Don't remember that. Y'all people gonna make me unleash the dragon. Y'all know I don't really wanna unleash the dragon. He loved dragons, Cisco. I think that he loves Cisco more than a lot of people. No, that was like the only two good songs on that album that I remember. Whoa, sorry Cisco.

I mean, oh. Yeah, he might be watching. Is Cisco still around? Of course he's around. Is his hair still silver? It's not. Can we look up? I think it's blonde. I love how we're looking at the TV

as if Anne thinks we're not asking him subtly. It's just. Anytime Frankie think I'm blonde I love how we're looking at the TV is if and things were not asking him subtly It's just anytime Frankie has a question or says anything or like goes like this. He's asking you I know but also it's only like when we're looking up stuff like I just want to see a Recent image of Cisco. Yes, Cisco systems, by the way Wi-Fi you fucking ruined an American staple Hip-hop artist Cisco. Have you never heard of Cisco? You've never heard of the thong song? I've heard of that, I didn't know who sang it. You didn't know? So who do you think sang it, God?

No, also not that. How'd you get there? Hip-hop Cisco. You spelled Cisco like an idiot! First of all, also, that's not Cisco! Yeah, who the fuck is this guy? Is that Klay Thompson in the first picture? I don't know who that is type it. That's love and hip-hop

Oh, that's a, maybe he's off the map at there he is wait teams up with the New York Philharmonic real they can't be real I don't even know what is that the Philharmonic it's

Oh dude you ever hear a Cisco hit those notes I know a legit music. I know Baby That's a great song Maya is that Cisco Frank this is I think we should ditch the Cisco for now. Alright, alright, alright. I mean, wherever Cisco may be, I hope... In a good place.

He's doing well, and I hope he is surrounded by thong thong thongs. Right. You know? You loved that though. Who didn't? Don't sleep on Cisco! I'm not sleeping on Cisco. Don't sleep on Cisco. No, I'm saying like, everyone liked the thong song. It was a very popular song.

I feel like you liked it a little bit more. Like, you were like, yo, I love thongs. Well, I think I felt cool because I watched the like everyone liked the thong song was very popular song I feel like you liked it a little bit more like you were like yo, I love thongs Well, I think I felt cool because I watched the like making remember when MTV was about music and it used to do like the making of the video Mm-hmm, and it was just like a 25 minute video of women and thongs of like we're making something groundbreaking here And it's like Cisco playing like the drums on a butt on the beach. Yeah, what's better than that? And uh, and then at the end they'd be like, the worldwide debut of the thong song video. And actually I came out and rocked my world as a little seven year old, let me tell ya. Wow. Wow, I can't believe you were seven years old that came out, I felt like I was older.

Uh, maybe, maybe, maybe because you were like reading Playboys at that age. I wasn't reading Playboys at seven, was I? There was the one in like that alleyway behind your house. I was seven? I'm pretty sure we were seven years old when we were looking at that. First of all, no one's reading that. I was looking and analyzing. Okay, I just wanted to see a boob.

You probably did at that time. Weird, the things that you do, you know? That was a weird time And then we've obviously told these stories before but for people who don't know new viewers or whatever the case may be There was a playboy stuffed into the crack of an old garage at the top of my block that I would go Yeah, and I don't know how it got there I think my neighbor put it there But we would go and be like oh, and then we look at boobs

And we shove it back into the crack we were very we didn't want to take it It was a communal playboy. It literally anyone else wanted to go and get there. There was an urban legend Oh, there's a playboy in the crack of the old garage at the top of the block and you can go get it Like it was like being able to play with fossils of dinosaurs and then around the block There was a the payphone that I would call 1-800 like boobs piss Oh piss and then they would be like too many too many numbers, but you know what I meant to you know But it'd be a welcome to 1-800 boobs, and you just heard up like a yeah saying yeah Yeah, we called one of those ones on an episode where it was like one hundred like we called a hundred of them

Yeah, and it's just like oh you want to fucking do it yeah give me your credit card yeah whoa dude 1-800 piss girl that's how people in the 80s and early 90s used to get off phone sex it was like they had like chat rooms for fucking phone calls I'm sure that still exists is it like a big industry like a phone sex operator I don't know bro you spend a million hours a night with your girlfriends on the phone you get it we weren't doing fucking like we weren't talking I was talking about like oh man my fucking this chapter catcher in the rye really sucks you think we

were going to see they we were doing like us like what are you wearing and I'd be like Frank Scooby-Doo boxers? Frank. I know that you've done it. No, I will tell you that like when I, yeah, when I got older, but like when I was like at that age where it would be like, we stay on the phone all night,

it was not that, it was just like, let's just sleep and keep the phone there. I don't know, I think you're lying. Why would I have to lie about that? I don't know, when'd you get a cell phone would I have to lie about that? I don't know, when did you get a cell phone? I was at least 15 when I got a cell phone. I can tell you when that whole stay up all night on the phone thing was.

And it was after I'd had the phone for a couple years at that point. Phone sex. Phone sex. No, if we do, I'm being very honest. You've never sex on the phone with words? Of course I have. Of course I have, bitch.

That's all I'm saying. But I'm saying at the time, that's not what the... It was just for like, comfort. I agree. I'm just like, you know, I just want to know someone's there on the phone. And like if I roll over and it's like, you can hear someone is... You know they're there. Breathing and snoring and stuff. And as the gandis, like we're psychotic right now.

You've never stayed up all night on the phone with your girlfriend? No, I have, I have. I just don't believe he didn't ask for like a kiss or something. Oh, of course. I'd be like, give me a good night kiss. Yeah and then he'd be like that's not a good one give me another one something like that or dial three if you like me or some shit. I don't I mean it's honestly it's not impossible but I don't think that. You did you I know I'm acting like

you're 11 but like did you do that thing ever where you have your boy call another girl but on a three-way but you're quiet to find out if she likes you? No. Bro, I- That is my strategy. He's 24 years old. You think they were doing that at that time?

Three-way calls is like- How old are you? 28. 24. Exactly. Yeah, you're right. This is too far away. There are the good old days of being able to just like go up the block and look at a porno

in a cracked garage. Back as a child, I probably shouldn't label it that way, but like, the atrocities of the world were so out of our mindset, we didn't, you know, had a sight out of mind, we didn't care about that. That was like all the way in Manhattan. All the way across the river. Yeah. But in Queens.

But in Queens, all we cared about baby just said it's a souvlaki guy in the corner cuz I'm hungry hell yeah is is Babalu who drives the ice cream truck coming around cuz I want some ice cream the Babalu that you and also got in trouble for cocaine but we don't talk about that yeah yeah yeah but hmm I mean listen I don't know what was in that great white shark popsicle, but it was delicious Oh, I'll take a hundred of them. Yeah No

That sounded like a little crazy right cuz you always talk about how we went into the ice cream truck Yeah, we were like, you know, I don't know what was in that great white popsicle, but I had a hundred chill I mean, I remember his great white shark popsicles.icles those were wet you like the crackest stuff they were delicious they were lemon you were you were they were there were lemon those are much better than the the Ninja Turtles ones that you love so fuck you another tweety bird also fuck you wait which one's gray but money delicious I still get it no that was the wackest no no no no. They're all the same flavor, I think. Are the people that hate the episodes where we're screaming are a little upset at us right now.

Fuck that. Yeah, fuck you guys. We're talking about ice cream here. We love you. No, I-I-the-the Ninja Turtles, they've butchered my boys. Old Ninja Turtles were huge. Can someone explain how hard it could possibly be to put the gumball eyes in the right place? It's not-it's not because a person is doing it. It's a machine.

I know but like what we don't care anymore. I think yeah probably I think that they probably don't care anymore. I hate when I open it up and it's like oh we got an eye here and an eye here what is this? I mean honestly I am fully on board with just replacing those gumballs. They're not gum. It's dust. I don't know what they are. It's dust. So just take them out entirely and just put something in there, you know, a blueberry flavored eyeball or something.

Yeah, yeah. Or like the eyes in a rabbit, a chocolate bunny. Those eyes are good. Oh, I thought you meant... No, not an actual rabbit. Thank God you had chocolate bunny. Question though. No.

Do you remember back in the day where it was like your keychain, it was good luck to have a rabbit's foot? Yeah. luck to have a rabbit's foot Yeah, that wasn't a rabbit's foot Right. I think it might have been brother a real rabbit's foot. I think it might have been And also why is that good luck that was so popular. I had one that was right. I had yeah I had one too. Well yours was probably fake because rabbits are not red. I remember they could die it Well, I mean maybe. I mean, Frank, I don't think anyone has...

Due to a superstition that originated from folklore, with some theories suggesting it might be linked to hand of glory, a severed hand of a hanged criminal which was believed to bring luck in European tradition. So this is what we were walking around with on our keys? Yeah. Type in a rabbit's foot keychain. We had

these back in the day, and it was like a cool thing to have on your keychain. We had these back in the day and it was like a cool thing to have in your keychain and my sister had a bunch. Yeah it looked like that. Yeah that was hanging off my keys. Where were they just? Oh man. But they weren't real. They were like plastic. No some of them look like they might have been. The conviction. No no no some of them look like they were real. Maybe. I don't know. Possibly. But yeah, see I had like a red one or a pink one. I had one of those. I had one of those too. Or I mean at some point. I don't remember exactly what. I think I won one at a fair. Yeah. Listen, the amount of stuff that I had from fairs, they were giving out

goldfish, rabbit's feet, Xboxes. They gave out a... It was a lot- when the carnival or the fair or festival, whatever you guys called it, feasts someplace, it's called it, rolled into town, and that was a lull-less section of the community at that point in time. My mom hated that because me and Keith would come home with some animal, and she'd be like, what am I doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Came home with a hermit crab. That sucks, dude. Named it Miss Crab crab tree and Keith wanted it to like run around and

Like open the thing and then it just ran away How fast could it have gotten away? Yo honestly now I'm thinking about it. Maybe my mom just fucking tossed it Yeah, I was gonna say these things. Have you seen a hermit crab how fast they move? They're pretty slow, brother I owned one. Okay, then you should know that it was probably bullshit from the start. Well, Mrs. Crabtree- Frank, I was a child. Top speed, four inches per second. That's what Joe measures in. First of all, that's very fast. Four inches per second?

One, two, three. Whoa, dude. Four inches is not that- I think four inches is like probably right i it's something like that yet yet now yet now you're not really got rid of that thing crushed it in the end of that alleyway or something i didn't tell you had a dream about you yet no i wasn't it wasn't it wasn't that either all you're just in it

okay nothing crazy okay We were in a car That means you're thinking about me. I Think so. Oh, well Let me tell the story. Okay but we were in a car and I was in the back seat. I Don't remember if there was anyone driving, but you were sitting in the passenger seat, okay And then I was just going I was trying to talk But I couldn't oh no like it was like I'm

Trying to talk. Oh, what were you trying to say? I was trying to get your attention, so you'd shake me And I'd wake up okay, so I was going Right I hate that but you wouldn't hear me. Oh, no because eventually I get it out But it would be so low so then the next time I try to yell, but it would be like No, no Now if I am a dream expert Are you? Right now it sounds like I bet I think this this sounds like there might be something that you want to talk to me about

But you may not feel right. Yeah, what's up? Oh? That I don't know, but that sounds like a good explanation has there been something on your mind You want to air it will air it out right here in front of just me and you and whoever's watching. Yeah I don't know. I hate that when it's just like or like the one is like you throw a punch and it's like bro I hate that or like you eventually throw it. It's like oh, this is so it's not gonna hurt. Hey, yeah Yeah, it's like the worst feeling in the world to have that oh well if you want to talk to me brother I'm all ears I don't really have it I think I got it all out in the dream oh you got nothing out right okay yeah

dreams I saw this thing and by I I mean and yeah and it's a collection of 24 different by the way I couldn't even have told you 24 different ways to sleep. Yeah, I didn't and I mean, I think we know what yours is Joey Joey's sleeping in ten I do not there's almost no doubt. Can I guess how you sleep and you guess how I saw right? Ah, okay I'm gonna guess that you sleep and you guess how I sleep? Alright, uh, okay. I'm gonna guess that you sleep. I already see mine and I know you're not gonna get it. I think this one's a thumbnail. I would say 22. That's how you sleep.

No, no, honestly. No? Close! I'm a 21. Definitely a 21. What? It looks like you're in the middle of throwing a curveball. I know! That literally is like, you're one down like you're fucking El Duque. Yeah. No, no, no. That's what I do. I bring, I bring my, my leg all the way, one leg all the way up,

one down. I like to stretch it out. So there's a real difference between my legs. I like that too. And then I, I pull one arm under the pillow and I bring it close to me and the other one stays like right here or right here or right here. know something something in this area got you who is who in god's name is ten if not you I don't know that is that is like a crazy way to sleep um I think because I've watched you sleep a lot lately I would say that you're probably what I'm kidding um I would say knowing you you're probably I don't hate a Three I don't hate it. I three not all the time

I see you three I see a three I see a three I also see a 17 I Was gonna say 17 I told you the only thing is I was gonna say 17. I told you. The only thing is Ten is like you've been through and seen some stuff. 17 I do but I would I think mostly I'm like a Like a two Two is pretty standard. That's I would imagine do you have what's your what's your like fall asleep side because everyone has one side that they saw ice I sleep on my right side, okay, or on my back. Oh, no always wake up on my back

So like 13 what is wrong with you? No, I don't wake up with my hands on my side, but I'll tell you this when I go on trips and I usually share a room with Espo. He fucking sleeps like that like he's in a coffin Yeah, he does he always does has. And he doesn't move. And he's like, I think I'll go to sleep now. Yeah, he always has. And I'm up. I don't know who sleeps like five, except for toddlers.

That looks like you got shot in the head. When you sleep, do you have an arm underneath the pillow? Yes. At all times? Yeah. Doesn't your arm fall asleep? No. Your arm never falls asleep? Sometimes it does, but not all the time. How do you get the blood back in your

arm if it falls asleep? You just shake it? I shake it and I watch, I look at it. You look at it. Bro, looking at your hand when it's asleep, my brain is just like, I know it's my hand but I can't feel it, it's there, so whose hand is this? Do you like it? I love it. A little bit. When my arm's asleep, I hang it off of the bed, so that it's like, I can feel the blood just like... Ohhhh. But then you can feel it, feeling.

It's like lubing up, like coming back to life. Jesus, you're horny. No, it's like filling up my arm. And I was like, oh, and now I can move it. And now you can, what, throw an old-timey punch? What the hell was that? No, I'm just like's like filling up my arm and I was like oh and now I can move and now you can what? Throw an old-timey punch. What the hell was that? I'm just like getting the whole movement back. I could sock it to you right now It is weird to feel like I can't make a fist

I love whenever seriously like whenever my hand falls asleep. I look at it. I'm just like what is this? You know what I mean like I know it's my hand But I guess just the way that my brain works It just it can't compute that it's mine. You ever try to hurt yourself? I do that's not what I want. I know you're talking about but like I've had like my hands asleep and I bite my hand Oh, I would just do a pinch. I don't like it. I'm not a rabbit animal. I do a little bite I remember would you be afraid? No, I remember when when we were kids We'd be at the lake house bringing up Espo, his brother, he would I don't know how because oh, I remember how he would always sit crisscross applesauce style and play video games and he would sit for so long that his one of his

legs would fall asleep. And I vividly remember this kid standing up and taking one of his legs would fall asleep and I vividly remember this kid standing up and Taking one of his legs and hitting the wall as hard as he could because his foot just had no feeling in it It was the craziest thing that is weird. Yeah, it was pretty nuts, but all right ten What did you fall asleep doing? 16 is kind of crazy putting the pillow over your face? I have done that I know I have done that too I do that only but like it needs to be a pillow sandwich and needs to be cold pillow sandwich I need to be the meat in this pillow right you know I only do that if like

It's very sunny in the room. I also do you sleep with a sleep mask no I Might want to start doing that give a shot I mean, I'm sure there are companies now they're gonna see this and be like we need we need Joe we need him for sleeping Would you do it? Yeah, but like I don't I don't feel a specific way about it. Do you wear pajamas pajamas? Sometimes sometimes I do sometimes I don't what are your pajamas um? It really depends like I have like pajama pants so you wear like Star Wars pants see you know what you're asking this is a very leading

presumptuous question no I'm asking no I don't have any Star Wars so what do they look like I do have a pair of Ninja Turtles ones I do have a pair of why are you getting angry at me if this is what you because Because the way that you just assumed that I have them- Well I asked you a question and you're like, it depends. So I'm trying to get you to answer me. I have like the classic pajama pants. It's like the plaid. Plaid. You know, plaid. And then I have a pair from-

White Family on Christmas. Is that what you're- Well we have some of those around like Christmas and Halloween. Yeah, yeah. We have like pajamas, like sets for the family. Do you have like a shirt that's on his- I don't sleep like a fucking, you know, like Archie Bunker. You know, with like a button up, you know. I don't like, that's too much for me.

But I have pajama pants. I also sleep, I don't know, do you do this? How many pillows do you sleep with? And I'm not meaning like on your head. Two. Okay, how? Uh, so they're stacked, but... This doesn't hurt your neck, how? So they're stacked but Doesn't hurt your neck brother. Oh, yeah, so that's the thing like I well if I'm like sleeping on my back

Yeah, like not sure I can kind of stack it that way, but then eventually I just have like a One of them is just by itself, and I'm laying on that when I wake up Okay, so I sleep with a pillow here And then I I do a perpendicular pillow that I kind of like put my leg over and I grab sometimes. You put your leg around it? Oh yeah. Do you and Becca sleep?

Yeah. Opposite ways. Yeah, pretty much. I mean, she is like, pull that image up one more time. It's right there. She is a full on like, she will sleep like,

I'm trying to find it, like eight. She is out full-on like she will sleep like I'm trying to find like eight She is out Jesus. She is out brother. She like face down Out cold when she sleeps, okay I am a little more like I like to like I have like in my whole setup You like a little you have a little I used to sleep with like a ton of pillows I used to have a body pillow loved that I have a like a king-size pillow that kind of has taken that place pillows come in sizes yeah what's a king-size pillow a longer pillow oh it's like this yeah because king-size beds oh I see you need a longer so like a standard pillows like

this a king-size is like got it you know you would put that between your legs I put it between my legs and like it so like I have something to like wrap around. You know? Cuddly little guy. I am. But like, I fall, like Beck and I will fall asleep holding each other, but then like once we're asleep, it's, you know, time to sleep. We turn around and we do our thing, you know? Right. Then it's the pillows turn. I love all these people that are just like, like, oh me and my couple, we cuddle all night, and it's like, Shut the fuck up, dude. No you don't. Too hot. Not only too hot that are just like like oh me and my couple we cuddle all night And it's like shut the fuck up dude. No you don't too hot not only too hot, but just like

You sleep well as an individual Maybe you know like I understand like I'll roll over and like I'll put my arm on Becca and like you know like Something like that, but like the people that hold each other and fall asleep I don't think anyone really does that besides those old people in Titanic who ended up dying You know who those people were no those were the Macy's people Everything seemed to turn out fine for them. Well. No they died Yeah, but they're yeah, but they were they were like you heard about this So that moment in the movie in the movie Titanic those were that movie that moment in the movie, in the movie Titanic, that movie, that moment

in the movie where it's like the old man is lying on the bed with his wife and they're crying as the water is filling up. Heartbreaking. Can we talk about that though for a second? Get out. Get up. Get a shot. Try. Get up. Get out. That's all. The water is pouring into this room. You don't try. Yeah. Like I know it's like a noble thing. Noble. You're not the captain. Dude, I know. Well, that was crazy. But yeah, so that moment in the movie, it was the co-owners of Macy's were, yeah. Wow. Him and his wife died on the ship when it sank in 1912. So that's what that was. Damn, Macy. If only they had seen what happened to their store. store right there's a big one

There's I think that was the one and then it built out from there wasn't it the original Macy's the one in there I'm big-ass one. I believe so it's it's a massive one Did they see what was the first gives a shit if it's the first one did they ever see did they ever see the parade? Bro, if they never saw their own parade, that's crazy the Macy's Day parade Thanksgiving Day parade I mean they just sponsored it's not like their parade no dude it's their parade what so those are their they blow those up I don't know if they're blowing them up but like they it's their parade like this is your studio and I am my own individual you don't own me bitch but like city field isn't like cities fields like thing there. That's an interchangeable thing

That's like a sponsor. You know what I mean? That's a good point. I think this is different though. I'm I'm very well versed in parades Are ya yeah, I would like to be in the fucking parade. What do we absolutely? Not you don't want to be in the parade you want to wake we gotta do? Absolutely not. You don't want to be in the parade? You want to wake up at 2am and start walking? 2AM?! Bro, they start prepping that shit in the wee hours of the morn.

We're not prep. Well, if you're gonna be in the parade, how are you gonna be in the parade? Perform? I just want to wave. You gotta do that stuff. Like, you need to get there early, dude. No, not 2am. Yes. No. Do you think I'm an idiot?

Yes. Frank, look at me. In sync, that's performing at the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade isn't up at 2 a.m. rehearsing with the people blowing up the balloons. They might be. Honestly, they might be. They might be as insane! They might be. It doesn't even make sense to do that!

Why? Because the parade isn't until 11! No, the parade starts at 8 a.m., Joey. Santa doesn't come until 12. He comes at the end because he's the big attraction! Exactly. But they- They have to do the whole thing.

I know people- 2 a.m. is insane! Even if it's 8 a.m. you better stop six hours better cut it out because now you're wrong I know people know I know people that have done you know parade people yes I know people because you could volunteer 8 30 a.m. okay I know first of all crazy that's what they use to promote it what the hell is even terrifying is that from outlanders? Yeah, I don't even know what that is. Don't tell him I Don't tell him he really wants to know I Know people so you can volunteer to be a person that holds the balloons. That's so different than a performer

If anything that's those people would need to be there later than the performers if it wait volunteers are holding the balloons Yeah, yo, that's crazy. That's a big responsibility bro, volunteers are holding the balloons? Yeah! Yo, that's crazy. That's a big responsibility. Bro, and they're big balloons. Bro, what if you just as... A crew let go of it? If you were just like, yo, on the count of ten. Ten? Way too many.

At the count of three. At the count of four hundred, we're gonna let go. Just let it go. It's crazy. They're told by trucks. Trucks are driven by members of the Union but like the people that are walking you can you can sign up to do it oh we're I'm an idiot yeah you are the strings are probably bullshit at this point mmm I don't think those people are holding them down that says so they're told by trucks that makes way more sense so I think it's like trucks and then there are people that are literally holding a string and they're

waving yeah yeah but I think that's more for show I think it's like trucks and then there are people that are literally holding a string and they're waving. Yeah, yeah, but I think that's more for show than anything. It's not like you could like let it go. Maybe. I don't know the inner workings of the balloon management at the Thanksgiving Day parade. Really? Because you seem to know the itinerary. I mean, yeah, so I know people that have done it and they're like, oh, it's 3 a.m. I have to be on the west side of fucking Central Park because they're blowing up all the balloons now yeah him and Justin Timberlake are over there he's warming up his vocals he's holding

the string I think that you are vastly misguided yeah on what the the inner workings of a you know what the Macy's why don't we host next year? What? The parade! How do you even host a parade? I think, well normally it's uh, you know like the Good Morning America or Good Day New York people And they do like, and now coming down the street Oh wow! 26 years, 26 years of memories Pikachu is now joined by his nice little friend Evie crazy, I just completely misgendered Pikachu, but like that's who does it's like Hoda, Kodby and

the other lady Hoda and Jenna, I don't know. I don't know loves them of course they talked about a sauce I did the pop-tart thing and my mama lost it Yeah, remember one that was just, I like the unfrosted chocolate psychopathy. Fired. Psychopathy. Fired. Absolute insanity.

Well, regardless, we have sponsors right here. Oh, okay. Let's get to the first sponsors for today. The first one being SeatGeek. How you doing?

I, first of all, love is a strong word. You're one of those guys who walks into it, you're like,

I'm good. What does what does I? Just realized that the O's are owl eyes oh I was gonna say they'll click boobs. Oh well maybe that too, but also they're the eyes of the owl right now

That I knew Hooters mascot. Yeah, it was not the women being objectified for your money. It's an owl brother No, no, that's of course what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, we know that do you remember when we were younger? I was like, oh, no, it's fine now like this was progression back in the day. It was like no, it's fine We don't even need big tits to work here anymore. Yeah Good for you. That's right. They were just like we're now allowing anyone to apply any any hot massive tits Big tits just like regular tits as long as you're willing to wear the underwear That's riding in your ass. We don't care how big your tits are also I think at a time didn't they?

And this is funny that I know this but like I think that they like it was the the the women that work there wore Short shorts yeah, and then they added like leggings to it oh I like brown leggings well like yeah, they were like nude like nude colored leggings or something Yeah, I don't know that I've been there, yeah they were like nude, uh... Like nude colored leggings or something like that. Yeah, I mean I don't know that I've been there and it was like raw leg. I'm sure we have at the time. I can't remember. You think in 2008 they were that progressive? Where they were just like, you know what ladies?

Put some leggings on. Hooters is gonna throw you a bone here. Yeah. I mean I don't want to speak ill of the establishment Hooters. We don't know... It's cause you love it sometimes. No, no. You establishment Hooters. We don't know. It's because you love it. No, no.

You love Hooters. I'm just saying we are so far one for one with successfully reviving a popular restaurant chain. One for one for taking credit for sure. I mean, if it's the American way, that's the way I'm going to do it. That's taking credit for something you talk about once on a podcast. What does bankruptcy really mean? It means they start liquidating their assets and figuring out ways to stop losing as much money as they are spending. I know, but that doesn't mean that like they're going away.

I know, so there's different types. There's different like filing. There's different chapters, I believe. I remember looking this up when I was looking up like- Chapter 11. Chapter 11 is just like we are not like going away completely But like we're gonna start restructuring pay all our bills. Well, bro. Look at red lobster. They're doing well They're kind of a success story. Thanks to us Not their new CEO not that Yeah, not the progressive new CEO

How hard would that be? Everyone knew that one Tai Chi guy that was just like Now try to push me You know what I mean? How hard would that be? Everyone knew that one Tai Chi guy that was just like Now try to push me

You know what I mean? I love those videos on the internet Yeah of guys being like oh my oh, nobody like standing still those be like flat-footed They're like try to push me and you push them and be like see I have completely centered my my Chi and like I am Immovable right now. I love the videos of the guy who's like clearly he's the guy and then there's a people just sitting down they're watching him and he's like it's just like this like he'll just be like see that's all you have to do it's about energy it's about balance you just knocking some guy over and they're all just like, yeah.

And I'm like, bro, how can you sit there and watch that and not laugh? Yo, have you ever seen like the Steven Seagal, like him performing in like North Korea or Russia? Someone will come at him and he'll just like grab their wrist and be like, watch this. Yeah, like what are we doing? And like in slow-mo, I agree. Those are... It's like we're like sharks where people like you know How they've you ever seen people hypnotize sharks where they do that where they just like sharks are big puppies watch this And there's a great ride and they like put their hand on its nose and flips it upside down and like scratches its belly and

Apparently that's real apparently it is real yeah, but yeah, but I would love to see I'm riding a wave right now, so okay. Do I quit while I'm ahead? I don't know what you're saying for a San Agato studios video here We go we get someone like like a Tai Chi master in here to do those moves on us Because I also know someone I'd be so embarrassed I also know someone that was a went to school for massage therapy, and they were just like oh, yeah No, like there are parts of your body that if I touch you'll like shit your pants And they were just like, oh yeah, no, like there are parts of your body that if I touch you'll like shit your pants.

Dude. I- I'm not kidding, this is what this person told me. I've not asked them to ex- like go for it? I'm- I'm- I'm open to that being real. Make me shit my pants. I would need to experience that. Like you're telling me someone could just touch this thing and I would just fill my pants. Fill your shitty pants. That would be unbelievable. And you've been wearing bigger, more looser pants now,

so you could probably fill a lot of crap in it. A lot more crap. A lot more crap. Not only that, but I would argue that's cooler than like a card trick. Well yeah, because one is being done to your body. Bro, Vegas, this is a great thing. Get like an ex-navy seal and just have them be like come up to the crowd I need I need a volunteer and just make them shit their pants that would be so awesome

Can you imagine that I think it's possible and I'll go one step probable If we had a guy in here was like if I touch a part of your neck you will shit your pants You let him touch it not me not me. No, no, really. I don't need what if I got you pants I don't care what you get me. It's not first of all there's no shower in here Okay, but all those questions are answered you can get me whatever you want what it would do to my like confidence to shit your pants Yeah, brother. I don't think I'd come back from that why? Sure, I don't man shitting his pants on the internet is We don't have to post it. I'll just talk about it

Worse would you would you let him make you shit your pants sure, but he would have to teach me how to do it at least I can't Secrets that's right Yeah, I think that's the thing cuz you love talking about how often you almost crap yourself. No, you talk about me doing that all the time. Because offline you talk about it. You're smart. No, I don't.

Yes, you do. How often does he talk about almost crapping his pants? Frank, you're a manipulator, and you tell lies on the show, and you create narratives, and then people just believe them because you create narratives and you make it up in your online gaslighter. You know what? Get Topanga on my side. Topanga, you hear how he's talking about us? Projecting, projecting, projecting. You hear how he's talking about us? can project you hear he's talking about us

Was that Whoa, wow, that's a panga now. I believe she's not like a WWE recently look at that shirt. That's a Frank sure Yeah, baby That looks like a sick shirt I'm sorry. That's a sick shirt. I like that shirt.'m sorry that's a sick shirt I like that shirt that is that's the redhead? wow that doesn't look like the hair I remember at all

I honestly don't even remember her from the show if I hadn't looked up this article yeah she was always with the brother and the roommate and then her and it was like this weird love triangle kind of do we have to go back and watch all of boy meets world? no oh we don't alright we don we have to go back and watch all of Boy Meets World? No. Oh. We don't. Alright? We don't have to do that. Honestly? What episode stands out? When you think about Boy Meets World, what stands out? Hmm. Ask me again. You tell your answer and then I'm gonna drink this water because there's something caught in my throat. Got it. Two answers. One, there was a Halloween episode that scared the shit out of me

and I remember a scene in that specifically where the lights go off and the lights turn on. Yes. And the guy's got a pencil through his head and he slides down the wall and he goes I'll always remember he was this tall and I was terrified. Yeah the Halloween- anytime like a show is like- like kid shows did a Halloween episode that's when they were like we're gonna scare the shit out of the kids that are watching this. It's crazy. I think Kenan and Kel didn't want that fucking petrified me as a child. I was scared of everything.

I recently rewatched- oh man, I tweeted about this, but I recently was like, it was up one morning, and it was just miles and I up and I was like, yo, you want to like watch Are You Afraid of the Dark? Yeah, and he was like yeah. In the morning? In the morning, and he was like yeah. At night's too crazy. Cuz I I loaded this, I loaded it up. I was just like dude this show like as a kid It scared the shit out of me like it was really terrifying There was one episode in particular tale of the ghastly Grinner. I've spoken about it and I was like yo you want to watch it. He's like yeah, I was like it might scare you. He's like. I'm good, dude

I'm fine with it. Let's put it on and a bitch like you Kiki and we watched it and boy Oh boy, did it make me look like a little baby because it was not scary at all Really, but come on you could see why as a little kid. I was terrified of that I didn't fuck with that at all You know what I'm saying, and he was just like you thought you found this scary damn Yeah, he hit me hard then you gotta show him like insidious or now. I was thinking now next I'm gonna have to show him something crazy, but Becca might be a little upset about that one

What they're like a something really if you had to show something? What's the scariest movie you ever seen the strangers? Is that the only they knock on the door? Yeah, where it's just like why us it's like you were home Terrifying that's why that's what they say. That's why you're barricading all those doors. I'm right, baby Yeah, I don't like home invasions. I don't like that at all. Who does? I don't like haunted shit, though. I can get past the strangers concept.

Once you're getting into haunting, I don't know why that gets me. See, I'm the opposite. Things that are real freak me out way more than things that are supernatural. yeah, but like I agree, but I I just feel differently about like Haunting and like religious shit because I'm like oh, I don't know I mean yeah I mean you all you were also raised more religious than I was so like I can understand Becca's like that though but that's not why it's like there's there's

accounts of Exorcisms like there's people who do that Yeah, and it's like what is that like what it was going on with this person that they think there's a demon Becca's like you in that regard like like a sci-fi or like a like a like a horror movie about like just like a person That's scary. Okay with the moment. It's like supernatural or like religious or like demonic She's just like I'm out. I'll watch them the only thing that gets me out of movies is Jump scares I hate you do you've said this before you do the whole like who's texting me right now I do that all the time, or I get something in my eye for like 10 minutes. I'm like

No, I love I love horror movies love them you like being scared I do I like it like someone going hey and you know one of my favorite tic-tacs is like that it's like a compilation of people scaring other people like they're like there's like this kid that like scares his grandmother and he just like runs up there and he's like and she like fucking like freaks out I'm terrified of scaring old people I feel like you could yeah they're they're one step in yeah dude one foot in one foot out you know what I'm saying I feel like when you scare someone like that feeling in your

chest your heart has to like do something when I was when I was a kid my sister scared me once so bad that I started crying yeah dude are you kidding me I have to cry all the time for stuff. Yeah. Being scared that was the least of it. I cried for numerous reasons dude. I love a good scare. 90% of the time it was girls. Yeah we know that. You cried about girls too. What up bitch? I didn't. Remember when you cried. Don't. You cried on a piece of paper and you circled it and're like, oh there's a tear No, it wasn't a real cry. I know. Yeah. Oh wait. Yeah. No you you just licked it

Yeah, first time I remember crying for a girl was when I told the girl in second grade that I loved her No, I loved her liked her and it was the day after I watched The making of the video the Cisco thong song full circle wait what full circle it was the day after yep full circle that's how it how zoned in you were on Cisco that you remember the next day yeah yeah it was I mean it was a traumatic time wait what was that second grade yeah same year you stopped talking to me because Kelsey said I was her friend best friend bitch you know you know that it this girl Kelsey

She gave me a thing on Valentine's Day Like when you're a kid like everyone gives stuff out to each other in class She gave me this thing and Frank he was just standing next to me Oh, I had like a bunch and I was just like going through and one of them said Kelsey is like from your best friend Kelsey and then he went what and I looked at him. He looked at me like I Stabbed him and he was like, I thought I was your best friend. I was like you are she wrote me like I stabbed him and he was like I thought I was your best friend We are she wrote that I didn't write that he's like Listen weeks bro two weeks wait. It was about you being the best friend

Yeah, I thought it was about Kelsey like he liked Kelsey listen no We've established that I am a dominant Leo and one of my traits is that I am loyal I'm right or fucking die for my loyalty that That's not loyalty! That is loyalty, bitch. How is that loyal? Because you were being disloyal. I wasn't being disloyal! Your best friend cheated on me. Your best friend cheated.

She said I was her best friend. Yeah! That doesn't mean she's mine. Why would she say that? Why would she assume that that relationship is there? Can I be honest with you? Yeah. I have no idea.

Do you remember me and Kelsey being best friends? I think, I think... I did have a crush on her though. There you go! But then she moved away. She moved away at the end of the year. She did it to herself, so she might have been... Do you remember me and Kelsey being best friends? I think I think I did have a crush on her She moved away So she might have been this might have been the basement yard with Kelsey and Joe, but it isn't now I Won bitch Do you remember when Kelsey moved away it was she

Remember the next year was basically she went to Japan Yeah, moved 15 minutes, and I remember the next year at the end of the school year She came back remember the end the last like three weeks of school in elementary school were just like toss-off No one gave a fuck what you did.

No, I got rid of you No, I had a one at that point in time I had one so she can come back as many times she wants you can come back right now get her on the episode

I think it'll fucking matter. I don't know what she's doing. I don't care. Hope no one finds her even though there's very random Thousand million Kelsey's in the world But yeah, her last name was Kelsey it was Travis oh I get it yeah it wasn't Travis should we end the episode on that incredibly over the roaring laughter well alright guys I gotta get out of here now. That was unbelievable. Dude, you know what I would love to do? No. Go through our yearbook in fifth grade,

just like our class, and just like point people out and just remember stuff about them. Let's do it. I mean, we'd be invading people's privacy by doing that. Just first names. Okay. But that's just an us thing. Like, we should do that, me and you.
