Men At Work Podcast - The Corrupt "Government" Institution Philadelphians Hate! (w/ Chris Aileo)
Episode Date: June 6, 2024If you don't know what the PPA is consider yourself lucky. They're a soulless, bloodsucking "government entity" that Philadelphians have to continuously look over their shoulder for ...at all times. The PPA - Philadelphia Parking Authority wakes up everyday with a money mindset. They have one goal and it's how to screw over the hardworking people of Philadelphia. Kyle Pagan and Matt Peoples go out on the street in front of PPA's headquarters and have the silent majority tell us about their awful experiences while spreading the word about their corruption. We talk to a New Yorker whose goodbye from the PPA was a ticket, a person who compares them to one of the worst terrorist organizations in the world, a person who keeps spare tires in their car just in case. Then we head down to the tow yard to see where your car goes when the PPA inevitably nails you. We were joined by Philly comedian Chris Aileo who did a funny short film on the PPA. Go watch it!

I consider them domestic terrorists.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, they're worse than Al Qaeda.
At least Al Qaeda has a purpose.
These people are just parasites.
Three, two, one.
Welcome back to another episode of Men at Work podcast.
We are here outside of the worst organization in the city of Philadelphia.
The soul sucking, butt munching, crud licking, PPA, the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
If you're from Philadelphia,
you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you're listening to this from New York, Chicago,
all the way out to California, you probably hate your parking authority, but people in Philadelphia
hate them more than anything. Yeah. Any stories, Matty? Dude, I'll tell you this. I was back in
my high school, I guess college days. I broke up with a girl and then I left her Philadelphia apartment and got into my car and got onto the bridge and saw that I had a ticket flapping.
So I just broke it up with her and she gave me a call like, just want to make sure you got home OK.
And I'm like, look, I got a ticket. Like, what are we going to do about this?
Because I wasn't supposed to be here. We go halfsies.
We go cut this in half. Like, just send me your Venmo, dude.
That's unfortunately a mostly true story.
I got a ticket after breaking up with a girl and I was kind of like, money's tight right
now.
So the PPA is not only ruining lives, but relationships.
God.
It's amazing how they get you at like your lowest, too.
Yeah.
I was so, I was like, you know what?
We did the right thing.
We're moving on.
And then you just see that little bastard just flapping against your windshield.
You're like, come.
And by the way.
Did you let it fly off?
No, I got out on the bridge. I put my hazards on on the bridge yeah dude i don't want to lose it because then i'm like how do i ever pay it i don't have the number but then you find out you can look
it up by your license plate look i was not the brightest bulb dude yeah man all right what can
you say dude i pay and i wanted it but by the way but one thing i'll say about the ppa because i
want to hear one of your tales i imagine you got got some nuts one. I'm not going to have a better one than that. Okay, well, I'll tell you this.
Stop making them weird numbers,
dude. Make it by fives.
What do you mean? I don't want to pay a
$37 ticket. I don't want to pay a $41
ticket. I want to pay $30
or very honestly because they're hitting you with the convenience
fee every time. Make it like $32.50
because I know I'm paying $250. Perfect.
You know what I mean? I actually, that's a great
point. I think you could run on that platform of being like, just make the convenience fee
the fives and tens because that just makes my brain feel a little bit better that I have
to pay a ticket because my registration is out.
Now they're doing that.
They're ticketing for registration.
Yeah, like that makes no sense.
That shouldn't be you.
That's insane.
But anyway, Matty, happy Pride Month.
Happy Pride Month indeed, dude.
It's good to be here in beautiful Philadelphia,
during the gayest month of the year.
Are you an ally?
Am I an ally, dude?
I'll tell you this much.
I'll go gay for an entire...
I'll go gay for July.
I'll do it outside of Pride Month.
For a whole Patreon subscription.
Whatever I have to do, dude.
We need this money.
Nah, dude.
I'm such a fucking ally.
I might kick every straight guy off this podcast for the rest of june true that might be the move we used to try to do a bit where we'd kick people off with
certain names oh dude what did that bit last like three episodes i think we got about an episode and
a half in i will say it's going to be a little tricky like when somebody sits down i'll be like
are you gay yeah i'm like why it's like uh no reason uh are you fucking alpha yeah they're
not gonna get the fuck off me you and gary vayner you fucking alpha? Yeah, they're not. Get the fuck off.
Me, you and Gary Vaynerchuk just ask people if they're alphas or not.
Go birds.
But I do like my favorite thing about Pride Month is when the companies change their logos to a rainbow.
Yeah. And they tuck their dick back and they're like, we've got to sell some fucking merch any way we can, dude.
It's really we've got to move some product.
I've seen a lot of backlash about a lot of like the sports tiktoks and stuff are changing to the rainbow logos and people are
like getting pissed about that the comments are the best yeah they are pretty funny comments are
just like i can't believe you support this yeah i can't believe you changed your logo it's like
dude you have to get a job phillies are 41 and 19 and we're worried about logo changing like what's
going on also what happens if when they change the logo, the Phillies, who have been great so far,
they just go on like a 20-game win streak?
People are then going to say,
all right, maybe the logo is working.
Maybe that's how we make change in this country.
You just need sports teams to start
rallying behind the gay community
and just going on runs.
It starts and stops at sports.
What are you doing to show your ally, Schiff?
Are you doing anything?
Yeah, I'm kicking tree people off the podcast.
Other than that, outside of the podcast.
Hanging out with the bros, hanging with the the chicks yeah yeah you gotta get down the woodies dude they you would be a tall glass of milk don't do it i know i'm a tavern on
come back guy better dance floor you can go down to the basement yeah and just chill where no one
really is at it's a good spot there. Or you can go to the second floor.
All right.
Maybe you changed my tune a little bit.
I've only really known
the Woody's experience.
And I did go to a gay sports bar
in Philly.
I can't remember the name of it.
Boxers?
Maybe so.
Yeah.
I think that's the only one I know.
That was great.
I didn't know it was a gay bar.
I knew all the fucking gay bars
were on Philadelphia.
Ally.
All right.
You've out-allied me.
I hear you.
It sucks.
You want to sit and talk about it
for a little bit?
That's what we're talking about.
You're our demo.
They steal our tax dollars.
They don't even work for the city, but they steal our cars.
Fuck the PPA.
Lady speaking absolute truth.
And that's, if you don't know about the Philadelphia Parking Authority, that's exactly what we're trying to tell you.
Bang.
They steal our tax dollars.
They don't even technically work for the government.
Yeah.
But they fucking run so efficiently that I kind of wish they could give some of the secrets away.
Yeah, you envy their process.
But you see how, I mean, that lady probably had a long-ass day at work.
She's picking up her kids.
Still has enough anger towards the PPA to scream inside of a tunnel.
That's how bad the PPA is.
That's how much they're stressing people out, is mothers who just have so much on their plate are screaming in tunnels sir do you do you hate
the ppa by any chance how are you what's up man we're doing a podcast where we talk about the ppa
and how much we hate it we're just talking about being from the city two minutes of your time we'll
let you run whatever you want my man thank you man what's your name kevin kevin how are you well you're a
braves fan i see which is okay for now um are you from this area i'm from new york actually so i'm
just deceiving on all accounts but yeah it's true big city though so like if you have a weird
rooting interest there i actually don't hate it as much i would hate it here you know it takes a
lot of balls wearing it here though obviously with uh some of the yeah you hate me well i don't want your guest i don't want to say
it's okay oh come on don't say that about yourself i've always heard different about you
so kev what do you do for a living do you work i work for nyu it's a completely remote job so
i kind of i used to work at the shipyard here in philly nice and i like the city so much, so once I got the remote job, I said, fuck it.
And you said it was NYU?
NYU.
Nice.
Yeah.
Cancer Center.
Okay.
Very nice.
What do you do for them?
Regulatory stuff.
You know, shit that would
put you to sleep.
It's like NyQuil,
but you know what?
It works.
What do you think about
other government entities
like the PPA?
Have you had any run-ins
with them?
I don't know shit about
fuck with that,
to be completely frank.
Really?
We're not the feds.
You can be honest.
How do we know who you guys talk? No, no. Nothing at all. them I don't know shit about fuck with that to be completely fine you work in New York any run-ins with any the New York parking authority I thought now I
mean when I did work for the shipyard here though yeah I did get two or three
parking tickets I did I did I did I didn't want to let on why we don't like
the brain I look dude I'm still warming up. I didn't want to let on. This is why we don't like the Braves.
Look, dude, I'm still warming up to Kev over here.
He really made himself endearing.
Under this hat, there's nothing but deceit.
I'm sorry.
And you did come and say hi, so we do appreciate that. We really do.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
So what is the nature of this podcast?
And what is this?
Yeah, so we asked people what they do for a living, but we came out to the PPA because,
as you know, being a guy who's lived here for a number of years now,
everybody in the city hates the Philadelphia Parking Authority because they are a gutless, terrible organization.
Trying to get in touch with them about stuff.
I had actually gotten registration, you know, like a past inspection or past registration, whatever it was.
And so I had got it fixed by the time I got back to New York.
I was working in Philly for the month.
I'm working 12-hour days. So I wasn't able to at all, like, get, you know, get it fixed by the time I got back to New York. I was working in Philly for the month. I'm working 12-hour days.
So I wasn't able to at all get it fixed while I was here.
And then I got back, got it fixed, sent them like, OK,
there's a proof of inspection.
I sent a picture, this and that.
Try to get in touch with somebody.
Nothing, nothing.
We've rejected, rejected.
And then I'm just.
Did you try to go in person?
No.
You shouldn't have to.
I'm just asking.
You should, yeah.
At that point, I didn't know I was coming back to Philly.
I was just in New York.
I was like, I'll just pay it now.
So they got you?
Oh, they got me.
What'd they get you for?
Do you remember?
How much?
$120.
Woo, $120.
Because I didn't pay it right away because I was still fighting.
And by that time, it went up and it was a whole.
So you're at the shipyard.
I'm assuming you work for the federal government.
It was independent contracting. So I wasn't through with anybody else but like i was parking i was staying at a hostel over here right on uh the south bank right
off chestnut and i you know i would be trying to figure out parking i'd have to park a half hour
away down south 6th street just to be able to park overnight for 24 hours. But if I parked for two minutes anywhere,
I'd come in, boom.
No, like, you know,
I'd stop for like two minutes
and I'd be two minutes past the meter.
Toast.
I didn't have the app when I got here
or any of that shit.
So I was like, you know,
I was trying to figure it out.
It's like fucking, you know,
six quarters for like a dollar.
It feels like it was insane to me.
You ever like ran into them
while they're ticketing you
and you get into confrontation
or anything like that?
It actually did happen.
Dude, he was gaslighting
the hell out of us.
I don't know shit about
between you and women.
He's making a sign.
I lie all the time.
Lying like a rug.
Well, now I find you guys charming,
so I'm opening up.
Thank you.
Not the first guy
and not the first time
doing a pride run.
That's been said.
Certainly, this is the most
go-ahead brother.
Let's hear it.
Yeah, so I was actually leaving to go back to New York.
It was my last day at the shipyard.
I parked.
I had all my stuff.
So I didn't want to walk a half hour.
This was in August.
I'm sweating my ass off.
And I just leave it on chestnut for about three minutes.
Literally, I sprint, sprint back, taking him in on my'm like, man, I was just right here.
Like, you know, is there anything?
He's like, can't, nope.
All right, it's already there.
It's done, it's done.
I'm like, okay.
And I was like, just one last concerted effort.
He had no time for whatsoever.
He was out of there in 30 seconds after that conversation.
You know, he didn't give a shit.
And just totally dismissive, kind of like, nah, dude, it's done, move on.
Like, or was he a little bit sympathetic? That's what what i don't like i don't like that they can't have
a conversation with you yeah listen now i get it if you were to do it every time how many times
we have that conversation i understand you kind of gotta be a little bit cold but at the same time
it's like at least be like hey i'm sorry but like this is this is how it has to be they're just like
almost like disciplinarian you know type shit i shit. I don't like the authority with that.
But even in that moment, I mean, you're running back.
You're probably sweaty out of breath.
I had an enormous backpack, my bags.
You could tell, like, what I said was corroborated by how I looked and what I had.
He just did not give a shit.
I think that's how every romantic comedy starts.
It's like a guy like you running back with a book bag.
Like, come on, you know.
Fortunately, I didn't fall in love with him.
But no, you never know. Unfortunately, I didn't fall in love with him. Oh, man.
Never know.
Maybe next time.
One last fuck you from the city of Philadelphia until you came back down.
Yeah.
I know.
I'm sure I'll get plenty more fuck yous.
Nice.
Talk to us about the shipyard.
Shipyard.
That's got to be some back-breaking grunt work.
So you know what?
People think so when I tell them that.
I was a line handler.
These things.
What's that?
The things that keep the ship ship it's docked already but you know if it gets a little loose slack you know pull them
in pull them out but I'm not doing hands on rope there's a machine that did that I effectively
didn't really work much and we're getting paid a ridiculous amount of money I had no experience in
the field my friends in the maritime industry hooked me up and so yeah it was uh it was the
worst part is just you're sitting
on a ship for 12 hours in the dead heat with no ac or anything like that you just just swine your
ass off yeah but i ended up losing like 20 pounds for just i'm sitting there so yeah shout out to
that program now you're fully remote how's that transition what's that look like being able to
masturbate while working it's pretty good you couldn't do that on the boat i said i tried to
do it on the boat yeah Yeah, it's too hot.
I've been there.
There's already enough semen.
Hey, come on, folks.
I ain't doing it.
That one's for free there, baby. There we go.
Class Clown Circuit 2015.
There we go.
We're killing it.
It's my peak.
But yeah, no.
I mean, remote work, I've always said they could pay me half my salary.
I wouldn't complain.
Just being able to just wake up and roll out of bed at 8.45 and just fucking work.
All work sucks.
You're never going to see me complain about working remote.
It's a gift.
There really is nothing better.
I want to go back to the shipyard real quick.
What kind of goods were you moving? Amazon packages?
Are we talking more like that?
These were ships that were going to be used for maritime schools
as practice ships for the students
and all that.
These were massive, massive ships. There students and all that so these are massive massive ships uh i was there's two ships over to october one of them was very early on in the in
the process of being built the second one had like well i wasn't on they had other guys on there it
was they had a barber shop on there they had a gym they had like ac wi-fi although everything
yeah exactly everything i was missing exactly and yeah so it was uh i was on the shittier ship the whole time but still i
was getting paid money i didn't care yeah yeah it's crazy down there it's it's a lot of moving
pieces man it's crazy to see like the hustle and bustle that's like very well coordinated too i
was just there like i said independent contract i wasn't working with those people they were like
fucking everybody had a like a soul mission boom boom boom and they were good at it but yeah so you
wouldn't know anything about like remember what happened down in baltimore when that
shit would you i guess you would know nothing i have a friend who like i said from the maritime
industry he's like everybody likes to everybody likes to speculate he's like um but would the
guy fall asleep or what?
No, the engine cut off
or something like that.
That's what happened.
Yes, I'm sorry.
You were 100% right.
Yeah, and they actually
saved a bunch of lives
because they called the cops
and said,
mayday, mayday, mayday.
Were they shooting flares
or something?
Or something like that, yeah.
So the cops were on
both sides of the bridge,
shut down the bridge
and unfortunately
the only people who died
were working on the bridge.
They were the only ones
who didn't get the...
That's right.
So they actually like... Yeah, you said, a lot of people want to speculate about it but like they
actually say if they really wanted if there really was a paris attack they only killed six people so
i don't think they would have been carried out a good one that's gotta be some guy that's like
three in the morning that's gotta be the craziest drunk drive home this year going over the bar and
you're like no way it's a fucking checkpoint before the bridge, bro.
I mean,
it's one of those things
that happens like
once every six years
you see some random
like boat crash
or something weird
and then everybody
pretends to care
and then you don't talk
about it for another six years.
Yeah, really.
I completely forgot about it.
The boat's still in the harbor.
Haven't heard anything about it.
Really?
Yeah.
Boat hasn't moved.
You might have a new assignment
and you gotta get out there to take care of this thing.
So you remember when that one shipping trunk or container or whatever was like stuck in
the Panama Canal?
Yeah.
It just stuck.
Yeah.
Just for like months.
It just turned.
Just turned.
Just turned.
I didn't know about all these boat escapades.
That's crazy.
Dude.
Read a newspaper.
Read a news, Willie. i'm scared of the newspaper dude
what were the fellows like down the shipyard probably some salt of the earth guys a lot of
that yeah a lot of that a lot of guys are just like a lot of like you know when you work with
blue collar guys i've worked blue collar for like the majority of my life everybody has a certain
like i think there's connotation with some of those guys, but they'll teach you a lot, and they
know a lot about the fucking world.
That's an ulterior perspective, too.
That's why I always liked about it.
One guy I knew, he works for the government now, like the DEA or some shit, but he used
to be a harmonica salesman.
You're working with one guy, especially overnight, you're working for for fucking three straight days he'll tell you his whole life story and when he said harmonica
salesman i was like what the fuck i didn't even know that was a fucking thing yeah i met like
stevie wonder and like just random people just from selling harmonica that's probably one of
those jobs where like you sell two harmonicas you're probably like that's your entire paycheck
you have to be and the amount of the piano man
that you have to listen to
probably selling those
has to be a complete nightmare.
I'm from Long Island,
so I already hear it enough.
Oh,
yeah,
that's true,
absolutely.
Billy Jones,
God.
Did the boys have nicknames
down there?
No,
no one really had,
everyone,
a lot of the blue collar shit
is always just last names.
My last name's Dirk,
everybody.
Dirkie?
Yeah,
just calls me Dirk.
Dirk,
like Nowitski
like just everybody absolutely high school my mom will call me that she's trying to get my
attention like teachers everybody's calling me Dirk got it got it how many Sully's did you work
with I mean Sully's there's a few Sully's yeah it was McConnell's yeah it was O'Connor's blue
collar yeah it's an Irish boys yeah out of the Irish boys yeah well that's crazy so you go from
work just we won't hold you up any longer,
but you go from working with a bunch of blue collar guys
to now it sounds like you're kind of a white collar profession.
I went straight from sanitation is what I worked before.
And so sanitation, just being on a garbage truck to now working for NYU,
it's just completely different.
It's got to be.
Where'd you work in sanitation?
What city?
It was for my town, Valley Stream on Long Island. uh and you know you work three hours you get paid eight
but you bust your ass off those three shit yeah so you go home when you're done when you don't
the route you're finished but you know you sprinting off a garbage truck for three hours
so it sucks but then as soon as you're done you go home nap and all right you're still technically
getting paid for after your two-hour nap right It's crazy. But yeah, so going from that to this, it was a little weird.
There's something about the camaraderie of like that.
You hear some of the most heinous shit you've ever heard in your life
coming from some of these guys.
It's awful.
Then you go into NYU and you're just like,
we're going to do cookies and we're going to do shorts today.
I had a friend who we referred for NYU.
He didn't get the job because it went through his Twitter. Oh way really twitter likes not even his tweets he's not putting out oh twitter likes
now he's the sweetest kid he's like a golden retriever of a man he's just nice and happy
but yeah i like some stupid shit he likes pro they flagged it all for harassment one of the
tweets he liked that they flagged said idiot. Just the word idiot?
They just mentioned the word idiot?
It's like this could potentially be.
But then there was another one that was, you know, it's like.
The other one was just a flag.
There's a couple slurs before the idiot.
It's Pride Month, so that's it.
It's Pride Month.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Oh, a cis idiot, you mean.
Yes, of course.
Bingo.
Straight idiot.
Oh, my God.
That's awesome.
So it's definitely a complete 180.
Total change.
I don't have to try to make an edgy joke in the group chats or anything.
No, no.
Good move.
That's a good move.
That's a good move.
Sick.
Holy shit.
Damn.
Damn.
Well, what was your name again?
Kevin.
Kevin.
Kevin, man.
Thank you for everything, man.
We really appreciate it.
Kyle.
Kyle?
Kyle?
Thanks so much for coming on.
Really appreciate it.
Isn't it?
We needed this.
Matt?
Yes.
Nice to meet you.
How are you, sir?
We do a podcast about the PPA and how much we hate it.
Hey, what's up, man?
How are you?
Just want to talk about that.
Just two minutes.
It's all I need from you.
Talk about the PPA real quick.
What's your experience with them?
You can pop a squat there if you want.
I got to stay limber.
My experience is I consider them domestic terrorists really yeah yeah i mean they're
worse than al-qaeda i don't think people would disagree with that yeah i mean at least al-qaeda
has a purpose these people are just parasites true have you so i'm assuming you've had a lot
of run-ins with them enough yeah yeah i mean I've successfully Photoshopped myself out of multiple parking tickets.
No way.
Let's hear this.
Yeah.
If you put the wrong time in, so let's just say you get a ticket in a metered spot.
Let me face away.
We'll bore you out, too.
Yeah, sure.
Anyway, not that i'm anyway but so i just changed the times
back to and i said oh it's your system that's fucked up not not mine so uh retroactively you
buy the ticket after you get a ticket after you get a ticket and then you correct for your you know so you set the clock back
so if like you got a ticket at 6 18 you would photoshop really 4 18 and be like
i there's like 6 12 or whatever yeah so something like that yeah and that usually how like what's
the success rate on that that's 100 i have uh i have a hundred percent fail rate on actually
fighting a ticket for real dude these fucking cocksuckers uh these pieces of shit they were
like oh yeah uh we got a hand part they told me i had a set i had paid one ticket and they're like
they sent me immediately sent me the same ticket and they're like no no it's a new ticket and I was like
no what the fuck isn't man Wow there was a story of a woman out in Pittsburgh who
got a ticket from the PPA yeah she was on Pittsburgh she's never driven herself
in Philadelphia ever yeah well someone at the PPA instead of putting a W where
the license plate was they put an M and her just like it happened to be an M so
she got a ticket in the mail
All the way on Pittsburgh
She's like listen
I'd never have driven
In Philadelphia
They're like
We can't do anything about it
You gotta come fight it
She's like I gotta come
Drive six hours away
She fought it for like
Six months
Six months
Six months
Finally all they did
Was just go back in
And was like oh
This is your
This is your license plate
Oh sorry
We put a W
Instead of an M
Yeah
That's the kind of
Fucking people we're dealing with
Wow
Like I said
Domestic terrorists Worse than Al-Qaeda.
Good luck with your podcast.
Thank you, man.
We really appreciate it, too.
Excellent.
That dude just dropping fucking knowledge.
I love it.
I love it, dude.
That's what we were looking for.

We needed that gusto, man.
Yeah, dude.
I need someone with that much hate.
I haven't seen that much hate since Kendrick Lamar recorded.
Not like us.
I like that it's such a level of hatred where it's actually pretty common measured.
The hatred's brewed for so long that it's just become one with it.
Dude, Al-Qaeda.
That guy could look more and see himself more in al-qaeda
than he could in the ppa people that's all you need to know is what we're talking about and it
was right off rip dude there was no like we're like what do you think of ppa it's like who those

Shit, how much do you rack up, you think?
A couple grand.
I tried and true method.
Yeah.
Okay.
I respect that.
And like, they just, how does the booting process go?
I guess if they just find you, they boot your car?
I have 12 spare tires.
Let's go, dude.
Oh my God.
Dude, you prepared for this. My whole backseat, dude, is full of just spares. Dude, what do you drive? I have 12 spare tires. Let's go, dude. Oh, my God. Dude, you prepared for this.
My whole backseat, dude, is full of just spares.
Dude, what do you drive?
I drive a Jetta.
You ever see a Jetta without a front bumper?
It's me.
It probably has a boot on it.
Yeah.
Unfortunately, in Philadelphia, there's a lot.
But I am going to be walking down the street one day.
I'm going to see a Jetta without a bumper.
It's bright red, dude.
Look for it.
Okay.
And you have 12 spare tires on your back.
So if they boot you, you just...
Out. I am prepared to lose one. That's So if they boo you, you just... Out.
I am prepared to lose one.
That's awesome.
Really?
Dude, I love a planner.
Now, has one ever shot off or anything while you're driving?
Nothing or you just totally get rid of it beforehand?
I just, I leave it where it is.
What are you talking about?
The boot.
I thought you were talking about the boot.
Yeah, but the boot can't shoot off.
I don't know what boots are.
I'm going to level with you guys.
They put a boot on the tire, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Like on the wheel.
Yeah.
So I just switch the wheel to a new wheel that doesn't have a boot on the tire, you know, on the wheel. Yeah. So I just switch the wheel
to a new wheel
that doesn't have a boot.
And then I leave
the booted wheel there
because what am I going
to do with it?
Oh,
that's like a souvenir.
You're kind of like,
that's like your Zorro
scanning the wall.
Actually,
you know what?
I would take,
I would take the boot with me.
Just as like a,
like a,
like a prize offering.
I have one as a souvenir.
Like a warrior
who just cut off
someone's head. Like I have his head. Yep. Come get it. I have one as a souvenir. Like a warrior who just cut off someone's head.
Like, I have his head.
Yep.

I know.
I totally just iced him out.
Did you want to talk?
Nah, I don't have time to talk.
Oh, okay.
Dude, so do you ever plan on, like, paying those tickets for it?
I guess not.
Absolutely not.
That's awesome i
love that how many times you've been booted at least 10 yeah have you ever thought about moving
to try to find a new area where maybe they're just gonna leave you alone i work here it's
what neighborhood do you live in so people know where not to go down by a near like 22nd and south
okay so you're like point breeze breeze area yeah yeah yeah graduate hospital
area okay that's actually one of the worst neighborhoods to park in there's so much
like yeah there's like no free parking out there yeah that place even if you get it right even if
you get it right on the signs they will still ticket you yeah damn have you ever like run into
somebody while they're doing it and just like try to confront them or it's just it's always
you know they're gone uh yeah the one i had one run in and it didn't go well.
Yeah, how so?
I, yeah, I did some things I regret.
Yeah, okay.
Did you know they make $264 million a year and no one knows where it goes?
No one knows where it goes?
Mm-hmm.
Especially to like public schools and shit.
Nobody has any kind of idea?
Well, it goes to their pockets. There's no actual tracing.
They just say the money goes here
and we're going to sell it.
They're not a real government entity.
They're technically
a government entity,
but they're by themselves.
They don't live under regulation
from the phone.
I don't know if you see this,
but obviously,
I just watched that.
Just cover it back in your face. Yeah, but like the photo of you. What up, City Hall? I just watched that smoke just come right back into your face.
Yeah, but like
the Federal Reserve of...
Sorry.
Oh, I think you're
going to...
We appreciate you
sitting down.
That was...
I just have never got to...
I've always wanted to
jump on somebody's boots
before that looked
like a lot of fun.
That was awesome.
Yeah.
That was awesome.
Yeah, so $264 million
a year.
And just nobody
knows where it goes.
Every couple years,
apparently, they get sued
for $80 million. It's supposed to go to the infrastructure couple of years, apparently, they get sued for $80 million.
It's supposed to go to the infrastructure and the schools.
And what do they get sued for?
For not paying what they're supposed to give a portion of.
Oh, they just don't give it back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they have some obligation to show where that money goes.
Every couple of years, if they're making, you said 26?
$264 million.
Oh, fuck.
Never mind.
I was thinking it's going back from getting sued, but no, it's not.
Yeah. So. Well, we'll let you get to your show. That's fucked up, man. You guys have a great night. Fuck nevermind I was thinking it's going back From getting sued But no it's not Yeah
So
Well let's get to your show
That's fucked up man
You guys have a great night
Fuck the PPA
Absolutely
Fuck the PPA
I hate the PPA so much

Dude you're gonna have emphysema
I just said

yeah i just watched that smoke just go it went to the dog and then it just caught
wind right back to you and i was like did you ever see uh uh the avengers yes where they all
just like pop into smoke oh you think that

Mr. Stark

Lip of Terry

because it made my eyes water
and I was making eye contact
with him
you just made like a statue
well I'm also
I also
please sir can I have another
I was distracted looking at that girl jumping on the guy's boots.
And then that guy's just blowing smoke at me like I'm a low-level guy at his company.
Hey, sir, do you hate the PPA by any chance?
I've had a number of experiences.
And I can't stay, but I live it like this.
I had enough experiences where I felt like I lost.
But so many experiences where I felt like I won.
Really?
So you're going to make his guess?
That's pretty exciting.
That's the first optimistic one we've had.
What are you, fucking Maya Angelou?
You're going to lose in a poem?
All right, you know what?
Let's get out of here.
Let's go down to the tow lot.
I say we do it, dude.
We've been to the first part of the operation.
I would like to see where these things end up and what the hell that looks like
Over the Philly domicile do you have no idea you're gonna see this kind of shit just people just wander around at this point I mean, we're just like out here. We're doing the pot
Chris Chris
Sit down. What are you doing?
The mic throw the headset on oh my goodness brother. What's up, dude? How you doing over here? Grab the mic. Throw the headset on. Oh, my goodness, brother. What's up, dude?
How are you doing?
Holy heck and crud.
Down here at the fucking PPA lot.
It's the best place you could be, dude.
You're one of their adversaries, from my understanding.
Yeah, I made a whole short film about them.
What are the odds, dude?
Are they looking for you?
Are they coming out for you?
I think I put this dumb video I made about the PPA on YouTube,
and then I got surprising hate from people.
I think the PPA's got bots online.
They have groupies.
They do have groupies.
They make $264 million a year.
They better have bots online.
Some guy called me a rube on Twitter.
What does that even mean?
That's an old school term.
I thought it was jerk off.
I thought it was like Pokemon Ruby.
That's a great game, dude.
Yeah, man.
Holy shit.
When did your hate for the PPA start?
Did it start...
Do you remember a specific event?
Nah, well, you know, I went to school at Drexel, and I was racking up tickets.
Yeah.
So many.
And then my car got towed.
Low-key was my fault.
I did park it overnight in Rittenhouse.
Yeah.
I guess I got hammered.
And then I woke up.
Responsible, though.
You didn't drive home.
I didn't drive but i
should have drove drunk you know uh it did cost me nearly three hundred dollars yeah three hundred
dollar tow to get it back yeah oh my god dude they don't fuck around man fuck around at all
i will say i'm starting to look at the like the uber prices i might just start driving drunk dude
at least i can listen to the music i like i'm so sick of like it's like 110 get an uber from cape made a wild one yeah i'm sick of these
bastards yeah so we're getting screwed at both ends we got the ppa who's giving us the business
uber is giving us the business i don't blame you dude one time i paid a guy 175 in cash to take
my car off the the rig wow yeah you paid. Yeah. You paid him out personally?
I paid him out personally.
Wow.
Because I was obviously getting,
I obviously was doing,
he was doing something illegal.
There's no doubt.
He pocketed that money.
But I was like,
it was like two o'clock in the afternoon,
two years ago.
Who carries $175 worth of cash on them in 2022?
True.
Right.
So I'm running around to like bars.
There's this beer store open and everything.
I had to go,
I had to go to a bar.
They only let you take out $100 at a time.
So then I had to go over to the beer store.
They only let me take out $100 at a time.
I'm running around.
Car's up on the rig.
I'm like, this guy's going to take this.
Yeah.
But I ended up giving him the $175 and he actually let it go.
Yeah.
He dropped it.
I don't play.
I mean, that thing, like I would like to do that.
I just worry about the interaction afterwards. Like, do we high five?
Do I, like, dap him up? Like, I
might hug him. He's still an enemy, in my opinion.
In my opinion, I think so, too, Matty.
You love to too easily.
Yeah, I do. You fall in love.
I'm too trusting.
You've never paid a hooker $175.
Would you pay a tow truck guy $175
and now you guys are best friends? He's not even blowing you.
Yeah, true.
That's good.
I mean, I pay the hooker to hang out with me just like spend some time.
I pay a hooker to tow my car.
Tow jobs.
There you go.
We're here with Chris Alio, dude.
One of the funnest comics in Philadelphia.
He did a full documentary on the PPA.
We'll try to link that somewhere.
Yeah, it's out there somewhere.
Around here.
I watched it last night.
It was really good.
It's awesome.
Yeah, dude, it's really funny.
What'd you learn?
It's like, I don't know,
they were politically involved.
They're like a Republican-lobbied,
it was like a Democrat organization,
and then the Republicans got a hold of it.
I don't even know how that works.
Yeah, the old Donald Trump. Something, yeah. Yeah, but they got a hold of it. I don't even know how that works. Yeah. The old Donald Trump.
Something.
Yeah.
But they spent a lot of money on politics.
It's crazy.
It's a partisan organization.
So you were doing full investigation, like going in and seeing what they were doing?
You had a lot of information.
Service level Googling.
Okay.
I hear you, dude.
I did not cite any of my services.
I saw a screenshot of an article.
I don't know where it came from, but you know what?
I had to be like, you know what?
Everything I see, we talk about it all the time.
Everything you see on the internet is real.
It's true.
Yeah, it's true.
It has to be.
If it's not, I'm screwed.
And I know you mentioned this in the video, that money that they make is supposed to go
back to public schools?
Yeah, a portion of it.
So they keep getting sued because they're supposed to give a shitload of the money they
make to public schooling and city infrastructure, but then they just don't.
And then the city's like, hey, you owe us $80 million.
And then they're like, oh, okay.
It's been like that for years.
It's crazy.
Holy shit, dude.
And then nobody knows where that money goes.
I didn't realize it was that bad.
It's really bad.
Did you put in any kind of like, did anybody from the PPA respond back to you?
I know you said you're getting haters.
No, dude, you can't get in touch with them at all they're not real no it's like a secret society
over there yeah it's like eyes wide shut yeah you really yeah yeah they're having the poor
my car again literally dude it is like but the most hilarious thing is like if every organization
in the city of philadelphia could run like the ppa we'd probably be one of the greatest cities
in the entire world it's crazy dude yeah it just accepted work like the PPA, we'd probably be one of the greatest cities in the entire world. It's crazy, dude.
Does SEPTA work like the PPA? You kidding me?
My God. They tow cars
like clockwork and I'm like waiting for the bus.
I might have exploded eight blocks earlier.
You have no idea. It's true. It's crazy.
It is funny to call it a utopia and we're
out front of an industrial park.
This could be us.
One of the harshest visuals you could ever be in front of.
Wafting in porta potty
fumes this is like when they talk about russia and ukraine this is what i think russia looks
like the entire continent i know whatever it's called continent country and the funny thing is
we actually need the ppa to be pretty efficient for yesterday because we need the foot traffic
to get people on this true i know yeah we're kind of actually rooting for the ppa in a way right now
unfortunately we're hope they're we hope they're fucking your day up so you can come and uh
give some traffic to the podcast looks like they were popping already yeah a couple people bringing in
yeah an early toe like this has got to be a nightmare dude yeah dude if you're at like a
brunch it's like 12 30 12 o'clock and we're recording right now if you're at a brunch and
my car got towed i would bring a gun to a middle school and shoot her up in the air
but i would be that angry dude i would i would fill with that much rage too when i got my to a middle school. And shoot her up in the air. Not anywhere near them.
But I would be that angry, dude.
I would fill it with that much rage.
Dude, when I got my car towed,
I had to get here at,
it was like 7.30 in the morning I came here.
It was me and a line of people in the office
waiting to pay for our,
and it was just the most miserable group of people.
Yeah.
But then one lady had like a positive attitude about it,
and she was like,
oh, tough way to start my Tuesday,
and we all wanted to fucking kill this bitch. were so mad at her we were so mad like fucking
don't lighten up it's just nothing to laugh about well you seem more like me like did you go in
there kind of like hey guys lost my old car or were you calling i was like looking at the lady
the register like where's my fucking car oh really for liam neeson i'm just very angry about it would
you grab like uh how much did they get you for? It's like two 53 hunch.
Jesus.
See,
I don't know,
like people that might be watching from outside of Philly,
it's one 75 and then it's $25 on top of it for like holding your car.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like ticket masters.
Like there's like processing fees.
They charge me $30 for a year.
It's like,
it's like,
I can spot one a I'll pay a couple extra dollars. It really is. You're still going to see Andrew Schultz at the end. It's like, can I get spot 1A? I'll pay a couple extra dollars for that one.
It really is.
You're still going to see Andrew Schultz at the end.
It's the worst thing, dude.
Yeah.
That's crazy, man.
So we watched the video, and we're wondering just like, is it something that it was building
up in you the entire time about how furious you were?
Yeah.
Or you kind of heard other stories from people?
Is it kind of like a universal thing, like everybody's getting screwed by the PPA?
Everybody's getting screwed.
And I started making the video in a trance.
I didn't even set out to make it.
I just was like, fucking sick.
I got one ticket and then I recorded a video of myself cursing at my car.
And then I was like, I should do something with this.
And yes, and then I finished it.
But it seemed to resonate.
I posted it on Rittenhouse and I interviewed people about the PPA.
Yeah.
And pretty much everyone was very angry about it there's one guy who was like for them
and i was like i'm so mad you're a jerk you're a jerk you're not gonna make it in my movie
you're not gonna make it on my youtube what was his justification do you remember
uh i think i think he was like oh you, you know, I helped city infrastructure, but you
know, I don't think he, I don't think he realizes that it really doesn't as much as, uh, people
would think.
Yeah.
And if you do look back on it and you do like two seconds of research, I literally read
their Wikipedia page.
The former guy who I forget his name, Alan or something like that.
Um, half his family is on the board.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
And also too, like, uh, apparently, I don't know how true this is but like a pretty
decent amount of like the on the street ppa workers are family related to people who work
in the ppa in like a higher regard it's crazy no shit yeah it's like a mob like nepotism of giving
out tickets is unbelievable yeah i i mean i don't think we'll ever get a ppa worker to actually talk
to us but like i do wonder if they feel bad.
I don't know.
Because like, I don't know.
At the end of the day, like, I got a job to do.
But like, I don't know, man.
I'm just ruining it.
Yeah, right.
I'm ruining someone's life.
Like, we had a guy who was a carpenter in the union.
And he's like, I'm Fred of Heights.
I was like, well, dude, there's other jobs out there to do in the union that will make
you stay on the ground.
You can do construction underground. You can go lower. You can actually go lower than the ground these days, dude, there's other jobs out there to do. In the union, that'll make you stay on the ground. You could do construction underground.
You could go lower.
You could actually go lower than the ground these days.
It's getting unbelievable.
You could get really under it.
Yeah, I don't know.
One time I saw there was a PPA officer, and she was young and my age.
She was really pretty.
And I was like, what are you doing?
How did you get this job?
That's the most conflicting boner of all time.
I know, right?
So I got a fear boner.
I'd like to park my ticket in you.
And she's like, you're going to prison for sure. Absolutely. There's no way around it. I'm going to this Navy yard. I've got fear boner. I'd like to park my ticket in you. And she's like, you're going to prison for sure.
Absolutely.
There's no way around this.
I've got a body cam.
There's this guy on Instagram.
He's got this Instagram page called pics of PPA cars parked illegally.
And anytime there's a PPA car parked illegally, he just takes a photo.
Oh, I love that.
Fucking asshole.
I love that.
I only have one run in with like a there's a ticketing authority like in my neighborhood because there's a main street that I live near.
And some lady gave me a ticket.
We were at a brunch, gave me a ticket.
I was driving home after a couple of cocktails, gave me a ticket.
And I pulled in like a spot where there's like a fire hydrant type thing.
And I didn't realize I had the ticket until I pulled in that spot.
Like I was trying to go grab it, whatever.
And the same lady that gave me the ticket was standing outside of there.
She was like, you can't even park here.
And I was like, I know, I know.
And she was like, oh, I gave you that one, didn't I?
And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she was like, well, you deserved it.
And I called her a douchebag.
I called a lady a douchebag.
Calling a woman a douchebag?
Calling a woman a douchebag is actually the most powerful thing you can do.
What'd she say back?
She looked stunned.
She couldn't believe what I did.
Yeah, she couldn't believe my moves.
Calling a woman a douchebag is crazy.
It was really nice. And it was really like kind of visceral like i wasn't thinking about
it beforehand it just kind of came out so call one a douchebag if you guys are i think the funniest
part of the show is me and cheeto are parked illegally right yeah in front of the ppa lot
absolutely yeah that is an interesting rule though if you are near your car enough and you do have a
folding table next to it you can park park illegally as much as you want.
That's in the book.
Yeah.
Just bring cameras
and a folding table.
That's something I've noticed, though.
If you kind of break the rules,
they'll give you a ticket,
but you feel like
egregiously break the rules,
they'll kind of ignore you.
Like, my neighbor parks
on our sidewalk constantly.
And they're starting
to crack down on that,
but I have people
a block away from me
that park on their sidewalks.
The entire block does.
Yeah.
And I've never seen anything.
Yeah, it's like they don't know
what to do with it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It does feel like a confidence thing.
Like if you park so illegally, they think that you have something important going on.
Yeah.
It's like when, like, you know, like if a hot person dresses really crazy or like, well,
I guess that's just the style.
Yeah.
Well, I hear you, brother.
You and I wearing Levi's and carpenter pants.
What are we doing here, dude?
What the hell?
Yeah, dude.
I got swamp ass.
You guys are making me hot as shit right now.
Sorry about all that.
You always have nice pants, Matt.
Thanks, man. So do you. Thanks you thanks thank you what are you doing after this
you think it's illegal to make out in front of the ppa no you have to guys make it out what if
that was the punishment they're like find the cutest boy you either pay 300 to get your car
back you have to make out with a guy you gotta kiss the cutest boy in your class during pride
month i mean it's, it's real loud.
Shout out to it.
If you like, when you're paying your parking ticket, if you send a video of you kissing a guy, it's 10% off.
They just don't go to the game hood.
They don't tell in the game hood during June.
Yeah.
P.P.
Hey.
There we go.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
P.P.
Hey.
No, we are still ticketing.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. Suck our toes. Like toe. T-O-W. Oh, there you Pee-pee. Hey, no, we are still ticketing. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Suck our toes.
Like toe, T-O-W.
Oh, there you go.
Wow.
Look at that.
Riffin, here we go.
No, that's not.
I mean, that's really.
Don't let us get hot.
Homophobic to associate sucking toes with gay people.
Whatever they want to do.
I mean.
Is that a stereotype?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe so.
I don't know.
I think you just turned that into a stereotype.
What do you guys do, dude?
All right.
Never mind.
Your pants are stupid.
They don't even fit that well.
They're so tight around my waist.
I can't even breathe.
Dude, these pants I bought online and the waist is so tight.
I had to cut slits.
I had to cut slits inside.
You got slit pants all right now, dude?
Oh, my land.
Dude, that's got to be a crime.
That's got to be a crime.
That's an old trick my mom taught me.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah, dude.
When I started growing out of my school pants halfway through the year.
You cut slits in the side.
No kidding, dude.
Yeah, I didn't know that that's what happens past 25 is every single day you are a brand new weight every time.
That's just starting to happen to me now, actually.
What are you, 24, 25?
24.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I've been pretty poor lately.
So I've been skipping breakfast.
Really?
No, no.
Intermittent fasting.
That's true. I really have been. And I've been dropping LBs. I've been skipping breakfast. Really? No, no. Intermittent fasting. That's true.
I really have been.
And I've been dropping LBs.
Yeah.
Dropping them.
Yeah.
So the weight loss secret is crazy, huh?
You see that on like TikTok, all the like the health and fitness guys, they're out of
their minds.

it was wrong they're assholes really damn right why do you say that like or do you think it was wrong? They're assholes. Really? Damn right. Why do you say that?
Like, what do they do that kind of grinds your gears a little bit?
I mean, I was rightfully parked.
I've got pictures and everything.
So I'm just, I'm going through the process.
Oh, you're presently being.
I got my car right now.
That's why you're taking the bus.
Wait, they have your car currently?
Yes.
Holy shit.
You must be racking up daily rent with those guys.
Yeah.
Isn't it like $25 a day?
Something like that.
Don't remind them.
I'm going to end up not paying it because the pictures, not just pictures from my phone,
but cameras everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
But wait, walk us through the situation.
Where was this at?
Where did it happen?
This was on Walmart.
You're talking to the mic on Walmart over on Christopher Columbus.
Yeah, right on.
Not too far from there.
And in the same spot, about a block from there,
I had my bicycle chained up,
and somebody cut the chain and stole the bike.
Maybe you should stop going to that Walmart store.
Yeah, Walmart might be the issue, yeah.
So do you take those pictures to them,
or you kind of just have them for backup for whatever you confront them about?
I take that, and I can also put them on their website or email them to them.
Yeah, okay.
Do they give a shit?
They don't give a shit about the kind of person.
If you're a politician, they're rich, maybe.
Definitely.
Yeah.
So what's the last kind of communication you've had with these guys?
Well,
the last communication,
uh,
excuse my French.
They were like,
fuck you pay or fight.
So when do you have to fight?
When's your court date?
Maybe we'll show up and fight for you.
I'm not sure yet.
I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet.
Okay.
Yeah.
How long ago did you get towed?
Almost two weeks ago.
Damn.
So now you got to ride the bus.
Cause you're also your bike. Sorry for laughing. And Almost two weeks ago. Damn. So now you've got to ride the bus because you're also your bike.
I'm sorry for laughing.
Uber and Lyft.
This is costing you a pretty fucking penny.
I'm keeping the receipts for everything and I'm going to ask them to reimburse me.
There you go. Absolutely.
I'm also hoping to get somebody terminated.
Oh, you're up for revenge.
Terminator.
The secretary.
I got to get going.
Okay, but over or under one and a half people you get terminated, will you be happy?
No, I mean, I won't be happy even if I get my money back and somebody's terminated.
No amount of money can buy a second of time.
Got it.
That's right.
I like that.
You can leave us with that.
And we bought a second of time from you, man.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate it.
Appreciate that, man.
Have a good one, brother.
Time is money.
Dang. Enjoy the bus. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Appreciate that, man. Have a good one, brother. Time is money. Damn.
Enjoy the bus.
Sorry you got to take it.
Enjoy the bus.
That guy's going on a hero's...
That's the most bully thing.
I actually...
I like the bus.
So maybe I think of the bus differently than you do.
That guy's been robbed of every mode of transportation.
Like, they took my shoes.
They cut off my feet. I used to have Heelys, but they
took those too. I used to have Heelys. Yeah, Skechers, if you're out there watching this,
please get this man some Heelys while he's fighting the PPA. But that's the kind of bullshit.
They really are. They're out of their minds, dude. It's insane. What do they get out of
screwing that guy? You know, that guy's a good guy, man. He's a cool guy. Yeah. He's
the best guy, man. What murder? He's literally walking in a zigzag line pattern that guy's a nice guy man he's a cool guy yeah he's the best guy man what murder
he's literally walking in a zigzag line pattern that's okay trying to confuse the ppa it's got
to be a bummer dude getting towed and then we stop him for a podcast he's like i'm gonna have
to get to the bus they're on a schedule so yeah i hate to play like devil's advocate and kind of
support the ppa in the same uh question but but half the people that hate the PPA,
it's our fault.
Yeah, of course.
I got a ticket the other day because the registration was up.
That was my fault.
The registration's been up for two months.
I don't understand that, though.
What does the registration got to do with anything?
I don't know.
They're allowed to do it now.
That's crazy.
That's my business.
Like if police...
Exactly.
If I want to drive an illegal car,
let the cops pull me over.
And then, oh, shit, now your registration's out.
You shouldn't be going around and being like, hey, you don't have a red sticker.
You need a green sticker.
I had a joke about that in my stand-up.
It would be like if they're like, you need a haircut, so we're going to give you a ticket.
What? This has nothing to do with you at all.
This is my hair. I don't understand.
I usually, I guess it makes sense.
You could look at somebody and say, oh, they're parking here wrong,
or they're doing something pretty blatantly illegal.
The signs in Philly are unbelievable they're so confusing it's like a
fucking bridge troll they're like you can park here if you answer my riddle three here's hitler
no you're right god damn dude they've been cleaning up this is the fourth one they've
gotten since we've dude someone's got to be tipping them off they just opened at noon and
they've got four already i don't understand this. This is like car cucking, dude.
It's like watching a bigger, stronger car take your car.
Do you think they have a power ranking system in the PPA?
Like, oh, Troy was awesome this year.
I'm sure they got mad incentives.
Yeah, they have to.
Yeah.
Do you think they have like Madden attributes?
Like Derek's got 99 awareness.
99 overall.
I would love to get a hold of that internal politics.
The data?
Yeah.
I want to know.
Chris, wave to that guy.
Yo.
This guy's window's tinted.
He's mad tinted.
I'm scaled.
Hey, man.
Just come on.
You want to come on the podcast?
It's a PPA podcast.
I don't know if he's waving back.
Oh, it's a lady.
Oh, wow.
Honda Accord, no hubcap, definitely was towed.
Definitely doesn't work for the period.
Same time next week, type of car, yeah.
I would love to know, and I think you were talking about internal records,
who has the most tickets?
What is the amount of money for the tickets?
You've got to think it's probably a government employee,
probably the mayor.
The mayor probably parks wherever the fuck they want. UPS, apparently, doesn't pay their tickets. FedEx doesn't for the tickets. You got to think it's probably a government employee, probably the mayor. The mayor probably parks wherever the fuck they want. UPS
apparently doesn't pay their
tickets. FedEx doesn't pay their tickets. They'll just park wherever
they park. Is the PPA ticketing UPS
trucks? Oh, yeah. That's crazy.
They'll just drive until they fly off
the windshield.
When I was in college, I had a professor that said that
him and his wife would always... She went to UPenn
and he didn't, which he always kind of glossed over.
And he said that he would go park to go visit her all the time and he would just get tickets
every time like whatever i don't care and they went to go get married so you have to go to like
a court to get married and they were like you can't get married until you pay these outstanding
tickets and they've accrued interest because it was like 20 years later and uh they went to get
married he's like you owe like seven thousand dollars holy shit because he said he got a ticket
like every week for like 12 weeks straight. You legally can't be in love
until you... You cannot fall in love with her.
You couldn't possibly be in love
with the amount of debt you have. You pay it off.
You're gonna
marry this guy? He's got $7,000
in tickets.
I was like 19 and I heard that and I was like, what a scumbag.
I never parked anywhere before. I was like,
oh my god, dude. They have people like this?
You're pro-PPA. I was pro-PPA when I was 19,
dude. I was pro-PPA. I was pro-PPPA.
Every teenager goes through a pro-PPA phase.
We've all been there.
Our mom storms in our bedroom and goes, what is this?
Like, they're just fake tickets. Why am I problem?
When you move to the city, you get radicalized.
Can we get a towler? Oh, my God. I would love to get a
tow person. Dude, that guy just came in
and now he's going all the way back. It's insane.
Can you believe they put Jesus on that thing?
Wow.
Forgive them, Father.
They know not what they do.
This is a company that killed Jesus.
They would.
They would crucify our Lord.
They killed Jesus and they've killed Hazers.
The CEO of the PPA is Punch's pilot.
Punch's parklister. Comeister come on guys let's have a
blast all right i know a guy who uh he had so many tickets he was gonna get booted but he had
an old license plate and put it over his current license plate because the way they get boots out
is like they got a guy drives by and scans all the license plates so he put one over it and uh
so they never oh my god yeah that's kind
of like where you leave the ticket on your car when you drive places so they don't ticket you
they just put it over top of it oh yeah that doesn't i've tried that a few times have you
ever i've actually i guess i'm gonna be the devil's advocate guy here on this podcast today
i actually left my car in a 30 in a two-hour uh spot for 36 hours one time and never got ticketed
wow which is insane that's crazy crazy. Crazy. Nothing at all? Nothing at
all. I couldn't believe it. Were you like walking to your
car expecting to see something there? Oh, I was expecting to see like
three tickets there. Yeah. And I would have been like, you know what?
That's my fault. Wow. But I didn't get one.
So it's like, that's the thing where it's like,
you can catch a break from time to time.
And then you get a break.
Now, I don't want to talk positively
about the PPA, but at that time. You are.
You actually might be a mole dude you've
had a lot of good stories about the ppa here you might be back in the blue yeah when the podcast
is over he puts on a ppa hat and just walks back anyway fellas you guys get off the property uh
i gotta clock in uh here he comes you want to you want to jump on again for a little bit
anytime it's called men at work um it's on yeah actually yeah there you go yeah so it's
called men at work it's on youtube spotify instagram listen to it while you're on the bus
he's like my phone just got stolen down there so pva took that too come back his hat's gone
this is what the PPA is doing.
Yeah.
Like our one of our greatest citizens has to walk up and down Oregon Ave.
No one should have to do this.
No.
No.
In 85 degrees.
I'm sweating sitting here.
It's like the Trail of Tears.
Yeah.
Horrible.
I guess it is kind of like the Silk Road when you think about it.
Yeah.
So so I wonder like so you talked about in the doc.
There's they're not like a actual
government entity they're their own thing yes i believe so that's crazy yeah it's crazy i don't
even know how that's allowed yeah they're like a for-profit that means we could just do whatever
you know what are we doing become the ppa what could we what could we do to uh we could just
work against the ppa we're an organization we could be the meter
tickets just take the tickets away and they're like you cannot do that yeah so when you pay the
ticket where does the money go to them we just talked about we there's it's supposed to go to
public schools and and infrastructure i know but they said that as like a side kind of bar but i
guess like they're saying of course we need to retain some of the profits is that what pay they
i guess they pay them to meet other people and run their business.
But they've got a lot of millions.
Every year, it's like $80 million of undocumented money.
Nobody knows what's being done with that.
But people think it's used for lobbying for politics.
It's pretty crazy.
We should become politicians.
That's true.
That's kind of a long game.
Become politicians, kind of make nice with the PPA, get all their money, and then use it to fund. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. That's kind of a long game. Become a politician, kind of make nice
with the PPA, get all their money, and then use
it to fund. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
We should get rid of these. A long ploy.
I like that. Become a PP politician.
Let's get this guy across the street over here.
Yeah. Hey!
Hello, sir!
Oh, he's coming.
Yeah. Yeah, people...
I thought I should...
Never mind, actually.
And that car gets towed.
Either dragging him off the back.
His family's going to pay to get him out of the lot.
What were you doing over there?
I just come back from...
Oh, okay.
We thought you lost your car and it might be in here.
So that's why I waved you over.
Yeah, we're talking about the cars. Yeah. Have you been towed before? Have you ever lost your car and it might be in here, so that's why we waved you over. Yeah, we're talking about the cars, yeah.
Have you been towed before?
Have you ever lost your car or anything like that?
Not yet, not yet.
Never, never.
Oh, wow.
Not yet.
You're expecting it, though.
That's how bad it is.
You think it might happen.
Yeah.
No kidding.
Thank you.
Enjoy your hockey.
Oh.
Can I take a picture of your face?
Oh, sure.
If you come talk to us for a little bit.
If you come talk to us for a little bit, you can take a picture.
Oh, he wants a picture of the...
He wants a picture of that so he knows where to go when his car gets to.
Sorry about that, brother.
See you.
Godspeed.
Take a selfie in the lead.
You know, I feel like...
I feel like he's got a lot of blue-collar, very conservative guys,
but the PPA turns people full Antifa.
Yeah.
PPA could flip like my dad.
Full-blown. hair blue you get a union guy gets a ticket and he's like we should have socialized health
oh my god you don't mean that you're just upset is that the u-haul or is that that
that was a u-haul that lady just screamed at the top of her lungs.
That's the rage that I feel from the PPA.
I don't know which one.
She had to buy a U-Haul because her car got jacked.
She yelled and pointed it over us.
Is it the PPA or three white guys on a podcast?
No!
Not a great comment.
Stop!
Too many!
I got a ticket for getting in a car accident before.
That was my fault.
They give you a ticket?
They give you a ticket for a car accident?
Yeah.
How does that...
Like, they just drove by and they're like,
fuck you, eat shit.
I was pulling out of my parents' neighborhood
back in the Dizzee,
and I hit a lady making a left,
and they pulled in,
and we were both sitting in my neighborhood
called the cops.
The lady was really milking it.
She fell out of her car.
I swear to God, she opened the door and fell out of her car. Of to god she opened the door fell out of her car of course she's wearing a white
tank top with stains on it no airbags deployed by the way there's no reason to fall out of the car
and i get out i'm like hey you okay are you okay she won't answer i'm like are you good and she was
like ah ah cops come you know they take care of them whatever do you need an ambulance of course
she needs an ambulance and then they go like all right well uh that was your fault so here's three hundred dollars worth of tickets and a court summons what you had to go
to court wow you show up you had to like go i had to go to court in the court uh the courthouse

You show up naked, but you're wearing dress shoes.
I was wearing a 1998
Power Rangers costume.
What do you wear to court? Yeah, I went there and my parents
got kicked out of the fucking courtroom.
Because they kept yapping. They were like talking
about me. I was like standing, I swear to God,
I was like standing in the line to go to the judge.
And he's like, you're erased, you're out.
Not erased, not erased. Not erased.
Not erased.
Our bitch fucking kid can't drive.
Yeah.
No, my parents got kicked out.
And then we went and got breakfast.
Be nice, Matthew.
Nothing good happens down here, really, in this neck of the city.
Yeah, we're surrounded by U-Haul places, abandoned factories, UPS stops, and Ikea.
We got a cover from that one Pink Floyd album.
Oh, wow.
Really?
I was like, like fuck that's awesome
we are recording at a
Call of Duty match

unbelievable

What do you usually do?
I haven't seen this lady.
She's got a couple of friends that are gay.
Yeah.
And they're doing that.
That sounded so weird the way I put that.
She's friends with a couple queers, see?
She rolls with some queers.
Some nefarious fellas.
Yeah.
They're a little goofy, but, you know.
Talk weird, but, you know, I let it go.
They're having a pride party today.

So were you
Were you there
Were you getting your car
Back
No no no I'm dropping some people off Oh yeah I'm gonna get an airport So I'm dropping a rental Yeah. So were you there? Were you getting your car back?
No, no, no. I was dropping some people off.
Oh, yeah?
I was at the airport, so they were dropping a runoff and they needed to come here.
Yeah.
Oh, they were dropping a runoff and then they had to come pay their parking tickets?
They said they got their car to and their daughter's prom dress was in the car.
Oh, wow.
They going through it right now.
No way.
Damn.
They want the dress more than they want the car.
Yeah.
They're not giving them the dress out? No. Wow even give them the dress out the car like for me i get
tickets on my block almost every day man like from ppa like the same guy jay jacobs i'm out to get
you jay jacobs he got me probably like 200 worth of tickets in the first and like just this week
alone so it's on site for jay jacobs you know his name yeah damn he come every single morning i wish i had my
car so i can show y'all the tickets but now i want to ask you why don't you just move the car
because i get off so late and my block is so small i live in west philly yeah so people literally
park in the middle of the street right for the night but like on my block it's so small that people my i live right off of main
block chestnut street if y'all familiar with yeah yeah sure street so everybody parks from chestnut
street on my block yeah when it's early but by the time i get off work there's nowhere to park
so i gotta park on the sidewalk if not the sidewalk you literally gotta park two three blocks away but
it's like 11 12 at night
and it's like you're in the middle of the hood 60th street 60th and chestnut so that's not
something that you really look forward to doing so and jacobs doesn't understand that you try to
reason with this guy at all yeah no i i tried to actually catch him but the day i woke up super
early to catch him he didn't come so he know what He know what he doing. You got us in a trap. Yo, man, I got us in a trap.
I wrote, I actually wrote on one of the tickets that he gave me and said, listen, give me
a break.
There's nowhere to park, man.
Yeah.
So he could see it when he come to give me another ticket, but he didn't give me one
that time.
What's he look like?
Is he an older guy?
Younger dude?
I don't even know.
You don't even know.
I hope somebody know what he look like.
If you know what he look like, write me on Instagram.
Cash out Rondo. Send me a me on Instagram. Cash out Rondo.
Send me a picture of him.
Cash out Rondo underscore.
Damn.
You afraid your car's going to get booted any time or you ever get towed?
No, I don't got too many wrecked up tickets.
I ain't had my car for that long.
I just go in there and dispute them if they don't do that.
I think you go to court, talk to a judge or something like that,
but it's just like a headache going through that whole process.
Does he do it to everybody or do you think it's just you?
Do you feel like singled out at all?
I don't feel singled out, but I feel like he knows which areas
where people don't have any parking.
So he like, as soon as he clock in and get his work vehicle,
he like, I'm going to go to these spots where I know people always park on the sidewalk.
I don't know if they get, what is it called?
Oh, so you have parking commission based off of how many tickets they get or whatever.
But he literally knows the area to the point where he's like, all right, this is where I'm going to go.
He's the hotspot.
I know people parking on the sidewalk around here.
So if you could describe where you park at normally, what's it look like?
You said you're on the sidewalk a little bit or is it because there's nowhere else
to go on the sidewalk like in front of my house is a section that i mean is like a little personal
parking spot yeah in front of my house yeah i think let me see i think i got a picture as a
matter of fact oh wow if you got a picture that'd be yeah great out of my car but where everybody
parks what would you say to him if you just ran into him in broad daylight?
What would you say?
I don't even know, honestly, bro.
Are you going to be angry?
Because he's just doing it for you to think.
I'm going to be angry, but it's to the point where there's nothing you can really do
because it's so deep that it don't even start with J. Jacobs.
Right, right.
It starts way deeper than that.
It starts with the city.
So it's like like what can you do
unless you get a million people rallied up and right actually make a change make something
happen yeah we should start ticketing them exactly when they pull up just like put some
shit on their windshield so this this is this is the block next to my block it's low low but you
can see all the cars parked on the sidewalk yeah he comes in that block like seven in the morning
and literally ticket everybody damn sure i appreciate y'all for being out here too actually doing this trying to
spread the word yeah man i was literally thinking a couple days ago like damn how the hell can i
like get to this guy jay jacobs or something like or just like express myself about this because
it's crazy bro it's like people go go to work and make $100 to $200 a day.
And then it's like, throughout the week, you're getting $200, $300 worth of tickets.
It's like...
Can I ask you how much money you got wrapped up in tickets?
Well, I jinxed myself, honestly, because I brought this car beginning of the year.
And I was telling somebody like, dang, I'm doing good.
I didn't get no tickets
all year yeah as soon as I say that he starts swooping around my block so I literally just
racked up like five tickets and a week what are they going at like 40 51 a piece
and it's like you come out and there's no nothing you could do because it's just a ticket on your
car you can't talk to nobody. You call the police station,
try to figure stuff out.
They don't care for real to help you. Right.
They're just like,
oh, we don't know what to tell you.
You said you work at an airport, right?
Yeah, I work at Enterprise, yeah.
They run the PVA runs out of there.
You ever talk to somebody there?
Like, yo, you know a dude named Jay Jacobs?
I'd like to have one word with him.
No, because I know PPA is so big.
It's different sections throughout the city or whatever.
Yeah.
So I know if I ask somebody up at the airport,
they're probably not going to know Jay Jacobs.
Yeah.
Patrol is West Philly.
You've got to find the person and, like, offer them something.
Yeah.
It's crazy, man.
But what do you do at the airport?
You security or?
I'm a customer service rep.
I return vehicles.
Basically, when they return, I return cars.
So you're kind of part of a parking kind of thing?
Yeah.
I move vehicles, travel throughout the city and everything all day, stuff like that.
Wow.
I will say, I do feel guilty that we're talking about parking tickets and we just force you to park illegally.
That's the only thing.
Once you're right here, you can be on the scene.
They'll leave.
They'll leave you alone.
I'm sure we even parked here for about two hours illegally.
Oh, yeah.
Y'all good.
Y'all ain't going to do nothing.
Y'all write out PPA with it. We're like, yeah. We wouldn't have to go far if they did tell us. Yeah. I ain sure we've been parked here for about two hours illegally. Oh yeah, y'all good. Y'all ain't gonna do nothing. Y'all write out PPA with it.
We wouldn't have to go far if they did tell us.
Yeah, I ain't gonna do nothing.
Jay Jacobs is on site, brother. We're looking for you, dude.
It's on site, Jay Jacobs.
We know you're probably a good guy, but we will
put our mitts on you. Stop bullying my man.
Leave him alone, dude. Hey, man, but
I definitely gotta get back to work. Yeah, man.
So I ain't gonna stay around too long. I appreciate y'all.

Excuse me, sir.

Have you gotten towed before?
You're in a handicap?

That's wrong.
Towing a house. Yeah. They're going for everybody, dude. That's wrong. Towing a house.
Yeah.
They're going for everybody, dude.
That's unbelievable.
It's a man's livelihood.
You can't tow a taxi.
Imagine you're on break and come back, your work's gone.
I have to sneeze.
I'm so sorry.
I've been eating that whole time.
They towed your whole business.
The fuck?
The meter's still running?
Who's paying for that? towing employees to see me.
Come back to your corporate job.
They told my desk.
Yeah, my desk is gone.
Fuck, my keyboard.
That's crazy.
Holy shit.
Yeah, what I would do is if I was running for mayor or something,
I would, for three months, I'd pay everyone's tickets.
Ooh, that's good.
And I'd have to get a lot of funding.
It's going to be so expensive, dude. Put a sign a sign like scan this qr code it's on me a super pack just to pay tickets

yeah it's like 20 bucks an hour you can go in there just jam out and I recorded it and we were listening it back in the car and it was so bad.
And I found
the best 40 seconds of it
and I texted it to the crowd and said
what do you think?
Hey dumbasses, we're next up.
Did you feel awesome
in the moment though? In the moment I was like
I think I could drop everything and start again.
That's awesome though.
Dude, delusion is what it's about it's so
fun yeah there's a couple times i remember i sang to my dad one time when i was like nine and he
told me i was nasally i swear to god my sister was like matt can sing and i was like yeah i guess i'm
a bit of an artist and then i sang in front of my dad at christmas time and he told me i was nasally
what'd you go with uh last christmas by way of. See, that's last. He's looking at his little nasally.
Is he coming out right now?
Yeah, I think so.
I can release this.
Are you singing to your dad?
I did.
I sang for real with my eyes closed because I was nervous.
So think about your dad having to stare at some nine-year-old redhead.
What was he doing?
Like, just watching the Phillies?
Like, relaxing.
Like, having a good night.
You're staying perpendicular to him.
I think I caught him, like, fresh off a fight with my mom.
So he's, like, coming off with, like, angry energy. He's like, go, go to him. I think I caught him like fresh off a fight with my mom.
He's like coming off with like angry energy.
He's like, go, go, go.
I'm going to save the marriage.
The power.
And I snapped.
I know I snapped.
The power of my voice.
Like he takes your toys back.
Say it's not real.
Gay ass son. He's like, I'm taking your bike back.
I was never using that anyway, daddy.
Yeah.
Holy shit. You could have had a totally different life if your dad would have been like, oh my God, we got to get your bike back. I was never using that anyway, daddy. Yeah. Holy shit.
You could have had a totally different life if your dad would have been like, oh my God,
we got to get you some lessons.
I know.
Well, he was the same guy.
Yeah, he was.
My dad was a mixed bag.
Said I was a bad singer.
Told me that I could beat Allen Iverson in one-on-one when I was nine.
He's hard to get to you.
We went to a game.
He's like, if you believe in yourself, you can do it.
He was like, I think you're just racist.
Yeah, but dad's hated Allen Iverson.
He has no fundamentals.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He just shoots 30 times a game.
He doesn't even pass the ball.
He's a showboater.
Never seen him set a pick once.
It's like, Daddy, you just won the MVP.
Yeah, man, I put the snow in Eric Snow.
He let George Lynch, Eric Snow, and Aaron McKee
go to the NBA Finals, Dad.
Todd McCullough was the backup center.
Yeah, that was the first time I remember that I did that.
I got embarrassed again talking about the story.
Yeah, my dad does love bringing up obscure white fillies
or like Philadelphia sports figures.
Like Curly Blacksmith was unbelievable.
I'm like, what?
Curly Blacksmith?
That's a character in Skyrim.
Show me your wares.
I wonder if this whole lot exploded,
if like they would have to give everyone a car.
Oh, you think like an Oprah type of thing?
Could that be like a form of Robin Hooding?
Like if a rich guy caught in a drone strike on the PPA lot, and then they were just liable to pay everyone's car back?
That's actually more...
Can you get rich enough to call in drone strikes?
Or does that have to be government?
You have to know a guy.
They have all these weapons stockpiled that they're not using.
They might as well.
Yeah.
I wonder if we could start calling in drone strikes.
Or at least just try it.
I mean, we were kind of talking about it earlier.
Yeah.
Maybe I shouldn't say this on the internet.
Just call 911.
I'd like to report a drone strike.
Latitude 3468.
Longitude 8273.
Yeah, my dad said I'm nasally.
Can you call in a drone strike?
We've implicated ourselves in many crimes.
Yeah, yeah dad said I'm nasally. Can you call the drugs right now? We've implicated ourselves in many crimes throughout this podcast. Yeah, yeah.
It's a...
Yeah.
Fuck the PPA.
I hate the PPA so much.
