Dialing In with Brett
It’s sad, really. No one wants to start a podcast nowadays — so Brett stepped up. Dialing In with Brett is a dry-comedy show where comedian Brett Neustrom does what any curious (but lazy) person would do: cold calls people with his “hard-hitting” questions. Are all “boy moms” secretly in love with their sons? Do parking enforcement officers ever feel guilty? Do old people have sex in nursing homes? Brett’s got the questions. The guests have the answers. And you? I’m sure you probably have nothing better to do.
Critics are calling his unserious, light-hearted, and wildly dramatic interrogations a brilliant way to nourish the human psyche. (No critics have written in, but I’m sure they’d say something along those lines.)
New episodes drop every Thursday… Now, let’s dial the f*ck in.

Speaker 2hi, this is brett. I was dialing you in because I had a question. I there's no way. Hello god, what a dick.
Speaker 2Hey, you guys, we are back with another episode of Dialing In with Brett. Yo, we got some new followers. We got some new followers and all it took was me getting my car towed and just being so fucking dramatic about it To get about 2K. To get about 2K on the Instagram. Much appreciated, much appreciated. I was not going to be able to do that organically, um, so I appreciate, you know, building a little bit of that momentum. I assume it won't translate. It will not translate for the likes and views, but it's fun to just have 4 000 followers on instagram now. Anyways, welcome. Like.
Speaker 2I just like hate being negative, but the entire podcast is just like me bitching. I got fucking towed. I got fucking towed this week in a way that is unbelievable and truly no one should ever have to go through what I went through. I've been saying this a lot recently. Everything is hard, everything is fucking hard and it sounds like oh, woe is me cut to me getting fucking towed in malibu and they won't give me my car.
Speaker 2Let me set this scene. I had a gorgeous fucking beach day with my girls. Okay, we went to malibu oh, got sandwiches, hey, sitting on the beach. Come back to my car not being there. Okay, it was a good parking spot. We parked legally, which is usually something I'm not willing to do. I've been talking to my friends about how we have, like different types of anxieties. Like I have anxiety, like random anxiety about some things, and then some things I don't have anxiety about Parking. I don't give a fuck. Oh, what are you going to do, tell me. Anyways, I was parked legally, fucking legally. We are walking down PCH, oh Well, fucking legally.
Speaker 2We are walking down PCH. Oh Well, I kind of thought it was back there, but yeah, I guess I'm a fucking dumbass. It's probably a little bit further. Well, we did like three back and forth. What did we do? It was stolen. What do you mean? Why is it not here? There's also no things that are like if it was towed, call this number, great. Call the cops. I called the cops. My car was stolen. Are you in malibu? Yeah, it was toad. First of all, like how the fuck is that? It's like your car can't get stolen in malibu. Okay, I'm gonna steal a car in malibu just to prove a fucking point. Anyways, my car's toad, okay, great, how the fuck do I get a hold of them? They gave me this number.
Speaker 1I talked to this guy y'all hit it off very well.
Speaker 2We got along it's not bad to say no. This is horrible, because I did, obviously, episode one of this podcast. I had a parking enforcement officer and the main takeaway was like guys, be fucking nice to these people. They're people too. They're just trying to do their job like they're not the enemy. Okay, they're people too. They're just trying to do your their job like they're not the enemy okay, they're trying to help. I was a dick like what who fucking cares?
Speaker 2I was, I was upset and I was like what do you mean? I? I was like hey, like, hey, you're my car. Like where can I come and get it? No, what do you mean? No, what do you fucking mean? No, well, you have to. You have to go get your registration. Yeah, I'm not doing all that. Where, where can I pick up the car? Like between you and me? Like cut the shit. Like I'm in malibu, I'm not gonna uber an hour and a half back randomly where the fuck is my car? Doesn't give me any information. He's a dick to me. Hangs up, okay, great, I'll call you back me again. Hello, this time he was like really mean to me and he was doing this thing where I was like hey, like where, how do I get my car back? Like I can't go to the dmv right now, which makes perfect fucking sense sunday at 4 pm also like go to the dmv, baby.
Speaker 2I like I tried to get my passport photo taken at the dmv. I had to book out like three months in advance. Like don't act, like I can just pop into the DMV. This isn't a fucking grab and go, this is like four month ordeal and now I don't have a car. Anyways, I'm like how the fuck do I get my car Cut the shit. I can't go to the DMV right now. Where are you keeping my car? Can I come and just grab it? I will pay any amount, just please give me my fucking car.
Speaker 2Then he starts speaking to me in spanish. Okay, change of pace. You've been doing mostly english this entire call. And so then he starts repeating the same things that he was saying to me in english, but in spanish. And so after he finished his espanol, I was like okay, but like where could I come and pick it up? Answers in spanish again. And then I said okay, like what am I supposed to do? Continues with spanish. I was like you can, even I, I'm fine with english too. And he's like oh, like you would prefer if I spoke to you in english. Yeah, yeah, actually. Yeah, that'd be, that'd be great.
Speaker 2Continues in spanish like he's fucking with me at this point, guy who doesn't need to be fucked with right now after getting his car towed in malibu and is an hour and a half away from don't fuck with me. So I'm literally like you are a child. What are you doing? Like? What game is this like? What do you like? How the fuck do I get?
Speaker 2And then he said something about like malibu high school hung up whatever uber to malibu high school. Like okay, they have my car fucking detained in like a back parking lot. This is just the most like bunk ass setup. I'm like, how is this shit legal which I'm sure it's like randomly not, but I still have to pay them. So we get to the parking lot of malibu high school completely empty. There's like a trailer there and like a tent with probably like 15 to 20 employees just sitting on their fat asses. Okay, go up to the fucking trailer. Also, like they like built a little detainment center where I saw my car. I'm like I'm gonna fucking steal that, like I'm just gonna drive the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2And I go up to the lady and my girls reminded me to lead with love, to lead the love, because I wasn't being as loving on that last phone call. So I go up to this woman, this woman kidding, and so I'm like, hey, um, start out being pretty sweet, start out being pretty sweet, like hey, what do I kind of do here? Like I need my car, like I can't kind of live without it, type shit randomly, um, and I need it, like now, because if not, then I have to go uber back home and then I also won't have a car still, and then I'll have to go to the dmb without a fucking car you gotta see that here and then also have to get my car an hour away from me without a car, if that makes sense. Again willing to pay any fucking amount. And then she was like sorry, we actually can't do that. Like, no, you actually need your registration. No, you have, you have to go to the DMV. Yeah, fucking, got that part, we're past that.
Speaker 2I was like okay, well, I like genuinely didn't know that my registration was expired. Like could y'all have given me a fucking ticket? They did, they did, they gave me a ticket and they towed me. Great. And so I was like how the fuck Learn from my lesson if you ticket me and then tow me 30 minutes after which we later find out that the ticketing people call the towing company and they come and tow you immediately, which I appreciate. I was sweet.
Speaker 2And then she said I was like, I genuinely didn't know. I'm so sorry. Like, is there anything I can do? She said how long have you had your license? How long have I had my license? You're going to fucking do that. I'm right here saying I don't know what to do. I didn't know how long have I had my license, since I was a fucking 16-year-old bitch and I got myself a new car last year and I didn't know. Okay, like, if someone would have fucking told me, I would have gladly paid for it. And then we found out that, like, like, although my address through the DMV and my license is my current address, somehow my car is still on my old one. Okay, I have to go to the DMV with my current address. So I just it just went to the wrong address.
Speaker 2Anyways, I was rude to the woman and then she told me you have to stop being mean to me Again like I did. I need to practice what I preach. Guys, parking enforcement officers aren't the bad guys. Cut to me also, like the towing people, though I genuinely like don't feel bad being mean to them, because I'm like you are in the business of fucking people over. And also the second you said how long have you had your license? Oh, baby, I wish you didn't do that. Flip the switch anyways. Uber at home for 150 dollars, without my car, yeah. And also they were like hey, um, also, by the way, like if you don't pick up your car before noon tomorrow in santa monica, an hour away from you, then you are gonna get charged 140 for like the storage fee per day. Cool, also, it's called tip top towing. I got got fucking towed by tip top to towing.
Speaker 2Fuck, no, like, that's just like embarrassing to a level I'm like not comfortable with. And then like truly like no one, like all odds against us. The Uber driver on the way home was like giving us like more helpful information than anyone has ever helped with, which I'm like, baby, this is a private conversation, but like, if you are eavesdropping to give information, please by all, by all means, listen to every single word I'm saying. And obviously was just bitching the entire way. I'm like no, this is cool. Hey, yeah, awesome, yeah, I love this shit. And then he just would chime in and then I was like I'm again so sorry, I'm just like being such a bitch about this and complaining. But he was so understanding, he like gets me, so he told us we could go get it at this kiosk out of ralph's, which like doesn't make sense, whatever I try to do it.
Speaker 1Can't do it Great.
Speaker 2Then I call the tow company. Again, they're being dicks. And then they're like you can go to AAA, cool, we'll go to AAA. Go to AAA Location permanently closed, perfect, perfect. So then we go to a different AAA in Santa Monica an, figured out, we get it figured out. So then we go to the lot.
Speaker 2Again, I'm like out two grand by this point. Like I'm like money means fucking nothing at this point, like I don't have any say in this. Like what I'm like? No, I actually don't had to pay. Two tickets Somehow ended up being $400. I don't know.
Speaker 2On the fucking card, like do thing is, like I don't have a choice, you know. It's like also, like, oh, I wait a day or two. Okay, well, I owe $150 for my car to be held captive somewhere else. Like it's really a fucking losing battle. So that's why I was a dick to every employee. Honestly, I'm just like numb to everything at this point. Anyways, we go to the AAA second location Okay, like, it ended up working out after like an hour. Okay, perfect, we go to the compound, pay another $1,000. Cool Park illegally at the compound Also.
Speaker 2The entire time I'm driving my friend's car who recently told me that he also hasn't done his. He also has expired registration. Okay, anyways, we go to the compound pay amount of money, um, and then they like have my car like parked so fucking far in the back, like piled in, like it was like a fucking pile up. It looks like one of those bullshit, like you know, when you're playing like a game on your phone and then like the ad comes up and it's another game and it's like the car where it's like you have to un, un, move, you have to move all the cars so you can get your car out of the parking spot. I felt like that, but it wasn't fucking funny, it wasn't a game, and so I had to wait an additional 20 minutes to watch them try to get all these fucking cars.
Speaker 2Y'all have my car for like 12 hours. How the fuck did it get buried deep underneath there? And then I then, on cherry on top, like they had to write like my fucking cell number, I don't know, on my car with the sharpie. So it's like what the? So I'm like trying to get it off with like the winch, like the wiper shit at like gas stations obviously doesn't come off. Why am I the one having to scrub this shit off my letter, whatever I got towed.
Speaker 2It was horrible people kept saying, like started, go fund me, which like I'm not going to have y'all like raise money to pay, like my towing fees because I didn't pay my registration. I'm like obviously in a perfect world, fuck yeah, you guys would be paying for that and that sounds like something I shouldn't have to pay for, but y'all really don't need it. I do appreciate you guys like trying to get that shit off the ground. If someone makes it, obviously I'll take the money.
Speaker 1I'm kidding.
Speaker 2Please you don't send me money anyways, that's me getting towed if you follow me on Instagram. Sorry, you had to fucking follow along and you didn't have a choice. You really didn't have a choice, um, but truly if I post something on my story like an inconvenience.
say crazy shit on close friends
Speaker 2I immediately don't give a fuck, like I'm like, as soon as I make something into a joke, I just I'm like, okay, whatever it's, that's that happened. So it's funny now. I've been thinking about this recently, like close friends stories. I have a close friend story which, wait, why am I not on your close friend? Because I don't want you. I hate when, like you like will say something about a close friend story which I like don't talk about my close friends at all because, like I don't want anyone to make oh cool, this is, I'm finding out I'm not on your close friends. Why would you be? Everyone who's on my close friends story like deserves to be on my close friends story. I'm not looking for add-ons at this time.
Speaker 2There are some people who are being on their close friends feels like a punishment, like I'm like it's also like you will post like the most underwhelming shit on your close friends. Why can't your aunt see this? Like? Who are you trying to protect from seeing this like picture of your caesar salad at a nice restaurant? Like, don't make this sound like an exclusive first look. I don't give a fuck about this, even if this is on your regular story.
Speaker 2I'm like, if you're gonna have a close friend story, at least take advantage of the shit you're allowed to say in the comfort of your own story. Like I'm saying shit that like I would get in trouble. Like I, that's, that's my community, that is my inner circle. I'm saying shit in there that would get me in trouble if I said it on my regular story. I want that, that's what I want. I want to see again. It should be an element of likeiveness and, honestly, a little bit crude. Is that fucking bad to say I don't give a fuck about your Caesar salad on your main story, yet alone your close friend's story? And I'm pissed off that I clicked that green fucking circle to see the most underwhelming shit ever.
Speaker 2Just post it on your main story or don't post it. What do you mean? I don't fucking care. You have to be doing hard drugs. I'm kidding. Unless you're doing hard fucking drugs on your close friend story, I'd put on main. I'm kidding, but like my god also, I get added to someone's close friend story. If I ever added someone to my close friend story and they're like why the fuck am I on brett's close friend story? I'm, I'm heading out, I'm heading out, um, but I do feel like that, uh, with a good amount of people. I'm like I don't need to be here.
scabs
Speaker 2I don't need to be here and again just to see like the most boring shit of your life that you randomly didn't post on your real story. Like I you are. This is a punishment and I don't feel safe in this community because it's lame as fuck. So thank you. That's my close friend story rant. I do have a story that I don't know if I want to tell or not.
Speaker 2So I've had an overnight guest recently and we were asleep, or well, they were asleep and I was awake, couldn't sleep. You know it's scratching your back. Came across a scab. Came across a scab, started picking it. Sorry, is that bad? Is that bad? I see a fucking scab. I have to pick a scab. It's something I can't control. It's out of. Well, I didn't't y'all please. As I was saying, I started picking their scab shit you're allowed to do. By the way, they wake up. They wake up mid me trying to scrape like off their scab. What the fuck are you doing? Okay, first of all, don't ever talk to me like that, ever again, my fucking god. Second of all, let me finish. Um, so I lost scab picking privileges.
Speaker 3No, I didn't get a finish and well, like what if they woke up and they're like bleeding and you then have to explain like yeah, I, I picked your scab.
Speaker 2Well, I've tried to pick their scabs before, so they, like, aren't aware of this.
Speaker 1This feels like something that you would get from the other point of view of like I woke up to someone picking my scab. Am I the asshole?
Speaker 2Am I in the wrong for picking my situation ship scab? I don't think so, genuinely. I don't think so. Also, it's just like you know that, like I just can't help myself. It's the same like not, or what's the opposite of oral fixation, but who tactile? Tactile fixation? You're just saying shit, baby, but I love it anyways, it's the same. I'm just gonna use that as if it's a tactile fixation similar to I used to you know those like hand sanitizers, the pumps, and it would just have like a huge like build up. I would always have to like pick off that shit just because I was like, okay, first of all, if no one else is gonna fucking clean up around here, I will. But it'd be like at the grossest places like the dentist and shit like that, okay, I will clean her up. Um, similar to that. This tactile fixation is also works with scabs and it's not limited to just my scabs.
Speaker 3I will pick anyone's given the opportunity, my breath away in like a negative baby. I'm not taking your breath away, I'm taking your scabs away.
Speaker 2Just here for the scabs, don't mind me just picking a few scabs and I will head on out. Anyways, I don't think that's weird, Genuinely Like dead ass.
Speaker 1I think that this person would be in the right to end it with you, yeah.
Speaker 3Like if I woke up. I'm sorry, but if I'm spending the night at someone's place, I wake up to them picking a scab off of my body. That's normal.
Speaker 2Also, where you said waking up at someone's place my house, my fucking rules, my scabs Like, genuinely like, if you're in my house when you walk in that fucking door, you have to know that your scabs could be picked at any given moment.
Speaker 3Okay, but like what if you woke up and somebody had like a Q-tip in your ear cleaning it out?
Speaker 2that's so fucking sweet that I don't have to do that later. Perfect in every way. But picks your scabs. Yeah, smash, yeah, sounds hot as fuck. Anyways, you're allowed to pick your situation of scabs if you want.
talking in a movie theater
Speaker 2I don't follow the rules, like I am not. I wouldn't say I'm like a rule follower, you know. Hence me parking illegally all the fucking time, like I don't really care about rules, but the rules I do care about. I'm like these are fucking laws, these are laws, and one of them is talking in the movie theater. I whisper the entire fucking time, my friends, hysterical jokes, which you're allowed to do because I'm whispering. What do you mean? You're talking at normal fucking volume, having normal fucking volume conversations with people during the movie. Do you have no fucking shame, my god? They're like seven infomercials that are like please put your phone away, don't talk, don't text y'all, don't fucking listen. And again, like I don't give a shit about laws I don't give a shit about. I don't care about laws, I don't care about rules. I don't care about laws, I don't care about rules. I don't care about cops I don't care about. You can be a dick to towing people as well, but I'm like you are like you talking is like ruining an experience for someone else and I don't fuck with that. That's selfish behavior.
Speaker 2These people two people, came into Fantastic Four 45 fucking minutes late. Baby, I lost my phone and my friends and had to pay out of pocket for a ticket and I still got here on time. What do you mean? You're 45 fucking minutes like, whatever, I don't care, just come, take your fucking seat. They come and sit by us talking at normal volume. What do you mean? You're 45 minutes late. You need to be fucking sneaking in here. I bet I shouldn't even hear you like, take a step. Meanwhile they're having a good, normal conversation. Okay, I also. If you're talking in a movie theater, I will stare at you, I will, I don't care, like you are the one talking at a normal volume.
Speaker 2There's a fucking movie that we've all paid 25 to be here at, which is also fucking nuts. You get a popcorn. That's. You're in the triple digit somehow with your spendings anyway, shut the fuck up. So these people are talking. And then they were like moving seats. Baby, you were 45 minutes late. Sit fucking wherever, it does not matter at all, we are past that. You're in no one seats. You are the last people in this theater.
Speaker 2They're standing up like having a conversation about like where they're gonna go, and then they go like two rows down across the entire aisle and then they're standing on the other side, like still talking at normal volume. What do you fucking mean? Do you not see fantastic four and 3d, right fucking in front of you, like this shit is sacred, shut the fuck up. So I'm gonna start ratting people out. I'm dead ass. Like actually I'm gonna start calling people out in 3D, right, fucking in front of you, like this shit is sacred, shut the fuck up. So I'm gonna start ratting people out. I'm dead ass. Like actually I'm gonna start calling people out. You don't need to be kicked out, I just wanna rip you a new asshole.
AMC A-lister
we've seen weirder
Speaker 2No, I'll get you kicked out If you see more than one movie a month. Get the A-Lester thing Like you're just stupid. It's not a flex, you're dumb. But again, it's like insane where it's like if you pay 22, you can see four movies a week. There aren't even four fucking movies out right now. What do you mean? I'm not gonna see some bunk ass. I mean I did just see fan. I'm like I'm gonna see good shit only like fantastic four in 3d, like fuck. I do want to talk about the movie together that I just recently saw. They had like disclaimers for this movie like I was gonna be like in an asylum. After it was just like a normal fucking movie. Like there was that thing where they said they're offering a free therapy for whoever sees it.
sweating my a** off in H14
Speaker 2The first week I'm fine. I feel like we had recliner seats for two seconds and now they're all just shitty again. Like what happened to that? Like I feel like there was like a two month period where I was like, wait, this shit's nice. And now I'm like did y'all just get rid of that? Or like why is my back fucking aching the entire time? Also, movie theaters used to be cold as fuck, like I genuinely would be wearing like a hoodie, a puffer, a linen button-up. Now I'm having to roll up my fucking sweatpants up to like past my knees, which is so embarrassing. Like damn bitch, you sweat that fucking much. Yeah, I guess now I do Along with the shitty-ass seats. It's also it's a fucking pressure cooker in here. Guess, now I do along with the shitty ass seats. It's also it's a fucking pressure cooker in here.
Speaker 2I went to like a premiere for this movie the other day and I had to just roll up my like dress pants all the way past my knees because it was so warm, which is obviously just like, so fucking embarrassing. Like my god, my fucking sweaty ass like. But like also like you y'all should be icing this place out like that's one place that should be so fucking cold. Same with airplanes like I need to be so fucking cold on an airplane in a movie theater, everything else you can gas this out on, but like those two things, I'm already like just sweating due to like anxiety and shit. Like I need to be like put out temperature wise. They're just like so.
clapping for nicole kidman
Speaker 2Like y'all ruin everything, people ruin everything. Like we have something fun for a second and then it gets overdone and it just like immediately ruined. And then like the nicole kidman amc thing, if you're still clapping during that, baby, you are so fucking unfunny. If you're like a potty we've where have you been the last two years? Like we had that that came and went. Like we, we can just actually close, we can just sit quietly. Now we got it. Oh my god it's.
nothing but hate for labubus
Speaker 2It's so crazy that nicole kidman's in this yeah we've, we've made that joke to fucking completion ad nauseum. Let's just, let's just call it a wrap, like if you're still thinking that's funny, like you don't have a pulse on what's funny anymore. Also, I'll just briefly get into lububuus. I like there are some things that I'm like this is so well liked by the general public that I feel like I can't even talk about it because you guys will freak the fuck out. Luckily, renee rap was just like very publicly talks about lububus, so I can maybe like lightly do it like y'all are so hard to root for.
am i in the wrong??
Speaker 2I'm so sorry. It's like you guys like. Seeing just the fucking masses come together over these fuck ass little like chew toys is crazy. Oh, it looks so cute on the back. No, you just ruined a designer bag with this fuck ass little beanie bitch. Maybe I'm just so like. No, like, if everyone's doing something, it's fucking lame and I'm actually probably like so uncool for that. Actually, I know If you're putting a stuffed animal on the side of a bag, you are lame as fuck. Like. I'm so sorry, like, even just like with like the phone jewelry. You don't need to have like a full, fucking like beaded bracelet on your phone. It's also just like wow, it's so cool to see our entire community be brainwashed by these little fuckers. Like something like what is in a labubu. That makes y'all go fucking insane. It wouldn't be a Dialing In With Rhett episode without an. Am I in the Wrong? All right, all right. My illiterate ass is going to read the. Am I in the Wrong? Am I in the wrong for not letting a couple sit together to watch a movie?
Speaker 2My family and I went to the movies on christmas day. This was when I was still willing to put up with the first come, first serve seating, since I am super picky about where I sit. We go early, still the place is jammed. I am seated off center from where I would have liked. I left a seat between myself and the person to my right. To my left was my dad, brother, mom empty aisle seat. The theater is packed. There are individual empty seats but no groups. I am thankful I insisted we come early.
Speaker 2A couple enters. They look around them hi, can you move over spot? I look left at my family. They are getting coats stuffed together to accommodate the request, but I don't want to move one. I'm already more off-center than I'd like. This will give the rest of the family worse seats, unless they were planning on making out during a crowded Christmas day showing of inception. They don't need to sit together.
Speaker 2In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit tardiness plus disrupting films, even trailers are my pet peeve. I look at the couple and say no them. Seriously, you can't just move one seat so we can sit together. I calmly but firmly, but I've been sitting there 15 minutes. I am not moving and there are other seats available. They get loud. I dig it and my family is whispering. It's no big deal and I'm horrified I'm causing a scene. The couple sees this and storms off to sit separately in the front row, but not before screaming at me across the theater that I am a fucking asshole. I wish them a happy holidays. Funny, on the ride home my family asked what the fuck was that about, and I'm annoyed. They were so ready to give up our spots.
Speaker 2Am I in the wrong? Like as someone who shows up? It's like okay, I, I could see myself being both of these people. It's hard to say because it's like okay, yeah, like you showed up early. Like get your fucking flowers, girl. But like also at the end of the day, like are you just gonna like separate a couple at the movie theaters?
Speaker 2Like I get, if it's you're on a plane, if you're on a plane and someone asks you to move and you're fucking, they're fucking you over. Like oh, now I don't have like a window seat, or now I'm sitting middle. Like you can get fucked, you can choke in a movie theater. I'm like is it really that serious? Like I get you got there early, oh, congrats. Like who fucking cares? Like oh, cool, you just got to sit through 45 minutes of previews. Like that's actually you're done for that. Yeah, I feel like I personally would have just been like kind of shady and been like, yeah, I guess I can move again, like you're still sitting with your family, like you can fucking move. Like also, like, oh, do y'all really need a makeout during inception? No, but like if I had to sit by myself at a movie, I would leave and I'm going to show up late too.
Speaker 2I also, again, don't know this fuck ass like southwest style. Like come as you are, come like early if you want a good. I hate the like. I don't know actually. I ass like southwest style. Like come as you are, come like early if you want a good. I hate the like. I don't know. Actually, I was gonna say I hate the like not assigned seats. I like them when it works out in my favor, but when it doesn't, I'm like just fucking tell us where to sit. I do think it is crazy that couple like called you an asshole, I think, but also like show up. I don't know. See this, it goes back to like the me being like sometimes I'm like following, like really follow the rules, and other times I'm like y'all, it's just a fucking film, it's just, it's just fucking fantastic 4 and 3d.
Speaker 2Like, move your fucking ass, just move. Actually, yeah, you are in the wrong, just fucking move. Like it's a movie theater. Obviously people are so fucking incompetent and you have to deal with like dumb ass bitches every single time you step out in public. But, like, is your seat that far? Oh, now I'm going to be one to the left. You are going to be like it's the same exact fucking view. It's not like. The view is like completely different.
Speaker 2And also, you're still sitting with your family. Like if they were splitting up your family, then that would be a different story. Like you guys will also be together and they will be able to sit together. Like you can move. You can move, you're fine, oh, but I, I showed up to the movie early. Oh, ken, fuck, congratulations, your type a ass showed up on time. Oh, I'm sure you print out the fucking tickets too. Like, who cares? Just move. Let me dial her in. Hi, how are you Good? I heard about the whole little movie incident. That's crazy. Oh my God, they showed up late. Oh my God, I can see how that'd be so frustrating. Oh my God, but you still would have been able to sit with your entire family, yeah, and they would have also been able to sit together. Oh, but you'd have to move one seat to the left and see the same exact fucking view. Oh my god, that's crazy.
Speaker 2Yeah, you're in the wrong. Why do you care so much? It's a fucking movie. If you care so much, just watch the movie at home and the cover of your own home. If you're gonna throw a fucking fit about it, like, truly, you're so fine. Also, it's christmas. You're trying to separate this couple on christmas day. That's mean. So I'm sorry they did cuss you out, though that's unfortunate. They shouldn't have done that. That's mean. But again, you were in the wrong. So, yay, all right, bye. It was a guy, it was a guy, it was a guy, it was a guy actually. So, was a guy, it was a guy, it was a guy actually. So yeah, like you're fine, like genuinely like it is not that deep. There are things that like aren't deep at all that I make very fucking deep. This one, let's not make too deep, just move. Anyways, am I in the wrong? That's it, that's it.
Speaker 2I also like this kind of goes into like. I hate when people are like weird about seats, even bigger than like like, even when I'm like going to a movie with, like my friend group and there's like seven of us and it's like, oh, we have the top whole row and you're like just kind of like you know, herding into your spots where it's like, okay, we're just gonna walk up. Oh wait, sorry, I'm actually, I'm actually c18 bitch. This is our friend group, sit, sit, I'm not doing, I'm not getting up because it's like, well, I technically, I technically ordered just sit your ass down. It's not that deep, I don't give a fuck. We bulk order this. The only time I feel like seating actually matters is on a plane, and then you can be a dick about it.
dialing in an AMC employee
Speaker 2If you're going to see a movie at the fucking like AMC, like you are going to be, so okay, today we are dialing in an AMC employee. I first of all just like am pissed that we have to show our IDs. I feel like that's so fucking insane, like that's the battle we're going to choose to fight. I feel like that's so fucking insane, like that's the battle we're gonna choose to fight. Also, like I bring in a bag. Every single time goes unchecked. But I swear to fuck if you guys are using the wrong amca lister. I and some people don't ask, so I'm like the people who do. Are you just a fucking narc? What's the deal with that?
Speaker 2Also like working at a movie theater feels like so like there's an element of like backroomness to it that, like you know, when like everyone leaves, like being at a movie theater when everyone's not there is so strange. Also, like you'll have to clean up all of our shit. I never know. Like obviously someone comes and cleans after every single showing. Are we allowed to leave our trash or is that like a dick move? Like obviously y'all are coming in to clean up after us, but like, should I just? I probably should just which I do just take my trash. But then I always have a moment where I'm like, but like they're, they're coming to pick it up, but then I guess I'm like also making their lives easier.
Speaker 2Like okay, also, do they get to see free, unlimited free movies? They get free snacks. Also, like bitches be talking during movies. Are y'all going to kick them out or are you just going to let them stay? And also, do I have to get my fat, sweaty ass up from my seat not recliner to go and tell on them, because that's just like I don't want to be a narc.
Speaker 2Can I that? Just like I don't want to be a narc, can I start just like citizens arresting people, bringing them out to you? Hey, this, this guy gotta go. Let's dial in an amc employee and see what they have to say and see if they're one of the narcs. Actually, I was gonna say I hope they're one who's not a narc. I actually would love to talk to a narc too. So dial in an amc employee like fuck it, sure should we just get right into it. Yeah, okay, so you, are you a current amc employee or are you a former amc employee? I am a current employee, okay, do you like it? Soon to be four? Okay, so I assume you don't like it.
Speaker 4Yeah, we've had we have just like new management, and ever since then things kind of have been the same.
Speaker 2Um. Are you someone who checks ids for a listers? Be honest with me, baby. No, okay, do they like really push that like or like? Why is that like personal choice? Because I feel like some people are just like I don't care and some people it's like it's. It feels like almost, it's like scary.
Speaker 4Um, I think it just depends sometimes on, like the people that work there, the amount of times I've had people get mad at me because I've asked them for their id so I just stopped pick and choose your battles.
Speaker 2It's crazy no offense that y'all like check ids but like you don't check bags anymore, which is crazy. Where it's like that, where we would rather have, like, someone bring in maybe a loaded gun than have someone duplicate come in to see a movie that someone else is paying for, I agree. Also, do you kick people out of movies and how many warnings do you give them before you're out of here?
Speaker 4We do have a lot of instances where we have to kick out groups of kids or just people that are drunk and disorderly.
Speaker 2I am someone who enjoys having maybe an edible before I go to the movie. How often do you clock people for being, you know, under the influence, going to the movies, because I'm sure I look just stoned when I walk in, kidding All day, every day.
Speaker 4Okay, I can smell it off of you or I can see when you're ordering and you're just like, uh, like, there's not many options guys.
Speaker 2Also, like I, we don't even like really need to get into it, cause it's like I mean, this is just the fucking economy we live in, but, like, what the hell is with popcorn prices? Like I can't like what do you mean? It's $25? That's insane.
Speaker 4Um, actually the reason for that is because that is because we make most of our money through concessions. The money from the tickets and the movies go right back to the companies and we get our paycheck, like through concessions and stuff. The amount of times I have like older guests, like old people, they'll come in and complain and they'll be like back in my day popcorn was 75 cents. I'm like well'll be.
Speaker 2Like back in my day popcorn was 75 cents. I'm like, well, yeah, back in your day we didn't have cars, so shit's different. Like do people like hook up a lot in movies and like, have you ever had to like break a couple up for like hooking up in it?
Speaker 4yeah, I've heard stories of that happening.
Speaker 2We've also found evidence of ew, so that's very fun ew yeah, you would think you would think people have to at least do it in the car. But yeah, jesus, how like deeply do you guys ever clean the seats? Or is it just like it's? You take it as is we're supposed to do you okay? So you guys don't clean the seats, that's okay.
Speaker 4I just I assumed you did it, unless there's like something that spilled in it and I also think it depends because our my theater has, like the regular stadium, cloth seats.
Speaker 2I know other places have like leather seats stuff like that I also like I know y'all come in and like I, I'm a good guy, you know that, and I like clean up my trash. But then every single time I'm like getting up I'm like should I just leave this, because I know someone's coming in just say like yeah, let's all just like clean up after ourselves to make everyone's jobs and lives easier. I say, yeah, clean up after yourself, all right, yeah.
Speaker 4I will. You brought in that trash, you know. Yeah, especially when people sneak in other food.
Speaker 2What's the weirdest thing you've seen someone sneak in? Usually if we catch somebody sneaking in, we we get them out okay. I mean, I did bring in a 12 inch philly cheesesteak one time and I ate it to completion, and I was in the front row which, like I, I'm, didn't have dinner, so it's like that's fine but, like, if other people are doing it, what the hell? Like, just buy the 46 popcorn. What's the most insane experience you've had working at the movie theaters? Um, somebody died what? Yeah, did you?
Speaker 4what? Yeah, sorry, that was kind of crazy.
Speaker 2No, I love that. How old were they like elderly or yeah, they were okay don't care, I'm kidding did you just find the dead body? Did someone find the dead body or was it like? No, hey, by the way, um, someone died in h13. When you get a chance. She slipped and fell and oh my god yeah, it didn't end well I mean it ended with death. So I mean, couldn't have gone much worse. Do you know what movie it was?
Speaker 4not that like really matters, but just like no it was like it was probably like a year or two ago too when it happened.
Speaker 2It was a while ago I just saw fantastic four in 3d and I was like I can't even imagine if I passed in that movie, like imagine explaining to my family that I died in Fantastic Four in 3D. Oh, did you work for Barbenheimer weekend? Oh, yes, I was there for Barbenheimer.
Speaker 4I was there for Mario. That was crazy and you were. It was a lot of grown adults, but the mess.
Speaker 2Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous who do you think is like the? Is that are the kids that are the messiest, or like as adults?
Speaker 4I feel like with adults they're messy on purpose.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's like you know better, like you're kind of being a piece of shit like kids. It's like you are like obviously, just like so stupid, you have no idea what's going on, so it's like fine, but like adults are like you know, you know what you're doing is wrong. Do you ever upgrade someone's popcorn just because you think they're hot? Because I feel like if I worked at a movie theater, I would just pretty much bend all the rules if anyone hot approached me. Um, I had free popcorn and people that like can't afford it oh, I mean, that's way sweeter than god.
Speaker 2I'm like sorry. Every single time I'm about to ask a question I just think about like the secretions on the seats that I can't. Do you get unlimited movie passes or no?
Speaker 4we do get um like one a day one a day is crazy.
Speaker 2I'm like you have six movies out in theaters and like two of them are like horrible. Um wait, are there like hidden cameras in the movie theaters? Like are y'all y'all like watching us or are we kind of on our own?
Speaker 4we're not allowed to. There's not allowed to be cameras in the theaters, but I think we should have them kind of. Yeah, like y'all can watch me if you're protecting me and also, like, maybe, kicking out some bad guys, that's what I'm saying, like I think it's smart and I think a reason we don't have it is because, like we can't film the movie but like just have it facing the guest.
Speaker 2Right, okay, like from, just like a, just an individual, like, not even like as an employee. If someone is talking loudly during a movie, what would you do?
Speaker 4Honestly, I at me personally it depends, like, if they're like being loud and obnoxious, I'm saying something to them and if they're continuing, then I'm getting somebody.
Speaker 2What are you?
Speaker 4saying to them first round Can you be quiet please? That's good If they want to start getting attitude, then, yeah, I'm going to say something to an employee and they'll kick them out.
Speaker 2Y'all need to have like kind of like a hotline, because like obviously I don't want to like walk out and come back like with an employee, because then I look like a narc. But like if I could just like text someone like, hey, h13 needs to get the fuck out of here. They have a horrible attitude and are talking very loud, like I would definitely opt into that. But I also don't want to be like like they're getting yelled at and I'm like kind of standing behind like yeah, yeah, what what they said? Um, but I do want to start kicking everyone out of the movies if possible.
Speaker 4We've had people call us like from the movie theater. They'll call like.
Speaker 2Yeah, that makes sense, yeah.
Speaker 4People in here. Can you come get them? So you could do that.
Speaker 2What's the most annoying thing? That people complain to you about Prices.
Speaker 4Okay, People thinking that the popcorn's not fresh. People will complain that sometimes the soda machine will like spit out the syrup because we have like the freestyle machines, so it's like like you're so fucking fine like no, literally, literally, um, people will complain that the chips and the nachos aren't warm enough what is like?
Speaker 2what age of people would you say complain the most like? Is it like younger people or older people? When you're saying this, I'm like I can only imagine someone over 65 plus saying all these things yes, and younger, like people like in their 20s, 30s, literally anybody but it is like crazy to complain to you about prices.
Speaker 2Like, baby, I didn't choose for the popcorn to be $25. What is something you want just the general public to know about AMC employees? Like a takeaway for the dumbasses who listen to my podcast Getting y'all are great, but just moving forward, like what should we know about AMC employees?
Speaker 4Remember you're not at home of your surroundings um in terms of like your volume and just being I don't know heavy on the volume thing because again I'm I'm gonna start fucking snitching.
Speaker 2I'm calling, now that I know that's an option. I'm gonna be calling pretty much every single movie I go to. I'm just gonna send a list of the seats that I need gone and please, no fucking on the seats, like truly like they don't get cleaned, they don't plain and fucking simple. Just don't. No secretions, no spills, please, and silence. Silence is fucking golden.
Speaker 2It's also my dream in life is to be, you know, the like coca-cola commercial. That's just like so stupid and like it's like what are you? What are you even trying to fucking say here? I really want to book a amc commercial. So, just like all of my exes, no matter what they do, any single time they go to an amc movie, they see my big fat ass, um, so if you have any connections for that, I would love to kind of make that happen here shortly. Thank you so much for taking this call. I'm so sorry that people are messy and also fucking on your property like that's none of your business, um, and I hope you get out shortly. Sorry about management, by the way, fuck. Amc will continue to go, though, and I am an a-lister, so I will, they will, can keep getting my like consistent check. I am like planning on having sex in the theater. You're chill with that, right? I mean as long as I don't see you, okay, cool, yay, yay, yay, and I'm gonna bring a ton of outside food.
Speaker 2So yes okay, all right, bye, love you. Anyways, that was an amc employee. I am like I it's gonna be hard for me to go back to the movies, thinking about the fact that they don't clean the seats. But also I'm like, yeah, they like that fucking checks, and I'm not going to a movie because I think it's clean. Also, just put cameras in there. I would feel more comfortable if you put cameras in the in the movie theaters and fuck it, chuck my bag. You can have the cliff bar that I was trying to sneak in. Fuck it, take it, take my fucking, take my philly cheesesteak. I don't care, I'd rather be safe than sorry. No, like, truly, like all these calls, that like message is like just be sweet and like it's gonna be worth it. Okay, well, I still am gonna be a dick sometimes, like I'm not just gonna completely change who I am, um, anyways yeah that's great.
let's be mindful
Speaker 2Never going to movie, ever again. Kidding I am and I'm fucking and I'm fucking. Um, it is funny like every single person we've called in for the most part is like yeah, yeah, I'm going to quit soon. Yeah, I would too. That makes sense, but it's good to get them before they go out and I like it, like them like about to leave. So it's like fuck it, I'll say anything. Anyways, yeah, mc employee, cool, I'm fucking hysterical, I'm kidding, I, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2I love doing bits. It's my favorite thing. Um, I'm always in character, I'm always doing bits, um, kind of making everyone laugh and shit like that. So I was gonna run through some of my favorite bits that I have been doing right now. So one that we've been loving recently is like the friend who's weird about you like touching their shit, which obviously, like I don't care about any of my stuff, like any of my friends can borrow any of my shit at any given time. I, the friend who's weird about you like touching their shit, which obviously, like I don't care about any of my stuff, like any of my friends can borrow any of my shit at any given time. I literally don't care at all, but I love being like if someone's like, oh, like, can I have like a drink of your water, and you're like, uh, yeah, sorry, I'm just like I'm like weird about like sharing shit.
Speaker 2Sorry, no, I just like this is actually it's not landing in the way you guys don't get it. It's funny, or in person let me give an example.
Speaker 1The other day my phone was in the center console of your car and you moved it and you're like sorry, I'm just weird about shit in my center console so I just like get overwhelmed easily and like all of your shit, just like in my fucking way.
Speaker 2ah, it's just. It's like sorry. I just like, oh my god, sorry. I'm just like weird with like people like borrowing my shit and it just like stresses me out a little bit and I'm not trying to be a dick, it's just like holy fucking shit, like what's the other one Mindful, let's be mindful about.
Speaker 2I love saying like, let's like. I feel like saying let's be mindful about is like the most, it's just like a fucking shot and like it's just like the meanest, rudest thing you could say to someone in a very passive, aggressive way.
