@@fritjofrocker5047 I'm more of a casual listener of theirs. The pod is a bit much for me as but I love the clips and they are perfect guests for others, both separate and together.
I would love a "A Tale of Two Waiters" series with Foley and Dan. As a cook who hears some of the horror stories from co-workers; I would be absolutely locked in lol
I was back of the house from the mid nineties until 2016. Nobody partied harder back then. The way we talked to the servers and each other would land you in jail these days haha. If people only knew what was happening back there. The most fun I ever had was being kitchen manager of a high end strip club. Easy money
I love listening to dans old job stories. I still go back to the skeptic tank ep he tells ari about fishing with crack heads 10/10 would recomend that listen
Taylor Swift came thru my city recently. I know ppl who work in the industry downtown. One table had people bragging about how much they spent to get tickets, travel, and book a hotel. They ran up a $300+ bill and stiffed the waiter. I don't understand how people can be such slime.
Entitled, priveldged people love to brag about how much they pay for popular things. They know nothing of actually working for a living and think anyone in the service industry are their outsourced servants.
Getting taxed on income is fine. We only had to report 10% of sales as tips to be taxed, so if you were any good at all you could be pulling in $500 a night and only be taxed on $100 of it.
Ahh man, I used to serve at Green Mill, Bible-sized menus and it was mother's day. Terribly staffed kitchen meant not one plate made it out before a 45 minute wait. The table I was serving told me that I (the server, personally) ruined Mother's day for 3 generations of moms. Then they left me less than the tab's cost in cash and told me "you can cover the rest" (it was like a few bucks but still) First time I ever cried from rage at a job 🤣 definitely not the last
These stories are all relatable across any sort of customer service based gig. Anyone who's had a customer facing job, or even a call center type thing all have these stories of the general public being mostly okay at best, but then there's these types that get off on being awful to people they deem "lower" than them. Shit, the last day of a customer service gig when you move onward and upward is one of the best feelings there is.
I waited at a Comedy Zone tour stop in Lake Lure (1988-1991) & we got to see amazing comics from Comedy Central. They acted scared of coming to the place Dirty Dancing was filmed but man, we’d grab them after their shifts and have a blast at the bar! Wait staff + comedians after hours is dynamite 🧨
Everyone should have to wait tables for at least 1 year of your life so you realize your ranch dressing isn't that important. Old Daniel Tosh joke, spot on.
Eff the ladies who lunch. And the red hat ladies. Where did they even come from? Lil Wayne and crew, best table i ever had. His manager ended up leaving us tickets for the next show.
7:31 it astounds me how many people come in and eat where I work and tell me they’re in a hurry….we’re a scratch kitchen, everything is home made and made to order so we don’t have anything that’s ready to serve. We’re as fast as we can be but it’s an average of 20 to 25 minutes to make your food but if it’s 6:30 at night and there are 40 tickets in front of you then it’s gonna be longer. And customers can not understand this concept
The stories I have are nearly infinite and in number and astonishment. From the family that let their toddler take a dump under the big top table they were at to the ones who insist that tilapia is a vegetable. The vegans who order an item with pancetta in the name are always the most entertaining if you can keep your own head in the comedy space instead of the frustration space.
11:10 I love talking shit about other tables with the waiters when I see their being assholes. I'm glad to hear it's appreciated on the otherside too 😂
I used to buss tables in Napa Valley. Joe Montana comes in with his family, beautiful people. All complete assholes to everyone. The kids suck, the wife sucks, Joe sucked the worst of them all. He would throw money at his kids to get them to run off away from him so he could have some peace. He was a dick to me and all the other staff.
@@SethInSD You would be surprised how many smiling idiots are the worst people and how many serious looking people are the nicest if you actually talk to them.
I have those exact headphones and they’re pretty big even without the extenders. The head on Danny Sodies has got them showing serious silver… beautiful throwback to the good old days when T Bone was still producing as well
Korea has the mandatory military service for all men before the age of 28. The US should have a mandatory service-industry job for all men and women before the age of 28.
I remember when an eight top left me a smattering of pennies and nickels after telling me all night how well they were going to take care of me. I followed them out to the parking lot and chucked their handful of change in their direction and told them obviously they need it worse than I do. I didn't get fired. I guess they were too embarrassed to come back in and say anything.
I had my whole section sat on a Sunday lunch with church ppl and I'm talking pushing tables together it was at least 20 or 25 ppl where I had to have some backup. I think we split 5$ for all those ppl and it basically took my whole shift. It sucked bad! I get left cards saying we'll pray for ya?? I was hungover but I was doing my job! It was complete bs and I went to college with Carrie underwood! And she had already hit it big and came into the local chili's and I helped take car of her and her sorority sisters.
Had a lady once complain that a cobb salad doesn't come with bacon and every other restaurant shes been to never comes with bacon and demanded a new one even though all the ingredients were read to her by another employee over the phone
I get such shitty service in the states from servers because im from europe which is a bit of a turn off, its almost self fulfilling. I tip as a rule 20% unless the food/service is disastrous as i get its the wage structure, but do more if the service is decent.
I worked in a pompous downtown restaurant and did the “Fuck it I QUIT” move on a busy Valentine’s Day dinner rush. I still get chubbs thinking about it.
You know, the selfishness you exhibit is exactly the selfishness that you experienced from other people. Way to keep it going. That last sentence was sarcasm.
delivered pizza in buffalo 52 years ago, worst blizzard woman around the corner orders 1/2 pie $1.31, gives me $1.35 and wants her change. week later driving girl who worked with me home, pull up to cheap house. she reminds me of last week, pulled away, she got her ice cold pizza 40 minutes later. always had exact change after that
I was a short order cook in the middle of a golf course for a summer job. Would absolutely get in arguments with annoying customers. The owners weird son tried telling me to wipe down a table. Told him to F off. Got a talking to for that 😂.
I’m 29 gave up my career to be a dad first. Been working part time in the service industry and it’s the fucking worst shit ever. I’m so happy I can be there for my kid but the shit I have to go through to make a 20% tip is absolutely insanity.
I love the war stories of "industry" people. Its always very clear they never roofed in july or rode hay wagon in august or cleared timber in january. Yea people can be rude, but you can avoid it by not being a tip worker
I could listen to Dan tell restaurant stories for hours
45 minutes for me, then I'd have to ask him to change the subject.
It stresses me out but I love it.
Me too. I love to hear other former servers' war stories.
He's the best podcast guest you could possibly ever have.
He's the best
Watching this on my hour break between a double waiting tables is surreal
Hope you had a good shift fellow soldier
Godspeed, friend.
Having an hour break in the middle of a double is surreal.
I literally can't listen to stories like this anymore. It's too close to home.
Hang in there dawg, you’ll get out
"Didn't I just quit and walk out of there?"
"No I think they asked you not to come back anymore"
"No that was the other place"
What a legend
Goddamn, is this my life? I quit an Irish pub job and a Halal deli in the same month once and that was danger close to what happened with me lol
A rotating podcast of comedians talking about working in restaurants would be dope.
Would totally love to see that!
isnt that 45% of ayg? and isnt that [among other reasons] why we love it?
That is what the podcast Entry Level with Brooks Whealan is about.
@@snv7723 good to know. He's pretty funny. I've seen him live and caught him on Soder recently. I'll check it out, thanks!

We foodservice veterans have so many horror stories
Oh man the pinto beans story is great 😆
I involuntarily started clapping when he said "cartoonish" amount of beans because I've absolutely done the same thing.
friggin Canadians amirite?
I worked a place with a revolving door, they didn't let servers smoke, they dropped the rule and kept staff for years lmao
Sodes is the funniest guy doing it right now. Caught him in Cleveland and my wife and I’s stomach hurt from laughing so much.
Awake
You and your poor wife will be in my prayers. I can't imagine how hard it must be for the two of you to have to share one stomach.

Don't be a momo, get out on the floor and make five times the money in the same shift. Plus you will have all of these character building stories..
@seanmurphy26 fuck that noise lol
I got stories for days about waiting tables and bartending. I can relate so much.
People can be animals.
I was back of the house from the mid nineties until 2016. Nobody partied harder back then. The way we talked to the servers and each other would land you in jail these days haha. If people only knew what was happening back there.
The most fun I ever had was being kitchen manager of a high end strip club. Easy money
the good old days before they killed toby and left him in a dumpster in philly.
😂😂
Who could a guessed a rich kid thought he was funnier than he actually is and left an amazing job to be a nobody
Good riddance
I don’t miss that laugh tbh
Miss me some Tobey bro
It's been the better part of a decade since I bartended in a restaurant and I still have bad dreams about being stuck in the weeds.
Me running expo with thousands of paper tickets
Same. 12 years fast food, been out for 7ish years and I still dream about the bad times there. Glad to be gone lol
I still have waitmares ( I looked it up, it's a thing :
2:19 😂😂😂 one of my favorite memes about waiting tables said “you can’t get weeded if you don’t give a F” I lived by that motto 😂😂😂
It's the only way to fly. "Fuck em."
Legit my last night bartending at this neighborhood burger joint.
12:49 can't believe he was holding onto this story for this long, all these interviews
Good ol service industry PTSD 😂
Thank you for saying I’ll get to leave someday, I needed that.❤
Legit shed a tear of depression while in my car about to go into my steakhouse shift , listening to this .
Remember its making you a better person... completely against your will but still.
I love listening to dans old job stories. I still go back to the skeptic tank ep he tells ari about fishing with crack heads 10/10 would recomend that listen
When foley and Kevin jinx each other when they say “ya dumb bitch” @ 9:12 I lost it 🤣
That arcade game screen flashing and scrolling behind Dan is driving me insane!
I felt this in my soul. I still have nightmares about being in the weeds serving tables. It's been 7 years since I've waited tables.
We need more Soder pop! Love you boys from the bottom of my heart!
I've never related to something so perfectly in my life
Love me some Soder!!!
When Foley says just Him and Cooper in the restaurant, kippy laughs and looks at Toby lmao like “we’ve heard this bullshit”

300 tab should have gratuity added
Im a night bartender, but i literally finished washing the gel out of my hair, my face and neck wheb that came up. Love the relatability.
"... even if you're just leaving."
going to have that on my grave stone
The nightmare of getting taxed on your tips, while busting a** serving tables.
Getting taxed on income is fine. We only had to report 10% of sales as tips to be taxed, so if you were any good at all you could be pulling in $500 a night and only be taxed on $100 of it.
Ahh man, I used to serve at Green Mill, Bible-sized menus and it was mother's day. Terribly staffed kitchen meant not one plate made it out before a 45 minute wait.
The table I was serving told me that I (the server, personally) ruined Mother's day for 3 generations of moms. Then they left me less than the tab's cost in cash and told me "you can cover the rest" (it was like a few bucks but still)
First time I ever cried from rage at a job 🤣 definitely not the last
This gave me flashbacks. Now I’m pissed.
Best Dangerfield impression ever
Was lucky enough to catch Dan here in Toronto a couple weeks back. Dude is the best

Everyone should work a customer facing job after high school. Then people will learn that it matters how you treat people.

I had bam margera and Matt Hoffman once at this music venue/bar. Cool dudes. The thunder team would also come in sometimes
Anyone who has waited tables in a big city can relate to this and be glad Dan made it out.
9:16 the synergy! “Dumb bitch!” Kippy and the big man, on the same page!
I love how they both remembered the actual order from years ago
5:05 "like a detective?" 😂
Dan Soder is top 20 most underrated comedian
That is a really good Dangerfield impression 😂
Man hearing Tobis laugh. Getting nostalgic over here! Good times boys!

Do you have any other completely regarded ideas?

1 ZILLION PERCENT AGREE with Dan’s stories.
“ALL BLACKS” was so out of left field until Dan clarified he was referring to his uniform
My lanta. This sounds like a nightmare and my wettest dream at the same time. I miss waiting tables.

11:14 RIP Mort, the NFL community misses you.
I always try to tip a ridiculously high amount when I go out because of stories like this.
Soder is such good people. No wonder he landed a 12.
💯👍👍
I worked back of the house and always felt bad for the servers.
I remember when Soder first starred doing YKWD after his shifts at a mexican restaurant.
Working at a bar "bro hook me up, ill tip you fat" tips 10 percent.
Sometimes I get a feeling soder is my long lost big brother
What a guy, this guy.
I get such shitty service in the states from servers because im from europe which is a bit of a turn off, its almost self fulfilling. I tip as a rule 20% unless the food/service is disastrous as i get its the wage structure, but do more if the service is decent.
I busted so much, *but never waited a single table.*
"8 top, all blacksl" is hilarious 😂
This literally happened to me last Saturday 😢
Waiting tables is one of the best jobs of all time…. Especially looking back
I worked in a pompous downtown restaurant and did the “Fuck it I QUIT” move on a busy Valentine’s Day dinner rush. I still get chubbs thinking about it.
Thinking about all the other waiters you screwed when you refused to cover your shift?
You know, the selfishness you exhibit is exactly the selfishness that you experienced from other people. Way to keep it going.

Shoutout to when Big Buck Hunter worked lol
I can only imagine dan taking my order
"you know what i like about restaurants? you learn a lot watching things eat."
Imagine being rude to this guy at a restaurant.
Few years later
Scroll through netflix and see him in Billion's and then his own comedy special.

There's no way I could have a conversation with a comedian unless it's specifically about this service industry hell, like war veterans bonding.
