we had several shows in three different countries Mm-hmm first stop was in Glasgow Glasgow Scotland Scotland Scotland yeah, you know and then we we went right over London fucking Don't fuck off. Yeah, and then three shows there had a great time there, and we ended up in Dublin, orland yeah, I'm still working on that one. That's the only one I but it's tough you scared me Hmm Joey scared me into practicing because as soon as I practice the Scottish accent, and I think I got it pretty good It's good. You know just like give me something to say

Hey, how are you? See, but like give it me something to say Hey, how are you? See, but like give it like something with like hey. How are you like it's not great, but like while it was there It was better. I think I think okay It's the air I think the air and the ground blame the air on the ground you know but like Scotland How are you yeah? We had a fucking proper time in Scotland How many Guinness's do you think that you had? We also had a baby Guinness shot for the first time those are delicious those are delicious and the reason they call him baby Guinness is because they look like a

little Guinness baby Guinness I would say Yeah a couple dozen He's gasping over there he's over love it listen I've always the stuff you know it's so fucking funny fucking funny yeah Frank why is this upset you I I didn't like Guinness when we were 19 let it go it was over 10 years ago even a couple yearsness when we were 19. Let it go. It was over 10 years ago. But even a couple years ago, when we were recording episodes of the Basement Yard podcast,

which you could find everywhere, you would openly say, I don't like Guinness. It's gross to me. And you know what? I'm not gonna give you too much- What do you want out of this interaction? Nothing. I literally was just gonna say, I'm not gonna give you too much shit, because I understand our palette changes as we grow up and we experience more of the world. But clearly you don't. I do! That's what I'm not that's why I literally was just gonna say I'm not gonna give you too much shit because I understand our palate changes As we grow up and we experience really you don't I do that's what I'm saying

There's no need to bring it up. I'm I brought it up bitch now what I said I liked it, and then you're like you didn't like it ten years ago. It was just a decade ago You said you didn't like it's it's Joey You and I need to hold each other accountable so as we grow up in life, and we Like things that we previously had not like we're gonna bring it up, so you've done this to me, too You like the same things that you've liked but since 2009 and then there's some other stuff that I've also liked too which ones Nothing I like watches I used to make fun of watches True I used to make fun of them, but see I grow I blossom into this beautiful butterfly that you see in front of you.

So you're allowed, but I'm not. No, you are. That's what- I just said I'm not gonna- I'm not gonna give you too much shit! But you gave shit. We gave- You handed me shit on a platter. Well, so we took the red eye into Edem- Edinburgh? Am I saying that right? Yep. Because it's not pronounced-

Edinburgh? It's not spelled that way. It is spelled Eden-burg? Edinburgh. Yeah. I think the G-H is just like grr. Yeah. It's not spelled that way. It is it is spelled Edinburgh Edinburgh. Yeah, I think the gh is just like Yeah, it's not like girl. Oh, bruh, and then some of us it was a little tough on some of us You know I can't sleep on planes you I barely slept so we were pretty tired mm-hmm Best way to stay awake was with a couple Guinness a couple a couple again

I see in a castle to love the cat there was a big bitch there, dude. I can't even We went to the Edinburgh castle and there was a like chapel on the grounds And there was a sign outside like this was built in 1130 Yeah, it's old. How is that even a real year? You know what I mean? Oh, and then when we were in were in Dublin we saw the book they're like this book is from 800 I'm like that doesn't even sound it doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense because like before like 800 I'll be really honest with you it's hard for me to conceptualize things before the year 1900 like before 1900 it's like this is an ancient relic I mean yeah but like it's hard for

me to realize that and conceptualize that now you're going another 1100 years prior the year 800 that's a joke and who's keeping track of years at that point there were people like scribes yeah but I don't think they were just like oh that welcome to your 801 I think they probably can like carbon date some of the things no they had calendars didn't the Mayan calendar was like all this hell in the Mayan amongst the Mayan people yeah I don't think they were like in Scotland they were like what are the Mayans saying here it is so you're saying that no one was keeping track of the days of course they were but they probably were all scattershot they were probably like

Over here was one day over there was another so they've had to like kind of try to like loop it all together I Don't even know what you're trying to say you're saying like the years are completely off I'm saying they might have been off like the way that they had kept time and like tracked it But like now because of like oh this happened They say this happened in this year and this happened this year So it probably happened in this year and they can use carbon dating I think that you're just trying to like make yourself understand it. So you're like, there's no way they got it, right? Yeah, which is not fair. But for 1900 everyone was stupid in, in my opinion. Like, there were no smart people.

How many are there now? Good amount. You know, us. Well, what? That was a hot start. Us? I think there are smart people. But like, you've never thought of like, if you were put in like the Wild West,

you wouldn't like rule the town because of how smart you are. We just talked about this. Oh, like today, if you put me in the Wild West? Yeah, if you like time traveled back to the Wild West you wouldn't like rule the town because of how smart you are we just talked about this oh like today if you put me in the Wild West yeah if you like time traveled back to the Wild West or like the medieval times dude no way Frank are you insane you in the medieval times well you're just the smartest guy in the world what are you gonna do dude these people fight each other with swords what are you gonna do in that situation you give me some time I think I'd be also they had poison back then people are getting poisoned well because they well they had food testers right so they'd be like you know chew my food they don't die I'm good

you know also I prepare my own food how do you plan on taking over the town in a medieval village well I would have to be a good fighter I would bring a lighter with me you would bring a lighter I'd bring a lighter with me oh so you're walking into a time machine. So yes, that's what I just said. Like your time machine displaced. OK. And I'd bring some stuff with me.

I'd bring a lighter. Yeah. I would bring. They'd probably kill you as a witch immediately if you showed that. No, because I'd be like, yo, you're crazy. I'm hexing all of you guys. Watch this.

Fire from my hand. That's what I'm doing. Yeah, but you can't hurt anyone with a lighter. Yes, I can. How? I burn them. Frank, if I you can't hurt anyone with a lighter. Yes, I can how I burn them I have a sword and you have a lighter. I'm cutting your head off. I Don't I don't think I don't think that I don't think so you're like, oh, I have a lighter I could just oh, yeah, oh a bow and arrow even ask me what else I was bringing. I'm bringing a handgun

With a good amount of ammo, but you did with a good amount of a good about bringing a handgun with a good amount of ammo but you did with a good amount of a good about have a handgun I'll go get one if I know like oh tomorrow I'm going on this time machine I'm bringing a handgun with me okay you know and I'll bring a backpack filled with ammo a couple lighters you're just going back to raise hell okay good

they'll be like yo oh yeah bang now what I wouldn't even want to take over of it like if I had a time machine I don't think I would go back to like medieval times or oh I wouldn't either but if I had to if you would you rather go in the past or in the future past but where would you go um so here's the question there's so many questions I have Well, there's one question that came from the question person the question asker and then you're supposed to give an answer I have questions that will dictate my answer Am I in my current form and is my at the time version of me there?

Or is it just like I will take the version of whatever time I am in so like so like am I going to if I go back to third grade you're not going to look like this okay so that's my question oh your brain will be in your body if you like you're so you would go back in your timeline yeah I would I would I would do that 100 100 million percent you wouldn't do that at all go back to like when I was like 16. Yeah, I mean 16, 6, whatever you want. You can 20, you know, like last week you could go back, you know, like it doesn't matter.

But like right, but you could also go like way back and like, yeah, but then I'm just like a normal person in like the 1930s. What is cool about that? So why would you so where would you go? I'd like to I'd like to hang as myself like as like a six-year-old You know you want to put your 33 year old brain into a six-year-old Yeah, and then do what have a really fun time all your friends are six Frank This is weird. No, I don't care about other hanging out with other people so what are you gonna do you're not even

allowed out I'm gonna play with my toys six-year-old so that you have a bedtime and then and then you're gonna play with your toys I would like to do that yes I have all my toys play with the toys but then I would have the nostalgic effect like you're you're you're I would like to do that, yes. I have all my toys, play with the toys. But you won't even have the nostalgic effect, like you're- you're- you're- I would be like, I remember, these- these are like, yeah, cause I still have my current day brain. Oh, you wanna live deja vu. Just like, live for like a couple days, not too long. Okay.

You know? And then I would tell my parents, like, first of all, dad, come home. Right. Let's talk. There's this thing that's coming out called Google, called Apple Apple. Oh Apple had been out at that point. So was Google We were six. I think so right say Google Amazon Apple Bitcoin yeah, well, that's it. That's in the future. I would tell them about that too I would tell them that above anything. I would say I would say all of those Amazon Google Apple Bitcoin Uber maybe because uber blew up. I would say put money into those things as soon as you can

Don't fuck around do you think don't fuck around this is coming from the body of a six-year-old by the way Yeah, I think my dad would not take me seriously. I don't think anybody would. You think your mom would be like, yes, six year old Frank. And I'll be like, I can tell you things about yourself that you don't know that I know yet. So I'll fuck with him. But you can make that up, yo.

A six year old could say that to you. Like you're dark and be like. No, but like it would be real. It would be, I'm not saying like in the future. But like at that time, be be like by the way, I know What's currently going on with you? I know you haven't told us, but like I'm showing you I'm wise beyond my years here You've watched a lot of movies. I have too many

I love how that's that your plan is to play with your toys when you're six years old You could do that no, it's weird if I do it now okay I mean you'd still be you now in a body of a six-year-old I just think it would be cool and then I would tell myself school at six yeah right in first grade and then I would tell myself miss different D Filippis class yeah it was last name out there now yeah I would also tell myself Or my parents I would say like go buy as many Pokemon cards as you can Go buy as many like inbox Pokemon game you you realize you probably did say this at six and they didn't do it

They did not do it they're like, okay, I would just like I would really like I'd come out a Bagillion air yeah, I would hold so this is 1998 you're saying you go back to yeah I think I think we would do pretty well for us. Yeah, I mean I would I would definitely You know tell my parents and stuff like In three years stay out of Manhattan Yeah, that one I would probably I mean your parents weren't in Manhattan true, so I say spread the word about the island Yeah, I mean then it was so you think that people are not gonna listen to me about Apple Google Uber Amazon and Bitcoin yeah, but they're gonna listen to you about an oncoming terrorist attack that kills 3,000 people I'll be honest with you first of all. I'm not going back to

1998 if I had a time machine. Oh let me guess let me guess you're going back to 2013 so you could see 21 year old Joe and just be like hey stop shaving your head let's talk about the future also young and restless is not a good clothing brand investment right now you should probably stop wearing it so much. What reckless? I... Did I say restless? Yeah. Soap opera. That's a soap opera? The young and the restless, yeah. Do you watch soap operas? Is that a thing? No. Oh okay I was gonna say that's bananas but I wouldn't go back in my life I would go way behind that. So do what? See what it was like. I mean you can read about what it was like why do you need to see it?

Frank, you already lived this. You can just remember it. But I forgot it. Your fault. And I'm setting myself up for the future. So are you going to be like, hey, young Warren Buffett, let's talk about who I am to you and how I can, once I'm born in 1992, how we can work together.

No. I think if I had the choice to be like, you can go back to any time in life and experience that for a certain amount of whatever, like I wouldn't pick shit I've already experienced. Why would I do that? Crazy, because you wanna re-experience it, re-solidify the memory in your brain, the feeling,

so you could pass that along to future generations, whether they be your children, your brain, the feeling, so you could pass that along to future generations, whether they be your children, your grandchildren, or whatever. Instilling that sense of love and playfulness and childlike wonder, remembering what that is, reconnecting with your roots, and then give that to the next generation in order for them to maintain that is something that is wildly valuable. You don't think you can do that without a time machine? You can remember everything. You remember your childhood. I remember a lot, but there's a lot I don't remember.

Frank, you remember everything. I remember a lot. Yeah. But there's a lot that I don't remember. And that's okay. I just think that it is exceptionally more important. And maybe- Back in a time, by the way-

By the way. When companies were way more playful with their marketing and stuff, there is a way to go back. Maybe I go back and I buy some green ketchup. Maybe I go back and, you know, talk to Robert Downey Jr. and I give him the push to accept the Iron Man role. Maybe I go back and I lend a helping hand to a young Christopher Reeve before he rode on that horse. Just do as much good as I can.

These are all before you were born, no? Christopher Reeve, I think that happened in like 95. Oh, so when you were three years old, you were gonna help him off the horse. Or just say, hey, don't get on that horse, Mr. Reeve. All right. There's so much that I could do. The opportunities, the possibilities are truly endless.

And we started talking about this because we were talking about a book from 1,400 years ago. Nope, that's not right, 1,200 years ago. Would you go back in your life or would you go back a different time? Or in the future? I mean, you wouldn't go back before Twisted Teeth existed. Right, right.

I think it'd be cool to experience something that you have like just sitting around looking, but oh my god I'm sorry you went to Disney dude. You're fucking actually yeah, I mean I mean think about it. Why that's not interesting to me. I Want to go see the pyramids being built down alright. Yeah, I mean that would be super cool like imagine whoa they're being built But but yeah, but now what you're gonna come here and tell people and no one's gonna believe you It would be cool. Yeah, but we're going back to the same thing You can make the same argument that you're six years old and you're like oh invest in uber And your mom's gonna be like what the fuck is that yeah, it's a car it shows up

And it's it's on a phone. She's like I don't know what any that means and am I in a Like a bubble and I could watch? Or do I have to be on the machine? Sure, yeah, sure. If you want. You're in a bubble. Like the time machine, you know? Am I looking?

We're talking, what was that word? Westworld here. We got Westworld technology. You can kind of do whatever you want. If you want to pay for the service where you're just like a silent watcher. How about this, you can go back, but you're like your body,

but no one knows that it's you. You understand? Yeah, I get you. So like you could theoretically see yourself in whatever you go back to. Or you can go back and be like, Mom, Dad, I'm your son from the future. Yeah, I don't want to ruin everything. Let's talk. Guess what happens. I wouldn't do, I don't think you'd get a lot out of that. But imagine you could go back and just know these questions that people have been wondering for so long and you can go back and like actually figure not figure out but like Witness something like that would be cool. Yeah, I don't really care I don't know how we got from Scotland The hair because we were talking about how old those places are and that's the thing that is so cool about Europe too

Like in why you know I guess where we grew up is kind of like it because things get torn down and built up all The time so everything's like relatively new everything in this not everything but like a lot of the stuff in those cities are from Hundreds of years ago. Yeah, and they're very pretty. Yes, they are, but also their infrastructure is also clearly based off of things from hundreds of years ago because the plumbing and electric out there was not great. It's not perf. It's definitely not perf. We lost power in three straight Airbnbs. We did. Bang, bang, boom.

Three days in a row. No power, no power. Just because someone plugged in, by the way like not like plugged in like dumb Did a dumb American thing and like plugged like an American plug into something it was a legit? Yeah Scottish plug Yeah, and they fuck it went we lost power and then Mikey filmed it I Imagine it'll be available in some capacity, but yeah, it was not fun To lose power yeah

Yeah, no, I mean it we didn't lose power for a long time. It wasn't that bad Yeah, we went through the blackout you remember the blackout I Would you go back on a time machine to go experience the blackout again? Why it was kind of fun It was I mean from what I remember I was actually in Connecticut for most of it I wish I was older for that so that might like cuz I know I'm getting the trouble Get into trouble. I'm saying I wish I was like 19. I would have been danger full dangerous why? That's like a thing Ruby says that so no no no I'm saying why would it be dangerous? being a 19 year old in a

Blacked out New York City for a week dude you would have, you, us, would have gotten into trouble I think that would have been cool, we played like soccer or something didn't we? I was in Connecticut for most of the summer, but yeah during the day but like bro at night remember there were like I remember the small amount of time that I was here there were like cops on every single corner because like it was probably a story I had no power for a week yeah that was crazy that was I was trying I was taking like naps in the middle of the night naps but like my dad would have the car on so we could sleep with AC because it was hot as hell yeah

oh wow I didn't even think of that yeah so hot that is crazy I'm right now was sleeping in the middle of night then the lights came on I was like I mean remember everyone thought it was another terrorist attack. Yeah, what was that? 2005 I want to say oh so not that far away. Yeah, I would have been scared. I this is such a weird Thing that maybe has it doesn't add to the story at all, but I remember Hearing like a loud noise outside Which I don't know if that's like real or if I'm making that up now Because it's been so far, so long since this thing

And Hey Arnold was on the TV and it was Helga Pataki And she was like confessing her love for Arnold or something and the TV shut off And I was like what the fuck? Like who turned the TV off? And then everything was off Who interrupted my Hey Arnold? Who interrupted Hey Arnold great show That was a pretty good show great sick bedroom that kid had let me tell you not many bedrooms I wanted to have that weren't mine

That was one of them a hundred percent you loved your bedroom that much like my bedroom Which one because you've had three bedrooms? I actually had four in that house. So which was your fave? Uh, I mean my fave was when I was older like a high school and I had like my own little space the basement. Yeah That's fun. Go down to the right you mean to the right? Yeah I used to have the one to the left before that right by that good time I used to sleep with a knife under my pillow. Yeah, which people apparently think that's crazy. Yeah No, no one was breaking into your house, but we had a great time in in Scotland. We went over to England

We had some proper. We have some facet proper points. Yeah, we did bangers and mash Where's I didn't have any bangers in mesh? I had I had some sort of banger. What's a banger? Oh, there's a sausage in your mouth. Yeah. Yeah. There was just bangers in your mouth? People were banging your mouth? I see what you're doing here. That wasn't happening at all. We saw, uh, we saw Buckingham Palace.

Buckingham Palace, which was super okay. Yeah, it was alright. I was expecting more, to be honest. Big Ben blew me out of the water! Big Ben was huge! Big? Hey, you listen. People talk about how big this thing is, and they're right,

but no one talks about No, it girth of it. No one talks about how wide and thick big Ben is big Ben's a big thick Ben like big guy and Shiny shiny how do they keep it so clean? Oh? I don't know what is going on over there It probably has a lot to do with like the crown and stuff like that They're cleaning that there lock cleaning and polishing all like the gold over there was like holly brother It was shiny as hell and also oh

Big Ben big bad big Benjamin. I will say from a distance. You're like that's just a big clock You got up close to this thing, and it's just like that's a big clock it's a big fat Ben yeah it was a big old one oh my god dude the London Eye saw from afar yeah I get it it's a circle it's a circle when you're looking at the London Eye the best the best part about the London Eye is that if you turn around you could see big bad bad big Ben right there being big Ben right there he He's pretty best part. He's pretty big Yeah, he's big and there's also just like a lot of just old shit in that area Spiky fences around big Ben you remember that big spiky fences and like touching it on my touch

These are a killer person well because they were they had to keep out intruders Just in case someone someone wanted to scale Ben, but like you touch it bro. You fall on that thing It's done You legitimately if you took someone and threw them on it. They'd be impaled. Yeah, dad They got to keep Ben safe, so maybe what they're doing is they're polishing the gold Yeah, they're looking up at Big Ben, and they're like whoa, and they're just like keeping the Keeping the fence pointy yeah, they like like filing it down and stuff like that

They're just like no one's gonna get to our friend Ben No one's gone. Do it. It's a very spiky fence and a very big Ben They used to kill people by just like throwing them on spikes right? Yeah, that was crazy Yeah, it's not I wouldn't want to have that to happen no way I like touch the fence and I was like oh my finger can you imagine being impaled bro if you're very much from way then you're not living dude no way you land on that like maybe if you land in the water

because there's the the River Tim's right there yeah but you maybe no way but like you land on one of those pointy fences I got it I gotta be really honest with you yeah I'm up a pointy fence like an iron pointy fence a dangerous fence our fucking elementary school and my high school had those what it had a pointy fence yeah yours did yours did too, right? A lot of like old schools in Queens have pointy iron fences, dude. I remember our fences but I don't remember them being pointy. Hell yeah, they were pointy, brother. Do me a favor. Look up on Google Maps our elementary school. Oh. What? Just to prove a point.

I know what it looks like. I'm just saying I just don't remember. Yeah, there were pointy fences up there. I do remember I pushed a kid named Demir, one of our friends, into a fence at a certain point and they had little kind of spikes on him and he chased me. Demir famously, by the way, never got his paws on me. We said like, hey Demir, like let's reconnect and talk. Message him, left on read brother. Absolutely.

That'll bring you right to the basement. I have a question for you. Did you have a proper English practice While we were out there yeah, no, but I did the last time I was there and it was great They want toast dude is good. I said that I had an English breakfast and an Irish breakfast I think the only difference is like the whole like pudding situation Look on what ones a black pudding ones I think well I think they call it different things like I don't I don't want to get into it and the Irish people will fuck me up, but like white

There was also a white pudding on the Irish breakfast white pudding. Yeah, it's like rice pudding. No. It's white It's so there's black pudding which is like pig's blood and stuff and then white pudding Which is just like fat and like animal balls or some shit and I gotta say the balls were good they were not the balls but like the puddings that were presented the presented puddings were delicious yeah I really liked them they figured it out dude love beans too you know how I feel about beans dude beans and toast is good why do people shit on it well I think they shit on it because it's just like it's such a strange combination You know like beans are and I know we're speaking as filthy dumb

You know I mean American beans on a hot dog. That's bread and beans, but the hot dog is the star of that Yeah, like the hot dog is the the hot dog is the guardian of the galaxy You know what I'm saying like it's not a side player in the movie. Like the beans on top are meant to accompany the hot dog. Where the beans on toast is just like beans on toast. Yeah, but that's like a side. It's not like that's your full breakfast is beans on toast. Like there's other stuff.

That's a big part of the breakfast, dude. Those are both very filling. I think everyone gets to shine though. I agree They have like it all spread out It is also just like a random like assortment like who in their right mind would have been like beans for breakfast I Don't know I can I don't hate it. I like it. I love beans Yeah, but just with everything else it was just like all right This is a strange, and then there were bangers on there. There was puddings on there eggs on there

You know eggs. How do you was this your first fish and chips that you had proper? No, but fish and chips is good. I don't know what kind of fish is that I don't even know cod I think right and have you ever had fish and chips? Yeah, I don't like it. I will say The chips out there are better. I think so well because there are potatoes everything of our food over here is trying to kill us I wish I had a dollar for every time you said that while we were there Frankie would eat everything back. This is so good. You know why? Because there's poison in American food. I mean there is there is there isn't it yeah, let's be honest. I'm being But like it just everything was just better and the Guinness the Guinness was great

Guinness and we learned how to pour it oh But the G a few times we didn't split the G a few times Joey split the G You know G once but like you are you are on a roll for a sec. I don't know if that's good or bad It's probably great. We got an insight We went to the Guinness Factory, which was amazing if you guys are ever out in Dublin go to the Guinness Factory It's like Willy Wonka and the Guinness Factory. Yeah, it is. It's very colorful. There's screens. There's things moving We walked into one room, and I thought we were in Lumen like it was like it was it was white Yeah, it was white yeah everything was white very white very

white and then there were just like little things to smell remember that there was like these pillars yeah and there was smoke pillowing out of them and then you smell them and it's like that's yeast and then so there was like this is yeast this is that and then there was this other shit and he's like this is like there was a word for that I can't remember but he's barley no no no it was hops No, it was the thing that he was like this is what the guys would come home It was like the sweetened something and they yeah, and they were like sweet Yeah, and like oh their wives loved them because they smelled like this and then at the end of it. He was like

Which one was your favorite scent and I was like the guys? at the end of it he was like which one was your favorite scent and I was like the guys yeah and then we went and then we had a Guinness and then and then they they do your picture on the oh yeah I forgot about that they do your picture on the Guinness I just got to say this we did have a competition on who had the better Guinness for Frank and Mikey Mikey Mikey and I won. Yep, and uh, I I was fully ready to concede. I thought my poor looked like shit The expert though the exit he knows he knows but I also like before that I was just like say it's mine, please I don't know if he actually listened or if he like legitimately, you know, I guess he's been there was a camera around So he probably felt he had to yeah, He might have been tampered with you you

tampered with him But yeah, no the Guinness factory was a really good time And then they have a bar on top of the factory oh yeah like a panoramic view awesome. Yeah, it was awesome I had like a moment like looking out and just being like I'm in Dublin with Dublin. Yeah, I will say just as a whole Pub culture out there is very different. Like Americans, like in America, when you drink, you drink to go. You know what I'm saying?

Like you drink to get drunk. Over there, it's like very casual. Like for lunch, they'll have a pint or two and then go back to work and just be like, let's do the rest of our day. I also just love how, maybe this is like, I thought it was interesting that there was so many women also like outside the Irish pubs drinking beers. Cause I feel like that's not something you really see. Yeah, cause Americans were just like, you're a lady?

Here, I have this skinny little mini, binti-tini-dibi-peenie-peenie for you. Yeah, where it It's like man You want something drink this fucking? Beer yeah But like and also there's a lot of guys like out in suits and stuff in the middle of the day or whatever and they're just Outside I'm like this is so awesome. It was like it is crazy. Just like how Not of a party atmosphere. It was you know what I mean? Like bro, we were there when we landed in London,

it was like Monday afternoon. Yeah. Pubs were filled. Like, and like not afternoon, like 4 PM. Like people might've gotten off work early. Yeah, it was like two, one. Yeah. And like, I'm not even talking filled,

like inside was filled. Inside was filled and then the street and across the street outside that we need to bring. We do here because we had it during COVID but then it's gone where it's like you can go into a pub, get a pint and then stand out on the sidewalk and they, they, they make all the pubs with like a shelf so you can put your beer right there. And not even just, not even, and not even just like immediately outside. Like remember that one we went to before the London show people were across the street

Yeah, down the block on the corner, and then they bring their glasses back. Yeah, this is you know Americans We would we would have taken that shit so quick. Have you ever taken a glass from a beer place? I'll tell you someone who has my mother. Oh, I stole two of them, bro I was like the fuck are you doing? I know an old white woman that also steals like glasses and wine glasses from bars Like it's just like a food not like often, but like has done it who back his mom Back his mom dude Her mentality. I think it's she's done it. I think like twice, and she's just like I paid for this

I'm taking it and it's like that's the wildest most American you paid for the thing in the cup Yeah, no my mom was like oh, these are really nice, and it had like the breweries logo on it yeah, I Was like taking one I was like taking two is insane what yeah? I think that's I think after the second time Becca's mom was just like I probably shouldn't do that again We walked outside. I'm just hearing cling cling. I'm like what the fuck is that you steal glasses I love taking stuff and just saying it's theirs my dad when we would go to cracker barrel would steal

Without exaggeration every time at least 12 or 13 of the mini bottles of the cracker barrel syrup See like pancakes here? Yeah. You was he going to do with that? You put it on pancakes, brother. Really? Oh, you have you ever been to a Cracker Barrel? I'll be honest with you. I've never been there. I don't know what it looks like, and I always get it confused with crate and barrel.

Yeah, that's fair. I used to think that you would go buy furniture, but there was also food there. That sounds talked about. Well, that's Ikea. And it sounds great You've been to a Cracker Barrel never it's it's like it's called like the like Cracker Barrel old country mill It's like, you know like southern Style food where it's just like, you know, I'm great fried chicken, you know chicken fried steak pulled pork

Oh, I don't know. I haven't been in quite a while. I don't think my body can physically handle going back Is it like fast food is a buffet? It's like I hop It's like a chain like I hope okay, but like not as bad as I hop but like I hop you know what I mean I hope does pancakes well. No, they don't they do I won't say I've never walked out of an I hop and been like That was yummy. I've walked out and said like Walked out of an IHOP and been like that was yummy. I've walked out and said like What is happening in my body could only be attributed to like Robert Oppenheimer? Something going on with you. I think that pancakes are just pancakes

Definitely is something you've had a pancake that tasted different than other pancakes. I have tastes the same No, I've had better pancakes better like whether they're buttermilk or like people do like whole wheat pancakes But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying like just a pancake, a regular pancake I've had, there is definitely a hierarchy to pancakes Really? I've never felt a difference in pancakes I, they look, the way they look, yeah You definitely, then you're not having enough pancakes I'm not having enough pancakes So then you need to up your pancake game

Because a good pancake and a bad pancake there is like a fucking kilometer difference between the two But I forgot what I was saying Did I did that great but a crackin crackin barrel crack cracker? But like the front is like you could get like you know like little like little trinkets and stuff like that like you could buy like a Flamingo pot for your front porch, or you could buy like a flamingo pot for your front porch or you could buy like Old-timey 1920s bubblegum like it's just weird and then it's a restaurant in the bag

They sell merch at this place. Yeah, and Then like in the back. It's like Hard Rock Cafe in the never bet you just gasped and that was crazy I've never been in a rock hard. It's like Rainforest Cafe Rock Hard Cafe. Yeah hard rock brother You've probably been to a rock hard cafe The rock hard you saw Big Ben you went right to the rock hard Honestly, maybe and you've been to you've been through a rock a hard rock Now we went to the rehab pool party in in Vegas oh You've been to you've been through a rock a hard rock

We went to the rehab pool party in in Vegas oh You didn't want to rehab pool party in Vegas. Yeah I know but yeah, no, I don't think so like so cracker barrels known for their maple syrup Okay, and we would go we so all the times We like drove down to the south to see my family When my dad would drive us we would stop at Every Cracker Barrel on the way which guess how many Cracker Barrels there are on the way to Jacksonville, Florida hundreds, bro at least 15 and

Without exaggeration breakfast lunch and dinner we would stop at Cracker Bar because my dad was obsessed and he would get there And he thought he was running like a Lufthansa heist level fucking racket Where he's going in and they're like he orders pancakes, and he's like bring me five bottles of your syrup You don't need to you know we know we already know about my five bottles. We already know about my father. They're like nips they're nips and then they would go and He would they would bring them and he put them in his like jacket and my dad was wearing Like Adidas track suits that had like the jacket like the pocket in here was like mesh on the inside

So the fucking waiter or waitress would come they drop the bottles and then my dad would put him in his pockets and they'd come back and be like how's everything doing everything okay he's like I never got my bottles of uh and they're like oh my god I'm so sorry and they'd go and he'd do that another like time. Why does anyone need that much syrup? My father is clearly diabetic. That's so weird. Would he just drink them?

No, he would put them on his pancakes. But like why would you, but you're in the place where they have the syrup. I don't know. Why would you need more? I don't know dude. And like you don't have pancakes in your car. But then he would leave with them right at his house We would open his fridge, and there was on the fridge door

Dozens of nips of Cracker Barrel syrup. It's so unnecessary So stop much money as a next to it. He would have a regular sized jar of it that he would buy so he would Basically get a two-for-one special How much money does he think he's saving by dropping these places of syrup my father come on? It's unbelievable. We would walk out and he would be giddy Got him again Get the car got him again because he would think like get in the car get the fucking car I pulled way over on damn and the wall over your eyes

pockets were so heavy with these glass bottles of maple syrup glass yeah the pocket would hang out the bottom like elastic of his fucking track jacket this guy would think like I got him and they would just be like alright See you later like they fucking clearly knew that's so crazy. It was also They're probably just like dude. You're not like we will give them to you if you want if they're free Just

And we will give you this free maple syrup that we're offering. Damn. Oh man. I've never been there so I don't, I don't know. Save yourself the time. I love syrup though dude. I know. I do too. But if you had a bowl, like a regular bowl, right? Of like a cereal bowl, but it was filled with syrup and you had a straw, how long has it taken you to finish? Oh. I'm dying before I finish that bowl, dude.

Let's say... Let's say there's no health repercussions. No health repercussions on you. It's still very sweet. Yeah, I put like real maple syrup sweet and like, you know, fake, you know, like old county mill or whatever it's called. Oh, pearl milling. Something like that That is like. I can't have that but like real maple syrup. I could probably get a cup or two down

That's so crazy. I mean I'd hate myself immediately after You ever see videos of people just like chugging like well. That's what I a bowl of maple syrup is what is in my morning routine now. What? I shoved my face into a bowl of maple syrup. Oh, I see what you're doing. I was like, what are you talking about? TheBasementYard.com, size The Basement Yard! Don't forget to go to TheBasementYard.com! Well, everyone is talking about this whole morning routine.

Ashton... Hall? Hall. Thank God I wasn't going to say what I thought the real last name was Kutcher. No. I was going tate Ashton Hall it's been everywhere. We haven't gotten a chance to talk about because we were in Europe. No day. I died it. Yeah Released his morning routine and he's been doing it. I've seen this guy Josh always sends me his videos Why I mean first of all guy is? Shrunk up shredded like a bag of mozzarella guess Guys guys shredded huge like Big Ben Bringing that back he wakes up. He tapes his mouth

So have you done that no I have not Have you done anything with No, I have not. Have you done anything with sleep before? Like a mask or? I mean, I've had to do, there was like a summer where like my snoring was bad, so I had a mouthpiece. Summer? Yeah, honestly, and then it just stopped.

Okay. I had a mouthpiece, but like all these like, get slim quick schemes of like sleeping with tape over your mouth or something like that bro there's this thing on tik tok where people have like it's the tik tok shop so they make a video and they talk about a product and if they people buy through their link they make money so people just make up the wildest stories

and there was one I saw where it was like they picked a random celebrity and it may have been I it probably wasn't Tom Hardy but like they'll do, they'll be like Tom Hardy is saying that people are getting uglier and this is why. Wait, hold on. And then it's like if you tape your mouth then your jaw, like they'll show people like a before and after where they're like this. And then the next photo, they use tape, like this is just after two weeks.

And they're like 100 pounds lighter. Do we know for sure if Tom Hardy is calling people ugly? No, we don't. So how do you know that this marketing technique is not based off truth, Joey? Because the whole thing is a fallacy,'s why I'd be afraid to see Tom Hollins out here and says all you guys are fat pigs yeah but like I spoke to

Jimmy Kimmel last week and he said everyone is disgusting as hell have you ever worn one of those nose straps when I was younger like the the sticky ones but not the magnetic ones those are amazing they just like didn't you say you wore one and you could like smell like the sticky ones but not the magnetic ones those are amazing they just like didn't you say you wore one and you could like smell the earth or something

bro I literally I've never had that much I've never had that much I've never had that much oxygen why is it so hard for me to say you still fucked it up you've never had that much Oxygen why is it so hard to me to say? You've never had that much oxygen see you got a pause I've never had that much I've never had much oxygen much oxygen much oxygen. I've never had that much oxygen. There you go there we go in my nose like I had like There's like a bendy thing in this thing and it sticks your nose and it opens up your nostrils like this

Yeah but like I don't like you don't get that thing We're like when your nostrils too clean your nostrils are too like unobstructed and like it's cold It's cold up there. Yeah, and it's freezing and I want warmth back in my nose I agree, but it's not like that because it only opens up like this part. It doesn't open up like your Sinuses yeah, so it's like you know, but I like it a lot. Well, yeah So he's taping his mouth. He's waking up waking up at like 321 a.m. Listen, I don't know

Ashton Mm-hmm at all. I think he's a former NFL player if that's not mistaken I have no idea. I know that there's a lot of discipline that comes with being a professional athlete If you don't need to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning Don't wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Yeah, and if you do Shut up about it 4 a.m. Wake ups just like the only people that tell you that they wake up early Are the people that wake up early, you know what I like that's not what I meant know what I like that's not what I meant how people at the base of your dot-com slash

abase me are you oxygen the only people that like I'm just gonna stop should be good because I feel like you were gonna repeat the same thing what you're trying to say is people only people that talk about waking up early are like the people that do it for no reason You know what I mean? It's just like I get up every day at 4 a.m. Now

Yeah, it's just like way to go way to fucking go, but 4 a.m. Is a little early He also says he goes to sleep at like 8 p.m Crazy. Yeah, just kind of wild That's what I was gonna say the same people that say that usually go to sleep at 6 30 p.m. Like Mark- Yeah, Mark Wahlberg's another one. He's like yeah, I'm up at 310 getting it and he's just like doing well He wakes up that early to just pray he does have he stays prayed up as he says stay prayed up. Yeah There's a video of him praying in his house, and he turns around he's like Stay prayed up. It's like come on mark. It's 4 a.m.. No one's watching

I mean, it's better than what he used to do back in his old days. There was some stuff there There was some stuff Yeah, I don't know but anyway this guy wakes up. He does the face cold plunge thing Okay, I've never done it. Okay, and it's with Saratoga water yeah, have you ever had Saratoga water? I know I've never heard it. Okay, and it's with Saratoga Water. Yeah. Have you ever had Saratoga Water? No, I've never heard of it until these videos. Oh, I've had it. Which, if I'm this dude...

It's good water. It's expensive water. If I'm this dude, I need millions. I mean, I can imagine off of this video alone this guy got... If some company has to be coming in being like, Yo, use our water, we'll pay you this much. And it would be worth it for them. I mean, I think I saw something that was just like Saratoga water their

their sales skyrocketed after this yeah hey everyone is I mean all the people parroting pair parodying parodying all the people parodying all the people doing a parody of this bought all the people doing a parody of these videos bought a lot of Saratoga water And it's oh my god. Yeah, it's tough But yeah, so he wakes up and he goes to the pool And he just like and then he just does sprint workouts, and he's just sprinting, but he also has like a bodyguard That he has with him god damn, bro if I This guy is yoked with a capital,

whoa! Whoa, dude. We just found out Frankie's type. No, no, I mean, dude, look at this guy. I mean, clearly whatever he is doing is working. There is a level of discipline that comes with that morning routine. Like he's also probably eating only like kale

You know what I mean like he uh I just don't get the whole like And the banana thing at 843 in the morning rub his face with it He rubs his face with the banana peel which I don't know why the science behind Oh, no, is it is this being marketed as like an alpha male thing? Have the alpha males taken this again? No, I don't think so. Oh my god. I think it's just this dude doing his morning routine and like it's just like that.

I- is there- It's like ASMR too. Is there science behind the rubbing of the banana peel? None that I'm aware of. I didn't look into it, I don't know. Because honestly, the cold water in the face thing, that just a nice plunge yeah that's just an ice bath but just for your face to tighten up your skin right you know but like see I didn't even know that oh yeah well that's what that's what the cold water does hot water oh here we go so apparently rubbing banana peels on face

it creates glowing skin reduces wrinkles acts as a moisturizer hydrates the skin Helps in collagen production treats acne treats sun damage and reduces under eye dark star also by the way what websites this from yeah This is just a photo. Yeah I'm good on rubbing a banana on my face. I mean if it were like Help it is said to Tighten sagging skin brighten complexion and reduce wrinkles. I mean, it's not impossible. I don't think it's impossible I don't think that rubbing your banana on your face like does nothing I just wouldn't want to smell like a banana all day

I mean I imagine cuz I doesn't he do this and then he goes and like works out and then showers and stuff and has a day Oh, yeah, so like it's not like he's just like before I leave, you know rubbing a banana peel on his face Yeah, I here's my thing. Mm-hmm. Clearly it's working for this guy good for him. Would you ever get Botox? No Because society has not placed a standard on me as a man To get Botox because aging as a man is different standard on me as a man to get Botox because aging as a man is different from aging as a woman. What does the aging as a woman thing have to do with what you just said? Well because like there's more pressures on women. I feel I am blessed my male privilege has provided me with the opportunity to not feel a societal pressure in order to get Botox.

No I'm saying would you get it? No, I don't want to. Now I'm asking how those things are related. I was making a point. I was on my soapbox, babe. Yeah, I know you're up there. No, but like seriously, like I don't want to, but also there is because there is less pressure on me as a man to age uh huh so like that is a real that is a real thing

I don't even- but I- I'm like confu- I'm legitimately confused by like what you're saying what is confusing about what I'm saying? you're saying no but your reasoning is like no because I don't want to right because I don't feel the pressure to have to look younger oh oh that's what you're saying I was like I don't know what you're saying

how are you not to to to to brother to do for you if you wanted both I said no talking about women yeah because of the societal standard and shit like that I'm not even talking about that I'm asking you my reasoning is because I don't feel pressure and I don't want to that I'm

understanding but when you started being like well there's pressure on women and I'm like you're a man so high I got up there my that was actually impressive honestly something Elmo I'm understanding, but when you started being like well, there's pressure on women, and I'm like Dear a man you saw how high I got up there my that was actually impressive on see something Elmo I'm just here's the thing what if we get to if we get to 50,000 patrons will you get lip injections? No way what about a BBL a? BBL will you be? Absolutely not also. I heard that's a dangerous procedure people have died really yeah all right. What about this? That's a dangerous procedure. People have died. Really?

Yeah. Alright, what about this? You know people get Botox in their pits so they don't sweat. Would you do that? No, because I don't really sweat much. Me neither. I'm not a big sweat man. I think if I had a big issue I would do it. Yeah, I mean I know people. Well, you don't sweat much?

No, no, my pits. My pits don't sweat. Oh yeah, your head sweats like crazy. Can you get Botox on your head to stop... See? I don't know. I would be afraid to like not have a moving head. You know? I knew a boy that got Botox and like he literally was just like, Hey!

Just like that. Hey! If you found out, like if there was like legit signs to out there's like yo by the way this banana peel thing is legit Mm-hmm you gonna start Yeah, why not I eat bananas pretty regularly so you just eat the banana and just just kind of bing bing bing But I do like moisturizing. I don't like the feel the bananas leave on your hand. It's like this You know what I'm talking about. It's like it's it's a little it's a little like slippery but like rainy to it stops I

don't know that I've had you know what I'm talking about we're like your hand like kind of like so I've run wide but like it's like you know I'm saying thank you and unbelievable we do have some more sponsors before the dolphin noises We get back to that, but we do have some more sponsors Listen we have rocket money.

London we stopped it like a convenience store you ever seen what like Real bottled lemonade looks like and what American bottled lemonade looks like?

No. Dude, look up like London bottled lemonade or any other country. Ours is like yellow or like opaque and theirs is like clear because that's what it is. It is, ours is just sugar water. Lemonade and like they're selling lemon water, is that what you mean? No, no, no, no, no, no, like real lemonade is not. Say that looks opaque to me, chief.

No, no, no, no, that's not the one I was talking about. I guess we're not gonna be able, it's gonna be too niche to find, so it's not even worth like looking up. Gotcha. But yeah dude, everything here is just fucking dumpster fuel second time got him second time what the Americans are poisoning us which is

happening yeah we're getting poisoned for sure yeah it's all right it's fine we'll have a fun time while we're doing it yeah we'll eat our just rub a banana on your face and you'll be good we were told that people when they go to America it's like they want to try the American fast food which is interesting I feel like that would be the last thing that I would want to try bro when we were at The hotel in Dublin we asked the concierge like oh like what what should we try and he was like oh spice bag? But blah blah, and he's like also you need to try Irish Burger King

We were like what he's like, yeah, it's like Incredible. Hmm. Like huh Burger King. I don't know didn't make any sense to Dublin also like I've when I was there and Then getting home like I've like been seeing shit on tik-tok. It's like a very underrated city for food Yeah, all the food that we had good food all the food we had there was great I tried my best to just get as much like traditional Irish food as I could yeah stews and pies and Big fat pie Bro, oh my god that Shepherd's pie. I had was crazy. What's up?

How'd you feel about the London food when I went I didn't really like. I I went to like a really nice Korean barbecue place. That was good Yeah, that was good. And then um We had like two or three times like Lebanese because everything close Lebanese food was great when we were there It was like stuff Legitimately was not open to eat past like 930. Yeah, we're our show. So the options were super limited. The shows are tough because it's like you have to order shit to the green room and you can't really find anywhere to eat afterwards.

You can do it in the States because things are open later, but... I will say that salad that we had before one of that London shows was probably... Nuts. I'm not even kidding, one of the best salads I've had in my entire life. It was unbelievable. I don't even remember the name of where it was, but it was a big fatty. Yeah, well. It was and it had a lot of shit in it. Mine had goat cheese.

Fantastic. Goat cheese. Hell yeah. Ugh. Dublin, that's where we had the good cheeses. Yo, I couldn't believe. I could not believe how good these cheeses were. I ate

Maybe a pound and a half of cheese before I went on to stage like not I had to remove myself because I was sitting right next to the cheese I had to remove myself because I was like I'm gonna eat this whole thing It's like I gotta get out of here. I had to remove myself the cheese was so good I Forget whose idea it was to put a charcuterie on the rider but i was subject it was like you and i we're just like let's listen for charcuterie so good unbelievable cheese man anyway

just wanna say you know this is our first episode of a recording you know after we got back from europe but honestly super crazy to uh... you know kind of do that I know for me when I like walked through my door and then I was like going to sleep that night I was like what the hell did we just do like that is it was so crazy to I don't know I think even now like if we're gonna like do a show or something

it's still scary to be like oh do people still care or like are they gonna show up or they bought tickets so long ago or like do they remember that the show is tonight and then going there and getting such crazy support and it was just like in every city there were people who were recognizing us and being super nice to us everyone at the Guinness factory was like super nice to us too like it was just it was just a wild Feeling and I and it's it's one thing for it to happen where you're from But then to have it happen in a completely different Sort of area and then also driving through towns that are not

You know giant cities or whatever and then people recognizing you there kind. That was also weird. It's like, I don't know, it just kind of put everything into perspective of how out of control and big this thing has gotten, you know, I guess with the help of the internet because everyone has access to that. But yeah, I just wanted to say, you know, it was really cool, you know, getting all that support from people and all the crowds were super nice. And yeah, everyone was just super fucking cool. It's hard to even imagine or not imagine. It's hard to put into words of what that felt like. It's a crazy feeling, honestly.

And I just wanted to say thanks. It was really cool. But I got nothing to add. None that. All right. And and yeah just wanted to say thanks and that is all you guys can go follow Frank the Frank Alvarez everywhere you know where to find us you know where he is and guys go follow the show at the basement yard and like Frank was saying earlier if you're gonna sign up for the patreon do it through like a website not on your phone because there's like a 30% thing.
