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

[BillyBats]

I’m a Garbage Laborer for city of Chicago. Thank you for uploading this. One of the most unappreciated jobs in the world.

[JoBlakeLisbon]

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.

[bmxcme]

Talking about garbage for 3 hrs. More entertaining and informative than network media all week.

[Anonymous..]

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.

[nikpinet]

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

[christophercastor]

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.

[averyhearn]

This guy is a natural at the pod cast. Seems like he’s been here for 50 episodes. Genuinely a nice pod cast to watch

[juanbenavides]

Regular folk episodes are far and away the best ones. So smart of Theo and his team. No one else is doing this !

[angelavila]

Theo Von is the only person I know that can have a 2 hour conversation about garbage with a garbage man. This is legit fascinating 🙏🏼💯

[tibbs]

"The deer are swimming over from Jersey"
Theo: "why, they hate it over there?" 💀

[Gabehorn-]

I did 5 years as an officer in the Army. This guy is way more deserving of being thanked for his service. Crazy how many dudes like this just silently make our world run. Cheers.

[prshr]

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

[joshprout]

What a cool dude. Thanks for showing the normal side of the country Theo. These are better than celebrities interviews

[slaphead]

Theo understands what most other Podcasters don’t. Every day average people can turn out to be extraordinarily interesting and entertaining guests. This garbageman is definitely one of them.

[Automedon]

Great guest. You weren't wrong when you said "thank you for your service". It's guys like this who really ARE the reason for our quality of life. Way to go, Wayne!

[EritreanChic]

People from New York really know how to tell a story. Great conversationalist.

[SeboltLawnLandscape]

Dude these are the best interviews. Regular people are so much more fun to listen to than a celeb whos trying too hard to come off a certain way.

[torquesteer]

I’m a garbage man myself and I love that you are using your platform to shine a light on our lives! Thank you Theo! ❤

[CalebErosa]

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.
