So if you guys saw the video Uploaded on this channel a couple like last week or something. I don't remember the fucking dates anymore I'm losing it 26 whatever it was We went to Radio City and I could tell you that me and Frankie walked out there and we're like, what are we? Huh? I think in the video they captured the moment where we walk out and it goes what are we doing? It's just like For those you guys that are not from New York

What the fuck are we doing? It's just like, for those of you guys that are not from New York, everyone knows Radio City because of the Rockettes. Rockettes. Which I'm working on my legs. I don't think they're going to, first of all, you can't go out there at those fucking hairy things.

I'm gonna throw up You have like you have to throw up before the show, right? Well, you don't have to throw up. I think there's one one vom it that should occur. Yeah. Because of just the sheer insanity. If you, everyone knows of radio city, but like New Yorkers or people in the tri-state area really grasp how like iconic radio city is when you're walking or driving down sixth avenue and you see that sign. It's fucking crazy

It's just not I can't believe that we're gonna do it. You know we might not guys I can't even begin to tell you like we want to sell this thing out in the first day So bad, I mean we want to sell it out period period period, but selling it out in the first day would really Probably give me a wild imposter syndrome attack and I'm willing to put up with that. Because I think that like. Every time I come in here I'm like, how you doing man?

He's like, I don't even know man. Yeah, I. It's like, we've both been having this like weird sense of just like, who are we right now? What are we supposed to be doing versus what we are doing? So. This is like the biggest possible dream Who are we right now? What are we supposed to be doing versus what we are doing? So- This is like the biggest possible dream

that Frank and I could have had. This is bigger than that, because I don't think that we've ever thought that we would be able to do something like this. Like on stage at Radio fucking. What are we talking about? This is the thing. People don't believe that they can do Radio City

until they've done other things that are also crazy. And we have done things, like the tour as it is, Insanity. And the fact that we've done that and now we're also doing this other thing that is just crazier a little bit. It doesn't really help because it doesn't feel like I'm getting used to this

or like that. They're like, oh, you've done a theater. So now go do radio. I'd be like, oh, yeah, exactly. People before the shows will say like, do you guys get nervous? And there isn't nerves, but there is an expectation. Like it's just still crazy.

Like every time we do this, it's nuts that we're doing this. So now doing it in a venue that has been, like literally this stage, we will be sharing the stage, not literally, cause he's dead, with Frank Sinatra. Rockettes, you know, the Grammys were there, Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga Gaga.

Lady Gaga. You know, like just the absolute insanity. And like we saw like the backstage and it's like, dude, just nuts dude. This is insane. And like, not a lot of podcasts have done Radio City. Like, and also dude. Here it goes, here it goes guys.

You gotta start it. This episode is not brought to you by. Yeah, hold on. Uh oh, went out. It's fine. Cares. Charlie, fix it. When we went to Radio City to shoot parts of that video

that we put out, there was a book in a glass case and it has the signatures of all of these, the most famous people in the world, the Beatles are in there, Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Harry Styles. Dave Chappelle. Insane shit shit and they're like oh you guys get to sign this thing and it's like what are we doing here because i know that like the show like

does well and it's like you know but it's not like the most popular podcast in the world yet it's not like yet i know yet but like it's not like that and then me and me and him Are gonna go sign this fucking book next to fucking Paul McCartney. I'm talking about I'm trying not to like get emotional but like the idea that Are you emotion? I'm up. Are you emotional do this? Don't do it. You're emotional. Shut up bitch Don't fucking point at me. Fix your light, loser. Okay.

Just like the fact that like, I remember all of like, it feels like yesterday that we started doing this and then like everything that has gone into it and just like everything that is still going into it, like I just can't even begin to sit everything that has gone into it. And just like everything that is still going into it. Like I have like, I just can't even begin to sit and like conceptualize how this is happening.

And like, it's just, it's wild, you know? And like, I don't, I don't even know. I truly like don't even know what to say right now. My brain is firing off on all cylinders. Yeah, I have no idea. I just, there's been shows on this tour that people have like come up to us and be like, oh, we flew from Alabama or we flew from Dallas to be here and whatever. And I'm always like, Jesus, why did you do that? And I'm going to go ahead and say, I

want all of that at this show. Like, this is crazy because it's like 6,000 people that are gonna be at this thing. It's a couple people. If we sell it out it's 6,000 people and I just would love if like the people who have been watching me forever and the people who have you know fell in love with this show like when me and Frankie were doing it together like I just want everyone to be there for that moment because it's such an important moment for me and him that like, and we just, and you gave it to us. So we want you to like be there, you know? Like even if you've come to a different show on the tour,

every single show of this tour has been different and we're like adding shit and like doing whatever. So by the time this show even rolls around in October, we don't even know. We don't even know what the fuck. It might be just a monster and conglomerate. Full disclosure, they're sending us emails like, so like, do you need this or that? We in October. We don't even know. We don't even know what the fuck. It might be just a monster and conglomerate. Full disclosure, they're sending us emails like, so like, do you need this or that?

We're like, we don't know yet. Again, by the way, without exaggeration, five people doing all of this. Yeah. Five people. Greg, Mikey, Ahmed, Joey, and myself. Yeah. So. It's fucking crazy, dude. It's crazy because, I mean,

I assume people have seen the video, but like, we, in the video, like, we talk about, like, it's just like all the things that have kind of gotten us to like where we were and like where we are now. First of all, don't make sense. And then like, bro, this started from like something small. Like your mom just being like, he might like a camera. You know what I mean?

And then like, you're just like, yo, let's just like fuck around and like, you know, record you getting kicked in the face by Keith, you know? And it comes to like, then you look at like, everything that you've had to do and like, and again, I don't wanna get like too emotional, but like literally listening to the closest people in your life, I'm sure at points in time myself being like,

dude, what are you doing? Like you need to like do something more structured to like, then you like transitioning to doing your own thing to fucking, you know, me getting married, my bro, like Becca being home and watching the kids so we can do all this shit. Like there's, it is, it is absolutely wild that like, this is all happening and we're going to go up there

and just like say like pee pee butt, pee pee butt. Pee pee butt dick hole. Pee pee butt dick hole. You know what I mean? Pee pee butt, pee pee butt, dick hole, boobies. Yeah. Boobies in there somewhere. Are we going all boob or just nip?

Well, wait, what? Are we going all boob or just nipple? If you're going all boob, that includes a nipple. I'm not gonna get down that. Oh, frogs and toads. No. Nipples or boobs, boobs are not nipples. Shh, shut it.

Nipples are not boobs. Well, what's a boob, what's a nipple without a boob? See, now he's got me. He's got me in his web. But guys, you can go to thebasementyard.com right now. I mean, they're not on sale at the moment if you're listening at 7 AM. Or you can just stare at the website.

10 AM Eastern with the pre-sale code basement. Guys, I just listen. On July 1st. On July 1st. On July 1st. On July 1st. Well, that's today if you're listening to it. Yeah, but what if people listen to it

a little later than today? Well, then it's on sale. Then it's not today. Also, tickets go on sale to the general public July 3rd at 10 AM, two days later. We don't want that normies to get these. We don't want that. We don't want that normies to get these. We don't want that.

We want it to sell out with a free sale. I legitimately imagined, like I was thinking about this for like Denver or like fucking like Nashville, but like a normal person on the street just goes to the local theater and says like, what's playing this week? And they see a ticket for our show and they're like,

let's see what this is about. Dude, I. This guys, I'm not, this is going to probably put a little bit of a dent into both of our mental illness, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. So if you want that on your, you know, I just like, I'm trying to imagine like what this is going to look like because we were there we like walked through like the crowd and stuff when we were at Radio City and I'm like this is

so many people this is the biggest show by thousands like that we will do on the tour yeah double and it's in New York this is where we're from a lot of people have been asking us for the date and we finally have it and we're like oh we're holding on to something special because we want to shoot that video. So everyone can kind of like really see, I know that we talk about it and maybe, you know, it doesn't come across as much. That's why the video was important to kind of like put out just so everyone can kind of understand like the journey to get to this point. And like, this is not normal, like for, and it's not normal for like anybody to like You know actually accomplish those types of things but especially

For where we are right now, like it is an overwhelming amount of support and it doesn't make sense I've had conversations with people who are very successful Artists that you know have sold out fucking places that have 10,000 people, but then they come to New York and they can't do Radio City. Or they can't sell out Radio City. Or it's just like, it's insane. And we're not the most popular podcast in the world. We're people that people are like,

oh, I think I've seen their face. I've seen the TikTok. But then you sell out Radio City, and then everyone's like, holy shit, who the fuck this? So like this is like life-changing shit for us. Well, let's let's sell out first Let's sell out first before regardless I mean being able to do like we're going to do it like being able to do it is like Unbelievable and I think what makes it what makes it insane is that? We're being it's really and like this is such a cliche

But like it's really because of the people that watch you people, you right there, sitting right there, that's watching this. Like, you have given us this opportunity. And that is something that we have had candid conversations about off air, and we don't take that for granted. And I think that, you know, it's just, it's gonna be not, it's crazy because in the video, there is a part of video that I forgot that we had shot,

but as soon as I saw it, I immediately remembered it down to like a physical level. Which one? When Keith swings the broomstick and hits me in the stomach. This is what we were shooting back in the day. Just so you know, I remember that because it hurt so bad. That like left a mark for like a full day. It was like two days that left a mark because Keith,

just so you know, back in the day, Keith was like a physical specimen. Sicko, honestly. Not just a sicko, but like also like he was the fastest kid we knew. Yeah. By far. Also pretty strong per capita.

Yeah. Yeah. Cause he's, he's built smaller, like five, two, like your size. Don't. And he has like a lot of strength behind him. Yeah. So when he swung that thing, it was like, I was getting hit in the stomach by fucking Barry Bonds.

Yeah. I remember that also pretty vividly. And I remember, getting hit in the stomach by fucking Barry Bonds. Yeah. I remember that also pretty vividly. And I remember, I think in the video, you can hear my laugh, which I'm like, who does that? Yeah. Literally like a, I was like a squeak toy back then for some reason.

Do you remember the video we did making fun of, not making fun of, I guess we were just doing like a Steve Irwin animal exploration thing. Yeah, and I was just screaming into a beer bomb. You were? That was the whole video. Like I was Yeah, and I was just screaming into a beer bomb. You were. That was the whole video. Like I was an animal and I was just screaming into a beer bomb and in my basement, the fucked up basement.

The part of the basement that looked like, you know, it was straight out of Nightmare on Elm Street, that back boiler room. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. There was like all like the exposed pipes. Since has been renovated.

Yeah, it looks great down there by the way. Yeah. What I've seen, I haven't been quite there in a couple years, but just like. Bro, it's crazy. Also, like there's a moment in that video that we put out where I'm like sitting in my car and I'm talking about how like I envisioned

shooting this video one day and I had no idea what it was and it was probably just like a stupid little thing that I was doing of being like I said in the video like I was doing an interview with barbell Walters or something Yeah at the time if I can imagine what 2011 Joey was imagining it was something along the lines of like it would open with like You know like fucking What's happening by the yin-yang twins? It's a great song like, you know, like fucking what's happening by the Ying Yang twins.

You know, and then it would be like the same font that was used for the NFL street games. First of all, you had a bunch of t-shirts with that font on it that said like, facts, the great. No, I didn't. I had, I only had like two custom t-shirts and I wore them like once or twice. I remember one was like gangster life or whatever the fuck.

It was thug life. Thug life. Thug life and the other one was a spray painted diplomats shirt Things are going well for Frank back then. They were. Bitch. He grew up two blocks from me by the way. Across the street from Somewhere. Jesus Christos from a church. His playground. Yeah, you know so to say. His playground. That's what churches are They're Christ's playground. Christ's playground. He goes in there, he plays around a little bit. Christ's hotels. What?

Is it like hotels? He has to visit all of them, right? I mean, I think he can be at all of them at the same time. Like Santa Claus? I don't know. You tell me. I don't know. You were the one that was like fucking,

like confirmed and stuff. I was confirmed. You know what? Which, what is that? Is that like they're just testing to make sure you're actually of God? Just like we're confirming this guy is A-okay. Yeah. Is it really?

Do you have to like pick a name? I picked Nicholas. Nicholas, I remember Nicholas. I don't know. I was just like, I don't know. Seems like a normal name. I remember one of our friends at the time, I haven't spoken to this kid in a decade plus. But Joe.

Yeah, he picked Finbar. Finbar. Because he was like, oh, it's the dumbest looking saint name. And boy was it. Yeah, Finbar. So now that's attached to him. By the way, the originator of like,

sharing passwords for stuff. Do you remember that? No. Oh man. He had stolen his mom's credit card and bought like a porn subscription. Wait, what? Yeah, you don't remember this?

He had stolen his mom's credit card and bought a porn subscription and gave us all the password. It was for like- First of all, it didn't get the password. Which site was it? I don't remember exactly which one, but it was one of the, you know, like- Big round and brown. Yeah, yeah. Or what was the other one?

We lived together or something like that. Was that like a lesbian? It was all lesbians. Right, yeah. Or what was the other one? We live together or something like that. Was that like a lesbian? It was all lesbians. Right, yeah. Which was fire. But like, not like real lesbians, like, you know, like. Fake lesbians? Like, yeah.

Faux lesbians. Is that what you're saying? Faux lesbians. Oh, okay, yeah. But you know what I'm talking about. What is We Live Together? What kind of name is that? I don't know. I have no clue,

but I remember 2004, five maybe, going on the website and they would have just like the clips there. First of all, how did this kid's mom not know? I mean, you're not seeing like, look, big lesbian porn on the fucking statement? I mean, maybe they like, I don't know, maybe, but I remember he gave a bunch of us the password. Maybe I guess you weren't cool enough with him.

Damn dude. I didn't notice I didn't use his last name, just in case. Yeah, right, just in case. Just in case he's still been doing it. Yeah. His mom is still paying for it. Can you imagine? But she's still paying for We Live Together?

Oh yeah, could you imagine? Is that still a website? I don't know, you tell me. I don't know. You big porn boy. I know that was coming. I'm surprised it took this long to say that. No, it was. And then I don't know if you remember this, but oh no, you drove. We saw one of our childhood crushes moms walking the street.

Oh yeah. I'm not going to say who. Well, you, that was, you had a crush on her. Well, I think at a certain point you did too, probably. No, no, no, she made me cry, but I wasn't because I had a crush That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's because I forgot what I did But she's like I'm gonna tell on you and I was like, I don't fucking care tell on me And then she didn't I cry. Yeah, I called her gay at your second grade birthday party watching Watching my dog skip which if anyone at the time was getting called gay It was the person whose birthday party was watching my dog skip which if anyone at the time was getting called gay It was the person whose birthday party was watching my dog skip How you doing and I cried at that too, by the way that makes sense a dog with a shovel

It's Frankie Muniz. That's an American treasure Frank you guys They did hit a dog with a shovel fucked up dog lip. Don't worry and like you heard like the pink when it hit it It was like Chill and I just started crying like crazy. Why was Bridget gay? Why did you call her gay? don't worry. And like you heard like the pink when it hit him. Yeah it was like, pink! And then the dog was like, pink! I was like nah chill. And I just started crying like crazy. Why was Bridget gay? Why did you call her gay? Because everything that was.

But do you remember what she did? Everything that was different in 1999, we had to call gay in order to feel good about ourselves. Well yeah, that was the rules of society. That was the rule of society in 1999. Anything that made you go, what? You were like, gay. No. But what did she do?

Was she just like, just chilled? Oh, I think I was just trying to, like I was just like. Oh, you were flirting. I was trying to flirt, probably. Just get to flirting going, you're gay. And you know who calmed me down? I think I've told this story, maybe not.

Oh, yes, you went into the bathroom, right? I went to the bathroom in the basement of the Sunnyside movie theater, which I don't know if it's even there now. Sunnyside? It was in Sunnyside. It was like right under the seven train. Like I forgot what street, you know, what stuff it was.

I remember because Chelsea had a birthday party there. My brothers had a birthday party there. Yeah, it was like for like 80 bucks, you can like rent out a theater with popcorn for every kid and go watch a movie. But I went into the basement, obviously upset in the stall and your neighbor Richie came in. And he's like, yo, it's okay.

He's like, it's all right. She's not, I don't think she's gay. You know, like he said something along the lines, like you're okay. Yeah. You know? Well, that's nice. Yeah.

Did you apologize or she was just gay for life? No, she's been gay ever since. She's been gay ever since. Hasn't apologized since. I feel bad about it. Confirmed not gay, gay for life. No, she's been gay ever since. She's been gay ever since. Hasn't apologized since. I feel bad about it. Confirmed not gay, married for sure. Well, and also confirmed, like you have been confirmed. Also confirmed she was in my CCD class, so.

Really? I was in CCD for a little bit, and then I got out of there. Yeah. Were you? I was, for like two years. How are you CCD? You're not even Catholic. They put me in it.

Don't ask me how or why. Who is they, the Lord? Or your parents? The Lord beckoned me to find his teachings. Oh, came to you like the burning bush They put me in it, don't ask me how or why. Who is they, the Lord? Or your parents? The Lord beckoned me to find his teachings. Oh, came to you like the burning bush and put you in CCD, even though you're Greek Orthodox? Yes, I was baptized Greek Orthodox.

And the Greek Orthodox, they do like all that at the beginning, they're like, you're baptized, you're communed, you're confirmed. Like you're good for life. How do they baptize you, are they dunkers? Oh hell? Yeah, they're done. They don't like Catholics are boring. They just put a little bit of water on your head Oh, no other fucking religions. They're talking to baby This fucking this fucking priest this Greek Orthodox priest held me under the water like Harrison Ford and what lies beneath that fire?

I'm telling you like he was just like I love watching those videos where it's like this priest is basically treating this baby like a woman would wash her clothes in a river Just like yeah, yeah Had that bumpy board and just ran me up and down it the whole time it's crazy I think there was like a little oil It was probably like oil and vinegar in there and like he was like dunking his like Yeah, and shit, and then he poured it over his Greek salad He's pouring the holy water over his son, it's very good trust me

It's seasoned with baby You know those priests Did I ever tell you that during Covid I think it was my nephew was getting baptized Yeah, you did tell me this and the guy came in with a bucket of water to fill up the thing. That's fire.

And I was like, are you gonna bless this thing? Are we still in? Can you drink holy water? I wouldn't. Why? Because. Then you got the power of Christ inside you. Well, sure, but you drink the wine.

But you eat the host, you have the body and the blood. Okay. Gross, by the way, I'm way more inclined to drink the Christ water than I am the blood of Christ. Well, no, everyone, so when you're walking at- I know, they dunk their fingers in it. They like season their fingers. So you're gonna drink a thing

that everyone put their fucking fingers in? I'm saying, give me a fresh bucket of holy water. Bucket, how thirsty are you? You never know, maybe we're going on a hike, you know? Thirsty for that holy water. That holy water be hitting sometimes. I used to just love doing stuff. Have you ever seen iced holy water?

Iced? Yeah. No. It's room temp. Do you think the church makes cocktails with their holy water? No. They do not.

Why not? If you made a good red wine spritzer and the ice was like frozen holy water Holy water is just water. It's not but it's been holied. Yeah, they like do a thing they go like Do they put their do you want to like holify water one day? Do you think they'll allow you don't think that's a verb But no, I can't That's a verb, but no, I can't. Bless is the word I'm looking for. Holified.

I'm not even kidding. I said that entirely forgetting the word bless. Holified. No, you have to, I'm assuming you have to be some sort of priest or deacon or bishop or cardinal or what is some other bird? I don't know. Deacon's not a bird. Well, a cardinal is.

Yeah, it is. Blue Jay. Yeah. You know, I'm an oriole of Christ. I just the hummingbird of the Lord. I wonder like is holy water just straight up water that has been blessed or is it so is the wine which is weird because they call it the blood of Christ but it was white wine in my church. I don't know if other people

would have like a nice capsaicin but we had like you know just like a chardonnay damn so basically your entire wine journey has just been you trying to make up for the fact that you were given white wine your whole childhood. I was, my, so communion third grade, you're allowed to drink the wine and you could do it in like, what? You can, crazy.

Can we agree to that? Not in Italy. Can we? Babies are born, they shove a bottle on its mouth. Crazy, but the idea of a priest handing a child wine. Try this out. And I like, you could have done it because we had to do like, you know,

like practice for it. You had to show up, like be like, yo, it's just like dress rehearsal. It was a dress rehearsal. All right, so this is your cue. You're gonna come up, you're gonna drink the wine and you're sick. Oh, you were probably like.

No, so I... No, you could have like no, so I Know I you could have but I didn't cuz I was like afraid to drink wine because I was like, oh I'm gonna get drunk I'm gonna throw up So I didn't do it in practice But then the day of the game came and I was like, I'm gonna fucking slug this wine and I hadn't I was like That is the most disgusting thing I've ever put in my mouth. Yeah red wine for a child I know it was white white wine for a child wine for. Red wine for a child. No, it was white. White wine for a child. Wine for a child. Alcohol for a child.

Yeah. Not very delicious. Yeah, I was never like, ooh, very good. I was like, that was someone pissed in that. That's such a crazy. Yeah. And what are the fucking the Greeks do? Uzo, probably those freaks. Oh, my God.

They're just like, they give me, they give these, you know, and then they fucking they give you a fucking cup of Uzo with like a strip of like gyro meeting it I Would love a gyro right now, dude.

That cures it all. Who's your Cuban friend? Eric. That's true. He's very Cuban, too. So Cuban, he moved to Miami and true. He's very Cuban too. So Cuban he moved to Miami and now exclusively drinks cafecitos. Yeah.

Cafecitos. Do you remember why I started making fun of him for that? Cause he, yeah. Wasn't he like saying, cause he was like, fucking like, yo, like we're going to go out to the club. We're going to get bottles. I don't know if I should say this.

Is this bad to say? I don't know what you're going to say. Just like the go out to club and get bottles. I don't know if I should say this is this bad to say I don't know what you're gonna say just like that go out to club and get bottles It was just funny because like why is that bad to say? I don't know but like then he would be like, yo I need a coffee seat. Oh so bad right now and it's just like the juxtaposition of being like, you know, like And then drinking a little baby coffee well that is not a little baby coffee it's strong from what I understand I've never had one. Me neither, but I think he says they give them out at his barbershop. He's in the thick of Miami, so he's going through it right now.

But we do have some sponsors for today before we move on with this episode. The first one being BetterHelp. BetterHelp online therapy. You guys can jump into the world of therapy via BetterHelp because it is more affordable than in-person therapy. And that is like one of the biggest deterrents for people is like, I would love to do some therapy but it is extremely expensive and I just can't afford to do that but BetterHelp is a fraction of the price.

They have licensed therapists that are going to, you know, help you out, talk to you. You could do it at whatever frequency you want. If you want to do it bi-weekly or you want to do it bi-monthly or whatever the case is, you can do that. And you could start talking to a therapist in just under 48 hours. So they're very quick to connect you to a therapist as well. A lot of people have sort of reached out to me and told me that they've benefited from using this.

So I mean, that's amazing. I'm glad that it's helping some people. But yeah, our show is sponsored by BetterHelp. And you can go to betterhelp.com slash base basement yard to get 10% off of your first month that is bett er Help dot com slash basement yard So go on over to better help comm slash basement yard to get started today and get that 10% off of your first month And yeah, I mean a big advocate of therapy. I think that everyone should be in it. And I love it.

So who doesn't love, you know, feeling like you're at ease with your problems or with your life or yourself? That was deeper than it was supposed to be. Anyway, moving on here, we do have ZocDoc. ZocDoc is a free platform that you can go on and you could find and connect with doctors in your area. So you put in your insurance and then it will tell you, and then you put in which doctor

you want to need if you need a specialist or you just need a regular primary care physician, you just put that in and then it will show you the doctors in your area and their next available appointments. And it's all patient reviewed so you know like you know if someone has like a 4.9 out of 5 you're like oh this is a good doctor and they have an appointment tomorrow at 10 a.m. I'm gonna do that and you know that they take your insurance because you know this is how I started before they were a sponsor of the basement yard that's how I found my primary care physician, because once my mom was like, I'm not taking you, I'm like, where do I go?

I don't even know where the hospital is, or where the doctor's office is. So I went on ZocDoc, put in my insurance, and then that's how I found it. So it's awesome that now that they're a sponsor of the show, but it's a free app and website. So it doesn't cost anything, but you can find you know your next available doctor's appointment right there on the app and you can go to

Zocdoc.com slash basement right now to try the app for free. Okay that is Zocdoc.com slash basement. Z-O-C-D-O-C dot com slash basement. Enjoy. Do you like websites that have the word basement in it? Well, I'm going to give you my favorite one and that's patreon.com slash the basement yard folks. Um, you know, every single week we talk to you, I tell you about the Patreon and the fact that the matter is seriously, as we're kind of in this, the thick of just like trying to realize who we are and what we do in this world. Uh, we're at over 31,000 patrons, which is fucking crazy. Guys, thank you.

I don't need to sit here and plug patreon.com slash the basement yard because you know all the benefits. I tell you every single week, but your support directly helps us live our fucking life and our dreams. So thank you guys and go to the basement yard.com. That's where you're going to find information on the shows. That's where you're going to get links to buy the tickets. That's where you're going to get the link to the Patriot and all that stuff.

So you can go to thebasementyard.com and again, now guys, as we said earlier today, if you're watching this on the date is released July 1st, 2024 at 10 AM Eastern time. Okay. We are releasing the tickets, the presale tickets for October 1st, 2024 New York show at Radio City Music Hall. Saying it doesn't make it more real. It's still crazy to me. So thank you for everyone. Go out, make sure you put in that pre-sale code basement.

And then if you're there and for some reason you're unable to make that show, we, I think as of right now, still have tickets left to the late night show in Atlantic city on July 27th. We're doing it as my birthday bash. We're also just announced doing an after party at the Harris pool club. This is crazy. So thank you guys so much. The support has legitimately been hard for us to even grasp. So, uh, patreon.com slash the basement yard, the basement.com go check all of that stuff out. And, uh, thank you. Also love by the way how Greg put, again you know how Daddy

Greg is, needs to print it out. I guess his printer is no longer printing only blue and now it's just in... It's in raspberry red. It's printed in this color. And then it just says show details. Nothing is there. No details about the show. What are the details about the show? Well we don't know yet.

I mean we kind of have an idea. October 1st, 2024, 8 p.m. Radio City, motherfucking music hall. And again, if you're coming to any of the shows before that, you go to thebasementyard.com slash submit and you input that information, that questionnaire. I assume the one that we do for Radio City is gonna be fucking, it's gonna be something.

I honestly, I got a little caught up in the conversation we were just having about, I can't even remember right now. Yep, yep. And I'm now back into like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah. Bro. We started doing this podcast together in that fuckin' small corner in that fuckin'

In your apartment that I had. And now we're promoting a show at Radio City. What the fuck just happened? It doesn't make sense. I remember, it was one of the first episodes where you did, you had your fucking. My formal interview. The resume.

The number on it was Mama's Empanadas. Mama's Empanadas? That clip is gone. I still see it all over TikTok. It's still a goodie. A lot of like, I should find that resume and bring it back and like update it. Your address was like Dick's, Dick Road

or something like that. You know, you live where you are you are maybe you live what you got That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It doesn't make any sense But guys seriously just to reiterate again like we we want to see you guys there It's gonna mean so much to us that you know we do that I mean, it's I mean it already means so much for us that we even have the opportunity to sell tickets at this thing But selling it out would be like a dream come true. I I just what I don't really think that's going to happen For some reason I can't get that in my head and like this has happened for frankie too like the first show

I mean I felt the same way. I just wasn't saying it out loud because jinx jinx jinx But the first show we went to uh,mont theater in Montclair, New Jersey, and we went there beforehand just to shoot like a little promo, and we saw all the seats, and Frank's like, dude, I don't know if we could sell this place out. And I, and say whether you call it pessimism, realism, or you know, just being, trying to be humble. One of the isms for sure.

It's an ism for sure. Yeah, we know that for sure, that's an ism. There's a certain ism that it isn't. Right. Um, but I just like, I saw those seats and like, first of all, with every one of the other shows that we've done as of recording, I can see all the seats.

Right. You couldn't see all of them in fucking radio city Not at all. There was a couple I have a question for you Will your dad be at that show as a right now? Yes He will be at that thing. My dad will be at that show too I feel like my I've like cuz my dad told me he's like, yeah, but I haven't I haven't talked I haven't like brought it up again. Mm-hmm My dad told me, he's like, yeah, but I haven't brought it up again.

The video actually came out, well, right now when we're recording, it's in July 1st, but the video isn't out yet, so it's not June 26th yet. Now. Yeah. Go ahead, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. But the video comes out on my dad's birthday, so.

Your dad's birthday is June 26th? Yeah, so that's when I'm gonna revisit the conversation. Kind of way dad's birthday. So- Your dad's birthday is June 26th. Yeah, so I like, that's what I'm gonna revisit that conversation. That birthday, kind of way better than your birthday, dude. My birthday is ass. You notice that if you go nine months before your birthday, it's normally like your parents, like anniversary and or birthday or something like that.

Is that true? I think it is. Nine months before my birthday is my dad's. Is your dad's birthday? My dad dad's had a hell of a birthday Well, actually it's like eight and change and I was oh and I was late. So wait a sec. What the hell? Wait Cuz I'm July my dad's born in December. I mean there's nothing to be concerned there Who are in love having sex with each other? I'll take it easy. I don't know about in love

They're people who are in love having sex with each other. Well, take it easy. I don't know about in love. But in something, they were in something. They were in an agreement. Or on the rocks maybe at that time. Take it the fuck easy, okay? No, I think my dad was sober at that point in time, bitch. I was talking about the relationship being on the rocks.

Oh yeah, oh yeah, no, no, no, yeah. You're onto something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's so- My dad was sober. no, no, yeah. You're onto something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's, so- My dad was so- Well, think about it. Nine months before your birthday, two months before is,

and then seven months before that is your mom's birthday. I don't, I can't even follow that because I don't know if it's true, but it makes sense. May, so June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February. Oh shit. Mom. She had a crazy birthday, dude.

My brothers were born nine months after my dad's birthday. That is like for sure. Yeah. And then my sister, I guess. Damn twins. He was going crazy that day. Well, I guess. Damn twins, he was going crazy that day.

Well, take a take a. Um. Um. Um. You know, I was supposed to be a twin. What? Yeah. I was born a twin.

I was not born a twin, I was in gestation a twin. Do you have any extra? Yeah, so I have teeth in my back. I'm kidding. Bro, no lie, you had me going for like a split second. The teeth in my back is fake, No, but I was originally a twin. And you ate your twin? I didn't eat my... I don't mean to speak ill of this because

I'm sure it was very devastating for my parents, but like that baby didn't make it. Because you ate it. No, it didn't make it and then they were like, oh, you're still pregnant with another one. Oh Wow, this guy right here, but it's the first time I'm hearing that yeah, and yeah, there's more I'll tell you offline but like yeah Wow. Yeah, so when neither of us were supposed to be here. Well, all right You definitely weren't supposed to be here But we

But now we are supposed to be here together. And we're supposed to be at Radio City. Guys, tickets go on sale 10 a.m. July 1st. If you're watching this before 10 a.m. get on the website, get ready, get your place in line. It's gonna be an electric night. If we sell this show out before they go on general sale, I will lose my fucking money.

We're gonna have to like sit. I can't, I'm gonna cry like a bitch. I'll be honest with you, the day that tickets go on sale, I'm not touching my phone. I think I'm gonna leave my phone like away from my hand all day. I'm not gonna be able to do that. Yeah, oh God.

I'm gonna like, I'm definitely gonna ignore Greg on that day. That I know. Yeah, because Greg will hit us up and he'll be like, either it'll be like, they're all gone and it's 11 a.m. or he'll be like, um, they're going, you know? Like, he's like, all right, Greg. We've sold eight and I'm like, oh shit. Can you imagine?

We only sell like 10. That would be electric. Well, they probably wouldn't let us do the show. If we only sold 10, that would be the coolest show for those 10 people. Well, I don't think they let us do the show at that point. 20. No. Like I think there's a percentage that you have to hit.

I don't know what it is, but like I'm sure they wouldn't be like, yeah, that would cost us money. Imagine if this show gets canceled because they like shut it down. We couldn't sell it, yeah. This will be an iconic episode if that happens. I also have like, even at shows now,

like we know the show is sold out and then we show up and I'm like, oh yeah, I hope that people come. Yeah, exactly. Because I'm like, I hope they actually show up. Like, I don't know. I am in agreement with you. Like, and also I don't know if this is, you know, kind of showing too much of the sausage here,

but like there is- Whoa, dude. Oh no. Don't show your sausage on this show. No, you know the saying, like, you see how the sausage is made. Oh, I know, Frank. I was doing a comedy. But like beforehand, like before we go on stage, we'll be getting updates from the venue, like the percentage of people that are in this, like actually in there. Yeah.

And it always feels like, oh, not everyone's going to show up. Yeah. And then, you know, it's just weird It's just a weird and cities like it's interesting because like we're when we were in Denver They were like, oh they they're like notorious for like showing up a little later Other shows fucking kites all the time. That's why what is their highest kites all the time? Oh, but like other shows like I think the first show was like at 630 when the doors open There was a giant line at this one, there was no one out there. And we were like, huh, that's why I was like,

I hope people come. Like I was like scared, dude. But yeah, this is fucking crazy. I mean, it always will be crazy to do this. And I don't even know what happens after this, but you know, I just, I want to, I wanna just know that like when we're there that day, that the room is just filled with the most supportive people.

And I know it will be filled with all these people. All of our friends and family are coming to that show. And just all the people that have been there, because there are so many people that I've met at shows or wherever on the street, and they're like, I've been watching you since you had like the fucking little sheep behind you or whatever yeah and like that's crazy and like I want everyone to be there for that because this is such a giant moment in our lives and like just to feel like

we're all in the same space is crazy and just one thing that I wanted to say is again I keep saying like it doesn't make sense for where we are. And like, that's so true because if we do end up selling out Radio City, everyone is then going to be like, who, like, how did you do that? Because people who are like at our level, as far as like viewership and stuff, they don't do that.

And our Patreon is a lot higher than a lot of peoples who have the same viewership as us. And that's all to say that we can honestly look at numbers and whatever and say we have the most supportive fan base ever, dude. And also the people behind us that are, I know I brought it up briefly before, but like I'm a fucking married man with children.

And like the fact that we're getting the opportunity to do this and like, like just like all the things that went into that, like Becca literally looking at me, like I'm going to sit home and watch the kids while you go live your dream. My parents at points in my life being like, yeah, maybe don't do this job or do do this job.

You know, like all like the people that like, I told this story to you a couple of weeks ago, but like our second grade teacher telling us that like, telling our, my parents that you and I were gonna be comedians one day. Like, it's just like. Fucking Ms. Macchio, dude. It's crazy, she's gone probably.

She's gotta be dead, dude. That woman was fucking Skeletor back in 1998. She was barely alive when she was teaching our language arts. So I I think it's safe to say yeah Bang-bang-boom. It's just like this is for me and I know for you like it is gonna be like an intense moment of like self reflection and just seeing everything that has happened to kind of get to where we are and like I Can't give out enough flowers like the reality of it is too and this is not I guess a funny episode at this point in

time although the church stuff was pretty funny like I am here like because of other people you know what I mean like I think that like our dynamic works but like you believed in me my family family believed in me, my wife believed in me. Like I am here because of you. Jesus. Well, I don't know. He might be trying to spite me. He believes in all of us.

I've said some stuff about him. He might be upset at me right now at this point. I'm sorry. That is all it takes. Boom. Clean slate, baby. It's called forgiveness, baby. Clean slate.

And he's just like, ah! Okay! It's just like, I do have moments of like self reflection and like seeing the people in my life that like work really hard to make like a living and like the fact that we're getting this opportunity is something I will like, if it were to stop tomorrow, I will remember to the day I die. Yeah. And like seriously, like you trusting in me in 2020 to be like, yo, come on full time.

Like we can do this together. Crazy. We're all in this together. That's the, I only know that first part of that. When's the last time you watched High Street Musical 1 or 2? Never have watched either. I only know the songs because you sing them. I don't sing we're all in this together.

You memorized one of the dances. One of them at one point in time. It was work this out. I can't sing it or dance it now because Disney will smack the fucking band hammer on us. That's for sure. Probably. But you know, how do we get from the top of the world to the bottom of the heap?

Oh, are you singing? Because I don't wanna. I was gonna. We have ads. Oh, come on! Stamps.com, shout out to Stamps.com for being a sponsor of the show. You can get all of the amazing services

It's toasted up.

Toaster strudels in here, let me tell ya. Bro, I was toasted in here. By the way, I forgot them at home. Just pretty fools. Toasters? What am I saying? I'm just saying the pop. I meant to say toaster strudels. The pop tarts that were made for us. Oh, right. Did you eat one? I had one at home. Just briefles. Toasters? What am I saying? I meant to say toaster shrewls. The Pop Tarts that were made for us.

Did you eat one? I had one, yeah. I'm gonna bring the- What's in it? Strawberry filling, bitch. Strawberry filling, bitch. But it's like homemade. Someone made us homemade Pop Tarts.

Becca looked up the person that did it. They're like a on the food network pastry chef. Yeah, like- And you took the whole box. I said I'm bringing it in, I just forgot it. Miles and I had one this morning. He wanted the one specifically- He heated it up?

No. Why did I say it like that? I don't know, he heated it up. He heated it up. He had the one that had the logo on it, the basement yard logo, but like- Oh, he went right for the top. Some of them cracked, I gotta say.

Like some of them cracked. The artwork on it is unbelievable. I saw, I'm not, I am not kidding. They remade the 2002 tie in merch Spider-Man one and I fucking lost my mind when I saw that. Frank was hyped. I was so hyped because I haven't seen that since 2002 and I immediately was brought back to it.

2002, one year after, hello. That's not Joey. Exactly. Joey, Joey, Joey. But Frank, when we got into the green room and there was like a box of them there, he was just like going through it because there was so many also, there was like 20 in there. Joey, Joey, Joey. But Frank when we got into the green room and there was like a box of them there, he was just like going through it, because there was so many also, there was like 20 in there. Yeah, there was a ton.

But they were like homemade pop tarts and they had like this cool artwork on it. He was like, oh! Yeah, some of our merch designs, some like one of like, it was absolutely. There was one of like you, one of me. Yeah, the one of us with the champagne that's on the posters.

Yeah, oh no. It's been an emotional couple of weeks for me. Big time. I cried yesterday, twice in the morning. Why? Dude, big fan of crying. I know, you know how I feel about crying. I'm pretty into it now.

I'm so into it. Joey, I'm telling you right now. So into crying. Wait until you have kids. It's the best crying ever. Oh my God. I stared at the three of them. I stared at the three of them yesterday morning and just like just lost it. First

one was we were in the room all three of us, four of us were dancing to Cuban Pete from the mask and then Ruby goes, Dada, I want to watch it again. I think you just like the movie a lot. I love the movie. And then I go, all right, let's go out there and watch some cartoons. And Miles goes, Kiki, can we watch Darkwing Duck? Lost it again, dude. The joy, you will not understand. And like our parents don't really understand. Do you have an emotional connection to Darkwing Duck? I mean, just the idea that I was sitting there and the heads of all three of them sitting on the couch

eating their breakfast, watching a show. What'd they have for breakfast? That we watched, CTC, bitch. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. And hard boiled eggs, big hard boiled egg house. With? Separate.

Oh, I was like, that is a weird combination. From the moment Maeve wakes up to the moment she falls asleep, she needs food in front of her. She's a big hard boiled egg. She loves hard boiled eggs and she likes bananas. I go Ruby, Ruby, I go Maeve, you want to eat? That's how she calls bananas. She goes, it's so cute. That's a tough one. That's a tough one. It is a really hard one. What were your kids' first words? I think mama, dada, you know, like simple ones. Not like any.

What do you mean by think? You don't have to. Mama, dada, mama, dada. It was like, you know. It's mama. Maeve was a big, like you remember. Was mama a mama? It was probably dada at first

because that's easier to say. And mama, dada, dada, dada. That's easier. It's a nice perk. You know what I mean? Listen, the world is so hard for us men. I know. Especially when you're white. And straight.

Especially when we're given a baby. Like all the hard work we had to do waiting for that baby. I know. All the complaining. The least that we could do is get the first word, right? I know. Like this baby's handed to us and like, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Exactly, is hold it. Yeah. And then you gotta babysit it. Then I have to wake up for it. You have to babysit your baby when your life is busy. Oh my God, then you want me to, hold on, then you want me to spend time with my baby? Yeah.

Get out of here, dude. Your wife has to like, I don't know, fucking go hang out with her friends or something, so you have to babysit it? That's the worst part wild dude wild It's so hard to be a fucking new a new found a new father. Oh babysitting your own kids. Yeah Jesus Christ. I saw a video once where someone liked that where it's like, oh, you know, I got a babysit the kids tonight It's like no that's called being a parent

Yeah, we were recently talking about this and Becca's sister was just like, you don't realize how low the bar is for men. Like we were recently watching something and like they said like, oh, he's such a good dad. Like he hangs out with his son and like he feeds him. And it's like, oh, you mean the literal bear fucking minimum? You just raising it?

Good job. This is a bit by the way. So we're all being aware. Just wanna make sure everyone knows that it's way harder to be the mother. Yeah. Yeah, I would say Bro, imagine something sucking on your nipples for life. I swear to God when you said that sentence all I was thinking about was like Imagine things just sucking on you just sucking on like you ever give yourself hickeys as a kid No, come on. Yeah, you did. No, dude. Yes, you did everyone here knows I'm talking about you give yeah you did. No dude. Yes you did. Everyone here knows what I'm talking about. You give hickeys here?

No. Oh. I didn't. I mean I've like sucked on my arm, but I never gave myself a hickey. Are you a hickey guy? I've never given or gotten one. Oh. Yeah.

Here at the moment, some stuff happens, you know? But like, I feel like- Becca's had to cover up some stuff, you know? Oh. Alright. Like, hickeys. I shouldn't say that either. That sounds like she covered up a murder.

She's had to cover up some stuff. I thought you were saying like, sounds like a black eye. Or that too. She's like, yeah, she's had to fucking, you better cover that up. She fell, she fell down the stairs and hit her eye on the floor.

And broke her nose. So you know, my thighs are stuck to this chair right now. I'm actually feeling a little sticky as well. Are those high? No, these are the shorts. These are the shorts? What are the shorts? There's no like, this is like,

they're just the normal inseam. Nice. Five inches? I like them. That looks more like 12 inches. Yeah, I would say so. I was thinking two feet. Definitely enough. No, I would say so. I was thinking two feet. Definitely enough.

Regardless of the length, I would say it certainly is more than enough to get the job done. I agree. Whatever job that is. What an episode. What an episode. We've talked about zero of the things.

Zero, do you wanna talk about any of them or do you wanna just keep rolling? What? No, I'd rather just keep doing what we're doing now. Just keep vibing, right? We're relishing. I don't know what that means to relish. I'm not relish, I'm not a relish guy.

I don't like sweet pickles chopped up. That's really all it is. That sounds nice. I don't like sweet pickles. I like crunchy, soury garlic pickles. I like that too, that sounds amazing right now. Way better than sweet. I would love some cinnamon toast crunch also.

Yeah? I could definitely do without a hard boil Remember when we almost lost cinnamon toast crunch because there was like shrimp tails in it What you remember that that happened? We talked about it on the show like three and a half years ago I thought you meant me and you I was like, what are you talking about? But yeah, I forgot about yeah There was like it was like someone like poured out a bowl of CTC and there was like a shrimp tail in it I'm gonna be honest if I poured out a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and a shrimp tail popped out I would move the tail.

I would put the milk in and I would ingest. Yeah, I will not normally. And then you would be in trouble because you are allergic to shrimp apparently. Yeah, we're going to figure that out. We're going to figure that out. It's got to be like mind over matter. Like when we went to dinner a couple of weeks ago

and we got that shrimp cocktail, you should have just downed it and like willed yourself out of having any like allergic reaction. Not how it works, but I appreciate you saying that. I think that is how it works. Your mom didn't eat enough shrimp with you in the womb. That's what they say. That's not how allergies are made.

There is apparently, I don't know if it's an old wives tale or if it's actual research, either one don't care. I'm going to talk about it as it's real. I love how he was like, you basically said it's either true or it's not. They say if you have, like, whether it be like peanuts or shellfish, you know, cooked shellfish, like a shrimp cocktail, not oysters, in when you are in the gestational period of having a child, you can curb any, you know, allergens or allergies or stuff like that. Tell you what, I'm definitely not allergic to cigarettes then.

I'm joking. My mom didn't smoke cigarettes. Was your mom ever a smoker? No, we joked around. Neither of my parents smoked like that. Definitely not my dad. But my mom, we were like, you ever smoke weed? And she's like, stop.

I'm like, oh, you weedhead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mom, I don't think my mom has ever, you ever like smoke weed? And she's like, stop. I'm like, oh, you weed head. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My mom, I don't think my mom has ever, she might have smoked weed. I don't think she's ever done anything outside of that. Don't ask me about my dad, still trying to figure all that out.

Yeah, your dad I've seen crush a whole bag of cigarettes. Oh, dude, I'm not even concerned about the cigarettes. Yeah. He's told me stories of like going out to clubs and like, dad, you must have done something. And he's like, no. I'm like, come on. Give me a little.

He always tells me like. Was he a dancer? He was a dancer. Was he? Yeah. Not like professionally. Oh, definitely not. I've seen my father move and I can tell you with certainty

he has no professionality. I don't think I've ever seen your dad swing his hips. Because he would be then in his mind, gay if he did that. But I'm saying like I've never seen him like dance. I've seen my dad do like Colombian dancing with, you know, with Beatrice, you know, like, dun, dun, dun. Oh, like a, yeah.

You know, but like. Oh yeah, a little this. I was like 16 when he did his, when I saw him dance for the first time. You know, it was later in life. I've never seen your dad dance. What the hell does your dad do? That's a great question.

I don't think I've ever seen. You don't have like old family videos or movies or? I remember when I was like 14, I told my dad, I don't know if I've ever seen you jump. Like, have you ever seen your dad jump? Yo, now that you say it. You know what I mean? No. Mad weird.

Have you ever seen your dad run? I've seen my dad move with haste, but definitely not running. I don't even know if I've seen my dad move with haste. I've seen him wake up violently. I will say that coming home late and he was sleeping on the couch and just woke up violently. Like I was robbing. I will say this. If I saw your dad move with any any haste any haste I Would be scared. Yeah, because minimal amount of haste is enough because like that's like Jerome Bettis Your dad is a dad is a thick guy. Yeah, you know and him like get out of his way Yeah, he's built like an armadillo. I wouldn't even say armadillo. I'd go a full army truck that he's built like a Humvee Yeah, he is. You know?

Like a bean bag standing up very hard. I remember, I think the quickest I've ever seen my dad move was when I was a kid and I was like throwing a tantrum. I remember this very clearly. I was throwing a tantrum and I said I was like, gonna run away. And my dad was standing, we had this like coffee table in front of the couch.

I'm gonna run away. And I was doing like the whole like, I'm gonna stand on this side of the coffee table Well, you're here and then like adjust you're running away from him. Yes, and I went to run toward the door and he widened his stance straddled the table and Like a fucking crab like a spider spider went and got me and grabbed me Wow, he's crazy, dude Like a spider went and got me and grabbed me. Wow. It was crazy, dude.

Dads move quickly. Dads move quickly when they need to. But I've never seen mine move quickly. I've seen him drive very fast on the way to high school. My dad used to sneeze like 15 times in a row when driving to school. The fastest thing about my dad was the force of which his sneezes came out.

The fastest thing about my dad is how quickly he could throw up. Like before you know it he's throwing up. Like he would just throw up a ton. Don't you have an uncle like that too? Who would throw up a lot? No, who would like get so grossed out from stuff and didn't your dad tell him that he crapped in the shower and mashed it into the drain?

Oh yeah, he was joking though. I know he was joking but like just to like get a reaction out of him. No, I think my dad is like, my dad pukes like, well he used to puke like crazy. Really? Just for no reason, but like stupid stuff. Like I remember one time we were cleaning out the garage and he was sweeping towards him,

so all the dirt would like hit his legs. Stupid, very stupid. And he'd be like, and then he started throwing up everywhere and I'm like, dad. And then you know, me and Thomas were dying laughing and he's getting mad at us. Of while throwing up made it even worse even funny Yeah, we had that little pool we had in our backyard. He was trying to do like a siphon with a hose Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the water is a swamp. It's green as fuck. Yeah shit growing out of it

Yes, and he goes and then like if you do that then it continues to like siphon all the water out. Wetness, mouth immediately starts throwing up everywhere. Oh God. Love a good death. I feel like, like, you know how like women describe the ick when men do some certain things or like their potential partners. I would immediately get the ick if I saw my dad throw up. Like you're not my dad anymore, bitch. Like who are you? Who's this mess? You've never seen your dad throw up. Like you're not my dad anymore, bitch. Like who are you? Who's this mess? You've never seen your dad throw up? I don't think so, no.

Wait, I've never seen my mom throw up. I've like heard that she has. I've heard that my mom has thrown up. I've never seen her. But it's like an urban legend. Yeah, exactly. Parents, you know they get sick, but you never see them in being sick.

That's weird. That's weird, right? I've definitely seen Keith throw up. I've seen- Shannon doesn't throw up. I've seen my brothers throw up. I've seen- Shannon doesn't throw up. I've seen my brothers throw up. I think I've seen my sister throw up once or twice, but she's not a big thrower-upper.

Yeah. And I've thrown up twice in the last 20 years, so. Did you break that streak recently? I did, yeah, last year. When was that? Oh yeah, that's right. After I got my vasectomy and they put me on narcotics for some reason.

Yeah. What do you mean, yeah? That's crazy. They cut your balls in half. Of course they're gonna give you some drugs. I did big do you mean yeah? That's crazy. They cut your balls in half. Of course they're gonna give you some drugs. I did a big throw up. I did a big throw up and I was very upset. How many?

How many? Like three throw ups. Oh, that's a big throw up. And I think afterward, I like, the most upset was, I was most upset because the streak was broken. Yeah, yeah. But honestly, two times in 20 years

is still pretty impressive. Yeah, I went on a streak of having like food poisoning like three years in a row. That was whack. That's crazy dude. Super whack. That is nuts. But not all those times did I throw up. Other times you threw up at your butt.

I had dia- I had cha-cha-cha. Yeah. Gyria cha-cha-cha. Yeah. Yeah. Dia-doodle as my mom says sometimes as well. She has a lot of names for it. Yeah. For some reason.

My dog had Diadoodle recently. What is going on? What is going on, dude? All right, anyway. Having a pet name for fucking diarrhea is. My mom was very nice and she was a lovely mom. How about is still very nice and is a lovely mom. You said was a lovely mom, was very nice.

She still is. Liz, you heard that? Get him, get him. But yeah, let's not forget that Frankie called Bridget gay in second grade bigot. Moving on. But listen, we just wanna thank all you guys for all your support and like today is the day.
