Kevin Ryan
But we. Yes. And patreon.com are you garbage. Close it on 16,000 over there, baby.
Ed Trolley
The army of garbage truly is.
Kevin Ryan
And honestly that's what this whole episode is. You may know, you may not know. We. We alluded to in a family episode we talked about on the Patreon. We sent some emails, stuff like that. Been a little. A little low under the radar. A little bit of. We had the idea of kind of talking, you know, of interacting with small business owners who are fans of the podcast.
Ed Trolley
Yes, we did and had that idea. It came from you and I.
Kevin Ryan
Sure, totally.
Ed Trolley
And Pat's image of hairstyling.
Kevin Ryan
We. It came. The idea came about one from a listener who dm. But it also stemmed from I needed help with my shitty above ground pool. I put a story up and it got flooded with blue collar guys. People go, I own this. I'm a this. I own my own pool company. I did this for years. My family owns this.
Ed Trolley
Homies and bozos were activated just like when we got the carpet done here at Tuddy's.
Kevin Ryan
Yes, very much so.
Ed Trolley
The boys showed up from Long Island.
Kevin Ryan
Uh, so there's. So that kind of was just like, oh shit. And someone said it's a real community. A fan wrote and he goes, hey, I forget the example, but he's like if there was a tile company in my. In St. Louis, I would use him knowing he's a homie or a bozo over some other Joe percent. So I was like, oh, that's really network. Then we mentioned it and then people started writing like, oh we'll give 10% off if a fucking whatever. If they mentioned the pod or something. So I. We're trying to unite this fucking. It's. It's very Fight Club. We. We. What is it?
Ed Trolley
We.
Kevin Ryan
We wash your dishes. We fix your cars. We. It's a fucking loan.
Ed Trolley
Your money. Loan sharks. Any loan sharks out there, just, you know, keep them in the thing.

Kevin Ryan
Don't put me on. Small.
Ed Trolley
Small finder's fee.
Kevin Ryan
Taking out business loans in my name. You'll probably be doing. I thought that was going to be the Toad. He took out a SBA loan.
Ed Trolley
No.
Kevin Ryan
No. Okay. Rolling with that scenario.
Ed Trolley
I went with Pat's image of hairstyle.
Kevin Ryan
I wasn't saying it was bad. I was.
Ed Trolley
It's real. Okay. Cody taking an SBA loan. That's fictitious comedy. I like to be rooted in reality,
Kevin Ryan
but as opposed to someone else. I know. Who took out a SBA loan.
Ed Trolley
I didn't know. Did you? An SBA loan?
Luke
Huge.
Ed Trolley
No shit.
Luke
Yeah.
Ed Trolley
What pandemic Buying your equity.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. He's making. He's making a short squeeze on you. He shorted this podcast, but I didn't. That's why if we go. If we end up higher in the charts, we're gonna screw him. It's like that.
Ed Trolley
Oh, you're like. You're like the owner in Major League. The hot old lady. Hot middle aged lady. I loved her back then. She was also in secret to my success. That's a great movie.
Kevin Ryan
I don't think I've ever seen it.
Ed Trolley
No. Kid. Michael J. Fox vehicle. Very.

Ed Trolley
First of all, I miss a Parkinson's crusader.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, yeah. Because I'm a big fan of that. What do you. I'm a big fan of Parkinson's Crusade. Not to say you're, like, doing great. I like Spin City.
Ed Trolley
Yeah. Wasn't Charlie Sheen on that too?
Kevin Ryan
He replaced him after he got the ticks.
Ed Trolley
That's a real tough.
Kevin Ryan
And Heather Locklear. And they were dating at some point. Oh, man.
Ed Trolley
Boy, love that. Charlie Sheen.
Luke
1985 for Back to the Future. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
By the time I saw that you
Ed Trolley
were born in 86.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. So by the time I would come across my desk, that stuff had eight. I just was like, I'm sitting there. Not saying it was trash, but I would also say the technology changed a bit. So that was like. I guess it was like dated. Like, visually it was dated. I'm like, this is like.
Ed Trolley
Like the first couple episodes of Cheers sure look really bad. They look really bad.
Kevin Ryan
But it was also. I wasn't. My. My dad wasn't introducing me. Like, here's a little guy on a flying skateboard. That's not the kind of shit we were into as a family unit.
Ed Trolley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
You know what I mean.
Luke
He was the hero to your dad.
Ed Trolley
Yes.
Kevin Ryan
We. We used to watch Home Alone and only watch the buzz parts.
Ed Trolley
You know, attacking his own car and leaving.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. All right. Someone's hurt.
Ed Trolley
I'm not hurt.
Kevin Ryan
Due to previous conversation before the podcast.
Ed Trolley
What are you talking.
Kevin Ryan
You know what I'm talking about.
Ed Trolley
I don't appreciate it. Of course I appreciate. I love you.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Thanks. Oh, man. Seven different kinds of smoke today.
Ed Trolley
That's crazy.
Luke

Ed Trolley
Pin this on me. Pimm. What on you?
Kevin Ryan
I don't know, dude. There's always. It's always good versus evil with you.
Ed Trolley
I like Back to the Future and I like Michael.
Kevin Ryan
I'm not. I'm sure it's great. I just saying I. A lot of that stuff I'm. That you really resonated with. You.
Ed Trolley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
I watched it in fucking, you know, 96. At that point I got fucking better shit going on. And some guy trying to fuck his mom.
Ed Trolley
The kid watching Bluey these days? Kids are big on Bluey.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Nah, he's not really watching Bingo and Bluey. You don't love that.
Ed Trolley
You don't love the tube sisters, I think. Do you know this?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. So they're dogs.
Ed Trolley
Are they dogs? I don't know what they.
Kevin Ryan
Bluey's a dog.
Ed Trolley
Bluey's a dog. Learn a lot.
Kevin Ryan
But anywho, back to the program at hand.
Ed Trolley
Stock business. Small business. There we go.
Kevin Ryan
We are a small business.
Ed Trolley
We are.
Kevin Ryan
Can you define what a small business is? I think if I remember from.
Ed Trolley
We already did. It's less than 100 employees.
Kevin Ryan
50.
Ed Trolley
50.
Kevin Ryan
I think it's less than 50. I could be honest. I could be wrong. That was. That's what I remember from a hundred years ago. I've been saying that. A lot.
Luke
Fewer than 500 employees.
Kevin Ryan
What?
Ed Trolley
Jesus.
Kevin Ryan
That's every fucking business.
Ed Trolley
400 employees is a lot. That's a lot of sharks.
Luke
Micro Enterprises have 10 or fewer.
Kevin Ryan
We are micro enterprise. That's a good penis. It ain't macro data. It ain't micro.
Ed Trolley
A micro. I have a little micro enterprise.
Kevin Ryan
In your underwear. That's what we call a little out here. Holy shit.
Ed Trolley
I like that.
Kevin Ryan
Give me more on Micro enterprise.
Luke
Requires less than 50,000 in startup capital.
Ed Trolley
Perfect.
Kevin Ryan
Way less than that.
Luke
Focus on serving local communities or niche markets.
Kevin Ryan
Let's go.
Ed Trolley
Okay.
Luke
Frequently launched using micro loans rather than traditional bank financing.
Ed Trolley
We did take a micro loan.
Kevin Ryan
I took a loan from my wife.
Ed Trolley
Yes. Which I paid back.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. Guilty conscience. When it comes to money, like most Small business owners, of course.
Ed Trolley
Wayne, over the head. We're not a small business. We're a micro enterprise.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I think all micro enterprise by definition are small businesses.
Ed Trolley
Hi folks. I'm H. Foley of Tuddy llc. We're not a small business. We're a micro enterprise. And we want to help you build your business today.
Kevin Ryan
So if you get your checkbook out and make that payable to H. Foley
Ed Trolley
or Pat's image of Hairstyle, which is
Kevin Ryan
a shell company I started with my mother in bluebell.
Ed Trolley
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
I come listen. And so I mean we have. We've had hundreds of submissions at this point, which I thought we were gonna get 40, 50, something like that.
Ed Trolley
Everybody's out there hustling.
Kevin Ryan
We didn't even really do a. Like, we didn't post it on social media or anything. We made a comment. I think we sent an email out. That's about it. Real like under the. Under, like low profile a little bit, just to see what it was. And I mean I haven't even been able to get through all of them, which we will. But I came up, I. I think about this a lot. I came up living in a. The operations of a small business. I think that's why it comes very natural to.
Luke
Mm.
Kevin Ryan
You know, as complicated as it may be, running business with friends and family, it's like that's all I. I was. That's all I know.
Ed Trolley
I was always an employee of a small business. My father was an employee.
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh.
Ed Trolley
Actually my dad did start, I think he had a little offshoot of his own little insurance business.
Kevin Ryan
What are you laughing at?
Ed Trolley
What the fuck? What? Started his own navy.
Luke
It's like losers. My father was an employee.
Kevin Ryan
Just a long. A long line of schlubs.
Ed Trolley
What's wrong with that?
Luke
My grandfather was in debt.
Kevin Ryan
He was in debt as prison. First man executed for not having enough money and got caught stealing oats from the local farm.
Pat
Sweet.
Kevin Ryan
That's your whole.
Ed Trolley
It was barley. Yeah. But you're close.
Kevin Ryan
Whose family did I call all horse thieves? Horse thieves.
Ed Trolley
I can't remember.
Kevin Ryan
Cassidy.
Ed Trolley
Maybe something. Yeah, because they changed their name. It was somebody who changed their name.
Kevin Ryan
Horse thieves.
Ed Trolley
He had a little small business for a little while. I think a lot of that was just to write off a piece of that house. You know how he did it? That was big in the early 2000s.
Kevin Ryan
You do it.
Ed Trolley
Do I?
Kevin Ryan
I mean, the accountant does it for you.
Ed Trolley
Huh?
Kevin Ryan
I live in the White House. Right. Right now. $7 million a month,
Ed Trolley
considering I no longer have a home.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, Wish you well.
Ed Trolley
Love you, buddy.
Kevin Ryan
So it's just. And then people write. It wrote in, you know, I didn't think they were going to share as much of their story as they did, which made it even a billion love it. And it really. I was talking to my wife about. I go, it's really reminded me how awesome the. The homies and the bozos are because, like, they took this, like, idea we had and then like even gave us more on their life and their background and stuff like that. And it reminds me of the early days of the show where we used to go. They just get it. Like, they just know how to. When they learned how to get a question, you go, that's fucking. I couldn't write that myself. It was that good.
Ed Trolley
Have you or any member of your family.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, that kind of one of those. But it's like now that's such. So, such part of the lexicon that we don't even really think about it. But seeing this stuff.
Ed Trolley
Lexicon, yeah, like that. I like zeitgeist too. I also like micro enterprise and micro dosing. I did for a little bit.
Kevin Ryan
I remember. I think you were at a pretty good stage at that point.
Ed Trolley
When I was microdosing shrooms.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. I mean, that's. Yeah.
Ed Trolley
But then I just started taking a bunch of them.
Kevin Ryan
I remember. Yeah. And I was there. Oh, yeah. I remember, man.
Ed Trolley
That's why clean sober now there's just coffee and there's coffee in it. Bang. This is straight.
Kevin Ryan
That's how. That's how. That's how much of this is dmt. And I mean that in a good way. How much of a liar you are. You have to convince people there's liquid in your cup. Cause you'll fake drink.
Ed Trolley
I'm getting accused of fake drink. I never fake drink in my life.
Kevin Ryan
I know, but I can. Nobody lives a life where they get accused. You've just lied so much and people go, I don't even think there's liquid in that cup. No one's ever said that about me ever. That's crazy.
Ed Trolley
I'm gonna start doing that at parties.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, watch it. Almost got you there. Fake spill. Oh, watch it.
Ed Trolley
Like a Turkish waiter when they do that stuff. Then they flip that big pan with the rice.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, I don't get that.
Ed Trolley
I don't get that either.
Kevin Ryan
You ever see that buddy get his spoon.
Ed Trolley
You ever see when they got nothing on.
Kevin Ryan
He's got rice peel off on the brain.
Ed Trolley
You ever see when they got the whole chicken or something like that in one of Those. It has a like a big crust on it and they cut the crust open and then fold that over and there's rice and shit on the inside. You usually lamb? It's falling apart.
Kevin Ryan
Hey, what are you in Al Qaeda? Bring it back to America, will you? Talking about your. Your chicken bombs? No thank you. Goddamn America. I get my birds at the supermarket.
Ed Trolley
Okay, go for the suicide vest sauce. Woo.
Kevin Ryan
Hot.
Ed Trolley
Whoa. Are you kidding me?
Kevin Ryan
That joke's self detonated.
Ed Trolley
Luke left think at me.
Kevin Ryan
Now if you don't mind, they're going to take a sip of liquid from
Ed Trolley
my full cup, which is there now I could fake drink.
Kevin Ryan
You don't even have a cup. You just do it. You got the empty hand?
Ed Trolley
Oh, I spilled some.
Kevin Ryan
Doing your mime work.
Ed Trolley

Those things are just built different. Fit good.
Kevin Ryan
There's a feel.
Ed Trolley
Good.
Kevin Ryan
There's a thing. When like they. When someone who's making clothes. Listen, I just wear whatever. But like when the cut. When someone who's making pants knows how to make pants. Someone's making bathing suit shorts that knows what they're doing. The right inseam, the right material, the right length everywhere. It just fits right and you look better.
Ed Trolley
You really do.
Kevin Ryan
It's like buying off the rack versus going to get a tailored suit. Like, yeah, you could go to TJ Maxx or wherever and buy a discount bathing suit. Not with these guys. Come the right price, right fit, cut just for you.
Ed Trolley
Can I say this too? When you're in the pool, you notice it.
Kevin Ryan
Oh yeah.
Ed Trolley
It feels better. You don't feel like I did those other bathing suits. You know, for a bigger guy, it feels like I'm wearing sweatpants. Like it drags you down. You get out, you got that, that water bubble in your.
Pat

Kevin Ryan
Shout out to it. If you don't know Areita's water ice, is Luke saving the. Let me get a definition of water ice.
Ed Trolley
It's a cool, refreshing, slushy, like, treat.
Kevin Ryan
Water ice, often called water ice in a local accent, is a popular regional name for Italian ice. A sweet, dairy free frozen dessert made by freezing water, sugar, fruit, or flavorings together. It's smoother than a snow cone because the ingredients freeze together rather than the syrup being poured over to crushed ice, which I like.
Ed Trolley
Both. But that dairy free. You can change that when you put a little. When you make a misto, little soft
Kevin Ryan
serve kind of gelati. I'll do. I'll do the gelati. I'll do gelati with vanilla and root Beer.
Ed Trolley
Oh, that's my shit.
Kevin Ryan
So they started it's local. I think it's more pretty much on a lot of the Rita's is on the east coast at this point. But it started off small business. I believe in Bucks county and Ben Salem, Pennsylvania.
Ed Trolley
I went to college with the kid whose dad started reedus water.
Kevin Ryan
Is he from Bucks?
Ed Trolley
I don't know. I can't remember. I don't know. I never met him.
Kevin Ryan
I don't know soccer.
Ed Trolley
But this is a real club soda.
Kevin Ryan
But they started out that's where you go. You get your sweet treat. You go to Rita's. They were like franchise. And then they fucking blew up. So he goes, we were raised on Rita's water ice. Every summer we moved to Montana and found there was no such thing as water ice here. That's so funny. They land. I just pictured them a bunch of bags in Eagles jersey on he lands in Bozeman, goes, where the hell is water ice? Before even who even goes to his apartment? We couldn't believe it when we made it actually come out good.
Ed Trolley
I ordered a soft pretzel. They gave me a piece of bread with salt on it.
Kevin Ryan
I said what the hell is this? Good fellow.
Ed Trolley
Yeah, of course. Okay.
Kevin Ryan
We decided to make our own. We couldn't believe it when we made it and it actually came out good and tasted like what we were used to. We decided to try to sell it. We currently have a small stand in the center of town where you can get water ice and gelatis all summer long.
Ed Trolley
There you go.
Kevin Ryan
The name of the business is a shout out to anyone who visits back home. Only a couple people understand it and probably wasn't the best idea for a business name.
Ed Trolley
Water ice. Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
People don't know what it. If you don't know the accent, you don't know what.
Ed Trolley
Sure.
Kevin Ryan
People don't know what water ice.
Ed Trolley
But I liked it. I like that.
Kevin Ryan
But it's always worth it. When someone comes up to the window, laugh and it makes it clear that they understand the name. If you're traveling or live in Montana. I'm losing the accent. And you want some regular old east coast water ice, come on over. Shout out to you. Maybe check your German Instagram or whatever you got going on there.
Ed Trolley
Just it is there.

Kevin Ryan
Yeah, it's Good. Been in 20 years. Industry leader. DJ Mike City. All right. This one. This is a little weird, but I kind of respect the story. This is Yuki Homes. U y u k I homes. Okay, Bear with me. We help people. Yuki Homes Japan. That's the Instagram.
Ed Trolley
I thought it was like Yuki Washington, the greatest sports anchor of all time.
Kevin Ryan
I've all chat out Philadelphia. We help people buy houses in Japan.
Ed Trolley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
Me and my best friend started this business after buying a house in Japan for $26,000. They're all over the place. And they don't check your bank statements. They just. You just pay all cash. New York is too expensive anyway. So we snowboard and live on one of the best ski areas in the world every season.
Ed Trolley
Ma, I'm moving to Japan.
Kevin Ryan
It's four bedroom house, Plenty of room for the bug man. It's if he can afford only to rent a room while he saves up.
Ed Trolley
Huh? I got to move.
Kevin Ryan
Probably random, not the business you were thinking of. But pretty cool is our only. It's the only job between him and his best friend. They both met in college, were garbage and probably still mostly garbage. But we're garbage that travels well. That's what we're fucking talking about.
Ed Trolley

I like that. Hey, good looking kid. Is that him?
Kevin Ryan
Ah. Everybody gotta be on it.
Ed Trolley
What the fuck's with that? With Instagram?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. They want you a lot. They want you. Why?
Ed Trolley
Why do they want you on the phone? You can't do it.
Kevin Ryan
Luke's logging in. Didn't want us to see his password. Yeah, give me the password. But.
Ed Trolley
But 69. It's probably. Luke is awesome. 22 something dumb. We agree he stinks, right?
Kevin Ryan
We're not doing this. Click more. Let's see what. Buy. Buy it.
Ed Trolley
Give him a follow.
Kevin Ryan
Buy a japous. Is that what they call them? That sounds slightly racist. A japous. Click the link below. All right, that's pretty cool. See what they got. They got a podcast too. These freaking kids.
Ed Trolley
Where did you buy a home in Japan? All right, hit the vid seller side. Communications.
Kevin Ryan
Don't play the video.
Ed Trolley
Okay?
Kevin Ryan
You know, just blindly playing fucking video. We're producing a show here.
Ed Trolley
Can I own a home in Japan? Yes. You have the same ownership rights as a Japanese citizen. You own both the home and the land. Don't we do that here?
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, but I think in some countries you might just own the house and not the land. How much are property taxes? Property taxes? About 1.7% of the assessed value of the home. So cheaper houses mean cheaper taxes. For reference, on a $40,000 home, taxes are about $600 per year. That ain't bad.
Ed Trolley
But. But I got a fucking commute. What's that? Commute?
Kevin Ryan
See what I'm. See what a flight to Japan is in like three months.
Ed Trolley
It's like eight hours.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, no, I'm saying money wise. Money.
Ed Trolley
Oh, how Long is it though?
Kevin Ryan
What?
Ed Trolley
How long is the flight to Japan?
Kevin Ryan
What I look like Expedia? It's probably like fucking 14 hours.
Luke
14 hours?
Kevin Ryan
Well, what's Hawaii?
Ed Trolley
I'm not fucking commuting from Hawaii. And don't bring that up. It's a touchy subject.
Luke
Cheapest flight is about 597. That's a 28 hour with one layover.
Kevin Ryan
$500?
Pat
Yeah.
Luke
$600.
Kevin Ryan
That's not bad.
Ed Trolley
So does he want to get a. At home in Japan? Something like that.
Kevin Ryan
I also think, listen, we're not. We travel a lot, but we're not like fucking backpackers.
Ed Trolley
No, that.
Kevin Ryan
Dude, people for 600 bucks. Oh, 600 bucks in a day. I'm in Japan, they're all about that. I don't live that kind of life. But a lot of people, this is like something fucking Ari would do. Yeah. I own a fucking $20,000 Japanese house. Outdoor. Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto.
Ed Trolley
It's pretty cool, thinking outside the box. Homeowners insurance, around 300 bucks a year. It's great.
Kevin Ryan
That's good.
Ed Trolley
Including earthquake coverage. Case I use the bathroom.
Kevin Ryan
Simple joke from a simple man.
Ed Trolley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
Not to throw that back at you.
Ed Trolley
Why are homes in Japan so cheap? Let's check that out.
Kevin Ryan
Because of a unique combination of permissive zoning that allows massive housing oversupply, a shrinking population and cultural preference for a new construction over old homes. So you're buying an old fucking. Buying an old fucking jalopy.
Ed Trolley
Japan's hat. I don't know.
Kevin Ryan
It's a car.
Ed Trolley
No, jalopy's not a jalopy. Is like a beat up car. Okay, an old jalopy.
Kevin Ryan
What do you got, Luke? I think it's based on it.
Luke
You're good.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah.
Ed Trolley
What is?
Kevin Ryan
I don't know. I heard my uncle. I heard my uncle say it, so I thought it was bad. If you hear it on a wild boardwalk, you fucking. It's. There's a coin flipping bad news.
Ed Trolley
What do you got, Luke?
Luke
1920s term for an old broken down car. People think. Think it.
Kevin Ryan
Oh, boy. All right, stop.
Ed Trolley
Japanese homes, everybody.
Kevin Ryan
Kevin's uncles think it's. They think it's a slur. It's not. All right. Very nice.
Ed Trolley
There's a very nice shrinking population in Japan. Sucks.
Luke
Well, they have a lot of old people.
Ed Trolley
Oh, I said they'll live forever. They're eating all them purple potatoes and
Luke
they're not having as many kids.
Ed Trolley
No. And I just found out they eat something else too. This. How you doing?
Kevin Ryan
That's one of My favorite jokes of all time.
Ed Trolley
They eat like mung beans or something like that. There's something that they have that gives it. It's like the hot new thing. It's fermented something. It gives you something.
Kevin Ryan
This is a very informative tangent.
Ed Trolley
It looks like. It looks like melted peanut brittle.
Luke
It all comes down to socialization. That's what all the oldest people.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah. Have that and olive oil. And remember that.
Ed Trolley
We thought that was gonna save us. Everybody had that on. I just remember we go to Italian restaurant. My dad would be soaking his fucking bread in Italian. Yeah. Just drowned in it in that fucking pound of Parmesan cheese on it.
Kevin Ryan
All right, let's make some garlic. Very cool. If you're. That's a very. That's a very interesting. Also look at the fucking.
Ed Trolley
I love it.
Kevin Ryan

Ed Trolley
Vertical integration.
Kevin Ryan

Kevin Ryan
All right, let's see here. This is Leonardo DiCaprio. This is. This is real fucking salt of the earth shit. This one's from Dylan Perry. H and H and H Processing.
Ed Trolley
Love it.
Kevin Ryan
What do you think that is?
Ed Trolley
They process criminals.
Kevin Ryan
Meat processing and prep.
Ed Trolley
Really?
Kevin Ryan
Uh huh.
Ed Trolley
I like this.
Kevin Ryan
Okay. It's an art form. They run a true farm to table butcher shop out of their property in Cynthiana. I believe I'm pronouncing that Cynthiana. Cynthiana, Kentucky. He is a certified as I guess the dad is certified by the state through the University of Kentucky and can handle beef, pork, turkey, deer, bison and elk. He is equipped to handle the entire job from slaughter to packaging and makes the customer orders for in house made jerky, steak, sausage, burgers, hot dogs and carry just about anything else you can think of to eat some clean and fresh meat. Whoa, that's. Look at that hat. If that's not a guy who knows his way around a deer, that's crazy.
Ed Trolley
Ship the hat.
Kevin Ryan
That's a fucking sick hat, that camo. For the audio listener. It's camo with the. With like the hunters. Orange H and H processing. 859333, 1603. So if you're in the Kentucky area. Cynthia.
Ed Trolley
So if you're a hunter, do you bring. You bring your thing in and they process it for you?
Kevin Ryan
I guess. But they also. Okay, I'm not done yet. He works directly with hunters and farmers through all the seas. Farmers too. Like if you're like, oh, I have a dairy. But the slaughter is probably another, you know, another avenue that you're like, we not export, outsource that he works directly with hunters and farmers through all seasons and processed over well over 200 deer in the 2025 season alone. They make regular donations with all the surplus to local food pantries and is a major supplier to the Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry charity across central Kentucky, donating thousands of pounds of meat for the less fortunate Kentuckians over the years. What are we fucking doing?
Ed Trolley
Let's go.
Kevin Ryan
Salt of. Salt of the earth. Great.
Ed Trolley
You ever have bear?
Kevin Ryan
No.
Ed Trolley
Got me hungry.
Kevin Ryan
Great mission, great food. Help your boy out and spread the word. Love you.
Ed Trolley
Let's go.
Kevin Ryan
That's fucking H and H process. Also I love. You know, it's a. It's a blue collar family organization. When the website is the Facebook page, you know what you're getting. If you go to a bar, you Google, hey, what's this bar? Let me see the menu of this bar. And it's a Facebook page. I don't even click. I'm going right there. They got, they got. That's the kind of vibes Kippy's looking for. There's no big overhead. They go, I got the Facebook page. I want. What do I need a website for? I know, for a URL.
Ed Trolley
Yeah, I pay for URL. Put that back into the savings when you're getting your meat processed.
Kevin Ryan
That's a fucking. That's a guy who's like, I know all my customers. I shake them in the hand, I look them, and they live down the street. That's the. This guy ain't looking for huge expansion, but he wants to grow the business.

We actually started homebrewing in our college dorm, don't tell the RA before eventually graduating to my garage after college. My business partner's day job is a clinical toxicologist at the Hartford Hospitals for Poison Control center and a professor of pharmacy.
Ed Trolley
Okay.
Kevin Ryan
The brewery's name and theme come from the expertise. Many of our beer names, artwork and branding are also inspired by the poisonous plants, animals, mushrooms and other toxins.
Ed Trolley
Like this. I like this. They got an angle. This is cool.
Kevin Ryan
Less than two years ago, we expanded to a 15,000 square foot historic building in the heart of downtown New London. Holy shit. 15,000 square feet is huge. Today we brew three times as much beer and have grown into a local destination and travel spot for craft beer lovers. We have a restaurant, coffee shop, private event space, speakeasy style cocktail lounge, and even a live poison dart frog exhibit. Keep me away from that. The animal featured on our logo. We also partner with the Production Brewery with Production Brewery near New Haven to brew larger batches that are distributed through roughly 30 states and internationally. You can find our beer Fungu in New York, in NYC and New Jersey.

Ed Trolley
Let's go.
Kevin Ryan
About six years ago, I was bartending in downtown Denver when the bar I worked at was shot up. Okay. That was my last night in the service industry. That guy said. So funny.
Ed Trolley
This Harold, I'm leaving.
Kevin Ryan
He said it the other. He's. This guy's. Sounds like he's typing this from the corner of a bar guy. Last night. I'm fucking hanging up my apron at night.
Ed Trolley
Ever since I've been on the other
Kevin Ryan
side of the bar, I thought building stuff sounded cool and found the guy willing to train me. Worked for him for years and have been on my own for just over two years now.
Ed Trolley
Let's go.
Kevin Ryan
Let's fucking go. I mainly subcontract through remodel companies and do a lot of basement remodels. Installing cabinets, doors, building shelves, manuals, handrails, bookcases, trimming work, crown molding, custom buildings and all the stuff. And all the stuff. I would love to do more custom fun stuff. I can. I can't paint for shit, but hopefully some other blue collar bozo in here can help me with that.
Ed Trolley
Aw.
Kevin Ryan
So hit him up. He's obviously a professional. So a lot of like, if I, I, you know, a lot of the industry, these trades. A lot of my family members, like my uncles and stuff, they own their own company, but they're. You can't go knock on the door of like ABC Drywall. They just have like two or three clients that they work for that just gives them all the work. It's still like commercial or whatever. So this is what this guy sounds like. He's got a few builders that he works with. They call him and go, hey, we just built a new office. Or like go in and like he
Ed Trolley
doesn't put a cab.
Kevin Ryan
He's not finding.
Ed Trolley
I got it.
Kevin Ryan
Customers like on the street. He's got a company that works for a few more. Yeah, they just go, here you go. Here you go.
Ed Trolley
I worked, I worked for. When I was in theater school, I worked for whatever it was theater school at the Hedgerow Theater.
Kevin Ryan
Gets lower that the ymca.
Ed Trolley
I lost confidence in it. That's right.
Kevin Ryan
That was a mascot school.
Ed Trolley
I Goddamn theater school. Luke Repertory Theater Company, Rose Valley, Pennsylvania. The Hedgerow Theater. I worked with a guy who did that kind of stuff. He did, he did like niche. Like they would hire him to like just paint the door on like these old houses. Because you had to paint it a certain way.
Kevin Ryan
Sure. That old stuff for sure. That makes sense.
Ed Trolley
Or pull all the fucking like old fixtures and knobs and all that stuff. Mm. A lot of money in that stuff. Fiber optic cable.
Kevin Ryan
All right, let's try a broad. Let's try one of these broads. What do you say?

Ed Trolley

Kevin Ryan
Home organization. Yeah, Very cool.
Ed Trolley
Click about me. That's very nice.
Kevin Ryan
I wasn't always organized. Confession time. As a teenager, I was basically a human tornado with a shopping habit. I bought things I didn't need, rarely appreciate, and usually let them live out their days in a messy pile on my floor. Becoming a professional organizer never crossed my radar. But then adulting happened, life got busy, responsibilities piled up, and suddenly I found myself craving structure and order desperately.
Ed Trolley
And I respect that.
Kevin Ryan
Yeah, there you go.
Ed Trolley
I love those stairs, too. I love when the stairs have that kind of car.
Kevin Ryan
You know what that's called? A runner. Very nice. You know what's even classier? When they got the runner and then they got like the brass bar. I never. It was in a museum in Ireland that had that. You probably grew up going to houses like that, didn't you, little rat?
Ed Trolley
What are you yelling at Luke for? I don't know.
Kevin Ryan
I thought that's what we were doing. I was taking a page out of your book.
Ed Trolley
Very nice. That's the kind of. That's the kind of stairs you'd like to slide down. And they're fun to run up and they're also fun to play with. Your guys on steps like that?
Luke
Yeah, sure.
Kevin Ryan
A couple guys you met at the bar Toolbox.
Ed Trolley
You know what I mean? You put your little vehicles and stuff on one of the steps and you can kind of sit on the steps.
Kevin Ryan
What's that? How old are you again?
Ed Trolley
50. Okay. Just saying. Just checking.
Pat
Yeah.
Kevin Ryan
Young at heart, bud. That's all I mean.
Ed Trolley

Hosts: Kevin Ryan & H. Foley
Date: July 30, 2026
This special “Small Business Spotlight” episode has hosts Kevin Ryan and H. Foley, alongside their producer Luke and a few drop-ins, reading out and riffing on listener submissions from small business owners who are fans of the show—“the homies and the bozos.” The tone is classic AYG: rapid-fire, deeply Philly, trashy in the best way, and filled with heartfelt shots of blue-collar pride. Their goal: to showcase how diverse, hilarious, and hard-working their own community is—whether you’re running a mobile car repair, slinging Italian ice in Montana, or organizing chaos in Yonkers.
“We mentioned it and then people started writing like, ‘Oh we’ll give 10% off if they mentioned the pod or something.’ So we’re trying to unite this... it’s very Fight Club.”
— Kevin Ryan, 04:16
“Will you be like Angie’s List Network? Chippy’s List. I'll give you that.”
— Ed Trolley, 04:45
“We are micro enterprise. That's a good penis.” (Kevin, 09:01)
“We've had hundreds of submissions at this point. I thought we were gonna get 40, 50, something like that... I haven’t even been able to get through all of them.”
— Kevin Ryan, 10:26
“I came up living in the operations of a small business. That’s all I know.”
— Kevin, 11:02
“My father was an employee of a small business. My dad did start a little offshoot of his own insurance biz.”
— Foley, 11:15
“We moved to Montana and found there was no such thing as water ice here... So we made our own!”
— Submission read by Kevin, 24:34
“Tighten up the Instagram—whatever you got—lock it up, lock it up!”
— Kevin & Foley, 25:39
“If you guys are in the Carolina area and you’re looking for a DJ... Upbeat City Entertainment, 860-908-8670 for all your Carolina DJ needs.”
— Kevin, 29:12
“Our only job between us is Yuki Homes—probably still mostly garbage, but we’re garbage that travels well.”
— Kevin reading, 31:06
“You have the same ownership rights as a Japanese citizen. You own both home and land.”
— Kevin, 32:33
“Well, they’ll live forever. They’re eating all them purple potatoes and… they eat something else too.”
— Foley, 35:07
“They run a butcher shop... certified by the state... beef, pork, turkey, deer, bison, elk—he’s equipped to handle the whole job, from slaughter to packaging...”
— Kevin, 36:28
“When the website is the Facebook page, you know what you’re getting.”
— Kevin, 38:21
“Poison frogs! I was trying to keep the big man on the street out of that terrarium, he’ll be all fucked up!”
— Kevin, 41:28
“Army sniper, US army sniper and paratrooper... Now 15 years in construction. That guy will clunk our heads together!”
— Kevin/Foley, 46:14
“Build a company known for integrity, quality craftsmanship, doing what we say we’ll do.”
— Wicker’s submission, read at 46:04
“Six years ago I was bartending... the bar I worked at was shot up. That was my last night in the service industry... Now I do trim carpentry!”
— Submission, 49:52
“I wasn’t always organized—was basically a human tornado...”
— Submission from Katie Neary, 53:47
“How’s business goin’? — Here and there, you know how it is, like, just getting it off the ground.”
— Kevin & Patrick, 59:10+
“Mobile repair got popular during the pandemic. You’re not the only ones!”
— Raf’s submission, 64:08
Classic AYG: High-energy ball-busting, Philly blue-collar pride, self-deprecating humor, but always mixed with obvious admiration for the everyday hustler and the little guy getting ahead any way they can. They drop lots of side jokes, throwbacks to their own roots, and affectionate roasts, and continually reinforce the importance of genuine connection among their listeners.
This episode is more than a trashy comedy hang—it’s a hilarious, heartfelt celebration of the grit, hustle, and authenticity of the AYG listenership. Each business, whether it’s a one-man mobile auto repair or a family-run Kentucky meat processor, is treated with a mix of irreverence and respect. The episode works as an impromptu, genuinely funny “networking” event for hundreds of small-time entrepreneurs—with the kind of encouragement only garbage people can deliver.
