Ten episodes in.

What started at a Circle K in Jacksonville stocking the beer cave, hiding out in the bib room with no cameras, surviving power outages, and dealing with absolute chaos somehow turned into an eight year friendship and a podcast.

In this milestone episode of Dial Tone we finally tell the real origin story.

We talk about how we met working opposite shifts, how a random cigar night turned coworkers into real friends, and how Taco went from overnight stocker to assistant manager while Ant mastered the art of doing just enough to not get fired until he got fired anyway over an ice cream machine complaint after getting away with way worse.

We get into gas station life in full detail. Wild customers. Bathroom horror stories. Soda syrup wars in the cooler. Getting high on third shift. Dating coworkers. Disappearing for years. And the “I’m in the lobby” text that restarted everything.

Underneath all the chaos this episode is really about unlikely friendships, race and age gaps, distance, rock bottom moments, rebuilding, and how honesty is what actually made the friendship stronger when life got real.

Episode 10 is funny, reckless, reflective, and way deeper than a gas station story should be.
