Speaker 1 (00:03):
Guess who just got back today. The Brooklyn foes that
had been away. They both have so much to say.
You know, their name is a Brody and steering the bogs.

(00:28):
Brooklyn Boys, Episode number three, twenty six. What's going on here,
David Brody? What's going on? Scarry Jones? Another episode as
we head into a guy, We're almost in springtime. This
is crazy that we've had such a wonderful week of
warmer weather in the fifties here and it's not done yet.

(00:49):
It's gonna be fifty eight tomorrow. I see the sun
shining bright outside right now. It's fifty degrees here on
a Friday as we record this podcast, and this is
in Florida and and other southern states, Like fifty is warm? What? What? What? What? What? Yeah? Yeah?
And for us, I had no coat on. For like,
if I went out to walk the dogs, I have

(01:09):
a coat. Oh great, Yeah. I tried that for five
minutes and I was freezing my balls off. I walked outside.
I'm like, oh, I went right back in, Like you
went over to a Scary's apartment to pick something up
a few days ago. And by the way, Scary Jones
looking swelt definitely a first quarter, scary looking good, and
he's got he's got a jacket on, and I'm in
my T shirt standing by my car and he's like,

(01:31):
aren't you cold. I'm like, no, no, it was like
forty seven forty eighty. Oh it's fifty four. He said,
isn't it like fifty four degree? I go, yeah, so
it's not that cold. He's like, I gotta have a
zip up on it. It's too cold for me. I
just got chills thinking about that moment. Yeah. No, they
were multiplying. I guess, is it because I have less
fat on me?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Well, I had less than you, and I'm just used
to it.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm I'm used to being well insulated with with lots
of lard like a seal. Yeah, blubber, I got blubber
on you. I didn't say that. You said you could
say blubber. It's okay.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
No, I thought you looked good.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Thank you. I appreciate it. But I'm looking at myself
this morning as I'm signing on to the zoom, I'm like,
wait a second, I don't look I look fat today.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, it's scary.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Has that you know those I'm not going to say
who is known for this but you know those people
who are like I like fat because they want you
to tell you tell them they don't. That's so I
was like, scary. Are you being one of those people
that's like, dang, I wasn't looking fine? Compliment if that's
what it wasn't after how you want the slices to
message you that they saw you on Instagram and you
look good.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I know what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I'm not doing that. That's not who I are. I'm
not worked hard. I'm not fishing for compliments. Yeah, speaking
of fishing that you probably you won't have another piece
of fish for months now. That's not true. I have
as soon as we finished this podcast, I'm going to
lay a fish. I'm going to put a Bronzeno in
the oven. I got Bronzielo yesterday.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'll look at you ordering the Bronzeno. I love Bronzino.
It's so bad and defensive.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Date. Yeah, you know a lot of people are just
so hell bent against trying new fish and trying new things.
They like their they know they'll like their clams or
they or they'll like their lobster or shrimp, but they
won't do like like pollock or by the way or swordfish. Well,
that's those are shellfish. Yeah, shellfish versus whitefish. Where grouper,

(03:25):
Mahi mahi, hall of it or bronzino. Those fish, they're
very mild. They taste great. I don't know anyone that's afraid.
I'll tell you what though, there's some people that are
against it. It's fishy. Let me tell you something. If
your fish tastes like fish, it's old. Well isn't it
supposed to? No, it's not my definition. Fish should taste
like fish. What you mean is it tastes like ocean water? Right?

(03:47):
It shouldn't taste oceany or nasty. You just got robotic
for a second. Don't know if anyody else hurt, No,
just no, just you. But that's okay, okay, all right? So, uh,
speaking of fish, I think I mentioned to you I've
had this problem with with Bjay's whole uh BJS because
I was buying cod filets for a while and making
chicken cutlets like but like you know, making cutlets out

(04:09):
of them, not chicken color. Obviously, I was using the
cod and they stop carrying it. So now all they
have at Costco and Jas is telapia filets and.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I forget the other one.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
There's another another filet that's not not cod. And I
don't want telapia and I don't want flounder. I want cod.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Is cod seasonal? I mean, fish aren't seasonal.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Not seasonal, it's just a matter of what they caught
that day or something, or well, they might be seasonal.
Maybe maybe the cod comes from a part of the
world where they they they they come to feed. I
haven't googled it.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'll google it.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Don't have to google it, but I'll I'm wondering why
there's no cod now for like three months.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
If they come and they spawn in certain an.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Is it the same seasonal thing? Like like malamar's they're
they're seasonal. You know, the chocolate covered grand cracker and
uh and marshmallow. People know what a malamar is. Malamar
Malamar is a seasonal of course, they have to be refrigerated,
and so they don't have him on refrigerated trucks and
they'll they'll melt in August if they haven't in the
summer times.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
You got to stock up on your malamars in the winter.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Correct, No, but yeah, certain sissions like they could.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Fix that though, after you know, all these years, like
you know.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
My my fishmonger, guy Tony, Tony the fishmonger, he's the best.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
This guy can insult you tell people, aw, you're a fishmonger.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Tony Fish. He gets the best stuff. He goes to
the market every morning up in the Bronx and he
gets like first DIBs on fish for his story here
in Jersey City scale. That's what he tells you. The
Hudson River, Now, this guy is the best. So he'll
tell me. He'll be like, yeah, well we don't have
that today. We do we have we have this, we

(05:55):
don't have that. And it's usually because you can get
with this. He's not a seasonal thing. It's a it
just happened, so the boats didn't catch a whole lot
of that. And or the pricing, the pricing is so
high on certain fish because it fluctuates like the stock
market through the day and through the week. That he
didn't think that halib it was priced very well because

(06:16):
there wasn't very much of it, so he wasn't going
to buy it for his store because he didn't want
to charge people fifty dollars a pound. So that's usually
how it works, all right.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Speaking of stock market.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
If you have stock or investments, I would tell you
that right now is not a good time to look.
Uh oh, I made the mistake last night of looking
at my stocks because I was getting all my tax
forms ready and the last few weeks have not been
kind to my investments. Now, is that just your investments? Well,
I think it's a People who follow the stock market

(06:48):
know what's going on. But the point is I would not, well,
look the stock market is let's say I don't. I'm
just making up a number ten thousand different stocks, right,
some of them go up and some of them go down.
Each company may be more profitable less profitable that week.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm just saying. In general, when you have mutual funds
and like it's a conglomeration of stocks, the overall stocks
that I own that I've invested in over the years,
it's not a good month. Okay. So if you have
similar I would not look. Well, I'm not I'm not
a day to day studying and analyzing. You should never
do that because the course of the year, you hope

(07:25):
it goes up. All I'm saying is because I had
to get my had to print my tax forms. You
have to log into the websites and see your total,
and then go to the document section and download your
tax forms.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right you can if you had it, if you earned
any money, you have to pay taxes on it. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
So I made the mistake of looking at my amounts
and how they've gone up or down in the past month.
Don't do that, That's all I'm saying. Keep yourself happy.
Oh look, I'm gonna set it and forget it kind
of guy. So, yeah, well, this is a good week
to forget it. Okay, I'm gonna really forget it. Hey,
you know what else is losing money?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Skype Skye. Yeah, I saw the notification just came across
my screen that they're shutting down in May. Skype is
over done. Microsoft paid eight point five billion dollars for Skype,
and look, I remember when Skype was a big deal.
I used to do all my out of town intern
interviews for the morning show. I would say, oh, give me,
you know, what's your Skype log in? Skype a screen name? Well,

(08:18):
and I would Skype interviews, you know, for summer interviews
when everyone's away at school.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I use Skype.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
But then, for some reason, when the pandemic hit, people
weren't skyping and then Zoom just went boom crust Zoom
went boom boom. Well, yeah, the thing is this with
Skype and.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Microsoft owns teams now, which is better anyway.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
The thing is this now with the ability obviously FaceTime apples, FaceTime,
WhatsApp has the video component in it. You could even
get on a video call on Instagram and Snapchat for
that matter. So all these other competing technologies all got
with the program. And then during the pandemic h Skype

(08:57):
got a little bit of a bump because everybody was
using you know, video calling. But that's what that was
the boom, that was the Zoom boom and the Microsoft Teams.
So there's so many out there right now that Skype
became unnecessary. But way back when that was really shit,
the only way to call people was like you know,
you would dial them up on their phone with a
video the video calls that was. That was the international

(09:19):
phone calls. But yeah, so the end of an era.
But I'll tell you it's going away, but you know
what's coming back? Scary, you must be very excited about this.
Oh what's coming back?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
F y r E the Fire Festival Round two.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
You might remember fire festival one scary Did you buy
tickets for that?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Are you invested in that? Somehow I did not know.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, Okay, So the guy Billy McPartland or McFarlane, I
got McFarland. I think the the guy who created that mess,
that dumpster fire, the dumpster fire festival. Now, I met
him years ago when he was he was launching a
new credit card called the Magnesis Card, and I met

(09:58):
him at an opening like a launch of event, and
he must have he knew there was a connection. I
remember he grew up listening to the Morning show and
I saw him an event, went to the red carpet
and in front of the Step and Repeat, and I
took a picture with him and I credit card. No,
I did not. I did not invest in that credit card.
But I was at the opening event. You know me,

(10:20):
I'll show up free apps. Yeah, everybody knew a happy hour.
So what ended up happening was forget it. That card
failed and then all those years later, fire festival came around,
and then that failed, and then somehow he went to
jail before me, Well he went to jail. But I
don't know if I ever told you this or the

(10:40):
slices that BuzzFeed did an article about, you know, the
the top something reasons not to be, reasons not to
hang out with Billy McFarlane or whatever the case. And
you know with every every time they they do a
bullet point, they do a new picture. Well, picture number six,

(11:01):
whatever bullepoint number six was, there was a picture and
it was the they used the fucking picture of me
and Billy at the niece's card red carpet event. So
I was in screenshot that that that page. Oh god,
it was year It was years ago when BuzzFeed had
the article screenshot at it would have been great to
post now like he's back baby. Yeah. Well but anyway,

(11:22):
I'm like, I do not want to be associated with
this guy. I shoot this guy's hand once at an event,
and somehow I wind up on BuzzFeed. Get me the
hell off of his you know what I'm saying, Like
it's like guilty by the association, like that guy collateral damage.
Yeah no, but yeah, he's trying to form like Firefest two.
So when have you seen him talking about Yes, when

(11:43):
probed on who's going to be there, he says, there's
a whole, a whold.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Audio about you say about you said no, you say, oh.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Well, maybe we'll have this, maybe this person. We don't know. Maybe,
but but there's no artists yet, nobody's officially booked. But
tickets went on salor ready. The tickets range from fourteen
hundred to one point one million dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And he said, yeah, there should be lots of celebrities.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Who may be there. He may be there, But dude,
the guy's a conman. Who when did Jeff listen? You
take this anyway you'd like. But if someone's a con
man and cons you once and then goes away for
four years and then comes back, you shouldn't fall for
that same con man again.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well he did, here's a little bit, but yet people
caveat Oh, four years seems to be the key. Well,
tickets are already on sale and people are buying tickets already.
I know, I mean, they're not sold out, but who
would fucking buy a ticket sight unseen? After it failed
the first time, I will say this, he did come
out and say, you know, he's associated with it, but

(12:50):
he is not organizing the event. This time, a third
party company has stepped in to actually x you oh,
I totally feel better now that he hired a third
party company, h the guy that went away for fraud
for four years from the and he.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Didn't even rename it.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
He's calling it the same thing he did because that
has some cachet. It's name has some value to it.
People love it. There were three Manson's name had cachet.
I wouldn't name my company Charles Manson. There are three
net frit Flips specials on it. I mean, yes, tragedy, tragedy,
travisvesty and a tragedy and yeah and a Travis Barker,

(13:28):
all of it. He's trying to think about, you know, well,
maybe it's gonna have the same name value as Coachella
one day. You know, it has the same name value
as fire Festival, which is ship. This is the worst
marketing I've ever seen, Like, oh, let's do it again.
Well they changed, they changed the location it's on. Was
it moved slices?

Speaker 2 (13:48):
What is it? If?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know? You know, all for a grift four years
should not erase your memory when it's a grift, don't
fall for the grift again. Billy McFarland is a grifter.
It's happening in Cancun in the Isle of Women, Island
of Women. You let the mahaas you're gonna go brody?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna buy tickets to What if?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Then? What if they announced that Kiss was headlining? Dude,
I've seen Kiss twenty times. They broke up. They're not
touring that that they may they may do a one
off The Kisses said they may do one off shows.
I'm not gonna spend fourteen hundred dollars to see Kiss.
I've seen them a lot. No, you got back, not
for me. No. Led Zeppelin getting back together.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well three of them.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
No, I no, no, because Robert Plant can't sing like
he used to. And I know, and more importantly, fourteen
hundred dollars, that's who are you talking to?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Metallica they play all the time. There's nobody.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
There's nothing that you could you could put on stage
that would fourteen hundred dollars. Okay, nothing, even if they
wouldn't like naked women. I gotta say I secretly, I
secretly want to be there because it's an event.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
You know, secretly every slice nose you want to do there.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
I don't know who's playing. I don't know nothing about it.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
We don't know slices.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Leave us to talk back. If you were just stunned,
If you were just stunned, I want you to leave
us to talkber and go. I thought for I totally
didn't think Scary would want to go. No, one's leaving
that talk back with Scary and Rode. I talked about
the Cooper Sharp Cheese right on this podcast that it's
the greatest thing ever invented. You have to have people.

(15:26):
Was that your big that was your big home. That's
where That's where I last No, that's where I last
left off on my list of things that I need
to to talk to you about. Oh, because I wanted
an update about something that I repeated on this podcast. Okay,
I told the storage story twice and I didn't remember
I told the story. Oh it happened, it happens. What happened.

(15:47):
But I got an update. So I have an update
for you on the updated update that I updated twice.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Go ahead, scared, Okay, No, I wanted you know.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
So I was with Jetski Bryan in del Rey prior
to having explained the national audience that we have Delray Beach, Florida, Florida.
I was there and uh, after dinner, Brian was like,
I think we should. You know, I want to get
some ice cream or something. You know, I'm gonna have
a sweet tooth. Now I don't because I am not

(16:16):
allowed to. But I said, you know what, I'll walk
with you and we'll go in and let's see what
we got. We get online and the person is one
person in front of us, and we're thinking, oh man,
this is this is great because usually this place is
pretty crowded. It's got the best ice cream in town.
And there's a woman in front of us and she starts.

(16:38):
She's like, oh, what is this this marshmallow twist something? Oh,
let me sample that. You know they had the little
spoons out with the samples.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I'm okay. You're allowed to sample two things.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Two things? Okay, that's all right. That's see, this is
where I'm going with this, Brody. She sampled no less
than seven. I counted it, Brodie, no more than three.
Get a job there. No seven And then she wound up.
She wound up going with strawberry, which is a plain flavory.

(17:12):
It's like, you know what strawberry tastes, Like, what the
fuck are you doing? So you want to sample the
you know, you want to sample the rocky road. You
want to sample the cookies and cream and then all
the other There was a birthday cake flavor. I understand,
there's a couple. There was one weird one with a
walnut maple something cherman that maple walnut cherry something, And

(17:34):
I'm like, all right, so maybe you want to sample
that because it's a weird flavor.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I haven't had it before.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
But you can't sample pistaschio or vanilla. You know what
they taste like. Well, pistashia can go either way. Sometimes
they make that ship with almonds and vanilla. But how
many how long are you going to keep people waiting?
And then you end up on strawberry? Ended up on strawberry. Dude,
that woman would have sampled the back of my hand,
That's what she would have sampled.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I'm sorry this guy.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
You know, a lot of places you go into another
have a sign like a three sample rule or two
sample rule. You can't be sampling everything. Get a job
there and work time and you get whatever you want.
So no, I no, I couldn't believe it. We were
on a text thread with some of our friends and
we were like screenshotting like the woman. We've taken video

(18:22):
from behind of the woman wouldn't wouldn't leave. And I'm saying,
at some point the person who works that has to that,
can you step to the side, man will be with
you could sample more by My buddy Will chimes in.
He goes, He goes, dude, he goes, this is this
is a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, And I'm like, is it?
And I don't know, I've never seen it before. If
it is, apparently it's an episode I said, I said,

(18:45):
I'm living. I'm living a real life Curb Your Enthusiasm
episode in real time with with samples. So I don't
even know what the answer is. But Brody, what would
be an appropriate amount of of of ice cream to sample?
In your opinion? What are you doing? Are you ranting?

(19:05):
Why are you playing that? Hey? What? Why are you
playing the music? Raspberry raspberry chocolate? I can't hear it.
I try that. Tiramis sue good. That's a good one. One.
I think I will thank you, and I think I'd
like to drive them. Oh it might taste like let

(19:28):
me guess a banana, And I mean, this is really
this is so rude. You're like a sample abuser.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
That's what you want.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
You're abusing your sampling privileges the most. You can't just
go on, Oh my god, that's what happened to us.
And she ordered the vanilla in the in the episode
oh this okay, she ordered strawberry this woman. But anyway,
but that sounds almost exactly the same. Is what happened
with kerb. That's crazy, man, What do you think it is? What?

(19:59):
What do you think is a appropriate two?

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Maybe three?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
And when you have the third one you gotta turn
around an apologies two. No. He was like, She's like,
I'll try the banana. Goes, Oh, you're gonna try the banana.
He goes, I wonder if that's gonna taste like, I
don't know banana. Wow. He called her out on it. Yeah,
you can't two samples. You're like, oh, do I want

(20:23):
the Do I want the rum raisin? And let me
see if it's good rum raisin? And they have some
unique flavor. Let me try that unique flavor. Is it
about is it not trying to get it for free?
Or is it about the people behind you? I think
it's more about the people. Okay, what if there's nobody.
What if there's nobody but behind you, you still can't
have three dollars worth of ice cream for free at
some point, and you're wasting plastic spoons. You're wasting the spoons.

(20:46):
I mean you're also wasting the time of the employee.
And two, maybe three if you want to go three,
go to apologize. On three you gotta go, Hey, listen,
I'm really sorry. I see that you have a black
ribbon cherry whatever. I I've never had that before. Can
I just last one? I promise you got to give
the last one. I promised you have to. You have
to the third one. You have to give the pre apology.

(21:07):
You got to explain it. You got to say why
it's special, and you and you and then you, you know,
you gotta do. You can't order a mini cup at
that point. You got to order at least a small
so that you you didn't waste the kids time or
the person mind the counters time getting three samples and
they gotta give a mini cup. And this is me talking.
You can't do that. Can you get a pop cup
to go? A pop cup for the dog? Cup for
the dog? Yeah, because they give dogs pop cups. At

(21:30):
a lot of these places. No, you're not You're not
buying it. No, and I and listen, I'm all about
free samples. Wrong, I'm shocked. I am shocked. I did
you around the cost go I go around the costco
out twice to come back and get those microwaved whatevers.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh, giving up pigs in a blanket. I'll right back.
I'll come back again.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah. But when you when you keep people waiting at
the counter, No, Two, maybe three and three has got
to come with an apology, and you got to turn
around and apologize to people behind you. I'm so sorry.
I just I did so many good flavors. Okay, now
that's fine, right, and then then you have to buy
one of those three flavors. Right, if you didn't like
any of them, buy the fourth, any of them. But

(22:10):
you know, I've I've heard people go, well, at least
I know what I'll have next time. They'll do that.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I go, well next time.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, but you can't have chocolate to come back. You
can't buy chocolate. You gotta have something different, you know.
But like my father was a big fan of uh
vanilla ice cream and UH we would go to places
that had like you know, thirty flavors or with all
kinds of exotic flavors and then you know, uh, and
he would get vanilla. But that's what he liked. They

(22:37):
made him happy. But but sample he just knew he
wanted vanilla, right. But then there's several types of vanilla.
There's French vanilla, which has like a deeper color to it.
Not a gascar, not a gascar. Dad, My dad was
playing vanilla Novani, vanilla bean, No, no, nope, vanilla he wanted.
My father was the definition of vanilla. You want a vanilla,
you got vanilla. He got his vanilla, and my mother

(22:57):
would say to him. My grandparents would be like, they said, hey,
there's all these flavors like vanilla.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
So that made him happen.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Now, what's this retread about your Okay, the story that
we told the case, this is your first ever episode.
I have this storage unit right for the stuff that
that that was overloading my garage when I had oh
the story you told twice, right, right? So I told
twice and I told you that. Originally I was paying
like I don't know what it was at this point,
seventy dollars and they raised my rate to one hundred

(23:25):
and twenty five and whatever, and I got them down
the lower to like ninety six. I think I'm paying
ninety six plus tax, ninety five plus tax. Anyway, I
get the autopay come in this week on my on
my phone, it says thank you for your payment. So
I look at the thing and it says, thank you
for your payment of two hundred and thirteen dollars and
ninety five cents. Ninety six cents? What to thirteen? What

(23:48):
the fuck?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
But is that more than twice?

Speaker 1 (23:50):
What? No?

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:52):
So I go, Okay, First, my first thought was podcast.
Second of all, I said, make a note that you
don't tell a story twice. Then I called up and
I spoke to a wonderful woman, Carmela, who's and I said,
can you help me with that?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Just hold on.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'm the new manager here, I just started a couple
of days ago. Tell me what the problem is. So
I told her the story that I told on the
podcast about how my rates went up in it down
and up, I said, And I agreed to ninety six.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Okay, but two thirteen?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
What well, sir, the company reserves the right to raise
the rate at any time, I said, I know, but
you raised the raid on me four months ago or
five months ago, whenever it was.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I already did the increase. Now you're doubling.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I go, I just went on your website the same
unit as eighty six dollars internet price if I take
out a new unit. So just cancel it and I'll
take you out a new unit of eighty six.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
What the fuck?

Speaker 1 (24:45):
She says, I'll let me see what I can do.
Click and click and click and clicking on the keyboard.
She goes, all right, I reversed it. Your back down
in ninety six. Wow.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
So I said, well, I.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Can't get the internet price eighty six. She says, well,
we can give you the eighty six, but you'll have
to move all your stuff in another unit. Oh hell no,
I'm not gonna just move everything. Just give me the price,
so I'm back to ninety six. My point is, again, slices,
keep an eye on your billing because companies will try
to fuck you with autopay where they think think you're looking.
They're like, oh, thank you for your automatic payment. Yeah,

(25:17):
they doubled it. They doubled it every once in a while.
If you have an iPhone, you should actually take a
look at your current Apple subscriptions and seeing what's on
auto pay. You're gonna find stuff there that you thought,
oh shit, I forgot all about this thing, and it's
on and it's in the background taking your money every month.
There are some apps to Little Pay, Google Pay, same
thing you could see like auto payments that you didn't

(25:38):
even realize you were doing. These apps are literally take
it's it's auto charging you in the background and you
may not realize it. Well, it's not for stuff you
didn't sign up for. It's stuff you signed up for
you forgot about. Correct. Yeah, like I don't need this
video GPT thing. I don't know, but apparently I've been
paying like nine to ninety nine a month for it.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Oh congratulations.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, that's fucking forty dollars out the window because I
signed up, never used it, forgot I signed up for it.
I did one of those free trial things and then
it went said, oh and in six days it's gonna
it's gonna auto pay, and you agree to that, you know,
realize that. So I got screwed. But anyway, keep up
with your Apple subscriptions. Absolutely. Let me ask you. Yes,

(26:24):
I know you're not a frequent flyer, but I wanted to.
I want to. I wanted to bring stuff in my
carry on, and I wanted I didn't want to check
a bag. So it's at the airport and I get
from New York to Delray Beach, Florida to West Palm
Beach with the carry on, No problem, bring the bag

(26:47):
goes through everything. My luggage done. Now I'm going from
Now I'm going from Fort Lauderdale to to San Jose.
We're going to coast Rica. Okay, same thing. I want it,
just to carry on. Didn't want to check a bag.
All of a sudden, it's that moment of truth where

(27:13):
your bag gets past the X ray and goes onto
the rollers and then it stops. And then you know
that either it's going to go to the left for
the auxiliary set of rollers, or it's gonna continue straight
and continue rolling toward you. Well, my my my bag
made the dramatic turn, and then they went and I'm

(27:35):
like no. And then my bag went to the other
set of rollers and it rolled to the left and
then it rolled and I'm like fuck, So now they're
gonna go rifling through my bag. So I get I'm like, okay,
what could it be what could it be?

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Sex toys?

Speaker 1 (27:50):
No, dude, please?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Uh did you get the Joe Rogan mushrooms?

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Rogan mushrooms? No? No, no, no no. So you know
there was a little circle, you know, they look at
the X ray and like aha. And he opens up
my bag and then opens up my my toiletry pouch.
I'm like, what's in there?

Speaker 2 (28:07):
You five hundred dollars shampoo?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm compliant, opens it up. I had in there a
very expensive hair gel that I that I like to use,
especially when I'm doing my my program. There, you know
that I that I like to like. It's it's kind
of like a weight list and the oil list, and
there's not a lot of chemicals in it. See I
didn't say it. And it was three point seven ounces

(28:35):
and the limit is three point four And I'm like
the son of a bitch. And and then I'm like,
I don't don't take this away from me. I'm like,
that cost me thirty dollars. You know I exaggerated. Once
you just put a little in your hair right there?
Put three ounces And then he grabbed my toothpaste, my

(28:56):
toothpaste Brody, which was originally a five ounce tube, but
more than half of it was gone. So I said,
oh no, no, nounce right, I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoah.
He goes, it says five ounces here. I said, I know,
but but if you take a look, it's halfway done.
There's only about two and a half ounces in there.
That's well below the three point four living. He goes,
we don't know that for a fact. He goes, ah, no,

(29:18):
he so he took my fucking toothpaste and my hair jel, Well,
why don't you just take some of the hairjel out
putting your hair because it wasn't because he was gonna
apply the same logic. The bottle says three point seven
buck you oh, the said three point seven No, it
was ounces. Well, I didn't know, but what's an out
no amongst me doing this since two thousand and one,

(29:40):
you didn't know. I know, but they've gotten lax. And
by the way, I said to the guy, who wait.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
A second, lass Los Angeles Airport, I said.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Hio, I said the TSA, I said, wait a second.
I came through the same TSA to get from New
York from New York to Palm Beach, Florida, and this
bag went through and nobody said anything about it. So
why is there a problem? Now? Why is there a problem?
And you're taking not one but two of my items
out and he says, sorry, sir, he goes you can

(30:07):
you can choose to check the bag anyway. I was
about to make a federal case out of it. A
supervisor came by and I'm like, you know what, I
don't I want to I don't want to press this anything.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Take the hair gel, put it in your hair as
much as you could.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, just score the whole fucking thing a hairdel or
you know what, check your bag at that point. No,
it's not worth the toothpaste in the hair gel. Why not?
How much is it to check a bag, because then
I have to go all the way back to the
beginning and go back up and out pass the security line,
You bastard slices. Would you have just gone and checked
your bag at that point? No, rather than waste your product.

(30:41):
You're at the point of TSA where you're almost going
to gonna go to your gate. You're well past anything.
You're well past the entire security line. You would to
be gonna go back upstairs or around the thing, or
and check and wait in that line to check a
bag just for fucking toothpaste.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well that's what I now. Here's the thing I don't believe.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
I got into it a debate with a woman on
Facebook and in one of my group pages, they're talking
about going through the airport and the check in line
and how they One woman was like, oh, I accidentally
had a water bottle. I forgot my water bottle and
they stopped me. All right, now, first of all, I
don't know how you accidentally have a water bottle in
your bag. But okay, So this other woman says, Oh,
if you want to bring water through TSA, just tell

(31:20):
them it's for your medication. You got to take pills.
So I said, why would that work. You can go
buy water at the shop once you get through security exactly.
She said, Nope, they never stopped me. I just say
it's my medication. I show them my pills and they
let me keep the water. So I said, so basically,
a terrorist can bring lighter fluid or or you know,

(31:40):
some kind of explosive liquid on the plane it looks
like water and just go oh, it's my Oh it's
by the way, terrorists, if you're listening, please don't take
that advice from me. If you're a terrorist, slice you
didn't hear that from me? What kind of bullshit is that?
She's like, Oh, I just tell them it's my medication.
I need to have my water with me, and they
let me take the water through. Well kind of, I

(32:01):
don't care if the woman needs medication, take the medication.
Did you finish the water? Go through security, Go buy
another bottle of water. You don't take medication. I mean
thirteen seconds and apparently she claims they let it go
through every time. Just I've never been stopped. Really, Okay,
I would like to know if that's happened, if that's
worked for anybody, because I'm calling bullshit on that.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
But you should have told them, scary, you have a
hair emergency. You have to have your Hairjael with you
at all times.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, my teeth, they need me. They're building up plot
as speak. Yeah, you don't want plaque on the plane,
plaqu on the plane, plack on the plane. So no,
But but if if it's just an ounce over, a
couple of ounces over, they're gonna fuck me over on that.
There has to be a cutof Okay, the color you
said it was, you said it was three point se seven.
That's not a couple of ounces. That's that's tens of

(32:46):
an ounce, three point seven versus three point four. Right,
that's three tenths of an ounce, right, So what's a
couple of three tens of announces? Amongst friends? I think
what the problem is the hairjail company never should have
made a three point seven ounce bottle when the law
is three point four?

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Did you make it three point seven?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
That is stupid? And the toothpaste, which was five ounces,
was clearly halfway done, So well, what do we measure
it was halfway done? That was there was no more
than two and a half ounces in there. That was
definitely under the limit. Maybe they don't want you making
up some kind of concoction in the empty space.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Oh my god, I'll give him that one.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Dude, you got to have a small sample sized, travel
sized toothpaste.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
You don't get that. That's that I called bullshit on.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I'll give you the hair I wanted my arm and
hammer charcoal fucking toothpaste.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Dude, you have garlic breath all the time.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
That shit needed I need, I needed it all right,
So let's take let's let's take a break here, I
gotta tell you about Captain America. It's podcast. Yeah, Brody,
I went to see Captain America because you know, I'm
a fan of Marvel movie. You are quite the officionado

(34:03):
sports and I when the movies open action finished, I
go the Thursday before because the unofficial opening is the
day before, and I went to see it in Imax.
Now the theater I go to, you have a choice.
You can either sit in the big recliner chairs with
Dolby surround sound, or you can go to the Imax
theater where the seats don't recline. Now, for Marvel movies,

(34:27):
because they're big action films, I like to go to
see it in Imax, on the big screen and with
the best sound, the best sounds in the Dolby theater
Imax that they yeah, they have digital audio in one
of the theaters. Anyway, So I go to the Imax
and whenever I buy my tickets in advance, I like
to sit in the last row. Okay, okay, what is

(34:52):
the strategy on that one. I don't want anybody behind
me kicking my seat or whatever. And when it's Imax,
you get a nice big view. It's a beautiful view.
You know of this. It's the screens huge. I don't
want to be close, so I usually get last row. Okay,

(35:13):
So when I went to get my tickets, because it's
a big deal, it's the premiere of a Marvel movie,
there was no Now. I went alone, by the way,
because no one else was available to go with me,
and two of my friends wanted to go Friday, and
I don't want to wait till Friday. So I was like,
I'm going. I'm just going because I do a Marvel
Movie Talk podcast, which you guys can search for Marvel

(35:36):
Movie Talk on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
And I had to go see the movie. So I
got the next to the last row dead Center.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Cool. Way, that's close enough. Okay, what could go on? Well,
what could go wrong? So you know, I'll get to
the I'll describe the popcorn later in the story. But
all more movies now have to have a gimmicky popcorn bucket.
Remember the Dune popcorn bucket, which is not Marvel, but

(36:06):
it was like a yeah, it was the Sandworm and
it looked like it's a collectible, right, collectible. So the
popcorn bucket for Captain America is very unique, which I'll
talk about in a minute. So I'm sitting in the
next to the next to the last row, and there's
a there's a guy to my right and a guy
to my left. I don't know who they are, but
I make like a conversation with them. Oh, you excited

(36:26):
about the movie? Yeah? Whatever. These two women go into
the back row and they're walking through and they they
come in behind me and the guy next to me,
and I hear one of them say, now, keep in mind,
these are not recliner chairs. They tilt back a little
from the natural weight of a human being. They just

(36:48):
kind of they tilt back. If you wanted to sit upright,
you'd have to make a conscious effort to sit up
and hold your back straight. Otherwise, if you sit in
a chair, it tilts back a little bit, which is comfortable. Now,
I have a bad back, so when I drive, I
sit You've seen my seat in my car, I sit
back a little bit. Yeah, I see that. Yeah, okay,

(37:09):
So I'm I'm comfortable in my seat and the and
the woman, one of the women leans over and now
I don't know who she's talking to, and I hear
her say, excuse me, can you move your seat up?
My friend's pregnant. Now, I don't know who she's talking to.
She didn't tap me on the shoulder. I don't know
what she's talking to. And I can't move my seat
up because if I if I sit up, I gotta

(37:30):
sit like like a mannequin. And that's bad. It's bad
for your back right. And it's a stadium seating. The
place is made. It's made to be able to recline
your chair instead plenty of leg room. This theater is
so big you can sit back tilted a little bit
and people can still walk behind you in the road

(37:51):
behind you.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
It's that big.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Plus, if you're pregnant, your belly is not by your feet.
Your belly is by your belly. I don't know how
that affects the seat. So she she says it again, Hey,
what are you deaf? My friend's pregnant. Do you need
you to move? Wow? You? So I turned my head
around and realize she's talking to me. But I wasn't

(38:14):
ignoring her, So I figure she wants her friend with
the belly. I don't Again, the top of the seat
is about even with your kneecaps. I don't know why
her belly is an issue here, So I sit up
for a second and I and then I let her
pass me, and the two of them sit down behind
me and her friend and the guy next to me,

(38:35):
who I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
So I go back and I lean my seat back again,
like ten degrees. It's a leaner.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
It's it's not a recliner, sure, she says, So she
kicks my seat. So I said, excuse me, you're kicking
my seat. My friend's pregnant. I go, okay, what do
you I'm not the father, Why don't what do you
want from me? You gotta sit up, I said, The
seat doesn't sit up. I'm not reclined. There's no recliner.

(39:03):
But this is as the movie's going on.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Or so I said, listen, no offense.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
But if your friend can't sit in a movie theater pregnant,
she shouldn't go to the movie theater pregnant. I can't
move my seat anymore. So she's so she goes fuck
and the two of them switch seats. So now the
pregnant girl is sitting behind the guy next to me.
So I go, I sit back again, and she's kicking
my seat. I go, excuse me, you're kicking my seat.
I'm settling in. So I'm like, okay, I'm not going

(39:41):
to get up set, I'm going to watch the movie,
you know, the trailers whatever. And then they had access
to the back of your head for two hours. Yeah,
so all of a sudden, the trailers start. This is
before the trailers started. Now the trailers have started, and
and I feel like rumbling on the back of my
seat if someone was jogging in place on my seat. Okay,

(40:06):
I go, I go, stop kicking me, and she goes, relax, asshole,
She said, I'm getting my popcorn.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Now.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
A normal popcorn bucket, if it's on the floor, has
plenty of room to be picked up from the floor
and put in your lap without kicking the seat. No,
scary what you know? No, you know what the Captain
America bucket popcorn was. What it was a full size,
upside down Captain America's shield with a bucket built into

(40:36):
the bottom. Ye oh, that's cool. So it's like a
giant but the thing is like three feet wide and
she's running into the back of my seat. So, not
realizing she had the Captain America's shield, I say, stop
kicking my seat please. She goes, you know what, you're
ruining my experience. I said, I'm ruining your experience. You're

(40:58):
kicking my seat. My friend's pregnant. I go, that has
nothing to do with you kick in my seat. You
know what said, you are ruining my movie going experience.
I will call my husband, and my husband will come
down here and deal with you. So I turned to
the guy to my right and I go, can you
believe this to act like I'm not alone? Because I'm

(41:19):
fucking alone in the movie theater. So you're acting like
he was with you. And the guy on my left
is a big dude, So I go, So I whisper
to him like, wow, there's a lot of trailers.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
But I made it look like I was talking to
him like he was my ball.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
You three best friends, right, came to see this movie together. Yeah,
So I'm acting like I'm with three guys now.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
So she doesn't call her husband to come get because
these guys aren't gonna have my back. They don't know
who I am.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
But can you imagine this bitch is kick in the
back of my seat telling me I'm running her movie
going experience? Oh man, what does being pregnant have to
do with the seat being tilted? Back. She wasn't putting
her feet up. She'll never recly know she's in the
last row. Oh man, when that was my Captain America experience.
On top of that, the movie was average. It was

(42:07):
mid it was mid Were you were you afraid? Were
you afraid? I have to be honest with you. Until
the movie started, I was a little concerned the husband
was gonna job, so I kept talking to the guy
to my right, like, uh, yeah, I hope.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
It's you know, a bonus scenes.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
This guy wanted nothing to do with you.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
No, he was being friendly. He was being friendly. I
made it look like I wasn't sitting there by myself.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Wow. Yeah, listen, if you're pregnant, don't order the Captain
America popcorn shield if you can't bend down to get it.
I mean, it's a big fucking shed. It's too big
for a movie theme. How old were these women? The
older I would say, late twenties. Oh how old do
you think she was? Scary said she was pregnant? You

(42:50):
think she was seventy? No? The other one was. They
were both thirty Okay, right, okay. I didn't know if
what one was her mom or was it older someone
with her said, my friend is pregnant. Is pregnant? Okay, okay,
I would say they were late twenties, early thirties, like
typical younger pregnant. Okay, ish all right, I you know
I wouldn't know how to can't You can't go to

(43:10):
a movie theater and tell people to sit up straight.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
I'm sorry you can't.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Well, this is the same thing with the plane. With
being on a plane, it's like you have no control
over the person in front of you that wants to recline.
Yet you continuously see tons of TikTok videos where people
are getting into fights on these flights because the person
in front decided they wanted to recline. Well, guess what,
they have every right to recline. Now here's the thing

(43:37):
about a plane. When you recline your seat again, the
movie theater seats weren't recliners. The back of your seat
does go towards the belly of a pregnant y. Yes
it does.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
In that case, woman behind me was pregnant.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
First of all, if I was a pregnant woman, I
probably would have tried to get the first row when
no one's in front of you. But that being said,
I have nothing but respect for pregnant women, except for
this woman in the theater, who I don't know how
I could possibly helper. But if I as much as
I want to recline on a plane, if I had
a pregnant woman behind me, I would not recline. But
if you're just some person that doesn't want you to recline,

(44:10):
you fuck you're on a plane, don't get a private jet.
Then well, yeah, well that's exactly it. Why why are
all these fights happening? They're every person who complains about
the person in front of them is in the wrong
because now just what I you know how I can
remedy that situation by reclining my seat and moving away,
you know, so the person in back of me heels.

(44:30):
It's a domino effect. If you don't want anybody in
front of you reclining in a movie theater, then get
the front row. And in that movie theater there were
two front rows. There was a front row by the
screen and the front row after. Yeah, well nobody wants
to well, then don't fucking complain. Then you get a
problem from looking at the thing about complaining on I'm sorry,
reclining on a plane. If you're reclining your seat and

(44:51):
you go back slowly and gently. There's no problem with that.
But if I have a drink on my tray and
you're like boom, you like slam back my drink spills,
that's a problem. Or if you're someone who likes sits
upstits backs, it's ups, it's back. Yeah, I'm trying to
eat my meal and some people you gotta recline and
leave it there. These people are looking for a fight,
they will looking for a fight, but they had this

(45:11):
attitude like I'll get my husband. Listen, don't start a
fight if you can't if you have to give a husband,
and you know, if I'm the husband, First of all,
God bless you gotta put up with that woman. But
second of all, you really want to be sitting home
on a Thursday night and here, like you gotta come
into movie theater right now, there's a guy who won't
put a seat up, like you really, is that what
you're really gonna do. You're gonna come to a movie
theater and fight me and go to jail over your

(45:33):
wife at and needing more leg room or whatever for
a friend's belly. People don't think it through they just
they they they think, in the moment, I'm gonna call
what kind of person yells, I'm gonna call my husband.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
You're watching a Marvel movie. You're in a fun movie
like relax.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah. Well, you know, to them, they they want this
not good movie, was not good enough. They over that
kind of bullshit. They want their husband to be the
superhero of the night, the Cape Crusader swooping in and
knocking the fuck out of Brody. Yeah. The only good
thing about me going to the movies that when I
went is that I didn't realize I had uh from
a MC. I had free birthday large popcorn, free birthday

(46:09):
large soda. Hey, what do you know?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
You got something I got? I got yeah, and it
expired like three days later, So I was like.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Oh got it. I see, this is why I don't
go to the movies. I just reflected, that's why, you know,
I don't like that in my entire life, somebody has
picked a fight with me.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
No, I don't like the overarched bugs.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
The overarching theme here is I don't like big crowds
in dealing with the public like that, because sometimes, dude,
you go to every club, what are you talking about
the worst, the worst. Sometimes go to movies. Sometimes I'm
just the worst of the worst. Go to movies. What
are you talking about? You go to clubs with the
scummiest people. I just want to be in my own space.

(46:54):
And why do you go to pack clubs and packed restaurants?
I don't know? And concerts.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
You go to concerts all the time, and you have
to be in the pit.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Listen, hypocrite, hypocrite. Hey, can I have a moment of
congratulations here?

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yeah, you lost weight? You look good?

Speaker 1 (47:11):
No, no, another one would get another one, another one.
I got my blood work in order. Did I tell
you about this? Oh? No, you did not. Yeah, and
my doctor didn't believe that I was not not not
the guy from the program, the guy who did my
blood work, the real doctor. Per se. Did you did
your blood level dip down below prego sauce? Yeah, I'm

(47:33):
now somewhere between Marinara and ragou.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
No, you know that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
This just this is really just a lesson in being
able to achieve that achieve something. And if you put
your mind to it and every just pay attention, you
get paid to lose weight. You two can know everything
is reversible. So in November I went from that, that's
not true. Well, a lot of a lot of can't
reverse the damage, A lot a lot of things are reversible,

(48:03):
a lot of things fixable. Yeah. So when I went
for my blood work in November, I was borderline pre diabetic.
My glucose was through the roof, my cholesterol was really bad.
It was ten w forty this motor oil. What the

(48:23):
fuck are you talking? And yeah, no I was. It
was the numbers were out of line, and the doctor
wanted to put me on a statin and I said, whoa, whoa,
whoah whah. You know me, I don't want I don't
want to take drugs if I if I don't have to,
And he goes, all right, he goes, well, come back
to me in three months and we're gonna do a
blood test. Fast forward. I took another blood test on

(48:45):
Valentine's Day, did all my blabs. He calls me when
I'm down in Costa Rica last week, and he goes, scary,
I gotta let you know, I have to eat my hat.
What does that mean? Eat my hat? I'll eat my hat.
I guess he's got to eat crow. He's got to
eat his words, apparently, when he looked me in the
eye and said, I'll give you three months, three months

(49:06):
to clean up your you know, your blood work, he
was the Actually the odds were stacked against me, and
he didn't have any faith that I'd be able to
do it. He said, you know something, you have one
hundred people have come through here. Hundreds of people have
come through, and I give them the three months, and
they come back three months later and they wind up

(49:28):
still being having to be put on a statin. He goes,
you've defied all logic, You've defied all odds. He says,
you're everything to fy gravity. I didn't defy gravity. I
didn't take the broom. I didn't hit the high note
at the end before the halftime, but halftime, the halftime
of the show. It's a mission. He basically, my cholesterol

(49:53):
is well within the right numbers. I'm good. I'm no
longer pre diabetic or even to being it. My glucose
is low. All that stuff, everything is in order, Everything
checks out, and he goes, He goes, I don't know
what you did. I don't know how you did it,
but man, oh man, I never thought you'd be able
to do this, he didn't. He goes, I don't think anybody,

(50:14):
because nobody I've never seen this before, he says, So
go ahead, have a party, enjoy your vacation, live it up,
and when you get back, keep your shit in order.
I want to see you in August. So that means
I have to go. So now I have to actually
write this day down today as we're recording February twenty eighth. Yeah,
write this down and let's let's have up. You know,

(50:36):
like they have death pools, not a dead pool, but
a cholesterol pool. Cholesterol in what month will Scary be
pre diabetic again? Back to motor oil in his veins,
and so that in August when he tells you what
his numbers are, like, you know, I'm remember you can
undo anything. You can also redo redo everything. It's so true.

(51:03):
But anyway he'll be, you'll be He'll be eating his
hat again, and you'll be you'll be eating uh headtaks
and and and cheese, yea, all of it. What is
that cheese again that you like that Cooper cheese? Cooper
sh Yeah, hey, Scary, we have your blood results back.
Your blood is Cooper sharp cheese. Hey, Hey, one thing

(51:24):
I did see while I was on vacation. I don't
know slices. Maybe you've seen this before. Now I didn't
need any of this stuff, but but apparently this is
like a viral thing. We were with our buddy, Rob's
uh fourteen year old Moby Rotten. Our friend Rob Rob Dez,
Rob Dez. We were with his uh, him and his
fourteen year old son, Yea, and his son was driving

(51:47):
him up a wall because he wanted to get the
Dubai chocolate strawberries from a mall, And like, what, what
the fuck is this? Were you in Dubai? Why why?
I understand Brody google this. Apparently this is popping up now.
I brought this up to Danielle on our morning show.
She says, oh my god, that's the thing. So apparently
there are malls around the country that these are popping up.

(52:10):
There's a famous They're called Dubai chocolate strawberries. So the
kid we had to go a half hour out of
our way to get so he can take his kid
into the mall to the Dubai Chocolate strawberry stand. What
is Dubai chocolate strawberries. It's like a sixteen ounce like
a solo cup. Situation. They pour like strawberries in the cup,

(52:32):
and then they douse the strawberries in this dark chocolate
and pistachio cream and shredded Philo pastry and a stretted
Philo print pastry and it's thirty dollars. So this fucking
kid comes out of there. He sits in the back
of the car. I'm looking. I'm like, that's it. He goes, yeah,
these are them. He goes, They're awesome, right, And I'm like,

(52:55):
I guess now, I haven't tasted them because I'm still
not eating sugar, but what the fuck brody? So apparently
every kid kids line up for this shit. There are
these pop ups all over the place. There are also
a lot of a lot of copycats. But it's a
specific chocolate from Dubai which is supposed to be the

(53:18):
best chocolate you'll ever put in your mouth. And you
can buy the bars of the chocolate. There's sixty dollars
for a bar. So did you do buy it? No?
I did not buy it.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Buy it?

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Do you buy No? I don't buy it?

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Okay, but I want to know because I'm kind of curious.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
How did you not buy it? It's the biggest gimmick
on on on TikTok, and it's it's a scam and
it's overpriced. Is it a scam though? Is it a scam.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
It's not a scam. It's just it's one of those
things you can overpay for because it's the.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
New hot thing. It's the new hot thing. And the
kid you didn't get it. How did the kid was
throwing at Brody. The kid was throwing a tantrum. Toda,
you don't have kids, he goes, he goes, I want them,
I want them. So on our way back from dinner,
we have to take a half hour detour to the
mall in del Rey to get these. And then they
had to go into the mall with sitting Me and

(54:08):
jet Ski Brian are sitting down in the car like
he's in and there can come back twenty minutes later
with the Dubai chocolate strawberries. And apparently, and you go
to the wrong time of day and it is it's
like a line around the around the corner. Maybe the
woman at the ice cream shop when she ended up
with strawberry, she wanted to buy strawberry du Bui strawberry.
Oh that's what she thought she was getting you thought

(54:29):
she was getting? How many strawberry references?

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Can we make it?

Speaker 1 (54:31):
One part? Seriously?

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Pay Dawn's strawberry?

Speaker 1 (54:33):
What about that? Listen?

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Are you berry fields for ever?

Speaker 1 (54:37):
I just want to know if any slices have tried
the Dubai chocolate strawberries? And is it worth the indulgement
thirty forty dollars for a movie? And the price is
a cop is a cup of fruit. It's a cup
of shit. You were gonna say, well, listen, I'm sure
it's delicious. It's just you know, it's the next big scam.
In a year from now, no one will be eating them.
Will be three dollars. Oh, one other food item. Before

(54:58):
we go to the the next thing. Because we're from Brooklyn,
where the Brooklyn Boys, we have to mention that a
Brooklyn staple has closed, Fernando's for KACHERI peoples thought it's
not a staple, not staples, a Brooklyn staple, Fernando's for

(55:20):
Cocheria has closed after one hundred and twenty one years.
This place was an institution in downtown Brooklyn and Carroll Gardens.
And I know that a lot of you listen. You
know you're listening. You know, but just know it's that
thing in your neighborhood from the Brooklyn Bridge, but that
thing in your neighborhood that's important to you, that's been
there forever, that's iconic.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
One of the guy works there and they make that
thing that they only make there, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
That shit that has closed down, and it's just it's
just a sin to see one hundred and twenty one
year old institution go tits up. You know, they made
this and Skype I don't know how much sleep tonight,
but they're known for their rice balls and their they're
Pinelli specials, chickpea, the crushed chickpeas on a sandwich. Of
places in Brooklyn that are known for the rice ball
special and the panel sandwich, right, and the other place

(56:07):
is Joseph, which the best rice balls you'll have eat
in your life. But this place was, in my opinion's
second best for rice balls because it wasn't just the
rice bull they covered in sauce and grated local tell romono.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
It was still it was amazing.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
I hope somebody gets his recipes and reopens it, but boy,
what a shame. And when you walk in, you feel
like you've walked into the early nineteen hundreds. You do.
The place is that it wasn't the most modern. You
could say it was a dive. It was dumpy. It
was a dump dumpee, but it was but it was
still Even Guy Fieri was like, I'm not going to
that diner driving or dive, not doing it. But it was.

(56:41):
It was a classic place. You know what the problem
is scaring it? It's it's it's no different than any
other neighborhood in the world. Places get gentrified, New crowds
come in, they have different food tastes. And this place
was in a place that used to be in the
old world Italian Yeah, and this is an old world
Italian place. And if the neighborhood change to people that
don't which droll when they see a rice ball, which

(57:03):
it did. You know, And there's no parking in that area.
It's not like you're like, hey, you want to go
in there and get some Yeah, let's go over it.
There's no parking lot. It's a street with no parking,
so you can't, like out of town ers, out of
other neighborhoods come It's a nightmare to get parking. So
this is what happens. It's unfortunate. So sad rest in
peace for cant Fernando's for Kacheria, Fernando's hideaway. Hey, speaking

(57:28):
of UH food and Italian food, I want to give
you two examples of the world. Look, I'm gonna say
how many years it's been, but it's been about ten
years roughly. Nobody believes anything anymore. Everything is fake news.
Everything must be a scam. Everything must be like not
what it appears. The moon landing, yeah, yeah, okay, and

(57:48):
the flat earth people not as bad as that. People
see stuff online and if they like it, they believe it.
If they don't like it, it's fake fank. I don't
believe it. Okay, I give you two examples. Dave Portnoy, Yep.
You know El Presidente from barstool.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
You know he does just one.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
You know, everybody knows the rules.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
Everyone knows the rules. Now, I'm not pizza guy.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
I'm not. I'm not a fan of his reviews in
the sense that I don't like Uh take everything he says.
I don't care if if my pizza has flop or not.
Like I'm not like a I don't worship at the church.
Take stock in his pizza reviews. Here's what I do.
Do do do you do? Dude? I take a lot
of respect usually in the pizza places he chooses to
go to, because they're usually based on recommendations of people

(58:32):
that know good pizza, right. And I know that he
likes thin, cross bar style pizza, So if I see
him eating a thick pizza that looks good to me,
I don't necessarily take his word for it because I
might like a different style of pizza. Plus his rating system.
He rates everything between seven five and eighty five mostly,
And the difference differen's been an eight to one and
an eighty five is like he just makes it up.

(58:53):
He's just like, all right, four okay. And these pizza
plays are like they have signs in their stores. Dave
gave us an eight to one, Dude, that's on a
scale of seven to ten. An eight to one is not.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
A great score.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
You didn't get a B. You didn't get an eighty
on your test. What you got was like a C minus.
But the number looks good, Like I got an eighty four.
Call me when he gives you ninety five. He doesn't
really give anything higher than ninety one. So everything he
reviews is like seven, you know, seven point five to
eight point six. Right, I've seen him give some really

(59:28):
shitty scores before in the five and six. Annoyed with whatever. Okay,
So he happens to go to a pizza place that
is not that far from where I live. It's maybe
fifteen minutes away. I've been there. I was looking for
pizza one day. I pulled into the strip mall and
the place looked like a dump.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
I walked in.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
The pizza looked like shit. So I walked out. You
can tell like it looked. It just looked awful. Well,
he goes there to this place and I'm like, oh,
I I know that place. It's in that town, right,
And he tastes, he goes, He goes, I'm in New Jersey.
I gotta try this place. It's on the list. I'm

(01:00:09):
doing like six places today. A bunch of people told
me i'd try this place. And he goes to the place.
He goes, I don't like it six seven, And he says,
why doesn't like it? Just doesn't look good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
It's floppy, doesn't have a lot of taste six seven greasy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Yeah. Now, I looked at it, walked in and walked out.
I knew right away it wasn't good pizza. Okay, So
all these people, a lot of the comments are like, yeah,
I've been there at shit. I've been there at shit.
And then a couple of people, like one guy writes, oh, yeah,
he only gives good pizza reviews to the places that
pay him. What he has not bought he is not

(01:00:48):
paid for. Sorry, guys, guy's a fucking multi millionaire. Yeah.
My point is, why can't you just believe the guy's
going to pizza places because that's his shtick. He makes
money off the shtick of going to pizza places, and
he gets hits online, he gets social media, that's what
he wants.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
He wants views.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Yeah, I don't believe his reviews.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
He gets good reviews. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Then then there's a couple of YouTubers I follow who
review all the Marvel movies, the TV shows, the science
Star Wars stuff. Same thing. Oh, another guy who's on
the Disney the Mickey Mouse payroll. Yeah he liked it
because he's getting paid. What why can't you just watch
her review and be like, this guy's a nerd YouTuber
who liked it or didn't like it. Yeah, but This

(01:01:27):
is the This is where it hit home for me yesterday,
yesterday day before. You know who Michelle Trachtenberg is, right, Yes,
she was opposite what's your name? Buffy? The He's on
a nick some nick shows. She's been on a lot
of shows. Young actress. Now she's she just thought she's
thirty nine years old. So I'm on Facebook and I

(01:01:49):
follow a specific news source, and the news this news
website puts up the story Michelle Tracktenberg dead at thirty nine.
Authorities and medical experts say, no suspicious, no signs of
suspicious activity.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Yeah, died of natural causes and anyone who knows her.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
And again I'm not saying this is how she died,
but she had recently had like liver surgery and she
had complications. I heard she had a liver transplant. Yeah,
whatever it was. I don't care about the specifics. You
you don't the betweet me. The point is it says
that the subject line is Michelle Trachtenberg dies, no signs
of suspicious activity. And if you read the article, it
says the family says nothing suspicious, medical experts, the police

(01:02:37):
came on the found in body.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Whatever, nothing suspicious.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
What's the first the second comment on this article, thirty
nine years old is too young to die of natural causes.
I'm very suspicious. She's suspicious, is Sherlock Holmes. You've blown
the lid off another celebrity death case. Even though medical
experts the police no signs of any suspicious you remained vigilant.

(01:03:03):
You stayed suspicious because you know the truth. This woman
is gonna outsmart everybody. She's suspicious. Nobody is suspicious. The
family isn't suspicious. Medical but the doctor the police showed up.
Here's an example of that suspicious Gene Hackman's death. At
first they said no suspicious activity. Well, now as things

(01:03:24):
are rolling out, it's becoming more mysterious. It's more.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
What they said was no signs of gas leak. So
that's what they said.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Everyone was like, Oh, it must be called a monoxynoxide.
The dog's dead, dead dead. No, the other two dogs
are the dogs, they're alive. Then they're living on the problem.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Two dogs are alive, so they didn't have gas ports.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
But the bodies were mummified. Yeah, they were dead, and
they found a bottle of pills opened on the side
of the bed. Whatever the case is now did the
dog take the pills? The dog was kinder, right, But
everybody but everbody's gonna the other dog was was in
a crate in the bathroom's closet, you know, But everybody,
I don't believe it. People, you don't believe they well,

(01:04:02):
there certainly didn't die of natural causes. The pizza guy's
lyon well, Gene Hackman was ninety five, but his wife
was in her sixties, of course, because that's what rich
dudes do.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
But she must have said, you know what, you're dying,
I'm going out with you now again.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
I don't know that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
We have no idea.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Maybe they both had bad fish for lunch and they died,
and the sleeping pills where she was upset stomach, I
don't know from the bad fish, and we can't buildup
for sleep. But I guess the larger point here is
who are we to speculate? Who is the comments section
on any thread of any story, the ones that are

(01:04:40):
the experts, No, they're not tracted. But I'm suspicious nobody
dies at thirty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
I'm suspicious, aspicious. I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
I'm gonna go to sleep tonight suspicious because I know
more than anybody. You don't know shit, you know shit,
shut up, Get on Facebook. Stay suspicious, everybody, stay suspicious,

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
Make us you're number one, the first press preset in
the first position. It would help us greatly.

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
Just like you know, I had two things over the
past two weeks scary, driving me crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
What's that? It was an actress I couldn't remember and
a song I couldn't remember. Now the song I don't
know why one line in the song popped in in
my head. Now scary, I'm begging you, do not yell
out the name of the song if you know what
it is. Okay, Okay, I want to tell the story.
So in my head, all I could think in my
head was bought up, bump up, up up, James Brown,

(01:08:27):
that's it. Ba ba bay back up James Brown. Couldn't
figure out what song it was. I'm singing and I'm
going but but but so I used the Google. You know,
Google has the search thing. We hummed the song? Yeah,
I hummed the song and it says, oh so close
humming the hits, hum the hits. So then I search
on Google for songs with James Brown and the lyrics,

(01:08:50):
and I find a website that has ninety pages. You
have to click next page, next page, ninety page. And
then I'm like, okay, the song can't be that old
songs from the two thousands, which James Brown and the
lyrics fifty sixty songs.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
And I can't put a life for me.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Fa. I'm getting YouTube videos. I'm listening to songs I
don't even know what. I can't put a life for me.
It took me three weeks. I haven't mentioned it because
didn't want to say it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Ing TI.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
I figured out the song finally. I'm walking the dogs
the other night and I've asked. I didn't ask you,
scary because I figured I didn't want you to tell me.
I wanted to figure it out. And finally it dawned
on me. I'm like, oh my god. So I google
the lyrics. I'm like, guess that's the song. But three
weeks I'm walking on going bump up, bump up, bump
of James Brown. I don't know that song, Brody, so

(01:09:35):
you got me? You do you do? So slices. I'm
gonna let you think about it. If you don't know
what you can think about it. I don't know, and
I'll tell you a little bit later. I'll tell you
a little bit later about what what song it is
because it's important that you that you I want you
to think about Okay, all right, bumm boom up James Brown? Yeah, no, no, no,
James Brown, do you know it? The slices I want

(01:09:58):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I wanna. I want you to
if you know the song, leave us to talk back
and sing that part of the song, leave us talk back,
sing that pop bump bump bump bump bump James Brown, right,
and if you again, if you look for songs where
James Brown and Brown has a lot of songs with
James Brown and the lyrics.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
But I got it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
I finally got it. So leave us a talk back
if if you know what it is to sing that
line and you talk back? Okay, So again, a couple
of weeks ago, I'm on TikTok and I see a
woman who looks just like an actress. Okay, And for

(01:10:36):
weeks I can't think of who the actress is, can't
think who the actresses, and it's driving me crazy. So
I bookmarked, I bookmarked on my phone. I I made
him in my calendar, my Google calendar, and I said,
by this date, you had better figure out who this
woman is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
And I can't figure out who the woman is. I'm like,
who is this actress? My god?

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
So then I'm like, okay, is it the girl from
Stranger Things? And I look at shit, Nope, not her,
And I was driving me crazy. I can't think of it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:07):
Okay. Weeks go by, scary.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Then then last week I remembered I think it's that
girl from a TV show from the mid two thousands
called The Class. Now The Class. I may have talked
about this show before. Remember the mid two thousands, two
thousand and six, mid two thousand, the aughts, the arms

(01:11:31):
got a big thing, right, and sitcoms would come and
go and none of them were successful, And there was
a show called The Class. In fact, John Bernhall, who
was on The Walking Daddy's The Punisher, he was on
the show. Jason Ritter, John Ridder's son, was on it.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who went on to become a big
star on Modern Family, he was on it. It's an
all star cast, but at that time nobody was famous.

(01:11:54):
Mostly nobody was famous. But I love the show. It
was like twenty episodes. Sure, so I'm like, oh my god,
I finally figure it out who it is. It's this
woman she was in Mean Girls. And I'm like, oh
my god, yes, three weeks. It took me maybe a
month to figure out who the girl. I went back
and looked at the video on TikTok and I'm like, yes,
it's hard that's it. This actress from two thousand and six,

(01:12:16):
that's her who is it. Hold on now, what I'm
gonna tell you scary is is I swear to you
on my life It's true. As I'm on IMDb and
I realize who it is, I'm watching my late night
talk shows. Now I usually watch Colbert, and then I

(01:12:38):
watched the monologues of the other guys afterwards. So I'm
watching Jimmy Kimmel's monologue and he says, all right, we
have a great show for you tonight. Coming up.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
We have Anthony Mackie, who plays.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Captain America, and this actress what are the odds? Her
name is Lizzie Kaplan, and she's She's done a lot
of other things that I've not really seen her in.
I know her from the class. My point is, it
took me three months to try to remember who this
woman is. And as I'm on IMDb looking her up,

(01:13:13):
She's on Jimmy Kimmel that night. That night. Yeah, Slices,
that's never happened to you where you couldn't think of
something for like a long time and then all of
a sudden, there it is in front of you. I mean,
the odds that Lizzie Kaplan would be on Jimmy Kimmel
live that night, after months of me trying to figure
out who this girl on TikTok looked like that's that

(01:13:34):
is lightning in a bottle. I had a similar, a
weird moment that has nothing to do with trying to
remember something, but it was just that at that moment,
one of the this cannot be reproduced. I was out
with Jetski Brian and we were having a drink. Here's
a lot of stories about you being out with Jetski
Bryant because we hang out. We have. We spend a

(01:13:54):
lot of time together during holidays, during during vacations because
he's got the time off that I do. Anyway, So
we're in a bar in a bar. Else has the
time off that you do. Nobody but Brody does mean
not mean. So we're standing at a bar, we're having
a drink and and there's this fucking neon light. It's

(01:14:14):
like like kind of like pulsating, you know, those like
club lights and stuff. Sure that awful. And it was
like it was neon, it was green and it was red,
it was changing colors, and I'm like God, I'm like
this this place is great. The atmosphere is all right,
but it would be it would be a lot cooler
if they would just shut this fucking light off. And
as I said those words, the whole fucking bar goes black,

(01:14:38):
the DJ stops, the music is off, the lights shut off.
They had a power outage. The whole fucking place turns
pits black, and I'm like, you took credit for it.
Brian looked at me and goes, that's not just happen,
you know. But Brian, he's high all the time, so.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
He's like, yeah, no kidding, who yo yo.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
And he's like holding his head and he goes, what
just happened here, Brody? The timing was impeccable. I really
wish we were recording or something or someone caught that.
But all I was complaining about was this fucking red
and green neon fleshing light in the corner. And I'm like,
and it was flashing at us. I'm like, it's so annoying.
I wish they would just shut that fucking shut that

(01:15:19):
fucking light off. Yeah boom, the whole place goes dark
and the everyone goes whom because you know, the music
goes off. They lost their electricity.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
And then the only person that saw you do this
is the guy who stone.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
No one's gonna believe him exactly, and he probably doesn't
even remember it himself. It's terrible. Yeah, awful, that's funny.
So you had the power? Yeah, I had the power.
Oh speaking of having the power, Oh, how did I
forget this? Oh? Snap? Oh snap? So we're in Costa Rica?
Did you get that?

Speaker 2 (01:15:48):
Obviously?

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Oh snap?

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Who sings I've got the power?

Speaker 1 (01:15:52):
I've got the power? Snap snap, because I will attack
and you don't want that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
So I was in I was in Costa Rican, I mean,
and the living room TV was like this nice you know,
four K TV, and we wanted to get some some
music rolling. Now. I don't pay for Spotify because I'm
an on iHeartRadio guy. Brian doesn't pay for Spotify because
he's stoned all the time and listens to his Bob
Marley channel. He's on. He's on Potify High. He's on

(01:16:23):
Potify very good, very good, Brody. So I'm sitting there
and we're like, so we're like log into Spotify on TV.
And as it turns out, someone the person who used
that TV last because it's a a we're in an airbnb,
they're into the they're logged into their Spotify account like
it was the they never logged out on TV, so

(01:16:46):
I'm like, oh, this is great. So and they obviously
pay for the subscription. So we're listening to everything, commercial free, uninterrupted,
all the music we want. And then two days go
by and all of a sudden, it goes from listening
to like a nineties dance playlist, which I had going

(01:17:08):
to all of a sudden and abruptly goes to some
NPR NPR newscast about some special report, so I'm like,
what the fuck is this. I'm like, I didn't change
the channel, so I turn it back to the nineties
club dance playlist, and then a minute later it goes

(01:17:29):
back to the NPR thing, and I'm like, the person
whose account this belongs to, they must be trying to
listen to Spotify right now, and I'm fighting them because
it goes from listening to from living room speakers to
playing on iPhone NPR podcast, so I'm like, huh, so

(01:17:49):
I'm like, fuck this person. I'm gonna fuck with them now.
For the next hour I was I was turning on
everything I could possibly find on Spotify, and then and
then twenty second later it would switch back It's like
we were playing like electronic tug of war with Spotify.
But I kept putting on like fucking the best of

(01:18:09):
the hairbands, and then I would go to some weird chice. Yes,
and you know what I pulled? You know what I
put on the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Nice episode three, Episode
three twenty five, bitches, last episode. So I'm like, and
now now he's like, what the person who's account? This
is like the Brooklyn Boys podcast, so they can be

(01:18:31):
listening right now, who knows.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
But hey, by the way, thank you for reminding me
that was me.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Who stole your mean? Who stole your Spotify account? Buddy? Yeah?
So two things. Number one, Potify, you can't name you
company Potify because I just looked it up to see
if it was taken. Spotify sued and successfully won an injunction.
Nobody can name their company Potify because it hurts their brand. Okay,
causes confusion, all right. Second of all, also, you know

(01:18:58):
what else causes confusion too much? Potify? Yes, so slices.
I hope you haven't already started the project I gave you.
I didn't mean episode two twenty, I mean episode three twenty.
Listen to episode three twenty in the background and jump
up those numbers for us. What's two twenty? Okay? What
was twenty?

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
Well, aren't we I thought we were up into two hundreds.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
I forgot. We're three hundreds. I forgot.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
I had a brain far for a second. So not
two twenty?

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Three twenty? All right, three twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Everybody listened to three twenty in the background.

Speaker 1 (01:19:26):
Yeah, fucked us, Brodie because the people who didn't listen
this far in the podcast, they were going to go
two twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
No, they three twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
They heard it. Come on, nobody turns off the podcast.
This is gold, I tell you now, listen real quick,
and then we got to take a break.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Right, we're out.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Oh all right, they're real quick if we end the podcast.
This is the song Scary that I couldn't remember for months,
months or weeks, whatever it was. It was a while. Yeah, uh,
here we go, can here it? Hands fits of the tantrums,

(01:20:02):
hands clap hands. I didn't even know that the word
James Brown was in that song. Yeah, it's get on
your knees and pray to James Brown. I can make
your hands clap. Wow. The only song I know with
James Brown is James Brown here because I'm in and

(01:20:27):
something good. Okay, all right, all right, you know, say
a prayer to James Brown. I know James Brown is dead.
James Brown is dead. It's like some rave song, yeah, slices.
What song was it that you couldn't think of for
like the longest time and it finally came you. Well,

(01:20:49):
you heard it like in a radio. That song was
driving me crazy and I'm the song's okay. I love
that song crazy. Okay, find young Cannibals, right, Yeah, very good.
Good Brodie, So you're a good man. We'll see you
guys next week. Pro boys, bro Bro Boys.
