Alright we're back with another episode of Men at Work who are here at Kellyann's Bar and Grill on 16th and Spring Garden. Three-time wing champion, some of the best patrons of all time. I miss it moving to Fishtown. I used to live here. It was awesome. Matty, how are you?

Dude, I'm doing great. I'm pumped. I mean, I've been begging. As a guy who likes to drink alcoholic beverages, I've been begging for a dive bar episode, for a cool bar episode, and we're finally here. So this is kind of the, uh, it's going to be like the, the, the drunk episode, the drinking episode, the episode where we get a little loose for the goose and we're gonna find some people that work here. Some people that are patrons, uh, Kelly Anne's is the move.

Yeah. Kelly Anne's rules. It's been with me forever. It's been with me before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and now it just came through for us because it was raining outside and that's why we're doing one indoors. So we're gonna get some bar patrons for happy hour and see what we can get. We might horse around and goof around. What'd you think so far? You've been here for about 30 minutes.

One of the coolest bars maybe of all time. I think very, no, Kelly Hans is great. I mean, as a guy who likes just drinking and sitting down, this has been hitting both of those avenues pretty uproariously Well, the bathrooms are hilariously small. Yeah, but I like that because it makes me feel big guys Yeah, it makes you feel I was thinking the same thing I'm getting an Alice in Wonderland syndrome in the back like are the shoulders growing do I have boulders for shoulders?

How many guys hitting double bicep back pose in that bathroom? It's gotta be off the rails I'm talking literally about myself to be honest. Just Scott Steiner flexing in the mirror. You come to the Kelly Ains bathroom, the smallest man would feel like the biggest giant. Get some food and go hang out in the bathroom by yourself and just don't scream. All right, let's get into the episode.

Let's do it. All right, we're here with the owner of Kelly Ains. Yes. Good morning, gentlemen. Good morning. Good morning at three, four o' gentlemen. Good morning. But that's what happens when you own a bar. Time doesn't exist. Time stands still. You're not kidding dude. Man, owning a bar when you're growing up, did you ever think that you would own a bar?

So I definitely, that was always like kind of in the back of my head, but a huge portion of my family were always like get out of the bar business we don't want you to have anything like the whole like almost like you're too smart to be doing that nice things so I definitely took that advice and I went to school and did like went to be an accountant so then you ended up in the bar business people were the ones to be like, ah, you know what, you were perfect for this all along. It all worked out. That's hilarious that your family would tell you that

because as I've known you for almost three, four years now, I'm definitely like, you are perfect for the bar business. Yeah, and I always just had so much fun doing it. I bartended my whole life. Obviously, money's always been good, it's fun. You feel like you're spending the night out. How does that come to be? How did you, the early stages of buying the bar and getting into this entire industry?

The background there is, my dad and my uncle were 50-50 partners here. They used to have another Kellyanne's, it's now called Local 44. It was on 44th and Spruce. So I was more born and raised at that Kelly-Anns. So as a kid, you know, just bar back into whatever, you know, hand out beads for Aaron McExpress, all that kind of stuff. So my uncle was down here. He passed away in 2016. And then after a few years, his wife kind of was like,

you know, I don't want to be involved anymore. Just want to get rid of her half. And then, so December 2019, my dad approached me and kind of was like, hey, you know, this is kind of where we're going. Yeah. And then that's your move. Like think about it, like no pressure. So I took like a month or two, thought about it.

Oh yeah. And then I kind of was followed up with like, oh also, if you don't, we're gonna sell it. So it was one of those things like, oh no. No pressure at all or anything, dude. Yeah, just, yeah. Yeah, and I didn't mention, like, Kellyanne is my mom. So it's a bar named after my mom.

So I was kind of like, ah, I can't let this die, you know? So. They're gonna turn into like Bobby Joe. And you don't wanna have a bar that's like gonna be Bobby Joe. Muhammad's Pub and Grill. Yeah, Dorothy Anne. Like, ugh. I know, Kellyanne's awesome. That's my mom's name.. Mohammed's Pub and Grill. Yeah, with Dorothy Ann. Like, ugh.

I know, Kellyanne's awesome. That's my mom's name. My mom's first and middle name, Kellyanne. Yeah, shut up, Kellyanne Peoples, dude. Yeah, so I related. I was excited to be here, man. So you guys are like, was it always a big wing place or you took it over and you're like,

we're about to fuck some wings up? Wings have always been the thing here. Always been the move? Yeah. For years they did 50 Cent Wings for Quizzle on Wednesday nights and that was a huge was it always the Kelly and sauce no So that is one that I did bring to the table. Yeah, that was how'd you come up with the sauce? smoking pot

Sauces yeah, that's that's kind of all Pretty excited to hear about the backdoor so you're high as fuck dude. You're living in a you know a studio apartment What's that process like are you just pulling shit out of the cabinet or like what's this look like? I think the sauce by the way I gotta say that my first time having the wings they were incredible Yeah, so good it more comes back to you know you're in somewhere so much You can't eat the same things all the time. I'm not weighing every day I would just be bored as hell so it's just more like mixing every Couple sauces we have together and

then kind of see what comes out there. Nice. What was the aha moment? Was there a certain spice? Was a certain time of the day? Like, what do you remember? No, it was just like, it was just a no brainer. That hot gar parm combination for the Kelly Anne sauce.

That that was just kind of a simple one where it was like, hey, these two. So that's what it is. It's like hot. It's like hot sauce, garlic and parm. And I like you, dude, because you tell it. I mean, I'm sure there's some other spices in there, but you're not hiding anything. If anyone could do it, they would.

But they don't also have three straight trophies of the best wings in the goddamn city of Philadelphia. We love that. How many crispy clean white t-shirts were lost in the process of making this sauce, dude? This is actually the first time I've ever dressed nice here. Because every time when I wear anything here, no matter what it is, it gets ruined. Every single piece of clothing.

So I only wear things here that probably have beer companies on them for that reason. So you own the bar. What's the one thing that you want to put in the bar? There has to be something that maybe due to a law or maybe due to it just doesn't work in this establishment. What's something that you would add to this bar? So I've measured this I mean I've measured every spare like spare inch that we have here ten times. I'm a golden tea junkie so a golden tea in here would always be a dream come true. It's just never gonna happen so something more realistic

Even unrealistic. Yeah, it's your letter. He's pretty realistic. I mean, maybe not in here not here, but I've been to a bar to that golden tick. You know what? I always feel like we could get a disco ball right here Also a little realistic that's realistic. I like we might have something unrealistic. Like I know you're a gambler. Ooh. I know you like your parlays. Like horses, are we talking sports? Like what would, what would JP, Kaisekite making some wing sauce, what would be the most, like,

it'd be the perfect bar? You'd hit the nail on the head with the horse race. There would be nothing better if this was just a bar. It'd be like, I don't know if I can say this, back in the day my dad used to like take, you know, bets. Statue of limitations is probably the worst. Yeah dad used to like take you know, that's statute limitations It's probably exactly so he's out of that now. Everything's legal and jammed down your throat Yeah, so but that is just like what a life that could be, you know, you're just sitting there cracking up

Degenerates just dumping that's pretty sweet. Oh that guy's just smacking the the program. Yeah, there's my favorite videos People again video. Are those the kind of guys. Are those your favorite kind of bar patron? Yeah, for sure. I mean, anyone that likes to use the term one of us, that's a loose term. Just someone I know is just a regular good time, down with a little degenerate action. That's the perfect kind of bar patron. Because that was always my favorite when I was in bartending. When I used to bartend, that was always like, some guy that you could just shoot the shit with,

had good stories. Yeah, and construction guys, you know, we have a great clientele back going on. Yeah, you do have a really good clientele. And that's where I always used to come here when I lived in Fairmount and everything. I loved it here. Yeah, and that's what's good about a lot of the bars

in this neighborhood, you know, they all kind of, we all have the same niche of just neighborhood bars where it's just good times, you know. Yeah, I love like here, McCross and you know, yeah, McCross is great. Yeah, bad brother guys. Real cool with them. How's the jukebox situation? Do you like it? I know it's now I know it's all like touch tunes or the other one.

I forget what it is on top of my head and stuff. Am I like, do you like that? The head and so am I am I like do you like That the fact that it's like all controlled or do you wish we went back to like the old-school way putting a quarter in and no I think it's electric. I love it. It's electric. Yeah, it literally is It's almost like the same reason like listen to the radio in the car is good Cuz you really have no idea what right right way and you wouldn't have thought about that banger. Yeah, I mean You're like, oh shit do a leap. Oh, yeah, I've been there a couple times. Yeah, like obviously the singalongs. Yeah, people Saturday night 1 a.m. Yeah whole place screaming us lean beyond there. We go speaking the devil to it

And now we go yeah, then you got this is there one Is there a song that's a no-go is our song that's ultimate skip? Yeah, so who let the dogs out is automatic no-go You're putting the dogs back in yeah back in you're the sad that you're the pound I got Someone would play it like you can play songs remotely. Yes, so people would play it remotely Yeah, and just hound me no pun intended with it. It was just really ripped me up and so That's a big one. So you're saying if I walk in here and I put on who let the dogs out and I order two waters yeah I'm no good you're kicking me right there good no you can stay but the songs getting skipped and

you can play as many times you want because the money's still going in the machine yeah but it's getting skipped and no refunds any unwritten rules of the bar Kelly-Anne's no any rules any unwritten rules Any unwritten rules? Oh, unwritten rules. Don't be a dick. Yeah. Treat everyone with respect. And that's unfortunately really it. That's alright. That's the golden rule.

I wish we had some rules, you know? But I feel like that's kind of it. What's the proper way to gauge, like, this guy needs to be cut off? How much politics do you need to be talking before you're like, dude, you're out, see you later, see you tomorrow? There's usually a couple of us here. So there's usually a delegating phase that goes on right beforehand.

There's a high council that lets it, that deliberates who's too drunk. They're like, this guy, you guys come together, and I get what you said, yeah. More often than not, you're more getting kicked out for being like, it's like the crazies. It's less like a belligerent man okay what's like one of the things that you've dealt with like one of the crazier drugs that you've seen where

it's like look dude I wish you could say but after you got to get a copy of these oh I mean I could tell you things in the past couple weeks that have happened it's hard to pick one because like I said I I always like wish I wrote down all these memories because I don't know, I feel like I'm unfazed by some really crazy stuff going on. I don't know, you've had people in the bathroom wiping feces all over the walls and stuff. Sorry about that, yeah, that was me.

Dive off, yeah, that's okay. Graffiti. Yeah, we just clean it up and keep it moving. Yeah. That's the bar business, baby. Yeah, I mean, it really just like stuff like that. Obviously Like I've had customers swing at me for no reason, you know Trying to stuff for no reason. Yeah

Are you who's the muscle Whoever needs to be at the time. Yeah, honestly, this is such a chillin place that really nothing ever happened I used to work at and Delco, there was always fights and stuff. It was always a good time. I always enjoyed those moments. You never actually, like, I'm not getting my ass kicked. Yeah, they used the bars as fight club in Delco to see who the biggest man was, to see who the best man was. That's how they decided to marry in Delco. First full fight club, forget about fight club.

So is there a lot of camaraderie between like you and other bars in the city? Have you noticed that you guys are kind of like bouncing off each other or is it? It's pretty isolated. No, yeah, absolutely. I think we're all kind of in the same tune. I mean, I don't look at really anything as competition. I feel like, you know, it's almost like golfers, you know, you're playing your own game.

You know, if you're not doing a good job, everyone will notice. If you are, people will start to notice. And it's kind of on you to like kind of like, you know, if you're a good bar, you'll be, you'll remain a good bar. If you're a good owner, you'll remain a good owner. I also think like for us and me, I love going out to the other bars and, you know, hanging out with other bartenders and developing that camaraderie. Yeah, like I said, I don't get anyone as competition competition. Like I wanna just all rise tides together. Yeah, for sure, for sure. It's true, I mean a good bar,

a rising tide does lift all ships. If you've got a bar like yours, I've come in here before and it's like two pack after an Eagles game, so I'll go to the Macrosses. Or I'll go out to Urban, or I'll go down the streets to Fairmount Tavern or something like that. And that being said, I will look at other neighborhoods, technically, as like, Fishtown is kind of like, I would look at that maybe as more of competition,

because I would want people to come to Fairmount than other neighborhoods. That doesn't make sense. And then I want them to bounce around while they're here and enjoy all that we have to offer. How's the bar business? Because I feel like as long as I've been 21, other than the pandemic, like there hasn't been many like 2008s where it's like, holy shit, we can't go to the bar because we can't even afford food.

It's kind of like the bar business has kind of, as long as I've been drinking, been pretty good unless there's like a global pandemic. As long as there's not a global pandemic, you should be ready. During the global pandemic, I used to come to the makeshift outside spot that you guys make.

Yeah, fuck yeah. Super spreaders. Yeah. outside spot that you guys make. Yeah, yeah. Super spreaders. Yeah. That's what they call us. Yeah. That was my poor name. But the bar business seems to be like it's... Yeah, man.

Everything's been awesome. I mean, I feel like we're pretty fortunate to be in a great spot. This neighborhood has a lot of foot traffic. There's kind of things going on at all different times of the day. So we're definitely fortunate in that regard. Obviously, you see some places that weren't as fortunate over the past couple years. Yeah. It's still like, there's still definitely lingering effects of COVID throughout the restaurant industry. I feel like like two,

three years later still. Yeah. I feel like you can still see it. Like you still see places that maybe never financially recovered to now they're kind of closing. Yeah. Yeah. It's delayed. What are some of the effects as the guys who are like, don't understand like the barbers like, is it like pricing on food? Is it pricing on labor? Like what's like? Well, so definitely those both increased significantly.

Yeah, and they just haven't really ever come down? Not food, like food fluctuates. Labor will never go back down, which is also good. People need to get paid. True. They don't need to make money. That's also the goal. It's why we all do it. Yeah.

I also think just a lot of people, like customers, are more conscious about their spending. I think, you know, I think you see a lot of that. I think people are more, like, COVID kind of taught people to be able to have fun without, you know, going out boozing, which, you know, I never thought it like that. Just booze somewhere else. I still booze at bars. I picked up strong alcoholic places to drink while I couldn't have access to a bar. It's kind of the entire move the entire time. Just find somewhere to drink. Huh? Anything good?

Middle school parking lots. Nobody would know. Good. Yeah, it's good time. Just hang over there. Now what would you say to a six foot one tall ginger who says they like boneless wings versus regular wings? What would you say to like a theoretical guy like that who says they like boneless wings vs regular wings? What would you say to a theoretical guy like that? I'd say, hey we got buff tenders here buddy. Thank you dude. With Kelly and sauce?

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Is there any, we'll keep you for a couple more questions, is there anything you've noticed from being an owner, the difference between bar patrons in a Gen Z kind of area or the boomer bar patron, are they interacting? Is there any big notable differences? You know what, I feel like we're lucky here, where it seems like everyone ends up

in one big conversation together. Yeah. But you can definitely tell a severe difference in just how they both act as bars. Yeah. But I feel like that also goes in being young, learning the whole, you know, being a good bar patron is easy,

truly everyone would do it. I feel like it is a craft to be a good customer. Sure. Like that's one of my points of pride. I feel like I'm a great customer when I go out to other places. But yeah, I feel like a place like this, everyone's just kind of coming together, BSing about the same type of, you know, Philly sports, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, for sure like a place like this everyone's just kind of coming together

BS in about the same type of you know, Philly sports all that kind of stuff. Yeah, for sure. What's uh, What's like? Historically the worst day Every year is there is there a certain day? Is it a certain game? Is it a certain time frame like? dude, honestly, I Really do love my job. So you're an eternal optimist. I really don't have a bad day. I even look forward to Darren

Expresses of the world. They're fun. They're classic. I don't know. And it's hilarious seeing people throw green on and get blacked out. Yeah, so I mean I guess the worst day is when the Phillies get bounced from the playoffs every year Will go further on that because then the whole next week you have to sit here your job is to talk to people about that

About that and I just want to crawl into a hole, but gotta be present and gotta gotta have the tough conversations Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what is and you don't have to put a dollar figure on it obviously, but like what does a Super Bowl run like the Eagles had, like what does that do for business? It's just crazy how monumental it is. And obviously it's a lot of fun. So then you can't even put a dollar amount on people making positive memories in your place and now always looking back and being, oh, I watched the Super Bowl there, best day of my life, blah blah blah. your place and now always looking back and being oh I watched the Super Bowl there, best day of my life, blah blah blah. The parade was our best day that we ever had. It's right out, yeah like five, ten blocks down. I got here at 5 a.m. parade day, I

worked the whole day. There was already like 15 people in here going after it. At 5 a.m. That's awesome. That's early on. Yeah that's the funny thing is like I didn't really understand until I got into the bar business and getting into the sports business being like how much money you make when like your local team goes on a run Yeah, and it's not just sports businesses. It's not just bar businesses. It's restaurants. It's clothing It's you know fucking trades of all Everybody just it seems like makes more money because people are just in a better mood They're going out every single day here to drink. Yeah here to drink it have fun

Yeah, so Dave and if you want to drink and have fun Kelly-ann's baby In spring garden. Yes, best wings in the city. If anybody watching this was like why should I come to this place? What would you say? I just think we have a great time here. I don't think anyone takes things too seriously I just think it's a it's a great place to get off the Broad Street line Why not come in for a couple beers, make some new friends, all that kind of good stuff. I like that.

No one over here. Take public transit. I'm gonna grab one more. If somebody's never been here before, give me the best time, day, and then if you come here, what to order. Give me the quantities, whatever you think. If you're coming here to hang out at Kelly Anne's,

what's the best time, day, and what you're ordering? So I think Sundays are pretty electric here. We do a lot of music every Sundays and that ends up being a real good time. What kind of music are we talking? It's usually just like one or two guys. Acoustic, you know. Guys freestyle? Yeah, you guys are actually going to play a set this Sunday. We're kind of in a game. And then, yeah, so I think Sunday, I also am biased. I love drinking on Sunday afternoons. No, yeah So Sunday afternoons, I would come start with an order of wings and then I'd probably dive into a knuckle sandwich or a Or a pork sandwich. Anybody end of the night you get out of hand you get a fucking knuckle sandwich

Knuckle sandwich is a half cheesesteak half chicken cheesesteak. Nice. Got some banana peppers and fried onions I like that. That's a Ken. that's a Ken Ken one is that a Ken one yeah Ken is a is a legendary person that uh does he have any affiliation with Kelly in that he's Joe manager okay he's Joe manager okay so he does so but he is a legendary person legendary person love it JP man thank you so much thank you guys appreciate it coming out yeah we saved our asses dude from the rain yeah thank you beautiful rain beautiful weather that we're having really appreciate We appreciate you guys coming out.

Same shit. And everybody in the bullpen is just chilling. And they all just they all have camaraderie over hating their boss. That's really what brings us together is hate. Is that what it is? It really is.

Is that what it is? I mean, it's all hate or boss. It's all sort of. White collar is no difference. We just work in an office. You work in the sun. Like, what do you do? Like send a passive email like, ah,

Are dudes jacking off on the job site? You don't have to give any names. You've heard stories, you've heard rumors. There's had to be some people. Somebody's got to be. That is, I heard stories. Yeah. had to be some people. Somebody's gotta be. That is, I heard stories. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, do I know for a fact? Nah, but did I ever think about cranking one pocket?

Of course. 100%, dude. Why would, imagine like, all right, let me break it down for you. Bro, work from home has changed the game. I wish I could. I wish I could. Don't break it down too much,

you'll start jacking off, dude. We'll go to a party right now and you can break it down. I can break it down for you. We go out late and we wake up early. Yes. Okay, so imagine I'm with someone I met the night before at 3 o'clock and I gotta get up at 4.30. What do you think is gonna happen?

That's the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life. That's what I'm saying dude. Cause you have trucks. I press screen to make it like this guy's dick thing. You guys got trucks dude you could jack off in the bed of a truck any time you want. You could lay down, you could face Mecca, you could make everything red as rain.

Yeah, I mean it was different life like 10 years That's very white collar of you guys You're one of us did no matter how far you are. You're one of us You started off as a grizzled blue collar electric never started as grizzled First of all, I started this conversation saying I wish I was like how that's true, but you are still grizzled blue-collar baby Grizzled and then you just came to us as you're going to POV Yeah, I would say so after this conversation no doubt. I wore Birkenstocks yesterday, dude. There's no grizzle whatsoever here

I have a pad in right now, dude That's fault What about me? What's your life like right now? Content? Fuck you man. I saw you at Garage

South Philly Like a year ago. I saw you. Anything else you want to ask before we get out of here? Any parting words about guys who might want to get into like the Union craft or like things like that. Anything that you would advise? Absolutely.

Do you want to make $110 an hour? Yes. I'd like to. Your podcast is great. Your content's great. Thank you. I love it. Did you have fun here?

You're fucking awesome, you're the man. Thank you, man. Were you college graduated or just high school? No, what we all used to do, high school become a junkie become blue collar life cycle of a more productive than the life cycle of the unit I love that all right who do we got here what's your name Maddie Maddie with the IE very nice Do you look at women with the Y a little differently? No.

Yeah, you do. I just like how I spell it better. So you do. So I don't look at them, I just think they're worse than me. Yeah, I got it, yeah, very nice. I think they're more inferior than I am. But I'm a Madison too, not a Madeline. Yeah, well I'm in like the male camp

where I'm a Matt with a Maddie, so I'm an M-A-T-T-Y. You're the boy version of my name. That's right, I think so. Is that right? Probably. It's gotta be. I always thought it was like Matilda was my girl name. What?

Matilda? You never heard of Matilda? I know, I know the name. I don't know, I'm picking it up. For you to say Matilda over Madison is crazy. You might be right. All right, we'll come back to the drawing board. I agree with you on that one.

I think you are more of your boy name being Matilda I think so too. I think a Maddie would be What would that be in a man's? Yeah, but I think you're D. Yeah, I think of Madison also Madison's kind of like a cooler name I always thought Madison was a cooler name like Matthew is kind of like a dork biblical name I've never been able to get there as like Madison's Matthew is kind of like a dork biblical name. I've never been able to get there as like, magical. Madison's okay,

but like a lot of girls are named Madison. Well, you were probably like me, my name's Kyle. So like you were in the 90s, babies books. Everyone's name's Kyle. And everyone's name's Kyle now. I knew like maybe two Kyles growing up. Well, yeah. And now I know like 15 Kyles.

Yeah. True. My dad wanted to name me Carly, because his name's Carl. Got it. But my mom didn't want him to have, me to have his first name and last name. I think that's a fair argument by your mother. Right?

Yeah. I like Carl. Because my mother's name was Karen, and my dad's name was Bob. And I'd be naming like, I want to name her Barbara, if I was a girl. I think Karen and Bob, for us, is Kyle. If Karen and Bob are going to name a kid, it's going to be Kyle. Yeah, every time. Otherwise it's Bob, dude.

You had two choices, dude. It was Bob or Kyle. You kind of landed on the better one, to be totally frank with you, dude. I'm sitting here talking about fucking Matilda. I don't even know what that lady is. I'm losing my mind. I'm talking about Bob and Karen, which is the most Irish Catholic, two sounding people of all time. Oh, yeah, it's an original back in the 1970s 60s name that we are just two names that have just gone almost extinct

That's a good point the names kind of have to come together like what's your mom's name? Eileen Eileen and Carl wait made of Madison. Wait, I told everyone this okay, so, you know the movie up. Yeah Wait, I told everyone this. So you know the movie Up? Yeah. Don't make it sad. No, it's not sad. Your house didn't float away with a bunch of balloons? I wish. But, Carl is the old guy in the film. If you look at the mailbox of him and his ex-wife, it's Carl and Ellie.

Oh, not ex-wife. She died. She died as his ex-wife. She died. She died. She died as ex-wife. She died as ex-wife. No, no. Technically. Why'd you guys split up? She fucking died. Yeah. She died.

No. Wait. There's, no, not shot. Like the one shot in the film. Like, ex-wife. No, yeah. The mailbox they have in front of the house. It says Ellie.

It says Carl and Ellie. That's my mom's nickname is Ellie. Got it. So my parents are Carl and Ellie. We got there. So you're that little fucking kid in the house. It says Ellie. It says Carl and Ellie. That's my mom's nickname is Ellie. So my parents are Carl and Ellie. We got there. So you're that little fucking kid in the movie. You're that little guy who hangs out with them. Okay, yeah. We just were fixated on the fact that calling

a dead wife the ex-wife is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. That is crazy. But I hear where you're at, no problem. So uh. You refer to them as widows. Those widows, the black widows. That's their pronouns.

Yeah, I got bit by a black widow. She was at a bus station. So you bartend here at Kelly Anne's? I do. How's that going? I love it. How long? Like a year and a half so far.

So your roles will be new. Yeah. Still learning the tricks of the trade of Kelly Anne's. What have you learned now that you wish you knew on your first day? What have you learned now that you wish you knew on your first day? That the people are nice I would say. You came in here with like a dickhead attitude. April actually the one that's bartending now.

Yeah. She, we worked together in Delaware County at Barnaby's. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, Habertown, Barnaby's Habertown. Sure, so for those that don't know and I know you, he's a South Jersey guy. Okay. Kelly Ains, Delco is a feeder system to Kelly Ains, basically.

It seems that way, yeah, it seems. So if Visitation BVM was going to like Bonner or O'Hara. That's where I graduated from, O'Hara. Delco comes to Kelly Ains. Okay, that makes sense. Well, the workers here are either from South Jersey or Delaware County, yeah. Really now, yeah the workers here are either from South Jersey or Delaware County. Really now?

Well, Ken is from South Jersey. Nobody wants to admit, but Delco and South Jersey are the same place in different fonts. And Northeast is just their white trash cousins. Northeast is like your crazy Ukrainian cousin who, yeah, I totally agree with that. If your parents died in Northeast Philly, you got all their money you mean your

experience right yeah you moved out to South Jersey with Delka that's right exactly right and it is a big deal a lot of people in South Jersey will brag about how they back like they fucking came off Ellis Island they're like, we had no idea. We got out of Mayfair, dude. I'm going to say the same thing I'll tell people. I'm like, I just moved to the city. They're like, where are you from? I'm like, Delaware County. Delaware County, yeah, yeah, yeah. That huge move.

Delco's a whole new thing. I mean, you guys, are you the pope? Is Delco, you guys have the pope? That's your guy, right? Villanova, yeah. Is that the same thing? We've been getting a lot of fights by those recently.

Villanova's like the main line, I think. But it's technically Delco. Is it? And that's what we fight with people all the time about. Because you could- Is that technically Delco? It's Radner. OK.

True, true, true. You could literally take a rock and throw it to Monko from Villanova. But you know, Delco loves to claim Delco. So once you're in Delco, you're just rooted in Delco. Yeah. But main line, Monco. Yeah.

Being from Delco, did you ever have the accent? You don't seem to have the Delco accent at all. No, the only thing I need to know if people say rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie chicken. It came out when you said rotisserie chicken. Too many syllables for a Delco person's brain. I think that's the Delco thing, rotisserie chicken. What do you get from Ritas? What do you usually, what's the thing you order from?

I like water ice. Okay, so water still stays. I like rotisserie. Which you used to write with that came in a Crayola box. What? Which you used to write with that came in a Crayola box. What do you usually, what's the thing you order from? Oh, like, water ice? Okay, so water still stays, okay, yeah. I like we're just right. What'd you used to write with that came in a Crayola box? What? What'd you used to write with that came in a Crayola box? Crown? Alright, so she says crown.

Crown, royal, that's it, yeah. What do you say? Crayon. Crayon, crown. I avoid the word altogether, because people ask questions like this, like, is it Crayon or Crown? And people get mad. They get angry, yeah. If you say it wrong, like, wrong.

Yeah. Yeah. And I say it wrong every single time. What do you, is it, wait, what do you say? I don't say it, I skip the word entirely. Oh, yeah we're all like wrong. Yeah. Yeah, and I said wrong every single time What do you I don't say I skipped the word entirely. I'm a colored pencil kind of guy, you know I just go right that's a graduated kind of That's exactly right So we got asked so you're bartending here we have a lot of bartender questions You're our first like full-on bartender. Okay. All right, so you started working here. You're kind of getting used to the whole thing

How do you? Deliberate between this guy's too fucked up or this person's right on the edge like what's your what's your kind of like your personal marker in your head if They want if they're being They're not looking at you. Yeah, it's just like you can tell when no one's home What if they're being, they're not looking at you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like, you can tell when no one's home. What if they're looking at you with their head? But they're cross-eyed. Like, no.

What if they're staring at you, but their pupils are looking at their nose? I worked the day of the Super Bowl parade. Got it. Oh my god. And the morning. And when our shift was done at like 6, I was like all, so no, we keep in at 6 AM. That's all right. And our shift was done at like six, I was like, so no, we came in at six a.m.

And like, it's like actually when they ask for a drink and you just walk away from them They don't even know that they asked that's a good point I'm not even like being like you're done cutting you off I just don't even give them another drink and they don't know yeah that they're being ignored. That's good They literally don't they don't know but if you have to cut them off Do you have like an intro line of like I think you're good like what's your nice way to like not? I just go here's a water if you can just drink this for me right now yeah I've gotten

so many water offers at bars I've been to to be totally honest yeah makes sense some people were like chug it or they'll be like oh no I'm like if you get aquaphobic that's how you know you're too far if you have like rabies syndrome that you're getting you've been drinking too much we have like bags of chips so like here's a chance so the, here's a chip, like. So the way to cut off is obviously like set in stone. Are you, like what's like your, when you're trying to get a good tip, like what's your move?

Like thing one, thing two shit? Yeah, well we're like matching overalls. Which people like. I love that, yeah. Right? I envy that, dude. If you came into a bar and you saw me and her wearing matching overalls.

It would do nothing. What? It would do nothing for me. I would be excited, dude. You wouldn't be like, they're both wearing overalls? nothing. What it would do nothing for me I can count the 15 No I've suggested matching outfits on the goddamn

Big cute as hell dude, I'll do my fucking eyebrows. People love it. I don't care. Yeah, let's let it rip. They love it. I agree. What are you, a fucking band? Like more abs? I'm literally known, like in Kellyann's,

like to wear matching outfits. Like I'll find out who I'm working with. I'll be like, we have to wear the same shirt. Oh, we have to. I can't imagine if I was working at Founding Fathers and some person came up to me and was like Or texted me before the shift was like we have to wear matching outfits. I would say I'm not coming in. Oh, come on Would be so cute as hell dude

It would be the most adorable thing if you and I had the same shirt Maybe like we're like a sundress you and I couple sundresses are our fans would love it. Yeah Yeah, that's a good point yeah, yeah, that's all yeah, we got one fair there that's crazy That's crazy. I mean yeah, like if two dudes were doing it. They'd be like All right, you know what you fucked yourself I'm wearing overalls the next episode they have fun with that I'm wearing You know what you fucked yourself. I'm wearing overalls the next episode do have fun with that I'm wearing nothing underneath either Overalls it's just like at a place like Kelly Anne's having like theme night is just insane

Until you do it until you do it today. It's like you guys are like in kindergarten class It's like we're having theme night. Everyone wears a purple shirt today. Like those theme nights that you used to have in grade school. I'm gonna start getting in, yeah. No, you have to. I would actually go. What is the craziest you guys have ever gotten on your outfits?

Like what, like matching ones? Yeah, I mean, what do you get so crazy? It's like, hey, on Sunday when the Eagles are playing, we're both gonna wear Eagles jerseys? We're wearing tuxedos ladies Tuxedos now tuxedos would be funny. That'd be nice Why not they know they can they can take it a political stance on if girls are You can even do it in like a subtle way like I work Sunday nights

Mm-hmm, so I work like most Eagles games. Yeah, but overalls I feel like when the sun's up, that's cool. It's the best time to wear an overall. And then overalls at night gets a little weird. Yeah, I agree with that. That's fair. Yeah, I agree with that. Well, I wasn't going to say that. No overalls.

I'm just trying to tell you what the people think here. It's just like subtly matching. For the Eagles, the Super Bowl day like actual Super Bowl. What'd you guys wear? Surprise us. I texted a guy I work with, I was like I'm gonna buy her shirts. You don't worry about it, I'm gonna buy it. But it wasn't like complete matching. was we each had... Let me guess, hold on, let me guess. Eagle shirts. No way. No way. No way.

So you are on board, dude. Yes, you're on board. It was Saquon Barkley with like, when he was like... Wait, what was his name? Saquon Barkley. There you go. It was Saquon Barkley. Saquon Barkley.

Delco does eke out a little bit. It does, it comes out randomly. You can't get away from it. It is, it's like a It is it's like when I say X let me ask you a question Yeah, it sneaks up on you sneaks up on you and you're when you're just when you're talking and I feel like yeah You like the delco you're like, oh because I don't think you really have a delco accent But then you get going you get your you get your revved up and then you're like, oh

You're revved up and then you're like, oh. Here it comes. I'm kinda curious about, oh god, my phone keeps kill me. As a bartender, is there any unsaid beef between you guys and the servers? No, we don't have servers. No servers, so you are, oh. So what about like, what about like,

Barnabas when you used to work in Delco? Yeah, so the, in Delco, the bartenders always acted like they were better than everyone. They're like, better. Just like, I'm a bartender, you're not. Yeah, bartenders, like, when I first started... They can become assholes. When I first started bar backing, bartenders do have this sense of arrogance about them. That it's kind of like, I'm better than you.

Because you are making a lot more money than the bar backs are. But it's weird to have, like, if you're 25 and you're a bartender, you're beefing with an 18 year old server. It's kind of crazy. I've been there dude, I'm not above that. It's like when I was serving a bar to be, I'd be like, I need my drink made. I'd be like, I have a full bar. I'd be like, no you don't. Yes.

But then Jimmy Baller beats with Anthony Edwards and that's what we call competition. It's all just making people better. It's iron sharpening iron is what they're saying to be totally honest. Here is awesome because during the day we are supposed to wait on the tables, like come out on the bar. But we only have in the morning it's just one person and at night there's two people. So there's no bartenders and servers we're just which is my preferred yeah my preferred way to do it I love full service it's the best I didn't like always being a customer having full service because

sometimes people get swamped with the bar and then it lose out on the table tell people like yeah I like we own people and then if I know we're gonna get busy if it's like a Saturday night, Friday night, into like the evening to like night night, I like tell people, if I don't come up to you, it's because I can't. So just like get my attention. Like, it's not like, it's not because I'm ignoring you. Like, you can yell at me, but like, there's no way,

like if there's like a group of people, it's just like a small bar. So people just hang out out in the middle. Like I'm not gonna stress myself out with carrying five drinks to a table. Yeah, well the good thing about this place being so small is like when you come to a table, you always feel like you can go to the bar and just order.

Because it's literally one step away. The best people are, they're like, I can just meet you right there. So I'm like, oh, thank you. What's the, like if you're a patron here? What's a good move to flag down the bartender without being a rude ass? What's a good like what's the move is there a word is there something we could say in particular? the worst is Hey, bitch, that's probably pretty bad. It's probably yeah

Oh like a confused wave. What about hand up but no wave? Two fingers? Yeah, that's fine. You go three or four, it's kind of a wave down though. The people, what can make me upset is when people, they'll come to the bar, they're like, can I have a Miller light?

And the Miller light's right behind me. behind me I literally go get it turn around they're zooming off to their table that's just bad customer flow yeah that's crazy that's crazy yeah one second ahead of me and then you would have had your beer now I have to either travel through this like whole thing like see a people or somehow wave you down here's one that used to piss me off person orders one drink closes out every time that's me on the credit card that's me every time yeah are you serious because it might not like wait sometimes if people do it if I notice they're like it's like three yes in a row they did it

you just want to keep it open like I give you your card back to you. Bars don't even keep the cards anymore. Yeah, true. They give it right back to you. And they're like, no, close it out. I'm like, all right. And then they always get another one right away. It's the biggest pet peeve of mine.

Why would you do it? Before we give the cards back, the biggest pet peeve of mine is I'll like make, people are like, keep it open. I'll make eye contact with them. I'm like, I'll give you your card. I'm doing hand motions'll give you your card Right back to you. Did you just explain you're doing hand motion? There's a there's video cameras. They'll see

I'll give it right back to you. I turn around swiping. They're gone. Yeah That one's crazy. You said all right. Thank you Yeah, that's an insane move. I would, at least if I keep closing. I mean, personally, when I close one over the other, to me, I'm like, I'm stopping myself from drinking a lot. If I close out now, I won't keep drinking. But then I'll keep going.

But I know. There's an internal conflict happening. You're a monster. You're never gonna stop yourself from drinking. Yeah, I'm not proud of it, but that's the truth of the matter is that in my head, I'm like, if I close out right now, I won't get another one. Then I have to go back out there and bother the bartender,

open it again. But you know. I know and I don't think I'm changing. We're talking about a guy who one time didn't wanna buy something but bought it because he just didn't wanna, he didn't wanna put the person out by returning it. Yeah, I panicked a little bit. I was buying my girlfriend.

But not even by buying it. it returning it back to where it Thank you, I really don't thank you. I really don't just do it. I'm saying I don't And we get our Amazon packages set here No one's gonna be here so like Whatever so I open it, and he starts laughing. I was like, I know, it doesn't look like this when I ordered it. Like, no, it's not.

And he literally, but I was sure, like one of them was like, guys, do you like this? I was like, JP. He was like, I know, it smells the best, but. But that's good. That's what we need more of. But I'll never return it. Yeah, people in the bar should be like,

we should do more of that, where it's like, you know what? Before we introduce a bill into legislation, we should go to a bar and be like, stuff a bar and be like, you 50 people here, do you like this? Like this, no, actually fair. And if the majority don't, you know what, fine. Fair, fair.

Yeah, it's a good move from the Roman, the New Age Coliseum. I just moved apartments. You know what? Fine. Stay out there. Nice. Yeah, it's a good move. The Roman Coliseum. The New Age Coliseum. I just moved apartments. You should have asked everybody what they thought of them. I always had roommates. This is my first time moving by myself. Congratulations. Thank you. I said it. He did.

So congrats. Happy 4th. That's awesome. Thank you. Fuck yeah. I bought a new air fryer. Oh yeah, that's a good time. It was never mine, I just had an air fryer. And you need an air fryer. You do. In today's day and age. Actually, you actually need one.

You truly do, yeah. And, uh, I bought, I went on Amazon, blah blah blah. I bought the Paris Hilton air fryer. Okay, that's a little wild. Cause it was pink, it was like, it was beautiful pink. I read the reviews before I bought it, like... Let me send a little bit closer now. Sorry.

Yeah, you're good. Then it's like, uh... Now you can hear it, it feels nice, right? Uh, now? Sorry. Yeah, you're good. That is like, Now you can hear it, feels nice, right? Yeah. There you go, we're in the ears now, dude. I forgot I was, I'm just talking about this air fryer because I'm passionate about it.

That's good, if you forgot, no, please keep going. Harris Hilton Air Fryer. It's just this beautiful pink, and so I got it sent here, and it's in this big box that says like, you know Paris Hilton, she says like, that's hot. Of course. So on the box it says like, that's hot. Paris Hilton Air Fryer, it, that's hot. Of course. So on the box it says like, that's hot. Paris Hilton air fryer.

It's in like this like pink box. And Ken texts me, he's like, Paris Hilton air fryer, huh? I was like, yeah, I'll get it later. Blah, blah. Does it say that's hot when it's done? No. What a missed opportunity, dude. Yeah, that'd be so sick.

That would be huge. Yeah, that's a good move. Yeah, that would have been huge. But me be huge. Yeah, that's a good move. Yeah, that would have been huge. But me and JP worked Tuesday night together when I got delivered. And I was looking, I was like, do you think it's good? Like really? Like blah blah blah.

He's like, should we test it out? Test it out. 2 a.m. I had to shoot the videos, it's hilarious. We'll be spying some in. But we like bug in the air fryer. He's like, what should we do? I'm like, well, Friar's a two basic. He we like plug in the air fryer. He's like, what should we do? I'm like, well, fries are too basic. He gets wings, like the award winning wings.

It's hilarious. Three time chance. Yeah, well deserved three time chance. 100% bangin'. And it's 2 a.m. We're making wings in the Paris Hilton air fryer. And he comes out, he's mixing them, and we take them out and like, all right,

let's try them bangin Yeah, I'm sure bang. I'm sure I'm sure so Paris still take a job. There's some world on did she did good There's a terrace on the piece. She thinks she pays terrace on the Get out the imports on the imports on the hilton did Now I'm kind of curious because I I met my girlfriend my girlfriend's a bartender and I got I got her number While I was a patron it's a taproom in Hanfield So I'm curious the success rate of a dude at this bar if he hits you with like nice tip and then writes the number Maybe not you specifically how many times have you seen that actually works for our listeners who are a lot of lonely gentlemen

A lot of lonely gentlemen a lot of lonely gentlemen Well that work would come to Kelly ands and tip you well, but also write their number number. Yeah I For myself it can work. I'd like it depends. Yeah Like if they're a nice or like the tip What if he's like what if he's one of the hottest guys you ever, what if like Timothy Chalamet walks in and there's a $140 bar bill, he tips you $8 and he writes his number.

No, yeah, no. You're nothing, no. So that, it doesn't even matter. Because then it's like, he can't be like that nice of a person. Got it. That's a good point, that's fair. If you're trying to like, if there's guys out there

that are trying to like. it's like embarrassing how many times that happens when people are like, it's pretty often now. All like, yeah, all the time. Yeah. And then they'll give you literally like $5 on like, and they'll just talk to you off the entire night. Yeah. And you're like, Oh, I'm going to, I'm going to get a great tip. And then you get one and you're like, yeah, they're start up. People don't understand bartenders. We're not flirting with you. We're actually just being nice and trying to make money.

That's most dudes. Most dudes have a hard time delineating between all these girls wants to fuck me pretty bad or she's just doing her job and I need to chill. What happened to just being nice to people? Well, unfortunately. Everyone just takes us to the next level, especially men. just like takes us to like the next level, especially imagine. Yeah, I can imagine. I could be like, you want to drink? Yeah. And they're like, well, if you're

doing a shoulder shake, you gotta retract that. That's crazy. That's crazy. If I saw a girl shake her shoulders, I might fucking call her dad and be like, can I have her hand in marriage right there? I agree with whoever left your number last. Who's probably watching this and being like fuck you bitch All right, you were shaking your fucking shoulders on me So you were anti a patron no Okay, so shit were you eat? And certain circumstances Did I sure did I not sure that's where you eat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there you go. What's the price? Did that, did I short, did I not short? That's kind of where you eat. I shat, well I ate it.

Yeah, that's true. Did I, okay, yeah. We've all been there. I did have those Kellyann wings in that Paris Hilton air fryer. That'll do it every time, yeah, of course. 100%. Okay.

So, case by case basis. Yeah. It depends. It depends. You get the vibe off of it. Have you ever dated a customer? Barnaby's you had to have. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. How'd that work out? Not good. Yeah, never does. That sounds about right. Didn't work there anymore. A couple Delco guys with buzz cuts and shape ups, they're wearing like a- Dude, they all look the same.

Yeah, they're wearing a baggy Carhartt t-shirt. When it doesn't work out, do they come into the bar? Yeah. They still come into the bar? Well, yeah, but also like, that's why you're not supposed to like, Fuck us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like, you're not supposed to like, shit where you eat. Fuck us. Yeah yeah yeah.

So it's like you don't want to make the bar lose customers. But that's crazy, you know what, here's where I'm gonna defend you where it's like if I dated a bartender and it was one of my favorite bars that I went to and we broke up or it ended terribly, even a situation ship, I would never go back to that bar. I would not be able to. That's why I think you just have to- Some people have would not be able to that's why I think It's either I mean you go and in my situation I met the bartender somehow it worked out and now we have to get married There's really no other choice No, I mean I still go I mean, you know, I have no shame

I'll go there. I'll get fucked up and I'll hit on the other bartender. We're like Moving down the assembly line shorty. Have you seen that like when they come in fucked up, and I'll hit on the other bartender. We're like, fuck this. We're moving down the assembly line, shorty. Have you seen that, like, when they come in? Are they overly flirty with the other bartenders? Like, you've been, like, trying to hook up with, like, all the bartenders? Yeah, because they're obviously, you've lost out on them, so now they're gonna be like.

Honestly, no. No, the only thing, not like, trying to get with the people I work with, but some boys will bring like other men Other men A platoon of young men yeah sure okay Other girls like as they get a little date or whatever Oh yeah yeah yeah And it's like alright like

There is other bars at that point you can go to I respect that a little bit just like hitting on a bartender striking out and be like fuck you I'll bring a date right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. That's good boy. Yeah. No. So before we let you run we have we need to have your greatest bartender story the best thing you can muster bartending serving somebody too drunk somebody who's acted out Never chase anyone after anyone because they gave you a bad tip. That's all that video recently in Philadelphia You know very political answer.

Wait, you running for office right now? That's crazy. No, because I'm like- I was actually gonna agree with that, but then you're kind of right. Some people are like, how much do you want? Like, I literally appreciate- How much do you want?

Like, yeah, you never got in that. Oh, I hate that. People are like, is this too little? And I'm like, I literally appreciate anything I get. Actually, yes, but I've been with people who've done that too. I'm always like, I just appreciate anything I have. Do you gotta go?

No, my GoPuff driver's almost here. On that note, we'll let you get your delivery. Holy shit, how slow is GoPuff? You've been on this pod for like 30 minutes, I feel like. I know, was I bad? No, you were fine. Yes. That's great.

What? I never wanna come back to this bar ever again will never be back here We won't be back here every single week. That's your real walk out of the bill.
