H. Foley
Remember at the end of Rockstar when he went and they were alluding to him, like, starting the grunge revolution?
Kevin Ryan
Is that what they did?
H. Foley
Pretty much.
Kevin Ryan
Listen.
H. Foley
Or. He was getting into it. He had his hair cut short. He had his hair like Kurt Cobain's. He was in a coffee shop in Seattle with an acoustic guitar talking about his feelings.
Kevin Ryan
I don't. I didn't read into that. And listen, really.
H. Foley
I love that last scene because then Jennifer Aniston comes in.
Kevin Ryan
I listen. I understand at her most.
H. Foley
Jennifer Aniston, she.
Kevin Ryan
Listen. That was. I. Me and my boys used to watch that movie relatively unironically.
H. Foley
What do you mean?
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean, what I mean? Not. I mean, it's a bad movie. It's a very bad.
H. Foley
I think you're crazy. I think it's a great movie.
Kevin Ryan
Okay.
H. Foley
I mean, man, I've been really watching ironically. What are you talking about?
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean?
H. Foley
Caddy.
Kevin Ryan
That's a bad movie.
H. Foley
How is that a bad movie?
Kevin Ryan
What's it got? I mean, give me some review. I think Rock star, she got panned. They cut her out of most of it. Aniston, what are you talking about? Listen, I'm not. I'm. First of all, you didn't produce the movie. Relax. I love the movie.
H. Foley
Means a lot to me.
Kevin Ryan
I can quote most of them. It means a lot to you?
H. Foley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
You were fucking 42 when that thing came out. It means a lot to you. You were.
H. Foley
There's still hope for me. All I gotta do is be singing at some point. I don't know, Pipes.
Kevin Ryan
Don't, don't, don't, don't. Stand up and let it out.
H. Foley
I always identified with the.
Kevin Ryan
The wigs were bad. I mean, that everybody stone.
H. Foley
What are you talking about? It should have been up for an academy.
Kevin Ryan
That was Zack Wilde's acting debut.
H. Foley
Who's Zack Wilde?
Kevin Ryan
I don't care what you do, Just keep your dick away from me. And you call yourself a fan of Rockstar? Wow. He was fucking melting faces on it. Had the whammy bar, all that shit.
H. Foley
How about the dude getting the blood transfusion right before the show? That's gonna be us.
Kevin Ryan
I love the girl who's doing that.
H. Foley
In Vermont in three years.
Kevin Ryan
Burlington, all hopped up on a weird pizza we ate, playing some small rock club.
H. Foley
Hang on a second. I got the fucking diffuser going back there. Quick transfusion. I'll be all right.
Kevin Ryan
You're sitting next to a couple, eating coffee, drinking coffee. It's not even like. It's not even a show. It's an open mic. Yeah, that was. I mean, that. That movie was, I think, at the time, panned. It's more of a cult classic. Cult classics typically aren't. It got generally positive reviews. Really?
H. Foley
Yeah. Generally positive reviews.
Kevin Ryan
Signed age Foley. The Google review users are saying 82% liked it. Rotten Tomatoes. There's multiple Rotten Tomatoes recently. It seems to be at 83, but it was hovering around 55, I believe, a while ago.
H. Foley
By the way, I wanted to tell you something.
Kevin Ryan
That wasn't his best movie.
H. Foley
Whose best movie? Wahlberg's. Wahlberg.
Kevin Ryan
I was Wahlberg in it. Is that Donnie?
H. Foley
Hey, greatness apart. What are you talking about?
Kevin Ryan
I didn't say he. You said he had no good movies. Don't fucking put that X on me.
H. Foley
I didn't say that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, yeah, this guy did. The right of my mouth started. That guy's a poor big asshole.
H. Foley
Hey, listen, you're a young kid. I wanted to tell you something. You're really relying too much on this AI shit. You and the chatgpt and all this stuff the day I reviews. You're going to it too much.
Kevin Ryan
What are you relying on? I'm telling you, you're relying on feel. And buddy, you're off.
H. Foley
Old school instincts. I knew it was going to rain today. Three weeks ago.
Kevin Ryan
And cheesesteak egg rolls. Old school instincts. And an appetizer sampler.
H. Foley
Hey, you want to do something, you do it right.
Kevin Ryan

H. Foley
See if I can save the world.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, God.
H. Foley
Anyway, watch it, all right? You're getting too caught up in it. You're going to this guy for everything. Next thing are you gonna be in here making out with a AI robot after I get a piece. What? Are they coming?
Kevin Ryan
Sure that I think they're here already.
H. Foley
Yeah. Not realistic. I want. Someone's gonna bitch at me. I bust on my balls anyway, huh? Sidetracked. I apologize.

H. Foley
I don't know. I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
Kevin Ryan
I don't like your squirrely. Get squirrely. I'd. Listen. I've been. I've been. I haven't talked to an adult. I've been doing Goo Goo Gaga and fucking changing diapers. I'm fucking in the weeds over here.
H. Foley
How tired are you?
Kevin Ryan
Oh, I was up today because it.
H. Foley
Seems like you've broken through it and shout out to all the parents out there. I don't know how you fucking do it.
Kevin Ryan
Give it up for the troops. What are you doing? Just saying where are my teachers at? Huh?
H. Foley
I mean, I could barely get past myself.
Kevin Ryan
Buddy, you've.
H. Foley
I'm not.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, yeah. You shouldn't be in charge of yourself. If it was up to me, I'd say I'd have a. Have the government step in.
H. Foley
So what I'm saying is I was.
Kevin Ryan
Up from 1 to 5:30 today. So after I went back to bed at 5:30 for about 90 minutes, I had to get on and I'm up and then I'm here and someone was late today. So I'm sorry if I had a little bit of a fucking dude.
H. Foley
But it's been over a week. So if you like been over a week with the baby or two weeks, whatever.
Kevin Ryan
It's been three weeks.
H. Foley
Three weeks. So have you gone through it? Like, are you. Are you.
Kevin Ryan
No.
H. Foley
Have you broken past the tiredness is what I'm asking.
Kevin Ryan
You're just. It becomes. I listen. I Don't. I hate being the guy. Let me. I'm not. I'm not that guy. Didn't like that guy when I wasn't. When I was childless, when I was barren. I'm barren.
H. Foley
Stale womb.
Kevin Ryan
It's just. You're just forever tired. I don't think your brain ever chemically gets back to what it was prior to delivery.
H. Foley
Yeah, I don't like that. See, I'm a little bit tired.
Kevin Ryan
I'm. Buddy, you're tired.
H. Foley
I'm a little bit tired right now.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know if you've talked to yourself. You're tired. Looking at you, I'm tired.
H. Foley
You're old. You're old and tired.
Kevin Ryan
You're just. And then the sad thing. Not the sad thing, the scary thing is you're like, oh, there is a. No, there's. The lifeboat ain't coming to get you.
H. Foley
That sucks.
Kevin Ryan
They burned the boats. You're out there.
H. Foley
That's.
Kevin Ryan
You're just out there to. The kid turns fucking 16 or something. Figures out his wee wee.
H. Foley
If you wanted to get eight hours somewhere, what would you have to do?
Kevin Ryan
Fucking go to Fallujah or something? Eight hours. I got to go for smokes, if you catch my drift. Yeah, eight hours ain't. That's.
H. Foley
Forget it.
Kevin Ryan
Nah. Yeah.
H. Foley
You have to be on the road.

H. Foley
Shut eye. Two city tour.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, man. Yeah, it's tough. You're just in it, you know? Um. Yeah. Trashy, trashy parents.
H. Foley
I like that. You had the baby in the summer. Can I say that?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. It wasn't a choice.
H. Foley
I know. I don't know why. Just that feels like it has like a 70s old school vibe to me. You know what I mean? Having the baby in the summer.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
Okay, now, newborn baby.
Kevin Ryan
I was alive in the 70s. I don't understand the babies feel.
H. Foley
And I wasn't alive in the 70s, either.
Kevin Ryan
I. Listen, just because you don't understand what you're talking about doesn't mean I do either.
H. Foley
I can't just. Maybe it's like that 70s show vibe. I don't know.
Kevin Ryan
There's no babies in that show.
H. Foley
You're missing the point.
Kevin Ryan
I'm. We're talking about babies.
H. Foley
I can't talk to this guy. Chat. Gtpm.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, whatever. All that's neither here Nor there. We gotta. We gotta get into it. We got a gosh darn family episode, gang, as you know, when you join the old Patreon A over there, the world's greatest website, you get your garbage question answered on the air. And we got 1, 2, 3 heaters coming.
H. Foley
Talk to me.
Kevin Ryan
Being a summertime 70s bingo.
H. Foley
There you go.
Kevin Ryan
Summertime babies. This is from Evan G. $10 groupie. Is it garbage to work as an H vac tech but tell people you work in sales so nobody asks you to fix their AC during a heat wave? That is checkers, baby. That guy's going, I don't want no side work. I don't need no side work. Don't call me.
H. Foley
I know, but that's living a double lifer. That's a real long play.
Kevin Ryan
I listen, I did it. I talked about last. Whatever. Last week it was the fuck my 8. My power went out, my AC was down. I called my brother right away.
H. Foley
Oh, really?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Well, I mean, like, see, that's you. No, but I call. We couldn't get anybody out that day.
H. Foley
What's he gonna do, get off the couch and come over? What are you expecting him to come over and fix it?
Kevin Ryan
No, sends a guy who knows who I send a guy who knows what he's doing. Over. All right, let me, let me. I got fucking Mike on the line. Mike's. Mikey's on his way. My uncle Mike's on. I should have called my uncle Mike.
H. Foley
Did he come over?
Kevin Ryan
Uncle Mike too?
H. Foley
Did your brother send somebody over?
Kevin Ryan
No, he was watching a movie or something. I really couldn't get his attention.
H. Foley
I got Rockstar.
Kevin Ryan
He was watching. No, this is. Whatever this is. Like two weeks ago, my. My cousin Quinn Sullivan was playing in the men's national team. And shout out to the Sullivan boys, he was watching that. And I'm like, yeah, dude, there's no power. I got a baby. The. It's 98 degrees upstairs. And he's like, oh, cross it, cross it. I'm like, I'll talk to you later. Jamming me up over here.
H. Foley
It's funny. Yeah, I get that though.
Kevin Ryan
100%.
H. Foley
Man, I wonder how far out, like, how far out do you go with that? You know what I mean?
Kevin Ryan
I think.
H. Foley
Are you not telling your cousins?
Kevin Ryan
No, it's probably inbound of like.
H. Foley
Oh, Gary, tell me you were a doctor. I had you feel my testicles last.
Kevin Ryan
Week without a Freon. Could use the charge, if you catch my drift. Top it off with some R22. Dropping all my H vac Keywords. I heard my dad say these puppies got a fuse. This room's got a name. This bullset got a negative pressure. Once you. That that and always heard once you lose a room, you lose a room.
H. Foley
What do you mean?
Kevin Ryan
Like, once the AC is off.
H. Foley
Huh?
Kevin Ryan
And you're like, oh, it's a bro. You turn it on or whatever. It's not what should on paper. Takes four hours to cool down. It's gonna take two days to get down to temperature. The AC can't. If it's a hundred degrees in the room.
H. Foley
Right.
Kevin Ryan
The a. You set it to 70. To get to that 70 is gonna take fucking gotcha. And it's not gonna get there.
H. Foley
So he's saying, like, be preventatively on top of keeping.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. If you lose the room and the room gets to 92 degrees, not because Buddy, go get a hotel room. You ain't. You ain't. You ain't putting. You ain't pulling. You know, once you lose a room, once you lie. You lost my dad. Go. You lost the room.
H. Foley
I thought you meant like in conversation.
Kevin Ryan
That's what you do.
H. Foley
Because I've done that. I'm never getting this.
Kevin Ryan
I mean, Gary, it's me.
H. Foley
I've had that feeling where I've blown it in conversation.
Kevin Ryan
Buddy, you blow most conversations I have with you. Talk about losing a room.
H. Foley
Once you lose a room, you lose a room. Keep moving and start over.
Kevin Ryan
Your dad was bad with people too.
H. Foley
Oh, man. And I know why. Obviously, because once you lose a room. I was gonna say is I know why that the, you know, ACs go down so much when there's a heat wave. Because they're overworking.
Kevin Ryan
Sure, of course.
H. Foley
But, man, is there anything worse than that?
Kevin Ryan
I just had it. It sucks. It's like genuinely. You feel like you're in the goddamn Sahara. You got no. There's no.
H. Foley
And I feel like that happens more than the heat going out when it's really cold outside.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
You know what happens when it's really cold outside? Pipes start bursting.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that was. That's always the big bad news. Pipers pipe burst.
H. Foley
We were moving into our apartment. It was a pretty. There was like a week or was a really cold snap.
Kevin Ryan
Cold snap.
H. Foley
Yeah, cold snap.
Kevin Ryan
That's your mom, dude. You're turning into your mind as a freaking cold snap out there.
H. Foley
Goddamn clipper coming in. Some pipe burst.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, I forgot to tell you. Your mom messaged me. What? Yeah, your mom congratulated me, but at the same time, on you, it was perfect.
H. Foley
Really?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Cherish it now, because when they grow up to be teenagers and they get real fat, you know, she didn't. She didn't say that, but she was trashing her kids. I. I. Mainly you, I believe. I was like, I didn't have to drag him into it. But while we're at it, I got it. One, two, three things I want to get off my chest.
H. Foley
Yeah, you talked to him today.
Kevin Ryan
If you hear from him, let me know.
H. Foley
He's ducking me, man, when that starts up.
Kevin Ryan
And, yeah, you're jammed up with. Me and Patty are looking for you. You're in bad shape.
H. Foley
Bad shape. Not that I'm in great shape. I said I'm right about there.

Is it garbage to say I'm in the wrong line of work? When someone tells you how much they make for something. Ah, I'm in a wrong line of work. I'll tell you that. That was always real big with blue collar family. We knew. I knew what all of the, all the unions made the Crane operators, that was a good that and the electricians, I think got the most hourly. They make 98. I was dropping out at like 8 years old. The money you're making, the money you're making. Overtime, the benefits.
H. Foley
Crane operators are like astronauts.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know. I know a couple of them.
H. Foley
I'm aware, sure. But on paper, sure. It's like, what is this?
Kevin Ryan
Most of them are on purges.
H. Foley
This guy doing open heart surgery, well, they're strict with that shit. So you really gotta get me what.
Kevin Ryan
I give me what an operator a crane operator makes in New York. And then that was always a thing in Philly. It was like, yeah, they make $62 an hour, 44 minutes. Makes $45 an hour in New York.
H. Foley
I heard they make $80,000 sitting there half the time. Yeah, but when you're on, man, talk.
Kevin Ryan
About the pressure also, man. One of them things goes down.
H. Foley
Oh, fuck that.
Kevin Ryan
You fucking fuck up your die street.
H. Foley
And you're never getting out of that fucking traffic.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, dude. You end up on an episode of Law and Order.
H. Foley
Those things go. God love you.
Kevin Ryan
Median salary is about 65 across the U.S. but experienced crane operators in New York make about 120 annually.
H. Foley
Talk to me.
Kevin Ryan
Plus overtime. And that's good, Benny?
H. Foley
Oh, yeah, and they're milking the overtime. I don't start till after 5 o' clock. You talking about. Yeah, it's like one of those. It's like, you know, it's like a stockbroker. Like you're sitting around most of the day, then when it's go time, it's go time. But you're dealing with fucking well that hundreds of tons of stuff in people's lives.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. That's also a very blue collar thing I get with my family now that we've experienced some success is the only thing they know is like what you earn. Like that's what like they can't wrap their head around. I come in here, we talk about our fake amp. Like they can't. You know what I mean? So they go, we get for a gig like that. You know what I mean? That kind of stuff do good over there. You do good.
H. Foley
They pay you for something like that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. So how's that work? How you do that? Yeah, you got. What's a Patreon? That the thing Michael signed up for?
H. Foley
You know Michael signed up for it against the army.
Kevin Ryan
My cousin hit me. Was that the thing? He's freaking signed. He got three accounts. Shout out to Brendan's got three different accounts. He keeps Losing his password. Sucker. His wife was like, is that the thing he signed up for all the time? Yeah. That's like. That's a way of blue collar dad. Like. Yeah, to my dad and my stepdad plants the way. But.
H. Foley
But that's a very. Walking out of Wawa. Seeing somebody's car and being like, oh, you do.
Kevin Ryan
I saw, like, yeah, I saw a.
H. Foley
Guy, man, I'm in the wrong line of work.
Kevin Ryan
He said it to him, huh? Yeah, I've seen that at a waba. Oh, yeah, yeah.
H. Foley
Having a wrong line of work.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. Painting. Huh? The wrong line of work.
H. Foley
And it's good money if you can get it.
Kevin Ryan
I remember my dad was so anti side work.
H. Foley
Why?
Kevin Ryan
Because he ran a business. He's like, I'm not doing that. He's the only. He was the owner of the company.
H. Foley
He didn't want to be. Thought it was beneath.
Kevin Ryan
It was lowly man. It was. That was. That was serviceman. That was worker. Not.
H. Foley
He felt like he had gotten to.
Kevin Ryan
A point where he didn't need to do side work. Yeah, but we. A badge of honor at one point. We need to do side work. Sure. We're out doing side work.
H. Foley
I need to do side work right now.
Kevin Ryan
Have you guys got any. If you guys got any side comedy.
H. Foley
Projects, I'll come over and do crowd work. Saturday, Sundays, whatever you want.
Kevin Ryan
Talk about losing a room. Talk about ruining Sunday.
H. Foley
Hey, these kids of yours, they got no attention span.
Kevin Ryan
Mind if I throw a load of whites in?
H. Foley
I'm in between places right now.
Kevin Ryan
It's a shower. Sit here. Can I catch a hot one?
H. Foley
Oh, man.
Kevin Ryan
Is that eucalyptus I smell? That's nice.
H. Foley
Something smells good. You guys got dinner coming.
Kevin Ryan
It's noon.
H. Foley
We're not cooking anything. It still smells good.
Kevin Ryan
It's good. Homie, you probably throw down in the kitchen, huh? Mrs. Oh, my. Calling her mom. And man, you stink.
H. Foley
I do? Ah, it's too funny.
Kevin Ryan
Talk about losing our food here. They're soaking up all the amenities. It's just cow. This is over with the recliner and a charger in it.
H. Foley
What's that? YouTube TV. I guess it'll be all right.
Kevin Ryan
No HBO.
H. Foley
Like, not even a channel.
Kevin Ryan
You're like Kramer when he's with the karate class and they're in the car. Can we stop for ice cream? Yeah. Oh, man, you stink, man. What was that question? Oh, side work. Oh, and then I remember that we did it. We were. This is 20. Whatever years ago. We were doing side work and we. You got. We got a good amount of cash that day because we were doing homes or whatever. And he was like, man, I was trashing these for years doing side work. That guy's got a shorthouse. I don't. I mean, because I was like, oh, you fixed. We, you know, we ran through a neighborhood, fixed whatever, and gotta, you know, we had a stack of cash at the end of the day, like, how you do.
H. Foley
Oh, man, that guy was a bozo. See that car?
Kevin Ryan
That's.
H. Foley
I'm gonna run out of work.
Kevin Ryan
I did it today. I stopped by Starbucks, I got my egg bites, and I walk out, I saw a guy in a Range Rover. What the hell does he think he does? Like, in my head, I really thought, you're not. You're not better than me is what I. I started fighting him in my head. Guy's a. He probably never did side work, this guy. But, yeah, you have that. You the. The analysis of, like, I look a guy up and down, go, can I fight him? Probably not. I mean, I could fight him. I lose. And what's he do? You know what I mean? House like that. I remember we pulled up, dude, my buddy's dad was like. My buddy's dad was in construction. Big, big house, Big new month. Like, new money as far as the eye could see. Yeah, fucking Mercedes.
H. Foley
Why did it. Why was that always the case?
Kevin Ryan
Listen, I've lived it. These blue collar guys get a run, right? They're smart. It was the 80s and 90s, contracts, money was cooking.
H. Foley
But yeah, it had to be a quick influx of a large amount of cash.
Kevin Ryan
And it's like, they're like athletes. They think that's gonna. That's gonna be forever. Then the economy goes down. These guys never had money. They don't know how to manage money. They're overextended. Side work, sorry. Through my neck out, baby burping. The baby threw my neck out. They're overextended. And then it dry. You get one or two bad year, you're walking such a tightrope that it goes.
H. Foley
Would you want it any other way, though?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Live on the edge of the knife, baby.
Kevin Ryan
Um. I've lived though my whole life has been fucking walking that tightrope. I'm done with it.
H. Foley
But I have to say, they were always the most interesting dads, though.
Kevin Ryan
I remember my stepdad pulled up and he dropped me off. First time he had been to the house. I mean, it wasn't. It was like one of those McMansion houses, but like, you know, all like the lights, the fucking. It wasn't like, they had redone everything. The big.
H. Foley
Your house.
Kevin Ryan
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're at my buddy's house. My stepdad's dropping me off at my buddy's house.
H. Foley
Got you.
Kevin Ryan
Who's like. They got the glass backboard, basketball net and the BMW, the Mercedes, the Christmas.
H. Foley
Tree lights probably over the top.
Kevin Ryan
Just everything fucking nutso. And he goes, what's he do for a living? I went construction. I go. I go, what's he do for a living? Rob banks. My stepdad, Dickens. Like, I ain't fucking got this much. What the fuck is this motherfucker doing?
H. Foley
He's conservative with his money, and he.
Kevin Ryan
Goes, what's he doing? Rob banks. I went construction. He went, okay. I was like.
H. Foley
And then like, two years, interest rates spike up.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, two years. He was. He was into upside down in a mortgage that. He had a fucking home equity line, man. Yeah, well, I mean, my. My family did the same fucking thing.
H. Foley
They were always the funnest dads, though. And all of a sudden, it dried up quick. That new couch has been there for, like, 15 years.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
Yeah. Good stuff.
Kevin Ryan
I remember it got bad when we stopped. Like, we stopped changing the. The pictures. Our class pictures were on the mantle, like, every year. It'd be like, my second grade, my third grade, my fourth. The last one up was, like, my fifth grade. I'd be going over. I was like, 25. I was sitting in a Notre Dame shirt with a bowl cut, just like, ma' am. Priorities. You know what I mean? We don't have time to worry about the pictures on a mantle. We're in the weeds over here.
H. Foley
That's a tough look. Yeah, that's funny. Dust all the cobwebs.
Kevin Ryan
Just like you open up the pantry. Or broken dishes. Yes sale Triscuits or something. All right, this one's from King Optimo 08. Is it garbage to play old episodes of the Boys over the speakers at work when the boss leaves and then customers come in. And when I'm listening, they go, the bug man and Mr. Neptune met a couple of homies and bozos this way.
H. Foley
Shout out to you.
Kevin Ryan
Shout out to the fucking. I didn't tell.
H. Foley
Spreading the word.
Kevin Ryan
I didn't tell you. I was. I was out there in the burbs. I mean, you know, small town. And this old couple. I'm talking late 60s, blue collar is. You know. She goes, are you. I'm getting my haircut. I'm in the back. And she goes, are you, Kevin? I go screaming from the front door. I Go, yeah, you doing like you're garbage. I got. Yeah, I'm gone. Garbage. She goes, and then she hit me with.
H. Foley

H. Foley
Shout out to it.
Kevin Ryan
Gotta love it. They're out there. The homies of the bozos are all walks of life, baby.
H. Foley
Garbage. Bringing families together, multi generational or breaking them up. Well, do as I say.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. And we're back. Talk about losing a room.
H. Foley
I drive the lifeboat, not in it. My sacrifice is your salvation. How about that?
Kevin Ryan
Okay. Is that what you're telling yourself? This one's from the Teddy Tickler. This I. This I have to respect. $10 homie on the street asking for a question from a Reddit homie. So he's subbing out his. His Patreon, okay. To and to a bozo to get the question read.
H. Foley
Gotcha.
Kevin Ryan
Does that make sense?
H. Foley
He's going to somebody on Reddit to get a good garbage question?
Kevin Ryan
I don't know. I think someone had to get. He goes, you know what? I'll use my. I think it's that he saw the good question was like, I'll use my. My. I'll use my question for your question. Ah, his opportunity.
H. Foley
I like it.
Kevin Ryan
Use. Ever go snorkeling in a lake? That's your jam the fuck up. If you're snorkeling in, you got to be snorkeling in the ocean. It's got to be clear.
H. Foley
Yeah, but first of all, I've never gone snorkeling until last year.
Kevin Ryan
Have you ever been in a lake? Yeah, we tried getting in.
H. Foley
I've been in a lake with you.
Kevin Ryan
Where?
H. Foley
I don't know. We went camping. Oh, yeah, something.
Kevin Ryan
He didn't go in.
H. Foley
Yes, I did think he did. Of course I did.
Kevin Ryan
We got footage of that.
H. Foley
I went in. Dog.
Kevin Ryan
I remember going, just come in.
H. Foley
No, I did. It was somebody else. Wasn't me. I get in, I get in, I get out.
Kevin Ryan
Luke doesn't like the water. No, it doesn't like the water. He's like a. You're like a cat. I get in sometimes, though.
H. Foley
He stinks. That's it. That's. That genuinely is the only thing about you that bothers me. I get no swim.
Kevin Ryan
That and he don't like. You don't like seafood.
H. Foley
Yeah, but I'm used to that. Bunch of stiffs around.
Kevin Ryan
Crew vibe.
H. Foley
Yeah. It really is what I eat.
Kevin Ryan
Seafood. I'm sorry, I don't eat. I don't guzzle oysters at. At breakfast. I apologize. I don't eat that at your rate and speed.
H. Foley
Eat oysters on my back like a beaver.
Kevin Ryan
The hell of a dam you built there, big guy.
H. Foley
Yeah, it took me 20 minutes.
Kevin Ryan
I ate that really expensive tuna you guys bought. Where? Three Forks in Austin.
H. Foley
Tuna.
Kevin Ryan
Three Forks. Oh, is that the place we went all fucked up?
H. Foley
I don't remember that. Remember to check.
Kevin Ryan
There's a picture of me floating around with a Martin with a. With a Manhattan and a backwards Dale Earnard. Add on in a Carhartt jacket. And like, there's people in, like, suits behind me. And someone's like, kippy, you did not belong in that place.
H. Foley
I had a thing not that long ago. I don't know if I told you about it on Patreon, but there was. I was out to dinner and there was like, there was two. Two young couples sitting next to me, and they were a little drunk and they were real loud, like, talking loud and annoying. And, like, I wanted to be mad at them. And, like, I was like, I want to be like, shut the fuck up. But then in my head, I thought about that three forks incident.
Kevin Ryan
But that was us.
H. Foley
Yeah. We must have annoyed the shit out of people.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Especially being in our 30s and 40s, not young kids.
Kevin Ryan
50S. Yeah, I mean, we were. I'd apologize. Cypr and I apologize.
H. Foley
You should get the wagyu.
Kevin Ryan
I apologize. Thinking it was funny. I thought I was being funny. I'm talking about misreading the room. I thought, they get hot in here. All of a sudden I'm like, I'm sorry about my son. Jerk off the Guy's like, what? The woman's like clutching her pearls.
H. Foley
You have children? Actually, I do now.
Kevin Ryan
Ma' am. All right. Let's see here. This one's from Uncle Boobs. New homie. Never have one Red. Are you garbage if when you were a kid, your mom would blow cigarette smoke in your ear to cure an ear infection. That. Listen, I'm not saying that didn't happen. I'm not saying that did or didn't happen to me. That could have happened to me. That is in the realm of. Like. We were big on whiskey for toothaches.
H. Foley
Yeah, that's different.
Kevin Ryan
We were. I know. I don't. I don't think so. I would argue it's worse than blowing cigarette. It's not going in your body, though. You know what I mean? The. You're. The fucking. What you want is going in here. The.
H. Foley
I could see the medical logic. The.
Kevin Ryan
That's what I'm saying.
H. Foley
Early 18th century medical logic behind it is that hot air is going in that's going to dry out whatever it.
Kevin Ryan
Is or fucking toxins in there. You know?
H. Foley
And by the way, just a step back. I've been going in lakes and ponds my whole life. I don't love them because they're creepy. If you're. If you're snorkeling in a lake, you're looking for something that's gross, you better have an Instagram channel where you find weird shit.
Kevin Ryan
We gotta get you into magnet fishing.
H. Foley
I say. I keep seeing duds.
Kevin Ryan
What do you mean?
H. Foley
They don't get anything good. If I was pulling up a safe every time, I'd be in. I'm not going out to some fucking canal in Holland. Fucking wasting my times for some bike.
Kevin Ryan
How you doing? All the way over there.
H. Foley
That's where they do it.
Kevin Ryan
You can do it here.

Kevin Ryan
Where are you? You're pulling up an rpg.
H. Foley

H. Foley
Pack of straws.
Kevin Ryan
Those old broads used to drink it out of straws.
H. Foley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
She was tougher than 50 grit. Sandpaper. That might be the most tragic thing that anybody's ever submitted. She's tougher than 50 grit. Hypothetically, is it trashier than to go six years later, dig them up with your high school buddies and that was your first beer and your first heater you ever had?
H. Foley
No.
Kevin Ryan
What he said. Recently found out on my birthday that my wife was pregnant and my first child and the first person I thought it was Kippy. Yay. There you go. Thanks for the great pod. Love yous.

H. Foley
Whoa.
Kevin Ryan
Maybe they did it like. Like they buried her like the dog in the backyard. And it wasn't that. It was a shallow grave.
H. Foley
Grave robbing for beers, which.
Kevin Ryan
It's like you can't get your hands on beer. You got to get a shovel.
H. Foley
Like smoke.
Kevin Ryan
There's got to be a bar of steal from someone's parents. Listen, if you're, if your nana maybe.
H. Foley
The sentimentalness of it.
Kevin Ryan
Who wants what? Nana's old beard also, then. Listen, I was a skunk dog. I love. I left heaters out overnight, not to mention underground for six years. Them things are. Those things are Got spiders on them. They've got spider eggs all over them.
H. Foley
Jesus. Although burying people with stuff, you know, trashier items as I get older, I get the sentimental.
Kevin Ryan
I get the. I, I, I get that for sure. We're, you know, my stepdad's a big race car guy, so we'll do. We didn't bury him with anything, but there's a lot of.
H. Foley

Kevin Ryan
Helmet. Yeah. Had the helmet of the church, which is trashy. I forgot about that. I had. That never clicked until just then when.
H. Foley
I walked in, somebody behind me said, is that a race car?
Kevin Ryan
Is Dale Jr. Here? Yeah, that was in the. That was right in the middle.
H. Foley
Dude. That was. That was sitting in the middle of the aisle in a, In a Catholic church. Like it was the Eucharist.
Kevin Ryan
It was, it was the first thing. It was right when you had a.
H. Foley
Light shining on it.
Kevin Ryan
I never thought that was trashy.
H. Foley
Are you serious?
Kevin Ryan
I was mourning. I have.
H. Foley
It was on like a Roman.
Kevin Ryan
It was. It was on what they put the gifts, like the offerings on. It was what they put. It was the table they put. It was the holy table or whatever.
H. Foley
There should have been like a bust of David or something like that on top of it.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it was where, like said it was. Mean Joe Kelly never finished above eighth in his life. I'm kidding. Buck. I love you.
H. Foley
Put you in the wall.
Kevin Ryan
Guy was defensive, I'll tell you that much. If he didn't get you in turn four, he'd get you in the pits.
H. Foley
Little hit and run action.
Kevin Ryan
They get you in a parking lot, shoot the fade with him.
H. Foley
He's still in the. He's still in the race car. He's driving it home, guys. Driving down the street in his pickup truck after the race. All of a sudden, here comes old Buck.
Kevin Ryan
We're amateurs, man. Relax. Guy's freaky. Guy's got his kids in the car. Stepdad's fucking trading, painting, Robin's racing that Was my favorite. You know, let me see if you can get. If we can get your hands on these. There was a set of NASCAR lighters. They were wrapped. You know how like they would wrap. Like, they were just like regular Bix, like the clear crack head lighters. But they were wrapped with nas. They were NASCAR branded and they all had sayings on them. Trading paint, rubbins, racing, like all this kind of stuff.
H. Foley
Wait, Bic or the other ones. Clear is not Bic.
Kevin Ryan
It wasn't shitty. They weren't big. Yeah, they were like the crackhead lighters, right? I don't know. They were NASCAR lighters from the 90s and he had them and I had one of them. They were like checkered flagged. I would get my hands on them. Sentimental to me. Leave him at his grave site.
H. Foley
That would be a bad prank or something like that.
Kevin Ryan
What?
H. Foley
Just get a. You have to be under certain situation, certain conditions. But if you were just driving in your car and all of a sudden a NASCAR car came up next to you and started fucking climbing in here.
Kevin Ryan
Fucking leave that to the professionals. What? We used to do that anytime. You know, we lost a lot of. A lot of young men in high school. And the big thing was always going to the grave on the birthday and like smoking a blunt or having a 40. A lot of hypnotic. A lot of bottle of Henny, leaving a blunt for him. Or you know what?
H. Foley
He would have won it.
Kevin Ryan
So what do you want me to get? All right, people are dropping in the penjamins now in the graves. Oh, right.

It's like Jurassic Park. I'm out.
H. Foley
I don't want that thing near me.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I mean the needle nose pliers. That makes sense. That's readily available. You get a good cut. You got to have hefty fingers for that, though.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
You can't. Like broads can't be doing that.
H. Foley
I don't think I can do it man enough.
Kevin Ryan
No, I'm not. You got to have like a fucking. You got to be working when you got to be working with wire cutters. If you're. You know.
H. Foley
If you're doing that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, for sure.
H. Foley
If you're in sales and you're doing that. Stop lying, everybody.
Kevin Ryan
I ain't buying. All right, let's see. This is from Dylan. $10, homie. Never have one red. Are you garbage? If you fill your cup at a fast food restaurant with 80% diet soda and about 20% heavy just for a little flavor blast.
H. Foley
Don't hate it.
Kevin Ryan
I can't believe I never really thought of that.
H. Foley
No.
Kevin Ryan
And I can't believe we never heard of that. Maybe we have and I just forget. That's pretty brilliant. I have to say.
H. Foley
It's great. You know, I deal in absolutes all the time. I think very black and white's got to be one way or the other. Usually to the extreme. Yeah, it's the same thing that, like, I learned from smoking weed in high school. I don't have to smoke the whole joint. Just have a hit, take a puff.
Kevin Ryan
Take a puff, puff, puff, paste.
H. Foley
Little splash of regular soda in there. All right.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Sugar.
Kevin Ryan
There you go.
H. Foley
Sweeten it up.
Kevin Ryan
Well, dabble, do you?
H. Foley
Yeah. But I'll tell you this now. These days when I have a regular soda, I know it's regular soda. But 80% of the time, that Coke Zero, that diet cherry Pepsi, you don't really know.
Kevin Ryan
Listen, I mean, you do when you don't. As you know, I'm. I'm trying to fly a little straighter now to baby's ear. I really saw, you know, DCs. Yeah.
H. Foley
What does that got to do with anything? Who did they ever hurt? Why can't you have Dai Cola? You just don't want to do it.
Kevin Ryan
The chemicals in it are chemicals. Listen, listen, I'm not. I had. I was drinking. I was putting.
H. Foley
You want to look good on film. You were. You're worried about.
Kevin Ryan
You were coming nowhere near my Diet Coke consumption. Nowhere near. I mean, I was putting up. I had to be in the top.001% in the world at consumption of.
H. Foley
You, like math teacher numbers.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it was nuts. I. Nobody was. It was like. It was a fucking problem. We'd be in here, I'd do two bottles. Ease. Two bottles?
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
When people drink, dude, I go out to the restaurant. I'm doing them at breakfast. Restaurant.
H. Foley
What are you going with? Rickles?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Gear rays.
H. Foley
So you're at a table with Dean Martin.
Kevin Ryan
Frank.
H. Foley
I'm eating here, down to the espresso.
Kevin Ryan
I was. I. It was too much. It was getting too bad. I'll do it. And I got. I got really. Those Lacroix, as Connor Kelly calls them. Work beers. I can crush those. Lot of them. But now I will treat myself to a diet cake if I'm out or whatever. And it's hits. It's like. It's like a real. It's like what a real cake used to feel like.
H. Foley
Mm.
Kevin Ryan
I've read. I've re. Acclimated myself.
H. Foley
Remember what John Chris said about in rehab? Like, you have to bring yourself down to zero. So, like, you can appreciate, you know, I mean, there's no way that you can appreciate life when you're, you know, going full blast because nothing compares to it. But when you bring yourself down, then you have to. Diet Coke feels good.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Are you bringing yourself down?
H. Foley
Wanna go to rehab?
Kevin Ryan
Push. Comes to show.
H. Foley
I'm saying, if you don't have the regular stuff in a long time, it does hit.
Kevin Ryan
That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would also argue even the diet cake's a little too sweet for me.
H. Foley
Oh my God.
Kevin Ryan
It's like.
H. Foley
You know what used to fucking drive me.
Kevin Ryan
I hate. I hate what I've become. I gotta get healthy, man. I gotta fucking kid. One of us gotta get healthy.
H. Foley
I'm getting healthy.
Kevin Ryan
We can't. You can't be two holograms doing the show.
H. Foley
I'm getting healthy.
Kevin Ryan
One of us has to host. The other can be a hologram. Graham.
H. Foley
I'm getting healthy and I'm happy. You're getting healthy and I completely understand.
Kevin Ryan
Sound like it.
H. Foley
I'm just busting your balls. But you know what I used to hate as a fat guy?
Kevin Ryan
You're fat?
H. Foley
Yes. As a fat guy with eating addictions.
Kevin Ryan
Hot as. It's crazy. Turn the arrow. Turn the air on. We got it.
H. Foley
I feel the wood.
Kevin Ryan
Like the wood. The wood's hot. The wood's warping. Dude, fry an egg out of here. Just. Yeah. Turn the. Turn. Turn this air on. Where are you going? Yeah, this, this, this. Did something. Turn this arrow. We'll just. The noise is fine at this point.
H. Foley
Yeah. Jesus Christ. You get this guy from behind that desk, he freaks out.
Kevin Ryan
I know.
H. Foley
You just tried to walk out of the room.
Kevin Ryan
That's it. I'm leaving.
H. Foley
Where the hell were you going?
Kevin Ryan
Just. It's fine. Just turn it on. Something. I'm fucking. I feel like it's kind of hot in these rhinos right now, dude.
H. Foley
That'd be funny. We should do one just in our underwear. Sexy.
Kevin Ryan
We did. We remember. We did an old center city comedy. Topless, I think, because it may be hot.
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
There's no video of that. We all sat around with our man boobs.
H. Foley
Scrub.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, that's. That's all right.
H. Foley
Wow. Now apologizes a little. No way hot in here.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. We can room tone it or send that to NASA to get the. The buzz taken. I need. I need air conditioning.
H. Foley
What? I was going to say humidity. As someone who has a very strong connection to especially the sweeter side of food. Hearing somebody say that's too sweet or that's too rich. Oh, that's too rich for me. It's a little too sweet for me. I. I'm not on it. I wish I had that.
Kevin Ryan
Sure.
H. Foley
I. I understand that. Less than hieroglyphics. I don't get that. What does that mean? It's too sweet? I couldn't imagine. Like, there's only a certain point of sweet. It doesn't just keep going. You know what I mean? I just don't get it for you.
Kevin Ryan
You're. You. You're. What you just explained your barometer is. If it's not 99 degrees, you don't break a sweat. You break a Sweat in 32. If I had to be honest with you under pressure. But.
H. Foley
But I get the analogy.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. You've. And also there's stuff for you. You're like, ah, it's too seafood. It's too whatever. It's like that. Okay.
H. Foley
Too fishy, maybe.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. But I would. Someone could argue fishy's just fishy. You see what you're saying? Someone who eats fish every day is like, that's. You talking to a Norwegian guy. No. He's gonna go, that's. That's just fishy.
H. Foley
A fish on Tuesday is a lot less fishy than a fish on Friday. Same fish. Obviously, it's gonna be more fishy on Friday. It's gonna be bad. But.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, but you're talking about the duration of the fish. I'm talking about scale of different fish. See what I'm saying? No, I know you don't. This is why you don't understand more sweet.
H. Foley
What can be too sweet? It's too rich.
Kevin Ryan
You. Nothing.
H. Foley
She's. That's too rich for me. What the fuck does that mean?
Kevin Ryan
Listen, I'm trying to. I'm trying to answer it, and you're telling me no. So I don't know. I don't know how to go from here.
H. Foley
I just don't know if you're okay.
Kevin Ryan
Do you see what I'm saying? You're.
H. Foley
You're saying different species of fish. Not the same. Not the same fish a week later. Because that would be more fishier.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I'm not saying the same fish a week later. No.
H. Foley
Okay. Okay.
Kevin Ryan
You see what I'm saying?
H. Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Nothing's going to be too sweet for you. You have to understand that. That not everybody has the same palate as you have. Does that make sense?
H. Foley
Because I'm an animal.
Kevin Ryan
You just described this with John Crist. 0 to 100. Oh, my. Drake over here real quick. Yeah. Your Your barometer shot. So you're going, that's too sweet. That's all I'm saying.
H. Foley
Too sweet for me.
Kevin Ryan
Never.
H. Foley
We gotcha now. What are you doing? Okay, this guy.
Kevin Ryan
Fucking heat's getting to us.
H. Foley
I like it.
Kevin Ryan
All right, this one's from Davis the door guy. Are you garbage. If you make your trade, your whole personality. By the way, if you ever need any type of door, automatic, swing, slider, revolving, I'm your guy, my man. Signed, Davis the door. Also, who the fuck needs a revolving door? That's crazy.
H. Foley
I didn't know that's how it worked. What, that. I thought people that sold revolving doors sold revolving doors. People that automatics sold automatics and regular doors.
Kevin Ryan
Regular doors, man.
H. Foley
I didn't know they had it like that.
Kevin Ryan
Some ideas are just too rich for you, huh?
H. Foley
Too sweet. That's awesome.
Kevin Ryan
You don't think a door guy does other doors?
H. Foley
No.
Kevin Ryan
Window lead?
H. Foley
No. I would think that that's got to.
Kevin Ryan
Be a big revolving door. So you're telling me a bit a revolving door business is sitting there and some guy. Your. Your. Your ABC doors, and he calls. He's like, hey, I'm looking for, you know, automatic swinging doors. And he went, I can't help you. I'm strictly. Strictly.
H. Foley
We don't do them now, unfortunately. We don't do them. We just do residential, regular front doors or inside doors, whatever.
Kevin Ryan
I would argue residential doors and revolving doors might be different, but a revolving door, whatever door a grocery store needs is going to be the same door guy. Whether it's revolving, sliding, automatic, in a commercial space.
H. Foley
I guess that makes sense. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
You're not putting a revolving door in your crib. Talk about fucking Robin Banks. That's crazy. That'd be sweet.
H. Foley
Be sweet. Or just an automatic door. To have an automatic door in the backyard, going outside, that'd be pretty cool.
Kevin Ryan
That's not bad.
H. Foley
Throw one of those AC blasters that.
Kevin Ryan
The wall of air. I remember. I think we were in Williamsburg, Virginia.
H. Foley
You know why they do that?
Kevin Ryan
Keep the bugs in the air out.
H. Foley
Can't keep the bug man out, though.
Kevin Ryan
I'm coming in a window. I come up from the bottom. I come up from the subfloor.
H. Foley
Baby, there's a mosquito on the ceiling. Last night I was like, you can't talk of me. I'm the bug man.
Kevin Ryan
I control you. Yeah. When we learned that, it was like that wall of air, and that was like the brand called, like, wall or air curtain or wall of air or something. And me and my brother too, I Mean, because like we just grew up in the construction industry. Like so it was like. That was cool to us. Of like. Whoa. And then my dad going. You see that? Like he. That was like a. You know, he had only heard about him. Now he's seen them and they sure. So he would show it up. Look at that. That day, you know, we were sitting there like what? Walking through it back and forth. Don't play with it. Don't play with it.
H. Foley
You break it.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. That. My family really is conscientious of motors and machines working. We don't like overworking them, I think because we've always had to fix them. You know what I mean? So it was always like, don't overwork it. Don't. You don't run the air too much. You don't like. It was very. Let the machine rest a little bit. Let him, you know, let him get his. Let him get his state hours.
H. Foley
Don't use it too much.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Like. Like now. You know what I mean? I think like a plane. A plane's just running constantly.
H. Foley
Don't think about that. I. Dude, I never. That never occur. I knew they flew back. I just assumed they flew back. I didn't know that. It was just. I remember no one's checking that in between. Like in between each flight there should be somebody walking around checking the wires.
Kevin Ryan
I think they do. But I. I was always.
H. Foley
Not to the degree that I would like.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. I mean, we.
H. Foley
Sorry. We've seen planes exchange. They pull in, people get off. They, they. They clean it and then we're on there.
Kevin Ryan
I know I was always under the impression of going give this thing a couple hours. Let them chill.
H. Foley
Let it cool down.
Kevin Ryan
Just, you know, he did the best you got Everybody here safe and sound. He deserve. Fill them up with premium. Let him fucking hold on a TV show. Let him chill it.
H. Foley
Let it chill. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Maybe hit the lounge.
H. Foley
Crazy. Which is also way more impressive when you think about it. Whoever turns off their iPhone. That thing's just running. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Mine dies a lot.
H. Foley
But yeah, still say what you want about it.
Kevin Ryan
No.
H. Foley
What other thing is just. Is just going to forever nuts. That's why I don't trust it. Something's going on. Little element 15 in there. What's it called? Element 115, huh? Little E15. E115. You know what that is?
Kevin Ryan
No, of course you don't.
H. Foley
Because you're still blinded. Anti gravity element not found on earth. According to certain gentlemen. It's the power source for certain alien aircraft. Or that's what some ancient alien astronaut theories would suspect. I always love that. Now you like to show. All right, whatever.
Kevin Ryan
Me.
H. Foley
Talking about air conditioning, trying to expand his mind.
Kevin Ryan
I'm pretty sure you think you're a bug. Let's talk about it. So you're not expanding my mind. Okay. You were talking to a mosquito last night.
H. Foley
No, I was yelling at a mosquito last night.
Kevin Ryan
Very different.
H. Foley
It's a very one sided conversation.
