Welcome back to the basement. Welcome back to the basement yard. That's an old school sweater you got on. It is. We're sweater boys today. Look at us freezing. It is really cold. What is going on? I don't...

Not a big fan of this wind. Sends a chill down my spine. Listen, you've lived your whole life in New York City as someone that has spent a significant amount of time outside of New York State and New York City. Frank, we get the same weather basically. No, I will say with confidence, one of the first things I remember

about living in Connecticut when- Oh, Connecticut. College. I was thinking Jersey. I'm like, you're right here. I know, no, no, but even Jersey, like we don't get nearly as much wind. Like the wind up here is wild. Like I remember-

You don't get more wind? No, no. I mean- I would think you're closer to the water, right? Some, well, you're on the water. Yeah, that was dumb. No, like by the water, yes, there's a lot of wind, but I'm saying like the winters,

there's wind all the time up here in like a New York City winter is the wind smacks you in the mouth. By us, it's just a dry cold. And like, I remember the first time I like, Like a New York City winter is the wind smacks you in the mouth by us. It's just a dry cold. And like, I remember the first time I like, I like experienced a winter when I was living in college, my freshman year. I remember I go like this. I went like, I could see my, could be to be a dragon.

To be a dragon. You're pretending to be a dragon in the cold. Don't even pretend like it's still not cool. No, it's. I mean, I don't pretend I'm a dragon still. Oh. Okay. That's one of us, I guess.

And I watched the... What is it? Vapor? There it is. Leave my mouth and it stayed in the air. And I watched it float away. No, it didn't. Yo, I swear on my children.

Like a cloud? You created a cloud. No, I didn't create a cloud. I just watched it. Like, it, you created a cloud. No, I didn't create a cloud. I just watched it. It wasn't like a, and then gone. It was a, and then I watched it go. Then it was very-

Where was this, Connecticut? Cause it was cold? Yes. I think that has something to do with humidity or something. Probably has something to do with the density of the air. Barometers, things like that. Who? Barometers?

Wait, what is a barometer? That's pressure, isn't it? I don't know. I mean, yeah, pressure, density of the air, pressure has something to do with wind, so I guess we're kind of onto something. Yeah. You know what I thought about the other day,

it was super windy, and I was like, where does wind, what is wind? Wind. Do you know? I think so. So I know, well, I don't know if I can explain it. I think it's like, it's like differencing changes in pressure. Yeah, it is that.

Yeah, it's like changes in pressure. That's why when you walk in like Manhattan, if you walk around like a big building, you'll get hit with a wind, like a crosswind on an avenue really hard because the pressure is so intense Yeah, yeah, yeah But the air pressure My guess was like

This is gonna sound a little nuts Oh yeah, here we go Gravity? That was my guess And here's my thinking But the wind isn't I know But I'm, but I, because I was, I was thought, I was thinking about the ocean

So I'm like, was thinking about the ocean. So I'm like because the moon's gravity is moving the ocean that maybe the earth and moon's gravity is creating wind? I don't know. Maybe that's not wrong though because maybe that has something to do with the pressure. Gravity is pressure, no? I think because like the pressure like the stuff off of water, like you know, like aura off of the water. I don't know what you're saying. It's a little tough.

The aura of the water. I think that because like there's different air like temperatures that come off of the water and then different air temperatures above and they mix and they're like, yes. Does that make sense? I don't know, I don't know. I don't know if it makes sense.

It is kind of cool to imagine that it's just like, the wind is just like, you know? What does that mean? I hate wind. I tweeted this the other day and a lot of people agreed that it's like the worst weather. It is the worst weather. Wind.

I would rather rain. Oh, I love rain. But like rain with wind is maybe worse. Sideways rain stinks. Super stinks. It stinks on ice. It stinks on ice. It really does. Unless it's hot. Hot rain? Summer rain is great. Summer rain is... Rain showers. Those are just... Those are just rain. Oh yeah, no I meant sun showers. Sun showers are cool. Yeah. But like not as cool cool as just like just like it gets like really dark out and you're like what the it's 1 p.m You like that? Yeah, I think it's so cool. And then it just like what one of the like I Have a memory so vivid

Because it became yellow outside What are you talking about it was the day that I went to go see X-Men the Last Stand so I believe it was like vivid because it became yellow outside. What are you talking about? It was the day that I went to go see X-Men, the last stand. So I believe it was like 2006. And I remember I was at the movie theater in Astoria and I went outside and the weather was so bad that it looked yellow outside and it rained so hard, but then it'd be like instantly stopped and then you just get like stinky asphalt you know what I'm talking about?

yeah yeah I like that smell like love like rainy concrete rainy concrete I like that smell a lot yeah because it's still like hot when I was younger I used to be like oh like I thought it was like a fox like I could smell rain coming but it's like well no you can you can definitely smell rain well isn't that the smell of the asphalt? no that's like a thing that like cow no, you can. You can definitely smell rain. Well, isn't that the smell of the asphalt? No, that's like a thing that like cowboys used to do. Cowboys can smell rain coming. Oh, I thought that smell was just straight up like

wet concrete. No, no, no, there's like a smell to the humidity in the air and stuff like that. What could you possibly be Googling right now? Can you smell rain? You just said that you knew and now you're looking it up? I am looking up like what the actual thing is. Yes, you could smell rain and it's called petrichor.

It's an earthly smell that caused by a combination of water, ozone, geosmin, and plant oils. Oh, so it has nothing to do with concrete or asphalt for that matter. Yeah, it's just oils. Is what it is, I guess. Yeah, well. Uh, yeah, no, I didn't, I didn't know that you could,'t know that you could do that. I thought it was just the concrete that I was smelling neither here nor there Anyway, we do have a big announcement on this episode and that is

Oh, the accent. Yeah, so. Well, I can't do it, so you're good. Yeah, I mean, no, well, there have been times where you slip into one and you surprise us. I can get, for like four seconds, I can do like a. You'll surprise us with something, but we're excited, you know, it's gonna be a time.

What do they say out there? It's gonna be a what? Cheerio. No, see, that's why we don't. See, yeah, no. That's why we don't let you do stuff like that. But yeah, we're coming out there. I just went to Scotland.

Yes, but yeah So for those London and Dublin shows if they do well, maybe there's a second show And I think Zach has been everywhere too. I think I was driven everywhere now that I think about it

But on the 31st it'll be general sale, so you won't need a code or anything. So there you go, okay? Also, you know, before we talk about anything super silly on this episode, you know, we had to get that out of the way, but we wanted to issue an apology to people that we've offended. This is a long time ago that we, this is like over a year ago.

Over two, well almost two years ago. Almost two years ago, we did an episode of the podcast where we talked about these two girls, Carmen and Lupita, who are conjoined twins. and just to give you an idea of like the process it's like sometimes we just like go on websites we're looking for like headlines or whatever and trying to find something to talk about related to our lives and like do the show like that and we saw this headline about these two girls are conjoined twins and one of them has a boyfriend. So we're like, okay cool. We'll talk about that and I made a

just a stupid comment and I was like Just it's just dumb looking back on it It's embarrassing and I can only imagine how embarrassing it is for them but I was just like can we talk about these two girls who are conjoined at the pussy bone is what I said and then we were like talking about like, if me and Frank were conjoined twins, what that would be like. And we were talking about a part of their life

that is private and intimate to them. And we're definitely not the type of people. I think, I mean, it's weird because we sit in front of a camera and we talk and I think people are like, oh, I just feel like we're talking with you, but you know, we know who each other is. And I, and I hope that people have gotten to understand who we are, but like, we're not the type of people that are just going to be like, we made a joke.

It's comedy. Get over it. Like we are sensitive. We don't like at the end of the day, like we don't like upsetting people period. And the fact of the matter is we talked about something about two people who's live and like talked about something that had to do with something that was very private and intimate to them and something they've had to deal with and It upset them and we're sorry like yes, that's that's like we're not gonna sit here and be like, but it was no

That's it. Yeah, that's someone and I feel I feel really bad because you know, they're upset and rightfully so and Yeah, like so this happened a while ago it was May of 2023 because we just looked and When the episode came out, I'm not sure how long after that but I received a message and I saw it from one of them and I Was like that but I received a message and I saw it from one of them and I was like apologetic and I apologize. I'm like I'm so sorry and there is a tool on YouTube where you can just cut out a portion of an episode. So I cut it out just to be like you know I feel bad if this was embarrassing for you

I want to take it out of the episode so So I took it out. Um, not realizing that there's also the audio version of it that I didn't take it out of stupid thing. And the reason why this is coming up right now, um, is, I mean, admittedly, I forgot that this even happened. And then like 20 minutes ago, uh, I was tagged in a TikTok where she's talking about it and she's like, this is what they said and I'm listening to it. And I'm like, this is so bad. Like, this is like just dumb, like to make a comment like that and say, like,

you know, they're connected at the pussy bone or whatever. And like, I'm not trying to make a joke of it. Like I'm saying the thing now because I want people to know, like, that's what I said. And then we went on to speculate, like, Oh, if we were conjoined, like this is what we would do. And then, then we were speculating about like their arrangement because that's what the article was about was like, they like one of them is, and this is what the article says. I don't know if it's true. I've also learned after the fact that that article misquoted them or whatever it is So, you know with a grain of salt

That like one of them has a boyfriend and one of them doesn't so we were like thinking about like oh, how does that work? And along the way probably just like it's an uncomfortable thing to talk about Yeah, I'm just not even real I I guess at the time wasn't realizing what I did but like it's just it's stupid and I I feel really bad and like with the show, I mean if you guys watch the show week to week, we don't like to offend people. We're just trying to be silly and we're trying to just, you know, just I don't know, just try to make people happy and it sucks to sit here and be like, yeah you just did the fucking thing that like and so many people also on the internet are like, oh, these guys deserve microphones and everyone else is like a fucking asshole. They're unproblematic. And then to have this happen like, or that had happened before, it's like, now we just look like fucking idiots. You know what I mean? And I just feel really bad. and I just wanted to apologize to both Carmen and Lupita about

You know this stupid shit that we said we were just like in our minds just being silly or whatever But like, you know, obviously we said something that offended you looking back on it. I don't think it's fucking funny Didn't really add anything to the show or whatever. It's just stupid. It's just stupid. Yeah, and and I mean I There's really nothing much else that I can say or contribute, but you hit the nail on the head. Like, we just don't, like we're, and we're both very sensitive to this. We're like, I think we are always trying to make sure

that we are just not upsetting people and just hearing from someone saying like, hey, that is me. I am that person. Like, it's just like, Oh man. And you went on and on for fucking 20 minutes. And again, it's about a part of their life. Like I'm sure they've had to deal with ridicule from other people as well. And like to be a part of that is something that is upsetting.

We up, there's no, like, we're not going to sit here and just be like, that was then this is no, it was wrong. You know, we fucked up and I'm not like minimizing it and calling it anything other than just sad and kind of gross and yeah we Carmen and Lupita we apologize and and I sent them a message on TikTok but I've never I didn't I've never messaged anyone TikTok, but I went to their page and I messaged them. I think it's a shared account and they haven't read it yet, but I sent them a message, basically apologizing, letting them know that we're gonna be apologizing

on the episode. But yeah, man, and I, you know, I don't want anyone in the comments, like trying to like defend or be like, oh, it wasn't even that bad or whatever the fuck, like, bro, that's not what we're trying even that bad or whatever the fuck like, bro, that's not what we're trying to do. Like at the end of the day, if someone's really upset

by something that we said about them, like we're fucking, we're sorry. And like, it's idiotic. We don't have to do that. Like we try to avoid that at all costs. And like, that was just a dumb thing. And you know, I'm not, like, I think that we would never do that, especially now, like with the, you know I'm not like I think that we would never do that especially now like with the you know

growth over the last however long like Do feel a very big sense of responsibility to make sure people know that like we we aren't trying to be bad dudes We realize there's a lot of people out there that just want to be offensive and want to hurt people's feelings And it's like well whatever sometimes you have to ruffle like we're not trying to do that we're just trying to make people laugh and just be silly and shit and we feel really bad and Like that's it. I just yeah, we're super sorry and Like if there's anything we do and I wrote that in the message to them about like we're gonna apologize I took the things down so that you don't have to

Like deal with people listening to that or whatever, but whatever you want us to do I will do For the most part like just let us know if you need anything else, like we're sorry and yeah. Yeah, that's it. I'm perfectly well said and... Did you bite your lip by the way over there? No, I didn't. I didn't bite my lip.

I got into a bar brawl. I was out and someone bumped into Becca and I said like, hey,'t bite my lip. I got into a bar brawl. I was out and someone bumped into Becca and I said like, hey, get outta here. You picked your lip. No, I didn't pick my lip. It was a very serious thing that happened to my lip, to my mouth. What happened to you?

It got, I got, all right, I got headbutt by Ruby. But it like. Your daughter headbutted you in the face. Yeah, I mean. Go like this. I mean, you didn't have to do that Yeah, it actually looks Not too bad, but I noticed you like doing that. Well, that's why well what you're doing. You're chewing on your lip

I'm not chewing on my lip. Mm-hmm You remember I remember hearing about like I knew kids in like middle school or like high school like growing up That'd be like they would chew on the side of their mouth Maybe like that that I've done that that seems miserable. You're not actually chewing you're kind of gnawing What's the difference between a chew and a gnaw? Chewing is like you're trying to bite through gnawing is kind of like you're just like I would say the opposite I say chewing is just like kind of just like... You ever play with a dog and it's like...

I've played with several dogs. And they bite your hands but they're not biting your hands, you know what I mean? But that's a little like... Teething? La la la. You know, like it's a little like... I'm just gonna give you a little love bite. So then what is gnawing?

I think gnawing has like a... Like a... It feels powerful and emotional. No, like mice gnaw. But mice gnaw because they're pathetic little losers. I'm saying like if we're looking at like when you gnaw on something it's because you're hungry like oh my god I was so hungry I gnawed on that hot dog. Like the minute I got that popsicle I gnawed on it. I don't think anyone says it like that.

I think so. Chewing is a scientific thing. We have to chew in order to swallow. Gnawing like there's some power and emotion behind it No, I think gnawing is like a dull like no no no do we Google this and find it out or? Especially because I know how to spell it like put it like this Like a like a like a herbivore would would would chew eradicate would gnaw I Gotta be honest with you.

Okay, it's- Radicate, right? No, the answer, the definition is not a Pokemon, Frank. No, gnaw is, by the way, I had no idea that gnawing had a- It's G. No, no, no, I knew that. I'm saying like I didn't know it had a different definition. It also means persistently worrying.

Oh, like I'm gnawing over you? Yeah, that, oh, the gnawing pain in your stomach. It's like never heard of that. No, that was the example they gave. I love how you gave that like, I know that one. Like, oh yeah, of course, like the gnawing pain. You've never heard that? No, no, no, I've heard of gnawing pain before.

I've never heard of gnawing pain. But it says to nibble, to nibble persistently. Oh, so it is. So you're right. So then, ragtatta. I don't know why everything has to be Pokemon with you. Because everything has to be Pokemon. By the way, downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game on my phone.

It has been on. I've been sending motherfuckers to the Shadow Realm. Wait, you downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game? Yeah. Like you paid no no i didn't you bought a blue eyes why it's a it's a free game no when you start the game they're like you get to pick from three decks i saw like oh it was like balance deck defense deck dragon deck i took that dragon deck so fucking quick defense deck who the hell who's that you know but boy oh boy that dragon deck so fucking quick. Yeah, defense deck. Who the hell? Who's that?

You know, but boy oh boy, that dragon deck. Did it have a blue eyes white dragon? Oh, did it. Absolutely it had a blue eyes white dragon in there. And I throw that son of a bitch down and I started watching the show again. What? What's so funny about that? You started watching Yu-Gi-Oh again.

I mean, dude, when's the last time you watched that show? 2002? 2006. How old was I? Too old. Yeah, probably too old. 2002. There we go. Yeah, that's what it was. First episode, my guy pulls out Exodia. Stop.

Yeah, dude, against fucking Kaiba. I don't remember who that is Kaiba who's the guy with the cool hat that has like it's like pink and white it's like triangular Oh Pegasus he's the bad guy the guy with the eye no who's the main guy Yugi oh so that's what I'm thinking of Yugi wait the main character in Yu-Gi-Oh! his name is Yu-Gi? Yeah. So what's Yu-Gi-Oh! I mean when he's in trouble. Yu-Gi-Oh! Yeah, okay, I don't.

That's... So the cards are called Yu-Gi-Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's Yu-Gi. Yeah. It's not that hard to understand, Joey. I mean, it doesn't make sense. Pokemon is not a guy.

My guy Kaiba pulls out three blue eyes. That would be like Ash being Pokey. Okay, so but Pokey stands for pocket monsters I didn't know that. You didn't know that? No. You didn't know Pokemon was short for pocket monsters? No Where have you been for the last 25 years? It's not in the song. Why would I know that? Yes it is Joey I want to be the very, like no one ever was. Why don't you just get to the part that says Pokemonsters? You don't, it's hard, like you can't, you're gonna tell me you could start a song

in the middle and know it? I mean, what is it, so what is the lyric? The lyric is, to get these pocket monsters within my grasp. Is that true? To get these pocket monsters within my grasp uh is that true? to get these pocket monsters within my grasp in the ball that I will clasp

Pokemon Frank you made that up I had ya they don't say pokey to get these pocket monsters within my grasp with this ball that I clasp Pokemon honestly that kind of fits in really well. Yeah. You don't think so?

No. Why not? I mean, I don't know. We have proven I'm a lyrical genius before. And this is just another- Proving is a little- Another notch in the belt, so to say. I do wish like Pokemon was I guess Pokemon is just hunting it's way not hunting it's less violent yeah and you can't use your hunted animals to battle other hunted animals imagine it was real though like you threw a ball I thought about it so often Joey so often Did you ever have a fake pokeball and just throw it at everything there was so you know at the lake house? where

My doc is there's that big rock next to my doc in the water yeah, yeah there used to be well I think there is now but before there was the like its current incarnation there was a like a post that stuck out of the rock. Someone had put it there in order for like passerbys to not drive up over it because it's a huge rock. Okay. And I would go up and I would when I was like playing by myself as a kid, I'd go up there and I'd go like, and I released the Pokemon into the wild.

I don't even understand what that means though. the Pokemon into the wild. I don't even understand what that means though. I release Pokemon into the wild and then I would go and I would like. Why this? Why that? Just to like get them out cause there's so much energy. Right, but what are you,

where are you releasing them from? The post. Oh, they were in the post. They were stuck in the ground. Oh. So the post was just like a... FWAH! Got it. You know?

Okay. And then I'd be like, Oh my god, look up, there's Pharaoh and Pidgeot. Pfft! I hated Pharaoh. Everyone hated Pharaoh, dude. No one liked Pharaoh. Pidgeotto? My guy.

You know who was a good bird? Pfft! My birds? Marty and Molly? No, fuck those birds. Scarmory. It was a good bird? Pfft. My birds? Marty and Molly? Nah, fuck those birds. Skarmory. It was a metal It was like a metal looking pharaoh. That's not an original. It's a second generation. You're missing out! There were some really cool

Pokemon past your generation. Who was like the big one of the second gen? Lugia and Ho-Oh. And then there were the legendary dogs. Raikou, Enti and Suicune Sweet Suicune Suicune had a little Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking about. You had a crush on her him then It was a poke. What was it a dog? It was a dog a legendary dog

I don't I did like nine tails and arcane nine crazy Nine tails the bulb. I mean vol picks was cute too, but Nine Tails definitely had it going on. Yeah, it did. You know? Eevee, you know I'm an Eevee guy. I know. And then you went from Eevee to, I know you like Jolteon,

but like I could see you being a little horror for Flareon. Pfft. You know what I'm saying. By the way, I mean, we're not gonna spend too much time on Pokemon, but like, to start, who you taking? That's a very easy one.

Which one? Charmander. Thank you. Yeah. Duh. Duh, duh, duh. Anyone you meet who's like Bulbasaur I'd be like alright bro. Bulbasaur is my least favorite of the three I think but it's Charmander by far.

Wait, do you have Pikachu as well? So in the original versions of the game red and the Japanese version was green but then there was blue in the US. of the game, red and the Japanese version was green, but then there was blue in the US. Remember it was red and blue version. Yeah. It was just those three starters. And then remember your rival, which I always named Gary, you probably named him something cool like ass or rocket. Ass. Ass. Uh, they would pick the one that was always in opposition, so if you took Charmander, they

took Squirtle. Oh, that's what you mean. I would always make their name a curse word by the way. Yeah, balls. Yeah, like penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Penis picks Bulbasaur. Oh no, you've beat Penis!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then they released Pokemon Yellow version, which you start the game and you can't take any of them, but you're just gifted a Pikachu, and the Pikachu like walks around with you. I had that one. And then you can get through like trading, you can get Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur elsewhere.

Got it. But you know what game, where's your Nintendo Switch? In a closet? You fuck. Yeah How often do you play Nintendo Switch? Answer me. I mean I go between the three consoles but like

there's a there's a Pokemon game on there. Hey you Pikachu or hey you Eevee and it's fucking bananas. Like I'm talking like you can like go through the Viridian forest riding a Charizard Yeah, that sounds cool. Yeah, I remember you know, it's funny the game Pokemon snap Stupid idea for a game, but so good. Mmm, like you're just gonna take pictures of Pokemon Yo, I love that first game and then they came out with another one a couple years ago, great game.

Like a lot of fun. And you still just take photos of Pokemon? Yeah. There's nothing else you do? No. You just take photos. I mean like they added like a story to it, like they need like 10 pictures of Pokemon eating

in order to like research how they eat and you get this special flute. And it's like why? It's cool though, it's cool to see Pokemon. Like I agree. You're bugging eat and you get this special flute. And it's like why? It's cool though, it's cool to see Pokemon. Like I agree. You're bugging out if you don't like it. I know I did like it. You better.

I would, oh it, I would go up the block to this kid's house and he had it on N64 which I never had. Who? Danny. Do you know who I'm talking about? I know exactly what Danny you're fucking talking about, bitch. Your sister's friend.

Weren't they friends? I mean they hung out with the same crowd sometimes. But yeah, that's what I did. Man that first, when you were playing the game, the volcano level, and you could find, you know, like you would hit the Charmeleon into the volcano and then he came out as a Charizard, fucked your butt. And then when you broke open the egg and Moltres was there, what about Zapdos, dude? That's my favorite Pokemon.

I would, I haven't played that game that much. I just played it when I was out of town sometimes. You know what? The Nintendo Switch 2 actually was just announced. You need to get back into video games, but not like cool shoot- get back into video games, but like not like cool shoot them up video games, like I'm gonna, or like Madden, do. Like you need to get into like video games

And that's a lot of video games you missed out on as a kid, cause you didn't have a Nintendo 64, you didn't have a GameCube, you didn't have a Super Nintendo. There are so many video games, Joey, that you just have never played. So I need to be- Besides Mario Kart and Mario Party and Super Smash Brothers, have you ever played a Mario game?

Uh, no. Bingo. So you need me to get a game that makes me feel like at home and nostalgic and like as I was a kid. Yes. Or I can continue going to therapy. And we do have sponsors for today as well. That was good. Okay, this podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

We'll see you over there. What was that? I wanna just go back to, forget about your comment about me needing therapy. You feel no, like there's no part of you that wants- Therapy, Pokemon Snap. I mean, but like, be honest with yourself for a second. When I think of Pokemon Snap, here's what I think about.

Being in that kid's room, and he had a giant lifelike doll That was dressed as sting and I would do wrestling moves to it So that was cool So maybe I didn't play a lot of Pokemon snap because he would play Pokemon snap and I'd be a wrestler in this thing Gotcha. Okay, but hear me out yeah, if you had the opportunity right now to put something on and go out there and find and catch a Zapdos, you're not all about it.

Do I have a master ball? Of course you have a master ball. Ultra ball. But you don't want to use a master ball on a Zapdos. You want to keep that for Mewtwo, which you can only get in the end game after you beat the Elite Four. And your rival, who you aptly name probably Penis. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Ass. That was so funny, because that was definitely one of them. Well I remember, so it's weird that this came up because we were just talking about this,

but there was a guy that we knew at our after school program that was a firefighter and lost his life on 9-11. I'm not going gonna say his name. You know who I'm talking about though. Of course. He played Pokemon and he showed me his lineup and all of his Pokemon were named after wrestlers. So like his Squirtle was named Road Dog.

And like his Pikachu was Mr. Ass. So like people did that. Yeah. Mr. Ass shocked you yeah exactly but dude just just just why not what do you have to lose no I mean I mean I just don't know when I'm gonna be compelled to play Pokemon I will sit you down I will give you your favorite drinks and your favorite snacks Frank I'm not your daughter's I know you like oh I'll give you this in a little plastic cup. Here you go.

You got your pretzel rods. I like to treat you like my child sometimes because there are parts of life that you don't realize are beautiful and fun and happy and how much do you how much shut up, shut up, shut up. How much I'm going on a tangent here. How much do you want me to experience love and happiness and joy? On your time with you. Yeah, but also I saying like, even if we are not able to do it together, you want me to experience life and happiness and joy, right? I want you.

And it's just my way of doing that for you is to give you a box of hot tamales and let you go and catch some Nidorans. That was some wild gaslighting that you did right now. And I'm actually impressed by that I'm glad that everyone saw that but it's like you want me to be happy, right? So do the thing that I want is gonna make me happy you want that because you're a good person Well, you are a good person and you want me to and I want you to go find the Pokemon you said Nidoran The work not worse than what's the one that hardens? Metapod or

Kakuna. I liked Kakuna actually. Because it went to Beedrill. No because it looked like a ninja kind of. It did. It had like ninja like eyes kind of. Anyway can we stop talking about Pokemon? No. We're gonna talk to something that's similar, but not. Apparently on January 25th, all of the planets in the solar system will align to make a cool view of the sky. So that was the headline that we saw. Here's one thing that I do wanna say.

Before I begin, I don't know if this is something that happens all the time. It feels like it doesn't. It feels like it shouldn't. It feels like it shouldn't. Yeah. So it shouldn't. It feels like it shouldn't. Yeah. So that's my point. If they're going to align, then what? Do the volcanoes erupt? You know what I'm saying? I think first of all- Gravity reverses. First of all, I've been watching a lot of Hercules lately, so I know- What? What was that look? Is that a TV show? You've seen Hercules,

brother. The movie? Yeah. Oh yeah. Who put the glad in Gladiator? Yeah seen Hercules, brother. The movie? Yeah! Oh, yeah. Who puts the glad in gladiator? Yeah. Hercules, you know? Yes. Okay. Um, I can go the distance? What?

Get to your point. No! I mean, there's so many others. I've seen the movie! I said yes! But there are good songs in there. Yeah. You know?

Stop naming songs. Okay, all right. Um, what's the one that Danny DeVito sings? So you'd wanna be a something kid, whoop-de-doo. Alright, I gotta keep going. Right. But I'm pretty sure that's when the Hades opens up, or the underworld,

and then the Titans come out, right? I don't know. I don't know that it's a good thing if the planets are aligning, you know what I mean? Are you more excited to see one planet, or like what? Like what planet? I don't think we're's a good thing if the planets are aligning. You know what I mean? Are you more excited to see one planet or like what? I don't think we're gonna see any bro. No, I think you could definitely see planets, bro. Look at my eyes. Neil deGrasse Tyson always comes out and he goes,

Look to the western sky, and upon three clicks from, you know, pure midnight, which are all words we didn't know existed, you will see Mercury. You know, like he which are all words. We didn't know existed you will see Mercury, you know like he says shit like that. Yeah, but unless I have like an actual Telescope we have a telescope you can get one. They're not that expensive. Yeah, but you would need like a sick one I'm not gonna go to like Party City and get a like a hoi-mati No, we have like one on a tripod that has like a big fat butt. Oh.

And you like look through it and stuff like that. Damn, you have a thermometer. You have a telescope like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it expensive? We got it for miles one year for birthday. Yeah. But it wasn't like too expensive.

You can get like insane ones. Like we're not fucking counting the crows. Yeah, we're not't like too expensive. You can get like insane ones. Like we're not fucking. Yeah, we're not counting the Craters on moon. Right, yeah. You know? You know when they say that if you look into like the Hubble telescope or something like that, like if you look, whatever you could see technically

into the past, what? Yeah, dude, yes, yes, they are correct. I've. So what? It fucks me up, it fucks me up. Do you understand that because by the time? Yeah, yeah like like So say all right, all right, so say we look up into the sky and we see a star right here Yeah, that stars been there that star was there a long time ago because the amount of time it takes for the light to reach us

Right. It's now over here. Right. Yeah, you know and it's just bananas. But if I'm looking at a Telescope telescope you're seeing the light. That's what you're seeing Telescopes, you know, we see into the future. No like that's a raven You know, I mean, yeah mean? When you gaze into the future Future You might think life would be a breeze Life is a breeze There is trouble from a distance, yeah

Go Ray But it's not something insane Remember that? I do Yeah, no, it freaks me out But they're supposed to align This is dangerous Bro, I'm shocked my father hasn't texted me about this. Oh being like yo stay inside stay inside. Don't look up Yeah, you know don't look don't look up, bro. Have you did you watch that movie? Don't look up I watched some of it, and I didn't like it. I turned it off. You got scared a little bit

I don't know. I just like boring. It's just not acted well Yeah, no, it's like definitely freaky and makes you think and it's like yo if this were to happen what the fuck can we possibly Nothing. Nothing. We can just hold our loved ones and Hold our loved ones, which is what yeah that ends up happening spoiler, but I'm surprised my dad didn't hit me up about this and like cuz he loves end of the world shit He like he has a top five list of ways to go

Tsunami I think is like one. That's one of the worst ways I would imagine he oh no, sorry nuts No, no tsunami tsunami is number one like deep impact remember that movie Yeah, wave comes just kills that couple who's just like hugging on the beach He's like oh He might be just standing. Oh, I think he just wants someone to hug. I don't think he cares about the way He's he's inviting death. He has been on record saying that he wants to be on the beach doing this Do you know I mean you probably know this because you were in my house growing up Whenever it was a thunderstorm he would stand at the back window and watch thunder.

And he would just be like- I do that too. I can't lie. I do that. And then thunder happens and he goes, oh. Yeah, dude. There's something- He loves lightning.

I love, I love, first of all- You love lightning? He's looking at lightning, not thunder. Thunder is, you know- Yes, it's the sound. It's the sound or the gyration of this, of this over here, you know, these hips. Of the thighs, yeah. Of my thunder no

it's like a I I don't know if it's like a dad thing or what but like any time it storms like bad me Becca and the kids sit in front of the window and we watch the lightning because it's so cool to see because you're just looking and then you just see like you know like the lightning just like kind of crack up I do like that you know and then I'm the one that's just like all right start counting one Mississippi two Mississippi it's four miles away you know. That's funny is that true though? I don't know but I will say this I have you ever like has has lightning struck where you are like within like close proximity? Um, yeah, I think so. Yo, I have never felt something like that in my entire life.

You've been lightninged? I've not been lightninged, but I've been in the house in Astoria and lightning hit in the alleyway. Oh, I remember, wait, when was that? There was one time, oh no, it was recent. It was when my last apartment in Astoria, there was a day it woke me up out of sleep.

And it was so loud. And then I was like, yo, what was that? And everyone like everywhere was talking about that. And it ended up being this thing where, I think it was like low cloud cover and then with certain whatever it just like trapped the sound of the thunder in a specific area and it was so loud dude I thought my building was going you felt in your jellies didn't

you dude it was it scared the shit out of it well I didn't even think it was lightning it woke you up legitimately yeah it was like bang and I was like oh my god sounds fun that sounds really fun no it was like bang and I was like oh my god what was that sounds fun that sounds really fun oh it was so scary there's nothing wrong with that it's I mean if the planets align that that shit might happen they might throw a hyper beam from the moon I think you can only see it in India really yeah man celestial which I love that word spectacle awaits sky watchers in India on January 25th wait why is that the case?

I guess because of where they'll be and the time of the day. Aw man. Yeah, they have all this. I wanted to go to India for several reasons. That's, I guess, another one. But not now. It's not gonna happen for another.

When's this gonna happen again? I don't know. When do the planets line up? It says it's a rare celestial event. I love when people do that where they're just like, this is the last blood moon in 700 years, and it's like, we just had one last week. Also, what is a blood moon? Is it just when it turns orange?

Maybe. I think it has something to do with, like, when it happens. Like, there's like, they gave names to moons based off of like, planets. What? Uh oh, here we go. Shut the fuck up wait planets align January 25th I just want to make sure that we're bro how often do these planets align the ones that are aligning on the 25th from India, how often do they align? I mean, you think about they all have different rotations around the sun.

So... You're pissing me off. I mean, I'm using logic. This is the one time. You're not gonna get it. But the one time, Joey, that I try to use logic to come to an answer. Instead of sitting there,

and by the way, I don't think I didn't see your tweet, bitch. I don't think I didn't see your tweet, I don't think I didn't see your tweet bitch We know all people get followers and now everyone knows their opinions. Yeah, I use that about me bitch Frank You ever hear that song you're so vain you probably think this tweet is about you. It's not about you you dumbass God he got me good folks All right, let's say once every hundred years I'm confused by this oh no no no wait how many planets are there eight because they don't they don't acknowledge Pluto anymore my very

educated mother just served us nine pickles. No, but they don't acknowledge Pluto anymore So there's a just nine. So a celestial speck the spectacle awaits sky watchers in India on January 20 25th January 25 As seven planets of Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus and Mercury aligned in a breathtaking art. Wait, what happened? Mercury I guess and earth are not involved in that what the hell they're leaving us out but then that would be nine no it would be eight brother but they're saying as seven planets Venus Mars Jupiter oh mercury oh so everyone's included but us what the fuck we're not included in that all right that's fucked up all right bet why would we not be galactic council no problem that's fucked up. All right bet. Why would we not be a lactic council? No problem

That's fucked, but I googled it I was like what are the frequency I didn't write this The frequency of planetary alignments depend on how many planets are involved and how closely they are aligned one every hundred years So it's confusing because it says six or more planets Six or more planets aligned within a small area of the sky about every 100 years which is what you said Oh look at that! Whoa wow I use logic and I get the answer But then it says all seven planets all seven planets align once in about 22 billion years I mean that's why it's not

Excuse me? That's why it's not happening right now man What? Our planet isn't aligning with us right now It says all seven why does it say all seven align once? But like this says seven. I guess because you can't see Mercury aligning too. Because we're looking that way?

We're looking that way. Mercury is over there like, what's up? And then the others are over there. Wait, what's the first planet? Mercury. Yeah. Yeah, that's included in this. And then it's wait over there first planet Mercury yeah, yeah close that's included in this and then it's Venus No, we're the third rock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby so Mercury and Venus and all the other planets except us

Venus is included too. Yes. What the fuck Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus and Mercury What the fuck? Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Mercury. Just not us. By the way, I heard one time on a, like a one of those sci-fi shows where they do like interviews with like scientists who would tell you like, we're gonna be dead in a year or whatever. And he pronounced it Uranus.

That's how it is pronounced. It's not Uranus, it's Uranus. Really? Cause it's based off of like, I think it's like the Roman god. All the planets are named after gods. Mars is the god of war. Venus.

Is the god of war for real? Yeah, Neptune was the god of the sea. Yeah, I remember that one. I guess not Earth. We're just like, we're just our own thing. Venus is the god of love. I don't know. Saturn is the god of... I think Uranus is like the god of gods or something like that. Or Janus, which is Jupiter? Saturn is the Roman god

of agriculture, harvest, abundance, and time. Jupiter, no. Uranus is the god of sky and heavens. Yeah, crazy. And then who's the other one you said? Saturn? Venus is like love. Love, beauty? Love, beauty, fertility, sex, prosperity, victory. There's something there is that planet got something going on there. Yeah, dude, there's probably like crazy stuff going on. I mean there's nothing going on because of- We don't know that.

We can with confidence probably say it's not. With confidence probably, but we don't know. Maybe the aliens have like a thing that they're doing over there. I mean they're very close to the sun. I know. They're like really close. Did you ask me this? Like what movie you would rather, oh yeah you did.

It was like Harry Potter or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yo, thinking about being like in a Star Wars movie and being able to travel to other planets like how many years of intergalactic travel would have to exist before you're like alright fine I'll do it. What do you mean? Oh, like, it's been well established for this many years. So like, you know, the way that flying is right now where it's like, you're not like the plane's not going down. I'll do you one better. If I was 85.

Yeah. And intergalactic travel has been out for a while. And I'm not doing so hot, okay? You're gonna do it? It looks like I'm not gonna make it another year or two. And they're like, yo, we have the cure for it. You'll live another 20 years, but it's on Mars. I'd be like, all right, might as well.

Might as well. It'll take us, you know, at that time, maybe it'll take us like two years to get there instead of five, you know. Wait, does it only take five years to get there? To Mars? I believe it does. You didn't see the Martian, dude?

I did, but I was like in and out. How long does it take to get to Mars? Seven or eight months. All right the movie was wrong then not me forgive me for putting my faith in a movie right yeah movies are your Bible all right I'm gonna expand on that but we have some some sponsors okay we do have Harry's Harry's razors okay even if you got a face for podcasts hello you better believe you deserve the best shave okay I've had Harry's razors one thing I will say about this company, obviously they have really good razors, okay?

And for you sir Thinking about the space travel Let's say mm-hmm today mm-hmm they like send people to Any of the planets and it's it takes four days to get there and four days to get back. Let's just say that, right?

And you can go to any planet, maybe add a day if it's past Jupiter or something, all right? But they start doing it today, no problems. When? Like when, like people start living there. You know what I mean? And like, is there a point in like 10 years where you're like, I'm gonna go visit Neptune.

No. My cousin lives there. No. No? No. Cause you don't want to get in a rocket? Yeah. Yeah. Bro, I get freaked out getting on planes. I can imagine looking out the window. Bro, You look out the way like I get in a plane and Like I'm like, you know the mentality we've spoken openly about the mentality. I have to put myself in

You know, but there's even even and I know this is stupid so do you please don't dogpile on top of me Okay, but like Even in a plane I have a thought of like, but you know what, I can land on earth and like by some miracle make it. If a plane were to, I know it's stupid. I know it's stupid. No, no, no, I'm asking

because I don't really know what you're saying. You're saying like, if the plane was going down, you'd jump out? I don't know what I would do, but there is in my toxic head. You're my, in my toxic head, I will figure out a way to live. Okay. You know, whether it's like, Oh, I land and I just like jump and aim and I hit a pool

or something. Right. There is, but like there is a part of me that has convinced myself that that is, you could do it with space. Yeah. There is nothing, dude. Yeah Yeah, nothing because here's the thing Something goes wrong up there Right. Don't do it. Like there's no can't pull over you can't pull over you can't like I'll just

Put a backpack on and with a with a parachute and go back to earth because everyone would need helmets What are the helmets gonna do? They'll just turn your it'll be a layer of charred plastic over your head. No, we'd all have to wear spacesuits. Joey, I don't care what we're wearing. We could be wearing solid gold diapers. It's not going to make me want to go. No, as I am a terrestrial being and for the rest of my foreseeable life, I will live the rest of my life being here on this planet. If they start putting people on Mars,

good. My, let, let my, my ancestors deal with that. What if you know how they did that space thing which I don't even I don't even know if that was real enough but like you can get in like a spaceship kind of and like you see outer space but you just come right back no no but what if it's been going on for like ten years and there's never been an issue what do you get out of asking me these questions you know I don't like it. I know. All right. All right, Joe. All right, Joe. Yeah. If they have perfected going into the hollow earth, but you need to go through the Marianas trench. Oh my God. And you could see everything, all the crazy stuff in the hollow earth. That would be better. Are you kidding me? You have, but you have

to, it takes four days to get through the Marianas Trench Okay, but am I am I in danger? I mean you're in a submarine same question Like if same answer, okay If they like everyone does it like the animals that has been done it has been done for five years Five we have ten years. Okay, we have put people no, no. Ten years. Okay. We have put people through the Marianas Trench. Right. Your turn.

Right. Money where your mouth is. Let's see your mouth, pretty boy. I think... Don't say that. Um, I think I would. Crazy. Bro, imagine going down there and like the lights are all on.

No. I don't know how we're illuminating. No, no, no. But like, it's like, all right for like eight hours a day We have to shut all the lights off because you need to like and you need to feel what it would be like to sleep and There's windows Well, I would want the windows. I like it better if I could see you know, but down there you can't see anything, right?

So it's just dark. Yeah until it isn't What does that mean some flies by your window oh well I would be more interested in and then you hear this what am I what am I gonna be scared by that oh someone's knocking a robber bro I'm worried about giant fucking like yeah I'm cracking being down I'm saying you're down there in a solo pod now I'm alone yeah bitch you put me in this situation where you need you know I'm not going to space you know I'm not unless you like nothing with a check and he was just like you know so money would

motivate you to go yeah yes it would Joey but I would need to pick the amount I saw a great question on the internet And I think it was a podcast so I'm going to steal this and I I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the podcast, but whoever you are a great job good question It may have been someone. I don't know There's a thousand grapes Right I'm looking at him. You have a thousand grapes. Yeah, every grape you eat is $50,000 but one of those poisonous isn't gonna kill Yeah, every grape you eat is $50,000

But one of those poisonous isn't gonna kill you. How many do you eat? You a Thousand grapes just a thousand grapes 50 one in a thousand fifty thousand dollars each grape. Um, I Would whoo, man, that's tough. I would say, I would say at least a hundred grapes. Frankie, that is insane. Yeah. One of every 10.

Frank, you need a hundred grapes. I would take those chances. You won't go to space because you're afraid of that. I'm guaranteeing death. All right. But if I get to grape 99 and then I die at grape 100, does my family still get all the money? Because I'll die for that.

Okay, so you'll go down like that. I'll go down, if it's like all this money is going to my kids, it's like I'm getting the money and if I die on the hundredth grape, they still get the other 99 grapes of money. Okay, the 99 grapes of money. Then I'm fine'm fine with it okay how many do you think you're eating realistically now and put and be put big big big remember that sweet money mouth of yours close that shit and just think as if you were a normal

person yeah I I don't think that I would eat any I'd be too afraid oh I'd have to eat at least five I would get in my I'd be too afraid. Oh, I'd have to eat at least five. I would get in my head and be like, I'd be like, oh, what? Sorry, Charlie. That's what I mean, bro. Eating a hundred, first of all, eating a hundred grapes itself is fucking crazy.

Nah, you can eat a hundred grapes. A hundred grapes? Yeah. You're underestimating how many grapes that is. No, I think like a big, like a regular bundle of grapes is a hundred grapes. You're gonna sit there and eat an entire thing of grapes? I like grapes. That's crazy. Do I get to pick the type of grapes? Sure

Doesn't make them less poisonous black seedless grapes. Oh my goodness Imagine picking real crunchy bitches too. Like I bite into them and it's like Imagine the first grape you take yeah, that'd be upsetting But like first one's a prank though. Yeah. Oh shit. He took the poison one now keep going no no first one You like you you go. Oh, oh This would be a good Santa Gada Studios video bitch. Oh, so I'll poison one. I'll put no no no no no no no no no but you can like You can like somehow

One grape tastes like throw up like one grape- or like just put like something in the grape. And they'll be like, oh wait something's in this one. And you can say like, yo like a hundred- like every grape you eat is a dollar. We're getting into Mr. Beast territory right now. I think- I mean listen man, we got the new studio, we need to fill it up somehow. Each grape you eat is twenty bucks. Each grape you eat is a- no. Do a hundred grapes per person. Each grape you eat is a- no, do a hundred grapes per person, each grape you eat is a dollar.

Yeah, I'm not asking you to ball out, you know, but like- Yeah, but I'm saying like, I mean if it's gonna be like a MrBeast video, it has to be like, well we're gonna, I don't know, some crazy shit. Yeah, each grape is a million dollars! In this grape is a million dollars, and if you eat it, I'm gonna shoot this person in the back of the head Yeah, if you eat the wrong one someone is going to kill you with a bat. Yeah Hmm what if this right we blindfold three of you and

I put grapes in front of you guys. Yeah, baby It's like You're all kind of in it together right so like and that's the pot why are we doing this on the episode? I mean people want to see the creative process Get done. This is wonder if it will happen though Probably not but like you get like a plate of grapes, right mostly red but there's like so let's say you get 50 grapes, mm-hmm and Eight of them are green grapes

Right. Okay. I'm gonna ignore the fact you said green grapes Go ahead grapes. Yeah, so green and red So, you know what I mean? So those would be the poisonous ones and there's three of them. So everyone gets 50 and each one is 20 bucks that you eat. But if any of you eat a green one, you lose all the money. I think it'd be a really fun video. So it'd be like, yo, you ate it and it's kind of, or even, or like this, you eat it and maybe you don't even, well, I know that's stupid, nevermind. I was gonna say, you don't know if you lost or not yet. Until the end of the video.

Yeah. I think, yeah, I would say if it's a thousand grapes. That's way too much money, what am I saying? Yeah, that's why I said a dollar a grape. Oh no, 150 times 20, what is that? 1,000, 150 times two, so 2,300. What'd you say again? I don't know, now I'm confused.

You said 150 times 20? 150 times 20. Yeah, oh, 3,000, oops. Oh, so then we'll like double that or something. Oh, you're just. 50 bucks, 50 bucks a grape. It has to be high stakes. You guys have to like feel like,

yo, we have enough money right now, let's just call it quits before we fuck this up. But it would be per person or like the collective? No, like collectively. So you guys can make like a couple thousand dollars in this video if you like play it right. Damn, that's crazy. That'd be a cool video. That would be. Yo, we gotta do that, like a couple thousand dollars in this video if you like play it right. Damn, that's crazy. That'd be a cool video.

That would be. You know, we gotta do that like a mini Mr. Beast. Yeah, we can call it Mr. Animal. Mr. Little Lion Boy. Little Lion. Little Lion Man. Little Lion. And that's the, who's that? That's a country, country, country, country.

You're asking me to name a country singer? Mumford and Sons. Oh yeah. Is that country? I don't know. You know me, the person that can just generate the name of country music stars Yeah
