Joey's like, things are added. I'm just like, ugh. I'm looking at it. I'm like there's not any day off. Well, it's the polar bear-ization. That's what it is.
That's what it's gotta be.
That's what it is.
It's the polar bears.
Of these cities, any that you're really excited about?
I've heard a lot about barbecue in St. Louis and in Kansas City.
Yeah.
What are they called though?
What are those that's called something?
Missouri.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. barbecue in st. Louis and in Kansas City yeah what do they call the what are those is called something Missouri yeah I
don't know but like there's some bar I
hear that they'd I set hat ping I've
heard they had good food over there and
I'm excited get a rib fuck don't don't
fucking don't rip you know how I feel
about ribs yeah you know how I feel about ribs yeah you
know how I feel about like they get them all over your hands and ice while you
got one of the best like what are we eating and then this the execution is
just stellar you remember how we just talked about how you want we want to be
filthy ribs is when you're just oh a good and I'm talking like listen. I understand a dry rub. I get it if
If you present a dry rub option to me, I'm presenting an AK 47 to your skull
I want this thing to be the stickiest
Rippiest
filthy yeah
fucking soaking wet yeah, I
filthy yeah fucking soaking wet yeah I also everywhere I want to cut it open and then I want to squeeze it and have it piss on me dude when people cut
brisket or burgers then they do that thing where they flip it on top of each
other and they go like this and it's a thing is just fucking urinating all over
my fucking aluminum foil full diaper oh god I want a type I want a
diaper a brisket baby that's what I'm talking about yeah overnight diaper so
like they have extra moisture absorption no I'm saying to the specifics he's a
dad pull-ups too so you it does the work of blowout cover with the blowout cover
you need that blow up protection barrier okay yeah I want listen oh hear me out you just sucked in all the air what if
we have a barbecue joint we open a restaurant it's all themed after like diapers
So like it'll be like a
Curry brisket or curry flavored ribs, and it's in a diaper
You want to serve and hold on hold on and then like you get nachos and it's in a diaper
yeah or like a kid's toilet
wait oh you want to serve nachos in a potty
for some reason right the idea up here
was stellar one of the best as it came out your mouth as it made its way through
my neurological pathways
I don't think that it like I think I think
coming this way it didn't hit as well as I thought it was going to
I also think that but like I'm just talking about just like a filthy, you know, like the messier you get, the less on your bill.
You know what I'm saying?
I kinda like that.
Like, if you walk out of there just like a filthy, disgusting bitch, you pay less.
Like the cleaner you are, they give you a surcharge.
I saw something on the internet the other day
Hold on before I get into that just to reiterate
We're gonna do this multiple times. There's May 13th, which is tomorrow if you're watching this on YouTube
presale starts At noon I almost called it midnight at noon 12 p.m. Eastern Eastern everything looks set your phone
You set your phone to New York time, baby
Easter wherever you shall be upon this rock that we call earth
The basement yard dot-com the pre-sale code is basement be ready. This is a brand new show, okay?
It's not the same show that you saw once before it's a brand new show it is going to be so much fun
We are very excited and just to go over the cities again, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Diego,
San Francisco, Atlantic City, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Toronto, Detroit, Phoenix,
Vegas, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Philly, South Florida, Orlando, Tampa, DC, Boston, and of
course New York.
And if you for some reason forget that the pre-sale code is Basement, just remember that
it's where Joey first saw pictures of wieners.'s a pretty easy way to remember that why are you saying that
just if people need help well you get people if people for some reason are
like what is the code and then they just remember that the first time that you
saw a picture of a wiener whether it had been flaccid fully erect whatever it was
in your basement.
Why do you say, why, but why, what? I don't know.
Just in case they need help remembering. But I don't know if that's true.
That they won't remember? I think the chances are.
No, that was the first time that I saw a wiener. So where was it? In the bathroom?
I have a brother. I saw his wiener. Insane response. Was it in the basement though?
Probably not. Probably peeing. Probably peeing in the ba- we took baths together.
Okay, listen Joey. Chances are the first time you saw a penis was in your basement.
I think this is a way- You don't get to say that. I think it's a room in your house.
I think it's fair that the people, if they for some reason forget, they have that to fall back on.
You guys could fall back on the name of the show. name is the base sure that I know all the coats are basement sure that can help to that can help
You making up a scenario about me. I'm not making anything up
I'm suggesting some form of a student like some some way for the people to have a better understanding and help them remember
Making up is what I'm not making it up. I'm suggesting
making up Making up is what? I'm not making it up, I'm suggesting Making up
Um, but yeah, May 13th, pre-sale, basement, I was gonna say something and now I forgot
I shouldn't have done that
I shouldn't-
But we have to sell tickets
I think, uh, oh, do we go to that like, uh, do we go to a barbecue restaurant where it's just like they just have like a fucking dragon ribs or something?
What the hell are you talking like I'm talking like a table of ribs. I want to go to a restaurant that
My favorite restaurants don't have tablecloths on them, and you know what the fuck I mean
You know what I mean and like they don't serve your food on plates
They put it on paper, or they just give you a metal tray
Okay, you know I mean I've only been to a couple places like usually barbecue does that yeah, that's what I'm talking about
Yeah, so I think it's so I probably should you said barbecue might be my favorite
You know what I want to do. I want to go to one of those restaurants where they call you a bitch
No, dude. You know like you like dick like what dick's last resort. What's that?
I think that's what the plate the one that would like put a hat on you and it says like
fucking
Yeah loves to fucking eat marbles or some shit. Oh, I bet
That being the example that you had is so funny have you ever been to one?
No, I walked by one a ton when we like used to go to Vegas when we were younger
Yeah, and I like it was big. It's like Hooters. It's like the gimmick is just like oh boy
What are they gonna say I wait?
Didn't you accidentally go to one of these places?
When we were in Ireland, oh no, then the guy was like you ordered tea and the guys like that's gay
Yes, but he did it two days in a row, but no the second day
I went he wasn't there and I said what happened to him and they said like
They're filming a movie across the street, and they told him to leave
They were filming I thought he called you gay two days in a row the first day the second day someone else there called me gay
It was this is why I'm saying it might be a no
No, it wasn't like maybe it was the gimmick, but like it was a little hole in the wall spot in Dublin
That was like it was like dicks all over the wall or something there was dicks everywhere brother
See this must be one of those places, but no it wasn't a chain
It was just like I looked up like local I like googled like best English not English best Irish breakfast in
Dublin and it was like one of the first places that popped up
So I like looked at it, and I was like oh shit. This is right
Near where we were staying so I was like I'll just walk there, and it was covered in penis
No, so outside. I walk up, and it's just an old
And it was covered in penis. No, so outside I walk up and it's just an old grumpy Irish man.
Nice.
And I'm not gonna do the impression because I haven't gotten my Irish impression down yet.
Yeah.
But like, he's just like, are you American?
I'm like, yeah.
He goes, oh fuck, fuck you.
Did he really?
Yeah!
And I'm like, he's like, alright, how many?
I was like, oh just me.
He's like, you're dining alone? And you're an American you're a piece of shit like he was going off dude
Broke going off. I'm surprised you out of all people sat down there
I feel like you'd be like bro. I was by myself, and I was hungry and I was in a good mood
Okay, so I sat down at the bar by myself, and he's like all right
What can I get you an Irish coffee and bro? They had a giant thing on the wall a ju- like a magnum triple quadruple
magnum bottle of Jameson with like a spout underneath it and he's like you
want an Irish coffee? I was like no I'll take a tea and he goes you want a tea?
I'm like yeah and he goes that's so fucking gay
I'm just like
What it's tea was everything else normal
the food was normal the atmosphere was normal besides the penis of
abundance of cocks everywhere What is with I go? I don't know and we're they actual or then they just looked like penis
No, they were like meant to look like penises got it, and I was just like
This I don't know if it was like a restaurant gimmick
Or if it was just this old man at the door right and he was just he'd go from table to table
When you call another people gay yeah, hell yeah everyone in there was gay what yeah, dude
So they legit I'm not kidding they said they were filming a movie across the street and they had to
They told him like you need to not be here today for the filming of this movie
Wow, I don't know if that meant he was like a
fucking problem yeah
Chances are he was sounds like it, but yeah, dude and and like the food was great. It was good. The potential.
But it was also like, you know like that level of like, that age of men where they're like,
they call everything gay but then they act super gay with their buddies. Okay. You know
what I'm talking about? Like they were the ones that were like in the showers at football
practice and they were like grabbing each other's balls and stuff like that you've never
heard that like he was doing that where he was saying like joking around yeah
yeah it's just like well I'll fucking kiss you right now yeah you know like
something like that it was said you were gay and he said it I was very confused
because like a part of me was just like did you look at your receipt was there
like a slur charge I just realized how because like a part of me was just like did you look at your receipt? Was there like a slur charge? I?
Just realized how good of a joke that was cuz it sounds like search. Yeah, that was incredible. Yeah in retrospect
Yeah, just say that and if that makes it seem like a back pocket that pocket hey Josh
Oh, you don't even get to say anything he gets it. You know see what he's watching
but
Yeah, dude. I was crazy, but I've never been to one of those where they like verbally berate you
I think that would be funny, but I probably get my feelings hurt
Here's the thing yeah
and you know me I
Would be
Very good at that so like I
Probably shouldn't go to one of those places because it would just be a verbal spat
I would be nervous about going to a place like that with you because I feel like for the most part it would be fine
but I think if in a certain mood or a certain thing that someone said and
Once Frank starts going like okay, all right, then I'm gonna be like we got to leave now
Because this is gonna turn to Frank being like all right. I've had enough of this thing. I'm like okay, okay, okay?
I'm like fuck if I if like
Hindsight moving back in time if I could have picked my first ever job, and I knew that police existed
Right I should have taken that job
What was your construction your first job? No? No? No? I was a groundskeeper at Elmjack. That's right. You did tell me
Yeah, yeah, and then like a couple years later. I worked at like a medical like a sports therapy place just like filing paperwork
Yo, basically I would show up and we'd be out the night before until like 4 a.m.
And I'd show up in scrubs. Yeah, I would love a pair of scrubs
I think that scrubs are so cool such an underrated part of that world when dudes are walking around the city that are like
Nurses or doctors or whatever and they have scrubs on I'm like no no no no no no this is cool
I don't like that what I don't like that. I think that's awesome. You should
Let me tell them how to do their thing yeah, go ahead scrubs should be because in my mind
The reason they're doing that is one it appears like it's a medical thing
You know what I mean like it's only using that in that off field
So like the idea to me is that it should appear to be like it's sterile and like they're only wearing it within the
Confines of where they are
Bro, if it's like seeing your teacher during the day if I'm out and I see someone in scrubs
I am immediately take it's like seeing like Mickey Mouse take his fucking helmet off
You know what I'm just like you're a fucking teacher at the movies, and you're like you're not allowed to watch
Yes, what the hell yeah, dude. Yeah, I don't like it
All right
I mean I get what you're saying, cause like maybe you're like,
Dude, the scrubs that you're wearing in the surgery, you're like walking through Central Park with those on?
I imagine that they can't do that, yeah. I imagine that like they have to wear special gear.
Maybe it's just after work, it's like, oh I'm off my shift, I'm gonna walk to the bar, get a beer with some scrubs on.
I'll tell you this.
Single guy with scrubs in the city? Forget about it.
I'll tell you this. Single guy with scrubs in the city? Forget about it. I'll tell you this.
The rolling out of bed and throwing scrubs on and going to work is phenomenal.
Don't even have to think about the outfit.
Not even think about the outfit, but like, it's comfortable.
Yeah. I mean, you should wear like an undershirt under the top because the top just looks like it's it's like a like a like a small hockey jersey. You know right but
You know what I like wearing
You know when you gotta get a an x-ray you gotta wear the big jacket
Do you like it? Do you like weighted blankets?
Yeah, but I don't like owning it because like I can't fold it you like and fold a weighted blanket, bro
I mean unless you have the strength of ten men, what do you mean?
It's the same amount of weight.
It's just- As a blanket?
Wrong.
No, no, no.
It's not like folding it makes it a heavier blanket.
No, it's just like annoying.
It's hard to fold things that heavy.
Really?
I've never had a weighted blanket so I can't confirm.
I had one and like laying with it is great.
Like it helps you sleep and not move and shit.
But then when I'm up and I wake up, it's like, here's all right.
Here's the thing.
I am going if I'm going to get a weighted blanket, I'm getting the heaviest weighted blanket I could find.
I'm not doing like a a 10 pound for like a little bit of a hug.
I want like a 75 pound weighted blanket Because I like if I'm gonna feel brah, I'm a bigger dude. You know what I'm saying like I'm massive. I'm jump so big
You don't need that much to like but it's also done. They also would job the job of holding you down in bed. I
Don't know if I'm gonna be held down. That's what the blankets know
It's meant to just feel like someone is holding you. Not holding you down, dude.
I don't wanna be like fucking-
Bro, you get a 75 thing that you,
you fucking, you're down.
Well, it's also, they say that you need to be very careful
with kids in the house having weighted blankets
because like, that could be a nightmare.
Also, like, if you pick this thing up
and you drop it on a child, dead cur splat.
Well, bro, if you drop anything 75 pounds on anyone, they're not 75 pounds. I think
the one I had was like 10. Well, no, I've seen they have ones that go up to like
50, 60, 70. Who are those for? Giants? I'm telling you, you can look that up. They're, but they're
expensive too. They're like a couple hundred bucks. 60 pounds is insane. Why?
Not necessary. And also like, where do you put that?
You know what's-
How do you make your bed at 60 pounds?
You know what's funny is a couple years ago,
I got Becca a quadruple X,
like the biggest blanket that you can imagine
from this company.
Because Becca, you know, when we do like,
when we like lay around and watch stuff,
we like being cozy cuddly you understand oh yeah you know you're
big cozy cuddly guy and it was like a 10 foot by 10 foot blanket or like 12 feet
by 12 feet oh so you're all fucking tucked in a cocoon bro dude you can
literally fit all of us under it and then some like I can't start the only thing I didn't realize though
Is that folding it is the most yeah difficult thing in the world?
I hate it. You know
But but just to get all wrapped up like a flower in a bouquet
That's what I'm talking about. Just circle around. That's what I'm talking about
I hate throw blankets that are just short enough that like when I put it on my body
I either have to decide between it being here or in my toes being out or my toes being out and my nipples being out
No hate that yeah, I need my nipples covered. You know what we need here. We go big business guys back
Are you about to create a blanket?
No, I'm gonna do what the rest of the world is seemingly doing.
I'm gonna take the exact same product.
Yeah.
And I'm gonna put splashy words in front of it and market it only to men.
So men think like, what the hell?
Not this fucking target blanket.
Okay.
You know how they'll be like, here's a bar of soap, but we're gonna call it thick soap.
Yes.
Smoky gun. Yes. SMOKY GUN.
Yes.
SMOKING GUN SOAP.
Yeah, well it'll be the exact same product, but we're gonna put flashy marketing toward men words in front of it.
For just a blanket?
Yeah, it'll be like, Five O'Clock Shadow Throw Blanket.
And-
I think men think throw blankets...
...brankets?
Throw blankets are like gay
which is why
there's such a
Demand for men's throw blankets yeah, and it could be like this throw blanket is made with like ox tail fur
Yeah, and like it's it's scented with cigarettes and titties. Yeah. Yeah
You know what I'm talking about?
Cigarettes.
It's just, it's a market that has not yet been cornered.
And we need to get to it before the rock does.
Okay, because this guy, he took skincare
and just put his face on it.
And now it's a multimillion dollar industry for him.
You know?
That's the tough part, yeah.
So.
I love a good throw blanket, man. I love a blanket. You know what I like
Actually, I don't even know if I like them, but I like a part of them
You know the blankets that are like knitted by old women quilts. No, those are different. I can get it blanket
I know you're like crocheted blanket a crochet blanket. Yep
Sometimes I like having that and then I put my toes I know
I knew it I knew you could do that you put your toes through the holes and
you're like well where I knew you you flare your feet out and then I wear the
blanket like a sandal I feel good I don't like that they have such a draft
what I don't wear it what's that thing we're like it's like I like there's a
phobia that's there's a phobia that like people are afraid of like when there's too many little circles next to each other
Oh, yeah, I tripped up trip. You have the opposite of that where it makes you want to suck it and fuck it no
This anytime you have honeycombs you yeah
Anytime you had those like diner mints you would let them get porous suck them
Uh-huh you that you see holes in a blanket you shove everything you got in them not everything be very honest with me, okay?
No, I've never been in one of the okay
How do you know giggle giggle he goes yeah, right?
Yeah, I've seen it bang the blanket you ever bang a blanket. I've tried JD Vans mine
What is I've tried wait wait? What is I've tried? What is I've tried?
What is that more failed?
Well, it's in order to fail at something you need to try but like what do you mean?
You're too big for the crochet blanket. You couldn't even fit it in
Yeah, no well the only way to fail banging a blanket is to just not bang it right so chances are you banged it would you do?
I think he might be referencing the conclusion of that of said banging
Maybe it didn't get you to where you needed to go mm-hmm
so you bang the blanket and you consider that the
Not finishing is the failure
Yes
Correct all right um I don't want to ask more
questions because so moving on was it what color was the blanket maybe why do
you know because he remembers it's his story what do you mean why do you know
he's like was oh, maybe.
Was it your blanket or was it a family blanket?
Was it the one that got away is my question.

You know how like they have like
anime pillows that people marry
You know what I'm talking about you know I know that that has happened
I don't know that they're made to I don't know if they're made to be married
But they but none of us are technically made to be married but along the way we figure know that they're made to be I don't know if they're made to be married But they but right none of us are technically made to be married
But along the way we figure out that we're going to marry I mean tell that to the Christians, dude
Okay, I'm not gonna talk to them. I think that you've tuned out of this show a long time ago. Okay. Yeah
Hear me out
Marriable or
like the same thing with pillows, but they're blankets and like when you fold them
It's like you know like me like this
But like standing up and then you open the fold and it'll be mean fucking buck naked and it's and it's knitted
so like
You know what I'm talking about yeah it doesn't work
because I don't have a vagina but like say yeah say it was someone that does
have a vagina okay yeah the blanket is knitted so you know how you like to fuck
your blankets you too you just pointed me saying that well you you don't fuck
your blankets is what you're doing no I wear it like a sandal that's so different. Okay. What's the difference wearing a sandal and having sex?
If you don't know the difference
Just I think that this could be a multi-million dollar industry. I know that you think that well
Why not million dollar industry I know that you think that well why not what the fuck
you got glasses on too why are yours purple you look like a fly oh you do
doesn't it like a fly yeah like fly bro flies by the way low-key if you get
really close to one fuck them they're weird looking yeah fuck fuck fly do you
ever see the two big eyes are mad I I ever seen a like an a it really up close. They're like
Their mouths are like vertical. I know they go. I don't think have pincer well
They have mandibles. I think is what you're referencing right, but like I think they also have like mouths like us oh
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, but like flies
Do they have like a bunch of eyes am I making that up? Or they got to I think they have two eyes, but like in the eyes
It's like a honeycomb looking shape right and it's like they could see a bunch right, but they got two big goggles
What's it? What are you doing? Oh, you're gonna keep going on okay? What what what are you talking about?
Yeah, no, I I don't know shaded glasses is a choice, I will say that.
I love that, love that choice.
I once had a t-shirt with purple shaded glasses on it.
And what is that for?
It was Stewie Griffin.
You had a Stewie Griffin t-shirt?
I had a Stewie Griffin t-shirt and it was his face
and he had on aviators and I'm pretty sure,
maybe the shirt was purple,
but Stewie Griffin had on aviators on my shirt best shirt I've ever worn obviously. I mean, that's the best
What did it did say anything on it? No, I think about it. I had a lot of Family Guy t-shirts
Yeah, you did I had I like what did the shirt say nothing it just had
Yeah, I could find the picture, but I might have to just send it to aunt after I don't need to see
I don't need to see the photo
Sure yeah, it was a pretty cool shirt now that I think about it. Yeah, I know you had that you had a lot of
Serial t-shirts I have a question good, and this is a serious question. Oh, okay. Hold on good
Is there a problem with me liking to match
What does that mean?
Because like we were recording something the other day
and Greg was just like
Oh
Hey man
You're very matchy
You're very matchy and I was like yeah I like to match
and he's like what did he say something along the lines of just like
it's not 2009 anymore
or something along those lines
Something like it's time to grow up
It's time to grow up
Yeah yeah yeah What's the issue with matching because yeah, cuz you I think he was representing like your shirt your hat your shoes and maybe your pants
Well, it's funny because he is a I like Greg sense of style. I think he has a good sense of style
Uh-huh. I would also define his as matchy though
It's matchy. I
Mean isn't it's a pot kettle, right?
Yeah It's matchy. I mean isn't it supposed to- Pot! Kettle! Bang! Yeah.
Yeah. I think that it's supposed to match in some capacity, right?
Yeah, I don't know if it was just like a-
Supposed to go together.
If it was just like a I'm out.
Because I understand I am not always up to date with fashion trends, music trends.
You don't have to listen. You can just say everything.
Okay. Fashion trends, music trends, music trends. You don't have to list things, you can just say everything. Okay.
Fashion trends, music trends, pop culture. Like recently, Lynch also told me, he's like,
hey man, don't ever let anyone tell you
that skinny jeans are out of style.
I like my skinny jeans.
I like my clothes to be a little form fitting.
Do you wear skinny jeans?
Yeah.
Sometimes, yes I do.
And I have no problem with it.
Sometimes you do have jeans that are like whoa well, that's because
That daddy's put on a quit quite a little bit of thunder
You know what I'm saying. You're just storming right now. It's it the the forecast is Frank. Here's the thing
It's not you didn't put anything on you its power is what it is. That's what I think I mean I
anything on you its power is what it is that's what I think I mean I'm I'm I it's also about how I feel right but you feel powerful I don't feel as powerful I can
look exactly the same right and be active every day and I feel like I could
move a brick house if I wanted yeah but it is the power right I don't consider
myself out of shape I consider myself powerful or not powerful.
Right.
Does that make sense?
It does in Star Wars, I think.
They talk a lot about power.
Forceful?
That's not a good word at all.
That's not something I'm gonna call myself ever.
I'm very forceful!
That's a very different podcast. Not us.
Although your glasses indoors definitely seems to suggest that you're on that show.
Okay, relax.
I...
With...
Of...
The force coursing through you is what you're referencing.
Right.
Yeah.
Pivoting.
Mm-hmm.
So there was a story that came out recently.
Yeah.
And I wanted to talk to you about it.
There was a truck carrying...
$800,000 worth of dimes like the coins yeah and it's and it and it I
didn't think it was eight hundred thousand hot women just absolute yeah
it's not 2009 we don't refer to women as objects anymore
2009 we don't refer to women as objects anymore
Well, we don't right other people might I'm sure it does happen yeah
and It flipped over or it crashed and the money went everywhere. Okay, so thousand times my question for you is
How much money if you saw this on the side of the road how much money can you get away with?
How much money if you saw this on the side of the road how much money can you get away with?
And we're talking was it was it eight hundred thousand dollars worth of dimes, okay?
So not eight hundred thousand dimes right eight hundred thousand dollars worth of dimes
It's like the argument where it's like what's heavier a pound of feathers or a pound of brick So basically you're saying if there's eight hundred thousand dollars worth of dimes right here how much can I get away with yes is it just
on my person well it's on the side of the road so okay but you have can I like
funnel it into my car so you have you have 60 seconds okay 60 seconds of stuff
67 it's basically you load up and then you go to your car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like, what do you think you can carry at a time?
Yeah, you're not over there like taking a bucket and throwing it in your backseat type of shit.
Yeah.
It's just what you can get.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think if I walk over there, if I got a hoodie on...
Hmph.
Hoodie?
Oh!
Neck?
Well...
You didn't fill up my hoodie!
You did!
That's what I'm thinking!
Well, I was gonna say like
I would take a piece of cloth
oh you know what I would do?
take my pants off
tie the bottom?
but you're wearing jeans
what does that mean?
you can tie the bottom of your jeans
Joey who are you?
yeah well
you wear jeans more often than not
or shorts and in that case
you're triple fun yeah okay well how how many dimes can I hold let's do some I
will shove some in my pockets duh I could probably get like close to a
hundred bucks in my pocket right how much well how much I don't know how much
a dime weighs forget about how much a dime weighs forget
about how much a dime weighs I dimes are small I can probably fit like 10 dimes
is a dollar for those of you guys that want to D for fighting baby are in the
United States I can fit like 60 $65 of dimes in a pocket for those of you guys
that are not in the United States and may not be familiar with our currency system a
dime
10 cents 10 cents
10 of those make a dollar a hundred cents make $1
So you're thinking you could shove your pockets and walk away with $100. How many is that six?
How many?
650 dimes no what?
It would be a thousand How many is that? Six- how many? Six hundred and fifty dimes? No. What? How many dimes?
It would be a thousand.
Sixty five hundred dimes is
Six hundred fifty dollars. Yeah.
Right? Oh no, I'm saying sixty five
Sixty five dollars, which times ten.
Yeah, yeah, so six hundred and fifty dimes
I could definitely put that in my pocket.
You think so? I think so. Bro
I'm getting way more than that. In one pocket that in my pocket. You think so? I think so. Bro, I'm getting way more than that in one pocket in one pocket
I'm first of all I wear deeper pockets cuz I'm a powerful man. I'm more powerful
And it's gonna walk away with the most money cuz he's got
I got pockets on my knees jokes on us the pockets on this boy
I mean those shorts are you're walking away a multi-millionaire
I'll tell you take off my shirt and then try to like
Tie the holes of the thing and just shove mad time you're by the time you got those things
I said you have 60 seconds by the time you have those things tied you don't have the time
You've never seen me tie a shirt hole tie it right now
Tie a shirt right I've never done it exactly so technically you're right I've never seen you do it but you've also never seen
you do it I think that if there's all those dimes I could probably walk away
with like 600 bucks 600 bucks what do you think that weighs five pounds I haven't
even thought of that no way cuz that diamonds also light they're not like
they're thin and they're skinny like what are you what are you thinking bro I'm
walking away with at least five grand yeah are you don't think so why they're
like I thought dude you have to carry five thousand dollars worth of dimes
That's 50,000. I think I have shoes that I could fill with dimes socks
I could fill with dimes I have pockets. I could fill with dimes. I have hands
That I could fill with dimes
I have all your hands bro. I could fill my mouth up with times who said I can't Frank you can fit
$13 in your mouth I
Would say we should try this that would be very dangerous let the piggy boys do that
All right guys today. We're gonna see how many times we could shove in our mouth
How how many how much money you think you're walking away with with my pants? Yeah, Oh
Multi-millionaire this guy I could probably get
because I get all of it I probably get a thousand pounds I'm nope a thousand
dollars thousand dollars we're Britain now yeah all right maybe five thousand
was a bit of an exaggeration I imagine a bit first of all that's an
exaggeration I get a thousand dollars all right I would say let's let's go by
because they're light how much does a $100 worth of dimes weigh?
Am I guessing? I have no idea. Let's guess, let's guess.
$100 worth of dimes, that's a thousand dimes, I would say that probably weighs like, four pounds.
That's wrong.
So you can't walk away with 400 pounds?
It's not about the weight, it's just about like how much I could fit in a pocket like that you can't fit that many in a pocket. I could
pick up all the... That's a good point. We didn't we didn't we didn't calculate volume here.
I'm going purely... We? I'm going purely... I did. I'm going purely based off of weight.
I don't care about volume. I can carry a lot more dimes than I could like walk
away in that situation. You don't have that many pockets. Those people that pay
for like parking tickets and like buckets of coins
And shit like that. Yeah, I think how much is it wait? How much is a hundred dollars worth of dimes I?
Would say like a quarter of a pound
Bro, it's that's in all right all right a fucking a at most a pound. I'm actually gonna change my answer to like 10 pounds
You think you can get 10 pounds worth of no?
I think that a hundred dollars worth of dimes probably weighs somewhere from 8 to 10 pounds, bro
They're small. They're the smallest coin, but it's a thousand of them. Yeah, but they're small in their light
How much does it weigh it weighs five pounds a?
Quarter of a pound okay, what do you think of their made out of air it'll get
there yeah so so we saw a hundred dollars is five pounds oh dude I am
walking away with so your five thousand dollars would be 250 pounds five
thousand dollars 250 pounds yeah I could do that okay are you 250 pounds bro I
can do that I got a 1000% do that. Bro that's carrying a
Watch this. Big guy. Watch this. Draped all over your body. Watch this. 100 pounds on my shoulders
Like I could squat you could squat 100 pounds. How you what do you mean on your shoulders like how would you get dimes on your shoulders?
I'll stack them.
What are you talking about?
Let's say I have like a like if I just have like a sack in my car, I could put it on my
shoulder.
Your Santa Claus?
Sure.
I could put that on my shoulders.
And then it's another 150 pounds.
75 in a bucket, 75 in a bucket.
You can't deadlift 75 pounds on each hand.
Frank, I'll throw it against the ceiling if I want to.
That's what I'm saying I
Think I could walk away with a couple grand. It's not about weight It's about like first of all you're just changing the rules as we go now you have buckets
Now you could just fill up two buckets like that would take all right. You're right. You're right
You're right
What am I if we're wearing what we're wearing right now if we're wearing what we're wearing right now, you're in trouble
I'm in huge disarray you're in a big ol fat probably
and still has he's gotten more he does have any time he walks in we should we
should do like a line on how many pockets today set the line every day at
like every day you know or no just my numbers three and a half five and a half. Yeah I would say right like this. I'd probably get like
Not that much, dude. I probably get like
Maybe a hundred fifty bucks
Because I got
Like this I have pockets oh those look deep though, and you have butts there
I see a zipper pocket in there where there's a zip is there no, okay?
Oh
There is a little like you got it down the leg long. It doesn't matter that helps dude
I can fit four bucks in there
Maybe I mean four bucks baby, and then if I could take my shoes off and carry my shoes
I can do that and your socks babe and socks
and socks you catch me on a day where I'm wearing loafers and flowy pants yeah
we got a problem I can't carry that many times though I think I get $500
realistically I think how are you carrying $500 I always wear hats I always
wear hats you can't have this I don't have shoes. That's a problem
That is right. You do not you are wearing sandals flip-flops
I think I do it I take this off tie it together the arms I get all right thousand dimes the fuck yeah
Yeah, if you were able to tie that together. Yeah, oh if I was wearing a turtleneck if I had prep time
I'd wear the right clothes
turtleneck Turtleneck you joggers way to a recital and then a truck flipped over all these time. I'd wear
Construction boots the sketch or boots bring those back. No I wear rain boots
Just get all galoshes sure. What's that? Those are rain boots or like waiters. What if I were waiters?
I don't even know what that is. Waiters are like people that like...
Yeah they are. Like the people that uh...
Like they fish and they like stand in the water.
And they have that rubber like overalls.
The cranberry field guys.
Yes, yes, in the bogs.
Fill that shit up. Overalls is a good answer.
Overalls is a great answer.
No, but waiters are smart because the boots are built in.
Yeah.
The boots are built in so wear waders
Yeah, but if you fill that up you can't move
It's rubber you ever go to someone's house and have all this change in it in a giant thing like if you can move it
It's yours, and you can't move it. Oh, I've tap it to me. I once I had I
at Ralph's house
Didn't you guys have one of those like a five gallon water jug where it was like a ton of change?
It was like a water jug like that
that Ralph had, I think it was made out of glass.
Five gallon filled.
And then it was like, his dad was like,
if you can move it, it's yours.
I was like, it was in the basement, bro.
Don't give me that challenge
because I'll move it and then you're gonna owe me the money.
Bro, fill up a fucking five gallon jug with coins.
The heaviest
coins you could think I'm moving it moving in what capacity shift it tilt it
get it from a to b I could do it you're just gonna have to I don't know why that
made me the heaviest cause you could think we have choices of four maybe like
I'm gorgeous nickels nickels bro get the fuck out of here. Pennies? What a bitch ass coin. Pennies are cooler than nickels.
Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars, half dollars.
Half dollars. Half dollars are cool. Nickels bro. Dumb.
Half dollars are cool because they were the only one I could fit in my eye. And like,
go like that, like I was wearing a monocle. You, what a diamond? What do you put a half a half dollar half dollar? Yeah, I yes

Was he junior? Yeah
JFK Jr. Bro. Who is the one that that was the president?
JFK Jr.? That's a good question now that I'm thinking about it. Because I know RFK Jr.
Jr. wasn't no. It was just- if K was the president and then he had his sting
You know gotten rid of bang bang. Yeah, that was that was something
I
Have a I have a half dollar that my grandmother

frame by frame
Multiple times the Zapruder film as it's called I have seen that ooh, and we drove by it
Did we drive by it in Dallas? I drove over the spot where he was shot. Oh really yep
when when we were in Dallas, but like were we all in the car or
Was there two cars?
You know what it might have you know what it might have been because remember I went and got a haircut and then you guys went to that somewhere and then the mall after and I met you at the mall?
Yeah, I don't think you were with us to be honest with you.
I just have to say that's the best fucking haircut I've gotten in my entire life.
In Dallas?
In Dallas, Texas.
Wow.
And technically it was outside of Dallas. I don't remember. What was the name of that area?
Arlington maybe?
Nope. I don't know. It was not Arlington. I don't know, bro. I've been there once.
Yeah, all right, but I drove over the X and I was like

This is a long episode mama's home. Okay, here we go. ZocDoc, how you doing? Guys, if you want to find some doctors appointments, you're
gonna want to use ZocDoc, okay? Before they were sponsored on the show, I was
using them anyway, so I'm very excited because I think it's cool. But it's a
free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in
network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment.
Okay, you just go on the website, you put in your insurance and then you put in your
area and you put in which kind of doctor you want to see, either you want to see a primary
care physician or dermatologist or whatever it is and then they will show you the ones
in your area, the ones that are closest to you, their next available appointments and
their rating, their patient reviews.
So if patients have a good experience with them, they have a high rating I believe it's out of five
and then you can book your doctor's appointments okay I've used it multiple
times okay I don't think I at one point I'd never been into a dermatologist
until I was like 20 so when I actually later than that I was like 25 but that's
how I found a dermatologist because I use ZocDoc.
And yeah, so that's what it's used for, so it's great.
But yeah, so you can get a same, sometimes you can score same day appointments.
They have appointments usually within 24 to 72 hours, so quick turnarounds like that.
But stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to ZocDoc.com slash basement to find
and instantly book a top rated doctor today. That is Z-O-C-D-O-C dotcom slash basement to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today. That is zocdoc.com slash basements, okay?

sports drinks plus eight vitamins and nutrients all in a single stick. You just

but they have essential B vitamins, B3, B5, B6, B12, excellent source of vitamin C.
On the go, hydration. Okay, if I'm going for a longer run, I have this little thing that has
two water bottles and usually I'll put a liquid IV in one of those and I'll take it with me and I'll drink it while I'm on the run.
But it's great, it'll keep you hydrated and they also taste amazing, honestly.

Skin tone.
Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
No, you understand.
I'm just saying we want to give all the information.
Tongue?
Tongue?
My tongue, here's the thing.
My tongue is often, the other day we're recording middle Greg goes why is your tongue so green I
Had some big league chew on the way to the office sue me it wasn't that it was green it was that it was like
a like
You're you have a big ass crack in the middle of your mouth
Unlike your tongue. Yeah, I thought you were talking is that? You have a big ass crack in the middle of your mouth. Unlike your tongue.
I thought you were talking about my ass crack.
I was like, what?
No, no, no, no, no.
In your tongue, you have a big ridge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Someone build that face.
Yeah, build the face.
Build the face.
I think it's not a bad face.
It'd be so funny to see that.
Someone's gonna do it, and we're gonna be mortified.
Maybe Manu can do it, who knows.
Building our perfect face?
Building the perfect face is a... that's a toughie.
You know?
Can you just name the episode?
Well, that came at the very end.
I imagine we wouldn't name it that, because people would be like,
where do they talk about this?
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, they have to wait to find out.
It's obviously gonna be about the tour dates though yeah okay sure he's already forgotten that's happening yeah yeah yeah which by the way
I don't know that we're here again if you want to enjoy a sloppy stinky rack of ribs in a
diaper yeah come on down to Frank's and Dipes Barbecue and is that crap no barbecue sauce
Is that a crap blowout in that diaper? No, it's the rack of ribs
rib meat
shoved into a hot dog bun
I've seen that
I've seen that where they put a rib in there with like a bone. Bro! You
ever see a guy- I know who you're talking about. Yeah! If it doesn't slide off it's
free? Well no, yes obviously that guy. But no there was one where it's like there's
a sandwich and it's wrapped up in aluminum foil and there's a bone sticking out of it.
And he yanks that. And he just goes. And then you open it. It's a beautiful sandwich. I
Love say I have to say I'm into all types of cuisines. I don't know if I get
Excited for any food more than I do just just like sloppy
fucking disgusting barbecue
Yeah, and like if I have a squirt bottle ever I'll let you know right now as a society.
Here's a warning to all cooks out there.
The moment we start doing elevated barbecue, like you try to open
like a fine dining barbecue restaurant.
I'm going to burn your place to the ground.
That's crazy. Yeah, I understand. But like if I see someone with like a white guy with like gauges in Brooklyn and he's
just like, you know, elevated.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, listen up guys, we're doing fine dining barbecue.
Can't.
You better hope those windows are bulletproof.
Because I'm sending a Molotov cocktail at Fourth Room, OK?
What would be the point of it being bulletproof?
I guess that would stop a Molotov cocktail.
If it could stop bullets, I imagine it could stop a cocktail.
Can we make a Molotov cocktail?
Is that legal?
Can we just make one?
No.
Why not?
Because it's dangerous.
Who's stopping you?
Oh, yeah. Who's stopping you?
Who's stopping you? Good ol' Uncle Sam I imagine is stopping you.
Hypothetically, right? This is a great question. It's not like building a bomb.
That clearly is the weird fucking demonetized as shit now.
After me saying that. But like, if that I know is illegal.
But like, can I just put what is it like
alcohol a rag in a bottle I think technically good technically it would be
considered an improvised explosive device an IED which is you can't answer
that Sam you can't make that what if I just wanted to like make one to throw at
my fireplace to like I imagine like make one to throw at my fireplace to
like turn it off i imagine like no one's going to police that unless you're like in like a
an area where wildfires are prevalent bro if i get like an upstate house one day and there's
an outdoor fireplace i'm just gonna make a molotov cocktail and just well set the fire
the the throwing it is the the spreading of it is the issue. You would have to throw this thing.
It's in a concrete. It's in a concrete.
Yeah, but Joey you don't think stuff sprays back at the person once it hits? Of course it does.
So how far back are you gonna be with this fucking incredible aim that you have?
Which you and I both know you don't have great aim.
What the? We both don't know that.
I have fantastic aim, Frank.
With a Molotov cocktail? I've never tried to throw one. great aim what do we both don't know that I have fantastic game Frank with a
Molotov cocktail I've never tried to throw one first of all I think it is
illegal yeah I think it might be too which sucks cuz they seem fun yeah
honestly I think that we're you know
hold on yeah I think this might exist already so I'm not even going to say it.
You've had progressively worse... I don't know why every time you're like,
I have a business idea and it's the most outlandish thing I've ever heard.
Joey, I think you understand as Big Business Joe that sometimes it's not about having the great idea.
It's about the ethos.
The ethos, exactly. So like, you know how many how many times you think bill gates had to go
Through Microsoft before he came up with Microsoft. You know what I'm saying probably like twice
I don't think he ever landed on like diaper barbecue and then got to Microsoft. I don't think that's the
Never know I mean you never knew you only hear what do they say you only hear about the successes you don't see the failures
They scream my failures failures and they whisper my
Accomplishments, I don't know whatever it is. You know whatever whatever you know a high school quote like oh
Oh your yearbook quote. Oh, I don't remember it. Do you did you have I remember mine? Yeah, this should be good
You're gonna hate it. It's gonna be what Batman saying something no no well somehow not as bad
it was it was
screw chasing my dreams I'm gonna find out where they'll be in 10 years and
meet up with them then what that's chasing your dreams
what did you mean? screw chasing my dreams
I'm gonna go get them in 10 years
bro that's chasing your dreams
I'm paraphrasing, I don't think
technically that's not chasing, chasing is you're always keeping up with it
I'm just saying like yo dreams where are you gonna be in 10 years
I'll see you then
that's kinda what happened
that's exactly what happened
that is exactly what happened that is exactly what happened
that's insane
holy shit that's crazy
mine was probably horrendous
yours was probably like a mac miller quote
and then like an emoji that you somehow got in there
but the emoji was like
or like a vinyl record emoji or something like that
i don't even know I wish I know. Joey's was probably...
Wait do we have that? Joey's was probably just like
whatever
That's probably what it was. Sick joke. Ants was probably like the more pockets the better. Because we went to the same high school
But obviously different years you're 11. I'm 33
You're right, but did you guys have like superlatives by the time you left because we didn't have that what's that
work like most likely to yeah we had that did you but it was like it was
because you guys went to a Catholic school so it was just like everyone's
most likely to fall into Corinthians 16 8 they didn't give it to us because they
were like oh no people are gonna get because it's like you know like one of
the seven deadly sins like whatever it is or yours were just
like as voted by the the staff sexiest oh all right no they yeah I got you guys
got it yeah they gave the cores a list and you voted on like a predetermined
also everyone got one. Yeah. Yeah.
So the way that ours did, I actually, my senior year, I counted the votes with my friend.
And it was, there was like an initial round of voting.
So like write-ins and then of those write-ins, you take the two most popular or four most
popular in some cases, and then you distribute it again for another round of voting.
Bro, people at our school campaigned like for like best dress
yes dude like what we best dressed like I swear to God
it was like a thing I'll tell you what there's a surefire way to get me to not
know for you and it's
that way yeah yeah what did you win any there wasn't any for my
oh did you win any no okay they were loser Yeah loser all right even not even most likely to succeed
No, I had the valedictorian in my core. Oh
And they always yeah, they always win it
By the time the voting comes out they always know who's gonna be the valedictorian stuff. Were you a good student?
I was great student. What's great?
fantastic
numbers Numbers numbers greats then what's great fantastic numbers numbers numbers like a plus all
right baby I said numbers he said a plus so different school grading might be
different we had we had like GPAs like that I think it was a GPA it was on like
a grade point not a great point average that's GPA 99 like you had like a 99 average or something. Oh yeah, 97.
Damn dude. I didn't have that.
My senior year I had a 101.3 average.
I crushed that shit. Wow.
Did you win valedictorian?
I did not win valedictorian.
Were you like in the MVP voting?
I don't think I was. It was like the girl that won in our year was like
all four years averaged like a rush 15 or
something like what is what is number yeah they take Italian or language and
you get extra credit yeah well and then it was literally like if they get extra
credit they can factor that in that's horseshit well they need to one because
they need to they need to go over 100 because like if there's a cap and five
people get a hundred
How are you gonna dictate who wins fight to the death? Okay?
Alright, I did get a hundred and twenty in Italian that kind of helped me out. What do you speak Italian like that? No
What was your best 120 yeah, well, that was your dad. So obviously yeah, I was your best. What was your life Joey and be honest lunch?
No, Jim. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. It was phys ed and I was in English. Oh
Okay. Yeah, you're you're well spoken. I can see that. Absolutely, but
Like every science besides earth science rocks
Yeah, you know what I mean? mean yeah yeah chemistry and bio my first
year did you guys do that too yep yeah absolutely like my teacher did me a
favor by not putting me in summer school yeah dude I remember the the year that
was really tough for the people in our like when I was in there was chemistry
yeah and physics a lot of people struggled with physics physics I don't think I was like wait yeah you know my physics wasn't bad bio and chem was horrific okay I can see
that physics and math for me science and math what was your worst subject
history oh boy do I hate history I did well in it because like it was a station 2010 it was like I if
you're cool so I had a deal our I don't know if he's still alive I hope he is he
was a really nice guy really cool guy old he was I was up there probably not
up there but like he was there you know he's dead he was the coach of the
basketball team he's probably dead as fuck I don't Jesus Christ dude but he gave me 15 points of extra credit every marking period because I would write
The lesson on the board in the morning, so he's like come into class every day
It was my first period is that come into class every day ten minutes early
Write the bullet points on the board, and I'll give you 15 15 points every marking period
What's 15 points like if you've got an 80, you're 95?
Yes. Oh my god.
Is that even legal? That's insane!
Bro, it was high school in the 2010s. They didn't dig, they did whatever the
fuck they want. That's crazy.
Yeah, dude. Yeah. And that was a wild deal. It also helped that my mom was a very
popular person at my high school. Not only that, but was it passing?
I like earned my grades, but like...
Was it passing in your school like 55 it was originally like
65 and then I think they had to lower just 55
Passing is 55 this guy's willing to give you 15
Listen dog. I was cool like yeah, I was like. I don't think you realize you were that cool
You're showing up to class 10 minutes early. Well, no-
Hahahaha
God damn it.
I was saying, like, I don't think you realize how cool I was with the teachers and staff in my school.
When I came to your school that one time, you're like the mayor, dude.
Like, it's getting to everybody.
But also, not only because, like, and I say this a lot, like, my mom worked there.
Yeah.
But, like, I was also good as a student, you know what I mean? Like, if my mom worked there and I was a was also good as a student you know what
I mean like if my mom worked there and I was a piece of shit they'd be like fuck
this kid but even before that school I feel like in your other school it was
still like that you were cool with all the teachers I was cool with them I
actually spoke to my buddy the other day about it I was cool with them but like I
