Speaker 2 (01:06):
How are you I think to think of you like this?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Remember what was the kid's meals that had the penguin
on the front of it? You know what I'm talking about?
Where it was just like it's like they just they
came in. There's always like a brownie, brownie, mac and
cheese and veggies or a brownie because it was a brownie.
It was always a brownie, always a browny they made.
I think they started as a brownie company and they're
just like yeah, I think they're like shitty pizza with this.

Let's just had on some shitty mac and cheese to
this brownie.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
And you know what, you know if this brownie is

But you know what, we're gonna put a penguin on it. It.
Kids are gonna love it.

YouTube here soon, so you're gonna want to check that out.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's our friend and yours, Ben Katzner. Welcome. Ben. Hey,
I just want to clarify, kids don't love me, keep
them away from me. I don't love kids. I'm just
a guy. I'm to a global person. I'm really allowed
to be by them, and that's how I know that.
So let's just put that out there right now.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I could be with any distance some children.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
And they're chill. I got no beef with them, but
I want to be.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
As farthest away from children as possible.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Is the thing like you already known as the.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Could you get like could you get like a like
a a restraining order against all children you got that
reverse where they can't come within five hundred feet of you.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, just to let everyone know I'm normal and cool,
I get a restraining order against all kids, I think.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, that's going to dispel the rumors. Yeah, every restaurant
you go to is a child for your restaurant.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'm not the pedaphile. Your your child is an old file.
Oh coming on to me with these big baby eyes.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh, I don't like it. I don't like too, man.
I think that was a that's just this bag.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
That's they trying to put fish sticks with a brown
Either way, it was called kid cuisine, kit cuisine, Thank you,
thank you, and I ate.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
It as an adult. Really, don't you want to eating
King Cuisine as an adult?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So we can.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
When you're an adult, you can have ice cream for breakfast,
you can have kid cuisine.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yes, if you walk, you can do whatever you want.
You're an adult.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Now I'm asking to when did you do that too?
Did it was just like a last week you were
just like.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't even think that shit exists anymore.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I think we are still around. King Cuisine is probably
not lunchables, yes, yeah, I think King Cuisine died.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Lunchibles still exists, and they're getting weird with it, just
like they. I think they put like a Luna bar
in there.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I think I swear I.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Saw the adult lunchable. They're making adult lunchables now for you, Joe,
that was just someone being nice to you. But it
just made your sarcuterie board and figured you needed some
extra cla.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
He needs a lunar bar.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
He looks pale.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Interesting doesn't have drugs in it.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Not.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I had think myself for that that was that was dingable.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It wasn't d it was very digna good there's a
bell that tells us when we don't like it.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's about it. I you know what if it's a
self thing though it's it's it's self referential, and that
means that we know that we're the ones who sucked up.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
It's like when the like uh, like the Japanese when
they just fucking stabbed themselves to death.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's our version of it's a Harry carry.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
It's the belly is our hard carry.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I love this.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I have shame of the podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
What was your What was your?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Did you ever do the cook kid cuisine?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Ben? Was that ever a thing for you? I was
a lunchables guy were doing that, and I'm realizing now
that was few and far between, but it's still one
of the most disappointing meals I'll ever have in your life.
Like as a kid, you'd be like, oh my god,
this is everything. That's got a ham wheel, it's got
a cheese piece, it's got crackers, and then couterie for.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Children, right sophisticated enough to get.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Charcoonterie enough to have charcuterie, so like to me, it's
all the same ship. But as a kid, you're like,
this is the best thing ever. Your parents hate you
because it's like eight dollars a little thing, right, and
then you eat it and it's like, okay, this is
bad and it's gone in literally two or three bites,
and I don't know now, I'm just real now I
have I still have microplastics from my day one, like lunchables, and.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Me for sure, that's that's never going away.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, that's they should You're right, they should take away
the plastic and serve it.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
On a little wooden board.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
They could.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'm like, sure, coonery is supposed to be served.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I bet there's I bet there's like a high end
like where they're like, it's not lunchables, it's lunch chet coonery.
And come here, Delilah, don't you want your you know, pepperonis?
I don't even know it's.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Don't you want your cup cola serve with served with
almonds and a nice breathe? Sorry, you know, we don't
you can tell. But none of us shop at bayer Leaves,
is really what that's all saying.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Right, now I think it's called juns. That's how you
say lunchables in French.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Okay, and then we're all no, no, it's all like
and wow, you have a natural French kind of accent voice.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
You should just speak French, just one word at a time,
though I can't do a whole sentence in French.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
And stay sexy and is so good you should see it.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Just fe like an art house film of Joe smoking
a cigarette and black and white and just saying CHARCOOTERI.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, or or I like him. I like him as
someone who's like, oh, medical, we're still dressed.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
He's still wearing a Twins cat and nothing changes about
his aesthetic at all.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
You can't change the box you just got.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
It's like it's it's like a Christmas gift. You think
you're getting a PlayStation five, but it's just sorry.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
The rides and socks it's made.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
He socks fuck you too, better than math.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Well, the socks of personality. Your friends are gonna it's
gonna grow on your friends. It's all fun.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
You're growing and you're you know, if you let me
clip your toenails a little more, your socks would last
a little longer.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Oh, you know what.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I tried to do that for a while because I
thought that was what was fucking up my socks.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I thought that was putting.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
I thought my sharp post nail cutting nails were fucking
up my socks and putting holes in the socks. It
turns out it's just people that make socks suck at
making socks.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
These days, no one knows and no one knows how
to darn anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are you saying it's planned socko lessons.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yes, Darred, they just want you to keep buying new socks. Dude,
there's a sock spears. There's a big Haynes conspiracy.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Okay, oh god.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
If you get Haynes made in like Gudamala, they don't
last as long as the Hanes that are made in Mexico.
There's different levels at Haines. Gotta watch where you're Yeah,
you gotta watch where you pay your Haines from. They
still have the label, same.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Label, but you gotta see in the little tag in
the bottom, like.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Where was Basically I haven't bought in Haynes since the
Hitler mustache in Great Hayes.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Wow, that's dedication, that's dedication. That was your original target.
You're like, whoa, whoa, I can't forever.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
That's too much D for me. You can't, you know,
you can't. You can't call that a chaplain.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
And and why has it someone everyone is using AI
to make fake everything?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
And why haven't we done Michael Jordan Haynes Hitler.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well he did that himself.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
I know, But why would we meet literally taking every
like like a like a History Channel Hitler documentary and
just putting Michael Jordan's Hitler face on there. Sure it's
and it's just that's a that's a thirty for thirty.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I mean that I would watch definitely way out in
thirty minutes to thirty hours of your time, that's for sure.
Gas is very true. But I will say, you know,
be the change you want to see in the world show.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
I guess, yeah, it's why haven't I done it?

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yes? Thank you? Thank you? Ben?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I need you as like a are you doing life
coaching now?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
For you? I would never even try, but oh yeah, yeah,
I'll do that. Your life and your life is so
you're so you're living your life in a way only
you could live it. That you don't need a coach,
you just need you just need an audience. That's all
you need. You know what? Thank you?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I like it's you know, like it's I'm not changing
the thing.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
I was just about to eat more kale and like
stop eating ice cream for breakfast.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Nope, all gas, no break We are just leading in this.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
All gas is what happens. And you only eat ice
cream and don't I can't just stop digest dairy very
about today. It's well, Ben, we don't just exist on
this podcast to talk about what gives cocozello gas, charcouterie
boards or kid cuisine. No, this is the this is

(11:11):
the awful service podcast. This is the podcast where we
talk about different jobs and the stories there within. The
very first segment of the podcast is only lovingly referred
to as the resume.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Show?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Why should we hire?

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I had a job? Right?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
You tell us all about.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yourself and your play some business.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
All my jobs be the shady pot.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Show us mad.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
All right, Ben, this is the resume section again, talk
about the jobs. You don't have to talk about all
of your jobs, but the ones you think have the
best stories and whatever one you want to start with.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Uh, first and foremost, it's crazy. You got the Beastie
boys to do that music for you? That's you get
that one a lot? Hear it? Shit? Fuck yeah, your
job is I'm a hack comedian. I should have said
like Asher Roth or something.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I mean, you love college well and I hate kids,
So keep me with from college because.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
You know, do you do colleges? You're like, you have
to be at least twenty four before I fuck with you.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
A master's degree or higher.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I want your brain fully developed before I even to
try to.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
I'm not gonna look you in the eyes until you're
a quarter of a century old.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's just all I'm thinking. That's all I want. Here,
will say, first job actually working for my dad. My
dad used to feel it who I will tell you
right now. I'll never work for him again because we
don't talk and we hate each other. But because of
this job? Was it because of the job? Yeah? The
benefits were trash. You're like, I.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Ever spoken to him since I was fourteen.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm like, hey, dude, if you don't pay me more,
I'm gonna leave. And he's like, you know what, I'm
gonna up you one. I'm just gonna leave the family
as a whole. So it's fine.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Oh he was the asshole I thought you walked off
the job site like fuck this, fuck you, fuck you,
fuck you, you're cool.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Fuck you. I'm out, like want walk off the job
site when your dad is the ride, you know what
I mean, It's like I'll get contesting. It's like, all right, well,
I guess I'm running over your protest because we're not
going anywhere. But yeah, well, he used to own a
landscaping business, so that was like the first thing. So truly,
I would say for me, it'd be mowing lawns. Was
probably my first job ever, like when I was in

(13:35):
Leid Elementary school early junior high. That's how we kind
of like made our money. He had a landscaping business,
but specifically I would be mowing like yards, like yards
for rich people or cemeteries. That would be pretty much
my exclusive job list. When I was in like summers
and stuff, I'd just be listening to like new metal
and like a Lutheran cemetery, just fucking up mind off

(14:00):
stone after the Death tones. Is that what you're saying? Like,
I mean, literally, yes, show that shove it.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I say, lacing eighty dollars flowers that I just manhandled
with push.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Well, you know what though, that uh that that look
from Corn was just so tasty that you couldn't see
the flowers there.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
I get it Corn so much.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
I would blind.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
They got me through a lot of rows of dead
people named Walter, you know, like for it really helped
me through a lot of stuff. Uh yeah, that was
like so that was Have you sent them an Instagram
message with that?

Speaker 4 (14:38):
You should instagram Corn and be like, dude, you thank
you guys.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I just want to like, I.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Caught in a lot of grass and cemeteries as a child,
and you guys were the thing that like helped me.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
I would be scared to do that because it's They
seem like the kind of band who has the time
to respond, you know, like music, Like they could definitely
go through their DMS and be like, h We're going
to talk to you buddy.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
You know, I always instagram the goofy of celebrities. What's
the goof of celebrity you instagram? Uh let's see. Uh
there's a there's a guy from mash that was from Minnesota,
Mike Farrell.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
He was he was the not Hawkeye, but the other guy.
I mean there's other guys. It was the other guy
kind of bald guy, handsome guy out Rainar was he It.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Was not Rainar, he was not he was he was Hawkeyes.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Pal, he was they, he was the other. Yeah, it's
he knows how to use it. He's so old.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
He's so old, and he's married to like the lady
from Coach. Oh, I had no idea. It's like, it's
I did I have Instagram.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
The DM So he's like, oh, I'm actually married. I'm
not gonna suck you up.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
So I'm just imagining Ben like Jonathan Davis. I hope
this message reached you.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Well. I think the members I like, I don't even
know if they're all still. I feel like the people
I like might be off or off like a Field.
He's not there.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I'm not fucking around with Corn anymore.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Man, tell me the bass slap that works good in
the bedroom things.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Where where's monkey?

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I need monkey? That's how you, that's how you you
play with a girl like, Oh, this is just for me, Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I was like, actually that might be a good move.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Some people call the six string bass actually.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Playing the you playing the p bass like you're jazzing. Uh. Yeah,
I've never DM Corn. Unfortunately, I think honestly nightmare blunt rotation.
I don't really want to hang out with them, but
I will terrible music do all more jobs.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Well, I think everyone, I think everyone in our age
did have a new metal phase though.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I think everyone were.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, I even kids now are into it, like people
kind of come back around.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
I just slipped shirts on kids who are like under twenty,
which is wild to me. It's because they sell.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
It's because they sell those T shirts and Walmart next
to the Who T shirts and the Metallica shirts.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's true. You're probably right, but like death Tones are
still around sill, that's it holds up more than all
the other stuff.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yes, because they were they weren't like trying to freaking
like we're gonna have twelve members and there's gonna be
two turntables, eight drummers and four guitarists.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, that's why I've listened. The holds up pretty well,
just relaxed, come down, I'll fight you doing them.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
I listened to all these bands, but like for me,
the most metal I ever got was that one Billy
Joel album Attila.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
You guys remember the Atilla, Like, well, Billy Joel did metal.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
No, I think this sounds like a fever dream you
had when you took the brown acid at Woodstock kids.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Okay, all right, it's pretty cool, dude, It's pretty It's
pretty dude.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, you want to know. Have you listened to the
Don't track to Oliver in Company? That ship is fucking rock, bro.
It was all like, honestly to me, you seem like
a like a damn like a Bruce Springsteen cord come
to life, you know what I mean? Like you got
a little like it's just like live. He's like, I've

(18:20):
lived a life here.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
He was always born to run.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, yeah, this is what he was running from. Is
you actually.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
I actually got I actually kind of retweet once from
West Borland was because they're putting on a new album
and I just put and West Boland had come back
to the band, and I'm like nature is healing and
that's all I put. And he retweeted that, and I'm like,
you know what, life will lived. He might be dead. No,

(18:48):
he's still He's still at the band.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
I only know this because I watched the Corey Feldman
thing about how he was touring with them Biscuit, and
like you could see Wes Borling, going like, where why
the fuck are we having this guy on tour?

Speaker 2 (19:00):
So Limp Biscuit another band that I would listen to
pretty religiously. I would say, well, I was out in
the summer or whatever cutting lawns. Who is also making
a resurgence. Maybe I should. Maybe this is my sign
that I need to get back into cutting lawns. I think,
not new metal, but cutting lines because I think these,
I mean, there are lawns that need to be cut.
I'm a struggling comedian, so obviously I could be doing

(19:23):
this and like if if it gets me an excuse
to listen to new metal, and now I don't have
like a bulky CD player, I could It's all right
on Spotify.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I could just do all this. I think they're for
the nostalgia. You still need to have the anti skip wh.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, you gotta have thirty seconds of pure anti skipness, jump.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Around, throwing some jinkos, start weed wagon and see what.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Happened you literally clipping gravestones to break something.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
I it's just one of those things.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Were you ruin someone else's day when you know what
I don't.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
I think the one the one thing is sk it
is bringing the chinkos back. Those were such an uncomfortable pant.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
But they're back. They're the big pants are back.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
So it's like I thought they were like medium sized
pants bag big ones.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
The big baggies are back.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's big like drinko. Drinkos were like.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
My open mic. Who wear them?

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, Jesus Cheese and Rice an old bad with them.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
We're back to are not We're back to not smelling
good history.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, we got stinky, big, big panted children running around
out there.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
You don't want to have got to children and I
don't that.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You You you know more about the kids than I do.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
And you hate them, Well, you got to know your enemy. Yeah,
you know.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Good good also good new metal song. Anyway, So when
did you go up to stuff one lawns and hate it?
You know? Your your your your the situation with your pops.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
First real job, I would say was, uh, McDonald's. I
worked at McDonald's in Avon, Minnesota. Oh no, it was
way Park. It was said Cloud Area, that's like five
blocks from my It was that same McDonald's still there,
still rocking still. It was one of the classier ones,
I will say, And it wasn't as busy as some

(21:17):
of the other ones, So it was perfect for someone
who did not want to work and was also bad
at working.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
So you know that tradition carries on at that McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
I believe that it's in the training video. Yeah, they're like, hey,
if you're bad at pretty much everything and you want
to be bad at this, you're in the right place.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
Welcome to this particular McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
It was one of those jobs where like it was
so weird. It was like a bunch of people I'd
never met before because it was a different city for me.
But also a random girl from my like elementary school
who was like she was like the bad girl that
I that we grew up with, and she had to
go to a different school, ended up being at that
same McDonald's and then was like more tenured than me.

(22:03):
So I had to like someone who I never she's
she's fine, she's cool, but like I remember just being like, whoa,
this is where the bad kids come to grow up.
I guess I'm a bed boy, you know, I understand
how she can be smoking cigarettes in sixth grade and
also a manager at the McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Actually, I think those two things correlate pretty Yeah, and
when you say when you say it, I'm actually I'm
picturing it pretty well.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, it's uh, I'm.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Pretty sure she got the rays outside of the McDonald's
by mc dumpster.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
The old man, the old GM they put on the pipeline.
Are you a child smoking cigarettes on our stoop? I
think you're gonna do great here. Actually? Uh, she was
one of those camels one hundreds. Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Now McDonald's was wild because like I never I didn't
work there super long, but like I never worked the register.
They had ever trained me on that. I was strictly
in the back kind of just fucking on people's orders,
like like a M chicken, no cheese, We're gonna put
cheese on it because I feel like artistically that's where
it should be. Right now, you know you're.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Doing it, Like actually, I think that the the pH
balance on this sandwich wuld be much better if you
had pickles.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, it'd be like you need to say yes chef
when you order this double snack wrap.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Okay, you know what, I wonder what happens if I
put like all pickles out here anyway, say anything?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
I don't know, Like, let's see if that's the thing
is like, because it's so corporate, I wish I would
have had a lesser, like, you know, like not a chain,
because it's so corporate. You can't let your artistry shine,
you can't let your creativity out. It's all just like, oh, okay,
I'm gonna put six nuggets in this order for a
six nugget six piece nuggeting. It's like, well, what if
I put eight in there and then make a kid's day?

(23:48):
Then they're like, oh, you're gonna get written up because
the company is gonna go under and you're an asshole
or whatever, you know what I mean. Like it was
too that's my problem with McDonald's was too handcuffed me.
It was golden handcuffs.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I was like, yeah, golden, the golden nick handcuffs.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah. Yeah, that's what I got in my happy meals
was golden handcuffs.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Okay. Then actually ended up in that kid jail that
they used to have outside of the play places, you
know what I mean, in the Hamburger. You know what
I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
You know, dude, it's and then and and and then.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
You you were completely right and McDonald's was wrong because
you were putting randomly eight nuggets in a six nugget
thing would have blown kids minds.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
People know how much that makes your day. If you
could ask the fries, think about how happy you are,
right dude?

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Sometimes when I go eat it burging and they give
me like, there's some fries in my onion rings.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Oh I love that. I did want. I did want
a couple of French fries. Yeah, And and honestly what
happened was someone fell asleep at the fryar and just
was like, oh, oh yeah, sorry, I'm working, Like, oh sorry,
I'm not. I'm ham you gotta know the hair of
a dog. I'm gonna put some fries and were together

(24:59):
because I'm still over. That wasn't the past for the
boys I want.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, I was up all night listening to head Pe and.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
That was one of my favorite bands, truly one of
my favorite vands.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
You were just slowing lawns in cemeteries, whailing.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Out listening to Hay Bardsender.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I guess and you're jo Were you a Jingo kid?
But not not for work like that. That was more
school ship, you know, Yeah, the fancy mud vein shirt
school with the long jinko whatever when I'm when I'm
when I'm in the when I'm in the fields. Brother,
I'm when I'm when I'm in the rose and I'm

(25:42):
deep in it. I'm wearing the shittiest shoes and pants
because you know, you get yeah, you know what I
mess up Your Kennedy goes out the window when you're
when you're mowing cemetery plots.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
But the bottom of those jeans always got tattered anyway.
You don't need to like add insult to in you
by like giving them grass staines.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
True, the last thing you want is a bunch of
grass stains on your knees, as like a junior high kid,
because oh, how'd you get those? And like, oh, I
got uh, you're right, a teacher molested me or whatever.
You know, Like you don't want to be the people.
You don't want to be involved in anything. I want
to stay out of all the dramas. So did you
have the same problem? And I did, is were you
chebvy kid?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Then?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Were you a bigger kid? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:24):
So like so there's a weird thing about the back
kids wearing those, but it just didn't quite have the
same effect as when they're like jeans.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
It wasn't quite the same, It didn't have the same effect.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Were still still bigger than the ankles tied everywhere else.
You know that you wore those like LEVI five twelves.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah, yeah, my thighs aren't rubbing against these. This is nice.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
It's when I was in the fields, brother, like just
you with your green shoes and your green ankle pants.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Like I thought I could make in the field the
thing I thought maybe was the thing we could all say.
But I guess maybe not.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
You're in the cemetery, just amaze sing grace just.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
He wasn't singing that. He was myself power man five
thousand guy.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Bitch when the Light and Life and Death colde he
was listening to the hard and heavy mix. Okay, yeah, dude,
I should be weird. I think about this a lot
like mold cemeteries. I should be into. I don't know.
Oh yeah, I should have said, I should have started there. Yeah, mascara,

(27:40):
I meant is what I meant to say.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Talk about different job. Unless there's anything from the McDonald's
day that you still remember other than the he didn't.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
My favorite thing about the McDonald's thing was that I
went on a lead. I didn't quit. I went on
a leave of absence. I was like, hey, football season
is coming around. I'm a sophomore. They're gonna need me,
so I can't be working here anymore, right, and then
uh just went on a leave of absence. So in
my opinion, I technically could still go back to that

(28:08):
Sam McDonald's and be like, hey, I am now back
and I am ready to work, and honestly I might
need to Can we do this? I will get a
camera crew. Yeah, well, Willie Madison, but yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
It's a back baby leave of absence over as of now.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, they love me work the register yet or no,
go in the back.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Makes your six nuggets, six fucking nuggets that we remember.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's still on your record.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
They still have like an old paper record file and
there's a couple of.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Write ups like you got you are on your last leg.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Travis Scott has like a you know he's got like
the Travis Scott me or I don't know, make the
stylet has a meal. My meal would be like six nuggets.
Four of them were dropped on the floor. The box
is a little bit wet for some reason, and then
it's not enough French fries that would be the Bencatster.
Also wrong, saw us definitely wrong.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Song you you asked for You as a sweet and
Sour's barbecue in there.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
And it's a little open because I had to taste
it to make.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Sure it still fresh.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Is it's still good?

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, it's just it's just twenty year old Seshwan sauce.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
I wish I would come on. There's enough preservatives in
it that it's still it's good as long as it
hasn't been in the heat. I think we're I think
we're good. If it's been sitting in a McDonald's schooler
for twenty years and they just didn't notice that one
in the back it got kicked under the shelf.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I think you want the sauce room tempt. I don't
think you want it in the someonime.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
The cooler actually seems like it would make it worse.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
I'm just saying, twenty years in the cooler is better
than twenty years under a table in a McDonald's. And
they're like remodeling the McDonald's addling the place. Yeah, it's like, oh, cramp,
there's a Sashworp sauce in here, and like they sell
it on eBay and.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
I'm I'm a guy that would buy that?

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Okay, would I would buy an unopened seshwap sauce.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
There's one sucker on the podcast I.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Did, and that is me sometimes Yes, so we got
I wouldn't write on sheen for.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Team Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
So Ben, when you got done loving it, where did you?
Where did you go to that?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I okay, I was thinking about this. I don't know
that I had another job until like college. On the side,
I tried to get other jobs and I couldn't, Like
I just wouldn't. It wasn't happening.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
We talked to your old manager at McDonald's and it
says you're still employed there.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah. They were scaring off all the competition, like you
can't work in this grocery store. He's uh, he belongs
to us. Maybe I was a junior. I think maybe
I was. It was the summer of my sophomore year.
Maybe going into my junior year I worked there. And
then I don't think I had really any steady jobs
outside of like landscape and ship.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
With because you were crushing football, right, because that was
away from me. You broke your mcshackles and walked away.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
From I can't here to do two things, tackle quarterbacks
and listen to incubus and I'm all out of incubist.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Oh buddy, we never run out of incubus. What are
you talking about? So yeah, I was mostly like a sport.
So my parents were like, if you're gonna play sports,
you don't have to Like, if you have money saved,
that's great. If you're gonna play sports, that's fine, we'll
help you, will take care of you for that part.
But if you don't play a sport, then you got
to go get a job.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Right.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
So I'm like BADMINTONU.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Badon High School has badminton, Joe, I would have loved that.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I would be so prepared for pickleball and I'd be
a pro pickaballer. Now, if I play Badmanton High School,
you got a job in college. Yeah. So college is
probably my first time getting like a real thing. And
I worked for a these start to get less like
fun and Losory, But I worked for a journalism summer camp,

(31:58):
so like all these kids would come in and learn
about journalism. I did that for a few summers and
like a lot of these kids actually like if I
look at the news now, like you'll be oh, I
remember this person. That's what I was going to say,
Is there ready?

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yes, it was a journalist summer camp.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
It was four kids who were into journalism and mass
media and like that sort of thing, Hey, what what
cabin are you?

Speaker 3 (32:22):
And I'm in current kite.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I got ted Copple. Yeah. So basically what we did
was we doom these kids' future, you know, because I
was a journalism community communications major in college and I
remember one of the first classes I ever took them
being like journalism as we know it is dying, and
that was like, you know, the early mid two thousands

(32:46):
or whatever. So whatever we did to these kids, some
of them were working with the rest of them. I'm
sure I tried to get a job at the save
McDonald's that I worked at, so I apologize to those children.
But that was like the main thing that was kind
of fun because it was like my first time being
it was a good It was a good uh microcosm
of what life is is where you're technically older than

(33:08):
people so they consider you in charge, but you actually
have no idea what's going on. So there's a lot
of me just being like, yeah, we're supposed to go here,
buckle up, let's go, and like me just taking kids places,
me checking people into their rooms or not giving a
ship me like moditoring classes aka falling asleep because I

(33:28):
was hungover from the night before.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
What goes on in journalism summer camp? Is there still canoeing,
A lot of still traditional, it's a lot of Yeah,
it's it's a bunch of diddling.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I assume, well, no, we shine a light on the diddling,
so we stop it. Were would you say the articles?

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Would you say there was an expos Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly,
That's exactly what I'd say.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
So what they would do, honestly, they would they would
have currently working journalists bring them in and then they
would teach classes over the course of like a couple
of weeks or a month or so to these kids.
So there were like two different types of camps. There
was like a like maybe week long intensive like should

(34:13):
you stay over night on the campus type thing, I think,
and then there was a separate one that was a
little bit more like all summer long and it's like Okay,
you're gonna come up with a paper, you're gonna come
up with like a video babblah blah blah blah, that
sort of thing. It stilled three sixty. It was awesome.
I think it's still around now and I think it
is actually a really good resource and I'm glad that exists.
It's crazy that I got to do it and it

(34:36):
did help me. It did save my ass in college.
For like nights, I hate all the news.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
I would totally read that summer camp news if they
if the kids produced a fucking regular paper, I would
read it.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
But it wasn't about what was going It was what's
funny is like Yo. They were like, Yo, this is
what's fucked up in my neighbor It wasn't like Jill.
They were like, Yo, the cops are fucking people up
in my neighborhood. Like this, this systemic racism is clearly
an issue in the Saint Paul school system. It wasn't
like we had Pp and j this weekend.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
It was like you're sitting there like, uh, this is
supposed to be fun, fun guys, but okay.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
It's check out everybody. I mean to be fair.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
If Joe's accounts there, he would address like Kermit the
frog from Sesame Street.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Sure, don't you guys want to talk about badminton.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
I'm also I've never been least surprised by someone who's like, yeah,
I don't like any of the news. I'm like, I
know you didn't have to say, we got you, buddy.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
I literally I all I do. Like I read the news,
I feel sad. I watch a little like cat and
dog videos. I feel better, and now I could go
through my life. It's like, it's I just need to
take away the news and just watch the dog and
camp videos and then I'd be doing delightful.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
I'm up here, kids, would you It'd be like, okay,
so we found someone who doesn't like the news but
likes dogs and cats. What we're gonna do is mix
the two things. We're gonna give you dogs and cats
giving you the news. So it's a nice little tabby
being like today a man was innocent, an innocent man
was gunned down by police sixteen miles or whatever, you know,

(36:24):
like okay, but like by a cat.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
There was a there was a tsunami and guantal lumpur,
but seven Golden Retreaters survived.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Seven barks for that. Yeah, hello, I'm jung Back.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
I Apollo that this is nbr uh.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, so it was like a weird It was cool.
It was very cool to connected with them. People got
jobs out of it. Those kids ruled. I would say
even I got some opportunities maybe out of it, but
I was not should not have been a thing I was.
But that was like my college job for all all
of college.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Just being journalists camp do good? You have like the chance,
like can't like normal summer.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Camps journalists adjacent willn't. I couldn't even call myself a journalist,
like I worked for the school newspaper and stuff. But
I was like, you know, I played football in college
and then did newspaper stuff and then did that and
that was pretty much. Those were my only like extra curricula.
I never volunteered outside of that. I never I wasn't
even volunteering because I got paid to do it. But

(37:28):
use your name? Do we have a ghost writer name? No?
I like, I like writing about the mafia. You know,
I didn't have to change my name.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Well just since you weren't.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
You were like non chalant about you're like I got
didn't give a shit about this writing thing.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
It was all about football.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
It's an expos and why the ice cream machines never
worked at Bencatzner.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Uh, they worked. Okay, we've paid a lot of money
at that school to make sure that shit worked, I
will say, so, I will say for my personal so
like a job I guess I did have as a
journal on the list in college working for the school newspaper.
One of my last stories ever, which conflict of interest,
but was about our football team, and it was like

(38:11):
the season was over. It was a season recap. It
was like a good year for us. Our team generally sucked.
We got a new coach. New coach kind of turned
it around in two years. And then I wrote this
big thing being like, oh, you know, the team's on
the right track whatever. And then I remember I got
our record wrong and my coach called me out in
front of everybody for it, and I was like, fuck.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Not enough games or too many games?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
One I think it was not enough games or too
many games lost. I can't remember it, okay, but it
was definitely like a team meeting, being like, oh, Ben
Caster wrote this article, couldn't get the record right though,
or something like that, where I was just like, you
know what, if I was a stronger man, I'd kill
you right now.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
But that's hilarious because he started with the Ben wrote
this article about us.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, right, I should have been like, you know what, sir,
you could file correction just like anybody else you'll respect
as a journalist.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
And the team meeting is not the place to get
that fixed it, so you guys set it into them.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
It would actually be really funny the next article you
actually have the correction put in there.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I think I probably left school because I think I
was like a senior by that time. So that was
like the that was the last part of once. Once
spring came, I was like, I'm free. I don't have
to do football stuff. I'm not. I think I still
wrote for the paper or whatever. But then I was
like now it's like, oh, I need to get a
real job, like I need to actually go to the workforce,

(39:40):
and I have learned very little skills to do this,
so I was more worried about that. I think the
division football. Were you playing Division three, which is the
lowest possible, you might as well. It's it's like high school.
Plus you know it's like, yeah, you're playing on a
football team and that's great, but also like you're going
to up against a kid who's like, I'm just doing this.

(40:02):
So when I put on my resume for grad school
that I had an extra curricular you know what I mean.
Like kids are like dentists and ship They're not like
trying to go to a league or any at best.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
The best players in D three just own rural car dealerships.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
The best players in D three got bumped up to
D two.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Or D one. I go, I was kidding. Here's what
I will say. I do to a couple of people
who have had tryouts with like NFL teams and stuff
as their water boys, and they've done great. I think
they've all done fine.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
When you said that, immediately started thinking of that episode
of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Don't try out for
the Pies.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
Yeah, if somebody opened their mouth, you score water in it,
you're hired.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
There was a whole show Blue Mountain State is about
Division III football, I think, and in my mind, I'm like,
this actually is a very it is hilarious. It's like
genuinely kind of wild that this exists because it so
now the school I went to is Division one, so
they have to it's a little more whatever real, I guess,

(41:15):
but like you put in a lot of work. But
it's almost like it's almost like you know, people play
amateur baseball and they're like, all right, you're thirty seven
and you're the you're the backup third baseman. What are
we doing here? That's what Division three football is. It's
like you're paying Okay, you go to the University of
Saint John's or Saint Thomas or something. You're paying forty
five thousand dollars a year to be one of one

(41:37):
hundred and twenty kids on a team that like at
best is like if you go to a if you
go to the Saint John's or Saint Thomas, you might
have one game a year where you get to play
in front of the maybe like ten thousand people. But
other than that, it's like truly some of the worst
games you'll ever play.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
And you're like, like he maybe Thomas or Saint John's,
those are those who played the Tommy's Yes.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
So like you'll you'll you'd be going to games sometimes
and you could tell people were like upset to like,
oh there's a football game. We were gonna play soccer today,
you know, like you were just doing there are so
many saturdays where you were in the way of other people.
But that was like technically in my job.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Too, because he's fucking up an ultimate Frisby game.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Yeah damn it, dude. You know sometimes you gotta ball
out dog Like you know, Frisbee always be there, but
Division three football should not be there long, you know
it should it will be.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Guys, they're blowing you out.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Can we just take over? Can you guys just give.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Up so many to bust my scuba over here? Come on,
let's do it.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (42:37):
If I had a kid, if I had let them
do Division three football, I'd be like, just go go
play in a flag football league, you know what I mean,
Like you'll save so much money and like, I don't know,
it's actually kind of weird now that I think about it.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
It's not worth the cte's your kid.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
If you play Division III football, you also have to
mowl ons in cemeteries.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah. No, I would be like, Okay, here's the thing.
You're playing Division III football, but really you're learning. You're
practicing to be an accountant. Okay, that's what it's about.
Like you are going to football practice, but you're gonna
meet other peoples whose dad, whose parents have firms or whatever,
and you're gonna you're gonna network. Okay, I don't care
if you play one down, but if you don't come

(43:19):
back with five business cards after every game, we are
gonna have a problem.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
I'm gonna be at least full referrals at the end
of the CV.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Yeah, yeah, I knew to say, hey, buddy, I was practice, like, oh,
I had six tackles and I threw a touchdown and
it was crazy. I caught a touchdown. I was quite
all over. I'm like, no, no, no, let's see your CV, buddy.
I need to make sure that you're working on what's important.
I have no son.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Where did you. Let's talk about some more adult the
adult bend jobs.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Sure, adult bad jobs. I made the adult terrible decision
to immediately because it's all I really knew get into
journalism after college.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
So I file me.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Yeah, I bet I could still find some of these emails.
I was just writing emails to the most random places
and just getting you ever been rejected from a place
in like Temecula, you know, and you're like, wow, I'm
not even good enough for a place I didn't know existed.
Before Google, you know what I mean, Like, I don't
know where you are on a map, and you rejected me,
right exactly like I had to. I had to work

(44:22):
so hard just to find a way to tell me,
for you to tell me that I'm not good enough
for your shitty job. Right. So it was a lot
of like sending out runs and that was locally like
around Minnesota, and that was like I was like, oh,
maybe I'll go to California, maybe I'll go to New York.
And then they're all like, look, buddy, we don't want
you know what, we don't want that.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
You know, you rejected from the borsch Belt.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Honestly, that's honestly what And that's what comedy feels like.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Now, sorry, your resume of journalism summer camp.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Isn't quite just stuff. It was a Washington Post.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
And that's so funny, is like you do send that out.
You do go like, well, I've seen the New York
Times is hard, and it's like, well, I was a
B plus student at the University of Saint Thomas and
I was in their journalism program, so I should give
it a shot, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (45:12):
You should have really, like, I think that all right,
So maybe you're not New York.

Speaker 4 (45:17):
Daily news material, right, but I know the Post would totally.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
The posts.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Like those are my favorite.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
I love reading because they would always have the front
would be uh, like the news, and then the back
page would be sports would be the head so they'd have.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Almost two covers.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
It would be the front page was the headline, but
they'd always do sassy sports.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Yeah. I could work for the Post. I could write
like live tard and mayor fox us all again or something.
Or I could be like we should kill the cornerback
for the Giants.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
You could have, but then the Post say like, hey,
we talked to your old manager at McDonald's and especially
here you're still employed.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
We can't. We want to hire you and compete. That's
your six not specials so much. Go back, go back
to Baggie.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yes, actually McDonald's was a non compete with us. It's
really weird.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
It's like, how like for Disney there's a woman who's
like husband died or something on a ride. Yes, and
then they said they weren't they weren't liable because they
signed up for Disney. Plus. Yeah, that's what working on
McDonald's is. It's like, oh, that's a real story.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Because yeah, because this gal they had signed up for
Disney Plus and she died in the theme park. And
it's in some weird rea you know, it's like that
real boilerplate ship. You know, you have to read and
you have to click, you have to accept this, and
you read it and it's like literally says like anything
that happens to you at a Disney park is not
it's yeah. Now some lawyers have got like the lawyers
actually for that case, they're like, uh no, that doesn't

(46:53):
you can't play that. They cannot possibly even even while
Disney lawyers are conceded like we probably couldn't do that.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Though, right, it's I mean, why not if you're Disney,
because like that's like the worst thing that can happen, right,
Like someone guys on a ride and.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
It's not really like it's like it's Disney's faulty.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
The worst thing that could happen if you work in
Disney is that you make work any less than you
did the year before. That's the worst thing that could
happen at Disney.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
I was actually gonna say somewhere, have you ever been
on the Small World ride?

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Joe?

Speaker 2 (47:29):
That's the worst thing that happens that Disney what's done
on the teacups.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
The tea cups are great.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
The tea cups are good. If you go to the
It's a.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Small World Ride, it's like, hey, do you want to
see what nineteen fifty stereotypes look like? Go to the
It's a Small World Ride.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Oh, really great place to get a hand job, very much. Dude,
you know what's such a small world?

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Ben?

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Though? Yeah, not everything smallness world.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
I just thank you. I just added something on my
bucket list. I like that is definitely. That's right after uh.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
The two days someone on the tea.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Cups, I say, give me one other thing on your
bucket list. I want to know what Cocazella's bucket.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Dude, I want a Civil Warrior Act so bad.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Oh, I thought, okay, I'm glad you said re enact.
After that, I got a work. Oh shit, I didn't
know it was this kind of podcast. I did.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
I want to fire off some cannons, bro, just.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
In a park.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
We are we are half saint cloud based bench. You
should understand why that would actually try.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Yeah, that's a little bit of that vibe. I get that.
That's good fun.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
So you did actually work for the the now kind
of defunct Saint Cloud Times.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Right, I did work for the defunct Saint Cloud Time.
So here. So my first real post college job was
freelance writer for the Albany Enterprise, which is where I
grew up on Albany, Minnesota. Mike Cossack, a guy who
was still there. Shout out to Mike Cossack, gave me
my first gig and it was like, you know, just
doing like a honestly, it was a pretty fun story
about a good football player from my area or whatever.

(48:56):
And then I use that leverage of one story from
a small tom newspaper to do freelance for the Saint
Cloud Times, and then through that, through a little bit
of freelance from them, they were like, hey, we have
a position open. You seem like the kind of guy
who likes making seventeen thousand dollars a year. Would you

(49:18):
want to apply for it? And I said, oh, gee, golly,
seventeen thousand dollars a year. That's that's more than McDonald's
could ever possibly offer me, which is wrong, and I,
uh so, yeah, I started working for the Saint Cloud Times,
and I was the night it was like weekend event coverage,
sport coverage, and then like nights sometimes. So it was

(49:41):
that job was one of the most this period of
my life. I almost feel like I blacked out. I
feel like I was a different guy. Like I would
cover like turtle races on a Saturday morning, and then
like Saturday night there would be like a car crash,
and like a car would crashed into a house and
there'd be like a house and I have to go
and talk to the people there. Be're like, so, you know,

(50:04):
you get the question just mixed up. You're like, so,
girdle the turtle is that? Like, oh no, sorry, ter crash,
Sorry my bad. It was very conflicted. It was a
very interesting job. I remember one time there was a
there was a police okay, so there was a police

(50:25):
involved shooting, all right, and then the alleged shooter was
eventually arrested. I covered the shooting. The alleged shooter was
eventually arrested, and his first call from jail was the
same Club Times newsroom on a Sunday morning, a place
where I was the only person working as me and
a photographer, and a photographer was out and I was just

(50:49):
violently hungover talking to a guy about how he was like,
I didn't go out. You're old, liable. Everything you write
about me, I'm soon you're And then via these two stories,
I had like nationwide news outlets calling our department being like, hey,

(51:09):
can we talk to the guy who talked to the
alleged cop killer. It seems like he because I got
like an exclusive, which is crazy because I was like,
I was up until four in the morning. I shouldn't
be responsible for anything I did.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
I was at the press last night. Do you understand me?
I was at a he gets out of jail and.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
That was you. You're so you're so close to being
right where maybe we started out the press, but we
were classing. We were at dB Searles. Okay, that's I'm sorry.
Shout out to Searles.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
I love that he called you and got the happened
to get the guy that wrote.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
The article about him was he was? He like, fuck
that Ben Caster, that Ben Caster, And you're like, well,
my name is Sean, but I.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Hold yeah, that Ben guy sounds terrible.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Actually, this car wreck Ben's dead, so don't worry about
murdering back.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
You hate the incredible McDonald's employee Ben Katzer that's crazy. Yeah.
That was like one of those things where you're just like,
this is surreal. This is how random news can be.
Is that he just called at the right time, and
this it could have been a career. I was too
afraid to take any of those. I really did not
want to go on Fox News and have someone be like,

(52:32):
he's just grilling me about a thing that you know,
I'm like twenty four or something, twenty three, and I'm
just like, I don't think I should be on national
TV at this point. I don't think I should be
talking to anyone about this.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
I think it's fine Bill O'Reilly's just sitting there grilling
you about Yeah.

Speaker 5 (52:48):
You agree that he should have killed the cop. So
you're telling me that this Obama loving cop killer. Yeah,
I start craving liberal. That was one of.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
The bigger That was probably one of the bigger ones
I had. I know there was someone like, oh, I mean,
this is fucked up, but this is true. So one
of the stories I covered at that newspaper, I don't know,
maybe Doley you might remember this. Potentially there was well,
there was this woman named Mandy I don't know, Okay,
whatever her name is, Mandy Matula and she was murdered,

(53:22):
and then they were searching for her killer, and they
were searching for her, and then it turned so I
was covering that story and then the news broke that
the person who killed her, I'm just gonna say allegedly,
even though this is I'm pretty sure this is true.
The person who killed her allegedly was her boyfriend, who
was a dude I played football with. I'd seen naked before,

(53:47):
so I knew why I was so angry about everything. Yeah.
So there was just these weird, crazy coincidences that what
happened where you're just like, I don't even know, Like
you'd be like, is this a conflict of venture? His
name was ray Rice. No, Ray Rice is too much
of a coward to go through piece of shit. No, Yeah,

(54:11):
it's just like crazy stuff like that, or you would, Uh,
you guys are really unearthing some This is gonna be helpful.
I think this is maybe stuff I should be writing
about talking about. But I had there was a prostitution sting.
They did, like a ring and they caught a bunch
of people, and I'm going for her, being like, well,

(54:32):
who who in my family's gonna be? Which is my
dad going to be in there. It was like, you
know it whatever, right looking, And then I found the
guy who sold me, or who actually at the time
was giving me my car insurance, was busted in the prostitution. Right.
Do you think his rates went up after?

Speaker 3 (54:51):
What year was that?

Speaker 2 (54:55):
That might have been probably like twenty fourt team to
twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
I used to wait on the people who were the
head of the ring at Famous Stags in Saint Cloud.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Okay, I'm sorry, Just it's a weird. That's a weird
that I love that. I have a lot of stays
just going here. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
That's just it's just it's crazy because I remember they
used to come in. They would ball out too. They
would just they would get everything and they would spend
They were, strangely enough, they'd they were good tippers and
they were.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
They just throw up a ball one hundred dollars, like
one hundred dollars and ones and covered and comment you
and be like, wow, this is good. I can't believe
what do you guys do for work?

Speaker 3 (55:35):
To be to be fair, we did have a lot
of the dancers from Sugar Daddy's also used to like
to eat it famous days. Some kind of used to
sweaty ones.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
I love that. Yeah. Here's the thing about Sugar dadd
Is in Saint Cloud, which I feel like they still
have that sign up there where it's like where what
is it Like, it's like congratulations class of they'd say
like twenty twenty five were firing or something.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Yes, every every spring they have a congratulations class of something.
We're hiring.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Yep, classiest SI you could possibly have.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
The nicest. It's the nicest pole barn to see stretch
marks and see section scars.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
And what I will say is I went the last
time I ever went there. Two two crucial things happen. One,
I went there with someone and he recognized a girl
from high school and they just had a full on conversation.
They were just like, hey, are you bad, Let's go
I'm too pretty good, too pretty good.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Let me just grab this pilot ones over.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Here and we'll just and I was like bending over
slapping her ass, like oh that's your mom.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Yeah, so that was oh yeah, it's just like just
doing the big V with the lex and just like, oh.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Yeah, so have you seen Terry? I saw him.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I saw him last week. He's And then because this is,
you know, a podcast called job I thought. I genuinely
was like, I think I would be a good show
club DJ. I think that would be a good path
for me and I journalists were really paying that well.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
Was on the resume. I Yeah, I think I'd be
good at this job because I did a journalism summer camp.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
When you when you live in Saint Cloud, you're kind
of like, yeah, I think I would be good at
anything that happens here. I think I could do respectfully.
I don't mean that disrespectfully, don't anything. It feels like
out of here all the time. I mean they're like, yeah,
I could probably be mayor who gives a ship? I've
had I have had that thought.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
I'd come up to Saint Cloud like three times a
year and I'm like, you know what, I think.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
I could work in this old ass.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
Mall, old ass mall that I love Crossroads Crossroads, which,
by the way, that is the best name for a
dying mall.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Yeah, they thought their first name was Purgatory, but they
let it go two on the nose.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Yeah, But actually Saint Cloud is the type of place
where I can afford a house.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Hey, and there's there's no knocking.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
That all right, I'm a homeowner as a bartender in
comics there.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
It's it's one of those places where you're like, yeah,
I feel like I'm I'm borderline invincible here and I
can do whatever I want. And then you know, you
get stabbed outside of the bar.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
But I know the guy who happens, Yeah, I got
shot outside of guess what, I want a story about him?
So James, Yeah, James Snow is my friend. Yeah. Yeah,
we all were friends in the industry, because you know,
all bartenders are friends. Yeah. And I actually worked with
one of the gals who was a bartender at the

(58:44):
Press that night, who actually was there. And I also
somehow worked with one of the girls who that guy
who shot them was trying to underage girls. He's trying
to sneak in to the club.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Could you imagine going to fucking prison over sneaking in
underage rolls the cress. That's crazy, bro, what are you
in for? Just pure stupidity. Honestly, I got to it.
It was it was always was okay, so at Sugar Daddies,

(59:19):
this this is this job didn't happen, but this is
my this is my big Like what if I think
about this a lot. I'm like, So, we were there
and I went up to the DJ and I was
like yo, or I went up to somebody there and
I was like, yo, I want to DJ. Oh you DJ?
And I was like hell yeah, DJ. I do not DJ.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
But I was like, hell, hey, it is Saint Cloud
and you are black. So they're like, oh, he has
to DJ. He's definitely right, and they were.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Like, come back tomorrow at noon. Talked to you know
whatever his name was, Gary or whatever the fu and
then like, well, well we'll we'll talk. And I I
contemplated that more than any job offer I've ever gotten
in my entire life, more than any career path where
I was like, if I do this, I'm a different guy.

(01:00:03):
Now all right, I'm not Ben. I'm like big big Ben.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:00:08):
I'm a different I gotta have a mom. Got big
be on be On the ones and the twos. It's
two big one Black Dance specials. Now coming to the
stage is Veronica And I'm like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
You know, if you work at this club, you're responsible
for these girls. Are you ready for that responsibility? It's
not just the music, it's a lifestyle. You know, like
I'm really talking myself out of it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
Everybody can suck my big clock.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
I'm Big Ben because you know what, it's always the time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Yeah, I always got time. That's good. Actually, if I stripped,
that might be. I used to go my stripper name
was gonna be black Hole because you get too close
to me, I'll destroy you. But Big Ben is a
good second come out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
And it's just it's just the song is God Saved
the Queen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
It doesn't matter what the song is.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
Well, is there any other stories from your your careers
that they really stick out?

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
I mean, I know we've onearthed a few things, but yeah,
this is therapy because I'm like, I gotta get a
I gotta get a session.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
This is literal, literal therapy for a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
This is crazy. So after that, after the journalism path,
that during the newspaper stuff, I started writing a little more,
uh non journalistically, and through that started getting into like,
oh maybe I'll try stand up whatever. So my next
technically I guess next freelance job or contractor job was

(01:01:43):
comedian uh at And one of my first jobs would
have been at rum Runners in Sant Cloud, which I
know you remember, Yeah, why was it a MC there
for a little while. Okay, do you remember this guy parent?

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
I replaced Paren for for a year.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
That's incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
Okay, so that's how I started stand up in Like,
so I started.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
We can go into this was like, dude, I'm pretty
sure I worked runners to back in the day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
I'm sure he did. Yeah, after a lot of Paren.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Had a leather coat that he had owned since the
nineteen seventies and he never changed and he also never
changes act from the nineteen seventies because he was the
He was there when it was First Street Station, he
was there when it was whatever it was before that,
because they had a comedy club in that room since
the seventies. Oh, I was he had been like the
late seventies and he had been like a young guy,

(01:02:32):
had been the house MC there for three decades.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
And then in two thousand and when I was there,
it was in two thousand and six, twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:02:42):
I want to say, I used to god, he get
caught up in the prostitution ring. No, he was. That's
why you replaced him. I didn't worry for a big
kid na.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
That's actually kind of accurate. Uh No, the impression, not
him going the prostitution, but.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
I used to.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
So we used to you know, you know, you know
they used to paper that room right then, like they
would like because Jamie Dickman, who was the owner, they
used to do the free jello shots your birthday month
and they would be trays with the free with looks.
So my friends and I would all go and we
would take those from the and like we would have stacks,
so we would bring because you know, when you're in
your twenties in college, you have forty friends. So we

(01:03:22):
would go and we'd go to Stand Up on Friday
nights and we'd hang out with the comics and we
would you know, wear those assholes like Wet Brother comics
some shots afterwards. In most comics were degenerates who are like, yeah,
free boots cool you read the room. Yeah, So we
we were doing that and I would hang out with
other comics and I mean I cracked the joke to
one of the comics and he looks over at Jamie's like,
should get this guy stage time?

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Oh nice?

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
So I started actually when Parrien was still there, and
I started doing guest sets, and then it became then
parent I was doing it. I was coming there probably
every week actually for a while, doing like three and
five minute sets. Yeah, and this is like in the
mid two thousands. And then, uh, John Mott was the
other guy who was there, and it was the two
of us took over, Like so John had took over

(01:04:06):
because parents like I'm going to retire, I'm done with comedy, okay,
And then and then yeah, so I was actually before
I had ever touched an open mic. I was actually
doing comedy at rum Runners in my early twenties.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Wow, that's incredible. I love that. Yeah, that's kind of
what it was. I don't know if he so I
think I started comedy, like maybe like really got on
stage for the first time, maybe like twenty thirteen now
that I think about it, maybe twenty fourteen, I whatever,
something like that. So he was literally there maybe one
time and then was done and then it was like

(01:04:43):
you do it, basically, I feel like, I don't know.
I guess we never crossed baths, So I don't know
why what was happening.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
But I lost my I lost my job and I
I got paid for stuff and I was broke and
then the club shut down.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
So maybe yeah, so I don't know how.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
A parent took it back because so after like John
and I had done it for a while, he was like,
you know what, I'm going to come back.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
That's what it was.

Speaker 3 (01:05:02):
Then, okay, Joe, just to give you a sample of
what this guy would do, he would came back with
the same old stick exactly. So this is his favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
This is his favorite joke.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
You're like, so, well, where where you folks from?

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
Where are you from?

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
Like, I'm from Foley. I'm sorry, I'm from Poley. No
I heard you. I'm just sorry. Yes, And then I
went to a wedding in Foley. You know they were
registered at Fleet Farm.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
That was Yeah. Every week. I knew I could still
probably recite his act because I used to watch it
so much.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Big West Hendy young man. That's awesome. I remember him.
He was like working on a script of some sort too.
I feel like he had some big script. You never
would but that that was what. So I started doing
that and then eventually, like I was uh, twenty yeah,
probably twenty fourteen is when I moved to the Twin
Cities to like pursue comedy a little bit more. But

(01:05:53):
while I was doing comedy, in Minneapolis. I was working
for the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, which was insane.
I was I went for being just this idiot journalist
to like literally working on like policy and stuff people
and then also like you know, doing open mics and
shit at night and just being like, I don't know,

(01:06:14):
I don't know, I don't know. I think it's either
a comedy or work for the government. I made the
wrong choice. But yeah, so those were That was kind
of like a roundabout way to eventually get me more
into comedy I knew I wanted. I moved to Minneapolis
with the idea that I was going to do more comedy,
and then I was like, I guess I'll just get
like a shitty job. And then the job I got

(01:06:36):
was like the best one I'd ever had up until
that point, with an insane boss. But the department was school.
I worked with a bunch of attorneys who are also
just drunken, horny animals, and then the commissioner of the department,
Kevin Lindsay, he ruled. I met some awesome people, but
eventually I was like, you know what, I don't wanna

(01:06:57):
I don't want to solve injustice. I don't want to
help people. I want to be a mid level stand
up comedian who can headline in some rooms. I'm doing that,
So I feel good about that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
About to say, I mean, it was pretty close between
that path and being a strip club DJ. Pretty similar.

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Actually, honestly, strip clump DJ has probably more longevity instability.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
I wish I would have strip lub DJ wouldn't have
got shut down by Doge.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
That's true. That's true. I could be a strip up
DJ during the pandemic. Still, yeah, you're.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Doing the lord's work. You're a frontline employee. That's here
comes Candy Gosh, so different.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
I we move on.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
I need to know back in the your journalist days
for the Saint Cloud Times there did the guy kill
the cop?

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
No, I think it was someone he was.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Like, uh, the cop Harry carried him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Know, it's bazy. I forgot how this ends, but I
think it was. It was like it was someone else
was that he was like it was like a wrong place,
wrong time thing, and it was like a random person
got him. And then this other guy was also wrong place,
wrong time, So like two people just shouldn't have been
in the same place and uh, and one of them

(01:08:22):
unfortunately ended up losing his life, which is terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
But yeah, this is like a shittier version of Strangers
on a Train.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
It's like, this is a cross scenario.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
That was the exact headline that I used. Joe. That's
crazy that you said.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
It's on research and development.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
So I googled your story and just us. Yeah, I
gotta I gotta find it again because I got I
forgot how that ended.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
But then we don't just exist on this podcast to
talk about strip club DJs being Big Ben or black
Hole that's too bad, Owen Lawns and Jinko's, or Nuggies
in the basket. Now on the Awful Service podcast, we
also exist to battle the scourge that is known as Karen's.

(01:09:09):
But before we go into our next segment, Ben Cansterer,
how would you define a Karen?

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
First of all, I'd start with just a woman named Karen.
I think that's pretty good. Uh this had this happened
to me recently at a show where a woman goes,
I'm a Karen and that felt like a slur and
then she's like, no, my name is Karen. I was like, oh,
you're allowed to be that. That's fine. I would say
Karen is anyone who unjustly thinks they are in charge

(01:09:35):
and they are the authority, and they have the power
to bring in more authority in any situation.

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
Oh, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
That's that's that's a that's a new We've been asking people,
what about boy who is a Karen?

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
And that's yeah, that's a new one with sights. I
like it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
But each and every week we look at different Google reviews,
YEP reviews, Facebook reviews, sometimes their tweets or handw notes.
The segment we call the Karen of the Week.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
This is Karen, I'm your boss.

Speaker 8 (01:10:07):
Oh my god, Karen, Oh my god, Karen five, Oh

(01:10:30):
my god, Karen.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
This week's Karen of the Week is from Mike bad.
It is a one star review from July second, twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
For Hooters. Whoa, whoa, we're still giving reviews of Hooters. Yeah,
I know, right, he's been holding this one in for
a while.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Well he has. I found this under the guy on
a page and someone goes, this man is suffering and
we'll all see.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
So all right, please tell me it's not about the food.
It's about it's just just just it. Oh god, oh god.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
A trip to Hooters used to mean more than just
chicken wings and also know a little bit of scenery.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
If you catch my drift.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
I tell my wife I was going for the lunch specials,
but we both knew while I was there for the ambiance.
But now my wife just uber eats it straight to
the house. I don't even like the food. I was
in it for the views. Please get rid of uber eats.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
One star. It's not a review about Hooters.

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
It's more a review of uber eats and how uber
eats is ruining his marriage.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Yeah, this feels like a This is definitely Karen energy.
This is a perfect call because it's like I'm calling
Uber eats to tell them they shouldn't even a thing
I don't like. No one should have you know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
If I can't see titties, know what s you see titties?

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
Who the fuck is uber eating Hooters?

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Right? I'm sure you can follow a I'm sure there's
a sidewalk littered with tears that will tell you exactly
where that person lives, because that's gotta be one of
the satisfy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
All of their wives are like, we could just uber
eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Sure, Yeah, like that you say, like their burgers so much.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
It's all the wives being like, look technology, that's funny.

Speaker 9 (01:12:26):
Yeah, yeah, you know we want need to go out.
You have you've got Hooters work like the Yeah we've
got that's a great meme. Oh can we go to Hooters.
We've got Hooters at.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
Home and the hoos at home or just like your wife.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
It's it's just like a styrofoam thing of chicken wings
with some saggy titties.

Speaker 2 (01:12:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's a great you guys, you do that
for the pod. That's good. That's a good meat. It's
just sad, just sadness. I's the only way you can
give a one star review Hooters. As if like someone's
working there and they have too many nipples, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
Yeah, like it's a there's four and you're like, this
is fucking me up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
Drute, and they're not in the places you think they'd
be exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
You got a neck nipple, you got you got a
hip nipple that comes and rubs on you when she's
trying to be flirting and giving you your wings. Yeah,
just looking at me.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
It's just it follows me no matter where I go.
Do you remember when Hooters.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Opened and Saint Cloud, Uh, no, you gotta.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
It was on that is that there used to be
h It used to be uh, it was like some
breakfast place before that, and then it turned into a
Hooters and now and then it turned into a white
castle and now it's a bank, which is you can.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
Fall Okay, I know exactly what you're talking about. I think.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Yeah on my division Yeah, on Division Street. Yeah, my god,
the old yeah, across from the old McMillan's.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
Time it flies. Now it's a bank.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
I would love to see picture from the just like
the the street corner on the other side of that building,
and just say as it changes, as it just morps
into the next honestly, like the two different those two
the old McMillan's building and then the old Hooter of
the building that became Hooters and now is a bank.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
Uh. It has literally gone. Both of those places have
gone through so many changes. It was a cute one
was a cute Doba, then it was pepper Jack's and
now it's just an empty thing. Thats a cricket wireless
connected to it. For some reason, only.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
Constant is Saint Cloud Superman just waving slurs to people.
Probably you know.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
He's been He's literally there's only like four parking lots
that allow him anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
It's very funny. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Can we can we take a moment here real quick.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
To uh, you don't know about the Lord. I don't
know about Saint Cloud Superman.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Oh that's a whole episode.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Basically a mentally ill person who in his younger years
font font for our country. It was a marine apparently.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
And then the early to late nineties, early two thousands
used to stand outside of a dairy queen on Division
Street with a Superman T shirt. It was not even
a Superman like actual like costume. It's just a T
shirt and an American flag and he's kind of chubby,
but people do just any wore cape and people like, oh,
he's just this eccentric weirdo. He was nice like people

(01:15:18):
would take photos with him, and then slowly over time
and actually thanks to rum runners who actually paid him
to become super Pimp, who was then he would do
like sign spinning to go with go downtown and drink specials,
and for some reason it morphed his mind and he
just became like this. He went from he went from
Superman to Lex Luthor so fast, and was just sure he.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Got green pilled. He took the kryptonite and then and
now he's just like there shouldn't be any immigrants here
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:15:46):
So he's now he just drives around and broken vehicles
and he keeps breaking new ones and having to buy
new shitty vehicles with like American flags and MAGA flags
and Trump and then it's like the Trump like stickers
and bumper stickers. Dude went from being kind of chubby
to just being morbidly obese. He's got like a weird,
like shitty Santa.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Beard, which is a hero's journey. I think that I
can definitely identify one.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
Sorry, you know, I think I think the weight game
is because the only parking lot that allows him is
the Burger King on Division.

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
Sure, which want a choice. That's so funny, And he'd
be like, oh, everybody else ban you, but here at
Burger King, we stand for freedom. Well we said you
can have it your way. That's true. You can't be
country your way, but you can have this parking line.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Yeah. So he was like this guy that went from
being like this kind of quirky, beloved dude to just
a villain, just screaming like girls, women are sluts, and
like we had to ban him from my like driving
by our restaurant because he would scream at the waitresses
on the patio and just say.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
That you would drive by slurs.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
How can you ban someone from that though.

Speaker 3 (01:16:51):
Where you can get Well, we had wait with evidence
that he was stalking one of our waitresses who yelled
out at him. So you got like a legit, Yes,
he can't be within a thousand feet of our building.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
It's called the extra turns he has to take just
because he's an asshole.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
Yea, he going Highway twenty three West. I'll tell you that. Anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
I'd love to think that he's been banned from places
that it was like, oh yeah, it used to be
a bar, but then it turned into a coodoba for
a while.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Still bead from the codoba. It's that bad.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Honestly, he probably got banned from Hooters too in town
there when that place opened. By the way of the Hooters
in Saint Cloud I used. I only went once, but
it's because I knew a bunch of the waitresses because
they had worked at I'd worked them at different restaurants.
And bars and so like I talked, I texted him
ahead of time, like hey, I'm coming in. I want
you to ignore all of my friends and only pay

(01:17:44):
attention to me, just to fuck with their heads because
they didn't know I knew these My buddies didn't know
I knew them, And like there's like, so I have
two Hooters waitresses sitting on my lap and one giving
me like a neck rub, and then the other guys like,
so can we get some service? They're like yeah, yeah,
in a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Oh man, what's going on? Then just like my friends
just what the what the fuck is that? That's incredible,
that's a great bit.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
It was so much funds waitresses getting what the hell
is this?

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Like, oh, this is actually my act. It's pretty It's
just me getting a massage. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
Well, sometimes like being mad that Hooters is on uber eats.
Sometimes we have I'm sorry, ask ourselves. G why did
it fail?

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Everything was got away? Everything was away?

Speaker 10 (01:18:30):
Everything I don't have Now I have to figure out
why why did.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
Well? Let me just say, it's pretty incredible that you
guys got cake on your podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
We got all the nineties, the Beastie Boys, Cake, Dude,
I got them all.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
Well, then each and every week we look at different
uh businesses, we look at different menu items, we look
at different commercial and me asked, why do you think
that didn't age? Well, why do you think that didn't
work out for them? But this is a little bit
of a different g wide of the veil. And I
was actually saving this for when you were on the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
I want my career camera.

Speaker 3 (01:19:13):
Well, no, but you're gonna you'll you'll understand. This is
this is this is so.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm already excited. I know what you're
gonna do. This is gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
Something happened at a at a Saint Cloud era at
the Saint Cloud Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a there
was an event and uh, it's this man. Maybe he
got overserved, maybe he had some issues. Uh, and it's
it's gonna be uh this week's g Why did it fail?
Man punches police, threatless person and yells at customers at

(01:19:44):
Saint Cloud Buffalo Wild Wings From the Saint Cloud Times,
B's Got crazy. Customers at Saint Cloud Buffalo Wild Wings
were eating their meals on Friday, June twentieth, when a
man reportedly stood in in the middle of the restaurant
and began yelling that he would kill anyone who was

(01:20:05):
mean to Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
Okay, wait no, no, uh yep, oh wow, oh.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
That's mean today.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
Holy shit, this is insane, and it gets even more insane.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Events transpired to a fight between a man who isn't
named Dave and police officers. According to court records, officers
were sent to the restaurant for an unwonted person report.
According to criminal complaint filed by Sterns County on June
twenty third, a Buffalo Wildings employee and a restaurant goer

(01:20:39):
both told investigators that the suspect threatened to kill customers.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
Court records allege.

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
The Wilding's employee reportedly told law enforcement that he threatened
to burn the restaurant down than because of Dave, because
you know that's what happens when you do the blazon
wings challenge is do we.

Speaker 4 (01:20:58):
In this article? Do we find out out who Dave
is and why Dave was so dead?

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
Well, we got to read on, We got to read.
My suspect sign allegedly slapped a glass picture frame off
the restaurant's wall and tried with the table as well.

Speaker 2 (01:21:15):
Was the table bolted down, definitely bolted down, Buffalo. While
it's said you think you can flip every table, you can't.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
You know that's that's that's the server's job, not yours.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
Bro. You're not flipping tables.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
The tables look very flippable.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
But as it's hard to get a good good it's true, right,
I know that ranch.

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
A police officer eventually found the suspect behind Savers, which
is across the street. Court records state that the officer
told the man to stop, but he continued walking. The
officer approached the suspect and he reportedly told the officer
not to tell him to stop or something else was
going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Love it?

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Something else?

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
Was he about to ship his pants?

Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
What was he about to tell us? Who the fuck
Dave is?

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
And what game's important?

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
What's going on here? Can't be stopped? Brother?

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Yeah, listen, I had I had some Asian zing today
and I'm just through it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
I'm barely holding it in officer.

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
The officer told the man he was under arrest, but
the man pulled away.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
From the officer. According to court records.

Speaker 3 (01:22:17):
As he pulled away, the suspect went to the ground
and rolled on his back. The suspect then punched the
officer in the face, resulting in a swelling and a
cut on the officer's lower lip. The criminal complaint alleges,
hold on, hold on, we gotta.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Go back to that last second. So we really got
a white because he's still all.

Speaker 4 (01:22:34):
The way as he fell, yep, and he's on this
crazy dude is on the ground, but that he still
managed to punch an officer in the face.

Speaker 3 (01:22:45):
Oh yeah, and it gets worse because Core records state
that the suspect allegedly told the officer he was going
to cut his throat and kill him. The statement of
probable cause also allegens the man told the same officer
that he was going to mutilate his private parts.

Speaker 2 (01:23:01):
Whoa why can't they say generals? They should have said genitalia.
I was at a direct quote.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
That was the direct quote.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Yeah, the man will mutilate your private parts, sir. Mutilate.

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
It's a word that like, it means you still have genitals,
but they just all they look like ground beef.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
Now they don't want to say who they didn't before.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Yeah, now you got a lady anymore. The man was
put in a wrap device so he could be arrested.
At this time, the suspect asked for the responding officers
names and badge numbers so he could find them and
kill them.

Speaker 4 (01:23:41):
That's the funniest reason. Yeah, I want your fucking names,
your badge numbers. Because murder, you mutilate your genitals.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
That's you know, that always works.

Speaker 2 (01:23:51):
It's just the old. The old threatened to kill you.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Oh my god, I do.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
Want to say. So this is June twine. I love
the way this guy just decided to celebrate June teeth.
I think that's great. I think he took the whole.
He's like, oh, I like your twist. Dave was black.
I don't. I'm not even saying that. I'm just saying
the guy's dame wasn't Dave Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
His name was not Dave.

Speaker 4 (01:24:14):
You know, this guy was sticking up for Dave right,
and like this unknown Dave that something happened to Dave
at that buffalo, at that beat dogs he can buy.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
He's like, Juneteenth is on the nineteenth. Let's turn June
twentieth into the purge. Let's just do it the whole weekend.
I respect that, and I have no problem with him.
You know, he got he got caught. That's his that's
his vice has crossed the bear. But uh, you know,
I like some of that. He was saying some very
interesting things. I think he should hear him out. They're
good people on both sides of this thing.

Speaker 4 (01:24:43):
I would say, well, funny that you mentioned that, because
he has his own podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
I just like I was just talking about like someone
was just disparaging Dave Chappelle.

Speaker 2 (01:25:00):
Yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
I saw.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
It's one of them. That's hilarious. Oh my god, it's
just Adrian Washington. You just got.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
Drum Yellow Springs.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
He was a good guy and you will not talk
shit about him. Shout out to Adrian, very funny comedian,
a podcast guest friend of the podcast front of Us.

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
We love Adrian and also and also if they would
have been like local celebrity, because let's face it, we
don't have a lot up here. It's like Adrian Washington,
Saint Clouds, Superman. Uh, and that's about.

Speaker 2 (01:25:40):
It, feels like about it. Honestly, it's a drop off.

Speaker 3 (01:25:44):
Well, no, like there's some like NHL players, Yeah, that's
that's about it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
That's about it.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
It's the people who played D three football. You know,
it's really all it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
Is now on their own car dealership, not me. I'll
tell you that I am not a celebrity and starts
cutting You're show was probably the only show I do
in the Stearns County limits.

Speaker 4 (01:26:03):
I would say, so, uh, did you make any big plays?

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
I was Notoriously, I would say pretty bad, honestly. I
uh my friend played for like uh my high school
buddy played for our rival team, and he was like
one time he told me they were watching film like
prepare for the game, and they were they were like
watching me, and they were like talking shit. He's like,
come on, guys, he's not that bad, Like it was

(01:26:30):
just a rough. He was like defending my honor. Oh yeah,
I don't think it was that great. I should have
I should have started comedy so much earlier than I did.
I could have changed or I should have become a
strong clumb DJ a lot earlier.

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
DJ Big Fan on the Ones and twos, Ding Dong
Ding Dong coming up next to the Stageia, Yeah, this
has been fun, but I think it's timely. Eighty six
the podcast. But before we go, we dive one last
quick quick segment for us no music for this one,
it's called Human Yelp Reviews. That's where you Ben Cancner,

(01:27:06):
you get to review the podcast. You can either review
the podcast as a whole or Joe and I individually.
You can use a five star metric or as many
stars as you'd like, and whenever you like to start.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
Yeah, I think this podcast is it's like, uh, it's
like being on the bus with two different guys on
the A like h on the AA spectrum, you know
what I mean, Like one guy is done and one
guy is like you gotta go, you know, and whichever
one you want to be that's only fine. But it's like,

(01:27:39):
you know, you're like, oh, so what happened? You had
this terrible experience? And then someone's like, you know that
dogs can hear you be right like that, and you're
just like you're having two very different, very interesting conversations,
and then occasionally they overlap, and then it's just kind
of a guy being like, Yo, who is Dave? Really?
Who's Dave? If you've ever been trapped on the bus,

(01:28:01):
this is this is a more pleasant version of that.
I would say.

Speaker 3 (01:28:05):
Actually, we were going to call it the Trapped on
the Bus podcast. It was a little.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
Clunky Trap to the Bus is pretty good. That's a
good podcast. That's not good at all, but it's very fun.
And I appreciate y'all letting me be on and plugging
the special.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
You know, I get to get out a start. If
you had to give it a star review.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
If I had to give you a star review, I'd
give you sixty nine stars out of seventy night. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:28:32):
Yeah, it's like getting a hand job on it.

Speaker 11 (01:28:37):
And then it's a small world ride. So this is
exactly what I'm talking about. This is trapping the bus energy.
That's exactly That's a good callback. And then you're like, wait,
what is that kind of say? And then you just
hit it. You're like, you know what, this is my stop.
I'll walk the rest of the man.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
