Ep 635 - Podcaster's Union (feat. Kevin Ryan & H. Foley)

The conversation centers on personal growth, boundaries, and accountability in relationships and daily life. The speakers reflect on how their dynamic has evolved over time, moving from unresolved tension to a more conscious approach to setting limits. A key moment involves financial transparency, where one person admits to unauthorized credit card spending, leading to a reevaluation of trust and responsibility. This incident underscores broader themes of emotional vulnerability and recovery, especially tied to seasonal affective disorder and past struggles with addiction. The group shares humorous memories of their early days, including wild construction work and awkward office experiences, which serve to highlight their shared history and resilience. They also touch on societal observations, such as union dynamics in construction, emphasizing how workplace culture shapes personal values. The discussion ends on a hopeful note, with plans for future appearances, new projects, and a commitment to mutual respect and clear boundaries. The tone is candid, introspective, and grounded in real-life experiences, reflecting both humor and emotional depth. The narrative reinforces the idea that growth comes from honesty, accountability, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths.

Guys are fucking nuts. Yeah. He got spotted by one of our boys at the airport. Do you did? Well, he's talking about the same thing. He thinks he's very famous and is like, he really, we thought we started. I go, you are Johnny drama. He is. I don't think I'm famous. I have an audience.

I'm done with auditions, I'll take it out right now. I did one against that very wall. So I did an audition and I only done one audition. I had anything, no sign of me. I did one audition and the only reason I did it because in this one instance, I happened to know through like a family connection that the producer was like loosely related to my family. So I'm like, "Here we go, honey and depot baby, full depot baby." Because someone in your family tree knows it's like three degrees of separation, but we met once, I'm like, "Bride's gonna see my name and tell me up, the big leagues." The big leagues. You're in the big leagues. Tulsa King, who are you reading for? I didn't know I had Tulsa King reason. The one that just came out about the guy behind the door. Yeah, forget it was something.

Yeah, I'm like, I'm not doing anything. Then I go back to Ian's place and Ian got the same audition. What? Yeah, I'm like, what are we doing here? What's kind of cool? The fuck out of here with this shit? Yeah, I know Lander for 50 bucks. No, I don't. I get scripts every now and again. It's like he's also broke for the record. Oh, yeah, it happens. Every great artist, man. That's what I see here. Yeah, you know what I'll help that more movie scripts in the back. Talk about not focusing on the right thing. We're focusing on the right thing.

He spent in the last 30 days, which is funny. He never checked to see if there was any any identity theft or anything on that. That was a lot. Could have made some suspicious.

I just got to sit back play the victim. He says something mean. Nobody thinks nobody thinks you're the victim in any any sort of unit. Check the check to YouTube comments. Yes. There's a blood bath over on Patreon. We're getting really a little bit. It does come back. There's too much. It's true. I'm not even fucking around. He's been saying that for four years. I lost a hundred pieces that look good. Yeah. What do you want? That's what I'm saying. So Hollywood cares about looking good, baby. That's something. That's the other day on the Patreon. We're like trying to like, Hey, man, just maybe, you know, focus a little bit here that you're doing. You're making it. Dude, he's in recovery. We're, you know, we're meeting. Stared where. How long have you been in recovery for the last time I relapsed was March 6 here. We're back to the scene of the crime. That's why it's a quake in an out trip. Yeah. Austin gets people though. I've heard something about it. Apparently is New York L.A. Pennsylvania. So when you go back to L.A. I'm like, it's not L.A. It's him. Which we just went to L.A. was great and did here and was great. You know, that's good. Man, I'm happy for you. That's really. Yeah. No. So he's obviously, you know, all jokes. I, you know, I, he's making great strides. It's obviously very. I got to tell him I look good. I got the wife. Great. Well, the other day on the Patreon, I guess all I need to do is focus on getting better looking and we're like, that's what you took from there. Our intervention as Converse. He goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, he goes. No, I need to continue. I just need to continue to get good looking. Well, it looks Max and Bobby's Mac. He's right. He's, he's comicular. I got to get one of those in the factors. This is a, you lost 100 like 120. Damn. Starting at 435. I'm what we know. It could have been, could have been pumped up. Damn. That's fucking wild, man. Yeah. That's that's that's not really doing much. Just puke it up and whatever. Yeah. No bone marrow. So we'll claim that the guy from Subway claimed that that's what made him pedophile. I said he lost so much weight that all that like craving just got well, that's kind of where that they say that with Zepound, they say are like with the GLP ones that you're not curing the, like you have some sort of addiction and it was food at some point. And then like when you lose all this weight and you don't feel it with whatever or kind of correct something, you know, the drugs come back. A lot of people relapse on alcohol and stuff like that. Yeah, I'll give them that. But it takes away the addiction to lose the weight. Yeah. Does that make sense? And since I'm in recovery and learning this stuff, it's actually working out a little bit. But it takes away the addiction. I have a food addiction for sure. I have a weird relationship with food. So it was like, just, you know, eat right, exercise, all that kind of stuff. I needed to take that away. It takes that away. Yeah. It numbs out a little bit. Yeah. And then yeah, I've heard that before. I remember there was those articles where it's like GLP ones block the signal for love. It's like, yeah, so does, you know, just be a part too. I got that too. I'm in sex and love that in paintings and shit like that. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. You know, I got it all full of full things. Yeah. I wouldn't know what real love is would be else with it. Okay, fair enough. Wait a little too far. It's a comedy park, isn't it? Whatever. I'm sure about the guy name credit card. Yeah, I feel you.

No, man. At all. I'm on the street. And some of those you see those tree workers, you're like, this is fucking hot as shit. What are you doing? Yeah. And you like the party and you're fun. You're crazy. You're under value in yourself. You should start. You should get behind one of them, man. So I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying? We are more. Yeah. Yeah. Behind every Halle Berry. There's a Tyler Perry, you know what I'm saying? Is that a thing? Did you just come up with that? That's right. Now I saw it on a Pimp interview on top of it. See, I couldn't do it. I'm not tough enough. I mean, wait. Yeah. I would be those those who walk a little over. Yeah. I remember how it's turned this guy. Yeah. He's supposed to walk. I mean, I don't want to. It's all 30. Get the fuck out there. I'll take the day off. All right. And how it's turned one time. This guy called in when, like, Don, the one, whatever his name was, you know, that guy's the fuck boy. Bishop Don Juan. Yeah. And he was like, I think I do fucking, you are tapped into the Pimp in the world. It ain't easy. Unfortunately, I am right now. You know, it's government name. Bishop Don Juan. What is it? Magic Bishop Don Juan? Yeah. Something like that. He had to do that was crazy. He was just like an actual Pimp and like kind of got pushed to the front of pop culture for like two years. They were, they were. He was in old school and shit. They're making a comeback. They're starting to try to make a little bit of a comeback right now. Pimps. Yeah. Pimps. Really? Real Pimps. I'm talking about real Pimps. Yeah. You don't need them. Like straight level. Because they, the only fans thing they, they, they, they get kind of pimped out. Yeah. The only fan saying, dude, you know, the only fans saying a parent, so you get, you get a manager. And then you record a ton of content for a year and then you just stop. Yeah. And then you just have this like archive of content. Yeah. They're banking. Yeah. They're banking. They're going on a road. And then it's just Lithuanian dude. The team of Lithuanian guys talking to guys jerking off. And there's like sitting somewhere, probably just getting like their ass kicked by like a Russian guy. Sad. You want them to enjoy it and do what they want. Yeah. Well, it's weird. The weird thing about, like a, the weird thing about like pimping that I've like to do my research. Well, there is a courtship element to it. So like, it is a business transaction, but as a pimp, the way you get your hose, you're almost courting them because you're going to control all their money. Yeah. It's so, yeah. Yeah. So you have to go like, Hey, I'm going to come in like we're friends. I'm going to let me take care of you. And then it's like, then it turns and it's like, this is now. Yeah. It's a different relationship. Well, yeah, that's, yeah. That's, that's, I don't like it. That's if you're real a pimping. So if you're, that's if you're beating them up and feeding them drugs. Get in your hair. Is there any other kind? Magic what Don Wants says it's all about love. Really? Yeah. Good for him. It's about love. You're going to be able to lay the pipe with that shit, though. Yeah, I'm out. Yeah. I'm out of the draft for sure. I didn't tell any dick mother of maybe yelling back at me. You know, you're like, I'm like, you're going to do what I say. Like you're almost done. I'm like, I'm almost done. Hold on. Thank you so much. Yeah. Yeah. It's such a weird element to it where it's like you think it's like purely transactional. But it's like, it's all about like how you dress and your flash and then you get them and then, you know, they're just, it's your, that's your bitch. I bet it's too much anxiety for me. Yeah. It's crazy. Do you imagine having not one woman you were like completely psychologically dominating and abusing, but like seven, then you have to organize all them and they're together at hotel rooms. All right. Listen up, ladies. Yeah. Here's the game plan for the. Organizing meals and shit like that showers. Fucking brutal. I'd be worried they're going to unionize and shit. Oh, fuck and brutal. I'd be Bayzo's on them. I remember hearing that Walmart had like a team of private jet like they had like a team where like if somebody, we'd learn it in business in, in college, that like if there was a talks of a union at a local store, like the manager had to pick up the phone, call 1-800, like no unions. And a team would assemble. They'd hop on a fucking private jet and fly there that night, that day and start fucking Boston it up. Don't who's doing what? Who's doing what? Get the fuck out of here. Damn crazy shit. Yeah, I know there was a coffee shop in Philly were the baristas threatened to unionize and the guy just shut down every single one of his coffee shops. Fuck you guys. He's like, is he that bad? The what? To unionize or whatever the fuck doesn't Starbucks try to do that? I think they try to, but it's just, you know, yeah. My family, we owns, you know, everybody has been union construction from Philly Philly still. I think there's only like eight cities that still have like trade unions. Yeah, yeah. It's like Chicago. You know, there's not that. Philly's a big union. I'm proud town. All the men in my family, these are the cops, firemen are fucking union carpenters. Yeah. So it's like, it's really good for the worker. It's not always fantastic for the, it's very expensive for that for the businesses. For like a labor sweeping up, it's like 500 bucks a day. Oh, yeah. To plus what it cost you. Yeah, yeah. It's literally like 500 bucks. It cost you like, I think to have like a union plumber, like union pipe fitter, a year, it's like minimum 200 and something that it costs you. Yeah. You have to like pay all their benefits, all their union dues, all that. No, I've seen both sides of it too, because I, I was always, I worked non-union. And then I remember my dad, they were doing demolition. They started getting jobs like in the city so they, they were like, you guys got to be in a union now. But then, yeah, so that you got to like do that a little bit, but then you could do non-union stuff on the side. And they'll come like, hey, what are they all doing? It's crazy. Yeah. Sneaking in the Guatemalan guys. Yeah. They show them like, wait, if you're, if you're in three rooms are cleared out, the guys are doing the fuck. Sneaking so look, man. What the fuck? It's a hop song here. It's such a fun. And they'll come out. You need like 10 more guys. Dude, they do. They send the business a business and shows it. If you're like working in Jersey, it's like, oh, you're a loud one guy, but then for every one you bring over, you got to bring one of their guys. Well, she'll be like, this looks like a lot of work here. You know, it's always. It's stereotypically some fat Italian guy who gets out of a Cadillac and my dad would be like, I'll fist fight you in this parking lot, but it works for a percent of the time. That's the rule number one. My dad goes, the walk is just one guy walked in and sort of yelling on the job site. But that goes, I talked to you outside. Yeah. And he goes, whoa, whoa, whoa. He goes, yeah. We're yelling this much. We're just going to fight in this parking lot. Yeah. Like if nobody yells this much and doesn't want to fight. And they're like, nah, let's be the way to talk about this. It's be reasonable. Yeah. He's like, no. He's like, remove him from his audience. That's how you find out who a tough guy is. And I was like, you're crazy. That'll do. The construction. It's like. It is. It was a huge pissing contest. Yeah. It was very kind of mobbed up if you would, they would come on your hydraulic lines and like break your short. And if you like to do the coax cable, shit like that, it would fuck you up. If you put like, there was a time probably in the 80s and 90s, if you used like the non-union guys to install the windows, I'm like your storefronts, they would drive a fucking car right through it. Dude, and then they have the rat. They have the big blow up rat. Yeah. Love the rat. I do like the rat. Dude, I love the rat. I'm a rat guy. Dude, my uncle George wasn't my uncle. On my holy commune, my first holy commune party, he had, he had the rat outfit. Oh. Like he was like a diehard union. He was getting ready to go. Or saying, I don't know. It was in the trunk. No, I think about it. It was a white Cadillac. No, he didn't have a clown outfit. So he dressed like a rat for his commune. Dude, and he showed up on the commune and we were like, yeah, like, dude, there's nothing to have the union friends. Kevin. Yeah. It was crazy. And I think him back. I'm like, dude, we are just pure bags. I still, I remember every time I drive by the rat and all the guys sitting out there, it's a love driving by him. They get to work. Yeah. Fuck you. Fuck you. Get to work. You fucking bum. We work for a minute, right? In the work for a little while. In the 50s, it was good. I mean, I think, yeah, I think, you know, but there's like paying for Las Vegas. I think the other, the other side of the coin from like a business owner standpoint is like, well, I'm paying for this guy to drive around in a fucking Cadillac. It's like, dude, again, it's like, it is a nice thing when there was like factory fires and we were just like standing on women's necks like you're not fucking leaving until it. That was bad. But what I've seen is like, it's very good, but then you get like a bunch, say like electricians, they come in, everyone's making like, you know, whatever, $250, $400, $500 a day. Friday, they come in, they work from like seven to nine, they get coffee for 30 minutes. Coffee break. They go to get lunch and they get hammered for three hours and they come back Friday like, all right. Turn the rabbit over. Early quits, dude. Let's wrap it up. Dude, we used to have a scene in my family's go. If it ain't done by noon on Friday, it ain't fucking happening. That's one day's problem, dog. Go get a suitcase of beers. Dude. You'd see like 10 electricians come in faces bright red like what's up, my oh, what's you doing down here? No, he'd like. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, cause I used to, we used to have to give this guy a fucking, uh, one of the, uh, one of our plumbers, I had to let him use my car. My like 2005 Mercury Montego because like, I know it was always, I think dude, he would just drive it. He'd come in all fucked up. I'd be like, yeah, let me take your car. I'm like, I'll use the truck. You take my car to the job site. I mean, you like in there and we'll swap it out, dude, every time there'd be just like beer bottles in my back seat. And I'd like, dude, I'd be like driving home later that day and like, you're just clinking. And I'm like, is either there was, there was a union construction worker in the, the one day there was a perk on that there was just a yellow school bus on the driver's seat. I'm like, dude, you can't be doing this. Which is why when you think about it, the credit card thing isn't that big of a deal. Sure. From drug addict to another. That shows that, right, gentlemen, a lesser of two evils. Don't make me get the rat. I'll put the rat in for your studio. The rat. Your charges were significantly more than a DUI would have cost me an open container. I'd easily take that. Yeah, that is, except you get shit whenever you're like, well, if you look, is everyone's like, yeah, unions are great. It's like, it is a nice thing. I get the reality of it and you're like, yeah, I'd be kind of pissed if ever if half my work force that I was paying so much for hammered and leaving, but there's also a really good guy. Like, you know, if you're like a really good guy, it's, you know, if you're a really good worker, those guys get a job and then keep it for 15 or they go start, they started non-union companies. They started non-union companies. It's really, it has to be every time. Sorry. Non-union companies. Yeah. Talk after the podcast. I have some literature. You guys want to look at it. I haven't really. I'm going to unionize. This is going to come. This is going to cost me a lot of money. What do you think? I have a feeling this is going to cost me a lot of money. Dude, there we were working. Where's Kippy buried you, kill me. I heard a lot to get to your line of the link. There is, we were working on this place.

Remember when they tore down the old porn theater in Philly and it collapsed and like killed somebody? What was the name of that? Oh, there was a porn theater right off the street. Fucking non-union dickheads probably in there. That definitely was. Yeah. But they pulled on it and just collapsed and like killed somebody. But there was a, we were working on the building next to it and it was like four or five story building and they cut the supports out because they wanted to build like six more stories on top of it. So they had like the, they had the massive fucking like electrical power box or the circuit box or whatever. I'm down. Sound like a fucking poser. I'm an electrical panel. Did you exchange your cord yet? Yeah. Like an industrial electrical panel with like the thick copper bus bars, it's not even wires. It's just these hunks of copper and one of the, one of the fucking, apparently one of the I.B.U.'s finest came by late at night and try to break it like to cut it out and take the copper. It was still alive. Oh. So it was like 10,000. It was like Jurassic Park fence level. Cool. Dude, he got just launched across the basement. That's a high up and just walked out like no shit. Cut the power for the whole building. It was not candy. It was fine. Dude, I've worked with, I've been on the job side with, construct with electricians and they're just like, are also non-electricians who are like, I'm like, you know, some, let's call the fucking electrician because I'm like, say they were a plumber who knows how to do like, you know, put in a fucking, you know, cut into a, cut into a PVC pipe and put a fucking D in there. Like, and he's like, I think it's dead. And I'm like, we've been working on like a fucking generalities or something. I'm like, well, let's just walk back to the panel and see if it's all over. He goes, I'm pretty sure. And then he's like, sit there with like, bolt covers and I'm like, dude, I don't, I'm back it up. I don't know how electricity works. works. And he's like Paris on glass. And dude, he's multiple times. Shout out to Pete. He looked back at me and go, she gave my boots to my wife. And I'm like, oh, God, dude. Dude, I was, uh, I was working for electrician for a while. And we were in this building and it, you know, it's like a, like a three story building with a bunch of different things. I have like a dermatologist in one side, all these different businesses. We were taken out one, but the, I guess the electric electricity was like kind of connected in these two suites. So I was, we're doing electrical demo. We're just pulling the wires out. And I, I had these little, I just so happened to draw like the little shitty snips that day. So I had these little insulated snips. So I cut, I can only cut half the wire at a time. So I cut through this like thick that metal like MC wire. I cut half of that and I just see a blue current going through and I go, huh? Because if you don't, you can, you can snip one at a time. Because if you don't connect the circuit, whatever, I, I, I, I, I, I don't know any of that. I clipped, I clipped the neutral wire. So I wasn't like the, the black ones hot. I clipped the white one and I see like a little circuit is kind of going. I'm going, man, that's weird. So I go to get my form and I'm like, yo, dude, I think there's a, I think this is still hot. And he was like, it's probably left over from like when we cut it off. And I was like, it was like, I was like, electricity. There's this like left, left over electricity that goes to water and a plane. And that's what it's from yesterday. He's a phantom charge. So I luckily, I'm up on a ladder. I have the insulin. They're insulated. Thank God. So I'd never, I would have got cooked. So then I go, I cut it. It just boom, blow, it puts a hole in the metal, blows the insulated snips. It's a big hole. They go flying across the thing. Power goes out. There was a, there was a plastic surgeon in there. They lost power too. He looks at me and he goes, it didn't happen. I'm like, we're the only people here. Like, it happened. And we need to figure it out now. Get one of the Guatemalan guys. That's fun. It was they like, they were apparently mid procedure and they lost power. Yeah. And he was like, this didn't happen. I'm like, no, this is a problem, dude. You have to deal with this right now. Fuck that. I would walk away. That was the credit card down and dipped. Dude, I would have gotten, if I had non insulated, I would have gotten thrown off a ladder. I would have fried. That was always the worst of like fuck. I just would fuck up. I'm an idiot. So I'd just fuck up shit on the job. You know, I do stuff wrong. And I forget. Did they say do this or do that? It was always my dad was my boss. He had to ask questions. Third question to your dad. Oh, no more. What the fuck? Tell you, read the blueprints. I can't. Dude, I don't know the scale. That's the way. That's the way he is. That's what the podcast is. Yeah. Fucking Bluetooth. Dude, go to my truck on the third panel. There's a blah, blah, and I'm like, okay, back there's a fuck fuck. Fuck is it? Fuck. Come back. Oh, Dad, I couldn't find the request. He's like, we'd be on the roof, put in fucking units and he'd like run downstairs and get my fucking channel locks and my 70 teens fucking walk you do. So I got a walk across the roof of this fucking warehouse. Climb down, get like four ladders. I get out of the truck and I go, I can't find it. So now I got to go back. Nothing. I couldn't find a walk he do's, you know? And he's like, they're fucking right next to the other one. Jesus Christ. I remember handing in a contractor the drill the wrong way. Like handing it to him like, yeah, fuck, fuck you. You're pretty cool. Meet new groupie setting mist from Maybelline, New York.

I go, I thought and he goes, I'm not paying you to think. And I went, dude, that's so true. I'm not going to think and roll it. I'm in a carry and shit roll. I'm not here to fucking refine the process. I'm just here to carry shit. That's it. Yeah, that was it. It was a pure, it was a pure body. The height of my accomplishments was we were setting units on a, I was doing shit that I shouldn't have been doing legally, union, trade, everything wise. Yeah. And we were like a two million crew trying to set units with a crane on a fucking building. And my dad's got to set the temple. My dad's setting or whatever. Who's running the crane? The crane guy, but they pull up. They go, hey, they're here. Let's go. No, that's like a cement truck to like, dude, I got seven more. Yeah, let's go. I'm not, we're not, this isn't like, they're like $5,000. Yeah, let's go. So my dad goes, you got a fucking, because you couldn't see, he had to go, we had to go like 20 feet in. And my dad had to, we give him signals. Oh, dude, talk about tense. Like a third base. No, you really do. Yeah, dude, up, down, hold and I'm like that. That was me being called into the nose out the world. You couldn't tell me shit. I was at the bar with my boys that day. We're on it up. Drink some meat. Yeah, it was. Nothing better than being a boy and being like, hold, hold on. Hold on. That's operator shit. Oh, oh, being point on a seal team, dude, and tap it on the back of a truck to let them know they're all good to go. So my day, you load it up. You're good, guy. It's like sending someone off an ambulance yelling at somebody to back up a little more like, come on, you got it. You got three feet when you know how much they got you get up. You got to say stuff. Yeah, that's all I just want to be in the, I don't want to be doing this shit. I just want to be strong. It's so fun. Yeah, it's great. It's so fucking fun. It's great with the lunches. Looking back, I should have not ate the way I did. I didn't know we were like six hot dogs at like 11 o'clock standard diet in the middle of winter. My dad and the truck for a half an hour, listen to the KYW. He's been hitting like she's fucking out for lunch. She's like a pizza for lunch for like 45 years. That's crazy. You get ice cream on the way home. Just chaps and lunches. And then would work wouldn't affect them. He's got a pretty severe time to die. I'd have half a tasty kick. I'd be fucking done. I'll see you guys on Monday. Fuck that. No, it's so yeah, construction is it was the funniest, funniest way to like work as a child because then I try to like, I went to college and I went into an office finally for the first time. And I was, I remember being in an office, I was in like, I shared with one guy and I was a coming back from like the weekend and being like, dude, so I got my fucking head this and the lady boss came in and was like, whoa, excuse me. So you cannot be talking like this. I'm just talking about getting head. I was in the office like, yeah, so I got this weekend. What'd you boys do? Jesus Christ. I for like wasn't even trying to be funny. I was just talking about getting my dick stuck. Like it's the first thing in the morning. I got a recap, any sexual conquest. I'm going to do this and I'm going to be racist after this. I'm just hitting all the pieces. I don't want to sit on a bucket for a little bit. That's fucking awesome. The lady was like, excuse, I'd never worked with a woman. She was like, excuse me. And I was like, whoa, what's up? What's up, tuts? Are you dry all week? What's the fucking problem? What's up? Are you driving a lunch truck? I feel I went to all boys high school and then I worked only with guys. That's fucking recipe for girls. You strengths are a good weekend. Dude, I left my family's company. I could meet my brother. We're fighting. I was just like, I got it. I'm like, and it just started fist fighting like, yeah, by monthly. And I'm like, this is too much pressure. Like there's no money. We haven't done that. The business was the business was tang. Like it was everything was just going. Bay was tough. I got to get the fuck out of here. So I went and I got an office job at a law firm just like doing a counting of entry level like fucking $12 an hour. And I remember having to wait to stand in line to clock out. Like we couldn't clock out till five o'clock. And we were all like lined up at 459. And they came and they go, everybody sit down to find no lining up. I remember text to my brother. Like, dude, don't you got to stay the course, man. She's not for us. We're not. We're not. We're not going to say for guys like us. We can't do it. We're not waiting line kind of guys. No, that was my dad's whole thing. He was like, go to school, the work where there's air conditioning. That's like that's the same thing. That's super. My only life goal is to get me AC. Yeah. You got 70 here. What the fuck? You forgot your roots. Guys, we're worried about his plan, dude. I was only life advice. He's like, bro, working air conditioning. So much better. I remember my dad giving us a speech of like, you know, somebody wanted to go take another one of our guys when they got to like an offer to go to another job because I don't know why you want to go out there. They're breaking ground. You're doing that shit in the winter. Don't that shit in the summer. We work in supermarket like we were like, then he's like, it's hot. It's cold. It's hot throwing the winter. It's cold during the summer. What more do you need? But you got lunch right there. The devil. He's right. He's completely right. He's locked in for a guy who's like, I'm going to be, all right. I'm a pipe fitter. Yeah. I'm 18. I'm a pipe fitter. What lane do I want to go in? Yeah. And it's like find a place where you're working inside, not working it. Flexing air conditioning in your dicks like that is sure. Let's go. Beautiful. Early quits on Friday. - Why did not call for early today boys? - Dude, I remember it's so funny, 'cause I'm thinking of it like it's boyhood. I was like 26 working for my day outside. And it was, I had the like the full bodied car heart with like a hat gloves. - 'Cause I know you shit. - I had all the warm gear I could possibly get. We'd get there and it'd still be dark in the morning. And I would just be cold. - Yeah. - Like it just, it wasn't enough. So I would just be like for like three. And then the sun would finally like come up. And I'd be like, oh fuck. - Yeah, you're lips are all chapped, your skin's dry. - That acceptance of like, I'm just like, this is my reality for the next six hours. It's just, I'm just gonna be cold. - Dude, we would sleep in, we'd do overnight. So we'd go to, you know, we'd have to be there at 10 p.m. and then work overnight, like digging, you know, we'd have to cut the fucking floor out of a supermarket.
