Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
It was the best, man. That's why I do comedy. Yeah? Why? Because I would always tell stories from my basketball, from, like, basketball to my, like, coworkers. And they would always be like, nigga, you're fucking funny. Okay. You should do stand up. And so that was that's the reason I do stand up. There you go.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast

Man, hey, look, though, real talk. Man, I fucked all up and down that mall. Before I even know my manager was cool, there was a girl that worked at the Jimmy J's. She tried to fuck me before the store opened. And I didn't know. I was like, there's cameras and shit in here, and I don't know my manager like that. I don't know my manager like that.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
I was like, yo, the girl at Jimmy J's wanted to fuck me in the store. And they were like, why the fuck didn't you do it? Them cameras don't work, nigga. You should have did it. But after that, I was fucking all up and through that stuff. Like, man, I fucked in the bathroom behind the mall. It was an abandoned part of the mall. I was fucking in there at the JCPenney's and just shut down.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
Holy shit. But then, oh, we had guys. So I never really stole them for locker. My brother had a homeboy that used to, oh, he got... He got, like, big trouble stealing the finish line when it was 10. So I was always like, man, I'm not going to do no shit like that. But we had got a – when I became a manager, which was a terrible – Holy shit.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
What the fuck? Wait, yeah, I was 18 because I was the only one that showed up to work.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
I lived behind the mall and shit. So they were like, even if anything, cameras just show up. Because you got to understand, like, I feel like I got, like, a hiring system. Back then where it was like oh you got to get a score more off like oh, let's say the score is like you got to get past 600 if you get past 100 like you got a 670 you could be like a manager.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
I'm like, what kind of question is that? Who would ask something like that?
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
I would do the sales report. I would have to write an email, but I'm not email trained, so I'm like, what's up?
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
We sold so many Air Force today. Black was going to like to steal. What year is this? This was 2019.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
That's nuts, dude. Yeah. But I was so, the funniest shit, so I'm a manager, right? But the last manager that we had who work at Champs now, this nigga didn't know how to open the safe to put the money in that night. And then so when they got to me, obviously my test went good. I'm not the brightest nigga in the world. So they were like, if that guy couldn't do it.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
Cam damn shit can't close no fucking safe. So they never, when I would close a night, they never taught me the code to the safe.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
But we never, we never like, but the money was, it would just be open. So one night it was a string of like a, in Florida it was crazy. It was a string of footlocker robberies. I swear to God, I'm not lying to y'all. There was a string of Foot Locker robberies where they would break in through the back door. So there was a store next to it that was open.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
Well, the west side is more like black people. On the east side, we got a lot of Spanish shit like that.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
So they broke in through that store and stole so many shoes from us, like a lot. The next morning we got there, we realized that they had broke in and stole all the shoes and shit. And so it was a big investigation. And the later that came in,
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
thought I had did it cause I closed the night before and I didn't lock the safe and then we couldn't tell her that we never locked the safe cause I didn't think I could lock the safe so I had to learn the safe code that day and then do all this extra shit and then she sat me down had a conversation with me she had like a real deal like long talk with me older black lady and she was like so what are you she tried to get me to go to the army really
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
She was like, you should go to the army because like this, this is the cop investigating the burglary. They brought like an investigator, like a real investigator. And she was like an army. She OK, talking to me. And then little did I find out that she told my man, she was like, why would you hire him? He's like got a 610 on the test. She called me and I quote, she called me emotionally retarded.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
She was like, why would you hide this, man? He's emotionally retarded. He should not be working at Foot Locker. This is insane. And, yeah, fuck that bitch.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
Well, the east side kind of over there. The best way I can explain the east side is I didn't know UCF was on the east side of Orlando.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
I was scared, but the funny thing about her, too, she told my manager, she said, he said, so do you think he did it? And she was like, there's no way he could have pulled this off. Shut up.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
And then they came and robbed us again like a year later. Damn. Yeah, it was crazy. That's nuts. Yeah, then I got fired for cussing at my manager. I got a new manager and I cuss that bitch to smithereens.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
She called me her special child one time and I cussed that bitch to filth.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
Because we would go back and forth, like Slash would be cool and they wouldn't be cool. But she was like, you my special child, you know you need a little extra help. And I'm like, bitch, I swear to God. Call me special again, or there'll be some smoke in this fucking city. I cut that bitch a smithereen. Fuck that lady. And then you know what's crazy? I started working at Publix after that.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
I didn't know UCF was in Orlando until I graduated high school. So that's a big difference between the east side and the west side.
Are You Garbage? Comedy Podcast
Kam Patterson!
At first I was on the cashier and they was like, you can't do this. I had a joke about this at one point where I would always be like, I'll have a good day, my nigga. And they'd be like, Cam, you gotta stop.
