Nice. Yes, I legitimately enjoy it. I'm not like you. In Jersey? Yeah. I don't fade it. You hate it, you hate it. I legitimately enjoy it because people like,

I feel like people always get nervous to like go up to people and they're like, oh my God, I'm so nervous. Or like, yo, dude, I'm so nervous. And I just like try to make people feel happy and like welcome. But this one was good. Okay.

So start rattling off a couple of celebrities I've been told they look like. Go ahead, go. No one? Well, no, I have been. So go over. The ones that you say or the ones that you actually look like?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, you've said like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Momoa. Yeah. The rock, I think you've said. Well, when he was skinnier. Oh yeah. Yeah.

When eighth grade? Fuck your skinny boy in eighth grade. No, I got recognized as Joe Sanagato. Shut the fuck up. I swear to God. I don't know if that says something good about me. Wait, hold on. Someone ran up on you and was like, you're Joe.

Not ran up, hold on. All right. You know what I mean? They pulled up out the van and pulled up on you. They were walking their dog and they were like. They did that? They did that. Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry. And he apologized. I'm sorry. You looked like someone I follow on Instagram. I'm like, who? And he goes, oh, this kid Joe. I was like, I look like Joe? And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I was like, Joe Sanagato, he's like, yeah. And he thought I was you. Really? Yeah. So I can add it to the list of people I look like. And I said, I was like, no, we host the show together. The base video. He's like, oh yeah, what's up, man?

I was like, yeah, I'm Frank. Oh, sure, what's up, dude? And, uh. Whoa, what was that? He didn't do the tongue. Oh, I was going to say, damn. I was this character. He's sending you signals, I tried to say.

Snatching signals like that. I was in character. That's why the tongue came out. But now I can add it. Now people say I look like you. Which that one hurts a little bit. And I don't think it's true. Yeah, it's not.

Because I don't wear that stupid fucking hair. Well, what? You have bangs. Right now, because it's down, but I comb it over. It doesn't matter, it still looks like shit. Look at you go. I'm fucking on fire. Jesus.

Totten here. That means that you're upset that he recognized you. Because you're like, whoa, my hair's so much better. I like it. That's all I have. And then after, I was like, I'm Joe Sanagato. And I screamed a couple like, you know, like racial slurs and homophobic things at him.

Oh, cool. Just so everyone knows who I am. Right. You know, what Joe thinks of the world. Appreciate it. Could you fucking imagine? Yeah. Like, yo, I saw someone in Manhattan three weeks ago,

a homeless man just rattling off racial slurs. Really? Like, yo, letting them fly. And bombing? All of them. What kind of, what was he? He was a white man. Yeah.

Like a dirty white. I was going to say a dirty white. Like a dirty white. Like a very tanned white. Like you've been out cooking in the sun. He needs a shower and it'll take a couple of, you know, tones down. He will look less European.

Yeah. He would look less like Egyptian. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. But he was just letting them fly. Yeah. And I was like, there were cops in right there. I was like, I actually had a, well, what are the cops going to do?

I'll arrest them for saying the n-word. I would assume so. Is that an offense? I think if you're like punching someone and saying it. And saying it, yeah. I don't know. Like I would hope that just saying it is like saying fire in a movie theater, you know, like you're inciting.

Fire in a movie theater. That's illegal. Really? Yeah. If you, in a movie theater, if you scream fire, you can get arrested if there's no actual fire. What if you say like, you'll fire? That's fire, dude.

If I take an arrest, dude. I was like, yo, make your movie less cool. Yeah. Fire, dude. What? Fire! Fire! Grab the kids!

Get under your chairs. Oh my God. You ever think about that when we were in school, it's like, oh, yo, there's an earthquake. Get under your desk. I'm like, what the fuck is that going to do? Cause they were like back in the, in like the like 80s, they would like teach kids like,

oh, there's a nuclear alarm. Get under your desks and like our school, I don't know if you remember, our school had a fallout shelter. Yeah, it did. I do remember that. But it's like, usually we would just get under our desk and be like, oh, this is a silver drill

or whatever the fuck we do. Mr. Silver and Mr. Gold. Yeah. Mr. Gold was like a shooter. I don't know if they were teaching shooter at that point. No, they were. I remember it's, Silver was like just an intruder. Like no one knew. Oh.

And then Gold, yeah, I think Gold was like someone as a weapon. Yeah, they'd be like, Mr. Gold is in the building. And then everyone would scramble to get under their desks. Which let's be honest about something real quick. If you're going to do that to like teach kids, have a less cool name. If I heard Mr. Gold, I'm like, yo, who, I'm curious.

I'm going to get this guy on my Instagram story. Who is this guy? I kind of want to talk to him. Yeah, do like Mr. like, like, what's a shit color? Like, or just say, like a, we got a, we got a big fat problem on our hands. Yeah. Over the loud speaker.

Just like, oh crap. We got a big, big fat problem. Hide. Just use that instead of these fucking like, terminologies. Oh crap. We got a big fat problem. Sound the alarm.

Why don't we have to like, just like dress it up. Just say it as it is. Mr. Gold, bro. Also like, we know what's going on. The teacher has to explain to us. She's like, I'm sure Gold's a guy who has a weapon that shoots bullets or like, just say gun. Well, I remember they would also say like knives

and like stuff like that too. Bro, how are you gonna take over a school with a knife? A big old one. Like I'm a shetty. Whatever, bro. We got a, we got a whole kitchen staff full of crazy old women. You know, remember those women in fifth grade?

You go there, try to get a triangle, a triangle, a fucking rectangle pizza and they put like peas on it. I'm like, bitch, I don't want the peas on my shit. Or one time, I remember there was like some mixed vegetable bullshit cauliflower medley. A medley. You like that. Yeah.

So she would put the medley and then she put the pizza on it. I was like, what delicacy is this? I kind of like, I am still astonished at what we were eating when we were that age because it was, you were eating like pizza out of a fucking hole in a brick wall in a school that smelled like fucking geriatric feet. Yeah.

All the, all the, all the lunch women. Lunch ladies. I was trying to be polite. Well, there was a lunch man. There was a lunch man. Was there a lunch man? I remember lunch boy. I'm pretty sure he thought,

I'm pretty sure he just like stocked up on all the shit. Did he? Yeah. He was like a runner. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. But all the lunch women were very old, very old. There's never any like sexy lunch women.

Yeah. I don't remember. It's always old women who have like a back problem. And then like the, like the, the, the, like, what are they called? Like the AIDS at the. Oh dude. At lunch.

Like they would be the ones who would like line up in alphabetical order. We had like Miss Lynch, Miss Rodriguez. Yeah. They were Miss Vinnie. Damn, Miss Vinnie. Oh, her daughter. Remember Miss Vinnie's daughter?

Yeah. Miss Amanda. Yeah. She got married, but I forget her last name. Yeah. No one cares about it. Yep. That was like the only good looking part of lunch time as a child.

Yeah. I remember. Everyone else, they sucked. Yeah. What are we going to do? You just, you go to lunch, you get a triangle. Pete, I keep saying triangle. Yeah.

Pizza is normally triangle. Triangle. That's okay. You want to talk to the mic or no? Pizza. Yeah. Triangular. Triangular.

Triangular. I had a rectangle pizza. I get a nosebleed and I go play kickball. That was my life. That's it. K through five. That was my life. If it was raining out, you best believe those non-cocky boys

are coming out. Or I'm just like yugioeing on someone's face. Fuck yeah. Attack. Attack. Yeah. Not defense. Magic card, trap card.

I got them all. What? I wish I had my yugio card still. You remember that? Do you ever play that magic, the gathering, gathering? No. That was that and D&D. We're like, where I drew the line.

It's D&D. Dungeons and Dragons. Did I ever tell you I was asked to be on a D&D show? Like when? Like a year ago. What? Yeah. Like a year ago, I was asked to be.

What do you do on the show? Were you the Dungeon or the Dragon? I was neither of the Dungeon or the Dragon. I was asked to be on the show. And it might have been a little more than a year ago. But I'm not going to name the show because I believe they're still going on. They're awesome people, really, really nice, really kind.

Stop justifying this. But I just couldn't, like I didn't feel like I was the right fit. So it was like a podcast. And apparently Dungeons and Dragons podcasts are fucking big old boys. They're big podcasts? They're big. They're something to have like fucking like 40,000 patrons.

Dude, a lot of people, god damn. Some people like love dragons, dude. Dungeons also are kind of dope. There's like a lot of like celebrities and shit. First of all, I wish I could fuck with a Dungeon. A Dungeon and a Dragon. Well, it really depends if it's locked up or not. How nice it is.

I don't want to get. If the dragon is in the dungeon, then we got a separate part of the dungeon with a big glass thing. And like a cool dungeon with like torches, not like a scary one. Yeah, no fluorescent lights. I don't want any cool lights. And anything neon?

I'm not in it. Yeah, no. But a dungeon, though, that's like brick, steel, torches. Maybe there's like some spider webs. I thought you were going to say torture. I was going to say, oh. I'm not. There's got to be torture in the background.

I think they need to acknowledge that torture had happened. But like at that point, no torture. No, I'd like to hear some torture like in the distance. Yeah. And then I go, yeah, what was that? And they're like, forget it. Don't worry about it. And they don't even give an answer.

They're just like, yeah. And I go, OK. What is that? Yes. And you go right on. OK, all right. Radical. But they asked me and it was like.

That'd be a cool restaurant idea. A dungeon? Yeah. Pretty sure they had that medieval times. No, bro, it's not a dungeon. That's a children's fucking. When was the last time you went? When we went in like second grade.

I know. I want to go back showing that. I was so hyped because I ate chicken with my hands. I was like, yo, my mom would be tied right now. Bro, they gave me chicken with my hands on a plate and a bowl of soup. And they were like, figured out. Yeah.

And I'm like, bro, am I supposed to scoop this soup? And then a fucking Pepsi. A Pepsi? It's like, I was so in like. Wait, you've been to medieval times like recently? No. No, I wish. It's in Jersey.

That's all my, that's all. Let's go to medieval times. Just maniac. I don't know if they're open right now, are they? What, you mean like COVID? Yeah. Dude, I'll just wear a helmet. I don't think that's how that works, Joey.

Yeah, you can't get COVID if you're wearing a steel helmet or like chain mail. Yo, chain mail, by the way. I wish. Genius invention. I wish. If I was wearing chain mail, like you literally can't stab me. You think how crazy that is?

They're open. Medieval times is going. Is it expensive? Can we get like a VIP? I'll tell you right now. I want to sit with the king or whatever the fuck. I definitely, I want to joust. I want to like spend $500 on a ticket.

I don't want, all right, buy tickets for medieval times. Do they serve alcoholic beverages? Because that could get dirty. Holy shit, these guys, they sell out. They're sold out. Oh no, that's just for this weekend. All right, yo, if we were to go on like a Thursday, it's 7 PM, hypothetically.

What, thirsty Thursday at medieval times? How much? Bro. A lot? What do you think an adult ticket is? 120? No, not that high. Oh, OK, like 65?

83. That's not cheap. That is, why? By the way, for anyone who doesn't know, do you think people don't know what that is? Medieval times? Yeah. Yeah, they don't.

So medieval times, like we went to, we went when we were in like second grade or something. It's basically like, it's like medieval times. And you go to this place and you sit in the crowd and there's a bunch of knights and they joust each other. But it's like a show. So it's like an old, like a night's tale. Exactly, if you ever saw the movie A Night's Tale,

imagine if you were there eating and watching. And like, you can like kill people with your thumb. Yeah, like they tell them like, yo, should I kill this guy? And every time they're like, yeah, kill this fuck. All right, so they have different packages. The queen's royalty upgrade. Nah, bro, we want kings, fuck queens. It goes as high as king.

I mean, queen. It goes as high as queen? That's progressive. Go ahead. Queen is dinner and a show. They have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free meals. Good for them. Oh, that's stupid.

I want to get sick. VIP landed. You get a VIP landed and your own cheering banner in the color of your night. Oh, hell yeah. To wave proudly. All right, I'm picking three, two, one, blue. Yeah, I mean, what else are we going to do?

Best season of house, first or second row in the center? Bro. First row? I'm trying to get some dirt on me. Frame pictures of the crew. And you get hats when you leave. These are like 90 bucks each. Also, you know what I remember?

I remember going to the gift shop. I got an axe. I got an axe and a shield. I got a shield. I was ready to go to the parking lot. That's where I was at. Bro, I had a wooden axe. Asking motherfuckers what?

I had two wooden axes and I was gimmily 100%. If you think for a single second, I wasn't gimmily. I was axing people in the axe, you know what I mean? But so I did a dungeon. They asked me to do it. And they were like, oh, do you want to do a test episode to see how you feel? And it was like, all right, you walk to the gates of Mordor.

And there is a level 12 paladin there. You go up to talk to him. What do you say? And like, yo, you freestyle the whole thing. And depending on what you say, they roll dice for it. So it'll be like, this is confidence dice. This is theft dice. This is a temptation dice.

You can just straight up rob a paladin. I can be like, yo, I walk up to him and I fucking slit his throat. And it's like, all right, well, let's roll your combat to see if you're going to kill him. You should have been like, you suck his dick off. They would have been like, let's see your fucking, your sex dice.

Lick neck, you know? I don't know, I probably just get to know him. Like, kiss him on his neck, man. Like, breathe on him a little bit. Let him know I'm here. But I remember my character was like this over-confident douchebag that was trying to be woke, but couldn't figure it out. That sounds about right.

You sound, well, hold on, for me, no. No, it was making fun of someone we knew. So you have to play a character? Yeah. And I think my name was like Xander or something awesome. Why the fuck did they pick you for this? They just said, hey, we think we're doing a bunch of, we're getting some other people and people from podcasts

and influencers and blah, blah, blah. Damn, dude. And I was there. Good for them. But I didn't end up doing it. I hope all I think they're doing well. Did you really buy in? Were you like, oh, I'm going to put a crazy spell on them.

I remember there was one time it was like, I was going to talk this guy up to seduce this dragon woman. And it was like, you got this, bro. And they're like, all right, let's roll our seduction dice. No way. There's seduction dice? There's dice for everything. Dude, seduction dice.

Roll that shit. That's what I'm saying. Wait, what happens if you roll a one, you're not that cool. If you roll a six, you're getting fucked. If it's like, no, there's some that go up to like 28. 28? Level 28 seduction? Dude, someone's getting their cock sucked off.

Jesus Christ. There's a lot of levels. We need to get some seduction dice. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, we got to get some dice. You want to? Yeah, we can play. Well, no, I just, you know.

But it's like, they have games, and they call them campaigns that go on for like 30 years. They're like celebrity, like Joe Mangelo. Manginello. Oh, the smoky guy. Yeah, the guy. Remember I told you when I have gray hair, someone said I would look like him?

Him. OK. The one with Sofia Vergara. First of all, no. But OK, yes, I know who you're talking about. Well, there you go. Thank you. He's part of the Dungeon and Dragons League.

He has a room in his house. That's just a Dungeon and Dragons room. No, he doesn't. You didn't see this? And he plays with like James Gunn, the big show, fucking random ass people. Yeah. What?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, time out. So the elites of Hollywood are playing Dungeons and Dragons together? Yes. OK, the conspiracy where they're all like, there's like a bunch of weird blood sacrifices, I now believe it because you're saying this.

Bro, if I showed you, look at this image. Like they like get into it. Why the fuck? Is it like live streamed or something? Sometimes they live stream them. And they're just rolling seduction dice? He has like a whole room in his house that looks like a fucking like 12th century castle.

What the fuck? Isn't that sick? Can you imagine going at the Joe Mangelo's house? This dude has like a little city on his desk. Yes, they have like trees. And it's like, yo, you've made it to like the fucking mystical city of Glingbong. I'm not making fun.

Like, yo, it is a really like intense. No, I've done I've done nerdy shit in my day. But that's just like that's that's that's wild. I just didn't expect James Gunn and Joe Mangelo to be playing together. It says here that he plays at the Gary Gygax Memorial Dungeon. That's an awesome one.

Someone died in this dungeon. I don't think he died. I think that's the person that made it. Oh, I thought there was like a fucking Jesus. Imagine that was your character. That looks sick. Are you kidding me? Yeah, but like Dungeon Dragon Wizard.

Arcane, Arcane the Cruel Fire, dude. I don't even know what to say at this point. I don't know how we got here, if I'm being honest with you. We're talking about dungeons and shit. Yeah, I got recognized as Joe. So I'm now and now I can add that to my list. I'm Joe saying I got to look alike. You fucking a dungeon?

Would I? Yeah. What kind? Like a legit dungeon or like fucking 50 Shades, like red room dungeon? I'm talking about you stumble upon a dungeon and it's like it's lit by torches and like there's a skull and you're like, is that an animal or is it like, you know?

A skull on a spike. Yeah, it's like, is that an animal or is that like, you know? You're looking for like booby traps. Well, you're looking for fucking booby flaps. Yeah, booby bags. Booby bags. And so like, you know what I'm saying? And like there's just like a wooden table

that's got like a soft tablecloth on it and there's like a Croatian flag, you know, like what the fuck? But then you just ignore it. What Croatian? I don't know. I'm just trying to throw some like culture in there. Just think of evil things. Croatians are nice, aren't they?

The Croats? No, the Croatians, that might be it. Croatians is right. I don't want to shorten anything. All right, so paint the picture. I'm closing my eyes, walking through this dungeon. Do I come down steps or is it like I walk into like a bull? Dude, obviously you walk down steps.

Damn, down these steps. You walk down steps and like there's a perfectly lit hallway ahead of you, but how long? Oh, it's long. Long highway. Yeah, you can't even see how far it is. But you go to lean against the wall because you're like, this is going to be a long walk.

And then you hit a door in a stone button. Yeah. And then the door opens and then you walk in, right? And there's like torches everywhere. And there's there's a there's a skull. And you're like, I don't know if that's like, you know, I'm saying I don't know if that's like a. I mean, if I'm being honest, you had me at long hallway.

You like long hallway. I think like there's something sexual about walking to sex. And it just sounded a long, long hallway. You know what I mean? What? Like you're like the anticipation is like, oh, shit, I'm only at fucking torch eight. Oh, like a hotel.

Yeah. Well, maybe not. Hotels have really long hallways. Maybe. I feel like when you're a kid, you like long hallways because you like to run up and down. Like you I've never felt faster than the time I sprint Sprout sprinted sprinted in hallways.

Sprout, dude. Bro, let's be honest, the fastest. And did you ever like in any of the schools you went to run in a school? Like I'm talking like through the hallways like, boom. Yeah, yeah. I'm actually parent teacher conference when like there was no one really around at night.

I'd run around. That's right. I'd get some I get some reps in. You get your reps in. Yeah. Run around. That's why I would do that. But yeah, I don't know.

Something about a dungeon just kind of seems kind of cool to me. I'd be scared because I don't really like being on the ground, especially in like creepy territory when there's like skulls because I'm like, I don't know if this is a. Have you been there before? No, but I'm just like picturing it, you know, like there's always mouse. There's mice and that's a shocker because spelunk.

I feel like spelunker Joe is just coming any day now. Who's that? What does that mean? You don't know what spelunking is like cave, cave diving, cave climbing, spelunk. Yeah. No, I have no idea what that is. You don't know what a spelunking is like going cave dive.

You ever see that movie, The Descent? Yeah, they were spelunking. So like, but like in water? No, I mean, it could be water sometimes. But I don't fuck with caves at all. I don't know how they're real. Like how how is something that hollow under stuff that heavy? I don't know, but I'm not going to be there when it closes.

If it closes, that's the thing. Well, I I can watch video like videos of people like crawling through. I'm like, bro, you guys are fucking idiots. Like I get so fucking mad. Those videos of people like in Hawaii and it's like they go into a rock opening this big and it's like water. Bro, how?

I'm like, no, how do you got? I would be I would be dead. Yeah, I would be dead because I wouldn't make it through. That's yes. I can't even think about it. Like it freaks me out. It freaks me out. I saw a video of a guy who was like stuck

in like the small little ice cabin and he's wearing like a fucking one of those helmet lights. And I'm like, why'd you go in here? Yeah, don't. Everyone's like, yo, like I want a fucking adventure. Like climb Mount Everest and go through ice caves. How is a tight, dark hole ice hole a fucking cool? It's I'll tell you how I'll tell you why not a dark, warm hole.

That's dope. Now we're talking. But a dark, hot, cold hole. If you were like in the desert and there was a hole and it was just like, you know, go in it. You know, bro, mummies. I've seen those movies, mummies. Yeah, when you go mad, dust, a cave, there's spirits in there, dude.

There's a there's a fucking bird. I just think of Aladdin, like walking into the mouth of a dragon, like a fucking sand tiger. And it just like closing on me. No, bro, I've got problems there. No, I'm afraid to even jump into like running water and shit. Like people like just walk into fucking waterfalls and shit. I'm not afraid of that.

I feel like there's like the little microbes. I don't know what that is, but you know, you're you're right. I'm with you on that. The ones that like swim up your penis and then just like hold on to the walls. Bro, I heard that one time and it ruined waterfalls for me. And they were like, oh, don't pee in water because like that helps the warm stream helps the microbes like fucking like rock climb their way into your cock. Yeah.

I heard that you could not even be in the water standing outside of it, pissing into the water and they could climb up your stream. Bro, honestly, if they do that, good on them. They deserve to be there. Yeah, they deserve this dick. But I don't know. I went up once I heard that I was like, I'm done with water. Bro, you can climb up my pee hole.

You deserve to be in there because that is that is hard. I find it hard to believe that something could fit inside my pee hole. Bro, they're things that are super small. Absolutely. No, I can't. I got a small pee hole, dude. Would you like smaller than usual? That's like a really?

Yeah. When I was younger, I had to go to the doctor. Stop. I'm serious. Hold on. What? When when I was born, they had to open your pee. Yeah. But I wasn't. But I wasn't.

I wasn't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I wasn't. This cannot be real. I wasn't super young. I was like eight. Bro, I think I saw your dick when you were eight. What was wrong with it? I had to. It was like I couldn't get pee out quick enough

because of the opening of my dick. So what did they do? I don't know. I'm making this up. Oh. Bro, come on. You can't do that. You cannot do that. I was ready to like call your mom and be like,

tell me about your son's car. Oh my god. I never had pee-pee problems as a kid. I mean, I've said this before, obviously, but I used to stretch open my pee hole. Oh, fuck it. You've tried your. I don't want to go there.

I do it all. I used to do it all. You ever take your skin and try to fit the like push your dick in and then cover the whole thing with skin? Close it up like an envelope. And then you put your balls over that. I know what I'm doing. I, yo, I swear to God.

I've done everything. I could do it a dick. I've done it. Except suck it. Yeah. Well, God willing, without you. If I got a rib removed. I've made my dick disappear.

Gone. Like, yo, gone. Go into that. I can like, if I wanted to, I could like, not now, but like when I was younger, I could fucking fold and maneuver and like fucking move shit around. Like Tetris. Like I can make it look like I was just like.

Move shit around. You could renovate your dick. Just like push everything in, cover, you know, just kind of fucking tied up. Not tie, but tape it. If I wanted to. Glue, yeah. I'm saying like I can make it look like I was a Kendall

down there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm saying you pull your ballsack over it. Yeah, not anymore, though. Now it's too much penis. No, it really depends on the weather, though. Yeah. Yo, how tight does your ballsack get in the cold?

Like a butthole. It's crazy. Yo, my balls are sensitive and also opposite sensitive because the second I jump until like a jacuzzi, my balls are like, hello. And they just kind of like fall about. Just like butter in a fryer. Dude, literally, yes.

It's insane. They just melt. They're just like, hello. We are here to stay. I know exactly what you mean. What do you mean? Just spill out all over my pants. I think I like almost like ruined my balls

because I would, my uncle used to have a jacuzzi and pool right next to each other. I would jump from one to the other rapidly. Also, it was just like this. It was like, yeah. It was like my balls were just like, what do we do? Touch and go. You know what I mean?

It's like, you know, when people can like touch stuff really hot really quickly. Yeah. The body doesn't know how to react. My balls were very confused. Yeah, that was a long day for them. It was a confusing day for my balls. Yeah.

How? What the hell are we talking about? How did we get here? I don't know. Should we do ads? No. Oh, by the way, one thing I wanted to talk about was Jeff Bezos going to space.

You did it! Dude, that guy, one thing I want to say, two things actually. One, why are we going to space? Don't do it. You're going to fuck with something and something's going to fuck on you. Bro, we're going to go out there and we'll be like, oh, and then we're going to see some go, hey,

and then it's just going to evaporate us. The fact, there's that saying we're either alone in the universe or we're not, both options are equally terrifying. If we don't know at this point, as advanced as we are, we're fucked, you know what I mean? I'd rather not know the answer. Yeah, people are like, yo, I want to know, is there anybody out there?

I don't need to. Just like, bro, I just want to watch the Yankee game. Ignorance is fucking bliss. Space ignorance is bliss. I don't want to know about space at all. Nothing out there. People are also like, oh, the view of what? Earth?

Why? OK, fucking cares. Who in the fuck cares what Earth looks like? Bro, I don't even like looking at my apartment building. Yeah. You think I give a shit about the whole Earth? It takes me all of 20 seconds to get over a view. Yeah.

I'd be in space looking at Earth and being like, first of all, this doesn't look real. I'd be like, this looks fake. And then I'd go, cool. All right, next. You think I'm just going to sit there and just be in awe? And they're like, oh, look, that's Mars. And it's a fucking.

Yeah, and I'm like, I don't fucking care at all. How do you know that's Mars? How can you care when like. Oh, look at the sun. Don't care about that either. There's people on Earth doing standing 69. You think a view of South America from space is going to change my life?

Bro. When that's happening, I don't give a fuck what it looks like. And also, to go to that length to figure it out, don't care. You know how you get there? Strap yourself in a speeding rocket. Are you fucking insane? Yeah. Dude, I'm cool here.

You guys went to space for a sec. And they were like, oh, I hope it works. I hope this thing doesn't come. You're going to go through to 30 layers of gas that can fucking evaporate you in an instant. It's just like, I don't know. I don't get it. The Earth is cool, but not that cool.

The moon? Don't care. Big ball of dirt. Big ball of dirt, dude. Big ball of dirt. It's a dog park up there. What are you going to find on the moon that we didn't know already existed?

You think they haven't already drilled into the moon? They're drilling. They've been drilling. You know, I can tell you this right now. I'd rather go to a bar than the moon. Like literally any bar. Yeah, I would too. Like going to the moon.

Like you're going to get there and be like, it's dark. It's cold. And there's just dust everywhere. Is it cold? I'd rather have a bug. Is it cold out there? It's got to be. Yeah, it's freezing, dude.

I think it's like hot. No, I'm on the moon. And it smells apparently like rotten eggs. It's like sulfur. Bro, you're, are you, where the fuck, you talk to Buzz? You talk to Buzz Aldrin? I've heard of things that I'm reporting on here. Buzz and Neil.

I, Joey, I used to think, by the way, I used to think Lance Armstrong and Neil Armstrong were the same person. So when Lance Armstrong was winning all those titles, I was like, bro, this guy is unbelievable. The Zoo Beds of the Moon, he's winning the Tour de France. He can do it all. This guy's crush.

He can do it all. Medieval times or the moon? Which one are you going to? What? Bro, one of them, I get chicken. And I get to eat with my hands. You go to space. You got to eat like chicken.

That's powder. Or like water in a pouch. If it ain't Capri Sun, keep your pouch. Fuck your pouch. Bro, you can't cry in space. You can definitely cry at medieval times. Yeah, do it. And know exactly where I'm going.

Make no mistake, I'm trying to cry. I want to cry at medieval times. I would like to fuck with no gravity. I think that would be cool. We could do that on Earth. We figured out ways to do that here. Yeah. Jaw rule did it.

Why can't we? Jaw rule did it. Yeah, and the fire festival documentary? He fucked in space? No, no. Oh, you mean fuck, fuck in zero gravity. I thought you meant like just like hang out, like fuck around. Oh, no, I meant like have sex with a vagina.

There's a thousand percent of porno where it's people fucking in zero gravity. Yeah, I'll probably look that up tonight. That's all I need. That's it, yo. I'm kind of curious as to what cum looks like in the air. In zero gravity air. You ever come underwater?

Come on, you have. I don't think I have. We all have. I don't think I have. You've never like come in water. I don't think. You've talked about this about like jerking off in a bath. I have done that in disgusting.

You basically come in yourself. Not in. Yeah, the water's like tickling the ivories there. Well, it's not inside me. It could be. I'm not opening my asshole and accepting bath water, frankly. I got to look up what cum looks like in space. I need to see what does.

Why do you think that's on Google? It's not on Google, Frankie. Also, what are you typing in? What does cum look like in zero gravity? It's just going to be like floating. What? No, is there a picture? But the first thing is when you ejaculate in space,

does it push you backwards? That's not a bad question. That's a really good question, because cum actually comes out at like 20 miles an hour or something, right? Doesn't it? That's a fucking. That's fast. All right, I got nothing here.

I'm pretty sure that's true. There is everything you want to know about having sex in space. Do I go ahead and read? Sure. OK. There's no captions like this, so that I'm not going to do it. There's no headlines. We don't care about the actual like.

I don't think anyone's ever had sex in space. I think people have said there have been zero people in space that have had sex, because they're all working up there. They're like, oh, we like for all humankind. Yeah, but you don't get some downtime? Apparently they do, but it just said in there, like there is downtime, but no downtime to go down on time to go down.

Time to go down. Yeah, downtime doesn't mean time to go down, yeah. OK. I can't shake the idea of cum in space right now. Yeah, that would be actually dangerous masturbating in space, because make sure you get all of it. Well, where's it going to go? Oh, you mean like it's just floating around?

Yeah, it's going to float about. I kind of need to know if it pushes you backwards now. It comes out of you at a pretty good mile per hour. I imagine that you would probably get some kickback or some recoil. It is really, really difficult to ejaculate in space apparently. The penis gets erect by filling up with blood vessels in your penis, but gravity on Earth

plays a huge part in that, because gravity allows our blood to flow to the lower parts of our bodies. When you're in space, you have far higher blood flow to the more outstretched areas like your head and chest. That makes it difficult to even get a go. You get a limp dick in space. Bro, you can't even fucking space,

and you guys want to go there? What's wrong with you? What is the point? You guys are virgins, dude. If you were going to space, wouldn't you want to have sex when you're there? That's the only reason why I'd go. If there's literally the coolest thing to do, you can't do.

It's like going to Chuck E. Cheese and just eating, doing nothing else. You're not going to play in the ball pit? You stupid bitch. NASA has tested astronauts testosterone levels, and they generally drop when they're in space. It takes your fucking mojo. Space sucks.

Space is sexist against men. Space is for women. Oh my god. This is wild. I don't know what I'm saying. This is wild. Y'all, you know what I would like to do actually? I'd like to take a shit on the moon.

Why? Just leave it there. That would be disgusting. You would hang from it. It would float up, and you'd be attached to it. No, it's got some gravity to the moon. You saw them walking, bouncing? Yeah, you're right.

If you believe in that. I. All right, we have ads, Frankie. That's enough about that. Go ahead. All right, let's get to the friends of the show here. The first one being honey. Guys, if you don't have honey, you're wasting your money. Wow, they should really pay me double for that.

That is G-E-T-Q-U-Y-P dot com slash basement five. So go get that Quip.

Keep your mouth in chip. All right, last, last I'm going to talk about it. About what? Common space. You're still hung up on common space. I have to know. If you ejaculate no gravity after the semen came out of you, it would want to go directly back.

That's how gravity. Wait, it's like, like a, like a. Oomarang? You know, like the kids that would fucking spit and suck it. I fucking hated. What? Oh, the kids that would like hang spit and then suck it back up.

That's how gravity works. Objects pull on other objects. So if you ejaculate it in space, it would be instantly drawn back to you and pool inside your knees or maybe nose or maybe the inside of your belly button. My knees. Like an orifice, like some part of your area,

like body that can like hold liquid. You're telling me if I come in space, it will, it will like come back and possibly go like in my ear or the back of my knee. Fuck that. How about your mouth? Well, I just closed your mouth. They still come on your mouth.

Bro, you can move your head. Yeah. I'm not losing. It fucking follows you. No, bro. I'm not losing. It's like a homing missile. I'm not losing to my own cum.

You might. No. You might. In accordance with Newton's laws, you'll be pushed backwards, but not that much. The average velocity of ejaculation is 45 kilometers per hour. It looks like working on your Kegel exercises can increase this a tiny fraction,

but not much. 45 kilometers an hour. The kinetic and energy of the nut is about 0.4 joules. I love how we're getting into the science of this. Then, oh my God, I haven't heard joules. So hypothetically, a 90 kilogram man nutting a top end load at typical velocity in a frictionless zero gravity environment will be thrown back

at nine centimeters per second. What kind of language is this? What? That's science, baby. I don't think that scientists would say nut. Well, I mean, maybe not ejaculate. Yeah. But like 90 kilograms is how many pounds?

How many pounds? I don't know, dude. That's a 90. 160? Is it? Or I know nothing. Kilograms to? Pounds.

90 is 198 pounds. 190, that's a big man. Bro. So a 200 pound man is getting thrown back like three. What was it? It basically like four inches a second? Wait, before you said that cum was coming out at 40 kilometers an hour, how fucking fast is that?

I typically at 45 kilometers an hour. Wait, kilometers an hour is, that's gotta be slower. Kilometers? That's gotta be slower than miles per hour. Why can't we all just have the same thing? I hate this country for that reason, bro. 27 miles per hour.

Dude, that's fast. Yeah, dude. So like, if you're fucking like you're chop, chop, choppin' and then you- Sham chengen. Sham cheng, shim, shim, shim. Patreon.com, size of a basement yard. And you let go.

If you're 200 pounds, you'll like go back like, what is it, like nine centimeters a second. So that's like, what, like five inches a second? You said nine centimeters a second? Yes, I just converted. 2.54 centimeters or in an inch. Oh. So like, four or something, so like, like this.

That's the most powerful cum in my life. That's crazy. I've also come way, like, when you didn't even come like hard and you're like, yo, that was a thousand miles an hour probably. Really? Yeah, yeah. Realistically, if you stood where you are right now,

where do you think you can hit with your cum? If I'm sitting down? Right, like, stand up, stand up and dick out. Oh, I mean, I'm not gonna like hit the wall. Don't show me your dick right now. I'm just saying. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, I'm not gonna like hit the wall.

I'm not saying that. Where do you think you'll get to? Stop my hand. Wait, you started pretty far. Really? That's it? Bro. If you fucking hold tight and then just give it a punt,

I think you can absolutely hit like over here. No, I think I can. You can hit me. You can hit me. I get cum in your face, yeah. Well, I didn't say face, Jesus Christ. Jesus. Why would you do the face?

I don't know, bro. Crazy. Now we know. Yeah, but I'm not going to space. Fuck that. Jeff, everybody just stay up there while you're at it, you son of a bitch. Pay your workers.

Let them take doms at least. Yeah. Don't they like not take shits? They have to like run across, like fucking like 15 square mile warehouse, just to pee their pants. Yeah, that's a little crazy. I don't know what's going on.

Fuck me. Jeff Bezos, I don't know what's going on. Anyway, also I wanted to talk about, cause this is, I've been going off on Twitter about. Oh boy, Twitter joke. Simone Biles. Before you get to that though, patreon.com slash the basement yard,

you get every single weekly episode a week in advance. You get in on the jokes. Hey, someone commented on this six days ago, but it came out this morning. How did that happen? Guess what? They're patrons. Also, you get exclusive episodes

that nobody else gets the opportunity to say. Yes, I did say epithodes. That's what they're called. So go join the patreon.com account right now, patreon.com slash the basement yard. We're almost at 9,500. We probably want to hit 10,000. If we hit 9,500 craziness,

if we hit 10,000, Joey said he's going to pee his pants again. So go check it out, patreon.com slash the basement yard. All right, Simone Biles, what happened? Oh, I know what happened. I'll let you go off though, because I know you're very passionate about this. So Simone Biles, she bowed out of the Olympics

in the middle of an event because she was dealing with something. At first it came out that it was going to be like an injury or something, but she was dealing with some sort of mental health, something related to her mental health, whether it be stress or whatever. Now there's this thing they're calling the twisties,

which is a gymnastic term that I'm not familiar with because I can't cartwheel. When you, have you ever seen her jumping and doing those twisties in the air? Yo, I swear to God, what she does is not human. Well, with any of these people do, I don't really believe in. Like what they do, I'm like,

I don't really think this is happening. I don't know how like she gets that high up after just doing six flips in a row. And then it's like flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip. Yeah, I don't really, like, none of it makes sense to me. I watch gymnasts and I'm like, I don't, I can't believe this is real. It's kind of like watching like magic.

You're like, I know there's something happening. It's not real. It's gotta be fake to a degree, but I know it's not. Yeah, cause David Blaine would be a gymnast then. Chris Angel. I'm free. Pfft. Mind free.

But yeah. And then the world should its pants because they were upset that she was just like bowing out of this thing and whatever. She scored poorly on the vault, which is when this happened, right? Okay. I was even saying, right?

Because during like the qualifying rounds or whatever the fuck, and mind you, I'm gonna get a lot of this terminology wrong. But right at the same time, just go for it. But so she, I was looking at her and every time she went, she could like stick a landing or do whatever. But she wasn't really doing too well, but she was doing well enough to qualify.

Like out of her team, her and someone else qualified for some shit. Put it like this. Simone Biles not doing well is still like a level at which nobody else will be able to hit. Right. And like she didn't smile the entire time. She didn't look happy.

She looked pretty stressed out and she looked like whatever. So I was like, some of them are mad weird. Some of them are awful about this shit, whatever. Just what happens over the next day, she's on the vault and she scores like very low. Like I think she was like the third lowest score out of whoever went and then she just pulled herself. She's like, I can't do this.

So I'm like not gonna do it. And people were upset because they think that she was scoring low and she was just choking. And then she was like, I need to get out of here. And like made up that she was having some sort of stress or mental health or whatever. And like this just goes back to what I was talking about, how the internet is the worst fucking place

in the fucking world because it's so like the internet to have that opinion. Some don't tweet at me. And like this is like, oh, my phone's not here. Can you pull it up on your phone actually? Did you retweet them or respond? Yes, I responded. I just put a GIF, a GIF or whatever the fuck.

Can we get a universal like? We need someone on that by the way. Tell us like once and for all, what is it? Yeah, if you scroll down, you'll see Kanye West's face. And then that's the tweet. Following 57 people. All right, you're working on it. It's not that far down.

She quit when she didn't get her landing on 100%. She knew she would lose and take focus off her losing because she is a self-reclaim goat when she used mental health as an excuse. We all wish we had her problems. And I'm like, bro. And like I don't wanna like freak out on anyone but that is such a shit opinion to have.

It just sucks because you're basically saying that someone that has the work ethic to get there in the first place is then basically just throwing their hands in the air and saying like, all right, nevermind, which is such a fucking oxymoron. It just makes no sense because people are like, you know, it's the Olympics.

Why wouldn't you just like suck it up and do it? And I'm like, do you think she doesn't know that? Like she knows that more than you know that. She has four gold medals. This isn't her first Olympics. Like, dude, my brother was training for the Olympics. And in order to train for the Olympics, right? This was back in, I don't know when the fuck that was actually

but like it was a while ago. But my brother trained for the Olympics, trained four years in Lake Placid. He was doing skeleton. In order to do that, he had to leave his job that he was at, make no money and just live at the training facility and just train.

That was all they did was train for four years. And he didn't even make it to the Olympics. He was a reserve. So if someone got hurt or someone couldn't go, whatever, then he would go. He trained four years just to get to that point. Some people don't make it. And then they do another four years until the next Olympics

and they try to make it on that team. So this girl has been training for God knows how long. Like she was like recruited when she was young. I was gonna say, if she's 20 years old, she's been training for 15 years. She's 24 now. She won four gold medals when she was 20. She's 24 now.

So now this girl's 20 years old, wins four gold medals. People recognize her of like, this is like the greatest gymnast we've ever seen in our lives. Like this is crazy. And then you have four years to deal with the pressure of that. Now everyone's coming at you

and you get all these endorsements. And of course like, oh, self-proclaimed goat. Dude, you think that's her or is that fucking Pepsi? Being like, just say this, here's your line, here's this, here's the, we're doing like a, you know, greatest of all time campaign. We're gonna get fucking Tom Brady in here. It was like, do you think they're doing this?

Like, these are corporations that are making more money off of this than Simone Biles is. She's not fucking going out there. Not only that, not only that, the idea that like, I don't know where it comes from, but the idea that like athletes like owe it to us to be athletes. Like when fucking athletes-

They made the sacrifice. When they have literally in whatever sport that you watch or enjoy or appreciate, when they have dedicated their lives to either A, be the best at their craft, or B, fucking entertain you to some degree. And then they decide on their terms, like, hey, I can't do this.

They shouldn't have to think of anyone but themselves. They shouldn't have to be like, oh my God, look at what you're saying to the people that watch you. It's like, what I'm saying, first of all, it's easy to say like that she's quitting. That's such a stupid, you know how hard it is for people that deal with mental health to step out and be like, listen, I have issues

that I need to work on myself. That right there is a big fucking problem. Like a big fat, hard problem to deal with, to begin with. So when people sit there and say like, oh my God, they're being irresponsible, they're giving up and stuff like that, that is literally making the situation worse. And you are creating a fucking environment

that is victim blaming in a way. Yeah, it's like, oh, they have stress from all the pressure of the situation. And then they're like, I don't know if I could do this. And then you add more pressure and you tell them like, you're letting the country down, you do it. That's like, I couldn't even give you an example of what that's like.

But someone's telling you like, I don't like this. And then you just like do it right immediately. Like it's like, it's insane behavior. Also, to think that you would know better than her. This is arguably at the moment, the greatest gymnast we've ever seen in our lives, already won four gold medals in the last Olympics at 20 fucking years old or whatever the fuck.

And you're saying that she's taking the easy way out. There is no easy way out if you're an Olympian. Even if you don't medal ever. These people, like I said, my brother left his job, gave up four years of his life just to train for this thing for a shot to compete for a medal. And like, that's a chunk of your life that like you're not seeing people,

you're not going like out to bars with a bunch of different friends. You aren't yourself, you are a product. You are, and you don't even get compensated well, by the way. In other countries, if you win medals, you like get a certain amount of money. Think if you get a gold medal, you get like fucking 35 grand or something.

If you get a gold medal, if you're the best in the fucking world, you know what I mean? Like they're not compensated. You have to be a superstar in order to like receive whatever. And you have to hope that your sport is like popular because who won the gold medal for fucking shooting? Who the fuck, no, who gave this shit?

You know, like that's how this works. Like whatever, but she's in a popular sport when it's four gold medals. Now people are saying that she's taking the easy way out. Guys, you don't even know what it's like to work that hard. How the, would you even know? How would you know? You don't know what it's like.

I love the people that are like, oh, she's giving up on her country. She's giving up on her fucking teammates. Giving up on her country. You think for a single second, her teammates are like, Simone, how, how dare you? How dare you fucking do what you feel is right by you? All of them are there.

And second of all, this is someone that has already had to overcome a lot of stuff. If I'm not gonna sit here and say the words because I know YouTube is not so happy when certain words are used, go and look up what Simone Biles has already had to overcome and then call her a quitter because that is the farthest thing from the fucking truth.

Yeah, it's just like insane, bro. Like, and like that goes for like, like I said, any fucking Olympian, any sort of like, what, like bro, these people are human beings. They're not like, another dude tweeted me something and I'm like, I wanted to go through the screen and just fucking kill this guy. Cause it was like-

That's the internet. It was, it was, he basically said something about the point of you being at the Olympics is for your country to bring it back home to your country. And I want to be like, hey man, no, it's not. It is, but it isn't. Because the country doesn't give a fuck about them.

Cause it's the same thing for like, clearly fucking people who are in the military. It's all a fucking show. Everyone talks about the military. Oh, thank you for your service. Why is there homeless veterans? Why do they come back and they're, they all have PTSD

and everyone kind of just like, no one gets hired. People go, they go homeless. These people should have to pay for anything for the rest of their lives. You make the ultimate sacrifice. You go to war, you fight for this country. You have to kill people for this country. And then you come home and people just let you sit

on the sidewalk and be fucking homeless and step over you. You're created, you're created into this fucking, in lack of better terms, killing machine. And then when you get back, you're looked, you're let go by the people that created you because of the fact that they created you to be that way. So, and then obviously not as crazy as that,

you train your whole life to go to the Olympics, to represent the United States. You win four gold medals and then you are labeled as the greatest gymnast of all time. And then when you get to the point where it feels like there's a lot of pressure on you and there's whatever, and you feel like you're not performing well because that also, not to mention,

this is a very dangerous sport. If you're not performing well and you're not in the right mindset and look up this thing called the twisties that the gymnasts are all talking about now, which is a very real thing. It's like vertigo for gymnasts where you can land on your neck and go paralyze.

If this guy went paralyze because fucking idiots on the internet are like, you have to represent our country, I would lose my mind and go on a killing spree for that. Bro, you ever see that final destination movie? People can die from shit, especially gymnast shit. It happens, it fucking happens. Yeah, it's fucking insane.

And listen, I'm not gonna discuss. Also, wait, one thing I wanna say, Joey's time. The one girl who did it years ago on a broken foot, Carrie Strug, whatever the fuck her name is, people are like, oh, she did it. That's fucking stupid. Why would she do that? Guess what?

She shouldn't have done it. You're literally just supporting the point. She should not have been there, not been there, but she shouldn't have done that either. Yeah, because it's like, bro, and I'm sure there was some, her coach was like in here like, I swear to fucking God, you will not eat tonight.

If you don't fucking do this, handspring. Like, bro, it's so fucking ridiculous. And the last thing I wanna say is ask yourself why you care. You don't. No one gives a shit about, all these people who are saying this don't give a shit about gymnastics. You don't follow gymnastics.

You watch the Olympics and you have this fake sense of patriotism when you're watching this because we're competing against other countries. That's why. And so you're like, oh, you need to win. How can our best player not, you don't even give a fuck.

Yeah. People don't have their identity now is to just be upset and go with the, it's so funny that the people that are sitting there and be like, oh, sheep, sheeple, wake up sheeple, are going along with another form of the fucking wave. They're just riding the wave and just another form. And everyone's identity now,

I know I was recently telling you this. There are identities now of people and personalities that just have to be mad about anything and everything. And it's fucking exhausting. Listen, guess what? All these people that are like, yo, like I would never give up on my fucking, you wouldn't be in the position to fucking give up on anyone

because you're sitting at home, you're a loser. And why is it wrong? Why is it bad for someone to acknowledge that they have issues that they need to, excuse me, address and fucking remove themselves from any situation? Why is that wrong? I'll tell you what, hey, guess what?

Spoiler alert, it's not fucking wrong. It's the right thing to do. If you need to say to yourself like, listen, I need to do what's best for me and remove myself from the situation because it is toxic and it is going to harm me, that's the right thing to do because unfortunately history has shown

that if you do power through and you do come out on the other side and you still have those mental illnesses, you're not going to be treated well at all. And that's the reality of the situation. And I'm not, we're not even addressing the elephant in the room with this because there happens to be something about Simone Biles

that makes people treat her a little bit different. I don't know what you're referring to. Really? Same reason why people don't like LeBron James. Oh. Yeah. I'm not even bringing that up. I'm not even going to sit here and say that that's part of the conversation.

All I'm saying here is that there is this manufactured anger and resentment toward people that need to remove themselves and work on themselves when they're in a position, when they're supposed to be. And like there are people that are like, oh, she quit on her team. I guarantee her team is like, do what you need to fucking do.

Yeah, obviously. Not only that, but it was a team event and she pulled herself from the event because she felt like she couldn't do a good job. And then they won silver. Like they meddled guys. Is it gold or bust in this country? What the fuck are we talking about here?

That's it. Number one, like guys, if you ain't first, you're last, that's the US, babe. It's so, it's so crazy, man. People don't care. People do not give a shit. It's so fucking fake. It bothers me beyond belief.

And also Tim Dillon put out a good tweet that I liked because it was like, she shouldn't be chastised for bowing out, but we don't have to throw a party because she did this either, right? Which I agree with. I get the notion of people being like, she's so brave to, honestly,

and you guys know how I am when I like, I'm all for all this shit, but it's getting pretty fucking annoying and repetitive that every time someone does anything, it's like you're brave. Like the word brave is getting fucking thrown around like fucking crazy now. And it's like, it's getting annoying.

Like if you were dealing with something, they're athletes, bro, they're people. If fucking the Super Bowl fucking Tom Brady was like, I'm not playing because I'm dealing with shit. I don't think that I deserve an answer. I'm a fan, like I'm definitely not a fucking fan of the team, but if you're a fan of the bucks, then you'd be like, oh, why?

Like why? Like bro, you don't need an answer. And like, I think it's weird that people think they deserve one. For doing what? You watch from the couch, dog. You support. Awesome.

Way to go. And so even a little different there was like, oh, maybe you buy tickets, you do this, how are you supporting gymnastics? That's what it is. The idea of subtlety is out the fucking window. You're either so fucking happy that it happened or you are so angry that it happened.

You are either so with it and you wanna celebrate that people did it or you need to fucking, listen, I get that there have been certain ways and people or actions have been treated through history. That doesn't mean that you need to then blow it up to the proportion to then bring it to a sense of normalcy. If you treat something as if like, hey, good for her, we wish her the best,

do what you need to do. We'll see you down the road. Great. That's how it should be. If you sit there and it's like, this is the most important thing that has happened in the history of our sport. Like, don't chill the fuck out.

Why can't people just not weaponize any in every opinion that they have now? Why does everything need to be, it is my end of the spectrum and I'm gonna use it to destroy your argument and not just be like, yo, I have my opinion, you have your opinion, let them ride, let them fucking chill and coast in the middle.

When everyone now, everyone has a big old dick and wants to show their fucking dick to everybody. Don't. It's so, it's like, we, I feel like it, like how can it go on like this? And this is why like, this goes back to like the conversation we had about like why I hate social media so much now.

It's like everyone, and honestly, I think it's mostly just Instagram, like work that I despise. Like I don't really, I try not to use it anymore. Like I put an hour time limit that I can use. Like, you know, like apps have limits. I put an hour on it and I don't go about it. Cause like, I feel like everyone on there

is like fake caring about a thousand things every single day. Like it used to be fun. It's not fun anymore and I'm not using it. It's not in fucking activism app. I'm, I'm like, I definitely think that it's, there should be activists and people should be aware of certain things and I keep myself informed

about everything. But bro, every day, sometimes I just want to like be entertained or see something funny or whatever. Like I don't want to see fucking videos of dogs being shot and killed in fucking China or something every three days. So it's like, I'm sorry. You don't care about this?

You're part of the problem. Yeah. And it's like, bro, yeah, I do. Just not fucking today. Like because you know what I'm saying? Like I got to care about every fucking problem in the world. I'll go insane. Like I just want, like it's sometimes you just want

like some fun shit, whatever. Like it's like, I don't know, man. And like it just becomes everyone's personality is to do that. It's just really fucking annoying. And the bro, the Simone Biles thing is just like, it's, here's an appropriate reaction. This is the reaction I had.

I hope she's all right. That's it. That was almost to a T by exactly. I was like, oh wow, okay. That's it. It's like, damn, she must be going through some shit. If you're going to sit there. And I know like it's not just like, yes.

Like the people that are screaming on Twitter are part of the problem as well. Hey, guess who else is part of the problem? ESPN is part of the problem. Fucking NBC, CNN, the Daily News, you know, fucking Fox News, you know, all of them are part of the problem too. So don't just sit there and be like,

I'm just attacking you. I am attacking you because you're an idiot too. You're not. We love you. Patreon.com. But also like it's fucking all these bigger probably sure, Disney owned CNN, not CNN, Disney owns fucking ESPN.

They're part of the problem. Like it's, it's, it's just shut up. Is everyone just shut up? How many times do we have to say this? You don't need to talk about everything and anything that happens at every single point in time. Sometimes you can just say, I'm not involved.

I don't know. I don't need to get involved. Now, if you need, if you want to hold conversations about it, maybe educate yourself a little bit, maybe look, you know, for actual information on these, instead of just sitting there and getting all your news sources from one fucking place, just fucking trash.

Dude, if you like, this is very simple for me. Cause like I said, my reaction when I heard that was happening, I was like, what the fuck? Like it must be something like crazy for her to do that. This is a person who has trained their entire life. They know hard work. They've won gold medals. They know what it takes.

They're the greatest of all time. For them to back out must be pretty fucking serious. I didn't think she was lying. I don't think that you're that type of person. I don't think you take the easy way out when you train your whole life doing gymnastics. I don't think you're the person that takes it, takes the easy way out when you win gold medals,

when you put the team on your back, when you, when you are, when you're 20 fucking four. Also, no one even thought about this. She is 24 years old and now she was dealing with all the pressure of being the greatest of all time, being labeled as that, being marketed as that by all these companies that are making tons of money off of her.

And then she gets the, then the Olympics comes, there's the pandemic, so it doesn't happen. So we're all in isolation, with depression and anxiety goes soaring through the air for everyone in the world, including this girl, I'm sure. And you have to train for another year. Then the Olympics comes around and then you go and then you can't be around any of your friends and family.

You're just by yourself. You don't think that sounds like a high stress situation. You don't think that sounds like a nightmare. You don't think that sounds a little different than any other fucking Olympics ever. Like, can we have some sort of fucking empathy? You think everything's fucking, and listen, if you're a person who is still going on about this

and you're like upset that she won't compete or whatever, you're a fucking nerd, you're a bitch, dude. Like, get a life, get a life. You know why people don't really care as much as you? Because they have shit going on. When you have nothing going on and you get home and you sit on the couch and you try to make an impact on the world by having a contrarian opinion,

you're a miserable fucking asshole. Get a life, just get a life. It's sad, it's sad to see. You go on Twitter right now, you find another person firing off new tweets about how Simone Biles is a coward and does it, they're miserable. They're miserable. They're gonna be dead at 55

because they're gonna drive themselves nuts. They got nothing going on, get a life. I'm telling you. There is something so ironic about you having this passionate of an argument and wearing that shirt. My day. We got old Larry. Speaking of goats.

Very true. How do you think Larry, ah, okay. I don't think he even knows the Olympics is going on. No, he definitely does. This is a make America a great again. I know exactly what it is. Yeah, it was a good episode. A hundred, maybe even 98 degrees in here right now.

I'm dying in here. You're hurting. Yeah, we gotta get the fuck out of here. We gotta go. But yeah, at the end of the day, do whatever the fuck you want, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I don't care for you. I do, it's weird.
