Hi, welcome to Smoshmouth. I'm Shane. And I'm Amanda, and we have two very special guests with us today. We have Frank and Joe from the basement yard. That's right. Thanks for having us. So excited to have you guys here because it's the East Coast episode. Yeah. Not you.

Okay. You get, yeah. The East Coast of Arizona? Yeah. I don't even think that's right. Probably not. Phoenix, I think, is square in the middle. And you guys said that Boston was your favorite place.

No, that place sucks. That's what you guys said. You guys have been talking shit all morning. already. I haven't, no. You've been, Frank has been talking a lot of shit. Frank's been crazy. I mean, I mean, well first of all, you just, you just need to ask him about

the clips are very easy. East coasters love to like boast and shit on other places. Like a lot of like, if it's just like this place or that place it's not a calm, like it's not a calm conversation. No. If you ask him about Philly, he'll go off about Philly. But like I don't have an issue.

I don't. Ask me about it. You like Philly. It's a bathroom. I think that's true. I think the streets were made to be like urinals. I don't think I've ever been with Philly. I've never been.

I can see the light in your eyes still. Yeah. My soul is here. Jokes aside, Boston as a place, I'm whatever. The people. That was the good part of this. All jokes aside, pretty bad.

I thought a compliment was coming. I said that. Me too. No, Boston is a place. Okay. You don't have to do. The people have been very kind to us. The sports teams, though.

Don't fucking start. Yeah, I agree with that. No, absolutely. What? Of course I agree with that. The Red Sox are incredible. They are dog water. Yeah. Dog water is delicious.

I don't follow baseball, but... What was that? No. That's me defending any way that I can. Dog water is yummy. What? Continue the conversation. Okay.

I was going to say that I think that Boston, like, being in the city is like, it's a cool city. Yeah. I don't like the teams. No. Yeah, I don't like the... That's fine. I love the accent

I think it's the funniest accent I've ever heard You know what's weird is like I don't really have a big So you're like fake from Boston Don't you fucking do You're gonna get fucking Earlier she was like oh yeah I go back all the time I'm like how often she's like twice a year

I'm like That's not a lot That's a lot That's a lot to travel all the way across the country Joe that is a lot What to you counts as a lot Four times Every crease

Every Christmas Every Christmas. I feel like four times. That actually, once a quarter. Okay. That doesn't help your argument. If it's just for like Christmas, it's like, all right. No, I know.

I know. You would go back more if you could. If I could, yeah. Yeah. And my dad has a very thick accent. Does he? Yes, it's very thick. Oh, man.

You know, there's so many things going on. So Netflix is a crazy place. So Pam and I finished Netflix. We finished it. I'm like, what does that mean? Is that your mom's name? No. Oh, okay.

Okay, okay. That's my dad's wife. Oh, you're a former child? I'm a divorced child. You two? As a five. Your parents love each other. Your parents love each other and you're from Arizona?

Yeah. Fuck you. I like being from Arizona's like, man, you lucky son of a bitch. You're being shamed for your parents figuring. How about this? How about this? Where are your grandparents? Well, one set of grandparents are dead.

The ones that were in Colorado. And then my grandparents were in Tampa. both still alive. My grandpa's 91 or 92? It's getting crazy. You said basically, but... So my grandmother is... She's like 80s.

My mom's like 80s. My grandma, 2012 is when she died. And they were all dead before that. Yeah. I'm a former grandchild, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they've been... Gone?

Yeah, they've been gone. They're so dead. Before the divorce? Super dead. So dead. So dead. Or did the divorce? I mean, you know, they both, not both, but my grandmother's, you know, she had died years prior because she had like dementia, so she was gone for a while.

Wait, no, your grandma died after your parents got divorced. Yeah. I mean, the divorce, it started when they got married, if you think about it. It's all downhill for me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I get it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Yeah. Did you hear the leading cause of, like, it's like a new thing, a leading cause of divorce in the country? is married. A hundred percent of people. Close. A hundred percent of people that get divorced had gotten married. Wait.

What the fuck? I know. Divorce? Say it. Yeah. So people get divorced because they got married? Not because, but...

Shut up. Joe, don't start. What are you talking about? Can I say, sorry, change the subject slightly. No, fine. But like, I had watched your guys podcast before,

and we did a recording of Reddit stories yesterday, Within literally two minutes of starting. I was like, I was like, oh man, I'm such a fan. Like they do their thing. I wonder if they're gonna do like their thing, you know, and they're here. You said something and immediately you did the like,

oh. And I literally, I paused for a second. I was like, wow, they're, they're hopping right into it. Just how we are. Yeah, it's literally, you are doing this off camera too. Absolutely. It's non-stop. It really is.

A hundred percent of the time. When do you know that the, like, when you first meet a person that you could also be like that with them? Ooh, that's a good question. You know what I mean? Because we just met today. Yeah.

And I feel very comfortable. Yeah. I think you like immediately sat down and I told you my family and I were going to Turks and Kekos and you were like, I would bone Turks and Kekos. Yeah, yeah. And you were like, I said fuck, I don't burn things. She said, yeah. Whatever. I was going to one up that.

I was like, let me stop. But I think, you know, you can just get a vibe from the person and it just click. And it's like an unspoken thing. Like it kind of just clicks at a certain point. Yeah. There's also like a line you can. toe with people when you first meet them where it's like it's not that you're being rude it's because you're but it's like a loving sort of joking with someone that's not like if you meet

someone who's overly polite you're like okay I don't know if I could do the riffing thing with this person yeah no it's like I don't know yet but when there is that like I can make a dig at you type of thing like that would make you super yeah it's a comfort yeah it's a vulnerability yeah it's a vulnerability I feel like we do that a lot at smosh and sometimes our fans don't don't get a read on it and so they'll be like they're fighting to angelo right now and it's like That happened to us. That happened to us. Yeah, because our producer,

once we put him on the thing, they were like, yo, they're so fucked up to him. Oh, it's so- I was like, fuck this kid, first of all. He's an asshole. It's so funny. The three of you guys, your relationship, it's so funny.

Like, you rag on him and it's so funny. But like, I called him. He pulls up. Yeah, he does believe you guys. I called him because I felt bad, because, you know, the last thing I want is like to him to actually think that like, it's like real.

And he's like, I actually like, I take it as like you're inviting me in, you know, like to like the hangout and stuff like that. So I'm like, all right, yeah, that's right, fuck you. Yeah, okay, and then you hung up. Yeah, I slammed it. He reels me back though, Joey reels me back because I could get a little, I sometimes don't know where the line is. Are you meaner than Joey?

Oh my God. I don't know if meaner's than the word. My interpretation from watching you guys is that, unfortunately, I feel like you're the, yeah. I kind of agree. That's the thing that happens because it's like, oh, Frank's this whimsy guy, and then I have to reel him in. all the time, just bullshit.

No, I feel like, that's, I feel like Amanda and I's thing. But I think it's just, like I'm the one who I make fun of you more than you make fun of me. So am I whimsy? I don't know, you make fun of me a lot too. Am I whimsical? Am I the whimsy one? You're definitely whimsical. I'm definitely there's the, I'm sensing whimsy in the room. I'm whimsy. Yes. Yeah, because from your clips, it does feel like you're like, I did this

thing today. And Joe's like, oh, let's hear it. I don't care. What's happening? I don't give a fuck. But meeting you guys, it's kind of different. Like, you are so mean to Joe. It's crazy. No way. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. No way. I'm kidding.

I think it's just like the playful banter. Like we know kind of like what story is coming. So like we know like, oh, here we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's not like neither of us are me. I would never say that either of us are mean. But like it's definitely like I will commit to a bit to the point where it's just like real back a little bit. He also loves pranks.

He's like a 90s teen bullying away. Yeah, because you were telling me about fart bags. Did you have fart bags? So I didn't have fart bags. We had like fart, like stink things that we would do in the hallway. You know what? What was the color you talking about?

You just talk about taking a shit and I wish I never fucking did. They did this like thing, stink out of butts. We were taking shit. No, they were the little like foil like packs and you would pop something in it and it would explode and it just smelled like a dumpster. No, I didn't have that.

We had like literally like a little smoke bomb and it was farts and you'd put it in the hallway. It was smoke. See what goes on in Massachusetts. It's crazy. Massachusetts is crazy. Yeah, it sounds like it. Yeah.

Everything. But you'll mention things about Massachusetts and then I'll see comments being like, I'm from Massachusetts and I've never fucking heard of this before. Yeah. Maybe it's just right out. I mean, it's also like a different generation. Like we all grew up in the generation where like stuff like that was like, was happening.

Farts were pranks. Now they're like, you smell a fart in the hallway. I imagine they're just like lock the doors down. Something is going on. They're more serious all the time. What's like the worst prank that you've pulled on Joe? Ooh. Do you pull any pranks on Joe?

Is it just like you do pranks to your wife? He just does like your wife. No, like he just, he did the fart bag thing to me. Yeah. Like we were recording a show at this point I was, I had the setup in my apartment. So he threw a far bag in my apartment. Oh no. And he just hit it and he's like throwing it.

So now we're throwing it back and forth because it takes time to like, So we're throwing it back and forth. And then it got knocked off the table. I broke like a mug or something. And then it went off in my whole apartment smell like shit. For how long? A couple minutes. It wasn't that bad.

Oh, just a couple minutes? It was a couple minutes. Oh, because that's not that bad. It's not a couple minutes. It was also like a nostalgic smell. Like, it didn't smell awful. It smelled fun. You're like, ew, but also like, I remember that stink.

I mean, I didn't enjoy it. No part of me smells that. I mean, we'll get into this because I know how you feel. But like, no part of me smells that smell and goes like, What the hell? This brings me back, but I will tell you what. I don't know how you guys feel about this. Me and Frank love it.

Hors shit is a good smell. I love horseshit. Horset is fantastic, dude. I couldn't agree. I, like, grew up down the street from a farm. My mom made me ride horses. So, horse shit. You strike me as a horse girl.

Yeah, you do. Don't even. There's fan art of me, and it is horrific. I could see you in one of those helmets. Horcerific. Can see you in a helmet and the tall boots with a whip? No. Just smiling, like, equestrian.

Hey, I'm down. Yeah. No, but fan art. I acted like me as a horse in my normal clothes. Okay. Yeah, they love me out there. Me as a horse shit. They love me out there.

Horse shit is definitely like, I understand what you're saying. It's good. Because it's reminiscent of a lot of different. It brings you back, you know? Yeah, yeah. I don't love it, though. But like, here's like a thing that I don't, I don't know if anyone's on my team.

But you remember in Jurassic Park where there's just like a big pilot? Yes. And I'm like, all right, part of me wants to put my hand in that shit. Yeah. And a big pile of that guy was. It looks crazy. We also grew up, like, we hung out and played, like, Manhunt in, like, streets and alleyways. With flashlights.

So, like, we, it smelled like shit. Well, we did, we did do that, but, like, it also smelled, like, piss and shit. And, like, where we played Little League Baseball was right next to the bay. And, like, so, like, bad smells were just kind of a part of our childhood. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Our lives were shit. We lived in shit. We lived in squalor.

So, like, there's a, like, I'll, like, you know, you pass the bay and you'll just be like, ew. You're like, ew, I like. Ew, I'm home. That stinks, right? Yeah, exactly. This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by Casper. Summer is getting toasty.

Why is that? I don't actually know why that is. It's like family trips when you're like sleeping in the van and you wake up and you're like, oh, we're at the gas station. That makes sense. I mean, I like it in a way that I would probably think about drinking it. Okay, well, that's a different level. There was a commercial when I was a kid where Homer is like filling up his gas and then like,

he's like, some for you, some for me, some for me. And I was like, that looks amazing. It does. I kind of want to do that. I don't want that. You know what I love? Basements, me. You know what I'm talking?

What kind of basement? Like, well, basement yards, so that makes sense. I mean, you're kind of a dirty bastard. Yes. Like a mildewy basement? It smells good. We just hardly have basements. I never, I didn't grow up with basements.

My basement got flooded every goddamn month. Yeah. It was so fun because it was like controlled chaos down there. And just the smell of just like, you know, it's a little mildewy. It's a little wet, but it's also just like the dirt. Yeah. I don't like it. room that someone stays down there sometimes.

You know what I'm saying? Like cousin Ryan stays in the back room and you know it smells like that. That's your actual cousin. That's crazy. I don't like the smell of a mildew basement. Oh, it's good. It's a good one. You know what I kind of like, though?

Like an empty apartment smell. Like new? Like new? No, no. I'm talking about like, empty apartment. Lived in. Like you're looking for a new apartment.

You're going visiting apartments and they're empty. But they're not brand new. They're not brand new. But they're empty. But you're like, it smells like nothing in air. You know what I mean? It's like it just smells like it, like so, no one has cracked the window on a bit. Oh.

Oh, just like stale air. It's like a room. Yeah, like a swamp air kind of thing. It's not swampy. No, it's kind of clean. But it's because it's stagnant. Stagnant air. It's got like the wood in it.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah. It's like a wall, like smelling a wall. Smells are great. I love smells. Just general smells. Now I visually picture you in an apartment by yourself Just like

I'm not above that On a wall I'm not above that at all You're like oh here's the new apartment Do you want to check it out? It's like I'm good I'm good He'll walk and they'll be like

Did you see everything? He's be like do you mind if I go check out The bedroom one more time By myself without you listening Just let it rip Yeah just in there Just like Yeah

I'm kind of on all fours on the ground Just letting it rip I do Oh you guys want here fun Dude this is so funny I don't know if we've ever told the story before My grandma was moving out of her apartment.

And so my dad, my dad is like a typical dad. And he's like, you'd get all your friends helping us to move the apartment. Because he's never hired anyone when he has children. He said, why do I have to hire people? Why did I have you? His workers are there. Yeah, built in help. Yeah.

And then if you're a friend, it's like, well, then obviously what do you have to do? You're fucking helping. Yeah. So we were moving all my grandma stuff out. And I do remember, as it pertains to this conversation, like, before, like, I was the last one to leave. So I was like in there and it was empty And I was like I fucking love this

Like my old ass grandma's walls Smell Good You know what I mean? But before we got all of the Furniture out Careful let him Look in this No, careful

I'm picturing the Will Smith In the room below Yes exactly The end of fresh prince I know where this is going And I'm just gonna sit here And you're in my grandma's house It's completely empty

At this point it's not empty yet Like there's like a couple of pieces So yeah right Yeah And my dad's in the car in a van, like waiting for me and him. So we had to take apart this dresser. And when you take apart a dresser, you're like, I can't take the whole dresser down. I've got to take each thing out.

Each drawer. Yeah, yeah. I can't believe you're telling this. But the drawer, the bottom of it. I do. He knows he was there. The bottom of the drawer was like particle board or something. It's like where you have to like slide it in and like lock it on the back.

Yeah. Do you have a guess what I'm about to say? Maybe. I don't think so. if you do have a guess What's written on the board or is there something hidden in there? Oh no, no, no, it's worse. It's first. Yeah, it's so much worse than that.

Okay. I don't know that you would ever guess this. And if you did, that's a problem for you. Okay. So what we decided would be fun because you're young and idiots. Yeah. Is like, I'm holding this thing up and I'm dropping it. I'm like, yo, this is kind of like a guillotine.

And Frank's like, what if I put my balls in there? Oh! Why would I guess this? Why would I guess this? I would have never guessed that. Why would I guess this? Dude. This is why you're like, don't tell this story.

I mean, I don't care. You know, we've told enough stories on this spot. Why would you guys want your balls in a gillard? You guys, how is the executioner? No, no, no, no, no. How many stories do you have that you put your balls in a guillotine is one that you want? What year were you born? 91.

Okay. You and you were in prime like hanging with 92. You were in prime like hanging out with your friends and balls were around age. Don't sit there and protect. And balls were around. It was like, yeah. It was just like a thing.

And like it was always like, oh, like prank, like, ha ha, look, it's a picture of his nuts or something like that. Okay. You know, we also grew up. Different place. Like, I was in Arizona. It's too hot to get your balls out. We also grew up.

We grew up in the time of like, you know, jackass was so. Oh, that's what I was just going to say. No, my brother told me he was like, oh, my friends and I played this game where we just try to see who can hurt themselves the most. Most of so. It's just like what? They like yeah we have an exercise ball. His mom in like 2004, 2005 got him a camera and we started

making videos together and we called them because we lived near the park by us was 48th Street so we called them the 48th Street files and love it. Most of those videos were just like jackass stunts like him kicking me or like someone punching me in the face

or like we did one that was like our most famous one. Famous meaning we showed our friends and family. Family too? We took my... We made them sit through and we were like, what do you think? Yeah.

So what do you think of Frank's ball is getting guillotined? We took my mom's garbage can and put it over Frank's head and then my brother ran and drop kicked him in the face with both feet. Holy fuck.

In my front yard. Yeah. That's awesome. Why did you need the garbage top on your head for that? So I didn't get kicked directly in the face. I had this. And by the way, you guessed it,

a regular New York City garbage can, not like cleaned or newly purchased. Sure, yeah, sure. A rat inside of me. I actively remember being in there and seeing like white jelly. And I was like, jelly isn't white? And then getting kicked. White jelly.

Didn't I bring up Steveo in the porter potty when they flipped him around and he had to be filled with poop? I was like, that was the one. We never got into poop. No, we never did. But like that was like the inception of us making videos. And then like we would do like skits of us like, you know, stuff like that. American Idol and so much of it was like the jackass era

where like what was funny I mean you remember the TV show on MTV Scard? Yeah I didn't watch I could not watch Scard it was all that content where it was just like guys doing something getting hurt and everyone couldn't It was a lot of like skate skateboarders I don't like the skateboarder videos when they like

break their fucking Oh biking is worse when they like fall forward I can't watch like sports injuries I just can't either like feet going the other way No, I don't like that stuff. Yeah, that's bad. I like, what they call it the scorpion when, like, their, like, the, like, heels. I can't even watch any videos of, like, on Instagram if I see a video of someone, like, working out.

Like, I'm too afraid that they're going to get hurt and I can't. Me too. Me too. Like a leg press injury? I'm like, yeah. Yeah, no. Can't handle that. Disgusting.

Okay, so guillotine balls. Let's get back to that. Yeah. You have all the information. Whoa, whoa. I don't have all the information. You just posed it. You didn't actually go through with it.

No, no, we did it. We did. but it was filmed on a flip phone at the time. It didn't get shown to like, it's really, really blurry. It was like, you could look at it and just be like, I think those are balls. Exactly, yeah. Yeah.

It was on a Motorola razor probably. Yeah. I think I had like a red Nokia. That was my sisters. So it was like, you know, you're young, you're dumb, you're stupid. My grandma's about to die. Let's have some fun. Yeah, let's have some fun with her dresser.

That was probably like, she was pumped at the idea that there was like balls in her apartment. And who knows when the last time they had been there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're just speculate about that. Yeah, we'd go into that. Like an educated guess on that.

Yeah, let's think about that. Did you guys ever think like, oh, it'd be so great one day to do jackass? I did. Because it was like a dream of a lot of people. Not mine. I mean, I loved jackass. The dynamic that we had, it really was similar where we had a big group of friends. And it was like half wanted to kind of just like be behind.

the scenes and like just like it would be funny if you did this and the other half like all right all right fuck me up I'm the director I tell you how to hurt and that was the dynamic that we had where like he would be like I had this idea and I would just be like yeah let's like I don't care we did one where we like there was like a busy intersection by his house and I was on crutches because I had hurt my knee during football and they ran over at a like backed up intersection kicked him and my friends kicked the crutches out from under me and beat me up and like people are getting out there

car okay so like that's like in public scenario yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I don't know how people do that I get so cringed out like I don't know if I could do that by the way we didn't film any of that you're just doing it we fully just did that thing we would

once we figured out the intersection thing we're like this is a whole new level of fun my brother was also like he would jump into a bush off of a building if he wanted to like sure just like nuts like that and I remember when it would snow a car would pull up to the intersection and be at a red light, and my brother Keith would just run and just slide across their hood.

Because there would be like the people that like didn't fully clean off the hood of their car yet, so there's still like compacted snow and just slide across it. That's actually brilliant. Yeah, I don't know. You got to figure out. You didn't grow up with snow, so you don't get it, dude. I mean, okay, I've experienced snow, though. What was the first time you saw snow in your life?

Well, I lived in Virginia when I was from four years. to six, or two to six years old. So snow was like some of my first memories, actually. Oh, okay, cool. So I know it. I know snow. I know snow. I know snow. And then my, uh, my grandparents and all my family live in Colorado. So I'd go there for Christmas. Oh, so there's snow. Oh, that's a good amount of snow. Oh, yeah.

Snow everywhere. That's no snow better than us probably. That Rocky Mountain snow. Did you guys like, when you were kids, you know, have to go skiing and all that? Was that, like, part of your life? Uh, no. Why was that part of my life, man? I don't know. Did your parents have a good job? Shut the fuck up. And they loved each other for a while. No, it's because my uncle worked at Ragged Mountain.

I don't even know what that is. What? It's a New Hampshire. Ragged Mountain. That's literally what it is. H-C. Faye Previous! It comes down.

It's like half broken off. It's dangling. That's literally what it is, though. Really? It's ragged. It's fucking ragged. Ragged mountain. We'd lose one person per year.

I don't know what it was. It was like, I turned a certain agent and it was like, okay, now's your time. You have to ski. And like going on a chairlift, with all your sisters is like a life or death situation. Yeah. Cause you're all on this, you're all in the chairlift and you're not, you're like having fun,

but if someone says the wrong thing, you're not having fun. And so like you're about to go off and there's like a little, there's like a little bump and you're all trying to go off at the same time so you're like, you're fucking skis are piecing and you're, and one time my little sister was like,

I don't even wanna do it. And she stayed on the chairlift and went all the way around. Just stuck. And they were like, we have to bring her back. Like skiing was just. skiing once, and I was like seven. Or maybe

I was a little older than that actually. I thought everybody No. I've done skiing, I've done snowboarding, but when I was like younger. I've done it like as an adult but like growing up I had only done that one time. You know that, you know, I don't know, maybe that's just my parents but I felt like as a kid

I had to like they made me do everything. Yeah, our parents didn't really do me. Yeah, my parents were paying attention. Literally me and him would be walking to school in third or fourth grade fourth grade. Oh yeah yeah yeah

well no no that's not true which is kind of crazy which is crazy because like now being a parent no it is no fucking yeah that's insane like they're not leaving my sight yeah I'm gonna hold their yard I'm gonna be right there with them yeah of course but our parents would be like in the summer I remember I would leave the house at like eight in the morning I would go to the park

and then I had to be home at six for dinner and then I had to be home at like 11 and I'd like you would just like check in at home and eat yeah and if I didn't check in they'd be so pissed. And it got a little easier once, like, cell phones started becoming a thing, because, like, then we could just be like, oh, we're at the park. We'll, you know, talk to you later.

But we were, like, pigeons. It was just like they leave and then they'll eventually come back. That was pretty much the same. I mean, especially when it was, like, manhunt nights, we would be in a random neighborhood and we would be out in the dark. And there was always, like, one house that was kind of not abandoned, but, you know, slightly. And that's where you'd hide.

Slightly abandoned. Someone's in there. They're like, who the fuck are you? We didn't like it. In Arizona, yeah, up until I was like 13 or 14, I didn't have a phone. So like, you would walk out, but I would leave for the day, and it's like 115 degrees outside. So not only is it like, oh, am I going to die. It's like, will I get heat stroke?

It's just like, I don't know, figure it out, man. Yeah, we used to play Manhunt also, like, around a church. Of course. And, like, the priest was, like, not happy with him. Yeah, I mean. And he would come out and, like, I don't know. I don't know. He would come out all the time and he'd be in the priest thing. I'm like, yeah, at 11, for real. Does he sleep there? They have a thing. They lived there. What's called? A rectory or something?

Well, well, it's got it. Don't, don't. I'm not even going to. It's about the, you know. I was going to say. I don't know what it's called, but it's called something like that. It's called a rec. No, don't say that either. But I think they lived on top. They explored them. They were like a, they're on the campus. They have the bell. They're quasi-modo. They're just up there. No, we, it was like, well, we got to ring the bell. We know why he didn't, we know why he didn't like it, because we were, like, climbing the, like,

onto the building. Sure, of course. You're like cursing God. Who's trying to, like, you know, pray or whatever they do. Come up with his sermon. Yeah, exactly. And then we're out there screaming like, I fucking got you, dude. I got you, allie, allie oxen tree.

Show me your balls. And he'd come out like, children, we can't play here. No more. Also, who's showing their balls. Oh, balls. You said earlier, you grew up in the church, like I was Catholic, right? My church was called the Immaculate Conception. There was one of those in our...

It was by us, yeah. I thought it was just our church. Wait, wait a minute, what the fuck? I thought it was just our special church. It's the del taco of churches. Why no, we got two. Yeah, there's a bunch of those. What?

Turns out it's a shit. I thought that was my special church. It's like McDonald's of church. Oh, we got a back of a conception too. Yeah, you got the franchise. They put out a video and they're like, we have now expanded to 14 states. We had most precious blood was one of them.

Holy shit. That's a crazy one. Because what did they think? What did they think was the most precious blood? You know what I mean? Someone in history was saying stuff like that too. Yeah. Was that Catholic?

Yes. Yeah. That's crazy. Ours was just like Holy Cross and then I guess, apparently. We had St. Francis, St. Catherine's, but St. S. Coutherines and St. Irene's were Greek churches. We grew up in a big Greek area. St. Francis was the one that we were like most, like we were near.

Yeah. Did you guys do like a Sunday school or like, I did that. Me too. Did you learn anything? Oh, God. Yeah. Well, also the grades, I would get graded. Me too.

Same. My parents. Grades were like yes or no. You would get a report card. Holy. Like a Y or an end, like literally something like that. No, not going to heaven. My CCD teacher actually lived in the building of a girl that we knew growing up,

and we were at her house, and I guess she heard me curse. And she had this vendetta against me. It's a rabble. And when I went to Sunday school, she gave this whole speech about how, like, oh, some people in here, like some shit like that. And I was like, yeah, this bitch is crazy. Yes. What curse word did you say?

Fuck? That's bad. You're done. The good ones, probably. Yeah, yeah. But she was like, no. not happy at all. And I was like, dude, just give me my why.

It was, I remember as a kid when I was, like, going to church and stuff and, like, curse words and everything. And I was like, these words didn't exist 2,000 years ago. Why is this bad? Yeah. Why is this bad? Because they were so, every CCD teacher I had, literally had it out for everybody. I remember a girl in our class got her period.

And the CCD teacher was like, you are an abomination. Like, you did go home. She did not want to talk about it. She made her go home early. There was, like, no discussion about it. Well, our generation, we were taught by the biggest fucking prudes on the planet. No, literally. Like, literally, like, in the 50s, they would be like,

mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Like, their idea of being raunchy was like, I have a poodle on my skirt. And it's like, you know, have sex in a car, you know, do something fun. Yeah, I have a poodle on my skirt. Well, they would do that. Like, people who have sex in cars and get killed. Yeah, yeah. And they get killed.

Yeah. Was that like a real play? I always thought it was like jokes from like movies and stuff where they'd be like, we're going to go make out at like, you know, titty point or something. There's never a titty point. Okay, we had one of us. You guys had a titty point? Yeah, we had the dumps.

Turns out it's a franchise. You know what, we had the quarry. The quarry? That sounds more dangerous. What are you, Jimly? From Lord of the Rings? No. We made out amongst the ants in the quarry.

It wasn't that cool. We had like a lot of kids from my town would dirt bike. You want to go down to Morrigan's bog? Yeah. Bake out. And then go up to Ragged Mountain. Yeah. See if we could climb.

ragged mountain. She has been courted by Thelonius. Shut the fuck up. No, the quarry was just like piles of dirt that people had dirt bike on. You were the one telling me that you had like fairies in your neighborhood growing up. You're like, oh yes, fairy houses. Oh, fairy houses, yeah. What does that even mean? Oh, yeah.

No, no, no, no. Massachusetts is a crazy place. I'm shocked a place like Massachusetts had a place called a fairy house and they didn't burn it down. Okay, no. They're, well, they're secret. They're like little fairy houses everywhere. It's where the secret hippies want to, you know, do their little fairy houses. You had fairies.

The church didn't know about the fairy houses, by the way. We had fairies, too. My dad usually would call me and him one. Of course. Of course you did. Fairies get in the car and start putting your dicks in the dress. Exactly. Take your balls out of your grandmother's drawers.

And get here. All right. We're moving. You guys done making out? We're going to go flip a dock. You guys got to have all this exciting shit. That is so real. That is so real.

But yeah, you got, you had the quarry. You probably had like... In Arizona, all we had was like a gun slide. Like, what the fuck? That's kind of fire. What is a gun slide? I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory. Yeah.

No, it's not. A slide that is shaped like a gun? Oh, is that what it is? Please tell me that's not what it is. A what? A gun slide. I'm a gun slide these nuts in your mouth. Amanda, you almost messed it up.

I did. We talked about this before. Right before the episode, he's like, this is what I'm going to do. And I went, hell yeah. And that's he said, dude. And then I brought a gunside, I went, you have a gunside? And then he was acting all weird, and I was like, why is he acting so fucking weird? Shane, Shane.

Son of a bitch. Go hit him with a gottum. Goddum. Son of a bitch. A cross-country got him is so fucking disrespectful. And it was, it was, it was tossed around. It was tossed around. You had moments.

I feel like betrayed almost. Nowhere on the call sheet did I see be prepared for a god. Be prepared for this. I would have come prepared. Do you guys warn each other? No. Okay. We should definitely hit an end with that when we get home.

He's quick. He's quick with it. I got it. I don't. We'll figure it. I have one locked and loaded. I've got it. I've got one locked and loaded.

We literally walked up to Selena like last week and I was like, we got to get them. I was like, we don't need to prepare anything for this. We just got to get them. And you got us. But do you see what I mean about like balls being part? of like male culture jokes and stuff. Yeah. You just showed us your balls of the joke.

You're right. You're right. I did. I did. You're guns like. He's getting so embarrassed right now. Is he crazy? Does he,

does he, because Joey's like this, does he, let's just, let's just, yeah, he guys turn away. Like, people like fawning over him,

like compliments. Yeah. Joey hates. Although, although, no, he's gotten a little bit better. Like, with me, I can be like, like yesterday. I was like, I like,

I like your shirt. He was like, thanks so much. Oh, that bad. Like that, that, that, Yeah. Oh, okay. Frank thinks that I don't like compliments because he compliments me like a t-ball coach.

He's like, hey, man, you should really be proud of yourself. I'm like, that feels a little, that feels a little, like, a manipulative compliment. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You're on this couch. I think when it's not thrown out casually, when it's, like, said really earnestly with like, and, like, tussling my hair and shit. Hey, yeah. Hey, buddy.

Like, get on the knee. I would say that's my dynamic. That's my dynamic with our friend Damien. Damien's been like one of my best friends for a long time and he'll give like really like he'll make a moment And it's like it's like okay like very sweet it's incredibly sweet he's like I heard that you really liked You know predator so I went to Japan and I got you this special Predator T-shirt he gave it to me and I was like oh my god fucking that's awesome yeah yeah And he was like yeah thank you're yes and I was like this is awesome yeah yeah but like I took it in and then I felt like oh I should get him something but I don't think

That's why he does it. No. No. Well, no, I just, I'm, I think I am very much so, like, you know, I've been put in a position now where I can, like, do what I've always wanted to do and, like, provide for my family. It's because of him. And I'm always, like, feeling the need to just be like, dude, you've made my dreams come true. You know what I mean?

Like, thank you so much. And then he'll, like, respond and say that. Let's get this out of way. I absolutely have said that to you before. This is sweet. The way, what he's describing, though, is, like, we'll do a show. Like, when we did MSG. Huh.

when we did MSG afterwards he'll be like like you should be proud and it's like bro we did that yeah but like also like not that I think about it from the perspective that I had

where like you were making videos and content very early on and like 2015 and then you came on no no he was making videos like 2010 whoa 2010 but you started the podcast and when? 2015. And then you came on in 2020.

Yeah, but like, so I look at the time that he had, like, doing it by himself, and I'm just like, you should reflect on that, which I know you do, but, like, I want to tell you to do it. Joe, here's what's happening. He's a father. Yeah, I know. He's a father. But this is, I'm your father.

He's your father. But that's what it comes. And I'm like, okay. Is it because it's like, this is too much pressure, like. I think he, I don't know. Sometimes it's like, it's, maybe it's just. not, like I'm not ready for that yet. It's a little existential.

People when it's positive, it's a little existential. It's like you're thinking about your whole life. Yeah, because I take a little longer to do that. Because like, even something like that, you get off stage and immediately I'm like, all right, I got to figure out what that was. Well, you have to process like, okay, you have to process like pretty much everything you said. You're like, okay, so I said that thing to that, that worked, that didn't work. Wait, why didn't that work?

That was weird. Okay, did we choose the wrong person? I don't know. That's what I do. It was more of like, for that show specifically, like there was a lot leading up to it, obviously, and a lot of things had to go right, and then we had a good show,

and then it was like afterwards, and there was just a lot to go through before you can be like, okay, I know how I feel about it now, kind of. Yeah, we're almost a year away from it, and I'm still processing, like, the shows from the year before still, you know what I mean, because it's such a weird thing, but, like, I get that, and I also, like...

So when you come offstage, you kind of, you, like, automatically want to kind of, like connect and be like hey. Not, I mean, not necessarily. Like, we do, like, it's very quiet after a show backstage. Like, we kind of just sit down and decompress. You know, there's like the adrenaline dump.

But, like, big shows that we've done, whether, whatever they were, I'll be like, dude, like, I hope you take a minute to realize, like, you did something crazy. And they're like, we'll talk like that. But, like, it takes, it's not like every single show. If it was, I would punch myself in the face. You know what?

One day, Joe is going to wake up and just be like, and he's just going to sob because everything you said, it's just going to hit him all. I cry all the time. Like, this was the, was it the day after? I think it was the day after. And it's like a weird way, but, because like I saw my mom afterwards and, you know, whatever.

All our friends and family had like a little party afterwards. But then I was in my bed the next morning. And I saw like a TikTok that someone posted of like the view of it. And it was like confetti at the end of it. And then I was just like, I lost it. Oh, I love that. Because we always, we've talked about this a lot, but being on the stage is so different than sitting in the crowd. Yeah.

Like, when I see photos of definitely that show, but like any of the shows we've done, I'm like, holy shit. Like that looks fire. Yeah. Yes. It feels different maybe because you're, you're kind of behind the curtain and you know like, oh, it's just a bunch of wires and shit behind here. But then it looks like a show. so it just, it feels like, it's hard to feel the magnitude

until you see the photos. Yes. It's true. And if I saw the photo of like MSG filled with people beforehand, I'd be like, oh, fuck. Yeah. It freaked me out. Absolutely.

No, when we did, the closest we have is we did the Chicago theater last year for Reddit Stories, and it was like, oh, it's 3,500 people. It's like, holy shit. When you're on stage, the lighting, you can't really tell. So you're just like, I know there's a lot of people out there, but it's, I can't really gauge it. And then it wasn't until we were leaving

and we were getting into our car and there was just like a crowd. Like the crowd was leaving and you're just like, oh my god, all of those people were in there. Yeah, yeah. It's nuts. Our photographer is awesome, Zach, shout him out. And he takes pictures at the venues where he goes to like the top back of it and takes like a shot from over there. I love that.

So like, I'll see that and I'll just be like, fuck. You know, like it's like you see that. and it kind of puts it in perspective. Also, the marquees are cool. You're like, my name's up there. Yes. Well, the Chicago theater freaked us out in particular. I know it definitely freaked me out.

The first time we did it, we were backstage in the green room and we're hanging out. And, like, they have, like, everyone wrote on the walls backstage. Did you guys sign the wall? Yeah. I wasn't at the Chicago one. I was giving. But, yeah, we did sign the wall. Or later.

Don't you hate when that happened? More impressive. It was crazy. It was crazy. More impressive. It is. And honestly, honestly, shame on you for not being there.

Shame on you for not giving birth. No, you're right. Unbelievable we've been giving birth. I'm really sorry. I signed to the wall. I'm really sorry about that. In blood. In placenta blood.

In placenta blood. I was like, la la la. No, but like the, you sign the wall and stuff like that. And then like we're like, all right, we're going to have a good show. We're still like the first round of stuff.

We're still like getting our like rhythm down. And then we see like next to the door. It says like, have a swell time. I sure did. And Frank Sinatra. And I was just like, holy shit. Oh. Frank Sinatra performed here and I'm about to go talk about my balls on stage right now.

Deotine balls. But like for me, I see that and I'm just like, who the fuck am I? You know what I mean? Like a moment like that where like that person's, and then you look around and you see other names and you're just like... No, I definitely have the same thought whenever we do our show because I come out and I'm like, whoa, hey, what's up Chicago? And then I pull out my iPad and start reading Reddit. I'm like, I feel stupid now. I feel the same way.

Like after we did the Denver show, I was like, oh, like we just read Reddit. It wasn't enough. Like I love to perform. I was like, we need to like do a full performance. And then I realized when fans talk to me about it, they're like, you're someone that is like comforting to me. Like I go to you to feel connected to some way. Specific viewing experience.

And so I'm like, oh, to get that in such a big magnitude with all those people kind of feel the same way. Yeah. It's pretty fucking cool. It's pretty cool. I just like I always want to feel like I want to offer them. Like whenever we do Reddit, like I always, I just want to like offer them something really, amazing. I'm just like

I want to perform for them. So it's weird for me to not have any like wigs or any. I'm just sitting here like this is just me. Yeah. Oh yeah, I love to wear wigs. That's the song and dance. Yeah, no seriously. That. Hey, we do it sometimes. We did a whole episode where we just played, we made

up ants. Oh yeah. Shane and I were not ants like on the floor like our aunts. Aunt. Aunt. Yeah. Yeah. He says ants. Okay. We say ants too. Yeah, yeah, because I'm basically... Is that the episode when you did the Bob? Yeah.

Yeah, I did an East Coast aunt and he did a Key West Aunt. Yep. And we blacked out. We don't remember. Were you drinking? No, we just blacked out completely. I don't know what happened. We filmed for 80 minutes and we did not bring character.

I mean, that happened. We did an episode where we put on wigs and we were like Long Island Medium moms. Oh. And it was the same... Long Island Medium. We were like, oh, my God, the video games. They're making the kids gay. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the same thing, but like... So true. lost in this long island medium isn't it like how do you say well you're on long island you have your daughter they do water they do long guileland long guyland long guile long island yeah long island long island yeah and everything it's it's kind of like the like the like the character of if you guys watch sopranos yes of course you know how like you know she walks around like carmella walks around like this like that's the long island mom that's the long island mom like a t-rex yeah yeah

just like over here you need anything ever after water everything's a Water. Everything's a concern. The water? Well, it's making, I heard it's making the frogs gay, it's making the kids gay. And you're gay. And everyone's gay. They want us to be gay now.

So then do you watch the YouTube, did you watch that YouTube series back in the day? It was like, my son moved to New York and now he's gay. Oh, was that the take a picture next to the tree. Yeah, take a picture next to his mother's day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not kidding. The Mother's Day one and the Christmas one, we send it in like my family group chat, like this is my mom. Yeah.

Like, the scene with that? Wracked around a telephone cord? Like, oh my God. Do you hear that? Yeah, yeah. My mom doesn't have like an accent, like there's certain words, but like the scene where in that video specifically, it always stands in my mind. I'm like literally I've seen my mom do this a thousand times.

But it's like Mother's Day and it's like she goes to pick something up and she goes, I'm not doing this. The dishes? I'm not doing the dishes. It's Mother's Day. It's like, forget this. It's Mother's Day. My mom was the on Christmas where it's like something gets opened and it's just like she needs

to tell you how it's not enough, but like we hope you like it. So it's just like, yeah, I thought you would like. an Xbox and if you don't like whatever I mean it's I tried you know and I really tried my hardest I tried my hottest to get you the Nintendo Wii and it's like you did good those fucking videos

but you know they're sold out everywhere so I didn't know I was literally like that is it's not really my mom but like it is like my aunts and everything and like just the whole thing of like her dropping her off at the mall and it's like I'm gonna drop you for the mall what are you doing tonight you hang out with your friend no you're hanging out with me fine go hang out with your friend

if you want and she's like her precious moments It's like, I just love that. Because my family is so, like, non-confrontational. Like, because, like... Shane and I come from completely different families. No, like, hearing that, like, my family is so just like, okay, yeah, whatever. Like, okay, great. Like, okay, like, that's the vibe.

Yeah. So whenever I hear, like, East Coast people and it's just, like, bam, in your face. We came from, like, families that were strong-minded, and, like, my mom, like, struggled... That's a good word. Like, struggled with, like... I like that. Yeah, yeah, we'll go with that. That's a good word for the podcast.

Strong-minded. Strong-minded. Some of my uncles are extremely strong-minded. She, like, would, like, do the thing where it would be, like, you know, like, I love you. Motherfucker. I love you so much, you're fucking idiot. I love you. I don't think I've ever heard my mom say the word fuck.

Oh, dude. I don't think I've ever heard it. His mom has cursed me out. Yeah. And she, and she, like, but, like, in, like, a loving way. This woman would cry every single New Year's, like, one of her children. and got shot in the face 10 times. I'm not kidding.

Wait, why? Because the year's ending? Yeah, just reflecting. Of course. But every year he would have a New Year's Eve party, and I would go there, and we would celebrate New Year's there. And then it would be 3-2-1.

We would, you know, pop champagne, and whatever, whatever. And then it would, like, spill out into the front yard. Of course. And she would be on the stoop, just inconsolable. Yeah. And I'm like, I'd be like, oh, you know, Happy New Year, Nancy.

She'd just grab me, she'd be like, No. And then, but then it would be that. And then it would immediately, it would be a hug, and then it'd be like, you're getting older and like hitting me or something. How dare you? How fucking dare you? And she would just like say things.

She'd be like, you look after him. And I'm like, yeah, like, we're two idiots. I can't look after him. I put a trash can on his head and someone kicked him. Do you know what you probably thought of? Did you not see the video of his balls in a guillotine? Yeah. She probably thought of like.

about that one now. She probably thought of like the worst thing that could. It all flashed before her eyes on the stoop. The worst thing that could happen. I have, I have come to since, you know, now that I'm married and I have kids, my wife tells me she's just like, it's all like every moment is just like how bad it can be. I know. Because like mom guilt and stuff like that.

It's like intrusive thoughts. I like totally experienced when I have my son. It was just like we're all like hanging out. It's a great like my husband was playing with our son on the floor. was so cute and I had this big bowl. You know how you mix your salad in the mixer? Hell yeah. So I took out the whole mixture and I just kept the salad in there. Gotcha. Okay. It's like the big bowl. Uh-huh. And like our wedding song came up or something and I'm watching them play and I am sobbing. What's the wedding song? Um, we're going to make fun a bit if it's not

Ben Morrison into the mystic. Don't, don't, don't think of that song off the top of my head. It's all right. Oh, you went on knees. I'll do something. I'll do something. I don't know, but like that's like a real thing that happened. I just thought of it all the whole, Like, I was like, I could lose it all. Well, because you're picturing in the future when like, I could lose it all. You have the vision from Terminator 2. Yeah. Oh, my God.

A bomb can hit right now. Oh, no, nuclear war. So I'm going to be your mom on New Year's Eve. Yeah. You definitely will, yeah. I do that, but like, it could be just videos of strangers. Oh, yeah. And I'm just like, fuck.

Yeah, no, me too. I like crying. Like, I'll try. Same. Like, I'll find something and it'll get me a little bit. like, let me pull on the string. And I'll just be sobbing about something. I used to be afraid of turning into my parents, but then it's like, I'm giving that to my

kids so they can make fun of me. It's like a gift to them. You know? Oh, how nice of you. I will give them this curse. This is how selfless I am. It's going to be a strong-minded parent for you. The curse is yours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but our parents are like a big part of like just the personality and the dynamic we had because it's so, like, they're just characters. Of course.

And like you don't know If other people have the like my dad I've told this story before But like when I was younger I like asked my dad to buy me condoms Oh brave man And my dad's crazy I gotta set the scene

Whoa My dad is like a 5 foot eight Colombian electrician So like I don't think my parents know that I've ever had sex I've been married I don't think they know My parents don't My family doesn't talk about sex

I mean we don't either My family definitely talks about sex except for my dad We don't, we don't talk. I mean, you said you have several sisters, right? Yeah. So different dynamics. My siblings, we don't talk about it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We get into all of it. Okay. Well, see, that seems, that seems filthy. You're poor father. All right, continue?

Well, no, it was, like, it was just like that moment where he's just like, this is my time to be a dad. And, like, just seeing. How old were you? Can I ask? That's an inappropriate question. No, I want to hear it. Never ask a lady her age.

Yeah, how dare you? 16? I was probably around 16 or 16. I'm like, cool. But like... Me 60, like, I'd buy them if I need them, but, you know, it's not work. You're saying good for you, like, they didn't sit in my drawer for eight years or whatever. But it's good that you don't want it to be protected.

No, but like... Yeah, you were smart 16 year old. He took it and he was just like... Okay, Shane. It's okay, Shane. Yeah, no, that's same. I would have definitely... I would have asked my dad for sure.

I wouldn't have dreamed of saying that to my dad. No, I would have never. My dad never brought up sex. One time my dad, all he said... said was, and I had no idea what the fuck he meant until I, like, really put it together afterwards. But I think I was like,

I think a girl was meeting me at the house and then we were like going out somewhere. And I forgot how old I was, but he just like pulled me to the side and he just goes, listen, you could be green, you could be blue, you could be yellow. And I was like, what the fuck is that?

But he was talking about condoms. What? Oh, I thought he was going with like a... such, yeah, you could be any guy you want. He turned into a Dr. Seas rhyme. You could be any guy you want. He's like, you could be green, you could be blue, it could be yellow. What's blue? And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?

What's yellow? Yeah. Imagine my dad said that to me. He was like, listen, you got, you got the blue ones, you get this one, you get ribbed. You could get ripped. You could get the ones that turn your dick into an icy hot. Yeah, you can get corkscrew. Let me tell you, nobody likes that. Nobody likes the ice. How could that possibly be anything?

Nobody likes it. It's insane. Just trying to kill up with shit. So you didn't know what he was. was saying, did you ask? I believe I did. I was just like, what the fuck are you saying? He's like, you know, just get, you know, if you need

money for condoms. And I was like, that's what this is. Oh, so your dad came, your dad offered to you and then. Out of nowhere. And there was never like a birds and the bees like, hey, you got to be careful. Do you think Frank's dad talked to him? And it was like, oh, Frank asked. Absolutely not. There's no fucking way. If him and my dad were ever talking to each other, it was about like nails and drills. Oh, yeah. Are your parents like friends at all?

Or do they, they were, like, why we were younger, because our sisters also went to school together. They were friends when they were younger. Yeah. Our moms have the same fucking birthday. Yeah. Whoa. Isn't that crazy?

Yeah. Kismet. Kismet. That's incredible. Really weird. But then, like, I think as just, like, being parents, and then, like, my parents getting, like, the whole separation, they were just like, we don't have time for other people. Right.

We don't have time. We barely have time for each other. That's the problem. Both of our dads, my dad was a fireman and also, like, worked construction, and his dad was electrician. So they like, oh, they were talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, well, you got to see the fucking pipes in this fucking place.

Oh, yeah. Joe, I need, Joe, I can't. And then your mom was involved in our schooling. And then my mom was super involved in a school. So they like, you know, kind of. They talked about that. Yeah, it was like that connection. Well, mom didn't get in there until after we graduated fifth grade.

Yeah, but she was involved when your sister and my sister were in middle school together. Oh, yeah, yeah. So. You guys have been friends since. Freaky. Four years old. Holy shit. Yeah.

Now, did you like, have your separating mom? moments like in high school. We always like, we went to, we only, well, I mean like schooling wise, we only went to school together from first grade until fifth grade. And then he went to a different middle school. I went to a different middle school. That's what happened to my town. Different high school. They split up our middle schools. Well, no, he went, you went to like a, what even was that school? I don't even know. My mom thought that it would be better than our zone school, which it was, you have to go to that. And yeah. And so she was like, she worked in a school. So she was trying to like pull strings.

Oh, I got it. And, like, got me into a different school. It wasn't like a specialized school or anything. It was just a different school that was further away, which was super fucking annoying. So you guys, like, split up during your middle school. But no, we were still, like, friends in the neighborhood. We lived three blocks from each other. So it would be, like, after school.

I imagine your life like, hey Arnold. That's my only. It was really what it was. And after school, we would be like, all right, everyone's just going to the park. So we'll meet at the park. That's awesome. Yeah, you didn't need a phone because it's like, everyone's going to be there. That's so cool.

And then, I mean, even past that, like me, I went to college. He, you know, kind of stayed in our neighborhood and stuff like that. And then, oh. You stayed in the neighborhood. You know, I dropped that. Hey, it's okay. I mean, he's doing all right for himself. He also did.

I think you're fine. Yeah, I think it's okay. So then after that, did you guys, like, come together before, like, when he was doing the pod with other people? Yeah. Other, fuck. You weren't his first. Should you be fucking angry? I went to college and like my parents beat it in my head like, you know, they did the whole like, chase your dreams, but like that's kind of stupid.

You know, like get a job. Get a degree. Get a job. Like, that's what success is. So I went to school and then after I went to undergrad and grad school and then stayed up there for work. And like I was working up there, living up there. He was doing his thing, like the videos and the podcast. And then I got fired.

He actually came and picked me up and like. helped me pack my stuff from my apartment. Hey. Well, you know how to move people. You were forced to do it as a kid. Yeah, I mean, I was over. No balls were involved in this one, though. Oh, thank God. But then, like, I came back to New York, but my wife and I were dating at the time,

and she was living in Jersey, and I was like, all right, I'm going to come to Jersey. So now, like, we have, like, different branches of our life. Yeah. But, like, the show has kind of brought us back together in a sense. I think it's probably better that you guys separated and had your own lives so that you can come together. Yeah. I mean, we've said it all the time, but like our relationship even growing up is kind of like that too. Like, I have, like, friends that I see more often than I see Frank.

But, like, that was the case, like, all through high school. Because we had, he had his own friends in high school. I had mine, but we also, like, mostly hung out with the neighborhood kids. Yeah. So even in high school, I went four years through high school. I hung out with my high school friends maybe, like, three times. Whoa. Like, that was it.

You just mostly hung out with them at school. Outside of school, you never saw them. They sucked. They sucked. I'm not saying that. I think they're nice people. No, they're nice people. They're probably nice people.

They're nice people, but they were like, they lived in like weller, like better off part of Queens. I had no way of getting there. Kind of like Amanda with Boston. What the hell of? They'd be like, oh, we're having a house party. My parents bought us a keg and we're like, we found a 40 at a park. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We dug up some old beers.

We have moochshed splitting a cigarette. Yeah. Seriously. Fasted it down the line really fast. Don't say a word. We're spinning around really fast. You kind of feel woozy. Did you guys ever do Edward Forty hands?

Did we? Is that crazy? We actually are currently scheduling to do it for an episode. Holy. So you know you have to have them both and you can't pee. Yeah. You think I've never heard about you can't pee. Born yesterday?

Listen, I'll piss my pants if I'm playing. I don't care. I thought you peed a lot. Were you not an Edward Forty hands kid? I've never heard of Edward 40 hands kid. It's fun, dude. I personally have never done it, but I've been at, a thousand times. It doesn't sound that fun.

I don't think at 34 years old, I should be doing it for the first time. Yes, you can. They're doing it. I mean, you have cameras here. You can do them in front of a camera and then it makes it less sad. Not really our typical content, but sure. Really, really. It's still, it's still. We'll run it by HR. Well, yeah, I'm like, 33 years old and I'm like, listen, honey, I got to go to work for the day. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and I'm there taping 40s of Coors Light to my hands and I got to go home and put three kids to sleep. You know? Is Coors Light allowed? Wasn't it a specific type of beer? English?

Oh, he's not even. That's malt. Nobody has an old English anymore. I thought it was told it was like a malt liquor, but. I mean, it could be whatever's in a 40. I don't think the parameters are really that. Yeah. Look at you setting the rules.

You've never done it. My brother did it and he told me about it. And he was like, yeah, he's like, the technique is actually to do a little bit of both at the same. He's like, you don't want people drink all of one. And then you have a whole other one. He's like, obviously it's the same amount of liquid no matter what. I would find this not to be a good eye. go back and forth.

Your brother sounds like he is giving it too much thought. Your brother has done it more than once. You got to tip it. You guys growing up didn't do like, you know, like fun, crazy drinking games. Oh, yeah. I did beer pong. I did flip cup. I loved playing beer pong.

I was on the beer pong table all night long. I became like a child actor at like 14, 15. So like they were giving you the beer in the green room. Yeah. Yeah. So just straight to cocaine. Straight to the hard drugs. I never played beer pong, but I did rip

Rails. I would bump in rails with Amanda Binds. I was actually around people doing crazy shit, but I myself was kind of like nervous too, because I was like, oh shit, if I get caught doing something, my mom's going to make me move back to Arizona and I have to give up on my... There's the thing about Shane is that

people don't offer him things. Also, people didn't ever offer. I actually got... Throughout most of my teen years and 20s, whenever I was at a party and I'd leave in one of my friends would be like, oh yeah, I did cocaine. I was like, I don't want to do cocaine, but I was like, but nobody, you never even got offered. No one asked. Nobody thought to ask me. No one offers Shane anything. I would have said no, but you could have asked. I could see you having like, I'm going to tell on you

face at that point. I would never tell. First of all. Because my friends would tell me that they did drugs and I'd be like, that's cool. You're the tell, not tell. I'm not a tattletale. First of all, you've ripped up people's cigarettes before I've watched you. I have because I'm saving them. I would. I would. Good for you. Because I'm saving their lives. Honestly, good for you. Yeah. I remember ripping out one of my mom's packs, and I thought I was going to die that day. It might have been, it's like $200 basically. I literally was like, oh, I'm on my death bet. So my family has a cabin on a lake in Connecticut.

And all the parents up there, there was like 20 houses up there. All of them smoked like freaking chimneys. No. And I'm like insane. Like they were buying cartons. Marlboro was sending my father like merch. Merch. Yeah, seriously.

No. And my brother and our buddy once took all of their cigarettes and hid them. I'm like thousands of dollars. Hid them and then like themselves went like hid. So like... Do they have like the big boxes? Yes. Was this done out of like, uh, benevolence?

Like was this done with... I mean, we were little pieces of shit. Or you were just fully pranking. I mean, no, no, no, no. It wasn't me. Truly, fully was not me. But like they did it because we always had the approach of just like, don't smoke cigarettes. Like you're our parents. We want them to like be around.

be around. And it was, like, the parents were, like, double mad because it's a lake. They can't find two of the kids, and they're freaking out because they're like, oh, my God. And then they're like, where are my $5,000 of Marlboro lights? I'm so stressed about my child being missing. I need a cigarette. We can't find those either. We were, we were, like, prime children of the dare program.

Yeah, we never did drugs or anything. Every time I bring up dare program, everyone's like, what is that? What? I went to Dare Camp That was That's intense That is so nuts That is in such a nerd

Yeah Guys shut up I didn't I didn't choose it My sisters were like You know The church Dare camp

Did you do anything fun Oh I Yeah she Oh I didn't I didn't know where Oh I fuck Oh I fucked Oh I fucked

Every life No I'm just kidding I'm just kidding I'm just kidding I fucked the sheriff Of this The sheriff The sheriff and ass

The baker the bail man? The candlestick maker. The cobbler and I, we got fucking damn. We went up to Ragged Mountain and we just ragged each other up. My sisters are going to watch us and be like,

It wasn't ragged before I got there. Professor Plum and I fucked on ragged. Okay. Yeah, we never like grew up doing any sort of drugs or anything, though. Okay, that's cool. Yeah, we did know, for sure. We want to tell us. Oh, he's trying again. Like, we're all

He cries a lot on the pod. His eyes get wet. I've been crying laughing all day. Yeah, he has. You're welcome. But yeah, I... Our teachers growing up, we would do, like, when we had the DARE program, which was basically going to the basement and legitimately the basement of the school.

And then they would be like, yeah, drugs, nah. And we'd be like, okay. Eight ways to say now? They would give you a ribbon, like a red ribbon to wear. And it was like symbolic of like no drugs. And then we would do like, like a march, but you would just walk around the block of the school. And on

the walk, sometimes the teachers spoke saying. Stop! It swear to God! It was like these Greek women and they're like, yeah, don't do fucking drugs. These kids are disgusting. That is so fucking funny. Yeah, that's great. Did they also have the briefcase full of drugs?

Oh, that's a good question. Did they bring, they brought drugs? They brought a briefcase to be like, these are all the drugs that are bad. This will make you do this. This and people were like, they were like, how much for that. Yeah, yeah. Are you selling those?

Are you selling those? No, I don't remember that. Fourth grade. It increased. You were so young. It was bad. Like it, it helped drugs in the war on drugs. I think, I think it was like, I think statistically dare increased drug use.

That's crazy. Well, it's like the same thing where like, you know, sex ed made like a pivot into like, you know, like you're gonna have sex and die. And it's like, or teach safe sex. Not that like safe drug use is the way, but like, the like complete don't do it. Absidence cause, yeah. absence is like... It causes anal, right. What?

That's what you was going to say. No, what I was going to say. I was going for it. Sex ed being old, abstinence only increases teen pregnancies. Right, right. So they're not teaching safe sex. That's right.

That's literally what you meant. No, I'm saying like being anal about it is what I mean. No, right, right, right. No, no, I got you there. That's exactly what you meant. If you just do sex ed for the first time. Oh my God. My mom brought me to like mother-daughter night

and I wanted to die. What? Well, you and your sisters were smoking cigarettes at like 10 and talking about it. No, my sister did make me go up to my dad and be like, what are testicles? And it was awful. My parents, like I said, we did not talk about sex at all. But it was a household where if there was a mild sex scene in a movie, my mom would be like, close your eyes. Call your mom right now and be like, hey mom.

Absolutely. I have had sex. I've had sex this month. Just letting you know. But I remember, I think my parents had the talk. their version of it. I want to say I was like 13 or 14. So they walk up to me,

I'm scrolling eBOM's world. Hell yeah, dude. So like, I've already, I'm seeing everything. I've seen things. And they truly were just like, they kind of were like, so you know. And I was like, yeah, I already know. And they're like, oh, man.

Did you know? Yes. By the time I was 13 or 14. Yeah. He was lying his ass. No, I was. Well, I imagine like you're honest. Amanda, unlike you, I actually used the internet as a child. Listen, we had one

She was outside talking to trees We had one computer My mom was super strict But I would use it at night My mom was super strict about Internet and TV stuff So were we When your parents go to sleep

You had a view of the world No, don't start with me I also I would also be at friends houses They'd be like dude I found a photo of a vagina And you'd be like What?

They'd be like you want to see it I'm like yes Well we were in second grade They'd be like On some website They're like check this out And it's like I downloaded porn on LimeWire

It's gonna be done in five days. That's really what it was. Check this out. It would be like this weird kind of blurry image. It was like a pixelated picture. Exactly. And me 11 is like, so is okay.

Okay. Okay. Yeah, for sure. Well, we found a playboy in second grade. Whoa. We did. It was in the alleyway behind his house. It was like between the chainling fence and like a garage and we were just small enough to like

slip back there. What kind of movie is this? It really was. It was. The outsiders? Look what's happening? And we like slip back there and we're like this and he's just like look. And we were like, whoa. Put it down, ran home.

You left it there. We go back to it. Communal play. You would go back to it. It was your spot. Yeah, like it was at the top of my block and like Frank said, it's like it was a driveway that had like a fence and then there was a gap between the next garage and this garage that you could like walk through and at the end it was like shoved into a crack.

And it was just like a playbook. It was like a communal playboy. Taking it would have been so different. One of the days one of your teachers walks by, he's just like, oh, oh, I'm going to keep on walking now. It's like, oh my God, this fuck it. And it was all, like, fucked up from the rain and shit. Oh, it's from like 1970s. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's a lot of hair in here. Do they look like that? Wait, that's, so I like, my, I don't know if you guys ever heard of this, but do you remember the, I don't know if you remember this, but my mom had this big book. like an encyclopedia book called The Joy of Sex. Have you ever heard of this? Your mom got after it. No, this sounds like a fairy tale. It's like a 70s.

It's like a 70s book with like sex, drawn sex positions of like, like the guy looked like Chris Christopherson. Hell yeah. And no, it was full like. The owner of Ragged Mountain. Well, Uncle Merle. Wait, that's it. Don't the fuck up. No, it was like full.

70s drawn out pictures like explained sex positions and me and my friends would go up to my mom's room and like really sneak attack and steal it and look through it like the never ending story. Yeah literally but they were like hippies it was like the joy of no

no literally it really was it really was like that was the only like magazine we found but it really was like the early internet we're like you'd go on Kazah and like you would be like I'm going to download the new 50 cent album but it was just like a picture of like a top

just some random topless one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then like the computer would freeze so we would have to like yank the power out of the... To turn it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, you know what we used to do? That was like, this is, I mean, this feels like now we're ancient basically, but because you didn't have access to the computer

but you're like, Laura, I got to put this corny energy somewhere. We would go to a pay phone and you would just dial 1,800 butt sex. Or anything. Like, you can still do it. Like you could still go, if you call 100, like, um, big

tits or something, like, it'll just pick up and it'll be a girl being like, ha, it's like a recording. And she's like, hi, big boy. You want to bounce around these big boobs? All you have to do is pull out that big credit card. Yeah. Yeah. Did you have a credit card? No, no. No, we would hear that and be like, oh my God, and hang up it right way.

Wait, that's amazing. You didn't know that. I wish I tried that. Do it right now. A very early episode. Do you remember. where we did that on the podcast? Yes. We were calling all types of shit. Yeah, because it's anything that, like, it's the seven letter, so it could be, like, you know, like, sex fuck or, like, tits. Like, anything like that.

They have cornered the market. Yeah. This says a website right now, and now it's on my work laptop. Yeah. Yeah. You guys messed up Selena now. Sorry, Selena. I'm telling you, if you call the number, it's a recording.

It's, like, it's, like, very, like, old school, like 80s. It's like, d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-t. She's like, hello. And you're like, this is ridiculous. Yeah. So that was how we would like, we'd be like, oh my God. But you'd have to hang up quick because then you'll get, if you stayed on the line, it would like charge you like $8 for a minute or something like that.

Yeah. How would you pay on? Yeah, it was a pay. Well, I mean, if it was, but like if you called from like a cell phone or a house phone or something. Oh. Yeah. This is so funny. It's tough.

Dude, thinking about these stories now is so funny. I feel like I haven't told that. Yeah. The magazine is hilarious. You got, your fans are probably like, what the fuck is going? I've got up in New York No No they're fine

You've said some crazy shit Yeah we have I've never told the joy of sex story Because nobody knows what it is Yeah Have you seen the miracle of sex The video? The miracle of life

Yeah You all have to watch it in Have you Is that a baby born? Have you seen You know Childbirth? Anything about that

Do you know what that is? No I remember we I had to watch Like a birth video When I was pregnant And it was really hard Yeah It made me so

I don't know if your wife did, but like it made me so scared. Oh my God. It's like a thing you have to watch. You don't have, but like your insurance, your insurance will like send these, these videos. And your OBGYN will like, be like, oh, you should watch this to get educated. And you don't have to. But I love to know everything. I'm like, I want to know it all.

And some of the videos are very, very medieval. Like the things they need to use. Like if your baby gets stuck, they have to suction or clamp them out of there. Anyways. So that was fucking wild To watch that as an adult As a kid you're like, yeah Well the first time we were like introduced to sex ed

We had it was fifth grade And our parents had to like sign a waiver And our fifth grade teacher The one that taught it was just like An old raggedy German woman So like she was like Four foot four but had pipes that could She would scream and you could hear it from blocks

A sonic boom of a floor Yeah And so it was like You know she sat us down and it was just like if you laugh, you're out. Whoa. And like, it's very, very serious.

Like, they took, and like, we're like, okay, all right. And then the first, like, she opened up the very first class. Like, she was, she was baiting us. Like, she was trying to get people. She was ready. The very first thing that she said was

the penis is just a miracle. And you hear this out of an old German woman's name and him and one of our other buddies were gone within seconds. Yeah, that's tough. You were out before anything? The penis is a miracle out of this woman. Are you kidding me?

It's like, you can't even write this kind of shit. The penis is a miracle. I was like, come on. I think I may have looked over at Frank, and he was just like, yeah, all right. Which is so like, I'm losing it now. That's really tough. So they kicked you out and you just didn't get to learn about sex at all.

Yeah, I think that you just can't do the class anymore. Or maybe I was able to do the class. I can't remember. But shows how much we retained. The education did not stick. I don't remember. Well, I think you're just, you're way too young. You know what's funny about that too?

And when we were in fifth grade, I don't know if you guys had this at this age, but first of all, chalkboards. Yeah, back in the way. Of course. But we had a room. We talked about this recently, and as we were talking about it,

we were like, wait, what the fuck? She would send two kids to go clean the erasers. And there was a dedicated room that was like one by one. Tiny room. Room is generous. It was a closet. It was a, and there was a machine

that had bristles like this. Oh, and you would turn it on and it would just go like that. and it was a tiny room so we'd be in this small room that I think had like a one watt it was like very dark and you're just cleaning

and the whole thing was filled with chalk and by the time you get back to your classroom you're covered in your house we have like mesothelioma yeah seriously you get there and you get back to class you have the black lung

or whatever the fuck minors get that's insane you're like you're like all right here you go that's all we didn't not have that your face is just chalked

yeah kids today they don't have It's rough as we had. We had to walk. These kids don't know. We had to walk. Up hill. Back uphill.

Yeah. Uphill both ways. We had to clean and get coughs. Yeah. They don't understand. Uphill both ways. I don't think you know how hills work. Yeah, shut up.

That doesn't work. Wow. Sexad. Yep. Well, I think I've learned everything I need to learn when I had a baby. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Actually, I don't know.

I think, I mean, who are we to say what you have and haven't learned, right guys? Yeah, that's right. No, I guess. Yeah. I did from afar. Yep. Yeah.

How about that? Hold your hands for the rest of the episode. And get what? Yeah. I'm not giving you guys anything. So why? You don't get gifts for that. I was specifically told we were getting gifts.

Hey. And it's stuff. What's going on, everyone? What are you just fucking stop with shit? Do you want to stuff this French toast? I don't need to stop the French toast. There was a diner that I went to one time that they would have pancakes and then next to it

was just like every ingredient you could think of and they would put it in the pancakes. Hell yeah. Fuck yeah. I loved it. Savory stuff? Sounds like you love pancakes. Sounds like that's the number one type of feeling. You guys had a thing recently on your podcast where you showed a photo of a bunch of wings. Oh yeah, and which wing you would grab. And I picked the same

one as you. I was like that one because I'm like flats are so much better. Yes. We agree on it. Yes. The big bulbous ones, not my faith. The drum. I'm like, okay. I do like eating it.

I'm eating them all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like eating those because it makes me feel like a, like a, like a, like a man? Like a medieval. Yeah, like a medieval. Oh. Like a man for once?

Like a man for once, you little boy? I want to go to a run fair too. Yeah, I think. Like really dress up. What's the Courtney saying that like the ones here are crazy? Courtney was saying that like her sister's like a professional medieval medieval battle war

yeah like night fighting like in armor and shit that is so sick my dream is to wear legit chain mail yes and have someone stab me and me just go

no no no it doesn't work on me we could do that coward and I just spin and cut it out of yeah you guys could do a whole live show about that yeah we could do that we'll bring a chain mail

and a dagger to a show and you'll be on a horse yeah we'll love that what if you just with a gun yeah what have you shot each other We had guns and stuff.

You guys are from New York? We should commit to it, though, like, I'll wear the chain mail and you stab me, so they'll just be like, he's so mean to Frankie. Yeah, that's true. You guys should do that. Building that up. Or we'll stab Ant to really, like, commit to it. I mean, the show's over at that ball.

It's over. Yeah, yeah. Can't have that. Oh, my God. This was a literal dream. Like, thank you guys. He was like, oh, my God, I'm watching basement yard. I'm listening to Basement Yard.

You have to watch them. He's like, you'd love them. And then I did, and I was like, do I know these guys? Have I known these guys forever? Well, the last time we spoke about Shane, we said that Joey would like Whop his ass in a fight. So we were like on our toes walking on show. I was scrolling and I was like, oh, they talked about me.

And then it was that. And I was like, oh, okay. I was like, cool. Oh, they talked about me. Oh, poor guy. How did they pop up? I think we were just talking about like people we could beat in fights. And I was the first name.

No, there's no way. I can't remember the exact concept. You're like, yeah, a child. Shane. But I think we were going off of like height because we were saying like, you're trying to find your weight class. Yeah, and then I said I was like, you and Shane would be a good fight. And then I also, I gave you your flowers.

I was like, just dude is yoaked. Yeah. You know, but I don't remember what I said to be fair. You said, I think you said, you said I would drag him around the ring. I remember it specifically. Okay, to be fair, I would have said that about anybody. Yeah, for sure. That's very funny.

And I don't know that that's necessarily true. It's just what I have to believe. Yeah. It would be not a, it would be a fun fight tonight. Because there was those couple years where they were doing like the YouTuber boxing stuff a lot. Oh, that's why. I definitely had the thought of like, who would I have to fight? And I was like, are they going to make me fight Mark a Plyer if I do it?

I'm like, oh, like, you know. Well, that's why, yeah, because we had, I think it was right after we did Dr. Mike episode. Oh, and he said that he was like a fighter. Whoa. Yeah, he like fought on like two. He's another one. Not very health conscious. Oh, my God.

Not a smart health move. Well, we said during the episode, we were like, punch me in the face and then like, help me if I need help, you know. Believe it or not, he wasn't about it. But yeah, that's how we got there. But you guys, the boxing matches. We love you guys for years and just getting able to do this. It's been really, really cool.

Yeah, we were super hype when we found out that you guys mentioned our name. They were like, or someone like DM'd me or like something. And they were like, oh, dude, talked about you on Smosh. And I was like, what? Yeah. Trying to find it. And then I was like, I get the episode. And I'm like, how am my.
