Starting point is 00:00:00 I want to wish everybody a happy St. Patrick's Day. And that's what it is, baby, St. Patty. Hey, Patty. Do Patty. We used to have this girl bus, and her parents didn't let her do much. You know, and God didn't really let her do much. She didn't have, you know, she probably had a couple of abilities. But she was in charge of bringing the garbage out to the curb, you know.
Starting point is 00:00:28 and we'd be out there by a bus stop sometime and she lugged them cans on out and it was kind of like one of the only times she'd kind of go out and about and so she'd get all dressed up and even sometimes put her mama's lipstick on and pull them garbage cans out there and we'd be like
Starting point is 00:00:48 hey Petty and she would smile bro she smile I mean she would get all shy sometimes and even hide but she would stop pulling the can and hide behind it. So she'd be hiding behind that garbage can, but we'd be like, hey, hey, Patty. Just kind of, you know, being sweet to her or whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Just not really flirting, but just, you know, just hey Patty in her. And she would just be so shy and nervous, boy. Hey, Patty. And she'd be pulling that can out there at the curb. But she'd smile so big when we'd kind of like be flirting at her, you know. And her lipstick, man, she smiles so big she'd get lipstick on her on her earlobes bruh she was like that happyed out
Starting point is 00:01:33 and there's something nice about that seeing somebody get joyed out happy st patrick's day who was st patrick let me look it up real quick who was st patrick because i've been to some st patty's boy i've been dude i remember one time i was out i remember down in rochester downtown over there and people are getting blasted. They're just like, St. Patrick. They don't even know who, you know, hey, Patty. People don't even know what's going on, dude.
Starting point is 00:02:08 People out there just eating cigarettes. And just, dude, they had one dude, he had his kid in one of those wagons. Like a little wagon, he had a one-year-old just, or maybe a half of one-year-old. That bitch probably, you know, just however much half of one is. And that was him, the baby. Just a little damn manger. This motherfucker had like a little to-go manger.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Just some hay around that bitch. And he'd stacked a bunch of to-go orders on top of that baby, bro. Just to keep them warm, bro. A baby stay warm. Touch a baby, bro. On its back or whatever. Touch it again in an hour. I bet you that bitch still warm.
Starting point is 00:02:54 But yeah, this dude, he was just rolling home, bro. He had like six or seven to go order stacked on that sleeping baby, bro. A bunch of garbage plates stacked on a damn faux mono. What do we got here? St. Patrick. And this is on perplexity. That's what I'm using. St. Patrick was a 5th century Christian missionary and bishop.
Starting point is 00:03:16 He was born in Britain. At age 16, he was captured by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave, where he herded animals for about six years. before escaping back to his family. Let's go, Patty. Hey, Patty. After returning home, he eventually trained for ministry and later felt called back to Ireland as a missionary.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Okay. Patrick spent years traveling through parts of Ireland preaching, baptizing, founding churches, and ordaining clergy. He is traditionally regarded as the first bishop of Arma and became the leading figure associated with Ireland's conversion from paganism to Christianity. Dang, he was that dog.
Starting point is 00:03:59 He was that Lord dog, brother. We ride here. Hey, Betty. He was that Lord dog. The famous story that he drove the snakes out of Ireland is considered a legend, often read symbolically. Since there is no evidence Ireland had native snakes after the last ice age. Wow. So there's no snakes in Ireland, huh?
Starting point is 00:04:24 They're all working in politics in Israel, I guess. Or America. Anyway, happy St. Patrick's Day to everybody who's celebrating. Got my green on. Got my green on. What's cracking, dude? Not much, bro. Just got back from Albuquerquecic.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Albuquerque. They put so many Kirkkirkkirks in it. You know, by the time you're done saying it, you're gone. You already left. You're like, damn, I don't eat, you know, I was there, but I couldn't say it fast enough because they had too many Kikkakakakka.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Alba Kherkkerke. Albert Kerkerkerkerk. Have you tried the green chilis? Bro, if you haven't been to Alba Kekekekka Kikka Kik. Then you don't know what it's like, bro. When you get there, it's freaking, it's very Latino. You know, it's like a lot of like essays.
Starting point is 00:05:23 who never wrote any essays, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like that, it's like a fucking, like... But it's also like a lot of hardworking good people there. A lot of kindness, bro. You know Mexican culture, bro. They freaking... It's a blast, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:38 They have a blast, bro. You know? And that most of our labors in America, most of the hardest workers are Mexicans. Not all of them, I'm not saying that. And everybody's kind of taking their turn over time. If you look through history, all cultures,
Starting point is 00:05:53 have taken their time of being hard workers. And some, you know, some are more prevalent now than others, but it's for sure they got a lot of Latinos there. Latinos, okay, Latinos. And bro, but you got a lot of construction babies down there, children born out on even, you know, you'll see in the street they'll have two kids even just, even the children are involved in trades, you know. I saw two kids just throwing a piece of a drywall.
Starting point is 00:06:23 back and forth. You'll see a homeless dude. He'll have a sign, but it's written in drywall, and it's really edged really well. And, you know, he's got, um, baseboard at the bottom of his sign. You know, like, even shit like that, you're like, damn, this. You'll see a dog house there, just the shingles are done really well. There's just like a Latino guy just drinking under one of the eaves of the home. Um, but yeah, man, it's a place you, you grow to love, man.
Starting point is 00:06:53 but I'll say this about Albuquerque, bro. They don't like doing two stories on nothing. Everything is just one story, bro. One, just like only one story. It's almost like for a long time, they maybe didn't have a ladder. And then finally they got a ladder because they'll be like 50 miles
Starting point is 00:07:12 of just one-story houses. Just like ranch style home. Just, have you tried the green chilies? Everywhere you go to eat. went to a place. I went to watch my friend Diego's sister was playing basketball out there in the state tournament. And so we went to watch our game. And it was cool. It was at the pit where the Lobos play, where the New Mexico basketball team plays. And they won their game. They lost their second game, but you'll get them next year. That's the vibe. And yeah, it was just great,
Starting point is 00:07:48 bro. We went to a place to eat called Frontier. Oh, it was so good. bro. It was just so fucking good. Hey, Patty. But they also, it's like, no matter who you talk to there, they're just like, yeah, have you tried the green chilies? They'll have a dude in a comb or whatever, and he'll finally like start to say something. They'll be like, he's going to talk and he'll be like, have you tried the green chilies? It's all anybody cares about, bro. You could be going to jail and they'll be like, I've tried the green chilies. It's just, there's some, Something about it, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:24 That's just their thing, bro. The green chilies over there. But that was a, it was a blasted just to get to go over there. We just went for the day, caught the game, and came back home. What else is going on? Well, personally, I guess there's, oh, we're going to, we got a, this episode, we're going to talk to some bus boys. We're going to talk about the bus boys movie.
Starting point is 00:08:51 The tickets for the movie go on sale, March 16th. So, that's going to be wonderful. We have some busboys that have just called in and left voicemails. We put an all call out for that. So that's what's popping. Have you tried the green chilies? It's fucking crazy over there, dog. You'll see a kid in the street just fucking throwing a drill,
Starting point is 00:09:19 just throwing a drill to his friend. It's, this is, it's a construction area, bro. The whole place, a lot of people there are working, construction, but the place looks like it could probably use a little bit of construction. So it's just a dichotomy over there, you know. But a lot of great people, we had a blast, man. And unique people, bro. Unique.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I could see why they say a lot of times UFOs landed out there because they got some, they got people that's halfway to space out there. And now, but, kik, kik, kik, they got some people that's halfway to space. Hey, Penny. Have you tried the green chilies, buddy? Like, dude, she chills. She's just bringing out the recycling bin. She's shy.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Um, yeah, we'll get into that in a second. What's going on, dude? With me. I got to check in, man. It's been, it's like, I don't know. I don't want to get into, like, a complaining culture. Um, nobody wants to hear that shit. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:10:25 Uh, I started a, man. I started a thing where I'm taking a break from dating and interacting with women. So that's been going pretty good. It's nice. I just wanted to just take a break from like, I just wanted to have time to focus on myself and my relationship with my higher power. So just to try and get some just things on track better. And, you know, I think like in the world, like you're like a magnet, right? Everybody is like a magnet, I think.
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's just my thoughts. And you attract certain things and your magnet gets attracted to certain places. And sometimes it's a great spot. But sometimes you've got to just check in on the magnet. Make sure the magnets work and see what's going on with the magnet. So, yeah, that's what I wanted to do. You know, because I've been attached to some good metals over the years here and there, some precious metals.
Starting point is 00:11:26 But I think I just need to take some time just to kind of look at the magnet and just see what's going on. Yeah, and I just wanted to try and work on my relationship with my higher power. You know, I've just been recently, I've just been kind of sometimes, I don't know, like I just hadn't really been praying that much recently. And I was talking to my therapist, therapist about it yesterday. I couldn't figure out exactly why. I think, you know, sometimes, sometimes I, sometimes I, sometimes I'll be doing everything I'm supposed to do to take care of myself. And that may not make sense to some people or whatever, and that's fine.
Starting point is 00:12:17 But it's like, yeah, sometimes I just, I don't want to do ever, like, you know, I'll be doing like so many, like, I'll be doing good things for myself, taking care of myself this way and this way and this way. And I know it's impossible for us to do everything to take. take care of ourselves. We don't want to live like as like slaves to like um you know exactly what we're you know every article that comes out or everything we hear you know that kind of thing would be impossible for me but but yeah sometimes I just don't want to do all the things I'm supposed to do to take care of myself. Sometimes I'm want to like well I'm not doing that or there's always one that I'll kind of leave out or I don't know I think I can't understand I can't explain exactly what I'm saying but I'm trying to um yeah I don't know I just sometimes I don't want to do
Starting point is 00:13:09 everything and I'm supposed to do to take care of myself does that make any sense to you Trevin it does yeah and you're saying like you're trying to now kind of check in and like recenter yeah and I was just like why am I not pray like what am I again like I'm not against praying you know I mean I want a better relationship with my higher power I think I think honestly part of me scared if I do if I do the things I'm supposed to to do for myself, then I'm going to have to change. Yeah, that I'm going to have, not changing a bad way or anything, but just that things could be different, you know, and I won't have, I don't know, there's always a part of me that
Starting point is 00:13:54 wants to be able to say, I'm not doing that, you know, I'm not doing, uh, you know, I'm not doing that. No, I'm going to do things my way, you know. So I don't know what it is, but, uh, but that, that's been something, um, And so I was grateful today, like, even before this episode, I was just asking God for some help, you know? I was just saying I just feel kind of sometimes, sometimes exhausted in some ways. I feel like I can't figure out sometimes what I'm supposed to do. Just like in the world, like with work and stuff I can, but I, you know, it's just like, yeah, what does God want me to do?
Starting point is 00:14:41 And maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just scared sometimes of asking the God that and trying. and get in like a real answer. Yeah, what does God want me to do? And then it's like, you know, and this sounds kind of, I don't know if it sounds lazy or what it sounds, but sometimes I get tired of being the one
Starting point is 00:15:03 to always have to take care of myself. You know, I just, I get tired of being in the, it's like, oh, okay, here we go again. I got to be, you know, I got to come to my own rescue. And I know that those are the, that that's the truth. but sometimes I just get kind of tired of it. You know.
Starting point is 00:15:28 And I'm not trying to say anything. Like, I'm doing great. But that's just kind of some real ways that I'm feeling. I've been doing good about pornography and looking at pornoes and, Hey, Patty! And masturbation or jerking off or touching your cock, buddy. but then I've I slipped up yesterday so I think part of me has some negative feeling about that you know not negative but just like you know I think I get tired of getting like man I'll get to
Starting point is 00:16:01 like four or five day you know sometimes I've gotten a long time I've had months and but you know and then I'll just like I don't know so it's all good just trying to be like just say what's going on with me and yeah and yeah that's it sometimes you just, you jerk off because it's almost St. Patrick's Day. But that's not a good reason, dude. You can't be like, I'm jerking off because it's almost St. Patrick's Day.
Starting point is 00:16:28 That's fucking crazy, bro. That's crazy. Hey, Penny. So that's some of what's going on with me. But I'll say this. It has been nice taking a break from, like, dating and social interaction with women has been nice,
Starting point is 00:16:48 because there's been times where it's like, yeah, I have some more time to myself. I have some more time to think. Yeah, and it gives my brain a little bit more like space to be like, okay, hey, what's going on? You know, and to kind of check in with myself. So, yeah, I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that, yeah, just that I can work on the magnet, you know?
Starting point is 00:17:14 So that's been happening. What else? You know, people message me a lot of times will tell me, hey, why don't you talk about this thing? Or why don't you talk about Iran or Iran? Because people say it different. And a lot of people will ask me about, hey, Thia, will you talk about this? Or will you say something about this? This is going on. A lot of different causes that are dear to people's hearts and minds. And I understand that. And I wish there was that I could talk about everything. Sometimes I don't know enough. Sometimes I don't know enough. Sometimes I don't.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I don't, sometimes I'm burnt out from absorbing, like, you know, you absorb so much horrible stuff that's out there that's happening. And it just, like, it ruins you. It ruins you. It's like, and there's algorithms that are set up. It feels like to ruin you. So it's not that I don't care about certain things. It's just that, you know, I have to take care of myself. I have to make sure that I'm living and surviving and make sure that my life is okay and that the people that I'm responsible for through work and family that, you know, that I'm upholding my place in their lives.
Starting point is 00:18:37 You know, so I think that's it. And not that anybody's asking me to answer about that. But I'm sure a lot of people deal with that where it's like people like, why don't you speak about certain things or why don't, you know, and some of it's just, it's too much. some of it's too much some of it i don't know enough about it so i try to i try to speak up where i can i try to speak up when i feel compelled uh and sometimes i feel compelled and i don't know exactly what to say i don't know enough information so i want to have people on to learn more and sometimes we have guests set up in advance and so it's like certain guests aren't the space to have a certain conversation with people. So, yeah, I'm not beholding to anyone about anything like that,
Starting point is 00:19:22 but I do want to say that. And yeah, I'm doing the best that I can. Maybe in time I'll be able to have more information about certain topics and do better. I can do better to learn. And I try my best. It's hard to know also what is clean information. And that's a scary thing. Yeah, I'm not apologizing or anything. I just, I want to speak up about that, that I also have to take care of me and show up in the spaces that I'm supposed to show up as a human. And also not to like, you know, I don't,
Starting point is 00:20:04 it's tough when you attack, when you, you know, it's just, it's a time, it's a lot. And I'm sure a lot of people feel that way, that it's a lot. But I do see things and I do, pray about things, it doesn't mean that I don't know about them. You know, and, yeah, and that's where I'm at with that. You know, I have spoken about this before, but I do have a lot of uncomfort about America's
Starting point is 00:20:30 relationship with Israel, the Israeli political leaders. That's what I mean. I just, I believe that that group is, it is, it just feels like a satanic, regime. It doesn't seem, it feels like they just want to cause pain. They just, I mean, you know, these, they don't even know where all the bodies from Gaza are and they're already moved on to other places that they are attacking and that America is associated now with their attacks. And I don't, I believe that that will come here one day. I, I, I, I believe that that will come here one day. I don't believe that
Starting point is 00:21:20 the Israeli leaders that they have any intention to stop that. I don't see that they have any care for the American people. It doesn't seem like that. I've never heard that spoken. And I believe that if we don't speak up now, that our children
Starting point is 00:21:42 won't have the chance to speak up. Either by law or by worse. And that may sound crazy to some people, and that's fine if it does. If it does sound crazy to you and you think I'm crazy on that point of view, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I don't, you know, I may disagree with you, but that's okay. You know, I do want to, you know, I worked hard to be able to have a voice for myself. And so I hope at least you just respect that. Or I hope at least you just see that. Like, at least I'm trying to say,
Starting point is 00:22:16 what I want to say. And I don't understand our government's relationship with Israel's leaders and with Israel's government. I don't understand it. You know, I just, it feels like there's this war machine and then our soldiers are put into these spaces. And they're just there to serve in America that they believe in. And it's no knock against them or anything like that. It's just, I just don't, I just, it just feels like. it's causing a lot of pain and fear.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And yeah, I don't understand our, our, our, I don't understand Trump's relationship. I don't understand the, our political, like, why we are so beholden to these, to this government, this Israeli government that, that just seems to be obsessed with, uh, control. And it feels like, like bloodlust.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Like they just like, it's not enough. Like after what happened in Gaza, I don't see, to me, I don't see how there could be any other view. But if someone else has a different one, that's okay. That's their point of view. I'm just happy to be able to speak up for myself,
Starting point is 00:23:38 even if I'm wrong. Even if I'm wrong, there's a part of me that, even though I feel scared sometimes that I'm happy to be able to speak up for myself and say that you know because it's I've I've yeah having a voice has always been important to me
Starting point is 00:24:01 and I'm sure it is to a lot of people and they're making laws now there are bills being presented where we won't even have a chance to have a voice at some point there's surveillance infrastructure that's being put into place. There's a lot of things happening right now. And some people are like, well, it's too much for me to get involved in.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I understand that. I understand that. But yeah, I believe that if we don't speak up now, and it may already be too late, but if we don't speak up now, that one day our kids will not be able to. And it's disappointing to me, too, that a lot of our religious leaders haven't said anything. I don't understand it. I don't understand that. But there's a lot of stuff I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:24:50 You know? And I think this has been going on for a long time. I do not understand Trump's like infatuation with or like beholding to this government. But they've had, you know, Israeli government's been involved in America for a long time throughout countless political. party leaders. So it's nothing new. It just feels very extreme right now and it feels very scary.
Starting point is 00:25:25 That's what it feels like. And I don't understand how our relationship with them is helping America. But that's just me. That's just my thoughts. All right. Let's move on.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I just had to say that. So I know some people was like, dude, it's too political, whatever, but that's, I have to speak up for myself. You know what I'm saying? I've worked hard in my life to have a place for a voice. And you may not even want everyone to hear my voice again. That's okay. But I have to speak up for myself, even if I'm wrong. And it's just a lot, that's a lot of fear I see just every day people around me. Like, what's going on here? People from different parties, too, that like this Canada or like this Canada, what the fuck is going? I have no idea. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:26:21 but it seems super scary. That's the feeling. Scary. You know, the industrial war complex, just like everything, you know, the fact that we know that our foods are poisoning us, just all, we know that the health care,
Starting point is 00:26:44 that when after your food poisons you, you go to get health, you go to get health care and you get screwed there. It's just, it's funny. It's crazy. It's crazy. and then we get sedate you start looking at a married dude
Starting point is 00:27:01 you get people get sedate it's like as long as I have my vape and I'm able to watch like some kids do the stanky leg video or something like then I thought you know it's like we've just like slowly gotten sedated it's pretty wild and I who knows what will happen but shit went from like kind of seem like
Starting point is 00:27:20 kind of mundane in the world to fucking high speed it feels like But then you can't get so wrapped up in it That's all you're thinking about and all you're talking about either Because then that is giving That's like that's what they want you know They don't want us to live
Starting point is 00:27:39 You know they don't want us to live They want us to be alive But they don't want us to live But anyway I know that all that stuff is a lot But that's just shit that's been on my mind Hey Patty Do you try the green chilies bro? I tried them
Starting point is 00:28:02 I freaking, dude, I was there, you're there, you're in Albuquerque for 11 minutes and some guys coming up. He's fucking got illegal green chilies. He's like, bro, these bitches aren't even supposed to be here. It's just like, dude, I've tried the green chilies. I've tried them. And they're great.
Starting point is 00:28:18 They're great. And we went to a place called, um, L. Can you look it up, Trevin? It's kind of by the airport, I think. El Modelo. Look it up. Is it that one?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Yeah. bro, el modello. And it wasn't beer. I thought I'd go in. It was just people swimming in a bunch of like Modelo beer or whatever. Some guy doing the back stroke, you know? Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Put some drywall on here. I'm drowning. But it was just like the sweetest ladies working in there. I mean the best, bro. And it was just good, bro. It just felt like, dang. It felt like when you walked in there, it felt like your grandmother loved it.
Starting point is 00:29:02 loved you right when you walked in, homie. Even the gangbangers, they were taking off their face tattoos before they walked in, bro. There was like a lot of respect for El Modelo. But it was, yeah, I had a good time over there. And shout out to my friend Abby Pavia. She's a great basketball player. And she's got a big heart.
Starting point is 00:29:30 And it was great to watch her team play. now let's get into it dog dude st patrick's day have you tried the green beer damn st patrick was a slave bro did we say that trevin i don't think so it says right here
Starting point is 00:29:54 let me see at about age 16 st patrick was captured by irish raiders and taken to ireland as a slave where he herded animals for around six years before escaping back to his family. Dang, bro. And then he went back to Ireland.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Said I'm going to change the game, dude. That's wild. Have you tried the Catholicism? That's what he was doing over there. St. Patrick spent years traveling through parts of Ireland preaching, baptizing. Baptizing, bro. Dog, don't stay under too long, homie.
Starting point is 00:30:36 You'll be late for work. Founding churches and monasteries and ordaining clergy. Dang, he was out there in the streets, pushing something that meant something to him. His own surviving writings are the confessio, condemning violence against Irish Christians. Amen. Okay, I want to talk about busboys,
Starting point is 00:31:00 and we got some callers. We had bus boys that called in, and I'm going to tap into my, you know, you know what I'm saying? I was a bus boy for probably seven years. I bus boy at a couple of places A couple times I worked with a couple sisters
Starting point is 00:31:15 One time over there At the first Mexican restaurant in our area And these two girls named April and May They were the chefs And they were Anytime you came back to get food or whatever They got furious at you
Starting point is 00:31:32 Because they was doing some other shit Or whatever or smoking or whatever And so yeah You'd have to go out to the tables And the shit was laid and shit like that and people left or whatever. Anyway, they invited me to their house one day to party, asked me to bring some beer.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I brought some beer over there, and a dog bit me in. Everybody drank all my beer, and I fucking had to leave early. But what else? I worked at Tucson, Arizona. I was a bus boy down there. I was one of the first busboys to use creatine ever
Starting point is 00:32:03 in the history of busing. I was probably, I think I was one of the top. seven bus boys south of Phoenix probably for a little while and I say that with my whole whole chest I'll say that shit pure as day I was out there boy I was out there I was on the tables bread on six butter on 11 clean up I'm 43 shit diaper some kid they had a shit diaper over there some kid they brought him in that I don't even think they ate They just brought the kid in there
Starting point is 00:32:43 That shit in his diaper And somebody I fucking wrapped a towel Around that bitch And sent him out But I was doing it bro I was on the front lines Of food use
Starting point is 00:32:52 And dishware Dirty dishware I was on the front lines Of that shit So I know the trenches I know what it's like To go back there And I have to look at the dishwasher
Starting point is 00:33:06 And you bring one more tub And you love that motherfucker Because he's in the heat Bro The steam coming off That fucking Hoad the the water hose spigot thing he's blasting bro now my motherfucker got shit hanging off his eyebrows and
Starting point is 00:33:20 shit he got pieces of fucking damp tortilla hanging out of his eyelashes and that bitch is still back there blasting them bitches getting the platos limpyo you know what i'm saying and he don't want and you can't even look him in the eye when you drop off that last bus tub damn bro that's the pain of a real bus boy somebody who's got the tables and the trays and the tubs and and the plates in their heart. When you know, bro, like, I can't bring this to my dog one more time. And sometime I tab them out, I say, man, like we're a tag team, bro. You know?
Starting point is 00:34:03 It's like the World Washington, bro. The WWF, let me limpio a tub for you, Daddy. Get out there and get you a cigarette. And then sometimes he'd have a little pocket of Cameronis or something on shrimps. And he'd get out there and eat them bitches by himself. just to rebuild his conscience and stuff so we could get back. I mean, that's a, dude,
Starting point is 00:34:23 that's a Vietnam right there for some people. So shout out to all the dishwashers too, man. And that last tub, sorry, we brought it in there, bro. We know how it felt. But we all had to get the job done. So I want to say that. But we had some calls from Busters that have been in the game over the years.
Starting point is 00:34:43 People called in. We've got to go to a couple calls of those. But first, I do want to talk about the, about the movie. I just want to tell you straight up that Bus Boys, the movie, will come out on April 17th. So that's when you'll be able to go to see it.
Starting point is 00:34:59 But tickets are going to go on sale March 16th. So, yeah, I guess like, you know, first of all, I got to do this movie with David Spade. And I say this movie, like, trust me, there's a big part of me
Starting point is 00:35:14 that's just I cannot even believe that we did this, right? And we did this ourselves, right? That's what I want to say. You know, I went to Hollywood and you go pitch TV shows. And you do all these meetings. You're always waiting to hear back. You're always in this cycle of bullshit.
Starting point is 00:35:30 You know, and it's always somebody that was nothing like me deciding if they thought I had the ability or the talent or the capability or if my voice should be heard. Right? It was always the, you know, it's the same type of people over and over again. some schmuck who had never fucking done a damn moment of comedy in his life some business fuck whatever you know you go to all these things and and it's for me it was a waste of time for some people it's great it's their stairway to their dreams or to different opportunities and stuff
Starting point is 00:36:04 like that and i had a great time like i met a lot of great people um and i got to develop my stand-up which was the best thing because stand-up was the thing that i liked the most because nobody could give that to their kid. You know, you go audition for some role and then some, some producer's kid gets it or somebody's son or some bull, you know, but stand up, they can't do that. Stand up is you. Nobody could give that shit. Look, I'm going to get my son the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Fuck your son. You know what I'm saying? You can't withstand it, but you got to get up there and do your job. Now, some people may not like my standup, may not think I'm any good at it. That's fine with me. But you have to get it. up there and do your job nobody it's a fucking it's a thin line and that's one thing i always want i always wanted my voice i don't want to do your shit i don't want to do your fucking i don't want to go play some
Starting point is 00:37:01 role where you have me playing this stupid redneck and it's just like because you don't even understand that maybe people where i'm from are diverse of thought and are more intricate and aren't just racist fucking people you know i wanted more than i like i just i don't know i thought their system was outdated to be honest with you and though they you know there's always these are Hollywood it's accepting everybody that's it's not it's not and I'll say that firsthand so I just want you to know where some my energy was coming from and why eventually I started to do podcasting because I just wanted to have my own voice I don't want to read your lines I don't even believe I'd have meetings with people and I would tell them about my life or about how I see things and they would say
Starting point is 00:37:51 It wouldn't fit this narrative. It would all, you know, it wouldn't fit this narrative. And so I got tired of fucking waiting for them. And, yeah, and then so when I got into podcast, and it was a place where we could have our own voice. And I think some of this movie just kind of followed suit. You know, I became friends with David Spade through Adam Eaget,
Starting point is 00:38:21 who worked at the comedy store. And it was great. You know, I still remember the first time that I went to dinner. I met David at the Comedy Club a few times, and then we went to dinner one time, and he gave me a Joe Dirt hat, dude, and it was the best. Because I remember seeing Joe Dirt when I was younger, and it was just like, I didn't know it was,
Starting point is 00:38:42 I thought it was a documentary, you know, because our TV was fucked up. And so some of the audio was different. And I thought it was a documentary about this kid who had gotten left at the Grand Canyon by his parents. and it gave me just such like an affection for this for him you know just like a um yeah because i think i felt like that as a kid anyway i felt like i got left of the grand canyon even though i was right there a bedroom over for my mother you know just like you know
Starting point is 00:39:18 how i felt it matched with how i felt but um anyway a lot of that's a lot of emo shit but so david and i became friends and uh And he's been a great friend. You know, he's got a big heart. He's welcomed me in the circles. He's taking me with him to, like, fancy parties where they have fancy silverware, and there's fucking, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:41 people are stealing shit from the place. Like, that's how nice the shit is there. Like, I've been to a lot of places where nobody's stealing shit. Because people are like, oh, this shit's trash. I already got this shit at home. I ain't stealing more or just shit.
Starting point is 00:39:55 But I've been to places where they got really nice. shit with him. I met John Hamm with him. I met John Hamm. Yeah, just So anyway, just getting to know him was a blessing and then
Starting point is 00:40:14 we started, it was during COVID, we started writing a movie together. And David, even this, I'll say this, he, you know, I ran out of gas one time and he brought me gas. And he almost got hit by a damn, Kia Sophia. I mean, fucking so close to hitting him and killing. I don't know if it would have killed him.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I don't know. He's not the biggest guy, but he could have challenged it. But I don't know. But he brought that shit out, ran across the interstate and shit, bringing me fucking gas. So, I mean, just nice shit, man. And so we started writing this movie. Because we...
Starting point is 00:40:58 And one thing that we found that we had... had in common was that we both worked as busboys in Arizona. I worked in Arizona under, they had this guy Sam Fox. He's a restaurateur. He's a friend of mine. He had, this was his first restaurant. And I worked there as a bus boy. And David had worked as a bus boy over there in Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:41:17 And so we had this relationship of busing in the desert, man. Even when there's water shortages and shit like that, bro. Imagine you got to clean up 20 tables and you ain't got no water, cut. Who are you now? Who are you now? I was still a bus boy. So I stayed in that shit, man. I stayed in that shit.
Starting point is 00:41:42 That was our Ewo Jima cut. And so that's where I was, man. And so we kind of bonded on that type of shit. And then we started writing this movie. Yeah, and nobody really wanted to help, you know? And that's fine. I'm not complaining. I'm just saying what it was, right?
Starting point is 00:41:59 I wanted to let you know where we were at mentally, what was going on with us in our brains and stuff. Nobody really wanted help. We couldn't. We reached out to some directors that we liked. They didn't want to deal with it. Our agencies didn't really help. You know, there was some emailing back and forth and some light shit, but nothing really
Starting point is 00:42:17 like, we're going to take these guys and we're going to believe in them, you know? We're going to really take these guys and do something. There wasn't any of that. And I say that that's true. And so we got to a spot where it was like, damn, we got to make this. or just go by our ways. And we'd spend a lot of time together and made it and written it so far
Starting point is 00:42:38 and all of that. And so we just put up our own money. You know, we put up our own money. And then next thing you know, dude, we were making a real movie. And this is crazy. I didn't think it was real until I showed up that day on set to shoot.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Because it had just all been emails. It had been David and I writing and we would go meet at his place and sometimes we would get Jimmy Johns and sometimes we wouldn't, which I didn't understand. But I would get it on the way home or whatever sometimes. But yeah, we, you know, we made this. But we realized that we had to pay for it, right?
Starting point is 00:43:19 We have to fund. So we put our money in. And I didn't realize until the day that we got to set, the set, I call it. Look, I'm not locked in on all the terminology and shit. So I call it that. I know it sounds highfalutin or whatever. But until we got to the movie site, the first day, and there was like trailers, there was like a woman with makeup or whatever, hair conditioner or whatever, you know. Hey, Penny.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Have you tried the green cheese? Yes, I have. And we were making a movie. And it was crazy that other actors were there that we looked. You know, we did all of this stuff. And so that's what we're making, right? That's what we put together. And we did it.
Starting point is 00:44:09 We created a movie, you know, and we made something. And it was crazy because you get to the end and I was like, fuck, what do we do, dude? I was so scared. And then you go through the editing and you do all this shit and you start to realize, okay, this is how it is. And so that's what's coming out. is our movie that we made completely by ourselves that these people said no to, I don't care, fuck them.
Starting point is 00:44:35 You said no to me your whole life, cuss, you know what I'm saying? I'm glad you're not on board now. So that's where we're at. And I think it's good, man. There's some funny spots in it. It was a huge learning curve. I'm not saying it's the greatest movie.
Starting point is 00:44:53 I mean, it's like a $3 million budget or something. And yeah, I learned a ton. Like if I could go back and do it, there's a lot of things I would probably adjust. Like, I just learned a lot. I learned a lot, man, about how it would operate, just all these different things. So that was a blessing. It was the most expensive course of education I've ever learned in my life. But if you go see this movie, I just want you to know that that's what it is, right?
Starting point is 00:45:27 It's something that we made. We made it outside of the system. And thank you, David, for, you know, let me do this with you. There's some scenes in there, dude, that David does that are so good. And it's kind, man, it's just like Tim Dillon's in it. Nate Diaz, Chris Avila, Jay Farrow, Trevor Wallace, Jimmy Gonzalez, Michelle Ortiz, Lindsay Normington,
Starting point is 00:45:58 Tiago Martinez. Have you tried to bring Chili's Tiago? Steve Little, Sky Bree, Brent Moran. There's a lot. There's a lot. I'm missing a ton of wonderful folks.
Starting point is 00:46:13 So, yeah, all I'm saying is that's what this is. This is a movie that we made that is outside of the system. And we want you to go see it to support this type of of thing because we can do more in the future and we can do it better and we can help fund movies that other people want to make that the gatekeepers don't see you know and that's fine
Starting point is 00:46:37 I don't need the gate you know I don't even want to go through the gate cause I'm coming up through the dirt son I'm through the mud dog you keep that bitch latch dog I'll be in a yard and that's how I've always been and so that's where I'm at that's where we're at with this Yeah, so thank you. If you go to see it, it's not like, what's that movie, Dunkirk or whatever. It's not like that. Okay, so don't think it's like that. It's different.
Starting point is 00:47:10 It's not like Sarah Marshall, right? It's not that, right? This is a movie about two dudes trying to be alive, trying to become waiters. That's what it's about with some love stories in there and some other type shit. But you feel me. But it's got that bust boy mentality in it, you know? I'll be a waiter or I'll get my shit some other way. But we eat.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Even if I work at the restaurant, bitch, we eat. So that's the movie. It's going to be out. I can't believe it. It's kind of scary too because if nobody goes and sees you're like, oh shit. all right, but that's okay too, right? I mean, it'll bump me out, but that is okay, you know. I'm proud of, like, what we've done.
Starting point is 00:48:03 I'm proud that we did something. You know, I feel lucky I got to do something with David Spade, man. Like, you know, I don't even deserve that kind of stuff. And I don't mean that in a negative way about myself, but, yeah, he's just such an immense talent. And to be able to just be around him and spend time and the fact that we ended up down this road together, and here we are.
Starting point is 00:48:28 It's been a blessing. And, yeah, I can't even, but, like, it's weird to say, like, yeah, I'm in a movie. I mean, anybody could be in a movie. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Kim Kardashian was in a short one with some cock in it. So anybody could be in a film. But, um, but, yeah, that we made this and that our friends showed up to help us make this, man. You know?
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah, and just the actress and actresses in it. But I think, I know there's some funny parts in it. I know you'll laugh. I'm curious. I think I'm just super curious like, what is okay to do in a movie? What is, you know, what could we do different? I mean, dude, we got, the first day we started shooting got moved by a week at the last minute. Like two days before we got moved by a week because of the fires that were out in California.
Starting point is 00:49:20 that were like a year and a half ago or whatever, well, whenever the Pasadena fires and the Palisades fires. So that was crazy. I mean, just there was so many things that were like, it is just going to happen. But it happened.
Starting point is 00:49:39 And, yeah. So, yeah, there's some, yeah, like, there's just, like, I hope you'll find some joy in it. It's a fun. It's lighthearted. It's, goofy, it's dumb, it's fun.
Starting point is 00:49:54 And yeah, it's a dream come true to be able to do it. And I promise you that if this one goes well, we will find other things to make. If I'm not, if I don't do good and I'm not the one to be in the other things, that's fine. But we'll create other projects that are funny that people want to see, you know, because that's really what needs to happen, you know, at least to respect other people's point of view of comedy. you know you know and to just to care
Starting point is 00:50:22 like just you know I don't even know if I mean voices that aren't out there but it's just like you know there's shit that's different and
Starting point is 00:50:34 yeah I just I promise that we'll make other cool stuff whether we're in it or not but we'll write it or we'll do something you know so yeah
Starting point is 00:50:46 that's where I'm at you know, so let's get this thing out there, bro. But just one more time, tickets will be on sale Monday, March 16th. You can buy them at busboysmovie.com. So you'll be able to get those busboysmovie.com. If they don't have it in your area, that's okay. It'll notice what area has been looked up. And then as soon as these first, I think, 100 theaters fill up or something,
Starting point is 00:51:15 if we can sell those, then it's going to let us sell more. So it's an experiment, you know, it's an experiment. And I appreciate you guys as patience. I've spent so many hours editing, going through, watching. You know, there's so many choices that you are a part of in this. And I learned a ton. And yeah, and just, yeah, thank you so much. I can't even believe it.
Starting point is 00:51:39 It's just crazy to even get to do it. Whether people hate it or love it, I don't give a shit what the critics think. Fuck them. The critics don't know shit, you know? the critics don't know shit remember that the critics don't know shit the critic is some schmuck who's sitting over there who never did shit that's the critic that's the critic some guy with a pen and a fucking uh he probably don't even have a dip in he probably didn't even have a zen in his cheek in his
Starting point is 00:52:11 cheek to fuck him the critic don't know shit i hope the critics hate this shit. Fuck them. Look, I'm a critic now. Hey, critics. Y'all fucking suck. There, boom. I just did your whole job in fucking four seconds, bitch.
Starting point is 00:52:31 All right. Now, let's get to some calls from some busboys. Some players that been in the game. Boy, you know what I'm talking about? Let's go, bro. And look, I want other busboys to call in. Some of these are good and so on. Some other bus boys.
Starting point is 00:52:47 to call in to and hit the hotline. I like to throw these in from time to time just to respect the culture and keep it going. The hotline, as always, is 985-664-9503. Or you can go to the website Theovon.com. There's a place you can leave. Send a video on there as well if you want to send a video version of you and we can put that in the show. So those are the two ways where you can get in touch and communicate as well. If something's going on in your life and is big or small, or if you just want to say something or if you're scared about something, you want to get it off your chest. If there's something that you feel like me bringing up on here could be of help or service, I'm going to try to do a better job of doing more solo episodes. It's been
Starting point is 00:53:27 hard for me. For some reason, this is this, this, this, doing solos, it takes a lot of stress. It creates a lot of stress in me. I don't know what it is. It could just be what's going on right now and just the busyness of life. I don't know. It used to be a little easier for me, you know. Have you tried to be serious? But it's, it's, but it's, just gotten tougher over the years and so but maybe that will change but yeah I do want to be able to continue to have just more of a personal
Starting point is 00:53:55 relationship and maybe that's something that I need to pray about and can pray about. So anyway, love you guys, the hotline 985-664-9503. Let's get to some calls. Hey dear, this is Jacob
Starting point is 00:54:11 from Cincinnati area. What's up, Jacob. Nice to hear from you. Sorry you guys just lost Trey Hendricks in there. I saw that. But blessings onward, baby. I saw your Instagram story talking about busboys, so I used to be a bus boy
Starting point is 00:54:27 back in high school. Thank you for your service, brother. My sophomore and my junior year. At a pretty high-end restaurant. And I think the craziest thing that happened to me there, I saw some tits once, but that's not, I mean... That's normal shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:54:45 That's street shit. You could see a tit in. anywhere, bro. Close your eyes, open them bitches. Might see one onward. I don't know, man. I'm more of a butt got myself, but... Bro, a butt is just a big tits on the back, bro, with no nipples with no milk in them. That's all a bud is. Let's hear it. There's one day I was working, and I agreed at this table, and this lady was mad.
Starting point is 00:55:09 She's like, can I have a lost her best? I said, yeah, let me grab my waces so quick. And she started ripping my ass. She's like, you don't need to go tell her this and tell her that. Just go get me the lobster best. And I was like, all right. Well, you know, some time goes by. She gets up to go to the restroom. So I go over there to check on the brother.
Starting point is 00:55:30 And he says, hey man, how old are you? I said, I'm 16, sir. He's like, oh, never mind. He said, Hawaii asked. he said uh my uh my wife loves redheads i forgot to mention i'm in jesus but um i'm assuming that he wanted me to have sex with his wife in front of him and uh you know i don't think i would have done it maybe for the right price and shit but yeah anyways d r love you man love you too brother praise god and then he almost got um you almost got a sex traffic or whatever there by an urban couple and
Starting point is 00:56:08 you know that's the kind of shit uh uh that's happening, bro. When you had high-end shit, anything could happen, bro. You might get sex trafficked or whatever. When you had a low-end place, if you had a, you know, if you're working out a subway or something like that or more of like a lower-tier fast, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:28 you're lucky if somebody tries to touch your ass or whatever or something. Or somebody tries to fucking put their hand in your pants real fast and pull it out and get a quick sniff of your egg, boy. But if you had a high-end place, you might actually get traffic, you know, Not some fucking hand sniffing dick monkey over there trying to rub on you or whatever. But what I'm saying is this, dude.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Yeah, they wanted that ginger, boy. They wanted that fucking little firework. You feel me? They wanted that fucking spicy candle. But that's okay, bro. That's the kind of shit. When you work high-end shit, you at least get job opportunities, bro. I always tell my friends, if you're working in a high-end place, you might get a job opportunity, bro.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Hey, bro, thank for your service, bro, type shit. We out, boy, BLM, dude. GLM, too. Kind of. All right, let's hear this. Hey, what's up, Theo? Love from New Jersey. This is Charlie.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I was a bus boy at my brother's steakhouse. And the best part about being a bus boy is you can be fed. You got a lot of food in the back there, so you can snag on the food. And, you know, being a bus boy might not be. The best job, but be the best bus boy you can be. Bro, what are you fucking Richard Nixon or something? Dude, we're just trying to freaking clean up the tables, twin. You feel me, dog?
Starting point is 00:57:56 But I got you. But you don't always get food in the bag. Dude, I worked at this one place, and they would have soup, but we could only eat it when it was really hot, bro. If the shit got too kind of cooled off, the dude wouldn't let us eat it. So he liked watching kids eat that hot soup or whatever. That guy was a per, maybe a pedophile or whatever. But we didn't know them that good.
Starting point is 00:58:17 We was employees, you know. But yeah. But yeah, I feel you. Do you work at your brother's steakhouse and you got fed, bro? It sounded like you was just over there hanging out, boy. That's fucking gentrification, bro. All right, let's take another call here. Hey, Theo.
Starting point is 00:58:34 This is Ryan. So I used to bus tables at this seafood place. And there's this old guy who came in all the time. We're talking in late 70s, quiet. Always sat at the same two-top by the window. Every single visit, he ordered the same thing. A dozen raw oysters and iced tea. Now, if you ever been a bus boy, you know, the rule nobody says out loud, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:59 if a table leaves and there's food that looks untouched, you know, it's fair game. Yeah, you can have a little. So the guy finishes up, pays, leaves, and goes over to, you know, I go over to clear the table. and there's still a couple oysters they're still sitting in the shelves and they look perfect. Oh, bro, them bitches don't look perfect, bro. Going near somebody else's oysters, dude,
Starting point is 00:59:24 that's crazy, bro. Let's hear it. Lemon wedge, cocktail sauce, the whole setup. Honestly, it looked like he barely touched them. Oh, bro. Don't, I don't care if somebody even just a little bit touched an oyster, bro. I ain't even showing up at that thing.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Now, a scallop, bro. is just a fucking big gay oyster, bro. It's just basically like a bear in the gay community or whatever. But amongst shellfish. Let's hear more. Scallops, they suck. And I'm hungry. I've been running around for like six hours.
Starting point is 00:59:55 So I look around the dining room real quick. Nobody's paying attention. I grab one of the oysters, hit a little lemon, and just slurper right down there while I'm clearing the plates. A couple minutes later, I'm back in the kitchen. And when the servers goes, hey, did you clear that old guy's oysters table? I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:12 and she goes, did he do his weird thing again? Now, I'm already nervous, and I'm like, what weird thing? And she goes, oh, he doesn't actually eat them. He just sucks on them for the flavor and spits them back in the shell. Man, when I tell you, the entire kitchen turned to look at me, because by that point, the oyster was long gone. The dishwasher just starts laughing, goes, bro, you ate a second-hand oyster. And the whole, the worst part about it was just everybody knew this guy did that. Like, it's just a known thing about him.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Nobody told a new bus. Nobody told me this. So that's the day I learned in a poor restaurant rule. If a food's still sitting at a customer's plate, there's probably a reason. Bruh, don't, you can't be eating nobody's oyster like that, bro. Dang, bro. I can't even imagine that. Oh, it makes my fucking lungs hurt right now hearing you say that, you bastard.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Why would you do that? why would you do that why would you do that I just don't understand why you would do that God I do oh oh
Starting point is 01:01:31 bro that's bad dog my buddy used to be like that boy my boy Josh we used to work over there Mort and seafood over there on a chafunked the river down there in Louisiana, Madison View. And we were busboys back there and shit, and we was always like trying to finish off a little bit of food of that. And sometimes the shrimps, I didn't notice, the shrimps,
Starting point is 01:01:57 if somebody eats a peeled shrimp, sometimes a little bit gets kind of kept down by the tail over there. And he would peel off that last little outside part and just get that last bit of snack off that thing, boy. he was like that though he was like that bro he was a real he got his g ed um let's hear another call on it yo theo this is jackson i got a crazy story story for you i was a bus boy at uh i mean the worst dennings you could possibly imagine oh which one was it every single one let's hear more i'm talking like just people throwing stuff everywhere
Starting point is 01:02:39 It was a mess. We know who you're talking about when you say people as well, but let's hear more. But there's one time this whole group people, 15 people came in. They seemed nice. They seemed real nice. Apparently it was a graduation. And one of the boys just graduated and the rest of the guys are very happy. They decided that they were going to order the all you can eat pancakes, just one of them.
Starting point is 01:03:06 and I have to explain to 15, 17-year-olds. But you can't buy just one all you can eat pancakes. You got to buy 15 all you can eat pancakes. Let's just say they beat my ass and I had to give them all you can eat pancakes. I don't even believe that story. They beat your ass at a dinnies, but first of all, that might be true. Nobody would even notice.
Starting point is 01:03:29 But you just gave them all you can eat pancakes? I don't even believe that. Thank you for the call. Do you believe that, Trevin? I mean, shit happens at Denny's, bro. They beat his ass, and then he's continued to work for the day? Tears in his eyes. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:45 I appreciate the call, Jackson. I just do not believe it. Is it wrong for me to say that, Trevin? No, I mean, it's a fair assumption. Okay. And I'm sorry you got hurt if you did get hurt. But I don't think you did. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Theo, my brother, I used to be a bus bus. slash kind of barback for this steakhouse in Nashville. And I worked there for like, I don't know, a year and a half. And basically I would just kind of pick up dishes from the table sometimes and, you know, cut fruit for the bartender's stuff. But I would, you know, I would clock in at like 3.30 in the afternoon. And I would leave at like 10.30 a night. And I maybe worked, I mean, I maybe did two hours of work while I was there.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And so after about a year and a half working there, the manager pulls me in the office one day. and who goes, hey man, we're going to eliminate your position. We don't really think that we need a barback. And I said, you don't. I wasn't even mad. I was like, yeah, I was like, I've been working here for a year and a half, and I don't really know what I do, to be totally honest with you.
Starting point is 01:04:58 And I've always imagined that that's what it would be like to work for the federal government. So, yeah, that was my experience. Amen, man. that's from a guy Ethan Anderson Thank you, bro. Yeah, that's a dude, I agree. I mean, they just voted to let pet like perverts keep spending money
Starting point is 01:05:16 out of a slush fund or whatever, the government. Our government has sold us up the river, brother. So I'm just glad that you had a job even for a little bit. That'll be it. One day we'll be in a museum, even if you had a job just for a week or something. And be like, oh, tell us about what it was like.
Starting point is 01:05:30 There'll be three people left. That's great, man. That's great stuff, bro. I said, you don't. All right, let's see what else we got here. There's a great one too that I'm going to play after this. I've been a bus boy out and all for a while currently on. Type shit, big dog.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Stay in the game, bro. Stay in the freaking game, dude. Just wear knee braces or whatever if things are getting bad. Stay in the game. The wildest story I had was probably, I was working at P.F. Chang's, and I found someone's panties under the table, and I had to get to the back of the kitchen. But, you know, thank you. You'd have to give them to the back of the kitchen for what, oh?
Starting point is 01:06:21 What did they want them? Some purr back there, huffing on them, bitches, boy. Been there, daddy. We've all been there, huh? To be young. Um, hey, panty. Have you tried the green chili? Uh, all right, let's get one more here.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Yeah, dude, the things you'd find under the table, bro, I found a molar under one table one time. We had a dude left his ashes, his buddy's ashes or whatever from a thing, a fire, death burning thing or whatever, funerals. Um, trying to think, yeah, panties or whatever, bro. And if that's at P.F. Chang's you was at, that shit's popping though. P.F. Chang's was nice, though. At a certain time, bro, that shit was nice. All right. Let's get one more here. I love this one. I think we'll probably finish on this one for now. We'll see. And we might do some more next week. Next time we do it solo. I like this. I like kind of seeing what kind of people were doing what. Bus boys, tell me about it. Bus girls who was out there. Now, we didn't have a lot of bus girls, bro. The busboys had to try to flirt with the hostesses, but we were kind of too low class for them.
Starting point is 01:07:45 So really the waiters got the hostesses, really, to date them. So busboys was always out. That was the thing about being busboys. You were always on your own, bro. You're always this outsider group. You weren't really the kitchen. They didn't respect you to cook. They respected you to carry the food from the cook to the table.
Starting point is 01:08:01 That was it. They respected you to have the food for about seven or eight seconds. That's as much respect as they gave you when you want. was a bus boy. They didn't respect you to cook it. They didn't respect none of that shit. They didn't respect you. They said for seven seconds you could carry this over there. That's how amount of respect they have for you. Onward. Here's a call right here. This from Jason V. Hi, Theo. I used to be a bus boy at a couple different restaurants. The first restaurant was the burger bar in Stockbridge, Michigan. It was owned by my Uncle Danny, who was a Vietnam War veteran.
Starting point is 01:08:39 He loved Asian women. He used to tell me growing up all the time. He's like, get you an Oriental woman, Jason. They cook, they clean, they don't talk back. He owned the Burger Bar, and I worked with him, and the manager of the Burger Bar was my mom. So I worked with my mom. Uncle Danny was the owner, and my mom was the manager.
Starting point is 01:09:01 And my mom had a relationship with her first cousin, Steve. That was the son of my Uncle Danny, and Steve was in the Outlaws motorcycle club And his road name was Pushrod And I eventually got out of that environment And I grew up And I got my own car
Starting point is 01:09:19 And I became a bus boy At the ground Round in Jacks of Michigan I worked a few days a week there And I worked on kids night Which was Tuesday night And they used to have this clown come in And this clown was named Planko
Starting point is 01:09:34 Plinco was in his fucking late 40s or 50s Or some shit And he was named after that Price's Ray game because he and his mom were like really close and she fucking died of cancer or some shit. And he just called himself Plinko the clown. Plinko didn't have a driver's license. I don't know if Plinko was ever legal to drive in the state of Michigan. And I used to have to pick him up for work. My boss would give me like an extra $20 if I would pick up Plinko.
Starting point is 01:10:04 And I formed a relationship with him. He would buy me booze. all the fucking time. He let me smoke cigarettes. And I would pick him up and he put his clown makeup on as we were driving to the ground ground. And he would, basically,
Starting point is 01:10:18 I don't think they, I don't think the ground around paid Plinka. I think they paid him in fucking alcohol because he would just get fucking hammered. And he would make these kids like these fucked up balloon animals. Like, not even balloon animals, like balloon items. Like he had like a fucking hatchet he would make and like a balloon machine gun.
Starting point is 01:10:37 And he would just. be sitting in the back as I was bussing tables and he would be drinking and he would be like I fucking hate kids and I gave Plinko a ride home and after I quit the ground round Plinko actually hooked me up with this dude that he was friends with and his name was Detroit Rick and we used to sell cable to scramblers out of the back of Detroit Rick.
