Insights
1The Mysterious Raising Cane's Chicken Order
H. Foley was confronted with a $150 delivery of Raising Cane's chicken at a comedy club, addressed to him. He denied ordering it, leading to a comedic 'interrogation' by Kevin Ryan, who suspected Foley of a secret fast-food habit or a misfired order intended for home. Foley suggested it was either a secret admirer or a setup.
H. Foley: 'It was about $150 worth of C's chicken.' Kevin Ryan: 'My immediate thought process is that you were guilty.'
2Ordering Milk with Dessert at Restaurants
The hosts discuss the 'garbage' or 'slick' nature of ordering a glass of milk with dessert at a restaurant, noting that while it's not on the menu, it's usually available. The main drawback identified is that the milk is often lukewarm, intended for coffee, rather than cold for drinking.
Kevin Ryan: 'Only problem is it depends what refrigerator it's in. It's not always super cold.' H. Foley: 'If you're on a date, you're getting milk. You got a bigger dick than me.'
3Home Hygiene: Showerheads and Curtains in New Homes
A listener asks if it's 'garbage' not to change the showerhead when buying a new house. The hosts agree that keeping the previous owner's shower curtain is definitely 'garbage' due to potential 'hand stains' and previous activities, but they debate the necessity of immediately replacing a showerhead.
H. Foley: 'I used the shower curtain for too long. I will say from the house I bought.' Kevin Ryan: 'You're using a guy's toothbrush.'
4The Social Currency of 'Heaters' (Cigarettes)
The hosts discuss how sharing cigarettes can build strong relationships and alliances, particularly in the comedy world or even for spies. They recount how they were known as the 'heater guys' at festivals, leading to connections with bigger comics, managers, and agents.
H. Foley: 'If you're a Karen Smoker and you're a comedian, that is where a lot of career alliances or you know relationships are made over heaters.'
5Legal Services Billing Practices
A listener's father, an independent contractor in legal services, charged mileage while working from home. This prompts a discussion on how law firms 'run up hours,' billing in 15-minute intervals for short phone calls and exaggerating time spent, highlighting the 'racket' of high-end legal billing.
H. Foley: 'Phone call. 3 minute phone call. That's an hour.' Kevin Ryan: '15 minutes. Of course. 15-minute interval intervals.'
Lessons
- Be wary of lukewarm milk if you order it with dessert at a restaurant; it's likely intended for coffee.
- Always replace the shower curtain when moving into a new home, as it's a common source of 'garbage' hygiene.
- Consider the social benefits of sharing small consumables like cigarettes ('heaters') in informal professional settings to build rapport.
- Be aware of how legal services bill for time, as short interactions can be rounded up to longer billable increments.
Notable Moments

Kevin Ryan's confession of slurping H. Foley's soup when Foley was sick, which Foley describes as a 'sick bastard' move that still 'wakes him up in the middle of the night.'
