Hey guys, welcome to another Sklarbro Country, the virus edition.
We love doing this pod for you, hope you had a good weekend.
We were recording this on the Friday before, so if the world blew up over the weekend, we're sorry.
We'll still release it though.
At least we released it.
When the world is a barren wasteland, we'll know.
You got us.
If we get two views after an apocalypse.
I'll take it.
I'm going to count that as a great video.
I'll be like, hey, we got a like.
Is it getting any hits?
Is it getting any hits?
Is it getting any hits?
These are the pandipods.
This is The Basement Takes.
I love that Ed Ellington.
If that's Ed Ellington who came on.
I'm giving it to Ed Ellington, whether it is or not.
The Basement Takes.
We are the Sklar Brothers, and this is what we do.
Daily podcast, 30 minutes every day to give you a little break.
No charts.
No predictions.
No death toll rates.
No stock market.
None of that.
We're not talking about that right now.
We're making fun of some silly decisions being made through this process. yeah uh we're trying to find what's funny in these moments and we're venting to you about
our lives how are you feeling by the way ran through this i feel okay i saw a guy running
down the street people are running that's like a big thing a lot of running going on on nextdoor.com
and maybe we'll do a whole episode where we just explore just one several posts on nextdoor.com. And maybe we'll do a whole episode where we just explore just one, several posts on nextdoor.com.
We'll just go through all of them.
Saw a guy running.
Don't trust him.
Nextdoor.com.
Nextdoor.com is the beginning of racism.
Right.
Well, it's like a time.
It is.
But then there's a moment where if you see somebody and you're trying to describe them,
no matter how you, if you're trying to give an accurate description, there's no way you
can't sound like a racist.
Because even if you identify, hey, there's a white guy running why why the fact is he's white why does that have to
do why does that have to do anything because we're trying to help you that no so people are running
okay nextdoor.com is a tattletale site yeah and i i'm telling on you i told the story
so there was a chicken running loose in silver Lake. Is there anything more Silver Lake, Los Angeles,
than a chicken running wild?
And someone was talking about it and how it looked like it was crazy.
And then, of course, my wife, Amy, had to poke the nextdoor.com bear,
if you will.
And she commented on it, how funky was that chicken?
You can't do that
because then someone followed that up with a comment,
that is a real chicken with real problems
and real issues.
To which my daughter, Daisy, then 14 years old,
took that quote and put it on the dry erase board.
It lived in our kitchen for months.
That is a real chicken with real problems and real issues.
Crazy lady from nextdoor.com.
At least she gave her, attributed to something.
She was almost too nice to that woman.
So there's a big issue about running.
I don't know if people are walking in their neighborhoods,
and hopefully you're listening to this podcast,
getting a little bit of fresh air.
Maybe you're walking around your lawn.
Maybe you're trying to find that one moment where people aren't out
and you can walk through your neighborhood,
and that is actually good and healthy for the soul and the body. But there are a lot of people
walking in my neighborhood and people are running and sweating and breathing out and putting all
their whatever they're out into the world. And it's bothering people. And the truth is that,
and my wife wants to post on, I'm like, do not. You already messed up that spot. Don't
post on nextdoor.com.
She wants to post on nextdoor.com.
If you're running in Silver Lake,
shut your mouth. Shut your mouth
and you go into the
street. If you're running, don't take
the running path. If you
have to run, she's going to make
a lot of running. That was like a big
discussion in my head. If you have to run, the walkers get the right of way because you're on a walking path.
And she feels very, very strongly of it.
So strongly that now I have to feel strongly about it.
You know those issues?
She literally was like, digitally hold my beer.
Yeah.
I'm going in.
She was like, digitally hold you back.
Digitally hold my Nine Wests. Hold my earrings. Hold my Nine Wests. Hold my clip-ons. I'm going to digitally hold you back. Digitally hold my nine Wests.
Hold my earrings.
Hold my nine Wests.
Hold my clip-ons.
I'm going in.
Hold my weave.
I'm going in on this fight.
I was like, no.
This is not a Caribbean brunch on Real Housewives of NBA wives.
No.
You got to stay back.
Let this run its course.
That's right.
No pun intended.
That's right.
And if it does run its course, go out in the street if you need to.
I said, look, maybe you need to go out.
Just quote, quote Michael McDonald
of the Doobie Brothers.
You don't know me, but I'm your brother?
No. Taking it to the streets.
There was a time in the early 80s
where Michael McDonald sang on
90% of the songs that were released.
He was the white Nate Dogg. I've always said this.
Yes. Nate Dogg in the 90s and early 2000s.
Come on up to my castle, baby.
See you got things on your mind.
Come on up to my bedroom, baby.
Having things is just fine.
So she wanted to write something on there.
And in the midst of all of this, where
I was trying to tamp down the don't
make a thing about don't rile them up don't rile them up what was that from don't i don't
we were watching some sporting event and we were riling up other people yeah and they were like
our anger and son matt price kept saying don't
rile him up he started chanting and that was riling us up but in the midst of all this running
controversy i saw a guy outside and i'm again my whole thing is do not don't rile him up don't
and i saw a guy running on my street barefoot running you know
there's that trend of like it's not even skeletons bro we saw a guy in skeletons in it skeletons in
a suit at the airport i hope you land on a hypodermic needle what meeting are you going to
wear that where is it that you skeletons, you can wear that with a,
and I think it was a three-piece suit.
You can't be that important to wear those.
You either have to own the company or you're an afterthought.
Like even on Silicon Valley,
when Gavin wore, I was like,
that's a little, that might be gilding the lily bit.
We saw it live and I'm like,
I can't even get angry about it.
It's live.
We saw it in the world.
Saw it in the wild.
This guy was running barefoot.
I'm like, whatever skin things you're just putting out into the world.
And I guess there's this idea that, oh, yeah, run barefoot.
That's the way our ancestors ran.
Well, our ancestors weren't running on, like,
there wasn't a lot of broken glass.
Our ancestors didn't have the choice.
It wasn't like, you know,
Neanderthal man
was like shunning Nike.
Yeah,
it wasn't like
Yeezys came along
and they're like,
yeah,
I think I'll just stay.
I'm just gonna stay.
I'll stay with these
calloused feet.
Right.
I'm gonna stay with feet
that are like gigantic
because there's like,
they're so puffy
I can't feel anything.
So this guy was running
and the second he ran by the house and I saw it, I was like picking up poop i can't feel anything so this guy was running and the second
he ran by my the house and i saw it i was like picking up poop from the dog and i saw this guy
running by there i was like into the streets i was like this ass i came back in and i'm like get
me on next door get on i gotta write about log me in if you're if you're running take it to the
streets if you're barefoot take it to your house yeah take it home bro um getting it just just
doubt what do you do after you're barefoot and you're running do you just douse your feet Take it to your house. Yeah. Take it home. Bro. Getting it. Just doubt.
What do you do after you're barefoot and you're running?
Do you just douse your feet in hand sand in Purell?
We'll get to that because there's a story about that.
Let's get to it right now.
Purell.
I'm just going to say it right now.
Is Purell, to quote Dennis Green, who we thought Purell was?
I don't know at this point.
Does it do what they say it do?
Well, some people are trying to sue it.
Gojo Industries, which, is that who you thought?
I thought Gojo Industries, I thought just they made toys that kids swallowed and almost died from.
You know what I mean?
These robots have knives on them.
Gojo Industries.
Gojo Industries also sounds like it's a mixture of being a martial arts dojo and a kid's play place.
It sounds like in a new Jackie Chan movie, that's the bad guy.
Teach your three-year-old karate in this ball pit.
Gojo Industries.
No, no, but he's the bad guy.
The bad guy works for Gojo.
Shanghai Afternoons.
That's right.
Gojo Industries.
That's right.
So I'm going to read this.
So pardon my look this way, but who are listening You don't give a damn
The maker of Purell hand sanitizer
Facing two class action lawsuits
Right now as we speak
Again
Right now
People are still suing other people
Amidst this pandemic
Gotta get that legal
Can't keep that spirit down
Okay
Gotta make money somehow
Facing two class action lawsuits
Accusing of misleading claims
That it can prevent 99.9%
of the illness-causing germs out in the world.
You know, legally, they're like,
wait, not legally,
they're like, if any disease comes up,
they're like, that was the point one.
That's in the 0.1%?
That's a 0.1.
Every disease is in the 0.1.
Whatever disease you got, that's fine.
So the most recent
Lawsuit filed by
Four people
March 13th
In federal court
The northeastern
District of Ohio
Because I got
Nothing better to do
Comes as retailers
Scrambled
I keep hand sanitizer
On the shelves
Pirell's label
Says
That it can kill
99.9%
Of the illness
Causing germs
You know
They're claiming it
They're leaving the door open.
They're saying it's misleading and implies sound scientific support would not exist.
Did you think that implies sound scientific?
No.
99.9% is like what a dummy says.
That's right.
They're like, I'm 99.9% sure I could kick your ass.
That's right.
I'm going to kick 99.9% of your ass.
It's like when a dumb
person tries to sound
scientific or tries to make you
sound like I got 100% of this
covered. That's
how someone exaggerates. For people to be
calling Purell on it just means that
they're dumber than Purell. To think
that that meant that they ran scientific
tests. No, I'm 99.9%
sure she doesn't have herpes.
That's what you say to your friend when you know she has herpes.
But Purell never thought it would be thrust into the limelight quite like that.
Purell was a background player in a Broadway show who suddenly right now has to do a solo.
Purell was just good smelling rubbing alcohol.
That's all it was?
I bet people make elderflower moonshine out of Purell in the foothills of West Virginia in the Smoky Mountains.
Someone's making a Purell batch of moonshine as we speak.
Purell was fun because you could make it disappear
onto your hands.
That's why that's all people are like,
look at this cool technology.
It goes away, and then your hands dry again.
So I'm going to read
some of the case here.
Quote,
these claims lack
a scientific basis
rendering the affirmative
misrepresentations misleading.
I feel like this case
is being argued
by a seventh grader.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Your Honor,
no fair.
Okay.
It's no fair.
They pretended like
it was science
when it wasn't science it's not science
i think they should be in big trouble your honor right goji didn't gojo gojo did not immediately
respond to a request for comment here of course they didn't and the issue was able to they said
that purell has quote broken the public's trust broken the public's trust. Broken the public's trust?
You're not married to Purell. Do you know what I'm saying? Look, I understand these are desperate
times. If you're counting on Purell solely, people are like, God, I trusted Purell. I don't know who
Purell is anymore. Until this one happened. I mean, I need hand sanitizer that I can trust.
I mean, I need hand sanitizer that I can trust.
I want hand sanitizer I can sit down and drink a beer with.
Yeah.
All right?
I need a hand sanitizer that won't leave me when I go out with my friends.
Yes.
I want hand sanitizer that shoots straight.
When they say 99.9%, I want to know that they ran the tests.
But 99.9% does leave the door open I trusted you Purell
Look
You can't put too much weight on Purell
That's too much weight on a thin back
That's right
So in January the US Food and Drug Administration
Sent a letter to the maker of Purell
Warning Gojo
What are you using Purell?
Warning Gojo against
Making unsubstantiated claims about the effectiveness Of the products Warning Gojo What are you using Pirell? Warning Gojo Let's put a little on right now
Against making unsubstantiated claims
About the effectiveness of the products
The FDA cited several advertising campaigns
Suggesting that Pirell could prevent
The flu, Ebola, Norovirus
And other deadly
Okay, so they did kind of lie
And it adds two inches to your penis
Wait, what?
I feel like Pirell is overreaching
In this instance.
So demand, of course, is going to-
Male pattern baldness, it cures?
No, it won't.
Erectile dysfunction.
So there's a bottom line here, and this is the bottom line I say about Purell, is that-
Beazles, mumps.
Should get rid of any stats on their label.
That's what Purell should do.
Just get rid of it and just adopt this tagline, Purell.
Smells like it works.
Yeah.
Right?
That should be the new thing.
Hey, Purell, look, it feels like it should work.
Yeah.
This has got to work, right, guys?
That's what Purell should be.
They should be your friend who doesn't know if the bungee cord is 100% secure, but he's like, I mean,
they're not going to let you die on this thing.
It's bungee cord jumping.
That's right.
How can it go wrong?
It's fine.
Don't overpromise.
Nobody will get hurt.
Purell, don't ask, don't tell.
That rhymes.
Purell, it's one way to feel better.
I guess.
Yeah.
If you did it like that, Purell, curiosity killed the cat.
Curiosity is a deadly virus that we probably can't stop.
Yes.
Okay?
If they did that, boom.
They're not saying they get rid of it.
No, they're not.
They're just saying, okay, we smell good.
We'll keep you pretty clean.
That's right.
Also, don't touch a lot of people
and put your hands in your mouth.
Yeah. And then don't drink
us. But we smell pretty
good smelling
rubbing alcohol. That's what
they should say. And that's it.
I don't know if they're going to win these lawsuits
because at first, before I started, I was
against them, but now I'm actually
on their side, but now I'm kind of against them.
I don't know who to root for anymore at all.
I think that's because no sports have been around.
There's no sense of good and bad.
You're trying to say, who do I root for here and there?
There's no home team, no away team.
There's no good.
There's no evil anymore.
This virus has removed my ability to understand
who we should root for.
My rooting compass is now gone
Completely gone
And let's take a break, shall we?
Yeah, let's take a break
In this break, before we head to break
We have a voicemail
We have a little voicemail from our good buddy Dan Van Kirk
Oh yeah, Dan Van Kirk
Who has a new podcast himself
He's going to tell you a little bit about that
People are always asking us during this time, what else should I be
listening to? There's a little recommendation.
Dan Van Kirk has the Good Night Show. Is that what it's called?
Our co-host.
The Good Night Show I thought was a kids show on
PBS. The Midnight Show? No, that was the
I don't know what it is. Dan's going to tell you
what it is. Sleep tight show.
It is a late night show
that you can go to sleep to
that will make you feel good.
That's what Dan Van Kirk does.
He makes you feel good.
He is our co-host from Dumb People Town.
And check this out.
And then we'll go to break.
Hey, this is Daniel Van Kirk.
You're actually listening to the theme from my brand new podcast called The Good Night Show.
It's a late night podcast that drops every single night wherever you get your podcast and it's light and it's fun. Episodes run anywhere from maybe 15 to 20 minutes, never more
than 30. And we cover topics like history of pop culture or notable days that are happening that
week. Everything from small town news to positive things that we've seen from around the internet
or have even been sent in by you. Plus, we have unsolved
mysteries, sex and relationship advice, and a couple times a month we even bring in a guest
for an interview. And those will be people from the comedy world and beyond. It's called
The Good Night Show. I hope you check it out and I hope you like it.
All right, welcome back.
Hope you guys are doing well.
Again, thank you for subscribing, rating, reviewing this podcast.
It's growing. We appreciate the people who watch the clips and comment on our Instagram page.
We are trying to make sure.
I think it should be up on Stitcher at this point.
Someone had asked about that.
Thank you for that.
Thank you, LA Magazine, for mentioning us as one of the podcasts you should be listening to to get you through this coronavirus.
That felt great.
Look, we don't know when the end is.
We're going to continue to do this throughout this.
Let me just say, truthfully, this is not easy for us.
We are taking a slight risk by me being in Randy's space right now.
And me being away from my family in this time. It is not easy. It's not easy to do it.
But we believe that this is one of the things we can do to help and to put what we believe
is good vibes, creativity, comedy into a dark place and try to find some light. So that's why
we're doing this. We will continue to do it throughout this process and try to give you guys that little break every single day
that will help you lift your spirits a little bit.
And hopefully we can get you to maybe give you some good advice,
like this next story.
Look out for people trying to take advantage of you.
I'm just going to say that right now, okay?
Because it doesn't stop when we hit a pandemic.
By the way, especially old people are the targets.
Old people are the targets of this pandemic,
and there are targets of people trying to get them to do stuff.
But I'll say this to the old people out in the world,
and if you're an old person and you're listening to this, I get you.
I got duped.
Remember when I got duped?
Yep, Randy got duped.
I was on a class field trip that I was chaperoning for my then,
she was now in seventh grade, but then sixth grader, and I'm on this class field trip. I was chaperoning for my then, she was now in seventh grade, but then sixth grader.
And I'm on this class field trip.
They're at like a writing workshop.
I get a phone call, like three phone calls from a number I don't recognize.
I pick it up.
I start talking to him.
It's a guy with an Indian accent, not Native American, India from India, beeping going on like it's being recorded by the government.
He's saying he's from the Social Security office
and that my Social Security number has been used in a crime.
And then he starts to go on and on.
He needs my back.
How would it have been used in a crime?
He said my thing was used to rent a car
and that car now has blood in it and drugs
and it's sitting on the Mexican border.
A blood drug car on the Mexican border?
Even saying it right now, I realize how stupid it is.
But in the moment, when the phone is beeping, when the guy is, he, I got to give him credit.
As far as an improv guy, the guy's unflappable.
He was hanging in there hard, and you were on a field trip.
It's better than Harvey Korman.
He wasn't breaking.
I'm on a field trip with my kids.
I'm freaking, with my daughter.
I'm outside of this field trip.
I'm freaking out. I start to give the guy my bank information and my social security then of
course i you know thankfully had life lock and went nuts in terms of trying to put in barriers
and whatnot once i realized everything that was going on everyone's telling me get off so since
so since you did that because i don't just answer the phone i just ignore anything that but like
now now i answer the phone and go after them.
I'm like,
Hey man,
what's going on?
Yeah.
Well,
Oh,
there's a cocaine car with my cocaine.
Hey,
can you say it louder?
Cause the cops who are on the line and then they hang up and then I call back
and I'm like,
Hey man,
what happened?
Yeah.
You just,
and then they hang up on you again and you hang a call back and you'd be
like,
here's the deal.
You're done.
You're finished.
I know you probably don't care about this and you're just trying to make money, but
you made a huge mistake getting into this business because now your life is over. Every choice you
made, you can't threaten it. I was like, don't look, don't look over your shoulder, bro. And I
will be there with a broken piece of glass. I'm going to shove it into the back of your neck. I'm
not going to kill you, but I'm going to make it so you can't walk anymore.
Let me just say, there was a moment
two years ago where
someone said there was a car
with cocaine and blood in it at the Mexican
border and it is somehow linked to you
and I thought to myself, I got to get
out of this. Suddenly, I was like
Harrison Ford in The Fugitive.
I didn't kill my wife!
I'm standing on a drain pipe with a 100-foot drop,
and I'm just like, it's now or never.
I was in it deep.
So old people, watch out,
because they're coming for all of us,
specifically you, and this happened the other day.
If something comes up and someone accuses you
of anything in these moments.
Yesterday, a Brookville, this is on Thursday,
so this is dropping on Monday, so last
week, a Brooksville, Florida man,
of course this happened in Florida,
received a COVID-19
relief check from the government
for $3,000
in the mail. Okay.
The bill had not been passed yet,
but this guy's getting a check in the mail,
which, by the way, it's not coming in the mail.
Just like the Social Security office will never call you, they will send, by the way, it's not coming in the mail. Just like the Social Security office will never call you.
They will send you a letter.
So it's not coming in the mail.
It's going to be added to your tax relief when you're taking off of whatever you owe on your tax.
So you're not even going to get the money.
But the $2.2 trillion thing hasn't even passed yet.
And then it said on there, call a number on the accompanying letter to continue to claim
relief checks in the future that's the beginning they're like oh i get to keep claiming you just
have 3 000 we're gonna keep claiming stuff so when a local news station kudos to the i mean i'm
assuming the person walked the letter over to the local news station or just did whatever they called them. They probably took a photo.
On a landline.
Yes, on a landline.
Connected to the wall, called the local news station,
which they probably had on speed dial.
Right.
That probably like the local news station,
this person in Brooksville, Florida,
is like right above one of their uncles.
Yes.
In the list of things.
That's right.
In the list of the nephews.
That's right.
So they called him up
and the local news station
called this number
and what they realized
it was a number
for a trucking
and carport business.
Ooh.
That's exactly
the type of people
who do this stuff.
A trucking
and carport business.
To me,
if someone says,
what are you in?
What kind of business
are you in?
But doesn't that give it away? What kind of business are you in good trucking and carports the mob you're in the mob yes you are
in the mafia you're trying to you're trying to scam old people it's the same people if it's in
florida and it's the mob in florida i'm like these are the mcmillions people did you not see mcmillions
okay that's who these people are this is how trying to get your money so that's where we're at
fake companies sending out fake relief checks.
So it was a trucking company.
So that you would then give all this other information.
But even if it came up that it was a trucking and carport,
why would you give your information to them?
I don't know if she gave this person or he gave it.
No, no, I'm just saying, but that to me is where this story falls apart.
Because if they called that number and it came up as a trucking and carport company,
then wouldn't you as saying, oh, sorry, I got the wrong number, I guess.
I'm just trying to collect the money on my check.
I'm just saying, two years ago, I was on the phone outside of my kids' field trip.
Cocaine car.
Cocaine car at the board.
And I was like, how do I get down there and stop this?
Who died?
You thought you were in Breaking Bad.
That's right. i'm like how
do we how do we erase this who am i thrown into a bucket of acid to make this thing go away that's
literally what i started with here i wish i mean i i haven't started watching game of thrones yet
because i just don't need to jay you need to two episodes a day i could be through this by the time
this thing ends yeah and any question 80 episodes i don't know 100 it through this by the time this thing ends. Yeah. What are they, like 80 episodes? I don't know.
100?
It's a bunch.
Not 100.
And they're like an hour and a half each?
I mean, here's the thing.
Old person sees a letter come from the mail, they're like, got to be official.
Yeah.
It has to be official.
Because that's how they grew up.
That's right.
I got a letter.
Be careful.
We are debunking everything on this show today.
Purell, fake relief checks.
My baby, she wrote me a letter.
I wonder if they could reboot that song, update it,
and say, my baby, she wrote me an email.
A text or an email.
All right, I want to talk about this story,
because this happened, Jay.
Cristiano Ronaldo.
It's in the world of sports.
If you don't know who Cristiano Ronaldo is,
he's one of the most famous.
He and Lionel Messi are the two most famous.
Well, they're in the debate.
They're in this sort of Jordan-LeBron debate
of who's the greatest soccer player alive.
And they're actually both playing at the same time.
Which is insane.
And you could make an argument for either.
Portuguese player who plays now for Juventus,
which is one of the top Italian leagues.
Yes. The Serie top Italian leagues. Yes.
The Serie A Italian league.
And Juventus usually almost every year-
Makes it to the Champions League.
Makes it to the Champions League in Europe.
So they have an international fan base, Juventus does.
The same way that teams like AC Milan-
Inter Milan.
And-
Roma.
Barcelona.
Teams like that around the world.
Real Madrid.
So he played for Real Madrid.
He's from Portugal.
Yeah.
And he now plays for Juventus.
And of course, the Italian soccer teams are the ones that are immediately,
as all of Italy gets shut down.
Right.
He was said to have just, he kept saying,
I got to go visit my mom in Portugal.
I want to leave.
I want to leave.
I got to leave. Who's he saying that to want to leave. I want to leave. I got to leave.
Who's he saying that to?
To the team.
Don't keep me here.
There are going to be no more games.
I'm going to go visit my mom in Portugal.
To which, what do you got to say?
You got to be like, go visit your mom.
And I think he donated a million euros, which at this point,
because of the market, is worth about $300.
A million.
Remember we were in Turkey?
And we had 750,000 Turkish lira.
That was about 25 bucks.
Yeah.
I feel like about a million. How do you feel?
I feel like a million Turkish lira.
So $37?
Yeah, basically.
And that's the way we felt a lot of the time
when we were there.
Yes.
But Cristiano Ronaldo donated money there
and he's donated money to hospitals.
At least he's not a bad guy. But he said, I got to get home. I got to see my mom. And what are you going to say? No. Yes. But Cristiano Ronaldo donated money there, and he's donated money to hospitals. At least he's not a bad guy.
But he said, I got to get home.
I got to see my mom.
And what are you going to say?
No.
No.
You're not going to go see your mom?
So he lets him go.
And meanwhile, they told the other players on the team, you can't go.
You're not allowed to go.
It's Cristiano Ronaldo.
He's player of the year.
You got to let him do whatever he wants.
So he says, I want to go home.
And then he starts posting pictures online.
There were pictures posted online.
I don't know if it was him posting or people caught him
lounging, hanging out by
his pool, shirt off. Now this guy
is in insanely
great shape. Even for a soccer player,
most soccer players are in incredible shape.
This guy is like Chris Angel.
He's like the Chris Angel of
which we've always had, the Chris Angel.
You don't need that many abs to do magic.
You do not need, and most magicians in Vegas particularly they're vain they they're good
shape they're orange Lance Burton we all know what he looks like sure Chris Angel you only he was too
cut too ripped you only need one ab for magic that's right abracadabra that's what we say
that's the only ab you need so now he's in trouble you know out, out by the pool. He's upset his team. How
is this? Yeah, because they're all like, well, wait, why
can't we go? But if I'm him and I have
abs like that, let's reverse it. If you
did have abs like that, you'd want to
show them off. Right. Okay? During a
corona, sequestering
a quarantine, at a
funeral, at a bris, you'd probably wear
a half shirt just to show what you got.
Building dedication. Come what you got building dedication
come on a building dedication you can't you can't be that guy you're you're not worried about money
you're not worried about anything if you have to don't let anyone take your picture that's right
or get an indoor pool get an indoor pool or you have enough money to get an indoor. Don't lounge out by the pool.
You got out of your situation just hanging out.
If you're not going to go home to visit your mom like you said you were.
Or go visit your mom.
I want to tell the story about the building dedication,
and then we'll get out of here.
Okay.
Do you remember?
So when we were kids, when we were little, probably like what, 10?
Yeah, 10 or 11.
10 or 11, and we were young young just about to hit puberty i think it was 11 or 12
because our bar mitzvah was one of the last bar mitzvahs at the old synagogue that's right open
the new synagogue they opened up a new they opened up a new synagogue that we went to in
st louis out out west in st louis by us and broke ground, and they started to build the-
They had a cornerstone ceremony.
Right, where they did it.
Now, our parents around that time, and maybe it's because our parents didn't have a lot
of money.
They weren't buying us new clothes every time we grew.
We usually wore clothes past the point of when we should have been, because we just
needed to make them fit.
And they said we were constantly picking at our crotches.
Just like pulling out.
Pulling underwear out.
And I guess the shorts were too small.
And we were just constantly.
And our parents, for a brief period of time.
82, 83.
Brief period of time.
Some of the only communication we'd have with them,
stop picking your crotch.
Which, by the way, I get that.
Stop picking your crotch.
I have an 11-year-old boy, and there are things that I tell him to do.
Stop picking your crotch.
Stop picking your crotch.
And we would, our response back every single time is, we're not.
We're not.
We're not.
We're not picking our crotch.
We're not.
So the building dedication.
We're not.
We were so adamant about not picking our crotch.
So the building dedication.
We're not.
We were so adamant about not picking our crotch.
So the building dedication happens, and it happens out west,
and there's a photographer to document it. Now, for some reason, why did we feel the need to stand right behind the rabbi
as he dug the first thing of.
Well, he was laying a brick into the.
Well, he did dig a thing, and then he was laying
the first brick into the cornerstone
that is... That later became the
sanctuary of the synagogue. It was biblical.
The cornerstone. Right. Okay? This guy's the
cornerstone of our community. Rabbi Lipnick
putting the thing down in there.
Okay, and we'll tell one... Stone that the builder
refused. Okay.
And then we'll tell one Rabbi Lipnick story, and then we're out of here.
And so there were pictures of us standing by, again, in the paper.
Our response to our parents all the time where they're like, stop picking your crotch.
We're like, we're not.
We're not.
We're not.
We're not.
In the local Jewish newspaper, the Jewish Light in St. Louis, there was a picture of this stone dedication.
And we are standing behind the rabbi watching him put the brick in and what are
we doing picking our both of us like deep so like like three fingers deep into pulling material
evidence that they our parents were right and we were wrong just crotch grabbers that's all we were
at that time at our crotch and it wasn't even sexual it was just to get relief from clothes
that were too small I know Jay, so
Tell this story and then we'll get out of here
Alright, Rabbi Lipnick
Should we save it for tomorrow?
Alright, yeah, we'll save it for tomorrow
