Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Oreo "Problem": Shrinkflation Hits Home (02:12–07:04)

• H. Foley sounds the alarm about his discovery that Double Stuf Oreos are shrinking, launching a passionate rant about snack shrinkflation as symbols of America's decline:
  • "That is a double stuff Oreo... when we were kids, those things, it was double that!" (03:32, A)
  • He mourns the passing of a full, ample Double Stuf: "That stood for something, man."
• Kevin Ryan provides reality checks, noting that the world moves on and new snack innovations exist (“You're living in the past, man. You're hung up on a cookie from the 60s.” – 10:34, B).
• The duo confirms via their producer Luke (C) that many online report the same—less cream, less satisfaction.
• The hosts bicker (in true Philly style) about favorite snack traditions. Foley pines for abundance ("If you can't trust Oreo... where are we at? Just fucking pull the trigger” – 09:54, A), while Kevin craves moderation and tradition (“Give me the straight up the middle, listen, how I like it. That’s just me.” – 07:52, B).
• Memorable quote:
  • Foley: “As a little fat kid who only got regular Oreos sometimes... I used to dream what it would be like to make a double double stuffed Oreo. That's what kept me going as a kid.” (09:21, A)

Chemicals and Snack Authenticity (06:13–08:08)

• Disillusionment about Oreo filling: Foley and Ryan realize "creme" is not real cream, but a glue-like, chemical concoction—another letdown.
• Kevin confesses, "I assumed it was just like frosting." (06:45, B)
• Foley retorts: "Wake the fuck up, you hayseed. It's all chemical." (06:47, A)

Cookie Wars: Oreos, Hydrox, and Chips Ahoy (08:08–11:18)

• The boys recall making their own Double Stuf Oreos as kids because Hydrox cookies (an Oreo knockoff) just weren't the same.
• Deep nostalgia for snack-related childhood ingenuity: “That's what rats did.” (09:14, B)
• Discussion quickly turns to Chips Ahoy and Soft Batch cookies—Foley insists Chips Ahoy are getting even more chocolate chips (“That thing’s packed with chocolate chips.” – 11:06, A).
• Kevin observes Foley’s deep cookie expertise: “I feel like you're having a lot of cookies, and it's coming out in this argument.” (11:18, B)

Cultural Decline vs. Snack Innovation (12:00–14:00)

• Foley appeals for a "cultural revolution," riffing on the need for a Nirvana-like rebirth—equating the Double Stuf Oreo reduction to societal rot.
• Kevin tries to point out that counterculture always exists, but Foley’s not buying it: “Where's it happening?” (12:23, A)

Power Grid Privilege & Utility Dirtbag Moves (24:25–27:16)

Audience Question: Is it garbage to brag about being on a special power grid?

• Foley finds it trashy: “Knowing what grid you’re on is crazy.” (25:01, A)
• Kevin and Luke recall how some neighborhoods bounce back faster due to proximity to hospitals or schools.
• The boys riff on bad weather outages and looting local schools for showers post-Sandy.

Garbage-Style Bill Paying (27:12–30:56)

Audience Question: When did your ‘dirtbaggin’ really begin?

• Kevin explains plate-spinning and paying bills late, introducing his dirtbag father’s wisdom: "There's no debtor's prison." (28:23, B)
• Foley commiserates about his own checkered history: “So they took the car in the middle of the night. You had to move a couple times in the middle of the night. Sure, everybody has three or four identities these days.” (30:03, A)
• The men swap stories about learning to game the system but warn about getting too bold with government debts.

The Hotel Bar as Neighborhood Hangout (39:16–44:00)

Audience Question: Is it garbage if your crew hangs at a local hotel bar?

• Both hosts delight in the idea: “That’s real… that’s fucking awesome.” (40:07, B)
• Foley: “Bartender got a little personality… real clean. They don’t smell like a shitty bar when you walk in.” (40:56, A)
• The conclusion: of course it’s trashy, “but that’s all right.”
• Kevin recalls a college-era crew taking over a friend’s grandfather’s vacant bar—a highlight of his youth involving “heaters, a bucket of beer and chicken wings.” (48:47, B)

Group Dinners & Splitting Checks (48:50–55:00)

Audience Question: Are you garbage if you proactively split the check?

• Kevin and Foley agree it’s practical, especially if your friends try to duck the bill: “I can understand it if you’re like, these fucking guys are animals.” (49:52, B)
• Foley reflects on the awkwardness of splitting checks, particularly on a date—“Are you fucking this guy?” (50:54, A)

Gas Station & Convenience Store Culture: Maverik, Wawa, Sheetz (57:06–64:10)

Audience Question: Thoughts on Maverik—the “Utah Wawa”?

• Foley and Kevin check out the menu live and are impressed: “That place looks fucking sick.” (57:39, B)
• Kevin admires the soda “mixology” culture ("Yo, these Mormons are fucking locked in," 60:45, B), and both hosts confess a love for roadside American convenience: “We spend a lot of time in these places, eating at these places, figuring these places out…” (61:58, B)
• The debate continues: customization versus classic simplicity when it comes to gas station food.

Childhood Grocery Store Memories (65:10–68:10)

Audience Question: When your parents went to 'the store', which store was it?

• Foley and Kevin reminisce about regional supermarkets—Gennardi’s, Shoprite, Super Fresh—and the unique agony and joy of grocery runs as kids.
• Kevin shares the difference between “going to Wawa” (corner market) and “the store” (bigger haul supermarkets).

Okay.

[A]

To see what's happening, I want to show you a picture. Luke if you will. What is that, Kevin?

[B]

Something you found in your belly button?

[A]

No.

[B]

That looks. Dirty fingernails. Yeah, that looks like Andre the Giant's thumb.

[A]

The world's smallest cookie.

[B]

Looks like a hand that hasn't been washed in a couple of couple, two, three weeks. Probably a little bit of fecal.

[A]

Figured. I figured out a way to shrink down stacks so I don't have to chew them.

[B]

Still the same caloric intake, honey.

[A]

I shrunk the Cheez.

[B]

Its jokes on em. Yeah, that's. I believe that's a regular Oreo. I don't know if you're asking about the filling looks to be speckled or if that's just Oreo dust just from the furious eating that was happening prior to this picture being taken.

[A]

I hit that with a wet saw.

[B]

I got a little bit of slurry in it.

[A]

Luke, do you concur that that is an Oreo? The regular Oreo?

[C]

I. It looks like it, yeah.

[A]

Well, here's the problem. God damn it. That is a double stuff Oreo.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Listen, can you believe that?

[B]

No.

[A]

Can you believe that, man? When we were kids, those things. It was double that. You put two of those together, you didn't know what to do.

[B]

I'd love to look in your photo library. It's all just pictures of food you have grievances with.

[A]

And screenshots of porn I was watching. That I took by accident.

[B]

That's called that by accident. I was gonna say, dude, taking screenshots of porn is wild.

[A]

Can't remember all these goddamn names.

[B]

That's a great idea, though.

[A]

What?

[B]

Not for me. A married guy, but. What. You know what I mean? Screenshot, just to remember, so you remember the scene. A video, A name is something if you want to go back to something, you know, that's all. Nothing. Yeah.

[A]

That's a double stuffed Oreo. Now listen, man. The reason I bring this up is we are in decline.

[B]

Yeah. You're not wrong.

[A]

We are in decay.

[B]

We're jammed up.

[A]

I'm aware of that.

[B]

Culturally or.

[A]

Jean. Yeah. It's like this is where we're at, man. Oreo. Come on, dude.

[B]

You think it's a guy Oreo? You're fucking doing this to me.

[A]

It's somebody. That's a double stuff Oreo, man.

[B]

See if you can find anything on that. Luke, the amount they're not good.

[A]

It's not going to be. It's not going to be in print.

[B]

Well, people.

[A]

I mean, you don't write stuff like that. You Think they're writing it down? We're cutting it down.

[B]

You get fucking whistleblowers. I was worried.

[A]

I'm whistleblowing right now.

[B]

You're blowing something. What do you guys.

[C]

A common trend. Many consumers and online reports suggest that Oreo double stuffed cookies have become smaller or less cream filling, often citing shrinkflation.

[B]

Yeah, that's a big shrinkflation.

[A]

They just keep fight, but they don't say nothing.

[B]

It's like the seats get smaller on an airplane. They fucking jam you up, they add more, they just take, they, they get you hooked on it and then they fucking start repealing it.

[A]

But it's like, listen man, you know, you want to have broads driving cars, Italians walking around.

[B]

Uh huh. I get it, sure.

[A]

You know, but come on, it's gotta stop somewhere.

[B]

It's an Oreo's ear line.

[A]

What the hell's happening to it?

[B]

I saw something, I saw something pretty interesting.

[A]

You wanna have lady doctors, go ahead. I mean, there's enough going on out there in the world, you're doing this shit now. What the fuck, man? Who do you trust? This is crazy.

[B]

I know, I know, I know When I'm looking to trust somebody, I always turn to huge corporations when I need to feel nice and cozy. I tore. I turned to a room full of fucking board members.

[A]

That just shows you where we're going. Nobody's going to Mars. None of that shit, none of that's good.

[B]

If we think it's the same two guys.

[A]

I'm saying, if we're doing this, the

[B]

Oreo guy and the Mars guy.

[A]

If we're doing this, you know, what can you believe in anymore, man?

[B]

Sure, I think, you know, up. I think you might have put a little too much faith in the Oreo as a product and as a company. But I just saw something very. I saw something like two days ago that, that's like an. Obviously you just. You see something that it said. It even says cream filling. It's more of like a glue. It's the. Not. There's like no there. I don't know what it is, but there's no. It's like mostly like jelly or something.

[A]

See that I'm okay with. I know that when you pull up the. What's inside an Oreo, that blew my

[B]

mind because I assumed it was just like frosting.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah, I just never thought about it.

[A]

Wake the fuck up, you hayseed. It's all chemical.

[B]

You can't, you can't get past them fucking making it smaller to make more money.

[A]

No I can't also, you want to load it with fucking chemicals, that's fine. But give us what we. What we want.

[B]

You know, Some people want real cream.

[A]

Well, that's not going to happen, man.

[B]

Okay. And they're going to keep getting.

[A]

But a double stuff. Oreo, that's. That stood for something, man. Cause you never got them. You only got the regular ones. And every once in a while, you show up at a fat kid's house with a single mom who was barely keeping it together. She would have.

[B]

We had them. We had them one time and I gotta be honest with you, it was too much cream filling.

[A]

No, that's.

[B]

I know. At the time. Dude, I'm talking. This is whenever they drop. I meant I remember being like. Like I might fucking. My eyes flickered. I blinked and then blinked again. If you catch my.

[A]

That's a lot of cream.

[B]

Yeah, I was just like, that's. I'm an old. Listen, I'm a traditional guy. I need it right up the middle. I didn't like. To me, that's where the country and we. We live in different countries. I get it. Me and you, we have different. We have different wants and needs out of. Out of what we feel culture should be.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The second they start doing the double stuff and the fucking. The greens. I don't like all of the additional stuff. Give me the straight up the middle. Listen how I like it. That's just me.

[A]

If you don't Listen, if you don't want the fucking dementia, I get that. But double stuff, Come on, that's. That's OG Dog.

[B]

That's too. That's too much. No, I'm telling you, for me, as

[A]

a little fat kid who never got double stuffed Oreos, I used to fantasize.

[B]

Because you live in a fantasy world. We're here, there's boots on the ground. We're about to be World War 3 because this is your problem. Hey, crack a newspaper, guy. We're taking it. The water's coming in the boat and you're sitting here going, oh, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Well, that's why it's even more important to keep these things, to keep our identity as Americans.

[B]

Standing at the beach going, take me. You want it?

[A]

As a little fat kid who only got regular Oreos sometimes. And a lot of time it was that hydroxy stuff or whatever that company's name is.

[B]

Hydroxy cut. That's fucking amphetamines. Maybe that's your problem. Actually, now that I think about it,

[A]

whatever they were called. Hydro. Whatever were one.

[B]

Hydrox.

[A]

Yeah. Hydrox were the one cookies chocolate and the other cookies vanilla.

[B]

I mean, that sound wack. That stuff sounded like peroxide to me. Hydrox might as well be eating crackers. Anything with a fucking X in it was not edible to me.

[A]

But you would make your. You would make your. Your own double stuffed Oreo with the filling. You'd break the top off, you'd eat that cookie and you had to be real careful.

[B]

That's what rats did.

[A]

And then you make. Then you make your own cookie. You make your own double stuff. But I used to dream.

[B]

What do you grow up in the dust bowl? Just eat.

[A]

Too fucking dream, Kevin. And fantasize. What would it be like to make a double double stuffed Oreo? That's what kept me going as a kid.

[C]

And they took it away.

[A]

And they took it away, man. Listen, it ain't saying about me. I'm a 50 year old man. But what about the kids out there that don't know? They think that's what it is.

[B]

Yeah. I would argue, you know, maybe that's good for the kids, that they're not eating that much fucking that much double stuffed cookie.

[A]

I'm aware of that. But still me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If you can't trust Oreo.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's like, where are we at? Just fucking pull the trigger.

[B]

What are we doing?

[C]

They really cover their bases.

[A]

Yeah, I'm sure they do.

[C]

It's 1F in stuff, so it's not technically stuff.

[A]

What's up?

[C]

And then it's creme, not cream.

[A]

It's one F in stuff.

[C]

Yeah, it's only one F. Oh, double stuff.

[B]

It's not stuffed. Yeah, double stuff.

[A]

Double stuff. Oreo, man. You bastard.

[B]

That's like. You'd buy in like Tijuana with the wrong label and. You know what I mean? That's like Philippines version of Oreo jeans. Yeah, man.

[A]

That is how they do it, isn't it, Luke? And they get away with that. Sure they do, because they're greasing somebody's pocket.

[B]

I know, but you gotta. You're living in the past, man. You're hung up on a cookie from the 60s, man, you fucking. There's so much better shit out there. Cookie wise or. Listen, I'm a traditional. I grew up. Listen, I'd be dunking Oreos all day long. I'm a toll. I'm a fucking Chip Ahoy man myself. If I want to have a Chip Ahoy, I'll have a Chip Ahoy. It's a deep cut.

[A]

Now, let me give that to you. Chips Ahoy I think Chip Ahoy. Chip Ahoy.

[B]

That's how fucking Seinfeld's dad say, if I want a Chip Ahoy, I'm gonna have a Chip Ahoy.

[A]

I think Chips Ahoy, or whatever they're called, is putting more chips in there. So why haven't they fucking let everybody down? Because I had a Chip Ahoy recently. That thing's packed with chocolate chips.

[B]

I got to push back. I feel like you're having a lot of cookies, and it's coming. It's coming out in this argument. That's all I'm saying.

[A]

They have them in places that I go. I'm sorry.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Coffee?

[B]

Yeah. Listen, I think you. I get it. I could get you be upset. I think it's gone.

[A]

It's not about me, dog.

[B]

It seems to be you're very upset.

[A]

Think about your son. Don't you want your son to grow

[B]

up in a world so much better cookies than fucking double stuffed shitty cookies? All right. Oh, they don't even believe in a fucking product no more. They're stepping on it.

[A]

You know what?

[B]

Next week they'll be coming out with fucking Oreos with fentanyl in them. I got it straight out of stretch of this product.

[A]

You know what? Forget it, Luke. Cut all this hey, everybody out there bullshit. I mean, yeah, we need a fucking cultural revolution. We need fucking nirvana to come back. Somebody like that.

[B]

That would be the. You just want to live when you didn't have any fucking responsibilities. No fucking drop acid.

[A]

And I don't double choreos, but some type of cultural something, man.

[B]

I would say that's all. A lot of that's happening. You're just very not.

[A]

Where's it happening?

[B]

I don't know. There's always been a counterculture of something. Things are always changing.

[A]

Some bands or something to come back.

[C]

When I discovered that chewy Chips Ahoy, though, that was my cultural revolution.

[A]

Maybe I'm with you. I remember when they dropped.

[B]

Wait, I can't.

[C]

The red one.

[B]

I know, but I think I'm thinking of the whole house. Soft batch, those.

[A]

Dude.

[B]

My stepmom came around. The two things she implemented were those soft batch. That peel. They were the first ones that peel from the top.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The whole house. Oh, yeah, you did.

[A]

They were so. They were like raw in the center. They had like a salty something in the center.

[B]

And they were tiny enough where, like, crush them. Yeah. So that. Dude, you would dip those in milk. They would. They didn't know what to happen. Those johns. We get the big. The big one and they lasted maybe 45 minutes and that and Velveeta Mac and cheese. She introduced those two things. This bro can fucking stick around for a little while.

[A]

I tell you what for making those in a tree. They came out pretty good.

[B]

Those were nothing on that. I mean what are we fucking. Is this Sesame street double stuffed Oreos?

[A]

Yeah, I could use a manicure too.

[B]

Jesus Christ.

[A]

What do you think that picture's taken.

[B]

That looks like in an apartment where the lights are cut off. That's where looks like it was taken. Dude that. If you were to send that to me if I were to stumble across there's.

[A]

It looks like it was in a medical facility.

[B]

Yeah, you. That could be said that this could be the picture of someone who's about to post it on Facebook who is schizophrenic of going. Of going. They're taking away my crim. And I see how they spell it. I'm not. It goes deeper than that. You're. You're sending packages to the government and shit like crumpled up or. I'm looking for an attorney to represent me. Oh you're in on it too.

[A]

[B]

Okay guys, hold on. Stop the. Luke, stop.

Now compared Oreos were great when you had to go when your. When your mom went to the grocery store once every week and bought snacks and that's what was available. Now it's like you live in fucking New York City. You got a fourth street. There's like boutique cookie places.

[A]

[B]

Okay. I don't think you like that idea by the way you said it.

[A]

They got my mom s crumble cookies. She got stomachache said she'll never eat them again.

[B]

Oh God. Okay.

[C]

Yeah. It's like 1200 calories for one cookie.

[A]

Do you know anybody that smoked merits?

Even as a kid, I was like, you're trash.

[B]

My buddy's mom. And she kept him. She kept them in a. In the case, like the. Like the big purse case. You know what I mean? And that. It had that contraption that was so hard to me as a young kid to open.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, the two, like.

[A]

It was like. It looked like a little pocketbook.

[B]

Yeah. And it had like the clips that clip like that. Yeah.

[A]

I used to love smell. My aunt had one of those. I used to love smelling it.

[B]

It was pink and there was a. Like, they were. She was the first person to smoke hundreds to merit hundreds, I think. And that and a lighter. And she beat these dry fucking banana clip of merits taking heavy guy came out with some heavy merit. 100 drive. We'd all be in a station wagon. A hundred of us facing the back, woody panel.

[A]

Hundred people.

[B]

I'm so stupid. That's a lot of things. We're all smoking.

[A]

Everybody's smoking.

[B]

And she. Dude like this. She was. She was the first person in my life. I don't think she was like, bigger, you know, just like, oh, whatever. Like a mom. But I was so young and she was such a powerful, like, big personality. Big personality. You know, strict would like fucking yell at me of like, you know, I mean, I was over there all the time, but like, you know, Kevin, like an aunt essentially. And then she was this huge part. I didn't see her for like 15 years. And I saw it a funeral. And dude, she was like 5 foot 1, like 15 pounds. I was like. I was. At first, my mind was blowing. I was like, oh, I made. You were a giant in my head. Because I was five and you know what I mean? Stealing her heaters, getting pissed at me. But she was just this huge fucking force of a woman. And then to see her as I was a grown man, I was like, God damn. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Nothing's. Nothing lasts forever, kid.

[B]

Okay. Tell that to. Or. You hear that? Nabisco was. That is Oreo Nabisco.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, growing up our whole. Our whole lives on the. You know, a lot of northeast dirt bags will know this on. I believe it's Byberry. And the boulevard was the Nabisco factory.

[A]

And man could smell it from here.

[B]

You could fight you. That was that. I never understood that. Cuz, like, they weren't real cookies. I'm like, how the fuck do I really smell the cookies?

[A]

They're Baking something in there.

[B]

I know, but then I met this kid. I met this kid at the Orlando airport cuz our flight was delayed. I was probably 10 and he's like, you know, he was 16, 18.

[A]

Where'd you. What do you hang? What?

[B]

We were delayed. Our flight was delayed.

[A]

So you start at 10. You start what are you at a bar? Mingling?

[B]

I TGI Fridays, having a couple of coffee.

[A]

How do you talk to somebody I don't know at an airport?

[B]

We were flying East Wind Airlines. See if you can find east. That who is me, my whole family.

[A]

How did you get with your family where you're talking to somebody? To where the conversation got to. Hey, you know the Nabisco factory in northeast Philly? You were about to get got.

[B]

I showed him a picture of my Orient and that kid was such northeast white tray. I remember he had a. We were. It's fucking dead of summer in Orlando. This kid had a velour sweatsuit on.

[A]

Were you sitting at the gate?

[B]

Yeah, we're staying at the gate, waiting. They canceled our flight. They were canceling because East Wind Airlines only had like four planes.

[A]

Oh really?

[C]

They only lasted four years.

[B]

Yeah. Jesus, man, it was.

[A]

You got lucky.

[B]

We were jammed. I know my brother. I told you. My brother refuses. He goes, I'm gonna have dad come pick me up. That's not happening. He didn't want to get on the plane, but he scared. Yeah, because like they had to make it. That same kid, the same guy. Kid, he's like 18 probably. He told us on the way down they had to make his. His East Wind airline had. Plane had to make an emergency landing. So. Danny hair. Dang. Who's. I'll see you later. I'll be driving up with. Who is this kid?

[A]

He's out there somewhere.

[B]

I know he might listen to the show.

[A]

Kev, let's talk about Brunt workwear.

[B]

Brunt, Brunt, Brunt, Brunt, Brunt.

[A]

Woo Gang. Let's talk about the founder, Eric Gerard. Grew up bl collar kid created Brunt after friends in the trade told him big legacy brands stopped listening to them and became too fashionable.

[B]

Trying to be fashion companies, not workwear companies.

[A]

Yeah, you got to really combine fashion and comfort and durability. And that's where Brunt comes in. Traditional work boards, traditional work boots would force guys to choose between comfort and durability. But not with Brunt. Baby, you're going to look good, you're going to feel good, and you're going to feel very secure in your Brunts.

[B]

The Big thing about Brunts is no painful break in, no sore feet, no stiff leather battles. You come in, you kind of set and forget you put your foot in. Boom, you're on the, you're on a job site the first day. I was always a bozo when it came to my boots. I wish I knew about Brunt. Back when I was banging my blue collar jobs, I was using hand me downs. I was buying them a Payless. I was being an idiot. And it's one of the things you know, if you work, if you work in the trades, you lose your feet. You're done for the day. You can't that, that affects the rest of the week. You got a bad day of boots on. Brunt isn't just about work boots. They offer a full range of high performance gear built for tough jobs. From heavy duty work pants to weather resistant jackets. Brunt designs durable, reliable workwear to keep you protected and productive in any conditions. Brunt was tired of the workwear brands cutting corners. You work too hard to be stuck in uncomfortable boots that don't hold up. So they built something better. Boots that are insanely comfortable and built for any job site. For a limited time. Our listeners get $10 off at Brunt when you choose the code. When you use the code garbage at checkout, just head to bruntworkwear.com use the code garbage and you're good to go. After you order, they're gonna ask you how you heard about Brunt. Do them a favor and telling a boy sent you.

[A]

Okay. What do you about hollow socks?

[B]

Oh, best socks I ever wore in my whole life.

[A]

What do you know about the phrase ultra soft baby alpaca fiber?

[B]

Alpaca my bags and go buy another pair.

[A]

You done man, you hit him with that baby alpaca fiber. These are the most comfortable socks that you are ever gonna put on. And you could take that to the bank. Yeah, to the H. Foley bank. I'm telling you. Here's the other crazy thing. Your feet aren't freezing in the winter.

[B]

I don't know. This is black magic. I don't know how they do this.

[A]

They don't get sweaty and clammy in the summertime.

[B]

It's that soft baby alpaca we're talking. It's alpaca thermo regulating.

[A]

Do yourself a favor, go over to hollow socks, try it out. If I'm wrong, whatever.

[B]

Yeah, they're. They're built for daily wear in real boots, not just dress socks. Alpaca fibers make bacterial growth difficult, reducing the Root cause of most foot odors. I know the army of garbage loves good value. You don't mind spending a couple extra bucks as long as you're getting the good product. We've all made the mistakes of buying a million pairs of socks for $8. They don't breathe your toes, you're sweating and you're trying to. You're trying to knock boots with a young lady. She goes, what's that smell? You go, I don't know. I should, I should have done the alpaca fibers.

[A]

Not baby alpaca.

[B]

Uh huh. It's made right here in the US of A. And trusted by athletes. And over 2 million pairs sold. Daddy. Oh. That's how they're doing. They're moving units for a limited time. Hollow Socks is having a buy to get to free sale. Who don't love a bogo to head to Hollow Socks.com today to check it out. Hollow. That's Hollow Socks dot com. For 50% off your first order. For up to 50% off your first order. After you purchase, they're gonna ask you how you heard about them, support the show and tell them the boy sent you do?

[A]

Yeah. That's crazy. So you what, you're sitting at the gate and you see this kid.

[B]

Oh, where are you from? You know, I live up on, you know.

[A]

Where are your parents?

[B]

My mom and stepdad are there or drinking. Yeah, probably.

[A]

And you're roaming around the airport talking to random guys.

[B]

That's a wild way to put it. Talking to random guys.

[A]

I mean, how do you start talking to a random 18 year old as a 10 year old?

[B]

We were standing in line and I also think someone else for the plane, someone else was driving the conversation. Probably Danny. Danny's probably trying to steal his credit cards or something. Danny's trying to probably bum a heater off the guy.

[A]

So what did he tell you about the Nabisco?

[B]

It was fake. He goes, they just pumped that out. My stepdad worked there. Something, something.

[A]

No, that's not true.

[B]

I don't know. Just letting you know what I know

[A]

because I remember there used to be a now lane. In fact now a lander factory in Brooklyn. And when you drove on, I think the Gowanus Expressways back in the day, you could smell the fruit flavor.

[B]

Candy.

[A]

Yeah, candy. I love that kind of shit.

[B]

No, yeah, it's cool.

[A]

Yeah, I like it.

[B]

But now that's. That's. They leveled. They leveled the Nabisco factory. It's now a Wawa. And the Topgolf.

[A]

Hmm. I respect that.

[B]

But the roller skating palace halfway down the block survived. Shout out to it.

[A]

There you go. Well, what are you gonna do?

[B]

Oh, listen, all this. All this corporation cookie talk. Is the smell real? Is it not real? You know, trying to alert to consumer. Is Foley's power on? Is it off? That does. That's neither here nor there. We got a gosh darn family episode.

[A]

Oh, my power's on overtime.

[B]

Boom now.

[A]

Cause it's really cheap.

[B]

I'm getting bamboozled. I just. Something's going on.

[A]

My power bill is like 100 bucks. Summer. It's fucking crazy.

[B]

Yeah. I get you that AC running there. This is. Wow. Sometimes the show just naturally flows. This is from J. RO. This was. This is the first question I pulled. Is it garbage to say that you never lose power because of a special power grid you're on? Like, I never lose power because I'm on the same grid as the hospital. Like, the hospital doesn't have a generator. Something to brag about. That's so true, man. They can't cut me. I'm, you know, I'm at the water treatment plant.

[A]

Right. Jesus, that's trashy. Knowing what grid you're on is crazy.

[B]

I don't think anybody. It's one grid, right?

[A]

I don't know. I don't know how that works.

[C]

We were always close to the schools.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So we were always like, ah, the power would be back on.

[B]

That makes sense. They'll get it back on early for the schools. And I.

[A]

That.

[B]

That would make sense to me. But we never really lost power that much.

[A]

Now.

[B]

We didn't because I think we were like, part of a newer development. So I think. I guess our power was under there. Wasn't my house in the burbs now.

[A]

A storm would take it out for like a cut for like an hour. I never lost power for more than, like, a few hours.

[B]

But that happens a lot now. Like outside Philippines with the snowstorms and shit. People like, I haven't had power in three days.

[A]

Fucked up, man. Crazy.

[B]

That's wild.

[A]

When I was in that hurricane in North Carolina, I lost it for like. It was like six days with no power.

[B]

That's wild to me. Brutal.

[C]

Sandy, we didn't have school for like two weeks, Sandy.

[A]

Two weeks.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It was crazy.

[B]

That's wild.

[A]

You're out there looting.

[C]

Me and my boys were, like, going to the school to, like, take showers and shits because the whole town had to.

[B]

Yeah, that makes sense to go good.

[A]

Make you fucking scumbags.

[C]

Great equalizer, baby.

[A]

Showers at the school. Would you have to shower in groups now? I mean privacy.

[C]

They had like. It was a good set, a new school, good set up there.

[A]

Chicks.

[B]

Any local moms being a dad and having to go shower at the schools, like, tough.

[A]

Look, man, you're in there shaving.

[B]

Hey, Mr. Jenkins.

[A]

Peanut 1 of those little urinals. Yeah, man, that's trashy. Nah, I got the. I'm on a policeman's grid, whatever it is.

[B]

Yeah, dirt bags. All right, let's see here. $10 union member here. How old were you when your dirt baggin is really begin? I was 18 when I found out that as long as you pay a bill within 30 days of a due date, it doesn't affect your credit. And from then on out, I was a profess professional plate spinner.

[A]

I'm with you.

[B]

Yeah, that's.

[A]

I didn't know that.

[B]

I think that was J Dub. I knew that way too early.

[A]

I didn't know until recently because.

[B]

Well, I'll even push back on this. You can go crazy long without paying. Doesn't it will. It will. You can go. They can shut it the off and it's still not. I think it can really only ding your credit if they. If they front new money.

[A]

Front me money?

[B]

Yeah. Like all the only things that report to your credit are money lending.

[A]

Like.

[B]

Like the power company's giving you a service, right?

[A]

Giving you money. Yeah.

[B]

They can suck. They can ask my D for all I care.

[A]

Loans is where you get jammed up.

[B]

Yeah. And like maybe after a certain time, if you don't pay the credit, like don't turn it over to a recovery like a debt collector, but I don't think that ever goes to fucking. Do you want to fucking talk about dirt bag plates locked in. Locked in guy. You want to know what and what. What is legal and what is not legal when it comes to paying your bills? Talk to my dad. How you doing?

[A]

Huh?

[B]

I was at a very young age when he goes. I was worried about him, you know, just getting going away or something like that.

[A]

You know, there's no debtors prison.

[B]

He told me. I remember sitting in the Jeep eating tic Tacs and he went, you told me that there's no debtors prison.

[A]

I changed my life when you told me that.

[B]

Yeah, there's no. There's no. There's no. You can. You can get in trouble for. I mean, there's. It depends the stance you take with the IRS as well.

[A]

Of course. Gotta pay the man.

[B]

But if you evade, that's why it's tax evasion. It's never not paying your taxes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's lying on if you're doing some sneaky. Yeah. Like, ah, this is what.

[A]

You're just an idiot.

[B]

Which we don't do because we have somebody that technically don't feel like that's

[A]

something they do in France. Like a debtor's prison.

[B]

That's old school.

[A]

Put you in Papillon.

[B]

Take. Yeah, like they take your teeth or something if you can't pay them.

[A]

Take you to some island. We eat gruel every day.

[B]

Yeah. That's a big thing we. That. I mean I was at a very young age when I realized how not good the money sitch was by how highly stacked the unopened mail was. They just. They just couldn't face it. And it was just like, why the fuck am I going to ruin my day opening this up.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's also back then things move so much slower that. And if the phone rings, I'm not here. I thought everybody was doing it.

[A]

Look at it this way though. Nothing ever really happened. Everybody's okay.

[B]

You know, sure.

[A]

They're worrying about that shit. And this is.

[B]

I would say I'm a little affected by the validity of. By the volatileness of the cash game.

[A]

Hey, tough break, fuck face. Take a Seroquel, get back in the fight.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I mean that's very much it. And it's also.

[A]

You're scarred.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

But they never came and got you.

[B]

I mean. Yeah.

[A]

So they took the car in the middle of the night. You had to move a couple times in the middle of the night. Sure, everybody has three or four identities these days.

[B]

Yeah. I mean it led to like not speaking to a lot of family and friends. You know,

[A]

eat my Thanksgiving turkey by myself.

[B]

It was that and it was. It took me. I was probably about in my teens when it like the whole perspective changed of maybe it's not everybody else who is the problem.

[A]

It's funny, you fell right in line though.

[B]

What do you mean?

[A]

You know, you're put together guy. More or less.

[B]

Yeah. Compared to you, I'm fucking Abe Lincoln. What the fuck are you talking about?

[A]

Couldn't pull one of those hats off.

[B]

I heard corn cob pipe, but from

[A]

a very young age, you were a dirt ball.

[B]

Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah.

[A]

You weren't paying bills.

[B]

You still don't. My spectrum still gets turned. That's when I pay it. If we're on the road, my wife will text me. The Internet's down. Did you pay the bill?

[C]

I just Imagine you in all these super stressful situations, just crushing Orange Tic Tacs.

[B]

No, we didn't like that.

[A]

Why orange Tic Tacs?

[C]

Because he was eating the orange Tic Tacs.

[B]

Now we're always light winter. The winter. The light green wintergreen. Well, he. Big Dan Ryan had them in his car. Heavy. All time. Every time.

[A]

I ate a thing of Tic Tacs not that long ago.

[B]

That's a weird way to put it. You ate a thing of. That's how you view it?

[A]

I did. Remember the night we did Jeremiah show? Remember I had a thing of Tic Tacs. No, I offered you some.

[B]

I'm not saying you did. I gave. That's how. That's what I remember.

[A]

I gave Norman some. I think somebody asked for some real cool guy.

[B]

I'm playing it. He sound like a copy. I just want some Tic Tacs. I swear I gave you them.

[A]

And then I crossed so hungry I crushed the whole thing. That's a candy.

[B]

Me and my brother fell in love with the Orange Tic Tacs at the Bellagio. My dad got married in Vegas. Second marriage. How you doing? Didn't last.

[A]

But she got you to soft batch.

[B]

She got me to soft batch in Velveeta.

[A]

That's how she got you, huh? That was new to her. I never thought about that aspect of getting a stepmom. You get her little, you know what treats.

[B]

How she. The things that difference were shaken, baked. Denise never fucked with. She fucked with.

[A]

Really?

[B]

She was pretty good.

[A]

Yeah, I remember.

[B]

Dude. I remember the chicken back in the 90s where you was like veiny. You just be pulling out like fucking arteries and shit, dude. It was like hornies crazy.

[A]

It's like they got it from American Gladiator.

[B]

She was whack. I just remember being like, what in the. Like pulling out like. Of Like a vein. You know what I mean? Like an actual long. Yeah, red.

[A]

That's when breasts took off. Chicken breasts. Because nobody was with the parts. Get out of here with that shit.

[B]

They weren't. They weren't thin breast either. Like you got. Now These were heavy bike beating the heart.

[A]

Do your mom ever serve you? The thigh and the leg together.

[B]

It was like she knew she. Well, if there was bones in it, Denise knew not to put it on my feet.

[A]

But do you know what I'm talking about? The thing?

[B]

Yeah. She had it. They had it.

[A]

She's like eating a dog's life out of here. What the am I supposed to do with this?

[B]

Yeah, I was a chicken nuggets. Guy upper for brutal time. Yeah.

[A]

That take through all that skin and cartilage to get to some meat.

[B]

Huh? Chicken skin as a kid have my uncle or my grandfather. My grandfather. So every Thanksgiving we all met at. We'd all have our dinner at our respective houses. Then for like coffee and dessert, we'd go over to Aunt Patty's for when coffee and dessert.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

What's it Thanksgiving.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[B]

Right? So like everybody would eat at their. Because there's not nine of my mom. My mom's one of nine. So like everybody would do that.

[A]

And then you would do this when Joe was in the picture.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. My whole life up until like, up until probably through college.

[A]

No, it would just be you, you five or whatever.

[B]

It depend. No, there'd be more than that. Like maybe like another family would come over. Then we'd all like, my Uncle Mike might come over. Gotcha somebody. Then we'd all go to my Aunt Patty's together. But everybody. So all the houses would save their. The legs. The turkey legs for my grandfather because he liked the turkey leg. I remember just like the watt dude. As a kid watching a guy with like multiple turkey legs, I felt like he was in Braveheart. I was like, dude, this is like. It was so far for me to eat that dark, sloppy hanging meat with like, there's still feathers and shit on it.

[A]

Pop up's a hyena.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, dude, this guy's. I'm like, he's eating the shit that nobody else wants. Everybody, like, they would have eaten. I don't know. Just. It was like, everybody bring your turkey parts to pop Pop over here. I was like, no way. I was like six. Be like. And he'd take his dentures out and scare me.

[A]

Oh, man. Chicken in the 90s.

[A]

[B]

[A]

You go like even where bananas. Is that comedy club?

[B]

Yeah, it's a bump and ball. People go there and hang out.

[A]

They throw a fucking chicken Caesar at you. Turn your day around. There's chicks in there coming in and out. Business guys. That's a popping spot. I would love that.

[B]

I would love that. That's real. That's fucking awesome. I never had the opportunity.

[A]

There's never anything cool like that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The hotel bar at the Hilton, that's where you go and hang out.

[B]

That's awesome.

[A]

That's all right, man. It's trash. Of course. Yeah, but that's all right.

[B]

Is it trash?

[A]

Yeah. Come on. A hotel in your hometown

[B]

probably got they. Because they probably got pretty good deals on food like wings and stuff. That kind of stuff. They always do. What's wrong with it? I don't get it. The beers are never that expensive at like the. Those Hilton Garden Inns and shit. They're always like three, four bucks.

[A]

Bartender use a little personality.

[B]

Yeah. Sub Ross Clean, real clean. They don't smell like a fucking. They don't smell like a shitty bar when you walk into it.

[A]

Not to mention

[B]

go upstairs and jerk off.

[A]

No. A constant flow of.

[B]

I trot weary travelers.

[A]

Yeah. People coming in, out. You get to meet different people. Hey, we though we live here. You live here?

[B]

What?

[A]

That's funny. Go to the room. That's one thing.

[C]

Man.

[B]

That's weird with that.

[A]

Yeah. See if you. If we were at a hotel bar,

[B]

but they're going with their buddies where

[A]

you guys kept that even worse.

[B]

Also they got jazz. No, it's not. Then you're not. If you're going with your buddies, you're not going. Where are you guys from? You're fucking. You got your crew. If you're there hanging out by yourself, you got a lie. Yeah. Otherwise they're gonna think you're a serial killer. That how. That's how Bundy found his victim, is it? No, I think his were mainly sororities.

[A]

Broken down car. Right. And then his move.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

There's also some nice ones. That Rochester one we went to.

[B]

Oh, that was a great one.

[C]

And that was like. That was a hotel bar.

[A]

That's the Rochester Hotel. Right. What was the name of that joint?

[C]

It was like a Hilton.

[B]

Like it was like a Vanderbilt owned by or something. It was like a name, I think like that. Like an old fancy name.

[A]

I really painted my masterpiece in there that night. I really.

[B]

Did someone say you were a tough hang?

[A]

Nah, it was good hang that night.

[B]

Oh, you kept going. This bartender, the best bartender in the world.

[A]

Remember those chicks that were making fun of us out by the fire pit?

[B]

I think it was more making fun

[A]

of you, but yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Huh. That was. I remember that was. That older lady was kept bumming cigs off me and like just telling me her life story.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then my husband died. I'm like, ladies, I'm like cranking this thing to get back inside, you know, I'm over there.

[C]

Hello.

[B]

I'm smoking like McConaughey.

[A]

Yeah, that part was. That was. That was right when I discovered 1942 Don Julio. Man, crushing that. That went down smooth. I had like five different drinks that night.

[B]

I. I think it was 11. But yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Ran the galactic to run. I used to like to run the gamut. I have a margarita of a martini, glass of red wine, a beer. Why? Why? Yeah, sure. You live in a little bit.

[B]

Listen, I get that the. The hotel thing might be trashy. I think it's pretty fucking cool. Respect to it. That reminds me, in college, probably sophomore summer, going into junior year maybe. That sounds about right. Some are going into junior year. So we're 20, maybe 21. Maybe I'm 21. At the time. A girl who was dating like a loose friend of mine. Kid moved into my house. Nice kid, but he moved it. We weren't that close by. One friend who you knew. You met the good looking kid who's sober.

[A]

Sober, yeah. Yeah. He you're talking about. He's the loser.

[B]

No, he crashed out.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And had to move out of the house.

[A]

All right.

[B]

He dropped out mid semester.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Or mid year. So he had to find someone for the back half. So he got his boy who wasn't enrolled in college.

[A]

Sweet.

[B]

To move in and he moved in. His girl, who's very nice, but not. Moved her in.

[A]

But she was there a lot.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, why not? She's living at home. Her boyfriend's got a spot, you know,

[A]

with a couple of wimps.

[B]

Oh, man. He came in just talking about a strong arm and they were bringing their. They were bringing in these actual criminals.

[A]

You dogs sitting there. Listen to him nail her.

[B]

I think Flip had to share a room with them.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Flip was not.

[A]

What?

[B]

Yeah. Holy shit. Flip. At that point, crazy. Flip was like. Checked out. Flips like, I'm. Maybe he was staying with his girl.

[A]

Share a room.

[B]

Yeah, it was a. It was a three bedroom. There's four of us. I had my own room and another kid. The kid we didn't. The kid we hated the most had his own room.

[C]

You need that.

[B]

What?

[C]

The kid who you hate the most

[B]

has to have his own room because nobody wanted. I think we drew straws for it. And Flip was so mad.

[A]

So he was in there sleeping with a guy and his girlfriend in the next.

[B]

No, she wouldn't. Oh, they sleep like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, maybe she would sleep on the cat. Whatever. I forget the exact. I mean, no, Flip wasn't sitting in their cock chair. No, it wasn't that.

[A]

Keep it down. We're trying to make love over here.

[B]

No, it was like, she's coming down this weekend. And Flips like, Flip's girl went to another school, so it was like, maybe he would. At that point, me and Flip started.

[A]

Where was your girl?

[B]

Seeing other people? What? Canada.

[A]

She's in the army, right?

[B]

Serpent. There was a hand. Okay. They. Listen, the one. Does

[C]

getting with an ROTC chick.

[B]

Remember where. Where?

[A]

My girl's in the Coast Guard.

[B]

Remember? Freddie Mitchell in the National Guard? Oh, my God, those girls were so intimidating. I've never been, like, hard and scared by a girl twerking. I was like, what the Freddie Mitchell

[A]

hanging out with the color guard or everything. People that carry the flag.

[B]

I don't know who they. Oh, is that. Was that the game? I don't know who it was.

[A]

Yeah, I guess there was, like, one from the Coast Guard, one from the Air Force.

[B]

I never got rotc. Guys and girls hanging out with Air Force.

[A]

Yo, man, who's paying for these beers?

[B]

Yeah. I was like, what? Wow. We are.

[A]

Who?

[B]

What? Who else would be paying for the be.

[A]

Shout out to Freddie Mitchell legend.

[B]

No. So whatever. That girl. Her grandfather owned the restaurant that was closed.

[A]

Does the chick that the dude was dating.

[B]

Yeah, she owned a restaurant. Her. Her grandfather owned a restaurant that, like, they were open one day a week or something like that. So he was like, 100. And he's like, nobody wanted to take it over. So she somehow got the keys to this place.

[A]

Sweet.

[B]

And she's like, I'll open it up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for you. Like, and it would just be us.

[A]

No way.

[B]

Go sit at the bar. You could crank heaters in there. Because it was outside Philadelphia limits at that time. It was still, like, it hadn't fully. Only Philly was. No heaters.

[A]

Is that legal?

[B]

I don't know. It was fucking. But then every now and then, someone else, like, a couple of regulars would mosey in that heard, like, oh, they're open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays now. And they'd come in, and we'd just be fucking. There'd be 10 of us posted up drinking beers. Drinking beers. She would do, like, at that point, they had. They were just serving wings.

[A]

What? Really?

[B]

Yeah. So you're just like, that's awesome.

[A]

What are you bitching about?

[B]

I wasn't bitching about it.

[A]

You're bitching about this guy?

[B]

No, I didn't.

[A]

That chick's awesome. Cooler than you. You're lot.

[C]

Did she have to like work all the jobs though?

[B]

That's a good question. Come in.

[A]

She checks your coat.

[B]

I think she was doing a lot. I think there was probably a cook they were like keeping.

[A]

Who was paying for this?

[B]

We were with our beers.

[A]

Oh, you were buying beers?

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had to go and pay, but it was like, you know, beers like, you know, Coors Lights were. Or a bucket of beers was probably 10 bucks. Or like beers were two, three dollars. And at that point you're like two, three dollars. And listen, not everybody was 21 at the time.

[A]

How are the wings?

[B]

They're great. You get them and you want, hey, dump them back in there again, you know, fry them double hard. It's just fucking like, you know, Billy's back there dropping them. Yeah, we just had like running this place for like three months in the summer. And he's like, I think they were like, oh, I'm going to close in September, or whatever. I'll make it through the summer.

[A]

That's awesome.

[B]

Sick.

[A]

I love an empty out.

[B]

It. It also. It looked like. Where. Like the. What's. What's the bad guys from the Goonies.

[A]

The Fratelli.

[B]

Yeah, it looked like the Fratelli's house a little bit.

[A]

Oh, that place was.

[B]

It was like set back. It later. Later was closed due to flood damage, but it was set back on like a. Like a crick. And you had to like dry. It was like swampy. It looked like something from like, like New Orleans a little bit.

[A]

Gotcha.

[B]

And we were head. We're hanging in there, dude. Hanging. Hey, you know. Then you became boys with the regulars.

[A]

Heaters, a bucket of beer and chicken wings.

[B]

The fuck else.

[A]

The Kevin Ryan story.

[B]

My dad could see me now.

[A]

Holy shit.

[B]

Yeah. All right, let's see here. This one's from Devin. $10 patreon holder here for two years. How you doing? Thank you. Are you garbage? If you immediately tell the server at a group dinner who's on your check without being asked,

[A]

it's gonna be me.

[B]

Yeah, you know, us three on the same check. Those two are on the same.

[A]

You know how I feel about that. But family, man, you go out your family. Yeah, I get it, I get it, I get it.

[B]

I understand it. I just like.

[A]

Yeah, send it straight. Sure.

[B]

But that's also like you've either. I can. I can understand it and I cannot understand. I think I can understand it if you're like, these fucking guys are animal. They like try and put shit on your thing. They don't pay you back if you're getting out in front of it because the people you're with are animals. I get that. Of like these. I'm not fucking hunting him down for $22.99 or whatever. I. I can understand that, but I don't get it. If you're like. If you're the guy who's like, I know what anybody. I'm like, I. I'm. You know, if you're. I don't want you arguing over the chicken.

[A]

Yeah, I. I've really turned on that over. Over from being on the road, just from how much every time, same. You guys want the same checks. I think it's so easy to do it now.

[B]

But then I also go. It's so nor yet, I guess, on other systems. But it's also so normalized. We've been places where they go, like, they pull up. I've been places where they pull up like the thing on the iPad and go, okay, two separate checks.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

You had the toast. Yeah. They just like press, like the items you have.

[A]

Yeah. And you move it over.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, they're faking Oreos. What are we holding on to? It doesn't matter. Yeah.

[B]

I do get that. You stormed the front. You stormed the beat. That was your D day. Because that technology wasn't there to, like, no, go in and go. Okay, he had this, he had that.

[A]

And if it was like, fucking six NYU dental students when I worked at the waterfront of your house being fucking dickheads, trying to act like fucking cool guys, like, I'm a fucking jerk off and then. Or like being on dates and like, splitting the check or like going Dutch. Are you fucking this guy?

[B]

Mm. That bothered you?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

How often did you see that? Because that I feel like is such a faux pas of like, splitting the check on, like, an early date A lot.

[A]

A lot.

[B]

And you know they were on dates.

[A]

I knew they were on dates.

[B]

How'd you know?

[A]

I don't know. A guy knows.

[B]

Okay. A normal guy. Sure. You're rods and codes.

[A]

I knew they were on a date.

[B]

Ok. Yeah.

[A]

Or even if they were girlfriend and boyfriend, they would do it.

[B]

That I kind of get. If you're both in the struggle together. It's like if you both don't have that much money.

[A]

No, they do. These were rich kids.

[B]

So this is just like, perfectly your argument.

[A]

No, I'm just telling you they were rich kids. They were dead students.

[B]

I would Say, not all dental students.

[A]

I mean, what if had nice clothes and all that stuff? I could tell they came from money. I know people come from money. Look like. Okay, if I gotta elaborate for you, that's a lie. Anymore for you?

[C]

No, he's a guy who does not come from money.

[B]

Yeah, you also have money and your clothes suck. So what if. What if they don't have money and they just take care of their clothes?

[A]

I don't know. They all had, like, Chase Sapphire cards, stuff like that.

[B]

I think anybody can get those.

[A]

I remember this one guy's girlfriend yelled

[B]

at me because I Chase Sapphire card.

[A]

This one girl yelled at me because I took her. Her boyfriend's plate and she was still eating, like, what the fuck, bitch? Sick. The fucking 21 Club, honey. Fuck out of my face. She was mean to me, Luke.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

He just sat there like a pussy, too.

[B]

What did she say?

[A]

She said, I think it's incredibly rude that you take his plate when I'm not done. I was like, oh, shit. I'm sorry. They were fighting about something. His little dickers. I don't know.

[C]

I love when my girl stands up for me, though.

[A]

Standing up for you?

[C]

I don't know. Like, maybe he was like, I kind of want to finish those fries.

[A]

No, no, no. He was done, okay? And it was the kind of place where, you know, you're done, you take the plate away. Suck my dick.

[B]

And this is where your trauma comes from. You're a fucking psychopath. What fighting with people in your head do you haven't waited tables in a decade. Yeah, let it go, dude. You got fucking bigger fish to fry than fucking. Than what? Some fucking dental student who may or may not have money?

[A]

I remember one time.

[B]

I may or may not have a little dick.

[A]

One time, they were only happy hour. Prices were at the bar. And these fucking two dickheads came in and they sat down at a table and they ordered, like, nachos from me. And then they were going to the bar to get their beers. I was like, yeah, you can't do that. It was a whole big thing that I get. You get that.

[B]

Okay, that's way different than you.

[A]

But you're on my side.

[B]

Yeah, why wouldn't I be?

[A]

I don't. Well, a lot of reasons.

[B]

You pull up a scroll.

[A]

Not that will be named here publicly, but I would. I would. I don't know. I don't know where you lay in these days.

[B]

Good point, good point, good point. Hey, when big man's got a point,

[A]

big man's got a Point, Yeah. Straighten these two fucking dickheads.

[B]

That's not normal behavior.

[A]

Coming in scrubs and shit.

[B]

You getting mad at somebody who made a snap back, I'm. I'm okay with. But I would just say let it go, too. If they're at this point. Let it go. You can tell that? You can call her a dumb bitch to her face all you want, whatever. I get that she was a nice. But nobody, nobody sits down at a table and then orders beers like that. They knew what they were doing.

[A]

That's what I'm telling you.

[B]

I'd go do it, try it. But if you get caught, you have to go, oh, hand up. My bad. I didn't realize.

[A]

I say order from the bar and you can't sit at my table. I only had four tables up front to make my goddamn living. I had to score blow jamming me up.

[B]

Sure. It must have been a great waiter. Give you the four tables. Foley's on today. What can we give them?

[A]

I worked the whole joint. Somebody would come in later on at the front section, back section. I had a guy one time be like, man, it's amazing to watch you work the room.

[B]

Johnny really, really rested on those laurels. Since then. One guy complimented me once.

[A]

No, it was a lot of them.

[B]

No, no. First of all, no one says you're not personable. No one says you can't work a room.

[A]

I am personable.

[B]

I just said. No one says you're not. Oh, my God, you are dumb. People do say that. No one says you're not personable. No one says you can't work a room. Obviously.

[A]

Just stop.

[B]

You're an entertainer.

[A]

I stop after a little bit.

[B]

One. Yeah. Once people get to know you, that's. It's a pretty tough hang. Once that happens, once you win them over, you go, I got him.

[A]

We're talking about power grids. How'd this get over on me?

[B]

And then. No. But yeah, I would. I would also say you're not a fan. Tastic employee.

[A]

No.

[B]

As a waiter, you get. You're a good. You're a good. Your. Your tables like you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I would say the rest of the horrible. Your manager. You're not. You're not like, hey, any more work I can do for you guys? You know, pick up an extra shift here and there.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

Anybody need me to cover you? Hey, I dropped your food for. You're not that guy.

[A]

I'm lazy. Yeah. That's all side work. I eat a lot of shit. Yeah.

[B]

Doing whippets and a walk in. Yeah.

[A]

Sneaking drinks, stay after work, get all fucked up. Make a fool out of myself with some regulars. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. So maybe that. That's what the. You're a good. You can win a room. Obviously, the actual work.

[A]

Yeah,

[B]

but that's why. That's why they love you, Bug man.

[A]

Ah.

[B]

I'm not sure who they are, but I'm sure somebody. Couple guys out there like. Yeah, I'm joking. I love you, too, bud.

[A]

You love me?

[B]

Can you cut that? Oh, sorry. A little choked up over here.

[A]

People love me. They don't like me.

[B]

I told you that.

[A]

I get that.

[B]

I said that to you. 48 hours, so fuck up, boy.

[A]

What are you gonna do?

[B]

The boys are back, baby.

[A]

Yeah, we're back. Let's go. So split the checks if you want. That's what it started.

[B]

That's what the bottom line is.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yes, I do. Yes, I'm with that. All right. This one. This is from Clay. Longtime homie. Never had one read. Not a question, but I need you guys to get eyes on Maverick, AKA the Utah Wawa. Can you pull up Mavericks in Utah? Let's get eyes on that, please. That's a pretty badass name, going to Mavericks. Get a pack of Merits.

[A]

Hit me on the big screen if you can. Can you?

We've been to Salt Lake City.

[B]

And we just gooned out on a

[B]

Maverick dude, I like. I mean as much. Listen, I. We grew up going to Wawa's, eating a Wawa's, hanging out a Wawa. You go drunk, you go sober to breakfast. The whole nine yards they're in me. And then we're on the road so much that, like, we. We've learned, you know, the sheets is the fucking all the truck stop. The love. You learn all the loves. Love stinks, hate, but we fight, you know, we spend a lot of time in these places, eating at these places, figuring these places out so. To get something new that I never heard of that looks that nice. It's all right.

[A]

We should also revisit his sheets at some point. Yeah, I've never really given a sheets a fair shake, to be honest with you.

[B]

When we would do those shows in, was it like Pittsburgh or whatever with that guy who died?

[A]

Yeah, his stomach was all fucked up good.

[B]

Kid get stabbed a bunch or something.

[A]

He said, Earl.

[B]

Earl.

[A]

His family. His family made money in oil.

[B]

I don't know, like, money. His dad worked in Earl. I work at home and I working all. He took me to his sheets. It's the same thing as the double stuffed. I don't need mozzarella sticks on my cheeseburger.

[A]

I'm with you.

[B]

Give it to me straight up. Give me the high heat. Because then you go like, well, what? It's just like. You need some sort of restriction.

[A]

Simplicity.

[B]

Yeah. Give me this. I'll get a side of mozzarella. That's great.

[A]

I would argue the double stuff is simplicity, but that's just me.

[C]

Can't customize too much.

[B]

Thank you. Because then, like, it just the part of like, making something to me is like, oh, we go to Wawa because they have a good selection, right?

[A]

Tuner.

[B]

They have to do their stuff. Well, yeah. If you can start getting fucking crazy and be like, I want fucking this on this, on this, on this. It's just like, well, there's no limit to it. Then you're just like, the sky is the limit. Because you can make anything. And it's like, I get that, but I want to go to a place because what they offer is good tuna,

[A]

hoagie, American cheese, sweet peppers at the fucking door.

[B]

I'm not to say you can't get crazy and do this, hey, I put chips on a sandwich. I do all this. But it's like, yeah, you used to have to put chips on a sandwich because it wasn't offered. Now you go to a fucking New York bodega and they'll put the chips on a sandwich. It's like, you gotta do it yourself. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Also, I'm a fucking idiot. What do I know?

[A]

That's true.

[C]

Sheet sandwiches have you just adding stuff. Because then you get over your skis, you get what you added on, and you're like, on there.

[A]

Yeah, it's got a Gatorade on there.

[C]

You're adding a hash brown patty. You already put tater tots on it.

[B]

Deep fry.

[A]

They.

[B]

No, that's. That's where I'm at. There's like, there's got to be some sort of like, base level. This is. There's got to be some sort of ceiling to it. Because then, like, that was the fun of like, oh, dude, I get this and this and this. And I put my own mozzarella stick on the sand like, you're crap, but seems unholy. I'll tell you who ain't doing that. Those fucking Mormons down there at Maverick. They fucking throw holy water at you. Try that shit.

[A]

Spent a week in purgatory.

[B]

Uh huh. All right, let's see. We can do one. We got time for one more here.

[A]

Hit me, hippie.

[B]

This is very on the, man. There's a lot of good transactions. What are they called, Segways here?

[A]

That's how we operate.

[B]

This is from Squid the Kid. Great name.

[A]

Squid the Kids.

[B]

All right, when you. That's a fucking sweet name, dude. When you were younger and your parents said they were going to the store, what store were they generally talking about? Wow, that's a great question.

[A]

The grocery store, which was Gennardi's or it was shop. Right. When we first got down to when I was a kid, it was Sunshine Market in Wilkes Barre. Don't get me started. Going with my aunt Mary Catherine of Sunshine. And then sometimes in Sulaco's, it was another one of her grocery stores.

[B]

That fucking Czechoslovakian hitman.

[A]

That was a legendary trip. Going shopping with her and my Uncle Red as a little kid was. Was awesome. The Lunch meat and all that stuff. Go home. She'd hit you with a ham and cheese sandwich.

[B]

You just like listed things. Lunch meat. Go home. Like a home.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Open the door.

[A]

Boiled ham and cheese. Fucking butter on the bread. Oh, man. A glass bottle of Coke. Not getting those days back, hippie.

[B]

Nope. And you're still reaching for them.

[A]

Yes, I am. But yeah, it would be. It would be in bluebell. It would be either be Shoprite or going to. I'd say Gennardi's. Yeah, go to the store.

[B]

Ours was super fresh.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And if you win, because Wawa, you would have to say, I'm going to Wawa. Because they. At that time, yeah, very limited selection compared to like, I'm going to the store. Wawa at that time was more of like a market. It was more of a deli and a market. They weren't gas station shit.

[A]

Like, yeah, Wawa's place. I'm going to Wawa.

[B]

What do you need? I'm going to Wa. I'm not going to the store. I'm going to Wawa. So, like, I can get you, you know, we can get one roll of paper. Thousand. I can't get you tied or whatever.

[A]

Going to the grocery store. I'm going to the store. It was always stressful.

[B]

You know what's crazy angst at fucking. At Wawa's in the greater Philadelphia area, they don't sell pork roll.

[A]

Huh.

[B]

They serve. They have bacon there, like in the cold, like, refrigerated section with like.

[A]

No, they have pork roll in the sizzlies.

[B]

I know, but they don't sell like a pack of pork roll. Oh, I saw a pack of bacon. You got a pack. You got pork roll here.

[A]

Yeah, it's true.

[B]

I saw them making a whole thing of sizzling. They were putting them on a tray. They were all little, pretty little ladies, all in a row. They were all flipped up. This guy taking his time doing them, right?

[A]

You're standing there.

[B]

I'm standing there going, don't do it, you fat, so don't you do it. And then he pushed a cart right by me as I'm filling up my coffee.

[A]

Oh, wait, freshies coming out.

[B]

I had to do it. Whoa.

[A]

I never seen that.

[B]

Didn't tell my wife.

[A]

I wonder if you know what time you can get there when the. When the fresh sizzlies come out.

[B]

I think it depends on. Depends on how much market. Market demand at the moment.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because they dry up at that case up front, which I don't want.

[B]

You get them the perfect dryness.

[A]

Oh, I like it. But when you get in there and

[B]

they're all gone, you gotta get them ripe.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. You gotta get in there like 6:30 in the morning, get them fresh.

[B]

All right, we gotta wrap it up. What a fun one, huh?

[A]

Gang, grab your tickets to see us on the road. Yes. Grab some merch. We got brand new merch out there. Beautiful merch, fantastic merch. Check it out. What else?

[B]

That's it.

[A]

All right, See you. Goodbye.
