The show where we sit down with your favorite comedians and find out if they

I'm your host, H. Foley, coming at you on a beautiful day down here in Aunt Tootie's
basement.
She was on her way back from Washington.
Some people came to the door this morning, and now I'll see her on Tuesday at
the arraignment.
Sure.
My co-host is coming at you from right next to me.
He, uh, he's the CEO of Are You Garbage?
He cooks the books.
He keeps us all in line.
Gang, the next time we reach you for a best pal, do yourself a favor.
Make it a kippy.
Give it up for Kevin James Ryan.

Join that fucking army of garbage, baby.
Help us keep the lights on.
Wet our beaks a little bit.
We got bail money to cover.
Yeah, if you join, we will answer one of your garbage questions on there.
We will fucking do bonus episodes.
We do live streams with you guys.
Check it out.
A lot of good stuff on there.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you, Kippy.
And how about a nice shout out to our producer extraordinaire, the pride of the
Chicago comedy scene,
the fucking magic man, T-Bone, Toby McMullan.
Yeah, T-Bone.
Hey, what up?
How about the Bears?
Wait, no.
Did it just come out?
Oh, we had a great game on Sunday.
The Saints came marching in.
We stomped them out.
Or, fuck Matt and Aggie.
We've been saying he's a piece of shit all year.
We knew it was coming.
The loss ain't going to stop us next year.
You should do two in case they lose.
Do two different versions.
I just did.
Yeah.
We checked out when Toby talked.
We were like, you should do that thing you did.
Oh, sorry.
Say deep dish.
Keep it moving.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Gang, we could not be more excited to have our incredibly special guest here
with us today.
We've been trying to work this out for a while.
Yeah.
A lot of sit-downs out there on Ditmar's Boulevard to make that happen.
Yeah, a lot of sit-downs, a lot of consultations with doctors, emergency room
visits.
A couple of co-pays we had to hit.
I mean, yeah.
If you want to go to my page, it's called Yana's Head COVID Kickstarter for my
uncovered medical bills.
And then we almost didn't make it here because me and T-Bone had a little miscommunication
on the text.
Yeah.
And I went to Queens first and then to Westchester, got out of the car, and
then he told me he actually did send me the right one after he changed the
address.
So, I'm here to thank God.
Look at it.
We love it.
Gang, that voice you hear is our incredibly special guest that we're so happy
to have with us today.
He has his own Comedy Central half hour.
He has a stand-up special out right now called Blowing the Light.
Of course, you know him from the wildly successful, wildly funny History Hyenas.
And he has a brand new podcast out called Long Days.
Gang, do us a favor.
Give it up for the one, the only, Giannis Papas.
Gianni, thanks for coming, pal.
Thank you.
That was just such the world we've been living in for the past year.
You made me nervous that whole time because I felt you looking at me.
Yeah, I'm looking at you.
And I stuttered on a couple of words.
And then you just gave me nothing on the end until he got arrested at the
protest.
I laughed at that.
I laughed at that.
And Toby picked it up on the old mic there.
But I'll tell you.
I got Giannis staring.
I know you're disapproving of my Tony story.
You did that bit last episode with Soder.
What do you want from me?
Oh, shit.
That's part of the intro.
Yeah.
You're shoving the same two-bit joke down every time.
You look like a guy who might do the same bit twice.
He looks like the guy who likes a few beers.
Yeah.
Definition of a hack, if you know what I mean.
He wrote some good bits in 09 and really phones it in.
No, but what I'm saying is.
He gave me, like, a real, like, good comic intro.
Sure.
Yes, sir.
And then there was silence.
Yeah.
Because that's the world we've been living in.
We're just people at home.
You just are just eating, watching.
And we're going like, yeah, we're doing a show.
Someone's got a mouthful of Cheez-Its right now.
This is an interactive show.
Hope you got your VR glasses on.
This is a world of comedy now.
Are You Garbage?
Brought to you by Oculus.
Give it up for Giannis Pappas.
Now pause for laughter.
Pause for laughter.
T-Bone, put that in post.
Laughter for Gianni P.
You can hear the Cheez-Its munching from here.
But boy, do we adapt like roaches.
Stick and move, baby.
Stick and move.
We are fucking the roaches of the arts.
Yeah.
We're on rooftops.
We're in computers.
Yeah.
We'll fucking show up in your basement.
Doesn't matter.
We'll show up to your mom.
Yeah.
Do the same jokes twice anywhere.
Who gives it?
I'm coming.
I don't care.
Fucking corporate Zoom shows, the whole nine yards.
Oh, fuck, man.
Making fun of people's home office.
Ah, Dale, pretty shitty bookshelf there.
All right.
That'll be $100, please.
Yeah.
I mean, fucking, you know, we're roaches, dude.
You know when you get a text from your boy like, yo, you going to show tonight?
Yeah, yeah, the one on the nine train?
Yeah.
I'll be there.
Dude, they're doing that.
Times you're set.
I don't know what times a train can get in a 40-second train.
I know.
I saw that.
We're pushing the show time.
A club's doing it.
I got sent avails from stand-up New York.
Hey, what time can you be on the six train?
Yeah.
Get the fuck out of here.
I wrote back.
I said, lose my email address until you become a comedy club again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm too old to get an email like that.
It makes me feel bad.
I respect it, though.
I can't.
I've been saying that, well, just like what you're saying, we adapt.
We're fucking, we're still doing it.
I think the kids that are out there now doing the open mics, who didn't fucking
crumble
and move home, that are doing open mics in the streets, fucking in Washington
Square
Park on the street, that's going to be a special class.
No, they will be better waiters when this is off-site night.
Absolutely.
Be some top-notch baristas coming at you.
They are going to be some hardened waiters.
Yeah.
We'll get you bread before you even ask for it.
They'll be dropping that shit.
They will have a great, unsuccessful podcast.
I mean, you know, you guys got it.
You got a good one.
We're sick.
You got a fucking good one.
Keeping the foot on the gas.
The buzz is there, and like, yeah.
So most people, it's like, you want to do a podcast in a book club?
And it goes for like, I had six failed podcasts before I got one.
This is our third?
Third?
Yeah.
This is our third that finally hit.
Shout out to Schultzy, by the way.
Exactly.
Yeah.
He gave you guys a little shout out, right?
Yeah, we did that.
He did our show.
Yeah, he's been fucking great.
Nice little bump.
Yeah, no, he helped me.
He produced my special too.
Yeah.
This is great, by the way.
Yeah, thank you.
You're a comedy club.
Fantastic.
I love that place.
Shout out Emilio.
100%.
He's a fucking guy who makes it happen no matter what.
Making it fucking happen all summer, doing a million different things, busting
his fucking
ass.
Yeah.
You gotta love him.
Yeah.
He sees a strip club, he's like, let's do a show.
Let's do it.
And I've been to that strip club and every time I go, I ain't fucking going
back.
And then like four months later, I'm like, what a cash ain't that bad.
I love it.
I've done it three times and I've done the same thing.
I'm never doing it again.
And he calls him like, I got nothing else going on.
We love going down to the claridge.
Fucking couple of rooms, get up Saturday, walk around the boards a little bit
down there
in AC.
Yeah.
A little diner breakfast.
Not bad in the summer, you know.
Yeah, it's fucking great.
I don't mind it in the summer.
It's like, yeah, AC's kind of like, it's like America's, it's like America's
path.
Like you're walking into, it's like the way Pittsburgh used to feel before it
got gentrified.
If you go in with that, with that mentality, you're going to have fun.
Well, if you're just like, yeah, this is fucking, this place is a fucking hell
hole and just
embrace it, it's fine.
But some people go down there like, yeah, we're going to go be like, you know,
fucking
shooting dice and stuff.
It's like, dude, it ain't that anymore.
We used to love taking mushrooms and going down to AC specifically to walk
around the casinos,
walk around the board and just get all tripped out.
That's, I mean, if you look at it, I mean, that's fucking, that's having a
positive attitude.
Yeah, I could go bad quick though, dude.
That's like being in a haunted house on shrooms.
Some fucking guy, dude.
All of a sudden you're at the keynote table.
Yeah.
Dude, we went, I was, last time we were down there, I went into a CVS and I was
like buying
batteries or something and the guy behind me actively bleeding from his face in
line.
Wasn't buying band-aids either.
No, and I'm like, oh shit, dude, you like thinking, and he was buying a
magazine or something.
I'm like, what the fuck, dude?
Like, you need attention.
How about a little fucking Neosporum and some gauze there, fella?
And Leading City's like, you're in the casino, you stay in the casino.
Stay in the casino.
You don't leave.
You don't leave.
You don't leave to go get one of those famous sandwiches at night.
You do that at 11 a.m.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You do that with an Uber.
Yeah.
Get a hoagie in the morning and keep it fucking moving.
I love the Tropicana, too, because that's where he has, where is it?
He does it at the Tropicana, Emilio, right?
Yeah, at the Tropicana.
Well, no, then he just moved to the Claridge Hotel.
But the one that it used to be at the Tropicana.
It was like the stripper stage.
Yeah.
Yeah, that thing was a fucking hellhole.
What was the name of the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
It was bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb every time I was there.
And the staff's just like wanting the show to wrap up.
As soon as it's done, they fucking move the stage, put the strippers on the
poles.
Yeah, yeah.
Good times.
Yeah.
It's a tough one.
We love it.
Well, Giannis, thank you so much for being here today.
We couldn't, we're very happy to have you.
I know bits and pieces.
You're a New York kid.
New York kid.
City kid.
All the way.
Like, like Philly kids, we like let you know.
We're like the Jews of what cities we're from.
We slip it in in every sentence.
Like, well, I'm a Jew.
We go like, I'm from Philly, so you know what?
I shit myself all the time.
We're from New York, so like, you don't even, we're always like,
you don't know what this city used to look like.
I mean, we're always telling you.
You're going like, look, I don't give a shit.
I'm here to be an actor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't care what fucking, what it was like before gentrification.
I know you got slices and all that shit.
You're a real deal cool New York City kid.
80s.
I was, yeah.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s here, so I, it was a different city.
Crazy.
And now it's back.
Yeah, dude, it's, we were talking before we came on.
It's getting fucking dicey out there.
It's like John Travolta's career.
Just fucking back from Pulp Fiction.
No chocolate croissants here, my friend.
I'll tell you that.
No.
You get a condition like it.
Yeah.
I did a sketch here, actually around the block, right here.
Yeah.
Because this is where it's like back again to what it was.
This is where, dude, this fucking, places are boarded up, sho
