Not hard, not hard.
You said hard. No, I don Not Harb. You said Harb.

I don't know how to make a paper airplane.
Well, I guess I'm gonna try one better than yours now
just to prove a point.
Oh wow, cool.
I saw it.
Origami.
Yo, by the way, origami, very cool.
Dude, very cool skill.
Not a real, it's like people will sit there
and they'll be like,
here, I'm gonna make a fucking whole monkey out of paper and it's like
that's not real brother. No it's cool. It is cool. Like the flamingo that like moves you move its mouth
and shit or something. Move its mouth? What kind of origami have you seen? I don't know but I could tell you that this is not looking
great here. It doesn't. It just looks like a fucking... That sucks, yeah. Throw it, throw it.
What do you do if it fucking goes far?
Well, I know aerodynamics, so...
Oh, I don't know that. I don't know why I said that.
And straight down. Good.
Okay.
Yeah, good.
Perfect.
Alright, what if I make a quick adjustment?
Frankie, we've spent too much time. It's not plate time.
And backwards.
It won't refuse to leave.
Technically a boomerang?
We don't know.
I made a paper boomerang, a poomerang.
Okay, and so I do have a question for you.
Yeah.
Because you did text me over the weekend
and out of nowhere, you were just like,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
I'm the unverified on all forms of social media co-host
of the basement yard.
Right, so you want your.
That has been denied verification several times.
Right.
Just wanna point that out there, meta.
I know you're watching zuck
He's your boy still right never met him. So
I'm like just sure and he's like I will not do that fire
So I respond there's a Turkish moral code so I respond
If I don't get my food soon, I'm definitely on his side you said this
I don't get my food soon. I'm definitely on his side
You said this?
I said if I don't get my food soon, I'm gonna pass out. I
Didn't say like I'm gonna fucking I'm not I'm not like I'm not one of those people that's like rude to like
People you know like customer service people. I don't like that, but I just said I set the scene
If I don't get my food soon, I'm gonna pass out. A few minutes go by, it's 12.30 at this point in time.
An hour since I placed the order.
Taco Bell, Memorial Day weekend.
I guess they got a bit of a pass.
He responds back,
I don't give.
And then cancels my order.
Fucking crazy!
I little turkey still like! I don't give and then cancels my order. Fucking crazy bro.
I little Turkish delight.
Damn.
This guy just fucking, he ruined my night.
Oh, so you never got it?
Never got the food.
Fire.
Never a fucking.
That'll show you.
It was a couple bucks of Taco Bell
that then they were like searching for a new driver.
Do you fund? Do you get funded?
I got refunded.
Okay.
I got refunded.
But what the fuck, dude?
Yeah.
So there's $200 worth of Taco Bell just sitting in Taco Bell.
Basically.
Because it said the order was already prepared.
Right.
And it was just waiting for pickup.
So then he canceled and then the new like ETA was like well into 1 a.m.
I don't give. I don't give I don't give
Bang he hit the fucking bang block on me fire
Dude imagine he showed up after that. Well, that's the thing. I told Becca the next morning. She's like he has our address
I was like, I'm sure it doesn't work like that. Yeah, you know like oh, I'm sure it works like that
Well, like after he can't see my address after he cancels the order. Oh
Maybe he screenshot it don't sleep damn way. I don't even think it's fine. Yeah, what the hell you don't give
Well, what if you gave you would if you gave he would have came?
Yeah, you know but and also you know, you know, he doesn't give if he did give he would have been there
I got sonned by a fucking Turkish door dash driver. Yeah. Well, you know, I just wanted my Taco Bell.
Well, crushed you.
And I still didn't get it and I'm still craving it.
There's a lesson baked into this story folks.
There isn't one.
There isn't a lesson.
Don't be rude.
That's the.
You know what?
Don't be hammered at midnight impatient,
I think is the actual one.
Don't be hungry.
What's even funnier is we had a ton of food in the house.
But you were like, I need that gordita.
I committed to a cheesy gordita crunch.
No baja sauce, double meat.
What does gordita mean?
Isn't gordo big and ida like small?
Cheesy gordita crunch.
That means a cheesy fat fucking crunch.
But isn't gordo like gordo?
Isn't that like big?
I mean, it's fat, brother.
Yeah, and then ida, isn't that small? It's like it's fat brother. Yeah and then Ida, isn't that small?
It's like my little fat girl.
That's what it means, gordita.
That's what it is.
My little fat girl.
Like I remember when Maeve was born,
she was like a round plump little baby.
You called her gordita?
Not me, my dad would be like,
I am most gordita.
Okay, your dad doesn't sound like that.
That's what his baby talk sounds like.
Really? Oh, I didn't even think that your dad would't sound like that. That's what his baby talk sounds like.
Really? Oh, I didn't even think that your dad would have one of those voices.
Dude, my dad's baby talk voice is like, where did this come from?
Yeah.
And he does this.
I think my dad does a lot of tongue, too.
Why did dads bite their own tongues, dude?
You remember my dad's tongue? It just looks like someone took a knife to it.
It looked like someone went over with a fucking lawnmower on your dad's... My dad's tongue, like the looks like someone took a knife to it looked like someone went over with a fucking lawnmower
Yeah on your dad like my dad's tongue like the slit down the middle is deep. It was the fucking
Parted Red Sea it Legitimately might be a full half inch of depth in his tongue. It's insane
Yeah, you could hide a whole piece of chicken in it. Yeah. Yeah, and he probably did
That's why he had a brush show aggressively because the you know get in that tongue all the probably crazy
Yeah, you know a tongue scraper. I do have a tongue scraper. I don't have one I want one
CBS very easy very very easy. No one's asking
Where do I I said I want one make Make it happen you fucking, you know, big guy.
Whatever, I'm on the Turkish guy's side.
Fuck you Turkish guy's side.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.
No, I wasn't, you know, if I could speak to this man of Turkey one more time, I would apologize.
This man of Turkey. Just let him know I felt bad. You know, I was just very hungry. Hunger and drunk.
Drunker.
Drunker.
Drunker is an insane, like,
mixture of things to be experiencing.
Or a hunk.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm fine with that.
Hunk.
What a stupid word.
Speaking a hunk.
That's a weird way. That's so weird
I was I wanted to tell you this story
We went away a couple days ago for like two nights. Tell me there's a hunk involved in this well me. Oh
No, but on the way back, you know when like
Fucking like cars are really dirty or like trucks are really dirty and someone will in the dirt, right? Wash me. Oh
Yeah, I mean I just everyone just draws cocks
You've drawn on a dirty car before a dick. Yeah, probably exclusively
You've exclusively drawn on dirty cars just dicks
Yeah, like when I've I haven't done that in years, but when I was younger and it was like, oh, there's like pollen on this car, dick.
Full dick.
Of course.
I have a serious question.
Yes?
How are you drawing your dicks?
Are you now, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you going ball, ball, cock?
Are you going like a Mickey mouse and then cock?
Or are you going circle going circle circle wiener
There's several ways to draw a dick
I do w ball and then penis out
So you go out you go penis out
I do side profile penis
You do Mickey Mouse? Who does Mickey Mouse?
I don't do Mickey Mouse, but I do
Ball dick ball
I do mostly circles
Like Disney Channel?
That's a stupid way to draw a penis. Yeah. Hey, you're watching the basement yard
Yeah
Do you draw circumcised penises I do draw who's who draws
Uncircumcised dick well, I think it's just you just don't do the line
You just make it like a fucking like and you make it peeing or coming or whatever
Oh, you do every now and then you do a little drips.
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.
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.
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.
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?
You put it right in the middle or do you put it like an artist like at the bottom a little bit?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
So you can get 25% off your subscription

in an old high school like that, doors were like the handles were like egg
shaped yeah and they were like copper what I want to talk about is keyholes oh
I love keyholes for some reason I love keyhole I like that you can look through
it I like that you can look at one and you could see someone looking through it
too I gotta say modern keyholes whack don't hit the way that classic keyholes did like the the keyhole that looks like this
Yes, not this like squiggly line that you can't look into I want to look I want to peer into a keyhole and be like
I'm looking at something going on inside and also big keys. Give me those keys. I miss big keys
I think that they had to do away with those because there's only so much that they could do and they're easily probably
Big keys I think that they had to do away with those because there's only so much that they could do and they're easily
Probably but but cooler. I think I agree like a big key like bro big keys
It's just the title of the movie Indian in the cupboard
What a movie because do you remember the VHS the claims in an Indian though?
Okay, but it's the title of the movie. I know the clamshell
VHS like yeah thing that came in it had one of those keyholes that you did it unlock. I like that Oh, dude, I like when I find kids toys that have the keys like that and you can unlock shit
I just do that all we need we need to just start making keys cool again because keys have kind of gone backward and now
We're getting into like electronic keys where they're just flat. Yeah, what the fuck?
Like key fobs?
No.
Bro, also we're getting rid of door handles apparently.
I walked up to and over the other day and it was a button to open the door.
I'm like, what the fuck is that?
No, no, no, no.
We are taking all of the joy out of just slamming things.
Clicking.
I like clicking.
Clicking, clanking, slamming.
Yeah, not button pressing.
I don't want that.
I want to aggressively slam a car door bro do you ever fucking go to someone's house and
they have an automatic trash can uh I I know what you're talking about I think
you do you go like this and it opens up I'm like what is this I need a step I
need a step on it too I need a step to at least at least like what you have
here like a button so it fucking flops open
No, that's a step. Is it that yeah? There are other ones I've seen that are just like you push down a button and it fucking pink
Oh, I've seen that too. I'm cool with that
But like why we're making everything automatic and we're losing the soul that this stuff has I like to do things
I want to do things too. I want to like click bro
You know how angry I get when I get into like a vehicle of any sort and they're like
to close the door, press a button.
I wanna fucking like,
we're back.
Yeah, or like getting out of a Tesla.
It's a button.
I'm like, what am I doing?
I don't like buttons.
I need-
I like using my whole arm.
And I will say this,
and you might think I'm crazy for here.
We need to bring back rolling down the windows.
I like that too.
We need to bring that back because there is a, when you're committing to rolling down or up a window. It's an action
Yeah, you know like not like it just like a
I want a fucking whack
Why I want the option to I would like the option at least give me the option
Well, there are I follow this account because they're really nice and I'm sure you've seen them but it's like vintage but modernized like Ford Broncos. I love that
shit. And they have the window crank but it's a button. Don't do that. Explain that. It's
a window crank. Oh it looks like it. And you just press it down and it opens and closes.
Wax sauce. If there is not like like, I need to have crankage.
I want to crank.
I want to crank it.
Yeah.
And also, bring back flip phones.
Slap it, I'm shut.
Oh.

Well we've jokingly done one, yeah.
Slammed it.
Yeah?
Fucking, but it's just fun.
But hook it up.
I know.
Hook it up and pull. Was it you who walked into my apartment was like does this work?
Probably because I was like dumbass when I cut anytime I go to Joey's place
I touch as much stuff as I can yo and honestly I know that you do it now as a joke with that first time
I was like Frankie stop moving
He's like what is this?
down
I'm like a kid in a candy shop.
It's a new place and I have to explore
with all of my senses, including the tactile.
But-
Hopefully not a kid like me,
because when I went to the candy shop when I was younger-
Yeah, you got sticky fingers.
That's the fingers that you-
I'm robbing the place blind.
The story I was telling earlier is trucks, dirt.
Yes.
We're driving home from our mini vacation
and there's a truck and it's like,
it has something written on it.
And it's clearly, it's a smiley face
and it says, daddy, you're so strong.
And I'm thinking like, it's like a mom and pop shop truck.
What does that mean?
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?
Well, it's the thing that goes up and down on the truck.
Like the back part of the truck.
Oh, oh.
You know what I'm talking about. Yes, yes, yes.
What they held on to in Toy Story.
You know what I'm talking about?
Slank!
And it says daddy you're so strong. So I'm thinking like, oh, this is like the kids wrote
something for their dad on the truck.
That's sweet.
I go, oh, Miles, look.
And we're driving.
And he's like, what's that other one say?
Oh, it says daddy, you don't want to suck or something?
Next to what it says.
Fuck me daddy.
I'm like, you read it out loud?
No, and I'm looking at it and I'm like, oh.
Just ignored it and sped past it.
You read it wrong or it said-
I couldn't see what it said at first because I side Frank.
Right.
You know?
But it said, you know, closer to me it said daddy you're so strong.
I'm thinking like, oh alright. Next to it I, you know closer to me. It said daddy. You're so strong. I'm thinking like alright next to it
I'm like
So I thought I was like I love you daddy or like, you know, you're my hero daddy
It was fuck me dad. Fuck me daddy, right? Yeah, so then it put more emphasis on the previous message
He's so strong daddy. So pick me up and fuck me daddy. Well, yeah
Pick me up. Well, if you're strong, I could be just a, you have strong hips, strong thrust.
Or strong, you know, emotionally strong.
Emotionally strong, yeah.

She's like, she's clearly not Simba material, we know that.
She's a child though, she's a child and I'm being harsh.
Everyone needs to chill the fuck out because people are just like,

Bro, Disney, Walt Disney. That was a Disney production? Yes. What? Wait, I don't even know what you mean.
Bro, Disney, Walt Disney.

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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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-
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?
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-
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.

All right.
I was gonna say something and it's gone.
I don't remember it.
Yeah, I know.
What was it?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
So stupid. But like swords. 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.
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
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
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
but a
and like double axed and he jumps off and he's just like
Ah, yeah way cooler than fuck. No, it's Aragorn Aragorn was way cooler. Legolas coolest
Obviously Legolas coolest because of the bow and arrows also he had two skinny swords too. 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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.

Don't go in the basement I think it's called.
Yeah, so I don't know what happens in that book

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

Doing experiments and becoming like half plant right and he's like drinking chlorophyll

opens and spiral staircase and then that big fucking why is he dressed like the
Undertaker

Tale of the Gastly Grinner.
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Yes, yes. It's a jester.

I also hated that one.
Rum tum pink wimpunk.
Horrible.
I hated the one that, I mean,
they played it like every like Halloween back then,
but the girl put on the mask and the mask became part of her.
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
Then there's the one that it's like the killer sponge
The best one was slappy the dummy though

By the way,
people who grew up not afraid of the dark, you weren're afraid of the dark are you afraid of the dark by the way people who grew up not afraid of the dark you weren't afraid of the dark not one bit terrified why it's dark I always am I about to learn something about you
what I remember being a you, middle school aged young lad
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
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.
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
Yeah, I mean who would have thought that all women wanted was someone to talk to and be treated like treated well women
They're fucking they were 11, dude
Okay, how old do you what grade are you in when you're 11?
Fifth grade so yeah 12 13
If I'm just really fast this girl is gonna like me Yeah, Joey would take off and run his face. And they- spoiler. Spoiler!
I would run away from girls.
Spoiler, they liked him because of his face.
Not my speed. Not your speed.
If anything, your speed probably took you down a notch.
They were like, this guy is kinda giving me the ick right here.
He's just running. He's running away from me.
He's just running.
Why is he running in circles? What's going on?
And I was the type that like,
I would be like
My legs are mostly scars and I've gotten kicked in the balls. I have iron balls, you know
Yo, wait. Oh
No, that was Keith what remember when Keith was like give me a purple purple purple I was I was I was the one that was like you can hit me in the nuts
And if I brace myself for impact it won't hurt
Guess what?
Spoiler, it hurt.
He was just masking the pain.
Even with the brace, I'd be like,
nothing.
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
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.
I think it was like my mom,
we were like going through pictures and I'm like,
I bet Frankie remembers this day.
What was the day?
I don't remember.
Oh.
I don't remember from.
You don't remember from two days ago seeing the picture.
How the fuck do you expect me to remember it
from 14 years ago?
Well, I'm saying if you saw it.
Yeah, probably. You would, but honestly.
Yeah, good times.
Good times.
I'm more comfortable in the dark.
Cool. Anyway, I think we comfortable in the dark. Cool.
Anyway, I think we can end it there.
