The classic SNL sketch in which motivational speaker Matt Foley, played by Chris Farley, warns teens they will end up living in a van down by the river.

HN mostly drops it as a joke in threads about vans, van life or career failure.

There's an old Saturday Night Live bit[0] about a motivational speaker who eventually admits that his life sucks and he lives in a van down by the river. Pretty funny, although I suppose I've spoiled it for you. [0] ▶ this video

@giardini2021 · in “What happens to developers who never go into management?”

Article is far too optimistic. They get laid off before reaching retirement or vesting their pension and are replaced by younger and less expensive workers. They live in a van by the river and take such odd jobs as"motivational speaker": ▶ this video

Glad the person landed on their feet. Can’t help but think this could have been titled ‘from a van down by the river’ ▶ this video

Be like motivational speaker Matt Foley - ▶ this video In all seriousness, it is cool as long as you have another place that is home. Traveling for a living gets too much after awhile.
