Paul Verdier
You got to take it out of their hands and put it into your own. Because now, now I'm responsible for the drop.
Kevin James Ryan
Now if I fucked up, that's on me.

I'm a city guy and like, you know, you stick and move and they switch the machine. I get to just. I just get a large drip coffee. They switch the machines where now the machine, they don't pour it anymore, right? They press a button, then it grinds it and it does it. And they leave it sitting there all the time.
Paul Verdier

Kevin James Ryan
And then I'm sitting there, dude, and my anxiety is cooking.
Sage Foley
You do guys, do you do that? Do you do. The app didn't pick it up. I can't do that.
Kevin James Ryan

So he talked about Everyone Loves Raymond Sopranos this week, Soder's my guest. We talk about the best live sporting events we've ever been to As a kid up until now and I have all these amazing guests. I had super bowl champion Willie Colon from the Steelers on.

I don't like that when they go, but the materials, it's like, you know what I mean?
Sage Foley
Then why the are you going to Home Depot paying retail? You don't got a paint guy.
Kevin James Ryan
I got a guy.
Paul Verdier
They're always like, oh, it's this price, plus I got to get the material. It's like, wrap it all up. You go to Lowe's at Home Depot.
Kevin James Ryan
I don't need to know that.
Paul Verdier
I got one for you. I had to go to Lowe's.
Kevin James Ryan
You're buying a material I had. That's a dirt bag.
Paul Verdier
I had a guy doing tile and I had to go to Lowe's to get the grout for him for an extra bag. They ran out and why don't.
Kevin James Ryan
They don't have anybody.
Paul Verdier
Well, it's part of. It's my wife's fault because.
Sage Foley
Wait, they sent you?
Paul Verdier
She goes, do you mind? My wife goes, they.
Kevin James Ryan
They always get involved and make you do it.
Paul Verdier
My wife saw that we. That they needed an extra bag of grout. And me, I'm a comic. I'm not doing anything at noon.
Kevin James Ryan
She goes, wide open.
Paul Verdier
She goes, you got. Want to go run the lows? And I go, no, like I'm.

Paul Verdier
They're gonna be chewier. They got harder. I'm not going, no. So. So she goes, why don't you go? Why don't you go run to Lowe's. And Such a white hater. And now, now they're all. Now they look at me now, everybody, now, you gotta go to Lowe's. Now I gotta.
Kevin James Ryan

Paul Verdier
I'm paying them. We're paying them.
Kevin James Ryan
And they fucked up the order, not me.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, I don't want to hear materials. I don't want to hear what you need. I don't want to hear about your truck storage. I need another truck. Get the big truck. Get the truck that has everything you need in it, that has the size that you need for all Your equipment, get the materials. You do it and I'm going to pay you. That's how it works. There's no, oh, we need this, we need that. Material wise, I could tack on another depending on the materials you want. Here's what I want. I want the best materials and I want you to fucking get them.
Kevin James Ryan
Last time I checked, I don't work for ABC Contracting.
Paul Verdier
Oh, I could get you the middle of the roads. They hit you with the middle. They always hit you with the middle.
Kevin James Ryan
And that's where they're making their money because that's where they're jack.
Sage Foley
That's like balsam wood.
Paul Verdier
And then they whisper. Nobody knows the difference. It's like, I know, I know, I know the difference. Listen, it's another, what, 1500 for the top of the road or whatever the. Get me the top.
Kevin James Ryan
You're speaking my language. Yeah, my bathroom flooded. We had to redo it. And the guy came. He's lowballing me. Like, this is builder quality. I said, give me the real shit.
Paul Verdier
Well, I'm glad you brought this up.
Kevin James Ryan
Because we can put linoleum in like it's fucking 92, buddy.
Sage Foley
Carpet on the ceiling, wallpaper up.
Kevin James Ryan
I'm talking walk in shower here.
Sage Foley
Wallpaper's kind of coming back though, isn't it?
Kevin James Ryan
Kind of wallpaper, yeah.
Paul Verdier
My wife is like, look at this. And now they do it on one wall. Yeah, they're doing all. They're trying to get cute. They do two walls.
Sage Foley
One, you know, as two homeowners. Have you ever done that? Have you ever done wallpaper? I can't wrap my head around what makes that stick.
Paul Verdier
No, I had.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah. Huffing it all. Coming down from a fucking.
Paul Verdier
But this is true. I'm really. I can't even believe you brought this up because we just had last week, it ended. Both of our bathrooms retiled and our kitchen and our kitchen floor retiled. And they were taking long, right? And I was going through. So I was having a week. Okay. I was having a week.
Kevin James Ryan
Told you about the milkshake.
Paul Verdier
I was having a week. I was dealing with stuff. I was running around. I was, you know, stuff. Personal stuff. And I just go, I can't have him in the house this long. They're taking long. They're talking. I heard him talking.
Kevin James Ryan
No, listen, it is.
Paul Verdier
I heard him talking.
Kevin James Ryan
Listen, Unless you're in like a fucking 20 bedroom mansion where you can like seal off the west wing, they're in your house, there's four guys in your house and you're like, and they're go, where's the basement? They always need something and I get it, but it's like, you can't. You're not chilling.
Paul Verdier
No. And one of them was a rebels was in the family, so don't cut this clip. And I just go, hey, dude, I go, I'll just throw you an extra 500 cash if you just. You gotta wrap it up quicker. I just said, if you could do it in two days quicker, I'll give you 500. And he brought a guy and they did it. But it's like, I gotta get you out because they taught. You know what I mean? Make no mistake, when you get something done in your home, they could always do it quicker than when they did it. They could always. Of course, you know, if they're like, hey, we'll be out of here by Friday. I'm like, you could leave whatever, you know, you could leave Wednesday. But they, they, you know, they go, I gotta go. Here, oh, here's a receipt.
Kevin James Ryan
They also go to another job. Totally. I gotta do a half a day. I'm gonna come at noon. And then I feel like a fat piece of shit because I'm laying on a couch and these motherfuckers upstairs working.
Paul Verdier
At least I had one guy. Be honest. We had, we had two guys. We had three guys. We had two doing the floors. Then we had an odd job guy. My wife hired this guy, great guy. And he was just like, he's doing little things, painting here, doing this. And he was just like, look man, I'm gonna come back tomorrow. I'm going to my kids game. That I respected. Yeah, because there was no, oh, listen, you know, this happened with the tr. He just goes, hey, dude, I'm going to see my kids game, but I'll be back tomorrow. That I respect. I don't respect when you're sitting there talking. And I know it could have been.
Sage Foley
Usually that's a kiss of death. My, my mom does that kind of shit. She, she tends to operate on the cheap a little bit. She's like a side work kind of guy, you know what I mean? She gets them in their off days. And you got the guy showing up Monday through Wednesday. Then he disappears for like eight months and then shows back up.
Kevin James Ryan
They don't answer. I was just thinking about your job. Oh, were you? Well, where the fuck you been? Oh yeah, I'm sitting here with a half a toilet. I think you shit, what are we doing here?
Paul Verdier
Yeah, and they like leave things. So you think they're working this Guy left two cans of paint and something on the floor like he's working.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, I'm coming back for that. I'm like, listen, my family owns a construction car. You don't think I fucking did this when I was fucking. You know what I mean?
Paul Verdier
Hey, buddy, you left your hammer.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah. Leave your tool belt. Looks like you just ran out for coffee real quick.
Sage Foley
After college or in between college or whatever. I. When I flunked out of college this summer, I was working for. For this contractor that was re. That redid kitchens.
Kevin James Ryan
That honesty's kicking in, huh?
Sage Foley
He was a big Corian guy, remember?
Kevin James Ryan
Coran Cor is really coming through with the honesty. Paul, Paul, Paul made some breakthroughs today.
Paul Verdier
Oh, yeah?
Kevin James Ryan
I don't.
Sage Foley
I never knew $20 from you three months ago. You remember Cory and. Right? Paul.
Kevin James Ryan
Cory. I don't know. It's like that tile. Type of tile.
Paul Verdier
No, I don't know.
Sage Foley
It's like Dupont made it. It's like plastic, ceramic. I don't know what the fuck it was, but it was big at the time. And this guy had. That was like his big thing. So I swear to God, we go to this house and the first thing we do is we tear the entire kitchen out. So we do that during the day. It's like me, him, two other guys, cat cabinets, all that stuff, and leave, like, the, you know, the bones or whatever, the structure, put the plastic up, all that stuff. I guess this lady had set this up with. With the boss. The husband was away. I guess the guy came home that night, like, in the middle of the night. He got a late flight, went right to bed, didn't go into the kitchen. This guy comes down in the morning, he's like, what the fuck is this.
Kevin James Ryan
Shit is all ripped up.
Sage Foley
The whole thing was ripped up. The wife didn't tell him that she was getting the kitchen redone.
Paul Verdier
I freaked the fuck out, dude.
Sage Foley
Yeah, he came down looking for a cup of coffee.
Paul Verdier
Dude, that's like one step up of finding a body.
Sage Foley
Yeah.
Paul Verdier
Can't you just demolish?
Kevin James Ryan
I'd rather see a body that's fucking. You're going, what the fuck?
Paul Verdier
Kind of psycho, you know, Make a bowl of cereal. Kitchen's demolished.
Kevin James Ryan
You got no counter.
Sage Foley
Sleepy.
Kevin James Ryan
I swear, you throw your keys, they.
Sage Foley
Hit the refrigerator, came down in, like, old school pajamas. Like, who the fuck are you guys?
Kevin James Ryan
Dude, it's. I was down there. The one we had. They were trying to. It's the hot water. I forgot. I forgot what it was, but the water wasn't turning on. They. The guys couldn't figure out how to turn the water off. Oh, no. I had to get a new fridge, and they had to turn the water line for the. For the ice maker off to switch out the fridges. I couldn't figure it out. The guys from Lowe's that were dropping the thing off, they couldn't figure it out. I had the guys doing a bathroom they couldn't figure out. There's like seven of us downstairs all staring at the pipes like, ah, buddy, I got. I got nothing. I got to tap out of here.
Paul Verdier
No, dude, they forgot to. One of the guys forgot to turn the water thing off, and my wife turned it on, and it just rushed under our sink because. Yeah, dude, it's. It's a night, dude.
Kevin James Ryan
There was.
Paul Verdier
There was guys in and out of my people, like, dude versus wife. What's going on? Dude, there was a different guy going in a different truck and a different guy walking in my house for two weeks.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, it's a lot.
Paul Verdier
They were going, dude, I guess things aren't good in first. His marriage.
Sage Foley
Maybe they opened it up.
Paul Verdier
Different guys, different sizes. One guy's six. Six. Another guy's a tiny little Mexican. Yeah, it's like, dude, jeez, you should.
Sage Foley
Have got a type. On this tip. Before we get to the questions, I wanted to ask Paul's opinion on this. I had an issue a week or two ago where if you were living in an apartment building, you didn't really know anybody, you know, you kind of kept it yourself or whatever.
Paul Verdier
Yep.
Sage Foley
If you walked by late at night, somebody's door and saw their keys were hanging out. What's your move there? Do you knock?
Kevin James Ryan
How long.
Paul Verdier
How long am I there?
Sage Foley
You're there three years. But you never really met these people.
Paul Verdier
Three years.
Kevin James Ryan
A bit of a weight problem.
Paul Verdier
If. Oh, man. If I knew. If I knew the person even in passing.
Sage Foley
You know them in passing.
Paul Verdier
If I know them in passing or elevator. And I see that, yeah, I think I would.
Sage Foley
You'll knock.
Paul Verdier
I think I would. After, like, if I. Maybe not the first time. Let's say I pass it. I'm like, oh, that's weird. But then, like, let's say later on I go.
Kevin James Ryan
You come back from, like, two hours.
Paul Verdier
Later, I come back from dinner, and I see it. If I know the person, they're like, a nice person that I've had, like, nice, small.
Sage Foley
This is midnight. The first time you walk by and see it's the middle of the night.
Paul Verdier
Oh, no, no, I'm not getting involved.
Kevin James Ryan
In that guy clearly, that guy got got, and I don't want to be the next day, somebody's after that guy.
Paul Verdier
Listen, we're talking two in the afternoon. I'll do a good deed. Midnight. I'm not being part of this. I'm not a statistic in this. No, midnight's nuts. God forbid you knock and the door opens a little bit. Leaning in after 9pm all bets are off.
Kevin James Ryan
You're on your own.
Paul Verdier
Midnight in New York City.
Kevin James Ryan
Keys.
Paul Verdier
No, no. There better be a detective in there, because it ain't gonna be me.
Kevin James Ryan
You better hope Homicide's already there. Briscoe shows up.
Paul Verdier
Dude, at midnight. Knocking on somebody's door at midnight with the keys, that's like. Because now you could be part of it.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, now.
Paul Verdier
Now a witness goes, oh, I saw so and so. Knock on it.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, I know, but I get crazier. I go, the key to the front door's in there. So what if the one of these guys, you know, one of these, you know, delivery guys, whatever, takes it now, they can come and go.
Paul Verdier
Yeah.
Kevin James Ryan
And they got full access to the fucking. To the whole apartment.
Paul Verdier
You want to know what guys? This is why I live in the woods, okay?
Sage Foley
There's no trick or treaters.
Paul Verdier
There's no building. There's no, yeah, sure. Now you got to get out of a building.
Kevin James Ryan
I said I would take the keys, Slip a note on the door. Hey, found your keys. I'm across the hall. 5a.
Paul Verdier
You guys are rich now. Listen, you guys are rich now. Stop living this, guys, you're living.
Kevin James Ryan
You'd be shocked at how bad with money he is. Shocked you'd be slapping around.
Paul Verdier
It's gonna be a documentary on Netflix. Behind the podcast, the Downfall of Foley. H. Foley's Financial Ruins. Like, dude, he had 200. Gotta open up the books.
Kevin James Ryan
He don't want nobody looking at the book.

Listen, I got it.
Paul Verdier
I got a real estate guy. You come to Westchester. Come to Westchester, and you don't have to deal with keys and doors at midnight.
Kevin James Ryan
I know.
Sage Foley
I also found out, too, because I think I mentioned I locked myself out for like, half a second, and the super came up and let me in, and he's like, you know, if that ever happens, there's a set of keys downstairs.
Kevin James Ryan
Everybody knows that.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, that's Fun to know.
Sage Foley
Yeah.
Paul Verdier
Yeah.
Sage Foley
So anybody. Literally, there's somebody that can get into any building, any apartment in New York City you want to write.
Paul Verdier
Think about, like this. Every hotel you stay in, they could get in.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah.
Sage Foley
I put that little flip thing on, though.
Paul Verdier
Yeah. Yeah. That little. That little metal thing is. Is giving us.
Kevin James Ryan
The pieces come all over that. That thing.
Sage Foley
Yeah. You ever see what. You ever see where they come in and, like, the hanger comes up and.

Kevin James Ryan
You ain't off the grid.
Paul Verdier
You ain't off the grid.
Kevin James Ryan
What I mean, I also. I've had to call locksmith before. It's scary. Scary how quick they get in your house.
Sage Foley
I wish I would have.
Kevin James Ryan
I mean, 10 seconds. 10 seconds. He was in my apartment to the point where I was like, have you been here before? Yeah. I was like, this is crazy, Kevin.
Paul Verdier
I was a baby.
Kevin James Ryan
He had my keys, just opened it up.
Sage Foley
That's another thing, too. I wouldn't want a toy for the kid.
Kevin James Ryan
Hey, good kid. It looks just like him.
Sage Foley
I wouldn't mind getting Paul's advice on this. I mean, I guess I did the right thing, but we were in. Where were we? With the. With the Asian kid.
Kevin James Ryan
Okay. Bob, put a pin in that. San Francisco.
Sage Foley
We're. So. We're in San Francisco.
Paul Verdier
He's in the trunk.
Sage Foley
Smart kids story like that. So we're in a hotel in San Francisco, right?
Paul Verdier
Yeah.
Sage Foley
I came home from the back from the show. I had a couple drinks in me, and I did that thing where you go in, all the lights are on, the TV's on, you lay down in your jeans, and I just fell asleep. Woke up at like one couple of drinks. A couple of drinks.
Kevin James Ryan
You gotta be hit with a tranquilizer, dude.
Paul Verdier
The last time I did that, I drank a bottle of Dewar's and almost had gotten my stomach. Dewars.
Kevin James Ryan
A bottle of Dewars. So trash.
Paul Verdier
The Giants won the Super Bowl. What do you want from me?
Kevin James Ryan
Shout out, Eli. Don't drink a bottle.
Paul Verdier
You know, you come home, you pack.
Kevin James Ryan
Up for your clothes. I had a couple of beers at the beginning.
Paul Verdier
I had a snow suit on. A snow suit on my snow boot up in the next day, I take.
Sage Foley
My skis off, you know, I wake up. So I wake up at like 1:50, you know. You wake up like, what the. So I take my off, I go into the bathroom to pee. This is two o' clock in the morning. And I had heard. I thought I heard a woman's voice walking up and down the hallway. I swear to God, I hear this.
Kevin James Ryan
We're in a bad hotel, not a nice hotel.
Sage Foley
And I hear this on the door. A little faint knock. I open the door. There's a 12 year old Asian kid standing there with no shoes, shorts and a T shirt on.
Kevin James Ryan
He doesn't, he doesn't peephole it. He just blindly opens the door. San Francisco, downtown, at the wharf. He just opens the door.
Paul Verdier
Cops, right? I did cops last week.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Sage Foley
So I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?
Paul Verdier
You didn't pee pole?
Sage Foley
No, I just opened it.
Kevin James Ryan
That's insane.
Paul Verdier
Nuts. Dude.
Kevin James Ryan
If I. If you're coming home, if you're like, hey, Kippy, I'm finishing up, we're gonna go get breakfast, I'll knock on your door. When I'm here, I'm still peep hole in it. Even if I'm expecting.
Sage Foley
Well, here's the thing. I have these moments of courage, blindly, that I.
Paul Verdier
That you were drunk.
Kevin James Ryan
It's called doers.
Sage Foley
Because I. I fucking opened it. Like, hey, are we doing this? Let's. If it's going down, let's do it quick. So I open the door, there's a fucking Asian kid standing there. And I'm like, what the fuck are you. I was like, I thought I was dreaming.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah.
Sage Foley
I'm like, what are you doing? And he's like. And then for half a second I thought like the Yakuza was on either side. And I was. I was gonna catch a fucking Hanzo sword. And through my nipples he's like, I locked myself out of the room and I can't get back in. And I've been going up and down knocking on everybody's door. And you're the only one that answered. I'm like, you're knocking on everybody's stomach. What are you fucking. I immediately started yelling at the kid.
Kevin James Ryan
Which probably, I'm drunk in here, I.
Sage Foley
Could have grabbed you. So I take him downstairs, I turn him over to the fucking guy. And then I came down to get a bottle of water. Like, what the hell was that? He's like, he was sleepwalking.
Paul Verdier
Oh, so.
Sage Foley
And he was on a field trip. It was an Asian kid with an Australian accent. Then I see a little Shit out of me. So they bring him back up to his room, and as they're passing me again, I say, listen, just so you know, buddy, next time something like that happens, go right down to the lobby. Don't go knocking on people's doors. They'll kidnap you. And fucking the next morning, all these kids are coming out. I yelled to him, I was like, bobby. And he fucking ices me.
Kevin James Ryan
I'm like, oh, yeah, dude, he's with 200 of his friends.
Paul Verdier

Kevin James Ryan
Looking like this, right?
Sage Foley
So now that's the escort I ordered.
Paul Verdier
I told you. I told you so. So I'm like, I'm like kind of freaking out. He's banging hard and then all of a sudden it goes away. So now I'm obviously, I'm uneasy. And it was one of those hotels that have four floors, you know, the fucking. The shitty ones. Yeah, big square button. I was pissed. I got it booked there, but it was, you know. So wait, big square button.
Sage Foley
What do you mean?
Paul Verdier
You know, like the big square. White. They light up white.
Kevin James Ryan
Oh, yeah.
Paul Verdier
In the elevator.
Kevin James Ryan
Oh, it's simple. Elevator.
Paul Verdier
It's like literally, I notice one through four. So it's like a big lit up fucking.
Sage Foley
He's judging the lights on the elevator.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, no, that's how I. No, no, seriously, you want to go to a good hotel, look at the buttons in the elevator.
Kevin James Ryan
Round, round with a little contour and a circ.
Paul Verdier
Certain font.
Kevin James Ryan
Yes, you're not wrong.
Paul Verdier
So certain font on the numbers.
Kevin James Ryan
I never thought about that.
Sage Foley
That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
Paul Verdier
I'll tell you about toilet. Public toilets. So I go, dude, now I'm kind of like. It was a little unnerving because the way he was looking around.
Sage Foley
Right? Yeah, he's looking to somebody up.
Paul Verdier
So, so then I, I look. This was when it got really creepy. I look through in the courtyard because like from my. I was on the third floor when I looked Down. I could see the pool and, like, where you go to reception? And I look, and all of a sudden he's. And I open the thing this much, a crack like that. Like that crack. Like that. Hiding. And all of a sudden, he walks and looks right up through the crack at me. Dude, it was like Cape Fear. And I just. I just let go of the thing. So now I'm kind of pacing around.
Kevin James Ryan
You got your lock, though. You're like the deadbolt of whatever that.
Paul Verdier
So then all of a sudden, dude.
Sage Foley
You called down in the lobby.
Kevin James Ryan
9, 1 1.
Paul Verdier
So what happened? He come. I hear a knock again. So I called downstairs and I go, yo, there's a dude, you know, I go, can somebody look, somebody come up here? There's somebody with, like, no shirt walking around, everything like that. So now I'm like. I'm so uneasy. I'm freaking out. I see workers go past my room looking. They go, yeah, no, we didn't see anything.
Sage Foley
And now.
Paul Verdier
So now all of a sudden, this is all 100% real. So now I'm just like, all right. So five minutes go by, and I'm like, maybe it's the wrong thing. Maybe it's just whatever, you know? And I start to, like, calm down. And then bang, bang, bang. Throwing shoulder. And I'm looking. Throwing shoulder. Get the up. Throwing his shoulder. I call downstairs, I go, dude, there's somebody at my door right now that wants to harm me. I go, I need. I need. You gotta call.
Kevin James Ryan
Well, who. Who.
Paul Verdier
What is he? You know, asking questions.
Sage Foley
Get the up here.
Paul Verdier
She goes, we'll call you back. We're gonna call.
Kevin James Ryan
Call me back, dude.
Paul Verdier
She called back and goes, the police want you to call them. And I go, ma', am, this dude is. This dude is throwing his shoulder screaming now. And I'm at the dude, I grab my bags, I grab everything.
Sage Foley
Are you yelling to him like, what the fuck?
Paul Verdier
Oh, no, no, I. Mum's the word.
Kevin James Ryan
I like that move.
Paul Verdier
Nothing.
Kevin James Ryan
I agree.
Sage Foley
You turn the lights out, whatever you're.
Kevin James Ryan
Going to say, he's not going to go. You're like, hey, this is comedian Paul Vers.
Paul Verdier
He's not going, oh, my bad. So, dude, I'm free.
Sage Foley
No specials out now again. Check it out.
Paul Verdier
But October 8th, so. So he's like, I'm. I'm. Now I'm in a certain. Now I'm in a fight or flight. What do I do? I grab my bags. I think I said, you need to get me out of this hotel. I called downstairs. I go, you got to get me. I don't call the cops because I tried calling, and it. They were. Took long to. Okay, what's. And I just hung up.
Kevin James Ryan
Hey, you need. You need immediate help.
Paul Verdier
I need immediate.
Kevin James Ryan
Someone on the Prince.
Paul Verdier
I need immediate help, because if that dude got in the room, I don't know what would have happened, Seriously. And so finally, after banging, banging, screaming, he goes away. I go, I need some. I'm dressed. My bags are there. I said, somebody's got to come up here. He's like, do they, like. Do you want us to knock on the door? How are you going to know it's us? Are you going to. I said, just come to the door with whoever knock. I'll look when I see it's you. So long story short, I go there. They walk me out. I call Bertolina. Bertolina's like, dude, come. My wife said, come over. Like, we'll get you set up. I go, no. I went to, like, Studio City. I went to, like, one of, like, the Universal, where all the tourism kids are. My neighbors are little kids. And so I'm on, like, the big building, 11th floor. And I called the next day, and I was like, did you guys. And they were like. Somebody was on the premise. You're not in it. You weren't targeted. Somebody was on the thing either, looking for somebody. We got rid of them. And I said, and they wouldn't give me information. And I go, well, was I targeted? Because my room was targeted. And they were like, no, you know, it wasn't about. It wasn't about you. So when. When you told me that story, it fucking. I got ptsd. It just flashed back. I wish it was a little Asian boy.
Kevin James Ryan
I'd be able to fuck you on pussy.
Paul Verdier
You know? But no, dude, like, things like that can happen, and it could have been bad. So. Always look out of the peephole.
Kevin James Ryan
Always peep. That's insane.
Paul Verdier
And, yeah, a sleepwalk. I'll be honest with you. I would have just let. I would have looked out of the people and just not done anything. I would have called. I would have looked out of the people.
Kevin James Ryan
Hold the front.
Paul Verdier
And I've called front desk. Dude, there's an Asian kid here.
Kevin James Ryan
You're gonna have to get up pretty early to try to set me up. Me fall for this.
Sage Foley
There's an Asian kid here. It's funny because when I walk down to the guy at the front desk, he acted like it happened five times a day.
Kevin James Ryan
That was a bad ho.
Paul Verdier
And I apologize if anybody. I told that story on two different pods.
Sage Foley
I never heard that.
Paul Verdier
No, no, yeah, no, dude, it was. That was one of the scariest moments of my. That was the scariest moment of my life on the road. Because dude, when I heard like this dude was like wwe. And when he, when he was throwing his shoulder in screaming to get like that, that's when I was like, oh, this dude wants to do harm.
Sage Foley
Was he saying let me in?
Paul Verdier
He was, ah, what the.
Kevin James Ryan
You know, like it just fucking out or something.
Paul Verdier
But it was, it was weird because it was like it went quiet like a horror movie. Went quiet like a horror movie. It's over. And then all of a sudden like back and then the people couldn't find it, you know.
Kevin James Ryan
Dude, I had, I had something relatively similar where it's like horror movie esque, where it was like we were. We used to play cards at this like place. We had to like buzz through like two doors. It was in a strip mall in the, in the suburbs outside of Philly. And I, I. My buddy was still in there. I had lost all my money so I went outside and I was smoking. This is like fucking one in the morning strip mall. Empty. There's like a bar a couple doors down, like an Irish pub or whatever, but the whole thing's like empty. And it's quiet as I'm just out there smoking and I see this guy just like figure like probably you know, a hundred yards away, all the way down at the other end of the parking lot, just kind of walking around. So I got eyes on him. He's in a wife beater and he's got his hair and braids like in the. Like, like two of the big braids but with, with like little girl like doily. You know, like those. Yeah, you know, like real. We odd. Young. Like young. Like it would be like an 8 year old girl's hair. Jeez. And I'm like looking around. I turn my back five seconds, not even, and I turn back around and he has closed the fucking like in a supernatural way.
Sage Foley
Whoa.
Kevin James Ryan
He has closed the distance on me and was just stand. Like he wasn't running her off in a bunch. He was just looking at me. What?
Sage Foley
Wait, what kind of the doilies in his hair?
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, like, you know, they were like the two little balls and there's like a rubber band. Yeah, he's got those in his hair.
Sage Foley
Like, like. So his hair's coming out like pigtails.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, he's got like two pigtails and.
Paul Verdier
He'S just staring at you and he.
Kevin James Ryan
Dude, he's like, from fucking me to.
Sage Foley
The camera, this couldn't have been some bruiser you hooked up with the week before or something?
Kevin James Ryan
Like, that was like a six two, dude.
Sage Foley
All right.
Kevin James Ryan
Color. That's right. Do you have sex with this guy? Like, oh, shit.
Paul Verdier
I was fucking hammered.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, I can. Doers will get you. I completely forgot I had sex with this guy.
Sage Foley
No, it was probably some fat chick. You never called back or something.
Kevin James Ryan
No, he was a huge dude.
Paul Verdier
Somebody's locked on you like that. Isn't it just the scariest, dude?
Kevin James Ryan
My first thing was like, Jeepers Creep the way I. I don't know. I still don't know how. It's the only thing of, like, supernatural. I'm like, wow, he was so far away. And then right there. And what didn't, like, run up, he was just standing. He said, what you trying to get into tonight? I'm trying to open the door, but the door's locked.
Paul Verdier
Oh.
Kevin James Ryan
And now I'm like, that's what you're trying to get into tonight?
Paul Verdier
Not you, buddy. I hope you.
Kevin James Ryan
Not me.
Paul Verdier
Holy no.
Kevin James Ryan
So I do, I run into the. I, I, I, I sprint to the Irish pub. I get in the Irish pub and they're like, what's going. And I'm like, looking out the window and then, dude, like, out of them and no one.
Sage Foley
Dude, is the fryer still on?
Kevin James Ryan
Let me get some chicken.
Paul Verdier
Dude, that would freak me out if I was in the bar. Be like, dude, lock the door.
Kevin James Ryan
I know. I come running in. And then, dude, he just leaned in the window and like that and looked at me. And I'm like, this guy. And then by the time I turned around, he was gone again. They must have thought I was fucking nuts.
Paul Verdier
Nuts.
Kevin James Ryan
Wait, how long ago this is Fries is 8 as 19 years old. Something like that.
Paul Verdier
Full head of hair. I mean, dude.
Kevin James Ryan
So then we get in the car. My bomb, like, dude, my buddy comes out. I'm like, get in the car. Because he was driving, so I didn't have, like, keys to get in the car. So we get in the car and we're like, coming out of the parking lot. I'm like, dude, this. He thinks I'm not. He's like, dude, shut up. And then out of nowhere, this guy comes running towards the car again. I'm like, go, go, go. Blew the red light and got the out of there. Yeah. Hit me with a. What you trying to get into?
Paul Verdier
Yeah. No, dude, that's. Some people are nuts and they just lock one person.
Kevin James Ryan
It was. Yeah, there was something there. Was either mental illness or drugs. And he was.
Paul Verdier
I think the guy at the hotel was maybe even looking for a girl that he thought could have been there, but definitely on some sort of meth or something and just went to the room and thought it was the room and got fixated on it and. But yeah, dude, it's scary.
Sage Foley
It's tough to even. No matter whether you. If in a straight fight, you could take the guy or not. Not when somebody's in that ass kicking.
Kevin James Ryan
You're not.
Sage Foley
Yeah.
Kevin James Ryan
You're not briefs.
Paul Verdier
I just played golf and had two tequilas. I'm the opposite of this guy. I want to put my.
Sage Foley
Just put my Invisalign.
Paul Verdier
I put my feet up. I'm ready for another Stranger things episode. And this guy is going like, dude, it was not fun.
Kevin James Ryan
That is a switch. Because that feeling, when you finally get real comfortable in a hotel after travel, you're rubbing your tootsies together.
Paul Verdier
You're like.
Kevin James Ryan
Like, dude, I get to sleep in.
Paul Verdier
Exactly what it was. And. And. And the two tequilas, I wasn't drunk, but it was just a tiny light buzz and that all sobered up like that. And now I'm in fight or flight, and I got some lunatic banging on the door.
Kevin James Ryan
I don't like that.
Paul Verdier
No.
Kevin James Ryan
Jesus Christ. That scared the out of me.
Sage Foley
This is very fitting for Halloween.
Paul Verdier

Paul Verdier
We got a new block, this one. No scissors. Those scissors in the old block are in the drawer.
Sage Foley
Gotcha.
Paul Verdier
We kind of have more bare. And then the things are kind of stored away.
Sage Foley

Paul Verdier
I mean an air fryer is nuts. I mean my air fryer is bigger than a sneaker box. I can't have that out.
Sage Foley

Sage Foley
Anything else?
Paul Verdier
Nah.
Kevin James Ryan
Where's the. What's the paper towel sitch?
Paul Verdier
Paper towel situation is right next to a nice roll metal in a metal. Slip it on a metal thing next to the. Right next to the sink.
Kevin James Ryan
Does it have the arm that holds it back from flapping? You know what I mean? Yeah.
Paul Verdier
Yes it does.
Sage Foley
Where's the trash can?
Paul Verdier
Trash can is a pull out drawer.
Sage Foley
Is it? Is the drawer next to the dishwasher full size though?
Paul Verdier
Yeah, full size.
Sage Foley
How do you feel about the. Remember when the little trash can was underneath the sink?
Paul Verdier
No. Yeah, no, I kind of got that.
Kevin James Ryan
At my house in the burbs. It's like the drawer that blow your nose twice.
Paul Verdier

Sage Foley
No, but I'm saying when it was just a regular. Oh no.
Kevin James Ryan
Like a little snub nose guy.
Sage Foley
I always thought that was always like your grandmom's house, you know, it's underneath the sink. Go in there.
Paul Verdier
No, we have, we have the pull out. Like a pull out cat, like draw. And it has the recycling behind it. Yeah, yeah.
Sage Foley
And it's, it's flush when those things hit in like the 90s, the people had. God damn, what's your dad do again?
Kevin James Ryan
Dude? I remember for the longest time the technology wasn't even there to like really have a lid on the trash.
Paul Verdier
Yeah.
Kevin James Ryan
You know what I mean? That would just be out in the kitchen, just trash.
Paul Verdier
Remember the flap you stepped on and Then it opened.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, that thing worked for about a week and a half.
Sage Foley
That thing fucking made by Tom and Jerry.
Paul Verdier
And then it just snapped after.
Kevin James Ryan
We had one. We had one lid that just did not stay the fuck on.
Paul Verdier
I think the least.
Kevin James Ryan
The dog would flip it off and shit.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, I think the least amount of things.
Kevin James Ryan
Minimalistic. Yeah.
Paul Verdier
Because listen, you have them in your drawers, tucked away. Tupperware in this draw, air fryer in this draw. If we need the blender, it's somewhere. But as far as, like, when somebody comes in and the house is done up nice, you don't see many.
Sage Foley
I like that.
Paul Verdier
Yeah.
Kevin James Ryan
Classy. Very, very classy.
Sage Foley
My dad looks like a pawn shop.
Kevin James Ryan
My wife gets. She's cluttered, McGee. Okay. I'm so like, have we used this in the past week? If not, we're throwing it out.
Sage Foley
As much as a slob as I am, that is one thing that I kind of like to be somewhat organized and. And we go so far as like to like. Like, here's the. The oven. Like the stove right next to that is like bills and shit like that.
Kevin James Ryan
So it's like goddamn fire.
Sage Foley
I'm grabbing the cable bill and it's covered in grease.
Kevin James Ryan
Tomatoes.
Paul Verdier
It's got a con edge bill with hamburger grease on it.
Sage Foley
Yeah. Like, I'm running a beef and beer.
Paul Verdier

Kevin James Ryan
Are they decorative or seasonal?
Paul Verdier
Well, see, my wife. Here's it. Yeah, my wife. Wife is.
Kevin James Ryan

Paul Verdier
My wife is very. Everything is like, as soon as it's October 1, the house is Halloween.
Sage Foley
Okay.
Paul Verdier
As soon as. After Halloween, the house is Thanksgiving. As soon as Thanksgiving, I mean, dude, it's like you went.
Kevin James Ryan
She runs a tight ship.
Paul Verdier
Christmas, it's like you went to the North Pole downstairs. It's like there's a bunch of elves that made. It's nuts.
Sage Foley
Christmas, I assume you get drug into that weekend, but what about. Does the Halloween and the Thanksgiving. Do you get brought in to work on that shift when she's switching them over?
Paul Verdier
No.
Sage Foley

Paul Verdier
They do that. She goes up in the attic, gets all the shit from that one, puts the stuff from the other one and just transforms the house.
Sage Foley
Yeah. I'm not. I just like when other people do that stuff.
Ad Reader
Stuff.
Sage Foley
And you walk into it.
Paul Verdier
Yeah. Well, look at me. I'm not exactly a decorative type.
Kevin James Ryan
He's doing hand turkeys and he's hanging them up, playing.
Sage Foley

Paul Verdier
Where's the Thanksgiving welcome mat? My wife. There's a different welcome mat for everything.
Kevin James Ryan

Sage Foley
Does the scent change through the season?
Paul Verdier

Sage Foley
Okay, that's good.
Kevin James Ryan
That's good. That's.
Paul Verdier
Ah, dude, I don't know. I don't bring Christmas. Like, I jerked off an elf. My hand smells like spearmint.
Sage Foley
I love that.
Paul Verdier
Do you?
Sage Foley
I like. I love the. I love apples and cinnamon.
Paul Verdier
I don't know why I said jerked off an elf, but.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, I got it.
Sage Foley
I was thinking about the Asian boy. Yeah.
Paul Verdier
We're very color coordinated, matching. Have things that you don't use, towels that you don't use for. You know, the bathroom has the set of towels that you don't touch.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah.
Paul Verdier
And then the set of towels that you. Wait.
Sage Foley
There's the bathroom downstairs. Right? There's the.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, there's a little bathroom downstairs.
Sage Foley
Okay. I go in there, I pee, I wash my hands.
Paul Verdier
Yep.
Sage Foley
What can I use?
Paul Verdier
No, no, you're downstairs. All bets are off.
Sage Foley
I can do whatever I want. You go for it.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, yeah. You go upstairs. There's certain towels, but you'll know which towel.
Kevin James Ryan
You can tell if it's got letter, if it's embroidered, got a design. If it's not used, you. You shouldn't be using it.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, yeah. If they're the ones that got stitching and embroidery, you know, things like that you don't touch.
Sage Foley
You know, I always run into that problem when it's. When the hand towels not present. Like, say especially like apartments. There's not two bathrooms, you know, they're just one.
Kevin James Ryan
Using someone's.
Sage Foley
Like if someone's towel.
Kevin James Ryan
I've. I've done that.
Sage Foley
If someone's towels hanging on the back of the door. And like, I bet somebody.
Paul Verdier
Yeah.
Sage Foley
If I was at Luke's house, I went in there and did my business, wash my hands, all that kind of stuff. Look through the medicine cabinet, see what's going on.
Paul Verdier
Are you.
Kevin James Ryan
Do you.
Sage Foley
Oh, yeah.
Paul Verdier
You look through medicine cabinets?
Kevin James Ryan
What?
Paul Verdier
See, I got.
Sage Foley
I'm an addict.
Paul Verdier
Oh, Jesus.
Kevin James Ryan
I need foot cream. If they got it.
Paul Verdier
Can't invite this guy over for a Holiday dinner. He's rummaging.
Kevin James Ryan
Keeping you out back. Been going through the trash?
Paul Verdier
Guy stealing my Claritins?
Kevin James Ryan
I had a full Z pack in here. Henry.
Paul Verdier
I had two lots of ceilings left for a rainy day. This guy runny nose now?
Sage Foley
No, I don't do it anymore. If I was in his place.
Paul Verdier
Turn the cameras on. Foley's taking a.
Kevin James Ryan
Get the ring cam going. You stink.
Sage Foley
You don't take a peek?
Paul Verdier
No, that's nuts.
Sage Foley
What?
Paul Verdier
Dude take a peek in a medicine cabinet. I feel like I'm robbing a joint.
Kevin James Ryan
I can't.
Paul Verdier
My friend's house.
Kevin James Ryan
That is a level of respect that you should be like. I'm assuming cuz the medicine cabinet's intimate. You know what I mean? It could be something for his wife, something for the kids. And you're rooting around in there.
Paul Verdier
It's a fistful of Q tips.
Kevin James Ryan
Got a mouth full of cotton balls.
Sage Foley
I'll get out of here.
Paul Verdier
Dental floss is in his pocket. Jesus. Yeah.
Sage Foley
What a water pick. Go.
Paul Verdier
So you're.
Sage Foley
I just like to take a peek and see. Listen, I like all that stuff. I also look in the shower, to be honest.
Paul Verdier
I gotta be honest with you.
Sage Foley
I look in the shower. Especially if it's a lady's apartment and not in a creepy way.
Kevin James Ryan
It sounds in a creepy way for being honest.
Paul Verdier
Just like that sounds in the biggest peeping Tom away I've ever heard.
Sage Foley
I just like to see how people have like their shampoo and all that kind of stuff. I'd like that stuff. Like how cozy is the shower? You know what I mean? No, no.
Paul Verdier
I mean.
Kevin James Ryan
And you always. You do a lot of this intimate stuff under the guise of coziness. I like cozy. Cozy? You're a grown man who uses cozy too much.
Paul Verdier
Are you opening drawers or just a medicine cabinet? You'll open a drawer.
Sage Foley
Sometimes you get.
Kevin James Ryan
Put your clothes on if you want to. Sometimes your panties.
Paul Verdier
That's wearing your robes. See how it fits.
Kevin James Ryan
I like being cozy.
Sage Foley
Sometimes in the. In the vanity. Sometimes on the vanity. They have those fake drawers where they're sealed.
Paul Verdier
Yeah, Yeah.
Kevin James Ryan
I had those growing.
Sage Foley
I hated that.
Kevin James Ryan
I didn't get that.
Paul Verdier
There was always one draw. That didn't. That didn't.
Sage Foley
What the fuck is that for?
Paul Verdier
Yeah, no, that's true.
Sage Foley
But then it makes sense. It's like why do you have a drawer? I know. The sinks right there.
Kevin James Ryan
Yeah, because. So it's just decoration because you can't have a drawer because the sink's there. So. But it'd be weird if you just had a big piece of wood, you got a little.
Paul Verdier
Dude, next time I invite you guys to the house, I'm just gonna have a sign in the medicine that says high Foley.
Kevin James Ryan
Open it up, call you, take everything out.
Sage Foley
Paulie, we can't thank you enough for coming in and sitting down with us.
Kevin James Ryan

But doing so means you must return to the surface where ark machines roam and survivors motives remain dangerously unclear. But if you're brave enough, who knows what you might find.

Hosts: Kevin Ryan & H. Foley
Guest: Paul Virzi
In this lively and laugh-packed episode, beloved recurring guest Paul Virzi returns to Are You Garbage? to catch up with H. Foley and Kevin Ryan, dig into life updates, and—of course—submit himself to the show's unique mix of trashy comedy interrogation and relatable stories. The three comedians trade tales about home mishaps, Halloween misadventures, childhood candy habits, and the etiquette of looking in medicine cabinets. Paul plugs his new podcast, shares some of his weirdest travel experiences, and the group debates what it means to be “garbage”—philosophically and practically.
Paul Virzi’s guest spot on Are You Garbage? delivers exactly what you’d hope: hysterical, relatable stories about life, family, and adulthood’s trashy rituals—plus a healthy dose of paranoia about who’s at your door after midnight. The chemistry between Paul, H. Foley, and Kevin Ryan is unmatched, each drawing out new levels of honesty (and shame) from the others. Whether you're listening for the comedy, the homeownership tips, or the low-key philosophy about what makes someone “garbage,” this episode’s a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike.
