Welcome back to the base
Welcome back to the basement yard. I don't know why I lifted up my microphone

I don't know why I picked it up like this today. You're goldie goldilocks
What do you mean gold the gold?
The shirt gold this is called beige. I know what it's called, bitch
It's not I'm saying like everything like you got the gold on the watch. I mean you're all light blue
I mean old old merch old merch you see this old old old
Do you know all the logs I I cut that with a knife?
That's what all those cuts are yeah, that sucks. I why would you do that? Why are you wearing it if it sucks?
Yeah, that sucks. I why would you do that? Why are you wearing it if it sucks?
That's a stupid question. Touche. Touche. Yeah, actually I don't know if that's true. What is a stupid question? Because I wear other stuff it sucks? Um...
Wait, wait, wait, so hold on. So this was just a normal denim hat, which is a crazy thing to say in the year of our Lord
Yeah
And you just like you know what I want to
make it look tattered so I'm gonna take a knife to it that was the idea with it
yes so every one of these hats that went out you did that too now I can't
remember I feel like there wasn't a lot of those that actually went out but I'm
pretty sure so if anyone has this hat in the world yeah, just know that I Lord and Savior over there Joey Sanigatti
Took a knife to it yeah like held a knife
Do you hold a knife to it like British style like it was a or was it a fucking kitchen?
What's British style where they it's like the?
like a butterfly not not the press the button and it pops out and
They press it to the neck and like oh you got done
The press the button and it pops out and they press it to the neck and like oh, yeah, darling
Like one of those yeah, I don't know and if you don't start that timer I will come over there, and I will kick you in half
Kick it in half is crazy. Yeah, what kind of knife did you use?
Whatever was in my kitchen
So a butter knife like a knife like a knife like a serrated knife a knife that I've used to cut food with
So if anyone has a hat that is this old it was a clean hat. I mean it was a clean knife
It was extra Joe. That's what the X stood for yeah extra Joe on top of the other parts of Joe that they got alright
This is more Joe
There were people that probably were hoping that extra Joe meant something else triple X
Joe there were people that probably were hoping that extra Joe meant something else triple x
Joe No, what?
Realistically have you ever even thought about doing like any form of like porn?
No, I wasn't gonna say porn, but just like showing your balls showing your porn. Is that porn?
I think porn is the act of sexing. No, it's a sex. What's playboy?
It's Playboy?
Is Playboy porn?
Showing your boobs on magazine. What is the definition of pornography?
Is it just naked?
I can't Google porn.
Pornography sounds like magazines.
Porn sounds like digital stuff.
Pornography is so like...
I think they're frogs and toads.
I think that, like, you can have...
video stuff that is pornography and
Have pornography that's not video stuff like frogs and toads. Do you remember that? Do you remember?
Frogs and toads? Yeah, it's been beaten to my head. So I remember it
Can you just look just Google the definition of pornography? Who's gonna get in trouble?
Who's gonna get in trouble here? you think HR is coming through and they're
gonna fucking save us
it honestly is weird what is the definition of for a
that's our photography it does it is kinda weird that like
porn is has the same it's like you know how geography has both yeah
graphite is one of the girls just the study of it so this is the study of porn
is it the study printed or visual material containing the explicit
description or display of sexual organs yeah all right so so take a drink so
technically 50 shades of gray is porn. I- uh, yeee?
Like a softcore porn?
Well, no.
I mean, who cares about the core? It's just porn.
I mean, the core matters.
And we have- we have, by the way-
Yeah.
It's so quickly been demonetized.
Yeah, you know, it's over with.
Um, but I think, uh-
Yo, did I ever tell you-
I may have told you, but I found a playgirl in my neighbor's house
And it was just like dudes and jeans with their dicks out
What swear to God? Oh, you know you remember the wrestler Shawn Michaels. Yeah, he was in playgirl
Before I probably had his thing out before you know what?
Yeah, you know before his eyes one of one of his eyes
Yeah, they came one of them got off the leash so technically like
Fanfic is porn. I don't think words is porn. It just said printed printed could be no back to that
It's it it says printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display description
Yeah, I guess
so this is if I were to just like describe like oh yeah I'm doing I'm gonna if I were
to describe your penis that would be that would be porn right you know that'd be great
two inches don't bear don't you don't do that barely what oh what should we say for you
oh just so big and hairy or whatever you said it that me you know
What you got a big hairy dick?
You're gonna get off of this this is crazy
We gotta get off this is absolutely crazy that we got here
Okay, yeah extra Joe x x extra x x x yo by the way
I just I knew I wanted to talk about this with you because it was big on social media
I watched one video and then every single video was this but the story about that anglerfish
Just like get into the service and dying do these things are fucking terror
What was the first movie that finding Nemo remember that shit?
Find finding Nemo of course yeah, that's where that first saw an anglerfish you think I saw him before finding Nemo
I didn't know those fish were real and then even seeing the videos of this thing
Why does it have a mouth like that? It not only has a mouth like that bro
severe underbite if you
Insane if you had asked me at the age of nine years old to draw a scary fish
Like this is like yeah, and this is not even a joke like that is
what I would have drawn a million teeth just the sharpest teeth that are coming
out of nowhere and it's got a light bulb in its head well that's cuz it needs to
see where it's going but how much does that work down there that's not what it's
what is it for it's to attract other fish so they can kill them but what is
that even such hideous animals, dude
It's crazy than an animal like this exists on our planet
And we're just like cool like why don't why haven't we nuked the oceans yet to get rid of these fuckers?
That wouldn't be good for us nuking the oceans no yeah, I mean you pull you want to pollute the ocean with nuke
I mean if we get all right. He'll hear me out. I'm here. I know J Robert Oppenheimer's family watches the show
Do you?
That's the first I'm hearing if they could figure out a way
to just target an animal like this one yeah, and then like release a
Bomb it only takes out these got it. We can add ticks in there, too
We don't even know how many there are I don't even know if we know how many A bomb that only takes out these. Got it. We can add ticks in there too.
We don't even know how many there are.
I don't even know if we know them, but I assume we don't.
How many anglerfish could there be?
Apparently this was the first one that they...
have seen, like, near the surface.
These big little fuckers. I hate them.
I saw a video of a girl, like, crying about this.
Why is she crying? She's upset?
She was upset because it was like... was like they of course romanticize the story and
made it so like you know this anglerfish they use that light on their head to
attract other fish and then I was reading these comments I'm not kidding
bro I got a little choked up really like it kind of like fucked me up a little
bit wait how does this thing just produce light?
Dad I'm not even gonna even because then enlightening bugs. This is all wait
How do they do that bro lightning bugs have lighting up their ass?
Yo, they they literally have light literally and there's like
They're like oh take a look at this look at what do you think about?
Bro, and you ever kill a lightning bug and go like that. Yeah, you're well. I there's problems there wait no there's problems
No, I feel bad, but I've killed one
But I like killed one and but it's like the lights like it's like yeah, bro. It's like a fucking
It's like it's like a it's like a juice a glow stick. It's like, it's like a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a I mean I was also putting glow stick on your body is probably bad for you. I don't know what the fuck is it?
What is glow stick? It's it's like neon. What is glow stick?
Neon shit, why does it get activated when I crack it?
I imagine because it's like a bag of like an ice pack like there's like chemicals and water and then when you mix them together
It makes it so the plastic tube is filled with a chemical mixture including
And then when you mix them together, it makes it. So the plastic tube is filled with a chemical mixture,
including diphenyl oxalate or a similar oxalate ester.
Similar to oxalate ester.
Oh, to ester.
Gotcha.
A separate glass vial inside the tube holds hydrogen peroxide.
Nothing was cool.
And also, why the fuck did we put them in the freezer after and they were like if you want them to
Last longer put them in the freezer. When am I gonna use a glow stick again? I mean glow sticks were pretty cool
I know you can find them anywhere, but like back in the day
You can only find them at like dances school dances and like 4th of July firework parties
You know I'm sure they were everywhere
But like my family protected me from them enough in order to feel joy when I saw like I've only
Been around glow sticks around your family
Probably honestly, I mean I used to recall the one cool family. Yeah
Glowstick family. Oh my god. Do you remember at like Remy the like guidos?
That would get the glow sticks and put them in their hands and they would frolic
You know you brought this up not too long ago
It's so seared into your brain bro because they'd be like because they would be like you know like the most like hyper
Masculine like oh, I'm sorry you like to fucking
wax your eyebrows gay like they were so like hyper toxic masculine and
Like then they would put glow stick in their fingers wearing skin-tight
Puma track suits and then they just and they would fucking
And like dance with their boy be honest have you ever?
Done it in front of the mirror and try to be good at it. No have you ever tried to learn a dance?
Oh, yeah, I'm so I've I've have I not told you this story which dance
a dance oh yeah I'm so I've have I not told you this story which dance so as you know for those of you you know that don't know this I you might know this
story but there might be people you know every shown you Joe I get it every show
there might be a first-time listener we don't know well that's why we need to
pretend as if this is their first time. But which dance? You may have told us.
So I gate-kept.
Gate-kept?
Gate-kept.
Gate-kept.
Gate-kept dancing.
From who?
When I was in middle school.
Oh, yes, you did tell me this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what I did is when I was in middle school, so for those of you guys that don't know,
I went to a different school for sixth grade and then a different school for seventh grade. And when I got to seventh grade, I told people like, that don't know, I went to a different school for 6th grade and then a different school for 7th grade.
And when I got to 7th grade, I told people like, I don't dance anymore.
Like...
Yeah, that you're retired.
I retired from dancing.
Because you're so good.
Because I was so good at dancing, dude.
That included grinding.
Oh, you didn't ground?
I took a while, but the real story...
You went on a grinding hiatus.
The real story.
You're like, yo, chill, chill, chill. I just ground so much. my shit is like mashed potatoes right now. Yeah, like six grade was wild off the grind
but the real the truth was that like I
Had done it a few times before but I looked stupid doing it
So like yeah, I didn't want to keep doing it you were scared because you were like, oh, I'm not I was scared
Cuz I was like, what if this is not a good ground, you know
What if it's not you know, if it right not if I'm not a good grinder exactly
so then I
Gate kept it. I told all the girls like I don't dance and
It made them want to dance with you supply and demand
Economics 101 if I remove the supply of me grinding right the demand for my grinding abilities was through the roof
So the so people were just desperate to grind on you of me grinding. The demand for my grinding abilities was through the roof.
So people were just desperate to grind on you.
I wouldn't say desperate, but they were clamoring.
OK.
You know?
Yeah.
There was a clamor out there for grinding on me.
Right.
And I really put it out there like I
was a world-renowned grinder.
You know?
Obviously.
If you saw me in seventh grade, would you not think like this is someone that knows how to dance I
would think that yeah and I would think why is he wearing four shirts and they're
all double I think the most I wore at a point is three it's a lot too many the
most I wore was three.
And the biggest shirt I had was a 5XL.
No you didn't.
Yes I did.
You had a 5XL t-shirt?
Yes I did.
Was it covering your shoes?
It was quite big.
It must have been.
It was quite big.
I didn't even know, I don't know if I've ever seen
a 5XL in person.
I've seen up to seven.
I've seen a 7XL.
7XL? Yeah. That's a lot of up to seven. I've seen a seven XL. Seven XL?
Yeah.
That's a lot of shirt.
So as I gate kept grinding,
Right.
I knew that I had to reenter the market.
The grinding market.
Market reintegration.
So who was your first one back?
Economics 102, you know.
I mean, I don't think that's how that works.
I think it's 201.
I don't, yeah, I don't know.
You don't know because of college.
Right.
And you probably should know because you were a business major, weren't you? I took all's 201. I don't yeah, I don't know cuz of college right and you probably should know because you were a business major
Weren't you I took all these classes. Okay, so, you know
Understand that market reintegration
For growing supply chain
Yeah, you've removed the supply of grinding and market marketing economics 101
Reintegration into the market naturally naturally who was your
first grind I'm not gonna say their name do I know them you might have met them
but like they were from my school okay but in order to properly re-enter the
market there was a whole business plan behind it I needed to make sure as I
re-entered the grinding market, I didn't go in.
Right.
Looking as a good product.
I needed a good product.
So you wait, hold on.
So you were in your mirror, like getting ground on.
So I started the reintegration process, joking around saying like, I'll, I'll go
and I'll like dance behind people
like that just to like joke like what is he you were testing the market that's
what it is yeah dipping my toe into the market right that's your finger but yeah
I can't show my toes people yeah yeah I mean run away with that one yeah triplex
Joe okay so in
order to make sure that I didn't look like an idiot because that was of
paramount importance to me of course you know I would dance like that in the
mirror and I did it once and I said wait you would like you would be like oh I'm
getting grinded I was like that in the mirror if someone's grinding on you
you're doing that well that's that's how I started the reintegration into the market right now
I'm talking about reintroduction of the grinding market right making sure I I moved into a place of comfort and
Confidence you know yeah, this is market testing 101 Joey economics 301 now. We're in economics 301
You're getting this is more cause experience. You've ever had in your life. Yeah, yeah it is
Economics 301 you're getting this is more cause experience you've ever had in your life. Yeah. Yeah it is
I am trying to picture this but so that first time that you came back you unretired I unretired easy I I probably had you know put feelers out into the market to understand what what the demand was
Yeah, and said something along the line. Where was this first grind? It was at a school dance or a bar mitzvah.
It's very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
That, I feel like, should be easy.
I went to a lot of bar and bat mitzvahs growing up.
Right.
So, chances are it was at one of those.
But like, I said I was just like...
What made you like, be like, yo, this is the moment.
I'm coming back.
A girl.
But did, but did the, but did everyone be like,
Oh, he's doing it!
Yeah.
Stop it! Girl, but did but did the but did everyone be like oh, he's doing it. Yeah, stop it
There was a crowd of people being like Frankie's grinding look at it look at I can't believe he retired this look up good
He is economics my friends
economics okay
understanding the market
And you just pulled up your 5xl shirt you're like
I mean none of the five I was, if I was at one of those bar bombets,
was wearing a shirt and tie or something like that.
And like a disposable Yamaha.
You had a bunch of them.
I have, yeah.
They weren't disposable.
I have... I only have one left.
It's a real Yamaha.
I don't know if they just gave you like...
Yeah, we'll give them one.
Oh, yeah. I mean, maybe.
I'm not sure.
Don't they have clips, no?
Some of them. Mine doesn't have a clip
That's why that's why I said I mean it's it's like a very like a little is probably
It's a good quality like it's like felt okay. Does it say like fucking Jonah's 16th birthday?
You know I don't know if it I don't think it does but I'll check yacobs bar mitzvah. Who's the bar in the bot I?
But I'll check yacobs bar mitzvah who's the bar in the bot I?
Don't remember forgive me. Yeah, we don't know our friends. Have you bought Mitzvahed bard never yeah I mean either I I've been probably to more bar and bought Mitzvahs than I have sweet 16s

Frank Alvarez, Francisco Alvarez,

But what is that that was like an ancient place like Atlantis?
I think it was where like Iraq and Turkey that area was oh, I thought this was like a
Fairy-tale place no, I believe Mesopotamia was a real place
I believe so can you look up Atlantis wasn't real?
No a lot of people believe it was real too. Can you look up where was Mesopotamia if you're right? I'm gonna be so I'm gonna have so much respect
Located in the fertile crescent area
Yeah, Iran Syria, Turkey, I was right
That's why a lot of people like the ancient city of Troy,
because the only like talks about it were in like ancient
like texts and a lot of people thought they were myths.
But a lot of people believe that Troy was Turkey.
So like the whole like they're coming with a horse.
Let me be very clear about something.
If I'm at war with a country and they just drop a horse off at my front gate as a gift
What how stupid do you think I am also?
What am I gonna do with this giant horse? Yeah, and also I don't want this like it was a big one
And you wouldn't hear the people in it like I?
Mean maybe you wouldn't but like also what am I gonna do with the horse?
I would honestly I would be like you know fuck this thing
So I would have burnt it and sent it back
This guy's looking up Trojan horses
Trojan horse diagram yeah, how big was this horse, bro?
I don't give a fuck how can I say this if I'm at war with a country and they're like yo
Here's a big wooden horse. I know something's up. It's hollowed out and not filled with Trojan men
Well the Trojan army
Was like the Greek army what yo honestly this was a genius whoever did that whoever was the guy who made that call
What a good call what a stupid call whoever was the one that it was like you know what you know this looks pretty cool
Yeah, bro if I'm not going horse, then I'm telling you right if a package shows up at my house
And I don't know what it is. I'm terrified you think of a fucking giant wooden horse shows up at the gates
I'm gonna be like yeah
I get a phone call from a number. I don't have saved and I'm like no way I'm picking that up
I'm not wheeling in a giant or zero less than zero percent of a chance
Am I fucking accepting that who will did up to the gate?
Idiots well no I guess the people that did it were so the Trojans got there
They're like yeah, we just want to get you something nice. You know someone
Horses what does it say here Greek mythology? Yes? He was mythology Trojan horse was a wood
Why do you say horse like that?
Horse.
Horse.
To have been used by the Greeks during the Trojan War to enter the city of Troy and win
time out.
Wait, the Trojan horse wasn't a real thing?
No, that's what I just said. All the mentions of the Trojan War were in like the Odyssey,
at you know, like-
Wait, wait. You didn't know this? This isn't real? War were in like the Odyssey and you know like wait wait
You didn't know this isn't real
There is some evidence to suggest that it was but like mythology I think of Zeus throwing lightning which didn't happen well as far as you know come on
but no so like the the the the what's it called the Iliad and the Odyssey that's what is like the story of
the Trojan War bro?
this is baffling and and a
Lot of people believe like they're like oh, maybe it was fake, but then there's like oh wait. Maybe it wasn't fake
Ancest I mean was the Trojan horse real. Oh, it was not real Google says no
It might have been no bro. It might have been no, bro. It might have been though. That's what we don't know

Back to me and pissed at you what I do
You called him Agamemnon, too
You called the magamemnon and you do this where you just like you did the thing no you did it too you little bitch
I don't even know who we're talking about it was that kid that told Dennis that he had a wide back at the gym
Oh, yeah, that's crazy thing to say I will say that this all Danny started that
He called the mag and memnon first probably but like we were all there when he told him he had a wide back
I did hear that and I was like that's crazy way to describe somebody, but that's a crazy way to describe anyone
But yeah, it's I didn't know like I knew that the the Trojan War was from like mythology
But I didn't know it was just like I did not know that I thought that was like a real well documented thing
I mean it so there are documents and like murals of it and shit like that like
Yeah, but we're talking about mythology now. I mean myth and technically
Every war is mythologized
And technically every war is mythologized
Did you just make a word up? Yeah, mythologized. That's a real word. Is it? Yeah, of course it is. That's shocking But I mean that's not true at all by the way. Yeah, it is technically all things are mythologized in one way or another
Why because at the time they just thought that there was a big guy shooting lightning bolts with a big white beard that it was
More fake than stuff now. Yeah, that's right. That's exactly it. Yeah, see? Mythologize is a word. Yeah. Make the
subject admit, yeah. Like, like what you did with your grinding. I mean, that's right.
I did mythologize my grinding and it worked. Yeah. It did work. Also, I just watched this
movie the other day, so we're gonna definitely get into it.
The Substance, did you watch that movie?
Yes, Beck and I watched about three quarters of it and then we turned it off.
Wait, hold on. By the way, there's going to be spoilers, so if you're like,
what the... I'm gonna talk about the movie, like you can skip ahead.
So, it came out last year
Big Oscars push for it massive to me more Margaret quality both in the conversation me
Yes to me I believe it's to me more it's
All right, I always heard it to me to me more honestly that's where I heard it to me
Can you look up the proper pronunciation is it to me it to me to me more. I don't honestly that's where I heard it to me Can you look up the proper pronunciation is it to me? It might be to me more?
I have no idea Demi or dead dummy
Like
What is it I think it's to me yeah dummy wow look at me
I'm right. You're the dummy
I'm right. That's all for this week's episode
But for those of you guys that don't know I know Joe's gonna spoil it I gotta I'll give some background basically
I really want to know where you stopped watching. Um
Quitting before the end is bananas yeah i beckon
beckon was tired and she's like i'm gonna fall asleep and i was like do you even
want to keep watching this and she's like not really and i was just like it's just
a little much for me uh but demi morse character is like elizabeth sparkle and
she is like an aging actress in Hollywood and in order to I
Guess re-enter the spotlight. She takes this substance that
Things happen and I don't you know, I mean I'm perfectly fine with saying with what happened
I'm not gonna give like details of everything but here's a detail
It's a fucking shot that you have to give yourself
and then your back splits open
and a person crawls out of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And.
I mean.
So.
Pictures are crazy.
Yeah, I mean, it's, it's,
a lot of people said that they couldn't watch it
because of like the gore and,
but I think a big part of why they couldn't watch it
was like the whole needles of it all like there's a lot of
needles I'm telling you right now the worst part about this movie for me it
wasn't that needle per se it is the giant pus pimple on this woman's spine
yeah it gets progressively worse throughout the entire movie and there's
a needle like this big that goes in it
And I'm like I cannot watch if they go back to this pimple again
I just I can't hmm you gotta be see the movie so here's the thing why I stopped watching it
Where did you stop watching? I don't remember honestly what part I stopped watching it at did you see that?
I don't see that. Did you have to do that back up this kids googling pimples. did you see that I don't see that you have to do that back up
This kids go going pimples. Do you see that over there? I don't think I saw that over there
You know that's to me that I know who that is I know
Yeah, why did I go Christopher Walken there? I know it's the way is more to me more
Less by the way a story is finest. I know
You like that fucking impression. I ate at his deli by the way you ate at his deli. Yeah, yeah, Christopher walkin
Yeah, yeah, the deli the walk-in deli rai del deli rai the walk-in deli on like 30th and was he in there
I don't think he was there was it like hit him or like his family's deli
His family owns a deli. I didn't know yeah. Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah. It was 2009 when I went, so forgive me, but...
Um... I mean...
So much.
The messaging is not subtle.
Yeah, I get the messaging.
Like, that's the thing, I think people when...
Because I'm not saying I disliked the movie, I just felt like it was just a little too...
...cartoon-y for me. Like, it freaked me out, but I get that's the point of it. I also get that. I'm not the fucking
audience for it like it's it's the messaging is very clearly, you know around what Hollywood and
entertainment forces women to have to do in order to be relevant, right but
It was like the way it was shot and like the closeups on some people,
like there's one scene in particular
where like Dennis Quaid's character
has like a bunch of people around him
and he's like talking in the camera
and it was just like, yeah, back up.
You know what I mean?
Like, but.
I'm sure that guy exists by the thousands.
Well, I'm sure that the real version of him
is way worse than that movie version.
That guy was such a piece of shit.
He was such a dumpster bug. One of the worst version of him is way worse than that movie version that guy was such a piece He was such a dumpster bro bog
One of the worst parts of that movie for me was in the beginning when he's like at a meeting and he's just eating
Shrimp yeah, and he just he was just like dipping it like it was like this is fucking gross and again
I get it. I get it. It was just like
Do you think honestly because this movie's getting a lot of Oscar buzz,
Right.
Do you see why? Because I think that the most grounded part of it was Demi Moore's character,
and like, I could see why she deserves the Oscar.
I thought she was phenomenal in it.
Yeah, best picture it's nominated for, best actress in a leading role,
it won the Pam de or last year at
Cairns which is like their best movie so it's yeah for the top three essentially
right best picture best actress yeah and she won best actress she was amazing and
bro by the way she's fucking 62 years old and looks insanely good. Yeah, and she's just naked the whole time
I well, I think I so anytime I watch a movie I go on IMDB and I read the trivia might not be real
But I think I read that that her and the other actress in the movie body doubles. Oh, well, yeah, I'm sure they did
But I yeah, I'm
Insane like is it was a crazy movie
But again
spoiler alert
Here's your spoiler. You want to know how it ends? I think I kind of know she turns into like a big like goopy doopy monster, right?
That's a good way of putting it
Have you seen the movie?
No, and it's going home and watching this tonight.
If you, so when you do the substance, like you put the substance in your body, this other
like hotter younger version of you like pops out.
Literally crawls out of your back.
And she had to get her back like.
Stitched.
Stitched.
Which the fucking younger one did it in a bathroom.
And like it's like a week that like you're the younger version,'re the other version you're the younger version you're the older version and
like they just are like asleep in a bathroom for that week so the yeah the
younger one they like hook you up to an IV so you like get fed but like the
younger one starts booking gigs and there's like all right I'm just gonna
do an extra day so like takes a little bit more fluid because you need like
this fluid from your fucking spine or something so it takes a little bit more fluid because you need like this fluid from your fucking spine or something so takes a little more fluid And then that makes the older character
Get really fucking old and like her finger just gets old and crusty like a dragon's hand, right?
Then and then so then that's what happens and she's like what the fuck my finger has a dragon foot and then she's like
Talk and then she's calling a number and the guys like you got I don't know you guys got to figure it out
They were no help on the other end by the entire movie
Oh the shady people in the back alley that give her this thing only called this substance or no help shocker
They're not helpful bad customer service, but then so then they start getting into a battle
And like then the younger one is like yo fuck this like I
need to have like weeks at a time so it takes mad fluid so when she's taking all
that fluid it ages the fuck out of Demi Demi Moore and then when she finally
gets awake because she runs out of the spinal fluid she finally becomes awake
and she looks in the mirror and it looks like an looks like
the hunchback of Notre Dame yeah and like her no hair all fucked up blah blah
blah and she's just like all fucked right and old and like hunch and then
there's all the shit then the young one starts beating the shit out of you just really spoiling everything yeah, I said I said
beating the fuck out of her right disgusting beat up and
then fucking uh
She I don't even know if she's alive or dead
I can't remember but then at one point they wake up and they're
one like there's like teeth and like a face on the shoulder
And then they put on a dress and they try to look nice for like a New Year's Eve show
Yeah, and then she melts
On her face walk of fame. She's just a face and a pool of blood and like muscle and then just that's it
Man cinema
If anyone needs me to describe more movies I'll be here but we
should do an episode where we get you hammered and ask you to just describe
weird movies bro that movie was so weird I was like what am I watching and then I
was like now now like I get the messaging the messaging is not lost on
me but the rest of it is like how did this even get greenlit to do this well
if I were to tell you that it was made by a French director would you believe
me nothing about the movie stood out as French to me man pretty French if you
ask me what I don't know I don't know I've never seen another French movie and
honestly it might not even be a French director I think it is a yeah it was
just like it was so like I don't know how like I think it is though yeah it was just like it was so
like I don't know how like I've seen people talk about it and they're just
like it's the best movie of last year and it's like seems like a bit of a
stretch to me personally I don't even know what I get it you don't know the
other movies that came oh you still haven't seen wicked which is bananas
well was that I guess that was last year. Yeah this was last
year there was but like yeah it was interesting yeah would you take the
substance? No. What would the younger version of you be? I know mine would be.
What would it be? Well my older version would be me looking as I do now my younger version would obviously be Zayn Malik. Uh-huh. Okay. No?
We've never seen Frank and Zayn Malik in the same room so it could be true.
That's all I'm gonna say. Yeah. Check his spine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Check my spine. You never know.
Yeah. Oh.
Oh. But then, yeah, right.
A lot, I heard that a lot of people had to leave the theater because the needle stuff
was like really, really bad.
The needle stuff was pretty intense
It was the pimple for me though
It was the pimple for me
I was like oh my god
The pimple wasn't the worst part
It was the... I feel like the needles was the worst
And Dennis Quaid
Yeah, fuck him
What? When did you turn it off?
I don't remember
See, how does he turn it off before all that?
Because to his defense?
It's like a 30 minute block where it's like just all this shit is happening. I'm like what I don't even know what it's like I said
brah watching TV with Becca is a
Coin flip because she's either all in and then she'll literally will literally be watching something
And I know just from the sound of her breathing like she's falling asleep
Because she'll just turn over to me, and I'll just be like I'll turn it off now in the middle of this fucking like a long breath
Like well that I know and like I know and she tried what?
She tried what listen she's a mom a fucking stay-at-home mom. She's a very hard job, but it's exhausting
I get that she tried once she was just like
Well when we watch TV. I'm laying down so my eyes are already closed, and I was like nice try
What does it have to do a stay-at-home mom?
Well, she's exhausted at the end of each fuck. Oh, oh, but she's trying to make it
It's like you're trying to make a cabbage patch
Yeah, that's funny. Oh, you know you should do you can get her one of those a pair of glasses You're like turn them sideways and their eyes close. Yeah.
That's funny.
Oh, you know what you should do?
You could get her one of those, a pair of glasses that's like, you could just lay it
like this.
Oh no, well I mounted our TV on the wall now so it's not like, it was previously sitting
on our dresser.
Oh.
And I mounted it on the wall so now it's higher up.

You're doing your anime face.
No, don't do that.
Don't do that to me.
What?
That's what you do and you do this thing.
I was just like, I don't do that. Don't do that to me. What? That's what you do. And you do this thing. I was just like, I don't do- I stop-
You know, these people probably think that I'm a monster.
Cause I say you do the anime face?
No, because you just make up stuff about me on this episode.
Frank, you made up that you retired from grinding.
I made up that at the time-
You mythologi- what was it?
Mythologized.
Mythologized. Genius. Not genius. I mean, it worked. up that at the time you mythology it was a solitaire was solidaized genius not
genius I mean it were business it was
business Frank that's what we get that's
why business Frank that's that's that's
economy 401 dude now we're up to for now
we just like recognizing that at the
time I was a young entrepreneur and with
grinding I mean today's grinding is tomorrow's Bitcoin you know what I'm
saying like these all these don't have Bitcoin no no no no Bitcoin none
whatever none whatsoever none whatever. You have no crypto?
No.
Because?
Uh, just-
Because you just like, I'm not-
I just don't have any.
I mean-
Okay.
Do you?
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
Yeah.
I don't have like a-
You too?
I mean, you should definitely diversify a little bit.
Yeah, just-
I mean, maybe I do, I just don't know.
I'll probably have to ask my finance guy.
Uh, he's not gonna buy crypto for you. I don't know! I mean, I probably- Those are't know I'll probably have to ask my finance guy I'm not gonna buy crypto for you know I mean I probably I personal purchase I'll be honest
I'm a little upset. I didn't get into Bitcoin when it launched at a
dollar a coin
That would have been so crazy. I would have every pet if you had told me what it would have become every panty
Doesn't work like that. I know I know
How many times have you ever thought about like that where it's just like if you can go back and make any investments. What would you invest in?
Yeah, I mean obviously the big three Apple Google Amazon, right?
I feel for like I would have invented blah blah blah like bro. I I love when people bring that up because I
Can go back in time and show them an iPhone but that's pointless
because they just be like this is still magic this is nonsense magic this is
still nonsense I don't think I would go back that far when like realistically
view it in my timeline what have you thought like you're Loki like I
wouldn't go back to like the 20s like what am I doing here would you ever like have you ever thought like I would go back and invent this and be a billionaire
No, the only thing that I think is like a smart thing to say is like you can invest in stuff
So like the day I heard about fucking like Apple Tesla Google Amazon. I'd be like we have this new company
That's coming out. It's called Google. You know what I would do I would Google Jeff Bezos his address and just go make be buds with him and just like
Walk by his garage all the time be like oh, dude. I love the bookstore that you're making whatever the fuck
Love to work here. This is really dense and crazy like the Amazon jungle and see what happens you know
What do you what was that? I just like drop hints about Emma and oh I would go while he was building it and like
The first few days and be like you know what I really love books
And I think like we can sell these online you'd walk by like the garage in San Francisco where they came up with Apple
Yeah, that'd be a cool one didn't they like buy computers from like IBM
And then they just like created their own thing or something like that? I don't know possibly but I know that like Apple was in big time big time fat trouble at one point in time
For what?
I think not for like being bad people maybe I don't know
Oh, document it
Yeah
Document it
But like, um, they like had no money they like were almost bankrupt and then Steve Jobs had to come back cause he like left the company
And I think that at that time he invested in Pixar of all people oh
Yeah, I
Mean that was we got a Toy Story because of Steve Jobs. That's cool. Yeah, I
Don't love Pixar. I
Nothing gets me more hyped than that fucking lamp jumping on that. I fucking love it
You know when the and it looks at the you know what I'm
talking about no exactly there are some new Pixar hits that you haven't watched
that you are flat out missing out on really am I gonna cry some of them might
get you a little bit but not as much the Pixar movies just that type of animation
in general like could get me to cry I watched the one the first one with that
old guy playing chess that one would make me cry
That was a that was like before a Bugs life. Yeah. Yes. Holy shit. I'm very good at this. Um, I'm very good at this memory
I
Watch that and it's like he's playing himself, right?
Another spoiler I think no, he's like playing chess. You're spoiling a 25-year-old Pixar short.
I'm pretty sure people are more okay with that.
It's a three-minute...
Than the movie that's up for best picture.
This year.
Yeah.
I watched that and I was like,
that's so sad, like an old guy playing against himself.
I think it's like he starts off,
he thinks he's playing with someone
and it shows you like someone else,
but then as time goes on, you see,
he's just playing by himself.
Makes me upset, dude.
What makes you more upset?
Old people? Like, not like mad, but like when like like up like what makes you cry harder up or something like Toy Story?
Uh I never cried in toys. Oh, that's not true. I cried a Toy Story when he gave all the things away three the toys away
I was like
You fucking idiot now you get it yeah you get it Joey yeah
I mean it's because there was a movie that I just watched I gave away all my I
didn't give I I literally put them in the garbage and probably threw spaghetti
on top of my toe no mine were ripped from my fucking hands by my mother I
can picture you like no no no no she didn't do it like that but we did like one day they were just gone and like not realize it because we were just like out
playing football or something. Dude I honestly now that I think about it I can't remember
like how that how they how your toys go away. I'm sure my mom donated them knowing my mom.
Yeah but like I didn't even know you know like I can't remember with my
Like thinking like where are my toys?
I'm being like I gave him away or like I threw them out like I don't remember that ever
Yeah, I don't until I asked it was the day
I saw Toy Story 3 I called my mom as soon as I walked out of the theater. I was like hey
What?
Look at the your Toy Story 3 came out 2010
Was it 2010 yes, and I'll tell you why this was such a little moment
Don't look it up because I know the answer it was because I saw it
Right before I was getting ready to go to college and just like Andy just that so that's the story
That's why it hit so hard for me because Andy was getting ready to go to college and grow up and he had to give his toys away.
And it hurt.
So you called your mom when you got out of the theater and you're like, where's my toys? And she's like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, basically I was like, hey, what happened? Ma, hey, I just saw Toy Story. Yeah, it was cool. What happened? Like, where are my toys?
Oh, they're long gone, Frankie.
What?
I wouldn't have even dignified it with a response.
You're 18.
I was 17 at the time when it came out.
Well, whatever.
Um, still a child.
And you were just like,
Yo, where is Polly Pocket?
It's... It's giggling. It's real funny over there, I'm real fucking funny and I love
poly pocket I love poly pocket too but I was more of a mighty max kid because if
I don't know what that is it was the boy Joey mighty max it was a boy version
boy version of pocket because if I was seen as a young boy playing a pocket
people pointed me say gay well I was playing with the Polly Pocket
I used to put the Polly Pocket in my pocket and take a Polly Pocket in your pocket
I was the Polly Pocket inception. I would put the Polly Pocket in my pocket
I would walk around with it and then I would pop it open. I'd be like look at this

Like, 30,000 it would be, or like, 3,000.
And then it would be 2,900, 2,800,
and then it would be up until his birthday.
