• 2:13Speaker 01

  Hit you right in the chops.

• 2:14H. Foley?

  Beautiful place, nice restaurants, beautiful talented people. I love the scenery. I love the weather. I'm an LA guy.

• 2:20Speaker 01

  No, you ain't. No, you ain't. That place chewed you up, spit you out.

• 2:24H. Foley?

  Twice.

• 2:25Speaker 01

  Turned you out. I saw you hooking down there on Sunset.

• 2:28H. Foley?

  Fuck, it really did turn me on there.

• 2:29Speaker 01

  Turned you out, dude. You went up to LA.

• 2:31H. Foley?

  It kinda turns me on a lot.

• 2:32Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah. Go back. Yeah, dirty little bitch, aren't I? You landed LA, yes.

• 2:37H. Foley?

  Ramon picks me up at the airport.

• 2:39Speaker 01

  I'll see you later. What the fuck? I'm carrying all the bags.

• 2:42H. Foley?

  Like a pimp. Gets thrown in the back.

• 2:44Speaker 01

  Ah, yeah.

• 2:45H. Foley?

  Yeah. LA's gonna be fun, man.

• 2:46Speaker 01

  It'll be good.

• 2:47H. Foley?

  We're about to be back out there.

• 2:48Speaker 01

  La La Land.

• 2:49H. Foley?

  No one leaves. Damn it.

• 2:52Speaker 01

  Hotel California.

• 2:56H. Foley?

  Man.

• 2:56Speaker 01

  Yeah, that is really you, dude.

• 2:58H. Foley?

  We've been out there like five-

• 2:59Speaker 01

  Are you Don Henley?

• 3:00H. Foley?

  No. No.

• 3:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's far from it.

• 3:03H. Foley?

  I'm more of a Glenn Frey man. You're Don Henley, playing the drums and singing.

• 3:06Speaker 01

  He's got a voice of a generation.

• 3:08H. Foley?

  Playing the drums and singing? Get outta here.

• 3:10Speaker 01

  You gotta be ultra talented to pull that off.

• 3:12H. Foley?

  Get somebody else to play the goddamn drums. Get up there and sing. I used to hate when Phil Collins did that shit. He pulled it off.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  He told me Don Henley didn't pull. I mean, your head is so far up your ass, it's-

• 3:23H. Foley?

  Imagine that statement. Yeah, Don Henley just never pulled it off.

• 3:26Speaker 01

  He didn't really do it for me. Oh, he didn't do it for you?

• 3:29H. Foley?

  Seven million records.

• 3:30Speaker 01

  Um, today we're talking about dive bars, something near and dear to our hearts.

• 3:36H. Foley?

  I've never been to one.

• 3:36Speaker 01

  Oh, hmm. Tell that to the frolic room out there in La La Land.

• 3:41H. Foley?

  Woo.

• 3:41Speaker 01

  Which was, I think the last time we were, me and you were posting up proper in a night, as a dive of dives, but I was searching for a dive bar- Few nights ago.

• 3:52H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:53Speaker 01

  Me and our good pal, Dr. Rubenoff.

• 3:55H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:55Speaker 01

  Had some bopping around the city, doing some spots.

• 3:58H. Foley?

  In New York City.

• 3:59Speaker 01

  In New York City, New York.

• 4:00H. Foley?

  Really?

• 4:00Speaker 01

  And, um, I meet up with him. It's pri- I probably finish up around 11:15.

• 4:06H. Foley?

  Ooh, it's a dive bar hour.

• 4:07Speaker 01

  Ooh, 11:15, Saturday night. Got some spots on your bell, couple of bucks burning a hole in my pocket, looking to take the edge off.

• 4:16H. Foley?

  You're gonna lay some money on a bar.

• 4:18Speaker 01

  I'm in the East Village.

• 4:19H. Foley?

  Uh-huh.

• 4:20Speaker 01

  Prime dive locale.

• 4:23H. Foley?

  That's where you wanna go. Tell you that right now.

• 4:26Speaker 01

  And I, I, yes and no, though. It's changed a lot, right? Because one of those bars over there on Second Ave got cool, I guess.

• 4:34H. Foley?

  The library, whatever it is?

• 4:35Speaker 01

  No, libraries are. It was a decent dive. A little trendy, a little cool guy dive, but a solid dive.

• 4:42H. Foley?

  What do you, what do you mean, exactly?

• 4:44Speaker 01

  Uh, place called Cooper's.

• 4:47H. Foley?

  Cooper's?

• 4:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's on Second, it's like a bar-

• 4:50H. Foley?

  On Second and Fifth?

• 4:51Speaker 01

  Yeah. That place got cool.

• 4:53H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 4:54Speaker 01

  Right? And now there's a line, I mean, you probably know with your young, cool kids.

• 4:57Speaker 02

  I've been fucked up in there. Yeah, it stinks, though.

• 4:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's whatever. I'm not, nothing here nor there. It just recently got pretty hot. Cause I've been walking between New York Comic Clubs on 24th and 4th, right down Second Avenue for years.

• 5:08H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  And I've never seen a line. There was a line of about a hundred people to get in-

• 5:13H. Foley?

  A line for Cooper's?

• 5:13Speaker 01

  To get in that joint.

• 5:14H. Foley?

  Wait, this must've just happened, then?

• 5:16Speaker 01

  I feel like, I mean, it's always-

• 5:17Speaker 02

  It's like a popular, like, kind of Saturday brunch, kinda hanging out all day, drinking.

• 5:22Speaker 01

  It must've recently got cool, like, cool to the point where I've never seen a line.

• 5:27Speaker 01

  These nuked these, these fucking, these kids. You know what I mean?

• 5:30H. Foley?

  I can't stand that.

• 5:31Speaker 01

  What do you want? They go in, it's, it's, it's, you know, whatever. That all aside, all the dives around there now-

• 5:37H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 5:38Speaker 01

  Have gotten infiltrated and are packed with these people that can't get in, or they, eh, we're gonna go to wherever, and then, you know, you know how like, uh, the Cellar has all like those- The comedy, all the comedy stuff that pops up around it.

• 5:51H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 5:51Speaker 01

  Gets all filled with the run over from the cellar. Similar to this, we, so we went to like four different of our dives and they were all just piled in with fucking new guy looks and their, their sperrys and their fucking.

• 6:02H. Foley?

  You were at the 206 version of, uh, Coopers?

• 6:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, we were trying, I mean, we weren't, obviously we don't want to go to Coopers, but all of our normal haunts, the fish bar, which is like, I think it's called, I don't even, that's the good thing about a dive, especially in New York, you're just like, oh, I know it's midway up the, I've walked by it a bunch, you can just, yeah, there's no signage, there's no.

• 6:20H. Foley?

  That, the shade.

• 6:21Speaker 01

  You pop in, you pop out.

• 6:22H. Foley?

  That, that shade bar is sometimes tough to get into too.

• 6:25Speaker 01

  Very much so, but that's not a dive, that's a, that's a classy establishment.

• 6:27H. Foley?

  No, of course.

• 6:29Speaker 01

  For a guy like me, it's a classy.

• 6:30H. Foley?

  What I think dive, I think places that you like to go to get all fucked up. To a degree, unless it's Gallagher's.

• 6:36Speaker 01

  Sure. Which I bumped into, I was in, I was in Central Park this.

• 6:40H. Foley?

  Pumped into me?

• 6:41Speaker 01

  No, what?

• 6:42H. Foley?

  You didn't say hi?

• 6:43Speaker 01

  What, Jerry? Uh, I was walking.

• 6:47H. Foley?

  Have you ever done that, by the way?

• 6:48Speaker 01

  What?

• 6:49H. Foley?

  You ever walked by, see me anywhere and didn't say anything? I bet you have.

• 6:52Speaker 01

  No.

• 6:53H. Foley?

  I respect it.

• 6:54Speaker 01

  No, that's crazy, dude.

• 6:55H. Foley?

  I'm wearing a cape.

• 6:58Speaker 01

  Um, no, but I was in Central Park this weekend and, uh, I was, uh, I was pushing the baby, trying to get him to sleep, he likes to be moving, it's nap time and this, I'm walking by and this, this like a young couple, kid. And he's like, holy shit, Kippy, I'm like, what's up, man? Like I'm trying to be like, fuck, I, dude, the baby's eyes are like closing, nodding, I was like, huge fan, can I get a picture? I'm like, yeah, what's up, dude? I don't, thanks for the support, you know, like trying to, I don't want to tell him no.

• 7:28H. Foley?

  Young kid?

• 7:29Speaker 01

  Young girl.

• 7:29H. Foley?

  Look at you!

• 7:30Speaker 01

  Nah, I mean, look at me.

• 7:32H. Foley?

  You ever go to Coopers?

• 7:34Speaker 01

  Could you get me a table at Coopers with new guy Luke? Um, he, uh, and then as he's taking, he's all jazzy, he's taking his pictures of the girl, goes, who is this? And I was like, ooh, alright, right back to reality. And she's like, uh, he's like, this is Kippy Kevin James Ryan. And she's like, I don't know.

• 7:51H. Foley?

  Oh, what the fuck?

• 7:52Speaker 01

  He's like, from Ari Garb. She's like, oh, we're going to Gallagher's tonight.

• 7:55H. Foley?

  Oh, she saw, she got it. Okay.

• 7:57Speaker 01

  I guess they were in town visiting herself.

• 7:59H. Foley?

  Nice. Nice.

• 8:00Speaker 01

  But.

• 8:00H. Foley?

  Thank God.

• 8:01Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:02H. Foley?

  That would have ruined everything.

• 8:03Speaker 01

  Needed a win. Fucking embarrassed me in front of my son. Ew, who are you?

• 8:07H. Foley?

  You look down and the baby's awake and he's just shaking his head.

• 8:09Speaker 01

  It's like, this guy stinks. Um.

• 8:12H. Foley?

  That's good.

• 8:13Speaker 01

  But it got me thinking as we were, we were going to dive to dive and, you know, some were too crowded, too loud, just whatever. It was.

• 8:21H. Foley?

  This Saturday?

• 8:21Speaker 01

  Saturday night.

• 8:22H. Foley?

  Saturday night?

• 8:23Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 8:24H. Foley?

  Now, are you doing one at least?

• 8:27Speaker 01

  No, we're not even, some of them are just like, you're like, I'm not fighting that. It's, imagine if you, the normal spots that we would go, you open the door or see through, it's just packed. And you're like, that's not what a dive, a dive should be. Everybody's at, gets a seat or half the group you're with gets a seat. And it's a very.

• 8:44H. Foley?

  Should be somewhat empty.

• 8:46Speaker 01

  It should, that was, of course, that's what I'm saying. There should be like, it shouldn't be wall to wall. And the great thing about a New York City dive is that like the transient, you get people that are coming, one for before dinner, one for after dinner. You got the guy who's posted up in the corner. You got a group of friends. It's like very, half the people are posted the fuck up. The other half are cycling in and out type thing. You know what I mean?

• 9:11H. Foley?

  So you, you, you balked at a couple of places?

• 9:13Speaker 01

  Oh, most of them.

• 9:15H. Foley?

  It's funny.

• 9:15Speaker 01

  It sucks.

• 9:16H. Foley?

  You did that to me. That was, that was a realization moment for me. We did that like, what, two Thursdays ago? When we did, when we did the cellar show and you went out for drinks afterwards. We went to like four places and didn't walk in.

• 9:29Speaker 01

  Me, you and Ari.

• 9:29H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 9:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, they were, I mean, that wasn't me. That was like, we were all looking to sit down and get a table and talk.

• 9:35H. Foley?

  I know. I personified it with you though. Getting old.

• 9:39Speaker 01

  I'm getting old.

• 9:39H. Foley?

  Yeah, a little bit.

• 9:40Speaker 01

  Sure, I'm an old man.

• 9:41H. Foley?

  You're not the young gunslinger you used to be. Kevin I know would have walked in there.

• 9:45Speaker 01

  Oh. Who's got 20 I can borrow.

• 9:48H. Foley?

  What stinks in here? Yeah.

• 9:50Speaker 01

  Uh, but yeah, I mean, we were looking for a table or whatever, but that, that's, uh, that was a bit of the impetus of, um, you know, the, the idea of what makes a good bar. We wanted to hear from the Patreon homies, stories of dive bars, what they like in a dive bar, the specials. I gotta be honest with you. The homies, the homies.

• 10:12H. Foley?

  Get you thirsty a little bit.

• 10:13Speaker 01

  Oh, buddy, it ain't, it ain't, you ain't lying, dog. Um, all right, let's see, let's get into it. This one's, uh, from Patty's Equal, Patty's Equal Dealer. That's pretty good.

• 10:23H. Foley?

  It's not, oh, Patty's Equal Dealer.

• 10:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 10:27H. Foley?

  Straight to the plug with her.

• 10:29Speaker 01

  This is, uh, the Black Horse London Pub in San Francisco. Like the name. Which we were in a, we were in a great dive in San Francisco.

• 10:39H. Foley?

  Where, where, where, what's the?

• 10:40Speaker 01

  Where was that? There was that guy that was driving around, said he was gonna come back and shoot the place or whatever. That's a dive bar.

• 10:46H. Foley?

  That's a dive bar. There's not some meth head driving around with bare feet in a, yeah.

• 10:50Speaker 01

  I think people are going, what's he up to? What's he up to?

• 10:53H. Foley?

  That was a nice dive.

• 10:54Speaker 01

  That was a dive. You walk in, I like a dive where that's kinda, not dangerous, but you go like, I'm walking in, there's regulars, they're eyeing me, they're, they're doing the inventory on me.

• 11:07H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 11:08Speaker 01

  And you kind of, they're a little miffed that you're there.

• 11:11H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 11:11Speaker 01

  You know, if you're going to a nude dive and like, who the fuck's this guy?

• 11:14H. Foley?

  Sure. They don't want you there.

• 11:16Speaker 01

  That's what I, that's what I'm saying. They're looking at me going.

• 11:19H. Foley?

  They're you looking at you.

• 11:20Speaker 01

  This is Back to the Future, dog. I'm trying to have sex with my mom.

• 11:24H. Foley?

  They wanna drink in an empty bar too.

• 11:26Speaker 01

  Of course.

• 11:26H. Foley?

  They don't want some hot shot coming in.

• 11:29Speaker 01

  Sure. Is that, is that what, is that how you peg me?

• 11:31H. Foley?

  It's New York City attitude.

• 11:32Speaker 01

  Uh, you were there too, yeah. Out there with the guy with no shoes on.

• 11:36H. Foley?

  Uh, I remember telling you that one time, one of the biggest, uh, faux pas me and my brother ever made, we went to a, like an after hours, late night bar in, somewhere in the city. And we had just come from dinner and this was like a friend of a friend that told us about this place.

• 11:52Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 11:52H. Foley?

  And me and him walked in there both wearing suits.

• 11:55Speaker 01

  Ah.

• 11:55H. Foley?

  We looked like FBI agents, like proper FBI agents.

• 11:59Speaker 01

  Nice speakeasy you got here.

• 12:01H. Foley?

  It was, it was after hours.

• 12:02Speaker 01

  Sure. Was it illegal after hour or no?

• 12:05H. Foley?

  Yeah, 100% illegal after hours.

• 12:08Speaker 01

  Gotcha.

• 12:09H. Foley?

  Lot of Irish.

• 12:10Speaker 01

  Gotcha.

• 12:11H. Foley?

  Lot of other things. You know what I'm saying?

• 12:14Speaker 01

  Sure. Why are you talking? Why are you acting like you're in the FBI right now, dude? What the fuck? Look over, you got a suit on.

• 12:21H. Foley?

  I'm trying to get you to say something on tape.

• 12:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, what else?

• 12:24H. Foley?

  We're not recording this.

• 12:26Speaker 01

  What else do you like, Kippy? Remember I told you about the thing? You said the guy?

• 12:30H. Foley?

  Yeah, you can really blow it in a dive bar and the dive bar is extremely unforgiving at bar faux pas.

• 12:36Speaker 01

  Well, that's, that's also, we have a lot of, a lot of people's submission of like, you know.

• 12:41H. Foley?

  And I've done every.

• 12:42Speaker 01

  I have all, a lot of them.

• 12:43H. Foley?

  A mean, hot dive bar bartender will, will ruin you.

• 12:50Speaker 01

  But that, dude, they're so, there's something so damaged out of people that drink at dive bars that that stern kind of bucks them broad.

• 12:59H. Foley?

  Wearing like a, a tank top with tattoos.

• 13:01Speaker 01

  Put you in her place. She's spinning the bottle opener on her hand. Oh yeah, hon? Enough hairspray to fucking put a hole in the oozie. Yeah, there's something, there's something that every dude's sitting there going, um, it's me, I could get her. I could get her. You can't. You can't and you won't. Um, but, uh, all right. So the Black Horse London Pub, San Francisco. It's about 10 feet by 20 feet, seven stools. That's.

• 13:30H. Foley?

  It's like Rayo's.

• 13:31Speaker 01

  You gotta know, it's one of the five families.

• 13:33H. Foley?

  Real who's who.

• 13:34Speaker 01

  Which can we get into Rayo's? Anybody out there get us into Rayo's?

• 13:37H. Foley?

  I can get us into Rayo's.

• 13:38Speaker 01

  You could get us into Rayo's.

• 13:39H. Foley?

  Yes.

• 13:40Speaker 01

  Who you calling?

• 13:42H. Foley?

  I can't get us. Put me in the spotlight, Dan.

• 13:45Speaker 01

  Hey, caught me lying.

• 13:47H. Foley?

  I know Luke can't.

• 13:49Speaker 01

  No, sir.

• 13:49H. Foley?

  That's right.

• 13:50Speaker 01

  No one can get us anywhere. I mean, we're like.

• 13:53H. Foley?

  That's crazy.

• 13:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, we're not, uh, we're not, we're well connected. If you need like a auto glass guy, a roofer. Like we're well connected as we, as you, I think it was you. It's like we're flat, we're Fight Club. Like we wash your dishes. We do that. That's what the homies and bozos are doing.

• 14:09H. Foley?

  I actually, um. I bet you, this is out there now. I bet you somebody hits us up with the rails.

• 14:16Speaker 01

  I think we tried this before.

• 14:18H. Foley?

  I, I think maybe Who Gears and you know, things are going. I think we will be.

• 14:21Speaker 01

  I think there's a lot of uh, who's who listening to the dive bar episode.

• 14:24H. Foley?

  I had that guy at the DMV hit me up. That's pretty powerful.

• 14:27Speaker 01

  I'm not saying he's not powerful. That guy can't get into rail. He's.

• 14:31H. Foley?

  Nah, he's up in Albany.

• 14:33Speaker 01

  Doing the Lord's work.

• 14:35H. Foley?

  He gets in a joint up there.

• 14:37Speaker 01

  Gets in a Cheesecake Factory, ate a nice table by the window.

• 14:40H. Foley?

  They get crowded on Thursdays.

• 14:42Speaker 01

  Um, uh, this, uh, alright, Black Horse London Pub. Owner, the owner ubers because he has no car to Costco every day. Loads up with beer.

• 14:50H. Foley?

  Holy shit.

• 14:51Speaker 01

  There's a bathtub behind the bar, fills it with ice, throws the beers in there. It's cash or Zelle only.

• 14:56H. Foley?

  Poo.

• 14:57Speaker 01

  He plays guitar behind the bar. If he likes you, you'll get a shot of Jameson. There's a framed one star Yelp review on the wall. Best dive around. Look at that.

• 15:06H. Foley?

  Wow.

• 15:07Speaker 01

  Dude, that's pretty sick. That's alright. That's what it. That was a lot like Old Man Hustle down in Lower East Side. That was a good dive too. Same size. We used to do comedy shows there. Ooh, I bombed there.

• 15:23H. Foley?

  Strippers too, right? Didn't they have strippers there?

• 15:26Speaker 01

  No.

• 15:26H. Foley?

  I don't remember that.

• 15:28Speaker 01

  I mean, maybe. I don't know.

• 15:29H. Foley?

  I'm thinking of that place in South Philly that.

• 15:30Speaker 01

  The Republican.

• 15:31H. Foley?

  Yes.

• 15:32Speaker 01

  Oh, man.

• 15:33H. Foley?

  Rough.

• 15:33Speaker 01

  I remember following a burlesque dancer there. God damn. If you, if you don't think I was funny. Before I said it, cans wiggling around in front of you.

• 15:42H. Foley?

  You can never follow a burlesque dancer for two reasons. One, if she's super hot. One, if she's super.

• 15:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:47H. Foley?

  Yeah. You're done.

• 15:48Speaker 01

  She's dead in the water.

• 15:50H. Foley?

  Dead in the water.

• 15:51Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, that's my kinda joint, man. That's a good time. The only problem with that, I would feel is like.

• 15:59H. Foley?

  I don't think you'd like the guitar player.

• 16:01Speaker 01

  If he was decent, I would love. Black Horse London Deli, it says too.

• 16:06H. Foley?

  What are you doing?

• 16:07Speaker 01

  I'd throw out a, throw out a fucking Italiano at you.

• 16:10H. Foley?

  I like a Black Forest ham.

• 16:11Speaker 01

  I like, I, I do. My favorite thing about a dive is that it's unwelcoming from the outside.

• 16:16H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 16:17Speaker 01

  It's going, we're in here, we're drowned in some sort. Like this isn't, you know.

• 16:21H. Foley?

  That's the only thing I say with the guitar player. Not anything against the guitar player. When you're in that kinda vibe, when you're in there, you want the jukebox. You wanna hit your tunes.

• 16:29Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. Yeah, you know, yeah. Especially that's small. You can't really check out of that either. You gotta be like, ah, great.

• 16:35H. Foley?

  I'm in there, get fucked up and go down some sad memory lane. You know what I mean?

• 16:40Speaker 01

  I know exactly.

• 16:42H. Foley?

  And you know what I need for that?

• 16:43Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 16:43H. Foley?

  Need some 70's hits. Cranking.

• 16:46Speaker 01

  Little Eagles.

• 16:47H. Foley?

  Eagles.

• 16:47Speaker 01

  Little Don Henley.

• 16:48H. Foley?

  Little Boston, little Chicago.

• 16:49Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 16:50H. Foley?

  Need them all.

• 16:51Speaker 01

  Um, alright, let's see here. This one's from Blaine. Is it garbage to have a friend whose wake and memorial service was held at a dive bar? There was a bunch of tip jars with my dead friend's face taped to them scattered throughout the bar? That's how I wanna go, dude.

• 17:06H. Foley?

  Yeah?

• 17:06Speaker 01

  Put that in the... I've always said I want a proper I- I wanna be at the- I wanna be on the pool table at the bar.

• 17:12H. Foley?

  I can't. I wouldn't be able to go to that. I couldn't see you like that.

• 17:16Speaker 01

  Holy...

• 17:18Speaker 01

  Buddy, I don't wanna break your bubble. I don't think you're gonna see me like that.

• 17:21H. Foley?

  Fuck! You know, I'm not gonna get invited?

• 17:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's what I mean. I'll meet you.

• 17:26H. Foley?

  You might be busy that day.

• 17:28Speaker 01

  For eternity. You might be busy that eternity. Um, yeah, I- that's- that would be a nice, uh, I don't know, I guess who's the cash go to the... To the family? Grease the family?

• 17:41H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 17:42Speaker 01

  I mean, I think if you're having it there, I don't think there was like a, you know...

• 17:47H. Foley?

  Oh, I mean, I think you-

• 17:47Speaker 01

  I don't think there's a proper, like, estate plan.

• 17:49H. Foley?

  I'm s- I thought you meant if you did it.

• 17:51Speaker 01

  No.

• 17:51H. Foley?

  Oh, I was gonna say-

• 17:52Speaker 01

  Kind of, no, I don't expect you to tip my family.

• 17:56H. Foley?

  What the fuck do you think? Yeah, it's going to pay for the goddamn funeral!

• 17:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, I like that.

• 17:59H. Foley?

  Of course!

• 18:00Speaker 01

  That's alright.

• 18:00H. Foley?

  That cash is getting turned over real quick.

• 18:02Speaker 01

  That's kinda scary.

• 18:03H. Foley?

  See what's left over.

• 18:06Speaker 02

  You gotta- you gotta make it a 50/50.

• 18:09Speaker 01

  Listen, I love, I mean, why, I- we check the legality of that, of running a 50/50 at the live shows, which I would love to do.

• 18:18H. Foley?

  I thought we tried to, and they said no.

• 18:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think there's like, it's like lottery-esque.

• 18:23H. Foley?

  Didn't we try to do that at a casino or something like that?

• 18:25Speaker 01

  No.

• 18:26H. Foley?

  Oh.

• 18:26Speaker 01

  At a casino?

• 18:27H. Foley?

  I thought we did. Got our own operation back-

• 18:29Speaker 01

  What are we, working opinions? What are you talking about?

• 18:32H. Foley?

  We got our own operation back there.

• 18:34Speaker 01

  Um, that's really good. I really like a nice shitty-

• 18:41Speaker 01

  And that's also just how my family mourns. It is very like, we're gonna sit around and have drinks. Even like the, you came to my stepdad's. Did you or did you?

• 18:50H. Foley?

  Nah, I wasn't able to go.

• 18:53H. Foley?

  I was at the church.

• 18:54Speaker 01

  You were at the church. You didn't come to the thing. It's like even when you're there doing like the meal or like the luncheon, everybody's just going. Just closed circles like, let's clean this out, saddle up at a bar and fucking,

• 19:05H. Foley?

  Shoot them back.

• 19:06Speaker 01

  Shoot them back.

• 19:08H. Foley?

  No conversation really.

• 19:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:10H. Foley?

  Unless, you know. No.

• 19:14H. Foley?

  Having the conversation, you know what I mean?

• 19:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:16H. Foley?

  Giving the, "Yeah, well, you know, this and that."

• 19:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:19H. Foley?

  Let's get to the nitty gritty.

• 19:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get, yeah, yeah. All the glad handing, get out of here.

• 19:23H. Foley?

  Yeah, I would have to assume that that money's going straight to the family.

• 19:26Speaker 01

  What time?

• 19:27H. Foley?

  Paying that tab.

• 19:28Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:29H. Foley?

  Baby, the tab's probably, give me a couple of days later. I know you're good for it.

• 19:33Speaker 01

  You would, you would hope. You would hope. If it's part of the community, you would hope.

• 19:36H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 19:37Speaker 01

  Hey, get it to me when you got it.

• 19:38H. Foley?

  Richie was in here every night.

• 19:39Speaker 01

  If you got hair, whatever. We'll call you, something like that.

• 19:41H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 19:42Speaker 01

  Take care of the guys.

• 19:43H. Foley?

  I can see the owner bartending, you know, he came in to do it.

• 19:45Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 19:46H. Foley?

  Yeah, I like that.

• 19:47Speaker 01

  Good shit.

• 19:47H. Foley?

  That's how you wanna go, huh?

• 19:49Speaker 01

  What are you, surrounded by my loved ones and community?

• 19:52H. Foley?

  Gotcha.

• 19:52Speaker 01

  Doing, you know, watching everybody do what I, what I loved the most?

• 19:58H. Foley?

  You got cheese steak, egg rolls all over your body? Like a sushi thing?

• 20:01Speaker 01

  Bunch of ketchup in my asshole.

• 20:06H. Foley?

  Kids, grab a bite off Kippy.

• 20:09Speaker 01

  Don't be scared.

• 20:10H. Foley?

  Oh my god.

• 20:11Speaker 01

  I'm off dude, I'm even, I look, I'm all pale and shit. Now, give me a spray tan if you fucking, if you put me out there.

• 20:18H. Foley?

  Okay, I gotcha, I gotcha.

• 20:19Speaker 01

  If I get at least, you know what I mean? Do the hair, do something?

• 20:22H. Foley?

  Yeah, you gotta get a spray tan.

• 20:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:25H. Foley?

  They don't do that enough.

• 20:25Speaker 01

  Why don't they do that?

• 20:26H. Foley?

  I don't know.

• 20:27Speaker 01

  They put the ma- they cake the makeup on it. Hit them with a spray tan, Hollywood.

• 20:31H. Foley?

  If you, if you die without a tan and then you're, and then you're in there chilling with shades on. All tanned up.

• 20:37Speaker 01

  Maybe a little fucking zinc on the nose.

• 20:38H. Foley?

  He's getting back from Miami.

• 20:40Speaker 01

  Getting ready for hell.

• 20:43H. Foley?

  That's pretty good.

• 20:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:45H. Foley?

  That's pretty good.

• 20:46Speaker 01

  That's not bad.

• 20:47H. Foley?

  That's really good. Kev, we gotta tell them about Aura Frames.

• 22:15Speaker 01

  Shout out to Warby Paka.

• 22:17H. Foley?

  I used to see Warby Parker and think like, "I'm not cool enough to wear Warby Parker."

• 22:22Speaker 01

  I also would see Warby Parker and go, "Foley's not cool enough to wear Warby Parker."

• 22:25H. Foley?

  100, here's the thing, you are.

• 22:26Speaker 01

  You're wrong, baby.

• 22:28H. Foley?

  They're fashionable, they're durable, and the price is unbelievable. You know what else Warby Parker has? I'm a big glasses guy. I've been wearing glasses all my life. Problem with me is, I go to the, you know, I go to the place.

• 22:40Speaker 01

  The place.

• 22:40H. Foley?

  And they just have the cheapest frames that are out of style, that I look like a bozo. I look like I'm working in Area 51, walking around. Warby Parker, you got the virtual try it on?

• 22:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 22:51H. Foley?

  See what it looks like on ya? Absolutely fantastic. If you're in the market for some glasses, some sunglasses, whatever you need, go over to Warby Parker, get yourself straightened out, do yourself a favor. What cold is spring?

• 23:02Speaker 01

  Yes, Warby Parker doesn't just offer incredible prescription glasses, they have everything you need for happier eyes. That includes contacts, online eye exams, and sunglasses.

Warby Parker has distributed over, get this, 20 million pairs of glasses to people in need through its Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. That's giving back, dog.

• 23:26H. Foley?

  Giving back.

• 23:27Speaker 01

  That's because they care, they're good.

• 23:29H. Foley?

  They care.

• 23:30Speaker 01

  It's not all about profits, they're giving back.

• 23:31H. Foley?

  Not all about profits.

• 23:45H. Foley?

  Damn.

• 23:46Speaker 01

  Alright, let's see here. In the same, in the same rain, and this is, this would be an honor. This is from John. "My local bar has a memorial plaque on one of the stools. It was the regular's everyday seat. He died after he got drunk and fell off his roof."

• 24:02H. Foley?

  Jesus.

• 24:03Speaker 01

  Tough way to go out, but great way to remember a guy.

• 24:06H. Foley?

  Sure, yeah.

• 24:07Speaker 01

  They don't do, I feel like, I would love to see that more. Even for a more, sorry, more common, maybe not like the everyday guy, but...

• 24:15H. Foley?

  Yeah, we had those at Martell's where you could buy, you could get like a plaque in front of the bar. You could like sponsor a seat. Does that make sense?

• 24:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:24H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 24:25Speaker 01

  Then did you have, kind of...

• 24:26H. Foley?

  There was regulars up there?

• 24:28Speaker 01

  No, but like if you sponsor the seat, that you come in, that's your seat?

• 24:31H. Foley?

  Kinda, yeah.

• 24:32Speaker 01

  You can't bounce a guy, if a guy's sitting there, though.

• 24:35H. Foley?

  No, you didn't bounce anybody. No, it was more like, um, yeah, it was more like just having your name on the bar. Does that make sense?

• 24:41Speaker 01

  Gotcha.

• 24:42H. Foley?

  And little, little gold lettering.

• 24:43Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kinda like, I always, you do the bench.

• 24:46H. Foley?

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

• 24:47Speaker 01

  The bench at the boardwalk, it's like in honor of Joe and Pop Pop or whatever.

• 24:51H. Foley?

  My family has one of those. My cousins for their mom and dad, on Seattle's boardwalk.

• 24:55Speaker 01

  Very nice.

• 24:56H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 24:57Speaker 01

  There, that's prime real estate.

• 25:01H. Foley?

  The house is right there, too.

• 25:02Speaker 01

  Well, are they horse thieves or something?

• 25:04H. Foley?

  Did well. We're the other side. My mom goes down there all the time, Shaq's up.

• 25:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:12H. Foley?

  They let her down there for a week, give her down there for a week.

• 25:14Speaker 01

  Keep on a short lease, I'm sure.

• 25:15H. Foley?

  They take care of her, you know? Patty goes down, "I'm just gonna stay." There was that one year I got the shore house for a week. Yeah.

• 25:24Speaker 01

  Kinda remember that.

• 25:25H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 25:28Speaker 01

  You going down at all this summer, you think?

• 25:29H. Foley?

  I don't think so.

• 25:34H. Foley?

  You know where to find me this summer.

• 25:35Speaker 01

  Just checking, dog. Uh, alright, let's see.

• 25:42Speaker 01

  Uh, this one's from Delaware Cousin. Uh, $10, uh, homie. "In the Denver area, there was a bar we called the sewer because it always smells like shit."

• 25:52H. Foley?

  I hate that.

• 25:53Speaker 01

  "But the PBRs are cheap." That's a true mark of a dirtbag.

• 25:57H. Foley?

  I know. Couldn't do it.

• 25:58Speaker 01

  You get used to it. You do get used to it.

• 26:01H. Foley?

  We've drank in plenty of bars that you smelled the plumbing.

• 26:04Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 26:04H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 26:05Speaker 01

  Smelling the plumbing and tasting the taps are bad for me. I can't... I've, I've done it too, too, too much for too long that I... The taps, if I'm a bottle and ca... I'd take anything out of a bottle and can at this point over a draft.

• 26:22H. Foley?

  However, there is the thing sometimes where you get a bottle and you taste the lid.

• 26:26Speaker 01

  Well, that's when we, that's where we were...

• 26:30H. Foley?

  Was that in Poughkeepsie?

• 26:31Speaker 01

  Poughkeepsie? No, the frolic room.

• 26:34H. Foley?

  Oh, yeah?

• 26:34Speaker 01

  They were giving me... I was drinking Bud heavies and I guess they weren't, they were like rusted. Sometimes those caps are like, if they're underwater or so, they're...

• 26:43H. Foley?

  I didn't notice that those were screamers.

• 26:45Speaker 01

  The cap was rust and you're just like, you're tasting, it was somewhere, I was like, I can't.

• 26:49H. Foley?

  I don't know if it was there. We were pretty happy with those beers.

• 26:51Speaker 01

  Drinking nickels. Nah, I think at one point I did switch over, though.

• 26:55H. Foley?

  Hmm.

• 26:55Speaker 01

  But yeah, that happens sometimes. You get the, you get an old bottle that's been sitting there since like the fucking Clinton administration.

• 27:00H. Foley?

  Yeah. That's what happens when the, when the ice turns to water. It starts floating.

• 27:06Speaker 01

  Just think about how many times that happens at a fucking bad bar. Especially if you go like a little obscure.

• 27:11H. Foley?

  The shit from last night, in the morning you get the shit from last night?

• 27:16H. Foley?

  Bad news.

• 27:17Speaker 01

  Tough. Um... "They have PBR bottles with playing card icons like the ace of spade and the jack of clubs under the cap."

• 27:27H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 27:27Speaker 01

  Do PBR bottles suck?

• 27:29H. Foley?

  I didn't even know that.

• 27:30Speaker 01

  They taste like the fucking, they taste more like the bottle.

• 27:34H. Foley?

  Really?

• 27:34Speaker 01

  And lid than anything I've ever had. Yeah, it's, they're not great. I wanna say, they have them at a great dive bar, uh, the Sly Fox. I wanna say they have them.

• 27:46H. Foley?

  It's a good name.

• 27:46Speaker 01

  Which is that Ukrainian, it's right next to, you know where that little Ukraine is on Second Avenue?

• 27:51H. Foley?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 27:51Speaker 01

  Man, you go in there.

• 27:52H. Foley?

  I've eaten at the little Ukraine.

• 27:55Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But this is like their, it's like $2 nickel P. It's something crazy. You go in late night, they give you, they give you clear solo plastic cup, uh, plastic solo cups. That's how you know a beer's not gonna stay cold when it's handed to you in a clear plastic cup.

• 28:13H. Foley?

  You want that in a coffee cup or a thermos?

• 28:16Speaker 01

  It's, and the bathroom isn't in

• 28:21Speaker 01

  the bar.

• 28:21H. Foley?

  I hate that.

• 28:22Speaker 01

  You have to go into like this back annex that connects to the whole building, then go down. You go down a hall, it's like an office building.

• 28:28H. Foley?

  I hate an annex.

• 28:29Speaker 01

  It's not good.

• 28:30H. Foley?

  Never an annex.

• 28:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's bad.

• 28:32H. Foley?

  Never.

• 28:32Speaker 01

  Um, but PBR bottles with playing card icons like the ace of spades and jack of clubs under the cap. If you guess the right card, you get the beer for free.

• 28:41H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 28:41Speaker 01

  That's what we're talking about.

• 28:43H. Foley?

  That's a deal.

• 28:43Speaker 01

  That keeps you there.

• 28:44H. Foley?

  How you make money?

• 28:45Speaker 01

  What? The thing goes, the thing is, if you stick around and drink enough of them, it'll give you a few clues so you eventually get the freebie. That's pretty good.

• 28:56H. Foley?

  That's alright.

• 28:57Speaker 01

  They'll be like, eh, this is one, they, they know what they're giving you, I guess. Also, one time we saw a couple of their mid 50s, 50s, 60s making it out at the bar drunk at 4:30 on a Thursday night. There you go.

• 29:07H. Foley?

  That's love right there.

• 29:08Speaker 01

  Buddy.

• 29:09H. Foley?

  That's love.

• 29:09Speaker 01

  It's like two cockroaches going at it.

• 29:11H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 29:12Speaker 01

  That's alright.

• 29:14H. Foley?

  Yeah. God love them.

• 29:15Speaker 01

  Uh, I, the, I wanna say the, the Copa Banana out there on like 40th and Walnut or something like that. I don't know if it's still around. There was a couple of Copas in Philly, remember that?

• 29:27H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 29:28Speaker 01

  There was the Copa Cabana.

• 29:29H. Foley?

  I thought you were talking about the Copa Cabana, the song you were singing it.

• 29:32Speaker 01

  No, no, this is, uh, this was called the Copa Banana.

• 29:35H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 29:37Speaker 01

  The Copa Ban, what do you got, Luke?

• 29:38Speaker 02

  4000 Spruce Street?

• 29:39Speaker 01

  That's, yeah, it'd be 40-

• 29:40H. Foley?

  4,000?

• 29:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, it'd be 40th and Spruce.

• 29:43H. Foley?

  Alright.

• 29:44Speaker 01

  4,000, I think, right?

• 29:47H. Foley?

  Yeah, it'd be 40th and Spruce.

• 29:48Speaker 01

  Cause 400 would be 4th and Spruce.

• 29:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, this one's, uh, Copa Banana, University City.

• 29:53Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 29:54H. Foley?

  Right.

• 29:54Speaker 01

  And they would do dollar lions heads. And the lions heads had the mammograms? No, pictogram, pictograms. They had the puzzles. It'd be like a picture of a pyramid and an eyeball and a what?

• 30:05H. Foley?

  On the cap?

• 30:06Speaker 01

  On the cap.

• 30:07H. Foley?

  I don't remember that.

• 30:07Speaker 01

  And you would open it. I think there was a thing, if you guessed it, you got something. Like Shaw, you got something, I remember that.

• 30:13H. Foley?

  You know where lions heads brewed? Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

• 30:16Speaker 01

  Wilkes-Barre, yeah.

• 30:17H. Foley?

  Right.

• 30:19Speaker 01

  Are they still banging? Lion's Head?

• 30:22H. Foley?

  Thought they were owned by Stegmeier Yingling or something like that.

• 30:25Speaker 01

  Stegmeier?

• 30:25H. Foley?

  Stegmeier.

• 30:26Speaker 01

  Oh, that-

• 30:27H. Foley?

  Ever heard of Stegmeier beer? It's old beer in, uh, Wilkes-Barre.

• 30:31Speaker 01

  Why the fuck- I'll bear a Wilbur Stegmeier.

• 30:35Speaker 02

  Still banging.

• 30:36H. Foley?

  Still banging Lion's Head.

• 30:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, Wilkes-Barre.

• 30:38Speaker 01

  Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes-Barre.

• 30:40H. Foley?

  Well, there you go. Take that, Luke.

• 30:42Speaker 02

  A college favorite beer.

• 30:43H. Foley?

  Is it?

• 30:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 30:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 30:45Speaker 02

  Very budget friendly.

• 30:46Speaker 01

  It was nine bucks for a 24-pack.

• 30:49H. Foley?

  Cans?

• 30:50Speaker 01

  Bottles.

• 30:50H. Foley?

  What?

• 30:51Speaker 01

  They were only doing bottles. They weren't doing cans.

• 30:52H. Foley?

  Oh, that's right. It's a bottling facility.

• 30:54Speaker 02

  Now it's 15.79.

• 30:55H. Foley?

  There you go.

• 30:56Speaker 01

  That's not that big, cuz that was fucking 20, almost 20 years ago. Eighteen years ago.

• 31:02H. Foley?

  Brewed and bottled in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania?

• 31:04Speaker 01

  God, a bit. They outsources the India or something?

• 31:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:09H. Foley?

  What?

• 31:09Speaker 02

  I mean, the brewery's at, in Wilkes-Barre, so I assume they're doing it all in-house.

• 31:13H. Foley?

  Sick.

• 31:14Speaker 01

  They don't have money to be shipping it around. That's a, that's a fucking, uh, good operation.

• 31:20H. Foley?

  It's alright.

• 31:21Speaker 01

  Um, it's no garage beers, but it'll do.

• 31:24H. Foley?

  Shout out to garage beers.

• 31:25Speaker 01

  Shout out to them. Which I gotta, I wanna get my hands on some of them. They sent a, I just saw they released some of the bottles, but like a big like-

• 31:30H. Foley?

  Ooh, really?

• 31:31Speaker 01

  Like a quart bottle.

• 31:32H. Foley?

  No shit.

• 31:33Speaker 01

  Imagine like a big red stripe bottle.

• 31:34H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 31:35Speaker 01

  You know what I mean?

• 31:36H. Foley?

  My dad was big on the quarts.

• 31:37Speaker 01

  The quart.

• 31:38H. Foley?

  He would bring- Yeah, every once in a while. He wouldn't drink that much at the house, but he would bring home, like, two random quarts. Like a quart of Coors Light and like a course, a quart of, uh, I don't know.

• 31:49Speaker 01

  They stopped doing it when I was like, I, we didn't see them, really.

• 31:53H. Foley?

  Really?

• 31:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, no.

• 31:55H. Foley?

  Why?

• 31:55Speaker 01

  I mean, I'm not saying they stopped completely. They just, it became the smaller bottle. Cuz I remember my dad would always be like, "Yeah, you, you..." I'd be like 10 or 12 or whatever, my, somebody'd be like, "Oh, you and your friend go get a couple quarts of beer?" Like, "What the fuck? Quarter beer? What the fuck you talking about, old man?" I'm, we, we do cans, we do pounders, and we do a double deuce.

• 32:14H. Foley?

  I think they started, they became too menacing. They're just, you looking at it, you're like, "Yeah, it's gonna be bad news at some point tonight."

• 32:20Speaker 01

  But we, they still did 40s.

• 32:21H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 32:27H. Foley?

  Is what it is.

• 32:27Speaker 01

  I haven't done a forty in a minute. Maybe I'll start doing forties again.

• 32:31H. Foley?

  I do.

• 32:31Speaker 01

  Imagine me walking out on stage with a forty. I put it on the stool, chugging that thing.

• 32:36H. Foley?

  Sips out of it.

• 32:38Speaker 01

  That's alright.

• 32:39H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 32:39Speaker 01

  Um.

• 32:40H. Foley?

  A forty of St. Ives will do the trick. I can tell you that.

• 32:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, um.

• 32:45H. Foley?

  Put you to sleep.

• 32:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, we used to do hurricanes at the corner store in, uh, North Philly at Temple. We're two fifty. So we, five bucks. Two fifths, and we'd each do one, maybe two if you were like real, and then, that was the pregame.

• 33:02H. Foley?

  Damn.

• 33:03Speaker 01

  You go out, fuck it, you're already fucking.

• 33:05H. Foley?

  Out with two hurricanes?

• 33:06Speaker 01

  I mean.

• 33:06H. Foley?

  That's a category five right there. Look out!

• 33:09Speaker 01

  Call Luke Combs.

• 33:11Speaker 02

  Did you ever do the sidewalk slammer?

• 33:15H. Foley?

  About to do one to you.

• 33:16Speaker 01

  This is new age shit.

• 33:17H. Foley?

  Asking you stupid questions.

• 33:18Speaker 01

  You know me a long time. You ever think I walk around going, "I'll do T sidewalk slammers"?

• 33:22Speaker 02

  It's a custom thing.

• 33:23H. Foley?

  And a kamikaze shot?

• 33:25Speaker 01

  No, what is it?

• 33:26Speaker 02

  OG Four Loko. Half, half, you drink half the forty and then you pour half the, uh, Four Loko in there.

• 33:33Speaker 01

  We were too old for that shit.

• 33:35H. Foley?

  God, I wanna beat you up so bad right now.

• 33:37Speaker 02

  You don't like cool stuff, man.

• 33:38H. Foley?

  Is that like, is that the two forties taped to your hands?

• 33:41Speaker 01

  That's Edward Forty Hands.

• 33:42H. Foley?

  Walking around Penn State like a goddamn asshole?

• 33:44Speaker 02

  That's a goddamn staple.

• 33:45Speaker 01

  That's, you gotta try it at least once. Every alcoholic in his, early in his career needs to try it, specifically college. Me and my boy got locked in his dorm room. It was the, I told you, it was the doorknob, not like a, and we couldn't, we were, but we both taped ourselves up.

• 33:58H. Foley?

  How did you both get them on each other?

• 34:00Speaker 01

  He did it. I don't remember. Maybe someone else did it and then left.

• 34:02H. Foley?

  He taped you first and then did himself?

• 34:05Speaker 01

  I guess, or maybe his, his roommate did it, but then his roommate bounced.

• 34:10Speaker 01

  I think that his, his, his roommate.

• 34:12H. Foley?

  Did you guys just sit there and get fucked up?

• 34:13Speaker 01

  Yeah, his roommate noof. He's dead now. No, noofs, I think still alive. No, my, boy, he died.

• 34:19H. Foley?

  The guy?

• 34:20Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 34:20H. Foley?

  Whoa. Of?

• 34:22Speaker 01

  I mean.

• 34:23H. Foley?

  Category five.

• 34:27H. Foley?

  I'm with you.

• 34:28Speaker 01

  I mean, you know, protect the innocent.

• 34:31H. Foley?

  God, they only, they only go a couple of ways around this, huh?

• 34:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's usually south. I was, dude, I bumped into a friend of, uh, you know, who I, who has known in a while, I haven't talked to in a while, and, uh, she was like, "Oh, how's like, you know, all your friends?" I know her from college. She's like, "Oh, how are all your friends, how so and so and so?" And so I'm like, phew, couple of fucking swings and misses. I mean, everybody's doing alright.

• 34:56H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 34:56Speaker 01

  But there's also like, there's, everybody's doing okay, and then there's also like, below the curve.

• 35:02H. Foley?

  Wait, really? With your squad now? Is it the squad I know?

• 35:06Speaker 01

  Yeah, but still not, I mean.

• 35:07H. Foley?

  Huh. I wouldn't know the guys that aren't doing great.

• 35:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, you didn't meet the guys that are no longer with us, are not doing great, or maybe you have and I'm, I don't know. Maybe, maybe you've been banging, running with the wrong crowd, I don't know.

• 35:20H. Foley?

  I'm out with them. That's funny.

• 35:22Speaker 01

  Um, yeah, yeah, there's,

• 35:27Speaker 01

  yeah, it's, but it made me realize it.

• 35:29H. Foley?

  I'm just glad there wasn't a "How's Foley doing?"

• 35:31Speaker 01

  Uh, there was.

• 35:32H. Foley?

  There was?

• 35:33Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 35:33H. Foley?

  Fuck! Let's lay off of those for a little while, okay?

• 35:37Speaker 01

  I mean, I'm not telling, you know, whatever.

• 35:40H. Foley?

  Say you haven't seen me.

• 35:42Speaker 01

  I don't know, he shows up and he leaves.

• 35:45H. Foley?

  That's the one everybody starts saying.

• 35:47Speaker 01

  Uh-huh. Um, alright, this, well, this is a great name. This is from Deep Fried Foley. What a name.

• 35:53H. Foley?

  Love that. Dude, this- Deep Fried Foley. That's a deep fried hot dog with onions, mustard, and chili sauce.

• 35:59Speaker 01

  You just make that up?

• 36:01H. Foley?

  Yeah, right there. That's a deep fried Foley. There's a place out in Jersey that does deep fried dogs.

• 36:06Speaker 01

  You know what? We kinda had this idea, we should, to do,

• 36:10H. Foley?

  Hot dogs?

• 36:11Speaker 01

  A pop-up. We'll do Toody's Dogs one weekend, and we can rent a space, put a hot dog cart in there, whatever.

• 36:16H. Foley?

  We did talk about doing that.

• 36:17Speaker 01

  And we should just do it.

• 36:19H. Foley?

  You think it a food handler's license? We'll use gloves. I want people to be comfortable eating the food.

• 36:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:26H. Foley?

  So I'm gonna make the chili sauce.

• 36:28Speaker 01

  Alright, we're out.

• 36:29H. Foley?

  What? I told you I was doing that from Jump Street.

• 36:31Speaker 01

  Chili sauce, now with more fingernails.

• 36:33H. Foley?

  No.

• 36:33Speaker 01

  And a bandage.

• 36:34H. Foley?

  See, you start saying that, you're bad press. You just close down.

• 36:36Speaker 01

  Any press is good press. What are you talking about?

• 36:39H. Foley?

  Yeah, I'll make it. My dad's recipe.

• 36:43H. Foley?

  I'll do, I'll do a deep fried Foley.

• 36:45Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 36:47H. Foley?

  You have a deep fryer?

• 36:47Speaker 01

  I don't think so. I'll have to check in the back, but I'm not sure.

• 36:53H. Foley?

  Now, where's the storeroom at?

• 36:55Speaker 01

  Uh, alright, deep fried Foley. What a na- this, this name for a-

• 36:59H. Foley?

  Home run.

• 37:00Speaker 01

  No, for a, a, a, a-

• 37:02H. Foley?

  Diet bar?

• 37:03Speaker 01

  Snapper McGee's.

• 37:04H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 37:06Speaker 01

  See if you can pull up Snapper McGee's in Kingston. I would assume that would be Kingston, New York. I don't know though.

• 37:11H. Foley?

  Kingston, PA?

• 37:12Speaker 01

  Or, I think there's, there's probably a lot of Kingston.

• 37:14Speaker 02

  Came up quick.

• 37:14Speaker 01

  Snapper McGee's?

• 37:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:16Speaker 01

  New York or PA?

• 37:17Speaker 02

  Uh, New York.

• 37:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, Kingston, New York.

• 37:21Speaker 01

  Do live music? Snapper McGee's, Kingston, New York. Good booze is their men- is their-

• 37:27H. Foley?

  Damn.

• 37:28Speaker 01

  That's alright.

• 37:28H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 37:29Speaker 01

  You want low outside light.

• 37:31H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 37:32Speaker 01

  Decent neon signs.

• 37:34H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 37:35Speaker 01

  Stickiness of the floor. You want, you know, you want some of that stuff, but-

• 37:38H. Foley?

  You want bad outside lighting, but when you walk in, you want to see, you want it to pop a little.

• 37:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, you also want, if you're going during the day, my favorite, my favorite about eight seconds is adjusting from the really bright outside to the really dark inside and you're going-

• 37:52H. Foley?

  Feel the cold.

• 37:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, you might get hit with a two by film, or you find out who's eyeballing you, you know what I mean?

• 37:56H. Foley?

  The thing, the experience I think about that is when we got fucked up at the, the Pirates Bar in LA.

• 38:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, there was no natural light in that place.

• 38:04H. Foley?

  And that was, that was so, it was so hot outside. We were so, like, looking forward to doing that. It was the first time we did it. Walked into that freezing cold dark space.

• 38:13Speaker 01

  And the guy was a fan. The guy's like, holy shit, what the hell? We were the only two people in the bar. It was a pirate themed bar, the only two people in there. We got fucking shellacked.

• 38:21H. Foley?

  Fucked up.

• 38:22Speaker 01

  Yeah. What are you guys doing? You just getting drunk or like, yeah, that's what we're doing? I mean, more pirate-

• 38:27H. Foley?

  You guys got big meetings out here, huh? Uh-huh?

• 38:31Speaker 01

  More pirate fries, please.

• 38:33H. Foley?

  Yeah. Just proper fucked up.

• 38:35Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 38:36H. Foley?

  Damn, that was fun.

• 38:37Speaker 01

  Um, Snapper McGee's in Kingston does a Thanksgiving shot on Thanksgiving Day. Shot of wild turkey, mixed with cranberry juice, juice and gravy from a jar. It's actually pretty good.

• 38:49H. Foley?

  Ugh.

• 38:50Speaker 01

  I think I might be with that.

• 38:51H. Foley?

  You had me for a second.

• 38:54Speaker 01

  I don't know. You don't, I mean, you don't think gravy's a goo- I mean, essentially, it's a, it's a chaser.

• 38:59H. Foley?

  I guess it probably does.

• 39:00Speaker 01

  It's a gravy back. Look at it that way. So it takes, it's gotta take the edge off.

• 39:04H. Foley?

  You know why I think it would work, or why I'm sure it works, is as odd as it is, the cranberry and gravy is, will be familiar to you as it goes down together.

• 39:12Speaker 01

  Of course.

• 39:12H. Foley?

  Wow. It's pretty good.

• 39:13Speaker 01

  That's not bad.

• 39:14H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 39:15Speaker 01

  Huh.

• 39:16H. Foley?

  Huh.

• 39:17Speaker 01

  Um, I would, I wouldn't mind trying one of those. I need, I, I need a, I need a good dive to make my own. I got shade, which is not a dive, but it's right, it's a quiet enough.

• 39:30H. Foley?

  I think in New York, you're in trouble.

• 39:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, New York's, New York has great dives, but it's, they're tough. There's none by me.

• 39:38H. Foley?

  They're cool now.

• 39:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, they're just, it's cool. It's cool for, that's what, that's what happened. It's cool for young kids to like, young rich kids to like slum it. Remember we, Niagara, they used to.

• 39:48H. Foley?

  I love you, buddy.

• 39:49Speaker 01

  They used to consider Niagara a dive. Like, the rich kids would be like, yeah.

• 39:53H. Foley?

  It was.

• 39:53Speaker 01

  Niagara wasn't a dive bar.

• 39:55H. Foley?

  What?

• 39:56Speaker 01

  Niagara was a bar.

• 39:57H. Foley?

  You think so?

• 39:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, Niagara wasn't a dive.

• 40:01H. Foley?

  Huh.

• 40:02Speaker 01

  The walls of Niagara are worth like $400,000.

• 40:06H. Foley?

  That's by accident. Some guy came in and got fucked up and drew on him. Doesn't matter, he's a famous artist. That's a dive bar.

• 40:12Speaker 01

  No, Saturday night, there would be, Saturday night, there was a bouncer, a line, and fucking, uh, like dudes in like pea coats and button ups there. Like, that's what it mainly turned into.

• 40:23H. Foley?

  I guess you're right.

• 40:24Speaker 01

  You know what I mean? It got, they just got, it became cool for guys like Luke. I, Luke's getting trashed in this one.

• 40:30H. Foley?

  I'm sorry, buddy.

• 40:30Speaker 01

  But it became, it became cool for.

• 40:31H. Foley?

  Taking a lot of heat for no reason?

• 40:32Speaker 02

  I won in 2022. That was exactly the vibe.

• 40:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, and that's him going like, oh, we're going to Niagara. It's real, it's not pretentious. We're gonna pop in and beers. Meanwhile, me and you were like, this is the nicest place I ever been.

• 40:44H. Foley?

  Trying to steal the wall.

• 40:46Speaker 01

  Cover me. Yeah, that was, uh.

• 40:48H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 40:49Speaker 02

  They had a DJ when we went there.

• 40:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, there's no DJ at dive bars.

• 40:52H. Foley?

  Better not be.

• 40:54Speaker 01

  Bad karaoke.

• 40:55H. Foley?

  Kev, we got time about BlueChew.

  Note. Let me see this. Is the number one tavern a dive bar?

• 43:55Speaker 01

  In Wildwood?

• 43:56H. Foley?

  No, in.

• 43:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:58H. Foley?

  Cambridge.

• 43:59Speaker 01

  Uh.

• 44:00H. Foley?

  Yeah, in Wild.

• 44:01Speaker 01

  Shout to the number one. Um, yes, I would say for, if that was anywhere else, yeah, but it's like, it's also a little kitschy because it's down the shore.

• 44:11H. Foley?

  If that was anywhere else.

• 44:13Speaker 01

  I mean, yeah, but there's not that many. There is a good amount of bars in Wildwood, obviously, but it's like, it is limited.

• 44:19H. Foley?

  I got you.

• 44:19Speaker 01

  So you're like, they can kind of just stay. It's kitschy at this point.

• 44:22H. Foley?

  If it was anywhere else.

• 44:23Speaker 01

  I mean.

• 44:24H. Foley?

  Anywhere else would be closed.

• 44:26Speaker 01

  Good point.

• 44:26H. Foley?

  Kidding me?

• 44:27Speaker 01

  Shout out to the number one.

• 44:27H. Foley?

  Shout out to it.

• 44:28Speaker 01

  I mean, they got all the marks. They have their own special drink. No, with, with Dirtbag lore, no one knows the ingredients.

• 44:34H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 44:35Speaker 01

  Uh, the, the owner, who I think recently passed, would show up every day and make it in vats by himself. Mark Tully. Shout out Mark Tully. Um, and then, uh, there's a golden tee.

• 44:48H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 44:49Speaker 01

  Screaming cold air conditioning.

• 44:51H. Foley?

  Screaming.

• 44:52Speaker 01

  Screaming cold.

• 44:52H. Foley?

  The back is crazy.

• 44:53Speaker 01

  Bad bathroom.

• 44:54H. Foley?

  Bad bathrooms.

• 44:55Speaker 01

  Uh.

• 44:56H. Foley?

  Bad, bad bar stool, bad cushioned bar stools around the tables in the back.

• 45:00Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 45:01H. Foley?

  Brutal.

• 45:01Speaker 01

  Brutal. Uh, the staff's got a bit of a toot to them.

• 45:05H. Foley?

  Love it.

• 45:05Speaker 01

  In a good, in a, in a lovely, endearing.

• 45:07H. Foley?

  Tables get covered in the, in the tully nut sauce.

• 45:10Speaker 01

  In the tully nut sauce. Um, cash only.

• 45:13H. Foley?

  Cash on the table.

• 45:14Speaker 01

  Cash on the, the.

• 45:15H. Foley?

  Wet cash on the table.

• 45:16Speaker 01

  Wet cash on the table. Kind of, that's a dive. I love it. But it is, I don't want to paint that a dive because it is kitschy and fu, it's still, it's got a lot of heart to it. It's not a dark dive. It's a fun, no one's really in there. Running from their, you know, there's not just like some old timer like, it's groups of people having fun.

• 45:36H. Foley?

  That's not you though, you like a dark dive, don't you?

• 45:37Speaker 01

  I like a dark.

• 45:38H. Foley?

  Like a dark dive in the middle of the day.

• 45:40Speaker 01

  Uh huh, I like it. The frolic room.

• 45:43H. Foley?

  Put on a little-

• 45:43Speaker 01

  The international bar.

• 45:45H. Foley?

  Put on a little Seeger and think about where it all went wrong.

• 45:49Speaker 01

  Um, this is for, this is, so this is from Steven. I actually made a list of one, one night while attending our local dive bar of what makes a good dive.

• 45:55H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 45:56Speaker 01

  Cold, cold air, he has cold, cold air conditioning. Ice cold beer.

• 46:01H. Foley?

  Uh huh.

• 46:01Speaker 01

  Uh huh. Dark atmosphere. Oh. You, this is, you wanna see the glow from outside when the doors open.

• 46:11H. Foley?

  Oh shit, fuck, it's only 2 o'clock out there?

• 46:15Speaker 01

  You're winking?

• 46:15H. Foley?

  Oh, man, that sun comes in.

• 46:18Speaker 01

  Good characters at the bar. You know, uh, crowd, crowd don't only want to be the ones that, I don't know what the fuck that means. Uh, this guy's, I think this guy's at the corner of the bar right now.

• 46:32H. Foley?

  That's awesome.

• 46:32Speaker 01

  Smoking, good jukebox.

• 46:34H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 46:35Speaker 01

  Bar food.

• 46:36H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 46:38Speaker 01

  I, a lot of good dives don't offer food though. A lot of my favorite dives are kitchenless.

• 46:44H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 46:44Speaker 01

  There's usually one, maybe two people working there total.

• 46:48H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 46:49Speaker 01

  It's some, some, you know, some broad that'll throat chop ya if she needs to. She's behind the bar by herself. You know, New York, sometimes there'll be a bouncer out front just cause it's fucking-

• 46:59H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 46:59Speaker 01

  To keep some vagrants out or whatever, you know.

• 47:01H. Foley?

  Try boiled hot dogs, like.

• 47:04Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 47:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't want to have the burps from the hot, I mean, I crush hot dogs. I crush these.

• 47:12H. Foley?

  Bad.

• 47:13Speaker 01

  Bad. Um, pool table or darts.

• 47:16H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 47:18Speaker 01

  Off the beaten path so it can't be easily found.

• 47:21H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 47:22Speaker 01

  Safe, i.e. not known for gangs or murders.

• 47:26H. Foley?

  What the fuck?

• 47:27Speaker 01

  Unless you know the gang, that's really funny.

• 47:30H. Foley?

  What the fuck?

• 47:31Speaker 01

  But that's true, you want it, like we, like I said, you want it a little- Edgy.

• 47:37H. Foley?

  Scary.

• 47:37Speaker 01

  Not scary, but like you don't want gangs or like, you know, but you want like, ah, man, they're, you know, there's a tension in here a little bit.

• 47:44H. Foley?

  Yeah, couple of off characters.

• 47:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, they're not stoked on here. That's Jimmy. Don't sit in Jimmy's seat. Don't fight, you know, that kind of thing. I like that.

• 47:52H. Foley?

  I had that at that, uh, there's an Irish bar on the corner of Crescent and something else in Queens. And I had that one night where like, I could tell they didn't want us in there.

• 48:00Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:01H. Foley?

  And they were cool. Bartender was cool. But like a couple of guys were not to have a cigarette and like they stopped and talked to us for a second.

• 48:09Speaker 01

  Just yisk.

• 48:10H. Foley?

  I didn't like it.

• 48:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 48:12H. Foley?

  I didn't like it at all.

• 48:14Speaker 01

  Hey, man, big fan. Love the show.

• 48:15H. Foley?

  No.

• 48:16Speaker 01

  Okay, of course.

• 48:17H. Foley?

  And then they muttered something under their breath as they stepped outside. And I was with my wife at the time and she's like fucking, like thought it was great. And I was like, finish that.

• 48:27Speaker 01

  We're getting the fuck out of here.

• 48:28H. Foley?

  Didn't get it at all.

• 48:29Speaker 01

  Well, that, you know, I also don't think.

• 48:32H. Foley?

  Finish your drink, you dumb broad. They're gonna kill us.

• 48:35Speaker 01

  Quick, grab the money on the table and run. Um, I don't think, you know, uh, most women in my life also aren't hanging out or spending a lot as much time as I have at a dive bar.

• 48:47H. Foley?

  No.

• 48:47Speaker 01

  To know, to read the, the signs on the wall of.

• 48:50H. Foley?

  To read the room.

• 48:50Speaker 01

  This is not going.

• 48:51H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 48:52Speaker 01

  This is not, you know, the tides have turned a little bit.

• 48:56H. Foley?

  A lot of that you could tell in the ordering. Um, I'll do the, uh.

• 48:59Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 49:00H. Foley?

  Shut the fuck up.

• 49:01Speaker 01

  Stick and move, which I do have to give to our crew.

• 49:04H. Foley?

  Show up a beer.

• 49:05Speaker 01

  When, yeah, when we all walk in somewhere and we all know, you know, take that place in San Francisco. Real dive that we went to. I would love to see if you can find the name of that. It was across from Cobb's, down probably two blocks across the street.

• 49:20H. Foley?

  It's the place I was all dusted up in.

• 49:22Speaker 01

  Towards, yeah, towards the water. I mean, you're dusted up in a couple of places.

• 49:26H. Foley?

  No, the place I was really high, stoned.

• 49:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 49:29H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 49:30Speaker 01

  That was, but yeah, there was a couple of places that that was the case. There was an Italian joint, it's like an Italian cafe.

• 49:35H. Foley?

  Alright.

• 49:36Speaker 01

  It's not real. I mean, I'm saying we were at a multiple places that night is what I'm saying. It's tough to pinpoint when you got really stoned.

• 49:42H. Foley?

  You got so serious at that. That was like off the air voice.

• 49:45Speaker 01

  What? Hey, pretty much, hey, guys, pretty much.

• 49:47H. Foley?

  I like that.

• 49:49Speaker 01

  Um, but we walked in and every, everybody read the room.

• 49:54H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 49:54Speaker 01

  I think it was me, you, Colin, Luke.

• 49:56H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 49:58Speaker 01

  That's probably it, maybe, and uh.

• 49:59Speaker 02

  I think it was Tommy instead of me. I didn't roll with you guys there.

• 50:02Speaker 01

  Oh, but you go, I'll turn around, cause I'll, I tend to lead the charge on that one.

• 50:08H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 50:09Speaker 01

  I'm first man named Scobens. You know what I mean? I gotta protect my guys.

• 50:14H. Foley?

  Uh-huh.

• 50:15Speaker 01

  You're outside, fucking, you're as high as Mars right now.

• 50:18H. Foley?

  I was trying to figure out the situation, I was trying to solve the situation between the guy and the guy in the car.

• 50:22Speaker 01

  That's the problem.

• 50:23H. Foley?

  I was trying to work that out.

• 50:24Speaker 01

  So if she, I'm inside.

• 50:25H. Foley?

  You're yelling at me to come inside.

• 50:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, shit goes down, I got me for.

• 50:28H. Foley?

  I'm solving cases out in San Fran. I'm bringing people together.

• 50:32Speaker 01

  Uh-huh. You're like Ruffalo and fucking, what was his name?

• 50:36H. Foley?

  What?

• 50:37Speaker 01

  Was it Ruffalo, what's the?

• 50:38H. Foley?

  Zodiac?

• 50:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:39H. Foley?

  Yeah. He was alright in that. That's about it.

• 50:42Speaker 01

  Okay, um.

• 50:45H. Foley?

  I like the old Ruffalo.

• 50:46Speaker 01

  But you go, what do, I'll go, I'll turn around and go, what are you guys getting? And the crew usually goes, whatever, like, we can tell this isn't a, what do you have on tap? Do you have any prosecco? It's a fucking, I'm getting three, four cans of whatever.

• 51:02H. Foley?

  I'm usually pretty good about asking for the, for not asking about something they don't have. I make eye contact with something that they do have, and I say that.

• 51:09Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 51:09H. Foley?

  I never just order something, especially at places like that. Nah, we don't have Coors Light, we don't have this.

• 51:14Speaker 01

  I'll literally, if I don't, a lot of, most shitty bars will have the run of dusty cans and bottles up on the shelf somewhere. So you can go, like, you know, whatever. And if they don't have that, I'll go, what do you have in a can?

• 51:28H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 51:29Speaker 01

  And they'll go, bop, bop, and I said, whatever this, whatever the first one I'll like is, I stop them there.

• 51:35H. Foley?

  I'll give you that, you are very good in those situations. I've never really seen anything, you're flawless, I would say, in dive bar situations.

• 51:44Speaker 01

  I was bored of the doctors.

• 51:45H. Foley?

  But, I, you know.

• 51:46Speaker 01

  But, I'm gonna trash you.

• 51:47H. Foley?

  No, we're, you know, we're, we're talking about this, what we like, all that kinda stuff, how to operate in them. I, I want truth to be known, for the bozos and the homies out there, I have had my fair share of. Fuckups in dive bars.

• 52:01Speaker 01

  Oh pause.

• 52:02H. Foley?

  That unfortunately last the evening and tend to get worse. Once a bartender in those places doesn't like you.

• 52:10Speaker 01

  You're dead. You might as well move.

• 52:12H. Foley?

  You will continue, you will continue to make a fool of yourself throughout the evening. I, you remember the dive bar we were in, uh, in like Nashville or something like that? Where the kid, where I was ordering the doubles and he's like.

• 52:25Speaker 01

  Oh, it was a real honky tonk bar we were at.

• 52:27H. Foley?

  Yes, but I kept saying.

• 52:28Speaker 01

  Ricks or Rave.

• 52:29H. Foley?

  Yeah, I wanted a margarita, but I didn't want a lot of margarita mix.

• 52:32Speaker 01

  You get too, you, you get too specific in those places.

• 52:35H. Foley?

  He's like, do you want a double? I'm like, no, you don't have to double the alcohol, just lessen the thing. But he didn't get that. He's like, you want to pay for a double, pay for a double, which you say that to me, I freak out.

• 52:44Speaker 01

  And this is, I think everybody on the team, the whole beef with you and ordering, it's a lot of words.

• 52:51H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 52:52Speaker 01

  It's too many words.

• 52:53H. Foley?

  There's too much to say.

• 52:54Speaker 01

  It's too much. Having a little bit of this, extra of that. You can just go, I'll do a double margarita. Cause at a lot of dive bars, it's what you're getting. It's not what you want.

• 53:07H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 53:09Speaker 01

  It's. Yeah, they're not mixologists.

• 53:12H. Foley?

  No.

• 53:13Speaker 01

  The guy's fucking, you know.

• 53:14H. Foley?

  I got some orange juice back here.

• 53:15Speaker 01

  But that, that's the, that's the issue. You throw in some music to that and there's a, you know.

• 53:21H. Foley?

  What?

• 53:22Speaker 01

  Your city slickin vibes too.

• 53:24H. Foley?

  I know.

• 53:24Speaker 01

  You're in there, your, your hair slicked back, taking business calls.

• 53:27H. Foley?

  I sometimes walk in with a bad vibe and I don't even realize it.

• 53:30Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 53:31H. Foley?

  Usually I'm pretty good.

• 53:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 53:33H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 53:34Speaker 01

  What do you got? Do you find them?

• 53:35Speaker 02

  I think I got like three options.

• 53:36Speaker 01

  Oh my God.

• 53:37Speaker 02

  Sweeties, international sports bar.

• 53:41Speaker 01

  It might've been international sports bar. Let me see, let me see if I can.

• 53:47Speaker 02

  Dollar bills hanging from the ceiling?

• 53:49H. Foley?

  No.

• 53:50Speaker 01

  Oh, you weren't there, so you don't know. I apologize. I apologize. I sent a boy to do a man's job. Hey, you dan. Hey, you friggin' dan.

• 54:01H. Foley?

  Tell you the hot vegan place out there.

• 54:06Speaker 01

  Tell you places to get a Cupertino or whatever the fuck it is.

• 54:09H. Foley?

  What's a Cupertino?

• 54:11Speaker 01

  Papachino?

• 54:12H. Foley?

  Papachino what, for the dogs?

• 54:13Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 54:14H. Foley?

  Oh, I'd love that.

• 54:15Speaker 01

  No, what's a Cu- Cupertino? What do you like? No, Cupertino's where- Espresso martinis?

• 54:20H. Foley?

  Espresso martinis?

• 54:21Speaker 01

  What's the fucking seafood soup you get? Oh, chipino.

• 54:24H. Foley?

  Chipino.

• 54:25Speaker 01

  Alright, I'm not that far off. Hey.

• 54:28H. Foley?

  Way off. I was thinking Italian coffee drinks, not Italian mixed seafood dishes with a red sauce. Very good. Me and Diesel had one out there in San Fran.

• 54:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, interna- the international sports bar, which I don't think there was a TV on in the joint. If I'm being a hun- if I'm-

• 54:46H. Foley?

  That's for tax purposes.

• 54:47Speaker 01

  If I'm being a hundred p, great dive bar though. Two, yeah, two pool tables, tight, little corner spot on the angle, on one of those angle streets. You enter from like the snub note, like the flatiron side of it.

• 54:59H. Foley?

  Great, great, great bar to walk outside and have a heater.

• 55:01Speaker 01

  Ah, all glass windows the whole way around.

• 55:04H. Foley?

  Seen coming. Got to in there. Seen coming at you.

• 55:07Speaker 01

  I mean, it was... Dollar bills hang from the ceiling, this no frills game day spot with full bar and pool tables. No delivery, no takeout. That's alright.

• 55:18H. Foley?

  We were looking over our shoulder in there a little bit.

• 55:20Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah. Uh, I mean, that was the last place I really walked in where I felt, oof. There was a lot of eyes when I wa- we did walk in at a kerfuffle of a time, too.

• 55:30H. Foley?

  Is that one of the last bars we walked into together in that, in that zone? And getting fucked up?

• 55:35Speaker 01

  Uh, yeah, cuz that was the last LA trip. That ended in the LA trip. LA, we need you!

• 55:40H. Foley?

  Wait, was that?

• 55:41Speaker 01

  Yes. That was the beginning of the LA trip.

• 55:43H. Foley?

  Fuck. Whoa, man. Talking about foreshadowing.

• 55:47Speaker 01

  Beginning of the end.

• 55:50H. Foley?

  Or the beginning?

• 55:52Speaker 01

  This review is toilets available for customers only. Okay. Yikes.

• 55:56H. Foley?

  That's them?

• 55:58Speaker 01

  No, that was, that's from the review.

• 55:59H. Foley?

  That's awesome. Don't go in there and try to take a dump, they'll yell at you. That's my kinda place.

• 56:07Speaker 01

  Uh, speaking of, I would also argue, uh, dive bars, like you said, it's like you get on the, you get on the bad track. It's tough to get out with the bartenders or staff or whatever.

• 56:20H. Foley?

  Fucked.

• 56:20Speaker 01

  You're fucked. Which, as I was reading these submissions, it made me think, it's gotta be really the only kind of establishment this day and age that still has like a band. You still, it's easy to get banned from a dive bar, cause it's such a tight-knit community.

• 56:38H. Foley?

  Well.

• 56:38Speaker 01

  Or put in the penalty box for a couple of months.

• 56:40H. Foley?

  You can't do that at the, like, you know, like the Smith or like some place that has, you know, a, a, a management structure.

• 56:47Speaker 01

  What?

• 56:48H. Foley?

  You can't get banned from a place like that.

• 56:49Speaker 01

  That's what I'm saying, like you go to the Smith and they're like, yeah, no, the customer's always right.

• 56:52H. Foley?

  That's how you get sued.

• 56:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, bartender loses his job, he goes, this guy's giving me, eh, you know what I mean?

• 56:57H. Foley?

  He, he, oh, yeah, he serves some guy, the guy gets fucked up, guy does something, yeah, they fire the bartender.

• 57:01Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm.

• 57:02H. Foley?

  At the fucking dive bar. Don't ever let me see in here again.

• 57:06Speaker 01

  Uh-huh, two months, take your time, two months.

• 57:09H. Foley?

  Fuck, I've seen that before. Have you ever seen anybody get banned from a place for like a limited time?

• 57:15Speaker 01

  Ah, I don't think so.

• 57:17H. Foley?

  Bartels would happen all the time.

• 57:18Speaker 01

  That makes, that was, that's an old school joint.

• 57:20H. Foley?

  Yeah, take three months off, take two months off.

• 57:23Speaker 01

  Uh-huh, clear your head a little bit.

• 57:25H. Foley?

  Yeah, and they come back.

• 57:26Speaker 01

  Go get some help.

• 57:27H. Foley?

  They come back fresh.

• 57:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, good shave on them.

• 57:30H. Foley?

  Good shave on them.

• 57:31Speaker 01

  Nice tan.

• 57:31H. Foley?

  This guy Don did that, did that for a while, came back fresh.

• 57:35Speaker 01

  Crisp.

• 57:36H. Foley?

  Came back in the summer, he's like, you know what I do, I take hot showers in the summer, then you get out, it's cool. Two months later, he was fucking.

• 57:42Speaker 01

  Hahaha.

• 57:43H. Foley?

  Fucking in the rafters.

• 57:45Speaker 01

  Hahaha.

• 57:46H. Foley?

  Had to send him back, had to send him back down to spring training.

• 57:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 57:49H. Foley?

  Tommy John surgery.

• 57:50Speaker 01

  Uh, put him back into minors for a minute.

• 57:52H. Foley?

  His wife would always call the bar, is Don there? Nah, I haven't seen him, I know he's there!

• 57:58Speaker 01

  Uh-huh.

• 57:58H. Foley?

  And we would lie, and then she would, he lived like around the corner, so she would show up every once in a while. Screaming at him.

• 58:05Speaker 01

  It's crazy.

• 58:06H. Foley?

  And he was, he was like an older, good-looking dude, sharp, always had a tan, did well, and he'd be like the man, and then man, when he, she walked in, it would. Shrivel.

• 58:19Speaker 01

  Well, that was for a very long time. My stepdad's drinking spot was like right, it was on like a main road. Mm-hmm. So his car, you could always, you know, this is like pre-calling and not, but he also, well, he wasn't a huge, eh, you know.

• 58:39H. Foley?

  Responder.

• 58:40Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 58:41H. Foley?

  Oh, really? I respect that.

• 58:43Speaker 01

  I mean, like, you couldn't text him. I mean, you could, especially later on, you could, but like, growing up, he wasn't like an early adopter of.

• 58:51H. Foley?

  Oh, okay.

• 58:51Speaker 01

  Being on the text message, like, "Yeah, I'm here, just checking in."

• 58:54H. Foley?

  I was saying, man, he goes radio silent.

• 58:56Speaker 01

  Uh, no, not, no.

• 58:58H. Foley?

  You know who loves radio silent?

• 58:59Speaker 01

  Bugman. Yeah. No, I'm well aware.

• 59:02H. Foley?

  Off the air.

• 59:07H. Foley?

  You just get that static.

• 59:10Speaker 01

  Flatlining. I got nothing. I'm waiting for a beep, a meep, a sweep, something.

• 59:16Speaker 01

  Uh.

• 59:17H. Foley?

  You'd see the bug sign in the sky.

• 59:19Speaker 01

  Well, we would drive, we would, a lot of times, it would be reported based on seeing his car at the local watering hole. You know what I mean? It'd be like, "Oh, where's Joe?" Well, I saw it. I saw, I was coming home from work and I saw his car.

• 59:33H. Foley?

  He could have been at the dry cleaners.

• 59:34Speaker 01

  He's dusting off a little bit. Yeah. I was, I was, I'm gonna go down the road and dust off a bit. Go down the road a piece and dust off a bit. Which I respect.

• 59:43H. Foley?

  Yeah, I respect it too.

• 59:44Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. Um, this one's just funny. This is from Wolf Tail McGee. "Had to help carry a large girl from the bathroom floor to the back of a cab. Buddy had to pull her in from the other side. It was like we were loading furniture. Bartender paid us in Crown Apple Shots." Respect that.

• 1:00:02H. Foley?

  Aw, man, that poor girl.

• 1:00:03Speaker 01

  Sure, but you're also, you're doing that small community a service, right? Like, the bartender, probably one person, like, again, there's not like a management chain, there's not a front of house, back of house. It's one or two people working a dive bar. And they're going, "I can't," it could be a woman going, "I can't load this larger girl in here." And they, they, they.

• 1:00:26Speaker 01

  The dive bar unites and goes, we'll help this, she's, she's, we'll help this citizen of the bar out and get her into a cab. They probably paid for the cab or, you know, something, took care of it. They were reimbursed for their community service. I think it's a great system. Right?

• 1:00:40H. Foley?

  That's like on a plane. Who's able to do the?

• 1:00:42Speaker 01

  Yeah. Are you able, are you able to sit in the exit row? Like we were loading furniture. That's such a real thought.

• 1:00:48H. Foley?

  Go right to get her, get her ankles.

• 1:00:50Speaker 01

  You gotta hook it.

• 1:00:51H. Foley?

  Shit, poor lady. Man.

• 1:00:53Speaker 01

  Uh huh.

• 1:00:54H. Foley?

  Getting pulled through the other side. Phew, that's tough.

• 1:00:59Speaker 01

  That ain't great. Um, this one, this one's from Dr. John Becker. Shout out to you, doc.

• 1:01:06H. Foley?

  Whatever.

• 1:01:06Speaker 01

  Local dive bar has an active train about 30 feet behind the exit where everyone smokes slash additional parking. Saw a drunk ride, tried to leave and get stuck on the tracks. You don't even have to cross the tracks to leave, but this guy gets caught up on the tracks. Train was coming.

• 1:01:25H. Foley?

  How do you caught up on the tracks? I thought that was something that happened in silent movies.

• 1:01:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 1:01:29H. Foley?

  How do you, where do you get your foot caught?

• 1:01:31Speaker 01

  I know, the car. He couldn't get his car over.

• 1:01:34H. Foley?

  Why does that always happen? That's crazy.

• 1:01:36Speaker 01

  I think it's, yeah, I don't know.

• 1:01:38H. Foley?

  That's something in the universe. There's no way at that specific time, your car stalls or you can't get over. That happens way too much.

• 1:01:45Speaker 01

  I think it's prob, listen, these aren't fucking, you know, Land Rovers and stuff getting stuck. These are shitty, small cars where like, I think the rear, front wheel drive, it's, it doesn't, you know, it's like a neon trying to, and it's like, the chassis gets caught on a rock, something. I don't think he's actually, he's probably not crossing at a proper fucking.

• 1:02:07H. Foley?

  Do you think the train operator in the back of their head kinda likes that when one gets caught on there? When it's a car, not like a tractor trailer, it's kinda like get derailed.

• 1:02:14Speaker 01

  You gotta think, dude, this is nighttime. The driver don't know, the fucking train conductor don't know that.

• 1:02:19H. Foley?

  You don't think?

• 1:02:19Speaker 01

  That, that, that there's no one in the car?

• 1:02:21H. Foley?

  Oh, that's right. So they're not enjoying it.

• 1:02:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's not going, sick, Gary, get up here. He's going, I'm about to ruin a lot of people's lives. This is about, this is about to be the worst day of my life.

• 1:02:32H. Foley?

  Ah, fuck.

• 1:02:33Speaker 01

  Yeah. I guess if you didn't know.

• 1:02:34H. Foley?

  Cause that'd be fun.

• 1:02:35Speaker 01

  Yeah. And you're just like fucking gravedigger in it. Yeah, that would probably be a good time.

• 1:02:39H. Foley?

  That'd be fun.

• 1:02:40Speaker 01

  I thought I would have to worry about the. Derailing though.

• 1:02:44H. Foley?

  I don't know, we don't do enough fun stuff with trains like that. Why don't they have like, train, like smash up derbies or something like that?

• 1:02:51Speaker 01

  I think it's very dangerous.

• 1:02:52H. Foley?

  Think?

• 1:02:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, I would assume, someone would have monetized it if it was-

• 1:02:57H. Foley?

  I'm saying just the engine, you don't got the, you know, cars behind it, but like, why don't we do more fun stuff with train engines?

• 1:03:04Speaker 01

  I think I found a new hobby for you.

• 1:03:06H. Foley?

  Have them slam into each other or something like that. In a controlled environment. Like monster truck shows. Aren't they, like, you know, cra- uh-

• 1:03:15Speaker 01

  Ah yeah, but they're kinda static.

• 1:03:17H. Foley?

  You put track in, idiot.

• 1:03:20Speaker 01

  Do you have anything for this?

• 1:03:22Speaker 02

  No, I mean, I can't imagine you could pick up steam that quick in like a monster truck arena.

• 1:03:26H. Foley?

  You open up the doors of the arena and you start out like that, how sick would that be?

• 1:03:31Speaker 02

  I'm with it.

• 1:03:32H. Foley?

  Right?

• 1:03:32Speaker 01

  Yeah. Uh, I'm out.

• 1:03:35Speaker 01

  For that reason, I'm out. Alright, but hold on.

• 1:03:37H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:37Speaker 01

  Uh, local dive bar has an active train about thirty feet behind the exit where people, everyone smokes slash there's additional parking. Saw a drunk guy try to leave and get stuck on the tracks, you don't have to cross the tracks, to leave. Train was coming, so he ripped off his license plate and ran. Everyone ran outside of the bar to watch the train obliterate this car. The whole place erupted in cheers. It was awesome.

• 1:04:00H. Foley?

  That's what I'm talking about.

• 1:04:01Speaker 01

  Now, yeah, listen, I-

• 1:04:02H. Foley?

  That's what I'm talking about.

• 1:04:03Speaker 01

  Listen, yeah, that's a good time.

• 1:04:06H. Foley?

  Now you see it.

• 1:04:07Speaker 01

  Sure, sure.

• 1:04:09H. Foley?

  But that is a once in a lifetime moment.

• 1:04:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's like-

• 1:04:12H. Foley?

  Connor, you can't be selling tickets to that. Hey, it's Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

• 1:04:16Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:04:17Speaker 01

  Um, dude, to be at that bar, to call's the next morning, Gary got his car stuck.

• 1:04:25H. Foley?

  The vibe in there when-

• 1:04:25Speaker 01

  Blew it the fuck up.

• 1:04:26H. Foley?

  Yeah, the vibe in there when they walked back inside.

• 1:04:29Speaker 01

  I was right there, I seen, everybody's telling their version, it's like the fucking Kennedy assassination. That's awesome.

• 1:04:35H. Foley?

  That's fucking sick.

• 1:04:36Speaker 01

  There was some, there was a long, a long time in our early twenties where we really liked getting fucked up and you know-

• 1:04:45Speaker 01

  Seeing stuff, getting fucked up for that kinda shit was a good time.

• 1:04:50H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:04:51Speaker 01

  Like a big event that not everybody, you know, I don't know, just like, remember one time we were looking for, we were looking at implosions of buildings? I think they were blowing up something in Jersey and me and Pat were like, we gotta get to that.

• 1:05:02H. Foley?

  That's so true.

• 1:05:03Speaker 01

  But it was too early. You'd have to, you know what I mean?

• 1:05:05H. Foley?

  I know, they do that in business hours.

• 1:05:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:07H. Foley?

  I think they do that-

• 1:05:08Speaker 01

  And I didn't hold normal office hours at the time.

• 1:05:10H. Foley?

  I think they tend to do that because they don't want people to do exactly what you're talking about.

• 1:05:14Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 1:05:15H. Foley?

  They don't blow buildings at 4:30 so you can be out there fucking pre-gaming, which they should.

• 1:05:20Speaker 01

  They should. I mean, in Vegas they do. Vegas, that's, those are-

• 1:05:23H. Foley?

  That's a thing in Vegas.

• 1:05:24Speaker 01

  That's a thing in Vegas.

• 1:05:26H. Foley?

  Which is so fucked up.

• 1:05:27Speaker 01

  Why?

• 1:05:28H. Foley?

  It's just so cutthroat and vicious, but awesome at the same time. Like, when you, when you're the owner of that casino and they blow it up on you?

• 1:05:38Speaker 01

  I don't think you're the owner anymore.

• 1:05:39H. Foley?

  Obviously.

• 1:05:40Speaker 01

  That's always too like, I, just that ambition. I come from such a small, like, blue collar type world where like, to have the ambition of like, I'm gonna buy that casino, then blow it the fuck up.

• 1:05:58H. Foley?

  And rebuild it?

• 1:05:58Speaker 01

  Then rebuild it. I guess I look at it from like, everybody in my family's in the trades.

• 1:06:02H. Foley?

  What would you do? Revamp it? You're just, you can't do that.

• 1:06:05Speaker 01

  I would just go, yeah, well, I'm not in the market for a casino, but I think-

• 1:06:09H. Foley?

  You would keep the, you would just change the name and keep it the same?

• 1:06:11Speaker 01

  I think so, cuz I-

• 1:06:12H. Foley?

  I'd do some different specials.

• 1:06:14Speaker 01

  Everybody, everybody-

• 1:06:15H. Foley?

  Change the menu.

• 1:06:16Speaker 01

  Everybody I know complains about the size of a job and I just go, that's it. One, you gotta blow it up. Two, you gotta fucking, you gotta have to grade out that land. That's like, how many guys, how many bids, that's just like such a big undertaking where I go, I don't have the time. I ain't got nothing. Throw a coat of paint on-

• 1:06:33H. Foley?

  Yeah, could throw a coat of paint, get to, you know, change the waiter's uniforms.

• 1:06:37Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:06:38H. Foley?

  Something.

• 1:06:38Speaker 01

  Something. I don't have the, we're gonna burn it down and rebuild.

• 1:06:41H. Foley?

  Nobody would go to that casino.

• 1:06:43Speaker 01

  Well, that's why, that's why I'm not in the casino biz, guy.

• 1:06:46H. Foley?

  That's awesome.

• 1:06:47Speaker 01

  Uh...

• 1:06:48H. Foley?

  Nobody takes it step by step out there. They go all in.

• 1:06:52Speaker 01

  Um, alright, this one's from the, oh, what a name. Northeast Ohio, it's in northeast Ohio called Y Drive By.

• 1:07:00H. Foley?

  Hmm.

• 1:07:00Speaker 01

  The owner's name was Dale, rest in peace. He lived upstairs. He lived off Arizona green tea mixed with black velvet whiskey. God damn, that's an old timer. If you ask nicely, he'd turn on the Christmas lights and run the electric choo-choo train around the ceiling.

• 1:07:15H. Foley?

  Oh, I love that.

• 1:07:16Speaker 01

  Had a wooden bowling machine and a seasonal bowling league. My brother set the place on fire and got free drinks for the night when he scored a perfect 300 game. Went down in the history of the place, how you done? Had a dusty jukebox decked out with all of our favorite Motown hits. A hand dryer in the women's bathroom shot out blue sparks when you pushed the button. It had a functioning telephone booth in the wall. In the wall and space between the men's and women's bathroom. Got bought out and modernized a few years ago, what a time capsule.

• 1:07:45H. Foley?

  Whoa.

• 1:07:46Speaker 01

  That's the problem though.

• 1:07:48H. Foley?

  Yeah. That was well said.

• 1:07:50Speaker 01

  Very well said, that's um...

• 1:07:52H. Foley?

  What I was thinking about the whole time you were reading that is, none of that stuff happened immediately. That kinda stuff. That bar at its pinnacle of dive bar-ness, that took time.

• 1:08:05Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:08:06H. Foley?

  It takes time.

• 1:08:06Speaker 01

  Takes decades.

• 1:08:07H. Foley?

  I doubt the hairdryer was shooting out sparks the second that they opened.

• 1:08:12Speaker 01

  No, and then it wasn't every time. It was like every 10th time. And they're like, ah, whatever, we got bigger, probably get there. And then it was every time, and it was just like, "Hey, where's the bathroom?" "To the left." "Don't use the dryer." You know what I mean, that kinda thing.

• 1:08:25H. Foley?

  Yeah, it takes time.

• 1:08:28Speaker 01

  Or something about, and that smell of like those all, like, not even bad or good, it's just, like, this was, this was when you could still smoke in here, to not smoking in here, like, you know, it's like stained in the wood and the... The stickiness of the floor, it's like...

• 1:08:44H. Foley?

  Yeah. The smoke smell, that was the smoking to non-smoking, is something unique on its own.

• 1:08:52Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm. I love a fucking dive bar. Which unfortunately, New York, they're getting harder and harder to maintain, cause the rain...

• 1:08:59H. Foley?

  Goddamn real estate.

• 1:09:00Speaker 01

  So that's why like that Niagara bar is like, that's gonna be the new, like a restaurant group owns that.

• 1:09:05H. Foley?

  I know.

• 1:09:06Speaker 01

  That's gonna be the new...

• 1:09:07H. Foley?

  They own the place next door.

• 1:09:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, dive, I don't know.

• 1:09:10H. Foley?

  No, it's like market, when it was like a, I don't know, it was like butcher or something.

• 1:09:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, something cool. I'm sure they're doing great, it's probably a great establishment, and I do like that, that's a good just knock-around bar, but that's, you know, that's not a fucking, that ain't no dive bar. Which are the fewer, fewer and far between. There's a great one. This is another place. Luke, see if you can find this. It's called the Liffey 2. All the way up in Olds. It's a holdover in the, in Inwood. Real Irish joint. You go in and it's got like furniture you would have in your basement. You know what I mean? Like, it was just someone's couch.

• 1:09:52H. Foley?

  Like that.

• 1:09:53Speaker 01

  And that was the time me and my boy went in the Liffey 2.

• 1:09:56H. Foley?

  That's sick.

• 1:09:57Speaker 01

  On Broadway, right?

• 1:10:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:10:00H. Foley?

  Nice.

• 1:10:02Speaker 01

  See if you can find some of the images. They have like, uh, the inside. It's just like, that's kinda, that looks like even a little more redone. It was like, it had like a couch that like somebody was getting rid of and they were like, drop it in there. And it was just like, still smoke stained in a good way. And that was the last place we walked in. And it's, it's a Irish pub in a predominantly Dominican neighborhood at this point, still with some holdover Irish people and stuff like that.

• 1:10:34H. Foley?

  They work together.

• 1:10:35Speaker 01

  Yeah. And you walk in and you're like, I don't, they, they all look at you and they're like, we don't find, we went in on like a Wednesday night.

• 1:10:41H. Foley?

  We don't trust each other. We ain't trusting you.

• 1:10:42Speaker 01

  Yeah. Oh, fuck these guys. And I, it was me and my friend who's Dominican walked in. So we, dude, we looked like undercover cops. They're gonna send one of each of us in to infiltrate.

• 1:10:51H. Foley?

  Can I have a pack of cigarettes, please?

• 1:10:53Speaker 01

  Uh, and they, they walked in and just sniffed it. And we had like two beers. Wasn't super well, it just, you know, we weren't there for all night anyway. We were just like, you got that vibe in a good way of like, whoo. Better, uh, we're gonna smoke this, we're gonna finish this beer, smoke a cigarette and get the fuck on out of here. Yeah.

• 1:11:10H. Foley?

  That night with me and my brother, I was, uh, you know, a little yacked up.

• 1:11:14Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 1:11:15H. Foley?

  Very talkative. And I was going around like,

• 1:11:18Speaker 01

  The worst.

• 1:11:18H. Foley?

  Yeah. I was, I was like chatting up people.

• 1:11:20Speaker 01

  Hey, you come here often?

• 1:11:21H. Foley?

  What do you do? This and that. Where are you from? Like, man, looking back. Lucky I made, we made it out of there.

• 1:11:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:11:28H. Foley?

  I think my throat slit in the bathroom.

• 1:11:30Speaker 01

  There's a, there's a place, I don't know if it's still open. I mean, it still looks, it's on Broadway as well, all the way up there called the 21 Bar. And there's like, it's like a go-go bar. Like girls dance on the bar, but like in bikinis or something. Like considered bar, it's not a strip club.

• 1:11:45H. Foley?

  I got you.

• 1:11:46Speaker 01

  It's real small, dude. It's like,

• 1:11:48H. Foley?

  I'm not a go-go bar guy.

• 1:11:49Speaker 01

  There's probably like 10 seats, maybe seven, 10 seats in there. Is it still open?

• 1:11:55H. Foley?

  On Broadway?

• 1:11:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:11:57H. Foley?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:58Speaker 01

  It's a 100% pure Dominican hangout.

• 1:12:02H. Foley?

  Okay.

• 1:12:02Speaker 01

  And I rolled in there with my boy. And I was just one of those things, like even like the bouncer's like, "Guy, this is... Are you sure?" It was just like, he didn't say anything, but it was like...

• 1:12:11H. Foley?

  Really?

• 1:12:12Speaker 01

  "I'm going into..." And not enemy terror, but I'm, you know, I'm on the other side.

• 1:12:17H. Foley?

  Just you specifically?

• 1:12:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, to me specifically.

• 1:12:23Speaker 01

  This was years ago too, this was...

• 1:12:25H. Foley?

  He hit you with, "My man, what are you doing?"

• 1:12:26Speaker 01

  No, but it was like, uh... He said something in Spanish to my boy. Where, I don't know if he thought I was a cop, or what, it was, you know. And I sat in someone's seat.

• 1:12:37H. Foley?

  Oh yeah, I remember this.

• 1:12:38Speaker 01

  And it was like, uh...

• 1:12:41Speaker 01

  There was a conversation...

• 1:12:42H. Foley?

  "I'm sorry, sir."

• 1:12:43Speaker 01

  "Good day?" There was a conversation in Spanish between my boy and this guy. And my boy's not the kinda guy to relinquish the seat.

• 1:12:51H. Foley?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:12:52Speaker 01

  He was, it was very much, "You're fucking sitting there, and now I don't know what's happening."

• 1:12:57H. Foley?

  Hmm.

• 1:12:58Speaker 01

  They're going back and forth, and I'm like, I'm trying to get fucking buzzwords or something. He's like, "You're sitting in that fucking seat." Cause it's like a pride thing for him, like...

• 1:13:06H. Foley?

  "Wait till you hear pistola."

• 1:13:09Speaker 01

  "Underly, underly." Uh, but yeah. And then that was another thing where me and him, we're, me and him been in a lot of iffy situations.

• 1:13:16H. Foley?

  Sure.

• 1:13:17Speaker 01

  Where we've been like, I was like, he's like, "We're finishing these, we're doing two beers. I'm not letting them feel like they're running us out of here."

• 1:13:25H. Foley?

  I like that.

• 1:13:26Speaker 01

  And I'm, yeah. I like it in principle, I don't like it when I don't know what the fuck's going on and I'm the cause of the issue. I said, "I'm always the guy in the wrong seat."

• 1:13:35H. Foley?

  You gotta walk in front of the frame.

• 1:13:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm always the, just they're like, I don't, I get a little too comfy, a little too quick, crack a joke, a little too, you know what I mean? I got a bad face sometimes.

• 1:13:46H. Foley?

  This guy doesn't know what I'm talking about, right? Slap him on the back.

• 1:13:48Speaker 01

  Got him in a headlock. Ain't that right, Paca? Alright, we gotta wrap it up.

• 1:13:52H. Foley?

  Ah, what a fun one.

• 1:13:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, baby.

• 1:13:53H. Foley?

  Thanks for all the submissions, they were fantastic.

• 1:13:55Speaker 01

  Yes.

  Gang, we love you.

• 1:13:56Speaker 01
