Starting point is 00:11:22 have my reasons but we're here about to find out right now Mikey where did you grow up did you go up on Long Island Long Island New York and out in Suffolk County New York which is not the classy that's not the good one oh we're well aware pal yeah it was fucking I was I grew up 516 area code and then they had too many people they had to split it up and then they gave the 516 to the rich people in Nassau County and gave me the 631 so I'm gonna be a little bit of a wait I'm coming in from the island I'm waiting I'm waiting on the train the LIE is a mess I grew up in like a very you know like I don't know where in the
Starting point is 00:12:13 middle class it was but like we were suburbs you know but there was also like someone on our block had like a car on their front lawn you know what I mean but then my next-door neighbors had like a giant beautiful in-ground pool so it was really like a house-to-house space sure that's how that's what we're finding out you know the suburbs especially to because like so I grew up in like a really nice area it was all like doctors and lawyers and chip but like I was my family my dad was a like he was a steamfitter he was like he let but then he started his own company so like there was like the blue collar
Starting point is 00:12:45 guy you know like the blue collar families of the area and then like the white collar families and it's like from house to house it was like it changes yeah my house had a shed in the back that's still not finished to this day you know what I mean I was like oh we're gonna build this and then just never done unfinished projects is a real thing in my house hold so true when a bag of soil or like mulch has just been sitting out in the front lawn forever yeah my parents bags of mulch yeah my parents marriage it all just was like a series of things they were gonna keep doing but decided to quit because my dad always bitches
Starting point is 00:13:20 about that because our neighborhood is very similar that it's it's it's middle class all the way but you have new people moving in people you know buying their parents houses you know put money back into the house cleaning it up trying to get the property value up and my dad did that you know like he put a lot of a lot of work into the house and they'll be like two or three neighbors that will drive by it'll be like what the fuck you know fucking grass is overrun there's caught your cars in the fucking yeah it brings the whole property value down at the whole neighborhood you know I'm looking I'm thinking about like my
Starting point is 00:13:50 across the street neighbor owned like a spackle company my my next door neighbors were police like he was like a undercover like narcotics officer and stuff and really now that's the guy who was calling fully funny funny stories so I grew up with the you know he was the father I used to hang out with his kids because they were like closer to my age and I went away to college and then I went into the city for college and I hadn't and then my family moved my mom moved down to Florida so I hadn't gone back to I hadn't seen him in in years and then I was in Times Square like transferring trains and I saw him like on
Starting point is 00:14:26 the job he was like working with a couple of the police officers and I came up to him and was like I was like fucking 18 or something and I was like what's up Sam and like like patted his shoulder and like I gave him like hey how are you and like he just gave me like this look of being like he he initially was very alarmed and then kind of decompressed and was like yeah usually we don't we don't let people touch us when we're on the job yeah we don't we don't let idiots run up and like you know fucking smack our ass yeah give us no geese but yeah I realized also fucking Fini almost got this guy
Starting point is 00:15:01 clipped yeah he's named in there with four Dominican guys in suits you still on the job you still busting those criminals hey what do you got what do you want a wire right now you know this guy this guy's a killer right there why he pulls the Fini pulls a thing from blowing deck so I'm trying to grab my dick you see that guy grab my dick dude and I really try to grab my prick we called it we called it so Santa Reach was the town because it was right in the middle of Long Island but but it would always was referred to as like Santa Rico which I always thought was this like cool like we're like tough like
Starting point is 00:15:37 you know we call them Santa Rico and then I'm realizing now it's just because everybody was Puerto Rican I realized it was a heavily poor my neighbors were Puerto Rican everybody was Puerto Rican like that was a weird thing we grew up with diversity but a weird type of diversity like we always it was like a I always was friends with like a ton of Spanish kids ton of Puerto Rican kids ton of Asian and Filipino kids but there weren't like and a lot of like so many Jewish and Italian people that like I couldn't even tell them apart you know because Jewish Long Island Italian Long Island is the same fucking thing but
Starting point is 00:16:06 but we didn't have like I had like three black friends that were in my neighborhood and the rest of that was like that was that was the only thing where it lacks some diversity yeah did you eat over the Spanish kids houses dinner yeah a lot well they and they had five kids because of course and it was a lot of that in there it would be like you know rice and beans and stuff which I love my house but I problem was I was like such a crazy eater when I was a kid I would get so hungry I'd be like eating like plates full and then they were babies having me and they had to eventually be like yeah we got to save
Starting point is 00:16:44 food for the rest of the family you're like eating all of our food you're eating the family food yeah yeah he is a big eater man he does eat a lot first what's your mentality what are you spider-man what's your metabolism I have a very I'm blessed with a very high metabolism for now though because my dad is six one two eighty and he was not yeah and he used to be my size but here's the thing he never he worked at UPS for a while when I was growing up so he was like like manual labor like was like in that kind of shape and then he transitioned he like ended up quitting that became a stockbroker and never
Starting point is 00:17:18 since then he's been sitting down for 20 years so he's been so now it's just all Guinness and he doesn't ever he's never belonged to a gym you know what a fucking career change what goes from UPS to fucking stockbroker what is this yeah he's like a senior wealth advisor now he was he was literally like yeah he was in UPS he decided to quit with his buddy to start a small business and then right after they both quit like it was a two-prong effect of the guy who the guy who he was going into business with like got cold feet and backed out and then also he found out that like if he had stayed at his UPS for like another I
Starting point is 00:17:54 don't know like couple months or whatever they all got like crazy promoted so like he like tried to not avoid a quick narrow mental breakdown there and the midlife crisis but then yeah it came out the other side much better for it I guess did your dad go to college so he went to yeah he went to a bunch of different colleges I know he went to like he bounced around he did like a year at like Wisconsin he went to NYU for a little while but I know he got his he got his masters from from Dowling which is no longer a school anymore it was a long island school they would always play this it was like a this soap company yeah
Starting point is 00:18:28 I would always play this commercial and it had this this this little song theme that they would go and they would go Dowlings the college on a river bank on banks of the whole wide world I don't even know what that meant but that was the song that they would play every 40 seconds and now it's out of business the reason I asked is because my brother he worked on Wall Street for about 15 15 years or so and the dudes that I always liked the most like all of the people that he would bring around were the guys like that who got into it later and didn't go to some of them didn't go to college if they got if they got in like

Starting point is 00:34:51 inch subwoofer in there a pioneer amplifier I put about like like $700 or more of like sound system into a thing that only had a radio until that point and had like manual locks like it was just the the oldest car but it fucking boom boom dude that thing rattled I love it I could see that even wear a hat sideways I bet you wore a hat sideways didn't you I maybe tried after watching the Fresh Prince but I never it always hurt my head never made sense to me I tried to do I tried to I don't have a hat in here but I tried to engineer my own style which was it was what was how did I wear it I wore it like I've seen
Starting point is 00:35:35 pictures of this by the way around the internet like way up into the like you know what I mean it was like an it was like an off to the side and up kind of a thing but fuck what was the lead oh that was a thing though the growing up along Island everybody did that with their cars they're like everybody like a 1992 Honda Civic and then put $6,000 into it so that way you would know how cool you looked when you died in the drinking and driving yeah of course dude of course that was I remember dude I had a 95 or six Chevy Lumina first car got the keys right the fucking Best Buy got some fucking Pioneer six by nines have them
Starting point is 00:36:11 in the back got a new head unit fucking good night killing it you worked about you ever steal from work when you were a kid no but I did get fired why are you trying to get some speakers fully I got fired for theft from Best Buy but I didn't actually steal so they were it was a weird time when I was working there I was like the only innocent man in Shawshank everybody get out of here who you talking to well listen I get this is a two-pronged thing so it's just gonna be it's gonna be Feeney and Cannon down in San Juan today so I was in a I was in a chest together yeah I was a seasonal employee there so it was like
Starting point is 00:36:55 Friday hold on that's garbage right there if you've ever been a seasonal employee your track that's just a 16 year old trying to get money for his subs all right but so they right at the same time they had this huge problem with theft where they were like finally they finally were able to like target it was like this really tight investigation they were having and they've lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to like an inside job so they were trying to they were looking at closely and so around that time they I went I was in the back in the warehouse and I noticed all of these like Xbox games had been like cut open
Starting point is 00:37:33 and the discs were just missing it was just the cases and I was back there and I was looking for something else but I was like holy shit these games are all missing and then I'm like here I am touching them I don't want to be accused of this so I walked them right up from the back I walked them right up to the manager and was like hey this is all in the back look at this and they were like oh thank you so much for bringing it to our attention and then that week I went down to North Carolina for I think Thanksgiving or something like that and then or maybe it was for like Christmas and then I came I they called me while
Starting point is 00:38:02 it was there telling me that I was like fired and because and I knew other people that worked there and they told me that they checked the tapes and from the tapes the cameras in the way back of the warehouse pointing this way so they only saw my back and then they saw me touching these games and then they saw the game cartridges empty so then they thought like he thought they thought that I was this mastermind that was stealing these Xbox games of being like wasn't me because I'm turning it into you you know so it's a pretty good play though looking back and listen I did steal because what they would have like CDs
Starting point is 00:38:35 whenever the CDs cases would get cracked even if the CD was okay they would say to throw it in the garbage so rather than throw it I took some like Jimmy Eat World CDs and a couple other things but then it turns out the guy that actually was stealing everything who stole over $200,000 worth of product in the 10 years he worked there was this guy in the camera department who they fucking loved who was named a rod ironically cheater and they just they made a he was like the beloved like you want to be like this model employee and that was the guy who was stealing. Now did you ever hunt this guy down and get
Starting point is 00:39:04 your revenge for setting you up? I mean I was I was alright you know he was like it was a fucking neck I had a lot more to lose I think that guy went to jail he must have. Because it reads like a fucking Keanu Reeves movie I like. It's a real felony yeah well I didn't I didn't really care about the job that much you know. In high school my buddy used to work at Foot Locker and talk about garbage he would tell us he'd be like yeah well he needed cash right everybody was stealing everything but when he needed a little bit of fucking scratch he would tell everybody in school you know what I mean he'd be like yo I'm running come come through the
Starting point is 00:39:36 mall tonight I'm running the 2 for 70 deal which is where you have to you have to know your size you don't get to try them on but you walk in and you go I'll take those and those and he would go and you tell him the size he would come out with them already in a bag come up to the register give you like a fake thing you hand them the cash like we would just get shoes 2 for 70 you just couldn't take Jordans or Tim's because they had like their own inventory system for those like they double-checked those but like any Nike's or Reeboks or anything you just go we just get fucking shoes and then they finally got caught they were
Starting point is 00:40:07 like yeah they were down like you know four hundred thousand dollars in merchandise after like six months we'd go in and like prison for that that's like a high felony I think somebody did because they would then they would all steal from each other like the Jersey store like sports favorites would trade your jerseys for shoes lids would trade you this for that it was all crazy the dynamics of mall theft is a real trashy my buddy worked for a kiosk in the mall for a proactive and he stole I mean thousands and thousands of dollars what's pro act oh the like they say the acne face cream he was moving that what
Starting point is 00:40:45 the fuck that's crazy I talked to you girls for a second over here a couple of blemishes now he's trash hey pizza face get your ass over here he's one of those guys that grew up on my block that didn't have they had a porch you had to like because their house was like a little elevated you needed to like go up a stairs and a porch to get to their front door so it was probably like if you were standing was that like eye level the bottom of the door and they never had the porch until I was like 15 so they just kept going in through their backyard or garage every day like over a decade to build it yeah yeah that's
Starting point is 00:41:17 fucking if you get him on here he's that's right under construction I like that you know what was another one has anyone in your family ever have you or anybody in your family tried to sell cut-coe knives no we were not knife salesman that was a big one door-to-door pyramid scheme knife salesman well I do have some of my kids that I grew up on the block with are way way way into amway what's amway amway is the the other pyramid scheme where you sell like you sell like the fucking like supplements they used to just sell like soap and now they sell like supplement everything like energy drinks and then it's all
Starting point is 00:41:57 weirdly associated with like church and stuff so it's very gaudy and I don't get you yeah yeah you have friends that are doing that yeah yeah that are like high-level like medallion diamond members which I guess means they've taken advantage of enough people I don't understand I don't know that's real yeah I need to do that I went one time to was like in college or whatever and like I saw in the newspaper like hey you know sales paid training come in so I went in there was like 30 schmucks all sitting in there with like you know your dad's suit on or whatever we're all we're everybody was like oh if I can get a
Starting point is 00:42:32 sales job inside it'd be good you know like these were all blue collar guys trying to be trying to get a white collar job usually how it works and the guy was like he just got money from it was like Flavia it was like Eminem I know it was just some fucking bullshit like blender we've tried to talk on people and he's like listen he brought me and he was listening you hide it I go oh great man thank you so much like this is awesome and he goes all right just give me a check for $288 for the machine up front and then you're good I'm like I'm not paying you to work here you know weird when you have to pay to work
Starting point is 00:43:06 somewhere like this is no no way I almost got recruited into Scientology when I was in college in Seattle dude do you like what they had to say we went out to Seattle for spring break as we were thinking about moving out there in the summer me and my buddy just to spend the summer out there and we were wandering around looking for jobs and like we didn't even notice anything we walked by this building that's how old Foley is when you could wander around and look for jobs anybody higher in here I'm strong as an ox and I get up early every morning anybody I'm strong as an ox and I've worked down by the doc so
Starting point is 00:43:42 we walked into this place and like this like smoke and hot lady came up to us and just like hypnotized us immediately and was just like oh you know yeah we're interested in and looking for people and they had us take this test and like we took the test and like we were sitting there and like just like if she was just asking us all these questions I'm like I don't know the thing where you held that the thumb yeah what was that where they tells you you're gay or whatever yeah I like to look up to my head I'm just looking for something part-time guys you have anything seasonal yeah you were looking for just trying to get just
Starting point is 00:44:21 trying to get a new head unit just anything are you guys all for Betty's what's the deal here no and then all of a sudden like we put it together like cuz she went out and then they brought this other guy in like the next level guy to like talk to us and are you happy and yeah something like that and I remember we turned around and we saw Dianetics L Ron Hubbard's book like on a wall like they got like a bunch of them and then we both looked at each other like it was like something that a fucking Tommy boy like good skin and we fucking took off at the door I didn't know I was just I didn't know what Scientology was until
Starting point is 00:44:59 like the South Park episode of Scientology I think like four years ago yeah that's what I'm saying if in the 90s I stumbled into some place with some hot chick asked me if I'm happy I would have for sure joined I am now because when I was a kid all you saw was the book the commercial for the book Dianetics by L Ron Hubbard it was like volcanoes blowing up and you're like I thought it was just like a science fiction absolutely absolutely a science fiction I thought at first I thought his name was L Ron like I thought I didn't know was L dot Ron how I thought it was a superman
