Andrew Santino Returns! | Are You Garbage Comedy Podcast Kevin Ryan & H. Foley

Santino's wife organized a birthday party with a hibachi chef who came to their house. This proved to be significantly cheaper than renting out a room at a Benihana restaurant for 25 people, offering a more intimate and entertaining experience with a chef who even sprayed sake from a Super Soaker.

Santino states it was 'cheaper than if we rented out Benihana' and 'less than half of the price to have the guy come to the house.' The chef brought a Blackstone grill and entertained guests with tricks and sake.

Santino recounts two unconventional pick-up strategies: one where a friend would mouth 'Boyfriend?' to a woman across a room to gauge her reaction, and another where an Irish friend would 'neg' women about their 'fake eyelashes' to initiate conversation and a kiss.

The 'Boyfriend' move involved observing reactions: a dismissive 'no' indicated an opening. The 'fake eyelashes' move involved pretending to be a makeup artist, convincing women to close their eyes, and then kissing them, which 'worked 100% of the time.'

Santino and the hosts discuss the pressure to over-tip when recognized by restaurant staff or when receiving complimentary items. They agree that a standard tip isn't enough in these situations, necessitating a more generous gesture, often in cash, to acknowledge the special treatment.

Santino describes a situation where a manager comped a $480 bottle of bourbon, leading him to feel obligated to tip $200 on a reduced bill to show appreciation. Kevin Ryan also recounts a situation where a waiter comped dessert, leading to a debate over the appropriate tip for a $400+ bill.

Andrew Santino expresses a strong dislike for smash burgers, calling them a 'scam' and 'burnt meat.' He prefers a traditional burger cooked medium-rare to retain its juiciness, arguing that smashing a burger 'smashes all the good out.'

Santino states, 'I don't like smash burgers. I don't like them. What do you mean? You gave me burnt meat for $19.' He emphasizes wanting 'the meat to be medium rare' and 'all that juice.'

Santino meticulously ranks his preferred methods of consuming Coca-Cola, emphasizing the impact of the container and sugar type on taste. He considers Mexican Coke in a glass bottle with real cane sugar to be superior, followed by fountain soda, and then cans, with plastic bottles being completely unacceptable.

He states, 'Mexican coconut bottle is the greatest version of Coke. Then it goes fountain. Then it goes can. Can's the dead last.' He 'will not consume' plastic bottles due to them getting warm too fast and altering the taste.
