Trashy Baseball Teams! | Are You Garbage Comedy Podcast w/ Kevin Ryan & H. Foley

The hosts discuss the Savannah Bananas, a baseball team known for its Globe Trotter-esque, spectacle-driven games. Despite drawing 50,000 fans to Yankee Stadium and featuring legitimate college and minor league players, the hosts comically label it 'the trashiest version of baseball' due to the excessive dancing, TikTok elements, and the owner's flamboyant yellow suit. They acknowledge the business success but maintain a comedic 'hater' stance on the entertainment style.

H. Foley describes the team as 'Globe Troderesque' and 'too much dancing,' while Kevin Ryan notes they put '50,000 people in Yankee Stadium' and recruit players for 'elite athleticism' and 'creativity, dance, lip-sync, and trick plays.'

A listener asks if it's 'garbage' to schedule a phone bill payment knowing it won't clear, simply to buy more time before service is cut off. The hosts agree this is a classic 'garbage' move, noting that companies allow a window to keep customers connected, preferring a 'slow drip' of payments over losing a customer entirely.

Kevin Ryan states, 'just schedule the payment... make it 14 days in advance... let me stay connected.' H. Foley adds, 'It behooves them. They don't... they'd rather keep you in going, we'll keep the slow drip.'

The hosts debate if a couch in the kitchen is 'garbage.' While one host admits to being a 'comfort guy' and finding it 'cozy,' both agree it's 'trashy' due to hygiene concerns and the unsuitability of cloth furniture in a cooking area. They differentiate it from a built-in 'banquette' or diner booth, which are designed for kitchen spaces.

Kevin Ryan says, 'a couch in the kitchen, very cozy.' H. Foley counters, 'it's trashy... couches don't belong in the garage.' He later adds, 'I don't think there should be cloth in where there's cooking and eat.'

A listener reveals using Chuck E. Cheese tokens to unlock Aldi shopping carts, which require a quarter deposit. The hosts initially praise the ingenuity but then discover that Chuck E. Cheese tokens are essentially equivalent to a quarter in value, making the 'hack' less about saving money and more about the principle of avoiding the deposit.

Josh's submission: 'use Chuck-e-Cheese tokens to get shopping carts from the Audi? It's the same size as a quarter, so I get a free cart.' Kevin Ryan notes, 'I don't mind ripping off Aldi.' Luke confirms, 'Chuck Cheese tokens are... about $5 for 20 tokens. So a quarter. They're the same conversion rate.'

A listener asks if it's 'garbage' for their mom to divide a grandfather's ashes with a kitchen spoon into Ziploc bags at the kitchen table. The hosts are appalled, calling it 'crazy' and 'wild,' suggesting a more professional or at least private and respectful method, like using gloves and proper receptacles in a garage.

Jared's submission: 'Is it garbage that your mom at the kitchen table divides up your grandfather's ashes out amongst the siblings with a kitchen spoon and ziplockc bags?' Kevin Ryan exclaims, 'That's crazy!' H. Foley adds, 'you at least got to take that [stuff] to the garage... throw on some gloves... get some decent receptacles.'
