Men At Work Podcast - Limitless Off the Zyns in Bradley Cooper's Hometown

Episode Date: September 18, 2024

Kyle Pagan and Matt Peoples are recording a podcast on Thrive's 10mg edibles and Zyns in Bradley Cooper's hometown to talk to the good people of Jenkintown, PA at some street festival. We talk about the Donkeys vs. the Elephants and the hottest presidents of all time before learning about present day goth culture and what is this year's hottest costume from a college student that works at Spirit Halloween. We then talk to Stephen J. Vattino who is unemployed BUT is also a comedian, painter, writer, and competitive pumpkin carver. He tells us some jokes, why he was fired, his gout, what he misses most about drinking, and more. Matt reacts to Kendrick Lamar headlining the Super Bowl as he takes another L aboard the SS Drizzy. A UPS Driver than comes on and talks about his 34 years in the delivery game, his rivals, RING doorbells snitching, and what kind of packages "fall off the truck". The inconsiderate people walking through the podcast drives Kyle to take an edible and discovering shrooms at a wedding. Finally a clothing designer fresh off a car accident comes on and talks about his clothing brand, would he give a shirt to Drake or Kendrick first, and if he ever thinks about if he died in that accident would it have been better for his brand. We finish with Vito's Corner and he might be a scab ready to cross the picket line. Check out our sponsor Thrive Flower! Thrive sells real cannabis products outside of the medical system.

Which, by the way, hey, overrated movie. Best Cooper movie. Overrated movie. What's the best Cooper movie? Best Cooper movie?

Gimme Hangover, dude. Let's just be honest with ourselves. Hangover is an absolute bop. Is he limitless? No, how is that? Limitless is basically like he took like a... A zen. A zen, yeah.

He took a zen and became like the smartest man in the world yeah that's kind of how it goes dude the zen does make you limitless like b coops if you're out there you're ripping us in while you're listening to this we first of all we appreciate it so much but if you're out there throw us in in listen to the boys get limitless like b coop because we're in his hometown dude kyle's off a couple a couple things couple one two things himself edible thrive a little 10 milligram Delta-8. We like Delta-9. Excuse me.

We like Delta-9. We do not like Delta-8. It's just our boys at Thrive. Thrive, baby. Here where we have the Jake and Dan Arts Festival. Yeah, there are a couple tents over from us. The Thrive boys are hanging out.

So what's the review? What do we think? Oh, I love it. Yeah? Yeah, this is awesome. Yeah, you're a very, you've been a very sweet, happy-go-lucky guy,

which you normally are, but I think this has unlocked something. Yeah, but now my motor functions are kind of deteriorating, so I feel like I'm just staring through someone's soul when they're talking. Because obviously we're filming this intro after we've already filmed the interviews and stuff. Yeah. So I'm just staring between this guy's soul and his third eye, and I'm not contributing to the podcast at all. You know, a lot of guys can't find the third eye, so you should count yourself lucky, dude. You go down there.

I kind of like kyle on edibles go bulls i hate to say i think kyle on edibles might be the new move you might just have to get addicted to marijuana weed nah every every every 50 podcasts okay so it's a ceremonial thing this i guess is number 25 so it's kind of like we are celebrating a little bit that's a quad centennial thing wow yeah how do you like that quad centennial's got to sound nuts when you're high we're halfway through the year on podcast. Can you believe that? It's your fault why we released these guys.

Release who? Why we released these bots. It's their fault. Yeah, it is. If you guys didn't come back, we would never talk to you ever again. It's actually a great point. The fact that we think this might stink, but you guys love it. I actually don't think it stinks.

I love this pod. But the fact that you guys keep listening, that's why we're here, baby. As long as you guys are still in the comments fighting about who voted for who, we're going to keep doing another podcast, dude. What did you think about the debate? Did you watch it after we got home? Yes. Because we left right when the debate started. What did you think?

I think the elephants are becoming donkeys. Really? They're becoming pussies. They are huge pussies. Kyle, you might be on something dude like i've never seen a group doing complete 180 like this complaining about three on one and he's like he's kind of become a pussy yeah he doesn't hit like he used to because he's i think it's a new republican party like you're saying and people don't want to talk about that, but 2016 Trump hit fucking differently. He went nuts.

And look, I'm not. We have no affiliation. But it was something that none of us have ever seen. Also, I hate when we say we have no affiliation. Who gives a fuck? All right? If you don't like us because you vote for some way and you think we vote another way, fuck you.

And if you don't like us because we put out a reel that we didn't edit at all and we just showed you how somebody spoke to us and you think we're the bad guys that's on you yeah dude we're getting bot comments people keep yawning at us being like you made her look bad i'm like literally for real yeah for real we didn't do anything to the video she looks exactly how she looked anyway but no it's kind of funny i do think it's like when uh uh mrs harris when she did uh i'm not even gonna bother when she did the whole thing talking about like uh one of her most recent speeches she's like we will have the strongest military on the planet i'm like dude that's republican talk what are you talking about that's not dim and dude they both lied which is like hilarious but he just he fibbed so hard yeah you can't be you can you can

tell fibs you can't go to white Lies. Yeah, of course. And he went to Black Lies Matter. He went to... No, Kamala was going with Black and Indian Lies. He went above and beyond. Yeah. And it was crazy. No, but the K-Dawg Mrs. Harris, or probably our president,

we love her. We think she's great. I hate to say it, she's kind of hot. Oh, yeah. Oh, she's hot, yeah. Kam is on she is 100 gonna be our hottest president i can't even think of like somebody that's even close to that lincoln lincoln was not as hot as you'd think but the only thing is that i think they have a pretty well established that lincoln was gay so he might have been like if you were a gay guy in 18 he's not's not hot. He's so overrated. It's crazy.

Barack? Barack's up there. Barack's top five. Barack's top five. There's a couple dudes back in the day that look like Edgar Allen Poe that were pretty cute, but nothing that would really knock your socks off. We might be looking at a Bill Clinton. Yeah, Clinton had that white-ish hair.

Barry Obama might be our hottest one. Obama probably was the hottest one. He's probably number one. Kamala's going to take him out. Concede him, yeah. And is there some kind of irony that there are only presidents of color and they're the hottest ones? Yeah, but look, dude. Black don't crack.

It's a melting pot. Black don't crack and they're also the hottest. Yeah, I just like, I've been kind of, because I like a good fair fight. Yeah. And I just feel like the elephants are just complaining too much. They've lost their fastball. Yeah, it's way too much. They usually just laugh at the donkeys, and the donkeys are kind of now laughing at them.

Like, I saw some donkey memes that are like, oh, that hit hard. That was good. I know. I was like, you guys are different now. The Dems have finally figured out that they have the internet on their side. Yeah. And they're utilizing it. Yeah.

Where the Republicans are throwing out mom arguments, dude. The same stuff that my mom yells at me about is what Republicans are like, you guys don't even care if we're here or not. Everybody's being mean to us. You don't even listen to what we say. It's like, guys, come on. Do something cool. Do a backflip.

Yeah, dude. That's what I'm whispering. Yeah, I just, no, it's been an interesting social experiment. And I don't think I'm voting. I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm just like not going there. Do I know where my place is? No. Have I also found another place and they wouldn't let me vote there during,

I guess, the primaries or something like that? Because I don't know why I wanted to vote, but I did. Yeah, and they kicked me out because I wasn't registered. I thought I was registered. Were you embarrassed? Did you feel goofy? No, I just got to go home. Dude, you know our podcast stance?

Here it is. I'm telling you right now, I'm speaking on behalf of me, Kyle, and Vito. Creed 2024. Creed, the band, should be the president. With arms wide open. With arms wide open. Is that a Second Amendment thing now? Oh, true.

With arms well regulated. Nah, dude, Creed 2024. We'll see you on the other side. Hey, before we get longer into the episode, we want to talk about our sponsor, Thrive Flower.

What do you do for a living?

Well, I just started college the other day. I'm over at Penn State Abington. I mainly selected biology and sociology since I want to be a paleontologist in the future. Study fossils. Right now, I work at Spirit Halloween. And, well, I'm not very good with money. What I mean by that is, well, look, I work in a Halloween store. So what else are you going to expect an 18-year-old to do with all of his money? Sure.

Yeah, what are you buying? Mostly just costumes, fog machines. I have four giant animatronics, and I finally got the green light from my mom to set them up this Halloween. That's awesome. As you should, dude. You spend your paycheck on that. You should be able to set up your animatronics. Oh, hell yeah.

So you're working at Spirit of Halloween? It sounds like you're buying a lot of their wares. You're getting fog machines and such? Oh, well, look, I work there and I buy from there. What's the discount like? Discount's 30% off the entire store. I just got my best friend Sebastian to work there, too. That's always nice. Nice, dude.

Damn. 30%? Yeah, 30%. I mean, we make $15 an hour. And granted, I'm only in there like one or two days out of the week, which is a little frustrating seeing how I just gave my schedule to my boss, but he doesn't really... Well, I gave him a new default schedule. I'm just a little bit disgruntled that I don't work that much and I want to work more.

So you want to work more at the store. Said nobody ever, except for me. Except for you. Halloween stores just rock. They rock. It's obviously a seasonal thing. What are you doing outside of being at the Halloween store? Because you're a young lad. I mainly just watch One Piece on the couch.

What's One Piece? Basically, it's this show with way too many episodes and it's about pirates. They made it into a live action Netflix series. My dad, he's not show with way too many episodes, and it's about pirates. Yeah, they made it into a live-action Netflix series. My dad, he's not the biggest fan of it. No. Hey. What costumes are moving at Spirit Halloween?

Yeah, what's the big sellers? I couldn't really say. I mean, Beetlejuice is big. Beetlejuice? Yeah. I'd be willing to bet it's because of the whole movie that just came out. We're also seeing a lot of Ghostface sales. We even made a partnership with the Scream franchise and now we have

a Ghostface animatronic, which is a little bit expensive. It's $280. Sure, that's nothing compared to the CryptiKeeper, which is $400 for some reason. Spencers, I'm looking in your direction. We're talking to them right now. We're talking directly to Spencers. So do you notice, do you get a lot of

couples coming in that are like not even doing it for the Halloween thing? They're just doing some kind of weird stuff at home. It looks like occasionally. Yeah. I'm also just to help people find stuff. I'm a sales associate. So I usually go around store asking people, hey, do you help find anything?

I ran into quite a few couples and a couple other people I know. How miserable are the boyfriends? Oh, they're. Well, how miserable can boyfriends get yeah when you gotta go do your couple's costume yeah all you want to do is just be like he man goth couples goth couples yeah goth couples i mean like no harm done but the female goth is always so nice and then the male goth he just uh you just ask him hey do you need help with anything and then i just get the stare from one guy.

But we don't have to... Let's just pretend that didn't happen. Well, those goths, they don't have a lot of personality to begin with. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Some of my best friends are goths. Really? They're really nice people. It's just that some of them are just really, really aloof for some reason. They're sick and twisted. That's all it is. Too much Manson.

Marilyn. The goth couples. So you see a lot of goth people coming in the spirit of halloween you have goth friends what does it read on goths these days they were big in the early 2000s i feel like they're making a resurgence they're scary i couldn't really say what the actual fact is but seeing how we have all sorts of dark culture and that accumulated up to the modern day yeah and sure that sounded a little bit vague but yeah are they still like looked at as school shooters because that's back in the day we looked at them as like school shooters because all we had

to really go out was columbine and everything oh my god like the trench coats and all that that was always like the scary like when we see goss you saw goss like the chain stuff like you see him at like the uh the church fair and everything like holy shit that guy's either gonna take my soul or he's gonna shoot up my school but now are like goss cooler now i'll tell you what though at least we're buying into new laws that help prevent school shootings. Sure, true, true.

But are the goths now, are they like kind of like... Oh, not at all. What do they look at now? No, no, no, no, no. The vast majority of the goths I met are really good people.

Yeah. I think they just need to be, and I know this sounds a little silly, I think they just need to be tickled. I think if you tickle a goth, you unlock something

inside of them that'll finally let the happiness come back inside of them. Oh, come on, man. You don't think so? Have you ever tickled a goth? What? No, I've never tickled a goth.

How can you tell us we're wrong when you've never tickled a goth? Jesus Christ. And of course you asked beforehand. Okay, okay, okay. Let's just get back on today. Oh, no, yeah, of course. Sorry, we sidetracked you.

Oh, no, you're fine, you're fine. I'm actually having a lot of fun. We might have left the boat. We might have to keep going with the goth culture right now. I do. I'm so fascinated by it because I remember growing up, my cousin was very into goth. And that was like... And then emo came.

Remember emo came? Emo was big. We started emo. Is emo still around? Like a little like dashboard confessional, a little My Chemical Romance? And what decade was that? What is it? What decade was that?

Early 2000s. Yeah, late 2000s, early 2010s. Yeah. Yeah. So emo was like real big all right yeah so that was like your goth that didn't want to like that's a goth that like wanted to go out in the sun when you know the prozac was kicking in okay any other questions for me you guys no all right then i think this interview is over fair enough all right thanks for hanging out buddy we appreciate it man have, man. Have fun today. Cheers, brother. All right. Cheers. Thanks, brother. Here's all the socials for you and everything.

Thanks, dude. I like that he called the interview. Yeah. That was awesome. I think he heard school shooters and was like, yeah, I'm not going to. Are you coming on? Appreciate it. Thanks, buddy. Oh, big dog.

Let's go. Let's go. So what's your first name? My name is Steven J. Batimo. Oh, man. We have a lot of government names. This is another suburb thing, man. You ask somebody in Philadelphia, what's your name?

They're like, Tyler. Yeah like Tyler yeah Tyler Tyler maybe okay yeah I'm F dog I'm F dog I'm I'm your slime 420 Glock who am I I'm but anyway sorry yeah well she's gonna get Steven yes Steven and what do you do for a living Steven well I actually I am unemployed now but i'm start because of physical problems and get disability i'm sorry to hear yeah i'm actually an artist comedian writer poet competitional pumpkin carver wow yeah the whole gamut yeah i do a lot and uh you know i spend any of my time when i used to work outside of work my second job would be to be an artist Got it. Like I would I would go do like once when I do open mic stand up

I would do pumpkin carving contests where you have to carve the pumpkin live You don't know what size it is. What color is what shape is what condition it's in? Yeah, but you only got eight hours to carve it. Yeah, you have eight hours to carve it Yeah, that seems like all so these are some big gourds oh yeah six about five to six inches thick how do you get into that how did i get into it well i'm an artist and i was walking around at one of the shows yeah chad's ford's one of the biggest uh the great pumpkin carve it's called put on by the historical society chad's board and uh i went to one of the shows and i said, you know, I should be doing this because I'm a super talented artist. Humble guy.

I should put my hand to the play. I'll try it out. Yeah. I've been doing it for 17 years. So did you ever get into like any other kind of anamorphic kind of arts like ice sculpture? You know, I would like to try some of that sand sculpture. You ever see the show Sandblasters? I've never seen the show, but I've been to the Jersey Shore.

Yeah. Sandblasters where you're on team, and you've got a design. You've got a week to make the design, and people weaponize their design to try to destroy other people's designs. Are you sure you just weren't watching the War in the Middle East on Fox? Yeah, I was going to say, I think my dad used to call people Sandblasters. And I think what is every other day, they mine one of the sculptures, and they blow it up. Yes, okay.

And then you have to start over. You can either go back, restart your design or pick something easier. But you have to have it done by Friday, the end of the week. And someone just blasts your sculpture? They do it. The show. Oh, the show does it. It's a little hijinks.

You don't know when it's happening. They don't make everybody go away, go do something for does it. It's a little hijinks. You don't know when it's happening. They don't make everybody go away, go do something for two hours. It's crazy. And they don't mind somebody's sculpture. And then people knowing that they might be mined, they'll make like hard bowls, so when their sculpture gets blown up,

it takes out somebody else's sculpture. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah, okay, makes sense. That's pretty cool. That's pretty sweet. I like that. That's an awesome show. That's a good time.

I would like to do that. So is the pumping carving, is that kind of like, I imagine my girlfriend makes me pumpkin carve once a year. Yeah. And I think it's a romantic thing. Does that help you with the ladies at home or showing them I got a couple of skills with the pump? Well, you know, when you're showing them knives and stuff.

Okay. Yeah. Well, you hold them face down. You know, what's this guy going to do to me when I'm asleep? If I say no tonight, I got a headache. I may not wake up maybe. Well, she's scared of the knives, but she sees your work and she's like, I could use

a jack-o'-lantern on my stomach. That could be kind of fun. Yeah, so I'm also a painter. Okay. And a comedian too, you said. Yes, a comedian too. So you do stand-up. Do you have any jokes you could run by us? We could kind of workshop a couple things. Well, a comedian, too. So you do stand-up. Do you have any jokes you could run by us? We could kind of workshop a couple things. Well, let's see.

Okay, here's one for you. There's this guy. He's seven foot tall, probably about 400 pounds. That's Kyle, yeah. And that's Kyle. And he's there with his little mother. She's only four foot tall. She's only about 85 pounds. And they walk up to this judge.

And the judge is looking down from over his glasses, looking at the mother, looking at this big, huge monster. And he goes, yes, may I help you? And the goof, the orator, this monster says, yes, I would like to sue my mother he said what the hell do you crazy why do you want to see your mother he said well you see everybody is what they eat right yeah so if my mother would have would have gave me the titty when I was growing up. I might have been a rocket scientist. I might

have been an engineer. I might have cured cancer. But instead, she raised me on cow's milk. That's why I'm as big as an ox and dumb as a steer. Does that one land? Does that one do well? You know what I do?

When I usually get up there. Like, you're sitting in line with other performers. Got it. So what I would do is I will pick the ones I like, and then I'll tell my other performing people before me while they're waiting and I'm waiting my jokes. They say, that one's good. That wasn't so funny.

Yeah. Can you trust them though and then yeah maybe they take them maybe everything like they respond like a joke got like taken because you like shared it with somebody like yeah that's not that good and then they rework it and they do it a bit better well you know what if we went around we like I have a book that I put out so I'm an artist and a poet too and I I put out a book a collection of my work and it was on it's on Amazon it's available on of my work, and it's on Amazon. It's available on Amazon right now.

Okay. And it's called Steward of the Harvest, if anybody wants to look it up. Author is Steven J. Vitimo. So if you look underneath Steven J. Vitimo, Steward of the Harvest, then you'll see the book. Okay.

So the book, what I found out is... So are you like a Stephen King type author? Like you rip a couple lines before writing type thing? Like you have any vices that kind of get the creative juices flowing? Oh, he does rip a couple lines. It's jokes. That's exactly right. And sometimes I rip a couple lines if I have too much baked beans.

Oh, okay. I like that. Yeah, let's just think about that for a second, right? So you rip lines before baked beans. I respect that. Yeah, let's think about that. We're sitting here saying like, ah, we should save the planet. We should save the planet.

Yeah. Okay, so you want me to get rid of my sports car, but does that mean that we should get rid of Taco Bell? It causes people to fart. Why can't we have those? And we've got to get rid of the cows and the sheep to save the planet. CO2 emission you're talking about. Right, so are we going to get rid of all the Taco Bells? They make people fart.

That's pretty fair. Wow. That's mean. I literally had Taco Bell yesterday. That's pretty fair. I can see that. You seem like a guy who cuts a mean fart. Yeah, I can. What about Taylor Swift on stage cutting a beefy? Did she rip a hot one? You gotta go on YouTube. She sits there and cuts one and goes

like that. So I guess the mic's picked it up? The mic's picked it up or was there a little blowback? She was holding the mic by her I guess she must have been crancing up and down the stage.? She was holding the mic by her. I guess she must have been prancing up and down the stage. She stopped and put the mic by her. Really?

And farted and everyone heard it. Dude, there must be some wild YouTube searches. It's got to be. Yeah, Taylor Swift fart. I will say she's got to have either one of the most incredible smelling farts ever or truly the most abhorrent smelling dead body? What would a Taylor Swift fart smell like?

What do you think? Do you have any thoughts about what a T-Swift fart? Do you think it would smell like something from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory? Well, it would probably smell like whatever CO2 emission

smells like. True. Do you think when she farts a bunch of Oompa Loompas rush up to her and sniff her pants? Maybe. That was me.

I did it one time. Now everybody talks about it. But I think she's got private jet farts. Because she's got the big CO2 emissions with all the private jets she's taken. And then she's sitting on there ripping hot ass. She's double dipping. Yes. She's destroying the ozone layer.

Yes. Now, did we get tax credits for her or lose tax credits for the emissions? Only one way to find out. You know how countries do that? They get emissions credits. Really to find out countries do that they get emissions yeah uh credits yeah really like yeah you know that like one country could sell another country that's tax emission it's uh emissions uh credits whatever it is right right right so they stay within the save the planet yeah that makes sense yeah so are you like a are you a climate change guy are you worried about all this what do you think are you gonna cut my mic off as i say no are you not are you pro polar bear you anti polar bear worried about all this? What do you think? Are you going to cut my mic off as soon as I say it?

No, are you not? Are you pro polar bear? Are you anti polar bear? That's all it comes down to. This is what I think. I think the reason why we have a lot of areas being hit and being destroyed by weather is because man's building. Like New York.

You know, New York City, most of that used to be a swamp. They filled in all that land to make it a city sure you know what i mean well louisiana right where that sea wall went out well that was under sea level that you got cameras here dude sorry yeah it's okay it's okay all of that land where they built that was louisiana right they built all that up yeah it used to be swamp so you're building underneath. Yeah. So you're building walls to try to keep back the sea. Right. But you're actually building where you shouldn't be building. Oh, okay.

Because it's not natural for you to build there. Yeah, got it. So we can't change this. Like my sister, she wants me to come live with her. Yeah, right. I'm a crippled guy. Yeah, I'm going to go live down in southern Florida where there's alligators in every every in every pool you know i mean like could you imagine a guy without the right to run away from an alligator no honestly i'm a simple happy meal yeah i mean you're a happy meal you are a

bit of a happy meal yeah or how about all the anti-condas that got loose from all these hurricanes yeah all the people with these exotic pets really and they get loose and loose. And now they got like 30-foot pythons. Yeah, but even I think you could outrun an anaconda. I don't know. Maybe not a gardener snake, but an anaconda. They're slow, dude. I actually had swimming in my sister's pool one time. I came up.

I was visiting down there. I came up the surface, and there was a snake swimming right next to my face. No way. If that would have been a poisonous face snake, I mean, a poisonous face, right? You would have had a poisonous face. Of course, same, yeah. Yeah, what do you got, a poisonous face or a garg mean, poisonous face, right? Yeah. You would have had a poisonous face. Of course, same. Yeah. Yeah.

What do you got? Poisonous face or gargoyle face? Yeah, no, you judge. What kind of face do you have, Matty? Yeah. CeraVe. I put it on moisturizer this morning for the first time in two years. Neanderthal face.

Turns out it's not supposed to hurt when you smile. You just have to moisturize your face. That's a fun fact. Yeah, there you go, right? What were you doing before you were unemployed? I was actually, it's funny, i've done everything you could think i was electrician for 15 years i did telecom for three years installing you know big companies setting them up for all that technical garbage from computers faxes phones the whole thing i i worked for comcast for 10 years basically managing a warehouse.

Got it. Managing a warehouse, doing all that stuff. The job I just lost now was actually I was working for a pharmaceutical company. Got it. What were you doing there? What we were doing is we are like a logistics company. We bring all these big-name pharmaceuticals and materials in. We have the materials set to us, and then we hold it until it's needed for like a trial study.

Okay. You know what I mean? And then we make kits for them, like companies, they need kits made to give the trial study patients. You know, so that's basically it. We move material from one country to another. You said you lost a job, though. What happened with that?

They took away my job, which is funny, because when I started working, I weighed about 350 pounds. Okay. I mean, oh, he's beefing. You're beefing, yeah. Imagine those farts.

Those are nuclear bombs. I don't think people heard my farts. I got lost in my ass. They never found their way out. That's national treasure, dude. Maybe through your laser, you're a... You have to lay loads. They never found their way out. All right. You know what I mean? That's national treasure, dude. Maybe through your laser arrow. You have to lay loads.

Maybe I moved one leg apart and the other in air skates. You know what I mean? It's like the air coming out of a balloon. What's that? Yeah. It's got a far marionette in it. I like that. Okay.

So anyway, back to working out at Blue Knot World. Okay. My job was we used these things called lifts yeah i don't know if you ever saw uh johnny quest yeah remember in the beginning the cartoon one of them them things were flying through there just standing up sure they're like around a cage around them yep well that's these lifts wittical waves as they look like you're like in a little cage and you can lift yourself yeah and it's got a train You just keep that microphone What's that? You just keep the microphone by

Okay We want to hear everything you're saying Okay We're back again We're back again We can hear you, you're good How you doing? Yeah

I like the sound of my boy Sure you weren't looking over that? So sure you weren't looking over that? Yeah Getting on the intercom like Hello everybody Hello everybody It's Stevie boy again

You should hear the funny You should hear the funny things I do Because I'm home now because I got the gout. Yeah. And the arthritis that I fired. What is it? What activates the gout? Like salmon? Gout is actually uric acid.

Yeah. And some people's bodies stop getting rid of it out of their blood. Yeah. Yeah. So you're like a freaking piggy bank. One of them old-fashioned clay piggy banks. And it just keeps building and building. stop getting rid of it out of their blood yeah yeah so you're like a freaking piggy bank one of them old-fashioned clay piggy banks and it just keeps building and building and then it attacks your joints like yo my my knee could be four like a foot and a half wide yeah for like four days and

not be able to stand or walk oh my god and the pain yeah i can't imagine the pain is continual it's never stopped you can't sleep it out you know the only way to get to sleep is if you pass out. Yeah, okay Yeah, but the pain is constant. You can't stand you can't walk there. So what activates the gal and well, so that's the thing They say it's from Heritage hereditary. Yeah, my mom had it But supposedly certain foods just put it this way I must have sinned really bad in my last life because now all I'm allowed to eat is cardboard and bean sprouts.

Oh, geez. You know what I mean? I can't. You know, I want it to be like an Olympic. I want it to try out for the Olympics being an alcoholic. Go for the gold. Yeah, beer Olympics. You can't do that no more.

You can't do that no more. You can't drink. You can't drink or you'll end up in your bed not being able to walk. I think that's something that I never, it didn't dawn on me until now, but the Olympics should have more drinking games. I think so, too. How about quarters? Quarters would be nice.

Hockey, we call it. Yeah, quarters, right? What was your go-to drinking game? Well, actually, you know, to be honest with you, even though I do like to drink and I don't drink anymore because I can't. Oh, you're going to miss it. And it's like I love lobster. I can't eat lobster anymore. Because you're out. Same problem. Do you miss drinking? Yeah. And I don't drink anymore because I can't. Oh, you got to miss it. And it's like I love lobster. I can't eat lobster anymore.

Because you're out. Same problem. Do you miss drinking? Yeah. Is it so fun? The fun is I like different beers. I like tasting beers from around the world. Yeah.

I'm a connoisseur. Connoisseur? Yes, the connoisseur. Yeah. Not the monster. Not the monster. What do you miss the most about drinking? I don't know.

I just like tasting different beers. Oh, okay. You're a secular. Friday, 70 degrees out. I did one thing stupid. Okay, I'm going to just tell you something. I did something stupid. Let's hear it.

I don't think anybody in the world could ever do this and still live. I took a 32-ounce bottle of 72-proof vodka, drank it in 15 minutes while watching the phillies lose the first round in the world series back in back in that was something oh nine something probably oh nine when they lost the yankees yeah yeah and i ate to make it worse i ate a white pizza with it so i could have died but i woke up just in time to throw up like 10 times. Holy shit. It was like a roller coaster. An ongoing roller coaster.

Yeah, I think that's the ingredients for mustard gas. Gowin' and gowin' and gowin', dude. So yeah, the fun part was when you think the ride's over, you get over to dry heaves in your throat. Because when you throw up that much, the acid rips up your throat. You're dehydrated. Your head's exploding you know we get past all that sunday comes we're back you know and you're back i'll see you again but here's the reason why there's a game too for a week for a week right open up the door to my house like i'd come back from work a nice breezy maybe there's some flowers in the air. All of a sudden, I'd open up that door, smell like a baboon took a shit in my nose.

Yeah. I mean, that somewhere, someplace. Sure. That barf found its way to hide. I love it. It's like trying to get rid of cockroaches. It's definitely in the walls. Oh, 100%.

Yes. It's living within the walls. And until I got rid of that barf, found all the barf hiding places. Yeah, let's play Huntington's Secret with barf. Oh, so you were. It's a new activity for your kids. So you were so messed up, you were just barfing wherever you barfed. Oh, dude, I was like, you know, I woke up.

If I could have died, I could have choked to death. Yeah, yeah. Genghis Khan? But you went out like a hero's death. I would have been like Jimi Hendrix. Yeah. I would have Jimi Hendrix'd if I had no guitar near me. Yeah.

I think I had a painting or two. I didn't even have like a magazine with a guitar on it near me. You probably were so fucked up that you thought you were Jimi Hendrix

for a little bit. When you get halfway through that bottle, you got to feel like you are the man. If I had a half a bottle of vodka and a white pizza to myself,

that's guy bliss. Women don't understand how great that is. Is this heaven? No, it's just alcoholism. Must be. Yeah, true. Well, I love it. Let me. Is this heaven? No, it's just alcoholism. Must be. Yeah, true. Well, I love it.

Let me tell you this thing here. So what I was telling you was, because I couldn't use the lift. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. They said I was too heavy. But you used to be 350. Right.

I was only like 320 at the time. Okay. Now, after about the time that they fired me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there were a lot of bigger people than me using that lift. I gotta think those lifts

can carry a little bit more than 350 pounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Picking up heavy pallets and stuff like that? So, anyway, they fired me. Damn.

And it's like, well, yeah, I can't really lose weight because I can barely walk. Right. You know what I mean? What do you think about the Ozempic?

Any consideration on the Ozemp? What is that? Ozempic is like the new big fad weight loss drug. Apparently, like,

everybody's on it now. All the celebrities are on it. You take it and it, like, suppresses your appetite. You shit nonstop. You haven't heard

about the Ozempic. It sounds fun. How do you get to parties, though, if you're shitting all the time and your breath smells like bad boon's ass?

Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean... I mean, how do you go up to the girls? Oh, hey. Sometimes they might like it. They like to have moxie. You have some confidence. You want to get home with me?

Yes, yeah, you know, I mean, that's the cross we bear. Yeah, take her home on your Lyft, get her back to the house. Yeah, right. So, yeah, they fired me. So, they fired me. So, now I'm going to get this ability because I hired a lawyer. Yeah. Believe it get disability because I had to hire a lawyer.

Yeah. Believe it or not, you have to hire a lawyer. If you didn't hire a lawyer, they would kick you back the first time you try. And usually, you got to wait like two or three years, like disabled. Wow. Not working at all before they even try to give you disability. Got it. So, I paid for a lawyer.

And so, that's why now I'm on disability And I'm going to try to figure out Something I can do part time So that I can do my art most of the time Got it, nice Because when you're a really talented artist It sucks to go to work And not spend more time

Being somebody's chimp Than you using your talent and skills You know what I mean then you using your talent skills yeah i mean i might i might try uh uh uh doing some more stand-up now i'm not working should because now i'll tell you why because now i could go i want to worry about going to work the next day yeah yeah you know what i mean yeah but so how does that help stand up well because usually you don't get on until like 11 or 12 o'clock. It's your time. And then by the time you get done and you ask the bartender how you did while you were drinking and taking a drink or two, he tells you how great you are.

You were awesome, right? Funny. Now you go home, you're all hyped up. Yeah. And you're not ready to go to bed. Well, guess what? You got to get up and work at 530 the next morning. Yeah.

And you got to wait. There's a white pizza on the way over, too. Yeah, right. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Bottle of of kettle one just looking at you in the face so anyway it's wondering let me tell you something there was this uh there was this guy okay and uh he lived next to his next door neighbor out in the country and he goes his next door neighbor sitting there on his porch rocking back and forth in his chair and there's the big hound dog was

how have we not addressed this oh my god Matt how have we not talked about this what happened your boy's dead who

your Canadian boy your lover boy my Canadian lover boy Kendrick Lamar is doing the Super Bowl oh you're out of your mind're a lover boy. My Canadian lover boy. Kendrick Lamar is doing the Super Bowl. Oh, you're out of your mind. Oh, I don't want to hear it. And he's releasing new songs.

He's going absolutely vile. Wait, I heard Drake released three songs. Yeah. And you had to tell me that. It didn't even make a dent in the pop culture. That's how dead he is. You're crazy, dude. Drake releases three songs. Sure.

Three very mid songs. And Kendrick Lamar gets Super Bowl. He's dead. He're crazy, dude. Drake releases three songs. Sure. Three very mid-songs. And Kendrick Lamar gets Super Bowl. He's dead. He can never come back. Oh my God. What's Kendrick going to do, dude? Going to get uppies at the Super Bowl? His little ass man? Can you please pick me up on the stage? I don't give a who. Dude, he's bringing the cookout to the Super Bowl. He already stomped on your grave at the

Crypto.com arena. LeBron, who is the biggest Drake guy of all time was in there singing not like us i mean i think it's a total ben and darnell move like the most lebron move of all time for him to like who's hot in the streets right now okay i'll do i'll uh i'll side with them so kendrick lamar is the heat he went to the heat yeah exactly he's got he took his he took his talents to compton yeah okay well bring him back to cleveland because our boy jersey drake he's better than ever.

The songs are bops, dude. No, he's not. Dude, listen. He's done. Well, I think you might be out of your stone. And the only reason I say this, Kendrick puts out music that you have to pretend to enjoy so you can feel smarter than your friends. And I'm telling you, and I know this sounds like I have no idea what I'm talking about, but to my white friends, it's not going to get you pussy, dude. Will you have white Kendrick Lamar friends?

Yeah, that's most of the guys. Really? I'm telling you, that's the thing that people don't get is most Kendrick Lamar fans are white dudes who are like, you actually don't really even get what he's talking about.

I'm like, do you, dude? Do you get it? They're bumping not like us? Yes. Like they're part of the culture? 100%. And they're wearing like Dickies overalls and like a hoodie.

And they're like, I don't even listen to Drake. That guy's so fucking, what are they? Crip walking down? Like the hat and the hat. Yeah, they are crippled.

They're in, they're in wheelchairs because I can't think too good. No, I'm telling you, dude, four bedroom apartment. They're like, not like us.

My dad paid my rent. My dad paid my rent. I thought, I thought this was like, I thought Drake was like white boy central. He is, but he's at he is but he's at least like yeah you guys you get sad about women sometimes and then kendrick makes songs about like interesting and thoughtful topics but it's white dudes telling you like you don't even get the black experience and i'm like i promise you you don't either you don't do you don't either that's what i get all the time that's what i'm

saying he puts out this music and these guys are like he's an artist and i'm like bro he hates you he doesn't want you he legitimately hates you for real and it's your fault that he hates you and i look i'm not saying kendrick's putting out the wrong thing they're not like us true because i'm a drake guy but i call it how i see it drake's dead i told i told you a couple months ago he's gonna have to kill kendrick yeah i guess that's the only solution but he I'm telling you, you keep downplaying these bangers that he's put out. I don't think I'm downplaying them. Circadian rhythm. Matt.

Kyle. I'm on the internet an egregious amount. Sure. It did not even come into my timeline, come into my algorithm. Because it's that good. I got DJ Academics crying on the timeline. It's that good, dude. It's you and Ak right now. You guys are the last bastion

of hope. You're telling me I'm it's me and DJ Academics. It's you and DJ Academics who are only in the Drake corner. But the only issue is it's guys like him who react in a certain way. It makes us look worse. Kendrick put out a new song. He replied in a comment and wrote, no, no, no. Can't say no, no, no. That was so

funny. Can't say no, no, no. Dude, so funny. You can't say no, no, no. Dude, that was so funny. Did you hear that there was a report that Kendrick and Drake actually had a phone call? Really? Before the beef started. They said, all right, how are we doing this? And I'm pretty sure Kendrick told him, I'm going to fucking kill you. No holds barred.

Oh, that's fun. Yeah. I actually like that. Which I think I heard Joe Budden talking about it, that that's actually normal. I think a lot of these beefs, either their agent or their manager or a buddy of a buddy will talk to another guy in another guy's circle and be like, all right, this is how we're going to do it. That's a good point. Or they'll get on the horn and call each other and be like, all right, how far do you want

to go? Which I do think is respectful, because Biggie and Tupac ended up dead. So I think you got to not kill. When it's like, are we doing kids? Are we not doing kids? Are we doing we doing kids? Are we not doing kids? Are we doing BBLs? Are we not doing BBLs? I guess BBLs were on the table. Yeah, but how is that an insult?

If my favorite rapper has a fat Latina ass, I think everybody's missing the boat on stuff because they're so conditioned to think how they think they're supposed to. If my favorite rapper, when he turns around, I go, okay, what's wrong with that? Matty.

Yeah. If Kendrick had a Brazilian butt lift, you would be like, that is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Huge loser, not like us, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, OVO. Well, if he got a Brazilian butt lift, he could finally sit down and be a little bit taller than he is. Fake abs, Drake. That's not true.

That's not true, dude. He had shadow abs. We've all been there. That minute where you finally cut down the belly fat for a little bit and you can be drake that's not true that's not true dude he had shadow abs we've all been there that minute where you finally cut down the belly fat for a little bit and you can be like oh my god what's that in there that's what that's what drake has you have the v-lines a little bit v-lines a little bit you're like babe look at this she was like oh i can see past your love handles now you're like well why do i need that but i hear you i thrived on v-lines for like three months and then the pandemic happened i've never been the same you're such a v-line guy too where you would like i bet you're this guy growing up and i love you dude i bet you were

Because back in the day, before the ring doorbells, you could just chuck the package from the front lawn at the door. That's exactly. Yeah, I'm like Frisbee. Yeah, now those ring doorbells are snitches for you guys, man. You get caught.

You're like, oh, I saw him on my ring. He threw my package. I'm like, all right, well, it's a T-shirt. Yeah, right? It's a T-shirt, you know? It wasn't like fine china or anything. It was a new, you know. Do you ever notice like you're going to the same houses nonstop delivering like Ulta makeup

and other feminine products? Every day. Every day. Every day. My girlfriend's hammering me with ordering stuff. I'm going to go fucking bankrupt, dude. My wife does the same thing. She just got two deliveries today. She told me she orders so much that packages will come in and she just goes, oh my God,

I forgot to order this. I'm like, how does that happen? You order so many packages, you forgot that she ordered it. She tells, and I have to go get them. I go out and I pick it up from our mailbox thing and she was like, oh my God, what a fun surprise. And I'm like, there's no way we're buying a house ever. Well, I like doing that.

I like buying stuff when I'm drunk because then I forget about it, too. And it's like a Christmas. Yeah. You're like, what did I get? You get that bill and you're like, oh, man. Every time. That's true. Every time.

Back in the day, you know, when we were just doing paper and stuff. Did any packages, maybe not for you, did any packages fall off the truck? Fall off the truck? Nah, man. Not at all? Nah, nah. You got any buddies that happened to you? Yeah. Did any packages fall off the truck? Fall off the truck? Nah, man. Not at all? Nah, nah. You got any buddies that happened to you? Yeah, any co-workers?

No, you know what's funny? Because I was told that the FedEx guys, they'll deliver to like a, what's called the GameStop. Yeah. And it'd be like, you know, they open up the box and half of it would be missing. Especially if it was like a real big game. Yeah, like PS5 or like an Xbox 360 or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they'd sell it,

you know, they'd sell it. But I never did that. Unless like, I'm not losing my job or something. You've been there for 34 years, you must be doing something,

right? Absolutely, yeah. So what do you, like when you're in the truck, right? So what do you crush? You crush in podcast,

you crush in sports radio, you crush in 1029? I listen to sports radio. It's just because if I'm listening to it on my phone all day, I'll burn my phone out, you know? Yeah.

But I listen to sports radio. So you get weaponized by sports radio probably all day. Oh, yeah. Like we're coming off, say, like the Birds lose tomorrow. AJ Brown's out. They're not losing. Tuesday's terrible. Oh, yeah, it's awful.

It's awful. My UPS guy was a little angrier than he used to be. First time, long time, what did Brown do for you? Yeah, I'm just like, you know, then I get bored. It's like the same thing, the same guy will call the same thing over and over again. I'm like, all right. And I flip the music, you know, for a little bit. Then I go back, back and forth.

Yeah, you got it. How long does the route take? Is that like an eight-hour just driving around, or is it kind of like going back and forth, picking up, taking off? Yeah. What's it look like? I do my deliveries, like, it kind of like going back and forth, picking up, taking off? What's it look like? I do my deliveries like,

it probably takes like five, six hours and my pickups probably take like two. So I would do like nine and a half every day. Yeah. And so it seems like

you like the job. I mean, I don't know any better. I've been doing it since I was 18. Yeah. Damn, right out of high school?

Yeah, right out of high school. Six weeks out of high school I started working there and I was in the hub for like three and a half years. What'd you do in the hub? What a half years what'd you do in the hub what's that what'd you do in the hub uh just you know sort unload you know all the packages and then and then we would go to

sort unload load i did it all you know you had to earn your keep back in the day yeah yeah right now can you go right into driving no it's because they they hired so many people over covid yeah way too many so now those guys all have to come back into the hub. Right, yeah. Weren't they also talking like, hey, you can make $175,000 between benefits, pay, and all this stuff and they're trying to entice people to work?

Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, the benefits are awesome. So it's like, that's the way to do it. Especially if you're working in a hub, the benefits, you can get your teeth fixed, you can get all this stuff. Yeah. And a lot of kids go to school. Got school got it so they'll do it okay yeah

so how the animals animals i've only been bit once yeah it was like my first week on the job i was like it's crazy a rookie yeah yeah yeah you sniff you out i didn't tell him i'm like i'm not telling my first week on the job i got a big i got bit in the thing but guys are getting a couple guys been getting bit and they they sue the uh, uh, they sue their insurance company. They'd be like, they'd be like, why did you let your dog out? Oh, you never, usually never does that. It's happened a couple of times. Yeah.

Like with the uniform, with like the do look, I will say, in the dog's defense, you guys, they make you dress a little sexy. Like with the uniform with like the shorts going into the actual Do you ever come home

and she's like, you got a nice little bead of sweat coming down a little bit. It's the socks, man. What can Brown do for you, baby? Actually, she has a t-shirt.

What does it say? It says, what's a t-shirt? All day long, I fantasize about the UPS. Yes, sir. I love that. I love that. That's real love.

Yeah. I think it's true, though, man. You guys are probably the sexiest workers when it comes to the delivery service. Yeah. That's what they say, man. How much longer have you gotten yet? How much have you got on those legs left? 18 months.

Who's counting? Yes, sir. Are you really? Actually, 17 months, yeah. Oh, congratulations, man. Congratulations, yeah. I have my whole time, so I'll be like, yeah, I'm going to, you know, did my time. Dude, what the hell are you going to do, though?

I don't know yet. I'll be like, I'll do something because I'll be out of my mind. I've been working my whole life, so it's like, you know. No, you deserve it. You've earned it by far. Damn. Making that money, you know? 100%.

What I'll be doing is I'll be driving around with a cooler. True. Every day. Why not? See you in Center City waiting at a bus stop being like, remember me? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. No, yeah.

There he is. Damn, what's the best package to deliver? The best package? I don't know. The last one? Yeah yeah the very last one the last one of the day is the best one yeah

so thank you well man go enjoy the festival yeah seriously thanks for hanging out it was a lot of fun it was great appreciate it

nice meeting you do you have a certain delivery service that you enjoy more than others I used to like USPS but I think they might be I mean after our boy coming on and saying that they're no good they made him work USPS, but I think they might be full. I mean, after our boy coming

on and saying that they're no good, they made them work after seeing a murder, I think I'm off. They're historically one of the worst delivery services of all time. It's the government that runs it. But I think because they're federally funded, as am I, I'm like, we got to stick together. We got to work this one out together. And they got dumb little trucks. UPS comes through in like a

goddamn Warhammer of a truck. USPS are like like take the take the you know the golf cart out deliver a couple packages but i will say watching my girlfriend she's an amazon hound dude jeff bezos jeff bezos has a thorough hold over my girlfriend and i can't say anything about it dude so every day i see some dude pulling up in like a nissan ultima with four uh secondary tires on it, delivering. She's like, oh my God, we got shelves.

We love shelves. Let's just stop talking because we have to cut this entire thing. People are so inconsiderate. It's crazy. Nah, you got to go around, sorry. It's right around. People are the most inconsiderate people in the world. But this is why

this is why driving sucks this is why people suck at driving nobody nobody fucking has any consideration for anybody anymore

that's okay and we're all just living in our own fucking world yeah yeah but that's the thing it's not even being inconsiderate

for the people at home I'm sorry to cut you off but for the people at home like we are on the end of a street. Yes. We are not even the middle of this festival right now. Yeah. And we probably just had 15 people walk by.

And I probably sound like an asshole, but the people are so inconsiderate nowadays. It's fucking insane. I think it's not even inconsiderate in the way of we understand it to be like, oh, I just don't care. I really think people are so thoughtless now, post pandemic. I think people are just like, oh, I'm not even a person around other people. I'm just me and everything that happens only happens to me. I think it's the

Facebook generation. It's because they haven't been able to watch a fucking food video in 15 minutes on Instagram. Once you can't wipe your hard drive and watch, you know, someone cook up a souffle in 30 seconds or less. Do you think people are walking around like, I got to watch a mukbang or I'm not myself right now? Yeah, true.

That could be fair. I'm so into these ASMR Indian massages right now. Are you really? Oh, my God, dude. You never seen them on TikTok? No. Yeah, man. It's so funny how the algorithm works. It like only shows me ASMR, uh, $1 Indian massages in the middle of the middle of,

uh, middle of like Bangladesh. Yeah. Um, at like nine o'clock and later, cause it like people are like, yeah, people in the comments will be like, Oh, I guess it's time to go fall asleep now. Yeah. Like they've conditioned us. Hey, how are you? How are you? Good to see you. Good to see you. How's everything going? Talking to them. Talking to those folks over there. One day we'll be talking to somebody. Have you had these yet? You got some? Nice.

It's going to be a good Sunday. Nice. Enjoy. Well, at least she was a customer. That's not bad. Yeah. That's pretty sweet. It's like point out like, I have this.

Like a table? But look at that lady. She's like, she saw the cameras. Didn't even, didn't even care. Yeah, but she's in like mom watching a school project mode. She's like, oh, look, they're doing a cute little video. Look at that. You're good, bro.

You're good. You're fine. I got to take a fucking edible. I'm on one right now. I'm so excited. By the end of the episode, you're going to be on cloud nine. Yeah, I can sing, folks. Shout out Delta 9.

Delta 9. Nope, wait. Delta 9, yeah. Delta 8. We don't like Delta 8. We like Delta 9. Now, have you eaten yet? Yeah, dude. I had a good sandwich and everything. I've noticed a lot of people say that. We don't like Delta 8. We like Delta 9. Now, have you eaten yet? Yeah, dude. I had a good sandwich

and everything. I've noticed a lot of people say the edibles don't work for them. 10 milli? Probably too much, right? 10 milli vanilli. Because I'm a 5 guy. If you need a ride home, I'll give you a ride home. How about that? What do I do with my car? Huh? What do I do with my car? See you tomorrow. Okay.

I'll go halfie. You're a better man than me. They're good. Yeah. I like, um, I like edibles. Why so? I just like them. I think it's a lot more fun to eat something and smoke something. You're kind of a fun guy I would like to see high, because, like, you assume that most

people when they're high are kind of like, whoa. And you're a very, like, hardworking, regimented fella. I imagine, like, you get high and you, like, vacuum and shit like that no no i'm i'm god awful i'm uh i was off the shrooms last night at a wedding no kidding what'd you think give me the rundown cool it's the second time i've taken them i think the first time that i took them they weren't that good yeah but um who brought them was it like somebody like a connect in there yeah a friend of a friend of the the groom and bride the best um because you can get them down in D.C. They just sell them in like bodegas down in D.C.

Yeah. It's insane. Thanks, Kamala. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah. It's like Jesus Christ. Kamala. Yeah.

Whoopsie-daisy. She could be watching this. She's above us. She could be watching this. She could be here right now. There's a shooter at the rally. They're really cool. I don't... Why... Maybe I just didn't have the right friends and maybe they were into other things.

But like, why do I feel like shrooms weren't branded right when we were younger or when we were in college? Yeah. Like, I remember like cocaine, marijuana, obviously dabs became a thing. Yeah. Remember dabs? Dabs were like, hey, you want to get high? Okay, that's awesome. Do you want to get super high and be in the fetal position? I have this thing called dabs. Yeah. You ever rip one? You ever have a dab? Okay, that's awesome. Do you want to get super high and be in the fetal position?

I have this thing called dabs. Yeah. You ever rip one? You ever have a dab? Yes, dude. And I immediately could feel my brain. And I went right to bed. I literally, I might have cried in my bed.

You have to. And I was like, I think, but I had probably like the sickest of dreams. Yeah. But yeah, my junior year, dude, it was wild. Everything was just running rampant at Temple. So you ripped a dab and then you're like, I must go to bed. Dude, I... So you went and you got in your twin extra large bed with no sheets on it. And you're like, finally, my happy place.

My laundry right next to me. Dude, I'm the king of sleeping next to the laundry when I was single. Oh, dude, I'm nice with it. It's kind of nice. You can grab it and hold it. It's kind of like a body pillow. Oh my God, I 100% agree. Yeah, that's the kind of stuff that women don't get.

They don't realize we need that. Yeah. So you did this room at the wedding. Yeah. How'd everything kind of stuff that women don't get. They don't realize we need that. Yeah. So you did the shrooms at the wedding. Yeah. How'd everything go? Because a wedding is like a blissful. You're like, I get caught up at weddings where I start to tear up watching the ceremony. So I'm imagining the shrooms.

That's awesome. Good for you. I just think it's nice seeing people love each other. Yeah. You guys had sick. Yeah. But so you take them. Good.

I like the Laffy's. Give me the Laffy's. Give me the Laffy drugs. Yeah. Give me the Laffy Taffy's. I bet Laffy Taffy. Yeah. So you guys are all hanging out. I'm sure. All hanging out. Alcohol's drugs. Yeah. Give me the Laffy Taffy's. The Laffy Taffy. Yeah. So you guys are all hanging out, I'm sure.

All hanging out. Alcohol's involved. Yeah. I mean, it was, I don't know. How gay can I be about describing them? As gay as you want. Okay. Yeah.

I was texting and the keys were like kind of rainbow-y. Yeah. Every time I pressed one, it was like stars would kind of shoot out of the keys a little bit. And I was like, this is so cool. Yeah. Everybody's eyes were a little bit bigger. Yeah. You said that earlier. What do you mean by that like like everyone just has like doughy eyes it's not like you know i'm not looking at like you know someone's eyes

not going from their forehead to their mouth cartoon eyes but like a little cartoon like dough like sunny sweeney eyes it's a cool drug and i really feel bad that i missed out on it because like i'm trying to wane off the off the alcohol a little bit i'm trying to do my little california sober four days yeah this is how it goes this is how it goes which i'm trying to wane off the off the alcohol a little bit i'm trying to do my little california sober four days four days a week this is how it goes which i've been doing pretty good i knew i was gonna lose you soon um and i think i might have found an alternative you're gonna do all the time but am i gonna go hard too hard one day and it's gonna fuck me up well you'll do an amount that worked before then you'll be like i need a little more that's when you start to get like space cadet do they call that microdosing microdose i think is like maybe an eighth of whatever you took last night if you

have like a block of the chocolate and this is coming totally from conjecture people i've talked to i have no reference for this but uh if like a microdose i think is like a very small amount that gives you that quick little like there we are but i think the one the amount where you're taking it to get a little funky you're're going to get funky. Got it. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so it's like when you do edibles. You took a little bit of the brownie and you were good and you had the time of your life.

And then you took too much of the brownie and you wanted to kill yourself. Yeah, yeah. You're like, this will never end. I'm going to feel like this for the rest of my life. Oh, no. Yeah, I took an edible in college and I watched it. The worst mistake of my entire life. It was the scariest thing of all time.

I don't understand why people do edibles with a group because no one ever reacts the same. Yes. It's like you're having the time of your life and Troy's over there ready to jump out the window. Yes. But that's Russian roulette where it's like as long as you're not that guy, watching that guy is so funny when you're on edibles. Oh, I disagree. Really? Because I feel his pain, dude, because I've been there.

Really? You're an empathetic high. Yeah, dude. I have no empathy when I'm sober. And that's also another thing, I think. Really? Because I feel this pain, dude, because I've been there. Really? You're an empathetic high. Yeah, dude. I have no empathy when I'm like sober. And that's also another thing, I think. I think the drugs

are making me a little empathetic. I think so. You texted me last night. I felt the love in your text. Thank you. Granted, I was hammered, but you know, what can you do?

What's up? What's up? What's going on? What's up, man? How are you? I'm chilling, man. What's your first name? My name's Matt.

Matt? Yeah. What do you do for a living? I got a clothing brand. Nice. What's it called? It's called Platinum Link. Nice.

Yeah, this is a t-shirt right here. Okay. I love it. Show the cam. Damn, what do you do for a living? I got a clothing brand. Nice. What's it called? It's called Platinum Link. Nice. Yeah, this is a t-shirt right here. Okay. I love it. Show the cam. Damn, what'd you do to your arm? Car accident, man. Crazy. Damn, sorry to hear.

Glad you're all right. Let me show the cam. Sure? Yeah, don't hurt yourself, though. I know, right? We got insurance companies watching. Be careful with that one. Yep.

I like that. Let's go. And what was it called again? It's called Platinum Link. Platinum Link. All right. You got a storefront? Are you mostly online?

Online. Online. Nice. How long have you been doing that? For about a year now. Nice. Okay. It's going well?

Yeah, take your time. That's what I'm saying. If you don't want to wear them, they're a pain in the ass to keep on. No, I hear y'all though. That's why I like them. How's it going? Not soall, though. That's why I like them. I hear y'all. How's it going? Not so good, man.

You know? What's going on? Well, the brand going good. The brand going good. But it's not so good because, I guess, is this a recent car crash? The car accident was crazy. Yeah. Do you want to talk about it? Are you comfortable talking about it?

Yeah, we can talk about it. What happened? I was on my way to work. What do you do? I work for Waste Management. Got it. Okay. Yeah, I was on my way to work. And I you do? I work for Waste Management. Got it. Okay. Yeah, I was on my way to work.

And I'm on the road, like 50 miles per hour. So I'm driving, probably going like 52 or 53. And this guy blew this stop sign. He blew it. So I remember fixing my phone, like adjusting my phone a little bit. And I look up, I just see lights. Yeah. And I just smacked the shit out of this car.

Oh, you hit him? Yeah. Did it flip? A 360. No shit. A 360. And no one was coming the shit out of this car. Oh, you hit him? Yeah. Did it flip? I 360. No shit. I 360. And no one was coming on the other side? No.

Thank God. I 360, and I was in a fetal position in the passenger seat. Oh, it threw you over. Yeah. Were you seat belted up, though? No. Yeah. You see what I'm saying?

That's not your fault. Yeah, honestly, only to be in the fetal position is kind of nice. You didn't go through the window. Yeah, seriously. Wild. Real shit. Because you hit it head on, too, right? I did.

Yeah, that's crazy. Everything employed. So you caught them. Was it front to front, or was it front and you hit their side? Yeah. T-bone. Okay, T-bone. Gotcha.

Yeah, clear T-bone, clear T-bone. How'd that guy do? Not so good. Yeah, now. No, not so good. You're done? Yeah, so when it happened, i didn't know if the car flipped or what yeah you see what i'm saying i'm just upside down you have no idea what's happening i didn't know what the fuck it's like shock yeah so i kind of leaned up a little bit i just see all this blood everywhere oh fuck and my arm like my bone was popped out oh my god

she was crazy so i'm like what the fuck so i remember kicking the door like you'll get me out yeah like you'll get me out somebody get me out it's good that your feet were still working your legs still working damn seriously so my friend he was on his way there and uh he can't see me well no no no he because we all this is the route we take to go into work everybody's seen it that might be met yeah so they went and he's like oh shit that's me so he hopped in the car he's like yo bro, shit, that's me. So he hop in the car. He's like, yo, bro, you good? You good? Can you move your leg? I said, no, bro. I said, no, bro. I'm fucking, this shit hurt, bro. Yo, get me out.

Open this door. He like, bro, bro, I don't want to move you. Yeah. I mean, we got to call the paramedics. I don't want to move you. So I'm like, bro, you got to get me out, bro. This shit hurt like a motherfucker. So I'm sure you got also your claustrophobias kicking in and stuff.

Yeah, bro. You know, I started panicking. Yeah. I started panicking, yeah. So cops came. Paramedics came. They finally got me out. They put me on the bed.

And they put the thing around my neck and all that. They finally got me out. And you know, through the grace of God, I survived. Yeah, thank God, dude. What did you go to the hospital for? About a week. Yeah? About a week.

Yeah, about a week. And you came out with just a cast. That feels like crazy that it could have been way, way worse. But it's so crazy. I got this video on Instagram, and I got a video showing right after the accident. So my hair looked crazier than how it looked now because it held up. So it was definitely a crazy situation. And my job right now with the FMLA, the medical leave, they like playing a little bit.

So right now, all I got is my brain. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So right now, I'm just pushing it. Good for you. I'm pushing it. Could be a blessing. Yeah.

Sorry. Is there a part of you that if you, that kind of thinks about it, like if you died, the closing line probably takes off? Yeah. Could have been like a Virgil type thing. Bro, that's fucked up. That's how it be. Yo, that's how it be.

It's like you pop more when you dee. Don't ever fucking say we can't turn a sad situation funny ever. That's what we're here to do, man. That's what we're here to do. We can't make things funny here. I got in a bad accident a while ago, and the thing that embarrassed me was it was bad. I didn't quite flip, but I got railed. Damn.

What was his name? We don't stay in contact anymore dude he's a hit and quit type of guy it was a real hit and run but he I got hit dude and I was listening to

Umbrella by Rihanna you gotta be listening to a good song when they come to get you because the guy came up and he's like you alright and he's like

under my umbrella I'm fine I'm good give me the fuck out of here the guy who hit me changed my changed my radio umbrella

when you get a car accident it fucks with your radio so it was full blast just umbrella going at him yeah that was tough dude you weren't listening to Umbrella Full Blast

I was listening to it at a moderate volume but unfortunately after the accident yeah so I always think about like I was embarrassed that I was listening to something goofy

so and right now every time I drive it I'm listening to just strictly King Von every time I drive it. Strictly King Von. Strictly King Von. That's all. Damn, dude. Rest in peace, King Von. Absolutely, man.

Absolutely. Man, that's nice though, man. You got a clothing line, so you're trying to get out of the grind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's trying to get out of the grind, I feel like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should. Yeah, right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like everybody should. But then again, if we all chase our dreams and we all become successful, who's going to deliver my packages? True. Yeah, there is a level where we...

But you got people that love delivering packages. You see what I'm saying? You know, you're right. That's not what we're going over. Some people love their job. That's true. We had somebody earlier

who was on that. Some people are just like, put some headphones in and let's go. Yeah. And I'll do monotonous work, but fuck. I i mean i did it for the first probably five years of my life out of college i was just doing desk job shit throwing some headphones dude i used to get so mad when people would come up to me and ask me things like very valid questions yeah like hey can you do this this needs to be done i'd like scowl at him as i'm like pouring over an excel spreadsheet

I'm allowed to say that but I can give a fucking hoot I'm just trying to work yeah these dudes these dudes are taking it I mean I get it the union all that but like cut this out no that can't no you gotta cut that out worst guess bro this is why I don't make content you're not built for content how do you guys not cancer yourself and like all these years we just say gay and it's like so much fun to say gay yeah it's pretty fun I guess it's how you like care yourself about afterwards it's like oh these guys these guys aren't even affected by it i don't even i don't even think about like that one day i might have a child that sees this podcast and you know who cares it's coming back real life's coming back god if you have a kid

i'm screwed dude your kid will be so goddamn mean to me if either of you guys have kids no they will be respectful your kid dude both you and cast are both like, we get the job done. We're on to the next. If your kid comes out like that, get me formula now. I'm impressed, though, with our willingness to get this episode done today, even though we had so many obstacles to overcome, we did. So Kyle put up the Diamond Club. He grabbed the camera equipment and he jiggatized here.

The cops are fucking Nazis out front. What was he doing to you? Dude, they were Nazis. Like SS Corporal Philly out there. And it was just like, I pulled up and, you know, how they have all the cops line that side of the Citizens Bank Park. Yeah. You're in it for like two seconds.

I literally went up to the guy's windows. I'll be here for two seconds. He goes, move the car. He's honking, honking. Like fiancee's in the passenger seat she's not fucking moving like yeah yeah but it was just no but it was like uh and so i'm like calling you i'm like all flustered and everything i was like two seconds sir two seconds i feel like tyreek hill tyreek hill probably feel lately um they can at least tell you a bone for like give him like a 20 second like give him 30 seconds 20 seconds 10 seconds like i. I'm calling Vito. Vito didn't pick up.

And then I saw the sun just glisten on this little redhead. And I was like, oh, my God, there is there's my Michael the Archangel. When you catch Vito in the right light, he is a twinkling, beautiful boy, dude. So I just yelled at the cop again. One second. The guy's right here. Yeah. He's still honking. Someone goes, oh, my God, they're bringing a tow truck. Totally was lying to me, but it was a great move. How long is it going to take to get a tow truck there?

Holy crap, that scared me. The idea of a quick tow is the funniest thing to be like, you know what? If you're not moving, good luck, buddy. In an hour and 43 minutes, a huge truck is going to be here. It's like, all right, dude. Yeah. It's going to take us another 30 just to get the crane down and you in there. Vito, you don't want to talk about the union strike at all at the Aramark? I've been hearing about this more and more. Overall, yeah, they're striking

and what I'll say is that all the employees that are trying to work are suffering right now while all the management is bitching at each other right now. Vito Vanderbilt over here trying to bust the union. Hopefully no upper management watches this, but we're all just trying to work

and we're not even striking yet, but because we're threatening to strike... Do you even know what's going on? I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now, bro. We haven't even struck. Listen. We worked today. We worked the other day. We worked Saturday. We were supposed to... Maybe we're going to strike.

I thought you were a scab. I thought you crossed the picket line. I didn't want to call you a scab, but are you going to cross the picket line? I'm about to cross this line. I'm about to go back over there. I don't like being on this side with Kyle. Kyle, you crossed. He's interrogating me.

I don't like being on this side of the camera. Are you going to cross the picket line? No. Are you going to be Shane Falco in the relations? All I'm trying to say is that it's unnecessary, the obstacles that we have to jump through, and we haven't even striked. Because there's a threat of a strike,

whatever it is, because there's a threat of a strike, the Phill is. Because there's a threat of a strike, the Phillies are making our lives a living hell right now. Really? And we haven't even struck yet. Why? What are they doing? I hate the Phillies. They're like, you can't get on this bus.

There's a shuttle. The Air Mark employees get on with the Phillies employees. And they're like, you can't get on this bus if you're not a Phillies employee. But the Phillies employees, the first day we're hopping on our bus, I was actually late the first day because of it, which makes me look bad. So they're doing that now? Are you usually allowed on the Phillies employees, the first day, were hopping on our bus. I was actually late the first day because of it, which makes me look bad.

So they're doing that now? Are you usually allowed on the Phillies buses? There's never a restriction on our buses, unless you don't go on the one to the Wells Fargo if you're going to CBP, you know, the type like that. There you go. But air and market Phillies employees coexist on the buses, the shuttles, whatever you want to call them. That's big of you. But now, just because there's a threat of a strike, they're making our lives a living hell,

which people like me who really don't give a fuck what happens, I just want to go to work. My schedule is getting affected by this. They're having us do weird things. Bottom line is I just want to work, and all this shit is just getting out of hand. Why would the Phillies get involved with that when you guys are an Aramark company?

Maybe. I don't. I just don't know. You have no idea what's going on. Ask the union reps. Yeah, dude. You have no idea what's going on. You should cut all this out No, this is what I'm saying like cuz like I probably just said like 10 things wrong Vito talks about the union his whole time All I can tell you is the buses are different and it's affected me The buses are different and I was late and I'm pissed

So when you fuck up my money, I might hop on a podcast He gets Italian he gets really Italian he mixes it with a little black and that's what Vito becomes late and I'm pissed. So when you fuck up my money, I might hop on a podcast. He gets Italian. He gets really Italian. He does. He mixes it with a little black. Fuck up my money, I hop on your podcast and I let you know what's good. And he's allowed to do that because he is half Italian. I know he doesn't look it, but he is half Italian. I am half Italian. I'm not Irish at all.

I've gotten Irish many two times. I think we're probably good. I should get back to the other side of the camera now. I love this. You're like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, but then your racist side came out, and that was your Italian side.

Good thing the Italian side came out. Instead of freedom, you yell, cheese fries! That was a joke. Okay, sorry. Anyway. Love you, buddy. All right, and that's the podcast
