Welcome to another exciting edition of Are You Garbage? The show where you find out if your favorite comedians are classy individuals or absolute trash. Now, here are your hosts, Kevin Ryan and H. Foley. Hey everybody out there and welcome back to everybody's favorite new podcast. This is Are You Garbage? The show where we sit down with your favorite comedians and find out if they grew up classy or if they grew up trash, baby. I'm your host H. Foley coming at you on a beautiful day here in Astoria, Queens, where the bodies are stacking high. I'm not going to lie, it's getting a little dicey over here.

My co-host hit the ground running the second he saw trouble. He was the first man on the lifeboat on the Titanic coming at you somewhere in southern New Jersey. Our old pal, Kippy, Kevin, James, Ryan, everybody. What's up, buddy? Down here in Casa Blanca Studios yet again. Back at the hideout. I'm at my parents' vacation home in South Jersey and there's definitely a lighthouse theme going on here. And some signs that say, I'm looking at one right now that says, teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat all summer. So that's kind of where I'm coming at.

Rache, Megs. Good stuff. And that voice that you hear is our very, very, very special guest, our good pal. This gentleman that we have on the show here today is one of my favorite comedians. He comes all over the city. Anytime I see this guy's name on the lineup, I'm excited to be on the show. You've seen him on the Chris Gethard show and he was a writer for The Break with Michelle Wolf on Netflix. Ladies and gentlemen, that is all well and good, but we got to find out. Is this guy garbage? Greg Stone, everybody.

First of all, let me return and say, both of you human beings, when I'm around you, I just feel better. You are, you literally, you know, how many times when I go to a fight, when you are a comedy club and you know these pieces of shit walking around me, shit whole human beings. And then I see H and I go, oh, we're going to be safe. You're like the white light. You want to have fun, baby. We're going to have fun. We do. Kippy. I never knew that you went by Kip. Yeah. Kippy came from, I was on the road with, and I didn't even know him, but I was driving out to a gig with, you know, Keith Robinson for who's like, you know, the listener, if you don't know, he's like an old school comedian. Like he's the king of the cellar table, you know. And by the road, he means you were in Allentown or something like that. Where was he headlining?

We took a road. We did take a road to Allentown is what I was trying to say. And he was acting like he didn't know my name. I was in the passenger seat. I was riding shotgun of his car while he was being driven in the back. And he's just going, what's this white boy's name? What's his name? With a K something short. And then he came, he landed on Kippy. Before we got back to New York, everybody knew me as Kippy. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, I love, I love him. He's one of these guys who if you can take him one of two ways, you can go, ah, fuck this guy hates me, fuck him. Or you can go, no, no, I'm making it right back and he'll love you.

Yeah. First time I ever met him was when all this T I shit was going on. And I walked into the back of the table and he's sitting there and he's just screaming. T I was right. I don't know if you remember, but T I like asked his like daughters, pediatrician to be like, see if she's still a virgin or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shit. People, everyone, all the, you know, all the like super liberal comedians were there being like, this is fucked up. And he's staring in their face going, T I was right. He was right. But it was like just digging into them. I was one of the funniest things.

He's absolute. He's the absolute best. Another great story is we all went to see the Ninja Turtles movie that came out because he takes a lot of comedians. We all go to see midnight showing of like big movies that come. It's like a New York comedy thing. And like he, uh, so we went to see the turtles and the whole week leading up, we'd see him in the village or whatever, going, you about that turtle life. Are you about that turtle life? So it was like the first, you know, the remake, the first remake.

And, uh, so we went and obviously the movie was fucking terrible. And we made it through like 20 minutes and it gets to, and we all start realizing, oh, this movie is going to be bad. And it gets to a point of complete silence. And he goes, man, fuck these turtles and he stands up and walks out down the hallway. Dude, it was fucking phenomenal. That's hilarious. When you can get a theater cracking up these days, that's pretty good, man.

I'll be honest with you. That's not too shabby. It is fun going to the movies with them. The first time I went to the movies with them, it was cotton brought me and I'm like all nervous and like everybody's there. You know, when he, when he organizes those movie nights and all that shit. Um, it's like fucking high school, you know, who's seen with who, who's this and that. Then he's sitting there talking to cotton.

I walk up and he was like, a lot of fuck. Did you bring this white boy? That's funny. He probably thinks we're the same guy. He probably thinks you're the same person. He probably does. I would always guarantee it. Yeah.

I love that. When comedians call me by a different name, that's, that's like one of my favorite. I never correct them. We have to kill Martin. Lori kill Martin thought I was Tim Dillon for about three years. It was the best my career has ever been. Oh man. Literally.

Yeah. That was the closest to getting on Rogan you'll ever be. All right. But that's either here or there. We're going to talk about Mr. Greg Stone. Greg, I want to know a little bit. Tell us how you tell us where you grew up. I'm not sure.

Are you a Long Island guy? I think you're a Jersey guy. Right. Oh baby. I'm dirty Jersey. Oh yeah. We got to get some for you. We got to do a screening process.

We can't not find garbage. Yeah, man. I'm from like a block. I'm from this town. Bloomfield, which is a block out of Newark and East. I grew up a block out of Newark and East Orange. So it's like 30, 40 minutes away that my dad was from the Bronx. So I spent the weekends in the Bronx.

So it was like divorced family shit. What was the like, what was the house was like an apartment or was it like suburban? What was the town looking like? I mean, it was, it's like, you know, it's, it's houses. It was like a small house, but we live very, very close to each other. You know, like we, I, my next door neighbor, we had like a can and a string and we would do that.

Wow. Nothing wrong with that. That's awesome. Yeah. You leave it to beaver. We did it. And then we're like, this is stupid because he could just hear me because I was speaking loud enough.

He could hear me. And then we stole some five year old power ranger. Walkie talkies. We just sat and did that. That kid was crying. Yeah. I was going to say that that was the move, man. You always wanted to have the walkie talkies where you could talk to your

friend on it when you were a little kid. The houses were too far apart. You couldn't hear anybody, but that's fucking pretty sweet that you can pull that off. That's like something at a big. Yeah. That's real goonies shit right there. It is very goonies.

Love the goonies. Oh, wait. You said you grew up a block away from Newark. Yeah. I was like the corner of Newark and East Orange and then Bloomfield. So like we had where I lived literally was like the most cars stolen, like in America because they would steal the cars, then drive right to Newark and the cops wouldn't chase them.

So they knew they could just come right on our block and no one. I had a Chevy Blazer that the window. We've got into Blazers on other episodes. I need a great car. Yeah. 1984 Chevy Blazer. The window wouldn't go up and jam it and then pull it up. And then one day I get pulled over,

I pull it down and dropped it by accident, shattered the glass in the window. The cop goes, well, then that's your ticket. That's your ticket right there. You poor bastard. Here you go. Yeah. Going forward, it would rain and snow and it would go into the window.

And because I lived in Newark, they would steal every car radio I would put in and I worked in the car radio department at Sears. So I was just stealing car radios from Sears and they would steal them from me and they knew that I was replenishing them and they'd come like we can take them and the wires would sizzle. It would rain. It would sizzle the open wires and I would be driving person in the back

in a blanket and a snowboard helmet just to keep warm. It was, it was a wild ride. Let's call it a day guys. I think that wraps up the whole shocking garbage quiz. Did they start putting a request for the radio like, Hey, can you get a subwoofer and it's like, I kind of wanted to talk to him. Like, look, just ask me what you want. What'll make you get that shit for you?

And then let me have one. Let me just have one for the rest. It's just hooking them up was annoying. And of all the things that I remember Sears selling, I don't remember an audio visual department. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man.

We had not anymore, but I think because of me, they stopped. I worked with a group of people. There's a dirt bag and new work. That's killing our whole entire. We got to make a move on this. 15 head units this week. I was a normal. I was like, I was not a thief at first.

And I'm worse working with these dudes who worked in Patterson. And the way it went down was this guy's looking at the radio. And he's like, here's how I would steal it, whatever. And I was like, nah, that's dumb. You'll get caught. What you got to do is return it, buy it, return it, mark it down, purchase it. This is where you get like, I did this whole went through the whole system.

And how do you do it? He walks up to me about a week later, puts $100 in my hand and he goes, Hey, thanks again for that tip, man. And I went, what, you just like, yeah, I sort of got, he was like, that was him being like, you're in now. Yeah. You took the money. Now you're part of us.

Yeah. Now you, what else you got? Cause he had stolen a $2,000 Bose surround system, sold it and then gave me the money. He'd be brought up on Rico charges. The second you take the money, the whole thing goes down. You're part of the team there, Stoney. Right.

Stone getting his taste. How old were you? 17 at the time I was 17. Go ahead. You guys might be too young to remember this, but I remember, I think we've mentioned this on the podcast before is a couple of my buddies worked at Best Buy. Like when Best Buy started getting popular and the system they used to have was you would like, you'd buy the thing,

but then you'd go over to like a conveyor belt where some other guy was working and it would come down from the storage up top. They had like a storage upstairs. It would come down like luggage and dude, these guys, we're robbing this fucking place lying. I don't know how they fucking stayed in business. Dude in ours, in my department, in one year, you'd look at where like,

if they had a map on where internal theft was, my department was this big on the map and it was a hundred little red pins. And every other department was like a thousand dollars, thousand dollars. Our department 75 grand in one year was stolen because three dudes, me and like two other guys. And let me tell you this one other, let me tell you this quick story about this other guy.

So it was me, these two scumbags who I love. We were three scumbags and this one black guy who was very like a white black guy, like a Carlton kind of guy. Like he was very professional. He was like sweet. He was the best with customers. Everyone loved this guy and no one ever talked to him. No, we didn't,

no one ever talked to him about the dirty shit. We were like, we don't involve, we don't involve him. You know, like he's too innocent, right? We're all doing our fucking thing. One day cops come, pull him out in handcuffs and we go, what the fuck did Todd do? What the fuck did he do?

Right? I see him years later. The scam, he was running scams. He was so, I don't even think he was a sweet guy. I think it was just all character he was doing. He got caught on wire fraud or something crazy. He stole an Infinity G20.

Now, what does that mean? How do you steal a car? Sears? Yes, Sears doesn't sell cars. How does one steal a car from Sears? Oh my God. Here is how you do it. He, at Sears, you could have a,

you could pay your Discover card at the register. So you could pay your Sears card or your Discover card. Yeah. That's fucking garbage, man. I used to do that shit a lot at retail place. At like department stores. You could go and pay like your phone bill at May season shit. And yo, if you got a Discover card,

you're fucking three places. Take that. I know. Dude, he bought a car on his Discover card. And then what he would do was, so I was trying to follow the logic here, right? He would return. He would take an object or he would return a piece of like a

thing, like a car radio for $300. Now that means money is supposed to leave the register, right? So now the register is over $300. Gotcha. Right? Now the thing he returned didn't exist. So what he would do is he would return it, then mark it down and then have someone buy it for $3.

So some object that did not exist, car radio would get marked down like 50% then sold. Now you don't have to find that thing that was returned. He takes the difference, right? He would take the, he would take the difference between the return point and the selling point. So the difference is the extra money that's now in the register.

Now he would then take his discover card and pay off the discover card with the difference. Wow. So he's, every month he was doing the scam to pay the car payment through this thing. And he was doing it, it was a little bit more complicated than that because you,

you couldn't, he wouldn't ring it up under his number. He would do it at different, right? Like it was just a whole other thing, but when they fired him, they brought him out handcuffs because they knew he was doing something, but couldn't figure it out. So he goes,

he goes, they got me for absences. They didn't get me for stealing. He was like, it's like when they got fucking, you know, that mob guy on tax evasion, you know what I mean? Like they could get a component on tax evasion,

a component on tax evasion, but he was driving an infinity around that he stole from Sears. And I kneeled to him and I was like, you're the, you were the fucking king. We didn't think you were doing anything. Wow. That's pretty good.

Are you garbage? This is fucking scam school. Right? Wait, who got him on Sears got him on absences? Yeah. Witness, not witness protection. What's it called?

Floss prevention. Floss prevention brought him in. What they would do is they'd bring you downstairs and they did this to me a bunch of times. Sears has their own police force. What the fuck? The security would bring you in cuffs. It was like,

that's not now back in the day fucking. Yeah. Sears was the land of the law back in the 90s. Dude, they could do whatever the fuck they wanted. Yeah. I don't think they could. I don't think they couldn't bring you down cuffs now anymore, but,

or I don't know how it worked, but they cuffed him. They brought me down one time and the right as their, I was 17 right before they're bringing me down. This guy, Angel looks at me and he goes, whatever they ask you, you just say, you don't know. So you don't know. And he like whispered it.

They bring me down and they were like, looks like people are a lot of money missing from things. What are you doing it? And I'm like, I don't know. We're like, we know you know what do you know? And I was like, I don't know. I just stuck to my guns and they went,

yeah, get out of here. What the fuck? What is our sheriff? It's Sears. Dude, that is fucking crazy. The lords have scum working.

It was us versus them. Like every day, you'd see lost prevention, come up and you'd go, all right, everybody act cool. You know, and then we had one guy who was in on it. One guy,

why didn't know, but he was getting a take. One of my men was paying him on the side. And so like, ah, we got Jerry on cameras today. We're good. Dude, it was

fucking wild. Dude, it was out. And I left that job because it got so bad that I was like, I don't want to go to jail. And my dad worked there. So my dad was in the Richard department.

I'm like, if I get caught, my father is going to know it's like his pension is gone. I, we had this one guy. And then I'm sorry, I don't want to take up too much. No, I fucking love this.

What are you kidding me? The Sears Chronicles of fucking Newark, New Jersey. What the fuck? Jerry's on the cameras. Don't worry. I feel like we can make a movie about this. Good fellow style. I fucking literally,

I kind of want to write a show about the two sides, you know, like the good guys and the bad guys. It would be fun. Um, but they had, um, this guy Chris and he was a fucking, uh, coke head white dude,

frosted tips guy. Oh, that's kind of guy starts working with us. And he's just blatantly stealing shit. Right. And we're like, yo, you're going to get us all pinched.

Right. So we were like, yo, this guy, yo man, you got to get out of here, man. You're too crazy. You can't just do this shit. And he just kept stealing and security kept coming up.

So we had like, we were, you know, we were shut. We weren't really doing much at the time. Uh, he eventually, um, but he, you know, like, so what I did was I had these, we had these stickers that you put on like CDs that would send the alarms off. And one of these fun bits we would do is you'd walk behind someone,

and then wherever whatever store they went into the mall, it would set the alarm off. So we're walking back and I just fucking threw a few on him for, for laughs. He walks through the Sears exit. The alarm goes off. He sprints. He sprints to his car,

gets in his car and takes off and security was like, what the fuck was that about, man? Right. We're like, yo, he's not coming back. He's not coming. They, we don't see him for like three weeks. He shows up shirt and tie, walks over the register. Like what's up, Greg grabs two plastic bags,

walks into the stock room, fills the plastic bags, and then just walks out of the store. Like just like, this is a robbery. Like what we were doing was like little scams. And then this fucking guy, they, they got him. They got all, yeah, I'm garbage. Is that what this podcast is? Stone fucking set this guy up to get him out of the way.

I fucking Tony Soprano did the feature. Man, dude, he was the fucking Patsy the whole time. Holy shit. Greg shows up at the guy's house. Hey, can we have a couple of TVs in your house for a little while? Get a little heat on me. He's talking to the other guys. He's like, listen, I got a coke can.

He's in, he's, he's, he's right for the picking. Easy fall guy. How do I know you're not going to turn on me for a little bag of white powder? You fucking embarrass me. I love how when fucking, you know how devious stone is. Well, every time stone said somebody's name, he would whisper it. We had this one guy named Chris.

Yeah. Holy shit. I didn't say last names though. No last names. You know what I mean? HIPAA or whatever. Of course. All right.

Well, you're definitely fucking garbage. I don't have my numbers in front of me. Yeah. But you're fucking trash. Well, let's ask a couple of questions. Let's play a little are you garbage with a consigliary Greg Stone over here? Yeah.

The whole time they were like high school kids. They're like still running fucking for the mom. Those guys were older. They were like 30 or something or 25 or something. But I was super young and I was like, I would just kind of tell them how to do stuff and whatever. It's funny. My hands are clean.

I feel like Kevin, haven't we talked about that? If you were a little kid and didn't have a job where you worked with men. Yeah. Yeah. You're a total pussy these days. Like that's how you knew your garbage. I remember having like dishwashing jobs and it was like me and like adults. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. They would like you. They would like give you your first cigarette or something. Solo match. They want tear loose pants too.

They use hair replacement and their ass loss tats on them and stuff. I have court. Well, I always looked, I always looked at like the camp counts. I'm like, this kid's a pussy going off to like play. Oh, yeah. N-Won msanto pelato fucking, you know, scrubbing pots and pans in the back.

Fuck and bull shit. My next job, I ended up working at force of since security, which is like what are we doing here? Yeah. But I didn't do anything. Now, I fortunately was different. They'd sold jewelry and shit.

So I was like, you know, I'm not fucking with this like federal. But it was just like a job. And all the guys in security were like ex cops or cops on the tide on the side. This one of the cops walks out to me one time. I'm probably 20 years old. I don't know.

Probably younger 18, 19. I don't know. Welcome to the cop smacks me in the ass. So hard. I almost threw up right in front of the head of security. Head of security looks at me and goes, Hey, Greg, did that bother you? Is that a thing I need to write?

Like clearly sexually harassed me, you know, in a violent way in front of this guy. And the cop looks at me goes, Yeah, Greg, was that a problem? No, it was like, not a problem, sir. No, no, no, no. These guys all have fucking guns and shit. Just salting me. So man, that's fucking too funny.

All right. Let's start off with some questions here. Kathy, what are you thinking? Yeah, let's all hit them with some of the, some of the kind of the regular, the ones that are becoming regular themes. And plus a lot of people are writing in with their own opinions on it. What do you do growing up as a kid? Did you do milk for dinner?

Milk for dinner? Like at dinner. This guy was fucking grand. What are you talking about? He was having a glass of red wine. That's what the fuck he was doing. Look for dinner. No.

Dude. Follywood's fully, fully family would sit down with like pasta and meatballs and sausage. And then he would get a fucking glass of 2% right next to it. Like a fucking jamote. The day milk hit the table on my, my stepfather would have called us all fags. Go fags, drink milk.

My stepdad was a cop with psychopaths. Like, no, we were not drinking milk. Yeah. I did not know this about stone. And I got to say, man, we've asked the milk question probably almost every episode. That was the best fucking reaction for dinner. What am I?

What am I a cat? What do you mean milk for dinner? Like out of a salsa, you want me to drink this fucking milk? So funny. No. Okay. I'm just fucking knocking over check cash in places.

I'm asking if you drank milk for dinner. All right. What about in the half now? So you grew up in an Italian household, right? Yeah. I mean, my dad, my mom was like mostly Italian. My dad is fully Brahms Italian boy. Stepdad was a German cop.

And he kind of who's who I was raised by a lot. So what does the stone come from? Stone is my mom's name. My mom is like 80% Italian, but the stones are like, they're like, they signed the declaration of independence. There's like all fucking shit in history. And I'm like, I don't even know that because my real last name,

Coraloozo Coraloozo. That's such a funny last name. They don't hire me at fucking Sears with that name. They know. No, no. Wait a minute. Hold on. Did you say your family signed the declaration of independence?

Yeah. Thomas Stone signed the declaration of independence. And he's direct relative to me. And you're stealing blenders at Sears. Some American royalty. You are a stone. I fucking love it. You're getting taken out in cuffs.

You're getting the declaration of independence. This is fucking bullshit. Yeah, man. What about, um, so, so it was kind of an Italian household. So your mom was old school in that regard, correct? Ah, really? My mom's Italian, but she's not like, my dad's side is all like,

they're all like these fucking God bones, you know, my mom was just a nurse. She was like, she's Italian. She knew how to make a cook, but she wasn't like, my mom was like a super strong woman. She wasn't like, I have to take the children. You know, like she wasn't like that. She was just, just to know who my mom was about six months ago.

I call her. I say, all right, mom, see you later. Love you. She goes, bye. And I went, mom, you have to say I love you. Yeah. And she went, you should just know. Oh, what am I pushing over here? Let's go. I'm finding out all the shit that made me a comedian,

like later in life. That's great. So was there ever any, any margarine or country crock in your house as a child? No. I was a big country household. Dude, that's garbage, man. My house.

Keykid shit. Country crock. It's so funny. I was so margarine and like promise and like all those brands that I didn't even know. I still look at regular butter is like trash. I'm like, it's wrapped up in paper. Give me a lid.

Give me a fucking airtight seal. What are we doing? Come on. Something whipped. I need something whipped over here. Let's go. My house. We didn't see a vegetable. My wife is a nutritionist. I didn't see a vegetable till I was 26 years old.

Yeah, man. You know, it was, we eat meat. We drank Coke. There was butter. And that's like, that's the fucking thing. That was the nineties was fucking stuff, crust, pizza and wild cherry pepsi. Nothing wrong with a little stuff.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. All right. If you were to make chocolate milk, do you put the milk in first or the chocolate? Oh yeah. Yeah. Well, I have a system for this because I do enjoy a chocolate first every now and again.

You do the milk. Like a gentleman. Milk and you pour the chocolate and as you're doing it, you're stirring so you can regulate the chocolate first is stupid. How dark is that going to be? Dude, more and more people do that. Foley does the chocolate first.

I think List and maybe Norman both did the chocolate first. People are writing in that they're like, if you put the milk in first, you're an idiot, which that's the way to do it. Milk first. I gotta be honest though. I think I used to do chocolate first every now and again. Now that I think about it,

because I knew the level of how much it would give me. That's what everybody says. Yeah. What's the syrup though? What's the syrup? It was Hershey's. It was a Hershey's guy. Gentlemen.

Gentlemen. Okay. That's the thing. I remember for one time, my mom got stuck on the generic America's choice from Super Fresh. That was like, that was just might as well been brown water dude.

That shit did not work. Hershey's is fucking legit. Why are all your questions dairy based? I don't know. I was just finding out garbage is what kind of butter with a milk do you drink with a chocolate milk? So do you like turn your own butter? What kind of you?

You came for eggs. What are you doing? All right. All right. Sorry. No, please skip. Go ahead. The last kind of base.

The one of the common ones is so you grew up in a single house. Did you have a garage fridge or like a basement for it? Like a second fridge in the house. So we did. Right. This is why I thought I was rich when I was a kid. But we had a meat guy. We had a guy who'd come to the house.

Of course you did. Carl Luzo. We had a meat guy and he would give us a bunch of fucking meat. We had it in his downstairs freezer that also in the freezer, you should know, was dead animals that my stepfather hunted. And above the freezer was guns that my stepfather used to make. He would take the M one grand,

which was the gun they use in World War two. He would get the old pieces and he'd refurbish them and then rebuild them and then sell them. I don't know if that's legal. I don't know how in New Jersey you can sell guns, but he did it one time. So sorry to, sorry to go. No.

He grabs me and I was like seven or eight years old and he shows me the gun stock and he goes, you see these CDs crosses. And I was like, yeah. And he was like, those are the fucking Nazis that were killed with this thing or some shit. And I was like, all right, man. All right. I'm going to make some chocolate milk.

I'll see you later. I'm going to go back and watch Smurfs real quick. I appreciate that. I see all the guns. He goes, all of these guns killed Nazis. What have you done? And I was like, I don't know, man. And I go, judge, what do you, when all, and it all goes down.

He goes, I go, what are all the guns for? And he looks at me and he goes, for when it all goes down. That is what he said to me. I was seven or eight and he goes, I go, hey, George, when it all goes down, do I get a gun? And he goes, no, but you can hold your cock and cry for your mommy. That is what he told me at seven or eight years old.

And I was like, I don't have a cock, dude. I don't know what you're talking about. I still don't, to be honest with you. What the fuck? Yeah, I have a wiener. I still got a pee pee. I got a little noodle. I don't know what you're talking about.

Got a fucking linguine down here. We're talking about a cock. Holy shit. Greg Stone. This is unreal. I got one, one more food question for you. You have a choice between these two items. What do you go with?

Sponge cake or pound cake? Man, this is a hard one because I don't know. I just got into these things as an adult. As a more elegant man. George didn't put out a nice sponge cake with some fresh strawberries. He's going to be kidding me. George is a Nazi hunter.

Yeah. Didn't have a nice Entomans lemon pound cake on the table when the company showed up. Yeah, that was for the apocalypse. Hey, don't touch that. Don't touch the devil's food cake. That's for the apocalypse. I'm hiding grenades in there.

Funny you should say that George's main love was the chocolate Entomans donut. The yellow inside. Nothing is better than that. Dude, I just walked by that at the Acme. A whole fucking end cabinet case of them. And it took me right back to childhood. They were made for stepdads, those things.

That's the fucking step. Stepdads get those for fucking Christmas, those things. Yeah. They're called rich chocolate frosted donuts. That's what they're called. Ain't nothing rich about that. There's only poor people eating those things. Dude, you dunked those in milk.

Ice cold milk and it hardens up the chocolate. Yeah. That was the only time milk was allowed at the table. Because when we would have those George would go, you can dunk that if you want. I'm gonna blow your hair back, baby. Otherwise it was black coffee at the Stonehouse. Yeah, dinner.

1985, first Christmas, my stepfather is, I meet my stepfather. For Christmas, he bought us a gift. He bought me, he bought me Go-Bots, which were the knockoff transformers. I was very, very happy about them. I open it. I go to hug him.

He puts his hand on my head and went, men don't hug. And that is how I met my stepfather. Jesus. Who is he? The fucking Marlboro man? What the fuck? Spitting image sergeant slaughter of the old wrestler.

He looks exactly like that man. That's also a GI Joe character. Yes. One of my favorites. I love the toy more than I love him, which is crazy. That's great. I would love to see the scene of George going out

in the 80s, a couple of days before Christmas, trying to buy Go-Bots. I'm looking for something called a Go-Bot. This is a pet boys. You don't have me. I got this kid at home. Oh, man. Oh, it's a sponge cake.

I like a sponge cake. Sorry. No, it's okay. I've never been to a petting zoo, Greg Stone. Have I ever been to a petting zoo? Oh, recently. Actually, I went to my parents moved up to, they moved to Pennsylvania and now they have like,

they have like this place. It's like the Tiger King shit. You know, it's like Billy's Billy's bear house. You know, man, that's trash. Pet some goats. And those are fun. Like I love that. Where in Pennsylvania?

What area? They live in the Poconos. They live in like a place called the hideout, which is they just moved up there like a few years ago. Nice. Poconos is clean living. I think the bushes house up that way. Yeah.

The place I, my parents live in the hideout, which my mom was not this Italian, but the place is called the hideout because it used to be where old mobsters from Jersey would go to live to hide out from, from, you know, when it would, he would come around the corner. You know, what's funny is the, the Irishman really shined a lot of light on that,

that there was a lot of like, even like Scranton, Pokesbury, Pitston, the Poconos. Yeah. There was a lot of fucking New York and Jersey mob and Philly mob that like was in that big circle because, you know, out there who was looking. Yeah.

Yeah. There was also a lot of money because there was a lot of vacation and resorts and shit out there. It was like the Catskills kind of. So it was like a place to get away to. So there was like money flowing in, you know, the trucking, the unions, all that kind of shit. Also Foley, just so you know,

it doesn't, it doesn't matter what you say to me. Every time I see you, I go, he's Italian. I don't really care. He's Italian. He's one of us. He's one of our guys.

What are you talking about? I am not even that kind of Italian, but I'm like, he talks like, he's one of us. Are you crazy? He don't know. Hey, Foley, how's your Nona?

I was the only Irish kid working at seas, stealing things. And that's when I met the world. That's when I met Greg Stone. That's how we did it back in the day. Me and Stone, the kid from Bloomfield. Just let me a C note,

Foley, go steal that air conditioner, bring her on back. Just the Carl Lusso's coming by. That's the only person, you're the only person who ever said it right. That is exactly how you say, you fuck Italian fuck. You know you are.

You're fucking on the run from somebody. You piece of shit. No, he just doesn't have a real identity. He's just always been doing characters. And in the nineties, he just hit on good fellows and fucking stuck with that. He's not really,

he just, he's, he's, he's been acting about who he is for fucking everybody. And unfortunately, he's the only person that sees the real him. And it ain't pretty. I'll tell you that much. That's too funny.

There's no real human being. No. Are you from Jersey, Kevin? No, no, no. I'm from Philly. Yeah. I'm from outside Philly. Okay.

Philly garbage throwing through baby. Okay. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Have you ever, or this is a part A and a part B. So answer A and then I'll, then I'll fire B.

Have you ever ordered Domino's 555 deal? So I don't want to see, I'm playing for a hundred percent garbage all the way through. Or they also have the 777 deal, which they came out a little later. Who I am and what I am. That's an,

Domino's in my house. We had once a year because it was, it was inappropriate. I'm Italian house. We ordered from Amici's. Okay. Amici's pizza was the, it doesn't matter.

They could have charged us a hundred dollars. My house was not letting Domino's through the fucking door. Okay. We had, we had the real, we had to have the real shit in Jersey, which a lot of people don't know. Northern Jersey has some of the best pizza in the world.

It's just, it's that, because New Yorkers, they live there and then they fucking move to Jersey. Anybody lives in New York gets a little bit of cash and then tries to, you know, it goes out to Long Island or, you know, so we have a great pizza. Amici sounds pretty fucking good.

I'll tell you that. Oh fuck the Amici's man. They were good. I got one here. Have you ever gone on vacation to Florida? No. Done. No vacation.

We did Disney world once and we never went on vacation. I went on vacation twice because my North end friends, parents felt so bad for me that they took me on vacation with them. Oh man. That's a big garbage thing.

Have you ever gone on vacation with friends? Oh, I've done that. I've done that. Your parents give you like 50 bucks to send you. Yeah. That's not going to last you two weeks in a rubo with the fucking cartwrights down the street. Yeah.

You're sleeping in a room with some aunt that's also on the vacation with the family too. I had that man. I had to sleep next to some guys aunt. Brutal. Brutal. What was the full question? Think about how she felt.

The full question was, have you ever gone on vacation to Florida where you didn't go to one of the shore points or Universal or Disney? Anywhere else in Florida, you're fucking garbage if you went there. If you're going to like the middle of the country. Yeah.

Like the Band-Aid or something. My mom is originally from Florida. Like fucking barefoot. They had someone who bought, they were like classic redneck Florida people. One of our uncles or something had a, had a billion dollars because they own land that Disney bought.

So it was that they bought like all this land from them and they were like, you just shit people who ate snakes with no sneakers who then became million because Disney needed their house. But I did technically go on vacation. I'm aligned to Destin, Florida, because my granddad moved there and I got to go. That's all right though.

I mean, you're going to visit family. That's a pass. That's a, that's a little bit. Destin, Florida. That doesn't sound good at all. No, no. I feel like that's our William Defoe lives. I don't know why.

Go ahead, Kip. All right. Anyone in your family ever owned the minivan known as the Ford arrow star. Yeah. I think my brother had three arrow stars. Dude, an arrow star stuff. They all smelled like eggs and sulfur dude.

Every fucking arrow star got a gas leak. Some an oxide was leaking. They always had a red interior too. What the fuck was that red leather interior? What are we doing here? Wait, I got to look up to make sure I had the arrow star, but I'm pretty sure my brother had an arrow star. It was like the, it was like the spaceship look in minivan.

It was the first like, uh, like sports edition. Oh my God. So I think stinks. I didn't have an arrow star, but my cross the street neighbor did. It was, we used to call it the chocolate bus. It was just Puerto Rican dude named Emil who would, uh, just play nothing but fat Joe every time we got in the car.

So we would drive to the chocolate bus, which was an arrow star. Listen to the fat Joe. Oh, that's clean living right there. Hell yeah, man. God. That is too funny. Is there a drawer in your house now? I'm going to say, okay.

Is there a drawer in your house right now that has like packet to catch up soy sauce, plastic forks, et cetera, et cetera, things like that. Well, you are tipping on right now is such a contention in my marriage. This is because my wife is a classy, good human being with a good heart. And she married a son of a bitch from New Jersey. Yeah. We don't throw that God damn duck sauce out.

I swear to God. We have that. We have the drunk drawer. She gets mad at me for my junk drawer. It's just screws from who the fuck knows what an old battery. Yeah. Yes. A couple of wires, some plugs that don't work anymore to electronics.

Who the fuck know what happened to them? Three poker chips. I don't know. This is the miscellaneous. I used to love the drunk drawer. The top half of a transformer in there. No reason growing up. We had multiple junk drawers.

They just like kept spilling over into other drawers. Yeah. We go to a kid's house where the dad had like his shit together and there was no junk drawer, but the dad had like a perfect toolbox and like the garage was all done nice. Then I go to my fucking house. My dad did junk tours, got drill bits, half a drill, a flashlight that doesn't work.

Some fucking Zippo from Vietnam. Zippos were big in the junk drawer. Dude, if I went over your house and you had your, your extension cords were hanging up in your garage. I was like, dude, we can't be friends. What are you doing here? I have extension cords hanging right there. I bought a coat hanger that hangs on the door for coats and I hang different

wires on them. Sure. Because New York's a little, New York, I do that at home as well. New York's a little different because of the space for sure. But if you got a garage and you're, you're so organized that you're fucking, you're, you're wrapping up your extension cords, like you're, you're making a fucking rat. You know what I mean?

That's too much. I see. In the classic way, like in the clean way, that's good. Yes. In the shitty way that is. I'm too stupid to put them in a box. So I hang them because fuck it. You got them on coat hangers.

That's fucking garbage right there. What about this real quick? Do you remember, this goes out to both of you actually. Do you remember the first time? This was out to Kippy and Greg down there in Jersey. I hope you two are getting through the Rona. Here's a little death lever to get you through the day. I'm H fully.

Hi. Hi. Hi. Do you guys ever remember a time when you were with your parents and they had to ask somebody for a jump. You're back. I remember that. My mom, the car wouldn't start.

And my mom's like, my mom goes to the, to the trunk and pulls out these fucking, these jumper cables, which I didn't know what jumper cables were at the time. And some guy was getting into his car next to us. She's like, Hey, you got to jump. I'm like, Oh, where's this going? You've made a couple of wrong turns. If you got to get jumped at like the fucking shop, right?

Super parking lot. Dude, my, my, I live in this weird craze. We have like the suspicion that my mom was a gambling problem because she was like the head of an ER, but we lived in a block out of Newark. Never had any money. Never had anything. So like every night, my mom would always have like, not a nice car, but a car that worked.

And one time my sister needed money for, she fucked up somehow and she needed money for college or something. I don't know what the fuck it was. And my mom goes, all right, hang on, leaves, comes back four in the morning, hands my sister $3,000 and goes, there you go. And so my mom was a card shark. She would just play five card stud. So she needed money.

That's a fucking bad ass game. Five card stuff. You've had a couple of fucking, a couple of guns. Hold on. You're playing five card stud drove to Atlantic city. Went all night in some poker tournament or, you know, pie up, pie down, who knows, but came back with the money and had it to my sister. And this is like, I don't fucking know.

Now we're all like, we never had money because our mom had a gambling problem. I mean, it's so clear. It's gotta be. We don't really know for sure. I hate to shit on my mom. I love my mom. It's pretty crazy money. It's questionable what the fire.

Money was going. Yeah. It was going. And yeah, it was very weird. What's that got to do with getting the car jumped? Nothing. I just like to talk. Stone's just good.

Stone's just confessing the crime scene. He's like, you guys are talking about right, this is you can't talk to them. You just can't go to the feds with this kind of stuff. Right. We're talking about cottage cheese. And so there, my mom is in an alleyway doing. Yeah. Do you ever take a man's life?

I have no idea. I don't know. Oh my God. You're lighting these weird, you're lighting these weird memories that are coming out. That's kind of the thing that everybody realizes is like, holy shit. I haven't thought about that for so long. It's yeah, people are really digging it. It's cool.

All right. I got another one. Why were, have you ever looked for car parts in a junkyard? Car parts in a junkyard. Yeah. I got to go get a headlight, you know, or whatever. My mom did that, man. She did it a couple of weeks ago.

Look. She was drunk. Your arrow star back. She was drunk driving and hit a side swipe the fucking mailbox. My, uh, my next door neighbor released three brothers named Jose. It was Jose Manny, Jose and Osalito. There was a three brothers. They were all named Jose and they were the spilled cars in your backyard and shit.

And we jumped the brick wall to get into some guy's garage. Uh, cause they had like where the car parts were to find like, it was like the back lights of a Honda Civic or something. Yeah. We got some and then we found there was fucking dog hence junkyard dogs fucking start chasing us. We had the fucking climb this thing and jump back. Um, just a fun thing.

It was, it was the back lights for, it was the front lights for my, most of my car out of Volkswagen golf, uh, GL teal. It was the same color as this, this shirt. Cause I just wanted one so bad. I wanted one so bad that I didn't get the color. It didn't matter. Yeah. I got hit in the front.

I got hit and this is how they fixed it. I had no money to get this car fixed. So we jumped the thing to steal the lights. We stole the lights then to fix the front end of the car. Um, my friend, the Manny goes, this is how we fix it. We don't need a guy tied a rope to the front of my car, to the frame, tie the other end of the rope to a tree and then slowly reverse the car. And it straightened out the front end.

Right. And then we literally fixed it ourselves, put the lights in three or four years later, uh, similar situation. I'm like, I don't know how to do this. I remember so many did this. I tie it to the front, tie it to a tree, hit reverse. The whole tree comes down on my fucking car. Oh my God.

I told Manny was like, dude, you gotta get a bigger tree. Oh my God. That's insane. Yeah. Looking back was again, I was a little ass tree. So it didn't do too much damage, but it fucking, it smashed the windshield. I hooked it up to a rhododendron in somebody's front yard. Yeah.

That's too funny. I kept the plant though. It's actually a beautiful plant. Jesus Christ. All right. I got a, I got two. So shout out to all the listeners. First of all, rate, review, subscribe, all that kind of business.

If you haven't already, we appreciate it. But people are hitting us up with a lot of fucking questions. He's having a live? No, no, no. No, but I forgot to do the, no, I was there emailing them and stuff. Oh, sorry. No, no, no. It's fine.

Like cops listening? Wait, hold on. I thought with three of us were just talking to you. What's going on? You scumbags. You fucking betray me like this. Any use way in a while. What's going on here?

I don't know if we're going to be able to get to all of them. Not definitely not whatever. These are two from Drew. Have you ever hung out at a grocery store loading dock? Grocery store loading dock. Now people in my family did because they worked there. I didn't, but I used to hang out at the ER loading dock where the patients would come in.

So I worked in the trying to get a couple extra bills that fell out of someone's pocket. Looking for Percos. He's got a script pad on him. All right. And another one. Have you ever been in a competition to get a watermelon out of a pool?

Cause I for sure have. Have you ever done a grease watermelon? Yeah. What? Nothing on that? No. Oh yeah. It's like a sack race.

Like a fucking gentleman. I'll fucking put an egg on a spoon and run back and forth. There's been around a baseball bat. A grease watermelon. It's at swim clubs. You know, like on July 4th, whatever. And I used to go to fucking rich bro's swim club and we did it. We did it.

We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it. And I used to go to fucking rich bro's swim club and we'd fucking grease up a watermelon once a year and throw it into the deep end. And there would be like two teams, like 10 and 10 or 20 and 20. And you had to try to get the grease.

It was all covered in Vaseline. You had to get it off to the other side. Real garbage shit. And then everybody would each man. Everybody would eat the watermelon. No. Greasy watermelon. You don't eat the rind.

You know what I mean? You just eat the red. You just lick it. Slipping on everybody's hands. That is dirty. You were playing on train tracks. Greg Stone. You were playing on the train tracks.

Yeah. Well, we didn't call them train tracks in our town. It was the tracks. You go to the tracks and on the tracks. That's where we would ride bikes because they'd have like trails and shit. And you'd have to jump over homeless pedophiles. We'd try to get you because that's also you had two types of groups hanging out at the tracks.

You had kids to try to smoke cigarettes and homeless pedophiles. We're trying to rape kids. Look at this whole cigarettes. And if you found the right rock, you could find some pornography, but that's those were the tracks by our house. Oh, that was the finding, finding porno mags in the woods. Man, that was like fucking finding El Dorado. That was fucking, that was every kid's dream.

You pull over some piece of plywood and there was a couple of fucking cherry magazines. Like, wow. Dude, there was a, there was a deli by my house that I look, I walk into the deli and you'd see like the comic books would be down here. And the top shelf was a porno mags. And then above the porno mags was this giant fan, right? To like, you know, air out the building.

And I look, I go, fan, there's no fence, right? Like it was just, you pull it up and pull it down. So I went back in the middle of the night and we brought a little brick, you know, like a little egg cart, you know, egg carton, you know, what are those things called? Those egg crates? Milk crate. Milk crate, right?

Milk for dinner crates. Reached our hands into the fucking milk for dinner. Reached our hands into the fan and just grabbed pornos. And we had, I was selling pornos in high school because I was, we wouldn't take you. I mean, what the fuck? And then they started in college. I started producing it.

They had to do that when the things had to cool down at Sears for a little while. When Chris was running his mouth. Do you remember the first one I ever stole was called Tushy Con Con and it advertised a thousand percent anal. Oh man. A lot of anal. Oh, we had a thousand percent anal in this VHS.

It was a VHS tape. I remember that shit. That's crazy. Oh Jesus Christ. All right. Have you, I'm assuming this is a yes. Have you ever gotten cable from something known as a black box or a hot box?

Oh yeah. The black box man. We used to get WrestleMania's on the black box. Yeah. Black box is clean living in the nineties dude. Yeah. Maybe my one buddy had the spice channel. That was huge as a kid.

Dude, I one time jerked off to the squiggly. Remember it was squiggly. It would get squiggly. Of course. Yes. I was jerking off to the squiggly's and then it got clear for three minutes and I realized I was just watching Operation Dumbo drop. I was masturbating to an elephant's nose.

I think for half of it. This guy's hung like a horse. Jesus Christ. What was it? What was it about our hormones where just the idea of it? Like you would see those squiggly's were no joke man, but like you'd like catch like a little bit of a boob that a boob would shake and then slow and like roll up the side of the screen.

And I tell you what it was your fantasy of like what's going. If the movie would have actually been clear, you'd be like, God, it's whatever. Not whatever, but your fantasy of it. That's like script books though. Your imagination is way more enticing than what it actually was. My friend Amil, the kid I was talking about before, his TV for some reason was fucked up and from 8 o'clock Playboy would come out at 8 p.m. For some reason he always got the first four minutes of Playboy because it would

go from like the box, which is like a channel called which like videos, music videos and stuff at 8 o'clock the box would be done and it would switch to Playboy. But for some reason he always got the first four minutes of Playboy for real. Like he got it. And so he would VHS tape the first four minutes every night. So we had this VHS tape of just the first four minutes of Playboy and 90% of it was set up.

Yeah, but the idea that this was Playboy was enough for us. Yeah. That's enough for me now, dude. That's fucking genius. What company is this guy running now? Is he a senator or a contract? That's fucking genius. We've no idea why his TV would just give you it was just late.

It was just the first four minutes of the squigglies wouldn't come in for like four minutes or something. I don't know what that was about. It's crazy. Crazy. Kippy. Yeah, I got one or two more here. Have you ever waited in line to shop on Black Friday?

As a retail employee, there isn't a sale you could give me that will. I will degrade myself to doing that. Yes. I'm like, I don't give a look. I get it. You want to go fucking get yourself, you know, you want to shop your kids. I'll pay. I don't give a fuck.

I'll pay the money or I won't have the fucking thing. I am not. I worked on the other end of that and I refused to ever do that shit. I would pay an additional 20% to not fucking to not do that. You know what I mean? To be like, I'll pay. I'll pay more than full price if you just bring it to my house. Yeah.

Yeah. We used to like going shopping on the day after Thanksgiving on Black Friday. But for some reason, it wasn't like that. We would just the whole family, like the extended family, the cousins would go to the King of Prussia Mall at like, you know, 11, 11 o'clock, we go, we hit the food court. It was like a fun day. It wasn't like that. No way.

The first place the Foley's went was the fucking food court. Yeah. A little walk and roll in this. You know what I mean? You guys ever in an orange Julius? That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Dude, where are you?

Are you my cousins from King of Prussia? They used to do a pizza place called Spinelli's over there somewhere. I know Spinelli's. Yeah. I don't think I've ever eaten there, but I know what you're talking about. I'm like maybe 15 minutes north of King of Prussia. All right. Yeah.

Just on the other side of Norristown. Buxton County. Is that right? Is that a thing? I live in Bucks County. I live in Bucks County. My family's from Bucks County. Yeah.

Yeah. I dated a girl from Maniunk once and she showed me brunch. I was like, all right, I like this brunch business. Yeah, brunch. Yeah. Maniunk's brunch is a very Maniunk kind of thing. It's all like rich college kids. It's like where like they get a job in finance and then move to Maniunk.

George wasn't a big brunch guy growing up. You didn't do a nice little cantaloupe with a nice frittata. Yeah. Maybe a mimosa or something. For breakfast. We had London broil. Salisbury steak for breakfast. Is that an unsalted potatoes?

Oh my God. I just got one last question. I 100% might be the most garbage that we've had on the show. And I say that, I say that with warmth. I say that with love. Of course. I don't, I mean, this is, I mean, I don't know.

I don't know who else elicit illegal activities to shady. I'm so proud of myself. I think, I think Don Lee, Don Lee was pretty trashy as well, but Don Lee was pretty trashy. Yeah. His dad, like his dad was like a bodyguard or a bouncer to McDonald's or something. I don't think people usually realize like the piece of shit that I,

I think people look at me usually and they go, Oh, it's just like a fun white guy from white town USA. It's like, Oh, it was a real piece. You throw people off with very long time. You throw people off with the comic books and the action figures and then all that kind of stuff. It really, really throwing you off. I'm doing that now because I couldn't do it when I was a kid.

You know, I'm just getting to be the child I want because I had to be a man when I was 12. So now it's like, I'm going to do all the toys now. Yeah. For sure. I didn't tell once because you stone, you're very nice and personable and hey, walk in, hi to everybody. You're like very, you know, you're a great guy.

You're a great guy. I think it takes that a lot. Like you learn that from being like, Oh, I was a piece of shit before and I've seen, I have associated with known criminals and like all this stuff. So like you live, I think, you know, you're that when you live it, when you have a trashier upbringing, you live more of a life by the time you're 20 than a lot of people.

So it's like, you realize you're, you're like older and wiser and, you know, you're like, I don't need to do all this. I'm just polite to everybody. He's fucking chumps. Anyway, yeah, this is so much fun. You guys are great. My final question for you, Greg stone is, have you or any member of your family ever owned a time share?

Cause George sounds like a time share guy. So it's hard to say because we, so we technically didn't, but we didn't have to because our neighbors did and they had some kind of deal where it'd be like, I'll fix your car. You let us use a time share. And then we were going to the Poconos. It was like, oh my God.

It was in the Poconos. We had a time share in the Poconos, which why? I mean, it was, yeah, that's way to spend 35 bucks a year. Why would someone do that? I never said that out loud.

We had a time, they didn't do this time share in the Poconos. And it was like a shittier house than the one we lived in. And they lived in going to a worse place. But yeah, that's the closest I had with a time share. Oh, Greg Stone, you are absolute garbage and I love you buddy.
