We're back with episode 52! Joe's in a bad mood because of the chlorine shortage and a supposed shortage of aerosol hairspray(?), Anthony can't understand why Joe hates Friends and doesn't care about the reunion special. Joe wants to do good deeds in the "twilight" of his life but he's in a mood so he's mad that Louie didn't call him when his AC went out. Joe wants to do a "ask Joe" segment where listeners reah out to Joe for help. We all are ready to get out of the basement so we talk about our plans to go Atlantic City this summer!

Joe's in a Mood, Who Cares About Friends, Favors and AC Casinos

Back at it! We had to figure out what epsiode this was because of a couple of "questionable" episodes. Anthony turned 25 and Joe's grandson turned 2, which wandered us over into Nick the Balloonatic and the potential for him to make balloons at Anthony's father's 60th birthday. We discuss Radio.com becoming Audacy. Loyal fan Dmitry sent in a comment that got Anthony going off on Richie Aprile of the Sopranos! That led us into Richie's first movie wich Anthony & Louie never heard of, which brought us to hot boxes, old video tapes and strange video stores on 18th avenue!

We got a special edition of the podcast for you today! Intern Anthony is on vacation, lounging in the Florida sun, but Joe Causi had the chance to chat with an up and coming superstar, comedian Eric D'Alessandro of Staten Island! 

They literally ran into each other at a local Shop Rite last week, and here they are chatting on the podcast days later! 

If you are not familiar with Eric, his video “Mask Off Remix (Walmart Diss)” has gone viral, gaining over 16 million views across all his platforms!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciYFgVpya5k&feature=emb_logo 

Due to the success of this video, Forbes featured Eric in an article about his comedy and ability to connect with fans online as well as on stage! 

Eric talked to Joe about growing up on the island and how he developed his comedy. 

"I didn't grow up as a typical Staten Islander" he says, "i lived in the Westerleigh section of the Island which was more diverse, my mom, dad and sister didn't act like everyone else."

When it comes to his comedy, Eric says it's all organic. "My friends growing up were funnier than me" he says. "I took my daily observations and turned them into something relatable and funny!" 

Joe has high praise for Eric, who was taken aback when Joe compared him to the great Robin Wiliiams! 

Eric is playing 5 in-person shows this weekend! Check him out at the Avenel Performing Arts Center in New Jersey, two Shows each on Friday, March 5th and Saturday March 6th at 7 & 9:30pm and Sunday March 7th at 7pm!

Comedian Eric D'Alessandro on his Staten Island roots, Viral Success

Episode 49! We're sick of all this snow! We talk about something special we should do for our 50th episode. We talk Valentine's Day, plans for a vaccine & getting back to normal.

Somehow Joe brings the conversation to Don Ho and Wayne Newton, and Anthony's never heard of either. When he googles a picture of Wayne, chaos ensues!

2021: New Year, New Jokes, New Podcast

Episode 47 is a combination of our Christmas podcast and our year end spectacular! 

Anthony bought a very expensive bottle of Tesla Tequila, while Joe got another video game system! 

We talk about Christmas, what we are doing this year and how it may be a little different, the Dyker Heights Christmas lights, Dominick the Donkey being voted the most hated Christmas song, and of course we can't let the season go by without our annual airing of the classic "Christmas in Joe Causi's Basement!" The spoken word poem anyone from the neighborhood can relate to! 

We end with a message from the famous Santa Causi! 

Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! We will see you in 2021 with all new episodes of the Brooklyn's Own Podcast!

What are some old school sayings you still use that sound a little dated? We go down our list!

We talk Thanksgiving planning (are you limiting the number of people at your house this year?) and we find out Joe hates hoarding plastic tupperware! 

Joe's going for the "southern Italian" look with a stubbly beard, and it sparked memories of his 70's "Swedish erotica" look! 

We don't have any sponsors, so we show you what a live read would sound like if, say, a company like Homegoods wanted to jump on! 

We talk about the late great Jackie Gleason and so much more!
