Starting point is 00:07:00 He was in the manager program like like that the manager program at Bloomingdale or whatever. Of course.

He should be a young guy working there What was I as a young guy working there quiz knows? Okay, that's a fine establishment Sure, you sure did bacon bits on it Probably all the clothes were dirty that I wore down where I've worked five to eight fifteen when was this run
Starting point is 00:07:42 Were you in college as in college you were in college? Yeah, so you would be in college. You'd go work in the city. Yeah Would you be showing up late the parties with like your tie on I Wouldn't call them parties, but I did freak when. I was hot. I don't like Tom McCann souls I Would go I did show up to a couple of spots whoa I remember one kid was like you look at we're out front smoking a thing and I did my head I was a very no haircut haircut kind of guy And my buddy Patty not Pat not not Pat of Pat fame another Pat And my buddy patty not bad not not pad of Pat fame another pat
Starting point is 00:08:31 Was like you look good. May we do something with that hair cuz it's just like he's like just brushing aside do something Put a little product in there guys down there selling ties like Boris Johnson Nothing on that Former Prime Minister. Yeah very yes very very very Boris Johnson-esque. So you worked there. I worked there in college I would probably say my junior and senior year maybe or June. Through the summer or would it only be when you were in school? Through the summer I think I might only work there a year so it's probably like September till like a little bit in the summer and then I'd have to drive down there because then I wouldn't live down there in the summer
Starting point is 00:09:10 Right, so I'd live in fucking I'd live in box at my at my mom's house and I would dry I would take her that was when I was in the bravada I would drive her bravada down. I have to pay for parking. I was like 25 bucks. I was making you know, I I have to pay for parking. That was like 25 bucks. I was making, you know, I don't know, 70 bucks a day. Between that and the Quiznos, I'm out of cash. For the folks that aren't familiar, it's in a very nice, historic building in Center City, Philadelphia called the
Starting point is 00:09:35 Wanamaker Building, John Wanamaker. Wanamaker was an old department store. Macy's bought them out, whatever. You know, things go. Listen to that. It's a nice place. It was a beautiful building. Yeah, it still is Whatever. You know, things go. Listen that. It's a nice place. It was beautiful building. Yeah, it still is. They do the Christmas things there. That was when you really wanted to put a gun in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Hey, alright, hold on. Let me, let me. Man, they do the Christmas show every hour on the 15th. So it'd be like, well, over one-fifteen, two-fifth, and these fucking mouth. What time is so coming? Little kid shitting himself. Lady, you wouldn't know a Van Hues in if it hits you in the face. Get out of here. You think you're Alfani material. So you didn't. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:10:10 You didn't have a mall to go wander around. You had to go to the street to get your nourishment. Yeah. Huh. But that was good because you're just out right outside. But then you're just in the streets of Philadelphia. You're just fucking you're catching heaters just fucking, fighting the zombies. So here, let me put this, before we get into it, this came in from Sean. This just goes, I think, to sum up,
Starting point is 00:10:33 because you were never a retail man. I mean, you were, your modeling career, obviously, I don't wanna, but that's more entertainment business, that's not retail. I was paid as an actor, you know, you know how delusional I am, I thought. Yes, I do. Thanks for checking in you know, you know, you know how delusional I am. I thought yes I do Thanks for thanks for checking in with me though after five years. So this is this is winter break
Starting point is 00:10:51 I think either it would have had to been my freshman year after my freshman year of college Or in in the middle of my freshman year or middle of my sophomore year of college I Was hired as I was paid as an actor I believe. If I'm not mistaken, or talent or something like that. The only job that I had, I just had to stand there and hand out cards and spray people and talk people up about CKB
Starting point is 00:11:16 and I'd be in different places in the store. So you never worked retail? No. That's not retail. That's modeling. That's fashion, that's high fashion. I come sure I thought that I was gonna get points. What year did you go to Paris? Walk the runway break it What year what year was that Anna Wintour screwed me out of that gig how many she said I was too good-looking She wanted me embarrassed in the French models. How many I thought I was too good-looking she wanted me embarrassed in the French models how many? Secret models did you date that I was teamed up with this dime piece?
Starting point is 00:11:49 Uh-huh, I don't ever happen to her I lost touch with her. She still has all her teeth I bet unlike some people at the table Sir if I spread this cold on me, I'm gonna lose all my teeth like you I had my teeth back then I've been taking a lot of heat about my teeth and my tongue and my face not a job of what references give you overall well-being I thought I was gonna get sag credit for it I swear to God I mean you are an all-time poser I thought that was the start of I thought that's is that this is that you get the Milan can film festival Thought I was gonna be so you just got a set of cans doing H with Kate Moss Johnny Depp hanging out
Starting point is 00:12:32 smoking cigarettes like this Sunday's went back to Widener and flunked out. I Don't need this. I'm in fashion. I worked at West Coast video my senior year of high school Okay, that was my retail. I wasn't good with the... I would argue that's more customer. That's not retail. You're not really selling.
Starting point is 00:12:51 That's retail? I'm not listening. Hey, we're paying wholesale prices, I can tell you that. Sure. That is more customer. You're not selling. You're renting. Landscaper, waiter, laborer.
Starting point is 00:13:04 So just say no. Why can't you just say no to the question? This is crazy. We did sell at West Coast Video. You were able to not just rent, you could buy. I'm aware of that, but nobody was getting it. Retail purchase, right? Luke?
Starting point is 00:13:19 30 videos? Can't return those. I'm just saying you weren't in the shit, man. No, okay As very eloquently put this is from Sean I know we hear a lot about the perils of restaurant workers often on the show rightfully so yes But I worked at an FYE while in high school slash college 08 to 2012 And I think people forget about the trenches of mall retail workers we're in on any given Friday night. God love you.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I'm 33 and still have a group chat with four of the people I worked with back then. And every once in a while someone will bring up repressed memories like a Vietnam flashback. For reference, I was also active duty military and the vibe of both group chats are unnervingly similar at times. I get it, man. There is like, I remember at Macy's, I didn't know retail. I had never worked retail like that, I don't think. Were you selling? I was cashier on the floor. I understand that, but would you go and help people?
Starting point is 00:14:15 Hey, this shirt, I want to wear this with this. Would you be selling? Did you get commission? No, commission. I was making $8 an hour. Jesus. $8.15 an hour. So you had no motivation to help people,
Starting point is 00:14:29 or like, you know, hey, why don't you get the shoes too, or get this, or whatever? No. I thought that's how that worked. No, I think the suit people got commission. Like, the problem, if you're selling suits, you're moving units, you're moving DK and Y, you're moving.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Wait, you weren't standing behind the counter. You were walking around in your, what were you, inirts, socks, shoes? I was in men's activewear. I was in charge of. Activewear? I was in charge of dungarees. Would you fold and put back on the shelf?
Starting point is 00:14:55 You're not just standing behind. You're not just. You're behind. No. Yeah, you're but listen, this guy's never worked retail. Let me explain. Would you gift wrap? Let me explain something.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Didn't I go up on the third floor to gift wrap it for you for free to show them the receipt. I could never do those curls. I'd see my mom do that. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah, no, no, we didn't do anything. We had a circle sign and say that was the big thing. So all these major big box retailers want information from, you know, from the customer. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:15:24 So you had to put so hold on I worked I worked at Macy's in Center City Philadelphia probably 2007 eight ish probably 2008 right and right before you met me your whole world turned around yeah yeah uh-huh And I still remember those days. First time I ever hung out with you, you complained about how far I parked from the venue. I swear to fucking God. He goes, I thought you said it was a couple of blocks. This is a real hump, huh? This is the guy fucking, I'm driving him home.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Meanwhile, he's smoking all my fucking cigarettes, taking some for the ride when he gets out. You want to go back to fucking JC Penny's wherever I found you punk found to me Wherever you found to be plucked you out you were flooring out of a sea of talent guy You were 40 bumming cigs off me asking for rides home and then complaining about it With me drinking yourselves or can't let, let's talk about Light Strike Hard Refresher.

Starting point is 00:31:17 nuts for those things. What was the what was the first for us? It was Clover was the first for us it was Clover was the first department store like not mall departments. I guess it was kind of relatively connected to a mall. But it was always was always a tent pole in a mall. It was always the like it was like at the end the Macy's or the JC Penney's or whatever. Yeah, I'm trying to
Starting point is 00:31:45 think of the name of this mall. Our Clover was attached to a Clemens and then it had a little mark in between like a little like it was a bunch of kiosks. It was phenomenal. But what are you asking? What's my first what? That was to me.
Starting point is 00:31:58 That was the first. I mean, that was the closest one. Boscov's was our first one in Wilkes-Barre. They used to do the Halloween. They'd have the witch go from across the street to the other side uh-huh I Waited in the car that shit scared the fuck out of me sure They just had some doll or some dummy on a wire, but she would peek out over here They had another lady peek out over there
Starting point is 00:32:19 Fucking god damn it trauma this one was off Street was off street, off street road. Shout out street road. And then it turned into a value city than an office, Max, I believe. Or a staple. But it used to be connected to a very small mall that was dying. There was always empty. Wasn't the Leo Mall was further down on Busselton. This was like the Roosevelt Mall. I forgot what the fuck it was called.
Starting point is 00:32:44 See, if you look up clover Street Road Feasterville PA and see what mall that was We would go skateboarding in it is like young teens because inside in the mall because it was so close There was like a Jamba Juice like a you'd put like a knockoff one at the end. That was really awesome Um, I was wanted to do shit like that. I remember the whole ball was small like Mediterranean tile so we Like as you went they care weren't like the big I got your tiles damn I don't know what that is clay tiles or whatever clover was either
Starting point is 00:33:17 Liquidated or sold and bought by the Federated Department stores in 2005 what mall that was connected to though There should be some sort of I always thought their parent company was Strawbridge and Clothier. Was that the case? I believe so. That's pretty good. But we think I'm sorry. I think your Strawbridge's card, which I want to get Clover.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Only when I knew how was my aunt college talking about a Strawbridge's card. I loved it. Denise had one. Did she? Yeah. She's Strawbridge's card.
Starting point is 00:33:41 My Strawbridge's card. I believe Bucks County Mall. That might have been the Bucks County Mall. That might have been the Bucks County Mall. Kitty City was also a part of it. Yes, it was. Shout out to the Bucks County Mall. Kitty City. I got a picture of the sign.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Of what? Of the sign. Of the clover? Yeah. So we'd go right into clover. Great department. It was awesome. We'd go right into clover, bang, a right snack bar right there. She laced me with a hot pretzel out of the out of the machine and a for in a
Starting point is 00:34:10 slurpee. Probably icy red and blue. Sure. Uh and I had the the standards in the middle and they had the icy spinning around the top and I had that polar bear. I'd be good in the cart for about 35 minutes. Just fucking, just eating my bite and sip at an early age with a slurpee and a pretzel ain't nothing better. Those icee's would screw you sometimes though. You'd be halfway done but you'd have no more juice. Sure.
Starting point is 00:34:36 You'd have to shake it up. You had to keep staring. That was a thing I learned at a young age. You don't churn your own butter as we call it. Sure. That's when I would start dipping the pretzel in there. But I'd be good as shit in there and then she could get it done and we'd get out. That was it. But I fucking love Clover. That and then a Woolworths. Shout out to Woolworths. Woolworths was in the Chamonix Mall. That was the first place I seen.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I feel like those were like Marshalls and stuff. Now Woolworths to me. I mean all those kind of stores were they just seemed chaotic. They had so much stuff it seemed. Yeah what killed me is Woolworths. I believe the Woolworths that we used to go to they had a big garden section. And a pet shop too. Yeah, I didn't like the smell of the fucking gerbils in the back or the the fertilizer over in the garden section. I hated it. It was always cold and creepy. Wasn't a fan. And then here we go. Alright, this one's from Kip Van Winkle. I got a whole seer shut down, like rolled down gates and all as a kid hiding from my mother inside the clothing rack.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Nice. I mean, that's obviously the real move. That's like that. That is the best childhood move. Hiding in those clothes. That's a great question. What store did you get lost in? Or did you lose your parents in? I remember getting, I forget what mine was a Kmart. I got lost in a Kmart and freak the fuck out. Some neighbor found me. Ah, I can't recall. I remember it might have been a Kmart. I remember it vividly. And we somebody took our cart in the store.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Jesus. I think like a guy shot, like a guy working there was like, oh this got left or something and he moved it. Somebody left their bald fat kid here. And my mom came back and was like, they took my cart. And like yelled and we left, we left the store. Sure. And I'm like, I thought we had paid for it.
Starting point is 00:36:23 You know what I mean? And then I'm like, oh that wasn't your shit. You know what I mean? I'm like, that wasn't your shit. You know what I mean? You could have just put it back. Could have just got a new car and grabbed everything in 10 minutes. Of course. Nah, she had a fucking rub it in my face.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Speaking of retail, Patty Foley, manager at the Gap at the Wyoming Valley Mall, as you know, for a long time. Sure. Maybe about five, 10 years she worked there. That's back when the Gap was the gap. Popping. That was like new, it was cool, it was like off.

I got some of the gear Socks if they're hired do you remember this so my mall years were still prize your your mall years were probably prime too I'm talking like for me mid 90s malls were fucking you could I mean that was the hub buddy mid 80s. Malls were fucking. I mean, that was the hub. Buddy, mid 80s. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's for you. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Um, do you I think this was more 90s, though. The theory and then you would see from time to time that stores would have real people as mannequins. Do you remember that? I think like Abercrombie did certain places did it where like they'd get like the hot girls from the school or whatever they might have worked there too, and they would go put on like a dress and just like And then move positions every like ten minutes or something surprised. They didn't ask me to do that
Starting point is 00:42:17 Yeah, me too with all your modeling experience sure No, but you have to wear the clothes Yeah, which didn't you have to wear the clothes Didn't you have to wear Macy's clothes? How were you able to wear your dad's suit? I had to wear a suit. You just had to wear a black suit and tie. Oh, you didn't have to wear the clothes from the store? That would be weird if I was dressed up in a Nike fucking warm up outfit. That'd be insane. Nike tech? Yeah. I'm in a I'm in a pair of 501s and a Harley-Davidson shirt. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:42:50 I thought you had to wear the clothes from the store. My mom did. They wore Gap stuff. So people could see how it looked on you. Sure. But the Gap only carries the Gap clothes. Right. It'd be weird if I was wearing a pair of Rock P a bathing suit the fucking and a blazer from DK and wire whatever With a winter guys if you need any advice on a style outfit just hit me up obviously
Starting point is 00:43:20 Dressed like a crazy person. I got a snorkel Sitting on a washing machine dry color popcorn out of the tin. You guys want to open up a credit card? I gotcha. Uh. Holding a spatula or something like that. Um. Yeah I remember that was big.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I also remember just like the malls. Because my brothers, the brothers and sisters were going to the mall socially. My eyes young prize, probably, you know, that's probably 91, 92, they would go, you know, yeah, yeah, whatever. Maybe 93, they get dropped off at the mall or whatever. And man, just like they call the circling of all the kids from all the different school I remember one kid had he has these spice huge spiked hair Jesus what he's hanging out with punk rock No, he would just be at the mall
Starting point is 00:44:13 You would see him at the mall that we go to the mall once a week just to like I don't know I one person out of a family of three between my mom my dad my stepmom I said somebody needed fucking something you know or just oh We'll go to the mall just to get out of the house or whatever for sure Cahoon of ill that was we went to Cahoon of ill in the auction rally mall. Oh my god Yeah, I'll Cahoon of ill see if you get any eyes on that that was great like the rainforest cafe But I think there's only a couple of them. It's like it was like a independent shop
Starting point is 00:44:43 permanently closed I had a birthday Just my family, but we celebrated my birthday. It's a nice burger over there. I think I had the chicken send these steak fries All right, this is about all just kinds of shop is from Harvey never have one red hoagie here Is it garbage to deny help from an employee even though you definitely need help I do that to deny oh like you go in hey can I help you with anything now I'm just looking and really a question of hey do you carry fucking scuba tanks no yeah I do that so I always thought it's footlocker that you get that you got a bump that like who helped you Kevin helped me yeah I
Starting point is 00:45:25 think certain I think maybe like full-time employees at some point got commission but like the part-time guy my buddy did it when he worked at Footlocker did not did not but like you needed to sell you needed to help so you know they can tell how hard you're working by how many that was the way it was explained to me I could be wrong your name gets put in Yes, I go you only helped three people today. Where's fucking Gary helped a hundred. Nobody said no Try we I'm just yeah, I'm just looking If you need me, yeah, but they need you have to go get the shoes and footlock. Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's true
Starting point is 00:45:59 You know what? I mean you somebody has to go get them the XL. They sometimes you give you the full court press They sure you don't you know they're hanging around that look that look good on you I first of all nothing looks good on me lady. I know you're fucking lying to me sure They play my work on that might be more of a commission based I don't think there's a lot of part-time after-school kids working at DXL Like you know what I mean like that would be more Macy's, Target, Best Buy. And those kids, I don't think, they don't get Kamesh. I think I'd be good at DXL.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Yeah. You don't want that. But I have it, that thing stains like you wouldn't believe. That they wear and tear on that thing alone. Be good there. Sure, I think you would be great. You know, my one uncle worked, was Joseph A. Bank guy, cleaned up.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Just a born salesman. My uncle's brother. By marriage. Uncle Joe. Some guy you know. Yeah, used to move, move, move. Fabrics. Yeah. DXL employees get commission.
Starting point is 00:47:02 No shit. I can tell. Really? Varying between 1.5 and 6% based on the personal sales volume That's funny cuz it's gonna be a lot on a 40 pound coat That's funny cuz the last couple times I went in I dropped a couple of bucks that I was loaded up And I don't remember them like falling over themselves I Think it still depends on the employee, but it seems like DXL is a pretty good commission based system. I mean, but 1% to get any real juice off that you
Starting point is 00:47:33 got to be you got to be spending like 20 grand in there. I think I spent like 300 bucks 400 bucks last couple of times I was in that's four bucks to that guy. I tell you to go suck my dick. Come in here fucking making demands and shit. You know what, I'm gonna make 450? No way. Is that what it is? Oh, 1% of a hundred, the dollar.
Starting point is 00:47:53 They got it, that's gotta be 10%. Could be, no, it goes up to six. Six? You gotta be an earner to get, you gotta be there a long time, you gotta be Mr. D, X, or L to get 6%. It should be like,. They should get ten percent Unless they're paying them out the wazoo with the wazoo
Starting point is 00:48:10 Give them a give me a reason to move some fucking gear They don't need to you're in there. You can't go nowhere. We're gonna walk out the fucking DL like you need the X. You know what I mean?? I'll go over to Urban Outfitters right now! What does DXL stand for? What's the D? Destination XL. Whoa. Hahaha. Location badass.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I wish I could do a tractor beam. Beep. Beep. Destination. Destination badass. It's great. No, it's Destination XL. My bad. Beep beep. Destination. Destination badass. It's great.
Starting point is 00:48:48 No it's Destination XL. It's also tall too. Dude that one mannequin we posted a picture of. He's like 5'2". Fucking 3'80". That guy. That guy owns a cheesesteak place. His dad started. he's the son. Alright, this is from Drive-In. Long time $10 dirt bag, never had one red.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Had a job at a big box store in high school as a security guard. Another kid from my school started working at the same place as a cashier. He immediately found out the override code and a list of codes for all the registers. This was a time when starter jackets and jerseys were absolutely banging. I know where this is going. Me too. We would have kids from school. I hold on. This is a deep text. We would have kids from school come in at timed intervals, grab a stack of starter gear and I would switch the cameras off the front door, what off the sports section, then off the cashier at the right time. Jesus. He would ring everything up for $1 and they pay cash.
Starting point is 00:49:55 There was never a trace of that person being in the store. The next day at school, these kids would give us like 50 to 100 bucks to split, never got caught caught made enough money To smoke weed for free for a couple of years through high school. God damn that is fucking Diabolical yes, that's oceans 11 shit. That's great. Yeah, that's why and this goes back to like listen a lot of the times These big-box stores foot lockers, whatever these mall retail places are hiring big box stores, foot lockers, whatever, these mall retail places are hiring, you know, teenagers, essentially. Teenagers don't really give a f- they're not morally like, I can't- they don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:50:32 about Mr. Blockbuster or whatever and they're- they get in there and they start seeing the holes in the fuckin- in the system here. Turning cameras off. That's sick. That's nuts. Somebody else said I don't know if I took it but they were just like I currently I work in a mall and they were like just the the ecosystem that goes through the mall is crazy. Like I said before we used to do the two for 70 deal you go in guy at full locker you pick out two shoes he gives Them D in a bag you hand them 70 bucks to you hand them 70 bucks. I think he put 10 or 20 in the register pocketed 50 or whatever he'd bring you up for a dollar whatever the fuck it was you think that the dollar charges would Bring somebody's belt. What are all these dollar charges? They didn't know though
Starting point is 00:51:23 I mean we did the standard when Best Buy was fucking up, when they first opened and they had the shit upstairs, we had the, my buddies had the return thing going. Alright, this one's from Mr. Bevilacqua, ten dollar man myself, great name. There you go.
