Hello.

It's me, Andy Richter.

This is the Andy Richard Collin Show.

And it's my first live episode of this thing here on Conan O'Brien Radio.

I'm Very excited.

I feel like a big grown-up radio man.

Or I guess a radio boy, more like it.

And I have such, I'm so lucky to have such a great guest here with me today, a great guest host.

Mr. Phil Rosenthal is here. And because of this scam he's got

running where he goes places and people feed him, we are going to be talking today about a restaurant

and service industry stories, whether they, you were a customer, whether you're a waiter,

you're a waiter, you're a host, whatever, we want to hear that kind of dirt.

Did you ever work in a restaurant?

I did. I was a waiter for a number of years, yeah, during college and then a little bit

after too. Yeah. And I was, you know, that's pretty good. But it's an awful job. I tried bartending. Yeah. I wasn't very good. I managed a deli though for a year on the Upper East Side Manhattan. It's still there at the deli, PJ Bernstein's. Wow. And wow, that was fun. How old were you? 21. Oh, yeah, that's, see, that's what I was, I figured you were probably young. Yeah. And, you know, did old deli slicers listen to you? Like, they did. It was like my deli from three to 11. Wow. Because the owner, I'd come in at three and the owner had me pour him a drink. And he got a little shica, as they say, and then would go home.

And it was my deli.

Wow. had me pour him a drink and he got a little shika as they say and then would go home and it was

my deli wow I gained 15 pounds oh wow yeah yeah just nothing corn beef and and and on the upper

upper east side we had celebrities come in we had Howard Coasell would come. Wow. Yeah, and talk to me.

Hello, Philip.

I'll have a vodka on the rocks.

Oh, so it was a bar, too, then.
