Now here are your hosts, Kevin Ryan and H Foley.
Hey everybody out there and welcome back to everybody's new favorite podcast, Are You
Garbage?
I'm your host H Foley, sitting to my immediate left is the fucking brains behind the operation.
He's the Tony Mantoya of the podcasting world.
He put this whole thing together.
My number one, ladies and gentlemen, gonna hit you with a little bit of business, Kevin
Ryan everybody.
Can't be telling what they need to know.
I'm excited and offended by that intro.
Happy to be here everybody.
Real quick, thanks for tuning in.
Thanks to everybody that left reviews and shared and everything like that.
We really appreciate it.
Thank you.
We are going to get to the game in a minute, but first I want to introduce our guest this
week.
Super excited to have him here.
Ladies and gentlemen, check this out, ready?
This guy has not only been on the late show once, but he's been in it twice.
Once with David Letterman, once with Stephen Colbert.
He's been on Conan.
He's been on Last Comic Standing.
This guy's got a fucking Comedy Central half hour.
He's going to be on the new season of The Last OG.
He's got a brand new show on series called Celebrate and went to the combine in the NFL
last year.
I told him to fucking stick it.
I'm staying with comedy.
Ladies and gentlemen, Sean Donnelly, the big dogs in the bill.
Happy to be here, fellas.
That is a resume.
The only question is, is he garbage?
Am I garbage?
And I say, I've been thinking about this all morning.
I say no.
Sounds like a long day for you.
Is there?
Is there a thing?
We're going to play a game.
We're going to play a game.
Is there a situation where somebody turns out not to be garbage?
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Far on, in this endeavor, no.
We had Mike Cannon.
We had Nate McIntosh.
I saw Mike.
Canadian garbage.
Yeah, but Nate grew up as garbage.
No longer garbage.
Exactly.
So, like, you can phase out a garbage.
You can turn to garbage.
Okay.
But, like, I also, I'm not sure, I would want to know what you think.
If you think you are, because growing on paper, you got a couple of blemishes, you
know what I mean?
Here's the thing.
On paper.
He's old school Irish.
You're an old school Irish.
We think we're Irish.
This guy's fucking Irish.
But, yeah.
You got Long Island.
Long Island.
That's a fucking, I mean, dude, it's that.
Red flag!
Long Island.
Like, I understand there's a nice one.
Sure, we got one on the radar.
This guy's from Long Island.
He ain't one of us.
Long Island.
What about your attempt to escape where you're from?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
I don't think I'm not garbage anymore.
I still have garbage qualities, but, like, growing up, we were pretty trashy.
I'm garbage.
He's still.
I'm still.
I'm still.
I can't even eat.
Wait, my hand on my sweatpants.
See, that's more Irish than you, but you're a shanty Irish.
Yes.
He's a dady, dady people.
Wait, so let me ask you this, so, like, blue collar, as well.
Blue collar, as well.
Blue collar upbringing.
Yeah, my dad was a jail guard at Rikers Island.
Does that-
I don't know what that's just, that's fucking badass.
Never used moisturizer once in his life.
Never?
No.
Not even?
No, no way.
I've only used it maybe three times.
And every time he felt like a lady.
I'm like, what, is this a spa day?
I gotta go to confession.
What, is it my birthday?
What's going on here?
He's shant put lotion on now.
I had the Donnelly boys using hairspray.
His mother must be so embarrassed.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I come from a place where it'd be like, weird to use lotion and weird to go to therapy.
And now I do both.
You know what I'm saying?
You can't escape.
You try to escape?
You try to.
I don't know.
I have a lot of family members and a lot of people I could roll with that just leaned
the fuck into it.
And they're like, this is what I am.
Like, there's no, you know what I mean?
I'm joining the fucking union.
I'm getting a show house.
You know, all that shit.
Yeah.
I was an inch away from being that dude.
I was that dude.
And then I kind of-
I still find comedy.
I guess you can't.
If you escaped your background totally, I think you're kind of a pizza shit.
Do you know what I mean?
Yes, of course.
If you cut it off completely.
Oh, of course.
And you're one of those people that takes dialect classes to get rid of your accent.
I don't know what you're saying.
Whatever.
What are you talking about, Mr. Dawley?
What are these people that just gets rid of whatever accent they have?
Oh, my God.
That's fucking crazy.
Yeah.
So I feel like that can, if you're shaking everything from your past, you don't-
Sure.
You kind of don't deserve that.
I don't think I shook everything.
I think-
Unless you have like a side of an interview, but unless you have like a sleeper's background.
You know what I mean?
Something like that.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
If you're fucking-
Have you ever killed a guy with a hot dog cart?
Yeah.
You can fucking, you can shoot for the stars they're about.
Julia Roberts, Julia Roberts from Sleeping with the Enemy had a reason to fucking change
your accent and move to Charlestown.
Yeah, absolutely.
Sure, sure, sure.
Just Affleck from the town.
Yeah.
Just Robin Boat.
Speaking of accents, we were in Philly.
Philly has, you know, was known for their fucking Philly Long Island, you know.
It's all the same.
Yeah.
We should talk about that, though.
What do you think's the trashiest?
Boston's tough.
But it's also, see, it's always like the Alps.
Staten Island is pretty garbage.
Staten Island's tough.
And I was born there.
Staten Island's different than New York?
The Axe, but I mean, it's like Manhattan.
Oh, you mean-
The Manhattanites don't have the accent.
No.
You know what I mean?
It's an outer, like, but same with Philly.
Like, if you grew up in Center City, you don't really have that thick.
It's like Northeast, Delco, you know, it's like the surrounding, it's always like the,
you know, the more impoverished surrounding areas.
Yeah, and that's Long Island, too.
The farther you go out on Long Island, the more, you know what comes out?
That's another world out there sometimes.
Dude, I was out there once, and this actually makes no sense.
I was at a Burger King in, like, just to talk it, or, like, whatever it was called, like,
way out of-
Well, that's not the social echelon, I mean.
It's not like you went to the fucking museum.
Yeah, you aren't at the plaza, dude.
But what happened was, the girl behind the counter had, like, what sounded like a southern
act.
Like, it was that-
Dude, it gets that thick.
It gets that thick.
I used to- I used to have it really bad.
It's gotten way better since I've moved up here, and I just-
Who are you doing?
What are you doing later?
He's going down here, you know, like, over on street road, two for one.
It's all night long.
My six-year-old niece-
My six-year-old niece will say something sometimes, and I'll literally just be like, ugh.
Well, people used to come up to me and go, what part of the south are you from?
I used to work-
What?
Yeah, I worked at Macy's in-
I got it.
That's what I'm saying.
You're a racist.
That's what I'm saying.
The N-word a bunch.
People were like, what part- where are you from?
I'm like, Philadelphia.
They're like, no, originally.
I'm like, no, Philadelphia.
And they're like, oh, I thought you were from the south.
It's got, like, a weird drawl to it.
It does have a weird drawl to it.
But this one time, we were walking down the street and Philly were down there doing shows.
And remember with the little girls?
Doing shows.
Doing shows.
Yeah.
Doing shows.
When I go back, yeah, it's like you start dropping your R's, you know what I mean?
Hanging your A's.
So we were down there and the girl was talking.
She was walking in front of us.
She goes, hey mom, remember when we- yo mom.
It was yo mom, remember when we went to the aquarium and saw the hippo poop in the water?
And I was like, what?
I was like, you need to be the mayor of Philadelphia right now.
That's a fucking trap.
Hey mom.
Hey mom.
Hey mom.
See Long Island, if you have it, it's how you say where you're from.
So like, for me, like-
Where are you from in Long Island?
I mean, just saying Long Island.
Oh Long Island.
So you say Long Island.
Long Island.
You say it's one word that you're from in Long Island.
Long Island.
Yeah.
Philadelphia.
People say Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Eagles.
Oh do they really?
Philadelphia Eagles.
It's all mumbled together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eagles.
Eagles.
I'm from Nassau County.
I'm from by like-
I found this out last night.
Nassau County is the nice one, right?
Like, put it this way.
Suffolk is so bad that Hamptons wants to break free from Suffolk.
Like it's Quebec.
So break it.
The Hamptons wants to be their own county because of how shit Suffolk is.
They should.
I mean, they probably put all the money into it.
Well, the Suffolk cops are like the second highest paid cops in the country.
Because of the Hamptons?
Because of the Hamptons, yeah.
Wow.
It's pretty crazy.
So if you're like in the Hamptons, you're like either somebody's from somewhere else
and your family owns a house out there.
Sure, sure, sure.
But if you're from Suffolk, you are Suffolk.
Yeah, it's your area.
Yeah, there's nice areas.
Of course.
Yeah, but like, you know, most of the time it's like, it's a thing, man.
And it's also like when I go out and do the clubs out there, I'm like, this is part of
me.
Like, you know it.
Sure.
Well, Seinfeld says, no matter how big he's like, it's your, it's every part of yourself
you hate looking right back at you.
Yes.
Not attractive people.
No.
Yeah.
But I also like, I find, I embrace it a little bit because I went to the brokerage once.
But on the first times I like, like closed there, like headlined there.
And I was talking to the girls after it.
And I was like, I am so attracted.
Oh, dude, if you go, you go to the road sometimes and there's just like a trashy bartender.
I'm like, you're everything I thought I could ever get.
Ever.
Like you are like, as of now you've gotten better.
You're like, oh, well, like that's the top of the tank when you're, if you're just like
a roofer, a pommier living in Long Island.
You want to take her out of there.
You want to give her.
You want to get Janine or fucking Catherine.
You have Bruce Springsteen song.
Exactly.
You're like, if I could get her, if I could get Jamie down there, I'd have to be behind
the bar at the pub.
Oh my God.
If you get a hot bartender when you live in a small town, that's it.
I had a hardcore crush on the bartender in my neighborhood.
Of course.
And she's gorgeous.
And she's so cool.
And I like, for years, my early twenties, I was like, I'm in love with you.
I'm like, in my head, I'm like, oh my God, I want to marry this bartender.
Dude, we always used to go to the pub.
It was the pub in our own town after we got out of college and stuff.
And it's like, where the locals go?
Yeah.
And every year, there would be like a new fucking smoke show, small town girl in there,
fucking slinging your Bud Lights all night long.
And every time.
We're in like a tight referees uniform.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, how you doing, sweetie?
And you're like, oh.
Just a smoke show, tan.
Probably got a kid.
The whole, the works.
Yeah.
Got a townhouse, a couple towns over.
Yeah.
Everything's got a green light.
But everybody be like, you know, they'd be like, oh, who's hooking up with you?
I heard Johnny hooked up with Tina.
You know what I mean?
You're like, ah, shit, fucking Johnny, God.
Those girls love the assholes.
You're never, if you're the guy.
Yes, they do.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're the guy sitting there at the bar, being all sweet, falling in love with him.
Nah, you're the, you're the mark.
Yeah.
You're going to see her fucking blowing some dude.
You know what you are?
You're the dude at the strip club without the, without the lab dances.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not going to interrupt you, but you know what I'm saying?
Like, you're the dude.
You're basically the strip club dynamic without you actually getting lab dances.
Yes.
Because you're there.
I knew guys like that.
We used to go to this place with Croxley's.
That's garbage.
Croxley.
I don't know.
I've never been there.
Well, it was supposed to be.
I can smell it though.
That's how you know it's garbage.
Because it was supposed to be fancy.
Like, it was one of those bars.
They were trying.
One of the first bars when I never heard that whole like 100 taps or whatever it was.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
We go to the fancy bar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I bet you they're fries.
So we would go, sorry, we would go there and there was dudes.
I was never that with a girl that I liked that.
I was never, I would go there with my friends, but there was guys that would just come to
hang out with the girl.
Local, like the bar flies.
They almost thought they were in.
They were in.
I'm in.
I'm going to go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's that happens there.
Definitely.
And that's why the only difference between that and the stripper is, I shouldn't say that.
But I know it.
I know it.
I mean, in that guy's head, he's going for the affection and she's like, oh, I'm going
to, you know, housework Tommy or whatever.
And she plays along with to get the cage because they break those girls off.
You know, pretty, pretty hefty.
Those guys that are trying.
At least I used to.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You think you're like, she's never gotten 10 before.
That's for you.
I had a good week.
Don't worry about always asking her about her kid.
That's Timmy doing.
Now, let me ask you this.
Do you go back and go to that store?
That bar?
Yeah, we will.
We will.
And you see the kids.
It's like kids I grew up with.
They're still in there.
You know what I mean?
And every time you go in your overcoat and have like the limo wait.
Pull the car around.
This is where I came from, Johnny.
I got out and I never looked back.
But I'll still go back.
Yeah.
From time to time.
Like if my friends are in town and we're like, oh, let's go there to grab, you know,
drinks or whatever.
I'll go there and see.
You'll see a lot of different people, but then you'll see some of the same crew.
Like the guy who went to jail and they came.
Oh, yeah.
I know one.
I got out the Vinnie.
Yeah.
It's like one of those kind of guys.
And but then it's also a thing where I'm like, what I did when I was like 22.
Well, you probably guys put the same thing.
Like you tried to leave as quickly as possible.
Oh, I tried.
Yeah.
The older I get, the more I'm like, the more I go back and I'm like, oh, I wish I didn't
leave.
Like it's one of those kind of things.
It's really nostalgic for sure.
I also think it's like the kind of the simplicity of it.
You know what I mean?
Because we're comedies like a hard thing and you're constantly, it feels like you got a
gun to your head all the time.
And I go back and I see fucking Vinnie just still sitting there fucking slugging a shot
of J-mo and a yingling and a smoke in the city.
And I'm like, man, if I was doing that for the past 10 years, sign me up.
Yeah, absolutely.
You know what I mean?
Nothing but screen doors and time.
I get that too.
I never thought about that.
That I was like running away.
I guess I was.
I think I did it like Long Island's lame.
I'm going to go.
I'm moving to the city.
I'm over in New York City.
It's going to be better.
When you get to New York City and you meet everybody from all over, first off, you meet
people that are like you.
Sure.
Yeah.
You meet a lot of people that like don't, being from around here, and I mean all the
East Coast.
The East Coast.
The Northeast for sure.
There's a certain type of person, dude.
Of course.
When you go on the road for comedy, I'm like, some people are just like, ah, you talk too
fast.
I don't know who you are.
I can't.
I was in Des Moines, Iowa.
I might as well have been from Mars.
You know Mars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They were like, what the fuck is your problem?
I know.
You know what I mean?
I know.
Where are you from?
He gets it.
That guy gets it.
Like I can sit there.
I can talk to him.
He gets it.
He gets it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's easy.
Like there's no like, what the fuck is this guy talking about?
He gets it.
You know, regular guys that like, you know.
Yeah.
Guys that like, you know, put off therapy for a company.
Yeah.
You know, a lot of emotional drinking issues.
You know, that kind of stuff.
Regular guy.
You know what we'll do.
A lot of pent-up shit.
Yeah.
So an Irish Catholic, an Irish Catholic guy with a drinking problem.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
It's really what you're pegging us for.
Yeah, totally.
The three of us sit around here.
The feelings once.
No, dude.
It's totally fucking true.
It's just, I think the older I get, the more that makes me more like, ah, like, would
I move back to Long Island?
I actually thought of that.
My mom's getting older.
I'm like, would I move back there?
Would it be a good change?
Because now-
We've talked about it with you.
We've talked about it with you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is the change of pace we'll be going back.
Because I'm so used to being in Brooklyn and in Manhattan.
And I've realized it's changed me for the better, I think.
I do believe that.
For sure.
Yeah.
I think it's changed your eyes a little bit.
Absolutely.
Give you more experiences.
You don't realize how, like, narrow your thinking was before you left.
You have no clue.
You don't know it.
Then when you go back, you're like, oh.
And then now I'm like, but now I'm like, well, I want to go back because it's comfortable.
Do you know what I mean?
But I'm not going to, but I-
I understand what you mean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, yeah.
It's like an early retirement a little bit.
I can check out a little bit.
I can check out 25 percent.
Yes.
And just cruise a little bit.
That's exactly it.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And then you have a solid career.
If you get your headliner, if you get to a headliner status, I don't see anything wrong
with that.
You can pick your days in the city.
Yeah, I'm coming in.
I'm going to do, you know, I'm in here Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or whatever.
Yeah.
Kind of line up where you can get your work done and get the fuck out of there.
I still have this mindset of like, oh, I have to be doing spots every night of the week.
Sure.
But then what kind of changes when it becomes the headliner job, whatever it is, it's like,
well, you don't have to, you can mix it up.
You don't have to be just doing like random bar shows and whatever clubs.
Yeah.
Of course.
Of course.
You can pick and choose a little more.
But I'm like, if I fall off for four days, I'm done.
Dude, I'm done.
A lot of comics have that.
I think even Irish Catholic, I think it's even deeper.
It's like more ingrained in us because it's the guilt thing.
It's like, dude, the guilt gets you terrible.
The Catholic guilt.
And then it's also like that blue collar mentality.
It's like, I don't think my dad ever took a vacation ever.
It's like, you fucking work.
And if you're not working, he would like be like, yeah, fucking Johnny's on vacation.
And you fucking believe that guy?
I'm like, oh, okay.
Never take a fucking vacation again.
Otherwise, I'm a pussy.
We went on like two vacations when I was a kid.
Yeah.
Like Florida and like Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Oh my God.
That's pretty funny.
That's almost, that's a question on the game I have this week.
That's a question I have on the game this week.
I think KC, the Hershey PA.
Don't think about it from long on.
It's a little different.
We, there's no beach.
No, but I'm saying our perspective.
There's an amusement park.
I'm saying our perspective of it.
Big chocolate fans, huh?
The Donleys love their sauce, baby.
Love the syrup.
Real big Reese's family.
I couldn't check it in.
I've stayed at a hotel in Hershey PA.
Quinn Braggen.
Oh, have you?
He's a fucking Rockefeller over here.
A couple of weeks ago.
Went for the big convention.
I wanted to say about those shitty bars though.
The one thing that they do always have that's amazing.
They got a fucking nice fried sampler.
Yeah.
Their menus are done.
Dude, a chicken finger basket from a regional pub.
Forget about it.
It's fantastic.
The marinara sauce they have with those mozzarella sticks
at those places.
I don't know.
It must have been a cooking for years.
They know just how to fry everything.
That's what we do.
They've got either some miserable ex-con.
A miserable fat guy comes out.
He's sweating.
He's wiping himself off and then wipes his hands.
Complaining about the boss.
Yeah.
Fucking Charlie's got me working a double again.
He's fucking cocked.
And he's done that for you.
I don't care anymore.
He's fried those for that food a thousand times.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you work in kitchens growing up?
No, I didn't.
Never, yeah.
And I kind of regret that.
I don't think I'd be able to have been a server.
I would have lost my mind.
Yeah.
I used to have.
Well, you had a short fuse and you take disrespect.
You, doll dude.
He's like.
Folks, if you don't know, this kid's got a itchy trick.
This guy's looking for a reason.
He doesn't hide it well.
You see the flush getting his face?
Look out.
Dude, sometimes somebody will be at a bar.
Sometimes somebody will bump into him.
So like, I'm just making a supple.
Like as an example.
So I'm gonna like just casually like hit his elbow or something
because I'll be like, oh, I'm sorry.
It's like, you know, it's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
I'm talking to you.
Let's act as fucking proud.
I'm a psycho.
No, I have my things I get mad at.
You know what I get mad at now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get mad at, you're good.
I don't like you're good.
Oh, after.
When I go, oh, so I'll say sorry.
You're good.
And a couple of times when I'm feeling myself, I'll go, I'll go,
yeah, no, I'm good.
I just said sorry.
And then that's what it is.
He's got to get that itch.
He's got to scratch that itch and get that last line.
Oh, no, I know I'm good.
I know I'm good.
Hi buddy.
But it's like, why'd you say that?
Of course.
You know what I mean?
Why'd you say you're good?
I didn't say I'm not good.
I just said that.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
We get Dr. Phil in here.
Joe Petty, take it easy.
Are you?
I can't take a hole before?
No, the kid didn't mean that.
He's a little kid.
Take it easy.
I thought you said you were okay.
No, I thought you said you're good, Donley.
I'm sorry.
No, you're a good show.
I get mad at myself.
If I bump into somebody or if somebody bumps into me,
I instantly go, I'm sorry.
Instead of saying, excuse me.
I get mad at myself.
Because I feel like a pussy.
Why am I apologizing when we both bumped into each other
by accident?
You are a pussy.
I know.
I know.
And if they don't say anything, yesterday, I swear to God,
I almost fucking beat up these two teenagers.
I went to the gym.
That was not going to be the conclusion of that story.
But continue.
There's no way you've beaten up two or anything.
I almost got beat up by two teenagers.
All right, better.
Okay.
I would get killed by teenagers.
Oh, yeah.
But still, you go down swinging.
You still take a testicle or an eyeball.
You little fucker.
I went to the juice place and this kid fucking...
Got Apple.
This kid gets his juice and he drops it as soon as he gets it.
Like, you know, the teenager.
Like, you know, kid.
All over the floor.
Gets all over the floor.
He gets all over the floor.
He gets all over the floor.
He gets all over the floor.
He gets all over the floor.
He gets all over the floor.
All over the floor.
Gets all over the floor.
He doesn't really...
He's like, ah, shit, man.
He's like...
He says, my bad to the guy.
I got it all over my leg.
He doesn't fucking say anything to me.
He doesn't say, y'all, I'm sorry, man.
Excuse me.
Nothing like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So as I'm walking out, I'm like, I'm like...
As I'm walking out loudly, I'm like, this fucking pussy.
And didn't...
He didn't follow me out or anything.
Regular.
Yeah, that was real pussy.
I was ready to go.
I would have clunked your fucking head to get it.
What are you talking about?
I don't think so, man.
No.
These kids out in Queens, they're fucking soft.
They're all skinny and soft.
You don't realize how...
You don't realize how aggressive we are as full-grown males.
You don't know what vibe you're giving off.
Sure.
I don't view myself...
I mean, it's a common trope.
Well, not you.
I mean, normal guy.
I mean, not huge pussies, Kevin.
Yeah, I don't view myself as an adult.
I have to do that sometimes.
I'd be like, oh, like, I am a man.
I'm a man.
Yes.
Getting married when I see my wife.
And now I'm like, that's fucking...
That's weird.
Strange, right?
And I, like, wrestle with it on stage.
I was like, oh, my wife.
And I'm like...
And then I'm having this, like, breakdown on stage in my head.
I'm like, my wife.
Yeah, exactly.
My wife.
I did that once, too, where I just...
I was a whole group of teenagers.
And I just...
They were...
I was walking.
They were in my...
They were, like, going the wrong...
They were on the wrong side.
And I just...
I just barreled through them.
Yeah.
And they were screaming.
But in your head, they're on the wrong side.
So you're going, I got to make this right a little bit.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're on the wrong side.
Yeah.
They ain't going to do shit.
No, no.
Kids can freak that.
Did you ever see, like, a dad go after a kid?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's fucking frightening.
No matter how big the kid is, the kid's always fucking taking off guard because it's fucking
some 45-year-old psycho.
So my dad go after a couple of kids.
A couple of teenagers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was a lunatic?
Yeah, he was a lunatic.
I mean, he was a fucking full-blown, crazy person.
I remember he goes, you want to be a fucking...
One of my neighbor.
Like, beat up my brother.
So he was, like, five years older than him or something.
Maybe my brother was, like, 12 or something.
This kid was, like, 16 or 17.
And he beat up your brother?
And he, like, hurt.
Like, yeah, he, like...
What?
Yeah, he did something to my brother.
That's not crazy.
He was right.
I know.
But to do it in, like, the middle of the street, like, you want to be fucking tough, I'll beat
up you and you fuck.
Like, screaming.
I had the whole family at home.
And nothing happened around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My dad was, like, they were...
The family was shitting themselves.
Like, dude, he was in there.
He was walking.
And I remember he was like, my mother's going, get inside, Kevin.
Get inside.
I'm like, oh, God.
And it was very...
We are fucking full-blown garbage.
It was very, um...
It was very good fellas.
When he goes, go inside.
Yeah.
And he goes across the street.
Shot in Long Island.
Oh, yeah.
Long Island.
So my mom's like, Kevin, go inside.
And my dad's just walking through the front yard.
And I'm like, well, that ain't good.
I know what he's doing.
I'm old enough to know he's going to fuck somebody up.
So the thing is, my dad was a really funny, friendly guy.
But he was super intimidating.
He almost got...
I've seen pictures.
Yeah.
He's like a more intimidating you.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
And he used to get into...
I used to watch him get into fights, but it would never really...
Never get into an actual fight.
Oh, but like, yeah.
But he would...
But like, all right, one time he would go to OTB.
Trash.
Trash.
All right.
All right.
Another layer of the onion.
The Donnelly onion.
I got 20 bucks on me, not being garbage.
What are you doing to me?
OTB.
The OTB.
I hope that's some dermatologist center or something like that.
Yeah.
Someplace nice where you guys got that.
It's Oysters.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's off track betting.
But anyway, I always try to qualify.
He wouldn't spend like our mortgage.
He would spend like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever it was.
But anyway, it was right next to like where the mafia spot was, like the soccer club.
Strategically placed.
It was right next door to the soccer club that was like all these like, either one of
you mafia guys, you're like...
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Or like actually connected guys.
So one day he's at the OTB.
I went to go pick him up because I had his car and I was using it.
What did he drive?
A 91 Buick Le Sabre.
Wow.
Yeah.
And then I inherited it.
I had it after he was done with it.
And it was, it was a fantastic car.
You touch the wheel and you make a right turn.
Whippin' work.
Sean Donnelly.
High school story.
Just doing donuts in the parking lot.
It was a fucking boat.
It was insane.
I nice those cars.
They're fantastic.
They're big engines.
And I had a Kia Rio after it.
And I felt like one of my balls was gone.
I'm not like a meathead when it comes to cars.
But I was like, you're used to the big, the big boat.
The Kia Rio, if you could, if you had...
Was that the SUV?
If you had the, if you had the AC on and the radio, it would go slow.
The car would go slow.
What'd you say?
That's like the little one?
The little one.
Yeah.
It's such a piece of shit car.
Anyway, so he's at OTB.
My dad goes to make a bet.
I walk in while he's walking back to his spot.
And some like, mafia dude, like, whatever, one of the mafia guys took his spot.
And he goes, you're in my spot.
He goes, you're in my chair, my spot.
And he goes, 12th, fuck you.
And he goes, what are you kidding me?
Are you serious?
And then he kind of got it.
Like my dad kind of got into it with him.
And then the guy's buddy was standing next to him.
He goes, kick his ass, Sonny.
And he goes, your name's Sonny?
What are you going to do, Sonny?
Everybody said he goes, what are you going to do, Sonny?
Sonny?
And they go, come on.
It's not worth it.
It dissolved it.
And then he went to go see a movie once.
And then he, some guy behind us was talking to his girl, the girl he was with for like,
and the guy was probably in his like 40s.
And my dad was probably like 50 something.
And the guy was talking throughout.
Movies are a big deal for me because of how me and my dad treated it.
Like you can't, don't talk at the movies or you're a fucking asshole.
And so all through the previews the guy was talking and then all through the credits.
And I could see my dad just boiling, like just waiting for this guy to be talking during
the actual movie.
Yeah.
Just waiting for the first dialogue.
Yeah.
And then he goes, just from his seat, he looks back, he goes, hey, can you, can you shut,
can you shut up, please?
Shut the fuck up.
And then he goes, you, and then the guy goes, you shut the fuck up.
And he goes, hey, if I knew you were going to stand over here, if you were going to talk,
I would move my seat.
And the guy was like, fucking fuck you, whatever it was.
And the guy, my dad stands up.
He's not even that big of a guy.
He's like five, nine.
Yeah.
He stands up.
He's like six, nine.
He's like photographs.
Yeah.
No, he looks big, right?
Yeah.
He stands up over the guy and goes, no, fuck you.
And the guy grabs the girl and slinks away.
Yeah.
It was weird because if you met him, you'd be like, he's a nice, funny guy.
Of course.
I mean, you've got a cherry Coke in your hand and some milk.
Yeah.
What were you seeing, do you remember?
I think this is Doubtfire or something.
Something real innocent.
I don't think it was Godfrey.
It was probably some kind of like, but we used to go to like Lethal Weapon 2.
I saw Patsy Kenseth's boobs when I was like 12 years old.
Nice.
It was exciting.
He hated crowds.
Well, this is like kind of a trashy thing.
So one time.
My dad, too.
My dad hates it.
He couldn't say damn it.
And I was like 10 years old and I wanted to get Chuck Taylor Converse.
Uh-huh.
So he took me to Roosevelt Field Mall.
He walked in.
It must have been like a holiday.
Sea of people.
Just a sea of heads.
He looks at the thing.
He turns right around.
He goes, he takes 20 bucks.
He throws that at me.
I'll meet you in the car.
I'll meet you in the car.
I was 10 years old and I was like terrified.
I'm like, I don't know how to do this.
I don't know what to do.
Yeah.
I knew where I'm going.
And I did it.
But I was like.
Well, that's what I was just thinking.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid every.
That's social anxiety.
Yeah.
You know that, right?
Yeah.
He just didn't have it.
My dad said he just doesn't have to deal with it.
Yes.
Or doesn't know what to call it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I think I'm afraid of like, I'm afraid every social.
In my head every, every outcome of a situation could end in a fight.
Oh, you really think that.
Yeah.
Because the guy, I just watched my dad be like, well, this is what we're, I'm going
to fight you now.
And I'm like.
That was the result.
Oh, well, I think every guy is him.
Like that's the normal guy.
Me too.
So I'm like.
I'm expecting violence.
If I say somebody cuts in front of me in line, if I say something, I'm like, oh, I have
to be able to fight.
I have to fight.
I have to be able to fight.
Because that's the insanity that I was fucking brought up in.
How many times is there to be in a fight?
I mean, not anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
In college.
I think the only fights I ever got in were like, I don't even think I saw my dad in
a fight.
I remember saw him in a fight.
Yeah.
That's a traumatizing thing.
To see him in a fight.
Yeah.
Dude, I see those videos sometimes of like football fans getting in fights at the stands.
Oh my God.
Like some dad.
Some dad getting kicked out of him.
Pulled him in front of his kid.
In front of his kid.
Dude, the kids is like.
Yeah.
That's brutal.
Scarred for life.
Because that shouldn't have been a pussy.
What do you want?
That should have fucking worked the bag a little bit.
You know what I mean?
They get a couple of training days in there.
My only fights I get into.
We're drunk.
Drunk fights.
So I don't get into fights anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Off the sauce.
Off the sauce.
Are you?
Well, kind of.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
That's a no.
No.
That's an Irish.
Yeah.
Like I'm still drinking.
Yeah.
I'm still drinking here and there, but I haven't had beer in forever.
I don't drink beer anymore.
What do you have when you have a cocktail?
I'll have like.
It's such a weird thing.
I'll have a seltzer and a shot of whiskey.
Wow.
Separate.
That's a guy trying to drown some demons.
I'm trying to write a novel.
Fucking Cutty Sartre.
Cutty Sartre with a soda bath.
Yes.
Three Cutties in a Tall Boyz.
This guy's having a good time.
I figured I'm not drinking beer.
I might as well get to the point.
Holy shit.
What's the point of bullshit?
I've never ever visited.
Man.
Did you ever see.
We talk about the order in.
Fuck.
What's the movie with Casey Affleck?
Gone Baby Gone.
You just did it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When the dad.
You know.
Did you ever see Gone Baby Gone?
I never saw it.
Oh my God.
It's super depressing, right?
It's like insanely.
Guy who was an alcoholic for a long time was off the sauce.
And then something happens in the movie where it's like,
all right, this is like fucking time.
He makes an order.
He orders at the bar.
He goes three Cutties in a Tall Boyz.
And like you just feel like, oh, that's a great order.
He's been ordering that in his dreams for the past 20 years.
And he look.
He doesn't even look at the bar there.
He just puts up his hand.
Three Cutties in a Tall Boyz.
And you feel the fucking alcohol.
Like shiver in your bones.
Yeah.
Love it.
That's fantastic.
All right.
Let's get into the game here, gang.
Let's hop.
A little bit of that.
Are you garbage?
Yeah.
All right.
Sean, we're going to ask you a series of questions.
OK.
This is.
I'm excited.
Whether or not you are trash.
Now, as I said, I think you're not.
Oh, just up to the top.
Just a little.
Sure.
A little free buffer here.
Some things I bet he doesn't do.
You don't eat in the subway.
No.
No.
That's a fucking no.
You don't buy food in the subway.
Well, what do you mean?
You get a chorizo every once in a while.
No.
No.
I think I went to a Burger King that was in a subway.
Oh, like in the, in the, in the.
It's actually near here.
It's on 34th.
Yeah.
34th.
Yeah.
Hell square.
And that's technically in the subway.
Sure.
Yeah.
It's downstairs.
It's kind of nice.
It's not bad.
Little aces.
I think it's speak easy for fat people.
You got to say a secret code at the door.
Is that a bit?
No.
I shouldn't say that.
What's the password?
Triglyceride.
Come on in.
Yeah.
What's the password?
No more arteries.
No, that's fucking.
That is a good piece of business.
Is Lipitor here?
I'm a friend of Crest Stories.
Come on in.
Oh, that's good.
But so no, but I will not buy food in the subway.
No.
And I imagine your, uh, your, your mom ran a tight household.
I imagine being tight when you were a kid.
My, my mom was a secret hoarder.
I was like, Jesus Christ.
No, no, no, I would never say that.
I'm Irish Catholic.
I know.
Yeah.
You should have said that.
No, no.
Three cuddies in a tall boy.
Yeah.
So we had, she, we, the main part of the house was spick and span.
Right.
But I don't know if I can even say spick and span anymore.
Right.
Is that, that's a thing.
Oh, that's not bad.
Is that, is that a racist thing?
I don't think I don't know.
Whatever.
I don't know why I stopped.
I'm not sure.
But I would say that our attic and our basement was, was filled with stuff.
It's so funny, man.
I know so many relatives that, as they got older, became hoarders on the low.
But like, not like, not like fucking, you know, 50 dead cats and shit like that.
No, no.
But just like holding on to things that they don't need to.
Yes.
I think it's an emotional thing.
Yes.
My dad died a long time ago.
So I think it's part.
It's part of it.
Yeah.
Because it wasn't as bad when I was younger.
That makes sense.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Never had a liquid soap growing up.
I imagine you were an Irish springer.
We were, we were, we were dial.
We were dial.
Dude, that stuff, I used it like two weeks ago when I was at my parents' house.
The hand soap or bar soap.
The yellow bar.
The yellow bar.
Dude, it is.
It smells great.
Dude.
But it is bad for your skin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
We were the white one.
Juergen?
No.
What was, there was a white.
Juergen.
There was a fancy face soap.
It wasn't Dove.
It wasn't Dove.
It was fucking tough.
It was probably.
It ended up, dude, after it looked like a cinder block after it got wet a couple of times.
The cracks and shit in the bars.
Oh.
I was like brutal.
I forget what it was, but it was not fucking.
We were like dial through.
I think, I think the whole time I was growing up with dial.
I don't think there was one washcloth or just hand washcloth.
Wow.
No, no, no, no.
One washcloth for the family.
Everybody had their own.
Oh, no.
I hate it.
No.
To be honest, I think it was like washcloth when I was younger, but then like it became
hand when I got older.
When I got to my teenage.
My formidable years.
I know you mean it.
What about now?
You're Lufa, right?
The little.
Yeah.
Man, where would those things?
I still do bar.
So straight to flesh.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not sharing it with anybody.
Got a chain on in the shower.
You're Lyoto when they find out.
Yeah.
Jimmy.
The Lufthansa heist.
AM radio playing.
You got one of those AM radios in the shower.
Hang in there.
You had one of those.
Those things were great.
The yellow ones.
Oh man.
A radio in the shower.
Talk about getting the day started.
We have one of those.
We definitely have one of those.
Yeah.
Fucking high class over there.
What was the name of your?
What was the name?
What supermarket did you guys go to?
King Colin.
That sounds trashy.
But that's big up here, right?
We didn't have them.
Not anymore.
King Colin.
King Colin.
There's probably.
Sounds like the big drug dealer in the neighborhood.
Going to King Colin's place.
Get a job.
Whenever the neighborhood needed money.
Sounds like a Jewish superhero.
No.
I think there might have been a few of them.
But it was.
I've heard the name before.
King Colin.
I think it was left over from like the 50s.
Gotcha.
That kind of thing.
Yeah.
So I think it's still.
Is it not King Colin anymore?
It might be a different name.
But it's still.
The place is still there.
So those companies always.
Those people do good.
That family in your town that had the grocery store.
The grocery store.
Grocery store families do well for themselves.
Yeah.
And then all of a sudden fucking 20 years they got 12 stores.
They still have to shop right for fucking .6 mil.
You could have fucking banged her in high school but you didn't.
Because she had a big nose and now she's fucking locked up with some ice on her hand.
I feel like that's.
That's pretty.
That's pretty detailed.
Yeah.
Shout to Stephanie.
That happened.
Stephanie Lazada.
I still love you.
Lazada.
That's a good.
That's a good.
There she was.
Stephanie Lazada.
Just as I would remember her.
All right.
Go.
I got one.
Here we go.
Are you garbage?
Sean Donnelly our guest.
Thank you.
That was a great talking up front.
That was awesome.
By the way.
Oh cool.
It was fun times.
But question for you.
Have you or any member of your family ever been a member of a studio audience?
I got it.
I got a very similar one of that too.
Absolutely.
Where?
I just want to shut down the.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hello garbage.
Yeah.
Sean's here.
You want to talk to him?
Yeah.
It's garbage.
Yeah.
Hello garbage.
I was a member of the Ricky Lake studio.
I need mustard for this sandwich.
They give you.
Don't they give you a sandwich and like a half a snickers and a warm coat.
It's not jail.
Your dad was there.
Eat your fruit cup.
It was like me and to be honest with me.
We kind of went as half a goof but we still are man.
Yeah.
Your family.
No.
No.
It was me and my friends.
Oh okay.
But no.
But you said me or a member of my family.
I said me or a member of your family.
That's not what they did in Hershey.
No.
No.
The rest of my family.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe my sisters were in the.
Yeah.
My sister's probably on some show but I don't know what it was.
I got a piggyback on that one.
Anyone in your family ever interviewed on the local news.
You see those rose buds.
We saw him coming out of the house.
I knew he was no good.
He ran right behind at King Collins.
King Cullen or King Cullen.
There was a robbery but here's the thing.
No.
But I tell you something else.
When I was younger my dad's.
My dad's Buick was stolen, right.
It was stolen in the old TV parking lot.
That's giving me an idea.
But then out of nowhere.
The beats fucking trash by the way.
Yeah, right.
My dad's Buick was stolen at the old TV parking lot.
Buddy, if that's not the trashiest sentence I ever heard.
I don't know what the fuck.
That's not getting you in the Harvard.
I'll tell you that right now.
That comes up at the Senate confirmation hearing.
So two weeks later a cop shows up at our house.
And he goes, oh, your car.
My mom.
No, no, no.
He goes, your car was your Caprice classic station wagon.
The other car that we had was stolen and used in a robbery.
What?
And they go, and my mom goes, no, it's the Buick.
And they go, no.
And my mom looks outside.
The Caprice is gone.
Caprice is gone.
Holy shit.
And it was used to rob.
King Colin.
Oh, baby.
What the fuck?
We got a hot one here.
Shit.
Can you believe it?
Dude, that's fucking nuts.
Shut the crown of garbage right there.
Do you believe in miracles?
I asked his mind.
I had a cousin when the Eagles were in the Super Bowl.
Right.
He went down to, I guess the game was in Miami or something.
He was in Florida.
So he went down to Florida like party.
You know, it was probably in his early twenties or whatever.
And I like the sauce.
It was a big boozer.
Yeah.
So the next morning, we're all like watching the TV coverage leading up or whatever.
You know, and they cut to him.
They cut to my cousin on like the local news.
He's got a big black eye and like his fucking nose is all fucked up.
And he's like, go birds.
And they're like, Sarah, what happened to your face?
He's like, you should see her.
He's like, Jesus Christ.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
He's off the sauce now doing good.
But yeah, everybody was just like, what the fuck?
That is rough.
Yeah.
So no dancing.
I'm like, dude, you're making a domestic violence joke on the local news with a black
eye.
This guy knows no boundaries.
They just arrest him and he's on the news again.
He's on the news again.
I was a joke.
I swear.
I know.
So none of us were ever interviewed on the local news.
Yeah.
Have you or any member of your family ever gone to Jamaica and come back with cornrows?
You know, I'm talking about spring break situation with a couple of beads hanging.
Yeah.
No.
Nobody.
In my family, you mean, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you ever owned a slip and slide?
Yes.
We own one and that's a poor man's water park right there.
We never got one.
We never got one.
We weren't allowed to get one.
When we were in East Meadow, we had one.
And I'm pretty sure we had one that led to a lawn mower.
You know what I'm saying?
You used to hit a lawn mower.
Yeah.
You'd hit something.
Yeah.
There's rocks under it and shit.
There's something jagged going on at the end of the slip and slide.
We used to do it.
We had a slip and slide, but no hill.
So you would just stop midway through.
That's how we did it.
We didn't do a hill.
We just did it on the flat.
Yeah.
And you would stop halfway through.
Yeah.
Just so anticlimactic.
Also to the sprinkler.
We played in the sprinkler.
Yeah.
No way.
That's trash.
Just tie it to the hose and just jump through it and then jump back through it.
That's what we would do.
Yeah.
It was a slow one, right?
That would turn and go like the big hand and then would stop and come back.
Yes.
That's that fucking white trash fucking holiday.
I don't know what it is.
You would jump through the sprinkler.
I don't think I was happier.
No.
Not a care in the world.
Not a care in the world.
You just wanted the time so you could get it on the way back.
Oh, buddy.
It's like you're going through dimensions.
I know.
I was good.
That was a good time.
But that's pretty trash.
That's like drinking from the hose.
You were drinking from the hose.
Oh, yeah.
Spicket.
Right out of the spicket.
Fantastic.
Oh, look.
All right.
Go, Fatso.
What do I got here?
I got a couple of questions.
Sean, let me ask you something.
When is the three liter of soda appropriate?
I would say that's an easy one.
At a family party.
Anytime you have a company.
At a communion.
At a first holiday communion party.
Yeah.
Or just a big pizza party or something.
Yeah.
Big pizza party.
They had the big mouse on them.
You know, the big, the bigger mouse.
Who are you talking to?
He's got one on him.
A three liter to me?
There's a bigger gauge soda.
A bigger gauge.
Performance gauge.
15 gauge.
Can we also say this?
The appropriate, whatever, Doritos were present?
Oh, buddy.
Doritos and cream and cold Coke.
But none of the good brands ever did three liters though.
Yeah, they did.
Pepsi and Coke did a four liter.
Yeah, they both of them did it back in the day.
Every time we had them.
Congress got on them.
It was RC Cola and stuff.
Or just Cola.
Just Cola.
It was like the generic brands had the magnums as we call them.
Yes.
You knew it was generic when they had 99 cents on the bottom.
Oh, yeah.
That price was built in.
They were not dealing with the markets.
No, no.
There was no margins on that one.
It was.
They're not dealing with the market markets.
Oh, that's great.
Have you ever?
Oh, sorry.
No, that's not my answer to that.
Yeah.
Was that the right answer?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's trash.
Well, I mean, unless you say, I don't know, you were fucking, you went to Harvard or something.
There's no way you're bouncing back.
If your answer was, what's a three-liter?
Maybe.
Oh my God.
Kick me out of here.
Have you ever won a no fear t-shirt?
No.
Oh.
Tap out?
What about?
I have tons of fear.
Tap out shirt?
Nope.
You were too old for tap out at that point.
I was too old for tap out.
No fear was big in the 90s.
Yeah, but I never wore it.
Okay.
I had one or two of them.
Trash.
And I took pride in wearing it, baby.
Have you ever been stabbed by a parent or sibling?
With anything?
Pencil, something like that?
No, but my friend has.
My friend, his sister tried to stand with a fork and I think she did it.
Jesus.
But no, I've never, never got stabbed by anything.
No.
That's pretty good.
I didn't have, I had two sisters, so it's harder.
Yeah, it's a little.
For that to happen.
I've had a brother, probably something would have happened.
You didn't have a brother?
No.
Oh, you and your brother would have been fucking duking it out.
Yeah.
That's all me and my brother did was fight.
Yeah.
All growing up.
We'd be destroying each other.
I mean, he basically just never fought.
They would just like psychologically fuck me up.
Classic girl.
You got to pee.
They make like ocean sounds like that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Do you have a Zippo lighter in your family though?
That would be considered a family heirloom.
Would it be in the will anywhere?
Because we'd be bequeathed upon somebody.
We got my dad Zippo from NOM.
Oh man.
Yeah, it says as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil.
He was a Coolio fan?
No way.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, it says that.
And it says United States Navy.
Shout out the dangerous minds.
Your dad loved Michelle Pfeiffer.
He's like, she's an underrated actor.
It's a good looking bro.
That Coolio ain't too bad either.
He's like, have you seen Grease 2?
No, so I, no, not a lighter, but a wallet, dog tags, and my dad's, my dad's a shield
from being a correctionist.
Yeah.
That's fucking hardcore.
That's fucking.
Those are like, they're like more like family stuff.
Have you ever celebrated a birthday at an Applebee's?
No, no, no, but no.
Okay.
That was the go-to for us.
No, but we weren't, I don't think I went to Applebee's as a kid.
There was an Applebee's by us, but I think I came later when I was a teenager.
Yeah, we didn't, Apple, that was shit.
We would go.
Dude, we went for birthdays.
We went to a place called the Car Stop.
We used to go, this might be worse.
Yeah.
Back in the day, we'd go to McDonald's.
My sister had a birthday party at McDonald's.
Oh yeah, fuck yeah.
Yeah.
We had a cake with the sugar figures on top of it.
Yes, come on.
Dude, a birthday at McDonald's is fucking trash.
Come on.
Dude, come on.
But they used to do, and also.
No, that is fucking garbage.
Parents smoking right there with the little tinfoil ashtrays.
In between my dad being a competent correction officer, he had to do odd jobs.
He was a bouncer at a McDonald's on.
Holy shit.
Ladies and gentlemen.
What the fuck kind of McDonald's as a bouncer?
Ladies and gentlemen, do not attempt to adjust your influence.
We have an exclusive here on our new garbage.
And if you are an inner family member, ever been a bouncer at McDonald's.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a first in podcasting.
Holy shit.
I guess it was a security guard, but he wasn't a.
I've never been to a McDonald's.
He was a security guard that didn't wear.
He didn't wear a security outfit.
He plays by his own set of rules.
Queens.
Over, you can see it.
It's not there anymore.
Locks the play place.
Now use Cambly.
It's not like fresh meadows.
Right before.
Wait, did you know when he would work?
And would you be expecting McDonald's when he came home?
I think it was too young.
It was when I was younger.
So I think I was too little for that.
Oh God.
But he would bring hunts.
He would work overnight.
You would have been hounding him.
Oh my God.
Definitely bothered.
But he didn't really bug him when he came.
He worked.
Well, he would work that in the afternoons, I think.
When we, we would bother him coming home from overnight because he would be like cranky.
That's why.
Stay away.
Stay away for a couple hours.
Let him sleep.
Yeah.
That's funny.
But isn't that insane?
Yeah.
He was like a security guard.
He didn't have a fucking, he didn't have the little star thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was just in his regular clothes at the McDonald's.
Undercover.
I think they just hired him separately.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was just a McDonald's guy.
The guy who owned McDonald's.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The one in the franchise was like, I need somebody just to be posted up in here in case
something happens.
It was like, did he have a piece on him?
Springfield Boulevard.
What?
Would he have a piece on him?
He might have.
That might have been part of it.
Or do you think he's walking in there with his fucking dick in his hand?
Fucking piece on him.
He's jammed up.
I want to be able to, I want to be able to make some action.
You know what I mean?
I got a couple of quick ones and then I got one long one, Kippy.
Let me hit him with these real quick.
Sure.
Three questions, Sean.
Have you ever been to a Sandals?
No.
Have you or any member of your family ever gone hunting with a metal detector?
Have you ever used a metal detector, Sean Connelly?
Is there a metal detector in your mother's garage right now?
No, there's not.
I own one.
I, I, I think my buddy of mine had one.
Like a big loser.
Kippy the one bald man.
I think I'm, I think I had, I went with my friend at the beach once in Long Island
and used his, but it wasn't mine.
So I was,
My mother would never go for it.
That might be worse.
I got one at Radio Shack.
I got 29 bucks.
That's all I ever wanted.
Yeah.
Oh, I never found shit.
I definitely wanted one.
I never found shit.
No, you're not going to find anything.
Because I don't think it's strong enough to find it.
No, dude.
No, no, no, not at all.
I remember I would like test it.
I'd like put it next to like a piece of like the car or whatever.
Kippy.
And I wouldn't register.
Kippy wants to be a goonie.
Oh, dude.
Of course.
Up there.
Up there's their time.
Down here.
Down here's Kippenstein.
You didn't want to be a fuck.
I was sloth.
Oh, I wanted to be a goonie.
Still do.
You look like junk.
Junk did where it is going.
Oh, I love junk.
That pizza slice that he got looking a nice piece of junk.
That and a strawberry milkshake.
That's what he had when he saw the Fratellis.
He was buying a really fast RV.
The Fratellis.
The Fratellis are great.
You know that guy's an entertainment lawyer now.
Yeah.
The name's Jeff Cohen.
He's like everybody's entertainment lawyer.
All the comics.
Yes, yes, yes.
And he's super skinny.
That's awesome.
Do you currently own any fireworks?
No, I don't.
Sure?
Yeah.
There's not a set of M80s laying at your mom's house or anything?
No, but I was talking about my friends the other day how my one friend would just have
fireworks one time.
That friend was trash.
Yeah.
He would have elephant sticks.
It was like half a stick of dynamite or something.
Yeah.
And he would make time bombs out of them by putting a cigarette next to it and lighting
the cigarette.
And then walking away.
What the fuck?
Jesus Christ.
It was fucking crazy.
You can call the ATF.
This guy's fucking.
Yeah.
Honestly now.
It wasn't hooked up to a fog or anything.
It was now.
He would be arrested.
If it was now.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Domestic terrorism.
Absolutely.
Good.
You would mention your family's cars had they ever had bumper stickers on them?
Yes, definitely.
Well, were they?
I don't remember.
That's the only thing.
That's not a good sign, though.
No.
Any bumper sticker is never good.
No, no.
I think it was like, to be honest, it might have been a used car that we bought that came
with a bumper.
And you didn't take it off.
That's fucking tragic.
So it might have been like, you know, Nixon 70.
I don't know.
Whatever it is.
I can't remember what it was, but you had them.
We definitely had a car.
My pop's got a couple of t-shirts that say, if you can read this, thank a teacher.
If you can read this in English, thank a veteran.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's fucking awesome.
If you own this, you're garbage.
Yikes.
Have you or any member of your family ever gone to like a state fair or a fair or something
like that and purchased anything that was being demonstrated at the fair?
Oh.
Like a live demonstration.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
Well, yes.
We used to go to Jersey Shore.
Curly cutter or something like that.
No.
It was like, oh, no.
You mean like a product?
Oh, a product?
No.
But we would get like, they would have like the swirly art.
And we would get that.
Oh, yeah.
Sand art or like it would be like a piece of paper with like the spray, the wheel art
or something.
It was garbage.
Fucking trash is what it was called.
Yeah.
Give me 15 bucks and go throw this out in six months.
When I was real little, for some reason, we went to this like state fair and like we're
expecting like, you know, a state fair fucking fucking out.
Dude, the Pennsylvania State Fair at the racetrack in Ben Salem.
Maybe that's where it was.
Fucking second to nine.
I got a corn dog girl there.
I'm telling you.
Dude, funnel cake and I would win knives.
I would just go, I love knives.
I love knives.
Oh, man.
I also did this.
We would have fairs by us, but it was all Italian stuff.
Yeah.
It was all through the church.
We wouldn't have state fairs.
That's good stuff.
We would have, yeah, we would have like, they'd have rides and stuff.
And then I'd go to Jersey Shore and they had the Kingsburg Boardwalk in Jersey Shore,
which is like, not great.
But we would go and they had the giant slide, that giant yellow slide or whatever it was.
But you win.
With the burlap carpet underneath there.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, that thing was good.
Dude, the potato sacks.
Potato sacks.
Oh, man, that thing.
The fat kid crying fucking can't go down.
That was me.
Yeah.
And then we win tickets.
And with my tickets one time, I got fartspray at...
And it was one of the best days of my life.
It was May 25th.
You know what it was?
It was, I got fartspray and snaps.
Snaps.
Oh, snaps, man.
Snaps.
And snakes, remember snakes?
You liked the snakes when they'd grow?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Snakes were big too.
Snaps, I loved.
Snaps.
I mean, you always had a friend that would just take the snap and do it with his finger.
And you're like, that kid's invincible.
Yeah, he's a man.
He's a man.
My dad, one time, we went to like some kind of state fair and it was all demonstrations.
We got like a potato thing that like swirled around, but it's classic.
My dad, we go to this one thing and this guy's selling like some kind of product for, for
the car, like to clean the car.
Yeah.
And he's, it's like the Shamwell guys.
Like the headset on just like a real piece of shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Some dirt bag.
He's got a crowd of fucking young families in the early 80s crowded around like, like he's
a fucking miracle worker.
Oh my God.
I remember standing next to my dad and my dad leaves over and my mom goes, that's fucking
bullshit.
The guy hears them all of a sudden out of nowhere through this fucking shitty megaphone.
You hear, what's that sir?
You say it's bullshit.
Not today, pal.
We did a buying like two cases of the shit fucking sat in our garage for fucking 25 years.
That's not good of a guy.
My dad was hilarious.
Yeah.
My dad went through a phase where he was ordering items off the TV.
Well, no, from the Lillian Vernon catalog.
Who the fuck is that?
Some girl, some lady in your neighborhood.
Yeah.
Just a lady down the block.
No.
And he would get like little stuff like the pillow that had a spot for the remote, like
that kind of thing.
Acting.
I loved it for like a year.
He's buying bullshit from this website.
Do you ever own a football phone?
It was a catalog.
What?
Do you ever own a football phone?
No.
Cheeseburger phone?
No, we had a Garfield phone.
Garfield phone was big.
It was huge.
I might have had a Snoopy phone, I think.
I think it was Snoopy.
We had a Garfield.
My sister had a Garfield phone.
She loved it.
I got one.
One more and then we got to wrap it up.
Has anyone in your family ever taken a couch or any other piece of furniture out of the
trash and taken it home?
Now, what's the trash?
If you're driving, see, in neighborhoods they have please take.
You can take it.
That's trash.
That's if it's on the garbage trash.
This is literally a garbage question to finish.
Exactly.
Like a patio furniture, a couch for the garage was always big in my neighborhood.
You're not talking about a yard sale.
I mean, yard sales are fucking trash.
What?
If you're selling your shit to a bunch of other losers who can't afford to buy new shit,
you're trash.
I like a nice yard sale on a Saturday morning.
I agree, but it's trash.
Find some old books.
I'll say this.
You're looking for cash.
Not to my knowledge.
No, okay.
But we would go to garage sales and yard sales all the time and get stuff from there.
So my dad might have grabbed something from somewhere.
You're like driving.
Do you see something throw it in park real quick?
Yeah.
Call up your uncle with a pickup.
So you get it quick.
I'm on 3rd Street.
Maybe you didn't pull the trigger, but I was definitely in the car with him where he backed up to take a look.
I love it.
It's pretty trashy when you have things in your front lawn that say like, you know, you can have this for $200 or best offer.
OBO.
OBO is fucking garbage.
Another driving thing real quick.
It's not related, but it's pretty funny.
I was driving in the car in the buick with my dad once.
We're in Garden City, which is like the rich town.
Well, I went to school there, but I grew up in the town next door.
And they had a gazebo where people are taking wedding photos.
And so we drive by.
You're gonna put the fart spray?
No.
You smelt it.
You dealt it.
Drive by my dad.
You like to fade out on that one?
My dad slows down.
I think he's gonna be like, congratulations, whatever.
He slows down, rolls on the window with me in the car and goes, sucka.
And then just keeps driving.
And you would have thought.
He was feeling great that day.
He fucking lost his shit.
It was the best day of his life.
Oh my God.
He freaked out.
That's fucking awesome.
That's great.
That's a beautiful one.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Because you could tell he was feeling great that day.
Oh my God.
He felt fantastic.
He thought it was the funniest thing ever.
I'm like, you know I'm not 40, right?
You know I don't know.
I don't get marriage jokes.
I don't get long term relationship commitment jokes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't have a girlfriend yet.
Holy shit gang.
