I think it's his third time or fourth time on the show.
Very funny stand-up comedian.
Accomplished author.
Random House author.
All right?
It's going to be over in the UK and May.
He's going to be in Australia in July,
but we got them right here at Toadies.
Give it up for the one the only.
Mr. Sam Tallinn, everybody.
Hey, man.
Man, you really fired it up for that one.
Yeah, man.
I can turn it on when I need to.
Yeah, you were like morose when I got here.
It's like someone hits a lot.
would have shot a beef pillow.
Fucking jumps right.
You were like Dominique Wilkins from the free throw line.
I had a craft singles in the bathroom.
Oh, is that what that rapper sound was?
Juice me up a little bit.
I go yellow, not white.
Hey, no one accused you of anything else.
Man, that white, you guys love the white, that fake provolone shit.
I do.
Growing up, that white was, even in Philly, too, it was always white.
New York's more yellow.
Yeah, never had yellow cheese growing up.
Except for Alveda.
I always thought the white stuff was like, oh, maybe one day if I save up.
Sure.
I think it's all the same price, right?
I don't know.
There's a different flavor, too, from the craft yellow singles to the craft white singles.
The craft white singles have a little bit of a sweeter finish to it.
They're tangy and they melt better, which I appreciate.
Luke, get me a price point on a 16 pack of white and a 16 pack of yellow.
They got to be the same.
It's a couple of singles over here.
He has a couple of free samples.
He said I could have whatever I want.
Slice thin
If you're going to make
Like a like a like a like a like a like a like a meat cheesy
Beefy sandwich I think that white cheese is superior
Of course
That's that was always even the fancy chefs will say that
That American cheese is the best for for for cheeseburg
Talk to a lot of fancy chefs to you
Yeah I do
Rubbing elbows.
Yeah that's right.
Okay
Michelin star
It's not just elbows
This guy's getting the best table yeah
Buddy
Congratulations
We just reset the show thanks for tuning in gang
Congratulations

Same to you guys.
I love following everything that you do.
And before we get into the questions that we have from the homies there, I just got to say again, you're never home.
You're always moving.
Yeah.
You're moving and you're shaking.
I see you here.
I see you there.
I've lost some weight.
Yeah.
You look fantastic.
It came in with a nice bright orange jacket like Hunter orange.
Beautiful.
I just came from the deer blind.
When's the last time you were in Japan?
I get hung up on.
I feel like you're in Japan every other weekend.
Very well-traveled you are.
I like it out there in the world.
The world's beautiful.
It's nice.
Also, hey, to your listeners, the cherry blossoms are in bloom across this country.
Get out there and see them right now.
Of course.
Yeah.
I was in Japan Christmas until I was there for like 16 days at the beginning of the year.
How many times is that?
This was my third time in Japan.
That's crazy.
Like the last two years.
I did take my dad.
I took my sister, my brother-in-law.
It was awesome.
My brother-in-law?
I don't know if I should tell this story.
But anyway, we had a really good time.
Let's just say they're pretty stringent about who they let it.
Oh.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
No kidding.
Oh, man, they do not like to open their doors to anyone with a murky pass.
Someone who made mistakes as a youth.
It's not just fault, you know?
No kidding.
It's a product of the system.
What do they do when they see you over there?
You're a tall gentleman.
They go like this.
They get in one of those big nets.
Yeah, they move three of the crates that everyone's sitting on the side,
and they bring in one big beanbag chair.
Is that a problem for you?
Because that is a tighter, it's close quarters over there.
problem for me most places.
I'm not even dumping over there.
Oh, man.
Standing up.
In the alleyway.
I'm like Andre the Giant.
I'm squatting in a fucking bathtub.
Talk about Fugoshima.
Yeah, I have to throw the sheets away.
I've always said you are the mix of trash and class because you go over there and like, you know, obviously you're shit in a bathtub.
But then also you're taking time to send us self-handwritten postcards.
Oh, yeah.
Which is very nice.
No one's doing that.
Yeah.
He's an old soul.
He's got a good fucking good head on.
on his shoulder. Classy. I think about you guys
a lot just because your
rise was very close
to when I was kind of ascending. Yes, we were
both our trajectory is very similar.
And I feel like no matter what happens, I'm
always going to be stoked to see you guys. I love it.
You know, you can't bury something that came from the dirt.
You know? Damn.
Fucking.
I heard a special team. This guy's got away with words.
I heard a special teams player on the Saints say that when they didn't
cut him.
See? He'll drop shit like that,
but he's like, they didn't cover the overs.
Wasn't that Triple H?
You mean Hunter Hurst-Hel.
He refers to AAA's as Hunter-Helmsley.
Dude, I literally take my financial advice from Mick Foley.
I heard Mick Foley recently.
That's not good.
Maybe it is.
What do you got?
Put all your money in flannels.
Buy barbed wire now.
Fluorescent lights.
Smash them.
He said it's not what you make.
It's what you save, brother.
That's good.
Of course.
So I bought a house.
There you go.
Did you buy a house?
Yeah, out there near Detroit.
Is that what you did?
Huh?
Look at you.
My wife's from there.
It's like, dude, we couldn't buy a nice house in Denver.
But in Detroit, we can own this beautiful home.
Sure.
And you're going to keep it?
You're not like flipping it or anything like that?
No, no.
Dude, what am I?
I don't have the energy.
I don't give a shit to try and make $60,000 on a huge hassle.

Talk about a leader in the pack.
If you guys came over, you would love the ham.
But what did you know?
Buddy, trust me.

What's the yard situation
Who's cutting the grass?
We have a service.
You have a service.
Everything that I can streamline into not having to do anything.
I have a salarium in the house.
What's a salarium?
It's a glass room.
Whoa.
Yeah, it's like a human.
I think it meant like a deli.
I wish.
No.
Are they called?
That's in the basement.
We have one of these?
Yeah, salarium.
Whoa.
Yeah, and I write in that room.
I sit in this big chair and I write.
It smells different than the rest of the house probably, right?
Yes, it does.
Because it smells like me getting skin cancer.
Ah.
Because I'm sitting in a greenhouse.
Yeah, it is.
And then my wife comes in and she says,
where's your sunscreen?
And I say,
knock next time.
Wait, you got to,
that's pretty sweet.
It's awesome.
It overlooks the backyard.
How many bedrooms is it?
Four.
Four bedrooms.
How many bathrooms?

That seems.
In the powder room.
Lopsides.
It's downstairs.
It's a jewel box right next to the kitchen.
Oh.
Yeah, I got one of them too.
I can't poop in there.
I can't poop in there.
I wish I could.
The sink is right in your face.
Dude, it's like when we got the house.
It's like an airplane.
It's exactly like an airplane.
Yeah.
And I have to go side side.
saddle if I must use it.
If my sister and my wife were upstairs in the good bathroom, putting their ointments on.
As women tend to do it.
Why's your sister there?
It's my house.
She's allowed to pop in.
She's getting so many questions.
Does she live near you?
No, no, but she comes out.
Seven hours away.
Yeah.
Comes over to put her ointment on.
She's been hitching, you know.
Is that true?
No.
She could be.
My sister.
What's the last time you hitchhiked?
You got a bit of a hitcher face?
My dad had his hitchhiking a lot as a kid.
Jesus.
Yeah, because he had this old of,
Volkswagen magic bus and it would break down.
And then we would just have to like hitchhike home all the time.
Yeah.
I mean,
a long way to a salarium and some ham.
Kids on the come up.

I brought my whole family to Disneyland like two weeks ago.
I was just crying the whole time because of how proud I was.
Are you putting the bill for that whole thing?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, y'all.
Let's fucking go, Sammy.
It's crazy.
Well, who is the whole family?
And your dad, your sister?
No, no.
It's extended.
So, no, it was just my sister-in-law and then my niece and my wife.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Yeah, so I flew them out from Michigan.
And then we went to Disneyland, and it was like, I was just like,
sunglasses on, just watching my niece eat churros, just sobbing, just wiping tears.
I was watching them like I was the only person in an art party that knew I had terminal cancer.
I had a secret
And I'm taking it to the grave
Get another chiro
I can't take it with me
Can't take any of this
You got Mickey ears on
You're crying your eyes out
Dude for real
Yeah
I had a big goofy movie tank top on
And I was just weeping
This is your wife's sister's daughter
Right
And that's where we moved to Detroit
Was to be closer to them
Okay
And yeah
Now I just got this little insane
Half Lebanese girl
Who is like the apple of my eye
She dude
Someone in our party
I'm not gonna say who
I've been told not to say who.
Sure.
But someone in our party, an adult went up to, we went to the Bippity Boppy Boutique and Disneyland.
I'm well aware.
I don't know it.
You can get the princess experience.
Okay.
And they get turned into a princess and there's tears, though.
For Young Brods.
I've never been to Disneyland.
I've been to Disney World.
That is the gentleman's choice.
Yes.
Yes.
But we were like, she's not going to remember it anyway, so we're not going to go Disney World.
Okay.
But yeah, there was a little girl there who was getting dressed up as a princess.
And one of the adults in our party went up and went,
oh my God, you're so beautiful.
Mulan and then the little girl
went, I'm Snow White and I went
because she was just Asian
Sure.
Yeah.
But there's like a holding pen where you can watch
the princesses get their makeup done.
That's weird.
I know.
It's a little weird.
It's just a room full of little girls being like,
you know, be dazzled.
And I'm standing there with all the grandmas and the moms
and I'm just weeping.
And after like five minutes,
are just like, like ugly crying.
Like fucking Clint Eastwood.
Everyone's slowly walking away from him.
No, no.
They were getting more inquisitive.
And then the bravest one finally went,
do you know one of the princesses?
Please don't know you know one of the princesses.
They're all just so hot.
What the fuck?
You're not the ogre here to kidnap her?
They're all my princesses.
They'll all eat ham in the basement.
I'll cover you in a sack, too.
Yikes.
He's cleaning his knife.
Yeah.
All right, easy does.
Quit screwing around.
One question for, one.
question back to the house. What would you say the classiest thing in the house? Could be the
salarium or and the trashiest. Trashiest thing would have to be the, the ham, right? Or is there
something where you're like, that's a problem? I got to get it. You can't say the ham. I can't say
the ham. Next to the ham then. Is there something your wife wants out? Like, I can't believe
you brought this. Our dishwasher smells like a ferret cage. Really? Yeah. I don't know what's
going on. Why don't you get a new one? We did. We got and this the second one and it still reeks.
Oh, that's a bad pipe. But I can't smell it because of years of, you know, abuse.
Sure.
So I'm like, it smells good to me, you know.
Do you have well water?
What do you have?
We have good water.
We're like very, we're very close to one of the lakes.
Okay.
Yeah, so we have like really solid water.
All right.
So it's not the water system in the house.
No, no, no, no.
It's probably like the, what, the fucking sanitary.
Like all this shit, all the water.
That's like.
Are you rinsing your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher?
Interesting question.
I am now.
Uh-huh.
But I, but forever I wasn't.
No kidding.
I thought it was a complete fool's errand just a waste of my pressure.
time.
You got to clean that trap out.
Nothing's better than, yeah, you got to clean that trap out.
Yeah.
There's nothing's worse than opening a clean dishwasher and still being kind of dirty.
I know.
Like, it was all for not.
But if...
I'm two hours behind where I could have been.
I would rather put in a dirty dish and then there's a little bit of schmutz on it still.
I'd rather take it out and then wipe it off as opposed to sitting there in the kitchen
for two seconds.
I know, yeah.
I know, yeah.
I'm big on this is a pretty dirtbag move.
Let's say I kind of half know that the dishwasher's clean, but it's not full.
if I have a dirty dish, I'll put it just, I won't unload it.
I'll put it in there with the clean dishes and run that back.
Okay.
I'll run it again.
You'll do a whole full load except for one new addition?
Yes.
That's nuts.
Yeah.
Out of laziness of not taking, I'm not going to empty the dishwasher.
If there's still room in there, I'll just put what can go in there and run it again.
I mean, I've done similar things.
So I can't really, we're all in glass houses here.
Some would say a salarium.
You have a ferret in your dishwasher.
You guys know Nick Roche.
I know the name maybe
He was, he's one of Sam Hyde's buddies
He was in Million Dollar Extreme
Okay
I met him at Skangfest
Was delighted
He runs this antique store
Chamonee house out of Rhode Island
Okay
So he's, I went to his house
And he has this couch there
Did I tell you guys about this couch already?
No
Dude, he got me a couch
For a fucking steal
He got you a couch
He went to this big time
I sat in this couch
And I was like this is nice
And he's like I got a guy
Like a new plate
Like it was like a you went to like a whatever
Timothy Olten
Which is like a high
High class
Get eyes on that.
Leather goods.
And I got this couch, white Bianco leather, and I got it for 60% off.
White leather couch?
I know.
Is it new or is it antique?
Too big to fail.
Is it a new couch or an antique?
But there was like one gouge in the back of it.
So he got it for like 60% off.
I get it in the house.
I'm like, honey, this is the most expensive thing I've ever purchased.
It's a nine grand.
What?
The most money I've ever spent on anything.
Yeah, that was after 60%.
After 60.
Holy shit.
I've never disclosed the number.
It brings me deep shame.
I know.
Good for you.
Guess where it is now?
Trash.
In the basement near the ham.
What?
It's been relegated.
Why?
It's not comfy.
Ah.
Those rich people don't like being comfortable.
Yeah, they want to sit like this.
Yeah, go over and look over their files.
They have Luke posture.
I know, yeah.
Luke's probably sitting on one of those.
Timothy Olivanchairs right now.
He's probably sitting on one of those sex pairs right now.
You need a nice Raymore and Flanagan sectional with the cup holders in it.
That's what you need.
And the automatic.
And the USB.
rechargers, you can plug in and scroll while you're there.
I will never have cup holders in a piece of furniture that I have.
Why not?
I think that that really filled me with a horror.
That's the way to go.
I understand, but I'm trying to create a vibe in the house.
And it's not cup holder.
Ham and ferrette smell.
What are we doing here?
Look, man, I'm Blade.
I can't get a picture in this house, dude.
This salarium, the ham.
You must come over.
Hit me up.
I was just in Detroit.
I know.
I wasn't there.
I know, I looked.
I was going to pop in on your happy asses.
Because he's a role.
He's always everywhere, you know, and I'm like, oh, we could cross paths at some point.
I was going to pop in.
I was not.
We were in Pontiac, Michigan.
Shut up to it.
Yeah, where the Silver Dome used to be.
That's right.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
So the cow, now to where did you get the new couch?
My wife went over to my friend David Bory, a very funny comedian, and he's a plus-sized gentleman, and she saw how well he was doing in his couch.
She did
Sounds like it's a rehab center
My wife's always scanning
Dude
She had him lay down
Sit down
Eat on the couch
On his belly
Not
Yeah
It's tummy time
She's standing on the other side
Of a two-way mirror
Watching them
My co-host or my pod
Show me be he with Nathan Lund
And my buddy Pat
Who makes Wide World
Our travel show
They're both big men
And they came to our house
Yes
And my wife hit me up
And she's like
Hey you guys having fun
And I was like
Yeah
And she's like
Hey just make sure
You rotate him on the couches
And I was like, what?
And she's like, yeah, I don't want Lund leaving a dent and Pat leaving a dent.
So make them, like, move around.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Like, that's how concerned she is with these couches.
Yeah.
I, we got back from the road, and I had all weekend by myself, kind of.
And, man, I put it dent.
And the couch does not have the same spring it had on Friday as it did this morning when I woke up.
Yeah, it sucks.
Because you're sitting there and you're like, man, I love this where I live.
I love that this is my couch.
I go outside in the morning with my coffee and I look at the flowers and I say that's my fucking flower.
I do the same thing.
You know, but then you're in that couch and you're just like, oh no, the contours of my body have ruined this nice thing.
Yes.
Yeah.
Man, fat people are gross.
Amen, sister.
They should be in camps.
I think Ben Stiller made a movie about that.
Sure.
Yeah.
Heavy weights.
And then you just did it again and dodgeball.
Same guy.
Similar.
Well, right, yeah, Globo Jim.
Very similar.
How deep does this thing go?
White Goodman, yeah.
Very.
White Goodman.
Yeah.
You ever see those Instagram reels where they connect different characters and different movies?
Yeah.
And they try to make it like all the same person.
Like they say Dan Aykroyd in the Great Outdoors is the same character.
He is in Tommy Boy.
He just like assumed a different identity than went to Chicago and started up in automotive parts and then became this.
And there's a couple more things in there.
Yeah, in between the two movies, he hit a kid with his car and had to dry out.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Did that really happen?
No, no, no.
We're riffing.
I feel like that did happen with, but no, no, no, totally not.
I feel like Sam ran somebody over.
Luke got it.
All we found with little pieces of ham.
And they were rotten.
They smelled like propane.
Can only be one person.
We're looking for the Guantale bandit.
I love Guantchalai.
You give me that neck meat.
Who doesn't?
I'm happy.
My wife hates it.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
What does she like that you eat?
Uh, pussy.
I eat that.
She loves lentils.
She's always trying to eat new garbonzo beans.
Yeah.
Lentals.
She's going to live forever.
There you go.
She's going to leave a real hot body after I'm dead.
Some 19-year-old CNN.
Oh, yeah.
She got the couch.
Will that couch go up in value?
I doubt it.
Not after what me and my crew were doing to it.
We're pressure testing it down there.
Is that where you hang out is the basement?
Is that your turf?
I do my projects down there.
There's a room in our house where me and my niece are allowed to just like paint on the walls and go crazy.
Whoa.
Yeah, yeah.
That's cool.
I was like, Emmy, I need a room where I can fuck it up.
And then she was nice enough to give me the two sinks next to the dishwasher.
And they're just wrecked with paint and like, yeah.
She's been very big about 40 square feet of this house.
She's been very generous with.
How many fridges you got in this place?
We only have one.
One fridge.
Brand new fridge.
It's awesome.
It's crushed ice.
Open up the open up this way?
Yeah, this way.
Nice.
Okay.
And then people.
People just keep bringing me hash, so there's like a whole, like...
What?
Well, it's Detroit, so people will bring me hash all the time.
Why?
Is hash big in Detroit?
The Lebanese influence on Michigan has made the hash, like, the best in the world.
Huh.
Yeah, I know.
I'm learning all this.
Gyros ain't bad.
I didn't even know there's a Lebanese influence.
Yeah, Dearborn, where my wife's from is, like, the number one...
Lebanese.
Just Muslim population in America.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It's got to be per capita.
Probably per capita, yeah.
I bet Queens.
I'm not sure what that is, but yeah.
I don't know.
I think Luke's got to count on everyone.
one of them. He knows where they are.
Queens is big. I hear to call to prayer every
day. Do you? Yeah? God, that called
a prayer, man. I was staying in Paris one time where they had a
call to prayer and just wakes you up at the fucking sun.
You're like, oh, I'm glad everyone's
praying. I hear the church bells too.
Yeah. Very diverse. My neighborhood
in Queens. Yeah. It's a beautiful
place. Get whatever you need. Hamtramick's similar
in Detroit, where it's like all of them.
You got every one of them. Sure. Yeah.
You can get a Yemeni coffee and you can get fucking
parogis. Yeah. And boy,
The toilet, you need two toilets for that one.
One and a half bath ain't going to help you there.
No, you need an old priest and a young priest.
Talk about riding side saddle.
Yikes.
You'd throw the saddle away.
You need to put the toilet down.
They sent it to the glue factory.
All right.
Okay.
Let's get to some cues.
Yeah, God forbid we just keep having fun.
I know, right?
Guys, as you know, when you're doing the old Patreon,
we will answer your garbage question on the air.
A couple of big boys on the air.
this episode, myself included, from all the toast, ever wait at the buffet for something
to be restocked?
Oh, crab legs.
Oh.
Just there fucking boxing out old Chinese women.
Of course.
I'm fucking Rodman in the paint, dude.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yep.
I remember at the cafeteria in college, that was a big waiting for them.
They would drop pizza.
And I love bad pizza.
Yeah.
And man, it was such bad.
I would just fucking circle.
I'd be like looking at the fruit.
Try to act cool like you're hanging out.
It's going on.
You guys going to the party later?
What's up, ladies?
There is an etiquette where you're, like, circling,
waiting for whatever, the crab legs in my instance to come.
And you just, like, you keep looking at the jello squares.
Like, well, this guy really wants to know how many fucking jello squares are in there.
You feel like a fat idiot if you were just standing there.
You're like, I'm doing something.
You know if they're putting out the protein shake soon?
You guys know what's going on with them?
You guys give out tea shots?
That's why I'm here.
Even fatter move, they bring you to your table.
And then you kind of like, you think we could get this table?
and it's the one closest to the crab legs.
Oh.
Yeah, so you position yourself in the vicinity of what you want.
Smart.
I've done that.
Location, location, location.
Any good Realtor worth their salt, I'll tell you that.
I lived in Vegas when that shooting happened.
And it was all hands on deck.
The city came together to donate blood.
And at the casino by us, if you donated blood, you got a free buffet coupon.
So, boy, howdy, was I donating blood.
You were down to 140 pounds.
Oh, yeah, I was putting a mustache on, I had a monocle.
Just sucking them dry.
Yeah.
The translucent man is back.
Hey, that jellyfish guys here?
It's a shame what they did.
Can see the crab legs in your stomach.
Vegas strong.
Holy shit.
I don't know you lived in Vegas.
I did.
Look at this guy.
That's how we knew the fucking Dan Cortez Casino.
Yeah, yeah.
From Mr.
Which you did.
I never brought it up to you.
I don't think I did.
Did one of the tragediest things I ever saw.
Me?
At the black, no, he did.
At the blackjack table.
I respect it and I've been there.
Yeah.
But it was just like, I mean, we were at the blackjack table.
It was me, you, Foley.
I forget who else.
Maybe Tommy.
Tommy Pope maybe.
Yeah, Tommy Pope.
And so we're there.
We're having a fucking day.
It's, I mean, night at this point.
You know, we're laughing.
We're screaming.
We're having a good time.
Beers go, like, we're fucked up.
Sig.
Cig.
Crushing eaters.
And I needed.
I think Tommy was on something as well.
Yeah.
He was fucking Molly Cyrus.
that evening.
I don't think it was Tullymore 2.
No.
He was the pink pony club.
Is that what that is?
Got up for the pink pony club.
Who's that chapel roan?
Yeah.
See, I know what's going on.
But I needed a SIG.
Were you smoking menthols at one point?
American Spirit, Dark Green.
Yeah, and I bummed one off a mat.
This is at like 3 a.m.
Yeah, you were cross-side.
I'm a hundred Sigs deep already on the day.
This is gang fest.
We are fucked up.
And you're a bit of a handful at the tables, too.
You have a way of talking to people
That scares Sam
Thank you
I've heard
You mouthed off to the dealer
And fully grabbed my leg
On the table
Wow, see?
You've been fucking
calling me a liar
And an asshole
I never called you a lie
I called you a dirt bag
All this time
Finally I got somebody to back me up
This guy don't know
He's got him in his house
You made me flinch
By the way you talk to these professionals
Yeah
So what was the gross thing I did
No I
You bummed me a sing
Yeah.
And then I couldn't, I couldn't get it down.
I mean, I'll do the American spear a menthol.
That's like an IED.
Yeah. In the wee hours of the night.
Stepping on a fucking booby trap.
That's a red dot on your forehead.
Oh, man.
And I start going, like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like getting the hiccups.
The cold sweats hit you?
Dude, that queasy feeling in your stomach.
It's like you got the bends.
Yeah, it's like you just surfaced.
I got to go sit in the chamber.
Man.
Holy shit.
Somebody hit you with a menthol.
Yeah.
A menthol in the wild is a tough one.
Dude, and I'm like, it's, like, thick when you're blowing it.
It feels like you can feel it leaving your teeth.
Yeah.
And I go, I remember putting it out, like, clothes in my eye.
I mean, like, I can't.
I can't.
But he goes, what do you do?
And that's still good.
He took it out of the ashtray and put it in his pack.
Yeah.
I'm going to act like this didn't happen.
Man, that thing stinks.
I get it.
You can't bury something that's from the dirt.
I mean, do you remember back in the day being super porn,
like hanging out in front of movie theaters and just taking snipes?
Yeah.
I had like a Ziploc bag full of snipes for like three years.
Snipes?
For three years?
Yeah, and I would just have snipes.
And then if you didn't have any sigs,
you just roll them in Bible paper and you had sigs.
I was going to throw up.
Well, hey, man.
I was trying to live, you know?
Either get busy living or get busy dying.
Yeah, you don't need to sleep when you're dreaming all the time.
I just remember being like that move at that time.
I was just like, that's crazy.
If you smoked it right then and there.
Yeah, you were like, I'll take it, but it went back in the pack.
Yeah.
Well, it was also, we were real thin on SIGs.
I was out of SIG.
He was probably, I was, if I'm smoking an American Spirit Menthol at 3 a.m.
That's the only SIG available.
So you were probably down to like, I got three or four left.
I'm going to need them.
I'm a Dust Bowl farmer at that point.
You're just torching my crops.
But boy, do you want some wheat tomorrow.
Yeah, it was.
Rain won't grow out here.
Do you remember when we were at that table?
and that fucking like psycho honey guy that beekeeper dude just took a chair from our friend and we were like hey man like he's sitting here and he's like looks like i'm sitting here
no we just sat at the table with this guy that none of us wanted to be around because we wanted our buddy to be there he was a nice guy
but it was like i just remember like he was a beekeeper i think he was i think he ran an apiary or something
i don't even know i mean it totally could i could have been the dealer a one thing you were a little molly chanahan
i could have been yelling at myself yeah you were in a mirror
Hit!
You ugly, bold piece of shit!
Your mother never loved you, Kippie!
Yeah, man.
But yes, I have staked out a buffet.
For sure.
Fair enough.
This one's just funny.
This is for Mac, $10 homie.
Are you garbage if clean out the garage,
you find your social security card?
That's, I mean.
Do you know where yours is at the moment?
No.
Oh, I do.
My dad hasn't.
Just in case?
Yeah.
I have my passport.
I know my number.
Okay.
When do you need your social security card?
Yeah, find out what the need for a social security card is anymore.
Yeah, it's like getting a birth certificate.
We were also at the, I'm of the age where it was like, you had it.
You had it like, we took it to like when you applied for a job.
It was like bring your social security card.
I never needed it once.
As like a teenager, yeah, you would need it to prove who you were, I guess for tax purposes maybe.
It's funny because I have to show mine at the buffet when I go.
Yeah, I have to make sure you're not two people.
You're not three guys in a trench coat
Yeah
Hey are you really ageful
You're just three guys in a Hawaiian t-shirt
What I am is a paying customer
Pay no never mind to that
Yeah no I always thought you like had to have your social security card
Like hidden my mom kept it
Yeah
Like
Mine's hidden right now
Safe of some kind
Mine is
I don't know where it is exactly
But every time I'm cleaning out
Something that is like a safe
Whether it's in like my sock drawer like a box in my sock drawer
or something in a filing cabinet.
It is in a safe place somewhere.
I just don't know where it is.
The last time I had to use it was probably for my wife's green card.
Like when we got married, I had to...
As yours all fucked up.
Yeah.
Dude, I used to keep it in my wallet at that time.
In college, I think I had it on me.
At one point, mine was laminated, and then my mom tried to use it for something,
and they said they couldn't accept a laminated card.
So now mine's, like, ripped and destroyed.
I was going to say, can you unlaminate something?
She did, I remember.
Not well, really.
She had to steam it.
I remember her, like, standing, like, over...
Like, remember when you would...
Play football.
Did she from catch me if you can?
That's crazy.

I would leave mine undone.

They didn't say anything to you?

Put your chin strap on.
Yes, sir.
I can't get a demaric because I want to be all league again.

Oh, it was like the tough guy move, like no chin strap.
No kidding.
Yeah, it is a tough guy move.
Yeah.
I don't know who it was for.
I don't think any.
CTE move too.
For sure.
Yeah.
My brain's bad.
So you end up wandering around a buffet.
Yeah.
Waiting for the crab legs.
I don't know.
Sam's sundowning again.
He thinks there's crap legs.
Sam, that's a car dealership.
I'm just nodding
We used to
We didn't have to wear them
And we played hockey
And then one year they made you
It was like I guess
I don't know statewide or whatever
It was like all kids have to wear it
So everybody cut them just to show here
It just covered your front two teeth
And wasn't in the back
Oh okay
So you were like faking it
Now I always wanted to have mine in
Because I didn't want to
Because I got hit a couple of times
And it you can bit down on your teeth
Yeah
It hurt like a motherfucker
Yeah God forbid your jaw moves
Backwards on the hinge
Yeah.
That made me throw up.
Yeah.
I don't want to fuck my teeth up.
That in the cup I always wore.
I never wore a cup once.
Yeah.
I got hitting the balls with a lacrosse ball.
Lacrosse would make sense.
Projectile sports makes sense.
But yeah.
And I remember, dude, like, just grabbing people's sacks.
No kidding.
Oh, yeah.
During the game or after.
Getting in the armpid hair.
Like, if you were on for like, like, P.A.T.
And the kids are going up to block it, you grab their armpit hair and yank it out.
They're never going up again.
Jesus Christ.
Uh-huh.
How kind of football are you playing?
Although my uncle who played for Villanova in the 70s
Told me that they used to take shave points
The fix was in
I was sick that day
He's the kickery smoking
He's his shoes on the wrong feet
I don't know if this was in high school
It's all black and white
But I remember I'm telling me a story
That they used to take a bottle cap
And they would pinch it
You know like put it in
Yeah
And they put it in their sock
And when they got into a pile
they would scratch each other's faces.
What are they in the longest yard?
What?
That's fucking, yeah.
They're all wearing breast knuckles.
Oh, God.
And scratch your cheek with it.
What?
Yeah.
Golly.
There's all these, like, stories of, like, pile trauma.
Like, grabbing ankles and spinning it.
I was never in a pile long enough to pull out a fucking, to gig someone, you know, to get color in the pile.
I never hearing that.
I was like, bam.
Yeah.
That's a bit much.
What do you got on Social Security cards?
It seems like you only need the card itself if you're correcting a social security number that's already on file, like if they messed it up in the system.
Really?
That they become that obsolete.
Yeah, like they say new jobs, some benefits, but I have, I mean, I've never had to do it for a job.
You don't have a social security number, right?
We didn't ask for your social security card when you started working here?
That's crazy.
Did we not?
What?
Dude, there's no pain.
I mean, there's a handshake deal, ladies.
Yeah, we're all a handshake deal out there.
And then our business matters like, that is what?
fucking crazy.
I was he got us this far.
He's a girl like this.
Yeah, like, I don't know, man.
It's fucking working.
Look around.
He's a good kid.
Come over here and start counting my pennies.
He doesn't like when I trash him.
I'll get a text.
I heard the Segoor episode.
I'm like, sorry about that.
All right, let's see.
This is another, a little food heavy.
This is from Savage Pimp 83.
No clue if this has ever been said,
but spoon or fork for mac and cheese.
Oh.
Interesting question.
Obviously, if it's a portion on a plate,
you're going to just be eating with a fork usually,
if you're out somewhere or whatever.
But if I'm by myself,
I might just go big tablespoon.
Are you eating mac and cheese by yourself?
No, if I'm doing that, I mean, I have in the past a lot.
Yeah.
Well, here's my issue, is it what, who's making the mac and cheese?
Because if it's like white person mac and cheese,
it's kind of like soupy and runny,
you want a spoon.
Sure.
Because you want to scrape all the delicious velvita,
goo off the bottom.
But if you're eating like a classic black mac and cheese that's as thick as the pot is long,
you need a fucking fork to chop off the corner.
I'll give you that.
It's got more of a fucking texture to it.
Yes.
I will say this.
In White Lotus, they're eating the Thai style with the spoon and the fork.
And I've been emulating that and I love it.
Wait, so you're just going one in one?
You get a spoon, you get a fork if you need to chop or poke.
Yeah.
If you want to scoop.
I've always been anti-knife.
If I got to.
I have too.
Unless it's steak?
Yes, you can accomplish everything with a fork or a spoon.
Wait, hold on.
What are you talking about?
I haven't seen this season of White Lotus.
What do you mean?
So they have a spoon and then they have a fork.
Yeah?
And then when they're eating stuff, there's like a pull apart if you need to for like the chicken.
They work together.
Yeah, they work in concert.
People do this?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
They didn't use chopsticks?
So that's the thing is I thought they were chopstick people.
Huh.
I don't know if you're supposed to say chopstick people, but, you know.
Depends what show you're on.
Yeah.
I understood what you.
you man thank you but yeah so like when we eat a lot of Thai food and i was always that's for
chopsticks and they're like we don't have those no kidding yeah yeah yeah yeah here so in Thailand
most common utensils for eating are fork and spoon while chopsticks are used for certain noodle
dishes like not going to try it and by me fork and spoon are used primarily utensils for Thai
meals the fork is used to push food onto the spoon which goes to the mouth now we're talking
that's where it goes I've been shoving it up my ass because all right this is going to
sound very fat no you're safe you're with me my predominant mode vehicle of sandwich
eating is the spoon yeah me too i do enjoy the spoon i don't think it's the easiest for chinese
food it's the less you can shake on it there's no there's holes in a fucking fork also the concave
nature of the spoon makes it better for cutting than the fork is the spoon's actually a better cutter
it is yeah we're getting to the bottom of it i'm like
start doing that but if you go out it's built like a shovel shovels are built i know somebody has that
bit i think it's fucking uh mr pants probably i think it's Seinfeld he's like you work all day with a
shovel till in the field and you go home and you try to eat with chopsticks it was he was easier back
then yeah you're not wrong yeah yeah like uh you ever get like one of like a like a thin
shitty fork yeah and they're like real thin it's you can't get a good but it plastic spork
get it out of here i'm snapping off that time
and I'm so busy.
Tine, that's what it's called.
Yeah, when you get plastic fork
and you snap it off,
odds are I'm eating that fucking tine
because I didn't notice it snapped.
I'm with you?
You know many times I've been in a food court
and accidentally ate plastic?
Enough that it's a story.
What do you mean?
What's a time?
The tine is the three prongs
that go off the floor.
The prong is a time.
Man, you are a writer.
It's pretty good.
I thought Tine was.
That may be in your intellectual circles
you roll in.
Yeah, in Hamtown.
Hamtown, U.S.A.
Listen, I thought everybody I read your book.
I actually listened to.
That counts, braille counts, listening counts.
He was told to me secondhand.
I would come in every morning.
You had it read to you.
Last night.
Yeah, I'm big on the spoon.
Well, that's good.
And then I guess you could, now, let's say you're, you know, we're in New York right now.
Let's say after this, we go out to a nice dinner.
Are you going to ask for a spoon if it's not?
I'd love to.
I know.
Are you going to ask for a restaurant?
I'm asking, well, why stop that?
Why not just be comfortable and efficient?
eat how you want to eat.
Usually the spoon's in the roll-up.
True.
I'm not in a lot of places where I have to ask for a spoon.
Really?
Yeah.
The spoons in the roll-up.
Where are you eating?
That's prison shit.
What do you mean?
A spoon in the roll.
I don't know, man.
You know the roll up, right?
Like the napkin roll?
Of course.
Yeah, yeah.
There's never a spoon in there.
I usually think all three are in there.
No.
Forking knife.
Really?
That's crazy talk.
Oh, I'm out there.
That's saying quit and shit.
This is too far.
That's syncing.
You got your spoon in your pocket?
Yeah.
It's a telescopic one.
It goes long.
No, I'm just rubbing it against the concrete to prep myself.
You got a baby bird in the other pocket?
Yeah.
I was riffing on the Latin Kings pretty hard last night, boys.
I got it.
I got it.
What do you got?
Spoon seems to be the rare edition out of the two.
Yes.
I feel like I've never had to ask for a spoon.
And if there's not a spoon, I'm not being like, hey, I don't know how to eat now.
I can figure it out.
Korean barbecue, I use predominantly a spoon.
They have that long metal spoon, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if someone starts reaching, you can slap their hands with it.
Those spoons had to be outlawed.
Those spoons, because we go to Korean barbecue a lot with my friends in Denver,
those spoons had to be outlawed in the same way that, like, pantsing people had to be outlawed in my early 20s.
In your early 20s, you were pantsing people?
I remember being at, like, weddings.
That should be equitutes.
Yeah.
Pants in the bride.
When was the last time you pants someone or been pants?
Oh, my 20 years coming up, and already my friends are like, so are we, is there a truce being called?
The treaty's still intact.
We're almost all 40.
Are we going to be...
Well, the worst one was the pants and the push.
You ever get pants and push?
That was the big move.
Yeah.
You work...
Dude, laying on the ground, hanging brain at a wedding is a tough look.
And it's even better because there's that moment where you go over where you're like, well, my pants are down.
Oh!
And then you look up and you see your underwear or with my dirtbag friends, just your fucking revealed balls.
It's also like, man, my pants fell down.
This could not get anywhere.
And they get the wind knocked out of you.
That's crazy.
You Biff Tannen?
That's crazy, dude.
I remember learning at an early age.
I almost got got on the playground.
I was wearing basketball shorts to school.
Oh, no.
And basketball shorts.
You're begging for it.
And they went, someone got me from behind.
And I was able to get my front.
So just my ass got out of it.
I was able to save the fucking tidley wing.
Your Honor.
Did you see how he was dressed?
And dude, from that.
on i'm doing like two belts
fucking tight pair of corduroes you ain't
getting these things off. You would have been called Kevin Mangina
for the rest of high school oh for sure
the chode
I wish
the little guy
little big man
okay
had a great line when we asked
if you got pants right
what would happen are you a great somebody's not going to
you a grover Joe or anyone
if I got pants right now I'd have to switch
schools yeah
I'd feel you
I'd move for sure
yeah
It is funny that moment of you're like, well, this is surely the bottom of my day.
This is the worst of my mom.
There's no way this could get worse.
And then you've ruined the one jacket you have in the mud at your fucking rodeo wedding you're at?
I felt a wedding one time.
I was so fucked up.
And it was one of those ones.
It's down in Fishtown in Philadelphia is at like an event space.
It used to be like a warehouse.
So the floor was concrete.
Like the whole floor was concrete.
Like smooth, like redone.
finish concrete
roller rink concrete
yes and I got
I don't know
sounds like a classy affair
I got four
IPAs just hit
I got like
fucking 15 IPAs at me
didn't know they were heavier
than regular
you know normal
yeah
and man it was one of those
it feels like
that fucking
that GoPro's on you
and the floor came up to me
oh yeah
I did not move dude
and next thing you know
just looking up
and people's grandmoms
are like what the hell's wrong with it
yeah
is he doing the worm
my dad passed out of my
sister's wedding. You got too high. And then there was like three minutes of our, of the wedding where we were like, I wonder if my dad's dead. You know, we're like dancing.
I think it'll be all right. Yeah. And he got too high. My dad got too high and then all that. So then he's fine, obviously. And then my sister's like, you ruined my wedding.
To you? No, to my dad. We thought you were dead for a big part of the speeches, old man. It was during the speeches? No, no, it was towards the end of the evening. But, yeah, he did succumb to his own vice. And he was just on the ground. And my
wife's a doctor and she was like
went over there you know
boogaloo. Pass it out from weed.
Some good shit. My cousin
was younger. He was probably like an early
teen, you know, whatever. Maybe like 14
or something. He ate a cookie that
had a peanut in there. Oh, no.
At my brother's wedding, man. And they
came, they rushed like full blown
fucking cops, you know,
ambulance. Is your brother's wedding?
And no one gave a fuck.
Dude, he was like out. He wasn't in the room anymore.
He was like out in the hallway.
And dude, no.
You all right?
It's just like back to fucking bumping and grind it.
Yeah, you just grab him by his fucking Air Forces,
drag him into the hall.
You put him underneath that flag at half-mast and the VFW
where all of the weddings in your family take place.
This is a glazy affair.
I can't believe you remember the concrete in the wedding hall.
Ah, yeah.
Laying under a don't tread on me flag.
Yeah.
Everybody salutes him, goes back to the dancemer.
One guy freaks out because he's always.
underneath an American flag
and he remembers all of his
buddies's funerals
starts losing it
yeah
fold up an eagle's flag
give it to your mom
he was a good kid
they're doing that thing
when they're walking into each other
yeah
go birth
21
bump salute
pushed it too far
it was good
thank you
just timing time it
that was my favorite part of the show is
where you go
Nothing on that?
Nothing on that.
It's like there was maybe a third of a second for the joke to hit, and you're already reeling.
Panic sexing and quick.
Oh, I understand.
Time moves slow behind the microphone.
It's all bullet time for you.
You're max pain.
It's like interstellar.
Now, I know me and Foley don't have this, but out there in the Great Plains with you, maybe.
This is from this Foley's discarded boxes.
$10, homie, never have one read.
Have you or anyone you?
your family lived in an extended period of time in an RV.
Bonus points if that was in a driveway of a home.
So we had an old broken down RV like on our property and we'd play in there.
That's fun.
Right.
But like remember the seats like underneath the seat covers in those old RVs,
whatever they stuffed those seats with was toxic to skin.
Sure.
So you'd be in there being like, I'm driving the school bus.
And then you go inside and it looks like you were exposed to Agent Orange.
Yes.
It looks like got stung by bees.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember coming inside and like having to.
like my mom being like, God damn it, and just like going into the shower and then standing there and like a bunch of just orange dust was all over.
Yeah.
We've come across a pretty good amount of the bozos and the homies at the shows and we love that they share it where that is the case.
More than a few of we live a young couple, we live in an RV on my mom in my mom's driveway.
It's usually bouncing back.
They're getting their shit together or divorce.
You know, someone moves out to like, dad's like, fuck you.
I'm just going to live.
I already got the house and the RV.
I'll just live in the RV.
Yeah, that's not great.
Anytime, and I didn't have a lot of time in an RV.
I had my stepdad's dad had one that we would use and stay in.
And I loved it.
It was like, fuck it.
It was like the coolest thing that we ever fucking had.
My mom hated it, but I liked it.
What would you play in there?
What would you play in the RV?
Because I remember when I was a kid at my dad's softball games,
all the kids would sometimes go to one of the parents' cars,
and we would play family.
Yeah, yeah.
Like I'm the dad driving.
There's a cops.
What are you playing in a broken down RV?
You're playing like zombie apocalypse or end of the world?
I think house.
House?
That's kind of a house.
Yeah, it makes sense.
Because there's like cabinets and a little fridge and a sink, you know?
Yeah, you're doing dishes.
Yeah, you got a smelly dishwasher.
Yeah.
Playing a poor family.
Uh-huh, yeah.
We were just playing the same thing as my other house.
But I'm in charge.
Fruit roll-ups are any time.
You know, it's weird like how.
You're coming in.
I got laid off again.
today.
Yeah.
What?
Honey, we're ruined.
It's my sister.
She starts fake crying.
The 180 on like living in a van or an RV when we were young, it's like, oh man,
you know, it'll turn around.
But now it's like all these kids live in because, first of all, it's the only financial,
legitimate choice they can make.
Sure.
But then also it's like, yeah, we're freewheeling.
All we need is each other and the National Park Pass.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I know a lot of like people who currently live in vehicles, but it's as some kind of like,
You know, on the road.
They do hook them up, too.
They look really nice.
For sure, yeah.
I do get it as in the sense of, like, if you're, like, told, you got to go to college,
you got to do this.
You got to get in the system.
And you're like, nah, I can fucking save out money, live off the grid a decent amount.
And, like, also then do, like, the gig economy.
You'd be like, oh, I'll do this to earn cash and then fucking hang out the rest of the day.
You don't got to go to college.
Trust me.
Yeah, whatever you do.
Take it from me, a guy who took fucking 18 years to graduate.
I'll look at a published author.
Yeah, I just, yeah.
Well, thank you.
Kid can't even read.
Yeah.
It was all ghostwritten.
It was Norm's last project.
It's all chat GPT.
Early edition.
The beta version of that?
All right.
We have a time for a couple more.
This was from Foley is Foxy.
Hello.
Aye, aye.
Must be a blind, bro.
Is it garbage, you get hypnotized on a cruise ship?
My aunt volunteered and was convinced she was a duck.
She ran around on stage flapping and imagined her wings,
He's quacking like a maniac.
She claimed she had no recollection
when the hypnotist clapped his hands
and brought her back to life.
What do you think about that?
Sam Tal,
do you believe in that?
I mean, obviously,
is that woman going along for the ride
or is she actually hypnotized?
Yeah, I think it's the ramification
of mass peer pressure.
Right.
Because, like, I used to open for, like, hypnotists occasionally.
Like, when I was doing the, like, the mountain time zone,
there was a lot of hypnotist shows, and I would open,
and you'd sit there the whole time just trying to figure it out.
Like, what is it real?
Yeah, and, like, the whole thing is,
the guy would walk around the room and he'd just be like watching people watch me and he'd
see people who he thought would be susceptible to his witchcraft.
They're taking out a mark.
Yeah, yeah.
So then they round him up.
And then the thing is you'd get like 15 people up there and there's a whittling down.
So there's like four different games he would play before he had the final three.
And then be like, I know.
Yeah.
Then those three will do whatever the fuck he wants.
Right.
Yeah.
But they'll do it because they're hypnotizers or because they're susceptible to it.
They think they're playing along.
They think they're in a trans.
It's like part of the show.
and also this is their big moment and they're on stage
and they're being peer pressured in front of a bunch of people
typically in a small town who they know.
So it's like all these different Venn diagrams swirling
to create the perfect mark.
And then you find that perfect mark
and then they'll quack like the duck or whatever.
I've always wanted to be hypnotized.
What do you got?
Yeah, it seems to just be, it's a change in brain activity
where you reduce the activity in the areas
of like self-reflection and task switching.
So it's just a deeply relaxed state
where the person is highly receptive to suggestion.
But that's like therapeutic hypnotism.
That's like quitting smoking hypnotism.
This is like, you know, there's a fucking brisket buffet by the stage hypnotism.
Where's that at?
Yeah, I'm telling me.
Carney, Nebraska.
So it does work.
So it is real.
I don't know.
I think what he's describing is a completely different phenomenon.
Yeah, quit smoking.
Get like our hypnotist acts, like, you know, a live show hypnotist.
Do live show hypnotist or a live show hypnotist.
Couldn't I be hypnotized not to eat?
eat? No, probably not.
We would need to like...
Had to bring in Penn and Teller to get. Yeah, we'd have to get
Cthulhu involved.
Jedi Knight. Because they used to...
They used to do it at my junior high.
What? It was that one of the...
The gym teachers?
Hell, you know, I'm wrong. It was one of the assemblies each year
was like, this hypnotist would come in and we'd get like 10 people up there.
And, you know, the stories you would hear, because my brother had gone through the
schooling, like, dude, it's fucking crazy.
And I think the guy started getting a little naughty
And had like the girls dancing and stuff
And they they fucking axed it before I got there
Yeah
Devastated
Dude, dude imagine being a seventh grader is getting to see all the girls you're in love with
Twerking?
Twerking or whatever?
On stage
Taking their tops.
It's wrong.
What do you got?
Sam is right
So that was like more therapeutic
Yeah
The stage acts are more peer pressure
Social compliance and like
suggestibility and like desire for attention.
Yeah, yeah.
It's attention seeking.
We've watched it a bunch.
Yeah, true.
As I'm back there like, huh, so I got a hundred bucks for this.
You're back there clucking like a chicken.
Oh, yeah.
This is all bullshit.
I'm back there battering myself.
That shit's like, if you see that live, it's one of the best shows.
It's like when you see like a magician comedian, I love that shit.
If they're right, I watch one guy, he's, he's Staten Island guy.
I forget his name, like Gemini or something like that.
And he came down to this show we were doing...
Is he black?
In PA?
No.
Old white Italian guy.
And he comes, dude, in the first half hour, he's like, just tell him I got here from Italy.
I'm like, all right.
You got it.
So he's up there.
The magic starts here, huh?
He's doing...
This guy came in in character.
I'm in on the act.
Where's the box?
So he comes up, and he's doing very broken English, like a word here and there, and then halfway through, he just breaks his Staten Island accent.
He's like, I'm fucking getting him with you.
Classic.
Like, erupts.
all raps in laughter.
That's the classic like Asian comic move
where they go up, you know, and they're like,
well, you know what they say.
I know where you're going.
Real chopsticks stuff.
Yeah.
And then like 12 minutes in there like,
I'm just fucking with y'all.
And everyone's like, no way!
And then they close.
That's it for me.
Yeah, and everyone's like, yeah.
God, all right, we got to wrap it up though.
What?
I know.
Time flew by.
