how about that Scary Jones. I'm feeling it, speaking of
our names. We were given an assignment that we had
to send headshots for the big podcast network that we're
part of now, Yeah, the Illstrand podcast network. But we've
been part of the rand podcast network, haven't we. Yeah,

(00:45):
but now they're like doing something with it. Yeah, they're
blowing it up in a good way, not like blowing
it up, ending it. It's a glow. So they wanted
us to write bios, and so I had to craft
a bio about myself, as did I, as did yous.
So I I wanted to read a little bit of
of your bio. Oh really, because uh, you wrote it,

(01:09):
you know, third person was supposed to write third person like,
oh uh they you know, I wrote like David used
to be a member of the show, blah blah blah blah.
So I wanted to just after I wrote mine, I
got sent yours, and you know, some of the some
of the stuff overlaps in what we wrote. All right, well,
I'd like to maybe read some of your bio then,
I mean, it's only it's only fane. So this is

(01:30):
what you wrote. As a Brooklyn native who moved to
New Jersey. Scary isn't afraid to speak his mind. True.
He's passionate and enthusiastic about what he stands for, authentic
and transparent, telling it like it is. That's me, which
is why listeners trust and embrace his unapologetic real talk style.

on stage. No, no, that's supposed to be stage at events,
and I do it, says trying out, he says, Or

grand and cultural and charity events I go to like

(07:14):
want people listening to the Brooklyn Boys podcast to know
that you do cultural MCing and and charity events. I've
done charity events. I've hosted a ton of charity events
over the years. Scary is best described as a curious
guy who is open to new experiences and taking a
new challenge, unlike David Brody, who's the opposite, who's rigid
and is a creature of habit. I'm not rigid. I'm
more curious than you are. I look things up. You're

(07:37):
very You're a very rigid man who's set in his ways. Okay,
so you're here in the the dust. Scary isn't afraid
to speak his mind. He's passionate, enthusiastic about what he
stands for. So so you're passion about what you stand for.
Does that make you rigid? No? But you know you're
you're I have unapologetic real talk style as you do. Well,
this wasn't supposed to be a comparison. I'm just telling

(07:59):
you that was mine. I was like, Oh, let me
see yours. So that was me. Oh, you show me yours,
I'll show you mine. Yeah, mister Michael oh oh. Scary
often plays funny characters I do, such as the relentless, repetitive,
soft spoken telemarketer mister Michael Abenheimer. I see no problems
so far with this entire U, this entire bio, except
for the exploring cities and bullshit. I'll send you a
lift list after the fine. It's fine. Fine, I've been

I got out with the week's vacation. I'm gonna go

you guys are going. It's time for me to return
the favor for Tall Darren. He he he owns a

(13:23):
place in Marbea, which is the south of Spain, which
is Tall Darren's done very well for himself. So it's
not my Orca and not Abitha. He owned. He has
a place there, so he's blocked out some time and
I'm gonna meet him there. And then following that, I'm
gonna go to Amsterdam, which I've never been, which I'll
check that off my list. I have been. Huh, Okay, cool,

(13:45):
I loved Amsterdam. So I'm just gonna read the part
of my bio and then we'll take a break. That
that's very similar to your your uh please please do there,
Daddy Brody David is from Brooklyn, New York, and that
shaped his very opinionated personality. If he has an opinion,
you'll know it he is so again we credited our roots. Uh.
If he has an opinion, you'll know it. He is
passionate in the things he believes in, which is similar

(14:07):
to what you wrote, even though he'll admit years later
he might have been wrong, years later. Okay, and then
the rest of it is, you know, free dessert and
you know ketchup whatever. But that that was the part
where we overlapped. See I'm not ripping on your bio
because I wrote all legitimate things. I failed to see
one illegitimate thing I wrote, eh that they let the

(14:28):
listeners judge you and your big scissors with your top hat.
Hold on, now present the opening of Club Douche. What's
the biggest thing you you did a ribbon cutting for?
I opened up, I say, christening cruise ships because I
opened up the season at Coney Island. You opened up

(14:49):
the season. Yeah, we opened that. If you you cut scissors,
you can no. No, no giant scissors, no no. I
opened up me talking about grand openings symbolically, symbolically. Oh
so yeah, we're the big scissors. Oh so you want
a physical event with big scissors. Okay. I've opened several
key foods. Okay, you laugh, Okay, Howard Beach Queens hadn't

(15:19):
they They had a grocery store that went down in
one of the hurricanes and for two years there, for
two years, one of their key foods was just it
was terrible. People had to travel from the south end
of Beach on the water. Yeah, people had to travel
to like like to get to the next key food

(15:41):
by the way, Howard Beach. So after a long awaited reopening,
they did this big fan fare. They had the giant
scissors there and I I did a ribbon cutting for
that key food I've done. Who did they originally want?
They wanted me, They wanted a few people showed up,
like who couldn't they get? That turned them down and

(16:03):
they were like, oh, let's get scary. Also, last year

call it a photo. Op, I had a photo. I

(16:46):
you know the vibes. I know the vibes. I just
want to know when you use the big scissors and

picture with the minor food chains. In New York there
was a one of those quick medical places off now

opened that. Am I looking at your grand opening list
on your phone? No, I'm looking. I'm scrolling to my

(17:08):
pictures to find out where I used the big scissors.

the shoulder, but you didn't do any shoveling. Right, there's
that you got in there. Man, you're so fascinated with
the big scissors. Yeah, the big scissors, man, I will
your bio implies you're the big scissor guy. You're the
guy like that at uh like what pucks a tawny

my sleeves. I like getting into the neighborhoods. I like
going to I like doing things in the community. I
like hanging out in neighborhoods with people that's not in
your bio, but that in your bio. Listen for as
much you could make fun of me for being bougie,
as much as you want. I know the slices already.
Do you have this rapport? We can do that. Yeah?

(18:56):
Can we talk about you being boogie? Let me finish
my sentence first. Oh, I'm ready. At the heart of it.
At my core, I love going to neighborhoods and hanging
out with people and doing these types of you know, restaurants,
bar nights. I like a good like a local dive,
a place that's been open for like seventy eighty years.
I love those places just as much as I do

(19:17):
to you. Yeah, you go dive for dinner, Dude. If
I didn't have the job I had, I would want
to be I have to go to those places. I
would want to be Guy Fieri. I would want to
travel America and go to these cities and then really
get into it and try awesome food and hang out
with new people. What about you, what would you do
if you weren't doing this, say, being unemployed, Oh, you're sorry.

(19:41):
That's a bad question. Bad timing on that question for you?
What would you do if you didn't have a job? Erase, erase,
you weren't in the podcast, you didn't have a podcast,
and you you you're not in the radio business or
the broadcast industry. What field? Where would you be right now? Dad?
I used to be in retail and restaurants. I used
to manage restaurants and reat tell you ask me what
I want to do. I want to I want to

(20:03):
write comedy for you know, TV shows. Okay, that's ultimately
what I want to do. That's what I'm working on
working towards. Okay. So yeah, although I I I am
doing some like I said, I'm I'm writing for Wacky Packages,
and I have a possible gig with a with a
big couple of big influencers. I want me to write
songs for them. So I'm you know, I'm keeping busy.

(20:23):
But as far as like my ultimate gig, I don't
know to be Guy Fiertti. But that's not the because
I couldn't be Guy Fiertti because I would go in
every restaurant and be like, I can't eat that take
off the mustard and the cheese. Right. No, yeah, more
so for me like what they make and I have
to like, oh, you're you're famous for that great take
off those four things. My god, no way, no shot,
I'm I'm an as Is guy. I want to know

(20:43):
what made you famous? What? What's that signature thing? I wanted?
Just the way that you make? Okay, So Seth Meyers
had a guy on he's a burger expert. He travels
the country looking for the best burgers, and he also
owns a restaurant. And he said that it's you know
what the uh it's it's carrots, potatoes and celery, or right, carrots,

(21:04):
potatoes and celery. Is is the the the Holy Grail,
the three it's called the is it the Myraplex, the
the mirror Pua? Right, it's it's carrots, potatoes and no,
it's carrots, celery and onions potatoes. No, no, sir, you're wrong,

(21:24):
Good day, sir. It's what is it? It's it's carrots,
onions and celery. That's mirror, plaw, the Holy Grail, the
Holy Trinity, they call it. Yeah, okay, no potatoes, brody,
all right, but but go on with your bad yes,
onion council. Yeah, we used to make red clam chowder

(21:46):
rolling roaster in Brooklyn and that was what it was. Yeah,
it was. Yeah anyway, So apparently the Midwest or Southwest
or I think it was Midwest Trilogy on a Burger
and he said it's on every classic burger is mustard, onions,
and pickles. Really those are three things I would never eat.

(22:11):
So I'm done, Like for me, you know what the
trilogy on on a on a hambur on a cheeseburger
is for you, cheese and ketchup, cheese, ketchup and meat.
That's the holy trilogy. I don't eat mustard, I don't
eat onions, and I hate you guys know, I hate pickles.
So so Seth Mars was like, oh, yeah, make it perfect,
great and he ate it because he likes those things.
I could never do that, ye like, oh, give me

(22:31):
your specialty unless it was playing pancakes. Like what am
I gonna do? Yeah? If I want to make you
this this jumbalaya, what's in it? If I owned a
place and you walked in, I would smack you upside
the head with my spatula and kick you the fuck out.
No way, Dade, I would have you if you if
you walked in and you were you were a guy Fieri,
I would tell you that we don't have enough product
for you. You're out. Okay, great, okay. So speaking of

(22:53):
Scary being bougie, Oh great, great, can't wait, we go.
I want to tell you. I gotta tell you about
the lunch we had at Scary's house, at his apartment.
Couldn't do that. Next, Oh, I wanted to onto the
bougie thing. Oh the bougie part. Okay, Oh, you wanted
to tell the punch No, no, onto the bougie part,
he says, Oh, bro, I got you. Ketchup. He takes
out a bottle. It's got a label at the top

(23:14):
of green label it says plant based, which is weird
because ketchup is, you know, made from tomatoes, which is fine.
I guess the plant based he gives me organicville made
with a GAVI nectar. Ketchup. The ship he gives me,
I would walk out of any restaurant to have that
on the table. Well, you know what ingredient was missing? Yeah,

(23:35):
high fructose corns there. High fructose corns here, which is
the number you simply simply hines doesn't have high fructose. Well,
simply Hines serve that to me. Simply Hide will serve
me Mike's cola. When I came over, Simply Hines doesn't
have does not have it, and next to one I buy,
all right, well maybe I should get that. But anything
with high organic Hines well also organic Ville doesn't add

(23:58):
sugar like they still sugar in the simply hinds. What
I'm telling you is using a gave nectar is a
natural sweetener that's better for you in your ketchup. That's all.
Now you're the ketchup expert. By the way, did you
watch the video I sent you? Which one Stephen Colbert
on his show one of the band members, I hate

(24:19):
that all the band members had new sponsors. Oh I watch.
I watched that. The trumpet player did a bit where
like he comes to parties and blows his trumpet when
people are annoying at parties and the guy is talking
all the way. He's like, yeah, I want to tell
you about all the probiotics in this and and you
can't eat that because it's got this and oh it's great,
just like we had. I will watch that video. It
was you, so let me tell you why how scary

(24:39):
is Bouchie? But after this, after this, because I oh god,
damn it. Okay, all right, we'll go it's the Boy podcast.
My god, David Brody's you watch something else? What do
you got? What you have on things? I know you
have so many things, but you're just like, all right,
feel free, you come on the come on the air
here and you start attacking me. I'm fired up because

(25:01):
of my bio, which I shot down, ripping me for
like what I'm serving you at lunch? Do these are
the condiments? People? Organicville ketchup? But now what? Now? A'm
was like, it sounds like a sitcom where they can't
show real products, so they have fake products on the table. Organicville, right, yeah,

(25:23):
it is kind of a stupid name for a product.
You know, Like Jerry Seinfeld walks into his kitchen with
all the cereal boxes. He's like, oh, you want some ketchup?
I got Organicville, goes oh Jerry, uh yeah, And of
course George goes, Jerry, you can't send me organic vill ketchup,
which is basically what I did. He sounded like him there,

(25:44):
because you know, George is Larry David. So that's why
it all makes sense. So last night we're on the phone.
I was out walking my dogs and in the background
I hear out of nowhere, I hear oh. I said, scary,
what what is that noise? And he says, Oh, that's
my new diceon. And I said, do you mean vacuum cleaner. Hecause, yeah,

(26:06):
he just put a new Dicon. So I said, I said,
why couldn't you just say that's my new vacuum. Why
do you have to like name the brand name. Nobody
says that because it's not. It was your microwave would
be like, oh, that's that's my ge. You'd say that's
my micro Because Dyson doesn't make vacuums. They make machines. Okay,
they have a machine. They're not a sponsor, no, but

(26:27):
they have a sponsor that I have dice in. I
have an air purifier from Dicon. Actually have two. One
from my living room, living room, one from my bedroom.
I bought my girlfriend and my sister and my mom.
God rest your salt at the time. The dice in
the dice in hair dryer, which every every woman wants,
and a lot of it. If I if it turns
your hair dryer on, you want to be like, oh,

(26:48):
it's my dceon it's say's your hair dry? You would
say it's your dicing. Well, the dice in is a
it's it's bigger than it's larger than the product. Scary
driving his car? Honk kok, What was that scary? Oh
that was the b my BMW horn. Now it's just
your horn. Scary. So you take you take exception to
me calling it my dice. You called it a Dyson

(27:10):
as opposed to a vacuum cleaner. Well, nobody talks like that.
I was unpacking it, but I was really the instructions.
Well no, no, no, hold on, I want to get
to that in a minute. But oh, brody, what's that
noise in the background. Sorry, my Samsung q l ed
is a little loud in the background. My four K
Samsung is allowed. No, I wouldn't go I wouldn't go
that far. I think that okay. I think because I

(27:30):
was unpacking it, I was reading the instructions. I was
trying to connect it to my to the app on
my phone because it actually it's part of your your
The dice in app is all dice in world products, right,
so all they all talk to I don't know if
to talk to each other. But anyway, I say it
as scary. I say, Scary, why would you turn your
vacuum on or'or on the phone. He says, I'm trying
to program it? I am, I said, what do you mean?

(27:52):
You're trying to program it? We're on the phone, and
Scary says, why he's trying to program it? How he's
trying to program it? Right? I was trying to Scary,
why are you trying to program I was trying to
change the language from English to Spanish. Yeah, why would
that be scary? That's because I'm not going to be
the main user of said Dyson. It's gonna be my
it's gonna be my cleaning person. That cleaning person. So

(28:20):
you're cleaning Stella and you're switching it to Spanish so
she can so she can understand it full well that
you will never operate it. She doesn't speak English very well.
So what do you want me to do? You can't
make this ship up. There's a reason. And by the way,
why didn't you say that? Maybe is my housekeeper's dice?
I bet you Dyson is listen. I'm not saying they're

(28:42):
racist or anything, but they only give you the instructions
in English and Spanish and if you want on the
languages French. People in need it. It's a hold on.
It's a worldwide brand and it's they're not instruction booklets.
They're not even from the world. I don't think they're
America and are they They're different, like a different country anyway,

(29:03):
So this is German. I don't know what I will
say this. I give them a lot of credit because
when I clicked on the language selection in alphabetical order,
it had about seventy different languages that you can set
your dyce in too. Because there's a read at the
vacuum has a they're British, their British ever on their screen.

(29:24):
There's like a you know, a readout. It's like an
LED read you know screen. So named after Sir James Dyson,
the British inventor who was born in England. He's the dude.
He is named after the guy, but he's not the guy.
He is the Steve Jobs of Europe. With this product,
any dice in anything that anything that you get in
the world of Dyson is properly is awesomely packaged, much

(29:48):
like Apple products. There's a lot of thought and he's
the guy. Yeah, that was that went into that went
into preparing your package commercial for Dyson. Sound sounds familiar, though, Brody.
How you refer to Dyson as your vacuum similarly the
way I pack envelopes for Slices when I send out
T shirts because everything matters. Hey Daz with the sexy voice.

(30:11):
If you listen to Slice time a couple of days ago. Okay,
I packed your your package up right? Did you care
that it wasn't perfectly straight with a ruler and and
uh and uh and and a level as I can
hear her right now screaming that she wants a little
bit more TLC. Next time I drew hard, I drew
her big bombs on her on her shirt. That's more

(30:32):
important than you wrote Stacy and spelled Stacy wrong. Haven't
heard from Stacy yet or Billy. Well, I'll say this
because I fixed it just to just to just to
like defend myself. Okay, one more thing about Dyson. Okay, yeah,
all right, it's not when you go not a commercial?
Not a commercial? No, oh my god, yes, no, I

(30:52):
have to defend myself. Does diceon and parabins? Sure they're
a little bit more money. But take a look at
the hair dry ladies. Ladies, ladies, look at the hair dryer.
You're not going to burn your fucking hair when you
use it. Why ladies, men have hair, They use their
hair dryers, I know, and they're there are two There
are things of like three beauty products that are phenomenal,

(31:14):
top of the market. But it doesn't. It won't burn
your hair to a crisp when you're drying it, but
yet it will. It will dry your hair quickly, and
so take a look at the benefits and features of
what it can do and how it's healthier for you
and your hair so you're not destroying your hair. What? Yeah,
did you? Did you buy the Gen size the Gen

(31:36):
five outside cordless vacuum with eight accessories in nickel blue?
Damn straight? I did? Seriously, the one I just picked
at random? The Gen five, the Gen five Direct, the
Gen five cordless vacuum with eight accessories? Is Gen five?
What the direct? Whatever it is? Gen five Outside, doesn't matter.
It's the brand new one. Gen five Outside is on

(31:58):
sale at Best Buys. You want to take a guess, okay, Brody, no, okay,
just let's move on, Let's move pay less for their cars,
Let's move on. So I'm gonna say anyway, I want
to make what do you referred to it as your Dyson?
I would have called it my my, the thing I'm financing.
Holy shit, who's your bastard, dude? I don't have kids,
suspended on. Let's let's let's okay. I went to right,

(32:20):
you gave birth to a housekeeper. I went to a
community college, so I didn't have bills. Sally May, family May.
Brooklyn College is in a community college. It's a city college,
a city college, all right, So I had no a
lot of people have what the Fanny May and the
Freddie Mack problems. No that people will the state mostly
college loans, college loans, student loans. Right, never had the

(32:42):
student loan issue because I went to a local school,
humble beginnings, and I saved my money, and I don't
have any kids or family. I live alone in an apartment,
in a one bedroom apartment. So so yes, I will
be splurging on traveling, and yes I'll splurge on a
frigging appliance or two on Stella's vacuum. Estella, Estella, Estella. Yeah,

(33:03):
her vacuum. So we all have you know, I you know,
that's it. Who do you want me to do? Make
fun of me? Keep making fun of me? And yeah
and my, oh, can't forget my seven million forms of
sixty three thousand dollars system that we broadcast on. That's
where my money goes. I know, I know Ober Uber

(33:25):
is drinking food. Take a look at my If you
look at my annual expenses, you'll see exactly where my
money goes. And and how somebody else who has a
family of five or six, you know, we're you know,
where they're forced to spend their money. But yeah, no,
I don't speaking to Uber. Did you send me the
video of the self driving car in Arizona? That was me?

(33:47):
That was you did. Did you look at the car?
Did you look at the comments? I didn't look at
the comments. I just know the company was like weyno
or something like that. Yeah, way moolee guy was like, yeah,
it stands for way more dangerous, way more dangerous. So
so somebody wrote a lot of people writing we'll explain
what we have to explain what this is. So basically
driving car like like uberc he shows up, it shows up.

(34:08):
There's a code in. There's no one get in the car, right,
but there's no driver. It's a self driving car. Some
self driving car means no. But the thing is a
lot of times they you're talking about for deliveries and stuff.
But in this case it's a self driving it's Huber
self driving. No one's in the car, right, it picks
you up. You put a code in, it opens the
door like on your phone in the app. The door opens,
you get in, you can put your own music, you

(34:29):
can put there's like a little tablet in the back
or a screen, and you control everything, right, no more
listening to like music from God knows where in the
world you have to be forced to listen to. And
the car, the driver likes music from wherever he's from me.
And then there's nobody in the in the driver's see
you think, or smell or cigar smell or what. And
the steering wheel is steering itself. It's like just randomly
like it's crazy to watch it, you know. In motion,

(34:52):
we can we can talk like, well, first of all,
would you ever get in that yes? Okay, the local
street driving? Maybe would you get on the highway? Uh? Yes?
But the answer for both is not in New York
right now, It's being used in Arizona. Ask you that,
I said, will you get in it? Yes? Right now?
Yes in Arizona. And would you get in it? I
think easy drivers everywhere, we need a few more years

(35:13):
on that. I would do it in Arizona. I would
do it in Arizona. So a lot of the comments
from the from the from the Karens, like it's gonna
cause people jobs, people jobs, You're gonna you're gonna put
Uber out of business, right, so, look okay, Like I
always feel bad when people lose jobs. I do. But
were the same people crying in this post about Uber

(35:34):
and lyft drivers losing their income? Were they also crying
when cab drivers lost their income because Uber and left? Correct?
They were were horse and buggy people fans crying when
cabs were invented. No, because technology moves on and either
you're here for it or you get left behind. Right.
So he came to like, oh, this is terrible, it's

(35:56):
gonna everything that everything in in prov I sold one
comment it said, do you want to go back to
home phones? This way operators can get their jobs back,
which I thought was very was poignant, like remember you
used to call the operator, Hello operator, and you're like, yeah,
can I can I give me the phone number for
Scary Jones and such and such towns. All these advancements.
People have to realize all these advancements are for you know,

(36:19):
quickness and speed and brevity, and it's for to benefit us.
And so unfortunately toll takers go by the wayside. The
job drives up, there are no toll takers, and then
they're losing their job. That's unfortunate. Do you want to
wait in six minute lines? No fucking way, you're told
you want to go zip right through the easy pass.

(36:40):
I feel bad if you're a toll taker. I do.
But you can't every everything that that's progressed. You can't go,
oh my god, think about the jobs that a love.
You also have to think about the people building those cars.
There's revenue there for people building self driving cars. The
scientists who are the inventors who came up with the technology.
There's a great book which we read in college and

(37:01):
it's and honestly, and this is me being serious for
a second, was that the last book you read? Yeah,
huh huh. This is It's called Who Moved My cheese.
Of course, it's a great book. It's a simple read.
It's it's you know, I hate reading, but it's literally
like it's it's like a very easy read and it's
a soft you know, it's it's it's a small book.
It's it's it'll take you. You can probably get to

(37:22):
the book in a couple of hours. But here's what
it is ahead what the the the point is it's
for anybody, and it's for people who might might be moving,
making a career choice, or losing their job or like
oh shit, now what it's a perfect read for you
at that time because you will realize that that things

(37:42):
move on and things move to different places. But you've
got to go now find you know, the cheese. It's
obviously a metaphor a metaphor, right, So the mouse is
always finds the cheese at the end of the labyrinth.
They go the same way, it's the same routine. So
now the cheese has been moved, meaning industry has dried
the jobs have dried up somewhere else. Now you've got

(38:05):
to go find a new path to get that cheese
or what is the new piece of cheese that you
can go after. So it's a great book, and it will.
It'll probably help you out immensely, especially if you're going
through tough time. Trying to point out that, for me,
the best part of taking an uber or a lyft
is the driver. I enjoy the conversations. I enjoy the
people I've driven with, except for the guy who gave

(38:27):
me less than five stars and ruined my rating. But
other than that, I like those guys. I like people
working hard for a living and they're personable and fun.
I don't want abody to lose their job. But you
can't look at technology and your first thing you think
of is the job. I was all like, for instance,
you just mentioned that book, right, yep, great book. I'm
glad you read it. I didn't know that you read
it years ago, but I probably should read it again

(38:49):
these days. So if you listen to an audio book,
someone could say, oh, you're putting the book printing people
out of business. Right. You're putting libraries at of business.
You're putting mom and pop bookshops at a business. Any
technology is going to cost somebody else's technology. It's gonna
it's gonna it's gonna hurt somebody else's business. But if

(39:11):
you look at it and go, I can't listen to
an audiobook because the mom and pop bookstore is going
to suffer. Can't You can't. You can't think that way.
You know, have to move forward and any for anybody.
This is for anybody who didn't want to lose the
button on their iPhone. Oh my god, the touchscreen button.
No button company didn't go out of business, No in

(39:31):
this case. In this case, it's gonna be obsolete in
a year or so. Always go with the new, if
you can go with what's new and what's next, because
the technology is never moving backwards, it's always moving forward. No,
but look, I'll never forget the iPhone ten, that the
X that was the first phone in the iPhone world

(39:52):
without a no, without it without a button like a
home button that at some point. Yeah, Apple was always
known for having that head that that press that button
and takes you back home. So many people were against it.
They're like, no, no, no. So iPhone was coming out
with their elevens and twelves and thirteen's, and and I
have a couple of friends who shall remain nameless, who

(40:14):
are like, they went from an iPhone six, but they
went to an iPhone eight because they didn't at that
time when the twelve was out. There's no, no, no, no,
I want the button. I want the button. I'm like, no,
you're an idiot. You know you need to adapt because
this is where it's going. Rip the band date off. Yeah.
I have sometimes stepped down in technology slightly. Know there's

(40:36):
a change. Oh god, don't do it. No, no, no, no,
I haven't stepped backwards, but I've done that, where like
I want the last model before the change. So for instance,
I got my car. It's not a wise idea. At
least was up. What's that? It's not a wise idea,
but okay, Sometimes you want to wait until the like
for instance, the Dodge charges coming out as an electric
vehicle next year. The twenty twenty fives believe, well, late

(41:00):
twenty four, they'll be out. You're it's a common practice,
your knowledge. Rather, you never buy a car in its
first redesign model a year because they haven't gotten the
kinks out, they haven't gotten the mistakes out. Yeah, that's
that's when they go, oh fuck, who the thing falls off?
I see, well yeah, there is that, right, okay, right,
So I don't I don't always jump. So I bought

(41:21):
my car when the lease ended, so I can still
drive a gas car until such time as the electric
chargers are perfected and smoothed out, and then I'll make
the jump. I wait. It was like the SD cards.
Android phones used to have SD cards. You could put
extra memory and increase your memory by increasing the SD cards,
which was great. I waited until they came out with

(41:42):
phones with so much friggin memory built in. I had
a terror byte now on my phone. Now I don't
eat an SD card, But like iPhones, you buy a
sixty four gig one hundred and twenty a gig you fucked.
On Samsung, you could put in a five hundred and
twelve terror byte SD card and increase the memory anytime
you want it. Then when the card filled up, you
take it out you pop a new caught in. All right,
Well they got rid of that. So I had to

(42:03):
wait because I didn't like the phone that didn't have
the SD card because I didn't have enough memory. I waited
a couple of models, and now you can get a
phone with a terrabyte up memory. Now I don't have
to worry about it. Now it's like I got as
much memory as I want ok wait as this d
card as this DCRD nice with Skarri and Rody. Hey.
I liked Slice time this week very entertaining too, but really, really, people,

(42:27):
can we cut back? You're missing out if you're not No,
but though first no, oh yeah, that's point number one.
You're missing out if you're not if you're not listening
to it. Tim, they have me rolling love you, Tim,
you got you gotta check it out. Uh, but but
my point until here's a crap sandwich, here's the ship
in the middle. Please can we stop leaving three, four,
five in a row. I understand you can't get it

(42:49):
all out in one, but we're getting at two or
three as far who I know, I think I think one,
maybe two, two, but I think beyond that it's just cumbersome.
I you know, I don't know. I don't know. It's
hard for me to you know, who am I. We're here,
We're here doing this for like sixty seventy minutes an episode,

(43:11):
and then we're trying to tell people to squeeze something
in the thirty seconds. By the way, it's just a lot.
I guess the last one was the last. The last
one was close to an Amberson. Well, we want to
get as many voices on as possible. We want to
get everybody on there. Find the multiple I don't mind
the multiple messages. What you don't need to do is, uh,
this is Mike from Adams Abada again, addis Ababa uh

(43:34):
calling again? You just go Mike, just you can just continue.
You don't have to do the whole long intro again.
Hey this is Pete you know from Yeah, because they
come in constant, they come in a row, they come
in a row, right, yeah, but yeah, anyway, well otherwise
it's it's this week was very funny, very funny, and
we had it. We had a new character call. We
had eight was Angel from from California. Yeah from the

(43:57):
Angel Angel from California. Who knows San Diego. He was
from somewhere southern California. Yep, follow along, Yeah, yes, go ahead,
No hit me with something, hit you, yeah, me with something? Yeah,
my stuff's more about now. It could wait. It could
wait because I'm going in Amsterdam next month. No, no,

(44:17):
well I'd rather do it closer to my vacation. I
told you I got into the an frankaust A right update. No,
you didn't oh are you bringing Wait a minute, are
you doing the regrand opening of the An frank Hous
You can bring in red scissors. I know a guy.
I don't know how, but okay, all these years of
in Amsterdam, the and Frank House, Yeah yeah, I'm going

(44:38):
to Amsterdam at the end of the month and then
Frank House is one of those things that I really
really I feel like I can't go there and not
go to the Ant Frank House. But it's sold out.
You're a guy who explores cities, it's sold out through July.
Can't get in. It's one of the hot it's the
hottest thing in town. Everybody's talking about it. So unfortunately
we got shut what's the guy's name from from SNL

(44:59):
that that Stephan Bill Hayda, Stephan ste Fun. Oh. The
n Frank House. It's got everything. It's got it's got staircases,
it's got it's got hidden passageways, it's got holes and walls.
It's the hottest club in the city. It's the Ann
Frank House, the hottest club in Amsterdam is it's got,
it's got pictures of Nazis, you names, it's so so

(45:23):
you know, all these years of doing the morning show.
One of the behind the scenes thing that a lot
of slices don't realize is our show, our station Z
one hundred New York happens to be world renowned. I
don't know how it became this way, but everyone in

(45:43):
the world, a lot of radio stations and morning shows
in the world they look up to Z one hundred
and our morning show. We are the I guess, the
gold standard for so many people around the world. So
a lot of times we go places or if we
visit these city and we run into radio people like

(46:03):
they'll know who I am, which is crazy. Or they'll
come on their vacations to New York, the first thing
they want to do is they want to come up
and visit. iHeart and we've given how many tours would
you say, Brody over the years of for thousands, like
you know, the Paris Morning Show, here, the Capitol Radio,
the BBC. I got invited to go. In fact, I

(46:24):
got invited years ago to speak at a radio conference
in Amsterdam, yep, the Virgin RADI didn't know that ZE
one hundred knowledge right, you know from a producer from
all over from Australia and New Zealand, you had a
visitor yesterday or the day before. Who's who I know
is a friend of mine? Pretty pretty, pretty, yeah, pretty.
She does radio in Dubai and she does this is

(46:45):
her week's vacation. And she's from Queen's. She moved there
sixteen years ago to do radio because she wanted to
be like Danielle from our Big show. Yeah I'm a
she wanted to be and she said, I don't care.
And she took a job reading news in Dubai for
sixteen sixteen years ago, and she's now the co host
on the Virgin Radio's morning show, the Chris Fade, The
Chris Fade Show. So Chris also not from Dubai. No,

(47:09):
see me a little story you're not aware of. After
you tell me about her, keep going, well, No, I'm
moving on to the reason. I'm getting closer to why
what I was talking about of my aunt Frank hookup.
So all these years I'm talking about pretty later, So
all of these years of doing radio tours, when these
people came to town, people that knew us and loved us.
You know, we were like these little celebrities in their circles,

(47:31):
and unbeknownst to us, has paid off a couple of
I think it was last year, a gentleman named Nils
and I e l s or Niles. I don't know
how I came to visit the studios. I gave him
a tour. We gave him a tour. He hung out
with us and he was on holiday from his morning show,
and we were talking, just shooting the shit. And he

(47:55):
follows me on social media and he also listens to
the show on you know, on a delay. Of course,
he heard me on the radio begging to get into
the Anne Frank House. He's a couple of days behind,
so he slid into my d MS and he goes,
you are looking for a guy. I'm a couple of
days behind. Scary, but I got you. Bro. Nils talk

(48:20):
to somebody one of his guys local boots on the
ground in Amsterdam. Oh, don't say, don't stay boots. It's
not what boots on the ground. Yeah, the you know,
the Goose Steppers had the boots that. I don't know what.
I didn't know that to be a bad thing. Okay,
what we can't we're canceling another word. No, I'm not
Indian style Chris cross Apples, what are you doing? He

(48:41):
was thinking of the Nazis, were of those those famous
black boots. That was not I was I was not
even okay, wasn't even have you been to Boots in England? Brodie,
Your mind works in weird ways, man, I wasn't even
going there, dude. It wasn't even a joke. That's a
great pharmacy that has food and and and boots. That's
Boots the Chemist anyway. So so he's like, dude, I
know someone, and he knew people on the inside, and

(49:05):
he's like, I got I got five tickets for you
set up. He goes, You're gonna meet me, We're gonna
hang out, We're gonna beat you over there, says you
got backstage passes. They got us a tour of I
don't know what they got us, but apparently they they've
been informed that me and my five u Jamochis from
Brooklyn are coming to visit. Oh. I mean, I'm paying retail.

(49:27):
Hasn't that house been through enough? All I want is access.
I don't want a discount. I want I want them.
You know what I'm saying. I will pay retail. I
don't want a discount. I feel we were taking free
shit these days. I want you to shoot me an
email the minute you walk out of the house with
your thoughts. Okay, I mean it's gonna be whether all
this trouble was worth it for you, because because again
it was important to me to go. I'm curious as

(49:49):
to how I think everyone should see it. It's gonna agree.
It's heavy. I know you you don't, especially, no, but
it's also important for the whole world to see because
you know, people don't want to repeat history, right, You
don't want to see shit going on, so you want
to see how it was. That's also why I don't
like when things are edited or or torn down and bullshit.

(50:10):
I want to see. I want I want everything to
to be and and look at things as an example
of how not to do things going forward to you know,
I mean whatever. The house has been altered a little
bit for the you know, to make a museum out
of course, you know, but it's it's still over And
I got to tell you. The staircases are like eighteen
hundred staircases. They're narrow, right, They're narrow, and they're very

(50:35):
what's the world I'm looking for? They're very the angle
is bad. They're very almost like straight up. Yeah, well
it's pep flimbing a ladder. People were smaller than and
not you. David Brody, referring to the house in the
eighteen hundreds, I said, as you said, the eighteen hundreds,
because it's from the houses was built. Then. I don't
know when the house was built. I don't remember. It
was famous from the nineteen four it even before that,

(50:57):
maybe seventeen hundreds when it was built. Don't think of it.
But yeah, so so there you go. So yeah, so yeah,
I got a guy, it worked, got a guy, get
a hook up. Yeah, what about you? What say you there,
David Brody as your microphone cut out, As the microphone
cut out, No, no, I want to. I want to.
I'm looking up when when the house was built? No,
but you want to. You wanted to add something about
pretea pretty pretty pretty deep, pretty deep. So I don't

(51:24):
know anyone remembers. David knows. She came to visit the
Morning Show yesterday. But when there was an opening on
our Morning Show that Gandhi ultimately filled, did she mention
that she applied? No, she was she we gotta we
got a demo. Her demo submitted for the and uh,

(51:46):
she was very good. But we obviously Elvia selected Gandhi
and made a wise choice. But she was someone who
passionately wanted to be part of the morning show and
I did ask her, so we we interviewed her on
the fifteen minute Morning Show podcast for Tuesday, April tenth,
Is that right? And she didn't say anything day Wednesday,
April tenth, and she I asked her the question. I said, hey, No,

(52:09):
she didn't mention that, but I said, hey, look, sixteen
years doing this and now you're you know, you're getting
married or she is married. I don't know if she's
gazed married, she's married. You've built your life there. Your
husband's from not from you know. I think he's from
there as well, right wherever he's from, but not here,
not from Queen's I said, now, what would you change it?
Would would just you know, would you if something came

(52:31):
available in the future, would you want to work in
the United States or anywhere or anywhere close to home?
And she gave me a hard no. She's like, no,
she's I'm really happy I built my life. I wish
we could talk to her, damn it, I should have anyway,
But anyway, yeah, So that's it. So she's super happy there,
kind of cool. I'm impressed that she learned a new culture,

(52:55):
and I mean I think she they broadcast in English. Yeah,
but still to be part of a completely different culture
for where nobody? Would you do that? Would you? Would
you move out of here and go somewhere out of
Brooklyn to New Jersey? Was traumatic? I still haven't recovered.
I can't do it. Oh, I've looked at radio positions
around the country. People have contacted me and said, you know,
there's this great position for you. You'd be perfect for

(53:16):
in Chicago. There's this great position. I don't like, I'm
not doing that, but you would have to start over
knowing nobody. Yeah. Well, there was one position in Washington,
d C. I was interested in. But it was in Washington,
d C. Somebody mentioned it to me and I'm like, oh,
that'd be great because I know Elliott down there. Yeah, well,
I'm not moving to Washington. What do you say to
taking chances? Who sings that? Celine Dion? So yeah, what

(53:40):
do you say, would you take a chance? Listen? The
last chance I talked was quitting my job and working
at Z one hundred for free, and then now look
at you. Now look at me. No not working for
free again? No, look at you? Bypassed the twenty five
years of success. What I'm saying is, look at twenty
four and a half. Look at you? Then? Why where

(54:00):
you are? So? Now? What? So? Now? Now think about it,
Think about just taking a chance and just starting over.
There could be some excitement there. I have, I have
delved into and looked into and I'm considering different industries. Yes,
that's what I've been doing. That's the whole point of
allness was to try something new and take a break.

(54:23):
And I've applied for some TV shows, I've I've I've
I applied for some cable news stuff, you know, different
things different than than radio. And I've been in talks
to UH to help some political things on some UH
social media, a company that that's very interested in working

(54:44):
with me. So yeah, lots of different things other than radio. Okay, Yeah,
it's scary, it's frightening, But you wouldn't physically move to
a place where you don't have your your friend network
and my family and your family mine. I got, I
get a family. Your family left you. I you're your
kids are your kids are out of the car out
of that? How kids are all My kids are all
out of that. Yeah, but you know they come home

(55:05):
at some point. But no, I'm not leaving. First of all,
my wife has a job in Manhattan. You know, I'm
not moving away from her. So that's not gonna happen.
Uh No, there's a plenty, there's plenty of opportunities in
the New York trist Did area. I'm not worried. Would
you be able to convince her to move? Hey, honey,
got this great, great job opportunity in LA let's go.
At one point, at one point, about a year and

(55:27):
a half ago, she said, if you've got a really
good job somewhere, I would move with you. Wow. I
don't know. I don't know that was I don't know
if that was the wine talking. I don't know. We
were out for dinner, so I don't know. I don't know.
The industry that we've chosen, it really isn't what's that.
It's not an easy industry we've chosen. In fact, it's

(55:48):
extremely nomadic. It's we're I mean, we're the anomaly. You know,
most people move around the country, Like look at Elvis's career,
where it's taken him, he's been everywhere he's been at
a radio. Like I give you a funny story I
popped up on my Facebook. Timeline is a company that
makes really nice light up signs that you can customize.

(56:10):
And it's and and the example, it's a DJ name.
And the whole thing was that you could put your
DJ name, have it customized, and like hang it at
your studio in your background and have like you know,
like you say, Scary Jones on it, right right. But
a lot of DJs pulling the curtains back for the
for the audience with slices. A lot of DJs changed

(56:31):
their name every time they move cities. Yeah wow, Like yeah,
you think they still do that. I feel like it
was like that in the nineties, but uh ah, scream.
If you take a look at all the DJs in
New York or any city, pick a city the biggest
DJs you, you will find that there was some other
radio name in another city. Yes, No One on No

(56:52):
One on Z one hundred. I mean everyone uses their
real names, but like, you've always been Scary Jones. But
they're like if if you're like let's say you're like
Mike Knight and you and you go to Oklahoma and
there's another guy on the radio named Eric Knight. They're
gonna tell you to change your radio name. Yeah, you're
now Mike Day. Right, They're like, you can't use that

(57:15):
name here, we have that you change your name. So, like,
why would you buy a DJ sign? You might have
to change your name to another other name, right then
you then the signs useless. That's radio, that's radio. Nah.
But again, everyone at the morning show we worked on
was fortunate. I mean Gandhi. Gandhi worked in Columbus, She
worked in Boston, right, she moved around. Yeah, Josh worked

(57:38):
in Cleveland. But for the most part, everyone on that
show has only worked there. Yea, they haven't moved around
a lot. Crazy, That's awesome. Although Scotty worked in Iowa
for like a week inn he and and yeah, yeah
pretty much. You would you go to La Yes, Would
you go to a smaller market probably not? Probably not.
I would need to go to like Miami, Like if
they gave you your own morning show in I'm not

(58:01):
gonna pick out a city the size of Milwaukee, no
medium sized city. You couldn't do it. I don't think
I could. Now this defense the Milwaukee I'm just spoiled.
So you could go to La Miami, maybe Philly. Yeah,
that's done a lot of other options for you. No,
not too many. Hey, it's Scary Jones from Brooklyn Rock

(58:24):
and Oklahoma's Finest with me folks the Glen Boys Podcast.
We will be right back. How you feeling, Brodie, I'm
good feel although I was. I had a dilemma and
I wanted I wanted to know how you would have
handled this. Okay. I went to a concert Monday night.

(58:44):
I went to see my two favorite guitar players and
Steve I. Steve I if you're if you're a hard
rock fan from the eighties and nineties. He not only
is a great solo guitarist, he played with David Lee Roth,
he played with White Snake. Joe Satriani is currently in
a band with Sammy Hagar from Van Halen. You're about

(59:06):
to go on tour to do a tribute to Eddie
van Halen. These two of the greatest guitar players of
all time, and they grew up together in Carl Place,
Long Island. Joe was a guitar teacher at eighteen and
Steve I came to his door at fourteen, with a
guitar and said he wanted to take guitar lessons. Do
who imagine your guitar teacher. Now you're two of the
greatest guitar players of all time. That's pretty sure. Satriani

(59:28):
was also Kirk Hammett's guitar teacher. Kirk Hammitt from Metallica. Anyway,
So I go to the concert and I got I'm
a big fan of a dork from these guys. I
love these guys since I'm a teenager long time, and
I want to buy a shirt before the show starts
because sometimes after the show that sold out. So I'm like,
I'm gonna get a shirt, and there's two guys behind
the counter selling shirts. Guy on the left looks like he's,

(59:50):
I don't know, in his forties, long hair, tattoos all
over his arm, typical rock guy. Nothing wrong with him.
The other guy selling shirts behind the counter, know he's
got the boxes of shirts, the shirt shirt post a
shirt shirt. You know, nobody's talking to them. It's just
buying shirt leaving, buying shirt leaving. This guy's like six
foot two, looks like he's in his late twenties early thirties.

(01:00:11):
Good looking kid, but he looks just like Steve I,
the guy I'm going to see in concert. So I'm like,
I think that's Steve I's son. Steve's son. His name
is fire right, he's a cool name a rock stark
and name is kid Fire. And he was trying to
buy merch. No, he was selling it. He was behind

(01:00:32):
You wouldn't think. You wouldn't think that Steve I would
put his son to work. Well, here's the thing. He's
part of the road crew. So like the roadies before
the show, they sell shirts as part of their job.
But his son is one of the guys. So I'm looking.
I'm going, it's really a shit. That's Steve. So I'm
gonna go buy a shirt. So I go up to
the line with Steve's son because I want to talk

(01:00:55):
to him. So I go up and there's no one
on that line. All the guys are at the tattooed
guys line, and and and I guess he was talking
to the line backed up. So I walk right up
to the line and the second in line, I get
up there and I go, he goes, what do you want?
I go, I was going to get the green Tor shirt.
He goes, Okay, I said, uh, fire right. He goes, yeah,
you caught me. Yep, you found me. They said, dude,
that's awesome. You look just like your dad. He's out

(01:01:18):
there and nobody he looked like. His father is also
like six ' five, Like, he looks just like his father.
Look like, how is nobody likes whatever? And now look,
if people met my kids, they'd be like, oh, dad,
your dad's really cool whatever. No, they wouldn't. They wouldn't
think so people would say that to my kids. Right, So, like,

(01:01:39):
this guy's not famous other than his father's famous, but
I'm excited to talk to him because it's Steve I's son.
So I said, hey, listen, I just want you to
know because I don't have I don't work in radio anymore,
so I don't have connections with the label. I can't
go backstage anymore. I'm like, I just want you to know.
I'm been a fan of your father's since I'm eighteen
years old, and I used to work in radio, and

(01:02:00):
I've met almost every rock star on the planet that
I've ever wanted to meet. Jimmy Page from led Zeppelin,
kiss you know, ac DC, I've met everybody I've wanted
to meet your father is one of the only people
I have never met in my life, and I hope
I get to meet him after the show. And then
he told you what the price was and told you

(01:02:20):
to move along. You called it up line. No no no, no, no,
no no. So he says to me, listen, after the show,
they come out by the tour bus and my father
will stop and take pictures and meet people. Get out.
You should wait after the show, he goes, But I'm
not telling anybody else that I'm telling you. I go, hey,
that's really cool, thank you. So he gives he gives

(01:02:42):
me the shirt. I give him my credit card for
the forty bucks for a T shirt. But I'm like,
you know what, I'm splurging. I don't go out a lot.
I'm gonna buy the T shirt for forty bucks. He
turns the digital screen around for the tip. Ah, I
love it. There it is. Every time you see a

(01:03:04):
fucking tablet, you know you're gonna get fucking pressured into
a tip. And he doesn't have to be food or drink.
It's merch. So what does David Brody do in this case?
It's my dilemma Normally, Now I just sent you a
video right of the guy with the machine, and it
keeps asking for tips. Normally I'd be like, I'm not
gonna give a fucking tip. The guy handed me a
T shirt, Dude, I gotta guess why, hold on, hold on?

(01:03:25):
He handed me a T shirt. His father's name is
on the shirt. He's getting paid, and he's rich. His
father's a multi multi millionaire, and he's selling shirts with
his last name on it. I gotta tip him, However, scary,
what's my dilemma. The dilemma is he gave you a tip,
the hottest tip you could that you get get probably

(01:03:46):
gonna meet his dad at the end of the show
and take pictures with him and fulfill your lifelong dream.
So with that said, you gotta leave him ten dollars,
round it off to fifty, call it a day. So
I gave come, correct, David Brody, I gave him. I
gave give him a fifteen percent tip, which was which
was six bucks. Okay, that's just like admirable, respectable. Yes,

(01:04:07):
So I was like I would have given him. In
my mind, I'm thinking, this is the last guy I
would give a tip to, like, right, because because he
checks all the boxes of why you wouldn't tip the
person right, right? But he did what he wanted to do.
You took a shirt, he took a shirt out of
a box. He handed me the shirt, right, and and
they wanted a tip for that. Okay, so here's here.

(01:04:28):
So so I'm like, how do I not give the
guy a tip? In my mind is racing scary. I'm
hearing the curb your enthusiasm music. I'm like, how do
I make hold on? Let me help you with that guy.
This fucking guy wants to meet my father. He was
in radio, and he's not gonna give a tip. What
kind of fan? If he's a real fan, I'll give
a tip this chief. Fuck I'm gonna tell my father

(01:04:49):
not to take a picture of it. Fuck him. I
like how I gave him a tip? Of course you did.
I like I like how you're you're you're in his mind.
You're you're in his brain, in his mind thinking I
gotta give him. I don't give him a tip on.
I like how the Larry David music is playing in
his brain to you? Yeah for a change. Okay, So
here's what happens after the show. I see him on stage,

(01:05:09):
he's helping, like move the equipment off the stage. He's working. Okay,
the show ends. Where was this vent? What venue was
this count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey. Oh,
that's only a few thousand people. Yeah, that's great. So
I go, I go outside. There's a tour bus right
in front. Everybody leaves, everybody goes home. It's like at
this point the show ended, like ten fifteen, and that's

(01:05:30):
when Brody goes into stalker mode. Yeah right now. Now
I'm I'm regular Joe fan, creeping radio guy anymore that
guy with passes. I'm just guy wanting to meet a celebrity.
So I sit on the ledge and I'm there's a
guy next to me, and there's there's a young a
young couple that looked like that I don't know, they

(01:05:50):
were like teen agers, waiting to meet him. And it's
like five of us, and there's a tour bus and
we're waiting like forty minutes, and all of a sudden,
Steve Weiss kids Fire comes out of the front of
the club, front out of the theater, pushing a big
heavy thing of equipment on wheels with another guy. And

(01:06:15):
he goes by and I go, hey, hey, Fire, and
he sees me and he goes, hey, they come out
from the side, not from here. My father's inside this
box Taylors swift swift style. She does that right, So
he whispers to me and nobody else heard it. So
I go around the corner and there's ten people waiting

(01:06:37):
to meet to meet the guys after the show. There's
a back entry side entrance. You didn't tell the people
you were with waiting. You're like these people but to me,
whispered to me people that were also raided. Way you
figured it out. Like five minutes later, they followed me
because they saw I was talking to Steve and I
went anyway. So I ended up going back to the
side and I was like tenth and then I was like,

(01:06:59):
so there was a barricade and behind the barricade was
the bus in the back station. Sure are you? So
I am behind this woman who's leaning against the barricade,
and I'm standing there for a while, and you know,
I have a bad back. I can't stand for a
long time. I say to the woman, do you mind
if I lean against the barricade. I'll give you a
spot back, I promise, But I just would I'd like

(01:07:19):
to be able to lean just yeah, no problem, lean back,
so lean back. I go to the I go, I'm now,
I'm on the barricade. I'm front row, baby barricade, front row.
Nice whole position. Yep. We wait another hour. Oh to
that point the woman whose spot I took says, I
can't wait, I gotta go, and she and her boyfriend leave.
Now I got front position on the barricade. Steve I

(01:07:42):
comes out. Finally the whole position, David Brody front and center,
right there. Can't miss him, the whack job standing there
behind the gate, saying, this guy is a fucking screwball
hanging out for two hours after my fucking show. My
gig is done. What the fuck does this troll want?
Right now, before Steve comes out, I left something out.
The sun comes out again. Yeah, the fire not not

(01:08:02):
the son from the eclipse. The fire fire comes out.
He sees me and he gives me au. He gives
me a finger point and goes back inside, like I
see you man. Yep, good job. Ten minutes later, the
father comes out, comes right to me, who comes right
to me nice and says, hey, man, thanks for coming
out tonight. He goes Steve, I love you, and all

(01:08:22):
of a sudden, I'm like Joe Fan again like I
was with sent you, would you give me the old
weird al? Yeah, I just said, hey, can we get
a picture? He goes absolutely, So I got the picture.
Now he's on one side, the barricade on the other.
But still I got a picture. Steve. I got to
meet him so much. The tip paid off, baby, Yes
it did. Yes, And here I was thinking, you can't

(01:08:43):
tip the rich kid's son, Like, what are you doing
in this case? You do in every other scenario. When
they swivel that fucking iPad around, I know what's coming.
I go, fuck yourself. I want I want to buy
some til and all at the airport. I got a
fucking tip on that ship. You go to news for
the tip. He did say thank you very much for
the tip. Okay, he listened. He's a very well mannered,

(01:09:05):
well spoken, polite kid. You know, no no qualms about it.
I told you I would have given him the thing
went around if I had been but the other guy
with the long handed heavy metal guy, I hate that.
No way, uh, no way. The dude the iPad swivel,
When they swivel it around, I'm like you know it's coming. Yeah,
But the worst is when you go to these fucking stores,
these no again Airport Hudson News. You're the fucking worst.

(01:09:27):
Because I'm buying Doritos, I'm buying a bottled water. I
I went to the thing, I picked it up, and
now I'm carrying the ship out and you have the
balls to approach me for a tip. Go fuck yourself.
I'm with you on that one, David Brody, because you
didn't prepare anything. Never tip the shirt guy normal No Zero.
And this happened at the Justin Timberlay concert. I bought

(01:09:47):
that justin Timberlay hoodie, which, by the way, nice, by
the way, it doesn't fit, is now for sale. It
was a one night only show at Irving Plaza and
there it was the fucking they do the swivel and
the tip. It's it's it's a money grab. Brody. You're
doing this on purpose knowing that some people, well you're
just gonna run. No, they're gonna run up the score
and make extra money because they play on people's guilt

(01:10:11):
or they like are people's not knowing what to do
in that situation. Most people, even if they make even
if twenty percent of the people tip. Look at all
the profits they're gonna make off of that extra, So
they have fucked up, fucked up the machine. The tip
machine is used like ten percent fifty. Then as a
button says custom tip. I want a button that says,

(01:10:32):
smallest fucking tip you can give that looks like you
gave a tip. That's what I want the button to say.
Some of them give like a ten cent tip. Oh yeah,
some of them are programming. Work hard, you deserve a tip.
But if you turn around grabbing your dad's shirt and
hand it to me, come on that right, We're not
talking about let's be clear, we're not talking about you
preparing anything, no food, no drink. You're it's literally you're
at a fucking pharmacy, a grocery store or whatever from

(01:10:54):
my house to fix something. Even if you're the fucking
phone company. I'm gonna tip you your PC ANDNG. I'm
gonna tip you because you did a service in my house.
That's fine. I can't, but don't hand me a shirt.
Don't do that. No, and you knowize if I would
have given him twenty percent, that's eight bucks to turn
around hand meer's shirt. Right. But in this case because
he gave you that pro tip about his dad. I

(01:11:14):
would have left to meet his father. I would have left.
I would have left him ten dollars in that one scenario.
I'm like, you know what, make it fifty. You're fucking cool.
Thank you kid. Yeah, well, but that's it. But that's
the only reason, and it's it's an isolated case. Never again,
no way. But next episode, I'm gonna tll you about
the giant man I sat next to during the show.

(01:11:36):
The Giant Man, Big Man, Big Man, Rowdy Boys, Boys
