A chest would be standalone.
H. Foley
I got one of those.
Kevin Ryan
A lot of doomies. A lot of doomsday school buses in there.

You run it from the feds?
Kevin Ryan
We tried it once. Train stop. Like a train crossing.
H. Foley
Did you pull onto the tracks?
Kevin Ryan
Why is that? First of all, that's not a thing. What?
H. Foley
Really?
Kevin Ryan
No, we did it at like a. Yeah, we were stopped for a train or whatever.
H. Foley
As a family or friends?
Kevin Ryan
I think both.
H. Foley
Yeah, I remember doing it with my parents. Yeah, that is garbage. In fact, the car was on fire. Everybody man for himself.
Kevin Ryan
Your mom's topless.
H. Foley
Throw my debt out, hummy. Anyway, I came across this in the back of the old medicine cabinet, which really brought me back to around this Time of year as you know. I love it.
Kevin Ryan
Young kid, you're a big in the past guy. Cause the present ain't great.
H. Foley
That's called escapism. According to my big man's living in an escape room. Can't find it.
Kevin Ryan
Welcome to the Bugman escape room.
H. Foley
No way out except back in time. It's like the Kobayashi Maru. You can't win the what? Deep cut. Keep it moving.
Kevin Ryan
Don't ask no questions.
H. Foley
That's right. You start. Trek fans out there which I've been getting knee deep into.
Kevin Ryan
Sounds Asian.
H. Foley
What?
Kevin Ryan
Kobayashi.
H. Foley
Kobayashi Maru is the guy that hit on my poems.
Kevin Ryan
Shout out to the black widow. Yeah.
H. Foley
The doctor in charge of Fukushima fucked everything up. Listen. Watch the tuna.
Kevin Ryan
It's watching you keep Atlantic salmon.
H. Foley
The Kobayashi Maru is the test you get at the Starfleet Academy which is unbeatable. The only one to ever beat it was Captain James Tiberius Kirk who went in. Who failed it then went in and then asked to take it again. Went in the night before, rigged the game and won. And was. Was, was. Was famous for doing was an unbeatable scenario.
Kevin Ryan
They didn't beat it.
H. Foley
He cheated to beat it. That's the only way to beat it. That's how Captain Kirk does it. And closes a couple of alien ass gets the hell out of there.
Kevin Ryan
This guy's a. I did all right. This guy's a scammer. I didn't know that.
H. Foley
Not what. Dare you.
Kevin Ryan
All right. Hey. Enough with your 1970s television show.
H. Foley
It's new. The ones with Chris Pine. Good stuff. Fair enough. Luke.
Kevin Ryan
Henry.
H. Foley
Let me take everybody back.
Kevin Ryan
Oh wait. Should I look yet?
H. Foley
To the summer. Go ahead. To the summer in the 1990s. Man, if you knew a young lady that was using that. The whole bathroom smelled like it. Man, that really cleaned the pores out.
Kevin Ryan
Sayin. I thought that was for nether regions.
H. Foley
Really?
Kevin Ryan
No wonder you like to smell.
H. Foley
You got acne on your taint. What are you talking about?
Kevin Ryan
You know that I know. Yeah.
H. Foley
That's the year that that. Okay. All the products that. That everyone's using now. Whether it's your sugar, scrub your salt, scrub your Marula oil, whatever you're using, your under eye cream, whatever the ladies are doing. This is what the broads in the early 90s had. And that's all you got. You got that and a little herbal essence. You got to make it work.
Kevin Ryan
I remember tugging my root to that moisturizer, that conditioner.
H. Foley
Just sitting there smelling a bottle of shoe.
Kevin Ryan
Man, I would get turned on when I smelled it.
H. Foley
Can I say this?
Kevin Ryan
I would wail on myself and I be like, pavlovian response. I'd be walking down the shampoo aisle at the Acme and I catch a whiff of that. Next thing you know, I got a hard on you could hang from.
H. Foley
Start getting sleepy by the time I got to the dinner rolls. Can I say this?
Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
You know, I'm an old man and you don't really notice that that much anymore. What A woman's. The way a woman's hair smells as much as it did back in the day. Remember? Like a girl would get on like the bus in high school and the whole like the. The whole bus would smell like it. It would just smell like.
Kevin Ryan
I don't want to. I'm not trying to. Trying to cut now. I don't. I don't remember that.
H. Foley
You don't remember that.
Kevin Ryan
The whole bottle. That's too much product. The whole bus smells.
H. Foley
Thought it was nice in the summer, you know. You know, towards the end.
Kevin Ryan
I'm not saying it doesn't, but I. You know, the whole bus.
H. Foley
Whole bus. What I say?
Kevin Ryan
You heard me. A bold brick. Yeah, no, I don't know. I'm also. I'm not bumping into that many broads anymore. You.
H. Foley
True, true.
Kevin Ryan
I'm a one man band, of course.
H. Foley
Does your wife's hair smell good?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Yeah, I miss that. Yeah. I mean, hot chicks, their hair used to smell really good.
Kevin Ryan
I would argue hot chicks hair probably smells better than ever, if I had to guess. I mean, you know, not around hot chicks no more. Not that I was around hot chicks previous course. I met one and I tell you.
H. Foley
What I don't mind, you know, I like. Is that dry shampoo the ladies are using?
Kevin Ryan
I don't get that either. There's a lot of stuff.
H. Foley
I started using it though.
Kevin Ryan
I'm a bar of soap, man. And I'm a Pantene pro V. When I do wash my hair, I got.
H. Foley
Be careful I don't wash it.
Kevin Ryan
That's all. I use everything else. I don't know. I don't know nothing about nothing. I want. I was the oxy, not Oxiclean.
H. Foley
My face disappears. Talking about Clearasil.
Kevin Ryan
No, the pad, the circles, man.
H. Foley
Not Oxiclean.
Kevin Ryan
Those things.
H. Foley
Oxy. Oxy pads.

H. Foley
Man.
Kevin Ryan
That's. I remember I found them.
H. Foley
We were a Noxzema family. That shit fucking stung.
Kevin Ryan
Noxzema.
H. Foley
I tried to pull it one time with that shit. Holy fuck. Like a night in a gulag. Chirping over the peppermint Patty.
Kevin Ryan
Getting stuck in a Chinese finger trap. I what I remember, Mike. My. What do you have there? It's just oxy pads. Really up did their.
H. Foley
Fuck is that?
Kevin Ryan
They still do the pad. No one ever talks about.
H. Foley
Monster energy drink.
Kevin Ryan
Take those over more now.
H. Foley
I tell you what, with those things, though, you would do them and you would see that dirt on your face. You knew it was what.
Kevin Ryan
That's what I'm saying. And every time I watch my. I go, I wish I didn't know. Listen, I got. I'm getting back on these.
H. Foley
Yeah, I'm getting them too.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, they were the soap. You go, oh, okay, I'm clean now. Yeah, because you see it stop working.
H. Foley
The pores.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Now they have those borosil pads, whatever they're called. The things you put over your nose and you pull the blackheads out.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, those are great.
H. Foley
What are they called? Borosil?
Kevin Ryan
Clearacil.
H. Foley
No.
Kevin Ryan
Either way, those are all right.
H. Foley
Boresan. No, I don't know what it is. That stuff. Bior. That's what I'm thinking.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, Bior.
H. Foley
Bjor. Fucking beat it. Let me that. I don't like that marketing. Somebody called him up. Get that straightened out. That looks like you're selling me percodles.
Kevin Ryan
What? The oxy. It does look like oxy. A bunch of guys scratching, waiting in line.
H. Foley
Pretty itch.
Kevin Ryan
I took four remain. They ain't working.
H. Foley
There it is. Nothing smells like that stuff.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
I'll give you apricot scrub. It had like. It was the first time that had that I ever used something that had like the little whatever those.
Kevin Ryan
The little beads in it, the exfoliators.
H. Foley
Rubber. Yeah, they were nice.
Kevin Ryan
You know, you were dyed. A little bit of cage. Someone had those. That. The big thing for us was the broads would get in the bath and body works like spritzers. They were like.
H. Foley
They were hot for a while, man.
Kevin Ryan
It was like. There was like a cherry one.
H. Foley
They would have one. They would have them in baskets. In basket. Not bed bath. And me on bath and body work. Everybody got into that.
Kevin Ryan
That was bad. That took over the mall. Like fucking nothing you would believe.
H. Foley
Yeah, that and the shirts. That's that clamped together down the bottom. What? You know I'm talking about the onesies.
Kevin Ryan
Bit of a freak, aren't you? Huh? Is that what you're into?
H. Foley
Yeah. Jennifer Aniston used to wear them all the time.
Kevin Ryan
The body. My wife will throw one on from time to time. Luke got that? Yeah, I do catch that whenever I forget that, you know, she'll watch from time to time.
H. Foley
Watch what?
Kevin Ryan
The program.
H. Foley
The hell.
Kevin Ryan
Me and my oxies. And she'll be like. And I'll forget I'm in. I'm in the zone. In the riffing zone here. I'll let something fly. Nothing. Always protect the innocent. But I'll make a joke. Course, man. And she'll be. She'll say something to me. I'm like, that is a deep cut. I didn't think. I'm like, oh, you listen. You made it 53 minutes. Because I think maybe she'll listen to 10 minutes, get bored. She's sick of me. She's sick of you. She's sick of both of us.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
I figure, like, I'm deep enough in the episode, I can let something go. And then she hits me with it and I go, okay, so you're on a bit. You're a ten dollar amendment little freak. But all that's neither here nor there. We got a gosh darn family episode on our hand. As you know. When you join the Patreon, you get to ask your garbage question with king.

Kevin, it says here that you're a blue belt in karate. You study with Tiger Shulman, the Jewish that say which. Is there an actual Tiger Shulman? There's no way his first name was Tiger and his last name was Shulman.
Kevin Ryan
No. I always found that weird because I didn't realize I knew one Shulman growing up. And he was.
H. Foley
So did I.
Kevin Ryan
He was a very big, uncoordinated Jewish fella. And I was thinking, I'm like, I can't see a Shulman mastering the mats.
H. Foley
Ours was a. Was a. Was a smaller Jewish fella. Good kid. Parents were the richest people. That biggest house I've ever been into my life.
Kevin Ryan
All that karate that runs deep.
H. Foley
Very true.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it's like. It's like the Waltons.
H. Foley
He had one of those backyards that went down that was like. I can't describe it. It had, like, a hill in the back, but it was all, like, perfectly manicured. And then down at the bottom was, like, the pool and, like, a pool house and all this stuff. I was only there for, like, 45 minutes at a party once he got.
Kevin Ryan
Caught stealing the silverware. Couldn't believe God going through their medicine chest.
H. Foley
This house is fucking 15 minutes away from mine. Sure. Do you own my house, too?

Yeah. I got you.
H. Foley
Huh.
Kevin Ryan
That's interesting.
H. Foley
25 million.
Kevin Ryan
It's got maybe more. I mean if Tiger Shulman's. If they are national.
H. Foley
I think they are and there's really no competition. Who else you going to go to?
Kevin Ryan
Local spot? Yeah. There's nobody. I mean there, there. I can't get his net worth. But the revenue is $34 million a year. Yeah. Gotta be franchised. Yeah, it is. Let's open up a Tiger Shulman's.

Kevin Ryan
They, they just opened up a. I never understood karate. I would like have as a kid. It's a very childish and I'm not down crediting karate, but I think it's very. It's a lot of children. If I was karate, if I was.
H. Foley
In the best shape of my life, would I be able to fight and beat up a black belt in karate? It's bullshit, right? Not bullshit. Whoa. It's not like jujitsu where like those guys would fuck you up. Like karate's got to be coordinated. Would a karate guy be able to kick my ass?
Kevin Ryan
I think, yeah. I mean, yeah. I think so.
H. Foley
Huh. I'm not doubting it. I'm just, I'm.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know.
H. Foley
I'm ignorant.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I don't know what the. I've only ever known children that do it and they opened up a dojo in my neighborhood, sold weed.
H. Foley
That did it.
Kevin Ryan
Hey. And it's mostly children.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
Like it's for the kid. And this is the first time I looked at it, I was like, oh, this is a child's activity.
H. Foley
Self defense confidence.
Kevin Ryan
I think if you're. It's more self. It's more handling yourself.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I don't think it's like we can't.
H. Foley
Be teaching that you want to do is freak out.
Kevin Ryan
Brass knuckles kids.
H. Foley
I want you to start worrying. That's a sweet move.

What are we doing here? Why we keep it on air? Well, we're adults. We'll pick out the glasses, break the glass. Let's have a good time, guys. Enjoying himself.

Kevin Ryan
And for you know, it just ended up well. Then I said, listen, this is how I play the game. I'll just. Fuck.
H. Foley
Listen, Just send a kid a couple hundred bucks.
Kevin Ryan
Send him a couple hundred bucks, and I'll just say. I'll write him a letter of recommendation.

Kevin Ryan
I'll just say, I'll go ahead, but go. He was more like web design stuff. And I'm like, I don't. I can't even. He, like, I read his resume, and I'm like, I don't know. What, 99. I don't know 99 of stuff Luke does, let alone what this. This kid's like, speaking in code. I'm like, I can't. I just can't use, I don't know, zeros and ones.
H. Foley
It's easy.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, thanks, Mayo. Boom. Got him.

H. Foley
You said, he's going in.
Kevin Ryan
I said, He's 18. He's going. He's currently in high school is what I said.
H. Foley
Sign him up for the Army.
Kevin Ryan
He'll show you what it's like.
H. Foley
I would have been a door gunner.
Kevin Ryan
Sign him up for Tiger Schulman. So I just said, hey, man. I realized that. We're like, it's all. Everything's fucking made up and fake. I go, I'll just say he worked for us. Mm. I'll fucking write him a letter of recommendation. Put him on the thing. I'll call a Guy, no one cares. Just get him the job. Just lie. And he was like, oh yeah, I'll let you know if we need to do that. I said I'm here to help. I'm here to scumbag our way up. Big man. I'll go to the interview with him.
H. Foley
He's in his college admissions now. Who is the bug man?
Kevin Ryan
You just crawl across.
H. Foley
I'm right here, man.
Kevin Ryan
You crawl across the ceiling.
H. Foley
Just give it. Crawl out the window.
Kevin Ryan
Bugman engaged. That's so good. All right, let's hear this one's from Tom. $10 Kippy plus size Pampers fundraiser here. He just said my kids got a fat ass. Is it, is it garbage to microwave a frozen lasagna in the office? Microwave them. John's jam up to break room microwave for about 10 to 15 minutes. That is a dirt bag level question on a such specific. It's not the smell. It's going. I'm jamming every dude think about if you were going to microwave yourself.
H. Foley
He's got something in here for 25 minutes.
Kevin Ryan
Dude. If you got a.
H. Foley
That's lunch.
Kevin Ryan
If you got a half hour break and you get in here and he. He's at minute 14, that's half your breaks gone.
H. Foley
You got to do that. Say you get lunch at 11, you got to pop in at 10:30 and throw that in. Yeah, you got.
Kevin Ryan
I'm running in a bath. You get in there, start it early again.
H. Foley
Then you got something in there cooking for 20, 20 minutes with no supervision. That's how the break room blows up. Then you're jammed up. I know the exact. I assume if you're. If this guy's worth any weight worth his salt, that is a Stouffer's mini lasagna. Listen, and those things hit you.
Kevin Ryan
That's not. I'm not. Listen. I'm a big. I'm a hot pocket. I'll do whatever you need me to do, but I think you just gotta go. That's also lasagna at lunch. That's a heavy meal, buddy. You ain't gonna be worth the back half of the down to back nine.
H. Foley
You gotta take lunch at like three for that. You can boy you a cup of coffee. A real strong cup of real strong carrot will get you through to 4:35 o'.
Kevin Ryan
Clock.
H. Foley
But if you're doing a lasagna at noon, dude, you're doing a nooner lasagna and that.
Kevin Ryan
He ain't doing a diet Coke with that. That's a. He's doing some. Something heavy.
H. Foley
That Is sleepy. I remember being so sleepy anytime I would come back for lunch. Like when I worked, I worked at an office briefly. As the. As the. As a dispatcher for a limousine. As a dispatcher for a. For a limousine company. And, man, I'd crush a lunch and just be sending cars to Newark that are supposed to go to jfk. Katie Couric screaming at me.
Kevin Ryan
She was a client coffee lady. I was in a lab. Yeah, we were. I mean, it was pretty well documented. We weren't. When I worked with my family, we weren't allowed to take no lunches. You ain't worth shit. And you weren't. You get in that pickup. You get in a cabinet pickup truck, you start eating a hoogie. It's cold as shit outside. You're going, fuck that. No way. Like that, you ain't worth shit. We would knock off early, go get beers and chicken tenders, shout out to the Ashton Pub.
H. Foley
10 minutes of 1060 away from night, night time.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, you get that. They get that AM radio going and one guy's reading the paper, I'm out. Dude sitting on a bucket snoozing.
H. Foley
A lasagna.
Kevin Ryan
Especially if you're doing. We were doing like. I was, you know, doing labor. So you're like carrying. So, like, you're already physically exhausted. You're sweating and then that. That you cool. You're physically cooled down. It's like halftime.
H. Foley
You got the meat sweats in the winter. That sucks.
Kevin Ryan
But in office, I'm like a wide receiver. I got to stay on a bike even when I'm all, you know, keep the legs moving, keep the sweat going. Get me the J.
H. Foley
Did you. Did you ever. Did you ever fuck with Stouffer's like that when you were a kid? I know the French bread, obviously, but I remember my mom.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, I didn't do Stouffer's French bread till I was in college.
H. Foley
My mom every once in a while would get like a Stouffer's. It would be the big Stouffer's lasagna. You had to put that in like three weeks before you wanted to eat it. Yeah, it was like. It was like an hour and a half.
Kevin Ryan
That would. That to me. We were never planning that far ahead. That would be like. There was one in there.
H. Foley
I remember her getting home from work at like 5:30 and putting that in and seeing the timer on it. Seven o'. Clock. What are you, Spanish? What the fuck are we doing here, lady? I got school in the morning. Go take a siesta and not to mention that thing comes out of the oven at 7:30. You can't go near that fucking thing. No, that's like Chernobyl eating an elephant's foot middle.
Kevin Ryan
Still cold.
H. Foley
Dude, that thing would be boiling.
Kevin Ryan
We always had. We were. My mom, we were. My mom was a big Lean Cuisine. A lot of frozen.
H. Foley
Frozen. They're little though, these fucking big lasagnas.
Kevin Ryan
I'm telling you. I understand what you're saying. My. My stepmom. Sometimes for dinner, which I didn't hate because the cheese was like watery, creamy, soupy.
H. Foley
Wait, do I know what you're going with? You're talking about the Jolly Green Giant cheese and broccoli.
Kevin Ryan
No, my mom would make that for Danny. Danny would eat the whole bowl of that. That might as well been alien brains.
H. Foley
Are you kidding me? That stuff is awesome.
Kevin Ryan
I get it. I get it now. But as a fucking. I mean he was. I used to think, man, I was five. I'm like, get the out of here.
H. Foley
I used to think it was weird though when they would put the. The plastic bag in boiling water. Yeah, that don't seem.
Kevin Ryan
We would do it in the microwave.
H. Foley
That's all you had. Stove was for heat.
Kevin Ryan
That was for a long time.
H. Foley
I had that on broil.
Kevin Ryan
Watching my mom do that. I'm not heating a whole friggin house, by the way.
H. Foley
I'm upside down in this energy bill. Sure that AC has been running, dude. I've been looking the other way on that for a month or two. Wait till I catch this up. Well, you can turn it off on me. Can't, it's illegal.
Kevin Ryan
Elderly goddamn veteran. I'm in the fucking buddies of America. Can't shut my. Shut my.
H. Foley
Don't make me come over there and hit you with a karate chop.
Kevin Ryan
No, we used to do this for like dinner. We would do a side of the microwave. Stouffers, Mac and cheese.
H. Foley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
And I remember being like, I. More. We were America's choice. The craft vert, of course. You know, like the blue box. America's choice, blue box. Then she. My. My stepmom would do Velveeta. But then sometimes she. I guess she had a taste for that. She would do that.
H. Foley
That's. The pasta is too mushy.
Kevin Ryan
It's too thin. It like dissolves. It's crazy. I liked it though, dude. The second you whacked out with a can of coke, it was gone. It was like it didn't even happen. It was fucking like Criss angel just eating the Eucharist. Yeah, very I did love that stuff, though. Yeah. I remember my fucking. My stepdad hit me with a meatloaf. Hungry man. When I was real young, my mom. The first day he watched us, I might have. First time he watched us. And dude, there was like. I was. Listen, I was a young kid. I wasn't a gravy guy. I wasn't a fucking red meat.
H. Foley
He might as well gave you a cigar to chew on. I loved him.
Kevin Ryan
I get. I. I get it. But at that age, first of all.
H. Foley
I'm like, me and my brother were big Salisbury steak boys.
Kevin Ryan
That's exactly. And I go. First of all, I go. My mom does the cooking. I just met this guy. He's smoking a. Smoking a. Winston. Microwaving me.
H. Foley
That's got the chocolate brownie, though.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Oh, I touch. I. Oh, I dabbled in a brownie.
H. Foley
Those things are bangers.
Kevin Ryan
I dabbled in. I remember just. I go, there's no way I'm touching them vegetables. No freaking way. I did scoops of the mashed potatoes into the gravy. I dabbed them in the gravy. Wet my beacons. Yeah, I sucked. But I remember going. I'm like, dude, you're new here. This don't. I'm a picky eater, and it ain't this, okay? Go get the chicken nuggies or Diego waffles. We're having dinner.
H. Foley
I see an onion, I freak.
Kevin Ryan
I didn't like that onion bread. I love it now. That onion bread hit me with that one time from Super Fresh. I said, buddy, hey, man, there's bugs on this. I don't like vegetables in my bread. I didn't. I remember getting caught with it.
H. Foley
They scraped these mosquitoes off.
Kevin Ryan
He had buttered it already, and I didn't know. And, like, a long string of onion freaked.
H. Foley
Dental flaws in here.
Kevin Ryan
Worms, dude. No way. You got worm bread, you freak out. What's this beat? Oh, yeah. Took me a while to go back. Yeah. Back on Adors.
H. Foley
He lied to you. Covered it up. Covered it up with cream cheese. Get you to eat it.
Kevin Ryan
It's the same thing. Just eat it. It's flavor. Yeah. I don't like it. They always hit me with. Yeah.
H. Foley
Nightcrawler flavor, baby. You got a Kings of Wyatt back there? You got any Stick to the islands, baby.
Kevin Ryan
You got any Pillsbury? There's. There's worms.
H. Foley
Ah, Pillsbury. Doughboy never lied.
Kevin Ryan
Put any that in there, that's goddamn America straight up the middle.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Not trying to be French or whatever that is. Onions in your bread.
H. Foley
Lasagna in the break room.
Kevin Ryan
That's great.
H. Foley
You got some people pissed at you, but you got a nice lunch.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
Delicious. Sorry.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
That. You can't. You gotta have silverware. Silverware.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
You can't.
Kevin Ryan
You can't because the fork starts melting. That carries a high temp. That's a high heat. That oil in those things, you can't.
H. Foley
Cut through those lasagna. They're thick as shit. That's like a comforter. Trying to slice through that.
Kevin Ryan
Nothing's.
H. Foley
You're not doing that with a fucking plastic knife.
Kevin Ryan
Nothing's worse than having to listen. I'm a big plastic utensil guy. We lunch here, play. But it's like. It's for certain foods at certain times when you're trying to. When it's that and it's not heavy enough or. And you're just gonna. It just. It ruins the meal for me. I go, this is so unenjoyable. I'm thinking too much. I'm trying too hard. I look like an idiot.
H. Foley
You're eating a whole lasagna.
Kevin Ryan
It's just the sheet.
H. Foley
Yeah, because you can't get through the cheese. That stuff's hard like a dickhead.
Kevin Ryan
This is in the. This is in the same thing. This is from Sawed Off Scott Gun. Great name, man. That guy calls him the Salt. That guy calls himself the Scott. The Sawed Off Scot Gun Scott gun out. $20 hoagie. No big deal. Is it garbage to heat up a Lean Cuisine just to put it in another container to take to work? So they think you made it. My mom used to do this.
H. Foley
I like that.
Kevin Ryan
I respect that. As someone who carries a lot of shame in certain areas, that makes you famous, you know, it looks like leftovers or something. It's not. I respect that.
H. Foley
I don't want to burst the bubble. No one bought that. Those Lean Cuisines, they carry a certain particular scent.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
That's tough to fake.
Kevin Ryan
But if you get a good look at it. But if you microwave it at home, get that first, cook and then maybe just heat it up.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
Or it's all. You know what I mean?
H. Foley
A little garlic salt.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Fucking hit it with a little bit of, you know, oregano or something. That might not be bad.
H. Foley
I like to move.
Kevin Ryan
All right, let's see here. This one's from the real Estelle Gettys.
H. Foley
Keep an eye on the stock price of frozen dinners. There might be a little bump after this episode. Yeah, they're getting a lot of conversation.
Kevin Ryan
They're getting their Due. Let's hear. Is it garbage or grow up with your uncle living in the garage in your backyard? He hit his head on a fire pit ring when he was 18 and got scar tissue on his brain. He was never able to have a regular job because of disability. So he built an apartment on the backside of our garage. And he's lived there now for 41 years. He just smoke weed? He just smokes weed, blasts Zeppelin and complains about the American government all day. Talk about living the life. That's what family's for though, I gotta give you that.
H. Foley
Got it.
Kevin Ryan
He got jammed up at an early age. Caught a bad hand. It sounds like if he's building his own apartment, he could be working. I think the disability thing is just to keep the checks coming.
H. Foley
Sure. Which smoking doobies, Guys getting high.
Kevin Ryan
And he built a goddamn apartment. I like it, but I respect. And that's what families. That's what a. That's a good dirtbag family. Listen, I can't let you in a house. Been going through my wife's underwear drawer.
H. Foley
We gotta have a space.
Kevin Ryan
You can go out back. The backyard's yours. Have at it.
H. Foley
Probably fun for the kids too.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Smoking weed with them. Sure. Teaching them karate.
H. Foley
Definitely. Get the high school. You know where to go. You go for the stash?
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Yo.
H. Foley
Of course, you might have a flashback. Start fucking pulling out the machete.
Kevin Ryan
Get that screwdriver to your head. I'll do it. Man. That's Uncle Gary. He's fucked up. He's cool though. All right. This one's from Victor Mendoza. $10, bozo. Never had one. Read. Is it garbage? Appointed the menu while telling your server what you want. I know I look like a toddler doing it, but I can't physically stop myself. I do it when I can't pronounce the word. At an Italian restaurant.
H. Foley
Or you want to make sure you're on the same page. Because I've been screwed by that.
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean?
H. Foley
Like, I can't remember what the item was. It was like there was two chicken dishes. One had like fucking, you know, cheese. It might have been like a Sorrentino or something like that. And I pointed at the wrong one and got like grilled chicken and vegetables.
Kevin Ryan
The heck Hungry Man Meatloaf.
H. Foley
I didn't get my pudding. Yeah, I'm going to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't know the words. You got to do that. That's the way it's got to go, man. I get it.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh. I'll go. Like. Because a Lot of times you go to these places that stop putting pretty much any English on the menu. You go to, like, a decent Italian joint that really wants to be Italian, and you're like, buddy, what's going on here?
H. Foley
I would be a little bit of a.
Kevin Ryan
They'll pull you, and you're like, dude, just say it's chicken. Just say chicken. Don't make me fucking Google stuff. Don't make me look at it. So then it's like, I know I can't pronounce the words correctly, so I'll go, I'll do the chicken. And, like, point at it and hand it to him. And they always go, yeah, you know what? You know I can't say it.
H. Foley
A move you could do.
Kevin Ryan
I just ordered a Coors Light. You know, I can't pronounce it.
H. Foley
The Cures light. A move you can do is yous step above it and you go, I'll do the chicken. Did you want the.
Kevin Ryan
Ooh.
H. Foley
The soaring thing. Usually they'll say on Earth, they just walk away. Hey, wait a minute.
Kevin Ryan
No, give me the option.
H. Foley
I was bluffing. When I started working at, like, most of them were American cuisine, But when I started working at the Greek joint. Shout out to snack tavern over there in the West Village blows permanently.
Kevin Ryan
I just heard someone. Someone just hit us. DM me or. So I saw something.
H. Foley
Yeah, Taverna.
Kevin Ryan
See if you can get eyes on it. I mean, they had a good run.
H. Foley
Restaurants.
Kevin Ryan
A restaurant Stay open. A restaurant in New York stay open for 10, 15 years. Permanently closed.
H. Foley
Maybe cut this.
Kevin Ryan
Why?
H. Foley
I don't know. That's a bummer. Oh, fuck. I always wanted to go back and get that chick. The food at that place was so goddamn good. It was unbelievable.
Kevin Ryan
Great run.
H. Foley
Hell of a run.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, for a restaurant in New York to stay open for a decade is. I would find the average lifespan of it, it's got to be like eight months.
H. Foley
More than a decade. Probably 20 years. It was over.
Kevin Ryan
That's a long time for any business.
H. Foley
Damn it. I wanted that chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwich with, says Patreon. With roasted tomato, arugula, and, like, a mint lime mayo. It was so fucking good. Great spot. Anyway, when I learned all that, I didn't know anything. Tzatziki terra, musalata, Melano, Salata, Bereki's. All this. All this Greek language.
Kevin Ryan
Mm.
H. Foley
I didn't know anything after, like, a year of working there. If somebody misspoke something, I'd be like, you mean the Tata Musa lata? You know what I mean?
Kevin Ryan
It's like. Don't act like you're not. Hit him with fucking whip. It's in the walk in.
H. Foley
I'd hit him with it.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Oh, you mean.
H. Foley
And with wine, I always do the scumbag thing of if I can't pronounce the vineyard, you know, the. Whatever. I'll go. We'll do the cabernet. The second cab. Whatever. Not that one.
Kevin Ryan
No, no, no. I'll do that too.
H. Foley
There's a $15 bottle.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh.
H. Foley
Half carafe.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Average lifespan of a New York City restaurant is. They're saying five years. That's pretty good. Yeah, but 80% fail within that first five years.
H. Foley
Hmm.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. That's the time. Tough racket. Tough racket. How many restaurants open up in the city every year? Yeah, I think, like, pizza, please. I mean, it's like crazy. It's gotta be nuts. All right, let's see here.
H. Foley
Funny. My boy.
Kevin Ryan
Your boy? Who? You ain't got boys.
H. Foley
I do.
Kevin Ryan
In 2024, it was over 1200 new establishments.
H. Foley
Hmm.
Kevin Ryan
That's. That's my boy.
H. Foley
My boy, who I worked with, just had lunch there. Good actor.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
John Gorman. Johnny Gorman.
Kevin Ryan
Shout out to him. All right, let's see here. This one's from Bobby T. $10, homie. Never had one. Red. Are you garbage if your parent made you try to sleep off a broken bone? Broke my wrist rollerblading home from street hockey. When I called my mom to get a ride home, she asked me if my leg was broken. I never got to sleep, and she took me to the doctor in the morning. Denise ain't gonna like this, but that was her method. That was like. I knew it was because you fall. I think I broke my wrist. Chances are it was probably sprained. It wasn't broken, but every one of us had broken a bone. Where her thing was. Go to bed if you can't sleep through the night.
H. Foley
That's fucking crazy.
Kevin Ryan
I know it's broken.
H. Foley
Well, you. Could you sleep?
Kevin Ryan
No. You had a broken arm, a broken hand. Wake up. Take me to the doctor.
H. Foley
Wake up. You'd have to wait till the morning.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
So you just laid there all night?
Kevin Ryan
Well, listen. Yeah.
H. Foley
In pain.
Kevin Ryan
It's not like I got hit with a fucking. You know. It's not like a broken hand. Yeah, but.
H. Foley
Oh, I would have freaked out.
Kevin Ryan
Bones don't have nerves.
H. Foley
Is that true?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
You sure do.
Kevin Ryan
Ain't that a lot?
H. Foley
Bones don't have nerves.
Kevin Ryan
I don't think so. No. Get eyes on that. It's the tissue around it. I Think.
H. Foley
What if it was a compound fracture? Still sleeping.
Kevin Ryan
I had. I had close to one of those.
H. Foley
I don't believe you. What?
Kevin Ryan
Look like a Civil War reenactment. It's commonly thought bones don't have nerves. Not entirely true. Outside the bone. Like the outside part of the bone does have some nerves.
H. Foley
There'd be people walking around with broken bones.
Kevin Ryan
They do all the time. I had a broken bone for a year and didn't know what.
H. Foley
What.
Kevin Ryan
This one. My navicular, AKA my scaphoid bone. That's why I had a surgery, because it broke and healed in two different pieces.
H. Foley
Huh. Is that your business hand?
Kevin Ryan
No. Pleasure hand.
H. Foley
That's what I mean.
Kevin Ryan
No. Oh, left hand.
H. Foley
You wouldn't. Left hand.
Kevin Ryan
My left hand. What don't you get about that?
H. Foley
You're a righty. There you go in the boudoir. Lefty on the tennis court, though. Hell of a backhand lefty in the locker room.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. No, it was like if you sleep. If I. You know, if you couldn't sleep through the night. He was a fucking single mom working third Shit.
H. Foley
He came from the hospital, man, I was. I was soft.
Kevin Ryan
There was also.
H. Foley
I couldn't sleep with warts. When she put the wart remover on my hand, that shit burned little. I'd be in there banging on their door. My dad trying to get a little piece of nasty.
Kevin Ryan
Huh.
H. Foley
Here comes the blocker.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, you guys aren't having fun without me, are you?
H. Foley
I'm here to ruin my. My figure's burning.
Kevin Ryan
There's no.
H. Foley
Patty would always peel off the top of it and then put it on.
Kevin Ryan
How you get to the roots.
H. Foley
She loved that.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, you're gross.
H. Foley
She'd sit there underneath the. Out in the corner of the couch under a. Under a desk lamp with the tweezers and a fucking exacto knife and fucking with a heater in her mouth. It's like going like a mob doctor. A bunch of dogs barking around me.
Kevin Ryan
We also knew that you're not. Nothing can happen until working hours. You got to go to an orthopedic and they're like. You go to the. You go to the er. You're going to get your X rays at fucking whatever, midnight.
H. Foley
They're not going to put it in a cast.
Kevin Ryan
They'll put it in a splint. No, they're not going to put it in a cast. It has to be seen by an orthopedic surgeon who goes. Who reads it and goes, yes, that is broken. I'm prescribing You a cast and puts it in a cast.
H. Foley
Look at you. George Clooney.
Kevin Ryan
I've had a lot of broken bones.
H. Foley
George Clooney, er.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, Don. I knew. I knew what you're doing.
H. Foley
That would be. You should. You should do a Clooney. Comb your hair forward.
Kevin Ryan
That's not great. No, it doesn't go back.
H. Foley
I wouldn't mind seeing that.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
Comb hair, comb forward.
Kevin Ryan
A few things I wouldn't mind seeing you do either. The treadmill.
H. Foley
Drop dead.
Kevin Ryan
Be nice to people. No. Yeah, that's. I get it. It's tough, but it like my. We were. We have the. No. From so many nurses and people working in hospitals in my family, they know it's like you're not going to do it. Even if, like that happens on a Saturday, they'll put it in a splint or like an air cast and go, you gotta. You gotta call an orthopedic and schedule on Monday. And at St. Mary's I couldn't see Dr. Krajewski until Monday. We had my leg and my hand shout out.
H. Foley
My buddy Charlie's mom was a ER nurse and she worked over at Suburban. I believe it was. It was always nice if you had to go there late night for something, whatever. And she was there. Very comforting.
Kevin Ryan
Denise. The one time I fucked my leg up very bad, told the story, was hanging off from the knee down. Eight years old. Denise picked me up. She came from whatever. So Denise is in her scrubs, takes me to the er. They're gonna have to perform emergency surgery in the ER because there's not an or open. So she goes, that can't. You're. She's like, you're not. So she walked back behind because she kind of just blended in. She started picking up phones and calling any contact because like a different hospital.
H. Foley
Or the hospital she worked at, there's a different hospital.
Kevin Ryan
We're at same area.
H. Foley
So this is like if she worked at Acme and she was over at shoprite calling the produce department like, yo, what are you doing with the producer?
Kevin Ryan
No, she's not calling that. This is like pre cell phone. She's not calling that. Or she's calling all of our. We're like Fight Club for lower level hospital workers, right? She's calling any other nurse, any other admin she knows at any other hospital. Got a bed open to go. We gotta get the fat one.
H. Foley
Fell in a retaining pond. You believe that shit? I'm trying to work.
Kevin Ryan
I'm trying to get down as short as we can. If that Fuck. Broke his leg. See if you can sleep.
H. Foley
You're probably off the couch for like 20 minutes.
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean? That day, I never got on the couch. I woke up, went to school, went home to. Went home on Liam's bus, and then went rope swinging. And that's. That's too fat to be rope.
H. Foley
First swing.
Kevin Ryan
Last. Last one.
H. Foley
How many of you. How many had you done? I never asked you that. Did you get a full day out of it or.
Kevin Ryan
We were done. I was jumping in to rinse off and, like, I jumped out of the tree and I wasn't swinging out, I just jumped out. So I didn't get the distance away from the.
H. Foley
From the bank, right onto a.
Kevin Ryan
Right onto a root or a rock. I don't know. Maybe they always serpent.
H. Foley
They always say that you got to watch that. Like, if you're like. One of the things that makes the east river dangerous is there's a bunch of piers that got taken down and the things are still underneath there. Imagine diving in and getting impaled on that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Ouch. That's all those. Barnacle. Only in New York ever get sliced up by barnacle crawling out of the. Coming out of the bay.
Kevin Ryan
Why are you not pluralizing it barnacle? By barnacles, you would be sliced by barnacles.
H. Foley
Barnacle is the plural of it.
Kevin Ryan
I don't think so.
H. Foley
Yeah, barnacle. You don't say barnacles.
Kevin Ryan
I think I'm. This is the argument. I think, you know, I could be wrong.
H. Foley
What's the plural of barnacles? Of barnacles?
Kevin Ryan
Yes. Barnacles is the. Are you sure?
H. Foley
That sound like a name of a bar or something like that? I've gotten up there.
Kevin Ryan
Got my sea legs back.
H. Foley
I'm the captain now.
Kevin Ryan
All right?
H. Foley
I'm stupid.
Kevin Ryan
No, I'm not saying. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't. Don't don't put that.
H. Foley
You're a medical professional and I'm a dumbass.
Kevin Ryan
First of all, barnacles have nothing to do with the medical profession.
H. Foley
You never use those.
Kevin Ryan
You put them on leeches.
H. Foley
Take the poison, IBM.
Kevin Ryan
But she got back in and started calling places to see if she could get, you know, if we get transferred.
H. Foley
Taking you out of there.
Kevin Ryan
Then they did, and something opened up.
H. Foley
Nice room on the top floor. Sweet.
Kevin Ryan
Had a nice view.
H. Foley
Now, would. Would they have put you in an ambulance or would she have taken you.
Kevin Ryan
Over in the Ford Taurus at that point? The champagne for. Weren't you bleeding out of dead beat?
H. Foley
I was.
Kevin Ryan
Brutus. Yeah. I was gushing. I was. It was a. It looked like a shark bite.
H. Foley
So how are they going to wrap you up? Take you over to another hospital?
Kevin Ryan
I was. I mean, that was the. I think.
H. Foley
Were you tourniqueted?
Kevin Ryan
No.
H. Foley
Your boys didn't turn, give you a tourniquet?
Kevin Ryan
No. At all.
H. Foley
I would have tourniquet at you.
Kevin Ryan
An old woman. They wrapped. They wrapped me up in.
H. Foley
Fucking really wrenched it on there.
Kevin Ryan
First Liam's brother Rory, wrapped me up in his T shirt. Then they carried me. I've told this on Patreon. Then the. My boy was in the Boy Scouts. He clocked a picnic, turn him into a teepee, spit your tent in his pants.
H. Foley
He made me a birdhouse real quick.
Kevin Ryan
That helmet's supposed to do with a derby car.
H. Foley
Shout out to the derby car. I've seen some real shitty ones.
Kevin Ryan
He ran back, he saw a picnic table. They kicked the legs off. They carried me to this old woman's house in the woods. She wrapped me in her kitchen towels, got me to Liam's house. My mom just so happened to be there to pick me up. Didn't know all this. Put me in the Taurus, drove me to St. Mary's drag you behind the.
H. Foley
Car on the picnic table.
Kevin Ryan
Eve. Gross.
H. Foley
I'm sure I made that joke up.
Kevin Ryan
Probably. But all that being said, yes, we had to wait overnight. For the most part. They know that. My mom still, even with the baby now, I go, hey, this. She goes, this is the lay of the land. This is what can be done. These are your options. This is the best provider to go to an urgent care that. Like, this is. She goes, this is the scope of the service you're going to get. And this is the best place to achieve that service. You know what I mean? Denise, she knows what she's doing in there.
H. Foley
Say whatever. Lankan all got him at lank and all.
Kevin Ryan
She used to work in a blood bank. Hematology, Denise. She used to answer the phone I used to call. And so I call a hospital. Lab Laurie would answer. She'd pick up, go, Lab Laurie. Like, thinking it could be, like, a doctor calling in, like, blood tests. They're like, I'm looking for the results for a police player. No, I just go. I would go, is my mom there? Just answer. I'd call a hospital and ask for my mom like she owned the hospital.
H. Foley
Or just tell her we're out of Kraft Sickles.
Kevin Ryan
Tell her her boyfriend's here trying to give me fucking roast beef out of the goddamn microwave. No, Dango, tell him to stop ashing in my macaroni and cheese.
H. Foley
Would you do that? Would you call her work bitching?
Kevin Ryan
No, we have for sure. For sure. That was the big threat. I'm gonna call mom because me, Danny and Sarah all were in the house After Joe brought him in the house. No, me, Danny and Sarah were all watched. Well, they watched whatever. It was bad. We were all fist fighting and.
H. Foley
Shut up.
Kevin Ryan
Crazy Sarah was a fucking. She had a right hook that was fucking knock the taste out of your mouth.
H. Foley
Fucking wise ass.
Kevin Ryan
That little bit. And the threat was always, I'm gonna call mom. And if you called mom, problem. That was you. That was a bomb. So it was like, I'm really gonna. I'll just ruin the week. I'm gonna call mom and say Danny's doing whatever. Danny stole the car or whatever.
H. Foley
He's been calling my mom at work when she worked at the fucking office. God damn it, dude. What?
Kevin Ryan
Mm.
H. Foley
I'm working.
Kevin Ryan
My mom used to have to. I've been to the hospital when, like, I didn't have daycare or, like, nowhere to go, and I've finished shifts with.
H. Foley
My mom doing this thing.
Kevin Ryan
What centrifuge or whatever.
H. Foley
I was gonna call it the centurion, but I figured since the barnacles debacle, I keep my yap shot. I call my dad sitting there, talk to him for, like, 45 minutes. He's chilling. Yeah, call over Willow Grove air station. You, planes are correct, Chief Foley speaking. Pop, what's going on? I can shoot the shit for a little while. Hanging out, hanging fucking boys.
Kevin Ryan
Vibing.
H. Foley
Chilling.
Kevin Ryan
Okay, let's see here. This is Tooty and the blowfish. Never have one red. Ever step in dog shit and get busted it out in class? Bad day at school, dude. Having dog shit on you and not knowing is like the biggest fear. Because it. Someone goes. Because you smell it, you might not think much of it. And then you.
H. Foley
It's not. So you're in closed doors and someone.
Kevin Ryan
Goes, the hell's that? And you feel a spike up your spine, dude. A chill.
H. Foley
You know it's you before you even look because it's too close. It feels like. It feels like the dog. And standing right behind use.
Kevin Ryan
You're afraid to turn around because it's.
H. Foley
Always in, like, the back of your heel on the right.
Kevin Ryan
It ain't an easy clean. That sucks, dude.
H. Foley
Oh, that. Sneakers thrown out. That's that. You got dog in your sneakers. Now you're throwing them out, right?
Kevin Ryan
Oh, yeah. It's a germ thing. Because I like Never goes away. I like wearing my sneaks inside. Like I don't. Not the guy with like, I have to run inside. I'm like, I'll walk. I like, I. I don't mind walking in my house with my sneaks on because they're relatively clean. And it's like if I step in dog shit, I can never wear those.
H. Foley
You never caught in a Hansi bomb?
Kevin Ryan
No. Other dogs?
H. Foley
Hansi. Ied?
Kevin Ryan
No, they.
H. Foley
You hear that click, you know it's over.
Kevin Ryan
Looks over and drops a pin.
H. Foley
Crawls into a rabbit?
Kevin Ryan
No. Well, when you. I spent a lot of time in the city walking my dog. And then you. And you're in a place where dogs typically. And he's pulling you, you know, walking through the grass at night. You're screwed. Goddamn animals.
H. Foley
That's such a good question. You know, it's over.
Kevin Ryan
That happened to Flip in eighth grade. He stepped in dog and it got in his Woo Wear pants and he got called out. So like before class say class started at. He had a pair of. He had a pair of Woo Wear khakis that he wear. He wore every day.
H. Foley
What's Wu Tang?
Kevin Ryan
Had their own clothing brand in the late 90s, early 2000s.
H. Foley
How did he get on his pants?
Kevin Ryan
Called Woowear because they were baggy, hanging over the back of his shoes. Woo wear. These ain't skinny jeans. I'm talking. Yeah, like that type in Woo wear or that Woowear.
H. Foley
Funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Kevin Ryan
Woo did. They had blue right here. It said Woo wear. So like you knew they were the same ones every day. They were thick as shit. They were wide as a motherfucker. Yeah, whatever. A pair of Woo Wear khakis got on his pants. Got on his pants and dude, he got. So we all had to meet. This is in junior high drop off maybe school started at 8:15, so drop offs like 7:30 to 8:15. At 8:10 a bell would ring. That meant like start getting. You have five minutes to get to class. So if you got to school before 8:10, you weren't allowed to like wander up through the school you all had. We had to stay in like the cafeteria and wait until maybe 8:10 because I guess they didn't have enough people to like watch the whole school.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
So everybody had to stay centralized and so we'd all be hanging out and that was when like we're all getting into like our own kind. We're all getting into music and you know you're like have a fashion choice like you're not just, like, in whatever fucking clothes your parents had. And we'd all hang out on these, like, risers, they were called. And he stepped in shit and someone sniped them right away. And he ran. He was like, I mean, beautiful. I'm looking back, beautiful. Problem solving. He went, I'm not spending all day with shit on my pants. And I'm not going to the nurse to get, like, a pair of sweatpants or whatever to wear.
H. Foley
Just left.
Kevin Ryan
He ran out the front door. Because you're not allowed to leave once you're at school. You can't leave. So he just snuck out when, like, the buses were coming in and then had to. His whole idea is like, I gotta get off property. So he, you know, T1000 ran, made it across the field like it was like, banned. A brother. Like, he was that dude running through the stone or whatever.
H. Foley
Lieutenant Pierce. Yeah, Captain Pierce.
Kevin Ryan
Turn around and kill. Came right back. I don't think the Germans knew what to do with him.
H. Foley
Oh, when that guy runs through that smoke, ooh, he was the man. So I don't know why that guy's not working more. I love that guy.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. So then someone saw Flip running out of school. Like there was on a bus coming in and was like, what the hell just happened to Flip? Like, hey, he stabbed the dog yet?
H. Foley
So what? He go home and change and come back or call it a day.
Kevin Ryan
