Stage Foley
That's right. Okay.
Ryan Sickler
Anytime I'm in pain these days, I can go work out. I work at the. The guy I work out with, his name's Aaron. He's a doctor. And this dude knows what he's fucking.

Stage Foley
But me too.
Ryan Sickler
So last night I was like, well, let me go down to this gym and look at this gym. And it is the nicest.

Guest or Additional Host
I mean, I don't know why you.
Stage Foley
Gotta take shots at us.
Guest or Additional Host
Not just this room. This is a large area. That's why I'm saying this is a big spaceship.
Kevin Clancy
We're in an airplane hangar.
Guest or Additional Host
And it's enough. It fills it all up.
Ryan Sickler
Veep, did you go up to the pool?
Kevin Clancy
I didn't. I go.
Stage Foley
There's a pool at the airport.
Ryan Sickler
It's an infinity pool that's heated. Like, hot tub water. And it overlooks the airport. You can watch planes land and just take a dip. It's a phenomenal.
Stage Foley
That's jet fuel you're smelling.
Guest or Additional Host
There's a bar over there and everything.
Stage Foley
Really? That's pretty sick. I didn't know there was a bar.
Guest or Additional Host

Guest or Additional Host
That's like going to McDonald's and being like.
Ryan Sickler

Stage Foley
Their chicken wrap stinks.
Kevin Clancy
I got into a beef with the guy at the. At the food counter.
Guest or Additional Host
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
Cuz I don't know if. Did you go over that? They're all different.
Ryan Sickler
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Little stalls. And I like, grabbed a water from the. I didn't know they were all different. I grabbed the water from the one and was looking over at like the gummy bears at another. And he's like, hey, where are you going? I'm like, I'm looking at what you got here. He's like, you got to pay for that. I'm like, I will. I was.
Ryan Sickler
I'm not done shop.
Kevin Clancy
I'm not done shopping yet. He's like, these are all different stores. I'm like, it's the same counter.
Stage Foley
Do you have this at a large? I got snowed in there one night. Beautiful night.
Guest or Additional Host
Did you go to the pool?
Stage Foley
No. It was in the middle of December.
Ryan Sickler
It's a hot pool.
Stage Foley
That's. No way that's open at night in December.
Ryan Sickler
Trash. Then the hot tub in the winter.
Kevin Clancy
I don't know. You're calling it a hot pool. Doesn't sound classy.
Ryan Sickler
It's hot. I mean, I say that because a war.
Kevin Clancy
Like, it's not a heated pool. It's a hot pool.
Guest or Additional Host
It's more than heated.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Stage Foley
Did you go swimming?
Ryan Sickler
No. Today?
Stage Foley
I didn't bring my jean shorts.
Guest or Additional Host
I got my jorts with me, bro.
Ryan Sickler
You think I'm not going with the Jams. My mom homemade jam she made.
Stage Foley
You swam in basketball.
Ryan Sickler
Did you have jams growing up? I got a little younger than me. No, no, no, no.
Stage Foley
I'm 49. Jams were huge. Life is a beach hat were huge. Remember them?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, of course. Mackenzie, come on.
Stage Foley
What do you mean? He's a superintendent of our.
Ryan Sickler
My mom went to Joanne Fabrics, and basically we got jams at home.
Stage Foley
That's so funny you said that.
Ryan Sickler
We made them. She made.
Stage Foley
We made them in home EC class in seventh or eighth grade. We all had to make jams.
Kevin Clancy
Sounds like a sweatshop.
Stage Foley
Mine. So my legs came out of the pockets. It was embarrassing. I was not good at textiles. Is that what that's called?
Guest or Additional Host
Yes.
Stage Foley
Yeah, I was.
Ryan Sickler
Wait, so you got snowed in?
Stage Foley
You were snowed in there at the TWA Hotel? It was right around the pandemic. It was real quiet. Snow was falling down outside. Got a great night's sleep. I got up, dude, I was. There's a door. Like, we were. We were flying out of that terminal. There's a door at the bottom of that hotel. You're right in tsa.
Guest or Additional Host
Yep.
Stage Foley
Walking in a cockpit.
Kevin Clancy
I. I know, but that was another thing. They let you out of, like, Terminal 5. I had to get to Terminal 1, so I had to, like, get on.
Ryan Sickler
The shuttle, fly jet Blue.
Kevin Clancy
I didn't fly jet Blue.
Stage Foley
Yeah, well, stop flying Ugandan air.
Kevin Clancy
I'm a Delta.
Ryan Sickler
I'm flying out American. And they said it's a 20 minute walk to get to the tram and then over to the thing. That's all. But see, I. I like it. A little nostalgic for me because my father was an airline guy. My dad worked at. What's Ronald Reagan now? National Airport. He did a little stint.
Stage Foley
Reagan Dulles used to be Dulles, or.
Ryan Sickler
No, wait, no, it was National. Air Dulles is a little farther out in Virginia, There was National Airport, which is now Ronald Reagan, they call it. And then DWI is Baltimore, Wash. Is.
Kevin Clancy
It still Ronald Reagan?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, still. It was national when he worked there, though, in the 80s.
Stage Foley
They took it from.
Ryan Sickler
They gave it to Ronnie.
Kevin Clancy
I thought they took it, took the wall.
Ryan Sickler
Reagan and he was National Airlines is what we worked for or he worked for.
Kevin Clancy
What he do?
Ryan Sickler
He was a crew chief. Ran all the. Out there. And then they got bought out by Pan Am. So I still have my dad's old school Pan Am work shirt, jacket, and I wore it a lot on my first late night appearance, I wore his shirt just. My dad died when I was 16, so I wore it like, hey, we. We're doing it.
Kevin Clancy
He's there with you.
Ryan Sickler
And then immediately, because the industry is stupid, they're like, oh, he's a blue collar guy. I'm like, it's just a shirt.
Kevin Clancy
Just a shirt. Well, I am. I mean, yeah, you're not. You're not an orthodontist. I worked a goddamn ups. I could be.
Stage Foley
Damn, your teeth are up.
Kevin Clancy
I love. He's like, they try to label me. They try to label me a blue collar guy. What the else are they gonna do?
Guest or Additional Host
I guess I meant blue collar comedy tour. Southern redneck.
Kevin Clancy
I got you.
Stage Foley
I have. I have.
Kevin Clancy
Isaac, I didn't know you were doing so hot. Such high brow. What you. Dimitri Martin.
Stage Foley
I have. My dad's.
Kevin Clancy
Goddamn sickler cerebral now.
Guest or Additional Host
You guys know that.
Stage Foley
I shifted.
Kevin Clancy
I'm like, didn't we. We spent 45 minutes talking about dominoes last time you were here.
Stage Foley
Nathan Fielder over here.
Kevin Clancy
Like, did I miss the boat? The.
Guest or Additional Host
Is that what we talked about?
Ryan Sickler
The pizza hacks, how you tell them there's hair in it and they'll bring it out?
Kevin Clancy
Is that what you do?
Ryan Sickler
We didn't. Did we talk about this? No, this is one. I just told Stavi, too.
Stage Foley
This is paid for a pizza, 1986.
Guest or Additional Host
You can only do this once if you.
Ryan Sickler
Unless you move, okay? Once to an address and once to each place. In the 80s, at least Domino's was known. I don't know if they still are for fantastic customer service.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, they still are.
Ryan Sickler
Okay. They were known for that.
Stage Foley
I might push back on that, but go ahead.
Ryan Sickler
Back then, they would do it, you know? Like, they all do a pizza deal, whether it was three for 15 or buy two, get one free, whatever.
Stage Foley
555.
Ryan Sickler
And one night, we actually had hair on a pizza. So we called and they were like, we're so fucking sorry. We're gonna bring new pizza out, right? We told them the other two are good. Just the one has hair on. Well, they brought out what we paid for. So they brought out three pizzas.
Kevin Clancy
These pizzas, dirt bag lottery.
Ryan Sickler
Look like they could go in a commercial. Okay? They gave us magnets. Aw. You know what I'm saying?
Kevin Clancy
Make it right.
Ryan Sickler
And we're like. So then we call Papa John's one night. Like, got hair on this pizza. We got the two for one. They're like, we'll send somebody out. Boom. Two pizzas.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, shit.
Ryan Sickler
Oh, shit. So we keep doing it. I mean, we also moved a ton, so we're doing it. I'm now at this point, I'm homeless. I'm living with my grandmom's sister, my Aunt Marguerite. I'm working at UPS. Shout out to UPS, Ballmer Hub, Primary 1 Joe Avenue. I'm just basically sleeping on her couch. I'm working ups. And I'm also going to school full time, going to Towson and ups. I'm. I'm there for about four hours a night to sleep. And a weekend comes and she's going out with my Uncle Ed to do something and she's like, I'm going to buy you guys pizzas. I'm going to get you four of them. I go, just buy two, I'll get us the four.
Guest or Additional Host
And she's like, what are you talking about?
Ryan Sickler
I said, just trust me on this, Aunt Marguerite. I'm going to call, tell them there's hair on one, they're going to send two more out. She's like, they're not going to do that. I like, they're going to do that.
Stage Foley
Where are your scissors?
Ryan Sickler
P.S. have you ever done that here? Have you ever called? She's like, no.
Kevin Clancy
I got a few questions I got to ask you, Marguerite.
Ryan Sickler
I gotta scan, I gotta screen you.
Kevin Clancy
I don't. I don't wanna end up in. When he shows up.
Stage Foley
He lives a normal life, blending into his community. But people had no idea.
Guest or Additional Host
So we get the twofer. Call back right away.
Ryan Sickler
We got hair all over this pizza.
Kevin Clancy
It's all over.
Ryan Sickler
We're so sorry, sir.
Stage Foley
It's not even delivered yet.
Guest or Additional Host
Two more come out. My Aunt Marguerite can't get over it. She's like, that is ridiculous. So one and done though. It's a one and done.
Stage Foley
Got sicklers all over the country pulling.
Ryan Sickler
This all the time. All the time. We get excited to move. I'm like, guess what we're getting for.
Guest or Additional Host
The next two weeks?
Ryan Sickler
Free pizza.
Kevin Clancy
And everybody hitting everybody up. Where would you say your allegiance lied? Growing up, chain pizza wise, were you a domino? Obviously. Wherever you could get the deal. What did you prefer?
Ryan Sickler
I'll tell you, it wasn't a chain back then. We had a local spot called American Pizza. And again, Dad's dead, my mom left our family before that. So from 16 on, I have a twin brother, fraternal twin, he's 16, obviously, and my younger brother time is 13. So the three of us are just living by ourselves in this house.
Stage Foley
That's a lot of pizza.
Ryan Sickler
And we would order American Pizza every day to the point where they would.
Guest or Additional Host
Be like, okay, Kevin, we'll see you.
Ryan Sickler
In about 15 yes. It's wet. They know your voice. They give you the address, like, all right, Ryan, we'll see you in ten.
Stage Foley
I love that.
Ryan Sickler
Oh, my God. So we went there. If there was a chain. Papa John's didn't exist in the 80s. At least where we were wasn't around. But we had. And Domino's got to be newer. That's when they had the Noid.
Kevin Clancy
Remember the pizza?
Ryan Sickler
Of course.
Kevin Clancy
Shout out to the Noid.
Ryan Sickler
But Pizza Hut was the spot. And that was back then. The sit down. We're going out.
Kevin Clancy
As an event.
Ryan Sickler
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
A family dining.
Ryan Sickler
And if you got a 3.0 or higher on your report card, you were considered honor roll and you got a free personal pan.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
So if you did good on your report card, a big night out was Pizza Hut. And you park in the parking lot, you go sit down, and someone comes over and takes your order. Now you walk up to a fucking window and you pick it up.
Stage Foley
So you went around to all the nerds in your high school, beat them up, took their report card.
Ryan Sickler
I know your boy was smart.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
Word. 3.0.
Kevin Clancy
I was not showing off.
Ryan Sickler
I was it.
Guest or Additional Host
Listen, hold on here. The stats, though.
Ryan Sickler
3.
Stage Foley
1.
Ryan Sickler
You get, I'm in all the honor classes. I'm in all the gifted and talented classes, but math is my week.
Stage Foley
Did I know all your weakness?
Ryan Sickler
Math is my D plus C minus. And I make sure I get a C in math every year because I know I'm getting an A in gym.
Kevin Clancy
A even. Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
My A cancels out that C and I'm being the rest of everything. And that's a 3.0, brother who brags.
Stage Foley
About an A in gym.
Guest or Additional Host
I love it. A lot of people didn't get it. You had to dress everybody.
Kevin Clancy
You're short.
Guest or Additional Host
I had my. That's right, bro. I had my uniform every day. I was prepared. I was not that A up.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah.
Stage Foley
I imagine you took kickball way too seriously. You're throwing curveballs.
Guest or Additional Host
That was the best. You want to be on your team?
Ryan Sickler
I'm.
Guest or Additional Host
Listen, you want to cheat on me and Jim, and I'm getting you in math.
Ryan Sickler
You know what I'm saying? I'm like, slide that little test to the side.
Stage Foley
What's 6 times 8?
Ryan Sickler
48.
Stage Foley
Is that right?
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. Well, you look at. You had to. You have to look at a guy.
Ryan Sickler
Very good at basic math. I'm very good at the. You know. Also had a problem for a while where I. I got a little. What do you call it when you get, you know, ocd I started counting by threes. I would just run my thumb on the remote. You do that. I just. I would sort of like run my thumb on the road. Go 3, 6, 9, 12, 15. I can count by threes like a. Huh? Twos ain't.
Kevin Clancy
That's. Dude, that's you there. Quicker.
Guest or Additional Host
All right, I'm gonna get you there.
Kevin Clancy
I'll get you there twice. I mean, dude, what a dirt bag thing.
Guest or Additional Host
I've never.
Kevin Clancy
I've heard a lot of dirt bag flexes. I've never heard someone go, I can count by threes. Like a something of a. I'll put you. I'll take your lights out. Counting by threes, three times nine.
Guest or Additional Host
Number that's 27.
Stage Foley
Three times nine.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, it is, bro.
Stage Foley
What's pie?
Kevin Clancy
What you eat for breakfast.
Guest or Additional Host
Three pie, lunch and dinner. That's 3.14. I believe. These are basic.
Stage Foley
Plus it's got a hair in it once you start.
Guest or Additional Host
I'm getting two pies, bro. That's 6.28.
Kevin Clancy
Two for 6.28. Repeat up until every address you get. You repeat that.
Stage Foley
I can see you at the Pizza Hut. Wait, yeah, you see that A in gym, huh?
Guest or Additional Host
See this right here, girl? Also a 3.0.
Ryan Sickler
Got you, cuz again, my dad's dead at 16, so I'm on my own insurance policy and it's. That's crazy expensive for a 16 year old.
Kevin Clancy
Wait, you had to get insurance?
Ryan Sickler
You're sell a drive.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, car insurance. I didn't meant health insurance. Got. I was like, how do you even.
Ryan Sickler
I don't even know if we had that.
Guest or Additional Host
I don't even think we had that.
Kevin Clancy
Not a. You get a doctor, go to brokers.
Guest or Additional Host
I get my physical for the school sports once a year and that's.
Ryan Sickler
I'm never seeing the doctor after that, but we had.
Kevin Clancy
You're something else.
Ryan Sickler
Health insurance or a car insurance. And if you got a 3.0.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
Good grade also helped you. So I made sure that's smart. I cheated off the right people.
Guest or Additional Host
And I got Bs and an A.
Ryan Sickler
In gym because once they put letters X's and A's and B's. That's when I was out. My daughter's in that already in fifth grade. I told her, you got to ask your mom. I'm gonna fuck your shit up.
Stage Foley
Algebra. I was. I was about out.
Ryan Sickler
Done.
Kevin Clancy
I'll get you counting by threes.
Guest or Additional Host
I got you counting by threes, girl. You'll see. 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 and then it just goes from there, you know, Just keep repeating your threes.
Ryan Sickler
I want you to hit that multiple 10, but you get it.
Stage Foley
What did it go went? Algebra, right? Geometry, biology. What was this?
Ryan Sickler
Biology.
Stage Foley
What's the one?
Ryan Sickler
It went for us. I think it was algebra, calculus, geometry. It was trigonometry. We had an intro to Calcul calculus and then a Calculus.
Stage Foley
What's that?
Ryan Sickler
And my argument was like, look, just because I'm in these gifted and talented classes and I do well in all the other ones, can you just put me in the remedial math? Like, do I gotta go all these or none? And it was like, all or none. I'm the guy bringing the curve down. In your math class.
Stage Foley
Sure.
Ryan Sickler
It's the shitty part.
Kevin Clancy
I. I got put in. I got put in, like, hurt you?
Guest or Additional Host
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
The really slow math class one year. And I noticed. And I was like, I'm just keeping my fucking mouse. This is easy A, dude.
Ryan Sickler
That's what I'm saying.
Kevin Clancy
I'm like, I'm just gonna fucking ride this out.
Ryan Sickler
I'm hurting myself so.
Kevin Clancy
Well, I have two teachers. You know what I mean? It don't matter. I'm fucking chilling. Let me get this a. Get my mom off my back. We had started, like, bumping heads and fucking. This bitch goes back to school night and came home and was like, it's you and all mentally challenged people in the math class.
Ryan Sickler
And I'm crushing.
Kevin Clancy
I'll fucking. I'm helping a teacher. I'm up there doing the work.
Guest or Additional Host
I'm leading by example, for Christ.
Kevin Clancy
It lasted for like two months.
Ryan Sickler
I don't want to record.
Stage Foley

You this story, but this is. This is a math story. This is actually a fucking very interesting, wild, deep story that gets stupid. But I, as I said, sucked at Math.
Kevin Clancy
I sold a 3.
Ryan Sickler
Math was mine, huh? So we had this quiz, and it was on a, you know, whatever, Intro to Calculus. And I failed it. And the teacher said you had to go get it signed by your parents. So I forged it and I turn it in. Well, my brother and I, being twins, were intentionally separated from classes. We were. We never had a class together except for one in all our 12 years of school.
Stage Foley
Did your dad pass at this point?
Ryan Sickler
Yep.
Stage Foley
So who would have signed it?
Ryan Sickler
Well, you know what? He wasn't.
Stage Foley
Okay?
Ryan Sickler
He wasn't. It's. But this ties into it. At that day, he said, we need to get it signed. Well, he also didn't know my mom wasn't with our family either. We just needed to show a parent that we up and have them acknowledge I signed it and I didn't tell anybody. My mom wasn't there to tell. My dad's, you know, working. This guy's doing doubles. He's a single dad with three kids busting his ass. I'm not gonna tell him I failed this. This pop.
Kevin Clancy
Got enough problems. Got enough problems need me making.
Ryan Sickler
Right? And I don't need to make this worse. So my brother and I never communicated about the trouble we would cause because we shared a car.
Kevin Clancy
I think I know where this.
Ryan Sickler
And if he up, I'm telling because I get the car on his weekend. So now I get the car three weeks in a row. If I up, he's ratting me out. And then he gets it. So we're ruthless with this. So we come to class. This is a Friday. I'll never forget it. Mr. Mangold was his name. And he said, sickler brothers. This is the only class we ever take together.
Guest or Additional Host
He goes, you guys have two different dads.
Kevin Clancy
I know.
Ryan Sickler
And right away, I look at my brother, I'm like, you piece of. This is mine. This was mine to fail. You had all the other ones. This was mine. This was mine.
Kevin Clancy
You took your bags.
Ryan Sickler
This was mine. He was good at this. He dogged it. This was mine.
Kevin Clancy
Damn.
Ryan Sickler
And I just look at him, and right away the whole class is laughing. He was a very nerdy teacher. He wore the pocket protector, the tie, button down, yellow brown pants, you know.
Kevin Clancy
That look, short sleeves, the Dwight Schrute.
Ryan Sickler
Glasses, hair sure fingered over. And he goes. We're like, no. He's like, did you guys show this to your dad? I'm like, yeah, I showed mine to my dad. He goes, you showed yours, too? My brother's like, yeah. He holds it up in front of everybody. He's like, you got two different signatures here. And he Goes, you definitely told your dad. And I'm like, we're laughing too. Like, told our dad, man. He goes, all right, well, tonight, this is another pizza place we loved called Pat Pabs, a local one. It's Friday night. He says, this is vivid as it comes. He says, and he was right. It's two for one pepperoni pizza tonight. Pap's like, yep. He goes, I'm gonna take the family there in my van with the kids. We're gonna pick those pizzas up. We'll swing by your house.
Kevin Clancy
Oh.
Ryan Sickler
See if your dad really knows you guys signed his papers. And we're like. And we're all laughing like, you ain't coming.
Guest or Additional Host
You ain't coming. You ain't coming.
Ryan Sickler
He's like, I'm coming.
Guest or Additional Host
I'm bringing the family to your house.
Ryan Sickler
I'm gonna get your address at the office. We're coming.
Guest or Additional Host
So we'll give you our address. Here it is.
Ryan Sickler
You ain't coming. Get home. That night is my night with the car. That weekend, that Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So I go out immediately. I'm hoping all. I got the car, I'm out, sticking around. 16 years old. I don't even remember it. I forget all about it. When I come back home that night, my dad, my brother are there. My dad's like, Mr. Mangold came by.
Guest or Additional Host
I'm like, bull. I'd forgotten. And my brother's just sitting there with his head like.
Ryan Sickler
I go, nah.
Guest or Additional Host
He goes, he did.
Ryan Sickler
And he knew you wouldn't believe it. So we took a photo. Now, back then, we gotta wait a.
Stage Foley
While for that photo.
Guest or Additional Host
I mean, we got 10 more on the roll.
Ryan Sickler
You know what I'm saying?
Guest or Additional Host
That might be two years before we burned out.
Ryan Sickler
We're not gonna go in and just get rid of.
Guest or Additional Host
Why are we wasting 10 shots talking.
Stage Foley
About the long game?
Guest or Additional Host
You see what I'm saying?
Ryan Sickler
So they take a photo, and then my dad dies, like, within days. Within days. And we. It's a big deal. At our school, we were very popular. Like, we played all the sports. There's two of us. So it was an excused absence. Anyone could come. It was very nice. It was very nice. And then when we go back to school and it's, you know, we took a. I don't know, a week or two off or something. We go back to school. I go to class, and Mr. Mangold pulls me aside. He's like, I gotta ask you, is that one of the last photos ever taken of your father? And I said, oh, my God, it's the Last photo ever taken of our dad. And I don't know what photo I would have had prior to that, but I still have that photo framed in my home of those two shaking fucking hands. And I. And I start thinking as a dad now, especially, like, if we're not twins, if. If we both don't fucking cheat, if we both don't forge. If we both don't shut all the way, we don't get that picture of our dad. Is that wild? That's wild. So to this day, I got my dad's picture framed. I cut Mr. Mangold out of one.
Guest or Additional Host
Of them, and I got him in the other one. I got him in the other one.
Kevin Clancy
That's great.
Ryan Sickler
In my home. That's awesome. It worked out pretty well for. I'm trying to unscrew a cap.
Kevin Clancy
Damn.
Stage Foley
That's fantastic.
Ryan Sickler
So sometimes it's all right to cheat kids. Sometimes it's ally.
Guest or Additional Host
You know what I'm saying?
Ryan Sickler
Sometimes it's all right to lie and cheat and tell your teachers.
Kevin Clancy
I remember we got called cheating in, like, chemistry in freshman year, College.
Ryan Sickler
What are you cheating? And how do you do in was.
Kevin Clancy
It was a lecture hall, like 500 kids. So I'm. I'm Ro. You know, 72, and we just have our books out and we're in college. Yeah.
Stage Foley
Took chemistry in college.
Kevin Clancy
You had to take like. Yeah. What are you, a doctor?
Guest or Additional Host

Guest or Additional Host

Ryan Sickler

Stage Foley
Pudding Pops are delicious.

She goes, guys, I see you with your books out. Put them away in a couple of minutes. And everybody was like, in a minute. She was doing what she knew nobody would. Knew what the fuck was going on. She goes, put them away in a couple of minutes.
Stage Foley
Giving you half an hour.
Kevin Clancy
Dude. It's all. Everybody's just flipping pages.
Ryan Sickler
My. My good friend to this day is my oldest friend. We met before kindergarten. This dude's name is Matt Schilling. He is the smartest guy I know. He ended up going to Princeton, playing tight end for them, like. And he was like, my friend. And one of us a up. And then he goes back to teach at our school. And I'm like, you see any of the old teachers? He's like, yep. I go, what's it feel like? I go, hey, are any of them Ivy League graduates? He goes, nope. I go, what's it feel like to be a, like one of us as a fuck up and go back and then be more accredited.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, yeah. Be the best one there people who.
Ryan Sickler
Ever taught us anything. He's like, it's pretty cool. So this dude's super smart, but also one of us.
Kevin Clancy
Sure.
Ryan Sickler
Around, you know, all of it. His Name's Matt Schilling.
Kevin Clancy
1, 2, 3.
Ryan Sickler
So I alphabetically am assigned often to sit. Sit right behind Matt Schilling. And this is my brother. And Matt Schilling would zip through those tests and Matt Schilling would do a little slide to the side. Ryan Sickler do a little lean. Ryan Sickler wasn't going to get a perfect. I was going to hit you about 82, 83. That's all I need. California Achievement Test.
Kevin Clancy
Did you guys have those Pennsylvania state assessments?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, they made us take California Achievement Test in Maryland.
Kevin Clancy
I thought I was going to say, what the.
Ryan Sickler
Behind Scantron. And he would just. Would just slide it like this over here. And I would. To this day I call him. I'm like, thank you so much for those pizzas and that cheaper insurance, bro.
Guest or Additional Host
You have no idea.
Stage Foley
I took an intro to hamburgers in college, literally.
Guest or Additional Host
No, you didn't.
Stage Foley
Yeah, it was like, that's a class. It was because I. The local McDonald's, I had this. I had to transfer into, from English to hotel and restaurant manager because I was failing English and I wouldn't have been eligible for football the following year. So I had to change my major and all those classes got wiped away. And one of the classes was an intro to McDonald's about Ray Kroc.
Ryan Sickler
Oh, I see.
Stage Foley
Yeah. Okay. Now I think that might have been.
Kevin Clancy
My sign called a hamburger crash.
Ryan Sickler
I actually, at my community college, we had one for McDowell's.
Guest or Additional Host
No, you didn't.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, the McDowell's. They got the Big Mac. We got the Big Mick.
Guest or Additional Host
They got the golden arches.
Ryan Sickler
They had the golden.
Stage Foley
I thought that was genius.
Guest or Additional Host
It was. I have a T shirt at home. It's McDowell's. It's the best. You know what? I'm really pissed off because I don't.
Ryan Sickler
Keep up with pop culture enough, but I know they do these pop up things. I've seen a Peach Pit. Yeah, they do what?
Kevin Clancy
They do Moe's.
Ryan Sickler
They did a McDowell's. They did a goddamn McDowell's in LA and I missed it. Where you could go in and get a Big Mick and all that.
Guest or Additional Host
God damn it.
Ryan Sickler
Oh, man.
Stage Foley
Damn it.
Guest or Additional Host
That's a good one.
Stage Foley
I love McDowell's.
Ryan Sickler
It was on Queens Boulevard, 8507 Queens Boulevard. That's the reason my friends and I all started saying seven like that. I got. My daughter says it like seven. Because he says 8507 Eric Queens Boulevard.
Stage Foley
Eric LaSalle was such a dick.
Guest or Additional Host
Yeah, he was great.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, everyone's in that thing. Louie Anderson, Samuel Jackson's in there. Eddie doing his characters. Arsenio, Eric lasalle.
Kevin Clancy
I think about there.
Ryan Sickler
So many.
Stage Foley
All right, let's get into some Q.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stage Foley
Some questions for Mr. Sickler. Not that we don't know.
Kevin Clancy
He's 100% well documented.
Stage Foley
Garbage with a hair on it.
Kevin Clancy
I got one for you. You're traveling. This is. This has been big in our world the past few weeks here. Do you eat at the airport? When you get to the airport, what's the standard?
Guest or Additional Host
I saw this clip. We have no idea what you're talking about. 100% mentally ill. What?
Stage Foley
Listen, you're staying at the airport.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah.
Guest or Additional Host
And you went to that restaurant over there, so.
Ryan Sickler
Yes, I do eat at the airport, but not like that. I. I time my. Like I'm gonna be there 30 minutes ahead of time.
Kevin Clancy
Gotcha.
Ryan Sickler
That's all I need. I got clear. I got TSA pre check.
Kevin Clancy
So you go ride 30 minutes before the flight.
Ryan Sickler
Before board, before boarding, not before the flight. Because that's about 30 minutes, boarding 25. So I get in, I get through security, I take my out. You know, I fly with weeds. I always give myself a little more time. Case I'm pulling jammed up, and then I take my piss, and then I go look for something to eat, but it's something.
Kevin Clancy
Is that like a bag of pistachio? Like, what are you doing?
Ryan Sickler
No, I'll go look for a sandwich or a wrap or. These days I'm just eating a lot of protein. So I will seriously buy a 15 sandwich and eat the turkey and cheese.
Stage Foley
And where are you eating that? Are you sitting down at the gate?
Ryan Sickler
If there's enough time. If there's like 20 minutes till boarding, I'll sit at the area. If there's space, if not, I go to the gate. Now, I got two things I do if I don't fly first class, and I only do that if it's responsible. But I. Since the back surgery, I just go up. And I don't lie. But what I say is I had back surgery. I don't say recently, I don't give a descriptor.
Kevin Clancy
And that you are a dirt bag. You're operating like you may have to testify in front of court like your Honor. I never say said when I factually.
Guest or Additional Host
Stated, everything's on camera these days, bro.
Stage Foley
I'm Ryan Sickler and I work for Pan American Airlines. I have my uniform right here.
Kevin Clancy
Three, six.
Guest or Additional Host
And he went under. That's when times got hard. When Pan Am went under, that's what times got hard in the sickler probably.
Ryan Sickler
But I go up and I just say, I'm super nice, always. Excuse me. I. I had back surgery and I'm traveling alone. And here's where I'm sitting today. Could I just get on with the pre board so I can just get my stuff up, respectable, out of everybody's way, and they say, yeah. And then I just go on. Because the other thing is all motherfuckers get on these days and take all the overhead bin space. And I'm not checking a bag. I don't check bags.
Stage Foley
I got weed in here.
Ryan Sickler
I haven't checked the bag in years. I checked one to go to Baltimore because I took camera equipment recently. I haven't checked the bag in years. I don't. I will sit on that. I'll have my daughter sit on it. And then we zip the. Out of that and then it's it.
Stage Foley
We check about five bags and we get in and we have a nice lunch.
Ryan Sickler
Do you travel with equipment?
Kevin Clancy
We travel with it. Yeah. We take like two. You know, there's six of us when we travel.
Ryan Sickler
Okay.
Kevin Clancy
He's got two big pelicans. Yeah, we're bad with money.
Guest or Additional Host
Where the are you eating at the airport?
Stage Foley
The Palm.
Kevin Clancy
The Palm. There's the Palm restaurant.
Stage Foley
Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
JFK is. If we're hitting that Palm. It's not even. It's not even debated. We know we're jfk.
Guest or Additional Host
What terminal?
Kevin Clancy
You see it? It's right there at the right.
Stage Foley
Ask for Andrea. I swear to God.
Guest or Additional Host
Give me the ayg discount. God damn it. No.
Kevin Clancy
Then if you're in laguardia.
Guest or Additional Host
Never gotten to an air airport to.
Ryan Sickler
Be like, yeah, I need to eat.
Kevin Clancy
We love that restaurant. We love it.
Ryan Sickler
Never.
Kevin Clancy
But the whole team knows we like an airport break.
Guest or Additional Host
Is it good, though?
Kevin Clancy
No, not really.
Guest or Additional Host
Just like the tradition.
Kevin Clancy
We just like, get in there, you hang it. It's not bad. Yeah, it's not for. It's. You get graded on a curve. But it's also like, you know, we're all. It's like we're all getting ready to go on the road for a week, whatever. So it's like the vibes are high. We all get there, whatever. Hey, I don't know. Make Fun of each other. Get away from our dumb wives or what?
Ryan Sickler
That's. I wondered if what you want to.
Guest or Additional Host
Get away from your home three hours. And then what happens when you're delayed? I'm delayed all the time.
Kevin Clancy
We've honestly never been. Get the out of here. Of all of our traveling. I think we got jammed. We just us. Yeah. Non stop once. We. We Delta Never. We've never been jammed up.
Ryan Sickler
I flew. Took me 24 hours to get to the Phoenix and back. One time I missed only weekend. Excuse me. I've ever missed in my career was that weekend too. And I couldn't. I was like, what are we doing? We're just stuck in Phoenix. Yeah.
Kevin Clancy
No, we. We've been very, very fortunate. But yeah. Okay.
Ryan Sickler
Can I tell you something else I'll do?
Stage Foley
Please.
Ryan Sickler
I'm not above it. I like a good cheese steak.
Kevin Clancy
Hey. From your mouth to God's ears.
Ryan Sickler
And I like. I do love warm food food. But I like a cold cheese stick. So do I. I love it. Purposely wrap it up in foil.
Kevin Clancy
Hits different.
Ryan Sickler
Put it in my fridge. Like harder to eat the next day.
Stage Foley
You put it in the fridge.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah. I love foil too. Not their white paper. Foil keeps it a little cooler.
Stage Foley
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
And I will absolutely take that cheesesteak and throw that in my backpack somewhere over Kansas. I'm busting that out and eating.
Kevin Clancy
Huh? Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
You're allowed to bring food from home.
Kevin Clancy
It ain't a stadium.
Guest or Additional Host
That's your legal stadium. You know.
Ryan Sickler
I mean I got a clear bag with my sandwiches. Yeah. I'll bust out cheesesteak. You know how good that feels?
Kevin Clancy
See, I would be.
Ryan Sickler
That's comfortable.
Stage Foley
Got on the plane first. Cheesesteak.
Guest or Additional Host
That's the other thing. I just set all my up and I'm ready to roll you in here.
Ryan Sickler
No problem. I'll get out. I'm by my set.
Stage Foley
Salt and pepper shaker and ketchup on it.
Ryan Sickler
And if it ain't packed, maybe my backpack's up there.
Kevin Clancy
I got caught.
Ryan Sickler
This guy, the guy said s made me throw it under my feet.
Guest or Additional Host
But whatever.
Kevin Clancy
That's fine. I respect such a third back.
Ryan Sickler
I know you've never like taken a slice of pizza from home or put it in your backpack for the.
Kevin Clancy
I have a rule. I can't put food through the X ray machine. That's like.
Guest or Additional Host
What's your rule on that?
Kevin Clancy
It's just weird to me, dude.
Stage Foley
I'm fat. I can't do that.
Guest or Additional Host
Your clothes are going through the. You're putting on.
Kevin Clancy
I know, but it's Just such a fat guy thing to me as is to be like, oh, that.
Ryan Sickler
They see it. Yeah.
Stage Foley
I can't pull an.
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, I thought you were working. Worried about it. Putting cancer in the food.
Kevin Clancy
I might. The I'm getting at the Palms. Going through security.
Stage Foley
It's all a radio.
Kevin Clancy
They gotta. They gotta do everything.
Stage Foley
I can't pull an old slice of pizza out of my CPAP bag. Chicks on the plane.
Ryan Sickler
You don't have your CPAP travel?
Stage Foley
No. What, a little baby one?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah.
Stage Foley
You have the little tiny one? My aunt has it.
Ryan Sickler
I fuck.
Kevin Clancy
Your aunt's got a CPAP machine?
Ryan Sickler
Piece of insurance won't cover the travel.
Guest or Additional Host
You gotta pay out of pocket.
Stage Foley
Hates everybody.
Ryan Sickler
$1,100.
Kevin Clancy
I know. Everybody's out. That's a dirty. Everybody's out there. That's true.
Guest or Additional Host
They're not out to get you.
Ryan Sickler
They just got their fucking scams. My Blue Shield Silver Insurance, which I talk about. My new special. Go watch it. Streaming now on my YouTube live. And live is they will cover a CPAP machine. If you use it 70% of the time, then it's covered and you're hooked up. You know, it's just connected to a little app. But the travel one, you don't need it. They won't pay for it. Won't pay for it.
Stage Foley
You know, you could just use that as your regular one.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, but then you have to. You don't have to take the travel one out and also got to go get distilled water if I want to put water in the fucking thing.
Stage Foley
So do you use the water every time?
Ryan Sickler
I do. My friend just stopped using it. We got. We're getting old, bro. We got competitions. I'll send them my 99s and 100 sleep scores.
Stage Foley
I stopped too. I kind of stopped.
Ryan Sickler
You did. It didn't fuck the machine up?
Kevin Clancy
No.
Stage Foley
Here. Here's the thing, though. I'm worried because the metal plate on the bottom still heats up.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah.
Stage Foley
So I think I'm breathing.
Guest or Additional Host
That's what I wondered, too. You should chat. GPT.
Stage Foley
I think I'm breathing hot metal.
Guest or Additional Host
How many humans have died just for that kind of shit?
Ryan Sickler
We're like, I had no idea. Just getting straight radium in my system.
Kevin Clancy
Huffing bore.
Guest or Additional Host
What?
Ryan Sickler
But the travel one doesn't need water. So why the. The big one? How does that. I don't know. That's what I'm saying. It seems like a scam.
Guest or Additional Host
So if I got.
Ryan Sickler
I got a bus, I need gas.
Guest or Additional Host
But I forget a Volkswagen Bug.
Stage Foley
No gas.
Ryan Sickler
Why? Why?
Kevin Clancy
You're asking the right questions, I'll give you that. I'm saying take this whole thing down.
Stage Foley
I wanted to ask you, just going back a little bit, did you ever have a rat tail?
Ryan Sickler
Oh, did I? Yeah, I had a rat tail. Mullets. I had a mullet galore too. They're online. I. We. My senior year, a bunch of us agreed to grow a mullet to see who could get the longest one. And like, halfway through, they all cut them. And I said, nah.
Kevin Clancy
Seeing us at the end, and it.
Ryan Sickler
Was this short up here, and, I mean, I could take my thumb back here and touch it just at my waist.
Kevin Clancy
Nice.
Ryan Sickler
And I would. I'm. I would take care of. Of it too. I would shower and I'd get out and I'd lay it all flat. I'd lay it on my back. I'd lay down and watch tv so it would get nice and flat. That was my flat iron. And I would take care of that thing. And then when we went to cut the mullet, I left a rat tail. You know, it's the stage. A little fun with it.
Stage Foley
You twist it. You'd braid it.
Ryan Sickler
I would let, like, girls braid it and stuff, but I know dudes were braiding.
Kevin Clancy
Tony, get over here.
Ryan Sickler
Nope.
Guest or Additional Host
I've never been hanging out a party where someone's like, sickler, let me braid your rat tail.
Ryan Sickler
The girls like, can I. Can I play with it? I'm like, yeah, you can play Nintendo.
Guest or Additional Host
French braid, girl.
Kevin Clancy
It's not back there, huh? Well, you. So we talked about the hotel and the pool. Will you swim at a pool? Like, if you're on the road and you're at, like a Marriott or it fucking days in, and they got the pool next to the lobby. Will you jump in there?
Ryan Sickler
Here's the thing.
Kevin Clancy
I love it.
Ryan Sickler
Yes. Yeah, I will do it. And I will also hot tub to an extent. I was a lifeguard, okay? I was a lifeguard. I got my certified. I was a certified lifeguard. I got my. Got my.
Stage Foley
I can't not think of you saying all these things to the person at the gate for some reason.
Guest or Additional Host
I was a lifeguard.
Ryan Sickler
This is what my daughter hears. I was a lifeguard, and I got my, you know, certification at the. Yeah. And then I went and got a job where I was just a lifeguard because I'm working Monday to Friday. Saturdays. I always work Saturday and Sunday. Is lifeguard at this place called the Forest Motel. It's in Baltimore off Route 40. And it was a vintage motel. They tried to, you know, make look hip and Chicago. And the pool was the shape of a tree. A pine tree, but not pointed cross.
Stage Foley
Sounds awesome.
Ryan Sickler
So this is my place, but at the time I'm there, it's 90. Whatever. One, two, three. It's not awesome. It's drugs. And it's just the maids are bringing their kids. I gotta lifeguard them at the pool. Like, it's.
Guest or Additional Host
So.
Kevin Clancy
That's rough.
Ryan Sickler
What I learned, though, you know they can't swim. They couldn't swim. What I learned is that I learned how to do PH and all that stuff. And then I started picking up a Buddy Shift when Bally's Total Fitness used to be called Holiday Spa, if y' all don't know. Cher. Cher was a spokesperson. Sup, Cher. And I was a lifeguard there. Now, when you have a gym and you have that many people using the hot tub, a lot of times you'll see foam on top. And then.
Stage Foley
Is that bad?
Ryan Sickler
When they. You become a lifeguard, they teach you what that is. And what that is is when hundreds, literally of people get in this hot tub, you know, a layer of just regular skin falls off. Well, that's what that is, collecting on top of the water. It's everyone's, you know, juice, whatever. Epidermis, flakes, psoriasis, whatever. The people.
Kevin Clancy
He don't kill that.
Stage Foley
I thought it was club soda.
Ryan Sickler
So they would give me a solution, and people would always say, there's a lot of bubbles. And you don't say anything. You just go over, you squirt this solution, and all it does is make it dissipate. Yeah, it ain't going any.
Kevin Clancy
No, it just pops the bubbles.
Ryan Sickler
So then they tell me, like, really, you should be draining that hot tub and scrubbing it clean quite often. And I was like, jim's don't. I don't know if I've ever seen my gym. So then I start going to hot tubs. And you'll see if you look in a hot tub, they'll be a green layer of what you think looks like algae. If I see that, you're out, we're not getting in at all, because that's all what that is. But I'm definitely swimming in.
Kevin Clancy
You're getting in a pool?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, man, look. When we went to Disneyland one time, my buddy and I took our daughters, and we had a great time at Disneyland. We go back to the pool, and they're jumping across the beds and they're having the best time. And we looked at each other like, next time, let's just rent a Hotel room.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
What are we doing? They don't give a fuck about, you know, the goddamn teacups. They're having the best time of their life and we're pushing them farther apart. And then our rule is once you.

All start crying, it's over and we know it's coming. We keep pushing them farther apart. And then one hits and they'll look at us with tears in their eyes because they don't want to cry.
Ryan Sickler
I was like, you keep going, keep going. So yeah, I'll definitely do that.
Kevin Clancy
Okay.
Ryan Sickler
I work out at the fitness rooms as well. I do that.
Kevin Clancy
You like an airport breakfast or a hotel breakfast or. No, you don't.
Ryan Sickler
I'm not a breakfast guy. Really? I never really. Yeah. Listen, if you're gonna go and make and sit there, then I'll get it. But as my day to day.
Stage Foley
Nah, no kidding.
Ryan Sickler
I usually eat sometime after noon.
Stage Foley
What about on the weekends? You and the. You and the kid, you make her as little scrambies or something?
Ryan Sickler
Some eggs she makes me. Now she's 11, she does, she makes killer eggs.
Stage Foley
Really?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, she made me a crab. Crab, Canadian bacon. I gave her all these ingredients and she made me a whole fucking omelet that was killed. Tell her that's my Sundays. She makes it. You know what I mean? I'm not gonna let her down. Plus it's good, I don't have to lie. But now my Monday to Friday, I would say I get up, drop my daughter off at school, I go for like an hour walk and then it's podcast and everything else and I won't eat till after that.
Stage Foley
He's a worker, man.
Ryan Sickler
I working, I'm hungry. But, but also here's the other thing. When I wake up, I also eat late. Late, I shouldn't. So when I wake up, rarely, I bet you five times a year I wake up and I go, man, I'm hungry right now. Usually I'm not hungry.
Stage Foley
Gotcha.
Ryan Sickler
You know?
Kevin Clancy
All right.
Ryan Sickler
And then it hits me around 11, but I push through with a bunch of Diet Coke.
Kevin Clancy
Me too.
Ryan Sickler
That's it? Yeah, that's it.
Kevin Clancy
That's shout out to a dc.
Stage Foley
You are one of one, my friend. I'll tell you.
Ryan Sickler
It's my breakfast. This morning at 8:30 when we were.
Kevin Clancy
I was, I called him.
Ryan Sickler
I thought I'm texting Kevin Clancy, he's texting me. I'm getting all my times.
Kevin Clancy
I got you at 10:30. I said 30. I called him just because I was like jumping around, he go, wait, who am I Talking to right now.
Stage Foley
Shout out to kfc.
Kevin Clancy
I just woke up. Let me. Who am I talking.
Guest or Additional Host
I was out front of the TWA.
Ryan Sickler
Hotel, sitting on a bench in the sun, having a joint and a Diet Coke for breakfast, waiting on my Uber to go an hour and a half for 12 miles. It's illegal here, you know, I live up the rules. I'm outside the airport, and it's also.
Kevin Clancy
It says the property. This ain't federal law.
Guest or Additional Host
I wasn't a property off the property. What your law says. I look them all up. Your law says that recreational cannabis is.
Ryan Sickler
Legal to smoke anywhere. Tobacco is legal to smoke. And that was the smoking section, where they say smoking is allowed here.
Guest or Additional Host
So I went over to the smoker section.
Ryan Sickler
I'm just cooler than that.
Stage Foley
I'd hate to pull you over.
Ryan Sickler
They're dying.
Guest or Additional Host
You'll still see me over there in my 70s.
Ryan Sickler
That rest of that smoker section's thinned out by that. You know what I'm saying?
Stage Foley
You ever have a radio in the shower?
Ryan Sickler
Not in the shower, no. I've had a speaker, maybe on the counter so I could hear it in the shower, but these days, so, you know, I. You know, I tell my daughter, like, we're new money. You know, we're new at this. I got a couple of bucks, but I'm not rich by any means, but I really love football. And I've got the TV in the living room. I've got one in my bedroom. And I put one in the bathroom.
Kevin Clancy
No way.
Ryan Sickler
I put one.
Kevin Clancy
Where's it at? In the bathroom.
Ryan Sickler
So it's exactly where you could see it from taking a shit.
Guest or Additional Host
Or the shower.
Ryan Sickler
That's where it is. It's. If I'm, like, up in the corner, if I'm sitting on my toilet right here. My shower's right here in front of me. It's a glass shower. TVs right here above the sinks. It could also be pulled out and maneuvered.
Kevin Clancy
Got that. You got the elbow on it.
Ryan Sickler
Of course I got an elbow. I want to see it from all angles.
Guest or Additional Host
So these days, I don't need the radio anymore.
Ryan Sickler
I will watch you got the goddamn.
Guest or Additional Host
And I'm. I'm wiping the fog. And I'm like, that's a score.
Ryan Sickler
Is that three two or eight two.
Stage Foley
You know, I'm not good with the numbers.
Ryan Sickler
Holy.
Guest or Additional Host
Yeah, so no.
Ryan Sickler
Okay.
Guest or Additional Host
These days, bro, for sure.
Ryan Sickler
I've got the Sunday ticket on in the toilet or the MLB package.
Stage Foley
That Sunday ticket is worth every.
Ryan Sickler
That's all I need.
Stage Foley
Yeah, it's worth every.
Ryan Sickler
Well, I used to go to the sports bars. I used to go to them. Well, I'm California since the 90s, so I would go to. There was a place called Bob's Classy Lady. It was a strip club, but right next to it, touching it like he owned both of them was a sports bar. And back then they had the early stream and no one gave a. About the Ravens, you know what I mean? They're. They're two years old when I get here. And they would give us the size of that guest cam.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
Up in that corner. And I would go sit there and I'd spend a hundred and some dollars happy if we won, $100,000,000 Bummed if we lost. And I was like, well, there's two weeks of 300 Sunday Ticket that. So now it's just a home experience.
Stage Foley
I was trying to think about this the other day and I didn't look it up, though. How quick did the Ravens hit when they. When they started?
Ryan Sickler
96. Came in 2000. Won the Super Bowl. Two.
Stage Foley
Yeah. Four years. Right. Who was the coach?
Ryan Sickler
The tall like Brian Billick won the first one. Trent Dill for quarterback. Right. But we.
Stage Foley
Ray Lewis was on that team.
Ryan Sickler
Yes, Ray Lewis. I mean that defense is the greatest defense in the history of football.
Stage Foley
Yeah, they kind of. They came in.
Ryan Sickler
They let up one touchdown in the entire playoffs once. 1. And it was a. It was the Titans. There was a touchdown. We were. No one's ever had a shutout in the super bowl, which blew me away. And we were right there and we let a kickoff return go. So it wasn't against the. It was against the special team. But we had legally.
Kevin Clancy
I know my rights.
Guest or Additional Host
I just want you to know. But I want to tell you this funny story.
Ryan Sickler
This is great because we had Tony Saragusa who shout out to the goose, rest in peace. All right.
Kevin Clancy
Everybody loved the gun.
Ryan Sickler
Last of his kind. You don't see much of these people anymore.
Stage Foley
And Sopranos too.
Kevin Clancy
What do you love twisted teas or something? Was he always drinking twisted teas?
Ryan Sickler
He drank something, yeah. He did home. He did man cave shows. He was fucking great. And he tells this funny story because that. That 30 for 30 came out about the 2000. 2000 Ravens defense. And we're in the AFC championship game, we're playing the Raiders, and he's accused of leaving his feet and driving all his weight on Rich Gannon. It hits his shoulder, shoulders up, he's out of the game. We end up beat. They scored three points and he. Rich Gannon goes on TV and is bitching about it, complaining that it was dirty or whatever. Tony Saragusa's wife says to Tony Saragusa, who. He later says this on the media. She goes, what is he complaining about? I take that weight twice a week.
Kevin Clancy
Shout out. The goose is loose.
Guest or Additional Host
So he said that on me. What are you complaining about? My wife takes that twice a week. And they were like, that's great, dude.
Kevin Clancy
Great. What a comeback.
Guest or Additional Host
That's what I'm saying. You don't hear guys like that anymore.
Ryan Sickler
The character's gone.
Stage Foley
I feel like.
Kevin Clancy
I mean, he was.
Ryan Sickler
Maybe they shut him up these days, too, but. But the character's gone.
Stage Foley
When you're in the bathroom and you're doing your business, do you leave the toilet paper on the roll or do you take it and hold it? Or are you.
Ryan Sickler
When I'm wiping.
Stage Foley
Yes.
Ryan Sickler
Or do I leave it on the counter regular early?
Stage Foley
You mean, do you leave it on the counter?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah, I got it on a roll.
Stage Foley
You got a roll?
Ryan Sickler
Yeah.
Stage Foley
So when you're. When you're doing your thing, do you take it off the roll and hold the roll?
Ryan Sickler
All right, here we go. I used to be paper. Toilet paper under. Because you can roll it easier, right? But now I'm. These days, I'm paper over. I don't know why I switched, but I just was like, let's.
Kevin Clancy
I go either way.
Ryan Sickler
I'm counting threes. Let's switch up our OCDs. You know what I'm saying?
Stage Foley
But you leave it on the roll. You don't take.
Ryan Sickler
Leave it on the roll. I go. And then. And then I take it off. What do you mean?
Kevin Clancy
No, he's saying, like, you know, a pulley system and a couple of mirrors.
Stage Foley
I was at Hamburger University.
Guest or Additional Host
What are you asking?
Kevin Clancy
No, he takes. So, like, his. I'm assuming, is on a hook where, like, it can. You can easily remove it.
Ryan Sickler
Oh, you're removing.
Kevin Clancy
So he removes the whole roll.
Ryan Sickler
No, no, no, no. I'm.
Stage Foley
Gentlemen, okay, I'm getting it.
Guest or Additional Host
But here's the other thing.
Kevin Clancy
New money.
Stage Foley
It's got a tv.
Guest or Additional Host
And here's the other thing.
Ryan Sickler
It's just a. It's just a. It's. It's not the old school little plastic piece that you had to push in. Yeah, that was rock solid. Solid.
Kevin Clancy
That's what I got. It's a lot of.
Ryan Sickler
We don't need to change. You get. I got this apartment. It got new. A dishwasher takes an hour and a half. I'm like, what the. It doesn't dry the dishes. Nothing wrong.
Kevin Clancy
Whirlpool kitchen ain't great company.
Stage Foley
So take that roller apart with the spring inside. I got. Putting a bomb together. I loved it.
Ryan Sickler
Oh, that's a good idea.
Stage Foley
Ours was broken.
Kevin Clancy
My whole. And we would do use. I remember the one time that spring went.
Stage Foley
You were.
Guest or Additional Host
He goes like, shoot the toilet.
Kevin Clancy
I was like.
Guest or Additional Host
I gotta reach in there and get that.
Kevin Clancy
My brother taped it with electrical tape, and he brought everybody in because I fix this. You know what I mean? Like, this is. It's done. And I mean, through college, through college, it stayed that way.
Guest or Additional Host
There are times you just couldn't get one.
Kevin Clancy
I feel.
Ryan Sickler
I get a little zesty and I. I rip it quick and it shoots off because it's just a. Just a little thing now. God damn it. And I gotta re. And then I gotta reel it in. But these days, also, I don't. I've. I've. I've taken my toilet to the next level.
Kevin Clancy
You went. So you got the smart guy. Oh.
Ryan Sickler
Got the full bidet, heated seat plugged in. All of it.
Kevin Clancy
Good for you.
Ryan Sickler
When there's two things I want to do when I go in my home.
Kevin Clancy
I feel like those are watching me.
Ryan Sickler
Anytime I eat, sleep, sleep comfortably, and do everything I need to do in that bathroom. Comfortably.
Kevin Clancy
Sure.
Stage Foley
Watching a whole football game.
Ryan Sickler
Listen, my daughter, I. I hate this reminder.
Kevin Clancy
But.
Ryan Sickler
But from the hospital, when they almost kill me. Watch my special lives, she made me keep the shower chair that I had to have when I first got out. I was like, I don't want to keep it. It's a reminder.
Kevin Clancy
I don't.
Ryan Sickler
Like, she's like, we're keeping it. So she keeps it in her shower. But every now and then I go get that.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Ryan Sickler
And I sit it under my rain shower, and I just sit there and I just watch football.
Stage Foley
Oh, my God.
Kevin Clancy
Say it.
Ryan Sickler
I will. I'm a homebody, dude.
Guest or Additional Host
I don't want to be anywhere.
Kevin Clancy
I want to leave the bathroom if I. I don't.
Ryan Sickler
I don't hang out at the clubs unless I have a spot. I'm not at the clubs. I don't enjoy going to bars or any of that anymore. I feel like our lives.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah. We're out moving enough.
Ryan Sickler
We're out there among those people that I. You know. And yes, we're the center of attention that night. But I'm around the people drinking and smoking and laughing and have a good time. I don't feel like when I get home, I need to go do more of that. I really Enjoy.
Stage Foley
You want to sit in the shower.
Ryan Sickler
In the hospital podcast? I want to sit in a hot, hot shower in a hospital chair there.
Guest or Additional Host
If I smoke weed in there, I'd figure it out, but they haven't made that yet.
Kevin Clancy
Speaking of the van, I just heard.
Guest or Additional Host
You say I had my bathing suit on.
Kevin Clancy
Basketball shorts. If you're at a public restroom, you're at the urinal. Will you put your hand on the wall? Are you like that kind of guy?
Guest or Additional Host
It depends.
Ryan Sickler
I mean, I'm not above that for sure. I will absolutely do that if it's. It's depending on the place. Also, how long I gotta piss? If I'm pissing, I'm going. You know what I mean? I put my hand on the wall. Here's one, here's one for you. Saw this yesterday at the airport. Grown ass man with gray hair, pants all the way down to his knees.
Kevin Clancy
I just saw that on the way back from Boston.
Ryan Sickler
What are we doing?
Kevin Clancy
A Chinese guy ass out.
Ryan Sickler
And I'm crazy. What are you doing, dude? One time, my buddy, Eric Snyder. This is terrible and funny. We're at the Ravens game. We're, you know, he's paranoid. He's a big dude. He's. We're in that cattle call, just moving through the crowd. Oh, my God, oh my God. And he just looks at me and.
Guest or Additional Host
He goes, oh, my God, I'm standing on a child. And the crowd parts. And I look at him, he's like, come on. I said, get the up.
Kevin Clancy
I respect that.
Guest or Additional Host
I'm standing on a child, he said. And it parted.
Ryan Sickler
And then he proceeds to get shit faced. And we go to the bathroom and on purpose, he drops them to his ankles. His ankles. You know, it's six people deep behind.
Guest or Additional Host
Every one of those, they are laughing there.
Kevin Clancy
There's nothing funnier.
Ryan Sickler
And he's not even breaking. And I'm like this. But this real dude did it. You know what I mean?
Guest or Additional Host
He was doing it.
Ryan Sickler
I'm like, what? What are we doing, bro?
Kevin Clancy
There's a great line from Jackass. The guy pulls, drops. He's at a bar, he drops his pants to his ankles, looks at the guy next goes, can't get any chicks out here. It's like, I was like 11 when I saw the funniest thing I. Nothing's going to be funnier than that ever.
Stage Foley
You get somebody else's mail at your house, you throw it out. Do you agree, strongly agree, disagree or strongly disagree?
Ryan Sickler
This is a tough one for me because something happened to me. So 100%. I'm throwing your mail away. I mean, I'm not even returning you to sender. I'm not even telling the mailman if I know. I'm like, you don't live here anymore. It's just trash. Yeah, but something happened to me that should change my view. But it hasn't. But it should have. I used to live at this old apartment. I'm gonna say it was, like, three addresses prior when I get this phone call or, excuse me, an email, and it's a lady that says, I live in your old apartment. You were a quick Google search, Church. I've got a check here for you for $2,500 from an insurance company overpayment.
Stage Foley
Whoa.
Ryan Sickler
And it says, you have 30 days to cash it or you don't get it. And she left her number. So I called her. That's a great lady. Right away. And I said, ma', am, first of all, thank you so much. I said, second of all, these motherfuckers haven't had one problem sending me my bills.
Kevin Clancy
You haven't get my bills.
Ryan Sickler
My bills are going to my current address. Why is this payment going to two addresses?
Stage Foley
He's got to get into it with her.
Kevin Clancy
Sounds fishy. I got to be honest.
Ryan Sickler
I'm not getting into it with. I'm just asking, like, it. And I go, how long have you had it? And she's like, a few days. And I'm like, okay, when's it say I need to cash? And she says, you know, whatever. And I go, listen to me. I can't thank you enough. This is found money. I'd like to split it with you.
Kevin Clancy
Whoa.
Ryan Sickler
And she's like, no. And I go, I'm not taking no for an answer. If you don't want it, I'm happy to donate to a charity of your choice, but this is money that I would have never had. I wouldn't even had any of it if it's not for you. Like, yeah, tracking if Ryan Sickler lived.
Guest or Additional Host
There, he threw your check out.
Ryan Sickler
I didn't even open it. And look at it. This lady looked at it. She said, I thought it was for me, an insurance thing. And I was like, you really know? She's like, what's your address? This lady straight up mailed it to me. I let her know when I got it. Like, she was so kind. That's awesome. She said, the fact that you wanted to offer me money or even give it to a charity is more than enough to. For me. I'm good. You just take care.
Kevin Clancy
That's amazing.
Ryan Sickler
I was like, thank you so much.
Kevin Clancy
Good guy.
Stage Foley
He's a good guy, man.
Kevin Clancy
Good guy.
Ryan Sickler
But also the insurance. That's a scam. That is a scam. That is a scam.
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, we sent it to you. Oh, yeah?
Ryan Sickler
Where?
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, to one of your Maryland addresses. Oh, you mean from the 90s. Oh, thanks.
Kevin Clancy
Have you ever taken a picture in front of a car that wasn't yours? Oh, no.
Ryan Sickler
Well, that one wasn't mine. Okay, so let's talk about this. Yeah, technically. You mean like as a flex.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah, just like, oh, here's a nice Lamborghini. Not even flexed in that it's yours. Just like. No, I might never seen a car this nice.
Ryan Sickler
I've taken pictures of nice cars before, but not me in it.
Kevin Clancy
Okay.
Ryan Sickler
You know, what were you.
Kevin Clancy
What was the planning to do with that, with that picture?
Ryan Sickler
I went to a car show and just took some that I liked or had my daughter get in front of and then I frame them around the house.
Stage Foley
That's cool.
Ryan Sickler
Cute. I got like a little tile thing going in the house that we can remove them as we update and.
Kevin Clancy
Very nice.
Stage Foley
I like that.
Ryan Sickler
So this picture right here. So I'm going to tell you about this. So this is my 1990 Honda Civic with original rims. I grew up working in a junkyard. I think I've told you guys I bought this car for my friend Shannon's dad. Had 10,744 miles on it at the time. It's 1991 when I'm buying it. But it's a 90 owned by a Japanese dude whose daughter wrecked it. And I mean, I'm saying Japanese, his name was on the thing and he sold it to us because the you hit the front once you with the motor never runs right. But I didn't need a perfect car. So his dad got this fixed up and gave it to me. And I drove this literally to the wheels fell off 300,000 miles up to Maine, down to New Orleans, across the back, three times across the country, through the Rocky Mountains, through the snows, never get stuck. It's a badass little lawnmower. It's a four speed. And I moved to California. And when I'm living at this dump in North Hollywood, I have these. And you may know these. I didn't know I wasn't this trashy I got there. But it's their glass windows and they're slack and you crank it with a handle and they go up like this and they're floor to ceiling and they're just Glass slats. You know what I'm talking about. Your house for my apartment. There's no screen on them or anything. And you crank these glass windows and they just slowly come out like car windows of them.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Ryan Sickler
Almost like vertical or horizontal blinds.
Stage Foley
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Like a shorehouse would have some kind of. Great.
Guest or Additional Host
Yes.
Kevin Clancy
Yeah.
Stage Foley
One of those breaks your.
Ryan Sickler
So I live in this North Hollywood apartment. No ac, the thing freezes over because it's a wall unit. So I've got the windows open. It's 100 and something degrees. And I'm in the shower. And every time I get out, I see these cats running through my apartment. I'm like, what the.
Kevin Clancy
In the apartment.
Ryan Sickler
In my apartment. So I end up finding the lady in our building. Now, the building was very much just like Melrose Place, if you remember that. It was a pool in the center and it's a two story and every bodies around that. And I find the lady and I can smell her apartment before I get to it. And I just knock on her door. I'm like, hey, please keep your cats out of my apartment. And she doesn't say anything. Like, just keep Matt. They keep. Every day I come home like there's a different cat in my apartment. So I'm sitting there and I keep my front door open because I'm trash. And she's. She was there. I did. It's so hot. Hot, dude, she's walking by every day. Every day she comes, One day it's a chinchilla, one day it's a iguana, one day it's a this. And one day she comes by with a snake around her neck. And I'm like, lady, what the do you do? And she's drunk. She's a drunk, hardcore alcoholic. And she's. I've tell this. She's like parties, she's hiccuping and everything. She goes, I'm Hugh Hefner's number two zookeeper. And I said. Said, bullshit. And she goes, I am. I go, you are not Hugh Hefner's number two zookeeper.
Kevin Clancy
How many zookeepers this guy got, by the way?
Ryan Sickler
Also, we'll get to that. I go, no, you're not. She goes, yes, I am. I can prove it. And I go, how? She goes, I'll give you a tour. I go, bullshit. She goes, I will. When do you want to go? I said tomorrow. She goes, here's the address. Pull up here. I was like, if you're bullshitting me, like, lady, we're gonna have problems because I'm your neighbor. She's like, bring your camera.
Stage Foley
What were you gonna do to her?
Ryan Sickler
Okay, I'm gonna with that little chinchilla or something, you know? I mean, little. Little chinchilla hostage over there.
Guest or Additional Host
You know what I'm saying?
Ryan Sickler
Like, I don't know where it's at. I take care of it. I don't know where it's at. I take care store it. So I pull up to the Playboy Mansion, the. The like workers entrance. And she tells me to hit. I hit the key pass. Hey, it's Ryan Sickler. I'm here. I'm not going to say her name. We'll call her Diane. I'm here for Diane. Number two zookeeper. And that gate ain't going anywhere.
Kevin Clancy
It's also like I. I put it.
Ryan Sickler
In reverse and that gate starts opening. Get the out of here right now. And I pull this Honda Civic right in front of Hugh.
Stage Foley
Oh, that is bro.
Ryan Sickler
Listen, you don't get the jerk. You. You. I've been to the Playboy Mansion again another time for a party. And you take shuttles from the Mondrian over. You don't drive to Hugh Hefner's house and pulling them up. And she's let me pull in the driveway. So I pull this in there and she goes. She said. And. And I cut her out. She's actually right here in the picture.
Kevin Clancy
I have cutting people out of. Out of amazing people.
Guest or Additional Host
I didn't put her back in this one.
Ryan Sickler
And she's like, take a picture. You don't get to park in the driveway at the Playboy Mansion. So boom, I take a picture. No, that's the Honda Civic at the Playboy Mansion right there, y'. All. So I made a hoodie out of it.
Kevin Clancy
That's amazing.
Ryan Sickler
And so then she takes me on a tour. She's his number two zookeeper. And I start laughing because I'm like, this probably said she was Hugh Hefner's zookeeper. Number one. Said, hey, you're number two.
Guest or Additional Host
Like, why would you ever say number two?
Ryan Sickler
It has been beat into her head like, you're so they got a whole reptilian place in there I didn't know about. They've got peacocks, albino peacocks. I'm going in the grotto. They've got a monkey cage. And I've got a video prop VHSC somewhere.
Guest or Additional Host
Remember VHSCs?
Stage Foley
Sure.
Ryan Sickler
Of me in the cage. And she's like, go in there. And I'm like, I'm not. I'm not the animal guy. Like, I've Told this before. Like my. I've seen my brother like, take his kids a gator world. And they're all on gators backs. And with the. And I'm like, the whole line's white people. Not even a tan in the line. It's all white people. And I'm like, I don't want to get in there. And she's like, get in there. And she gives me these little green grapes. And I stand in there and I'm telling you, like 50 of these descend on me.
Kevin Clancy
Oh.
Ryan Sickler
Just made my head run all over me. And it's creepy because they have little tiny hands, paws, but it's like a flesh pad on it.
Kevin Clancy
And they're touching.
Ryan Sickler
It just feels like this little flesh thing, you know, like Jesus Christ. And then she takes me through like the game room. In this room. Like they had a. I don't know, it was a floor or something was like this thick padding you walk on. And she's just showing me, can't go upstairs. Just like Graceland. Can't go up there. Can't go up there. But I'm getting all downstairs in the entire property. And this lady legitimately was.
Kevin Clancy
That's crazy.
Ryan Sickler
So she worked for him during the day and kept it together. And then came home and got lit with all his ass.
Kevin Clancy
It's a lot of pressure. Number I'm like, Hugh, you know, she's got the chill out North Hollywood, you.
Guest or Additional Host
Know, bringing it up. She's taking her work home. You.
Kevin Clancy
Oh, man, what a Jesus Christ. I mean, that's crazy.
Guest or Additional Host
This. I have this picture that's amazing.
Ryan Sickler
And in this is the car I drove to start all this. This is the reason I'm here on your show. And I framed it so when you walk into my place, the first picture on the left when you walk in is this, this. And my daughter's like, why? I said, because that's where it all started. And that's what got us here.
Kevin Clancy
Wrote that till the wheels fell off.
Ryan Sickler
It's also up at the Honeydew studio too. I got one in there too.
Stage Foley
You got it 10,000 miles.
Ryan Sickler
300,744 miles.
Stage Foley
You put 300,000 on it.
Ryan Sickler
Probably a little over it. You know what killed it? It would have kept going. This is funny. You'll like this. Because I do like me some conspiracies. But the canyons killed that thing up and down. Driving those canyons killed that little motor. But I ended up seeing selling it. And this dude wanted to like trick it out, I guess, you know, a Little Civic for race car thing or whatever. And so he comes over and he buys it from me. And I. I, like, I'm. I'm. I kept the original key. I'm petting it goodbye. Like, I'm having an emotional moment with this car, but he's coming to get it now, so I don't even really get to say goodbye.
Kevin Clancy
He don't care.
Ryan Sickler
And this guy takes it. I'm not bullshitting you guys. Two weeks later, I'm driving with a friend of mine, and we see it sitting on the side of the road. Road. And it's cleaned up. It's got plastic hubs. Remember when you had the plastic on it? It's all cleaned up, and it's got a for sale sign on it. I said, let's call this. See what he's asking for it. I know the history of this car. Let's see if it's ever had any accidents or anything, because it has trust. Call the guy. And we're like, what are you asking for? And he's like, it's way too much money. We're like, how many miles? On it lies about the miles. Any. Any incidents? Accident, accents? Nope. Clean record everything. I was like, huh? He's. Why are you asking so many questions? Because I asked a. Like, all of them. I'm telling myself, my cassettes in there. You got my Orioles cooler in the back. I used to keep my cassettes and a little vinyl Orioles cooler in the back. And I said, well, I'm buying it for my son, and it's his first car. I just want to make sure everything's raised. Like, oh, okay, okay. And it's. I saw it sit on the road for a while, so it kept going.
Kevin Clancy
So that's crazy to me. Yeah, that's amazing. I mean, what a perfect way to put a button on it. God damn. An emotional. An emotional story about a 1990 Civic.
Stage Foley
You are proper crazy.
Guest or Additional Host
When I walked in, if I had.
Ryan Sickler
100 million, what car would I buy? And I said, probably an F1.
Kevin Clancy
Probably. F150.
Ryan Sickler
Probably would.
Guest or Additional Host
Probably. But I'd get a couple four wheelers and.
Ryan Sickler
Yeah.

This episode of Are You Garbage? dives into classic dirtbag antics, blue-collar nostalgia, and comedic scams with returning favorite Ryan Sickler. The hosts and their guest explore personal histories of pizza hustles, family memories, questionable travel habits, and “garbage” antics from their upbringings. Ryan gets candid and hilarious about growing up with little money, hustling for free pizza, forging signatures, dealing with heartbreak, and climbing the comedy mountain—all while being proudly, undeniably garbage.
The episode opens with a spirited discussion about airport hotels, specifically the TWA Hotel at JFK, with Sickler recounting his affinity for its gym and infinity pool.
The crew riff on the “classiness” of the TWA and the low-level scams and mix-ups at airport food courts.
On Garbage Mentality:
“We get excited to move. I'm like, guess what we're getting for the next two weeks? Free pizza.” – Ryan Sickler [11:41]
“Sometimes it's all right to cheat kids. Sometimes it's ally.” – Ryan Sickler [25:58]
On Last Family Photo:
“If we both don't forge ... we don't get that picture of our dad. Is that wild?” – Ryan Sickler [25:36]
On Being Blue Collar:
“He's a blue-collar guy. I'm like, it's just a shirt.” — Ryan Sickler [08:09]
On Cold Cheesesteaks:
“I do love warm food, but I like a cold cheesesteak. ... I'll bust that out and eat it.” — Ryan Sickler [34:51]
On Hotel Pools:
“I was a lifeguard. ...I’ll definitely do that [swim in a hotel pool].” — Ryan Sickler [39:37–43:11]
On Bathroom Luxuries:
“I got the full bidet, heated seat plugged in. All of it.” – Ryan Sickler [51:59]
“I sit it under my rain shower, and I just watch football.” – Ryan Sickler [52:39]
Playboy Mansion Story:
“You don't get to park in the driveway at the Playboy Mansion. So boom, I take a picture. ... That's the Honda Civic at the Playboy Mansion right there, y’all.” – Ryan Sickler [63:01]
“That’s where it all started. And that’s what got us here.” – Ryan Sickler, on his Honda Civic photo [65:26]
The tone is consistently loose, self-deprecating, and hilarious, bouncing from confessional childhood stories to “garbage” life hacks. Ryan Sickler, the hosts, and their shared background create a sense of warmth—celebrating the scrappy, hustling, always-scheming spirit of working-class kids making the most of every opportunity. Listeners are treated to both belly laughs and genuine moments of heart, all held together by relentless riffing and a mutual joy in all things “trash.”
In short:
If you’ve ever called in a fake hair to score free pizza, or if the high point of your day is a cold cheesesteak on a cross-country flight, or even if you've had your life’s journey defined by a beat-up Civic and a chance encounter with the world’s weirdest neighbor—this is your episode.
Don't miss:
Closing words:
“That’s where it all started. And that’s what got us here.” – Ryan Sickler [65:26]
