Respect to Theo for bringing real people on to give some visibility.
reminds me of Ari Shaffer's skeptic tank. He tried to have a theme for each episode .
People is what make makes a country great.
And they're genuinely interesting to hear speak!
We are the blood, sweat and tears to this system and we are more powerful than we have ever been led to believe💓
By real people you mean Communists who work for Communist Unions employed by the Socialist State? I PAY YOUR SALARY!
I've been wanting someone to do this for YEARS. Actually interview real people, that's where the real stories are. Without them, there would be zero opportunity for other people to follow their passions because we'd have to pick up the slack. Good job!
Theos BEEN doing this for years 😅
Soft White Underbelly has been around for a while now
Didn't Theo have Mike on? Think he did...
I think LAHWF's had his "Chatting With" series going on for a long long time. Worth checking out
But if you want to know something about a garbage man you can just ask them yourself. Why would you wait for years?
I’d rather see the everyday man or woman and hear their stories a million times over … rather than the same ol “comedians”/podcasters just making their rounds on each other’s podcasts over and over (🐻). Thank you, Theo!
Depends, the “normal people” Theo finds are exceptionally good speakers and storytellers that are fun to listen to. But a lot of “everyday folks” are boring to listen to tbh.
@@jimmybuckets5863 I'm sure theo has a budget big enough to go out and talk to people and have great conversations
"comedians"
,🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s a brilliant idea
Not necessary the “everyday man”, but varied walked of life were not familiar with
“It’s garbage. What are we fighting over garbage for?”
~ A man who did the work NONE of us want to do.
This is way more interesting that hearing tom segura talk about his flight problems and his differant methods of approaching mediocre standup comedy.
who even listens to that dull dweeb
Yeah podcasts morph into a group of friends huffing their own farts sometimes but Theo keeps it fresh and real with all perspectives.
@@dave93xthat’s why he gets the best guests, Theo is one of the few real people in podcasting
I’d rather listen to real people leading real lives than listen to celebrities complain about their first world problems. It’s hard to relate to someone that blows money on a piece of jewelry that costs as much as my house.
Spoken like a true poor person 🤣🤣🤣
A message to all the trashmen. When i was a little kid we lived in townhouses where we all shared one big dumpster. Trash day was the coolest thing ever for me. As soon as i heard the trash truck I'd run outside and just watch as the big truck lifts this massive dumpsters and dumps out the trash like a total badass. And the guys getting out grabbing all the extra bags flinging em into the back of the truck like the bags are just light as a feather. There was something so mesmerizing about watching how coordinated they all were. It was like as fast as they hop off the truck and lift the dumpster, they were gone. I know i never said it to you guys, but i thought you guys were total badasses. You made my day whenever you would notice me and wave back.
The entire internet could really use his "why're we fighting over garbage for?" mentality
When I bought my new house I went out and bought two brand new trash cans 100 bucks a piece with little rolly Wheels. First time the trash man shows up to get my trash at my new house he dumps the trash then picks my cans up over his head and throws them into my yard as far as he can breaking off the little wheels. When I call to complain they basically told me to go f*** off and laugh at me for spending that much money on trash cans. I'm a mechanic by trade so I make sure that all of the cat litter we use to soak up oil and such on the floors goes home with me to go in my trash along with random cinder blocks and heavy s*** from work enjoy picking up all 250 lb of my trash every trash day until I move.
As he told multiple stories of fighting over garbage and kept fighting over garbage and petty things while swearing at people flipping them off and whining about everything…
@@Keyser___Soze that's just the culture of dudes from new york
soundbite right there
In my city it's simple. You throw out a couch or big items you have to buy a tag from the city or it won't get picked up and the police will fine you for leaving it on the curb. It's cheaper to pay for the special ticket for the city garbage man to take it then pay a $200 ticket from the police. It's like $30 bucks to get rid of a coach so people learned real quick it wasn't worth having the cops fine them.
People weren’t fighting over garbage, they were fighting over being told “No”. There’s a percentage of the population that expects to be able to do whatever they want, and they will try to bully/intimidate/fight anyone that tells them “No”.
Just pick the trash up like it’s your job or something. Like their boss literally had them go back and do in their story. He’s a lazy asshole, 5 min shortened for you
I think they were fighting because he was leaving trash in there yard that was clearly sitting next to the trash can for him to pick up. But hes being to lazy to take all the trash.
@@big_rockstar
No, they were trying to throw away building materials. Garbage men pick up household trash, not building materials. The homeowner was abusing city services so they wouldn’t have to take it to the dump themselves and pay the dump fees, or pay someone else to do it.
@@LuckyCharms777dump fees doesnt sound like a rackett at all😂what is waste management a mafia run ohh wait yeaa … when all routes cost money you’ve been conned my man no wonder fly tipping is so common of these materials
@@eternalemperorvalkorion750
Dude, he worked for the city. Most people pay for the city to pick up their household trash. Anything beyond that, like building materials from a home remodel or whatever, has to be taken to the city dump yourself, and you pay an additional fee based on scale weight.
I've always shown my garbage men respect, it's a tough job. When I was remodeling my first house I put a bunch of stuff by the curb that wasn't supposed to be there. I made sure that I was home when the truck came for pick up and I asked if it was ok for him to take the stuff I had put out. He said that he would take it so I helped put the garbage in his truck and thanked him. I asked him what kind of beer he liked and I would buy him a case. He told me that he was sober but liked Mt Dew. The next week I had 2 cases of Dew for him.
I like this story
Thanks for being a decent person.
Your a real one
I show the my tits. It the least I can do.
The one thing beer is probably more healthy than 😂
One day I saw the garage truck roll down my alley doing it’s thing. There was music blasting, a guy hanging off the side joking with the driver. They were both laughing and making jokes, while using a robotic arm to grab the bins. They looked like they were enjoying life! Meanwhile I was miserable at my well paying office job. Seeing that changed my life.
How did that change your life?
It's called 'realization' brother and its a great gift, don't take it for granted. Some have to go through great trials and suffering before they ever have one and some just never have one at all.
@@blurgle9185 sometimes a single event can change you entire outlook.
Near death experiences are one example.
@@scallie6462 yeah but this wasn't a near death experience. It was a common reflection, I was curious how something so inconsequential could change someone's life in any meaningful way. (Changing outlook isn't meaningful as we do that practically everyday by default)
@@blurgle9185plenty of people go through life in a blur not really paying attention to the world around them.
"People wanna fight - it's garbage. What're we fighting over garbage for?" Words to live by. He couldn't have said it better, and this applies to everything in life.
Preach it
Amen. We should only fight the good fights (for freedoms, for family, for actual safety- as opposed to safety from words and hurt feelings and semi-risky viruses).
Agreed. It's not about the garbage. It's about respect.
The Allen Iverson of sanitation workers
Says the guy that refuses to take all the garbage and leaves it sitting on your curb. when it was clearly sitting next to the trash can. Were fighting bcs your being lazy and refuse to take all the garbage.
I was a beer delivery guy for a time. One morning on our first stop after we delivered the beverages (it was a gas station) I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and a drink and took them to the counter. When I went to pay, I kept getting declined. I knew I had money in my account and I was like "dude no, this job is hard I have to have some food." The guy behind me was like "I'll get it." It was early and he was a sanitation dude getting ready for his route for the day. He payed for my quick breakfast without hesitation. I kept wanting to run into him again and return the favor but never got to.
It turns out, someone messed up at the bank and issued everyone new debit cards, which inactivated all our current cards.
I would just advise you to pay it forward to someone else. Hopefully they will do the same, it hits different when you can make someones day by doing that. The gift of giving at these situations is a win-win.
Thank you Theo for interviewing the important and integral people that we should be so grateful for in our society. You are down to Earth and so are these people who keep our country running. Thank you all tremendously 💗
Yup! Eat the Rich! Theo said it himself! We hate the rich! Communism FTW!
None of yall are we do 1200 houses a route and lucky to get 10% of em to throw you a bone during the holidays
This is the MOST NY conversation ever! I know exactly what he has gone through. When I needed to clear out my late father's house I called sanitation to request a pickup as I did not have the money for a dumpster. The normal truck just drove right by but a few days later a truck came and did the pickup. They came at 5am so I missed them but would have thanked them and given a tip. These guys are the best, the city would be a disaster without them!!!
What does fat tom segura think about Theo interviewing the "Poors"? You're a hero Theo a light in the dark. So tired of podcast circle jerk of rich people interviewing rich people. Thank you for shining your light on the people that keep the world moving.
For real Tom fell off
I used to like him, but he's changed for the worse. The worst is him and his wives TH-cam channel.
This garbage man was making bank. Listen to the full interview. 6 figure income garbage man right there.
That jackass has never been funny. I like Rogan's podcast because he's good at interviewing and has some interesting guests, but when it's just him and obnoxious friends like Tom and Ari there's no point in watching it.
The problem with Tom is nothing. It’s his weird ass wife that always bothered me
I love my sanitation workers in my town. After my husband died, I was a bit overwhelmed, garbage was kind of piling up, & one garbage day I didn't get it out on time & they actually walked up to my garage & took all the garbage that was sitting there. Even emptied the can. They don't get enough appreciation!!
The line about the giving them nickel or dime back is hilarious
matches the petty energy too good
The thing is, the garbage man makes more money than school teacher or cop.
The line about having sex with the dogs is so funny
@@badassmother1426 Good. A garbage man is a lot more important than teachers or cops, that's for damn sure...
@@squidvis Agree! Teachers ruining kid's minds + cops ARE GARBAGE! And both are regarded in the media as heroes what a fucking joke!
Truth b told, sanitation workers are one of the unspoken heroes in our society. Respect.
Theo's a legend for having regular hard working people on .
Yea I don't think he qualifies for legend status. I just heard his name for the first time when I watched this video and this will likely be the last time I hear his name because he is annoying.
@@jims.3987 He does some better shit, this garbage man is just a complete douchebag and hes trying t play along.
@@jims.3987 just because your unknown ass hasn’t heard of him doesn’t mean he’s not a legend. Theo Von is a good dude, and always has been whether you think he’s funny or not. And him giving these normal people a chance at the screen is very nice and humble of him. I bet if you were on this podcast they’d call you annoying too, considering how cynical you seem.
@@jims.3987you never hear about annoying people twice?
I had to change a tire in my apartment parking lot a while back. I was struggling with the last bolt bc the knuckle heads at Tire discounters had torque gunned the hell out of it to where it was almost impossible to undo it with a tire iron. The garbage man that gets our apartment dumpsters saw me struggling and parked his truck to come over to help me. I just needed a little more force and we got it. I was so thankful he took time to stop on his route and help me. I still wave to him if I see him but it made me grateful for guys like him just working their normal jobs but still willing to help others out in between.
This is what podcast should be. Not famous people. Not so called expert. The best Episode yet. This was natural and flawless listening
why would I want to listen to people I've lived with and work with my whole life lol
you can literally have a conversation with everyday workers you can’t with celebs and that’s why they are guests on podcasts
It's what podcasts started as. Same as TH-cam. Broadcast yourself.
Experts are the guests we want
Found the perfect man, too, from the perfect place! Impressive and interesting
Much respect to the men that make the country work everyday.
As a former garbage man at waste management theres a huge difference working for a private company than a city.
i work for a little italy village in upstate ny where jon jones was rasied, if its a dog poop bag or not recycling i throw it back in thier yeard im not making the recylcing sorters have to deal with that
People I worked with never were able to retire after twenty years with waste management. Often they would argue when long time employees were injured. Most common being rotator cuff injury. They would fight paying workman's comp and say it was a preexisting condition. Made me question was it worth breaking my body down for a company that only cares about making stockholders happy.
@@_J0N_TAFFER He said during the full interview that recycling is a lie.
@@_J0N_TAFFERyeah isnt there a difference between trash and recycling? Why would there be a poop bag in the recycling bin instead of the trash bin? If you’re just picking up trash, why would it matter if its a poop bag? Thats trash. So do you just specifically pick up recycling? Or are you just talking about people who accidentally or stupidly throw poop bags in the wrong bin?
@@badassmother1426timestamp boss?
Without guys like him our society would come to a screeching halt. Thank you…
It happened before during a sanitation worker strike. Garbage piled up so fast that people couldbt leave their houses
Oh get his balls outta your mouth
"Why are fighting over garbage" just hit me differently. It's just so sincere and to the point. This was a great listen, Theo gotta do more of these "ordinary" people podcasts
Yet, all the stories was him starting fights over garbage.
yep. and refusing to take peoples garbage. When he was paid to pick up the trash.@@potcommitted5355
He sounds like what a hard worker should sound like.
My kids LOVE the trash truck. They get out and wave to the trucks every Sat morning. The guys on the truck always wave at the kids. The kids think it’s the greatest thing on the planet.
Do you live in NYC?
“The people you’re after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash.”
"why are they lighting stuff one fire are they training for battle or something" lol had me dyeing
This is so refreshing to see. Another point of view and a hard worker. Theo is a man of the people!
The garbage man is also the biggest douche ive seen on the show.
isn't it awesome as humans we crave perspectives and stories?! We love to hear stories from a specific perspective or thought. So cool to hear this and thank you Theo for taking on this type of podcast direction and giving these perspectives a place to be heard.
Actually are a multi agent LLM network that trains off human speech. Then we converse to train eachother based off each models life history.
Since you dont get much variance having a soul live all lives at once, you simulate different souls then have them cross train eachother.
We're probably supposed to speedrun breaking speed of light or something.
bro you need to get laid@@Andrew-wu1xd
@@Andrew-wu1xdu gay
When I was manager of a deli, I always took care of our garbage guys. Gave them free drinks or subs in exchange for them to do the occasional extra unscheduled pickup when I knew our dumpsters would get full before trash day. And at Christmas and new years I always gave them gift cards to get a few free meals. It may not mean much to some people, but they were always so appreciative. And trust me in the restaurant business the last person you want to piss off is the guys who pick up your garbage. A lot of restaurants will try and take care of the garbage crew, or at least in my area anyway.
Dang Andrew Schultz fell off
🤣🤣🤣
Nah this guy is actually funny
Omg 😂
Andrew Schulz and Brendan Schaub are the same person.
i fr thought it was schulzy in the thumbnail i was like tf
I always got along great with the Garbage Truck Guys. I took our trash cans up to the main "paved" road near my House. We live on a dead end dirt/gravel road and our house is the only house down that road. We own about 20 acres on both sides of the road that goes back to our House and the rest of the land behind us.
I made a low to the ground trailer that I just kept the trash cans in. I would pull the trailer up to the main road every week and drop the trailer by the side of the paved road. The guys emptied the cans and sat them back in the trailer. My wife would send baked goods or a pie in a Box with me sometimes and I would leave them on top of one of the cans for the Truck Guys.
They would leave a note or if I was up there to get the cans about the time they usually came by, we would talk and they thanked my better half for the treats.
Growing up my parents would give the garbage men who cleared our street Christmas gifts every year. You have to respect the people doing the real dirty jobs no one wants to do.
My dad always gave them drinks in the summer. They'd chit chat for a couple minutes
The benefit? Those guys let my dad throw away whatever the fuck he wanted. Tv, building materials, anything
Give our garbage guys $20 at Christmas. My house is the only one in the neighborhood that has its garbage can lids placed back on the upright cans that have been carried halfway up the driveway. True story.
Same here. My parents will rush over and make sure he gets the card taped to our can. Every Christmas and thanksgiving
Fuck yeah, you were raised right. Pass it on generation to generation because this world is crumbling.
@@botfantasies6229one of the only ways we can really control the downfall is through small reconnections like this. You don't have to be everyone's best friend, you don't have to be overly positive, you just have to be decent and think of others. Strike up a conversation once in a blue moon. That's really all it takes.
I’m from 3 generations of DSNY workers and my husband just retired, 40 years of Brooklyn and manhattan’s garbage man stories and the complaints haven’t changed one bit 😂. The only story missing was the cars that wouldn’t move for alternate side of the street parking, but that’s only if you’ve been a broom operator.
This man is an everyday hero PERIOD
yeah, until he is fucking scratching some car just because the car owner found a legal parking space. Trash.
"So my boss calls me and says I need to go back and I said I dont wanna go back! So anyway, then I went back"😂😂
i've worked sanitation since covid and everything he's saying is true. I used to clean sidewalks on foot and i had people literally throwing trash at me, see me coming and try to use my tools to clean out their car, homeless people run up to my cart and start rummaging, the entitlement because they pay property taxes... I ended up switching over to hotel housekeeping and the people are just as bizarre but at least it's air conditioned.
"You shouldve woke up 10 minutes earlier..."
Truest Ish ever and Im definitely guilty . 😂☠️✌️
Theo probably has one of the most interesting pods at the moment.
the Rogan approach of just interest and then a conversation just works great.
so genuine
I just wish my garbage man would acknowledge my two little kids waving and shouting greetings to him every week on our front porch. I think the guy may be antisocial, but I wish he knew how much he’s appreciated.
This is what makes Theo amazing. Interviewing the NYC garbage man and making it a classic. Not some bullshit influencers press run trying to promote something. Respect to this guy and Theo for having him on!
We definitely need a part 2 with him. This was better than hearing about Jada and tupac for the 13th million times.
Love this. When we were growing up, after spring cleaning my parents would make me and my siblings wait for the garbage man and we would throw all our stuff in, lift any furniture, basically just help the man. It’s called basic respect.
Just getting appreciated for doing a good job and dealing with constant BS is severely underrated at jobs I think.
I live in a suburb. The trash company has spelled out very clearly what they do take, what they don't take, how to properly set things out etc..... I always follow their guidelines. I usually wave and say thank you if I come across a worker. Theo should continue to bring regular blue collar workers on, those are some of the most interesting stories. I agree, the comedians are great and all, but seeing them again and again gets old.
Every job has its negatives and "pet peeves" but to purposefully damage someones property is disgusting. This dude a straight up bum.
Right? And Theo Needs to stop with his nervous tick of PICKING HIS NOSE ! JFC! Stop!
This is great, my dad was a DSNY garbage man for 25 years it’s great seeing his profession finally get the recognition it deserves
I love that Theo interviews regular working class people! So many of these podcasts 80 percent of us can't relate to. These stories are important to. Theo von the star we all needed!
Also a town/city worker here. I rode the back of the garbage truck solo dolo for 3 and a half years. Most miserable time of my life. This guy explains how it really is everyday doing that job. I’ve got the palm of my hand cut open cause people don’t care and had a window pane in a heavy ass bag. We deal with enough bullshit on a day to day basis and there truly isn’t enough compensation for the work that all these guys do. Like he simply said, you show me respect by giving us water on a hot day or just a simple thank you goes a long way!
please keep interviewing normal people this is amazing
“What’re we fighting over garbage for?” That’s a great way to sum up the 2024 election.
*every election…
"it's on you" is the most literal statement ever lol
the fault
the smell
all of it
Theo is low key a genius. Bringing in normal people we don’t know, getting them to open up about a life most of us don’t know, but also important, it’s a life that a lot of people know. My dad drove for waste management for almost 30 years. When I get home I’m sending him the link to the video I’m sure he’d appreciate it because nobody thinks or cares about the garbage man. This is awesome Theo! We hear celebs tell the same stories over and over on other podcasts that it gets annoying. But stuff we haven’t heard like this is awesome
This episode was really good. Very interesting. Never stop doing these Theo!
I don’t think these comedians realize we don’t want to hear you talk about the ins and outs of fucking “comedy” for the hundredth thousandth time. No one except comedians care. Give me conversations like this!
This guy is funnier than most other comedian podcasts
I love theo for this,bless that man
One of my favorite jobs I ever had was a garbage man. I was in great shape physically. I also found everything you could ever want. I use to tell people tell me something you want and I will find it within 2 weeks. It was really a fun job.
"Well no, the cars were parked legally, I just like to scratch up cars."
this part made me sooooo mad. He really is a "garbage" man
Yeah. Scratch the 3 layer paint job and lose your pathetic fucking low life existence as the guy who takes my trash away. Fucking scumbag loser. He ain't making shit. That job pays less than $20/hr. He's a fucking little bitch who smells like shit. Worthless.
I commend waste management employees, the silent heros. I make sure to wake up early on pickup day to bring them waters and a gift card to a local fast food place for their lunch. Respect really goes a long way.
"What are we fighting over garbage 🗑 for?!?"
Because you're crazy 🤪 New Yorkers!!!🗽
🤣😝
This was a great episode. Theo should have this guy on again.
I worked as a garbage man once myself, more specifically I was the guy that rode on the back of the truck and tossed the trash in... Not the driver lol
I think a lot of people tend to forget not only how NECESSARY sanitation is, but how hard the job itself is. Imagine 2-4 garbage cans per house, which could weigh anywhere from 20 to 200 pounds depending on the contents. Multiply that by dozens or hundreds of stops, depending on the size of your town or city. Beyond that, you're in the elements.. be it extreme heat, or snow and sleet.
A few of the people on our route would occasionally leave treats/gift cards / etc.. mostly around the holidays. I always appreciated the entire f*** out of those people. Too many, look down on people in these sort of occupations.
I spent the time to stack 500 empty dvd cases in a garbage bag perfectly. Left. Came home to find the bag torn up & the DVD’s all over my building property. As if the garbage man had opened it to see what was so stiff & then thrown it back. I called the city & they said they don’t take that unless it’s a clear bag. What a bunch of idiots.
"What are we fighting over garbage for".. true words
Do more of these. I love working man stories
I worked for the parks department in my hometown for several years and I know exactly what this guy is talking about. We used to have people call City Hall to complain when they saw us taking our 10 minute break or stopping to get a coffee at the gas station. We worked out butts off and we got tired of every citizen in the city thinking that they were our bosses and that we somehow didn't deserve lunch breaks like everyone else in the workforce.
I worked at a resort down in Florida. The O.J’s. are some of the dirtiest, disrespectful, meanest people I’ve ever encountered.
And if you criticize them for it, you're labeled a hateful anti-semite. "They" love to yelp in pain as they strike you.
Real people podcast is needed! These stories are great!
Theo looked disappointed trying to pull up a good “got cut by porcelain tile” story.
Poor guy.
Wow this was an incredible peek inside the world of a garbage man, specifically to NYC etc. jobs like this are so essential and imagine having to smell what they smell and touch what they touch daily. Then add these entitled pieces of human garbage harassing these guys. This whole thing felt like it could be made into a movie with someone like Robert DeNiro and someone else as the younger guy. You can tell this guy has to deal with a lot of negative energy from people. Robots will be relaxing this job in a few years but it’s important to see these kinds of perspectives of such an essential job. When these guys strike, people freak out.
As someone who works for Amazon, I feel his pain. We literally delivering people's packages and they think they own us
I feel your pain! I used to work there. It’s like the bigger the company you work for, the less people see you as a human being. Made me really appreciate the few people who went out of their way to be kind.
love yall man forreal
You Amazon drivers are the most rude and incompetent of the delivery service drivers. That’s why we think we own you.
Thats stupid. SOmeone musta accidentally squashed your box of x-large stain resistant panties and double headed dragon dildo. Thats the only reason why you are built like this@@P3GProductions
You stink at driving
Glares' "why are we fighting over garbage?" So true
At 62 had trash service for the first time in my life. Always used the dumpster at work. First week I went out to say hello to my trash guy and offer a cold drink or the use of our bathroom....(don't forget these guys are in their truck all day. No bathroom) the guy was astounded. Told me i was the first person in 12 years to make that offer....since then he puts my cans away after emptying each week.......love that man......
I don’t do garbage but I gotta put those cans outside for pick up at my job. The worst thing is people don’t even have any decency to tie the trash bags. Always makes a big mess to clean on the floor.
People don't tie bags that they plan on filling more
Why would you throw it in those cans OUTSIDE , if you plan on filling the bag more? @@queenieqt2033
I bet people trash drinks half empty leaving a soggy wet filled bag.
How does it get on the floor? The trash bags are in the cans. You’re just rolling the cans out…
you need to empty the cans pal, some use the truck , some hand pick the bags in there is a lot . just gotta think here @@Benw3790
I always give gifts to the garbage guys at Christmas. I really appreciate that they take my trash and save me from having to make weekly trips to the dump. It's one of the things I LOVE my taxes going for...take all the money that the politicians steal and put it into sanitation, it would be better for everyone.
The old days getting a town garbage job before municipalities took over was a good gig!
Back in the old days mail men all walked the route, Xmas everybody gave the mailman a bottle of whiskey! Mailmen delivered to some wrong addresses during the holidays!
Garbage men got treated the same!
But this was when you had a milk box on your stoop!
People had human emotions!
Some dude drove around sharping yard tools!
People at the deli knew you by name!
The pizza shop dude Spoke in Italian
The shoe maker was German!
The permanent press guy where your mother got clothes pressed was Greek!
And was a basketball fan!
The donut shop was family owned.
The bar owners lived in the neighborhood!
Bankers are bankers but the tellers knew you by name!
The insurance guy was your baseball coach!
Hard to explain the simplicity of life at one time in this country!
Everybody was just living the best they could! People got along with less!
If you turned off your tv your mind would be free from propaganda and abuse!
Which a lot of people did in the old days, weekends was for family phones did not ring!
Today they come for you, in so many different Angles trying to get inside your head!
With their peer pressure and social engineering!
In My day Garbage-men were cool!
But so was life!
Cool video!
!
the future is now old man.
AI much

Glad to see Andrew Schultz and Bert Kreischer learned the fusion dance
Theo:
"Whyd they throw fire in your truck, were they training for War or somethin?"
...Reality must be insane for Theo 🤣
What an amazing insight into the life. I grew up with the understanding that the garbage peeps and Sanitation workers should be held to the highest regards they literally keep the health of the city up to par. Imagine if In New York the Garbage wasn’t cleaned up
It sounds like he wasn't fighting over garbage, but instead fighting with garbage.
its so weird to hear they get treated like that. where i live, everyone loves the garbageman. my neighbor was a garbageman and come christmas time his house would have more cases of beer than the super market lol. the hallways, living room, kitchen would be line with cases floor to ceiling. thought it was the coolest job ever and even wanted to become one for a while
Yeah I drove a garbage truck for four years and mostly older women would come yelling at me all the time. They would know they were in the wrong and have this crazy attitude. People would empty out their garage and expect us to take it. Also recycling is absolutely worthless as we’d dump both in the same landfill. No money in recycling other than pretending that it actually works.
New York people, so......
This is honestly so much more interesting that any other thing on a podcast. Fake or real celebrities complaining about their lives, or they're bad decisions, boohoo who cares, this kind of content is where it's at. Real people, telling real stories.
I love to see a mailman/mailwoman on this show. I have been a mailman myself and it has been the most interesting job I had so far
I appreciate what ur doing Theo I’m from Lake Charles Louisiana and we support you over here. I appreciate you not just interviewing celebrities but normal People as well definitely need to get together so we can talk some crazy Louisiana stories.
I try to make my garbage collector's job easy on my stop. I don't take their work for granted.
Wow, this just became the best comedian podcast. Good on you for bringing hard working humans on. They got stories too. This was a great episode. You are a real one, Theo.
It's good to hear from real life everyday people and not the same comedians.
My dad taught me to always give a nice tip, especially at the holidays, to all that provided a service, especially the garbage guys. We appreciate you💓
4:30 EVERY SINGLE TIME, I knew it before he even said it lmaoooooooo. Unreal....
I like this bro, talking to regular dudes Kinda over the regulars making the rounds on all the podcasts. This was cool
In terms of traffic flow, I personally believe it would be better for everyone if garbage collection was overnight. Might even be more efficient for them..Though people would complain no matter what time of day
Bins on the side of the road sucks. I miss my hometown where we had big alleys and private dumpsters for 3-4 houses. Plus, it made dumpster diving amazing as a kid!
Hell no, they finally banned them from starting early mornings in my area. You really want that noise in the night?
Screw your traffic and let us have some peace and quiet at night. I used to live on street where they would pick up restaurant trash at night. It basically woke everyone not wearing earplugs.
My grandpa was a garbage man for 30 years back when they used to hang off the back end and manually lift the cans in. He also grew up in poverty in the south and had polio as a kid but worked hard to eventually get out of his braces and worked hard to provide for my dad and my 4 aunts. He was an amazing man and grandfather , every time I feel sorry for myself I remember if he could do that type of hard labor having the illness he had then I can get over whatever bullshit I’m dealing with.
Nursing a biscuit was hilarious lmfao
Garbage men are the best... Some of the happiest people that do the job that everyone takes for granted.
As a former garbage man of 4 years i cant wait to relate to every topic. I once flipped an old ladies trash can upside down after she DEMANDED me to put it back exactly how I found it like I was some kind of child. So i did it. Just not how she would've expected.
sad you cant respect some1 else property and home. Just put the can back how u found it. Why does that hurt u so much?
I was a trash man in Indy for 16 yrs every thing this dude says is so true..ive seen or heard of multiple fights,guns pulled, I even know a guy who was shot on the route..
This guy is great.
Really? He acts like he's better than you and me just because he takes away our trash 😒
@@whataworld369nah just seems like a regular dude who isn’t pretending or sucking up to anyone
@@whataworld369 You must be hella insecure if you're picking up that vibe...
