Checking in with my favorite crew…
Hi gals and guys, it’s your friend Brody here, saying hello from The San Fernando Valley out in California.
Hot Hot Heat today, instant sweat, it’s a new scent from Axe.
Bing! Right off the wiffle ball bat and straight into your Laff Zone!
That’s what I do, triple blogging with five open tabs nestled neatly within my browser, blanketing iTunes.
Huge on the BBC in The UK.
Welcome to America via HBO and the CBS Radford Lot!
Think I had a concussion too, slight nausea, definite groggy.
Thursday at 4:30pm I was slammed into on Olympic in West Los Angeles, minding my own business, heading east towards Staples Center and the Laker Game.
Mild traffic, cruise to a stop behind a Lexus…
Then BOOM, I get hammered, crush test dummied around courtesy of a under-21 driver who claims he was hit from behind.
So here’s the deal… bumper to bumper, his plate is embedded on my bumper, my antenna now makes a sound when going up and down, some front hood damage as well, allignment and frame off, etc…
Me, I’m messed up.
My neck, spine and back. Feeling burning sensations up and down upper spine, hands are week, can’t rotate neck, tender, sharp pains, etc…
No lie, not a scammer, just wanna get back to pre-accident levels.
Really sucks, why? Because I’m a good person who minds his own business, displaying and accomplishing non-aggressive defensive lifestyle choices.
Can’t play drums
Can’t pitch
Can’t swing bat
Can’t go to gym
Can’t perform normal comedy routine
Look like I want attention due to the pain –> vibe at Starbucks this afternoon
Don’t wanna have a lifetime of neck and back problems
I am beyond flexible, known for it, not anymore
Depressed and sad, not lonely!
Honestly, I think I broke some bones and tweaked or ruptured something.
Doctor on Monday. Spoke to attorney. Everyone is insured, I’m covered. But I’m down in the dumps, stiff like a non-athlete looking type…
Life will go on, just not gonna be the same Brody for a while.
And you’ll say who cares? And I’m saying, you really should care, slow down and put yourself in my Nike Air Max 360’s (two pair at Finish Line, wearing only one group at time of impact). This unfortunate nightmare effects a lot of people.
These are just some the individuals and phenomenons I’ve been associated with for the last 20 years. (New challenges will certainly abound in my post fusion, nerve, lumbar world!)
Now do you see?
My energy and honest spirit, tied in with a blue collar Jewish work ethic produces results on the stage, off the field, on the mound, behind the drums at Guitar Center, in line at Dave and Buster’s or dealing with awkward silence on a television sound stage.
Or we can get weird, delving into late 60’s/early 70’s family crossings with Manson up near Chatsworth.
I just spooked you like The Strangers.
Remember, I think I’m concussed
2906 Sunset Blvd in what I like to call East Hollywood, small workout room…
In town for the weekend.
8pm
Hey Crew, Brode here…
Enjoy the Friendships!
Here’s a cool picture…

We are having a heat wave here in Southern California and it frightens me. We’re all scared, please help, send money and FEMA. I speak on behalf of all second generation Angelenos.
105 degrees today at The Vitamin Shoppe in Woodland Hills. Muscle Milk spoiled and my fresh Fish Oil started to give off odor.
But I adapted! By buying a sling-shot and Power Putty at Sport Chalet.
I like Subway and Robeks as well, when they are corporate branches… not the franchised out editions. Too loose and too “back in 5 minutes” taped to the front door.
The music is wrong, portions and spreading varies, workers out of shape, drink bar a mess, etc…
I’m on the go, I’m using debit and please don’t sweat into my lettuce. Seriously, this has happened recently. She was too eager and spazmatic, giving off moisture. This particular female sandwich artist should have taken a step back, gathered herself, dried up, put on the plastic gloves… then bask me with a deep healthy breath, followed by confident smiling.
Show me you’re IN control when the joint is OUT of IT and I may select double meat or even throw in a tip. I’m that cool and classy.
Just dyed my beard, now I’m ready to exercise topless in the sun.
Will incorporate Bosu Ball, J-Bands (jaegersports.com) and yoga brick purchased at Target prior to Spring Training in Vero Beach.
And you say “who cares?”
Well, the answer is not many.
Let’s be honest.
Enjoy the personal greeting!
I care, a good guy, I pick up trash in my apartment complex, then drop it off in a city gutter or unsuspecting neighbor’s front lawn.
Litter: if you can’t beat it, join in on the fun!
Graffiti, scratchitti and dog poo has made me this way.
White flight? How about the Jew Flew? Because I’m sick of selfishness and lack of personal responsibility.
The cursing in public is driving me nuts. So nonchalant, or just not aware or don’t care that a child is in line within earshot holding hands ever so gently, caressing his single mother’s soft antibacterial protected palms and fingers at Carl’s Jr.
If it bothers me, and I work in Hollywood and show business (retail on the lot), then it must bother other movers and shakers. Betcha it does, and if it doesn’t they’re un-evolved and living in a bubble.
What else?
Feeling decent today, back home from San Diego, here’s some pix from the 27 hour southbound excursion.
*Click here to explore the 2 games at Petco Park
A few more things…
-may have some live shows coming up Zach Galifianakis, Chelsea Handler and Joe Rogan —> the offers are out, up to me to bite
But I love pitching and drumming!! If I can work these two things into my life (oh, kettlebells too), I’d be honored to play eighth fiddle for crowds not there to see me, but I don’t think it’s possible.
Bottom line, I’m not gonna make it in this business on my terms thank you.
Can we please take down the Drillbit Taylor billboards? We get it Owen, you’re here for laughs and comfort and your wrists look great. Is that what you want us to say and think STUDIO EXECS? I’m back, ok and happy… and would you mind not staring at my giantly exposed hands and arms high above Sunset Blvd?
Yes I said “giantly”. Why not? Makes sense to us. And by “us” I mean me and most likely, me.
Gotta go workout, LA public high school campus, blacktop Yoga baby! I’ve paid taxes, kick me off women’s volleyball coach! I dare u, got W-2’s from 1994 in vehicle gloved department (a cushioned file cabinet that I carry in hatch back) next to insurance card and owners manual, and a Clark bar from September.
-fun entry, too bad I’m solo and on my own in a deep dark sea of URL’s. Daddy, I’m scared, help save me from the shallow end of this turbulent tide pool. Is that a sea urchin in your pocket OR are you just happy to see me?
My father Harry would be happy to see me, and that’s a starfish in his pants.
Got emotional thinking of my late father who enjoyed comedies but not my comedy. He passed (in 1997) before the birth of this blog (around 2000) and my Last Comic Standing one and done appearance (i think 2005, non-sweeps period).
Brody: sunday downer
*Dodger 3rd Base Coach currently serving three game suspension
Sandy Koufax in there…
Check this view out, it’s new!
Let’s Microwave-side chat…
First off, rocking out to Daughtry. Yes! He will kick Clay Aiken’s butt all over the Midwest and Southeast! Chris Daughtry is Nickelback with an edge.
Seriously, not a hater. Just read the Playboy interview with Chad Kroeger, lead singer of Nickelback. The anger, the issues, the trouble in high school, come on? Really Chad? You were a jerk for no reason and your music reflects it.
Generally, I’ve got more issues with FANS of certain artists.
Hey crowd, it’s okay to share laughs and support. Spread out and release your approval.
We are so compartmentalized and rigid with tags and categories. Instead of just letting go and letting natural positive chuckles fill the room.
Yeah, had a tough weekend. Hard to follow Carlos Mencia and a guy from Jack in the Box commercials.
Not a rip and why would you assume I’ve got issues with these two? I don’t. And that’s why YOU don’t get it… yet.
People are shocked to learn that I am nice. Rare am I negative, extremely and rarely.
(the last sentence reads better in my voice, but you don’t know me)
*April 11th —-> back on E’s Chelsea Lately for my fourth panel appearance. Two more panels and I get a wonderful sweater.
*Factoid: I used to BMX bike ride in Reseda with Slash. Read about the Teen Center in his book. I was there. I think Slash stood up for me one day after a Aryan guy tripped me.
*Also lived in the same apartment complex with American Idol Superstar Jordan Sparks in Mesa, AZ - early 90’s
Here’s a picture from last night that I took….
I’m anticipating valuable hits, so let me throw this stuff out there…
*will be visiting E’s Chelsea Lately on Valentine’s Night (my third appearance) - Set your camcorders!
Was in AZ and Baton Rogue since we last spoke. Here’s a jpeg diary, starting off in Boston…
*cold in Boston, just before AFC Championship Game
*shoes in Boston, Nikes purchased at Macy’s in NYC
*in Scottsdale with Michael Strahan as he prepares for the big game
*Phoenix Suns Dancers with The Gorilla
As you can see, I’m just getting started here. This is what happens when you drink a Rockstar w/Guava after 9:30pm.
Feeling pretty good, driving out to Mom’s Rancho Mirage cottage for Valentine’s Desert Dessert and a couch crash as I head back to Tempe, AZ for Alumni baseball activities.
Busy, good busy, refuse to complain. But I will. If I see that NHL hockey player get his neck slashed again on ESPN with telestrator arrows highlighting the gore I’m gonna go after Dick Vitale.
Can we now close the book on this steroid crap? If you do it, you’ll get caught and embarrassed. Bonds, Clemens, McGwire and FP Santangelo. That’s good enough for me, all positions covered, blame spread. Owners too, they’re at fault as well, maybe even more?
Back to the action…
*world famous NFL rusher - Barry Sanders of the Lions!
*down with Snoop in AZ
This posting is long, I don’t care, jamming items in, you can come back later. Please let me keep going, nobody suffers.
