Welcome back to the basement yard patreon. How you doing Frank? Why did why did you start like that?
I don't know I was full-on ready for you to do things one. Yes, just farted to and it's traveled up my my sweater
And it smells like a pumpkin really yeah, yeah, yeah
It's kind of impressive usually I fart like that around October people would pay for that what a fart your farts
You pay no one's ever paid for do the people pay for farts fucking party party pay pay farts people pay for those
People definitely pay for paying farts. I would definitely like an old Italian woman how they make sauce and put it in their garage
I'll fart in jars and put it in my garage dude people will be so fucking hype if you did that
Dude, cuz sometimes I'll fart and it smells like a doctor's office another time
It'll smell like a rubber glove other times it'll smell like pumpkins and then other times it smells like fucking poop
Yeah, yeah, well that that last one makes the most sense. Yeah, that one is most of the time usually when I eat ice cream
Really? Yeah, do you get do they like hurt you do they burn sometimes farts burn butts 11 that was Keith's old screen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but uh, no
I it doesn't really hurt too much because I like to eat healthy now sell it in a candle, baby
But back in the day I used to drink a lot of milk like I'd be thirsty and be like, you know what?
I'm just gonna drink a ton of milk and then I would you know
I'll be farting and it'd be burning my my rim
That's pretty good. Also one thing I wanted to say before we start here today
Yes, is that before when you were in the bathroom? I was in the kitchen and I was eating a banana. Oh, yeah, and as you were oh
Yeah, and as you were coming out of the bathroom, I was like, oh, this will be a funny joke
So I pretended to take the banana and shove it in my ass and was just like oh, and then you never came
So I was just in my you I was just in my kitchen and no one's looking at me doing you you had a smirk on your face
Yeah, I was like, what the fuck is he doing? Why is he laughing?
I was doing a joke of me shoving a banana my ass and no one was there to see it
So it was kind of I can't tell you how embarrassing like how like I have so many stories of things like that
Where I've like Becca's like come home and I've like pretended to be like face-down ass up like butt-naked
I do that constantly and she just doesn't like doesn't like walk into the room for like a while
So I have to just like get dressed in my own sorrow
In my own shame you put your butthole to the wind for no reason. Yeah, it was you know
But hey, I mean some of my funniest moments. No one has been around to see that's a fact Jack
But this episode Joey is something I came up with because I was going through the archives
And I was looking at stuff and I was pulling up old pictures in the title of this episode is
What's going on here? Yeah? Yeah, you have you have like 15,000 pictures on your laptop that date back to like 2010
They do they certainly do from my old and there are a lot that are still like gone
You know what I mean? Like there are some pictures that are just like gone to the time
This is a decade of memories. This is this is a decade of memories and some even older than that
Yeah, and what I what I did is I pulled up pictures that you really haven't seen right and
We're gonna go through and we're gonna talk about them and say like what's going on here
Yeah, I'm I can only see the first one right now. Yep, and as I hit next I'll see the others
Yeah, but yeah, let's talk about this one. This is the first one. This is a
2005 yeah, 2004 this is 15 16 years ago two things right off the bat
I just want to talk about you're wearing a witch hat and those boots wouldn't fit you now
I'm wearing Tim's baby New Yorker. Yeah, I remember those. That's the first pair of jeans
I've ever like I owned like kid jeans like, you know cute kid jeans
But like as like a pretty kid jeans, you know cute kid jeans like kids and jeans like gosh-kosh
Yeah, and they're like all like crumpled near like the legs and arms. This was your first like carpenter pant
There aren't no arms on jeans
Yeah, no, there's my like those are the one did it have one of those straps where you could like hold a hammer in there
I'm sure I'm sure I did I'm sure I did but these were like I remember this was like
Do you remember back in the day?
You would buy one outfit and you would try to make it you'd wear that one outfit like once every two weeks two weeks
What are you like six days? Yeah, you're going that frequent
But my outfit was those jeans and those Timberland boots, which I didn't ever tie. Yeah. Yeah, though. I mean listen
And that's also how I dress I don't think I wore jeans until I was like 14 years old
You there was a point in time where people don't realize I was compared to you a fucking giant
Yeah, yeah, it was a small
Fucking boy yeah, I was a little tiny man like look at like look at the size of your head compared to my fist
Yeah, you could have knocked my block off
That's why you always kept me around because you knew I could physically kill you probably until now. I'm fat
I
Like you got better looking and I think from there it just went downhill for me
I think it went uphill for a while did it and then there was a slide a big slide
Do you remember where these pictures were this was this was Jamie's basement
Yeah, the girl who I was in love with you were hard in love with from like kindergarten to 5th grade
Why the fuck did I say that little past that Joey? I think it was like seventh grade
No, no, no once we once we parted school. Yeah, well, I remember I used to pass mad notes
You chose the king of note passing ladies and gentlemen if you didn't know this king not the king
You were the king. I mean, I would pass all hell the king. Let me tell you you were past notes, too
I would pass I was the intermediary like I would you the note would be written by you giving me to give to somebody else
That's all baby. I was just a fucking passenger. Yeah, but then in middle school. You were slamming notes to I was slamming
But like not just little notes because that that's what we used to do back there
I used to write romantic novels. I used to write letters and pretend my name was Chester. Yeah. Oh god
I'll never get over that. But yeah, I remember this day specifically because and I remember those pants for some reason
I remember those pants, but this was in Jamie's basement. Yeah, and I
Someone took this with one of those cameras that we had we had a friend
I don't know a hat. She's still a friend. We just don't see her ever
Chelsea, yeah, who just like followed everyone with the camera
We have we have Chelsea to thank for a lot of our memories because she just had a camera
She was really into photography and like this was back before phones or for anything
She would take pictures of us all the time and it was just like it was like a thing like oh
My space and yeah, exactly where it was on my space and and do you remember like in this photo shoot?
We also like put on wigs and like I pretend to cut off your wiener. Oh, yeah
You pretended to have a black wiener. Yeah, I did. I did. What was that? It was like a thing a whip
There are a lot of weird things going on
Yeah, what the fuck is going on down there? This is the least of the issue
Yeah, a witch hat and then it was like a it wasn't a
Penis, but it was something that resembled like a hairy penis phallus. It was it was a very phallic-looking item one hundred and
You put it in your pants pretend and there was a wig that we pretend were your pubes that yes
Which back in the day you had some wild pubes dog. You always say that you did I remember I remember you had fucking pubes for days
Well, I'm gonna have to change your mind eventually because I've been keeping up with that as an adult
Let's see it. Yeah, not well not here. I know
Maybe a 15 million patrons will do that. Yeah, this was a good old day
Look at that. They're just just not a care in the world
Just a nice friendly couple of friends hanging out the only thing we cared about is where we were putting our fingers
Yeah, not on each other. Well, yeah, no, well
No one even knows you can interpret that how you will because I don't even know the answer
Talking about seeing my pubes. Yep. Yep all kinds of stuff. All right. Let's get to the next one next one
Oh, yeah, how do I get to that? You got a click on the okay click on that?
right
Joey what's going on here? All right
Frankie, uh I
Don't know I feel like I
You're looking at me. This is this is kind of like the Mona Lisa any angle you get it's looking right in your soul
It's looking right in your soul and like you feel I feel like you're disappointed in me
I but I'm actually disappointed in you. Well, listen. I'm disappointed myself. I
Remember I was in I think my first year at grad school and that was the most my facial hair could do
Like I just want to say this before, you know, go ahead. You go into like a long course yours
Yeah, I just let's quit quick thing that sucks
It was such an awesome time
That's it. I will say this
The mustache is actually pretty nice. Not bad. Yeah, it's just everything around it. I didn't I
Didn't earn like my face isn't allowed to have that mustache there. I was pretty heavy there
That was my fattest year. I think I would say you look nothing like that right now. I know. Thank God. Yeah. Thank God
Yeah, I remember I was so like in my mornings. It was a part of my routine to wax the end of my mustache. Oh
I was thinking wax. No, like I would I would get I
Bought mustache wax just to twirl the end of it. That's good. And it was a pretty good
I mean, that's a pretty good twirl. We got going on there, baby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's something but yeah, you look like
Now this so this was post-RA Frank first year Rd Frank
Is this someone that hold that you hold in your your heart? Oh, I fucking hated this version really much
Why it's just what you just so I
Can't even look at it. I can't even look at it because it's so distracted. Should I do it again? No
If yeah, you could do it now. Yeah, you could just don't have
That big of a face and the mustache
Glasses don't help either like those are there stylistically dead like there's no fucking like they're just a barren wasteland of any sort of style
Yeah, yeah, you you also just look like someone made you take this picture. Um, you're kind of like, yeah, fine
I think I think this was a candid taken by you
I don't remember where or when but I'm pretty sure it was it was around end of 2014 beginning of 2015
What an excellent year. It was it was a rough year
You're looking into the heart and soul of a man that was heartbroken. Yeah. Yeah, I was in a lot of pain there
Yeah, I can see that I
Can convey the pain
Great, all right. I'm having a great time. Not all these are of you some of them are like you were you're there for them
And there are time in our lives. Mm-hmm. Okay, next
Oh
Now this this is prime. Look at those gang signs and everything baby
So I don't I'll be honest with you at the time and I would say even now. I don't really know what I'm doing
I'm pretty sure that's like Albania. I'm yeah, I'm throwing up a W
Which is normally commonly associated with the west side the west side. We live on the east coast
We live on the east coast also on the east side of
We could not be more east. Yeah, there's we're not even on the west side of our town
Yeah, there's water right next to us and it's called the East River. Yeah, so, uh, is it? Yeah
Yeah, that's the East River. Oh, I was saying like right next to LaGuardia
That's like the bay and the ocean that I don't know
But you're wearing my green
Astros hat that didn't fit me it didn't fit me you could have fit my whole self in there
I well, so that's not like tilted that was put on your head normal and it just fell
Right, I'm not going for a ti kind of no. Oh ti. How does he do it?
It's got to be some sort of tape. It's gotta be right away him and his wife
We've got some crazy allegations right now. Wow, what's going on that?
They were like they would you know having like sex parties and some of it wasn't consensual. Oh, no drugs and oh, yeah
That's not good. Yeah, that's probably why he's out of Ant-Man 3
He was in Ant-Man 3 he was in Ant-Man 1 and 2 now. He's out of Ant-Man 3 well
Tip don't call yourself tip by the way guys unless you want to make fun of but he has a lot of guns
He has guns he has money
You know he's got money. Okay, so that if you got guns and money you can call yourself whatever you want tip dip
Yeah, flip still gonna need some consent. Otherwise, you're gonna deal with that jail
Oh, yeah, then you're gonna be getting the tip and fucking jail, right?
We thought we were like I
To our defense go we weren't like this like this was a joke
No
To an extent like we weren't like thrown up gang size. We were like when you would talk with us
We'd be like yo, what's up like we're normal, but like when we were like on aim
It was like yeah, welcome to the block the block. Yeah, we live in the hood
Yeah, yeah, you know with the boys boys the boys live in the hood with the boys on the block on the block
I'm in the crib it the crib
Yeah, the bat cave was on my that was my phone number and my my house phone number in my phone
Your house phone number was the bat cave. No, no, no, not the bat cave
Dubbat cave. Gotcha. The D is very important. So that would make you the Batman the Batman
Was I to Robin?
You were probably to Robin. Yeah, okay, but
Yeah, I remember this picture because this again Chelsea hooking it up. Yeah, I was wearing scarface boxers
That said the world is yours around the the elastic crazy part about that is that it wasn't
The world never was mine and it never will be baby
Did you have any of those like graphic boxers I
remember
One of my first pair of boxers when I made the switch from tidy whites to boxers. I thought I was so fucking cool
yeah, whoa and
hindsight
And they were just four leaf clovers and it's and it said feeling lucky. Oh, yeah
And I wore them to the bone dude like I I killed on to them. They had rips dude
I still have some boxers from when I was in fucking sixth grade. I still have my loony tune boxers
They're like they're in my drawer. I'll never get rid of them because I have separation issues
obviously
They are I mean think about the balls that
Dropped in those eventually. Yeah da balls da balls on the block with the boys in the crib in the crib and the hood
Yeah, uh in the back case honestly. Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and
This was just this was it. This was quite this was quite the time
Unreal we like what was the like did you have any because you wore like pretty much like just like
Fucking Tommy Hilfiger like with sweatshirts and just baggy sweats. Yeah. Yeah
I like I said, I don't think I wore jeans until I was like 14 and then when I started wearing jeans
They were big big old jeans big jeans big jeans Averilivine looking jeans. Yeah, never wore any chains like on my pants
Oh, I didn't really wear chains. Yeah, well, I yeah, I did go through a phase where I wore some wooden rosary beads
Did you I for like a hot you were a big fan of those fucking silicone bands
Do you know how fucking badly I wanted to get my hands on one of those braces that said I heart boobies
I had one and let me tell you they were just as stupid as you would have
I mean, no they were though. Well, they're about like breast cancer, which that's cool
Yeah, yeah, not breast cancer is not cool
But like no supporting ending it and research. That's the cool thing, right?
And boobies are cool boobies. Yeah, pretty dope. I mean
You had I remember you had like a Livestrong one and then like a sleepwalkers one
I had one that was wooden and had some like religious figures. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. I remember those
And I just I couldn't even tell you what I had the chains
I had my girlfriend got me dog tags for our for my birthday, right because you're what were your I'm a fucking soldier
Yeah, you're a soldier. I'm a soldier for her
Okay, I think it was around that time that song that doesn't need child came song came out
I need a soldier and she wanted you to be the soldier. I was the soldier for her, you know
I think that's also a tip Harris song. I believe that was Lil Wayne where you got it. I'm the hottest around
No, that's I think that's I'm a son. That's that's the guy. What's the what's the Lil Wayne one? I think so I ever made me
Don't know
Whatever. Yeah, doesn't matter. Good time. Good times next one
So
This is the first time I grew out my hair
Frank that was the longest it had been at that point in my life. How did it get so straight someone straightened it?
Got it. Um, you look like Andrew Kai
That's a kid we were like in third grade. God, how do I remember this?
I don't know but someone what I what this happened. They told me that I looked like you ever see that picture of like the cat with
A hollowed out lime on its head
Oh, I do know what you're talking
Dude that just looks like a very soft helmet
It was very like surprisingly soft because my hair naturally is very curly this this just
This feels British this
Yeah, I could see that just feels British like right before that picture. I was like the bullies is coming
Are you into like a psych ward like what are we what are we in? Uh, no, I was in a bathroom
Yeah, I know that it was my friends
I this is when I lived at college. I was in my grad. I think it was grad school again
Oh, okay, cuz yeah, that doesn't look like anywhere. That's nice. Yeah, no, no, no
It was a very poorly decorated bathroom. You could say that again. Uh-huh. It did look like it was very white
I'll say that just that's all scary things in this world are
very white
Oh
Yeah, you there was one year where you begged for this for your birthday. I did I did I did because I had
Frankie hit this picture for me for so long. Well, would you blame me? Yes, because it's a it's a relic and
It needs to be in a in a museum
By the way, how do you say that word museum museum museum museum? No, you don't I do I say museum
No, you fucking don't I mean you just said museum. Did I yeah, I said to see you
Do you speak differently to other fucking people? No, I meant like I purposefully pronounced it correctly to you
Oh, but I say like museum museum
See, I don't say museum. How do you say that the stuff you drink in the morning?
The fuck is that like it's hot you put coffee. Yeah coffee coffee
What the fuck does that do?
Okay, this was this was also a very heartbroken person you're seeing right here
Really cuz it looks like you're living it up. I you know, I was pretty happy. Yeah, it looks like you were really having a good
I go and the saddest part is I was very sober in this picture. Really? Yeah
You what would you you should grow your hair out? Yeah
One second
Mortal Kombat. What about it? What's that guy's name? There's a lot of the main guy in the movie Liu Kang
Yeah, Liu Kang and I kind of if I was Liu Kang I'd crush it
My animality would be fire. You don't know what I'm talking about don't even pretend you said animality
Yeah, you don't know what that is. You're a dumb bitch or is it bestiality? No, that's something different. That's fucking horses
It's fucking dogs. Yeah
Not just dogs just anything in the animal animal animal
Go ahead. What the fuck is going on humans are in the animal kingdom
So I ever tell you I saw someone suck off a dolphin once I randomly on the don't it was an Asian woman
Oh, that's I feel like I don't want to be like yeah, I don't just I don't be racist or anything
But I just want to say the Japanese they they do some stuff on the internet
And one of them one of them one of them one of them is sucking off dolphins because I did see it
I didn't even know dolphins had penis is up until that point. I mean they're mammals
They got pee-pees. Yeah, but I feel like they're hard to find and then also you have to get one
I could probably point to a dolphin's penis Joey
But what are you gonna do you're gonna get the dolphin out of the water the dolphin up point there?
It's a dolphin up. How are you gonna pick up a dolphin? It's like it's a big fish. It's a big it is a big fish
And they're smart. They know what you're doing and they'll know if you're going for that
Stop don't touch me there. This is my private square like they're they know just to like leave him alone
Stop did you learn that in college? I
Did nice
All right next picture
Okay, all right, you remember that time you remember this I do remember Frankie hit me up
And he's like yo, I'm gonna be on TV. Do you want to come I thought I was gonna be on TV
Right, and I actively chose to wear suspenders for the occasion. Yeah, so this is back
This was might have been like rd. Frank
This one. Yeah, this was this was yeah. Yeah, it was which would explain the suspenders suspenders
Yeah, and the glosses. Yeah, I mean look at you. You I mean you got the hair flip so close to still being a douche
Right, I don't look terrible there. You look good. I mean you're make me look tiny though because yo, you're you're a small boy
I don't think you realize
Like you're you look big and masculine and hot, but next to me it shrinks you down, right? You know, yeah
But did we went to so a friend of mine from college
She's like do you want to be on this game show? It's not you're like you'll go
Well, you might get selected and you can win like shit and I was like that was actually when I learned how they do the TV stuff
Oh, yeah, I didn't do you remember all right, so it was called best time ever with Neil Patrick here
It was a live show too very live
First of all canceled. Yeah, it's gone after like four episodes. Yeah. Yeah, they got out Baldwin and Nicole Schwarz
We were you sure sure. Yeah, sure. She and Nicole ball Alec Baldwin was the host
Yeah, no, he was like the guest host. He was like the guest announcer or whatever it was NPH was the guy NPH was up there
Do you remember like this might be mean he was like kind of mean in between takes
I don't remember that they would go to like commercial break and it would stop and he'd be like all right
He didn't have a deep voice like that, but like he would like bark orders at people. I get it's a very
hectic hectic area, but
One of the reasons that I like this show put me off to like Hollywood and like so much
Do you remember when we were in that room and they were like everyone say something like interesting about yourself, dude
That was the best time at all. Let me just tell from my point of view because it's so funny
So they they take the people that are possibly going to be picked to be put on the show and they put them in a room
You beforehand you get there like an like two hours before showtime and filming Astoria
So it was easy for us, right?
so we we went and
They put all the guests so me and all the other people that were came coming with the people who are actually gonna be on the show
On one side and then all the people who are possibly gonna be on the show on the other side
And then they were going up and down the rows and being like stand up and say something about yourself
Mind you they only put the most like bubbly and
In on TV and that's why when you watch the prizes, right? You get someone up there and they're like
This person's a psycho. Yeah, so
Everyone knows that going into this. I assume it seemed like it was like everyone's 20th time
I'll tell you this everyone knew it but us exactly
But the person that wanted to get picked and win money and it was it was so funny because they'd be like alright
Tell us something about yourself and a woman would stand up. She's like hi. Yeah
Agatha I speak three languages and my husband is a male man
And and then like all the people around know that they're being filmed and taped the whole time so they're like
Like it was fucking insane me and Frankie kept looking at each other like what the fuck we are in the wrong place
Yeah, we're like fuck. I don't even remember what my interesting fact was I can tell you this okay
I know that there was a
Legitimate trend of people saying they speak certain languages and then you stood up and
The first thing you said was hi. I'm Frank
I only speak English
He said something like I don't speak seven languages and then you said something else
I don't know what the fact was but it was just like
Whatever the fuck it was, but it was these people were just like hi. Yeah, it's like it's a stay-at-home wife
I have four lovely boys. Yeah, like they are the light of my life would drive me
Like just like fucking grow and this is I remember saying to myself like damn like that was visible and someone said like yo
That's what every fucking waking minute is in Hollywood like if you live in Los Angeles
You'll be like alright at a restaurant like yeah, can I get the?
Caesar salad. Oh you want the Caesar salad? Well, let me tell you there's no real Caesar on it, buddy
Pat like just like just want to take a shit on that person's face
It was exotic and then at the taping. I remember they had like a like a fucking role of
The pictures of people that were gonna get picked for the yeah, and mine was the one right before they got picked
Oh, and the trivia I would have swept this shit because it was like name the four
Members of the Beatles and the person up there was like oh, oh my oh my god Michael
Oh
Steven yeah, like they had no fucking clue all right before we go any further

He first of all he is no I kid you not like 90 pounds lighter here. Yeah
He's he's like 110 soaking wet here
He probably benched I would say 18 pounds in this picture and then now he benches
I think a hundred and million pounds so like imagine someone just like blew him up like just took him and just
Hey, and what are you doing?
Do you not realize that this is the internet and you can't just do that
Do you not realize sorry Josh's gonna cut this cuz he's gonna be embarrassed anyway
He's gonna hit me up. He'd be like
But do you remember what he was drinking
What he was drinking do you remember I remember this as clear as day because something specific
Yeah, it was fucking disgusting. It was pink lemonade Burnett's. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh
Disgusting there was a there was a
There was a liquor store like a block away from this place
We were staying out of Miami and we would go to it every single day
And we would buy these things of like this vodka Burnett's was it vodka? It was yeah
Yeah, and we would just crush them every night. That was I don't know. No. Yeah, I know not me
I was drinking mostly beer and the only thing that I got that I wanted to drink was
Jameson and you remember what happened to that bottle Jameson Eric tried to pop it as if it was champagne
He put his he popped it put his thumb on it and shook it as if there was some sort of carbonation in there
It's just whiskey just flat-out Irish whiskey. So yeah, but this was a good trip. It was a fun time a
Lot of memories from that, but hey Josh good good stuff fix that baby next
Look at that. Wow. Look at that. So I
Look pretty good that you fucking surprised you look hot still pretty baggy jeans though
Oh, they were big for I would say until maybe five years ago. They were pretty big. What's going on with Danny is my oh
Yeah, so Danny is one or two
Yeah, a couple I can't tell you how many pictures I have of Danny with that exact same face probably a thousand
He loved to do that face. Look at the same Francis prep football. Yeah, you were a football star, baby
No, I was I know I didn't want to say it also
Also, how old do you think we are in this picture? I can tell you exactly how old we are given context clues, okay?
Yeah, let's go with this
Cut out picture stickers of baseball players on your wall
What is that is
Um, we're drinking 40s. Yes, we are I want to say this to back in these days. However, all we were which wasn't 21
Nope, I think every weekend we would go to your house and drink 40s. Yeah, and that's where the
You know the the bad habits start, huh? Yeah, so this
Contrary to what you can see in the picture. This isn't a prison conjugal room, right? Yeah, that's my bedroom
That was my bedroom, which was painted
Prison floor gray. Yes. Yeah. Yes. That is that is janitor closet gray janitor closet gray and yeah, those are
That's it's
2010 I think it's like
January or February 2010. Oh, so then I was like freshly 18 or 19. Yes
So because all those pictures that thing the Yankees thing was it was like a collectible thing that my mom got
And it was like every newspaper clipping of the Yankees World Series and they had just one in 2009 also
So as an you know a teenager I had fat heads on my wall of the Yankees because yes
You know, yeah, and then
We were crushing 40s, baby
That was beer tasted better in a 40 if you ask me
Yeah, especially when your hands are duct taped to it. Yeah, Frankie wanted to play Edward 40 hands
It's a fun game every week, which if you don't know the rules you tape to 40s to your hands
So you don't have the ability to do anything with your hands, but drink but drink and you're not allowed to pee
You have one hour to finish the beers
And you win how much is a 40 like two and a half beers or something. Uh, well regular beers 12
So it's three and a half
Gotcha or three and a quarter or something a solid amount of beers. It's like three and a third
But yeah, yeah, that's so times that by two that's over seven beers in an hour, baby
I think if I drank a 40 straight up like
In like a half hour
My asshole would just fucking I couldn't do it now my ass would just you know what like a salute
We should do it. Well, we should do Edward 40 hands. I'm coming over on Friday. Oh, you have 40s there
I swear to God. I'm gonna die laughing. I'm first of all, I don't think they sell 40s in the state of New Jersey
If you bring 40s, that'll be incredible
I'm not gonna drink to 40s and duct tape into my hands, but I'll I'll then you go bigger you go home
Well, I'm gonna bring a 40. I'll bring oh, it's gonna be you meeting my daughter. Yeah with just 40s tape here
You're gonna be holding the baby. I'm gonna be holding the 40s. That's gonna be great. Yeah, but this is what we used to do
Oh, look see that is a religious rope
So what I'm wearing around my neck is a is a rope, you know, and then it's it then it's a
Crucifix that's made out of wood
Beginning of the end
Where did you get that and where is it gone? I got that in high school
They gave it to us for something and I don't know where it is
But I remember really liking it at the time
You can't throw out religious stuff because that's when you go to the hell
I I can't tell you how many times I've done that but like it's because like I'm not really like when someone gives me a
Cart like a birthday card. I go. Oh my god. It's very nice and as soon as you
Look away. Go on throw it away really because like I what am I gonna keep I have hundreds of birthday cards?
Yeah, I see I'm not the one thing I don't throw out is when you go to like funerals and you get those cards
Oh, yeah, I have a bunch of those. I can't I can't throw those out
I take an anordinate amount of those though
I'll take like 17 and just be like just you know
A lot of
Yeah, this is a good time soul patch Frank also just the soul patch. I don't know that's not a soul patch

Yeah, but we'll see I still got you know, we went how many times to go to Vegas like four five
I went five times. Yeah, so I went four
Booked five and then couldn't go to fifth. Yeah, I had to just eat the thing because I had to go to a wedding
but anyway
next
Okay, where the fuck oh
remember that wait, this is a
Legends in the city legends bar. Yeah, so you could see also directly into my nostrils. Yeah, like I could see your brain at this point
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could see a lot of this is later in life
These fucking people so it was it was LSU. It was the LSU vs. Bama game. I'm pretty sure
Yeah, you can see it in the background. This is LSU
Bama it was Saturday, November 8th. Yeah, November 8th. Yeah, this was like 2014
2015 maybe I think it was 2014. Yeah, and do you remember that kid? No, he was like
Yo, my dad like ran some department at fucking LSU come down and like he was like in a fraternity or some shit
And he was like trying to get you to like go down and spend like a weekend there
You don't remember that and he I was probably all over that too. Oh, yeah, I mean probably at the time
But then also they were maybe not these two people other people in that bar
They had that. Oh, there was a lot of decokane. The coke was flying. The coke was sniffle
Yeah, and
You guys loved this fucking bar
I just liked going because when like you would watch college football on Saturdays if there was an LSU game on people would go
insane like they would have like
Horns going off and like all this shit
I this was the first time I ever heard of a bar being themed after like a team or insane
I'd never heard about it before that dude. Yeah, there's tons. There's there's Florida bars. There's Bama bars
Now I know yeah, I had never known and I remember I this is the only time I had went a lot of debt
Lot of debt place was huge and this was the night that remember someone started a fake trend on Twitter that Macaulay Culkin died
And we all like bought beers and we're like, yo, we got to pour it out for Macaulay Culkin
I think I have like on my
Fuck it's somewhere. I think I was tagging a picture on Instagram and it was like RIP Macaulay Culkin
And there's all of us was just beers. What fucking idiots? Yeah, you were a big-time
Snapback guy too. Oh my god back then I was snapping so hard. You had a lot of snapback

You invested your money into putting your name on shirts that you make me wear
I hope these people are doing well. Yeah, I'd like to know that guy in with the eyes
Yeah, I believe oh, yeah, you know actually that's Chris Martin of Coldplay. So yeah, oh, yeah, it's very nice meeting him
Yeah, yeah, all right. Let's get to this next picture here. There's not many left
So do you remember this?
This was what was it called a central bar. Oh
In like the Lower East. Yes, and we had a friend
That was a wild night
We had a friend there was a party of like just a bunch of like super cool fucking Asian guys that were there
Yeah, and one of our friends belly flopped onto their table. Oh, yeah, I remember that and then had him on his back
At one point and then I have to use no names here because I'll get trouble. Here's the thing, right?
Our friends there for the most part. They're good people
But sometimes yeah, well not anymore because everyone's super tame now
But back in the day these days we would go up to a bar and it was like I this is too many people
Like this is gonna get out of hand something's gonna happen
Literally, I think in the first like nine minutes of us being at this bar our friend jumped on these guys table like this
Like as you know, why does he really flopped belly flopped on their table like bang? Yeah for no reason
Yeah, I was like, oh my god
It was it was a rock then a fight almost broke out not with them
But some other people I think and I remember this was one of our friends who at the time wasn't really a friend
But it's come to be a better friend now had broken up with like a long-time
Partner yes, and then went fucking AWOL that night
And I had to pull them out
Physically I had a lie to them lie to them about our friend getting jumped to get them out of a strip club
Do you remember that I do I do I do it was a good time man. It was a good time
It was a good time. This is I just I've always liked this picture because that's pure happiness just to just two boys
It's real happy. Yeah, honestly. Yeah, it looks like your head's not really connected
Like that looks like like as if it was my body, but you have photoshop photoshop your head on it. Yeah
Yeah, I mean you're doing something, but that guy I hope that guy's doing really I really hope he's having a great
Old-time because you look like this this magic. Yeah, exactly. All right. Let's get to a next one two more left. I think I
Got teabag
Why does this exist I was sick
Like in the head. Yes, obviously, but also physically are we gonna talk about the chin strap?
Are we gonna ignore it? We have to you can't ignore it. It's a little thick
It was as thick as it could get at that point in my life. Yeah, it does look a little dusty
It was my freshman year of college. So that's where you see the weight starting to come out
Well, there's not a whole lot of weight. I would you it was it was a Bruin. Oh, what? Yeah
I'm sure it was and there was a lot of calories being it was consumed. Yeah, I was like throwing throwing beers back
I used to get 40s of this malt liquor called Cobra
Cobra it was fucking dangerous. Did it have a debt in there? I might have done had it. Yeah for locos debt you
I almost put one of the four local pictures in here, but I didn't which one
The one it's it's just the fireplace engulfing the in neighboring area. Gotcha. Yeah, that was a night
That seriously was there was also like that's one of the drunkest I've ever been but not fun drunk. Yeah, that was like I
Was scared. Yeah, because I had just fist-fought Josh mm-hmm on the dock
Funny how full circle like our most dangerous drunk night. It was us three. Yeah
Let's do it again, baby. Look at Josh in the photo. He's here for this Josh was on the phone
On the dock and I walked up to him. I was like, you know who you talking to and then he just socked me in the eye
So I fucking tossed him you hired him years later
He just turned around and socked me in the face and I was like the fuck so I started fighting Josh and then after that was done
You threw a can or someone threw a can into a fire and because Frankie was super drunk
He thought I could just pull this out of the fire. Yep
So he stuck his hand into a fire and pulled out a can that was probably at 8,000 degrees at that place at least at least 20
Yeah, and then you also threw cardboard on it, which then caused a fire fire, which then do you remember how we put out?
I pissed on it. We peed on it. I pissed on it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, so it was a good night and also Espo
Drank two four locos and then couldn't get out of his chair. I think he sat there for four hours straight
He fucking loves that chair dude. He loves that chair. He loves that and this is pre-recall four loco pre-call
Yeah, which there was like a study that came out that was like those four locos
Were the equivalent of us their words small mountain of cocaine fire. Yeah, I was like, well, all right
All right
Well, now we know one time I drank two four locos on a party bus that had like those like lights like the green like the neon lights
I
To I thought I was like in space like it was just like tariff like I thought I was in space
Yeah, I was like pull over and let me out. It's not fun. I need the earth
But this was this was around that time
And I don't know why I put the tea bag in there. You're just a funny guy
You know honestly comes full circle because you're a big tea boy now. I love tea. Yeah, don't drink coffee
There's a big tea boy a big herbal tea
Right yeah all kinds of tea. You know, there's a tea spot over here. Where there's it's on
Oh the Queen's room. I don't know what it's called
No, no, no, no, there's one. There's a small spot like right here and they sell tea
It's a tea spot. Not like I'm saying like I buy like loose leaf
Why'd you say it like that loose leaf? Oh, not like loose leaf not loose leaf loose leaf
Do you buy loose leaf? I haven't wrote on loose leaf and how many how long years?
You know at least eight. Yeah
But yeah, no, they got a herbal tea spot over here damn
How does a tea spot even make money dude, why don't you don't realize a lot of people are fucking super into tea you watch
Oh, here we go. Joey's gonna read about it and they get super into tea and tell me like yo, if you ever drink tea
I'm gonna come here and you're gonna have a fucking cabinet full. No
No, uh, watch some tea the other day
But I think about this largely like a tea spot, right?
Teas cheap you how much is it tea?
I mean a cup of tea could be cheap, but you can get teas and they're expensive
No, sure, but it's like a cup of tea is like what like a dollar eighty. Yeah. Yeah, so
With the rents around here. How do you make enough money with this tea? Oh, yeah, that's a good
That's I don't know how any business realistically survives around here
I mean foods one thing you could make it like you buy a burger or something like 20 fucking bucks or something
You're like, okay, and like it costs like three dollars to make that but tea. Yeah, I don't know
I don't know around here. It's crazy. It's crazy. All right. Last one
Yes, oh, yeah, that was a fucking good costume for you. I won
Full-on won a costume contest for it a bar tab, right? So there's red in my face. It's not just black. Oh
This looks bad. It's
Think about it till right now. Yeah, you're too face and that was yeah, so that's it. That's not black
Sleep
That's not black you could see the red on my cheek. Yeah
You were meant to look like
To face and have like a fucked up like it was red and it was like supposed to be it's red and burgundy
Yeah, but what the fuck are you?
So I actually remember this night clearly because you at first of all my arm is just small dust
What is that?
But I push up will you I remember you were super psyched about your costume. You're like, oh, yeah
I'm gonna be too face and like whatever
and
You were like, yeah, let's go out to a bar and I at that point had no plans
I think this was Halloween night like legit. Yes. Yes, it was and I never liked going out on Halloween Halloween night
So then I was like, oh damn. I need a costume because you were like, it's a costume thing
We might have been underaged here. We definitely were underage
That's probably why I needed a costume so I was like, oh if I use a fake we were definitely underage here also devino
That was my fake. I would use his I would use his
Fucking license. So I don't know how we both got in there
But so I just had that gray wig from like YouTube videos and I put on glasses and a wife beater
And then I put on jeans and I was like, yeah
So this was there was my favorite bar that got closed down dip our station love that place those boneless buffalo bites
Penis tell me they're not there. They were good. Yeah
But they had a costume contest and I went and and it was like $500
We're like $200. It was like a bar tab. Yeah, it was a $200 bar tab
So I went and ran up a bar tab. Yeah, and fully prayed to fucking win this cut because I was broke
Yeah, broke times. Yeah, and and I ended up winning and I remember Keith was drunk
Keith was next to me
So he was whispering in my ear and usually he likes to whisper into people's mouths. Yeah strong when he and he was
Doing the math in real time next to me on how many shots I could buy with this $200 bar tab
He's like to have a guy like that. So if a shot is seven dollars that he says you can buy one two four
Twenty you could buy it like 12. No did more than that like he was like full on more dead
He was doing math in my ear
But I pulled this up because I was like what the fuck is Joey dressed as
Yeah, I was just like a I like said I was gonna be like a redneck or something
Yeah, and DeVino obviously dressed as a child predator. Right, right, right, right, right, right?
He was Freddy Krueger, but I remember this night, man

Some drunk girl comes over and she goes a DS that means dick sucker
No, oh my god, maybe it wasn't not you but yo, I remember
Specifically you someone got sliders and there was like a DS

Yeah, because the place is dip Mars station. Yeah, and the girl comes over she guys. Oh you guys sliders dick sucker

We like made friends with the owners. So like they would be like I got these people free
Like we drank like a lot there. Yeah, and it was you know what it was
It was like a cool place because the music was never too loud
But it was loud enough that you couldn't hear everyone else. Yeah, and it was like booths
So it was very comfortable to like Joe just like have a beer. Yeah, but they're TV situation wasn't great
Yeah, I remember that their bathroom situation was also really cool
