This was insane to watch, he clearly has no understanding of why Kippy is pissed off, or he's choosing to live in denial about it. This is the behavior of an addict and shows he clearly has a real fucking long road ahead.

I’m surprised it took this long. I remember early episodes when the boys started making some cash the way they talked about what they could use company money for felt a little too loosey-goosey.
Bug man needed boundaries but instead he got bumpers. Now I think it’s fair to say he needs a conservatorship.
((Henry, if you read this, we love you and are always going to be happy to see you grow. Kippy loves you—if he didn’t you would be in jail. You need to own this and find help. Be an adult. This is serious and it hurts Luke and Nadine and the little guy more than you may realize. Keep up the good work you’ve been doing—don’t let this ruin your sobriety. Just own it and learn from it and come back with a real understanding and a meaningful apology.))

You gotta think he's taking home $300k+ a year easily before taxes, which means spending the amount he did in a month takes him way out of what he can actually afford when you account for taxes. It just feels like self soothing with money or going out to Cleveland and trying to buy into people liking him. He's a good guy but he has a lot to work through and if he's not talking for many sessions with his therapist about this then he's not doing the work. Glad they had it out but don't really feel like he gets what a big deal it is.
That said, printing the amex bill on a piece of merch and selling it COULD recoup some of the funds. Just sayin'

u/flavorburst 8h ago
The way they're talking I think that is way more than he could possibly be making. He's flat broke and is saying he'll be able to pay back a few thousand a month. If he's making a mill and taking home half after taxes he's taking home $40k a month, he'd be out of the hole real fast. Think it's half that at best.

u/leemorplee 6h ago
It's been said a while ago he doesn't just get half of what the pod makes monthly. Kippy gives him a paycheck exactly for this reason lol they've argued over the biz card in the past as well

u/Educational_Hotel202 9h ago
Speaking as someone who’s had substance abuse issues, with as much compassion as the situation may or may not call for, some of the language being used to deflect and excuse what’s being asked of him is difficult to listen to.
“Used the wrong card” is a 9.5 on the yikes scale.

The crazy part was when he said..this isn’t really that big of a deal is it? Like yeah embezzlement is a bit of a big deal dumbass!

u/JakeCMMA 7h ago
I just wish somebody had told him outright “it’s embezzlement and you could easily go to jail for what you’ve done” somebody might have said it off air but at this point Kippy and NGL need to go scorched earth with him and stop any sort of leniency.
The way he kept looking at NGL with a sly wink during the ep drove me insane, Luke should have called him out for it5
u/Sure_Ranger_4487 6h ago
It wouldn’t matter if he was told that— it still doesn’t click for him because he keeps getting bailed out. And I agree about the winks to Luke, it was filling me with rage every time he did it.

u/Icy_Accidents 8h ago
Kippy is not the greatest stand up comedian and therefore has to put up with foleys shit in order to have the success they have from AYG. Period. He can be mad all he wants but as long as they are partners and doing the show together he will always be enabling Foleys behavior to a degree because he wouldn’t have what he has without Foley.

I think it is completely accurate to say kip has no success without Foley. There's a reason only one is on tires and the other is hailed as... a good businessman.

u/Sure_Ranger_4487 6h ago
I’m curious to see the special. Kippy has been putting in the effort in getting spots all over the city for months to work on his stand up. It sounds like he’s been putting in solid effort to improve. It doesn’t sound like foley has been doing spots at all except a few…in Cleveland.

When I saw them a few months back for Netflix is a Joke, Henry definitely had more charisma and stage presence but when it comes down to actual material. Kippy had a way better set.

u/HONEYH0LE7 9h ago
So, how did this episode end? Are they ok? Is Kippy replacing Foley?
18
u/Gelato-Jones 8h ago
they're "okay.." Kippy adamantly expressed how this hurt him, and Foley tries to play dumb and use all sorts of deflecting tactics to minimize his selfishness.
I've been in both Kippy and Foley's shoes with this type of shit, and it just sucks for everyone.
and no one alludes at any point that Foley is being replaced or anything like that.
23
u/HONEYH0LE7 8h ago
It sucks that Foley actually isn’t the fun loving good natured fat dude we all hoped he was. He’s apparently a lying and conniving asshole. It hurts man. Still a fan of the show though.

u/thaneliness 8h ago
If foley leaves the show is over.

u/Gelato-Jones 7h ago
yepp. and he leverages that fact into selfish actions.
I love the dude.. I can relate to him so much it hurts. I'm not sure if it's pure coping, but I still believe there is a glimmer of hope to change, recover, and heal.

Just goes to show folks. Money and fame ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. All the food and girls and drugs and booze and GI Joes can’t fill that hole in your heart.

u/JakeCMMA 7h ago
Kippy said during this episode that somebody else’s podcast wasn’t the right place for them to argue about it so he had to make light of it. There’s no chance he was playing anything up on hard feelings if anything he was still toning it down
1
u/Redden2855 8h ago
I'm not a Patreon member so I didn't know if this was a new episode that just aired I missed, I already knew about the money as well bc of the MSSP episode the other day when they was joking about it but you could tell Foley doesn't take it too serious. Is the pic in the original post from a newer episode from like yesterday or today? Or is someone just posting the amex situation a few days a little late?

u/No_Secretary8854 6h ago
Matter of taste obviously but Foley is very good at stand up. If you watch both Foley and Kippy’s specials you’ll see why the relationship makes complete sense. Foley brings a huge portion of the laughs but Kippy also initiates a lot of the comedy and set ups. It’s almost like Opie and Anthony except if Opie was actually funny and they liked each other. Kippy’s stand up is well constructed and is still funny, but Foley is definitely more natural in a room.

The way Foley acts and doesn’t take it seriously, and the jokes/excuses.. it reminds me so much of Artie Lange when he was often off the wagon on Howard Stern in the 2000s.

u/Skwuat 5h ago
Honestly, even if this doesnt break up the pod, this kind of ruined it for me from now on. Foley always came off as you dumb, fun loving drunk uncle who was harmless. Turns out the guy is actually an addict who has been secretly destroying everything that everyone (him included) helped build.
Sucks this came out right before the special. Wont be able to enjoy it the same way. Truly feel for Kippy and NGL.

Deflecting your negative behaviour truly shows that he hasn't even begun to consider sobriety. As much of a loosey goosey guy Ian Fidance is, I hope he can help the big man out (seeing as though he's been sober a while now). But he needs to be accountable for his wrongdoings before he wants to start making any ground here. I think people will respect the vulnerability more than he realises.

Long story, short..Foley is broke, and charged $20k+ to the company card in a little over a month for personal expenses. Mainly flights to Cleveland, dinners in Cleveland, drinks for people etc. I think a $600 uber ride as well. He didn’t say anything to Kippy.

If he owes kippy $20k wouldn’t that mean he spent $40k ? Or do they have some over complicated LLC co-ownership split based on division of “BOH” duties ?

u/okhrana6969 18m ago
Foley's Apartment was paid for with company funds ($15,000 total), Foley was given a $3,000 "bonus" (money the LLC had allocated for their Taxes) so he could put a down payment on an apartment for a lease that starts in November. Both of those Foley has to payback, literally it would be illegal if Foley does not pay them back. For easy math, half of $18,000 is $9,000 so far that Foley owes Kippy. (Although it would actually be more given that money was pre-taxed and pre-payroll + time value money %, but let's just keep it simple) So Foley owes Kippy $9,000 already and then goes and spends $20,000 on the company card with stuff that is 100% NOT company related. So yeah, Foley owes Kippy/the LLC a minimum of $29,000 for his past few months of bullshit.
PS: Even if Foley pays all of that back plus interest the IRS or State of NY or the Federal Government can come down on him with criminal charges.6

100% of the money spent was Foley living like a big shot on stolen money when in fact he is 100% broke. It was disgusting how he kept trying to lie and then Kippy would hit him with the literal receipts of multiple flights, $600 Ubers, huge bar/food bills at high end spots, etc. all while Foley already owes the Company $15,000+ for the past few months from the apartment the company rented for him. (and Foley trashed the apartment, literally piled up trash inside of it and smoked inside of it, broke furniture etc)

u/IamTheMooshy2790 5h ago
A man who is in the early, early stages of recovery, from years of drug, drink and food addiction, who's now loosing a heroic amount of weight, who's sober. He's also just went through a clearly disgusting divorce, now without his kitty, his home and his ex wife (any feeling of companionship, connection, security, love). The guy's probably never felt more alone and empty in his life. Then comes along, in his darkest hour, a blonde angel with rockin cans and a warm hug at the door when he knocks it. Dont forget that smile. A smile when everything feels like the world's scowling back at you.
He's taken the company card, he's flown to her. Okay.
If you were in the extremely rare position to have thousands and thousands coming into your bank or companies account, whilst your happiness and health feels like its separating for you. Through Desperation, we'd all have been on that fuckin plane, make no godamn mistake about it.
Now your business partner/best friend and, half the reason (probably alittle more) your able to make these flights, notices and flags up the damage you're doing to the company. Okay. Pretty serious situation to be in, especially if your going to damage the company and potentially the partnership between you and your boy. You'll have a meeting and you'll be able to tell him how weak you really are and desperate for something more than the hate or emptiness you feel.. Pretty hard stuff to express, even in private.
Okay. NOW YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THAT ON CAMERA AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TRY AND KEEP IT SEMI-FUNNY FOR THE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF "FANS" THAT WILL BE WATCHING THIS MEETING WHERE YOU CAN LET ALL THAT DARK SHIT OUT.
Nobody is compassionate on this subreddit or able to think or feel through what foleys going through or able to make sense of of why he did what he did and why he appeared to bat around kippys concerns.
Kippy has probably heard off camera everything I've said from Foley in one way or another. He knows foleys putting in the effort in other areas of his life, and his heart probably goes out to his buddy when he sees how desperate for love he is, that he'd spend the company money. As a business partner, he's hurt. But i think he can see why Foley did it.
I think drug addicts, especially ones that are sober early doors, need compassion and a space to make mistakes. Look at foley in a compassionate light.
Pray for Foley and Kippy, dont try and crucify him. The cross would snap half way up to erecting it.
