Tom Segura
This is a documentary special that encompasses. Are you garbage with the. With the crowd. Stand up. And I think actually it's the thing that people want to see the most, which is like, the bits. The off. Off stage fun. Like on the bus, around in restaurants.
Kevin Ryan
That's exactly what it is. Yeah.
Tom Segura
D out salt shakers. What do you. Whatever you do for fun. But it has it all.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it was. It was very like, we do the bus we got. I mean, because we are just dirt bags and like, you know, we just did this ourselves. Like, I just started calling bus rental places and I'm like, can we have a bus? They're like, sure, but we got a bus from, like, 1981.
Tom Segura
Maybe purposely bad.
Kevin Ryan
No, it was just like. That's what I mean.
H. Foley
A lot of character.
Kevin Ryan
It felt like we were in, like a log cabin in the 80s. It was. Dude, the seats were ripped. It was.
Tom Segura
How many people were on the bus with you?
Kevin Ryan
Nine guys. Nine dudes.
H. Foley
Nine dudes.
Tom Segura
It was.
Kevin Ryan
It was. Yeah. So it was me, him, two openers, Sam and Tommy, a tour manager, and then the crew was three people and a producer.
Tom Segura
Okay.
H. Foley
And a bus driver who hated our guts.
Tom Segura
Oh, he hated.
Kevin Ryan
We. We thought he was either deaf or didn't speak English for the first four days.
Tom Segura
And it turned out he turned out.
Kevin Ryan
He just didn't like us.
Tom Segura
Didn't like us at all because. Were you guys, like, rowdy?
Kevin Ryan
I mean, probably a little bit, but nothing.
Tom Segura
Like, what did he not like about you.
Kevin Ryan
Just our faces really, right away, weren't.
H. Foley
His kind of guys.
Kevin Ryan
We do. We have it on. We have us meeting him after the first night because he got there, parked the bus, and, you know, we lost to the venue. It was there in Chicago.
H. Foley
Yeah, we met in Chicago and then took the bus all the way to. To California over the 12 days.
Kevin Ryan
And I get there. So, like, we go, we do the show. The bus calls. You know, it's like, you know, 2:00am or whatever. So, like, we go, we do the show, do the meet and greet, go out for beers and like, something to eat. And we're coming back and he's there smoking a cigarette. Like, I am Kevin. Nice to meet you. He just put his hand out. No, like, no words. No, just. I said, thanks for driving us. And he just.
H. Foley
Fucking strong silent.
Tom Segura
So, yeah, I mean, first of all, his assignment is driving the 1981. So this is not their best guy.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
But I think he said it had, like 22.2 million mile. It was like, crazy. It broke down like his bus him off Airbnb. It was just an rv.
Tom Segura
So. So wait, so, like, describe, like, how old is he?
Kevin Ryan
He was a. He was a Dominican guy from the neighborhood I live in. I live in a Dominican neighborhood in New York called Washington Heights. Yeah, he lives. He's from. And he's like, you live there? I'm like, he's like, you're an idiot. He's like, I got out.
H. Foley
Yeah, I had a pretty good conversation with him one night. We took shrooms, and I was. I was up driver.
Kevin Ryan
Just me.
Tom Segura
Oh.
H. Foley
And he. He, He. He ripped teeters, so we were still smoking at the time. So he let me come up and sit and smoke a cig with them. I chatted him up a little bit, found a little bit of his life story. Nice guy.
Tom Segura
He's Dominican.
H. Foley
Dominican dude. Maybe, you know, a little bit of a rougher, younger days.
Kevin Ryan
He's got a past.
Tom Segura
Oh, okay.
Kevin Ryan
Well, he's not allowed in Canada. We found out he's got. He's got a past either.
H. Foley
Am I. You know what I mean?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Tom Segura
So, yeah, it's good the tour didn't go up there.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Yeah. Stopped in L. A. So he was really cool, though.
Tom Segura
So. And was he like, like from Dominican or just like, not just like a.
Kevin Ryan
New York Dominican guy?
Tom Segura
I got you.
Kevin Ryan
And what really broke him is we were, you know, the. We pulled over and we had a drone flying above us. Like we were pulling into a town. Like the production guys. Like, yo, pull over. So they throw the drone up and we're cruising. He's cruising. And then they hit a fucking power line with the. And it fucking just blew up. It fell on the ground, got ran over. And he thought that was the funniest thing. He loved that. Meanwhile, it was like a fifteen thousand dollar loss for us, right? And he's like, ha ha.
Tom Segura
Dang.
Kevin Ryan
A truck hit it. Did a car hit it? Did a truck hit. I'm like, dude, we get it.
Tom Segura
All right? We get it. Yeah, we lost a lot of money.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Yeah, it sucks. We' red on this thing, dude. It's going on YouTube. We're not even selling.
H. Foley
I was sleeping. I didn't see it.
Tom Segura
Holy man, huh? Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Like everything that kind of could. In a. In a good way of like. It's very us. Like so much just. Yeah, this went wrong.
H. Foley
The thing to my pants.
Tom Segura
You see your pants? Yeah, on the tour.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, on five different cameras. And tried to hide it, which is the most insane.
H. Foley
Where were you? I didn't realize they were filming. So I was. I was still in Ozempic at the time. And it was really. It was really killing me. Killing me. And did it.
Tom Segura
Was it helping?
H. Foley
No, it was making me. I was so sick. I had burps, the runs, the whole nine yards. I was in a bad spot. So I. I was. I was on a clock. Because you get on that bus, can't poop.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. He lives in like a typical good spot. Normally, like he's not burping and farting.
H. Foley
But I had to really time it out. And then the bus broke down and I kind of jammed up my schedule.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
H. Foley
And yeah, we got to the place where we're getting the bus fixed and, you know, something happened. I didn't realize Luke, our producer, was running around like the school newspaper filming me.
Kevin Ryan
And dude, meanwhile he's got a lava. Like, we are. We're only day seven of production under the radar.
Tom Segura
Was it running down your legs? Was it like.
Kevin Ryan
No, no, it wasn't not. He threw the underwear. Underwear away.
H. Foley
Yeah, I had to get rid of the underwear. Didn't break the upper atmosphere.
Kevin Ryan
He kept the shorts on, though, for the rest of the day, which is a wild choice.
H. Foley
That would have been a dead giveaway. I figured.
Tom Segura
Oh, so it was just to like save face.
H. Foley
Yeah, yeah. So I. We got.
Tom Segura
There was. There. Were there stains on it. I mean, Tommy, from the outside, could you be like, oh, these are.
H. Foley
Well, they were dark. They were dark basketball shorts.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
So, yeah, they were.
H. Foley
At a glance, I could have Maybe sat in some water or something like that.
Tom Segura
I remember when my. I was with my dad one time and we were in Portland, Maine, and we went out, he was like, we got. He's like, let's go get lobster. And so we got lobster. And then we walk. It's like a father son trip, by the way. It's like, I'm fucking 40. I mean, this is like a few years ago. And we get back to the. We're in the hotel lobby and he's like, I gotta take a shit. So he just goes to the lobby bathroom and I go up to the room. We're sharing a room, right?
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
Tom Segura
So I go into the bathroom of the hotel room we're in and I'm sitting there taking a shit. And then I don't know, a minute later, I hear on the back. I go, what's up? He goes, me? I go, I thought you. Yeah, we're using the bathroom downstairs. He's like, I shit my pants. And I go, okay. So he's like, hurry up. I go, I'm sit. I'm on the toilet, man. Like, hold on. So I clean up, I get out. He's like, I shit my pants. I go, what happened? He's like, well, I was walking in and it was, you know, it was five feet too far, the toilet. So I was like, okay. So he goes in there, he cleans up, and then he comes out and he's telling me the story. I'm like tearing up laughing at it. And then he's like, all right, well, let's go to whatever. Like go to see a movie or something. And I. He starts putting. Pants. Are those the pants you just in? He's like, well, yeah. I go, well, don't you want to look at them? And he holds them up and you see this brown stain?
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
Tom Segura
I go, you can't wear those. He goes, why? I go, because there's shit on them. And he goes, it's just a little bit of.
Kevin Ryan
That's crazy.
Tom Segura
And I go, no, that's not a sentence. No one says. It's just a little bit of shit. I go, don't you have other pants? He's like, yeah. I go, well, get the other pair of pants.
H. Foley
Yeah, that's why you don't look bad. Yeah, yeah. When you don't want an answer, you don't look.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was bad.
H. Foley
Reality in the cold lighted day He's.
Kevin Ryan
A unique guy On a bus.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
To live with for that nine guys. He'll just be like, you come In. He's like sitting in your bunk. And I'm like, dude, get your proven shitty ass off of my bed. Like that's.
H. Foley
I put my shoes on.
Kevin Ryan
So wait, dude, he's an animal. He's the only guy. Just like his luggage is out and open. And they.
Tom Segura
Was it a slow reveal that you had done this? In other words, that like they.
H. Foley
They found. So they were filming like the. So the bus broke down. We were getting all that footage and stuff like that. But I realized Luke was like hovering around me with a camera. And when I got off the bus is when the incident occurred.
Tom Segura
And it's like. It's a moment, right? It's like one quick moment.
H. Foley
But I wasn't sure yet.
Tom Segura
Oh, right. Cuz you have to check. Sometimes we do.
Kevin Ryan
We have the two finger dab and then this dude.
H. Foley
But I wasn't sure because, you know, sometimes. Sometimes it feels like. Is it wet down there? And you.
Kevin Ryan
Dude, he comes up to the nose and does that.
Tom Segura
Yeah. You got that on camera?
Kevin Ryan
On camera did.
H. Foley
I didn't realize that.
Kevin Ryan
And then he goes, you think they got a bathroom in there? And they're like, so. I mean, this poor mechanic shop. It was a family owned mechanic shop in like Arizona.
H. Foley
And if it wasn't. If we weren't at that specific mechanic shop, I don't know how other mechanic shops are. But this bathroom was like a bathroom at a house. Like they had a sink. They had cleaning products under the. Under the sink.
Kevin Ryan
It was like a powder.
H. Foley
They had paper towels in there.
Tom Segura
You took the underwear right in the trash?
H. Foley
Yeah. Well, first. First I checked because, you know, sometimes, you know, it's false alarm. It feels swampy.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
And it isn't right. Unfortunately, this time that wasn't the case.
Kevin Ryan
There was some action for everybody involved.
H. Foley
So I had loose basketball shorts on. So I thought I did it real quick. I just did like one of those.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
I knew it was bad news.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
H. Foley
For everybody.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
So I excused myself from the group and I went in and. Same thing with your dad. Somebody was in there. Somebody else was. Was in there. And I was banging on the door and I heard the toilet flush. It was Tommy Cassidy, our opener. And I was like, listen, I heard the toilet flush. Next thing, I should hear water running. Get out of there. I got a situation. So I go in there. Have to get completely naked. Yeah, I'm completely naked. And it's like a little. It's like. It's a chilly Albuquerque morning. So I feel that draft coming in.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
Standing in These people's bathroom, they're live.
Kevin Ryan
Their livelihood is in the line. He's just like, got a pair of shitty underwear and a brown ass on him.
H. Foley
So I had. I threw them in the. I threw them in the. In the trash can. All right. Threw them in a trash can. Cleaned up, had to clean. It was. I was like the wolf. I had to clean up the bathroom, get rid of everything. And thank God they had. They had. You know, you sometimes put a clean trash bag under the. Under the dirty one so you can fill it. They had that, so it was cool. I got away clean.
Tom Segura
Yes.
H. Foley
I grabbed my bag, I threw my shorts on, I moved out, hook shot it in the dumpster, and that's it. The bus was fixed. Let's go. Thought, all right, no big deal. Everything's.
Kevin Ryan
He doesn't think anybody knows.
Tom Segura
So at this point in your mind, you just got away with this, right?
H. Foley
Heist of the century. It's like the Lufthansa heist. Jimmy. Yeah, it was sad.
Kevin Ryan
Our producer comes out to me at lunch and he's like, dude, I have something that I probably shouldn't. I'm like, if it's in the. If it's in the world of comedy.
Tom Segura
Yes.
Kevin Ryan
If we can get laughs out of this, you have to tell me.
H. Foley
I think it was very funny.
Kevin Ryan
And he's like, Foley. I'm pretty sure Foley shit himself. I'm like, when? He's like, an hour ago. So I'm like, well, we haven't changed. We haven't shot. We've. You know, the bus is up on a jack.
H. Foley
So I was on the bus eating Cheez Its at the time when this was all going.
Kevin Ryan
We get back, so he's sitting there eating, snacking away, and I'm like, what? We're like, on the. We're on the road to. Because at this point, we're like, meanwhile, it's like the. Just the duality of this, like, the dichotomy of the show. He's actively has fecal matter in his underwear, allegedly. And I'm like, can we get to sprinter van? Like, we have to still get six hours to a show. Yeah, that has to go like. You know what I mean?
H. Foley
We're behind the eight ball.
Kevin Ryan
I'm like, I'm. We're calling rental car. They're like, no, you can return the car to another locate. We're just trying to figure out. We're like, can we get a plant? Like, anything we can do.
H. Foley
They were all handling that. I had. I had other.
Kevin Ryan
And he's like, you think they had a bathroom in here? And I'm like, dude, what the fuck? So then we finally the reveal. We slow. We slow roll. It just so happened like we would do on a pot. I'm like, what happened at the mechanic shop? And he's like, oh. Like he.
H. Foley
I thought the service was great.
Tom Segura
I was still downplaying it.
Kevin Ryan
I said, yeah. I'm like, do you want to get out in front of this or like. Because I. I know what happened. And it was just like, that's July till the end.
H. Foley
Until they got you on camera. Yeah, they're right.
Tom Segura
You need to see the evidence before. Sure.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Talk to my lawyer.
H. Foley
I don't answer questions.

Tom Segura
How was the bill?

Heavy bill.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. But that's the one place we do splurge food. Steakhouse. And we really. We don't go anything. It's typical state. We'll go. We'll go ahead.
Tom Segura
Steakhouse is the. You can't go wrong at a steakhouse.
H. Foley
And we only do. We only. Listen. We only do it in, like, you know, once or twice. Like, you know, like something like this. You know, we had, like a long week or whatever. Like, the first night we got here, we got the guys with us and stuff like that. You know, we. You know, we want everybody to have a good time.
Tom Segura
Have you been celebratory when you come here? Have you been to Jake Harvest?
Kevin Ryan
No.
H. Foley
No, we went to Three Forks.
Tom Segura
How'd you like that, love? Did you get the king's butter?
Kevin Ryan
The fuck is you dropping that on me now, Tommy Buns?
H. Foley
Had a little king's butter in my underwear.
Tom Segura
You got to go back. You got to get the king's butter.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that place was expensive. Yeah, that place was. That was. That was a heavy.
Tom Segura
Well, you told me. I mean, you got here, you guys were like, we are spenders.
Kevin Ryan
We also just bad with money.
H. Foley
We also almost got kicked out of Three Forks because we were pretty up. We probably shouldn't have been in there.
Kevin Ryan
I'm literally. I have this exact outfit on and I got a backwards hat on. Our producers. Blind drunk, kicking chair. Like, falling into things.
H. Foley
I was wearing a bathing suit.
Kevin Ryan
What?
Tom Segura
At 3, 4.
Kevin Ryan
We are who we are, Tommy. We can't change it.
H. Foley
Our money's still green.
Kevin Ryan
Huh?
Tom Segura
Were they. Were they like. Excuse me, dude, we were.
Kevin Ryan
I'm pretty sure they thought we weren't going to be able to cover the check.
H. Foley
Yeah, we were in the Middle of the dining room there. Nice. Nice people having nice dinners, enjoying themselves.
Tom Segura
You guys were just animals.
H. Foley
And we're sitting.
Kevin Ryan
We were day. We started day drinking at, like, 2.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
We went to Cisco's and East Tax shout outs. I don't know if you've ever been to Cisco's. Great Mexican food.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
Started how. We're like, let's have a beer here. And then that. The weather was nice. It was like 75.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Let loose, man.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. It was our only off day.
H. Foley
We knew we were in trouble when after we ordered, they came and they flipped out the Leafs. And I was like, in. At this point, I'm like, in the walkway and there's like. There's two nice couples having. Having dinner behind us. We're screaming back and forth. We're doing this, we're doing that.
Kevin Ryan
We were like. We were a scene for that place. It's not like we had each other in headlocks and, you know, trying to put each other out or anything.
Tom Segura
How'd you guys handle the Super Bowl?
H. Foley
Quietly.
Kevin Ryan
Quiet. I watched it at home with my.
H. Foley
Wife because we went to the NFC championship the week before. And I realized very quickly after that whole excursion that I wouldn't have made the. It was rough.
Tom Segura
Really?
H. Foley
Yeah.
Tom Segura
How so?
H. Foley
Had to walk to the subway. There was no cars. Had to get through Broad Street. Walking around, my feet were killing me. I was all. We were all fucked up. I just knew we couldn't do another weekend like that.
Tom Segura
Like that. Were you considering going?
H. Foley
We thought about it, you know, in the moment. We were excited because that's hometown.
Tom Segura
It would have buried hometown.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, hometown. It's also like, we got our boy, you know, I don't know if, you know, like, Tommy Pope, Chris O'Connor, Gilly. And we always go to the game, like, we always go to Philly's game, like Phillies games or whatever. Big games together. And it was like. It was like rally the troops type thing.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Also, we're gonna have to pay for tickets. Like schlubs.
Tom Segura
Oh, my God.
Kevin Ryan
I'm hitting up all. Everybody. And they're hit up our agents. Like, you made us, like 700 last year. Get out of here. They're like, we can get you into the party, maybe.
Tom Segura
Super bowl tickets are crazy. Crazy, crazy.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
I also didn't, you know, just. I didn't want to watch that in that environment because I was very anxious about it. I don't want to go to any super bowl parties. I wanted to sit in the dark, quiet, and watch it.
Tom Segura
But you Must have really enjoyed it.
H. Foley
I mean, not. Not because I kept thinking, like, this fucking guy's gonna come back, right?
Kevin Ryan
If anybody could have done, you know, it's him.
Tom Segura
But there's a point where like, it was probably in the third or the dagger. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, this is, this is happening also.
Tom Segura
It was such a beat down.
Kevin Ryan
Crazy.
Tom Segura
I've never, I've never ever Ass kicking. Also, like, the. The Vegas people must have made out because there's no way people were betting with these types of spreads.
Kevin Ryan
No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, no way.
H. Foley
No.
Kevin Ryan
It was also very like the Philly mentality is like, we don't win. Like. Like we have to eke out weight. Like, you know, it's just very much like tooth and nail. And then to have that, you're like, what the.
H. Foley
Oh.
Tom Segura
I mean, I. It's just so crazy to see not just how good you guys looked, but like, how bad they look.
Kevin Ryan
Wild.
Tom Segura
They looked so bad. You know what it looked like? It looked like when the. Well, sometimes when like an old mean coach makes his JV team play the bar and they're like, these guys are way bigger and stronger and like, this is not cool. Someone's gonna get really hurt. That's what it looked like. It looked like two different leagues of teams. Really.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
There was a guy in Philly in the 60s, I think he ended up becoming one of the managers of this restaurant I worked at when I was a kid. The Blue bell in his name was Jack Friel, Philly legend. He was the coach of a Catholic school in Philly. The night before, like the city championship or whatever it was, the varsity team got in trouble for like drinking or something like that. Starts. Benches them all. Starts. The JV team wins the city championship.
Tom Segura
What?
H. Foley
Or the Stab. Not sure what it was, but that's something.
Tom Segura
There should be a movie about it.
H. Foley
That's what I'm talking about.
Tom Segura
Some of these old guys, like, right before I got to my high school in Florida, when I transferred there from Milwaukee, we. The old, like, you could just tell the guy's mean AD was the. Also. The high school was also the football coach. And he transferred out. So I never. I got to see him when I moved there. And then by the time spring came around, he was gone. And they were like, oh, yeah, he's a piece of shit. And they go, he would like. Like one time, I remember I tried to. I asked one of the kids in my class, I was like, why don't you play football? He's like, I'm not doing that anymore. And I go, why? He goes, well, that guy, he goes just for his own amusement, one time made me, like, run full speed at a. He was a freshman at a senior, and just to, like. And the senior was like, the big Juice guy. Yeah, he was like, just 40. 40 yards sprint at him. And the senior knocked him out, like, sent him into the. Like, unconscious. And he was like, yeah, that was the last time I go, yeah, that's not.
H. Foley
That's a life lesson. What are you talking about? Come on.
Tom Segura
The next guy's not gonna make you do that. He was like, I'm done with that. I'm not doing that again. He just did it to, like, bully.
H. Foley
Yeah. That's why his kids are soft now, Tommy.
Tom Segura
That's right. That is why kids. Do you see the Rick Patino thing?
Kevin Ryan
That's crazy.
H. Foley
Now, what happened?
Tom Segura
Dude, you gotta pull this up. This. This is so great. I just saw this.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, wait. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.
Tom Segura
It's. Go to Bleacher Report on Instagram. They. Rick Patino still at it. He's been coaching.

H. Foley
Basketball player, dig in.
Tom Segura
This is halftime.
H. Foley
Every time you miss a shot, your game deflates. We don't care about your missed shots. Play defense.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, you guys keep blowing opportunity upon opportunity upon opportunity. You're like children with bad things happening.
H. Foley
Instead of digging in and be tougher, you wilt. Where is your toughness? Where have you guys been raised that you're so weak mentally that you just give up when something doesn't go right for you? Don't you know what adversity is all about? That's the game of life, not the game of basketball. You don't get down when things go wrong.
Kevin Ryan
You dig in and get tougher.
H. Foley
Your whole life's gonna be adversity. Learn how to deal with it. Let's go right.
Kevin Ryan
God damn. That's scripted, dude.
Tom Segura
So leave that. That's that. They're down 13.13 at halftime. Come back and win this game.

It's half time. Yeah. And if you scroll down, it's just. Everybody's just ready to be like, I want to play.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Those shit crazy. Yeah, that's fucking. I mean, like, I've always shocked by coach. Like, as performers, you're like, how did you hit all of those notes? Perfect. Like they build the emotion that then it's like how do they do that? Off the cuff is crazy.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it's great.
H. Foley
Think he likes it? Eddie V's, huh? Sit down. Baseball steak with him, get you straightened out.
Tom Segura
You guys are like children. I mean, you know, you're sitting there.
Kevin Ryan
Where were you raised? Meanwhile he's screaming at dudes that are like 6, 14, 40. Just like where were you raised?
H. Foley
Like, ah, that's what you need. All my coaches in high school and college were like that and I loved it.
Tom Segura
It's great, right?
H. Foley
Oh, it was the best.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it was the best. I love coaches that were because that there's this line you want them to be tough but care about you.
H. Foley
Of course.
Tom Segura
And like some coaches don't know the like that you have to have both. But if they care about you, they can say anything they want to you.
H. Foley
I remember my football coach in high school saying he was, he was hard on us me like they were, he came in when I was a junior and then like my senior year they'd gotten their foot under them and stuff like that and they really wanted to build a program and so he was, he was hard on us to like, you know, get everybody ready as the program moved forward. And I think I or another one of my buddies who he always like, you know, was just strong on was like, you know, why do you yell at us so much? And he was like, when I stop yelling that's when you should worry.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's true.
H. Foley
Always stuck with me.
Kevin Ryan
Sounds pretty emotionally abusive if you ask me. I'm doing it for your own good. Jesus Christ. Crazy.
H. Foley
We like that stuff back then. It was crazy.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Tom Segura
When they yell at you when you know the guy gives a about you and he says that it fire, it fires you up. You're like, yeah, I'm letting him down, letting myself down.
H. Foley
It like radicalizes you. You're like let's go, let's go dude.

Like, she would be sweet, but also had this, like, sure. Fly off the handle. I remember one time she. She had ended up in the hospital. I think she had fainted at a lamp store or something like that. And we went to the hospital.
Kevin Ryan
Smells like a slip.
Tom Segura
And she goes, I had a stroke. I had a stroke. And we were like, oh. And then the doctor was like. He took us outside. He was like, she didn't have a stroke. And we were like, what? He's like, she didn't have a stroke. You know, she fell. But her mother, who was going through a Lot of things was like, the attention.
Kevin Ryan
Livia.
H. Foley
Gotcha.
Tom Segura
And then I made a fatal error, which is that I was bedside with her, and I decided to try to lighten the mood with a joke. And it was a sil. It was like a simple, playful joke. I was like, well, you know, when we get out of here, you know, would you like to go dancing or something? Maybe we can go for. Find a nice club to go dancing at tonight. And she was like, dancing. I had stroke. Nobody can dance. And I was like, oh. And I thought it would be, like, playfully dismissed.

H. Foley
Yeah. That was why. It was a great episode, man. Christina's awesome.
Tom Segura
She's great.
Kevin Ryan
It was the most requested longest away to get. And, like, we don't do episodes outside of the studio. Like, we've turned down a lot of people of like, no, just. We're not doing it.
Tom Segura
But there's this. There's a special level.
Kevin Ryan
But I was like, we have to, you know.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Because I'm not coming to New York. I'm like, I picked up on that over the past three.

That's right.
Kevin Ryan
Josh said they had a point. We had to push it 30 minutes. She's like. She's. She's at the emergency room right now. Something, something. She's bleeding. And I'm like, we can stabbed her.
H. Foley
What's going on over there?
Kevin Ryan
We can cancel this.
Tom Segura
She told me. She goes, I cut myself. I just cut myself, by the way, with the same knife. So maybe we should get rid of these.
Kevin Ryan
Cigars are a little.
Tom Segura
And I. I filleted open my finger. It was gnarly. And I was trying to, like, just wrap it myself. And I was bleeding through it. I was like, I gotta go. So I. I went to urgent care and they put stere strips and everything on. I was just lazy, trying to slice something through my finger. She saw these. My kids are always grabbing scissors, screwdrivers.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. They sound like great kids. From what. I mean, I've never met them. You. I mean, I love you and Christina. These kids I hope I never meet. I hope by the time they're. By the Time. They're adults. They're in the. The correct facility.
Tom Segura
Those little, like, little electric cars that like kids drive power wheels. The miniature ones that you probably want, you zip around. So they have a couple older ones that like, they don't really use anymore. And I walk up the other day and they're just like. There's no steering wheel, there's two tires on.
Kevin Ryan
Took it to a chop shop.
Tom Segura
The door is off the other one. And I was like, what the happened? So I grabbed them, like, what happened? They were like, oh, we've been, we've been hitting them with hammers. I go, why? And they're like, they don't work. So we just, we put. We took them to the shop. And I go, who? What's the shop? And then they both pulled out hammers and they just like, you can't blame.
H. Foley
Good as new, Pop.
Tom Segura
Yeah. And I was like, this is cool, guys.
H. Foley
Man. Yeah, Terrors.
Tom Segura

Little rascals.
Kevin Ryan
They sound like criminals, dude.
H. Foley
Yeah, Little rascals. Yeah, they got a lot of spunk. Stab their mother.
Tom Segura
You know their favorite thing to do with me, they call it torture time. So they go, it's torture time. And I go, okay, so that means you clear the bed. And I jump, I get on the bed and then they pummel me, right? But like, they get like really, like, they punch, they choke me. They like. And I'm supposed to like. I get to pin them. And then as soon as they go, hey, I have to let go. I was doing that and I had one leg locked like I had one, man.
Kevin Ryan
A dad's leg lock will fuck you up.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah. And I, and I, I stopped paying attention to him. And I'm with this guy and then I just. He's like, he just starts crying. I go, well, he goes, your ass.
H. Foley
Is close to my face.
Tom Segura
And I go, okay, okay, sorry. Then he calls for his mom, dad put me by his asshole. And I'm like, I didn't put you by my asshole. Yeah.
H. Foley

Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
And then find out she, she and I. I know she was maybe doing it half jokingly, but also think Maybe she didn't want to admit this. She said she got bit by a snake. I don't think she wanted to admit that. That her son stabbed her.
Tom Segura
She. He went. He had a knife, and she went to grab it, and then he didn't let go. So then her hand went and sliced it.
H. Foley
Sure.
Tom Segura
I mean, there's been snakes, too. One time they. They caught a copperhead, which is crazy. And they put him in a cooler, and then they put on their own. Well, with her cousin. Her cousin's like, three years older than they.
Kevin Ryan
That's on their own.
Tom Segura
Yeah. And then they caught a copper, a copperhead, which is very dangerous. Put it in the cooler. Put the cooler on the trampoline. And then I go, what the. Why are you doing that? And then my nephew was like, I secured the premises. That's what he said. He goes, everything's secure.
H. Foley
Did you know there was a snake in the cooler?
Tom Segura
No. I go, what. What is that? What is that?

They are the best, though, I gotta say. These. They are. They. All the stories I tell are like, people. People who don't have multiple boys go like, huh? And then every kid who. Everybody who has boys is like, yeah, Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, it was the same thing with me and my brother. Like, we were law. It was lawless. Yeah. My mom was a single mom. My dad was. You know, it was split custody, so it was like. I mean, at one point, they were like, we weren't allowed home alone together. I just, like, stay after school because we would just fist fight. Like, it would just be like. It would be hell in the cell until my mom got home.
Tom Segura
These how kids, like, adjust your. Your emotions. So yesterday I hear this banging, and I'm like, what is this? And I get out and they had taken, you know, like, stretch. Like workout bands. Yeah, they'd taken a band, and they put it around a different type of toy car, and they're pulling it, but it's hitting the walls. So I go, hey, guys, look at the wall. Like, it's all banged up. And I go, take that off. And, you know, don't do it again. And I go, now I have to have this touched up. Like, you. You up the wall. I have to pay for that. And then my oldest, he goes, I could do It. And I go, get the hammer. I got. No, I go, you don't. I don't want you to do it. I want it to look good so I would have a professional do it. He goes, it's just a little paint. I go again.
Kevin Ryan
It's also like, you're. You're getting in a fight with him.
Tom Segura
I go, it's not happening. You're not doing it.
Kevin Ryan
Listen, you don't have the steady hand to do that, okay?
Tom Segura
You're definitely not doing it. You're going to cost me money by doing this nonsense. And then I'm, you know, I'm fired up. And I go, yeah, just don't do, like that. He goes, or maybe don't get so upset about a little bit of paint.
H. Foley
Hey, maybe stop being a.
Tom Segura
And I'm like. And because he's right, he's not wrong.
Kevin Ryan
You're like, all the stuff you have going on, you're. You're worried about pain. I'm like, yeah, of course.
H. Foley
What are they, three years old apart?
Tom Segura
Yeah, two and. Two and a half.
H. Foley
Yeah. Me and my dude, it was the same thing. We were nightmares. One year, we. We had just moved from upstate Pennsylvania down to outside of Philly. And the. The down by Philly, everything was way more expensive. So we were like. My parents were kind of struggling. Yeah, we're living in a townhouse. They were trying to give us a good life. They were working their asses off and all this stuff. And my mom, every year she would wrap all the Christmas presents, like, and put them. Hide some stuff, but put a majority of them in one of the, like, rooms downstairs, like, where she wrapped them up. But there'd be no labels on them. You know what I mean? So, like, oh, these are for your cousins and all that kind of stuff. My mom's working, like, a triple shift somewhere. My dad's away. Me and my brother are home by ourselves. Maybe we're like, 12. I'm 12, he's 14. And my brother walks in. I'm sitting there watching TV. He comes in, he's got a brand new sneaker in his hand. And I'm like, where the fuck did you get that? And he's like, come here. Brings us. Brings me into the room. He got a razor blade and slit open the presents, and we slid them out. So once we realized we could do that, we looked at every single one. I got this. I got Sega. I got this. Unbelievable. We piece it back together. Perfect crime. Don't do it right. We put it back. Next day, go to School, come home. Usually my mom's there. My dad doesn't get home until. Whenever he's sitting at the kitchen table, he's like, your mom's over at your aunt's. She's hysterically crying. Busted. Ruined Christmas. It was like one of those times. Like, no yelling.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
Just quiet. Like, bad, bad.
Kevin Ryan
We did the same thing. But we me, we would start when starter jackets hit early 90s hot. My brother, same thing with this. Four years older than me. And here's a. My brother's a loose cat. Especially as a kid. He was a lunatic.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
So he. Same thing. He come upstairs, go back all the way into the deep behind the closet behind the clothes, starter jackets. And my mom's in the kitchen. And we walk. He's like, let's go downstairs with them on. I remember being like, this ain't a good. I was like, six. I'm like, I don't know. He's like, look at this. Look what I found. Mom. She's like, you, Pete, like, just broke down. First time I ever heard her say, you said you ruined Christmas. And I was like, all right, let's go to Dad's for a couple of days.
Tom Segura
Wow.
H. Foley
That's what boys do.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
It's tough. I mean, like, I look back at, like, what we did. To my mind also, because they were divorced. I was like, he would just be a dick to my mind. Like, now you just, you know, you're like a boy. You're like, I'll do whatever the fuck. There's no father figure in the house.
Tom Segura
Yeah. One of my kids gave a C note to a kid in school the other day.
H. Foley
What?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
He's got that kind of cash.
Tom Segura
I. I was like, what the man? I go, what? He goes, hey, don't get upset. No one's upset. And I go, okay, what for? He's like, he's a good kid.
Kevin Ryan
Good kid. Smart kid. Could use it.
H. Foley
Straighten him out.
Tom Segura
I go, what are you talking about? Walking around, he's a really good kid. I just want to do something nice for him. I was like, you don't have to.
H. Foley
Do that for people.
Tom Segura
You don't have to give them cash.
H. Foley
Where do you get the 100 from?
Tom Segura
I don't fucking. No.
Kevin Ryan
He stole it from me.
H. Foley
Jesus.
Tom Segura
Yeah. I don't know, man. Yeah. I was like, okay. I go, can we just. I go, I'm not mad at you. Can we just make sure that we are not in the practice of giving cash?
H. Foley
Who dimes him out for something like that?
Tom Segura
Dude, school calls yeah. Oh, yeah.
Kevin Ryan
They probably got them on speed dial, dude.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Ryan
They were walking around like Henry Hill.
H. Foley
To give what the kid. Write him out and say, hey, he gave me $100.
Tom Segura
I think a teacher saw it. Teacher saw it and was like, is that a hundred dollar bill? And they were like, yeah, what do.
H. Foley
You think, you dumb broad? I got twenties. Hey, it's a hundred. There's a little something for yourself. Keep the chocolate milk cold.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah. It was very.
H. Foley
Don't wear that perfume tomorrow either. I can't concentrate. Huh?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Trying to spell over here.
H. Foley
Giraffe.
Tom Segura
I don't know.
H. Foley
That's right.
Tom Segura
So, yeah, he. I don't know. Man, those kids are. Yeah, they're wild. That's funny. Wait, let's talk about money. Okay, so what's.
Kevin Ryan
Can I have some.
Tom Segura
What's going on?
Kevin Ryan
Get your son.
H. Foley
You're the kid in here.
Tom Segura
Is your spending out of control?
H. Foley
I mean, I'm not. We're not buying tigers or anything like that. You know, things happen quickly.
Tom Segura
Do you. Okay, so you're an impulse buyer. Is that the thing?
H. Foley
Is, am I in. I'm just an idiot, man. He's. He's been smart. He's been good.
Kevin Ryan
I. It took me like two years to.
Tom Segura
Last time I saw you, or at least we were podcasting, you were like. You were debating about a car. Do you remember this?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Like, I want to get this car. I don't know about that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Segura
But what did you end up getting?
Kevin Ryan
I got two.
H. Foley
What, you bought two?
Kevin Ryan
Oh, yeah, I bought two. Well, that car. So I had a Kia that got stolen by the Kia. Boys shout out to. The Kia.
Tom Segura
Boys shout out to.
Kevin Ryan
That got stolen. So I bought a used Mercedes from Carvana that I'm pretty sure was in a flood.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
Little swampy, a little musty.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
But the way I look at it is, like, I've never had a nice car. I've always. I've always had. The first new car I ever had was a Kia. Before that, I had, like, a Mercury Montego. And before that, I had a Chevy Lumina. Actually had three Chevy Luminance. I kept crashing and then. But they were like 800 lumen. They were like 800 bucks at the time.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
So I would crash them and then. Or they break or whatever. And then my mom be like, I can give you 400 bucks to a new Lumina.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I just had to come up with another four out. So we just kept replacing Lumina's with Luminas. And so then I bought Alumina. I thought, you know.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Cuz, you know, people buy nice cars and I don't. I'm not like a car guy by any means.
H. Foley
And I just smoke cigs in there too.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, you gotta. It's a fucking car. It's a 95 Chevy Lumina, dude. You know, put a little 50 cent and relive.
Tom Segura
You have a new. You got a new one?
Kevin Ryan
No, I bought a 95.
Tom Segura
Oh, you bought it?
Kevin Ryan
Cost me eight grand to buy a 1995.
Tom Segura
How's it running?
Kevin Ryan
It wouldn't. It wouldn't get out of reverse last time I. Yeah, that's it. I got. I got like a powder blue one of those.
Tom Segura
It wouldn't get out of reverse.
Kevin Ryan
Nah. So it's not. It's not inspection.
H. Foley
Who's running away, huh? Moving forward, baby.
Tom Segura
Okay, so.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. So that. That cost me. That was like a big thing for my childh though. Like I just was like, that will be cool. I just want to zip around with my boys and just like.
Tom Segura
Do you do any type of saving?
Kevin Ryan
I do. The one thing I was able to do well, I bought a house.
Tom Segura
Oh.
Kevin Ryan
I bought a house in the suburbs. A little. Little fixer upper.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
That'll be like the plan to get out of the city at some point. Because the city is.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Going to. Dude, is it crazy?
Tom Segura
Why?
Kevin Ryan
Currently in my neighborhood actively for like three weeks, four weeks now. There's a guy just running around taunting women.
Tom Segura
Is the word taunting.
Kevin Ryan
Just like you. I'll kill you. And then like scaring away. Don't you know? And the cops are like, we can't do anything.
Tom Segura
Yeah. You're allowed to say that.
Kevin Ryan
You're allowed to say like. You know what I mean? Like, you're allowed to tell a baby you're gonna kill it. And that's what he's doing.
Tom Segura
Cool.
Kevin Ryan
So they can't arrest him. So he's just wandering around doing that.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
So like the plan would be in a couple of years, you know, start spending more time in the. In the burbs.
Tom Segura
But I like it.
Kevin Ryan
So I've been able to. And it's just. It's.
H. Foley
I going anywhere.
Kevin Ryan
It's funny because it's a long time. He's jammed up. It's. There are a sponsor but acorns shout out to. I downloaded that through. I'm just as bad as money with him.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
I've. The way like we. Way I look at it. Like I've been. I've spent every dollar I've ever made.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Up until, like, two years ago.
Tom Segura
Say not now. Right now. You're not spent.
Kevin Ryan
Two years ago. I had to clean up. We were. It was tag. It was taxes. We were just. Because I was still running the books at the time, which we got a. But I'm pretty good. But it got above my pay grade.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
And we were. It was coming in and I'm just going, here, take care if. I'll take care if. We'll figure this out next year.
H. Foley
And I've never learned anything like.
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
H. Foley
I vaguely remember having an accounting class in high school, but I don't. I know I didn't pass it, so I have it.
Tom Segura
But now that you. Now that, like, you've been doing this for the podcast has obviously grown. It's become successful. You're. You're selling tickets on the road. Are you. When you get money now, do you put some aside for, like, taxes and. Or.
Kevin Ryan
Well, we got a business manager.
H. Foley
Yeah, we took. Yeah, we took that out of our control.
Kevin Ryan
So he doesn't.
Tom Segura
He's doing.
Kevin Ryan
That's new. So that's this year. This year is the first year I don't have to kind of wipe out my savings to pay taxes.
Tom Segura
Good.
Kevin Ryan
So that's pretty cool.
Tom Segura
And then he should be also easy talking to you about a pension.
Kevin Ryan
Not there yet.
Tom Segura
No, like the. Like, you don't have to start with a lot, but, like, just contributing because, you know, we were saying, I'm 49.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
He's gonna. He's gonna have to tap into it like six years. Yeah.
H. Foley
I got the acorns. Well, when I'm 88, I'll have a couple of milk.
Kevin Ryan
He looks at that. Because they give you. If you keep the. If you keep contributing this, it'll be whatever.
Tom Segura
Look, there's no. You're never too late to contribute to something that you can tap into after your retirement age. That's what I'm saying. You're not going to want to hustle the same level when you're an older guy. Right.
Kevin Ryan
So. Sure.
H. Foley
I am an older.
Kevin Ryan
He is an older guy. He's older than you.
H. Foley
Am I. I guess I'm 49.
Tom Segura
Well, then. Yeah. What are you, 45?
H. Foley
He's doing pretty good.
Tom Segura
I just have a lot more gray.
Kevin Ryan
This guy's all right. Yeah. I mean, we'll be all right. Yeah, I think you will be.
H. Foley
I have just bad was. I'm just.
Tom Segura
All I'm saying is this.
H. Foley
Like, I'm in panic mode now.
Tom Segura
I learned this, too. I learned this, too. I learned this, too. Which is like, I've had different business managers and stuff. Nobody.
Kevin Ryan
Do you trust them? I trust my guy, I think, but blindly.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I just know he uses other guy like me. It's my friend's guy. Like, he's the arts, our peers guy.
Tom Segura
And I'm like, no, if you have a good.
Kevin Ryan
Listen, he's not going to be stealing 10 grand for me. He's going to be stealing that guy's 10 million.
Tom Segura
This is what you learn.
Kevin Ryan
Learn.
Tom Segura
What you learn is that you can hire the absolute best, best, best of the best, and nobody will ever look after your money like you, with more concern than you. Right.
H. Foley
I don't know if that's true.
Tom Segura
All. All you have to do. What I'm saying is. Yes, have you. You should trust somebody. If this is a trustworthy person, trust them. Right, but ask for a, A monthly report.
Kevin Ryan
Look, I got access to the. But I'm so nuts. I got access to. So then we moved banks to like, you know, they move it to like, they don't use TD bank, right? They go to. They go to rich guy banks that don't have storefronts, which is shady to begin with.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
I used to work for very wealthy rich families and they were all. It's like Sterling bank or, you know, all these things.
Tom Segura
You're like, where's that?
Kevin Ryan
Well, yeah, give me an ATM card. Let me go get my cash. But they don't do that.
Tom Segura
But ask. Here's what I'm saying. Ask for like a monthly.
Kevin Ryan
Well, I have access to the. I have a login to the account.
Tom Segura
Okay. But then also, I'm so nuts.
Kevin Ryan
I think they might make that up. Just like.
Tom Segura
No, they're not making it up. They're not making it up.
Kevin Ryan
I'm crazy, though. In my head, I'm like, if I was robbing you, yeah. I would go make a fake fucking landing page that says he has this much money and make a list of transactions.
Tom Segura
Well, look, it might be a Ponzi scheme and in which case, you know, best of luck. But in the, in the idea that it's not, which I hope it's not, and there's somebody who's taking care of you. Just. All I'm saying is ask for things and ask questions. And you are only going to get where you want to be if you tell this person what your goals are. Because what will happen is if you go my. I'm just giving example. If you're like, my goal is like, I want to buy a house in this neighborhood. And you don't mention it. Things are happening, and then when all of a sudden you want to do it, they're like, well, we didn't know that. Like, they can help you structure.
H. Foley
I don't know what that is, though. I don't know what my goals are. A little cash on me. Okay, well, walking around, do you have any debt? I ask you personal questions.
Tom Segura
Well, I'm saying that could be a goal.
H. Foley
I got a credit card bill. I pay it, though.
Tom Segura
Okay. I'm saying, I'm giving you examples.
Kevin Ryan
Non revolving debt. Do you have any longer term?
H. Foley
What's non revolving?
Kevin Ryan
Like, that's not due at the end of every month. See, I know that. Revolving debt.
H. Foley
Why wouldn't it be due at the end of the month?
Kevin Ryan
Like a car loan isn't revolving debt.
H. Foley
I got a lease.
Tom Segura
Okay, that's fine.
H. Foley
I got my rent.
Tom Segura
Do you want to not have to work one day?
H. Foley
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Okay. That'd be one of your goals. Then tell them that. Tell them that.
H. Foley
I could do that now.
Kevin Ryan
Okay, let's go back.
Tom Segura
Do you have a house?
H. Foley
No.
Tom Segura
Then maybe you want to get one one day.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Tom Segura
I'm just saying to tell them. Tell them what you have on your mind. Don't assume that they'll know what it is your goal is. That's all I'm saying.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. No, I agree. I agree. I actually just did that. I was like, hey, man, what would it look like if I got it? Like, when can I buy an apartment? Yeah, right. Just because rent New York.
Tom Segura
So crazy.
Kevin Ryan
Running the. Just running the scenarios. Because he's like, these are the stuff you need to think about.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
So I go, what would that look like? And he sent it back. He's like, send me one. You like a very modest one. Like one or two bedroom, you know, really? Like a one and a half bedroom.
Tom Segura
And what did it look like? It.
Kevin Ryan
Look, he was like, well, scenario one, you put this one down, and this is what you're left with. Like. Like, this is what you're left with.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
And this is what you're left with. And this is what you're left with. And then they. All three of them were in the red.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Like, he'd be like, you'd be Left with negative $25,000.
H. Foley
Okay. And I. I didn't.
Kevin Ryan
Well, yeah, yeah.
Tom Segura
But here's the thing.
Kevin Ryan
He doesn't think, but, like, I have money in, like, at 8, like a retirement account. I'm like, well, let's cash that out and buy a house.
Tom Segura
No, no, no, no, no.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that's the rich guys don't think like that.
H. Foley
What do you mean?
Tom Segura
Don't do that.
Kevin Ryan
No, I wasn't. Nice. Shake it up.
H. Foley
I shake it up. I didn't involve him in the planning of. Of my wedding, which, looking back, that.
Kevin Ryan
Would have been a good time. Yeah, he was hitting them up for payments early.
Tom Segura
What did this wedding look like?
H. Foley
Beautiful. Tommy really had a nice time.
Tom Segura
It's Hawaii.
H. Foley
It's Hawaii.
Tom Segura
Beautiful place.
H. Foley
Beautiful.
Tom Segura
You get married on the beach?
H. Foley
Yeah. Place called Lani Koanua, in. In. In Oahu, over at Koalina.
Tom Segura
Beautiful, gorgeous.
Kevin Ryan
And I gotta. I gotta give it to the fans. I thought it was gonna be a clusterfuck.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
He's never planned anything really, for the tours, the show. Like, you know, he's.
H. Foley
Which I didn't really plan any of it.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. But I'm just like, this guy can't book flights. Like, how. How is this all gonna go off without a. Yeah. You know? And I mean, do they. We got there to say the ceremony was whatever, 4 to 4, 20, right. If then at the end you go and get a drink. Little 10 minutes of cocktail hour.
H. Foley
Former lieutenant governor did the wedding. A nice quartet.
Kevin Ryan
Sun starts going down, greeting drinks. You see the sunset perfectly hit the horizon. 15 minutes. Everybody pay for that? That wasn't cheap.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah. No, none of it is. Weddings are, you know.
H. Foley
How much does it cost to get a sunset? How.
Tom Segura
Wait, how many guests?
H. Foley
150.
Kevin Ryan
Shit.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I told you briefly. I walked in, I went, who the fuck is paying for. This is crazy.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it was.
H. Foley
You are dickhead.
Kevin Ryan
I know.
Tom Segura
That's incredible.
Kevin Ryan
You're gonna have me work until I'm fucking 70?
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
He keeps going. We need a Big Year. You need a Big Year.
Tom Segura
Four years.
H. Foley
Yeah, it was. Yeah. I didn't. I just didn't understand it. I mean, I'm an idiot. You know what I mean? We. This, you know, this is the first thing that's worked out for us. We can't be. Can't be more grateful.
Kevin Ryan
Course.
H. Foley
And. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's like it was kind of there. Like, all right.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
You know, then it just kind of adds up. And then, you know, man. What? It was really getting close. I was like, fuck, Am I going to be able to physically pay for this?
Tom Segura
So what happens?
Kevin Ryan
He was it. We get like a monthly check, like, deposit. Sure. You know, we'll. We'll take the Rand and pay all the other stuff. Dude, it was like November. He's like, can I get December and January as well, there's some of good faith.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
H. Foley
If that didn't happen, I would have.
Kevin Ryan
It would have been.
H. Foley
Yeah, it would have been bad.
Tom Segura
Really?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
And I came back in January, like, ew, straighten me out. Because here was the thing, and it was.
Kevin Ryan
He was working with it. He's like, what do you need? Oh, you can. We can, like, the. The business managers, like, we can figure this out. You know what I mean?
Tom Segura
Yeah, yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I'm gonna let you be bouncing checks. And Honolulu.
H. Foley
The main panic was, and I didn't realize this as we were getting closer to the. To the finish line, is that, you know, we got a room block for everybody that was coming over. Okay. Which everybody, I mean, got banged out. I got my whole family flying to Hawaii at Christmas. These guys came in for, like, three days.
Kevin Ryan
Okay? I came in for, like, had to leave 55 hours.
H. Foley
Everybody's a little tense, but wedding was beautiful. Everybody had a great time. But I never did a room block before. I just assumed that if you get a room block, you're getting, like, a special, you know, you, little discount because you got people coming in. It turns out that whatever I tell them, like, if I say, hey, I want 75 nights, you know, broken, you know, broken up, like, you know, ten nights. Ten nights. Ten nights, you know, whatever. I'm responsible for that.
Kevin Ryan
Dude.
H. Foley
He was 75 nights at a hotel, at a beachfront hotel at Christmas in Hawaii. Oh, my God. I signed the contract. And then I was, like, talking to the lady, and I'm like, so wait, what does this. What does this mean? She's like, well, you know, if for some reason that you only hit, like, you know, say, 50 nights, you're going to be financially responsible for those other 25 nights.
Tom Segura
Holy.
H. Foley
So around, I would say, August of this year, I was basically working for this hotel, pitching to my family.
Kevin Ryan
People started dropping like flies, too.
Tom Segura
They did?
H. Foley
Yeah. Oh, we're gonna stay over here. All my friends got it. Your friends got a place, got the pool.
Bert Kreischer
What are you talking about?
Tom Segura
So how many did you have to end up covering because you.
H. Foley
None. It all worked out.
Tom Segura
Okay.
H. Foley
Yeah, it all worked out. Oh, it would have.
Tom Segura
No, that's stressful. That is stressful. Just thinking about it, I just.
H. Foley
I just would have swam out in the ocean and just kept going. I would have been done.
Tom Segura
If they were, like, good news. You only have to pay for 19 nights for people that didn't come.
H. Foley
Let me put you this way. When we got back from the. When we got back from the wedding, I was. I Was on the bed fucking ripping open envelopes.
Tom Segura
Holy shit.
H. Foley
Yeah, that's. Yeah, but it was nice. Good, good times. And we.
Kevin Ryan
Kippy, we had a good time.
Tom Segura
You had a good time.
Kevin Ryan
Beautiful.
Tom Segura
What's. Let me ask you this because the. For everybody watching right now, you're either gonna know that tomorrow or if you're seeing this after that. There's a special out on YouTube. It's on the Ru. Garbage YouTube page.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Tom Segura
It's the Route 66 tour special. So it encompasses, like a bunch of stuff you guys did on the road. You documented like a whole tour. What happens now? It comes out. Are you guys going back on the road? What's. What's.
H. Foley
Yeah, we're resuming our regular tour. We go back out. We go back out in early. Early March to do a run. We're going to do a run in April. We're going to take a little time off in the summer from the road. And then we got. We got an AC show. And then we'll. We'll start back up touring in the fall.
Kevin Ryan
Pick back up in the fall. But yeah, back. You know, this.
H. Foley
This was different. This was our big thing again. Also.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
Financially irresponsible. We sunk everything we had into this.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Like. Yeah. Also another thing we're doing.
H. Foley
What are we doing here?
Kevin Ryan
So our new. The one thing we want to do as a, you know, is we want to buy. We're like, let's buy a conversion.
H. Foley
Do you have an Acorns account?
Kevin Ryan

Tom Segura
Yeah.
H. Foley
Nice, though.
Kevin Ryan
So I run that by the business manager.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Kevin Ryan
And he's like, absolutely. What? Absolutely not. He's like, you got to insure this thing. You got to put it in a garage in New York. I'm like, yeah, but, like, we'll just pay a guy to drive us to whole drive to Pittsburgh. Yeah, we'll land in Pittsburgh then. Because we do like strings of one nighters.
Tom Segura
Yes.
Kevin Ryan
You know what I mean? Like, clubs are on the weekend, theaters on the weekend. So it's like we're out for a week. Like, you're paying sprinter. I'm like, this guy, I'll just buy. I'll just get my buddy Ryan to just drive us around the Midwest.
H. Foley
He's like, saving that new brush and shit.
Kevin Ryan
He's like, dude, there's no way this will ever financially make sense. He's like, you're going out on the road, 30 cities next year, right? I'm like, yeah, sure. He's like, that means it's. You use it one month out of 12 months.
H. Foley
It's got captain chair.

And we were playing different places, and I go, are they coming to pick you up? And he was like, oh, no, no, no. He's like, no one ever picks me up. And I thought he meant, like, disrespectfully. I was like, what? He goes, oh, I refuse. Yeah, like, what do you mean, you refuse? He's like, these don't know how to drive. They're nuts. I rent a car in every city I go to. And I was like, you're out of your mind, right? Ten years later, every other time I get picked up in a city, it is some yahoo who is, like, talking to me.
Kevin Ryan
