Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
Hey, you.
Kevin Ryan
Happy birthday.
H. Foley
I do have somewhat disturbing news. The. That I think I have to share with the audience, unfortunately, has to do with you.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. I think I know where this is. This the thing you couldn't wrap your head around.
H. Foley
I think it's gonna take away a lot of your convictions.
Kevin Ryan
Okay?
H. Foley
Like, if you were a prosecutor, a lot of the shit that you run your mouth about, that you say this, you say that, you make fun of me for. Is gonna get washed away.
Kevin Ryan
I've never seen you react to a sentence. I said, I don't.
H. Foley
Luke's not gonna understand this.
Kevin Ryan
It's not. And I. I gotta be honest with you. I don't fully understand it. I. Dude, you were smoking a cig. You flicked the cig. Wasn't even done. He's like three drags. He flicked a cigarette.
H. Foley
I just think the homies in the bozo should all know. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin was a fan, a big fan of the television show that ran from 1998 to 2004 on CBS called Becker with Ted Danson. I think he just blew the watch. Becker. Becker. The show about the misanthropic family practice in the Bronx.
Kevin Ryan
Was that where it took place? Riverdale? I had no idea you watched Becker.
H. Foley
Listen, that was after Cheers. I remember being like, what the fuck is Sam Malone doing?
Kevin Ryan
These dorks. So you're upset at fictional characters. The characters.
H. Foley
Get out of here.
Kevin Ryan
With fictional characters and other fictional characters hanging around a dork. Listen, I don't.
H. Foley
Cbs.
Kevin Ryan
What's the problem? You stink.
H. Foley
That's the problem. You're running your mouth like you're some kind of cool guy. You might as well been watching Designing Women, which I would have respected a little bit more.
Kevin Ryan
Great program. That's a great program. Yeah. So what are you talking about? Listen, I don't. I'm not saying I wasn't in the studio audience. You know what I mean? I wasn't. I wasn't watching I Love Becker. I said that was a good show. No, no, no, no. Let's pull it all back.
H. Foley
No, you said you love Becky.
Kevin Ryan
No, no, no.
H. Foley
You want to have his babies. You make fun of me for watching Cheer or watching mash. So many shows.
Kevin Ryan
I want. No, no.
H. Foley
Crazy.
Kevin Ryan
I make fun of you now.
H. Foley
If you don't know Becker, you really have to. You have to, like, put yourself in this time and place.
Kevin Ryan
Pause.
H. Foley
It was like if Old Navy made a TV show, it was just.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it was fun. You shop at Old Navy.
H. Foley
It would. Not anymore. I don't fit anything in there.
Kevin Ryan
Jokes on them suckers. Hold on. You. I don't make fun of you for watching mash. I make fun of you for referencing. For making mash jokes 70 years later than getting upset when we don't get 70 years later. Whatever. Also, I didn't say I love Becker. We were watching something and we said, what is that guy from? It was Mocha Joe. And I said, and he's also from Becker. And you would have thought I peed in your Cheerios. That was crazy.
H. Foley
And you went.
Kevin Ryan
You watched Becker? I said, yeah, you're like. With the blind guy. Like, you were upset that the guy was blind.
H. Foley
What guy?
Kevin Ryan
The guy that owns the newsstand.
H. Foley
What guy owns the newsstand? Newsstand. The blind guy in Becker?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
I don't know what the hell.
Kevin Ryan
No.
H. Foley
I don't even know what someone's talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know. Listen, I'm not a fucking Becker super fan. I never watched the show. I didn't know that anybody on the show was filibuster. I wouldn't have any problem with that. Why would I care if the guy was blind? I was making fun of Tommy because he has his. When he has his sunglasses on, he looks blind.
Kevin Ryan
You're just combining stuff. This is. This is. This is this. This is the defense of a madman. I'VE sat here and stood my ground.
H. Foley
And honestly, this man watches Becker and that's all we need to know.
Kevin Ryan
I've told the people out there what actually happened. Did I watch Becker? It's fucking Ted Danson. What are we even talking? We got Ted Danson and Mocha Joe in the same program yet again.
H. Foley
Nah, stop.
Kevin Ryan
They were. He was before Larry David. Larry David sold a talent.
H. Foley
Mocha Joe wasn't Mocha Joe yet. I got nothing against the guy playing Mocha Joe. I have something against the fact that you. You watched Becker at that time and place in the corner of the world. Like, did you watch it? Did you and your mom sit there and watch it, both wearing dresses?
Kevin Ryan
Was it a.
Theresi
What?
H. Foley
Smoking cigarettes?
Kevin Ryan
First of all, Denise stopped smoking years before that, okay? She only did a little. Little puff. Becker called her at a bar.
H. Foley
You were in high school at the time too?
Kevin Ryan
98. 98. I was in fucking seventh grade.
H. Foley
That's even worse, man. Put on a cartoon.
Kevin Ryan
Watching it's cartoon in seventh grade. This is. This is why we're different. Humans.
H. Foley
What's wrong with the cart? Oh, you were watching sophisticated adult contemporary
Kevin Ryan
comedies, Becker about doctors in the Bronx. Yeah, people are doing the living and dying in this city, not fucking cartoons.
H. Foley
Yeah, what neighborhood in the Bronx did Becker live at?
Kevin Ryan
The one up there by Little Italy.
H. Foley
None of that set fits the Bronx. I've been up there late night looking for dudes.
Kevin Ryan
Um, can we get a little bit of. What were the reviews of Becker? See, this is very fun to me
H. Foley
because critically acclaimed, everybody loved it. But seventh graders. Not seventh graders. I listen. I just strike it as odd. We don't need to beat this to death. I just strike it as odd.
Kevin Ryan
Well, no, now that I'm going, let me see. Some reviews are going. You want to backpedal?
H. Foley
I don't listen, stop saying backpedal.
Kevin Ryan
Someone's backpedal.
H. Foley
Cause I'll freak out. I'm not backpedaling. You have nothing on me about the blind guy.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that's. That made all that up.
H. Foley
None of this.
Kevin Ryan
That was your joke. You're like the blind guy with the newsstand.
H. Foley
I didn't even know what you were talking about. What blind guy with the newsstand? I didn't know there was a newsstand involved.
Kevin Ryan
What? A backpedaler would say no
H. Foley
crazy.
Kevin Ryan
What do we have? Just how many. How many rotten tomatoes?
Producer
We got an 87% popcorn score.
H. Foley
I just.
Kevin Ryan
That good.
H. Foley
I just. I just said critically acclaimed. Everybody liked it. Just not seventh graders.
Producer
MASH only got an 82.
Kevin Ryan
Here we go.
H. Foley
Don't start that shit.
Kevin Ryan
Don't you think Kippy rules.
H. Foley
Everybody knows.
Kevin Ryan
First of all, I'm getting a Becker tattoo.
H. Foley
I'm not into a mash Becker debate. Mash is one of the. First of all, MASH is one of the. Mash was the most watched at last television episode ever.
Kevin Ryan
First of all, there's no need to get into a bait. The tribe is spoken and mash stinks. Becker's awesome. Obviously, everybody knows that.
H. Foley
What's it called? What's the name of that website? Get the fuck out of here with that. That's bought and sold. I think Trident owns that.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, you think Becker. Bought and so sold.
H. Foley
No, that website is bought and sold.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, for movies. Not.
H. Foley
That's all fake.
Kevin Ryan
For Becker. Becker. Oh, I got him dead there. You're like my wife. You're like my wife. You're a pedo. That's when I know I got you against.
H. Foley
I'm making fun of you for saying Becker like that. You don't have me up against anything.
Kevin Ryan
Yes. First of all, you're lying, you're backpedaling and you're mimicking. Those are three telltale signs of.
H. Foley
These are all made up.
Kevin Ryan
What did you not just backpedal and.
H. Foley
I didn't backpedal once, ok? Not once. What did I backpedal on? You made up the whole thing or misremembered the thing about us getting into a conversation about Mocha Joe being a blind guy and I didn't like it?
Kevin Ryan
You just said that.
H. Foley
I don't even remember.
Kevin Ryan
Listen.
H. Foley
Knowing.
Kevin Ryan
Okay, listen. Critically acclaimed and I don't think it
H. Foley
was Mocha Joe that was in the show. We were trying to figure out.
Kevin Ryan
It was Mocha Joe.
H. Foley
Okay?
Kevin Ryan
I know. I'm a super fan. It was Mocha Joe. All right, Listen, I'm just saying. You got Ted Danson, you got Mocha Joe. Who else did that? Larry David. What else did Larry David create? Curb youb Enthusiasm. Seinfeld. He knows what he's doing. He sees those two stars, those two talents, you put them on screen, you got yourself a goddamn hit. That what other two program. What other program have those two guys been in? They're not in Mrs. They're in amazing shows.
H. Foley
Okay?
Kevin Ryan
That's all I'm saying.
H. Foley
All right? You watch Becker. You like Becker? That's totally cool. I'm sorry I brought it up. I dig it, man.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Maybe we got to watch it.
Kevin Ryan
We should watch it.
H. Foley
We should watch it together.
Kevin Ryan
Expand your horizons.
H. Foley
Yes.
Kevin Ryan
Maybe it's not all Cartoons and Sopranos. A little higher level highbrow comedy about. I didn't even know it was about a family pride. I thought he worked at a hospital. It only took place in the coffee shop, right?
H. Foley
I don't know, man. I don't watch it.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, right.
H. Foley
I didn't.
Kevin Ryan
This is, this is. You're like one of those, one of those like congressmen who's like anti gay and then comes out being gay. I'm gonna catch you at a truck stop watching Pecker later.
H. Foley
Well, now you got watching Pecker. He got me.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I would probably say I saw. I would say probably a cool 128 episodes. How many? There were a syndication.
H. Foley
Of course. I'm not saying it wasn't popular. I'm not saying it wasn't a good show. I'm saying it strikes me as incredibly odd that a seventh grade boy was into the show Becker when it was in prime time into the show. You also got to think this because Becker was a. It was like a, you know, it was coming out of Must See TV and all that kind of stuff. It was just odd. It was very, you know. Yeah, CBS defied and I don't know, man, I thought it, you know, so it's.
Kevin Ryan
So it's weird for whatever says 12 year old boy to be watching a sitcom. That's weird. You were seven watching mash. What's a. What? What is a little. That's not odd. I'm just, I'm just grading your behavior on the grill. The things. You're grading my behavior?
H. Foley
I'll give you that. I'm saying. Yeah, that's a little odd.
Kevin Ryan
A little odd?
H. Foley
A little odd.
Kevin Ryan
You're watching a World War II, Korea, dickhead, whatever. You're watching a war comedy without your family.
H. Foley
Not really. Comedy was more.
Kevin Ryan
I was a laugh a minute.
H. Foley
Are you talking about drama? I don't know. War.
Kevin Ryan
Okay, I'm getting a little weird about this.
Producer
I will say this might have spawned Kippy's alter ego, Kippy Rooney. The show revolves around Becker and the things that annoy him.
H. Foley
That's true. That's true.
Kevin Ryan
Hit me. Kippy Rooney put the eyebrows on me. Isn't it weird?
H. Foley
I don't like square pizza.
Kevin Ryan
I love square pizza. See, now you're just making stuff up and you're backpedaling.
H. Foley
I want all square pizza.
Kevin Ryan
So I like both. I like having the option. When I get pizza, I get a little bit of square. A little bit triangle. Square is a better vehicle if I'm. If we're shooting it Straight and typically has better flavors.
H. Foley
I'm trying to think of other shows that I hated.
Kevin Ryan
I cannot.
H. Foley
You watch it all fine.
Kevin Ryan
I think this. I think you hated that time and place of. You're going, must see TV shit. Like culture changed. And if there's one thing I know about the big dog, he'll like it. So culture changed, and then you're going. You hated what that stood for, the people that watched it.
H. Foley
Meanwhile, I'm a Sam Malone guy, not
Kevin Ryan
some fucking hanging onto the past, man.
H. Foley
Stop it.
Kevin Ryan
You are. You're going. I'm a Sam Malone guy.
H. Foley
Took me a long time to adjust.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
I only liked him in Kirby Enthusiasm because he was fucking Ted Danson and I loved him in Saving Private Ryan. I mean, get the fuck out of here.
Kevin Ryan
He also played Ted Danson in that.
H. Foley
No, he did.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, my God. You're an idiot.
H. Foley
He played Becker. Becker's grandfather. You don't remember that scene? One of the best scenes. I don't.
Kevin Ryan
Who are you talking to?
H. Foley
I don't know.
Kevin Ryan
You're just making grand stuff.
H. Foley
Look, you ever see Saving Private Ryan?
Producer
I'm forgetting Ted Danson in it.
H. Foley
Wow. See? Doesn't forget. Theresi, though. Morning. Theresi.
Kevin Ryan
Man, you're on a war path today.
H. Foley
I am.
Kevin Ryan
You are a little bit. You don't remember that show to get. You don't remember that movie that came out before you were born?
H. Foley
Was it before you were born, buddy? Oh, my God.
Kevin Ryan
Same year, dude.
Producer
It was the year after I was born.
H. Foley
Yeah. Wow.
Kevin Ryan
Cut the guy some fucking crazy. Cut the guy some slack.
H. Foley
I. Yeah, that's nuts.
Kevin Ryan
It's not like your family, where he turned six and they started showing him war propaganda film Top Gun. All right. Jashik's birthday. We're gonna watch Deer Hunter.
H. Foley
Hey, you gotta watch. You find out what a commies. I try to kill you.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I love it. Listen, my TV proclivities are neither here nor there, of course. And listen, guys, if you're a Becker head, hit me up. All right? The Becker heads. It was a fine program. Do I deserve to be ridiculed and drugged through the mud for it?
H. Foley
Struck me funny.
Kevin Ryan
I get that.
H. Foley
Strange.
Kevin Ryan
You also got to cut me a little slack. I feel in the sense that, like,
H. Foley
divorce, all that kind of stuff. Drama. I get it.
Kevin Ryan
There wasn't that much.
H. Foley
You had a rough.
Kevin Ryan
There wasn't that much going on last week.
H. Foley
This is overweight girls probably didn't notice you.
Kevin Ryan
Bad teeth.
H. Foley
Bad teeth.
Kevin Ryan
Going bald. Seven. Bald.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
This is before On Demand. This is before all that kind of shit. So it was just like you kind of. That was a time where you still had to watch what was fucking being watched. And if I wanted to spend any time with my father, it was in front of the television.
H. Foley
Your dad didn't watch Becker?
Kevin Ryan
I don't know. Yeah, I'm just joking. That's.
H. Foley
I know.
Kevin Ryan
Listen, you don't think my dad liked Ted Danson? What? Fucking girl? No.
H. Foley
I met your father once.
Kevin Ryan
You're nuts, dude. You're just a nuts guy.
H. Foley
I met your dad once. No way. He watched Becker.
Kevin Ryan
I haven't talked to him in six years. I want to call him right now, find out if you watch Becker. We'd just do it for the show. That'd be crazy.
H. Foley
That'd be fun. All right, thanks. Bye.
Kevin Ryan
I knew it.
H. Foley
Think he'd pick up?
Kevin Ryan
Probably not. That would be deferred to a voicemail that I would have to go. Hey, just checking in, wondering if you want to get together, watch the Becker. Got the box set.
H. Foley
That would be cool.
Kevin Ryan
Is Becker. Can you watch Becker anywhere? That might be a fun Patreon episode. We watch. We watch an episode of Becker. The highest rated episode.
H. Foley
See if you could turn me.
Kevin Ryan
See if I can.
H. Foley
I got to start from the beginning.
Kevin Ryan
You don't listen, I'm calling.
H. Foley
I can't jump in.
Producer
Can watch it on Pluto tv.
H. Foley
Who's giving me the cash?
Kevin Ryan
We should sell a special to Pluto tv.
H. Foley
Pluto tv.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know. They got Becker, they got cash.
H. Foley
Pluto tv.
Kevin Ryan
Ted dances.
H. Foley
Signing up. I have that on my Samsung and I don't know Samsung, my tv and I didn't pay My calls, their tv.
Kevin Ryan
The brand of the tv. I didn't pay that on my Vizio.
H. Foley
I didn't pay my YouTube TV.
Kevin Ryan
So this guy is just mulching through fucking bits. I didn't pay. I didn't pay. I didn't pay. He didn't pay a lot of bills. Trust me, I know that.
H. Foley
I've been watching Pluto tv.
Kevin Ryan
That's funny.
H. Foley
I mean, a steamroll. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
It's okay.
Producer
That means you're doing bad.
Kevin Ryan
Luke.
H. Foley
What do you say?
Kevin Ryan
Watching Pluto tv. What are you hanging out at the hospital a lot? Oh, impractical jokers again.
H. Foley
Doing a lot of physical therapy.
Kevin Ryan
Guys jammed up. Listen, again, neither here nor there. But I do look forward to sharing an episode or two. Maybe we'll do it on the Patreon. Do a nice watch along an episode or two of Becker with you. I think you would be delighted if you got out of your Comfort zone and enjoyed some highbrow. Well written, well acted, well produced, well directed. Situation.
H. Foley
Andy Ackerman, I think was a showrunner or whatever.
Kevin Ryan
There you go. What else he run? I don't know.
H. Foley
Something big stuff. Yeah, you shot me down before.
Kevin Ryan
That's why you don't like it. This goes all the way to the top, gang. Check out Becker on CBS Tuesday nights.
H. Foley
When did it air?
Kevin Ryan
Give me that. Do you have the time? It was like a Monday time and day to air.
H. Foley
What time? What day?
Producer
Monday?
H. Foley
Yeah, Monday's at 8:30.
Kevin Ryan
Let me triple check that.
H. Foley
Might have been up against Roseanne.
Kevin Ryan
Not 98.
H. Foley
Maybe the end. Roseanne, 90.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know Roseanne. I wasn't a.
Producer
It was a lead in to Everybody Loves Raymond. It was originally 9:30 and then it end and then it went a lead
Kevin Ryan
in to Everybody Loves Raymond.
H. Foley
You know how I feel about that.
Kevin Ryan
You don't like Raymond?
H. Foley
No. No.
Kevin Ryan
You're nuts, dude. I can't get a. Truth be told, Tony Soprano in it and I ain't watching it.
H. Foley
His wife was a huge bitch. Nothing against the actor, but give me a break. I like Peter Boyle.
Kevin Ryan
Mm.
H. Foley
I like a Brad Garrett. Small doses.
Kevin Ryan
That's a big guy for small doses. Listen, before you burn any more bridges
H. Foley
in the industry, do I like Ray Romano? Brilliant. Thought he brilliant in the Irishman.
Kevin Ryan
I got a. Well, you can't call him brilliant in his life's work. You go, you don't like it?
H. Foley
Not his life's work. Everybody loves freaking Rosenthal's.
Kevin Ryan
Everybody Loves Raymond is not Ray Romano's life's work.
H. Foley
That's all Rosenthal. You're not traveling around Thailand, so you
Kevin Ryan
go, oh, he's great. I liked him in the Irishman because you only watch mob stuff. So you're like, that's the one thing. I'm sorry, Becker didn't do fucking Goodfellas 5. Okay? Mocha Joe was probably in fucking.
H. Foley
Becky didn't even have a drug problem. How am I supposed to get behind this crazy man?
Kevin Ryan
You're something else.
H. Foley
Yeah, I guess so.
Kevin Ryan
You're upset in your wave.
H. Foley
I'm an old man, Kev. Let's talk about Mars Men, baby.
Kevin Ryan
Mars Men. Mars Man.
H. Foley
Talk about unlocking your potential. I'm getting older. Things are slowing down. Things aren't what they used to be. You know, sometimes you feel like you're walking through mud.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. You can feel the changes of lower testosterone.
H. Foley
So I don't want to say it, but yeah. You got to put my. My business on Front Street. Yeah, that's right.
Kevin Ryan
Feels like you hit a brick wall.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh. Uh huh.
H. Foley
You got it. All right, what do you got for me? Give me something good.
Kevin Ryan
You do. Listen, you're like, the workouts, the diet, but you still feel like you're stretching and climbing.
H. Foley
I'm not doing any of that. But yeah, I'm still tanking. But a lot of guys out there are and they're still not feeling up to snuff.
Kevin Ryan
Nah, I'm right there with you. Especially when the baby came, I was like, what the heck is going on? You're just sluggish, the whole nine yards. And here's what I learned. I started taking Mars Man. Your body makes testosterone, but a lot of it gets locked up and can't be used. There's a protein called SHBG that basically handcuffs your testosterone. You become a prisoner in yourself. You're locked inside. You can't, you can't break the change. Even if your body is making testosterone, SHBG locks it up so you cannot access it. It's like having money in the bank, but you forget your pin, your debit card ain't working.
H. Foley
That's what I'm talking about.
Kevin Ryan
Mars Men is designed to help free lock testosterone so your body can actually use it. No synthetics, no needles, just real ingredients that help optimize energy focus and strength. It's more consistent. It's natural energy feeling. It's not like drinking. It's not like a Joel where you're like, oh, a cup of coffee. You get jittery. It's a steadier sense of drive and power. Motivation throughout the day that keeps you humming, baby. Like the tide, it just keeps coming. Supports healthy T levels, energy and stamina. It's made in the US and third party tested. There's a 90 day money back guarantee. There's no risk, baby. Let's go right here. For a limited time, our listeners can get 50% off for life plus free shipping and three free gifts@ Mengotomars.com that's Mengotomars.com for 50% off plus free gifts when you check out.

Part of that hand up, that was me.
H. Foley
Hand up, that was Kippy. You got a lot of stuff going on. You're trying to balance everything. You got the family, you got the mortgage, you got the rent, you got the kids, all that kind of stuff. Sometimes it might help to talk out, to talk about it with somebody. And BetterHelp is the best place to start.
Kevin Ryan
Yes. Money worries often bring anxiety, sleep disruption and even depression. And is one of the leading sources for conflict within couples. A lot of us, not my. You know, I'm speaking personally here. I watched it growing up. Money anxieties my whole life. This, that. Is this gonna happen? Is this. Is this impending doom gonna hit or the fake, you know, the Alphabet boys gonna run in and lock on the house? A lot of it's just. It's spinning your wheels and it's not helping anything. With BetterHelp, you can get a therapist to work according to a strict code of conduct and fully licensed in the US and they'll.

debating TV from 25 years ago, you should have just took the hit and moved on. You watch Becker. It's okay.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I don't like you to say. I know it's crazy weird. It's crazy. Becker, wait. How old were you? So you were 22?
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Well, wait. I can't let it go. You're telling me you can't look at me the same? I've been best friends for 15 years ago and I can't look at you the same 1998.
H. Foley
I just come back from North Carolina making big moves.
Kevin Ryan
Okay? You know, you're a fucking huffing cleanser in a closet with your roommate. What are you talking about?
H. Foley
Okay, you get personal. And then I moved to New York in 99. Was right back 2008 trying to find
Kevin Ryan
the set of Becker there's shoe Becker up here. That's right. You moved out. You missed out on Dawson's Creek in North Carolina.
H. Foley
You shot that on a lot in la. Ted Dance is coming to New York to Shoot. You kidding me? It's probably the only reason he took the show. It's probably 10 minutes away from his house.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know if you're pro Becker. I can't get a read. I get. You don't like.
H. Foley
I'm pro dancing all the way. You know that dancing from start to finish. That dance has been on TV in some form or another for the last 35 years. I love Ted Danson.
Kevin Ryan
You. This was his. This was his.
H. Foley
No, I don't understand this.
Kevin Ryan
This what? This was his. This is his only leading role. That was an ensemble cast. Cheers was an ensemble.
H. Foley
Crazy. They weren't even alive, dude.
Kevin Ryan
Kiersti Alley, Woody, the fucking rest in peace to.
H. Foley
The coach said Mocha Joe was on the show. Mocha Joe.
Kevin Ryan
Mocha Joe. We listen. I love Mocha Joe. He can't carry Ted Danson. Stethoscope can't carry. He can't carry Becker's lab jacket. Okay.
H. Foley
Danson was a star of Cheers.
Kevin Ryan
I'm not saying he wasn't a star. That was unseen.
H. Foley
Was the star of sure is an ensemble cast. But Ted Danson was an ensemble cast. Whatever. I'm not. And I'm not debating.
Kevin Ryan
He carried it on his back.
H. Foley
This is what you do. You start getting this stuff. I'm debating these things. I don't want to debate these things. I think it's weird. You watch Becker. That's all I'm going to say.
Kevin Ryan
That's fair. We just unpacked. Why you think it's weird? That's all.
H. Foley
Why?
Kevin Ryan
I. I'm just one. I think, you know, because it wasn't
H. Foley
my kind of rock and roll.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Listen, if it. If it didn't scratch your itch, you ain't a fan. And that's fair.
H. Foley
Okay, sure. Got me.
Kevin Ryan
All right, listen, gang.

Kevin Ryan
You ever make an ice cream Sandwich with Wonder Bread and vanilla ice cream. It's a sweet bread and it works better than you think. This blew my brain. I've never thought about making an ice
H. Foley
cream sandwich like a. What do you mean? Like what? Wait, hold on. On a cookie?
Kevin Ryan
I thought. I thought the Becker was gonna get. I thought the Becker was an ugly.
H. Foley
You're telling me your house?
Kevin Ryan
No, never.
H. Foley
I've never thought about it took two chocolate chip cookies. Whether it be a chip Ahoy or
Kevin Ryan
if I want to have a chip Ahoy, I'm a habit or whatever.
H. Foley
And you never put ice cream in the middle?
Kevin Ryan
Not even that. Have I never done it? It's never crossed my mind.
H. Foley
What? That's bonkos. I know. You can't find those chocolatey. The rectangle ones. You're not gonna. Can't find those wafers nowhere.
Kevin Ryan
That's not a wafer.
H. Foley
Whatever it is more of a cookie or a cake, I think.
Kevin Ryan
It's not a wafer.
H. Foley
I think the moisture in the ice cream does that. I bet that starts out like a crack cracker and probably get softened up. Stop fucking typing. I need you fact checking me over there. Fucking dick gtp.
Kevin Ryan
You feel like you're getting it from both angles here. A scared Henry.
H. Foley
That's just the way I like it. Back in the corner.
Kevin Ryan
First of all, no one's doing this to you. You're doing this to yourself, guy.
Producer
Cookie wafers.
H. Foley
Thank you, Luke.
Producer
Germany, they call them waffles.
H. Foley
Thank you, pal. I love you. My buddy cut that in post.
Kevin Ryan
Let's really gaslight them.
H. Foley
That. That. I don't even know what that means. That I get what you get. Not being able to have access to those but not making an ice cream sandwich out of a cookie at home.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know. Look, did you grow up? I'm not. I'm. I'm not even.
H. Foley
Fucking Sunday bar every Saturday.
Kevin Ryan
Get it? You got a chip on. On your shoulder. You're from the wrong side of the track.
H. Foley
I got a chip.
Kevin Ryan
Luke had a better life than you.
H. Foley
I'm not saying against it. I'm happy for him.
Kevin Ryan
But I'm saying. Hey.
H. Foley
You're asking me if you're an ice cream sandwich at home. Huh? Of course he did. Luke.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, hey, hey, hey. He's half your age. Grew up in a different town with a little bit of cash. Maybe if your parents.
H. Foley
I'm cool with it.
Kevin Ryan
If your parents weren't derelicts and watching mash and fucking repeat every day and maybe went to college and got a fucking education. You can make chip Ahoy sandwiches at your house too.
H. Foley
I did make chip away sandwiches at my house. Hydroxy cut or whatever they were called. Hydrox. Those cookies. Okay. We had archway cookies for a long time in high school. The double chocolate fudge ones. You know, archway, they're a little bit bigger and softer.
Kevin Ryan
I'm at a retirement home talking to a guy.
Producer
Talking to Junior Soprano right now.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah? Yeah.
H. Foley
Huh?
Kevin Ryan
What else pop up? Back in my day, I was. I was a cheese man, not a becca man.
H. Foley
You take the heat. You watch Becker. Stop trying to do a hit piece on me like I'm a jerk off. Then he's saying, yeah, you start turning the tables on me. I don't know how to argue like that. I'm on my feet.
Kevin Ryan
Let argue. It's improv. Improv. We're having a battle of wits.
H. Foley
You wouldn't know improv if I gave you.
Kevin Ryan
He couldn't. You couldn't smooth this. He couldn't smooth a silk shirt if you had a hot date with a baby.
H. Foley
I got Steve.
Kevin Ryan
Gotcha. That's acting.
H. Foley
Excuse me, Lucas.
Producer
Yeah.
H. Foley
Did you make the cookies at the house?
Producer
Yeah, there were some summer nights where we did.
Kevin Ryan
Really? Yeah.
H. Foley
My mom.
Producer
It was like a fun thing. The crazy thing my dad did was he did the cookies with Nutella in between.
Kevin Ryan
Whoa. That was another crazy thing. My dad.
H. Foley
How many?
Kevin Ryan
Never came back. Okay. Ignored me in a Wawa parking lot.
H. Foley
Now that's weird. A guy dipping a cookie in Nutella. Man, talk about sheltered. The weirdest thing my dad ever did. You want to make s' mores inside?
Kevin Ryan
You know, I know it's crazy. I remember one time I watched my dad fight the neighborhood. You ever do that? He told a 16 year old he was going to clean his clock. So sorry if I wasn't. Sorry if I was watching fucking Becker and not eating fucking ice cream sandwiches. Okay. Guy, I had some shit to deal with.
H. Foley
And Becker was an escape.
Kevin Ryan
Yes. A nice simple life up there in the Bronx, huh? Every day I dream having a cup of coffee in there. No one fist fighting each other.
H. Foley
A coffee shop too. Jesus Christ, how many fucking shows were coffee shops? Frasier, that.
Kevin Ryan
You can't let it go.
H. Foley
Friends.
Kevin Ryan
Just take the hit guy. Take the break, take the hit.
H. Foley
Take Starbucks as much as the next fellow. Here's the thing. When I was working at twenty Manning in Philly, mostly Latino kitchen staff would take the brioche buns that we use for hamburgers, slice a bunch of them in half, Bassett's ice cream in the middle, let the let's let the whole, you know, everybody have a little corner.
Kevin Ryan
I get that. I think I'm more of a. I think. Why I never. It never crossed my mind.
H. Foley
It's high end shit. What? It's. It's. It's. It. Listen, Wonder Bread's one thing, but I get it. It's kind of a classy move.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Yeah. I just don't think it would ever be as good as the end. Like, the functionality of like. It wasn't an ice cream. If I want an ice cream sandwich ice cream. And we. First of all, we kept them. We kept the America's Choice. The ones from Super Fresh on deck. Boxes of them. John Freezer burn like a son of a. Sometimes I'm 4 years old out there in the. Out there in a meat freeze smelling like tuna and fish blood of whatever my stepdad caught on it. I remember one time.
H. Foley
Hey, there's mackerel guts on my chip witch.
Kevin Ryan
One time the freezer thawed out or like left the door open. There was a bunch of fish that he caught down here, down the shore. Fish goes bad and it dripped down into the fridge and like in like we didn't know for. I still smell it in my garage. It was probably 20 years ago. And you open the. You know, we opened the drawer where like the sodas were. You know what I mean? Beers in there and just fill lick red. It might have all been chum, huh? Yeah. I just remember being like. I think they even like tried to save the. Like we're. Wash these drinks off. I was like, lady, you're fucking. You give me eating nuts.
H. Foley
Get a shot at be growing gills. Get out of here. Holy shit.
Kevin Ryan
But the function. I always. It was just. I was like, this is gonna be a mess. I'd rather just eat the bowl. If I was gonna do it, I'd probably just put cookies in the bowl. But I didn't even do that really.
H. Foley
I don't mean to be the contrarian this episode, but you're just trash. That's a classy kind of move.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
Just don't know anything about that.
Kevin Ryan
No one even. I don't even think my mom knows it's legal to do that. I think she probably needs a permit to start making her own ice cream sandwiches. I was never the thing.
H. Foley
I don't have the food safety test. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, we were the. We were the standard Breyers. Yeah. Throw a little pretzels in there. I would do that sometimes. Yeah. Crumble up the thin. The thinned hers. I'd do that. That's. That's like if you're not putting pretzels
H. Foley
in your ice cream, you're garbage.
Kevin Ryan
That's like if we were, you know, that was like hoity toity.
H. Foley
I remember that. She's not figuring that out. Yeah, I remember figuring that out. Figured that out on my own. Like a. Like. Like a T900.
Kevin Ryan
I'm a learning computer fat gbt over here.
H. Foley
A little salty man. Sorry.
Kevin Ryan
Huh?
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I remember my dad would whip the ice cream to like.
H. Foley
Oh, that was crazy.
Kevin Ryan
I thought you had that. Might as well been like mixing sacrete to me. That was. It comes as a kid. I'm like. I couldn't get the momentum going. And then once a year, you reach like eight or nine. You get that. You get the strength to do it.
H. Foley
I remember one time I left a Frosty in my fridge for like a week and I popped that out. Home run. It was like in between soft serve and regular ice cream. Like a Frosty. Like a Frosty.
Kevin Ryan
Never really the growing. We never really did them growing up, ever. I don't know if I've ever.
H. Foley
All you did was watch Becker, huh?
Kevin Ryan
Smoke cigarettes, drink Slim Fast, drink.

Kevin Ryan
And what is it with the embat. There's a level of trash of being embarrassed where like, I do this all the time. I know you do this. Where you come up with that. You're having these conversations with the other people of some sort of authority in your head. In your head of like, I just ordered it. Like all. You could just go now I'm not paying. No thanks. But like, you're embarrassed that you're not getting it. You feel like you should be getting. Might not have the cash to get It, Right. All of these things and you're going to. That guy was driving all the way there going, I'm gonna make up a lie that I ordered it on Amazon. I don't get that. You're afraid to feel trashy for saying no, right? And not getting the full service.
H. Foley
Yes, I think of that ilk, people of that ilk. If you say, no, I don't want it. You think that that guy's gonna think, oh, this loser can't afford it, which
Kevin Ryan

H. Foley
Yeah, right. I think people that are. That do well or whatever are like, you know, no, I'm not paying for that. I don't want it. But.

H. Foley
You know what? We're moving actually. Here's the keys. We're leaving.
Kevin Ryan
Just did it. Just broke ground.
H. Foley
I wonder what that's called. It's called something. People that are like that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Low self esteem.
H. Foley
I don't know.
Kevin Ryan
It's not high self esteem,
H. Foley
but that air filter, I don't know. I'm 50, 50 on that. Does that thing matter? I think so, because they Bang yet that. They love that. Well, like, I've talked for an oil change that. That's for. Hey, crazy, I got a new one.
Kevin Ryan
But they're trained to do that because that you're. They have to upsell you selling it. Yeah, well, I've talked to mechanic who's like, just hit it with the air hose. Blow it out, and you're good. Oh, because they can fucking. That's what I hear. I listen. I don't know dick about cars, but I grew up with mechanics. And they go, yeah, just hit that with the hose. Clean it up for you. What's even tell them, hit it. Hit me with the hose.
H. Foley
There you go.
Kevin Ryan
Now I just hit it with the hose. I'm gonna replace it next time. That's what like. And the guy goes. The guy go, all right, first of all, the guy probably. Can't you and a guy have the
H. Foley
same amount of money, a little grease, grief him for that? Sometimes those pep boy places, you can't get to the guy doing the job.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, they come up with that fucking. That. That. That clear folder with your. With your fuck, man. Yeah. Hey, yeah, do that. When I work.
H. Foley
Am I going to a concert? Give me a laminate.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I got it right here. They do. They pull it out like a product, like it's not good. Like he's telling you he got cancer.
H. Foley
I always should watch Becker. I always get into the garage. Even they say, don't go in there. I always get in there. I pull the fucking car in and I. I want to know who's doing it.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I don't care about it.
H. Foley
See, if I need something for a little to show them. Let me show you where it is. Like, if it's a. If it's a hole in my tire, I'll show you how to get eyes on it. How much is an air filter?
Producer
10, 20 bucks.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
What do we talk about?
H. Foley
It's the principle, though.
Kevin Ryan
I'm very much. I'm probably like, you're getting taken.
H. Foley
Sorry.
Kevin Ryan
No. Yeah, for sure. And you don't. You know, somebody said it to me one time, everybody loves to buy. No one feels like being sold. No one wants to be sold. You love to buy. You hate being sold. Love to go, I bought that. Not. He sold me a car. I bought a car. Right? You don't want to feel like they took advantage of you. You took advantage of them, huh? Which every dirt bag wants to go. Like, I beat him up on the thing. I got the thing.
H. Foley
Tell me the last time I Was sold.
Kevin Ryan
We'll be right back. Becker, everybody. 9:30, CBS.
H. Foley
I'm trying to think sold on something.
Kevin Ryan
All right, let's see here. This one's from Stevie. Six fingers, $10 squatter. Never had one read. Is it garbage to do your bachelor party two days after the wedding because you don't get paid until then. And also hoping to get some cash from the guests. Wow, that is a dirt bag level of trash. I don't hate it though. Listen, hear me out here. Hear me out. If you're a dude, the bachelor party is significantly better than the wedding.
H. Foley
Oh, I thought you're gonna say than the bachelorette party. Not the videos I've seen.
Kevin Ryan
That's pecker at 8:30. It's funner. You just you if you and 10 boys in your party and or what you're going to a. You know a lot of people are doing like I'm doing a cabin in the mountains or we're gonna go to AC for the night or whatever. It's funner. So I would say like because when you're at the wedding, you want all the boys like the memory and rug and Donnie shit himself. And like you're talking about stories from. It's never as just broads in your family. There ain't no fun. So I like the idea of that afterwards. But that's pretty tough. A few days after you get married and tell your fucking new wife like hey, I'm gonna fucking.
H. Foley
I'll be in Atlanta. I'll be in Vegas for three days.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I want to roll out. Vegas is probably a tough sell, you know, cuz all the prostitutes.
H. Foley
Sure.
Producer
But also you're not using that money then for the honeymoon?
Kevin Ryan
Sure. Why didn't listen, I didn't think that was. I mean this guy's waiting for payday.
H. Foley
That's great.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Your half is yours, half is mine. You go wherever you want. I'm going to fucking saratoga.
Kevin Ryan
That's my 25. Wow. That. You know what else is really trashy that my brother used to do. And I've had friends do a good amount. I've thought about it. I just never had the funds to take to do it was to go on the bachelor party but not the wedding to be like a guy you party with. Oh, like I party with that guy. I don't want him at. But like we're not close enough to go to the wedding.
H. Foley
Wait, you wanted to become this guy?
Kevin Ryan
No, wanted to become this guy. But I ran in circles with a couple of guys like that. Really go to the bachelor party and not the wedding? Because they're like, oh, yeah, we're all going to fucking whatever.
H. Foley
Get Duff. Tell him to come. Tell Duffy to come.
Kevin Ryan
Duff to come. They'll crash with me. He's a good time.
H. Foley
But it's like, that's not. Duff's not going to the wedding.
Kevin Ryan
Duff's not going to the wedding.
H. Foley
Wow.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. My brother did that a couple of times.
H. Foley
Interesting.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Pat's done it a couple of times.
H. Foley
Is the wife, like, what happened to your friend Duffy that you went on the. You didn't invite him to the wedding? Nah, Duff's not a wedding guy.
Kevin Ryan
Duff's not a family guy. Keep stuff away from grandma. I think my boy Pat and my other boy used to take each other as plus ones to weddings just to party and, like, not bounce it off of the bride and groom. Just like, you invited me with a plus one. I'm bringing my homie and we're gonna get fucked up and. Yeah.
H. Foley
Whoa.
Kevin Ryan
And, like, not, like, with the other way.
H. Foley
Who'd he do this with?
Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
It'd be Stutzky and who else?
Kevin Ryan
My other boy I'm trying to protect. So, you know.
H. Foley
Yeah, gotcha. Would the other guy know the bride and groom?
Kevin Ryan
To an extent, yeah. But, like, definitely didn't make the cut of the wedding. You know what I mean?
H. Foley
That's awesome.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. They did it multiple times.
H. Foley
Didn't make the cut of the wedding.
Kevin Ryan
Not like, wasn't even considered. It's that way. It was Pat's friend. Like, Pat brought his home. Pat brought his boy to a wedding just to be like, oh, it's an open bar. We're gonna go get fucked up. We'll put on suits, get fucked up.
H. Foley
That's so fucking awesome.
Kevin Ryan

Yeah, it's also like, you know, I think there's a thing. You've seen it, everybody's seen it where like guys get to a certain age, they get out of rhythm of partying. Now that being said, a good amount of my boys are still partying. There's still, they're still, they're not married, they're not having kids, they're fucking, they're getting after it Thursday through Wednesday, you know, I mean they're doing a seven day week, so they're not out of step. But you know, some guys were like, oh, their wife and kids, they might drink once a month. They get down there so and so happen. They, they don't have it anymore. They're not conditioned and then they end up puking, getting in a fight, something. So it's just like, it just leads to bad news. You know what I mean?
H. Foley
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Kevin Ryan
I'm more of like if the three, my three homies want to be like, oh, let's go here and golf for the weekend. I go, yeah, well, we'll hit a fucking. Got a nice hotel, nice Airbnb pool day, beers, be in bed by 10, wake up. That's what I would do.

H. Foley
You come back. When a doctor, you're hungover for a

Kevin Ryan
That's not bad though. I'm an old man, Gary.
H. Foley
Hey, I go straight to bed. Don't get me wrong.
Kevin Ryan
Climb out the window. Jumping on top of a car. I think a gorilla just broke out of room 314.
H. Foley
That'd be awesome. If that was I was you guys. Catch me, ah, I'm hitting the sack. Hour later, I come walking down in a tuxedo. That's all right.
Kevin Ryan
But yeah, it's the response. You walk in, you go, I can't be hungover. When I get home, I gotta be relatively fresh and I gotta check the fuck in.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Cause she's, you know, she's been on for four days. I've been fucking tripping the lights. Fantastic. Hanging out with my fucking five jerk off buddies calling each other fat, gay and bald all week. And then it's like, you know, I've been on vacation.
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
My biggest responsibility is what, you know, what snacks I'm gonna get at the fucking Love's truck stop.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
And to do the short stacker to full stack at the diner.
H. Foley
As long as Uncle Hank wakes up in the morning, you're golden.
Kevin Ryan
Knocking on, everybody's going, anybody, guys on a big man? Anybody got eyes on a big man? He's usually lazy up early. You know, I'll get a whisper.
H. Foley

Kevin Ryan
That's usually Colin. See the big man? Not yet.
H. Foley
Oh, ambulance rolling in slow.
Kevin Ryan
Got it, got it. All right, let's see here. This one's fine. I've never thought of this. This is from Steve Urkel. Second time, long time. Is it garbage to lean on the cart while walking in the grocery store? Like you lean down.
H. Foley
Oh, that, yeah.
Kevin Ryan
What? Walking doggy style? Your face down, ass up. That's awesome, that is. You're walking meds. Oh, she's in front of you. Whatever. You're just cruising. It's trashy. You got to be a little more proud, for sure. But that, that guy's in flip flops and socks.
H. Foley
I love it. Especially when you go to the suburbs and they got them big ass carts. I could fit in that. Throw me in there, push me around like a, like a, like a robot at An Amazon fucking factory.
Kevin Ryan
That was the big. We. I'm sure we've mentioned this at some point, but to me, that was the big level of trash. Whether your. If your parents let you sit in the back with the groceries. That was real. They were. That was like single mom, which.
H. Foley
That was a spot hanging out up front.
Kevin Ryan
I didn't like being chilling.
H. Foley
What?
Kevin Ryan
Nah, that was like. That was like fucking.
H. Foley
You had to put a blanket down or something. That was fucking legs.
Kevin Ryan
You're stuck. And she let me in the back. I want to break. That's like being in the back of a pickup truck.
H. Foley
You want to sit in the seat?
Kevin Ryan
No, I want to be in the back. Or you're still holding at the front.
H. Foley
Wait, what are you talking.
Kevin Ryan
I guess I have it reversed.
H. Foley
Yes. You. You think it's trashy if you sit in the bay where the food goes or the bay and the cargo bay or in the seat.
Kevin Ryan
No, there's a cargo bay. The trunk, if you will. Yeah, that's trashy.
H. Foley
What, you want to sit in the seat like a good boy staring at your mother?
Kevin Ryan
No, I'm saying I didn't like that.
H. Foley
You don't want to see the one. You don't want to be in the car.
Kevin Ryan
No, I want to be in the big one. That's what I'm saying. The trunk.
H. Foley
But that's trashy.
Kevin Ryan

H. Foley
Oh, yes.
Kevin Ryan
Just because I didn't want to be trashy.
H. Foley
But you like it?
Kevin Ryan
Oh, yeah.
H. Foley
Good man.
Kevin Ryan
I'm saying that's the equivalent of riding in the back of a pickup truck for a six year old. That's as. That's as lawless as you're gonna get. Yeah, I'm back here. All the other nerds are tucked into the front.
H. Foley
That's what I'm saying.
Kevin Ryan
They're sippy cups, got an A and W going. I'm in the fucking back, dog. I mean, a roll from the deli section. I got a slice of cheese and a slice of turkey. How you doing, Tony? I'm making a footlong back here. Suck my dick.

H. Foley
It's all right.
Kevin Ryan
Let's see here. This is another. This is also. This is from all the toast. $10 mozzarella stick. If you go to a restaurant you've been to before, will you or your family members start a conversation about every other table you've sat at for previous visits? Oh, wow. We've never sat over here. We always sit at that table over there. That means you got jack shit to say.
H. Foley
I mean, that is so funny.
Kevin Ryan
Last time we were over there, remember, I said to my, like, if tensions are high, but when you sit down, bread's nice here. You know what I mean?
H. Foley
You said that. You said that somewhere that we were at last weekend.
Kevin Ryan
I was trying to start conversation with you. You're a stick in the mud.
H. Foley
Yeah, Dominican trip really got me thinking too. I was lost in my thoughts for a second.
Kevin Ryan

Kevin Ryan
Mm, this one's trashy, but respect. This is from J. Cape. Never had one read. Fairly new, homie. Thank you. Welcome to the show. Are you garbage if your first birthday party was also your mom's high school graduation party. Whoa, listen. She fucked. She made some mistakes, obviously, but she graduated. Props to her for sticking out with a one year old. Senior year with a one year old.
H. Foley
And save money on cake. Mm. You just get the one big sheet cake for that.
Kevin Ryan
Cut it in half.
H. Foley
Yeah. High school graduation cake wasn't that bad. It gets a bad rap where. What do you mean where.
Kevin Ryan
Where's it getting a bad. Who's talking about it?
H. Foley
It's not very popular.
Kevin Ryan
You guys know, listen, I've heard a lot of. A lot. I've seen a lot of headlines on graduation. High school.
H. Foley
People talk about birthday cake all the time. Mother's Day cake.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, well, there's one of those every year. There's. You go to. You have one high school graduation. That's why no one's talking about it.
H. Foley
No, that's not true. And there's not one.
Kevin Ryan
Something just came out of one of your orifices that is putrid. And we. We have to wrap up. That's crazy. That's crazy, dude. We have to. Guys, I love you. We'll see you next week. I got to get fully to the doctor. Peace.
H. Foley
I am not gross.
Are You Garbage? - "Foley Finds Out Kippy's Secret!" (April 20, 2026)
Hosts: H. Foley & Kevin Ryan
In this lively and hilarious episode of "Are You Garbage?", hosts H. Foley and Kevin Ryan fly solo, grilling each other with playful jabs and retro pop culture confessions. Foley stumbles upon Kevin's "secret": his deep, inexplicable love for the sitcom Becker—a discovery that launches a self-roasting investigation into what makes someone "garbage." The duo banter about sitcoms, homemade ice cream sandwiches, questionable bachelor party decisions, “trash pride,” and the finer points of blue-collar embarrassment. The signature tone is quick, ragged, affectionate, and deeply nostalgic, providing a comedic window into the “dirtbag” side of American life.
Summary:
This episode encapsulates the essence of “Are You Garbage?”—hilariously honest, shamelessly blue-collar, and packed with the little embarrassments of growing up working-class. Whether it’s the shame of loving a dad-friendly sitcom, lying about buying air filters, or the glory of riding in the trunk of a grocery cart, Foley and Ryan create a space where every “garbage” habit is both roasted and celebrated. The blend of mockery and sincerity makes this a stand-out, self-referential installment that newcomers and long-time listeners alike will find both insightful and uproarious.
