Three, twenty five of The Brooklyn Boys podcast. Three in a quarter Yeah pretty much? Three three in a quarter? Yeah yeah, quarter quarter?

He love it.

He love it.

You know it's crazy. I was just having a conversation with someone and they said that their kid doesn't understand what when we tell time, we say, you know, it's what time is it? It's a quarter after four or a quarter to three, Like they don't know. They think it's stupid and they don't understand where it comes from. Like what does a quarter after three really mean? I'm like, uh, well they're three fifteen, duh what does that mean? Or or quarter to three is two forty five? Right? We grew up with that.

Well.

Well.

I saw a TikTok video and it looked real where the guy was saying, it doesn't make any sense because a quarter is twenty five cents. So why are we saying fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour? I mean, you gotta be some kind of brain damage sixty minutes understand that, right? Fifteen minutes is a quarter a quarter of an hour. The word quarter only means twenty five in terms of one hundred and a dollar. But I can't believe we're saying it. I'm about to say it. Oh my god, kids these days, Yeah, the earth is round.

Hey.

Hey.

By the way, speaking of quarters, you saw that the President said that he ordered the Treasury not to print pennies anymore. Yeah, because it costs two and a half cents to make a penny. Okay, so here's here are my thoughts. I already know where your thoughts are going. I have always been someone who watched the dots in our neighborhood throw pennies, leave them instead of taking their change, Ignore them. They're not right. And I was always someone that picked them up or took them off the counter, because when I needed pennies, I was like, oh, rather than get changed back, I'm like, I have the three cents in my pocket, and it eliminated the need for getting more change. So I always like to have some pennies at the time when I pay cash. Now you have to pay cash because everybody charges your fourth percent use your credit card to get a freaking slice of pizza. So I keep the pennies around. But here's the thing if you go into a restaurant scary yep, and you owe two cents? I know, is it the restaurant's job or the business's job to waive the two cents because you may not have any pennies, in which case you're benefiting two cents. And in which case, if you had two pennies in your pocket, would you just leave them in your pocket and just say, oh, I don't have any pennies. And is it if it's three cents, are you obligated to pay five cents? I don't know where this would go. But if the penny, I mean, it stops getting minted and well, let's say, just goes out of style. Let's say, because obviously even though it's gonna be pennies for another couple of years, but right, I get it. Yeah, no, of course, But if the penny goes away eventually, I would think that the rule of thumb would be that if it's two cents, and if it's one or two cents, yeah, they round down if it costs out the money, if it's three or four, advantage pay the five. We gotta pay the five. And I feel like it will even itself out because it's you know, two and three cents go to them and four and five go to us, or you know, vice versa, vice versa whatever. You know what I'm saying, same I'm saying. So I feel like it's even split, and over time it'll leaven itself out. I would need to believe that. I can't imagine that if something costs two dollars and one cent that you'd have to pay the nickel and not get any change. I also think it's offensive to Abraham Lincoln, considered one of our greatest presidents, that his coin is the one that's going to be dropped. Well, he's already on another currency, isn't he. Are you not aware? He's on the five dollar bill, So he's got another that he's he's free, by the way, which, by the way, is a little mind blown moment for some some people. George Washington was the first president. He's on the one dollar bill. Lincoln was not the fifth president. He was the sixteenth, but a lot of people think he was the fifth. That's why he's on the five dollar bill. Who believed? Who hold on? Who believes that? I've worked with people in my life who think Abraham Lincoln was the fifth president because he's on the five. Wow, ponderous almost would make Grant, which would make Grant the fiftieth president because he's on the fifty. But those are the same people that are telling you that they think a quarter to three is stupid and that means twenty five by the way, scary without pennies. Obviously, we'll be using more nickels. Correct, Yes, do you know how much it costs to print a nickel to mint one nickel? Don't tell me more than a nickel thirteen point eight cents? Oh shit, So we're actually gonna lose money by using more nickels and having to make more nickels. So can we continue on that scale? But he thought this out? How much? What about a dime? How much is it made to make a dime? I'm smaller, I'll tell you right now. Hold on, how much does it cost to mint the dime? Hello? Not a dime?

Bag?

Uh? Five point seven six cents? There you go. So the dime is is a pro is fantastic saving money there, print one for five point right, But a nickel nichol is going to kill our economy because we did not think the penny thing through. You will have to change the phrase a nickel for your thoughts. That's right. Yeah, you rub two pennies together like there's a lot, you know, there's a lot of that. Ah. So yeah, that's that's the controversy this week. Who's going to pay the two to three to four and five. I was driving home and I was on the phone with Jetski Bryan, and you know, he's watching you know, his uncle's house and all, and he goes, like from outside with binoculars.

I mean, the guy owns a jet ski company. Yeah yeah, he chooses chooses to say he's got the eternal tan too. He's completely like dark and all the time, all year round. And so I'm on the phone with him and he goes, he opens the door. He goes, Yo, Brody, Brody, get back here. What's what he goes? I said, who's Brody? What is that? He goes, Oh, it's my uncle's dog. His dogs are Brody and Brandy. I said, wait a second. Your uncle names his dog Brody. Yeah b r O d Y, So Brody. I'm happy to announce that your name is also the favorite name for people's dogs.

I was.

I went to visit my cousins who live in Manhattan, and I'm gonna tell a story later about how how hard it was to get a parking spot and what happened. But getting on the in Manhattan on They live on the Upper West Side, So if you're familiar with Manhattan at all, it's an affluent area. But everyone has a dog. Everyone on the Upper east Side west Side all have dogs. Yeah, so there's like dog dog dog dog dog dog dog dog. Don't you walk one block you pass five people walking dogs. So I'm waiting for the elevator and this woman has a dog, and this guy joins us to wait for the elevator. He says, oh, cute dog. What's the dog's name? She said brother? Brother. The dog's name is brother. So I don't know this woman. I'm not gonna say anything. He says, that's an interesting name. He says, yeah, Well I had a female dog and her name was sister. So he says, oh, were they brother and sister? She says no. Oh come on, now, who names a dog brother? What kind of name is brother? That's not a dog's name. Come me a brother? What slices? Drop us a talk back? Weird names for dogs that you have in your life, Like, like, if this was weird, it's got to be even weird. It's got the bizarre. That's bizarre. Like I understand as certain people call each other, what's up, brother? You know, right? But to call your dog brother, yeah, I don't. It was this and like the other dog's name was sister, but they weren't related. Well see, I would assume that they would be brother and sister. They would That would that would make even then it's dumb, but at least it would make more sense, right, head, listen and slices. If you have a dog named brother, let us know. And I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend, but it seems like an odd name, like a brother is like a priest, right, yeah, Like you know, you see your friend on the street, what's up, brother, right? Or your actual brother? Why would you name your dog brother. He's not your brother, he's not the other dog's brother, the other you know, it's funny. I was at the station today and Scotty B from The Big Show brought his uh brought his dog Sawyer to work and he said yeah, because I said, why why did you bring Sawyer in? He said, he goes, Oh, I gotta go drop him off because you know, I'm going away. You know, he's going on a Norwegian cruise line, a new Norwegian cruise this weekend. And he said, yeah, he's gonna stay. He's the dog, Sawyer is gonna stay with his brother. So he said, wait what he goes, yeah, yeah, he hasn't seen him in like nine years. Apparently Sawyer and another dog were from the same litter and Sawyers about to be really reunited with his brother.

Apparently Sawyer and another dog were from the same litter and Sawyers about to be really reunited with his brother.

Now.

Now.

I found it weird that Scotty was talking about his dog, like, oh, he's gonna go visit his brother. Like what you're like I'm going to, like, I go visit my brother. Right, So my question is, and again I'm not a dog owner, but does does a dog know or remember that that's his brother when he when he's around him, like when he meets his dog, when his brother this dog brother for the first time in nine years. Are they gonna be like oh over each other like that? Like or is so Scoty's like I guess, like, like, are they gonna go nuts? Are they gonna jump all over each other and hump each other? I mean that was gonna happen. Is Sawyer's brother's name brother? I think no, it's not. No, I know, but but I'm just curious as yes, I would have remember even remember the I don't think he knows like, oh, I was in we were in the same dog Vagina together. I think he knows, like, oh, this is a familiar scent. If the dog is you know, has its scent on him, and if he's especially groomed, you might not. I wonder if dog or Scouy's like, yeah, he probably doesn't even know. So he's gonna get there and he's gonna be hanging out with a dog. Scotty stay friends with the breeder or like did a friend of his adopted brother. It was an adoption. I think it was years ago. I don't even know. I don't know the full stories ago. You don't ask enough questions. The boy did a podcast some information. No, he got the dog from some woman, and the woman who he knew, has he hasn't seen him. Well, well, the dog hasn't seen the other dog. She goes, Oh, i'll dog sit for you. They'll be reunited. It'll be great. They're brothers. I don't know. I'm just I don't I don't know if dogs will remember the their siblings, dogs will remember you. Come on the slean They in nine years anyway, it's been nine years since they sniffed their butts. I got a song. Wow, you are in fuego today, Brody, this has got to be an in fuego song.

Colloquially when we said you know what I mean, it's like, hey, and it's like, yeah, I know what you mean. Stop saying you know what I mean, because you don't. You don't. But even if you take you know what I mean and you and you slur it into you know what I mean? Yeah, Like if you like you leave off to you and you're like, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Over the weekend, I went to Universal Orlando and with the more I avoided your social media. I know, man, one of my favorite places. I haven't been there in years. And Harry Potter raw roller coaster they yep, I did that. There was there's a brand new coaster there. Well, not brand new, it's from twenty twenty one. It's called the Veloca Coaster. Dude, yeah, I'm not doing that. Probably one of the greatest rides I've been on ever, really best ride in the park. It's a thrill ride. It goes upside down, it does corkscrew, it does cork, it does loops, it does cork cork screw upside downs, and you you've literally come out of your chair airborne maybe five times, where only the bar is holding you back. No, not for you, No fear is holding me back. So instead of saying I'm out on riding that ride it's not my type, I'm just gonna say mount Mount Mount Mount Mount Mount out Mount. Well, I had the best time there. It was such an amazing weekend and I forgot what it was like to be a kid again. And everyone needs to do this, Everyone needs to go back to a place, because it really just took me right back, you know. And I don't know quite how to explain the feeling of going there as a full, full grown adult, just having you don't often do fun things. I don't do that, right, I don't do it. How often do I go? I mean, the last time I went to Disney. It was like freaking two thousand and nine. I haven't been to Disney in years. Yeah, magic cando it. When it comes to crazy roller coasters, here's what I do. I do love coast. I search for the name of the coaster yep, and the word POV high definition. Ooh, this video's out on this stuff. This video of every roller coaster in the world. Anytime you hear a roller coaster, see a roller coaster, well like you wret you're on TikTok or Facebook and you see a roller coaster, just go to the front seat POV video and you can make it feel put on your big screen TV and you can feel like you're on the coaster without the stomach dropping and the nausea and the fear. And this way I could see what it would have been like had I got on that crazy ass roller coaster. So absolutely that one and the and the Haggards something hundred's the minute they open all the roller to dorks get in the front seat and they film it. Yeah, love on YouTube. We watched the video. Okay, I'm gonna do that. Some of them have the whole experience, like if you have to walk through a wit online, google Velosa Coaster Universal Orlando, and google the the one with again the Haggard something ride where one person's on the motorcycle and one person's in the sidecar. That was a great coaster. That was like my runner up. And Hulk, the Incredible Hulk, which is the og that opened in the with the park in like ninety nine. Whenever it opened, that was still a very That was an awesome ride. I mean that that's an amazing, amazing coaster. But uh, those were my top three rides in the park, by the way, in order. But man, have Velocit coaster. I yeah, we went twice in a row, two so I mean Willison, we were from Brooklyn. We've ridden the Cyclone. Would you ride the Cyclone today? By the way, would you do that? I've never been never been on it. What we've covered this already. I've never been on it. You've never been on Wait a second, why don't I know this? I forgot you got There used to be three roller coasters in Corne Allen. Yeah, but of course the Thunderbolt, the Cyclone and the something else with the with weather related yeah, Hurricane no, keep going Twister No, I don't know it was a tornado tornado tornado. Yeah, uh no, I just as a kid, I never went on it, And then as an adult it was always like breaking down or being shut and so. Plus when I was a kid, there was a rumor that a car flew off the track and killed people. I don't know, I never I don't think that's true. But it was for me as a kid, and I never went on it. And it's not like the scariest roller coaster in the world. I've been on bigger wooden roller coasters. I don't know. Maybe one of these days I'll go. Yeah, I just feel like I heard it's very so the Cyclone. If you've never been to Coney Allen, it was. It was built on a very small piece of land. Yeah. So the turns are incredibly tight, and it's an old, like nineteen fifties roller forties roller coaster whenever it was built. So it's crazy. It's creaky and rickety, and it's not comfortable. It's not padded with super nice seats. So from what I understand, you're being thrown into the side of like metal and wood, and it's it's very difficult to ride, and I have a bad back so that's always been like, why I haven't. But it's not like fear of the height of it. It's just it's a terrifying thought, if that makes sense. No, it's frightening. But the POV video is fun, absolutely in POV's point of view video. The viva in POV is not video, So don't don't don't tweet me. Yeah anyway, So why what else is that? What else is news?

I went into the uh the main entrance, which if you go in the main entrance of my Costco, the return desk is like, I don't know, twenty feet to the right. The woman says, you gotta return. You gotta go on the other door. Sorry, no problem, which is basically the eggs. But there's like a little door next to the exit. So I go in and there's a stanchion pole with a sign on it that says refund line begins here. So I stand next to it and two people are walking through the poles and they go, who oh, you're cutting the line. I said, what are you talking about? The sign says refund line begins here, and they point to the other end of the stanchion pole, which is like, you know, squiggly, squiggly, squiggly all the way down the other end, and you know what The sign says on that pole, refund line begins here. The same sign is on the front and the end of the line instead of refund line ends here. They both say refund lists. So how do you know where to stand? So I went for the first one I saw, which was I saw the first one. I was like, oh, stand here, it's right by the registers. There's nobody online. But as I went to the front, there were people doing the snake who had ended the door going the correct way, and they're like, whoa, you cut the line. I'm like, what are you talking about? It says the line begins here. Costco? What the fuck? How do you put a sign on both ends that say line begins here? My god, hey, you're empty nesters. What are you still shopping at Costco for? What do you what do you? What do you buy there? Because at me, as a guy who lives alone, I can't get through anything that you could buy a Costco. Everything is like what I buy. Last time, I bought a three pound bag of frozen shrimp. I like to to frost a few every day and a little bit at a time. Okay, oh I bought. I buy a four or five pound bag of cashoes, so I have them in the cabinet. That's a lot of cashoes. How long?

But am I Am I greedy for even wanting a taste?

Oh?

Oh?

You're asking me so exactly. Know I'm gonna get some sympathy here. Look, if I if I send a guy to a car dealer, my car dealer gives me a kickback. That's it's not like it's just me. It's that if you recommend, if you refer a guy, if I recommend someone to my real estate agent, he gives me a little thank you. My email is flooded with offers from like credit card companies. Hey refer a friend and get X amount of points. And I'm not putting my friends in debt. That's not my that's not well, I'm not Jennifer. I don't recommend. We're all incentivized every day, even as something simple as like Uber. It's like, hey, sign up for every friend you sign up, you get twenty dollars or whatever in your account. So it's like when I when I told Michael Rappaport to sign up for Cameo and I would get a percentage if he might put me down, and then he went and put down what's your face the Real Housewife? Yeah, life is filming. Life is filled with incentives and incentivized incentivization programs. So I'm just wondering if it's something that I can expect. Do I talk about it? Do I not say anything? Do I just ignore it. But he doesn't listening to this podcast. No he does not, So I f him right there. He's not. We're not his number one preset and yeah, hear radio app. I'm just wondering if because honestly, I just did it out the kindness of my own heart, because I want to see my boy, like you know, I want to see two people. You know, he's gonna give him a great deal on a watch buys. If he buys a twenty thousand dollar watch, you gotta figure he's making ten thousand dollar profit on that. I have no idea. You're asking the wrong one. I have no clue. I listen, what's mars? What's a markup on that? A couple of hundred bucks? You know, really, I would be like, hey, you know, send you a gift card or maybe you know, you know, probably do scary It'll offer you a VIP discount on one hundred and ten thousand dollar watch. We can have a you can have one hundred and nine thousand, five hundred and ninety. Of course, Hey, you know what, I appreciate you hooking me up with your friend. There. I'm gonna give you a VIP T. I'm gonna I'm gonna send an email around and get a VIP discount for you. I get the regional watch scalpers in here and and the guys the Canal Street heads of head honchos, and we're gonna get you seventy eight dollars off the fifteen hundred dollars to Yeah, the VIP discount. Great, that's forty bucks off a fifty thousand dollars watch with Scary and Brodie. So I want you to I want have you ever been in a position, Scary where you're on the phone but you're peeing? You have to pee really badly? Oh? Yeah, all the time. And so what I do is I mute the phone while I'm peeing, and then when they ask me a question I have to answer, I stop peeing, I unmute the phone, and I continue the conversation. You've done this, yes, of course. Yeah. Have you ever been on the toilet and a you're doing it number two? And for that twelve seconds where you might make some noise, you mute the phone? Yes? Right, Well, if I if there was some noise being made, yes, you mute, mute or something. Yeah, but what kind of more noise? If you like, if you're on the shitter. Yeah yeah, clip clop, little little little little little PLoP PLoP fish fish. Oh yeah, what a relief it is. So I'm on the phone with a company, and it's the kind of company. We have to verify who you are. So and now, so the guy calls me. He says, we need to verify who you are before we can discuss your whatever that had discussed with me. So I was about I'm like busting the pee. I was about to pee when the phone rang, so I said, alright. He goes, we're going to text you a number. Hold on. So I mute the phone and I pee a little bit. The text comes in and he says, give me the six digit number. So I have the phone on mute, and I say, you know, one two three four five six and I and I mute the phone and I start peeing again. So so he says, sorry, can I get the number? So I so I unmute the phone. I go, yeah, sorry about that. I guess the phone broke up one two three five six. Oh no, I know where this is going. I put the phone back on mute, and I stopped peeing again, and he said, he says, sir, can you can you repeat the number one more time for me? So I unmute the phone. I go, yeah, one, three, five, six?

You're asking me so exactly. Know I'm gonna get some sympathy here. Look, if I if I send a guy to a car dealer, my car dealer gives me a kickback. That's it's not like it's just me. It's that if you recommend, if you refer a guy, if I recommend someone to my real estate agent, he gives me a little thank you. My email is flooded with offers from like credit card companies. Hey refer a friend and get X amount of points. And I'm not putting my friends in debt. That's not my that's not well, I'm not Jennifer. I don't recommend. We're all incentivized every day, even as something simple as like Uber. It's like, hey, sign up for every friend you sign up, you get twenty dollars or whatever in your account. So it's like when I when I told Michael Rappaport to sign up for Cameo and I would get a percentage if he might put me down, and then he went and put down what's your face the Real Housewife? Yeah, life is filming. Life is filled with incentives and incentivized incentivization programs. So I'm just wondering if it's something that I can expect. Do I talk about it? Do I not say anything? Do I just ignore it. But he doesn't listening to this podcast. No he does not, So I f him right there. He's not. We're not his number one preset and yeah, hear radio app. I'm just wondering if because honestly, I just did it out the kindness of my own heart, because I want to see my boy, like you know, I want to see two people. You know, he's gonna give him a great deal on a watch buys. If he buys a twenty thousand dollar watch, you gotta figure he's making ten thousand dollar profit on that. I have no idea. You're asking the wrong one. I have no clue. I listen, what's mars? What's a markup on that? A couple of hundred bucks? You know, really, I would be like, hey, you know, send you a gift card or maybe you know, you know, probably do scary It'll offer you a VIP discount on one hundred and ten thousand dollar watch. We can have a you can have one hundred and nine thousand, five hundred and ninety. Of course, Hey, you know what, I appreciate you hooking me up with your friend. There. I'm gonna give you a VIP T. I'm gonna I'm gonna send an email around and get a VIP discount for you. I get the regional watch scalpers in here and and the guys the Canal Street heads of head honchos, and we're gonna get you seventy eight dollars off the fifteen hundred dollars to Yeah, the VIP discount. Great, that's forty bucks off a fifty thousand dollars watch with Scary and Brodie. So I want you to I want have you ever been in a position, Scary where you're on the phone but you're peeing? You have to pee really badly? Oh? Yeah, all the time. And so what I do is I mute the phone while I'm peeing, and then when they ask me a question I have to answer, I stop peeing, I unmute the phone, and I continue the conversation. You've done this, yes, of course. Yeah. Have you ever been on the toilet and a you're doing it number two? And for that twelve seconds where you might make some noise, you mute the phone? Yes? Right, Well, if I if there was some noise being made, yes, you mute, mute or something. Yeah, but what kind of more noise? If you like, if you're on the shitter. Yeah yeah, clip clop, little little little little little PLoP PLoP fish fish. Oh yeah, what a relief it is. So I'm on the phone with a company, and it's the kind of company. We have to verify who you are. So and now, so the guy calls me. He says, we need to verify who you are before we can discuss your whatever that had discussed with me. So I was about I'm like busting the pee. I was about to pee when the phone rang, so I said, alright. He goes, we're going to text you a number. Hold on. So I mute the phone and I pee a little bit. The text comes in and he says, give me the six digit number. So I have the phone on mute, and I say, you know, one two three four five six and I and I mute the phone and I start peeing again. So so he says, sorry, can I get the number? So I so I unmute the phone. I go, yeah, sorry about that. I guess the phone broke up one two three five six. Oh no, I know where this is going. I put the phone back on mute, and I stopped peeing again, and he said, he says, sir, can you can you repeat the number one more time for me? So I unmute the phone. I go, yeah, one, three, five, six?

Right?

Right?

Sure?

Sure?

How many? How many times I have to say the same six digit number? Is there a problem with the number? Am I giving you the wrong number? What's the problem? And he says, sir, can you just repeat the number again? I said, not until you tell me why you keep asking me to repeat the number? Am I saying the wrong number? You have a digit wrong? I'm looking at the number.

How many? How many times I have to say the same six digit number? Is there a problem with the number? Am I giving you the wrong number? What's the problem? And he says, sir, can you just repeat the number again? I said, not until you tell me why you keep asking me to repeat the number? Am I saying the wrong number? You have a digit wrong? I'm looking at the number.

It wasn't.

It wasn't.

Yeah, I'm like, what is the problem. Yeah, he can't hear you. So then I realize I've been on mute the whole time, Right, You're you're unmuting yourself to take a piss? Am I muting yourself every time you're talking? You did the opposite? No, I didn't do the opposite. I just thought I unmuted, but I didn't. So I was like hitting the button with my left thumb as I'm holding my schwang taking a leak with my right hand. But I wasn't looking. I was just clicking the mute thing. So I never unmuted. So I'm yelling at the guy what's wrong? And I don't understand what. He never hurt me. I was gonna say, all right, no, I never unmuted the last time, because that would have been funny if every you thought you were muting, but you were unmuting and every time you talk, but he keeps me saying, could you repeat that? And then every time that you repeat it, you're actually you're actually pissing. Yeah, So, to be honest with you, I can't verify that he did not hear the ping. I thought I was, you know, mute on mute, mute on mute, but I may have unmute, mute on mute mute because he never heard me say the number. So slices, be careful when you're doing the mute thing. You may be unmuting and muting when you meant the mute mute, I mean mute, right, I followed you. I mean not mean, not mean. So one of one of the women in kind of like a friend my friend, well it's not my friend group. It's a friend of a friend's group, kind of an acquaintance. She did this thing, which you would expect me to do. But I know that I'm not guilty of this. But it's like when you when you post something, but you really don't want to. It's kind of like a humble brag. I guess when you post a picture but you really don't want to show off what you was in the foreground. It's kind of like, I really want to, I really want you to notice that I'm posting this, but notice that. Well you do the thumb, then you do the thought. You point your thumb like well, no, no, no, no, no, you don't, you don't, you can't. You kind of don't even want you want it to be subtle. So humble brag, humble brag. Well this isn't even humble, I think. But okay, so, so and and and ladies, you might do this a lot. You have a post a picture of your manicure. Oh I gotta show my manicure. Yeah, I want to look at it. And you just what do you do, brody? You turn your your hand away from your face and you take a picture of it. Take a picture of the manicure, right, like the little woman would put palm down, Well yeah right, palm away now, pomp right. So women do this all the time. This woman posted her manicure, but what is the backdrop that she decided to use? So conveniently a toilet pole. No, what's in the background the the steering wheel of her Lamborghini. Oh, so, like she was like sitting, she sat in her car. She made it seem like, oh, okay, let me just let me just randomly post this. I'm just you know, not even not even thinking ahead, right, like, oh, I'm in my car, I'll look at my manicure. Hey, I'm gonna post it. He let me put my hand like kind of with the steering wheel next to it, and you got the Lamborghini logo. Oh yeh, she'd give a fuck about about showing off her manicure. She wanted you to notice that she drives a Lambo. Yeah, yeah, that's tacky bullshit. So so it's actually a friend of my boy Falco, and I wanted him to call her out so badly because he screenshot at it and sent it around to the group, and I'm like, I'm like, why don't you like call her out on her shit? You know it would be hilarious. But people do that a lot, right Do you you ever do that? I mean I don't think. I don't think I do it. I don't have I ever done that Where I'm posting like anything that I intend to post is intentional, and whatever happens to be in the background happens to be there. But I don't plant shit for you to like notice while I'm trying to pretend to post something else. You know. I do a friend though, he's really jacked, and he'll post a picture of like a sunset, and he'll be in the picture like like ripped with his shirt off, and and he's talking about the sunset behind him, and he's like, another beautifull another magical night here in southern cal in southern California, and look at this beautiful sunset. And I'm like, you, douchebag, You're completely you're flexing. You want people to notice you, and what great shape you're in. You don't get a fuck about people in the but you're you're talking about the sunset and there's sunset behind you. The fuck. I don't know, you know what I It was a long time ago. I remember as a joke, I took a picture in in the morning show studio and I'm trying to remember what band was in was in studio? Uh, maybe it was, it wasn't in sync. I can't remember what band it was. But I remember taking a picture of my pen with the with the group in the background. It may have been like I don't remember who it was, but I was like, oh look at my look at my picture of my pen. But it was really like to show who was in the studio that so you're guilty of this, Well, I did as a joke and I never posted it because it was a joke and I don't need to at that time. I didn't need to brag. Everyone knew I worked at the rat A station. It wasn't like a Lambeau. But I did it as a joke, like oh look at my pen, when clearly I was showing off. I don't know what band it was. Maybe it was a Simple Plan a Good Charlotte. It was one of those bands in that era. And I remember just like, oh look, I got to look at my pen. But I would never do like, look at my manicure with the Lambeau logo behind that set, the Lambeau, the Lamborghini logo. That's tacky as ship. Yeah, I don't care you have a Lamborghini and if you like less that you're bragging about it, and if you and if you're if you really want to post your manicure. There were a thousand, but then there's a thousand other places you could have done that. Or also, nobody needs to see your manicure. Who cares what color your beds? Oh, don't go there, brody. Some women cauph stop, I don't need to see you went and bought nail polished and someone you don't know put it on your finger. Some women, they pride themselves on their manicures, not as much as their Lambo's. Apparently, yeah, Lamborghini's. I keep saying in Lambeau like Lambeo Field. It's Lambeau, right a Lamborghini's Lamba Lamborghini the yeah short lambo. Yeah all right, So yeah, that's tacky, that's tacky. He speaking of speaking of cars, I mentioned earlier that I went to visit my cousins on the Upper West Side and I went on a side went Super Bowl Sunday. Right, They invited me to a watch party to go, Okay, great, I'll go. I'll go. Absolutely no, not that kind of watch. It was okay, it was a it was a time piece event. So I have to get a spot. Now it's a Sunday, and because New York City has congestion pricing. If you if you anything below sixtieth Street, you got to pay nine dollars. Oh, I know all about it. So luckily they live above sixtieth Street. So I went all the way north to the George Washington Bridge, which is past where they live, to come back south to where they live. So I would have paid a nine dollars there. So clever move, right, clever move? Was it? No traffic on Super Bowl? So I drive around for twenty five minutes looking for a spot, because at this point it's like five o'clock. The game starts at six thirty. I guess everyone who's gonna leave already left. Oh, don't go past sixty first Street. Do not cross that line. You will get I'm not even I'm not close they live. They live many many blocks north of six I said, upper west Side. So I get a spot on the corner of a street about five blocks from their apartment. I'm all excited. I don't see any no parking signs. So I park and there's the snow on the grounds. I have to go up on the snow bank and I'm I'm sliding, I'm I'm screeching, and I'm doing like a half doughnut to get into the spot on the corner. I back into it. So I get out of the car, put my coat on, and I walked I don't know, ten feet and I see a sign, and I noticed the car behind me has a sticker on the door, and the car behind that is a sticker on the door. And there's a sign that says ride share cars only. What's that all about? You know, like zip cars? Yeah, so like in Manhattan you can you can rent a car like it's parked on the street. You use your app and you just get in the car and drive it. Yeah, okay, these spots are only available where I parked for rideshare cars. Oh so I can't park there? Nah, fucked fucking. It's like when you go I've done this, I hide this, complain when you go to the mall. You go to a store, and it's like parking for pregnant women, parking for for drive up customers, a parking for employee of the month. I'm like, stop with the categories. So I can't park this. I gotta get back in my car. I'm driving around another twenty minutes' scary, it's fifty minutes. I Finally, about eight blocks nine blocks away from where my cousins live, I find a spot. But it looks like it's a little bit bigger than my car. And I drive a Dodge Charge, it's a full sized car. And I'm like, it's a spot, and there's snow in the spot. So I'm like, okay, I'm good at this. I can get in this spot. It's just I can see it's just big enough I can fit in it. So as I'm pulling in, pulling into the spot, I back in and I have you know, you have to adjust. You got to back in and then turn the wheel back a little more, turn the wheel back a little more. So this camp comes by and he goes, you got to back in a little more. Yeah, no kidding, man, I'm not done. There's snow here. Oh, just trying to be helpful, all right, that's not helpful. I know I have to back the nose of my cars in the middle of the street. I'm aware. So I'm pulling in, and you know, when you're like eighty percent into the spot, you know you have to like pull up a little bit, back in, pull up to the right, back to the left, pull up to the right, back to the left.
