Starting point is 00:06:37 I just got into a fight with a door dash driver. Oh. And I said, what? First of all, we had a couple people over for my wife's birthday. I had a couple drinks. So what? Sue me, big sue me.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Big sue me. I had a couple drinks, including margaritas. I love the S at the end of that. Margaritas, baby, there was a couple. Were they flavored or was it all classical? Just regular, but we did have, like I was made a white Wine margarita never had that before. What is that?
Starting point is 00:07:07 You just add a little bit of white wine on top of a margarita a little floater a little baby And I it was very good nice, but Yeah, I forgot I forgot I got into a not a physical altercation with a Turkish door dash driver I want to know he was Turkish. Um Well racism. No, no. He racist. No, no. I did not racist. How did you know he was Turkish? I didn't I didn't racist. I would never know who was Turkish. It said in the messages that was you know we were going back and forth. Oh translating to Turkish. It said translating from Turkish. Got it, got it, got it. So we had stayed up a little late. We had a lot of drinks. Late night Turkish fight.
Starting point is 00:07:43 You know what I had for the first time in my life? A Turkish fight? Um, well, yes, also. Yeah. Was that? Yeah. That's interesting because you're writing in English and he's reading a Turkish argument. Yeah, so I think, I think that's the thing is like he was like getting like it was probably coming on.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Something tells me I don't speak, I don't know what the language of Turkey is. If it's just Turkish, okay. I believe it is. I don't know. So I don't want to offend anyone. Yeah Except this one man. Yeah, I don't know if he was getting it in like an aggressive manner But also I was kind of writing in a little aggressive what happened? All right So you have to understand something first of all, did you see the videos of like we haven't started yet?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Tangent before we start I'm a great storyteller Did you see the videos of like the jersey shore on memorial day weekend? No They like they had to close down Some of the boardwalks and declare states of emergency for townships because they were just like insane It was a lot of people a lot of and apparently it was like all unruly teenagers Cool, which i'm gonna i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say something I'm more afraid of teenagers than I am any other age No, I'm more afraid of like
Starting point is 00:08:57 23 or 22 year olds no because teenage 23 you can reason with a 23 year old or a 22 year old no you can't you should Be like bro would fucking Vinny chase do this and then they say all right all right Teenagers what am I gonna say to them? Yeah, you know like dude skibbity toilet Riz Sigma, and you know you can't you don't know what you're saying You can't reason with exactly but craziness down to shore so 1230 what I had for the first time I'd never had them before 1230 at night. Yeah You door dashed at 1 a.m. Well listen I
Starting point is 00:09:29 Had door dash at 1130, but my food wasn't picked up and it was 1230. Would you order? well Can we is it the bell? Did you get some of the bell Taco Bell? It was Taco Bell was it actually? Did you get some of the bell, Taco Bell? It was Taco Bell. Was it actually? Wait, I don't think you told me that. I didn't tell him any of this. I mean, it's 12.30.
Starting point is 00:09:49 It's 12.30, who the hell is ordering anything other than Taco Bell at 11.30 slash 12? But I had a Surfside for the first time, free plug, I guess, pretty good. I had a tequila soda, a nooner, a high noon. Nice. That was pretty good. I had a tequila soda, a nooner, a high noon. Nice. That was pretty good. Ah.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I also had a lot of beer and a lot of other stuff. Margaritas. Wine, margaritas, shots. So you were just checking off as much alcohol as you could. I don't often get to drink. So when I do, I go for it. You know what I'm saying? Sent into space.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yeah. So I ordered an abundance of Taco Bell now Let me set the mood here. Have you ever ordered for people? Like be like, you know what? What do you want? I'll get it Or four people you mean for several people I should say. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a bit of a pressure now It's on you if anything's wrong with the order. It's your fault not the people that got over order. So I'm just like, all right, just tell me and i'm like, I got It was a you know, an expensive taco bell order sure It's 12 o'clock Order still not even picked up
Starting point is 00:11:00 Someone cancels on me. Oh bitch, yeah, and then I get the new driver and I message him like What's going on? Oh, so you came at this Turkish man. Well, I Came at is a bit of a stretch. What's going on is
Starting point is 00:11:18 I message him like what's going on with the order? And he messages back. Granted it's in broken English, but I'm paraphrasing here like Oh, there's a line at Taco Bell down the road. And I'm like, what the hell? What, what? I mean, you're thinking about it. Oh, so I guess this is all the unruly teenagers.
Starting point is 00:11:33 All of me and all the unruly teens. You guys are all trying to eat the same thing. So I'm like, park your car, get out and go get my order in the store. All right, I'm on the Turkish guy side. But hold on, but hold on. I didn't say it like that. I said it like, oh, why don't you just try going in the store. All right, I'm on the Turkish guy's side. Hold on, but hold on. I didn't say it like that. I said it like, oh, why don't you just try going
Starting point is 00:11:48 in the store, but I was also drunk, so I lost the text conversation, so I might have said it in an aggressive way. Right, yeah. Did you throw a fucking in there? I didn't, no fuckings. And he's just like, they closed the store, you have to go through drive-thru to pick up the order.
Starting point is 00:12:04 So at this point, I'm fucking, I got people relying on me here. They're hungry, I'm hungry, they're not drunk, I am. Yeah and I'm like so time is moving clearly slower. Time is of the essence babe. Yeah. So I'm just like listen man can you skip the line or something? You said that? I'm priority here. You're trying to think. Do you know who I am? Right, yeah.

Little pee pee. Little pee pee, you don't know if it's pee pee or cum cum. You do hair on the balls? Depends how flashy I'm feeling.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah. And it depends on the time. Oh, veins? Oh, a vein is a must. I don't really do veins. You're not drawing a dick, if you draw a dick with time, you can do all the luxuries. I don't really draw veins.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Most dicks that you're drawing are drawn under duress. I would say most of the under duress. I would say most of the time I'm drawing balls Dick out and then I put a little bit of piss. I I try to I try to throw in a like, you know, do you do the same dick as me? I uh, no, honestly, I think I go ball, ball, up. Oh, you go like this. Yes, binocular cock. Bacocular. Bacocular.
Starting point is 00:20:11 And then you do cross, and then you put a P-hole, obviously. I don't do a cross. I try, again, it depends. If I have the luxury of taking my time drawing this dick, I'm gonna make it look like a penis head, you know? Like a spade. I always put a P-hole, obviously. Well, yeah, P-hole's a must. Where do know like it's like a like a I always put a pee hole obviously Well, yeah, pee holes a must where do you put it?

No, no, no, I put it at the top I just put it like in the top the top like them like the middle of the you know I'm not like you curve it or you just do not rely straight line pee hole. I gotta get better with your dicks, brother I mean, I mean this is what I've just been doing. Did we, in high school we had a, like a serial dick drawer. It's funny because like they made that show, American Vandal. About it. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Go watch it. But like, God, I hate that. I got bad allergies, dude. Yeah. We had a serial dick drawer in high school that like, it was like a thing that like, the teachers would talk with every class about drawing cocks on stuff
Starting point is 00:21:12 and like no one ever figured out who it was. Like it'd be on the board when you got in. It would like, it'd be on boards, it'd be on like tests. Tests? They would like break into teachers rooms where they'd like- Break into like drug dicks as well.icks well because it was an old public school So it was like remember those like old like fucking copper door handles that were shaped like eggs
Starting point is 00:21:32 Yeah, you know it was those and they'd break in take the tests from their desk and just draw dicks on every single one There's something I want to say about those doors, but I'm gonna do some ads first the first one being hello fit bod Okay, the summers here the hot weather's here. My building opened its pool and I've been out there and I need to have a FitBot. So what better way to do it than with the company named after the thing that I'm trying to get, a FitBot. FitBot is great.
Starting point is 00:21:57 It creates a personalized workout routine based on your goals, fitness level, and available equipment, which is huge, because a lot of people don't have access to a gym. They definitely can't pay for personal training, which is super expensive. I don't know who can afford that. And also your goals.
Starting point is 00:22:16 So you can't just like go out and just do whatever, pick things up, put them down. If you have certain goals that you wanna do, you wanna lean out, you wanna put on a mask, you wanna lose weight, whatever it is, there's different workout routines that are the most optimal for those goals. So I think that it's great because of that. The workouts adapt to your growth also, so each workout is challenging
Starting point is 00:22:35 enough like based on the last workout you did. So everything is you know built and you're doing certain workouts for a specific reason. It also tracks your muscle recovery, you learn new movements along the way. There's over a thousand demonstration videos so it's also educational for people who are new to fitness or even if you are not new to fitness you could always be learning new you know things I've been working out since I was like 13 years old and I still am learning new movements and stuff new things pop up all the time I I mean, I don't know. It's educational.
Starting point is 00:23:05 They have a thousand demonstration videos. So if you want to get into fitness, this is an easy way to do it. Also in the comfort of your own home. So you don't have to worry about, you know, going to a gym, feeling intimidated or anything like that. You can do it in the comfort of your own home. And it's more affordable than personal training.

Well, it's like Johnny's Pizza. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, it's like, oh, the local Tony's Produce or something like that. Yeah, it's like a back window that you're looking at at the start?

Starting point is 00:37:25 Bro, Disney, Walt Disney. That was a Disney production? Yes. I thought it was like some rich school in Calabasas did a school play. Bro, no, they had Timon and Pumbaa. Timon and Pumbaa were there. Two Timons. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Those are fake characters. No, no, no, they had Nathan Lane and Billy Eichner. Two Timons. That's four. two Tommons! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Be serious. Kim Kardashian's daughter.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Right? Right? She played Simba next to Nathan Lane at a Disney production. And Jeremy Irons going and- Where was this? At the- So Disney's new thing is they do like live, they'll invite the cast from the movies. They did it with Encanto. Wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Hold on. I'm literally seeing videos of people being like, Oh, it's a school play. I'm literally seeing videos of people being like, there are so many children that are so like much more qualified to be in this position and blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, who fucking cares? Like clearly it's nepotism
Starting point is 00:38:25 That she's dog School play like a big whoop you're not fucking simple It's cool play we're not gonna be the Michael Bay video brought the the singing cast from the 1994 animated level the line that is fucking hilarious and she did I just can't wait to be king No, I don't get the outrage Why is here's the thing? Because someone asked and guess what Joey everyone's saying like oh the first of all this woman Kim Kardashian people are forgetting also Kanye West daughter no one's talking about him anymore Joey does all the time often and in very good high esteem
Starting point is 00:39:02 Joey does all the time often and in very good high esteem But no one's talking about the fact that like Disney were the one whoever set this up through Disney were the one that probably asked her and like why would why would they ask her? Because she's Kim Kardashian What they asked Kim what to have her do you want your daughter? I imagine no way I assume well you think Kim went in and she was like Hey, Frank mister and mrs. Disney, but like why mr. Iger 100% I think that happened Why would they ask Kim about her daughter because what the fuck is her daughter's not in plays? I don't know the kid probably loves this fucking singing and dancing to the Lion King I don't know the kid probably loves this fucking singing and dancing to the Lion King
Starting point is 00:39:54 Here's the thing I am trained you you think you think you do you do you think you think is this something they do usually Though like they've done the show before and they just put like a kid there have fun I the only one that I've seen previously I was in a I was in a Disney show once When I went to Disney World they put me in the oh, that's right. You were drunk. I was I was in a Disney show once when I went to Disney World. They put me in the light. Oh, that's right. You were drunk. I was the elephant. Definitely ain't the elephant, Joey. I'll tell you that for a fact. Watch it, buddy.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Watch it. You're a fucking. Watch your tone and face. You're at best a baboon. Those are sick. I love baboons. Okay, all right. But yeah, I was the elephant in the show.
Starting point is 00:40:24 It was, they did it with Encanto They had most of the cast there except for I think the only one that wasn't there was like John Leguizamo doing You know the part of huge Bruno. Yeah, Bruno, Madrid Why are you looking at me like that you're doing an accent I'm not I'm do I'm speaking how the movie is spoken like that. You're doing an accent. I'm not. I'm speaking how the movie is spoken. But I didn't know that it was like that. Here's my, I'm going to be on my- Bro, they didn't select a random daughter. Exactly. Disney were just like, yo, this would be a great way to get publicity on like more. I mean, it's Disney. It's the biggest fucking show ever. It's Disney. Nathan Lane's there.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Nathan Lane was there and he killed it. Jeremy Irons? Hey, who's Jeremy Irons again? Scar. The actual one? I know that your powers of retentance. Who's Nathan Lane? Timon. Timon. Pumba's some old bastard. He's like, it's the legit original cast. Yes. I mean, why couldn't they get the original Simba? Because he's fucking 35 now, Joey. Oh, because he doesn't sound like a child. Because he doesn't sound like a child anymore, because he'd be like, oh, I wanna be the main of band, like how king was before, was it Blake Shelton? I don't know. I don't know. He might be, he might be. Yeah. But I just, I can't stand that. stand I didn't say they put her in there It is granted it is and like clearly they knew that like oh, she's not Great, but she's a child. Yeah, she was having the time of her life, bro
Starting point is 00:41:55 I get it fucking enjoy it and also sorry soapbox one minute. Do you mind? I was gonna say make her a tree though It's Simba my guy also like you could make her be like the speaking role of like a Zazu or something. Well Zazu was a British man Fair I don't think Rowan Atkinson was there. Well, whatever be Nala then but like People are saying like okay, how dare them nepotism bro. This is the most real shit that Kim Kardashian has done, in my opinion. What do you mean? Bro, if someone came to you- if fucking Bob Iger came to you- But that's not what happened. For the sake of the argument, if Bob Iger came-
Starting point is 00:42:35 Alright, alright, if fucking- I'll put it in terms- I'll put it in terms that you'll understand, big beefcake. If fucking John- If John Rolex came to you Louis Hamilton, whatever you fucking jock. I'll take it. And he was just like listen up Yeah, I want Your kid to be my cream mate. Yeah, of course Exactly. Yes, but your kid has no skill whatsoever. Frank, that's not the issue. They're not asking for her. There's no reason to ask for that girl. How do you know?
Starting point is 00:43:07 How do you know? Because it doesn't make sense. Why not? Doesn't it make much more sense for Kim Kardashian to be like, it would be nice because I know they're casting children for this role if you could put my kid in that. Yes, and I'm sure they were just like-
Starting point is 00:43:19 There was some probably some of this. I'm sure there's some of that. Geez. I'm sure there's a little bit of that. Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of that. A lot of bit of it. But I'm sure there's some of that. I'm sure there's a little bit of that Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot a lot a bit of it, but I'm sure like they had to say yes I know so who's to blame here Disney the mother who's trying to make an experience for her child is memorable
Starting point is 00:43:36 I agree. It's not Kim Kardashian Kim's fault bro if fucking Kevin Feige comes to me tomorrow and my Untrained children that have no acting experience He goes we want them to be the next spider-man. I'll say yes Yeah, I mean maybe that's a little different because Hollywood is a monster but you get what I'm you get what I'm saying Yes, I do. So like chill. It's not Kim's fault because any parent would be like, yes, of course I want my kid to be at the front of the line But like Disney is kind of crazy being like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:06 And all these fucking keyboard warriors that sit there and spout how toxic social media is. And then this fucking child gets this opportunity and then goes on stage, has the time of her life, and now you're like, this is not, you're not qualified. My kid should be there, ba ba ba. Yeah, you're the fucking problem Well, I think that Disney put like who's gonna attack me here What I love the Swifties. I love Beyonce
Starting point is 00:44:33 This is neutral ground. I'm attacking incels, Joey What are you talking stick up for him go ahead like you always In cells where did they come from? You tell me, where are they hiding? No, you idiot. I think that people are upset with the fact that Disney was like, yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna obviously, Kim is, you can't blame a parent for being like, I want my kid to be the star of the show. Every parent is going to do that. All the dance moms, all the whatever, they're going to do that. Disney being like, yeah, sure, she's not the best, but we're going gonna put her out there. That's on them.
Starting point is 00:45:05 It's not Kim's fault. It's on them. Yeah, 100%. And that's why all these people, bro this woman, unless there's a blackmail situation going on. You think she has something on like the cast of Aladdin? Listen, all the PDD stuff that comes out,
Starting point is 00:45:17 I don't know who's got blackmail on what. You never know. Oh man, you know, I was just about to be really excited for like if they do more like live renditions and stuff. But you're not gonna do it yet. You're not gonna get excited yet because we do have more ads. Yeah, and that is where I hope someone got to that. It's that Frank's I need a fix. Yeah, he's Great maybe you have crabs. No Yeah, I don't know no,, I know, I don't.

Starting point is 00:48:14 What was I? We were talking about Simba. We were going crazy with that. Oh, I was saying, I was like, you know, I was getting, after I saw they did Encanto and they did Lion King, I was like, oh, it's gonna be so good. Because my favorite Disney animated movie of the time
Starting point is 00:48:27 is Aladdin. Oh, it's gonna be so good when they do Aladdin. They ain't doing Aladdin, dude. Why not? Because it is all white people singing, pretending to be people of Middle Eastern descent, except for Robin Williams, who is not here. Super dead.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Super gone. So, and they're also not gonna do like Mulan. When you look back, when you look back, nope. Why not? Because all of the male singing in Mulan was done by Donny Osmond. He did multiple? He did the song of like,'ll make a man out of you
Starting point is 00:49:05 You want to hear something crazy? What a fire song by the way, I've never seen Mulan That seems racially charged. It's not I haven't I haven't seen it. That seems kind of racist. No, why not? I don't know. I just never I just I don't ever cared Maybe I did see it, but I don't remember it you probably honestly you probably have seen it and you don't know. I just never, I just, I don't know. Never cared. Maybe I did see it, but I don't remember it. You pro honestly, you probably have seen it and you don't remember it. And it's, it's crazy because I feel like I would be super into that because I was definitely into swords back then.
Starting point is 00:49:34 You are. Like I loved swords when I was younger. You do like swords. You did like swords often. What's cooler than sword? Like, you know what's weird? Fencing? Whack.

I want a sword like you know what's weird fencing whack so stupid but like sword I want a sword like you honestly I'll tell you what's cooler than swords axes no swords are way cooler than axe who was cooler bow and arrows are cooler than both well we know I was just I just gonna put it in terms that you would understand. Who was cooler, Aragorn or Gimli? Aragorn. Get the fuck outta here. Are you stupid? And way hotter.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I didn't, sexual appeal has nothing to do with it. I'm talking simply off of, bro, you saw Aragorn? Yeah, cool, but a fucking. No. What were you gonna say? What were you gonna say? okay what were you gonna say? little guy oh yeah
Starting point is 00:50:28 little person well he's a dwarf dwarf in the movie so he's a he's a I think dwarf is cool cool still doesn't make sense it doesn't but
Starting point is 00:50:35 you got this dwarf running around double axe I said that with a little bit it seems like I threw that around yeah like it was a slur yeah uh

You forget that's right He had the fucking you know Joey was such he's not very good at he was you know Joey was such a he's not very good at he was he was such a whore for Legolas I really was like and it wasn't even the Orlando Bloom of it all it was just just like a sick character it's just so cool to be like from so far away
Starting point is 00:51:16 bro those games Joey so if you guys don't know what we're talking about there were the Lord of the Rings movie tie-in games. The first one was okay. The second one was a fucking banger. The third one was also good, but not as good as the first. Bro, Joey, it was like you had to level up the characters. Can I download the second one on my Xbox right now and play it?
Starting point is 00:51:39 No. I'm going home and trying. I'll tell you why, no. Just let me have hope. That wasn't why I guess. No, I don't think you can because they're like licensed. There's like weird things with like licensing or like movies and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I hate money stuff. Me too. You know what you can download though. What? Fusion Frenzy. Okay. That ain't fucking Lord of the Rings 2. You're right.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I'll get you the Lord of the Rings. You know what I don't understand? You're gonna tell me. So like forget about Lord of the Rings even though it happens in that but like any of those movies where it's like there's a castle and people are on the ground and they're running towards the castle. You got 400 dudes shooting arrows into the sky and they're just landing in the crowd and killing all these people.
Starting point is 00:52:24 How is that not enough? You know know what I mean well how do they still get there there's so many arrows well are we are we talking to the Lord of the Rings they got shields they got a lot of people and that you only have so many arrows like you look at like the orcs in Lord of the Rings there was you know, there's a lot of them bad boys go watch that fucking in real life When's the last time you watched that movie? Which one the second one two towers? Uh, I tried to go through the trilogy watch the first one and went I hate this bro All right, just watch the first movie sucks. Just watch the second one. It is so fucking good. It doesn't suck It's very good. The second one's whack. please please please nothing happens in the first one literally nothing

The tentacle monster. Bro, the first one's whack as shit.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Bro, you're crazy, man. It's whack. Also like Elijah Wood, very, he's very dramatic. For some reason. He's doing his job. He's about to cry immediately in that movie. He's always on the verge of tears.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Because you have to understand power dynamics. The fact that the ring that holds all this power has been giving to a little. He's stronger, bro. You have the ring in your hand, bro. Yeah, but he has the ring in his hand, but he's not allowed to use it. Remember that's why when he puts it on, he hears.
Starting point is 00:54:04 I know. It's just a sacrifice. It's just a sacrifice. in your hand bro but he has the ring in his hand but he's not allowed to use it remember that's why he when he puts it on he hears it I know! such a sacrifice which is like the snake from Harry Potter yes now that's a trill not a trilogy but that's a fucking Harry Potter is better than more the movies the books are also good the person who wrote them not gonna get into that oh JR J JR you imagine if Jim Ross wrote no who am I thinking of who wrote a game of thrones Can I get into that?

Authors love the fucking letters. Bing, Bing, and then like C.S. Lewis. R.L. Stein, George R.R. Martin, J.K. Rowling. What is that? Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Are those like... It's like a... I don't know. Aliases? Be a fucking... be a man. Be Shel Silverstein, you know? Be Stephen King who was just slapping his name on everything and doing coke. He was.

Yeah, so I don't know what happens in that book but I remember it made me afraid to go in my cousin's basement and I was like I'm not. It was the one where, spoiler for a 30 year old book and show

And I remember the scene, she goes like this. And then she's like trying to pull it off. It's like her skin is now green. And I was like, I'm never putting on a mask Yeah, it's so good never say cheese or die. That's the act. I think the acting debut of Ryan Gosling. He's in that

Starting point is 00:59:26 trying to impress women because what we were told as boys back then was just like, what impresses women? Being hard, being macho, being strong, being tough I remember saying to women that like I'm more comfortable in the dark than I am the light HAHAHA What are you, Batman? I'm more comfortable in the dark like he's a bad. Yeah And I use and I use like the lake house as like you say like how much we played manhunt and
Starting point is 01:00:16 stuff like that because like legitimately there were parts of the lake house that were so dark that you can just stand in the dark and no one could see You and that's what I would do. So I had said, I'm more comfortable in the dark is such an insane way to think of like, this'll get them. They're gonna think I'm so sick. And guess what? Guess what? Didn't work? Not at all.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Not one bit, babe. Not at all. Not a single time. And guess what? I was wrong Who Young the stupid shit you think are gonna impress girls. Well who are very fast Yeah, sweet, dude. Watch me throw myself into this bush and come out with no scratches love doing that

Starting point is 01:02:17 He would go home and spit up blood. Yeah. I'm shocked I had children of the amount of times I've been hit in the nuts. I'm more comfortable in the dark. I love when those little things pop up, you know, because I forgot who I was talking to the other day, but I was talking about something from back in the day
Starting point is 01:02:33 and I'm like, Frankie will definitely remember stories around this, because he has like such a spotty, specific memory from back then. I'm like, he's probably so good.
