Playing the, Playing the card game.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
Mm. I wanted to ask you this. I had a little situation yesterday that reminded me of something very, very trashy.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
I was. I was at a business. I made a purchase. Okay. A very old school business. Some old school people behind the counter. I believe it was a mother and a daughter that worked there.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. Can I ask you what kind of place this was and why you're being so vague about it?
H. Foley
I wasn't, I wasn't being vague.
Kevin Ryan
You weren't being descriptive.
H. Foley
It's not really. It was a bakery.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
It's not important to the story.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
All right. I was picking up a bird. We were picking up a birthday cake for somebody the bird works with.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
I get a little thing, Irish soda bread, though. It's fucking. What do you mean though?
Kevin Ryan
March.
H. Foley
Okay. Anywho, the total came to 2025. And the woman behind the counter goes, Ooh, 2025. That's an easy number. And then I go, you got to play that number tonight. And the daughter goes, I was just about to say the same thing.
Kevin Ryan
That's a dirt bag thing, that D.
H. Foley
Dude, we've been doing that. I gotta play that number tonight. I gotta play that number tonight.
Kevin Ryan
Better. Yeah. Get down to the lotto. Play. That's a daily number right there.
H. Foley
34. 34. You gotta play that.
Kevin Ryan
We were a 3134 family for a very long time. Why my stepdad's race car numbers.
H. Foley
Wait, would that ever come up?
Kevin Ryan
Oh, no. But that's why when I play roulette, I play 31 and 34 in honor of.
H. Foley
Ah, he's at the big.
Kevin Ryan
He's at the big Flemington Raceway in the sky. If you catch my turn. There's his helmet right there, guys. God damn. Guy's a goddamn amateur local race car driver.
H. Foley
Hopefully he's on a heater up there.
Kevin Ryan
He's smoking a heater. If I know him, he's got a heater cranked a Winston soft pack that any Ford Ranger anytime.
H. Foley
A number that, like, somehow had a rhythm to it or made sense. I'm going to play that tonight.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. That was big. And I used to sell those lottery tickets at the Acme. And, man, they would come in and that's a whole language. And it took me a while to learn the 34. 34, 30. They'd come in and they talk to you like you've been doing it. But I just. Hey, let me get 34.39, boxing straight daily pick number. And you're like, fucking. And I would print up tickets. And you can't undo those tickets back in the day. I'm sure you can now, but back in the day, I had to buy the tickets at the end of the. Someone had to buy the tickets at the end of the day.
H. Foley
That was my brother's move back, back in the day, not to go for the big jackpot, go for the little one.
Kevin Ryan
But the daily number, they used to read it like three times. They hit you at nine at lunchtime and at dinner time.
H. Foley
The four. What's it called?
Kevin Ryan
Pick four.
H. Foley
Pick four?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I mean, it's probably pick four, big.
H. Foley
Pick, four guys, big pick.
Kevin Ryan
Because those jackpots were like nine grand, 10 grand, five grand.
H. Foley
That's not crazy.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Yeah. They do two a day. One at noon, one at seven. Love that.
Kevin Ryan
It's just like. It's so funny when you think about it. It's just like old bookie shit. You know what I mean? It's like they're just. They're just running numbers and pumping dope. That's all they. That's all the PA Light.
H. Foley
Your grandmother's neighborhood. No shit. It's crazy. I always wanted to be one of the guys doing that. What I'd love to know if we. If anybody out there has ever done that. Let us know what. Have you ever been the guy drawing the numbers on your local.
Kevin Ryan
Do they still do that?
H. Foley
Yeah, they still do that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, sorry.
H. Foley
They get some broad or whoever.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh.
H. Foley
Somebody from some school.
Kevin Ryan
I never understood how they just got one ball up there that blew my. I would watch that. Like that was NASA technology, big technology.
H. Foley
How you could fix that, how you could know?
Kevin Ryan
I don't think he can. I mean, maybe he can.
H. Foley
I called two of them.
Kevin Ryan
Just film that in the studio three days ahead of time.
H. Foley
When I was like nine years old, I got two of them. We were all sitting there together watching it. And I got like 6 and 7 or something like that.
Kevin Ryan
I'm doing this. Like you're like. You're actually like talking. You're like 14 for a second.
H. Foley
My mom was on her feet. She was about to take me right down to Barnum and Bailey, throw holy water at you.
Kevin Ryan
The fat one's possessed.
H. Foley
Take me to an atm. Start guessing pin numbers. All right, that's neither here nor there, gang. As I said, we're here for a family episode. As you know, when you sign up for the old Patreon there, you could have your question read on the air by Kevin Ryan himself. Whoa, former lottery winner.
Kevin Ryan
You just won a new car.
H. Foley
You've never won, right? The lottery. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Nah, I played scratchers when we were on the road out there in the Midwest, I believe, in Wisconsin.
H. Foley
I saw them over there in the corner. You didn't fucking say nothing, by the way.
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean?
H. Foley
You didn't tell anybody you weren't scratching them?
Kevin Ryan
Well, I wasn't gonna scratch him in a brand new car. That's how you get all the fucking dust off. I did them in the. I did it in the. I did them in my. Whatever room before we left Wisconsin. My hotel room before we left Wisconsin.
H. Foley
Just so we all. Just so we all agree, okay, if you win anything on the road, we all split it. I think that's the gentleman's move.
Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
Yeah, everybody. Anybody in the van dies.
Kevin Ryan
No, I don't agree with that.
H. Foley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
I think if one of the openers or Luki or Ryan Dees wins. I'm not taking their money. Luke's maybe fucking Dempsey Group.
H. Foley
All right, if we win, we'll share it with everybody.
Kevin Ryan
You can share with everybody.
H. Foley
I'll share. Taking my money, but that goes for the losses, too.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What am I doing? Listen, if we were all playing six bucks. Hold on. If we were all playing that'd be one thing. But I'm the only one that ponied up fifty bucks for ten, five. Ten dollar tickets. Nobody else is fucking. So what? They. I'm just. I risk everything and everybody gets the reward. No thank you. That's communism, all right? This is America. We practice capitalism. Put your money on the table. You want to enter the game? You want to buy $50 worth of scratchers? We can commute, we can do that. But I ain't the only one buying scratches to split my fucking prize with my personal money, by the way. I tried to do it on a company card, but I got fucking nixed. That's content. We're shooting content.
H. Foley
Should do it on the company card. That way we could write it off or something like that.
Kevin Ryan
I listen, I tried. That's when I realized I didn't have my company card, which I still cannot find, by the way.
H. Foley
Great.
Kevin Ryan
I thought it was in here. It is.
H. Foley
Whoever has it. I hope you're having a good time.
Kevin Ryan
No, I froze it this morning.
H. Foley
This morning? That was like two weeks ago.
Kevin Ryan
How about a busy couple of weeks? What you want? My wife's pregnant.
H. Foley
What you want from me? Congratulations.
Kevin Ryan
Thank you. All right, let's. Let's friggin get into it here. Okay. This is From Anthony, our $10. Homie here never had one ride, kid can't spell. What?
H. Foley
What?
Kevin Ryan
What's our thoughts on paying the restaurant bill in all cash? We know about tipping in cash is classy, but what about paying the entirety of the bill in cash? I recently went out to eat with my family for my mom's birthday and I paid a $350 tab in all 20s and tens. Felt like the waiter looked. The waiter was looking at me like I sold drugs. Left a 50. $50 tip though. How you doing?
H. Foley
Give me that 350 bill. $50 tip.
Kevin Ryan
I think that's under 20%.
H. Foley
Yeah. Anthony, what are you doing?
Kevin Ryan
That might have been. It might have been a $300 bill, but that's still low, I think.
H. Foley
Crunch those numbers, give them the benefit of the doubt. $300 times 0.20.
Kevin Ryan
That's under. Because $20 would be 60. 20% would be $60.
H. Foley
Is that right?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Whoa. How'd you do that that fast? I can't.
Kevin Ryan
I can spot lottery numbers too. It's just $20. What's 20% of 100?
H. Foley
I don't know. What's 20%?
Kevin Ryan
No, no, no. Let's walk through it. What's 20% of 120? Okay, how many hundreds are in 303. So what's three times 20?
H. Foley
60.
Kevin Ryan
There you go. He did it.
H. Foley
The long way to go to find out Anthony's a cheap son of a bitch. Don't.
Kevin Ryan
Don't fucking Anthony. I think you're a great guy and I'm happy you never have one ride, the tip notwithstanding.
H. Foley
And plus we don't know all the details so we don't want to trash you.
Kevin Ryan
But a little too late for that now. You're dragging his good name.
H. Foley
The server shouldn't have gave you a fucking a funny face that that's what they want. If listen every single restaurant in the. In the world. If they could get by doing cash only, they would. Every server, every restaurant owner, cash only. They would. They would love that because the best restaurants don't take reservations and are cash only.
Kevin Ryan
I'd push back on that now.
H. Foley
Not at all. Not at all. Those old school joints, when you say I'm.
Kevin Ryan
When you can do just wait. You're moving the goalpost. You're. Which I you allow you to do. But you said the best restaurants in the world or the country or wherever don't take reservations or cash. I'd have to push back on you.
H. Foley
You mean like as far as like Michelin and all that kind of stuff?
Kevin Ryan
Just the best restaurant. The restaurants we go to that we really enjoy, that we think are the best. Had, take reservation. They definitely take. They definitely take credit card.
H. Foley
A lot of old school.
Kevin Ryan
Dude. I haven't paid cash in a fucking restaurant building cash in fucking 10 years.
H. Foley
Because they can't get away with it. Okay, so a lot of old school places.
Kevin Ryan
Old school is different than the best that are good.
H. Foley
That are really good. They do that because they can get away. They don't need to do credit cards.
Kevin Ryan
I completely agree with.
H. Foley
People will still show up.
Kevin Ryan
I completely agree with you.
H. Foley
All right. Thank you. So Antony. Fuck that guy.
Kevin Ryan
Now I listen. I do get 10. 2010. This is what it's saying. You're just. You're going. You're just arguing a different point. Tens and twenty. Tens and twenties is a tough look.
H. Foley
Tens are bad.
Kevin Ryan
The twenties are okay are somehow more crackhead than a five because a five means you had money before and had debris. You can get a 10 out of an ATM. That's a tough crazy.
H. Foley
But I used to have to find ATMs that did 10 shout out to.
Kevin Ryan
17Th and diamond in North Philly. I would go take out $10 and spend 550 on a chicken cheesesteak, salt and pepper on the fries popping and a large Diet Pepsi. That's where my love affair for Diet Pepsi.
H. Foley
450 in your pocket.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Pack of heaters. Maybe I get you halfway to a pack. If I had another dollar left over from before.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
That's half. That's. That's a pack of heater. Pack of heaters. Probably five back in the day.
H. Foley
Yeah. Trying to find. It's funny because the nicer banks. When you go to an ATM at like a bank. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Well, how do you want this?
H. Foley
And I.
Kevin Ryan
That's math. I can't do quick.
H. Foley
Well, it figures it out for you.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. It'll just give it. Yeah, I know, but like, it's like. Do you want. I had to take out a guy. I had to pay someone off the books.
H. Foley
Luke.
Kevin Ryan
No, I just. Somebody. What are you talking. What are you in my business for?
H. Foley
Was it me?
Kevin Ryan
I'm doing a comedy bit here. Let's go. And I had to take out a couple hunches, and that was like I. Because I don't like walking around with hundreds. Because you can't use them for nothing. My cash is tips to people. A5 here, there. 20 here. You done? Are you done? I done. Fucking Henry Hill all of a sudden.
H. Foley
Chicken parmesan. Keep them coming.
Kevin Ryan
But I need. I was paying somebody $200. I wanted to give them hundreds. That's a gentleman's bill. Hundreds, hundreds, sure. Tensor tens are grind time.
H. Foley
But isn't it funny that that's a pretty good.
Kevin Ryan
It's grime time.
H. Foley
Isn't it funny?
Kevin Ryan
New shirts coming soon. Grind time.
H. Foley
How they used to look down on people that would go to ATMs like me. Go to 8, have to go to the ATM, try to get $10 out of it. Try to find an ATM with tens. Now the nice banks.
Kevin Ryan
I know, but I don't think they're. You're not just taking out 15 bucks. Sure. You're taking out a couple hundred. Because now I think it's more appointment. Before, you used to have to have cash. Now you're going. Your people are going to. Going, oh, shit. I need. I don't have any cash. I need 70 bucks to give to my roommate. So they're letting you get that 70 bucks right before you're going, I just need cash. I'll go break it. But whatever. Now it's going. Come here. Get cash, because we'll give you exactly what you're looking for. Because Nobody just needs 80 bucks. You need 75.
H. Foley
What'd you just have in your mouth there?
Kevin Ryan
I don't know.
H. Foley
Piece of hair, something. Freak show.
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean? I got a piece of hair in my mouth. I trimmed my pubes earlier that sucked my dick. Oh, wet my. Call that. Wet my whistle. This guy's all over me today.
H. Foley
Softening.
Kevin Ryan
You're like Brian Scalabrini.
H. Foley
Softening the reed.
Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
You know, on the saxophone.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Throw your music microphone.
H. Foley
Okay, Anthony, great question.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I listen. I like painting, Cat. I do agree that it's. If you want to come, like, listen, paint with it. In America, that's legal tender. Paying pennies. That's a dickhead move. But that's your legal right as an American. I would. Tens is a tough look, as you know. That's why he wrote in, if you can level a hundred, you know, whatever. If you can. But I like that move.
H. Foley
You say, stop at a bank and say, hey, can.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, but then it's like, fuck it. Give him the tens. Fuck that guy. He's getting the cash.
H. Foley
That guy. I.
Kevin Ryan
He's getting a 12% tip. Fuck him.
H. Foley
I always get funny looks if I. If I have to do that. If I go to. Because Navy Federal, it's hard to find a branch. Hard to find a branch. But if I go to another bank, take out money, and then go inside, be like, hey, I had to do that for a wedding not that long ago because the ATM only gave 20s. I wasn't gonna give 20s. I went in, I was like, hey, can you change this for hundreds?
Kevin Ryan
Mm. What they say, holding it up in the light.
H. Foley
And I'm pretty sure I gave my cousin a handful. Oh, it is what it is of 20s.
Kevin Ryan
20S are good. Now you need 20s. I'm a 20s and fives guy.
H. Foley
I gave it to the groom with no envelope. I was like, here, this is for you guys.
Kevin Ryan
That's a dirty.
H. Foley
It was. I was like. I handed him a little grenade. He's like, thanks. I'll put it in the box.
Kevin Ryan
Keep that. For you, for you, for you.
H. Foley
But as a. As a former server, I can tell you this. There ain't nothing better when somebody hands you a thing full of cash and says, do you need change? No. Boom, out the door. You doing all right.
Kevin Ryan
And, yeah, you're a good kid, Kent.
H. Foley

Kevin Ryan
All right, this one's from tombow. What's up, $10, homie. Longtime bozo. Ever been on a school bus on the highway? And I don't mean for a field trip, I mean sitting in commuter traffic on the interstate to get to third grade.
H. Foley
Man, I didn't really think about that. The bus never really went on the highway. You were like going up and that was a big day.
Kevin Ryan
You were. If you're going on a field trip on fucking Tuesday, you were talking about that on the Friday before being like, we're going nine. I would probably go down Woodhaven, get all 95.
H. Foley
Sports were different. We used to take it all the time. But. But man, back in the. In grade school. Yeah, it was always a different bus too. I feel like they put you in a little bit better bus if you were going down to the city or getting on the highway.
Kevin Ryan
Ours was the same. Ours. Well, we have much of a dirt bag. I was, I was, I was in charge of logistics back then. I knew that if you were going over two hours, you got a star bus because they had a bathroom on them. Otherwise all these kids be pissing their pants. A bunch of 8 year olds have.
H. Foley
To tie their Starbucks.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that's the brand star S T.
H. Foley
A R. You'd be on like a Chinatown bus.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. With a bedroom.
H. Foley
Really?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. If you were going more than two Hours. Dude, think about. You got. You got.
H. Foley
Why would you be going more than two hours on a school day?
Kevin Ryan
We went to Lancaster. We went to Harrisburg. Went out there and got some pies.
H. Foley
Huh?
Kevin Ryan
Watch those idiot Amish people walk around, take pictures of them.
H. Foley
I don't know if I've ever been on a. Was on a bus.
Kevin Ryan
Like really? Yeah, we had to pay. They cost you too. They were like 50 bucks ahead.
H. Foley
Maybe. Our sixth grade camping trip, we took one of those.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh.
H. Foley
I feel like we drove up with the teachers in cars. That doesn't sound right. Yikes.
Kevin Ryan
That sounds like a molestacion.
H. Foley
I don't remember a lot of it either. Were you a safety back in school? Yes. In grade school you were. You were on the job, huh? You had to.
Kevin Ryan
All sixth graders did it.
H. Foley
Yeah, I didn't qualify.
Kevin Ryan
Or maybe not everybody.
H. Foley
I had flat feet.
Kevin Ryan
I remember. And a fat ass boy's got a dump truck on him.
H. Foley
I didn't pass the psych profile.
Kevin Ryan
You're in there, you got a fucking. You got a gun to your head. You're like listen. And Doc, you ain't never seen like this. Hey listen buddy. I served two. Two tours up by the buses. I've seen some.
H. Foley
I took my badge away.
Kevin Ryan
I remember as a fat kid, I never.
H. Foley
Nobody listened.
Kevin Ryan
No, I did.
H. Foley
I was gonna chase me. Those kids were always dicks.
Kevin Ryan
So we had. I don't know what you guys had, but we had the, the. It was like a. I'd never seen anything. Only the safety bag.
H. Foley
It was an orange thing that went like that and then it clipped and raptor.
Kevin Ryan
Did you ever see that? Imagine like yours didn't pull that out.
H. Foley
You wore yours like a gangster wears a tie hanging down.
Kevin Ryan
I was. I've never expressed. I've never expressed this to another soul. I was so nervous that it was not going to fit starting in fourth grade. So for two whole years I every. I was like, man, I'd be looking. That was like my summer bot. Like I was trying to get my. My beach body was. I was like, by sixth grade I'm gonna lose the weight and be able to fit.
H. Foley
You need a seatbelt extender for your safety strap.
Kevin Ryan
But for whatever reason I. The fucking fat kid gods looked down upon the. And they were. They had a big box of them and they were go. I think I had tried one. All I got my hands on one.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I went to an army navy store or probably tried my brothers on or something. And mine for whatever they were just going through randomly out of a Box. And the one I got was slightly different and bigger.
H. Foley
Uh huh.
Kevin Ryan
And man.
H. Foley
Little different shade of orange.
Kevin Ryan
It was a little lighter. A little lighter orange. Not that deep or not that deep. Tropicana we're talking on. And man, it clicked. Oh, how you couldn't tell me shit. I had a great post. I was down outside the. So I was outside. So the buses come up.
H. Foley
Officer Eyebrows over here.
Kevin Ryan
I really thought I was on the job. I was talking. Hey, Dylan Pinkerton, he was our. Adopt a cop fat motherfucker.
H. Foley
Would you put your plate in your bulletproof vest or.
Kevin Ryan
No, but I would be cool and I would take. The cool kids didn't have it around here. The cool kids had it around the waist.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
And then let like the hoop drag down like a chain. Kind of like a chain wallet.
H. Foley
You do ankle gun or. Right here. I did Serpico style.
Kevin Ryan
I did sold off around the back. Fucking spin it around. What's. What'd you say, Bunk? Get on the bus. I'm chewing gum. I'm just saying I don't want any trouble today.
H. Foley
It's in the trees, Johnny.
Kevin Ryan
I had. I had a great post, dude. Because he got out of class a little early.
H. Foley
Like ten minutes.
Kevin Ryan
Ten minutes.
H. Foley
I mean it was.
Kevin Ryan
It was probably two and a half. But I had to get down to my post. You know what I mean?
H. Foley
Cash in your pension.
Kevin Ryan
Had to relieve the cop who was on duty. You know, I'm sitting in an old like Monte Carlo, like a stakeout. I got a cup of coffee on the dash.
H. Foley
You got a new guy with you. Aren't we going to the office? You're in the office, baby.
Kevin Ryan
I didn't know you.
H. Foley
Smash mouth starts playing.
Kevin Ryan
I didn't know you get wet. I dipped your chicken fingers in Sherm.
H. Foley
How's your Spanish, huh? Better learn that motherfuckers be out here plotting on you.
Kevin Ryan
Kippy.
H. Foley
Ah, shit.
Kevin Ryan
But I was right next to the buses. So when my bus pulled up, 73 purple or whatever it was, I would be the first guy on the bus backseat post it up.
H. Foley
Wait. Why shouldn't you have? You were supposed to let everybody on. Make sure until your bus comes.
Kevin Ryan
Then I'm all duty.
H. Foley
I gotta get my.
Kevin Ryan
I gotta get my cool guys.
H. Foley
You didn't finish the job and let everybody get on the bus. And then you get on like a good leader would. And then you say to the bus driver, let's go.
Kevin Ryan
First of all, I was 10. I would talk about a good leader. I was fucking 10 years old.
H. Foley
Should have said I Helped all the.
Kevin Ryan
Little kids get on a bus. Hey, get on there.
H. Foley
Probably going through their lunches.
Kevin Ryan
Your sister, nice guy. Sister asking about me. Tell her I got a good job, good post.
H. Foley
20 years, good pennies.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. We could go move to Boca or something. I remember praying. Praying that that band would fit for years. I was so nervous.
Mike Hos
I imagine like future Kippy coming in and like it's like a 30 year old kippy handing you the belt. John Connor.
Kevin Ryan
You're good kid. You gotta eat all the tater tots in the cafeteria.
H. Foley
I was always nervous about the pennies when it was penny day.
Kevin Ryan
We didn't really mess with the pennies.
H. Foley
We got lucky.
Kevin Ryan
Oh yeah. You look like. If you. I mean you look like ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag wearing a penny.
H. Foley
Tough because it would pull up.
Kevin Ryan
It rides up. Yeah. No good. They always smelled like dog dick. Yikes. Hey buddy. I can't be going. I can't be going down to the squad room smelling like a bum's nutsack.
H. Foley
I know dude. You pull those things out of the box. Hey Mr. Smith. Did you keep this in your asshole last night? You stink.
Kevin Ryan
But yeah, big busy. Loved it. Couldn't tell me shit. I. That was the coolest thing to me. Being a bus. Safe. Having a job. I always just wanted a job. Go to work with my dad. Ever tell you I went down, I was on a shutdown. Working at a hotel. I ever tell you that? I was about 10 years old. He took. I may be younger. I got a new pair of jeans. Around Christmas time. I got a new pair of jeans. I never told you this. I got a new pair of carpenter jeans. I thought I was. I thought I was in the union. And me and his boy Jerry got.
H. Foley
A hello Kitty pen stuffed in the.
Kevin Ryan
Me and his boy brand new work boots. And they had to do a shutdown at a. They had to replace a T or something. Replace a fitting.
H. Foley
So you mean shut down. Shut down the water.
Kevin Ryan
Shut down a water of a hotel.
H. Foley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
Overnight active. Yeah, but you got to do that overnight.
H. Foley
Crime scene.
Kevin Ryan
You got to do that overnight.
H. Foley
Uh huh.
Kevin Ryan
Drove downtown. Coolest thing I got a coffee. Hit The Wawa like 8pm Got a coffee. French vanilla.
H. Foley
10.
Kevin Ryan
What at PM no.
H. Foley
You were 10 years old. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I would do the French vanilla from the machine at the Wahhua. My dad called it go get your foo foo drink.
H. Foley
Can't give a kid 10 year old coffee at 8 o'clock at night.
Kevin Ryan
So you're missing the point. I was going down to work. I Was going down to work with fucking pipe fitters.
H. Foley
Small hands. You could climb through the pipes.
Kevin Ryan
He sent me. Tie a rope around me. Send me through to clear it like a rat. Clearing tunnels like Vietnam.
H. Foley
I'll see you on the other side.
Kevin Ryan
Save my chicken fingers for him. Me. I'll be back about an hour.
H. Foley
They just hear a loud bang. Two seconds.
Kevin Ryan
That was just hot chocolate to us.
H. Foley
That's coffee.
Kevin Ryan
I'm not listening. The 90s were a wild time.
H. Foley
Those machines are 1996.
Kevin Ryan
I'm going to work. I'm going to work. A shutdown. Paid time and a half.
H. Foley
Did he pay you?
Kevin Ryan
He probably gave me like 40 bucks.
H. Foley
Why would you. Nothing to do with you.
Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
He couldn't leave you?
Kevin Ryan
No. I think he picked me up at my mom's. I just wanted. I wanted to work. That was cool. What are you talking about?
H. Foley
Was it a school night?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I don't think maybe.
H. Foley
Probably. Dragging ass.
Kevin Ryan
Probably. It probably was. Maybe I had off or something or I don't know. I got dressed. I remember he picked me up. I remember he picked me up. Was dark and cold as shit.
H. Foley
Typical cop. You're moonlighting. Then you're dead ass the next day on your shift.
Kevin Ryan
That's right.
H. Foley
Huh? Doing a little nip. Taking a little nip to keep it going bad. Lieutenant.
Kevin Ryan
I remember he told us we weren't allowed to have lunch because you're not worth shit when you come back. Yeah. No, I. Yeah. I don't know. I went down. It was me, him and his. And his dude Jerry that worked for him. And we had to take out a huge fuck. It was like a water man. I had to take out a huge 90 or put in a new fucking. A new valve or something. I remember. I remember my boots were too clean or brand new. Timbs. Or something. Brand. They weren't Tim's brand new boots. You know.
H. Foley
Oshkosh. I would assume as a 10 year.
Kevin Ryan
Old you're probably not wrong. And I was trying to make them dirty just so I fit in with the other. The other construction workers. I was there like scruffing them up with like a file or whatever. You know what I mean? Be like. Yeah, you know. It's just. It's just working at the city hall. They. You know. Work's never done there. I'm down here at the new Comcast building. Yeah.
H. Foley
I'm actually 26. I've been smoking a long time. How you guys doing?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I remember just being in the. Being in the basement of this fucking hotel downtown for you know, till 7:00am or whatever.
H. Foley
Well, that sounds safe.
Kevin Ryan
That's where I learned my work ethic for a child. And I remember they gave either my dad or the guy. Jerry. A parking ticket.
H. Foley
Sons of bitches.
Kevin Ryan
And that's when I heard that's. That was like guy down here trying to earn a living.
H. Foley
Hey, don't gotta tell me, Jerry. You guys know I'm on the job.
Kevin Ryan
It was like life faith. That's. I think that's when started going south for my. That's. Your life ain't hard enough, they gotta get you a parking ticket down here. Earning an honest living, trying to pay child support, got alimony, have to pay taxes.
H. Foley
Try wrangling these animals at the bus stop chair. My supervisor don't get it. You know, I keep telling him, he's threatening to take my badge away.
Kevin Ryan
I got my safety.
H. Foley
Two weeks, no pay.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I just wanted a job. And it really. So being a safety was like. Finally, my dad was proud of me. I started working. Started working it, I guess I was 12. And he would pay me because I was working. I made $5 in tips a night Thursday night. Santo Palato, he break me off like a 10 or a 20 bag. You're working, you're good.
H. Foley
I go, this is after you were done being a safety.
Kevin Ryan
This is the year after safety. Yeah. Got a taste of the good life.
H. Foley
Sure. I mean, retired. Got your gold watch. You got out. Mm. You know the important thing about being a safety? Get home alive every night.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
That's all that matters.
Kevin Ryan
That was probably prime, Slim, fast and pretzel Kippy too. I was going home. Going on a tear. Denise wasn't home. She's working second or third shift.
H. Foley
Put your gun up in the cabinet so the kids don't get it. Sit down, shut up.
Kevin Ryan
You screaming at my brother and sister? Must be nice just to go to fucking school. Not have to work. Trying to watch trl, the new Slugga, Cuddy Stark. Watch the new Marshall Mathers fucking video. Oh, golly gee willikers.
H. Foley
Okay, kid.

This one, this is from Rafliota. Is it garbage or rip a heater while you're praying? You are not praying to me. I could be wrong. You ain't going. That's not an Our Father. That's for the love of God, please hope my breath doesn't smell like booze. That's what that is. Yeah, that's for the love of God. I hope my warrants are cleared up or whatever.
H. Foley
The two of the two of them go hand in hand. What, you're praying? You're smoking.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
You know what I mean? I respect it.
Kevin Ryan
All right. This one's from Kippy's Holy Socks, which I never address publicly on the Patreon. When we were in Austin, apparently I had a hole in my sock and I had my feet up on the coffee table and I got ridiculed.
H. Foley
I've never brought this up to you. Yeah, you do have holes in your socks more often than we've talked.
Kevin Ryan
Hans, he gets the socks, they rolled up. I just pick them up. I don't, I don't look. I throw them out. And then when I'm looking, I don't fucking. I mean, I'm sure, I listen, if I'm putting my socks on and I'm already dressed and I see like a hole in my sock, that's still going on. Especially if I got one on already that's going on. I don't know what to tell you. Is it garbage to move back in with your dad at age 40 when he just remarried his new wife, who is 38, she cannot love that. So you, you got to figure, let's say the dad's 20 years older, so the dad's, you know, give me 65, I'll give you 65, dad.
H. Foley
65 broads. 38. Congratulations.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh. I would assume maybe that the dad has some money, but then why doesn't the kid hat like, if the dad had money, I'd go, buddy, you're not moving in.
H. Foley
Me speaking personally, I'll get you an apartment.
Kevin Ryan
I'll get, I'll get you on your feet, you know what I mean? Or if there's enough money that there's somebody who's gold digging.38 is not really gold digging though. No, that's like. Hey, I just fucking like.
H. Foley
You sure?
Kevin Ryan
You know, it's not like she's 21 and he's fucking 65.
H. Foley
She's two years. My dad's new wife is two years younger than me and I'm living there. Listen, you know how I feel about that. So family's family. You don't have. You should have any. Listen, me, you, the kid might be jammed up. Just, you know, restarting. You're going to be there forever.
Kevin Ryan
You don't know that though. You don't know that either. Guy's a fuck up. Back at 40.
H. Foley
She's mom now.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
So.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it's. I mean one that's. Yeah. That's garbage. That's a tough look dude. I would.
H. Foley
You know.
Kevin Ryan
Hopefully you got a basement with a second entrance or something.
H. Foley
There you go.
Kevin Ryan
Fucking getting a little bit of space. I don't know your relationship with your dad. I don't know your relationship with her. But she cannot be thrilled about that.
H. Foley
Take the summer, see what happens. That'd be my. Be my thing. Take the summer. Get your feet under you. Save a couple of bucks. Plus find out if she's cool with it. If she is. Ride that out.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Yeah. Maybe she's like, I gotta. I gotta homie my age here. This guy's snoozing at 5:30pm eating prunes all day. I gotta. You know.
H. Foley
Yeah, that might be a bad situation one day.
Kevin Ryan
I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying that's how your videos start. All right, let's see. This is from Jess B. $10, homie. Is it garbage that I had my pregnancy announcement at Dollar Beer Night? Because my whole family would have. Is already there and it's just easier. Your whole family's getting together for Dollar Beer Night? That's a good family. That's got. That is a knock around good. There's some beefs. Uncle Dan don't like uncle Steve. Steve Jr.
H. Foley
They don't talk.
Kevin Ryan
What? Something they're. You're hanging out Dollar Beer Night. That's a fucking bumpy family. But they fucking. They're thick as thieves. Are in it together. That I respect that.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, we'll fucking put this all aside. I'll go. We're just not hanging out.
H. Foley
Why are you assuming there's an argument? What gives her a Dollar Beer night together?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I mean a family that drinks together does not come out unscathed. Nobody's getting drunk at Dollar Beer. I mean if you're Consistently at Dollar beer night.
H. Foley
There's a problem.
Kevin Ryan
Do I gotta spell it out for you?
H. Foley
Yeah, I guess so.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, I drink with everybody in my family a lot.
H. Foley
And there's tension.
Kevin Ryan
There'S tensions, you know what I mean? Not at all times, but things happen.
H. Foley
Listen, I know I might not see at Thanksgiving because you don't talk. So I wanted to tell you here, you know, Teresa's pregnant.
Kevin Ryan
Salute.
H. Foley
Now you're assuming they're Italian.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, just taking shots now, Uncle Dan. Pick up the tab, huh? I would know. I would assume they're Irish or Polish. The Polish like a cocktail. They do, but. Yeah, that's good. That's all right. I mean, I respect it. I respect the family dynamics. That's all I know. And I appreciate that. I've learned to appreciate it in my elder. In my elder life.
H. Foley
Now, where's this dollar beer night shot, man?
Kevin Ryan
Nothing's fucking better than dollar beers. It's like, that's draft, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Bud Light. I mean, when I was in college, a lot of college bars were doing it. Dollar beers, that's different. Dollar Bud Light bottles.
H. Foley
The one place used to do that' bottles.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. And we'd go up because there'd be like 10 of us, it'd be packed, and we'd be in like a back corner of the table and somebody like, I'm going to get beers. And at this point, you're like, you're doing. You're double. Everybody's just fucking. You got getting fucked up. You got two hours to get these in. You know what I mean? They go back to fucking 450 afterwards.
H. Foley
And I.
Kevin Ryan
Listen, I ain't got it.
H. Foley
I told you, I only had a 10 on me. Spent 550 on a chicken parm.
Kevin Ryan
So they would give us cases, they'd keep a case for. And they. So you'd go like, hey. And they go, yeah, it's $24. You order 24 beer. Because by the time you take everybody's order, one guy's going up. It's impossible to get to the front because it's packed. You're going, I need 18 beers. Or whatever. So we just get a case. And they would just hand you. You'd walk back through like a hulk, like the. It would still be unopened. Instead of him picking up 20 beers, was it cold? Yeah.
H. Foley
Wow.
Kevin Ryan
Instead of him going like, here you go, here you go. Here you opening 20 beers. You go fucking just take it. That's pretty cool. I trust you guys. You're in the back.
H. Foley
That's.
Kevin Ryan
That was the coolest I've ever felt my life. Shout out to. I think it was called the. Not the Drift. It was the Pub Web it.
H. Foley
That's a spot that plays ball.
Kevin Ryan
They had just opened and we got. We got. We went in kind of early.
H. Foley
Probably closed soon after.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. I don't know if they're still. Can you see if they're still open? Pubweb Temple's campus. Probably on Cecil B. Moore.
H. Foley
Cecil B. Moore.
Kevin Ryan
Cecil B. Moore. That's how they used to say it on the subway.
Mike Hos
Two B's.
Kevin Ryan
No one be Cecil B. Moore.
Mike Hos
You don't know Cecil B. Moore is Pub Web. Two Bs, yeah. Pub Web still banging.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
What kind of specials they banging out there? We should go down. Everybody. I probably get a hero's welcome when I come back.
Mike Hos
Menu. Highlight their wings. That's the name of the wings.
Kevin Ryan
Their wings.
Mike Hos
Their wings.
Kevin Ryan
Any. They banging any. Any promo. Any beer promo.
H. Foley
And who's DJing tonight?
Kevin Ryan
They do. They used to do comedy. They started doing comedy there. I heard up there was like an upstairs, but there wasn't one I saw. We went in. It was like their first night open. The guy's like, yeah, we just opened. It was empty. So we got, you know, familiarized with the bartender. I remember playing 711 doubles on the bar. There's like three people in there.
H. Foley
That's what you got to do. You gotta get your foot in the door. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
So we can. Hey. Then it got hot. Then they started the dollar beer nights. But I'm fucking. I'm old hat.
H. Foley
Goddamn legacy.
Kevin Ryan
I've been here for three days.
H. Foley
What do you got, Luke? Anything fun coming up?
Mike Hos
It seems like they classed up the joint. I don't know if they're doing dollar beers anymore.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, I get it.
H. Foley
They made all that money off of you.
Mike Hos
$7 cheesesteaks on Fridays.
Kevin Ryan
That's probably pretty good for philly nowadays.
Mike Hos
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
$7 cheesesteak on Friday. Get you in early. Go in there for the lunch.
Mike Hos
Taco Tuesday. $5 taco basket.
H. Foley
I like the sound of that.
Kevin Ryan
That ain't bad.
H. Foley
Love a bar taco.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I love all bar food.
Mike Hos
And you get a drink with purchase.
H. Foley
Oh, look at that.
Kevin Ryan
Look at that. Four cheesesteaks, four beers. Let's go. Run it back, Daddy.
H. Foley
O dollar cheesesteak, mate.
Kevin Ryan
All right. This one's from Kippy. Pulled the goalie. $20 sucker here. Never have one red. Is it garbage if you and your buddy are politely asked not to come back to the Boy Scouts. Because our dads brought a cooler of beer and a TV to watch the World Series on an overnight trip. This is about 1995. Had rabbit ears going in the woods.
H. Foley
That's fucked up. I mean, I listen the beers I get.
Kevin Ryan
No, I'm fine with all of it. I get why you weren't allowed back. That's not what the Boy Scouts is.
H. Foley
I don't. Making the kids responsible for that. The fuck was he supposed to tell his dad not to drink? He's a kid. The dad's not coming back. Sure, I get it. But you're punishing the kids.
Kevin Ryan
I gotta be honest with you. Dad's drinking in the woods, bringing the TV out. Any guy listens to the show now, they made the right call. I mean, I'm assuming the apple don't fall too far from the tree, you know what I mean? Also, who knows, buddy, you might have dodged a couple of bullets.
H. Foley
Yeah, no kidding.
Kevin Ryan
Might be involved in a clay section lawsuit.
Mike Hos
Can't miss the World Series.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know why, but I feel like this is in Chicago for some reason. Yeah, it's the fucking Cubbies or you.
H. Foley
Know something for sure.
Kevin Ryan
Some die hard legacy team where you're like, it's a bunch of.
H. Foley
Bunch of young kids. They probably wanted to watch it, too.
Kevin Ryan
I know, but they're supposed to be learning how to start a fire and do that shit.
H. Foley
Start a fire. Get the hot dogs going. Throw the goddamn game on.
Kevin Ryan
I'm on your fucking side here. Listen, I'm on your side. But they got to do, like the basket. They got to do all kinds. They got to earn their badges. Out. Out there. Ain't not recreational. Learn it. It's educational.
H. Foley
Got money on the game.
Kevin Ryan
I never got the Boy Scouts, ever. My mom was like, no way. I, like, pitched it at one point, she's like, oh, you get a pocket knife and a whatever, you know.
H. Foley
She was like, nah, I didn't get it.
Kevin Ryan
Not for me.
H. Foley
I liked all that stuff. I think I used to read Boy's Life or something like that or whatever that magazine was.
Kevin Ryan
Gotti.
H. Foley
Whatever that magazine was, or my cousin had it or something like that. He might have been another Play girl.
Kevin Ryan
Mike Concho, Pull my butt apart.
H. Foley
Mustache and a little chest hair.
Kevin Ryan
This one's just cute. This is from Uncle Soppy. Is it garbage that our seven year old talks? Garbage speak. She always calls her little brother Bonkos or screwballs. Also, ask for a screaming Mimi when she wants a cold Sprite. Listen, you got A good kid on your hands there. That's all I gotta freaking say about that.
H. Foley
Screaming Mimi.
Kevin Ryan
All right, let's see. This one's from Cody. $10. Afternoon farmer. I forgot about Afternoon Farmer. I ever made a day out of going to the airport to watch the planes land. Jesus. I get that, though, a little bit.
H. Foley
That was a very.
Kevin Ryan
As a kid.
H. Foley
Yeah. That was a very big thing in like, 80s movies. Go and lay on the hood of the car at the end of the Runway. That would be cool.
Kevin Ryan
And no fucking Facebook or nothing.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, you got to fill the time somehow. Make out also, too. I think the access was a lot more unfeathered back then than it is now.
H. Foley
Yeah. You can't fucking get anywhere near it. Yeah, rightly so. Hey, hey, I don't mind.
Kevin Ryan
Forget.
H. Foley
I don't hate that. That's just the same as driving around and looking at houses.
Kevin Ryan
There was. Sure. I think it was. I think it's arguably cooler. Especially, like, if you got a kid, you know, say you got a. Like, you like trains or whatever. So you got a kid who likes planes. What?
H. Foley
I do like trains.
Kevin Ryan
I said. I said you like too. I didn't even include the present tense.
H. Foley
I do like trains.
Kevin Ryan
I know it'd be weird if you just, like, went to the fucking subway and just started staring.
H. Foley
I don't like subway. I like real trains.
Kevin Ryan
Go tell. Go tell subway conductor today in a real fucking train.
H. Foley
Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, the Santa Fe. I like those.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. All right. I'm sorry, guys.
H. Foley
Cargo haulers, coal trucks.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
That's what we used to have. Canadian Pacific was great. That's a nice passenger set lying out either way.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, you're talking toys. What if a kid likes playing? But also, if you go to a small airport, watch the Cessna's all day long. That's probably pretty cool.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I get a little more. There was one by my dad's. There was an airport by my house my dad rented when they first got divorced. That was like next to the road. I mean, it was like. It was like a landing.
H. Foley
Little crop duster.
Kevin Ryan
And they had the. They had the telephone poles with the. Remember the balls on them? Like the big red ball, the big yellow ball? It looked like a beach ball on the telephone pole because that was like. They'd come in fucking. That let them know that there was wires there.
H. Foley
Oh.
Kevin Ryan

Jerry and Jimmy were at the hip And I would love to say all their last names because they're all just such Philly dirt bag names. But I don't. You know, I haven't talked to these guys in 30 years.
H. Foley
I feel like there's a Casalowski in there somewhere.
Kevin Ryan

Is Giro's down there? It's closed now. I've mentioned gyros before. It was like an independent Fridays all friggin right. That's where my dad. Never mind. This is a Dan Senior. The Heavy Dan Senior episode.
H. Foley
A family show.
Kevin Ryan
All right. This one's from Ethan. Never have one read. Is it garbage? If I owed the tollway $2,500 plus.
H. Foley
Shit.
Kevin Ryan
I switch vehicles pretty often, so they haven't been able to deny my registration yet at the tax office. That's fucking crazy.
H. Foley
Holy fuck.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, that's the.
H. Foley
He means going through tolls.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, he's right. A lot of times it's the penalties and interest to get you on that 2500. I vote more. I vote that Jesus show was happening. Yeah. When this show was happening. I vote that because during COVID they waived it. And I didn't have easy pass.
H. Foley
They waived it as a wave.
Kevin Ryan
Tolls.
H. Foley
They did.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Because not everything was easy pass. And then not. I would have to pay cash because I didn't have easy pass waves. So you weren't allowed to.
H. Foley

Kevin Ryan
No, just no toll.
H. Foley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
And I kind of.
H. Foley
How did you.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, I kind of let that roll for a year and a half or whatever, you know. Then they started. They started sending in registration suspension notices and I started crying. I cried like a baby back.
H. Foley
I need my car.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, well, that was when you were. You'd get like a fucking registration cancellation. Looking down, staring down the barrel, like a $2,200 charge. And I was making, I don't know, 1200 bucks a month. Had to cover rent. I think my wife made that one. You're a good girl. Getting her pregnant's the least I can do.
H. Foley
Don't worry I'll knock you up.
Kevin Ryan
Real class act you are. All right, this one's from Mallory. Ten Dollar Investor. Never have one read. Is it classy or trashy? After you were born, your grandmother rented the town prom limo to bring you, your and your parents home from the hospital. That's a good time. I don't think you can put a car seat in a limo, can you?
H. Foley
Yeah, I guess.
Kevin Ryan
In the back.
H. Foley
All the way in the front? No, in the back. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Kevin Ryan
Seat belts in the front.
H. Foley
Listen, it's trash. All right, stop. They weren't using fucking seatbelts. And they probably weren't using a goddamn car seat. The mom was holding that kid.
Kevin Ryan
Like breastfeeding.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Which were you, breastfed or bottle fed?
H. Foley
I don't know. I'd have to ask Patty.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know what I was either. What were they? I don't know what they were doing in the 70s and 80s.
H. Foley
I want to say probably breastfed. I'm gonna find out.
Kevin Ryan
No, I'll call her later. Yeah, I was just curious.
H. Foley
I would say breastfed.
Mike Hos
Yeah, I think I was a combo. You could because you can do both.
H. Foley
No, you can't.
Mike Hos
Yeah, you can.
H. Foley
I don't think so.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know why you're looking at me.
H. Foley
I thought you can't do both because then the kid don't want one or the other. That's what I thought I heard.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know nothing about. I'm sure you can. I might not be advised at all times, but I'm sure you could do it.
Mike Hos
Yes, it's possible and often recommended to combine both.
Kevin Ryan
Okay, why are we taking our lactation methods? Advice from Henry Foley. Oh, you can't do that. In a movie One time.
H. Foley
Throwing it out there. Maybe that's why you're well balanced, because you got both. I probably only got. I was thinking about where my, like, my deep seated, instinctual love of milk comes from. Like, when I drink milk, I have a reaction that it's the grossest thing I've ever seen.
Kevin Ryan
It gets in your beard.
H. Foley
I have. I have a chemical reaction in my brain that I don't get with any other beverage.
Kevin Ryan
I get that with Curd Light.
H. Foley
So maybe that's it.
Kevin Ryan
Could be, you know. I don't know. God damn it. All right, this one's from Brie, Nutter Butter and Jelly. This is. This. Listen, I've seen a lot of dirt bag moves. I try to help out my friends when I can. Letters of recommendation. I'll flub a W2 or whatever to get someone in a park.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
Or whatever. Of course, that's how I operate.
H. Foley
I've been a reference on many, many, many a job application.
Kevin Ryan
And I listen, I think if you're a dirtbag and you have dirtbag friends, you need to fucking unite and help each other when you can to fight against the man.
H. Foley
Yo, by the way, just so you know, I put your name down as a reference if anybody calls. You manage a restaurant called Skippy's. And I worked there between here and there. And I was a good employee. No problem.
Kevin Ryan
It's gotta be. I didn't. I haven't done a job reference in quite a long time. But that's gotta be hard to do now. Now everything's just Google. You can't be like, I. You can't make up a place. And also the number, they could just call the number. They can, hey, I worked at fucking Garbanzos on Second Street. And if that is, if that doesn't exist, they can find that out immediately. If it does exist, they can just Google it and have the real number to Garbanzo's.
H. Foley
Not a 3, 1, 2 number, something like that.
Kevin Ryan
1, 800, 1, 800, I'm lying to you.
H. Foley
That sucks.
Kevin Ryan
All right. But here it is. Write this down. This is great corporate life. Hack to help your homies.
H. Foley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
I've been pretty successful in my career, so for my old team members, people who used to work with or his boys or anybody, you know, hourly people, whatever.
H. Foley
Gotcha.
Kevin Ryan
His extended crew, once a year or so, I use my position to write them offer letters with promises of more money. They take that to their current boss, different companies, whatever, and ask. Hold on. They take that to their current boss and ask if their company can match the offer. Should the company not be able to match my homies, Just tell them after a few days I decided to stay with you out of loyalty, which usually results in some sort of pay increase. Mind fucking blown, first of all.
H. Foley
Solid. Fucking, dude. Dude, that's solid.
Kevin Ryan
You're dirtbag of the year. That is fucking amazing talk. Getting. Letting the boys wet their beaks. And it don't cost him nothing.
H. Foley
Fucking unbelievable.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, listen, I'm making $50,000 a year. I just got an offer for 60. I love you. I want. I love working here. I love the cult, love the whatever. Just want to give you guys the option to match it. I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I just want to let you know this is that.
H. Foley
That might be the most bulletproof dirtbag move I've ever heard in my life. Okay, listen, that made me so happy. Dude, that is the sickest move, like you said. Hey, I. Listen, it may be a good opportunity. I love what I do here. I'm gonna stay. I appreciate you considering it. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go back to the office.
Kevin Ryan
I'll be back at the desk.
H. Foley
Or they bang out. Boom. Here you go. 60. You know what?
Kevin Ryan
We can't get to 60. We can do 57. 5.
H. Foley
Perfect.
Kevin Ryan
You know what? I do.
H. Foley
That's so sick. Here's the other side of it. You're talking about being able to check it. Let's say they call. Yeah, this is so.
Kevin Ryan
That's on fucking. That's on Garbazo's. Garbanzo's letterhead. It's his name. It's. It's technically a real offer. Yeah, it's not like they're just making that up.
H. Foley
Fuck, that's awesome.
Kevin Ryan
So good, dude. I mean, like proper.
H. Foley
Who is this guy?
Kevin Ryan
Uh, this is. I think it's a woman. I mean, Brie. Brie Nutter Butter and Jelly is the.
H. Foley
Name, but I have to get Brie in here. That's pretty good.
Kevin Ryan
That's.
H. Foley
I mean, that's genius level.
Kevin Ryan
Everybody should. If you could do that, if you own a garage, if you can do it at any. I. What is.
H. Foley
That's a pain?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, because you gotta. You kind of go in with your tail between your legs a little. Not to between, but like. Hey, listen, I don't. I'm not. This isn't. I'm not demanding this. I'm just saying. Hey, I have an offer letter. I was out golfing with so and so. He liked me. I got this offer.
H. Foley
Were you looking for another job? You're not happy here?
Kevin Ryan
No, not at all. I was. I was. I remember that golf tournament I went to with the O'Brien's from you know, and Jerry and Jimmy.
H. Foley
Somehow that led to, you know. Do you know this guy? Yeah. Well, you would. You have to tell him. You work together.
Kevin Ryan
Do you know, Also, yeah, you can say my old boss.
H. Foley
Just random. Oh, bingo. You don't need a backstory. Yeah, my old boss, random guy.
Kevin Ryan
As you know, I used to work there. I used to work at Garbanzos. They're trying to poach me back. I just giving you the heads up. I love it here, you know, I'd like to give you the offer to match it or get close because I love what I do. I'm not sure what I'm doing, but, like, I just want to. You know. Unless you suck at your job and they go, get the. Out of here. You know, I. That's.
H. Foley

Mike Hos
I just got approached.
Kevin Ryan
Andrew Schultz just hit me up.
Mike Hos
Expect. Expect my.
Kevin Ryan
I would love to see you try.
Mike Hos
Mr. Ryan D Enterprises.
H. Foley
Shout out to Brie.
Kevin Ryan
That's amazing. What a way. We gotta wrap it up. What a way to end it. Take that and rip off corporate America if you can.
