honestly these are the guys we need on pod casts. spilling the trade secrets lmao cheers gents
YESSS. Just folks off the street. Real people. No one with fame.
I've been thinking the same thing for a while. Definitely a good idea
@@huskboo Exactly, there should be a podcast series with regular working class people
The fact that you called garbage man a trade is hilarious there’s no skill in being a garbage man like there is in being a welder or HVAC,Plumber etc you get the point.
Let Theo cook he doesn’t need ur input
I hope Theo gets back to this format. That's what made his channel stand out from the crowd for me. I don't know that the same 12-15 comedians interviewing each other can go on forever.
So true.
Sick of Joe Rogans rotation of random comedians nobody gives a fuck about
@@discobriscoe5880Rogan's retards
@@EUCvibesDont do it
@@RyDawg084life is better if you do it🫵
There’s always other people to watch
Interviews of navy seals, ex-cia spies or SF operators promoting their book or master class gets exhausting. Blue collar guys like this, doing the daily grind to eek out a living are just as inspirational.
These types deserve and need more props for what they do. It’s why nobody wants to work regular necessary jobs anymore. The general public only sees pro athletes, actors, and stand up comics receiving accolades now days. We can all survive without those people. We can’t survive without trash men, janitors, nurses, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, hvac repair etc
Leave it to Leo to bring these guys on. 😎👍
I was a garbage man for two years. Great job!. Made $75k+ a year and had fun every day.
Nice! $39hr
My grandpa rode on the back of a trash truck for decades and loved to pick stuff. He had all kinds of little nicknacks, most of which he probably found in the trash, displayed around his house. As a little kid, every time we’d stop to see him, he’d show us new treasures he found and occasionally give me something cool. When I was probably 10, I was traveling with my uncle and we stopped at my grandpa’s house. My grandpa brought out a lock box, like an old cash box, that he’d found and said there’s something inside, and we heard something heavy shuffling around and knocking against the sides when he moved it, but the box was locked without a key. So, he handed it to my uncle to see if he could get it open. My uncle looked it over to come up with a plan to open it and I said that I could pick the lock open with a paper clip. My uncle, probably not realizing I was being serious and assuming he’d have to destroy the box to get it open anyway, handed it to me thinking it would keep me occupied for a while. Then my grandpa found me a paper clip and a little flathead screwdriver and I sat on the floor picking at the lock while they talked. It took me maybe five-ten minutes before I managed to pop the lock and locked inside was a loose old .22 revolver. No holster, no padding in the box, just a metal revolver in a metal box. I grew up with guns, so I knew not to put my finger on the trigger and to keep it pointed down/away, but when I pulled it out of the box, my uncle’s eyes got so wide and he snatched it from me so fast…

This is honestly an amazing idea. Bring more people on podcasts! I wanna hear stories from people you'd never hear from!
"Any bone structure, anything like that?..."
"Yeah! mom used to use our allowance in them..."
I can't with Theo 😂
"yeah, f*ck him. but yeah tell me"
I had a job in 2009 during the mortgage crisis driving a roll off truck. This is when they were giving people cash for keys to leave their homes. The stuff I would take out of the dumpsters and bring home was amazing because the houses were just being thrown into the dumpsters. My wife would complain until she started seeing the money come in from the things I sold on Craigslist. One of the most enjoyable jobs I have ever had.
We waste A LOT in this country. I met a mover once who told me he had a warehouse filled with furniture, electronics, etc. from people who decided they just didn't want it anymore or didn't have the space for it so the movers took everything and resold it.
It's not wasted then
This man isn’t lying, I’ve work as a mechanic since 1990 on garbage trucks and have many stories. It really is amazing what some people throw away and what garbage men find out on their routes . One time a driver found an old area rug rolled up an thrown in the back of a roll-off box, he pulled it out and when he unrolled it out came the customer’s dead wife that he rolled up in the rug and threw into the debris box . What is really funny is most companies have rules about scavenging , yet you couldn’t stop these men from doing it , even the threat of termination doesn’t stop them.
I’ve sold garbage truck going on 21 years. It’s a Great Recession proof industry. One of my early demos in Minnesota in a really nice neighborhood we picked up homes of some of the American Indians who received royalty checks or whatever you call it from an Indian owned casino. One of these people would leave a nice upright vacuum by the curb about every 4 months. After dumping the first two in the trash over the last year the driver thought why does this guy go through so many new vacuums? After the third newer vacuum was set out one was set out he ended up
Just putting it in the cab (an automated truck) . When he got home he found the only reason the owner threw it away was the bag was full and he was too lazy to change it. Things you do when you get checks and never have to work for your money (casino welfare money) Have lots of other stories but this one is one of my favorites.
Theo was actually a garbage man on my street, in Louisiana, when he was 20. Was actually pretty consistent with my can placement. Good dude.
You being forreal?
@@lemshetski9928no way hes fos but thats funny either way
@lemshetski9928 nah, i just thought he'd laugh. Lol. He woulda been tho, he'd tell ya.
@@meholder7570 Lyin' Fool.
Nothing worse than a GM's poor can placement
Yo this guy is funnier and better than most of Joe rogans “comic” guests
What did you find funny?
@@leonardhpls6 his personality and realness. But that’s just east coast people are unlike the fake west coasters. No forced laughs no scripted and practiced lines/reactions.
Comedians find other comedians funny. Imo a lot of them suck.
It's cool that Andrew Schulz grew a beard and got a side-gig as a garbage hauler 😂
He's funnier than Schultzie actually
pfff fckin Shultz is dome rich kid dipshit who never lifted a finger
Its Shulzy's future self sent back to the present...the question is whether its Looper or Terminator reasons.
He could have sold the Joker Poker machines for much more than what he found lol
Was looking to see if anyone would point that out. The flea market reseller guy realized how much high value shit gets thrown out on a daily basis.
Yea old game machines are not cheap, even broken ones sell depending on what it is.
I was thinking the same.🤯
Why doesn't anyone else do podcasts with regular folk? Is Theo the only real mfer out there?
The Real Ones Podcast with Jon Bernthal.
Most California comedian and actor podcast don’t care. want only Hollywood business and don’t want to mess with there algorithm.
It's good that the heroes who take care of our trash also find uses for things other people throw away as well.
Moms used to use our allowance in them. Theo is funny a F
Right 😂
Being on the back of a trash truck for almost 10 years was one of the best experiences of my life. I worked for a local city government and the city was pretty small, so we only ran 5 trucks. The job isn't for everyone, you run into some real a-holes, and you see a lot of things that you don't forget. Running a truck through some of the nicer neighborhoods though you could find some really great stuff.
i appreciate theo bringing on people who do the world’s hardest jobs. very respectable and says a lot about him for someone in his position tbh
this may be my favourite episode man! nice one.
That Moped was Mark Normand's
Another man's trash, is another man's cash
Rich people throw away everything. Got a free self-propelled push mower. And a moped. Just needed gas.😂🍻
My dad was a trash man in Orange County ca. You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff these people threw away. My dad found an original gameboy with around 20 games. A Super Nintendo with about 30 games. Bikes, lounge chairs. It just goes to show you that the old saying is true.
Ones mans junk is another man's treasure
My first scooter was a 1986 Honda elite 80 that I found on neighbors curb. Took it home and got it running. Ive been obsessed with old honda bikes ever since. Ive had a dozen or so and love doing wheelies on them 😅
Man, if you had an Elite back in the day, you were the shit! Or the black and purple Spree.
@@fit4ya1975 those are cool! I have a purple 1996 Honda elite sr 50 that I adore. The white elite 80s are also so cool to me.
This made me look up that type of scooter to know what you were talking about and now I want a scooter so bad
@Jukelikesgames don't be a scooter loser man.
I call my husband Sanford and Son all the time, but my husband doesn’t sell his treasures as he calls them, I tease him all time if you die your shit gone! He says I’ll haunt you😂😂
This guy still has another life to live people. Amazing.
My family runs a trash company and im always finding and pulling stuff out of the dumpsters. Alot of the drug stores like Walgreens and CVS throw away tons of seasonal stuff instead of paying to store it. I had a family of racoons coming by my house every night so I started bringing home donuts from a Dunkin that we dump, sure they might be pre-diabetic now but they will survive the winter with all that donut fat they've acquired
this particular podcast is definitely one to watch all the way through.
I worked for a trash company on a trash truck second day on the job found an empty pill bottle, laying in a shoebox with a vintage gold and pearl ring! I was hooked from that point on.
Cousin of mine worked for a trash company when I was a kid and he showed up at our house one day after work with a 2 huge box’s full of old hot wheels that hadn’t been opened!
Gotta have bigger dreams and goals in life, son. 😂
@@ELpeaceonearthsomeone definitely saved that doll for later!
Interviewing regular people is a great idea
I love that there's some millionaire garbage man out there because he decided to save some things from going into the landfill. It's a win-win-win story.
This is how Theo chooses his guests.
Theo: “hmmmm who am I going to interview”
Theo:💡 “how bout a garbage man from NY”
My dad was a trash man....would cut the liner out of the bottom of EVERY COUCH 😂❤ My Moms wedding ring came from a sofa in 1975 😂
"mom used to use our allowance in them"- flew right over his head 😂
My uncle ran a demolition service, and he could keep whatever they found in the homes. Lots of times it was people destroying a property with poor living habits, sometimes hoarders, sometimes it was just time for the building to go. He has gotten some really cool and valuable stuff from it. One old home had 1000 and 500 dollar bills in stacks hidden in the walls.
We need more episodes like this!
My best find was on bulk metal day. A lady was coming to the curb with a 4.5hp outboard motor in a wheelbarrow. I asked if the motor ran and she just started to rant about her exhusband. I took it home and sold it for $200 during a yard sale.
My grandpa was a garbage man for over 50 years he never did residential he did industrial and I remember him coming home with so much stuff when I was a kid I mean hundreds of pairs of brand new Nikes test sample shoes before they would be released, tools, genuine luxury bags, clothes ect we would go to the fle market every Saturday and he used to be rolling in it lmao
I was a garbage man for years. People throw out all kinds of things that are useful. I swear everything I needed...I ended up finding. I even found a QP of weed one time! Back then, all the sodas would have contests and you could spin and win a free soda...I checked all the bottles and always found free soda winning caps, winning scratch off lotto tickets. I would dig out all the vcr's and take them home...most of the time, they just needed a good cleaning...I sold a bunch of vcr's I dug out. One of my customers was George Foreman...the boxer...Best customer ever! Nicest family ever! My favorite job I have had in life was picking up trash.
“Yeah my mom used to spend my allowance in them” - “oh yeah”
This was a great episode!
One time driving down the street i seen a guy throwing away over 50 BRAND NEW IN BOX VHS recording tapes, and i saw the guy working and clearing out more garbage, and asked if it was alright to grab the tapes? He said go ahead! And i grabbed em, and listed and sold on ebay for 250$ overnight, lol. One time in 2012 bought a .50 cent brochure to Disneyland the first year it opened, came with 8 postcards, i sold for 10$ each, and the brochure sold for 425$, that .50 cents turned into $505 really quick.
Loved this interview. Nice job Theo
my buddy sends me a picture at least once a week from a score he picks up from peoples trash on his routes. It's crazy what people will throw out
This episode was great 🫂
Love the variety!!!!
this is a great idea of podcast. interview people that are the "average human" but with unique jobs and shit. not every pod needs to be comics and influencers
WHY NOT, its been throwing out, grate for him. Hope he makes a million again.😂❤
If it was a garbage man from a different state, with a different accent I would not have been as excited to watch this.
i work in recycling. There was a brand new, tags still on it, propane barbecue at the curb to be tossed. Figured it was a mistake, wheeled it into the back yard. Next week, it was back at the curb, sign on it to toss it out. The owner found one he liked better and bought it, and was in a tax bracket where it was not worth his time to return the other for a refund.
I love Theo's interview style. He actively listens to his guests and engages with THEIR story, unlike a Joe Rogan who wants to talk over everyone all the time.
i cant stand the way he deals with his guests, he is a scatterbrain and he interrupts constantly with his stories... he does make me laugh with some of his comments.
some Chinese delivery boy whose moped went missing is watching this podcast like😡🥺
I worked at a waste & recycling plant. I was a heavy machinery operator running a link belt or gigantic excavator picking up trash and shingles from roofing as well to grind into profit for road work ect. I used to have to sift through recycling as well separating plastics and would find jewelry and my favorite was musical equipment. A Marshall half stack was my best find lol. Needed the input Jack re soldered and it was mint.
some dude just parked his moped and came back like "what da hell man!"
The trick to finding good stuff is to go to affluent areas because items that are still good will be discarded when people upgrade to better stuff like larger flat screen tv’s.
Garbage men and mail carriers are great collectors. They find the goods without even having look
Love my trash guy.....unsung friends you can't live without.....
I don’t care what they find. I put things out with a note like “motor works but blades don’t spin”. Always picked up in one day
I clean parking lots for a living. I find all kinds of stuff in dumpsters, or just laying on lots. Ive found jewelry, electronics, collectables, air conditioners, all kinds of stuff. I also resell some of it as a side hustle. Its honestly a great gig. Have around 300 grams of gold and over 2 pounds of silver, all found on parking oots and sidewalks
I found an electric fireplace on the curb. An electric heater with lighted “flanes”. And a great rug. And a black rocking chair from about 1960. And another rocking chair that looks turn of the century, it has odd looking very strong all-steel (rusted) nails. I love my curb finds!!
0:46 dude bringing the New Yorkaa accent out of Theo🤣🤣
This makes me wanna work sanitation oddly. Get a good crew, bullshit around all day, find some stuff.
While I do firmly believe in road gold, there is another side of this coin. When I was a teenager working for my family’s small business, I’d do the weekly dump runs with the delivery van. As soon as I’d open the doors, I’d get people jumping in the back of my van, tearing open garbage bags. Business was upholstery, 99% of our trash was fabric scraps and cardboard. Fuckin sucked having to sweep it off the floor of the shop, and then again out of my van.
Get at me Theo I’ll come do the “pool boy” episode 🤙🏼
I remember when we were young we had a Budlight party ball. It’s a 5.5 gallon ball of budlight thwy comes with a tap. It’s like a mini keg. Anyway we cut it open (it was plastic) to finish the warm beer the next morning and I ended up 🤮 in it. I then threw it out with the trash. While shooting hoop the garbage came and we hear their guy saying “I’m gonna keep this. These things are worth $ if you take them back” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 wonder how far he got before they also puked 🤮 lol
theos f'ing bronx accent is killin me
Lol these guys got $760 when they could have sold those machines and made like 5k
I've been a garbage man for 23 years and this guy's absolutely right don't stand behind the hopper when it's cycling you will get sprayed stuff on you
I worked for county waste management as a bulk trash man. Let me tell you. The amount of shit that gets thrown away that is useful or damn near good as new is insane. Im talking about enough computers to start a 2nd hand business big . Lol
This was over ten years ago, my garbage guy, who owned his collection business, used to cut the power cords off of appliances and hang them on the truck. he claimed that when he cashed them in at the scrap yard he got a dollar apiece for them..
the kid in the last story was prolly Kai the hitchhiker
In the Netherlands, it's different. Coworker got fired for taking some recycling water bottles. Because it's then owned by the garbage company. And its then stealing.
I used to go to my town's transfer station back in my early teens. I'd take the decent computers, mix and match parts, and sell them. Started picking from the metal bin too... someone threw out a brand new, never been run small engine. Easy $200. Made enough money to not need a shitty first job. Those were the days. As shitty as throw out culture is, it does make opportunities for some folks.
i made more of trash while cleaning pools than i did cleaning pools 😂 id go back to the shop with a truck FULL of goodies and empty chemical buckets 😂
LOL My bi-weekly route through the "Better part "of town, is a regular thing. Most folks have no idea how valuable trash can be. I have been a dumpster diver for decades. Mainly to recycle the metals I can find. Between the Copper aluminum, brass, and stainless steel you can find some unusual stuff. Over the years, I have found a variety of collectables. Most of it is displayed throughout my house and the rest is awaiting the yearly Yard sale. I once found an Underwood Typewriter that was one of the first off the line. I tuned it up and looked around for pricing.. Within hours of a face book post, it was sitting in a private collection and I bought a used car with the proceeds from the sale.. I once found gold chain with a 1 oz Doubloon charm in a couch, I just wanted the back leather for my bike seat so, that was probably the most unusual find although not the most valuable by any means.
Another man’s trash…..is another man’s treasure. Once it’s tossed…..go for it!
One man's trash....................
One mans trash is another mans treasure.
When I lived in Palm Beach FL even the Middle class would drive around to the rich neighborhoods the day after Christmas. It would be a gold mine out there lol.
Yeah this video made me like Theo even better. Mixing up celebrity interviews with some common folks.
Some of my house is furnished and decorated with dumpster gold. Paintings, wood tables, video games, TVs after Black Friday, tools and appliances
Immediately thought of Kippy and Foley lmao
Theo Von, my man, bringing in the people who really matters in this world. Gang brother
Thanks for the arrow and the text in the thumbnail. I wasn’t sure who the garbage man was without it. Phew
Theo Von! ❤ Can't even describe how calming Theo's voice is to me! 😊
Theos New York City accent “Anyone find anything good ova da yëyhs”
that moped wasn’t a find, that’s theft
The steering was broken, ie the moped was trash.
The most valuable thing I've ever found in the trash
Was a fully functioning Red Bull cooler that you would find at a gas station. I'm a strong believer in road gold ❤
As an ex-garbage man myself, I knew many guys who did stuff like this, after they retired they had plenty of stuff, and money to keep making money for a long time.
I want a New England based framer/builder on next 🤣🔨
What a gem!
This is way better content than Burt/Brendan.
My dad was a garbage man for 30 years. He would bring shit home all the time.
My dad used to bring home vcrs and NES after SNES came out lol
Yeah… When I was a trash man, we used to have a garage sale every year with all stuff from the trash. You could make a good $400 at least. You would be surprised the stuff people throw away. Some things brand new, even unopened; expensive things even.
My buddy told me the garbage men rush to finish their route within 1-2 hours and spend the rest of their shift playing cards and drinking at the office.
You get All kinds of good stuff on a route it's amazing what people throw away
This ones for the people
at first i thought this was a swollen up Andrew Shultz LOL
