I was 17 homeless and worked at “long john silver”. Never went hungry and my paycheck went to drugs and alcohol. Life was good.
Where did you shower?

@@franciscocobosrodriguez7395 smart. You slept in car or outside?
@Chris Porter curiosity.
U can’t be homeless and have a job. They have to have an address
imagine giving a job interview and the person wanting the job is only worried about how much food and drinks they can potentially take
Well the tragic thing about it is that’s the only food they’re getting that week…
I mean what else would be the appeal 😂
lol sooo every interview at Sonic? You WILL notice that manager was very experienced at handling Tim's inquiries into how much food he could take
at least there's some honesty there but I get you
@@julianmarx2002 I somehow doubt he was the manager since he kept asking the lady for answers to basic questions about pay. Probably a team manager or whatever is below that.
The guy on the phone seemed pretty chill
Tim is probably the most reasonable person he talked to that day
He really does. Loved the honesty about the cooking experience.
he was wholesome
So polite
@@samelmudir bruh lmao you’re not lying
“ So it’s 5 dollars an hour but I can drink all the soda I want”. That was way too funny for no reason.
I am dying over here. The nightmare hellscape that is the US Economy is so fucking funny and horrifying
the way he said that with such disdain
$5 and I can bring a little burger home for my baby
@@stanfromparis1656 lmao 🤣😂
The shift in his tone was just funny af
Plot twist...Tim was talking to the future CEO of Sonic
😂😂😂
No one can touch Tim’s elaborate, committed level of facetiousness
Perfectly said
Redbar did it first, and better
@@gezenews too long didnt read bro akak TL;DR
The only gay thing about him
I bet he started at Arby's!
“Were getting them started early” “of course sir”
😂😂😂😂
In tears at the thought of a guy working his way from fries to CEO of Arby’s 😂
Life in the big city.
“Get the CEO of Arby’s up. I bet he started at Arby’s!” I knew that wasn’t going to end well.
So did Tim
What's up, Rico? How's the Time Machine?
he was literally the manager of a management company lol
The controversies tab for McKinsey and company on Wikipedia...
There are CEOs that started like that though
Tim isn't a national treasure, he's a universal treasure.
Just tell it like it is! Fuck it
He certainly has a cosmic presence
He’s a fast food treasure
No, he is a fool
We’re hiring cooks
Do I need to be good at cooking?
*No sir, not at all.*
That was such a curveball that Ben almost lost his shit
Corporate America
You literally throw frozen Patties on a grill then drop the stove. It’s the easiest shit ever. Only part that sucks is cleaning out the oil.
"not at all" part really sold me
Life in the big city
This was funny and depressing at the same time.
That’s all life is
@@Lucky-sh1dm you're right. 😭 😂
Workers used to steal hella food and cash from the McDonalds in my area.
Yes
Wonder why they’d steal with that wage…?
What a nice polite lad on the phone.
He was trying to get another cook hired lol he’s probably doing the work of 2 people smh
He seemed too intelligent for that job too…meanwhile we have morons like sleepy slow Joe as President of the United States…
TD - Got my two 1 year old babies on burgers.
Polite lad - Of course, sir.
He has to be polite and positive, when an employee talks on the phone there is always a manager with his finger on the phone hook and a gun to his head.
The way Ben was uncontrollably laughing during the call is why this is the best podcast in the world.
YESSSS....
No it's Tim Dillon lol
I looked over and saw him loosing it and I started crying.
I don't know, his laughing is forced and not real a lot of the time and it actually makes it hard to watch for me.
We’re all ben
I worked for Chipotle for a year and I truly TRULY lost parts of me i know i will never see again
I've never related more to a comment. I spent several years of my life in food before joining corporate AmericaAand when I tell people this they don't get it.
The best way I can describe it is being much more jaded, forgive me if that isn't an accurate comparison to your feelings, but just was thrilled to know I wasn't alone in this feeling.
@@TheElmatador32 your response is super appreciated and welcome. Thanks for posting.
The repetition of damage, the drilling home of the dehumanization, can only be experienced to be fully understood. I literally would chose breaking rocks on the side of the road in india and living in a thatched shack.
There’s something incredibly anti human about many of these food and service jobs that absolutely jades you! I feel that for sure. Yeah We all get jaded to some extent as we go through hard stuff. But the emotional and psychological toll specific to the reduction of human experience to sheer transaction and life force extraction really steals hope and trust in reality, and annihilates the ability to save yourself.
Ive been assaulted, ive been gravely injured, ive seen a lot of death. For some still elusive reason, these devastating life experiences pale in comparison to the death of soul and spirit that a lot of these places pay you $14 an hour to experience.
Again, i joke about my time working those jobs. But i absolutely understand why people snap and want to die working in these places, which aint no joke.
Real pickle we’ve got here. Also the guac costs extra
@@MFJoneser wow seen a lot of death , this is all from fast food damn
@@justanotherguyful my bad dude, not at the jobs, but elsewhere...
@@MFJoneser lol sounded like youve been living in a mcgangstas mcparadise
Someone commented that Tim should find out who this guy was and give him a tip. I think that would be epic!
The guy who answered the phone was great!
@David P us menial job shitheads let you have free stuff if you ask first, nicely, and not every single day.
Fucking Reddit
not everyone chill needs to get money for it lol kind of a bad mindset there
@@Rowsy91 A “bad” mindset? Wow. How could doing something good for some one from the motivation of one’s heart be “bad” on a one to one level.
I think what you might not be equating is that only the guy at the fast food place would know of what someone might or might not do and why. He’s not EXPECTING a “tip” after this. That would be different. And I would agree with you in that case.
However, even if after someone may “tip” him, it’s then between him and whoever he tells and how. The person rewarding him for his “chill” behavior is no longer involved and the “good deed” still stands in it’s original intention.
Thanks for the comment.
Gary V told me I just need to hustle. That was 10 years ago. Maybe I should find out what hustle means.
Check out “every day I’m hustling” for some pro tips
Well Mr. V swallows every piece of gum he chews for “efficiency” so I would start there
@@chilibeer3912good way to get going
Tim should call a business each episode he is too good at this lmao
Have you seen his bit about being a fake business man? He deserves an Emmy.
When Tim says “we’re gettin them started early” and the sonic guy said, “of course sir” I fucking lost it
Instead of liking this comment I will reply and let you know I agree with a 👍
I was an asst manager at sonic for 2 years and was paid the least of all the managers for no reason and the general manager got arrested for drugs or something, truly character building work
😆 🍟 🍔🥤
That's hilarious my local Sonic got shut down because the GM was selling drugs by putting them in the bag with food. All was great until a 6 year old accidently got a bag of molly
How much free food can the assistant manager take?
Sonic tastes pretty good though especially the milkshakes

I LOVE how ignorant Tim pretends to be about working class struggles. It adds to the humor immeasurably
The working class doesn't make minimum wage.....
@@botdavid323 seems appropriate for 15 year olds
@@herbthompson8937 Some do, some dont, at 18 I was making 25 dollars an hour as a table games dealer at a casino, but my family who worked there also helped me get that job. Some people who are doing nothing but trying to escape their hell hole of a living situation leave, and dont have the time and support to work full time while taking a 3 month class to work somewhere else making decent money, if that kind of opportunity even exists for them. Some people are 45 working at walmart barely scraping it by. You can say that's not the "working class" but I disagree, different people get a different hand of cards, and of course yes play them differently as well, but you gotta have some empathy, dont play for the team that's fucking people in the ass while telling them its their fault.
@@jazerasor1455 45 working at Walmart... they fucked up tremendously somewhere along the road
@@herbthompson8937 yes, it all started with being born
The Sonic guy was sweet
I hope he makes atleast 3 times what he makes there now. No one should make so little.
smart also woth mgmt tjeu had numbers
@@angelgjr1999I doubt he does make more money. Family member of mine worked retail for over 25 years I don’t think they even make more than $25 an hour. Certainly not over $30
That guy needs a raise, he’s so nice
290 for 40 hours a week is just enough money so the un don’t get involved
You got a hearty laugh out of me. Well done sir.
290 is enough for some crack and a box to sleep in
lol what’s the un gonna do
probably the funniest moment in this podcast's history
I also like when he read his apology letter for trash talking Bill Gates. Effing gold.
One of his Better help ad reads is pretty good too.
What about his gay father calling
Not as good as the Ellen degeneres rant. That is the gold standard of comedic rants and Is what established Tim as the funniest comedian ever for me.
This is the funniest?.. good thing I’ve never wasted my time watching it then
“Works at Hardee’s and makes $15,000 per year”
Income Taxes: *enters the chat*
Rent. And inflation are now in a relationship and also enter chat.
Reality has entered the chat: these are entry level jobs made for teenagers. If you’re over 25 and working at sonic something has gone seriously wrong.
You pay taxes on $15,000? You’re fucked mate
@@jakehowie442 taxes come straight out of your check, and im pretty sure you need to pay income tax if you make anything over $12k I believe?
*child support enters the w-2*
“$5 an hour because they get tips.” *Unbelievable*
Most waitresses and waiters will get paid less than $3 an hour due to tips. This became legal/lawful after restaurants lobbied congress to pay them less than minimum wage.
Most American fast food companies are greedy as fuck. You don’t make shit.
Who tips in a drive-in fast food joint?
@@jakehowie442 I've been going to Sonic for years and had NO IDEA you were even supposed to tip.
@@captainhempbeard5737might as well buy a hammock and sleep by a semi fresh body of water and hope your good at finding food if there is any food resources left in said area you set up cx. because damn at least you'd have more enjoyment from life doing that.
5$ an hour wow. That should be illegal
People should just spit in their face and walk out when they say 5 lol, only way things gonna change is if people start acting like they have sense. $5 made sense about 60 years ago when one of our dollars = about $0.14. wrap your head around that
Did you not pay attention? 5$ plus tips and soda!! Momma I made it to the big time!!
These are designed for high school kids
My girlfriend was a waitress not at Sonic but she only got paid $2.75 an HR/ but she made a minimum of $75 in tips a day on busy days sometimes over $200. She averaged about $20 an hour as a 16 year old girl at her very first job...
People still make slavery wage. I was shocked when I found out ice cream sellers make 2 dollars an hour.
Ben's laughing during the call had me doing the same but vocalizing... impressive he silenced himself the whole time, and that Tim didn't crack up with someone cracking up next to him. truly a master of fake business
lmao "but vocalizing" noted information
Tim is the best Comedian on this Planet, Yes or Yes?
$5 an hour but all the soda I want?
Yeah, in years to come you'll need med. ins. for your diabetes ha, ha. And at $5/hr you won't afford it.😄
And you can sneak a burger 1 day. And sneak an ice cream another day, and fries on the 3rd day!
"What's 5 times 25?" - Tim Former Mortgage guy Dillon. :D

He's hanging out with Rogan too much
“Who doesn’t wanna work at Hardee’s?!” 🤣
At HHHHHHHHHARDIES?
Hardee’s makes the best shakes tho. I’d steal a grand worth of shakes if I worked there.
I dont even wanna eat there.

“We were unsure if they had the meats but they do” 😂💀
I fucking screamed 😭😭
Worked ten years in restaurants, when you eat stolen food on the job its called "grazing"

What a nice fella that answered the phone at sonic
Life in the big city.
The amount of discipline it has to take Tim to not laugh while on that phone call hearing Ben laugh is unreal. How is he not as jacked as Rogan?
Haha jacked from holding on laughter? That's amazing
So much of Tim Dillon's humor is not even jokes, it's just saying out loud the mundane yet completely psychotic facts of the world we live in.
Life in the big city.
Lol hilarious. I'm wondering when the CEO gets fired or quits he'll take a 50+ million dollar package, but at least you get a burger and an ice cream once in awhile. Sounds like a great opportunity.
You don’t understand he came up with “we’ve got the meats”! You ungrateful pig maybe you’ll get a severance package when you come up with a 50 million dollar idea. We need more people like him who pulled themselves up by the bootstraps from service to sentience. Yes sir!
@@johnmobile5747 lol
But he came up with "We've got the meats", did the dude on the other end of the phone seem like someone who could come up with that?
Arbys is pretty disgusting though. I got food poison from there.
If you're lucky enough to get over 30 hours you might be able to survive on it
In certain states yea. Good luck living off that in the NY area lmao. You can work all month and not spend a penny and you still won’t have enough for rent. Even with a roommate 😂
so work at 2 different places to do 40 hours.
Lmfao no way in hell can you live off 7.25 an hour. Unless you’re working 80 hour work weeks.
@@angelgjr1999 fuck that man worked over 40 once and the tedium literally kills.
@@AltCTRLF8 so little time and so much to do waste away your days slaving away so you have a place to stay.
Tim's sarcasm is next level
My Dad always taught me to go straight up the chain no matter what businesses you’re calling. When I had a broken laptop in college, he said, “call up Dell. Ask for Mr. Dell, obviously.” Best advice I’ve ever been given.
Same
I had a coworker who trained me and the only thing I learned from him was Tim’s TH-cam channel. To this day I am very thankful and crying from laughter 😭
“You’re making 40 dollars a day what’s the problem?”😂😂😂
i make that a hour, sounds like complete hell.
I once argued with a guy about why minimum wage should be increased, and he said “no, they should strive for more, become there own boss” he was a cashier at a circle K
hes an idiot but the minimum wage does nothing btw. we shouldn’t even have one. a hefty majority of people get paid well more than the minimum wage at basic jobs like sonic they get paid $11 an hour and that’s about the easiest job you can have.
whole lot to unpack but minimum wage solves nothing it actually in some ways makes thing worse.
@@InvaderG Sadly true, though those cooks should probably be making more like 20-30 to even touch what that kind of work used to pay in the 70's. We're pretty much at the point this inflation raff combined with the meme economy are gonna cause some real hurt. Seriously who thinks 290 dollars a week is livable? And everyone can't move up lol, there need to be people in those lower positions.
In the end, the low wages end up hurting the corporations more than it would help to pay the peons twice as much. Back when I was a cashier for Jewel I would actively sabotage the company because I had so much disdain that two weeks of work out of the month just about covered the insurance and gas for the car I only needed to get to work in the first place. I purposely ruined product, did a half ass job, openly told the managers I refused to do certain things because if they fired me I could just go down the street and get another job that day that paid the same without question. Thought it was funny to openly tell customers how bad the business was and that they should shop somewhere else, right at the register in front of managers. Funny they never fired me cause I was one of their best workers XD
@@InvaderG Is it easy? 8 hours in a kitchen, every day, it's hot and exhausting af.
@@xraceboyex if you work a forty hour week you should be paid well, period there's enough wealth around with modern technology and automation surely.
So let’s make it law. If you cannot afford to pay your staff 20-25 a hour you should not be allowed to open a business. Honestly that would solve everything. No more small business. Only big corporations. Perfect.
The guy on the phone at Sonic deserves a raise.
$15 minimum wage where I am but living cost is absolutely insane so...
@@BurnTheFed1913 be specific what exactly is *twice* the price in cities where they pay $15 an hour verses $7.75. If you used your big boy brain and ever left your hometown you'd see that commodities are less than a dollar more expensive. Well worth it if the person making your food is able to feed their kids or pay their rent if you ask me but god forbid your Big Mac costs .20 cents more
@@BurnTheFed1913 All them there libtards!
B.G. Bankston Sr. Doubling wages doesn’t double prices, thats not how math works.
The price of good is NOT 100% tied to labor. Any increase in wages will ALWAYS lead to better buying power and will ALWAYS outpace inflation. Its basic math. So apparently “the dems” know exactly what they’re talking about and you don’t, lol.
@@BurnTheFed1913 yeah man I see the argument you’re tryna make but consumer goods don’t go up by the same factor as wages. Rent is probably about twice as expensive in some of these places as it is in places with a 7.25 minimum wage, that I’ll give you, but that’s likely more due to a preponderance of higher paying salaried jobs in that area as opposed to the fact that the lowest income earners make more.
I was in the car driving to work and pulled over because the laughter was too much and made it unsafe. Asking a cashier at a fast food establishment the most serious and legit questions about working at sonic! 🤣🤣
I use to avoid Tim's rant videos and tbh I'm glad I did cause I can watch them all now.. this is gold. You make 9000 a year what's the problem you can have an ice cream 😂😂
it's essentially a form of indirect slavery.
Why did you avoid them?
@@wii60own I thought he was trying to hard and in turn wouldnt be funny. I was wrong

"We're hiring cooks"
"Okay... so do you need to be good at cooking?"
jesus fuck man I'm dying over here
Manager: Cooks make 11 an hour
guy at the phone: really?
"We got the meat . We were unsure if they had the meats but they do!" lmao lost it bro
I just found this guy and his smart ass humor is right up my alley.
"We were unsure of if they had the meats, but they had the meats!"
This is literally the funniest shit I’ve ever seen
This cured my job interview/searching anxiety. Thanks Tim.
I've been working as a carhop at Sonic for a while now on and off. At the end of the day it's a VERY accessible job. You saw how eager that guy was to get Tim through the door by how nice and welcoming he was (even though it sucks that's not the norm).
I get paid 6 an hour because of all my experience with Sonic.
About 30 percent of my customers tip me. Just enough to get a little bit above the federal requirement of what I have to make. No one believes we need that money to meet a legal standard.
I've had money thrown on the ground in front of me (a single dollar not that it matters) so that I could be watched picking it up. Irrelevant, but eye opening to me.
I work here because I smoke marijuana. Everyone knows this there and they're okay with it. I smoke cannabis to cope with anxiety and depression since I have no health insurance. I'm trying to cut back since it's so expensive.
Food industry jobs are the only avenue (or so it seems) for people that might need to pass a drug test in illegal cannabis states.
I've accepted my lack of money In exchange for a lack of mental and emotional pain.
Teachers don’t have to pass drug tests
I work at a factory that pays well, and doesnt test for weed, but I know what you're saying. Next time someone throws a dollar on the ground so they can watch you pick it up don't. That's beyond degrading dude.
It's pretty hard to make me laugh and I almost died of laughter watching this. Just discovered Tim and he's one of the funniest dudes I've ever come across.
Same here...
Tim is so good at satire, I know he's joking, but he has me second guessing.
10:40 Tim is hilarious on this call I’m dying with Ben trying not laugh too
Legendary clip.
This is so funny. I’m dying in my Uber with headphones on looking psychotic

I think Tim might be one of the best sarcastic comedians of all time. This bit and the Jenny slate bit are seriously genius.
Tim Dillon Show is a real life GTA radio station talk show.
I worked at Sonic years ago, and they eventually stopped us from eating food without paying half price. We were going to get fired over eating a single tater tot.
