  Trash, trash, trash.

• 1:03H. Foley?

  I'm your host, H. Foley, coming at you on a beautiful day. We're out back here at Toody's in the new addition. She got into a six-pack of Lime Rita's.

• 1:09Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:10H. Foley?

  So I wouldn't wait on dinner.

• 1:11Speaker 01

  That's right, Kipian gang. We could not be more excited to have our incredibly, and I mean incredibly, special guest here with us today for the first time. She is an extremely funny, extremely successful stand-up comedian.

• 1:53Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:54H. Foley?

  One of the benchmarks that we looked up to, that we saw.

• 1:57Speaker 01

  Pillar in our society.

• 1:59H. Foley?

  Got a brand-new book out. Actually, never mind. Give it up for Taylor Thomas.

• 2:02Speaker 03

  Yay. Thanks for having me, guys. That was very impressive.

• 2:06H. Foley?

  I didn't know how to approach that, because when we got up here in 2013, you were like cooking. You were like...

• 2:11Speaker 03

  In 2013?

• 2:12H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 2:13Speaker 03

  No, not in 2013.

• 2:15Speaker 01

  More than we were, for sure.

• 2:16Speaker 03

  I graduated high school in 2011, so that can't be true.

• 2:19H. Foley?

  Somewhere around there.

• 2:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, maybe like 20...

• 2:22H. Foley?

  Fuck, I should've checked my dates.

• 2:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, it's all right. I'm like, I'm trying to think. I was like, where was I in 2013?

• 2:26H. Foley?

  When we were slogging out in the village, when we were up here, we just remember, you were like, you were like a company. You were like, you were moving.

• 2:34Speaker 03

  That is not true, man. I really don't, I wanna yes-and you so bad, but I'm telling you right now.

• 2:39Speaker 01

  She was 11. I get what you're saying.

• 2:41Speaker 03

  I was, I was not there yet. I don't think I had even been to New York at that age. I think, I'm so sorry. We can cut all of this if you want.

• 2:49Speaker 01

  No, this is so...

• 2:51H. Foley?

  Turn the Jackhammer on.

• 2:52Speaker 03

  In 2013, I was 19, I think, and I went, I was full-time at 21. And so I think I probably was coming to New York around when I was 21.

• 3:03H. Foley?

  All right, whatever.

• 3:04Speaker 03

  I'm trying, it's all right. No, no, no, it's so nice. You were, you're the opposite of a creep. You weren't paying attention to me when I was a teen.

• 3:10Speaker 01

  Yes, there you go.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  This actually turned out great for you. It would be weird if you knew where I was.

• 3:15H. Foley?

  If this would've came out smoothly, it would've been good, which I usually do it very smoothly.

• 3:19Speaker 03

  This was good. That was a test. That was a test, and you passed.

• 3:22H. Foley?

  Thank you. Always very impressed with your career.

• 3:25Speaker 03

  No, that's so nice.

• 3:26H. Foley?

  How you did it, how funny you are.

• 3:27Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 3:28H. Foley?

  Amazing.

• 3:28Speaker 03

  Thank you, that's nice. Yeah, you just met a few years later. Oh, no, no, I was like...

• 3:32H. Foley?

  I was on drugs.

• 3:33Speaker 03

  And I clearly was like the worst type of kid in school, where I'm just like, well, actually, it was this time and this date.

• 3:40H. Foley?

  I like that, though.

• 3:40Speaker 03

  So that was annoying. Sorry, my bad.

• 3:42Speaker 01

  No, it's perfect.

• 3:43Speaker 03

  I just can't take credit for being successful any earlier than I was.

• 3:46Speaker 01

  I respect. It's just very, it's very him in the first couple...

• 3:50H. Foley?

  I would've aged it back. You're talking about the 80s. We were all, we were always like, damn, she's cooking.

• 3:56Speaker 03

  That's nice. That's really, really nice.

• 3:57H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 3:58Speaker 01

  Um...

• 3:58H. Foley?

  Anyway.

• 4:01Speaker 03

  I'm so sorry. I fucked this up.

• 4:03Speaker 01

  No, it's so...

• 4:04H. Foley?

  No, no, it's perfect.

• 4:06Speaker 01

  He does this most episodes where...

• 4:08H. Foley?

  No, I don't.

• 4:08Speaker 01

  Help try to bog down a certain date or something, and it's way off. That's just funny.

• 4:12Speaker 03

  Okay, I just don't want anyone listening to go, she's been successful for how long?

• 4:15Speaker 01

  A hundred years.

• 4:16Speaker 03

  And they go, look it up, and they go, no, she wasn't. She was total trash back then. So, you know.

• 4:21H. Foley?

  Yeah, good stuff.

• 4:22Speaker 01

  Right. So, yeah, please.

• 4:23H. Foley?

  Go back to the 70s.

• 4:25Speaker 03

  Yes, yes, yes, when I was absolutely killing it.

• 4:27Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 4:27H. Foley?

  Give us the, the origin story, your backstory, where you grew up, mom's, dad's, brothers.

• 4:31Speaker 01

  California.

• 4:32Speaker 03

  California. Everyone thinks I'm from the Midwest, but it was California. It's just 'cause I...

• 4:35Speaker 01

  Why is that, do you think?

• 4:36Speaker 03

  I got a round, friendly face.

• 4:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:38Speaker 03

  And everyone goes, you must be kind from a cornfield. And I'm not.

• 4:41H. Foley?

  I thought that too.

• 4:42Speaker 03

  And I understand that. And I do think it's, people, people tell me I sound like I have a Midwestern accent, but I don't think that I do. I think maybe Central California sounds a little Midwestern sometimes, but also...

• 4:52Speaker 01

  I get that.

• 4:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, but also LA, everybody's like, you have an accent. And you're like, that's kindness that you're unfamiliar with.

• 4:56Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm not an asshole.

• 4:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's the twang you don't recognize. Uh, but yeah, I grew up in California, more like Central California than like Southern California when I was, you know, 10 or whatever.

• 5:06Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 5:07Speaker 03

  And then I started doing stand-up when I was 16, so I started in high school.

• 5:11H. Foley?

  Damn, really?

• 5:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, I took a class.

• 5:13H. Foley?

  Killing it.

• 5:14Speaker 03

  I know. Well, you know, or I was like...

• 5:16H. Foley?

  Focus, sharp.

• 5:16Speaker 03

  Focus, sharp. No, there's a woman at our church who was gonna take a comedy class from like a Christian church comic, and she was like, told my dad, she's like, you guys should go. And so we all took it.

• 5:25Speaker 01

  As a family?

• 5:26Speaker 03

  Uh, me and my dad and this woman from our church, uh, who was great, and we all, shout out Karen, we all took it together. And then started doing stand-up, and that guy had me like open for him sometimes, and I really felt, it really feels like I fell into it. It was really a weird, weird origin story that for a long time, I was like, this is not cool, and let's move on. I wanted like the cool, like, yeah, I started in high school and I was sneaking into comedy clubs.

• 5:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, as a tortured artist and going to CBGB's or whatever.

• 5:55Speaker 03

  They were sneaking me shots, you know, like, but I didn't have it like that. I was like performing in churches till I was like 18.

• 6:02H. Foley?

  I like that.

• 6:03Speaker 03

  You do? Okay, good.

• 6:04Speaker 01

  Was it a religious upbringing?

• 6:06Speaker 03

  Very religious upbringing, super sheltered. Yeah. Did you guys grow up religious at all?

• 6:10H. Foley?

  Catholic.

• 6:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, not too crazy, but...

• 6:12Speaker 03

  But like, serious about it, or like, Christmas, we're going?

• 6:15H. Foley?

  The guilt and stuff like that, yeah.

• 6:16Speaker 03

  Yeah. Is that still, is that still in there, the Catholic guilt?

• 6:18H. Foley?

  Lady, I'm a mess.

• 6:19Speaker 03

  You're...

• 6:22Speaker 01

  The numbers and guilt.

• 6:23H. Foley?

  Yeah, me blowing that, I almost jumped out the window.

• 6:26Speaker 03

  I was gonna ask, I was like, I'm so sorry, if I, because I, I beat myself up for literally everything, even if it's nothing. Um, so I do relate on that level, but no, I was just very, very Christian growing up. Yeah. So it also made sense why I was only allowed to perform in churches.

• 6:39Speaker 01

  Makes sense.

• 6:40Speaker 03

  As a kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 6:41H. Foley?

  What'd your mom and dad do?

• 6:43Speaker 03

  My mom, well, my mom died when I was a kid, and then my... That's all right. And then my, uh, dad had a couple different jobs. He was a music teacher when I was really young.

• 6:52H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 6:52Speaker 03

  Um, and then went into like real estate later.

• 6:55Speaker 01

  Was he in the band in the church at all? Did he play?

• 6:58Speaker 03

  Um, no, I don't think he did. I'm not sure. I don't think he did, no. But he was a very good singer and played piano and all that stuff, but I have no, can you guys sing or do anything?

• 7:06Speaker 01

  He's good. He's a talented musician.

• 7:08H. Foley?

  Yeah, a little bit.

• 7:08Speaker 03

  Really? What do you play?

• 7:10H. Foley?

  Guitar.

• 7:11Speaker 03

  Guitar. Oh, that's fucking cool.

• 7:12H. Foley?

  Man, not really. Kind of annoying.

• 7:15Speaker 03

  Do you insist on playing stuff at parties and stuff?

• 7:18H. Foley?

  No, but I'll throw it in their face a little bit.

• 7:20Speaker 03

  You'll go, I could play that if I wanted. But I won't, because I'm not a dad.

• 7:23Speaker 01

  I'll do a thing sometimes, like, is that a G? I think it's a G chord. You're like, all right, I don't know.

• 7:28Speaker 03

  You're like, pretend you don't know like the rest of us. You're not better than us, because you know what the G chord is.

• 7:32Speaker 01

  Exactly.

• 7:33Speaker 03

  No, I wish I was better. I faked my way through eight years of band. I was so bad at it.

• 7:37Speaker 01

  You were in band, what'd you play?

• 7:38Speaker 03

  I played clarinet and then trumpet for a couple of years, and I was terrible at both. I was so bad.

• 7:42Speaker 01

  What a wholesome upbringing.

• 7:44Speaker 03

  Oh, so wholesome. And then wholesome face. It's all real wholesome. It's not cool at all. Were you guys cool? Growing up?

• 7:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 7:52Speaker 03

  You were cool? I like it when people like admit it. I like when people just go, yeah, I was cool.

• 7:56H. Foley?

  It's more of a embarrassing thing, because like I peaked in high school.

• 8:00Speaker 03

  No.

• 8:01H. Foley?

  As far as that.

• 8:01Speaker 03

  You're very successful. You were more successful than this in high school?

• 8:05H. Foley?

  Yeah, I was one of the biggest comics in the world when I was in high school.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  You should've heard my podcast in high school.

• 8:10H. Foley?

  I talk about it all the time.

• 8:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's, uh, you know...

• 8:14H. Foley?

  I'm a loser.

• 8:14Speaker 01

  Jesus Christ.

• 8:16Speaker 03

  You're like, I was playing guitar in the end zone. I was crushing it. Oh, you were?

• 8:21H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 8:21Speaker 03

  See, I knew it. I heard guitar, I heard cool in high school, and I bet you were fucking scoring goals, too.

• 8:26H. Foley?

  Rolled up my jeans.

• 8:28Speaker 03

  Rolled up your jeans? Well, of course, you gotta roll up your jeans. Were you cool?

• 8:31Speaker 01

  I was cool, yeah, enough. I was more of a, you know, the hanging out, smoking cigs, uh, type, type of kid.

• 8:37Speaker 03

  Oh, that's cool.

• 8:37Speaker 01

  Drinking beers early.

• 8:38Speaker 03

  But that is different.

• 8:39Speaker 01

  Little tortured soul, you know what I mean? Dark.

• 8:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:42Speaker 01

  No, not at all. I was, I was a fat kid who was trying to smoke cigarettes. It was not cool.

• 8:47Speaker 03

  I wasn't cool at all. I was in mock trial and banned.

• 8:49H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 8:49Speaker 03

  Fighting for my life. So bad. Not good at it.

• 8:53Speaker 01

  How big was the school you went to? Was it a big school?

• 8:55Speaker 03

  It was pretty big. I think my graduating class in high school was like 800 kids.

• 9:00Speaker 01

  Whoa, that's huge.

• 9:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's big, right? I mean, I heard that somewhere, and I just went, that's gonna be my answer forever. So I hope that's accurate. I have no idea.

• 9:08H. Foley?

  Did you guys have lunch outside, like in Disney shows?

• 9:10Speaker 03

  We had lunch outside, like in Disney shows. Yeah, because California, right?

• 9:13H. Foley?

  I always wanted that.

• 9:14Speaker 03

  I always wanted indoor lunch.

• 9:15H. Foley?

  Really?

• 9:16Speaker 03

  I wanted like a locker and stuff. We didn't have lockers. No, we didn't have lockers.

• 9:20H. Foley?

  Did you have lockers outside, like in Karate Kid?

• 9:22Speaker 03

  I don't think we even had lockers outside. I think we had just...

• 9:25H. Foley?

  Kids don't lockers?

• 9:26Speaker 03

  No.

• 9:26H. Foley?

  The walls must've been a mess.

• 9:27Speaker 03

  I don't think we had lockers. Did we have lockers in high school? No, there were no lockers.

• 9:31Speaker 01

  Wait, you guys graduated together?

• 9:32Speaker 03

  This is my sibling. This is my younger sibling.

• 9:34Speaker 01

  What?

• 9:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:35H. Foley?

  That was my next question.

• 9:36Speaker 03

  No, I'm so sorry. I got ahead of you. Yeah, I have three younger siblings.

• 9:38H. Foley?

  No, no, it was great.

• 9:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, I have three younger siblings.

• 9:40H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 9:41Speaker 03

  I was just a four. What about you guys? What do you got?

• 9:42Speaker 01

  Uh...

• 9:44H. Foley?

  Turn the tables.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  I'm so sorry. Are people not usually like this?

• 9:47Speaker 01

  No, no, it's okay.

• 9:48H. Foley?

  You're fantastic.

• 9:49Speaker 03

  I'm matching the energy. I'm so sorry. You guys have such good like energy. This is like old-school radio.

• 9:54H. Foley?

  I've been blowing it since you got in here.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  No, no, you haven't. This is like good, like the, the, the speed at which you guys gave the intros, I was like, I sat up fucking straight.

• 10:03Speaker 01

  Sure, the, hey, everybody will lock you.

• 10:05Speaker 03

  What's up? And then you just went so fucking fast. I was like, man, nobody's professional like this anymore.

• 10:10Speaker 01

  We're still, we're old-school, baby.

• 10:12Speaker 03

  It's impressive. It really is.

• 10:13H. Foley?

  That's really my only good contribution to the show. I got the intro done, and I want you to...

• 10:18Speaker 03

  How many sips do you have, though?

• 10:19H. Foley?

  I'm the youngest of two Irish twins. My brother is 18 months older than me.

• 10:23Speaker 03

  Whoa, you guys close?

• 10:24H. Foley?

  Yeah, very close, very different. He's organized, sharp.

• 10:29Speaker 03

  But how big's his podcast? Does he even have one?

• 10:31H. Foley?

  He worked on Wall Street, did well.

• 10:33Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, yeah, fair enough, fair enough.

• 10:34H. Foley?

  Family, all that stuff, yeah. No matter what I do, I'll still be there.

• 10:40Speaker 03

  What about you?

• 10:41Speaker 01

  Uh, I got two older, I got an older brother and an older sister than two half young, significantly younger brothers.

• 10:47Speaker 03

  So you're middle?

• 10:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, but not at all from, I was the youngest and then two got added on.

• 10:52H. Foley?

  Broken home.

• 10:52Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 10:54H. Foley?

  The younger ones are stepkids.

• 10:56Speaker 01

  No, they're my half brothers. They're my half brothers and they're significantly younger, like sixteen and ten years younger.

• 11:02Speaker 03

  But you grew up as youngest?

• 11:03Speaker 01

  I, and, yeah.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  So two youngest?

• 11:05Speaker 01

  For ten years.

• 11:06H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 11:06Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:07H. Foley?

  Which is usually the thing, right?

• 11:09Speaker 03

  For comics?

• 11:10H. Foley?

  Where, yeah.

• 11:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think so too. Oldest, I can't believe I need more attention than I got.

• 11:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's true.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  Maggie maybe didn't get the right attention.

• 11:17H. Foley?

  That also goes with, you know, how you are. Like, you know, in my mind, you're like focused and, you know, professional about things. That makes sense that you'd be older.

• 11:24Speaker 03

  That's true. Thank you for saying that.

• 11:25H. Foley?

  A very combo.

• 11:26Speaker 03

  I hope people meet me and they go, she's the oldest. And, and they know that and it's not derogatory, because it also can be, like,

• 11:33H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 11:33Speaker 03

  You know, being the oldest daughter, you are just like kind of baseline annoying. And that's not my fault. That's on God, okay?

• 11:39Speaker 01

  That sounds like she came up with that.

• 11:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's not my fault.

• 11:42H. Foley?

  What did you guys live in growing up? Like, did your dad bounce around, but did you guys do well? Did he do all right?

• 11:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think so.

• 11:49H. Foley?

  He said he got into real estate.

• 11:49Speaker 03

  We were like in the, we were like in the suburbs. I mean, when I was really young, uh, we really didn't have money. I think we were, I think we were pretty poor when we were kids. Like, we had, you know, one parent working, they were a teacher, music teacher, and then like my mom was in the hospital for a couple of years, like, so that's not, sorry, this is,

• 12:07H. Foley?

  No, this is great.

• 12:08Speaker 03

  It's hard to talk about like serious stuff when you guys have the upbeat energy, because then you come in, you're like, oh, I'm gonna bring down the fucking vibe.

• 12:16Speaker 01

  No, no, not at all.

• 12:17Speaker 03

  We were up here so like, hey, what's up everybody? And then you're like, and my mom.

• 12:20Speaker 01

  Ah, yeah, no, it's obviously not that. No, this is all.

• 12:24Speaker 03

  So she died. What was that like?

• 12:26H. Foley?

  Because one of the reasons I asked that is when you said music teacher then got into real estate, it's perfect for the show, maybe humble beginnings and he hit real estate, started doing well.

• 12:34Speaker 03

  I think so. I think, well, then I had, my dad got remarried and then the two of them started working together. And,

• 12:40H. Foley?

  In real estate?

• 12:40Speaker 03

  In real estate, yeah. And so my, my stepmom's was like, I think my stepmom was a huge, uh, example to me of like work ethic and like,

• 12:50Speaker 01

  Really?

• 12:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, she was like a real, a real, uh, like love to work, was good at it. Like, just, I, like truly, in so many ways, and I don't mean this in a negative way, like just very different from my mom growing up, because my, my mom growing up was like a stay-at-home mom. And so then my stepmom was this like career woman.

• 13:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 13:11Speaker 03

  And now I'm like a career woman. So I think I've needed, uh, to, I, I don't know that I would have known that I could,

• 13:19Speaker 01

  That was possible.

• 13:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't think, I don't know that I would have had that as readily available as an option. I think I maybe would have, but I don't know, maybe my personal life would have been more, uh, successful if I was more focused on getting married and having kids. I don't really know. It's so strange. Don't you kind of think about that sometimes?

• 13:36H. Foley?

  That's not a social life.

• 13:38Speaker 03

  Is that, what, what do you mean?

• 13:39H. Foley?

  Getting married and having kids.

• 13:40Speaker 03

  I mean, depend, I don't know, you come home to people.

• 13:42H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 13:43Speaker 03

  That's social. I think so.

• 13:44H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 13:45Speaker 01

  Talking to people, that's pretty social.

• 13:47Speaker 03

  I think so. I mean, it's, it's a totally different thing. I mean, like my buddy, Dustin Nickerson, who's on the road with me a lot, he has like three kids and a beautiful wife and he's like, when he's on the road, it's like great, but when he's home, he's home. And it's like, he's got two jobs. Like, he like just clocks into his other job.

• 14:04H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 14:05Speaker 03

  Which is like dad and husband, and then goes to comedian job. And sometimes I'm like, man, I wish I, I wish I could go clock into that job, because it seems very grounding. Like, I think he's like a really good guy and like a really good person and like has a lot of perspective about show business and like what's important and feels like a very grounded individual. And I think like being married for so long and like having kids and like, I think it helps you have like your priorities straight in a way that maybe I, I don't have that, you know?

• 14:34H. Foley?

  He just had a baby. Like, he's always been, you know, put together and organized.

• 14:38Speaker 01

  Fifteen months ago, yeah.

• 14:39Speaker 03

  Fifteen months.

• 14:40H. Foley?

  But you can see the difference.

• 14:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like, I, it's, um, you know, obviously wrestling with it at the moment, but, uh, what you're saying is,

• 14:45Speaker 03

  You're wrestling with the baby?

• 14:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's pretty big. Uh, same weight class. This is his jacket. Uh, I, uh, no, it, it switches where you just go like, I try to think, I go, I used to have to fit all other aspects of my life into comedy, if that makes sense. Social, family, you're like, comedy is the 100%. If you can fit the other stuff into where the gaps are, then,

• 15:07H. Foley?

  Which wasn't much. It was beers and cigarettes.

• 15:08Speaker 01

  Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, but I'm just saying, like, all of your time is spent to, you know, hey, I can't make the wedding. I have whatever. It was all very, now it's the other way around. It's like, how does comedy fit into my other, like, my real life?

• 15:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's what I'm saying.

• 15:24H. Foley?

  He's, he runs, you know, he's the brains behind the operation as far as like business stuff goes, so he's always been smarter.

• 15:30Speaker 01

  I have the checkbook, if that's, that's what he means.

• 15:32H. Foley?

  Yeah, I'm an idiot. Um, but even when the baby, when he had the baby, he, the way he focused and stepped into it is, is cool.

• 15:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, did you feel something shift inside you where you're like, I'm a different person now?

• 15:44Speaker 01

  Not like right away, but yeah, slowly. You just go like, oh, if this stuff, you know, you don't want to say it stops, it stops being the most important thing. You know, that perspective changes of like, you know.

• 15:55Speaker 03

  So like a weekend, you're like, no, the baby's with us all the time? It's gonna be like this all the time?

• 15:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, that is, that, that sets him.

• 16:00Speaker 03

  I guess I'll lock in.

• 16:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, I guess I gotta do this.

• 16:02H. Foley?

  He started like making decisions, like where he was like voluntarily doing things that are right for them. Does that make sense?

• 16:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're not number one anymore.

• 16:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'm no longer, and also, yeah, I'm no longer the most important person in my life.

• 16:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:18H. Foley?

  I couldn't wrap my head around that.

• 16:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's still, still, I don't know if you're, I don't know if you're clocking the vibe. He's still gonna bother my, um, yeah, so it's, uh, yeah, it's that. It's, you know, but it is, you know, difficult balancing both of, of things, you know what I mean?

• 16:33H. Foley?

  But the real estate, I think, lends to comedy, because it's like, as a real estate agent, you can start your own thing and, you know what I mean? It's self-contained?

• 16:41Speaker 03

  I should have gone into real estate. I should have gone into real estate. I hear you. No, I should have done that.

• 16:44H. Foley?

  It's a good model for, you know, especially the way you've, you've done it.

• 16:49Speaker 03

  Well, it's a lot of, it's, you know, it's like salesmanship, right?

• 16:51Speaker 01

  It's all self-motivation. It's like you get what, you get out what you put in.

• 16:54Speaker 03

  Yes, you have to generate your own work, your own connections, all that. It's like very similar.

• 16:59H. Foley?

  So she was killing it in your guys' town?

• 17:01Speaker 03

  Killing it, killing it.

• 17:02H. Foley?

  Like the local real estate, she would have to sign all that stuff?

• 17:04Speaker 03

  Different town, we moved to where she lived. Yeah, but she's, uh, yeah, she's a very, very, uh, impressive lady.

• 17:10H. Foley?

  Shout out to it.

• 17:10Speaker 01

  Very nice. What, uh, what was your first car growing up?

• 17:13Speaker 03

  My first car was like a white Oldsmobile.

• 17:17Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 17:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, it was like, it had a really comfy gray bench seat in the front.

• 17:23Speaker 01

  That's an old person's car.

• 17:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, it was an old person's car.

• 17:24H. Foley?

  Where'd you get it? Was it a hand-me-down from the family?

• 17:26Speaker 03

  No, it was like they bought it like used so I could drive like me and my sibling to school in the morning. And I was like too scared to take it on the freeway. So, you know, just terrified. And I should have been. I wasn't a good driver, so.

• 17:38Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 17:39Speaker 03

  But yeah, that was my first car. So like, at the time, I was like, this is embarrassing. And in hindsight, I was like, that was cool.

• 17:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, I had the same thing, yeah.

• 17:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, right?

• 17:46Speaker 01

  A big old white car, old person's car, and I was embarrassed by it. And now looking back, I'm like, I fucking love that thing.

• 17:51Speaker 03

  The license plate, uh, frame or whatever I had on the back of it, it said I'd rather be quilting.

• 17:58Speaker 03

  And I didn't take it off, because I didn't,

• 17:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, of course.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  I was like, we're gonna leave that.

• 18:01H. Foley?

  And this is what, 2011 roughly?

• 18:03Speaker 03

  This was like 2010, yeah.

• 18:05H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 18:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, sorry.

• 18:07H. Foley?

  I like it. Old school.

• 18:09Speaker 01

  Getting closer with the years though, big guy.

• 18:10H. Foley?

  Yeah, I was working on it.

• 18:12Speaker 01

  He's like, ah, 2010, 2011, 2012.

• 18:14Speaker 03

  It's so funny. Well, I mean, I've always been like the youngest for most of my career, being like, you know, in my teens and twenties. And like now, I'm in my thirties. And now people are like, oh, you're like a person now. Like, we can talk to you.

• 18:24Speaker 01

  Sure. Yeah, yeah, you grew up in the, in the business essentially.

• 18:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it is, it is fun to like feel, feel that, um, feeling come up for me when I meet younger people now where I'm like 24. Like, it like physically hurts a little bit. And that's just started happening for me in the last few years. And it's, uh, wow, didn't expect it. But I'm like, oh, I understand what everyone was talking about now, when I did all those morning radio shows in my twenties, where I was like, I'm doing five shows this weekend at the Portland Helium. And they were like,

• 18:54H. Foley?

  Pretty cool.

• 18:54Speaker 03

  When are you going to bed? Like, they were just like, you're a child.

• 18:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 18:59H. Foley?

  Pretty cool.

• 18:59Speaker 01

  That's crazy.

• 19:01H. Foley?

  Kimmy, let's talk about Brunt.

• 19:02Speaker 01

  Brunt Workwear, baby.

• 19:03H. Foley?

  Gang, let me start with the wildest part of Brunt Workwear. We're talking about, they actually let you wear the boots out on a job site before you buy them. Who does that? You don't like them? For you fun.

• 19:13Speaker 01

  Yes, that's not, you're like, listen, everybody's tried on shoes where you're walking around a Payless or something, putting your feet in the little slanted mirror. You can't tell. You need real days on the ground. Get in the mud, work them out, dog. Uh, listen, season's coming up. I need a fresh pair of boots. I'm go, I did Brunt last year. I'm going Brunt again, baby. I'm a Marin guy, the Marin. That's, that's the, uh, the model.

• 19:37H. Foley?

  The Omen.

• 19:37Speaker 01

  Uh, they're comfortable right outside the box, which is good for me, because I don't do any manual labor. So I look the part and feel comfy cozy, you know what I mean?

• 19:46H. Foley?

  Uh-huh. Forman jacket, I like it.

• 19:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't, I, I'm a real, I, I give Forman vibes, you know what I mean?

• 19:53H. Foley?

  Pencil in there?

• 19:53Speaker 01

  Uh, yeah, exactly. Something in here, sharpening my pencil with a knife, really looking the part. They are no doubt the most comfortable boots you're ever gonna wear. They're the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. They felt comfortable right out of the box. There's no painful break-in process like other brands. Uh, and whether you need waterproof, safety toe, soft toe, pull-on or lace-up, they got options. Whatever you need for your, uh, job site. Brunt was tired of the workwear brands out there cutting corners. You work too hard to be stuck in uncomfortable boots that don't hold up. So they're built, they've built something better. Boots are insanely comfortable and built for any job site. For a limited time, our listeners get $10 off at Brunt when you use the code GARBAGE at checkout.

• 22:03H. Foley?

  Uh, what was your first job?

• 22:05Speaker 03

  First job, I worked at a pizza place.

• 22:07H. Foley?

  Nice.

• 22:07Speaker 03

  Worked at a pizza place and uh

• 22:09Speaker 01

  Was it good pizza?

• 22:10Speaker 03

  I don't know, I'm lactose intolerant.

• 22:12H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 22:12Speaker 03

  I don't remember. I, I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you. Um, but yeah, I did that and then I worked, uh

• 22:19H. Foley?

  Did you make the pizza?

• 22:20Speaker 03

  I didn't make the pizza. I just did cashier.

• 22:22Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, just a cashier. And then I worked at like a soup plantation and then I worked at a

• 22:30H. Foley?

  Soup plantation?

• 22:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, in a waxing salon. I was just a cashier at a bunch of different places.

• 22:33H. Foley?

  Soup plantation? You said that like we were gonna know what it was.

• 22:35Speaker 03

  No, I guess it's

• 22:36Speaker 01

  Is that a chain?

• 22:37Speaker 03

  It was a chain. It's gone now, but it was, or like sweet tomatoes is what they, they called it, sweet tomato. I don't know why I thought you'd know that one. Uh, but it's, it was like a chain in Southern California and uh

• 22:49H. Foley?

  Soup? A soup chain?

• 22:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, soup and salad. It's like soup and salad. It's supposed to be like a healthy buffet.

• 22:53Speaker 01

  Gotcha, gotcha.

• 22:53Speaker 03

  Situation, yeah.

• 22:55H. Foley?

  Huh, it's a soup.

• 22:56Speaker 03

  It's pretty good, honestly. We still think I'm

• 22:58H. Foley?

  Compared to like, um, what's the, what's the bread place?

• 23:00Speaker 01

  Panera.

• 23:01Speaker 03

  Oh, better than Panera, right?

• 23:03H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 23:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, better than Panera.

• 23:04Speaker 01

  Love to hear that.

• 23:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think so, right?

• 23:07H. Foley?

  I don't know, I never had

• 23:07Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 23:10Speaker 03

  But I mean, I assume, did you guys work in food service when you were younger?

• 23:12H. Foley?

  Yeah, I waited tables. I didn't start comics until I was 32, so I was waiting

• 23:15Speaker 03

  Really?

• 23:15H. Foley?

  Yeah, I was waiting tables in my mid 40s.

• 23:18Speaker 03

  Wow, what made you start at 32? Did you want to before that or was it like, did you think about it for a long time or not?

• 23:25H. Foley?

  It's gonna be a sad answer.

• 23:25Speaker 03

  Oh no. Sorry, we don't

• 23:27H. Foley?

  I was, I

• 23:28Speaker 03

  What happened?

• 23:30Speaker 01

  What happened, loser? Did you crash out again?

• 23:34H. Foley?

  I couldn't play quarterback anymore. Um, I had come up here from Philly to be an actor. I went to theater school.

• 23:40Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 23:41H. Foley?

  And just came up here and did drugs and didn't actually pursue anything.

• 23:44Speaker 03

  Gotcha.

• 23:45H. Foley?

  I didn't have those how to accomplish

• 23:47Speaker 01

  He didn't have a stepmom in real estate.

• 23:49H. Foley?

  That I admire of you, especially at a young age. I was an idiot and then at some point I bottomed out here and moved down to Philly in 2008 and told myself I wanted to start acting or try to actually act and getting in front of people would be good.

• 24:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:04H. Foley?

  Which didn't even make any sense.

• 24:05Speaker 03

  No, I think it does.

• 24:06H. Foley?

  I went to an open mic and we all met all the other Philly comics and yeah, that was it.

• 24:11Speaker 03

  That's cool.

• 24:11H. Foley?

  No other option really.

• 24:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:12H. Foley?

  Plus, it gave me time in my 30s to live like a dirtbag and have an excuse for it, if that makes sense.

• 24:17Speaker 03

  No, it does make sense.

• 24:18H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 24:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, it does make sense.

• 24:20H. Foley?

  Yeah, I use it as an excuse a lot.

• 24:22Speaker 03

  I can't do that because I'm a female comic, but if I were a male comic, oh my God, I'd be a dirtbag for a while. That seems great.

• 24:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, different, different, unfortunately, different standard, yes.

• 24:31Speaker 03

  Yeah, not an option for me, but looks awesome.

• 24:34Speaker 01

  It seems fun, yeah.

• 24:35Speaker 03

  Seems fun.

• 24:36Speaker 01

  Uh, growing up at any point, could have been a local celebrity. Who was the most famous person you met?

• 24:42Speaker 03

  Growing up?

• 24:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:43Speaker 03

  Nobody.

• 24:43Speaker 01

  Nobody.

• 24:44Speaker 03

  There was nobody. No.

• 24:45H. Foley?

  Not like a local baseball player?

• 24:47Speaker 01

  Radio guy, anything? No.

• 24:48Speaker 03

  Nothing.

• 24:49Speaker 01

  Really?

• 24:49Speaker 03

  I, I mean, I hope I'm not forgetting anybody, but I, I wouldn't even, I went to Google. I was like, I don't even know what I could Google. I don't even know.

• 24:57Speaker 01

  Who that would be.

• 24:57Speaker 03

  I don't even know who that would be. Uh, apparently Olivia Rodrigo lived in Temecula for a minute as well, I think. But I don't know when that was. It wasn't when I lived there, but like, that's the only other person that I can think of that grew up in Temecula. And I mean, like Modesto, like George Lucas is from Modesto, but like people that I was there at the same time.

• 25:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:18Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 25:19Speaker 01

  It could even, it could have been, yeah, okay.

• 25:21Speaker 03

  I could

• 25:21Speaker 01

  A lot of times you get people like, it'd be like, oh, I met, uh, yeah, a baseball player at a car dealership.

• 25:27H. Foley?

  Yeah, Philly Mike Schmidt or something like that.

• 25:28Speaker 03

  We didn't have any of that. It's so interesting because Temecula, I don't talk about Temecula that much, but it's where I was like from like 10 to 18. And uh, it's interesting because it's like an hour from San Diego and it's like two hours from LA. So it's like, pretty close to like much better places.

• 25:41Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 25:42H. Foley?

  Right.

• 25:42Speaker 03

  But like, there's a lot of, you know, freeway between, you know?

• 25:47H. Foley?

  It's a zone island.

• 25:48Speaker 01

  My, and you know, I only ever heard it in movies and TV shows. It's like out there and to, yeah, like out in Temecula, y'all, you'll end up in Temecula.

• 25:56Speaker 03

  It's never where the season finale is.

• 25:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 25:59H. Foley?

  That and Bakersfield. Bakersfield

• 26:00Speaker 03

  Bakersfield is a big, yeah.

• 26:01Speaker 01

  Modesto too as well.

• 26:03Speaker 03

  Fresno, yeah.

• 26:04Speaker 01

  The fringe cities that get named in dialogue in like cop shows.

• 26:07Speaker 03

  That's where I grew up. Yeah, and cop shows is exactly right. Yeah.

• 26:11Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 26:11Speaker 03

  It's where they find like, you know, clues and bodies and things. They're like, this is part of the mystery.

• 26:16Speaker 01

  Down in Fresno or whatever, yeah.

• 26:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 26:19Speaker 01

  What was, uh, what was a family vacation like growing up?

• 26:22Speaker 03

  We didn't really go on a lot of family vacations. I think the only really, the only thing that would really count as a family vacation is like, we'd go to Disneyland because it was close.

• 26:33Speaker 01

  Close.

• 26:33Speaker 03

  But then you don't have to stay overnight or anything.

• 26:36H. Foley?

  You go and just drive home.

• 26:36Speaker 01

  Day trip.

• 26:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, you just go and drive home because it's like an hour away.

• 26:39H. Foley?

  That was it? You guys never went anywhere?

• 26:41Speaker 03

  We, we stayed overnight at Disneyland right after my mom died because hospice gave us free tickets. Isn't that rough?

• 26:47Speaker 01

  Damn dude.

• 26:48Speaker 03

  That's the last time I stayed at the Disneyland hotel.

• 26:50H. Foley?

  Holy shit.

• 26:51Speaker 03

  They were like, we are so sorry about this. I guess someone had donated them to hospice or something and they were like, if you guys want to go. And we're like, doesn't feel like the time, but okay.

• 26:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, so it's an odd, that's an odd place to celebrate, you know what I mean?

• 27:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, it is. It was interesting. And I think it was maybe we were like going back to school. So I think we like had to go that week or something. It was, it was a quick, it's a quick turnaround. There's some whiplash there for sure. Uh, but we were all little, you know, I was eight and my younger siblings were even younger than that. So, but it's sad that that's the thing that comes to mind when I go, where did we go on vacation? But no, we didn't really go on like vacations. So I may, we may, we probably weren't super well off.

• 27:27H. Foley?

  When'd you first get your passport?

• 27:29Speaker 03

  When I was an adult. I got my passport

• 27:33Speaker 03

  probably when I, no, that's, yeah, when I was an adult. I think I went

• 27:39Speaker 01

  For work probably, for comedy.

• 27:40Speaker 03

  Probably.

• 27:41Speaker 01

  JFL or something?

• 27:42Speaker 03

  Yeah. Oh, it probably was for JFL. Yeah. It was, it was between like 21 and 23 for sure.

• 27:48H. Foley?

  When was the first time you had Nutella?

• 27:51Speaker 03

  Oh my God, I think as an adult.

• 27:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, same.

• 27:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, right?

• 27:55Speaker 01

  I thought it got invented when I was like 30. I thought it got invented when I was 33, yeah.

• 27:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, I thought it was like 10 years ago. I didn't know Nutella was like around for so long.

• 28:02H. Foley?

  Now we're getting there. It's starting to fall apart. I like this.

• 28:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 28:06H. Foley?

  Passport when you're adult, the tell when you're adult?

• 28:08Speaker 03

  Yeah. Is Nutella like the mark of someone who had it good as a child?

• 28:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 28:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:13Speaker 01

  He grew up with Nutella.

• 28:14Speaker 03

  You did?

• 28:15Speaker 01

  This is, he grew up Connecticut.

• 28:17Speaker 03

  You seem like you did. Now can you imagine? I'm like, you fucking seem like it.

• 28:20Speaker 01

  You rich.

• 28:21H. Foley?

  I got my passport and had Nutella at 45.

• 28:24Speaker 03

  Whoa, okay.

• 28:26Speaker 01

  Things are going well.

• 28:27H. Foley?

  Good to know.

• 28:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 28:28H. Foley?

  What were the posters on the wall as a kid, like in high school?

• 28:31Speaker 03

  Oh, this is gonna be so sad. I had like inspirational quotes. I remember I got a book of like inspirational quote, like every, one of those, it's like a, each one's like a postcard and they're just inspira-, you both did the same thing where you put, you put your hand over your mouth. No, it was so

• 28:48H. Foley?

  Like Live, Laugh, Love or deeper than that?

• 28:50Speaker 03

  Not far off, not far off from Live, Laugh, Love. It wasn't Live, Laugh, Love. It was actual quotes. I could not tell you one of them, but it was probably just like, you know, if you're scared, keep going. Like it was probably shit like that. It was probably just shy of a Bible verse, to be honest with you. And those were all over the walls and then like, maybe when I was younger, like maybe Harry Potter. But like, not very long because then my dad was like, that's the devil. So you can't have that anymore. Yeah, yeah.

• 29:16H. Foley?

  Magic. Did you read any of those books?

• 29:17Speaker 03

  I did. I read them for like a year, a year or two and like probably got me through like my mom's death, honestly. And then my dad was like, this is, this is satanic. We can't have this in the house.

• 29:27H. Foley?

  How old were you when you read that?

• 29:28Speaker 03

  I was nine. So from like nine to 12 maybe I had a Harry Potter and then it was like, that's out.

• 29:35H. Foley?

  I had younger cousins that were around that age. Like when those books hit.

• 29:38Speaker 03

  Age.

• 29:39H. Foley?

  Yeah, when those books hit, they were doing the same thing. And I used to look at that. You said you were nine years old?

• 29:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:46H. Foley?

  That books, those books are like that thick.

• 29:48Speaker 03

  Right.

• 29:49H. Foley?

  I couldn't wrap my head around anybody reading that much.

• 29:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, and this is before we knew J.K. Rowling was a terrible person. So that's

• 29:54Speaker 01

  I haven't heard.

• 29:55Speaker 03

  Back in the day, yeah, but now you can enjoy it, so it sucks. She ruined it.

• 29:59Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 30:00H. Foley?

  Jargon, I like it.

• 30:01Speaker 01

  Hmm, what, uh, who was doing the cooking? Was your stepmom a good cook? Your dad, who's cooking around the house?

• 30:07Speaker 03

  We had like babysitters. So like my, my dad could like grill and then

• 30:13Speaker 01

  He really stopped there. He's like, he could grill?

• 30:15Speaker 03

  He could grill and then I think there was like more assembling than cooking, which is how I live my life now. It's like I can make ingredients and then I, I combine them and they're pretty simple. You know, like it's, there wasn't like, oh, here's a recipe.

• 30:29Speaker 01

  It'd be like, here's grilled chicken and mashed potatoes or something.

• 30:32Speaker 03

  It was like, this is dinner and it's four cans and a bag of salad and like a loaf of bread. You know, it's like that kind of thing.

• 30:40H. Foley?

  Sounds pretty good.

• 30:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's like, it's, it was everything from like the grocery store that you just have to like heat things up.

• 30:47Speaker 01

  Open up, get together, pour in a bowl, whatever.

• 30:49Speaker 03

  Mix it up, but it wasn't like, and get the paprika. Like it wasn't like that.

• 30:53H. Foley?

  Was there like a family dish, like a buffalo chicken dip or anything like that?

• 30:56Speaker 03

  No.

• 30:57H. Foley?

  Man.

• 30:58Speaker 03

  We have no, there's no

• 30:59H. Foley?

  You are hardcore.

• 31:00Speaker 03

  There's no family dish. Did you guys have a family dish?

• 31:02H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 31:03Speaker 03

  Really?

• 31:04H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 31:04Speaker 03

  I didn't have anything. I have no, I wish I had. I think I put that in the book. I wish I was someone with like a signature dish. Cause I got nothing. I remember like my grandma made really good potato salad.

• 31:14H. Foley?

  All right, there you go.

• 31:15Speaker 03

  And that was like her thing.

• 31:16Speaker 01

  That's good.

• 31:16Speaker 03

  And then my, but like, my other grandma, she, she claims she cannot cook, but she has a few things she makes that we're all like, make that, like make, make the, the, the chocolate cake you make. And she's like, you guys could do this. And we're like, no, we can't. We've tried. But I don't have anything like that. And I don't think my parents had anything like that either. But again, they were busy. They were working, you know?

• 31:39H. Foley?

  So you were very, what is it? Self-sustaining? What's it called?

• 31:41Speaker 01

  Self-sufficient.

• 31:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. I think so. I think so, yeah.

• 31:44H. Foley?

  Gotcha.

• 31:45Speaker 03

  But also, you know, we had babysitters and stuff that would usually like kind of throw stuff together. I mean, there was like, there were meal, there were meal plans. But yeah, it wasn't a lot of like, oh, and we're gonna

• 31:54Speaker 01

  Here, I've been cooking with my heart and soul all day.

• 31:57Speaker 03

  No, no, no. It's like, it takes, it takes 15 minutes.

• 32:00Speaker 01

  Gotcha.

• 32:01Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 32:01H. Foley?

  Would you guys have dinner together as a family?

• 32:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, we had dinner together as a family.

• 32:06H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 32:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 32:07H. Foley?

  Grace, I assume before dinner?

• 32:08Speaker 03

  Grace every time.

• 32:09H. Foley?

  Wow.

• 32:10Speaker 03

  Every time, Grace. Yeah.

• 32:12H. Foley?

  I like it.

• 32:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, you weren't doing Grace?

• 32:14H. Foley?

  We would do it a little bit.

• 32:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:16H. Foley?

  Yeah, but not, it sounds like you guys are structured.

• 32:19Speaker 03

  Eyes open.

• 32:20H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 32:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:21H. Foley?

  In a bad Catholic kind of way.

• 32:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:23H. Foley?

  Yeah, something like that.

• 32:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, we were eyes closed, bow down.

• 32:25H. Foley?

  Damn.

• 32:25Speaker 01

  I feel we'd only do it when everybody was there, I feel. Like if it was like me, my mom and my stepdad, we weren't saying grace. But if it was like, if the five of us were together.

• 32:34Speaker 03

  Well, you don't wanna, you don't wanna pray behind anyone's back.

• 32:37Speaker 01

  Exactly. You can't, you know, you can't half ass it. It's all or nothing.

• 32:39H. Foley?

  What was Christmas like? Lights on the tree?

• 32:42Speaker 03

  Lights on the tree, going to church.

• 32:44H. Foley?

  Or white?

• 32:45Speaker 03

  Oh gosh. That is a great question. I think-

• 32:49Speaker 01

  There is an answer. There is a trashy answer.

• 32:51Speaker 03

  When I was a kid, they were colored and when I got older, they were white.

• 32:54Speaker 01

  Okay, that's when the real estate started.

• 32:56H. Foley?

  All that matters.

• 32:56Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, it's different. Yeah.

• 32:58Speaker 01

  It is. That's a different tax.

• 33:00Speaker 03

  Is colored is trashy, right?

• 33:02Speaker 01

  Is the trashier version.

• 33:03H. Foley?

  How about the outside of the house? Anything out there?

• 33:05Speaker 03

  No, nothing on the outside of the house.

• 33:06Speaker 01

  Really?

• 33:06Speaker 03

  And you know what's funny? As an adult, at Christmas, I put up two trees because I'm alone and I fucking deserve it. And I put the, the white light tree in the living room. That's like the display tree.

• 33:20Speaker 01

  The nice, the nice room you don't go in?

• 33:22Speaker 03

  No, no, my living room that like people are gonna see. And then I put a smaller one with colorful lights and bulbs in my bedroom.

• 33:28Speaker 01

  That's fun.

• 33:29Speaker 03

  Because that's who I am.

• 33:30Speaker 01

  I like that. I kinda like that. She's gotta keep up appearances for the people coming over.

• 33:35Speaker 03

  It's bigger in the front room and I go, okay, this all works with the color scheme. It's like greens and golds and silvers and it matches all the decor.

• 33:43Speaker 01

  But this is who I truly am.

• 33:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, then you get into my room and you're like, oh my god.

• 33:47H. Foley?

  Is there a real tree in your bedroom?

• 33:48Speaker 03

  Of course not. No, fires. Fires. Fires.

• 33:52H. Foley?

  Alright.

• 33:53Speaker 03

  LA is on fire like every year.

• 33:54Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 33:55Speaker 03

  I'm not doing that.

• 33:55Speaker 01

  I don't wanna be the guy to do it either. That would be bad.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  No, of course not. No.

• 33:59H. Foley?

  A Christmas tree in your bedroom.

• 34:01Speaker 03

  Can you imagine if they're like, we traced it and it was someone who just got a little too excited for Christmas?

• 34:06Speaker 01

  Yeah, his second Christmas tree.

• 34:07Speaker 03

  Oh my god, I'd be canceled so hard if I started the LA fires with a second Christmas tree.

• 34:11Speaker 01

  How much is enough, Tom? You know what I mean?

• 34:13Speaker 03

  Oh my god, that'd be the end of it.

• 34:15Speaker 01

  She's got money for two Christmas trees?

• 34:16H. Foley?

  The colored lights on a Christmas tree in a bedroom's gotta be cozy though. That's gotta be good.

• 34:21Speaker 03

  Oh my god, it's so good. It's so good. And I love like the colorful lights like wrapped around the bookcase and stuff.

• 34:27H. Foley?

  Alright.

• 34:28Speaker 03

  I'm so excited for Christmas. I'm so excited for Christmas.

• 34:31H. Foley?

  Huh. What was the first concert you went to?

• 34:34Speaker 03

  Oh my god, not till I was an adult. I never went to a concert. I was so sheltered. I really was. I think the first concert I went to, I saw The Killers in Las Vegas.

• 34:43Speaker 01

  That's a good one.

• 34:44Speaker 03

  As an adult. Is it? Thank god. I was like-

• 34:48H. Foley?

  Did you pay for the tickets?

• 34:49Speaker 03

  Nineteen or twenty maybe? Yeah, I paid for the tickets. Yeah, yeah. I went with a friend of mine. And I wanna say they were like, opening a certain venue or something. It was like the first concert at a venue, but my friend Victoria and I were both really like The Killers and so we saw The Killers in Vegas.

• 35:02H. Foley?

  Man.

• 35:02Speaker 03

  And yeah. I didn't go to a lot of concerts.

• 35:05H. Foley?

  What was the social life like as a teenager?

• 35:07Speaker 03

  All my friends were in band. All my friends were in band. Yeah, all my friends were in band. And then like, a lot of summers, if I was grounded, I wouldn't see any of my friends.

• 35:16Speaker 01

  Why should you be grounded?

• 35:17Speaker 03

  If I didn't get straight A's, I was grounded all summer.

• 35:19H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 35:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 35:20Speaker 01

  Your dad's a bit of a hard ass.

• 35:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, one summer I got grounded and there wasn't much to take from me. So I remember one summer, he grounded me. He goes, you can't, not only can you not see your friends, can't use the phone, whatever. I'm gonna put all your books in storage.

• 35:33H. Foley?

  For the summer?

• 35:34Speaker 03

  For the summer.

• 35:34H. Foley?

  Man, your dad would've hated me.

• 35:35Speaker 03

  I was a loser.

• 35:36Speaker 01

  Geez.

• 35:37Speaker 03

  When you're getting grounded from your own books, that's, you are not cool.

• 35:41Speaker 01

  All for straight A's?

• 35:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, if I got, if I got Bs.

• 35:44Speaker 01

  If you got, like, what was, alright, let's say if you came back with a B. Was it like, debatable? You're like, I saw, like, was there circumstantial?

• 35:52Speaker 03

  If it was a B in an AP class, it was okay because that counted as an A. It would like up your GPA.

• 35:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 35:59Speaker 03

  But, so that was okay. But if you got a B in a regular class, not cool.

• 36:02Speaker 01

  What AP classes were you in?

• 36:04Speaker 03

  I was in AP European History. I was in AP US History. I was in, uh, AP English for sure. And then I might've done like AP, did I do like AP Chem? No, there's no way.

• 36:16H. Foley?

  Were you straight A's too?

• 36:18Speaker 03

  No, second kid. I've had to do AP Statistics, but I didn't pass the test that you got for college credit. But like, I got a B in the class. It was one of those things where it was like, you're not gonna get the college credit, but you will get a fine grade. The class was easy, like, as far as getting the grade. Yeah, but it was, I was so bad at math and science. It was like, not good at all. But like, history and-

• 36:42H. Foley?

  You were good. Two with a grade. I was bad at it.

• 36:45Speaker 03

  At math?

• 36:46H. Foley?

  You were just a good student, so you considered yourself bad.

• 36:48Speaker 03

  I think you can be a good student and get by in subjects that you are bad at. You know what I mean?

• 36:54Speaker 01

  You can work really hard.

• 36:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, you can like know how to study and like, take a test. And I think I knew how to do those things. But I was like, if you asked me to do math and explain how I did it, I'd be like, I don't know, fuck, I'm not sure. And science, I was kinda like, I don't, do we need to know? You know, I just-

• 37:10Speaker 01

  Did you ever, did you ever cheat on a test?

• 37:13Speaker 03

  No, because I was so scared. I was so scared of getting caught.

• 37:16Speaker 01

  By your dad or by the-

• 37:18H. Foley?

  Yeah, who knows what he'd do to you?

• 37:19Speaker 03

  Anybody, I mean, everybody. Well, god's always watching. So, let's start, let's start with number one.

• 37:24H. Foley?

  The summer you get grounded for the whole summer. You can't see your friends. Are you working?

• 37:28Speaker 03

  No, because I was like twelve. I was like twelve.

• 37:31Speaker 01

  So you just had the house all day?

• 37:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 37:33H. Foley?

  What are you doing all day?

• 37:34Speaker 03

  I could watch TV if I was on the treadmill.

• 37:36H. Foley?

  What? What is this? What?

• 37:40Speaker 03

  You ever say something and you think it's okay? And then other people react to it and you go, am I, was that bad?

• 37:46H. Foley?

  You acted in the beginning, what we were saying about how organized and how you move was out of nowhere. This is why.

• 37:53Speaker 03

  I think it was like, you can watch TV if the whole family's watching TV and you ask for permission, but you can't any other time. And then also, like, yeah, I think, they probably just wanted me to lose weight. But they were like, if you're on the treadmill, you can watch TV, but that's it.

• 38:06H. Foley?

  Your father would've drowned me in a river. At an early age.

• 38:09Speaker 01

  I didn't know that was an option. I would've done that years ago.

• 38:11Speaker 03

  Rough.

• 38:11H. Foley?

  That's crazy.

• 38:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. So of course, like, you know, as an adult, yeah, now I'm always like, I need to do everything perfectly and-

• 38:19H. Foley?

  Killing it.

• 38:19Speaker 03

  I mean, look, here's the thing. It didn't not work.

• 38:22Speaker 01

  Sure. Yeah, see, that's the problem with that kinda stuff. It doesn't not work. The results are there. Also, could you have gone the other way and, you know?

• 38:31Speaker 03

  Totally. And I, maybe I should've. It would've been more fun, but, you know. I remember I had a friend's parent tell me once, which this was so inappropriate, but I had a friend's parent tell me in like fifth or sixth grade, like, your parents are so strict, you're gonna go crazy in college. They're like, you're gonna lose-

• 38:47Speaker 01

  My friends did that.

• 38:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, and they were wrong, but they were like, you're gonna go absolutely nuts. They're like, your, your parents are not-

• 38:55H. Foley?

  How old were you?

• 38:56Speaker 03

  When they said that to me, I think I was, I think I was like eleven or twelve.

• 38:59H. Foley?

  That's real fucked up to say to a girl.

• 39:01Speaker 03

  Isn't that fucked up? Yeah.

• 39:03Speaker 01

  Where did, and then you went to college?

• 39:05Speaker 03

  I went to college, yeah. I went to, uh, I went to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. And then there was like, which is a great school, but like, there's nowhere to do stand-up out there. You're just kind of like in a beach town and it's a great place to go to school if you wanna be like, an engineer or something.

• 39:20H. Foley?

  You were set on stand-up at that point?

• 39:22Speaker 03

  Um, I don't think I knew that I was set on stand-up until I went away to school. And then I got there and I was like, oh my god, there's nowhere to do stand-up. I, I do really wanna be doing stand-up.

• 39:32Speaker 01

  So obviously before, so stand-up happening in the background or whatever, through sixteen on, what was, obviously your dad, there was a plan for college and career at this point. What was that? What was that? No stand-up, what was the plan?

• 39:45Speaker 03

  I was gonna be a teacher.

• 39:47Speaker 01

  You're gonna be a teacher?

• 39:47Speaker 03

  I was gonna be a teacher and I wanted to like write, like, young adult novels in my free time. Yeah, that's like what I wanted to do before stand-up. Yeah.

• 39:55H. Foley?

Yeah, now you can actually go into one of their stores, you can get an eye exam right there. There's no running around to multiple spots. I gotta go here, I gotta take the referral over, get a paper, hey, there's in the receipt, blah, blah, blah. There's no guessing if your prescription is up to date. Everything is super clean, modern, and feels more like a wellness experience than your typical eye doctor visit. You know what I mean? They're, they're focused on the forward. These old doctors are part of the past, baby. It's like going to the nineteen seventies. They're in there smoking cigs in a break room. I can smell them. Not Warby Parker, these other doctors, not those that won't be mentioned.

• 42:33H. Foley?

  When you were 16 at your hometown, were you, you were doing spots?

• 42:37Speaker 03

  Not really spots. It was more so like.

• 42:40H. Foley?

  Things at the church?

• 42:40Speaker 03

  It was like, yeah, it was like churches and like schools and fundraisers and like, you know, Karen, that woman from our church, she, she did a lot of like public speaking engagements like, cause she had been a teacher and I think she was retired and she was doing. So she was like actually finding us like shows to do and like it was, she was really, yeah, she's also.

• 43:00Speaker 01

  You know, the.

• 43:01H. Foley?

  Christian comedy.

• 43:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, like a Christian comedy circuit.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  I know. I was in there for years. Yeah. Really huge. Yeah. And it was, uh, it was part of the reason I was like making money so young. Cause you were like, if you could do Christian comedy circuit, you can make serious money doing that. But yeah.

• 43:17H. Foley?

  You were at 16. You were handling that?

• 43:19Speaker 03

  Not at 16. I was at 16, you're making, you know, but like at 16, you can make like a couple hundred bucks from a bit, which is not something you're making at an open mic. Yeah, exactly.

• 43:29H. Foley?

  I would assume that you're, oh, you've always been good with money. Correct?

• 43:32Speaker 03

  I think so. I think so. I mean, I, yeah, like, I don't necessarily, I wouldn't say like, oh, I could tell you how to invest every, like, I'm not good with money in that way.

• 43:41H. Foley?

  You're not blowing it.

• 43:42Speaker 03

  But yeah, I'm responsible. Yes, I'm responsible with money. Absolutely.

• 43:44Speaker 01

  See, even that question is like, shows like where her brain's at. Where you go like, hey, you're not, no one's ever answered the question like that.

• 43:51Speaker 03

  Really?

• 43:51Speaker 01

  No one's ever said, are, hey, are you good with money? They go, yeah. And you went, well, I can't invest. When it's like.

• 43:58Speaker 03

  I know I'm supposed to and I have people doing it, but I, I don't, I couldn't give anyone else.

• 44:03Speaker 01

  But even your head went to the highest level of possibility of, oh, investment. I can't invest, but like, we just meant, dude, have you ever, you know, spent 15 grand on a wave runner? You shouldn't have.

• 44:12Speaker 03

  I told you, I'm annoying. Like, I'm so annoyed. I'm so annoyed. Like when people are like, do you have a hobby? I'm like, well, I can't. They're like, do you read? I'm like, not enough to say it's a hobby. If, if reading's a hobby, you're reading four books a week. And they're like, that's not, you don't have.

• 44:25Speaker 01

  Hey, relax. Take time.

• 44:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I don't read four books a week. No, that's what I'm saying. So it's like.

• 44:28Speaker 01

  What do you do in your spare time? You're obviously a very dedicated, a very career driven, oriented, successful. What is like, uh, you got four days off the road, whatever. What is it? What does some downtime look like?

• 44:40Speaker 03

  I mean, I like to read. I like, uh, I like a walk.

• 44:43Speaker 01

  Comedy?

• 44:44Speaker 03

  I like a walk. I like a hike. I like, uh, I'm an AMC stubs member. I see most movies.

• 44:49Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 44:50Speaker 03

  Like that. Yeah. So I think if I have four days off, the thing is though, if I do have like a full day off, I might spend part of it like writing at a coffee shop because it, it, I love to try and write jokes when I don't have anything like weighing on me. Yeah. So then I do kind of go like, oh man, I can work with no, no demands on it today. Like there's no deadline. Like to me, working with no deadline is like luxurious. I'm really hearing myself talking. I'm, I'm worried about, I'm worried about me.

• 45:19H. Foley?

  You're dialed in. It's crazy. We're the same species. That's, it's nuts.

• 45:23Speaker 03

  When you get emails about me, you got to forward them to me.

• 45:26H. Foley?

  What did your father think when you were like, I want to pursue standup?

• 45:30Speaker 03

  Um, I mean.

• 45:31Speaker 01

  You're grounded.

• 45:32Speaker 03

  Well, it's, the thing is, it was like, at the time, it was like doing Christian comedy. So I think he thought it was pretty cool.

• 45:37Speaker 01

  Part of the church.

• 45:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, part of the church. Like, you know.

• 45:40H. Foley?

  Saw it as a lucrative, you know.

• 45:41Speaker 03

  Yeah. So I think it was, I think it was maybe a little bit, it was different when I was like swearing and stuff on stage, uh, but that was years later. So, uh, but I think initially, yeah, I thought it was, thought it was pretty cool. Yeah. Do you guys ask the same questions on every episode?

• 45:54Speaker 01

  A lot. I mean, there's a, a good amount.

• 45:56Speaker 03

  You guys have a rubric.

• 45:57H. Foley?

  Sure. Well, you know, we.

• 45:58Speaker 03

  The are you garbage rubric?

• 45:59H. Foley?

  Whatever, whatever the guest gives us will, you know, tailor to that a little bit.

• 46:02Speaker 03

  So Nutella's big and the Christmas lights are big.

• 46:05Speaker 01

  There's some touch points. Yeah.

• 46:06Speaker 03

  Yeah. I can tell when you're like, and that's, you know, you light up in a way.

• 46:13H. Foley?

  This is a very unique case.

• 46:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 46:15H. Foley?

  To a degree.

• 46:16Speaker 03

  Is it?

• 46:17H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 46:17Speaker 01

  Well, yeah. I mean, you're, you've had, you've, you know, of a different childhood than most comics for sure, you know, uh, and you know, being the fact that you started so young and you've been in it for so long, you know, it's been a chunk of your life at this.

• 46:29Speaker 03

  Then over half my life.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, of course.

• 46:31H. Foley?

  Killing it successful. We get why it's, yeah.

• 46:34Speaker 03

  That's nice. Thanks.

• 46:35H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 46:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, it is weird. Yeah, it is strange. Cause yeah, I think, what, what would you say most people start stand up at? 22?

• 46:43Speaker 01

  20s probably. Yeah. After college, kind of, you know, a little bit. Uh, I think is, is probably, is, is probably for the most people.

• 46:51Speaker 03

  Yeah. So I was thinking.

• 46:52Speaker 01

  He was like, you know, late bloomer, 30, mid 30s, 32. Yeah.

• 46:55Speaker 03

  But that's good. You have so much to talk about. Like you'd live so much life.

• 46:58H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 47:00Speaker 03

  You're like, I'll take it. I'll take it.

• 47:02Speaker 01

  Take a sip real quick. Uh, your honor, please. A moment for my client.

• 47:05H. Foley?

  I don't think I've ever sat in a coffee shop and wrote anything. It's crazy.

• 47:08Speaker 03

  Do you write on stage? Do you write on stage?

• 47:11H. Foley?

  I never understood what that meant. Like do I have a pen and paper?

• 47:14Speaker 03

  Have you ever written a joke? What do you, where do you write jokes?

• 47:16Speaker 01

  Cut that. This is a great line of questioning.

• 47:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:19H. Foley?

  Not in the sense that you would think of it, I would say.

• 47:22Speaker 03

  Well, I think right on stage is probably what I mean then, right? Right on stage is like, do you just, you try stuff out that you've thought of on stage.

• 47:29Speaker 01

  Why are you looking at me? She's talking to you.

• 47:31Speaker 03

  But you never like, you never sit and think, you just kind of go up and you go like, oh, I have an, I, I want to talk about this subject.

• 47:37H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 47:37Speaker 03

  And I'll find it. Okay. Yeah. So that's writing on stage.

• 47:40H. Foley?

  Yeah. I guess so. I think our approach is.

• 47:42Speaker 03

  That's the cooler, that's the cooler way to do it.

• 47:44Speaker 01

  Writing on stage, been going out with a pen and a paper and then like having people watch you write stuff down?

• 47:50H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 47:51Speaker 01

  Hey guys, thanks for paying the, the $40 tickets. I want to write on stage.

• 47:54Speaker 03

  Well, I think writing on stage is like the cool, that's like the cool answer. It's like, yeah, I just go up and I'm like, yeah, no, I, I think I need to go up with like some punchlines I've thought of. And then once those start working, then I can kind of like, okay, let's, let's follow these paths.

• 48:07Speaker 01

  But that's writing on stage. Like I don't write the punchlines down. If I have the thoughts in my head.

• 48:12Speaker 03

  No, I write the punchlines down and then I go on stage with those punchlines I've written down. And I try out those punchlines and then I try to tag those punchlines from my head maybe, but I don't, I, I go up with stuff I wrote down.

• 48:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:25H. Foley?

  So there's a more organized, structured, professional version of that.

• 48:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:29H. Foley?

  Which is the better?

• 48:30Speaker 03

  I don't know if it's better. I really don't.

• 48:32Speaker 01

  It's whatever works for you.

• 48:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's whatever works for you.

• 48:34Speaker 01

  Whatever. If you can figure out what works for you, is that's the, is the hardest thing to do, but that makes everything easier.

• 48:38Speaker 03

  Yeah. See, I've always thought it was like just less cool that I had to do that.

• 48:43H. Foley?

  Lot more anxiety on, on that side.

• 48:45Speaker 03

  Really?

• 48:46H. Foley?

  Path of least resistance. Yeah.

• 48:49Speaker 01

  Do you listen to all your sets?

• 48:51Speaker 03

  Hmm. Yeah. I listen to a lot of them. Not every single one, but I do listen to, uh, I listen to my sets. Yeah. Do you record all your sets?

• 48:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:57Speaker 03

  Yeah. Do you listen to them?

• 48:59Speaker 01

  Uh, yeah. If I know, if there's stuff that I know I like, oh, I need to hear that again. Like, yeah, yeah, for sure.

• 49:06Speaker 03

  It's painful though. It's homework.

• 49:07Speaker 01

  It's brutal. It sucks.

• 49:08Speaker 03

  But it's so helpful. Every time you're like, fuck, gotta keep doing it.

• 49:11Speaker 01

  I heard a great quote the other day. It was by, uh, I think it was like a quarterback coach or a football coach. He was like, it's.

• 49:18H. Foley?

  Bruton?

• 49:18Speaker 01

  No, it was the tape.

• 49:20H. Foley?

  I know.

• 49:21Speaker 01

  John Madden. It was, he's like, they were talking about watching game, game tape. And he's like, it's never as bad as you think. And it's never as good as you think. And the never as good as you think is really good.

• 49:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 49:31Speaker 01

  You're like, yeah, listen to the ones that you thought were amazing, where you're like, I don't even need to listen to that. I was whatever. It was so good. And you listen, you're like, maybe the, maybe the mics weren't picking this up or something. I mean, it's like, you start going like, ah, it's not as good as I thought.

• 49:44Speaker 03

  It's so brutal. You're so right about that.

• 49:47Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a good quote. Um, okay. Huh. How do you, wait, ah, I just had a good one that I wanted to ask you. Well, you said you're in the, what is it? The, the stub? AMC stub?

• 49:56Speaker 03

  AMC stubs.

• 49:56Speaker 01

  What is, what is that specifically?

• 49:58Speaker 03

  It's like a monthly fee and you, and you can see up to four movies a week.

• 50:03Speaker 01

  That's crazy.

• 50:04Speaker 03

  Make the reservations.

• 50:05Speaker 01

  You gotta make the reservations.

• 50:06Speaker 03

  Did you ever have movie pass? Did you ever get on the movie pass?

• 50:08Speaker 01

  I didn't. I, I was about to, and then I think it started tanking and I was.

• 50:11Speaker 03

  Well, yeah. Cause it wasn't, I don't know how that.

• 50:13Speaker 01

  It was short-lived. Yeah.

• 50:14Speaker 03

  Of course. Cause it was ridiculous. It was like, you could go to as many movies as you wanted.

• 50:17Speaker 01

  And they were buying the tickets.

• 50:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, it was.

• 50:20Speaker 01

  Which didn't make any sense from a business standpoint.

• 50:22Speaker 03

  So this is like a better version of that. Where it's like, but you can only see four in a week. But like, most of the times you're not going to see four in a week, but sometimes you do.

• 50:29Speaker 01

  You'll go see four movies in a week?

• 50:30Speaker 03

  I have when it's like, you know, if it's like Oscar season and I have a week off.

• 50:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:36Speaker 03

  Like, yeah, of course. Especially like when your voice is so tired from the road and like, you want to catch up with people at home, but that's why I love a movie date. I love a movie like friend hang.

• 50:47H. Foley?

  Movie solo? Where you do movie solo?

• 50:49Speaker 03

  Love a movie solo. Like sometimes I go to the movies. I'm like, I don't even know if I wanted to see this or if I just wanted to drink a Diet Coke in the dark. Yeah.

• 50:56H. Foley?

  Good. That brings our next question. What is, what's the movie snacks?

• 51:00Speaker 01

  And will you sneak anything in?

• 51:01Speaker 03

  Of course. I'm always sneaking stuff in. I'm sneaking my own popcorn in. Cause.

• 51:04H. Foley?

  What? You'll get the stuff from a place that's cheaper and bring it in.

• 51:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's cheaper and like healthier usually. When you go to get popcorn at the movie theater, it might be stale. It, sometimes it's amazing and sometimes it just tastes weird. Sometimes there's like, again, lactose intolerance. Sometimes it's like a butter chemical, but then sometimes you're like, that was fucking butter. Like, you know, you just don't know. And so I like to like bring my own.

• 51:26Speaker 01

  What's the brand you like?

• 51:27Speaker 03

  I like lesser evil. I like that one. That's like, they got like coconut oil. They got like butter flavored, but it's not butter. It's good.

• 51:35H. Foley?

  Where would you pick up something like that? Whole foods?

• 51:37Speaker 03

  Whole foods, sprouts.

• 51:39Speaker 01

  Staples? They got Target, Thrive Market, Instacart. You get it everywhere. Oh, I've seen this guy.

• 51:44Speaker 03

  You've seen this, right?

• 51:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 51:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's good. Or I have, I do have an air popper at home. Sometimes I'll do that.

• 51:49Speaker 01

  You'll make your own popcorn?

• 51:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 51:51H. Foley?

  In what vessel to the movies?

• 51:53Speaker 03

  It's an air popper. Oh, you put it, you put it in just like a, you let it cool and then you put it in like a Ziploc bag.

• 51:58Speaker 01

  Where do you put that Ziploc?

• 51:59Speaker 03

  That's garbage, right?

• 52:00Speaker 01

  Yeah. No, we're not, we're not done our line of questioning on the, on the.

• 52:03H. Foley?

  It is and it isn't.

• 52:04Speaker 03

  It is and it isn't, right? That you're right. I am, I.

• 52:07Speaker 01

  First of all, it's in the garbage. It's, it's a classier version of being a dirtbag for sure.

• 52:13H. Foley?

  But she's, yeah. I assume you're very organized as well.

• 52:17Speaker 03

  Yeah. Generally or the popcorn?

• 52:20Speaker 01

  Where, hold on, hold on. Where do you, where do you put the popcorn? It's all by size. Uh, I go largest or smallest. Uh, what?

• 52:27Speaker 03

  I'll bring my own Diet Coke.

• 52:28Speaker 01

  What?

• 52:29H. Foley?

  Hold on, hold on. You don't even get the Diet Coke with the ice?

• 52:32Speaker 03

  No, I bring it with me. I will get, I will, uh, I usually do can.

• 52:36Speaker 01

  Do you do a straw?

• 52:37Speaker 03

  I, I will do a straw if it's available to me, but not usually if I'm bringing it with me somewhere. I know I'm supposed to.

• 52:42Speaker 01

  Where are you putting, hold on, hold on. Where are you putting the stuff?

• 52:44Speaker 03

  Tote bag.

• 52:46Speaker 01

  In a tote bag?

• 52:47Speaker 03

  In a tote bag.

• 52:48Speaker 01

  So you have popcorn and soda. What are things, they're not checking to see if you have it. Okay.

• 52:53H. Foley?

  They're not kicking you out for Diet Coke and homemade popcorn.

• 52:56Speaker 03

  No. Also they're not checking.

• 52:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 52:58H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 52:58Speaker 03

  You know, they should be, but they're not. Yeah.

• 53:01Speaker 01

  What else is in that tote? You got the popcorn? You got the, the soda? That's it?

• 53:05Speaker 03

  No, it depends.

• 53:06H. Foley?

  Ziploc bag.

• 53:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 53:08H. Foley?

  Or is it in a Tupperware thing?

• 53:09Speaker 03

  It's in a Ziploc bag.

• 53:10H. Foley?

  All right.

• 53:11Speaker 03

  I've never even thought to put it in a Tupperware. I should.

• 53:13H. Foley?

  I figured you'd have it in a glass Tupperware container.

• 53:15Speaker 03

  Oh man, that would be better, huh? I have that too. I should do that.

• 53:19H. Foley?

  But you got tons of them.

• 53:20Speaker 03

  I'm putting it in a plastic bag. That's really gross.

• 53:22H. Foley?

  No, it's still, yeah.

• 53:23Speaker 03

  Okay, it's fine. All right. Great.

• 53:24H. Foley?

  Yeah, it's sharp and organized.

• 53:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. And then like sometimes I'll do, uh, like a dark chocolate or.

• 53:29Speaker 01

  What kind of brand do you like?

• 53:31Speaker 03

  I like the, uh, oh God, what's it called? It's the, is it, is it? H? Something with an A. Is it H U?

• 53:38Speaker 01

  Oh, uh, Hugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?

• 53:41H. Foley?

  Is that what the brown wrapper?

• 53:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 53:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. I like that one.

• 53:44Speaker 01

  Okay, classy. She's got a couple of bucks on her.

• 53:47H. Foley?

  Any sea salt?

• 53:48Speaker 03

  I like the dark chocolate sea salt. Yeah, the salty dark chocolate. Yeah.

• 53:52H. Foley?

  Operator.

• 53:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 53:53Speaker 01

  That's a touch of class right there. Touch of class. Popcorn aside, touch of class.

• 53:59H. Foley?

  I can't say it's trashy, obviously. It's a responsible thing, but I get the snacks. I don't get the low-cal popcorn. That's crazy to me. The Diet Coke in a can.

• 54:11Speaker 03

  You don't like that?

• 54:12H. Foley?

  At the movies?

• 54:13Speaker 01

  A lot of times, yeah.

• 54:15Speaker 03

  That's the thing that I will buy at the movies. If I'm buying anything, it's that.

• 54:19H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 54:19Speaker 03

  It's like a big Diet Coke.

• 54:22Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 54:22H. Foley?

  Right.

• 54:22Speaker 03

  With the ice, yes.

• 54:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you.

• 54:24H. Foley?

  Thank God.

• 54:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 54:25H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 54:25Speaker 03

  But if I can just bring one in a can from home that's cold already, I'll do that.

• 54:29H. Foley?

  But it's not gonna be cold.

• 54:29Speaker 03

  I also don't want that much Diet Coke. Who wants this much Diet Coke? You want, you drink that whole thing?

• 54:34Speaker 01

  Oh, my God. I'll go get refills.

• 54:36Speaker 03

  What? What about like acid reflux? You don't deal with that?

• 54:38Speaker 01

  Welcome to my life. Welcome to the show.

• 54:40H. Foley?

  Take Nexium every day.

• 54:41Speaker 03

  No, I need like, I need like four sips. I need like four gulps of a Diet Coke and I'm good.

• 54:46Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 54:47Speaker 03

  That's why I like like the mini cans.

• 54:48Speaker 01

  That's crazy.

• 54:49Speaker 03

  Any more than that, I'm like, oh my God, I've got, I'm not gonna be able to sleep.

• 54:53Speaker 01

  I got you. Yeah, okay.

• 54:57Speaker 03

  I didn't know acid reflux could be stress induced. And when I found that out.

• 55:01H. Foley?

  Do you have acid reflux?

• 55:02Speaker 01

  That's the best guy.

• 55:02Speaker 03

  I don't know. I think, I think maybe yes. I think.

• 55:05H. Foley?

  Do you get heartburn a lot?

• 55:07Speaker 03

  I don't know. I thought heartburn was something else. I thought.

• 55:10H. Foley?

  It kind of is. I have acid reflux as I was a kid.

• 55:12Speaker 03

  Acid reflux is like, it's in your.

• 55:14H. Foley?

  When it comes up.

• 55:14Speaker 03

  But I don't feel it come up, but I can feel it when my throat is like.

• 55:20H. Foley?

  That's acid reflux.

• 55:21Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 55:21H. Foley?

  Diet Coke, you see that?

• 55:22Speaker 03

  I thought you could feel it though.

• 55:24Speaker 01

  The bubbles.

• 55:25Speaker 03

  Maybe it's like, yeah, I think Diet Coke does as if I have too much caffeine, I think is what happens.

• 55:29H. Foley?

  See, I would just drink through that.

• 55:31Speaker 03

  Because I went to an E and T and they were like, yes, too much caffeine. And I was like, oh. And the bubbles too. Yeah.

• 55:37H. Foley?

  Man.

• 55:38Speaker 03

  Sometimes you gotta do it.

• 55:40H. Foley?

  Twizzlers, anything like that?

• 55:43Speaker 03

  I mean, not usually. I'll do like, uh, I like like the, the Smart Sweets. You ever have those?

• 55:50H. Foley?

  I've seen them.

• 55:50Speaker 01

  Man, new guy Luke is all over your Smart Sweets.

• 55:54Speaker 03

  This is embarrassing.

• 55:55H. Foley?

  You liked them or not?

• 55:56Speaker 01

  No, but my girl loves them.

• 55:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, see, then I knew you were gonna say that.

• 55:59Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, that stuff. Yeah. Even the packaging looks like something I would never get.

• 56:03H. Foley?

  Two grams of sugar, you're ripping me off.

• 56:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:06H. Foley?

  Crazy.

• 56:06Speaker 01

  Paid good money for that sugar.

• 56:07Speaker 03

  You don't like stevia? Um, no, they got some, they got some new like cloud ones that are really good.

• 56:13Speaker 01

  Those are good.

• 56:13Speaker 03

  Those are good, right? See?

• 56:15Speaker 01

  New guy Luke's in.

• 56:16H. Foley?

  He's a candy guy, operates in both worlds.

• 56:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, if your boyfriend, if you're listening to this and your boyfriend is a dick about your Smart Sweets, get the, get the pillowy cloud ones.

• 56:24Speaker 01

  Hmm, that'll convert them. They're right on board. Uh, all right, you travel a lot, obviously. Do you have a airline you like to fly?

• 56:30Speaker 03

  I like Delta. Delta's number one.

• 56:32Speaker 01

  She's a Delta gal. Are you Diamond?

• 56:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, uh.

• 56:34Speaker 01

  Diamond Medallion?

• 56:35Speaker 03

  I think so, yeah. I think so. But also now I will kind of just go with whatever is a direct. Like, for a long time I was like Delta no matter what, and now I'm like.

• 56:43Speaker 01

  You would do a layover to stay Delta?

• 56:45Speaker 03

  No, I, I'm saying I used to, and now I won't. Now I'm like, where's the direct?

• 56:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 56:50Speaker 03

  We're just gonna get on that. I just, I try to avoid United.

• 56:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, hey, who doesn't? You know what I mean?

• 56:55H. Foley?

  Why?

• 56:56Speaker 03

  I, because I feel like United is always like, hey, we overbooked the flight by 80 people. Can anyone like move here and we'll give you $10? Like, that's like, that's like every United flight I've ever been on.

• 57:08H. Foley?

  Have you ever taken that offer? When they offer?

• 57:10Speaker 03

  When I was younger, I have. When they were like, do you want to stay at the Denver airport for nine hours and we'll give you $100? And I was like, absolutely.

• 57:16H. Foley?

  You might as well say a million.

• 57:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm like, this is the most I've ever made.

• 57:19H. Foley?

  But then you find out you don't get it for three weeks and it's a gift card.

• 57:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:22Speaker 01

  We were flying out, uh.

• 57:23Speaker 03

  And then you don't do it anymore.

• 57:25Speaker 01

  We were flying out of LA last week and they were, somebody, they were going to like, I don't know, Cancun or somewhere, and they were like, the guy's like, we're giving, he's like, cash, like before he even said the number, he's like, cash, $800 a person. We need cash. It's like, the flight's in eight hours, or maybe it's come back, it was like.

• 57:40Speaker 04

  It was the next day.

• 57:41Speaker 01

  It was the next day. And he's like.

• 57:43H. Foley?

  Kind of tug it.

• 57:43Speaker 01

  And dude.

• 57:44Speaker 03

  Well, you, you're gonna.

• 57:45H. Foley?

  Got caught up at the airport.

• 57:45Speaker 01

  Dude, there was this couple, the guy looked at his girl, they were like, I don't know if they're on their honeymoon or anniversary or what, and he's like.

• 57:52H. Foley?

  Can't pass that up?

• 57:52Speaker 01

  He's like, 800 a head. She's like, don't you even think about it. I'm like.

• 57:56Speaker 03

  Well, here's the thing, it's like, how much was the hotel? Because.

• 57:58Speaker 01

  That's, of course.

• 57:59Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? Because it's like.

• 58:00Speaker 01

  You lost the night at the hotel, you gotta go home, you gotta get back to the whatever, they gotta get back to the airport, check in, nothing.

• 58:05Speaker 03

  So it sounds good, but at the end of the day, really?

• 58:07Speaker 01

  When the rubber hits the road, it's a tough look.

• 58:09H. Foley?

  I'm slightly scared to ask this.

• 58:11Speaker 03

  Oh, no?

• 58:11H. Foley?

  Are you up front?

• 58:12Speaker 01

  You're flying first class.

• 58:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, now I am. Now I am, yeah.

• 58:15H. Foley?

  When did you start that?

• 58:17Speaker 03

  Oof, I don't know. Maybe.

• 58:19H. Foley?

  If you say like a year ago, I'm gonna freak out.

• 58:20Speaker 03

  It wasn't a year ago, no. It was maybe, I want to say like, maybe three years ago, right? When was COVID? I think maybe 2022? So maybe four. Four, four years.

• 58:33Speaker 01

  That's about the same time we do. I mean, we did it way too early. We started doing it way too early. But once we did it, I can't go, I was like, I can't go back.

• 58:40Speaker 03

  I think it was the, like, COVID really freaks me out and fucks me up. And so I was like, okay, I'm gonna start paying for this because I'm gonna get sick less.

• 58:47H. Foley?

  Will you bring food on the plane?

• 58:49Speaker 03

  I bring food. I never eat on the plane.

• 58:50H. Foley?

  But is it your healthy, clean, good food?

• 58:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, I never.

• 58:53H. Foley?

  It's not like a tuna hoagie?

• 58:54Speaker 03

  No, no, no. I never. But we took, I took Chick-fil-A on the plane. I brought like the grilled nuggets from Chick-fil-A on the plane.

• 59:00Speaker 01

  That's not good.

• 59:01Speaker 03

  And then I felt bad. It's not good.

• 59:03Speaker 01

  No.

• 59:03Speaker 03

  Because it's smells.

• 59:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 59:05Speaker 03

  I know, and I felt bad, but we had a really tight connection. And I was like, I'm sorry, guys. But I also, you know what? I'll bring, I'll say it. I'll bring hard-boiled eggs on a plane.

• 59:13H. Foley?

  Ah.

• 59:13Speaker 03

  But I didn't make them at home, so they don't, have you had the hard-boiled eggs from the airport? They don't smell like anything.

• 59:19H. Foley?

  That's crazy.

• 59:19Speaker 01

  That's a crazy scent.

• 59:21Speaker 03

  They don't. Have you smelled them? Smell.

• 59:23Speaker 04

  Those bags are so scary.

• 59:24Speaker 03

  There's, yeah, but have you actually had it? Because you open them, they don't smell. I don't know what they're putting on there, preservatives wise. It can't be good, but they don't smell. The smell is contained. I don't know how they do it. So I will, I will eat a hard-boiled egg on a plane. And I make quick work of it.

• 59:38H. Foley?

  For health purposes.

• 59:38Speaker 03

  For health purposes, yes.

• 59:39H. Foley?

  Yeah. Neither one of us have ever had a hard-boiled egg in that, in that, in that manner.

• 59:44Speaker 03

  In that setting, yeah.

• 59:45H. Foley?

  Jammy egg, have a jammy egg.

• 59:47Speaker 03

  Okay, all right. See, on a plane, are you eating the in-flight meal?

• 59:51Speaker 01

  Uh, I stopped. Uh, we're both on a weight loss journey. I stopped.

• 59:56H. Foley?

  I had it last week.

• 59:57Speaker 01

  I mean, go in, go in long.

• 59:59Speaker 03

  Short rip.

• 1:00:00H. Foley?

  Awesome.

• 1:00:01Speaker 03

  In the sky.

• 1:00:02H. Foley?

  Is that crazy to you?

• 1:00:03Speaker 03

  I mean, it's just.

• 1:00:04H. Foley?

  Would you ever?

• 1:00:04Speaker 03

  I, no, I just don't trust, I don't know, we're so far.

• 1:00:07H. Foley?

  Trust what? You're in, you're 30,000 feet up in the air.

• 1:00:10Speaker 01

  No, I agree. They, for some reason, Delta throws out like three shrimp to you, and you go, well, this is wild work.

• 1:00:16H. Foley?

  I know the shrimp you're talking about.

• 1:00:17Speaker 03

  I know the shrimp you're talking about.

• 1:00:18Speaker 01

  That's wild, dude.

• 1:00:19H. Foley?

  It's like a shrimp cocktail.

• 1:00:21Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:00:21Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:00:22Speaker 01

  It's a, it's a food poisoning cocktail.

• 1:00:24Speaker 03

  By the way, on the topic, sorry to yell, on the topic of the smells, I'm sorry, your in-flight.

• 1:00:29Speaker 01

  What do you two got going on there?

• 1:00:30Speaker 03

  Your in-flight meal smells so much worse than my hard-boiled eggs.

• 1:00:34H. Foley?

  You know what we're talking about.

• 1:00:35Speaker 01

  You're not wrong.

• 1:00:36Speaker 03

  I, they smell like shit.

• 1:00:37Speaker 01

  But that's not me. They're cooking those meals whether I have it or not. I'm, I'm, I'm, hey, don't play, don't pay them to play or play the game.

• 1:00:43Speaker 03

  It lingers on the cabin.

• 1:00:44H. Foley?

  A hard-boiled egg.

• 1:00:45Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:46H. Foley?

  Is, yeah. You know what you're doing.

• 1:00:49Speaker 03

  I know what I'm doing, but everyone else is gonna eat the thing and I'm not gonna contribute to that cloud of stench.

• 1:00:54H. Foley?

  You think that's gross?

• 1:00:54Speaker 03

  Yes, I think these, sometimes it smells good, and then other times you're like, what the fuck is that?

• 1:01:00H. Foley?

  I've never had that.

• 1:01:01Speaker 03

  Dave, I've seen them be like, you want the clam chowder? I'm like, on this eight-hour flight? No.

• 1:01:06Speaker 01

  Also, think about that. If you're not eating, and then so they just throw some, they throw some shrimp, shrimp down on the guy next to you, you'd be like, what the hell is this?

• 1:01:14Speaker 03

  I know, I don't.

• 1:01:14Speaker 01

  You can't get mad about an egg when there's seafood out.

• 1:01:16Speaker 03

  Yeah. Also, I'm not gonna gamble with my bowels on a cross-country flight like that.

• 1:01:21H. Foley?

  I roll the dice. Roll the dice. Room temperature shrimp.

• 1:01:26Speaker 01

  Hit me, baby, let's go.

• 1:01:28H. Foley?

  Man.

• 1:01:29Speaker 01

  Huh.

• 1:01:29H. Foley?

  Do you take your shoes off on the plane?

• 1:01:31Speaker 03

  Never. Do you take your shoes off on the plane?

• 1:01:33Speaker 01

  Uh, again, cross-country.

• 1:01:35H. Foley?

  That we're the same species is crazy.

• 1:01:37Speaker 03

  You're coming for me for hard-boiled eggs. And you take your shoes off on the plane?

• 1:01:41H. Foley?

  This is our show.

• 1:01:42Speaker 03

  Are you fucking? Okay, all right. You're like, I never claimed to be classy.

• 1:01:47Speaker 01

  That's, that's also a fun thing in the show. We accuse people of being trash, and at some point they go, what about you?

• 1:01:51Speaker 03

  We just say that.

• 1:01:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, but we are dirtbags.

• 1:01:53H. Foley?

  And in this situation, we think the hard-boiled egg is trashy because just the way hard-boiled eggs smell, and just as dirtballs, eating a hard-boiled egg for health reasons is foreign to us.

• 1:02:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:02:05H. Foley?

  So we're taking that shot.

• 1:02:07Speaker 03

  I mean, eating anything out of a clear bag, which I've, I've noticed, I do that across the board, everywhere. The movie theater on the plane, I'm eating everything out of a clear bag, and that is pretty gross.

• 1:02:17H. Foley?

  No, there's a little bit of juice in there that freaks me out, though.

• 1:02:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's gross.

• 1:02:21Speaker 01

  There's like a, there's like an environment in there. There's a, there's a climate of its own in the, in the bag.

• 1:02:26Speaker 03

  That's where the smell stays.

• 1:02:29Speaker 01

  Why am I just gagged right there?

• 1:02:30H. Foley?

  You put your seat back?

• 1:02:31Speaker 03

  I don't put my seat back either.

• 1:02:32Speaker 01

  Respect it.

• 1:02:33Speaker 03

  Not, not unless it's like the middle of the night. That's the only time I do it. I try not to, because I hate it when people put their seats back.

• 1:02:40H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 1:02:41Speaker 03

  So I try not to put my seat back.

• 1:02:42Speaker 01

  Want to be the change you want to see in the world, you know what I mean?

• 1:02:44H. Foley?

  You watch a movie on the plane?

• 1:02:46Speaker 03

  Depends. I like to.

• 1:02:48Speaker 01

  Right.

• 1:02:49Speaker 03

  I like to work on the plane. But I, I like to book like other flights on the plane. Like I, I really lock in.

• 1:02:56Speaker 01

  Do some admin.

• 1:02:56Speaker 03

  But yeah, I do a lot of admin.

• 1:02:58H. Foley?

  You're booking your own flights?

• 1:02:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, no one can do it like me.

• 1:03:01H. Foley?

  You're booking your own flights?

• 1:03:02Speaker 01

  I like this girl.

• 1:03:03Speaker 03

  I'm booking my own flights.

• 1:03:04Speaker 01

  You're good.

• 1:03:05Speaker 03

  Well, if I, also I have like a whole team of people. I will have a flight.

• 1:03:09Speaker 01

  Me too, they'll stink.

• 1:03:09Speaker 03

  Ah, no, they're all great, but like I'll have a flight that gets delayed or something and I, I'm texting my team like, "Hey, my, I'm not gonna make my connection. Can you guys look for other flights?" And they won't respond for three minutes and I'll go, "Nevermind, I already did it." Like, I already did it. And it's, you know, it's, I've been doing this for

• 1:03:27Speaker 01

  You're out Luke.

• 1:03:28Speaker 03

  A decade, you know what I mean? Like, no one's gonna be, I remember at one point, my manager was like, "You should hire a, a travel agent." And I was like, "What travel agent is gonna be as fast as me?"

• 1:03:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:03:38Speaker 03

  I'm booking my opener's flights a lot of times with my, yeah, it's like, it's just faster if I do it. And I've been doing it for so long, it's easy for me.

• 1:03:47Speaker 01

  And you know what you like and what you'd like, just right at a glance, you go, "Not for me, not for me." That's it.

• 1:03:51Speaker 03

  Yep, yep. And you know what websites to use and it's just much faster. And all my stuff is saved.

• 1:03:57Speaker 01

  Oh, I got you.

• 1:03:58Speaker 03

  When you can do the, and the, the frequent companion thing, it's like, it's so easy. So I like to do that on the plane. I'll read on the plane. I will watch movies on the plane. I like to watch like a bad show or like a show I never would have watched on the plane.

• 1:04:12Speaker 01

  I started doing that.

• 1:04:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, what, what'd you watch?

• 1:04:14Speaker 01

  I watched Tulsa King.

• 1:04:15Speaker 03

  How was that?

• 1:04:16Speaker 01

  Uh, it's pretty good. It's pretty bad and corny, but good. And I watched one of the, uh, Yellowstone offshoots.

• 1:04:23Speaker 03

  That's exactly what you should be watching on the plane. Yep. I watched, which I consider this kind of a Yellowstone offshoot, because it's Taylor Sheridan, who did all those, right?

• 1:04:31H. Foley?

  Landman?

• 1:04:32Speaker 03

  Is the, the, no, not that one. Uh, the one with Zoe Zaldana.

• 1:04:36H. Foley?

  Oh, Lioness.

• 1:04:38Speaker 03

  Yes. Which is not something I would ever watch. And once I got back on the ground, I was like, "I'm not super interested in this military show anymore." But up in the sky for whatever reason.

• 1:04:47Speaker 01

  Give it an Emmy.

• 1:04:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I, up in the air, I was like, "Whoa, this is riveting." And then I got down there and I was like, "Ah, I don't think this is for me, actually."

• 1:04:54H. Foley?

  You ever see Sicario?

• 1:04:55Speaker 03

  Yes. I, I think I saw.

• 1:04:57H. Foley?

  That's Taylor Sheridan too.

• 1:04:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, that makes sense. I think I saw that in theaters, actually.

• 1:05:00Speaker 01

  Dude's a killer.

• 1:05:01Speaker 03

  That was crazy. It's all, yeah, it feels, it feels all the same. Yeah. Once you, once you see it, you're like, "I can't unsee it." This feels like that guy.

• 1:05:08Speaker 01

  So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:05:09Speaker 03

  It's for dads.

• 1:05:11H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 1:05:11Speaker 03

  Right? It's a dad show.

• 1:05:12Speaker 01

  And as a dad, it's got the dad's stamp of approval.

• 1:05:15Speaker 03

  Hey, you know what? Dads really like me for some reason. Dads like, like my comedy. Not like in a, not like in a weird way.

• 1:05:21Speaker 01

  I gotta be honest, not a fan.

• 1:05:22Speaker 03

  Well, you don't have to. You're a new dad. You'll come around. When your kid's a teen, you're gonna be like, "You know who I like."

• 1:05:27Speaker 01

  I met her one time, I swear to God.

• 1:05:29Speaker 03

  No, I get like, I get girls who are like 22, who are like, "My dad introduced me to you." And I'm like, "Your dad?" Like, or maybe I'm just the thing that dads are like, "I can stomach this, this comedy. I'm gonna try to connect with my daughter about it."

• 1:05:42Speaker 01

  That kinda makes, I mean, obviously you're

• 1:05:45H. Foley?

  Sharp, funny, relatable material.

• 1:05:46Speaker 01

  Good, funny, like, you know, obviously it, it all transcends, so.

• 1:05:50Speaker 03

  I think it's dads with like teenage daughters who are probably looking for ways to connect.

• 1:05:54Speaker 01

  Sure, that makes sense.

• 1:05:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think that's, it's like good dads with teens.

• 1:05:58Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. I mean, listen, we're, we're running out of time here. I, I gotta be honest with you. You really flipped it on me. I thought you were a Midwest classy broad. You're Califor, you're Temecula trash. I'm being honest with you.

• 1:06:12Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 1:06:12H. Foley?

  That's what you're saying 'cause of the eggs? What makes her trash?

• 1:06:17Speaker 01

  Eh, I mean.

• 1:06:18H. Foley?

  Organized, sharp?

• 1:06:20Speaker 01

  I'm not, listen.

• 1:06:20H. Foley?

  The reason she's doing that stuff. I can say you're all class.

• 1:06:23Speaker 03

  I'm gonna blow up this podcast. It's over after this app.

• 1:06:25Speaker 01

  No way, dude.

• 1:06:26Speaker 03

  Couldn't agree. It's garbage.

• 1:06:28Speaker 01

  Eggs on a plane, guy. Eggs on a plane.

• 1:06:32Speaker 03

  But my shoes are on and my seat's up.

• 1:06:34Speaker 01

  She's making popcorn at home and taking it to the movie theater.

• 1:06:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:38H. Foley?

  That's, but it's like good popcorn.

• 1:06:40Speaker 01

  You're, you're compromised. Did she get to you?

• 1:06:42Speaker 03

  Look, I, this is, honestly, this is the best outcome I could have asked for.

• 1:06:46H. Foley?

  She says everything I'm not as far as like being.

• 1:06:49Speaker 01

  I know, but you're, you're, you're, you're, you're focused on the things that you don't do because you're in the middle of a personal crisis.

• 1:06:55H. Foley?

  Sure. I booked my first flight like three months ago.

• 1:06:59Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:06:59H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:00Speaker 03

  Has someone else been doing it for you?

• 1:07:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, me.

• 1:07:02Speaker 03

  Whoa, oh, there you go.

• 1:07:04H. Foley?

  I only ever flew for comedy.

• 1:07:05Speaker 03

  Wow. See, and when I see other people who can trust someone else to book their stuff, I'm like, wow.

• 1:07:12Speaker 01

  I mean, there was no option. It was either he didn't make the show, he didn't make the show in Boston, or, you know, I booked it.

• 1:07:18Speaker 03

  That's so, yeah, I know. There are some people who like, they'll be like, "Yeah, my managers book all my flights." And I'm like,

• 1:07:22Speaker 01

  That's crazy.

• 1:07:23Speaker 03

  I'm like, "Managers don't do that. You just can't get it together." Like, I think they were just like, "Oh, if we want them to go do the show, we have to book it." Like, and I've just never even

• 1:07:31Speaker 01

  They're the same way.

• 1:07:32Speaker 03

  Thought to do that.

• 1:07:33Speaker 01

  All in-house, baby.

• 1:07:34Speaker 03

  But you know what? I think this is like, honestly, a perfect assessment, because this is how I feel like when I'm dating, I'm kinda like, I think I'm either like a huge catch or like a huge red flag, depending on which, which way, I could argue both ways for real and not even on different points. I'm like, professional comedian, whoa, that's amazing. Also, yikes, not sure about that. So like, honestly, this feels very, uh, on brand for me.

• 1:07:58Speaker 01

  You at least walk in both worlds.

• 1:08:00H. Foley?

  If somebody comes in your house and they're messy, is that an issue with you?

• 1:08:04Speaker 03

  Like if they have dirt, dirt on their shoes and stuff?

• 1:08:06H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 1:08:08Speaker 03

  Yeah. Is that, if someone tracks mud into your house?

• 1:08:11Speaker 01

  What indicator is that?

• 1:08:12Speaker 03

  I don't know. I think I'm kinda, I think I'm like classy trash.

• 1:08:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, you're, sure. Yeah. I, listen, I think you're trashy. Is, I'm not, I don't know why we're painting it as like that's a horrible grade of character. You're very smart, driven, hardworking, talented, all of that aside. You're eating fucking eggs in first class. There's no way around that.

• 1:08:32H. Foley?

  I can't do, she's the low calorie, fucking low sugar.

• 1:08:35Speaker 03

  I'm a plastic bag, but I'm in the wind.

• 1:08:37Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:08:38H. Foley?

  She's bringing her own Diet Coke. That's

• 1:08:39Speaker 01

  That's trashy, dude. You're sneaking in a can of Diet Coke?

• 1:08:42Speaker 03

  I'm flying high, but I am garbage.

• 1:08:44Speaker 01

  She's a famous comedian. She's sneaking in a can of Diet Coke. What?

• 1:08:46H. Foley?

  Well, yeah, I wouldn't do anything like that. She'd get in the big Diet Coke, buy it in the movie theater.

• 1:08:50Speaker 03

  Is there anything you're gonna start doing because of this? Have I changed anything for you?

• 1:08:53H. Foley?

  No.

• 1:08:54Speaker 03

  No, all right. Well, I did my best.

• 1:08:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:08:57H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:57Speaker 01

  We love you. Thank you so much.

• 1:08:59Speaker 03

  This was so fun. Thank you for having me, guys.
