A random garbage man interview was more entertaining than any celebrity one I’ve seen recently. We need more of these. Repo man, plumber etc
-
More blue collar workers. Tired of these tech nerds, bitcoin millionaires, rappers, comedians, billionaires, influencers, actors. We need more people like this guy, the ones who keep America running and doesn’t get appreciated.
-
Mad respect for sanitation workers.
-
Native NYer here too, I also drive a garbage truck. Every once in a while there are guys like this who reach legendary status. Great episode Theo keep up the good work
-
I’m a Garbage Laborer for city of Chicago. Thank you for uploading this. One of the most unappreciated jobs in the world.
-
Wayne is more interesting than 95% of celebrities. Tells his story well and a good conversationalist. It's such a good idea to get people on from these walks of life. This was genuinely educational - we need to know how our society actually works.
-
I've been a garbage man for nearly 20 years, this was an awesome podcast to hear it from another real dudes pov
-
Theo starts off saying "garbage" and about halfway through he starts calling it "gahbage" like Wayne says it 😂
-
Theo is on a different level. Having normal everyday hard working people on his podcast is awesome. My favourite podcast on YouTube. Keep killing it Theo
-
Regular folk episodes are far and away the best ones. So smart of Theo and his team. No one else is doing this !
-
"The deer are swimming over from Jersey" Theo: "why, they hate it over there?" 💀
-
Wayne is a NATURAL from the second you guys started. The chemistry is insane
-
These are the best type of episodes.
-
Please keep doing episodes just like this! The toilet attendant at the club. Roadkill Collector. Crime scene cleaner. A Hoarding house cleaner. Archeologist. An adult bookstore owner. You know, the usual stuff.
-
I often think about the human history that is lost because historians only discuss people “relevant/significant” to current society. Conversations like this help ease my mind as I realize there are still people interested in and documenting the life of the average or unnoticed people in society. Wayne was such a great guest. Thank you.
-
Drove garbage trucks for almost 11 years, this was hilarious. So many relatable parts of the stories.. we had “collectors” too, trucks looking like Sanford & Son 😂
-
What a cool dude. Thanks for showing the normal side of the country Theo. These are better than celebrities interviews
-
Theo is in his own genre of podcast with regular blue collar people like this. Working class finally getting some respect, wouldn't expect less from a southern man.
-
It’s weird that so many talk shows and media organizations only talk to the big names, as if somehow they have a better story to tell than guys who are working in the cruddiest, most interesting, most important industries in this country. Please keep doing more of this!
-
Theo is the most genuine, curious, kind, and validating dude on the internet. He is truly interested in unique experiences and attributes of others. I admire the shit out of you Theo! Keep being yourself.
