Wow, Wow, Wes. Hey. We're here. Are you guys hot? Let me know if you're hot. I can turn it on the air. No, I'm good. I love how right away you'll like.

It's on you go. No. Well, I'm just saying because it was cool in here, but I knew when we'd enter, we were like negative ice cubes. Very true. We've all warmed this space significantly. We're like those heat rocks.

Cook a steak on us. The heat's wild down here. I don't know how you deal with it. I like the heat. The cold is I get like when I don't feel a sun for like five months, I get real weird. I just, it's not good for me. I do. I get, I get sad.

Are you laughing at my seasonal effect disorder? I'm a seasonal effect of disorder. I'm a survivor for 40 years. I'm just, a sexual effect of disorder. I'm not laughing at it. I'm laughing at it. You are, you're someone who I admire in the sense of you know what a hundred percent is not good for you. You end a lot of sense, but that's just not good for me.

You know what I mean? So I respect it. We're talking about boundaries. Yeah. I respect it. I like it. Do you ever try to draw a bad? I don't think it ever works. I've never done one ever. It's so foreign to me. It's so foreign to me.

I've tried, but I always take it back. As soon as it leaves my mouth, I'm like, I never mind. You know what? I'm never going to stand. I wouldn't know what one is. You know what I mean? You can say or do anything with me,

is laying the bed, whatever you want. It's insane. Yeah, I prefer to stew. Yeah. I'll let people cross over my boundaries and I go, fucking, fucking, fucking, no respect at all for me. I guess I'm a piece of shit. And then I just, hey, how you doing?

that's my boundaries. Hey, what's how you want to get breath? That's what I was doing with him this morning in my head. We've worked on that a little bit. I swear to God, dude. We had a quiet flight down here. Did you, right? Yeah.

What happened? We're setting boundaries a little bit. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, this is so fine. I don't know what that's like, is there a leak in our organization that was like, ask about boundaries. You guys got the fucking TMS's scoop. He's fucking, they don't look smart, but they're good, these guys. He's a deal with the dirt.

Holy sure. I watch you. guys fight since like 2000. That's true. That's true. That's true. It's no secret. There's no way to.

I'm like, man, these guys are good. Who you guys been fucking talking to? Meanwhile, you've seen us and have each other in headlocks outside of the Raven Lounge. The enigma's going next. It's funny. Looking back on it was like the stuff we used to argue about was so cute and adorable.

It's so funny. Now it's serious. Yeah. Yeah. Do we see? I'm like, it's so far. I say that to him sometimes. He's like, I don't ever want to fight again. I go, we used to argue over YouTube videos that got a hundred views.

Like, of course. Things are going to be tense now. He's grown up a lot. I'll give him that. That's nice. He has grown up a lot. He kind of stinks as a hang, but he's grown up. Oh, yeah, you're a real fucking peach.

Let me tell you. I went the other way. Really? Oh, man. It's crazy. I mean, it's crazy. How bad of a hang he is. You got the family, kids, all that kind of stuff.

He's got to like prioritize this, that. The other thing, things are mean more. and I'm living in Ian's basement it's like fucking... You're the dog. You're the dog and the family gets shooting in the crate. Yeah, because he keeps shitting everywhere. You're like, we do. It's like, do we pay $2,000 for fucking training and that didn't take. We tried.

You know, you're trying to help. I'm fighting people at the park. Yeah, how do you guys coordinate that? Me and Shane have the same thing. I have a kid. He doesn't, but he's pretty gracious. Yeah, he's also fucking a millionaire. Fucking one of the most famous comics on the planet. Even more of the reason. On the middle of the road.

More the reason. Walking around like I'm a movie star. drives him fucking nuts. Dude, he got spotted by one of our bullies at the airport. You did. When? You're saying, he's trying to. He thinks he's very famous in his thing. He really, we could always start.

I go, you are Johnny Drama. He is. I don't think I'm famous. I have an audience. Did I do a good performance this season on tires? Of course. Of course. Has that gone to your head immensely?

Yes. You got recognized at the airport. No, he did. You know, our boy saw him. Like, Kevin, Dick a picture. Guys, like, can Kippy get in? He's like, no, no, no. This one's just for me.

What are we talking about? When Colin saw you. No, there's a lot. No, when Colin Chamberlain saw you. Oh, that fucking rat. Forget about that. Dude, our boy, our main open. Our boy, Colin Chamberl.

Our boy is on a road with us. He's Kippies boy. They bumps us. He really makes a lot of delineation. They all rat me out. They all rat me out. Really? Oh, forget about it.

Dude, rat. They know who. They know who daddy is. You kidding me? Ain't know who writes the checks. That's what you think it is. No, you're also a comedian. Dude, he's walking around Delta.

He's walking around the terminal. He's got no luggage. Hold on a second. I sort of seeing a young lady who lives in Cleveland. All right, I've been going back and forth a little bit. Yeah, yeah. I had an audition coming up.

I had the sides of my back pocket. I checked my bag. It's like a Friday afternoon. I'm flying out of Cleveland. All these details aside. He's walking around the fucking airport with sunglasses on it and a movie script in his back pocket.

And you're going to sit there and tell me, you don't like being fucking recognized. And Colin comes up to us. He's talking to me normal. Hey, don't good to say. That's insane, right? What are you talking about?

You did a director's chair on show? I had to memorize my lines for a goddamn audition that you didn't get. I turned it dead. I didn't like the script. Do my head hurts already. You got to say no a little bit, boys. You know what I'm saying?

Give them a big point even more. If you don't say no, your yes, is worthless. Yeah, that's great. I'm done with auditions. I'll tell you that right now. I did one against that very well. So I did an audition and I've only done to go to the Alabama headed. Anything. They'll send me. I tried. I did one audition and the only reason I did it because in this one instance, I happened to know through like a family connection that the producer was like loosely related to my family. So I'm like, here we go.

I'm in Nepo baby, full Nepo baby. Send this. Because someone in your family tree knows a guy. It's like three degrees of separation. But we met once. I'm like, brother, he's going to see my name and tap me up.

The big leagues. The big leagues. What are you? Oh, you're in the big leagues. You're in the big leagues. What was it? Tulsa King.

What were you reading for? I denied Tulsa King. The one that just came out about the guy behind the door? Yeah, yeah, I forget. It was something. I got some Tulsa. No, no, my.

Maybe Landman. It was one of those, like, constipated old man shows. Oh, show's kind of ruled. Although, they do a little bit. Yeah, they're nice. Yellowstone was awesome. Yeah, yellowstone.

Although, if you watch it on TV, the shit they edited out on network television, I thought, ruined the show. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. I just watch it on YouTube shorts. The big guy in the hot redhead. That's all I see. Him throwing a snake or fucking banging his wife.

Are you going for Tulsa Kings? No, I read for Tulsa Kings, like, fat guy behind the door. Yeah, I'm like, I'm not doing it. Then I go back to Ian's place and Ian got the same audition. What? Yeah, I'm like, what do we doing here? What is kind of crazy? The fuck out of here with this shit.

Yeah, I don't find O'Lander for $1,500. I got cash. No, I don't. I get scripts every now and again. It's like, he's also broke for the record. Oh, yeah. I'm super broke. I fucked up.

Oh, yeah. It happens. Every great artist, man. That's what I figure. Yeah. You know what I'll help that? More movie scripts in the back pocket. I really turn the ship over that.

this script. Talk about not focusing on the right thing. We're focusing on the right thing. What are you talking? So you guys, that's why you guys had a silent ride because you were just peeping what he was up to and you were just, monkey, please. There was the latest incident is this is funny because you guys are getting the fucking TNTs.

I mean, it's embarrassing for you, for sure, if you want to talk about it. It's funny. I don't see you like that to be honest with you. That's a very part of my someone who did what you did, I would assume so. I've overstepped on the corporate credit card a little bit. A little bit. A little bit. is a drastic statement, I feel. Really? But you can write that off.

That's what I said. What are we doing here? You're getting ahead of next year's taxes. I'm getting ahead of it. Yeah, we're reading it all. But it was taken from me, like my badge of my gun. Yeah. Which I'm okay with. I'm all right with it.

I didn't, I said, I said, I think, listen, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't reprimand. Did you like my response on the first thing when you were like, hey, this is whatever? I thought I was very hand up like hey no problem whatever you need I want to do good sure yeah that was just like hey man you got me you know you know

fully can't work under these conditions this guy can't get cold is that what it is my plants I give a hot for my What is that, by the way? Or Dendrum or something? You don't even know the name of it? Dendrew?

I don't know. Monstera, that's what it is. Oh, guard dog. Way to go. You say it's wilting? That's a little sad looking. Well, yeah, I haven't been here in a couple weeks, so. I have a money tree of my old apartment.

Do you really? Like seven years. Yeah. You don't? Yeah, it's nice. I do like those things. Yeah. That's the only thing I've ever, like, taken care of for a long time.

My ex-wife's got it. And they did it paid off. You had the car. The car for a little while. It's all right. But I feel like if that thing dies, I'm fucked. That's what his money tree brought was Like misuse of company.

I wouldn't say that. Come on, what are you talking about? What was it damage? What was it damage? Well, we don't need to get into that shit. So it was taken. It was no, I didn't, I did not take it. I said, hey, man, we need to reassess the Karen situation with the Amex.

Which was actually very nice. He's been very cool about it. everything. Yeah. To be honest with you. Yeah. Father. Not a great hang, but very stern. You think is a hang. It's crazy. Very stern. But when I think about it, I'm like, wow. I just, I go, hey man, this is a business partner.

We need to reassess. This is a problem. Yeah. Which I said, okay, no problem. We need to reassess it. And you said, turn your card. And I said, no, I said, I feel better if you didn't have the card. Yeah. And I think that's. Yeah. I think that's fair. I think that's fair. I'm completely on my own now. You've lost. Which is what I'm actually like. I'm in the middle of recovery. All that.

stuff. I'm on my own. I'm on my own. It's just like that was the last straw. Yeah. Yeah. So it was like a lot. It was, you know, it was more money than I made in 2019. He spent in the last 30 days. Which is funny. You never checked to see if there was any any identity theft or anything on that.

True. It seems like a lot. Could have made some suspicious. Suspicious. Well, it's kind of funny because like AMX is pretty detailed with the charges. So, yeah. Sounds like suspicious activity. I think it does.

Yeah. Unless someone stole your credit card Then flew out to Cleveland a bunch to see your girlfriend I never put anything on I never put a flight on that card You put six flights on the card Really? Yes Oh fuck I didn't first class

You fuck you didn't what do you mean you did not know that I didn't know that wrong card isn't that crazy Wrong card yeah wrong card Hand up wrong card hand up on that I give you that right now I told you we can see that Who's gonna give me that You believe a good guy like this gonna give me that I got you

I thought about that a little bit. I thought about that a little bit, like, you know, like, what are you talking about? We're doing, we won the lottery. We're doing great, all that kind of stuff. but he has my blind trust in such a way that he's the only person in my life that I don't question. But you say whatever I'm cool with it.

Because I realized I put him through hell over the last year or so. Got the family. He wants to enjoy his life. All that kind of stuff. Got the house. Loving family. Doing very well.

The Raven's up for sale, you guys. I saw, I was thinking about... Is it really? I was thinking about Pinet, but we spent all of our money at all on the Amex, too. I don't think that. Stop it. Don't be like that.

oh fuck why'd why do that? Yeah it's crazy I was like fuck no I'm at you guys with a new five check this out bombs I remember when I did the semifinals of Philly's funniest Tommy I think had might have already gotten new faces or he'd won it and he was hosting and he looked at me we hadn't we were only talking that much

at that time and he's like big smile before you go out there and I still think about that and I go out on stage big smile that was the pointer he gave me and he pulled his dick out and was like, you see this thing? Yeah, we fucking... We say we get a bag of blow.

Never did Coke with Tommy Pooh. There you go. Yeah. I got that going for me. Great. Anyway, sorry about the problem. That's like I got that going. So yeah, we have boundaries now. Now, we just, it's listened, you know,

to, uh, to, we're different people from when we started the show. Oh, it's crazy. Uh, you know, one of us, one shows left, one chose right. We're trying to like, you know... I didn't choose anything. You're right, I did. I'm sorry.

I made the choices that guy in Ian's basement. I came off. I apologize. That's all I got to do. I just got to sit back, play the victim. He says something mean.

Nobody thinks you're the victim. And any sort of unit. Check to YouTube comments. There's a bloodbath over on Patreon at the moment. Really? A little bit. Everybody loves to come back. That's true.

I'm not even fucking around. He's been saying that for four years. I lost 100 pounds. I look good. What the fuck do you want for me? That's what I'm saying. It's all Hollywood cares about. Looking good, baby.

That's what I'm talking about. The other day on the patronage goes, we're like trying to like, hey man, just maybe, you know, focus a little bit here. You're doing, you're making, dude, he's in recovery. We're, you know, we're meeting. Therapy. How long you've been in recovery for?

The last time I relapse was March 6 here. We're back to the scene of the crime. Yeah. That's why it's a quick in and out trip. True. Yeah. Austin gets people, though. I've heard something about it.

Apparently, New York, L.A., Pennsylvania. Delaware. So he's like, can you go back to L.A.? I'm like, it's not L.A., it's him. Which we just went to L.A. was great and did here and was great. Well, that's good, man. I'm happy for you. That's really interesting.

Yeah, no. So he's obviously, you know, all jokes. He's making great strides. That's obviously very tough. I got a tan. I look good. I got the watch. But the other day on the patient,

he goes, so all as I need to do was focus on getting better looking. And we're like, that's what you took from our intervention as Convers. He goes, he goes, he goes, no, I need to continue, I just need to continue

to get good looking. Yeah, looks max and bodies, he's right. He's, he's comicular. I got to get one of those eight-list actresses.

You lost 100? Like 120. Damn. Started at 435. I'm, uh, what we know about it could have been, could have been bumped up.

Damn. That's fucking wild, man. Yeah, that's that. That's that. Didn't really do much. Just puke it up and whatever.

Yeah. Got no bone marrow left. The Fogel claim that. the guy from Subway claimed that that's what made him pedophile. I said he lost so much weight that all that like craving just got. Well, that's kind of where that they say that with Zepbound, they say,

or like with the GLP ones that you're not curing the, like you have some sort of addiction and it was food at some point. And then like when you lose all this weight and you don't fill it with whatever or kind of correct something, you know, the drugs come back. A lot of people relapse on alcohol and stuff like that. Yeah,

I'll give them that. But it takes away the addiction to lose the weight. You know what I mean? Yeah. Does that make sense? sense. And since I'm in recovery and learning this stuff, it's actually working out a little bit. But it takes away the addiction. I have a food addiction for sure. I have a weird relationship with food. So it was like just,

you know, eat right, exercise, all that kind of stuff. I needed to take that away. It takes that away. Yeah. You know what I mean? It numbs that a little bit. Yeah. And then, yeah. I've heard that before. I remember there was those articles where it's like, GLP ones block the signal for love. It's like, yeah, so does, you know, just be a or two. I got that too. I'm in sex and love addict meetings and shit like that. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nice. A little bit of a menagerie. I got it all. Full of things. Yeah. I wouldn't know what real love is to be honest with it. Okay, fair enough. Went a little too far.

It's a comedy podcast, right? Whatever. I'm sorry about the goddamn credit card. Yeah, I feel you. I feel you on that, though. Thanks, Big Dog. Yeah, my heart froze a long time ago. Yeah, it really did.

Damn, dude. Cold. Cold-ass mother. I'm just a cold-ass motherfucker, bro. You're good dad. Yeah, I love your wife. All that stuff. You're doing well.

Good husband. Yeah. Got it. You always were a little cold, though. Like, you know, like a cold. Sicario kind of way. I'm a little cold. Ice cold.

He's an operator. I never got in a lot of one operator. I never got in the hole with him. He wouldn't let it. What? Anything. You can never go in the book with McCusker. Sure.

Right there. No longer on the book. Call it up. Then we used to drive. drop him off in some weird neighborhood. Yeah, you were... North Silly. Yeah, it was my...

That was my... That was my West Philly house. And me and Cotton were like, Jesus Christ, this guy's fucking crazy. It was funny because Cotton was... I wasn't far from him. Yeah. He was a little further west.

I think Cotton was the one who showed me the Blue Moon Motel. Did you ever see that place? No. I shouldn't even tell you. It's... I remember I was dropping him off and he pointed it out.

I was like, yeah, what the fuck is? I always see it. I'm like, what is that place? And he's like, oh, dude, it's like infested with prostitutes. I don't know if it's still there anymore, but right on like 50-something in West Philly, it's this like...

That was on the Amex, Bill. Stop it. That's crazy. That's too far. They said it'd come up as Expedia. Dude, it's right... I don't know if it's... I want to see if it's still there.

Chivago? It's just... It's one of those places. It's in like a, you know, a pretty depressed neighborhood. It's in like the middle of the hood, but then there's just bright blue building. It says the Blue Moon Motel.

And it's just... They're out there, dude. The walkers are out there. there and it's it's like yeah not a walker guy yeah like the high end that's good that's good really that is actually really good walkers that's tough stuff sure it's shut down there's uh so my my dad and his brothers all worked in chester for a long time right they would drive in and there was there was ladies that would just stand there like this in the morning that was like the price it's five bucks just crack just hold up their hand five bucks for you got to know your value yeah

it's like me and acting not auditioning obviously yeah you're going straight to the table straight to the table. I'm talking about. Right? Yeah. Nothing's coming in at all. And some of those you see those street workers, you're like,

fucking hot and shit, what are you doing? Yeah. And you like the party and you're fun, you're crazy. You're under valuing yourself. You should start, you should get behind one of them, man.

What I'm talking about? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Behind every Hallie Berry, there's a Tyler Perry, you know what I'm talking about? Wait, is that a thing? You just come up with that?

No, I saw it on a pim interview on something. See, I couldn't do it. I'm not tough enough. I mean, yeah, I would be those hoes would walk all over me. Yeah. I remember on Howard Stern. This guy is...

These hose would walk all over here. I'd be letting a money and shit. It's 12.30. Get the fuck out there. Fucking fat-ass. I'd be sucking dick. Take the day off, all right. And Howard Stern one time,

this guy called in when like Don the Juan, whatever his name was, you know, that guy. Bishop Don Juan. Yeah. And he was like, I think I...

Dude, you are tapped into the pimping world, dude. It ain't easy. Unfortunately, I am right now. You know his government name? Bishop Don Juan. What is it? Magic Bishop Don Juan or something? Yeah, something like that.

He had to, dude, that was crazy. He was just like an actual pimp and like kind of got pushed to the front of pop culture for like two years. Yeah, they were. They were hot for, he was in old school and shit.

They're making a comeback. They're starting to try to make a little bit of a comeback right now. Pimps? Yeah, yeah, pimp's. Really? Real pimp. Yeah, you don't need it.

Like street level. Because the only fans thing, they get kind of pimped out. Yeah. Only fans saying, dude, you know the only fans thing, apparently. So you get a manager.

and then you record a ton of content for a year and then you just stop. Yeah. And then you just have this like archives of content. Some boasts. Yeah, they're banking apps. They're going on the road. They're banking F and then it's just Lithuanian dudes.

A team of Lithuanian guys talking to guys jerking off. I like that. Sitting somewhere probably just getting like their ass kicked by like a Russian guy. Yeah, it's so good. Sad. You want them to enjoy it and do what they want and stuff. Yeah. Fucking crap.

Yeah, well, it's weird. The weird thing about like a, the weird thing about, like, uh, the weird thing about, about like pimping that I've like that I've been through my well there is a courtship element to it so like it is a business transaction but as a pimp the way you get your hose you're almost courting them because you're gonna control all their money yeah it's like so you have to go like hey

I'm gonna come in like we're friends I'm gonna let me take care of you and then it's like then it turns and it's like this is now yeah it's a different relation well yeah that I don't like that's if you're grill a pimping so if you're that's if you're beating them up and feeding your hair is there any other kind magic wand Don Juan says, it's all about love. Really? Yeah. Good for him. About love. You're going to be able to lay the pipe with that shit, though. Yeah, I'm out. Yeah, I'm out of the draft for sure.

I didn't pull that. Tiny dick, mother, I'd be yelling back at me. You like getting eaten out? She'd be like, I'm like, you're going to do what I say. You're almost done. I'm like, yeah, I'm almost done. Hold on. Thank you so much. Yeah. It's such a weird element to it where it's like, you think it's like purely transactional,

but it's like, it's all about like how you dress and your flash and then you get them. and then, you know, they're just, just your, that's your bitch. That's too much anxiety for me. Yeah, I couldn't. It's crazy. Dude, imagine having not one woman you were like completely psychologically dominating and abusing, but like seven. And then you have to organize all them and they're together in hotel rooms.

All right, listen up, ladies. Yeah. Here's the game plan for the game. Organizing meals and shit like that. Showers. Fucking brutal. I'd be where they're going to unionize and shit. I'd be fucking brutal.

I'd be Bezos on them. He's sending the union busters? I remember hearing that Walmart had like a team of private jet like they had like a team where like if somebody we learned it in business in college that like if there was a talks of a union at a local store like the manager had to pick up the phone call 1 800 like no unions and a team would assemble they'd hop on a fucking private jet and fly there that night that day and start fucking busting it up going who's doing what who's doing what get the fuck out of here dang crazy shit yeah i know there was a coffee shop in philly

where the uh baristas threatened to unionize and the guy just shut down every single one of his coffee shops. I'm like, fuck you guys. He's like, is it that bad? The what? To unionize or whatever to fuck? Doesn't Starbucks try to do that? I think they try to.

But it's just, you know. Yeah, my family, you know, everybody has been union construction from Philly. Philly still, I think there's only like eight cities that still have like trade unions. Yeah, yeah. It's like Chicago, you know, there's not that. Philly's a big union. Philly's a big union proud town.

All the men of my family, the cops, firemen are fucking union carpeting. carpenters, pipe fitters. So it's like, it's really good for the worker. It's not always fantastic for the... It's very expensive for that, for the businesses. For like a labor sweeping up, it's like 500 bucks a day.

Oh yeah, two plus what it cost you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's literally like 500 bucks. It costs you like, I think to have like a union plumber or like union pipe fitter a year, it's like minimum 200 and something. It costs you. Yeah. You have to like pay all their benefits, all their union dues,

all that. No, I've seen both sides of it too, because I was always, I worked non-union and then I remember my dad they were doing demolition and they started getting jobs like in the city so they were like

you guys got to be you gotta be union yeah but then you gotta like do that a little bit but then you can do non-union stuff on the side and they'll come like hey what else doing this

or I don't know it's crazy yeah sneak in the Guatemalan guys at night time and they show them they're like where if you're dude

three rooms are cleared out and guys like who the fuck yeah Steve's great I'm gonna look bad what the fuck I got a hot dog it's such a fun

and they'll come out You need like 10 more guys here. Dude, they send the business aid and shows. If you're like working in Jersey, it's like, oh, you're allowed one guy, but then for every one you bring over,

you got to bring one of their guy. Well, they'll be like, this looks like a lot of work here. You know, it's like stereotypically some fat Italian guy who gets out of a Cadillac

and my dad would be like, I'll fist fight you in this Acme parking lot. But it works for a percent of the time. My dad, that's the rule number of all, my dad goes, the walk is this one guy walked in and started yelling on the job site.

My dad goes, can I talk to you outside? Yeah. And the guy goes, whoa, whoa, what? He goes, yeah, if we're yelling this much, we're just going to fight in this party. Like, if nobody yells this much and doesn't want to fight. And they guys like, nah, let's be the way to talk about this. Be reasonable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, remove him from his audience. That's how you find out what tough guy is. And I was like, you're a crazy person. No, dude, the construction, it's like, uh, it is still a huge pissing contest. Yeah, and it was back of the day, it was very kind of mobbed up. If you would come and cut your hydraulic lines and, like, break your shit. Dude, if you like, steal the coax cable shit like that.

Yeah, they would fuck you up. If you put like, there was a time probably in the 80s and 90s. If you use like the non-union guys to install the windows of like your storefronts, they would drive a fucking car right through it. Dude, and then they have the rat. They have the rat. Yeah. Love the rat.

I do like the rat. Dude, I love the rat. I'm a rat guy. Dude, my, what are we doing? My uncle George wasn't my uncle, but on my holy community, my first holy community party, he had the rat outfit. Oh.

Like he was like a die hard union guys. He was getting ready to go or saying? I don't know. It was in the trunk. Now I think about it, it was a white Cadillac. No, he didn't have a clown outfit, so he dressed like the rat for his community. And he showed up on the commune and we were like, yeah. Like, dude, I never telling your friends, Kevin. Yeah, it was crazy.

Thinking back, I'm like, dude, we are just pure dirt bags. I still, I remember, and every time I drive by the rat and all the guys sitting out there, I still love driving by him. Get to work, you fucking bum. Fuck you, fuck you. Get to work, you fucking bumms. I mean, it worked for a minute, right? Didn't it work for a little while in the 50s?

It was good. I mean, yeah, I think, you know, but there's like, Pay for Las Vegas? I think the other, the other side of the coin from like a business owner standpoint is like, well, I'm paying for this guy to drive around in a fucking Cadillac. It's like, dude, I've, again, it's like, it is a nice thing. When there was like factory fires and we were just like standing on women's neck, like you're not fucking leaving until that was bad.

It is, what I've seen is like it's very good. But then you get like a bunch, say like electricians, they come in. Everyone's making like, you know, whatever, $250, $400, $500 a day. Friday they come in they work from like 7 to 9 they get coffee for 30 minutes coffee break they go to get lunch and they get hammered for three hours

and they come back a Friday like all right time wrap it up here early quits dude let's wrap it up dude we used to have a scene in my family's coming if it ain't done by noon on Friday it ain't fucking wrap that's Monday's problem dog go get a suitcase of beers

dude yeah you see like 10 electricians come in faces bright red like what's up mo what's you doing down here now he'd be like yo mo is big yo mo yo Yo-mo, yo-cause. What's up, cause.

I used to, we used to have to give this guy a fucking, one of the, one of our plumbers, I'd let him use my car, my like 2005 Mercury Montego. Because like, it was always, and they'd just drive it. He'd come in all fucked up. I'd be like, y' like, y' like, y'all let me take you a car. I'm like, I'll use the truck.

You take my car to drop site. I'll meet you fucking there and we'll swap it out. Dude, every time there'd be just like beer bottles in my back seat. And I'd like, dude, I'd be like driving home later that day and like, here just clinking. And I'm like, there's either, there was, There was a union construction worker. And like, dude, the one day there was a perk on that there was just a yellow school bus on the drive receipt.

I'm like, dude, you can't be doing this. Which is why when you think about it, the credit card thing isn't that big of a deal. Sure. From one drug addict to another. I think that shows that, right, gentlemen? A lesser of two evil. Don't make me get the rat. I'll put the rat in front of the studio.

The rat would be nice. Your charges were significantly more than a DUI would have cost me. An open container. I'd easily take that. Yeah, that is, because you get shit whenever you're like, well, if you look, because everyone's like, yeah, unions are great. It's like, it is a nice thing. I get both sides of it 100%.

You get the reality of it. And you're like, that I'd be kind of pissed if ever, if half my workforce that I was paying so much were hammered and leaving. But there's also, there's like really good guy. Like, you know, if you're like a really good guy, it's, you know, if you're a really good worker, those guys get a job and then keep it for a fucking, for 15 years. Or they go start their own company. And they start a non-union company.

They started non-union companies. This really has me thinking. Start a non-union podcast. We should talk after the podcast. I have some literature. You guys want to look. I have a feeling how many unionize? This is going to cause me a lot of money.

What do you mean? Jimmy Hoffa. I have a feeling this is going to cost me a lot of money. Dude, there we were working. Where's Kippy Berry? Do you kill me? I heard it's at the 50-yard line of the link. There is.

Remember when they tore down the old porn theater in Philly and it collapsed? killed somebody. What was the name of that? Oh. There was a porn theater right on... Fucking non-union dickheads

probably in there. Technically was, yeah. But they pulled on it and just collapsed and, like, killed some... There was a... We were working on the building next to it,

and it was like a four or five-story building and they cut the supports out because they wanted to build like six more stories on top of it. So they had like... They had the, this massive fucking, like, electrical power box

or the circuit box, whatever, so I'm... Now I'm sound like a fucking poser. I'm... electrical panels. Take the extension cordial cordial

union for the last 20 minutes. They had like an industrial electrical panel with like the thick copper bus bars. It's not even wires. It's just these hunks of copper. And one of the one of the fucking, apparently one of the iBews, uh,

finest came by late at night and try to break it, like to cut it out to take the copper. It was still live. So it was like 10,000. It was like Jurassic Park fence level. Dude, he got just launched across the basement. That's a high.

It got up and just walked out. Oh, no shit. Cut the power for the whole building. Dude, Nark candy was fine. Dude, I've worked with, I've been on the job site with construct with electricians.

And they're just like, or also non-electricians who are like, I'm like, you know, something, let's call the fucking electrician. Because I'm like sitting there with a plumber who knows how to do like,

you know, put in a fucking, you know, cut into a PVC pipe and put a fucking tea in there. Like, and he's like, I think it's dead.

And I'm like, we've been working on like at fucking Janartis or something. I'm like, well, let's just walk back. to the panel and see if it's all. He goes, I'm pretty short. And then he's like, sit there with like bolt cutters. And I'm like, dude, I don't know. And I'm back it up. Because I don't know how electricity works. And he's like, a pair of sunglasses. And dude, he's multiple times. Shout out to

Pete. He looked back in me and go, she keep my boots to my wife. And then quack. And I'm like, whoa, God, dude. Dude, I was, uh, I was working for electrician for a while. And we were in this building. And, you know, it's like a, like a three story building with a bunch of different things. They have like a, uh, dermatologist in one side. And all these different businesses. We were taking out one, but the, I guess the electric electricity was like kind of connected in these two suites. So I was, we're doing electrical demo. We're just pulling the wires out. And I had these little, I just so happened to draw like the little shitty snips that day. So I had these little insulated snips. So I cut, I can only cut half the wire at a time.

So I cut through this like thick, that metal like MC wire. I cut half of that. And I just see a blue current going through. And I go, huh, because if you don't, if you can, you can snip one at a time. Because if you don't connect the circuit or whatever. Like, I click that. I don't know any of that. Dude, so I clipped the neutral wire. So it wasn't like the black one's hot. I clipped the white one.

And I see like a little circuit just kind of going. I'm going, man, that's weird. So I go to get my foreman. I'm like, yo, dude, I think there's a, I think this is still hot. And he was like, he's probably left over from like when we cut it off. And I was like, dude. Quit being a pussy McCuskey. Yeah, I was like electricity.

There's just like leftover electricity that goes. It sounds like water sitting in a plane. Ah, no, that's, that's funny. It's from yesterday. That's a phantom charge. Ball lightning. Don't worry about it. Fuck that.

So I luckily, I'm up on a ladder. They're insulated, thank God. Because I didn't have an ins, I would have got cooked. So then I go, I cut it. It goes, boom, it puts a hole in the metal. Blows the insulated snips, but it's a big hole. They go flying across the thing. Power goes out.

There was a plastic surgeon in there. They lost power too. And he looks at me and goes, this didn't happen. I'm like, we're the only people in here. Like, it happened. And we need to figure it out now. Get one of the Guatemalan guys. That's,

It was they, like, they were apparently mid-procedure and they lost power. Oh, shit. Yeah. And he was like, this didn't happen. I'm like, no, this was a problem, dude. You have to deal with this right now. Oh, fuck that. I would have walked away.

That was the credit card down and dipped. Dude, I would have gotten, if I had non-insulated, I would have gotten thrown off a ladder. I would have fried. That was always the worst of like, fuck. I just would fuck up. I'm an idiot. So I'd just fuck up shit on the job. You know, I do stuff wrong.

And I'd forget. Did they say do this or do that? It was always my dad was my boss. And you had to ask questions. Third question to your dad's no more shameful walk. What I fucking tell you? Read the blueprint. I can't, dude, I can't read it.

That's the way he is now with the podcast. Fucking blue juice. Dude, go to my truck on the third panel. There's a blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, back there. It's like, fuck, what the fuck is it? Fuck. Come back.

Oh, dad, I couldn't find the request. He's like, well. We'd be on the roof putting in fucking units. And he'd be like, run downstairs and get my, fucking channel locks in my 718's fucking wonky dues. And I'm like, all right. So I got to walk across the roof of this fucking warehouse, climb down,

get like four ladders. I get out to the truck and I go, I can't find it. So now I got to go back with nothing. I couldn't find a wonky do's, you know, and he's like, they're fucking right next to the other wonky dudes.

I'm like, Jesus Christ. I remember handing a contractor of the drill the wrong way. Like handed it to him like, yeah. Fuck. Yeah. Fuck you. I know.

Give me your credit card. I do remember though because I grew up working on construction sites I never advanced from like basic helper Yeah no I was dude I can hold the shit

I can carry shit I can hold the light We use the term I use a good extra set of hands Yeah I was a good extra set of hands My dad would hit me with these Like I need you from the neck down today

That's all just carry shit I'd be like why don't we do this He would just go Hey man turn it off I need you from here down Can we say that one time I've been trying to set that up for you You just refuse to do it

I keep going When I do my dad would go, I go, I would do something. I go, I thought. And he goes, I'm not paying you to think. And I went, dude. That's so true. I'm not in a thinking role, man. I'm in a carrying shit role.

I'm not here to fucking refine the process. I'm just here to carry shit. That's it. Yeah, that was it. It was a pure body. The height of my accomplishments was we were setting units on a, I was doing shit that I shouldn't have been doing. Legally, union, everything wise.

Yeah. And we were like a two-man crew trying to set units with a crane on a fucking building. Yikes. And my dad's got to set them. My dad's setting or whatever. Who's running the crane? The crane guy. But they pull up, they go, hey, they're here.

Like, we're in and out. That's like a cement truck. They're like, dude, I got seven more. Yeah, let's go. I'm not, we're not. They're like $5,000. Yeah. So you're like, let's go.

So my dad goes, you got to fucking, because you couldn't see, he had to go, we had to go like 20 feet in. And my dad had to. Were you giving the signals? Oh, dude. Talk about tense. Like a third base. No, you really do.

Oh, yeah. Dude, up, down, hold. And I'm like, that was me being called into the, to close out the World Series, dude. You couldn't tell me shit. I was at the bar of my boys that day. Got, round it off. Look at the end. Drink so meat, hey, boys.

Dude, doing this. And tap it on the back of a truck to let them know they're all good to go. So my dick, dude. You load it up. You're good guy. It's like sending someone off in an ambulance. Yelling at somebody to back up a little more.

That acceptance of like, I'm just like, this is my reality for the next six out. This is just, I'm just going to be cold. We would sleep and we'd do overnights.

so we'd go to, you know, we'd have to be there at 10 p.m. and then work over night like digging, you know, we'd have to cut the fucking floor out of a supermarket, dig, expose the fucking main, cut the main, tie in. And as you're there, you'd hope the fucking, the night crew who's there stocking shelves would somebody would take a shit and then you'd be in a hole and the fucking turd would just come down. You're like, this fucking sucks, dude.

So you'd make the tie in, you'd make the tie in, you'd be six feet down in a hole. And someone's like, flush. and try to get out. It's like someone to do a hand grenade in. And then we'd like sleep in the car waiting for the fucking inspector to come. That sleep was so good though. Yeah, in a warm truck, KYW

plane. Yeah, that's nice. Snow shoveling was the best. Oh, that dude. You? Dude, my stepdad was driving the plow. I was in the middle. My brother was to the right and was the first time he let me crank heaters in front of them. Dude, the three of us in like a 1989 fucking, I think it was like a

Bronco and just crushing heaters. Yeah, we used to drive the plow. I never drove the pal. Never got. He's extra said, hey, it was never going to happen. I was shoveled. You were a surgeon with that thing. Dude, it was also, it was all, it was high school.

So, and depending on how much, if it was over a foot of snow, you would get like emergency or state of emergency rates. Yeah. So you would get like, it would get like 20 bucks an hour in cash. And we would just be out all night. The guy would come, just drop MGD in the snow. So we keep beers cold in the snow. So he would just give us beers. And we would just smoke weed and drink beer and just shovel of condominium complexes.

and it was just like, and then in the end, we'd lay in a house and just eat pizza and get so high. Oh, this is the best. Best. Hot chat. I just made fucking $400. Yeah. I'm going to blow it in two hours.

Oh, it's gone. It's gone. You hear that you young kids? I got a QP on the way. Finally get a QP. It's amazing. Shout out, dude. The second, your boys could get a QP.

I was like, you had another level of adulthood. You said this other day, which finally sunk into me. I spent every dollar I've ever. ever made in my life. That's awesome. That's crazy. He's been working. I go, you've been working for 40 years. And you haven't saved the one. Kind of. That's a, that's a, that's a hundred percent efficiency. That's how you're wrong. Nice. That's like to keep the economy fucking moving. Hey, you know, what you're talking about? You're a man of the people. So listen to you kids out there. It's these kids probably. You don't want to win, do you? That's these kids's problem. They don't

want to spend money. That's a problem. Yeah, you got to spend money to make money, dude. You got to spend $4 million on a house. That's what it is. You want to get four bedroom colonial? $4.5 million in your parents' neighborhood. The houses, dude, houses are crazy. Crazy. If you want to get a house, like, we were looking outside of Philly

in, like, the suburbs of Philadelphia. Oh, forget it. Every fucking house was a million. It's a million dollars. A million dollars. Yeah, fuck that. I was like, it's insane. I mean, it's like obviously not every single house,

but like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it gets to the point where you're like, okay, if I won this size and like the kind of this okay, even like okayish condition? Dude, I remember hearing a house. house for 600 grand and being like,

Trad wise. True. Yeah. We come passport bros. But yeah, it's the housing market's fucking crazy. And I've heard there's so many baby boomers that we have a housing market set up for like a population that's eventually going to dip off.

so we're going to eventually have way more houses than we need. Nice. They don't want to give them up. No. Not now. There's still a premium on them. Yeah, now's a premium. But when all the baby boomers croak, there's going to be like a surplus

as the population is on a dip. Well, I thought the baby, didn't the baby members have kids? So it's like, we're not having kids. They had less kids than they had and we had less kids and they had. Yeah, that's above my pay grade. I'm an extra set of hands, dude.

Yeah. I don't know. I'm below that guy. I think people will fill in those houses, though, for sure. I think we'll get people. coming in. Yeah, I don't, uh, that, that's, that's, any sort of macro level issue. Yeah.
