BASSMEN YARD
Welcome back to the basement yard.

A tip of the cap.
Yeah.
You know, don't know where it came from.
And also, can you tip any cap?
Or does it need to be a specific cap?
Top hats.
Those should come back, dude. Mmmmmmm I like like fancy occasions not like down the street
Well people used to wear them to like go get the mail like back in the day
And they would wear what you know what you know what shut up. You know what first my know what first?
that I don't I
Want to wear one of those top hats like old-timey like road to perdition top hats in the rain
I don't know what the middle part of road to perdition you never saw road to perdition
Is that a movie?
Have you seen road to perdition?
I didn't even know
WHAT?
Is that a movie or like a law?
Yeah with Tom Hanks
No I've never seen that
He's like a gangster and he has like a little son
What year?
2000
Oh wow I thought that this felt like a 1980
2003 2004 around that time
Really good you should watch it
Never seen it really really good
I was gonna say I want to ride one of those big wheel bikes
The old like ones that like the you can die falling off of those things
Yeah, cuz you're eight feet in the air. I know what I would you want to ride that stupid thing
Who's the engineer behind those?
How did and also like how did you figure out that and not just figure out to make it smaller?
Like why was that?
But like why?
If I'm in the olden days going down the street, and I see someone on one of those giant dumbass bikes
You're gonna push him to double hand you know, but if I saw someone on one of those bikes today, I kind of be like
You really because when I think it looks cool
But you know what it's a little nuts
It looks cool
But if you saw it in a practical form like in like daily life like someone was going to their fucking job in Manhattan
Yeah, you'd be pissed off. I hate everyone on a bike when I'm in my car, but forget it. Yes, I agree, but
like everyone always came across someone in their life
that like practically used a unicycle.
I see it's annoying.
Yeah, this isn't clown school.
It's the street. Get off.
Like, I think it's fine if you're like in a park and you're like,
oh, I'm unicycling back and forth and whatever.
You kind of look dumb doing that.
But if you're like down the street and you're peddling like down a hill like it's like alright, sweetie on my way to work
Let me get on my unicycle and ride to work. Yeah, dude. I'll bring the gun you bring the ammo
Let's shoot that person together. So some guy in my neighborhood like goes on that big bike. I see it sometimes really
Yeah, do you know the name of it what it's called by a bicycle bicentennial bike what is it it's called penny father
penny farthing penny farthing yeah the name also sounds yeah that sounds like
something if I bro if someone first of all you live in Brooklyn yep chances are
you're gonna see some Brooklyn hips are out here with a hat that has just a foot
on it and it says something like
Stinky with a question mark. What does that have to do this conversation? Brooklyn weirdos are weirdos
And you don't even you don't even know what Brooklyn looks like. I do I've been Brooklyn. You've been on the BQE
I've been on Brooklyn. All right
If they were just like yeah, I'm going to get a couple Vietnamese spit IPAs on my penny farthing
Bro
So mad
You know, it's crazy as you said Vietnamese spit IPA. I was like
Would you drink some like alcohol if it was no didn't spit no
Disgusting. I don't it doesn't matter. Hey, well clearly it does to someone in this room. Why?
You would let someone spit in your mouth sure
That's fire. Yeah, I would that be up. You've run so far away. Don't get up
Sure penny farthing interesting what's worse a bike a unicycle or a
fucking hoverboard
For like a legitimate like hoverboards are for like 11 year olds 10 years ago
Yeah, that like just found out that like mr. Beast is yeah a youtuber and all they talk about is five nights at Freddy's I
Don't know what that is either. You know there's a lot of there's a lot of stuff on now that miles is
He's turning as a recording is turning 10 tomorrow
Oh, I'm like getting in on the cool like kid lingo and stuff
You know what I mean, so yeah, he helps me so one day. I jokingly with him
I said like yo like who in here skibbity or or a maxis, and he's just like no one says that anymore, dude
Yeah, I was like what do they say and he goes you remember when we went to Penn State and you tried to do that
And they were like dude. We're not nine years old. Why are you doing this? I think Penn State was lying
That's based on nothing. I know there was a crowd full full of people being like, no, we don't use that word. Well, because I asked them if things were still skibbity.
Right.
And I think that is a younger generation.
Ant is going to fall off his chair.
He did do that.
I believe it.
And they said, no, we're older than that.
But like, so they love Minecraft.
So should I ask them about it?
Who loves Minecraft?
Herobrine.
You know that one.
You get that reference. That's a great reference. Herobrine? Herobrine, Who loves Minecraft? Herobrine? You know that one. That's a great reference.
Herobrine? Herobrine, yeah.
What's Herobrine?
Don't tell him. Let him keep himself out of the loop.
It's just like a lore in Minecraft.
It's not that deep.
You're a Minecrafter? Yeah, I like Minecraft.
He crafted.
Do you mine?
In the mine, yeah.
You build houses and shit? Sometimes. y'all I'm gonna tell you right now yep that game sucks
I know it's like the greatest like highest selling game of all time or
something like that is it yeah pretty sure what it passed it's so simple it
it's like that grant up to auto five Tet, Mario Kart 8, like, wow.
But bro, it's, you think it's simple, but it's not.
It's mining.
Bro, if you want to, all right, so you literally get put
in an ever-expanding world.
Yeah.
What are you gonna do?
Yeah, what was the first thing you would do?
What's the first thing you're doing?
Me?
Yeah, turn the game off.
Okay. Okay. Yeah, what was the first thing you would do? What's the first thing you're doing? Me? Yeah, turn the game off.
I feel like, oh too big, sorry, man. Too big, don't want it.
I would like to start with something. But seriously, alright, well no no, you don't start with anything.
You start with your face. Oh, so I guess you just start digging into the earth. Yep, and then?
Trying to find oil. I'd probably live underground. Well no no no no no no no no if you're gonna find resources you need to mine them
Yeah, yeah, in order to mine them you need a pickaxe. Yeah, so I guess I gotta find some rocks uh
Sure, but you also need a sticks
And then you need to find rocks you need to make a stick pickaxe
And then you can mine God and then they break yep, well then you gotta go get more yep
So this is what the game is.
So like can you eventually work your way up to being like, oh I built a car.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yeah on the tracks, on the Redstone tracks.
Honestly technically you can.
Technically you can build anything.
Oh I'm sitting here with two crafters aren't I?
I'm not, I just see Miles playing it.
He loves it.
Yeah yeah you see it alright.
He's told me that like it is so like
Intricate like Minecraft as a world that like you can build
Functioning computers in that oh, yeah
It's not simple you can build a not saying you could I'm saying you could build a fully working computer in Minecraft
I'm just saying I'm not kidding. Why the fuck would you do that? I don't know dude. I can throw a fully functional
Post route and Madden and score touchdown too. That's right. Honestly everyone has you know
Everyone has their own thing that they like I guess I've never played minecraft
I've seen like videos of it and stuff, but I should play runescape back in the day. Yeah, you were
Keith is a big again, but like I used to walk over to trees, and I was just like you felt like that yeah Keith was a big in the room again But like I used to walk over to trees and I was just like chopping down you were very big
I I remember you were really big into like simulation games like you liked room scape you loved red faction
Like where you could like red faction red faction or command and conquer. Oh, I still like that
Well, he loves games where you could delegate
He could be like alright guys go do it
That game is fun because you could like you build buildings and you have to like it's like a strategy you like like
roller coaster tycoon and the sims and
I never played I've never played the sims games ever okay. I played a
I never played I've never played the sims games ever okay, I played a
version of roller coaster tycoon on my phone for like four days, and I was like I
Yeah, same. It was too much like the hot dog machine cost ten million dollars the fuck is this yeah?
Yeah, and it's just like oh, no There's not a there's not a bathroom close enough to the fucking haunted mansion like just walk another step
I'm also like it's right there. Yeah, yeah, it's like all those the parks dirty now these people are shitting on the ground
Yeah, yeah, and they're just like there's not enough trash cans trash cans I get trash can I got trash
I get the trash trash can people say I'll be walkable. It's gotta be walkable
That's what people say about Disney Disney everywhere you look there's a trash can within like 10 feet or something
Yeah, something like that or in every line site or eye line is what I meant to say. There is a trash can. Line of sign? Your eye line.
Line of sight. I'm saying the correct thing and you're trying to come up with new ones.
But the reason why I deleted that game is because there was an option to like you could
just build a roller coaster or you could create a custom one and I created a custom one the
First time someone got on it. They fell off and it was like, oh, this is completely fucked up
I was like fuck this game
I used to I had a copy of the sims for the original Xbox and I would like it because
I would like to set up a house and then I'd like take the door away and then you could hear a robber coming and
They'd break through the window and then sometimes if you took their toilets away
they'd piss themselves, right?
Don't look at me, why don't?
Um, you know when you just made that joke about me,
like oh Joe likes games, we're delegating,
you like torturing virtual people?
When they are soulless, yes. Right is this is what's scary about playing God
yeah I think it's just being a bad person yeah I don't think so you'd be
the guy in the in the USS Callister that's like mean to the virtual people
no no no because like it's different now now
I saw hope AI doesn't become sentient because you're very nice to come in very nice. I've been very nice to computers
Okay, I'm very very nice. I
I've softened up like I can use it like a specific example like when we were younger
There was a game called Bioshock that I played great game highly recommend it one of the greatest of all time and like
There are like these things called little sisters in the game and you can either save them and you get a certain material
Or you can kill them basically kill them, but you get more of the material
but like the moral conundrum is that like
Not for young Frank well more material. Thank you
when I was younger I fucking I took I
all of it all of it all of it all of it and it like the pet it like changes the
outcome of the game like you get different power-ups yeah I played that
game a couple years ago I saved all them I can't do it now yeah I feel bad now I
played Harry Potter and like in that game where it's like you could choose to
learn the death spell and whatever fuck every single death spell every
Single one I learned I was like I'm not gonna kill people in the castle, but I do want the option
Well, I would only my way of justifying is I only use it against like trolls and spiders cuz it's really good
Yeah, bro. It's it's a one-hit kill, but it takes a while to reload
But it's like you can kill kids in the castle if you want and like that's not good And I wouldn't do it, but I like the option I I I mean, you're ripping their doors off and hoping people get robbed and then also listening to it. That's crazy
ASMR people getting robbed weird well in sim city you could there could be monster attacks
What's the oh kaiju's yeah kaiju's you could like one of them? I think in like the super nintendo version
It was like Bowser came through the city and like fuck shit up
I mean, I think it's like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing I mean, I think it's like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing that they're like, you know, like a good thing Yeah kaiju's you can do like one of them I
think in like the Super Nintendo version it was like Bowser came through the city and
like fucked shit up. That's crazy. Yeah it's fun. It's fun like creating cities. You like
creating things. I do like creating things. And that was a segway. Very good. That's how
you segway. That's the sinister segway sir right there. Okay. Um, spell Segway really quick. Go.
S-E-G-U-E. Yeah baby! It's called, it's like Segw. Segw. Segw. Is it a French word? It's gotta be a stupid
French word. They love having words that are just like they give up at the end you know you know when things are like like shit it's pronounced like shea whatever shea Monterrey or some yeah
but it's about CH easy yeah it just makes me feel like chairs yeah you know
because she has just sounds like the dirtiest place in the world like come
over to Ches Joe's or whatever the yeah I can, I can see that sound. I'm pretty gross.
I mean, it sounds like cheese, which if anyone would describe anything as like
if anyone had like a nickname, it was like cheese something.
It's probably because they're disgusting.
We used to call a girl cheese.
No, we used to call her fish.
No, I don't know fish, but we used to call girl cheese.
I don't remember calling a girl cheese.
Cheese. No, I mean, you suppose who was she?
I don't remember.
I don't remember. Girl cheese. I don't remember girl cheese. I remember calling a girl cheese cheese. No me suppose. Who was she remember? I don't remember girl cheese
I don't remember girl cheese. I was really upset or you were obsessed with like string cheese or
What's the cheese that you could press the can string cheese? Yeah, is it called yeah?
Cheese was like cheese was yeah
But there was a call string cheese
But there was a girl who like there was something with you and the cheese and then we would start a call this girl cheese I don't remember that who's she who the hell was
cheese oh well maybe she's a blonde girl a blonde girl named cheese blonde girl
named she's the right hair you need to be called cheese or redhead would make
more sense yeah who was it who was blonde man? Oh um?
britney
Britney though. She's older than us. I'm not gonna say her last name. She was older than us. She's blonde girl rooftop
Yes, gotcha. Yeah, yeah, but you scald she's called she's she goodness gracious We were young we were probably like third 12, and we were calling her cheese. It made no sense Yeah, I had no I'm glad we figured that out you guys enjoyed that
Anyway for more pressing matters Frank Frank you you did something well technically I didn't do something
It was the aura
It was the aura of somebody else. You know a lot of people know that there are characters on this show that are born out of my incredible genius intellect. A lot of people often talk about
the three-time slam poetry of the year winner, Francisco. I am not Francisco, but I can become
Francisco. And I want to introduce everyone to a new character a new man right it's just
me it's me again it's me again big buck
Alvarez big buck Alvarez I'm gonna preface this entire thing well then we
didn't tell them what we did why we're gonna get to that but like so here's
what happened last year we had a show in Nashville and
Frank's like I need boots and I need a hat like immediately so we got to Broadway
We go right into the first store and this kids walking around like oh that that we need a little that I'm like Frank They have someone's gonna shoot you. I will be on a revolver. I will be honest I
Think I was incredibly lucky to have escaped Nashville unscathed
I thought there was gonna be a six-shooter so much just like yeah
Because I also was doing it in a way that was little playful amongst us right but loud very loud
so like everyone's hearing it and granted there's not a whole lot of like actual like
Yeah, the guy the Williams on Broadway. Yeah, like blonde bachelorette parties for the most exact and the guy that billions on Broadway yeah like blonde
bachelorette parties for the most exact
and the guy that was like working there
he was like yeah I lived in New York for
a couple years like he was just I was
like how did they do you're gonna nail
it yeah see that's what he's doing and
then he was just like yeah man no
problem I'll help you find what you're
looking for and I was like okay all
right but then Frank just kept doing it and then
one day he was like yo well hold on we gotta preface this also oh let's preface the preface
yeah preface preface pre preface um we at our Nashville show a lot of people don't know
this we did karaoke we were in Nashville and we were like yo this is a fucking party we
love to do karaoke
So let's do it so we sang a song on stage
I don't know legally if we could say what song we did it was wagon wheel it was what's gonna happen
I don't know you know a Darius rocker might be in a bad mood today
He's gonna kick the door down and sue us. He's like hey
He's come with the blowfish oh
Wow I forgot yeah, yeah, he'soting. Um, and we enjoyed it so much
though I was just like
Frank's like how hard can it be to write a country song basically or or it wasn't that it was like I can write a country
song. Yes, and I was like
We're gonna see about that. So we jumped into the studio, a studio that we found, and we got instruments, we got this
type of shit, and we created a song.
We did.
Big Buck Alvarez created the song.
Big Buck Alvarez, yeah.
He actually created the song.
And we recorded a real song, and Frank performed it in Texas
All of our shows in Texas, so if you came to those tech shows, you know, it's not we're talking
No, it's not we're talking about it was we only did it at the Texas shows. Yeah, and it was
Ridiculous because we didn't tell anyone we were doing this and we haven't spoken about it since right
We didn't tell anyone we were doing this and we haven't spoken about it since. Right.
So, we're like, we're gonna, we have to release this song for real.
The only people that know about that song or heard it were the people that were at those
Texas shows and it kind of fucking hits.
Look at your face right now.
Just look at the way that you look.
You're like, you look you're like
you look like a like a sassy cat or something like that and
You're frozen in time. I just want to make something very clear
When you do that Just want to make something very clear. Yeah, I am beyond elated talking about
Big Buck Alvarez's debut single.
Debut single which, which is coming out on the 4th of July.
Because we want it to be the song of the summer, folks.
It's the song of the summer. It is the 4th of July. Hot dogs. America. Texas. Big Buck Alvarez and when we were coming up with this song by the way it
was birthed out of delusion and it was raised in the bosom of
idiocracy that's beautiful it is what you're saying the idiocacy that is not a
real word but only for this right it It felt right though. It was so when we were talking, we thought like, all right, how are
what are we going to do for this?
How are we going to make this?
Like, what should it be?
And, uh, I'm a big fan of the office and I was watching the office at that time.
And one of my favorite episodes is threat level midnight where Michael
scarn does the dance, the scarn.
Right.
Jump to the left and you shake that hand.
Jump to the right, shake that hand.
Meet new friends, tie some yarn.
That's how you do the scarn.
Right.
So you were inspired by this.
And listen, the song, I will say, it's very good.
And I will say this, right?
Even if you listen to the song and you're like, what the fuck?
I'm fucking guaranteeing you that four days later you're gonna be like, get this out of my fucking head.
Because it doesn't go away.
So we found that when we were in Nashville, I was just screaming, doot doot.
We found... Nashville I was just screaming do do We we found
Like a team of scientists and research found that Frankie could not stop saying do do so
The song of the summer big buck Alvarez's debut single is
The double do and it's coming out on the 4th of July
I'm gonna play a little snippet little snippy a little snippy pimp snaps know that a little I'll play those snips a little snip

Don't think that was nearly as cool as you thought it was but I'll play the thing and you could just perform it mind it
You don't have to stand up or anything. Oh, okay, I I wasn't going to. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying. Alright guys, so here
it is. The world premiere, besides Texas, the world premiere of a snippet.
The world wide, I mean technically it was... The worldwide snippet premiere.
It was the Texas premiere. Right. So now we're doing the rest of the world premiere.

Don't you dance.
Me and the social team are on it. Okay, there's a dance
There's a dance song and it's a little difficult to remember. But if you listen
I can't not remember it is also meant to be a parody like it's meant to be straight
I can tell you this right now if I
God forbid develop dementia in my later years, I will not forget this.
Gotcha!
I will not forget this song. And I don't know if that's good or bad.
Well, like, in writing it, and I know we're talking too much about it, if you want me to shut up, just tell me.
In writing it!
In writing it, I was thinking of, like, making it a satire. Like, what is the most country-sounding thing I can do?
Yeah.
So... most country sounding thing I can do. Yeah. So. Ladies and gentlemen, the world premiere of the Snippet of the Double Dude coming on the
4th of July.

this uh tiktoks yeah i'm looking out for your tiktok because there's a dance and frank i know
that frank's gonna you should drop it to a split at one point you should train okay well then we
got we've got time frank if i can tell you this right now if at any point in your life you just
randomly dropped into a split in front of me that would I know you my life would be better
you brought this up before the have I yeah, you said this before it seems like a challenge and
Maybe I'll do it
Yeah, I got it. I got to get back into a couple things before I go straight into doing a split
I get close though. I could get close as it is no no no
I don't know Frank is aware that no one can see him, but he's doing a split
It's not
That's not bad. You're about like
you're a
Quarter away no Frank you are you are pretty far away and trying to your grant he Frank's grabbing his groin now so that's over
with I got that that's over with so Frank's in trouble an out that's what I
mean that's the one that you want yeah you're you're trying to do like a Van Halen split or something. I don't know why I went with that
Yeah, those are hard to if I do a straight-out split like Jean-Claude Van Damme yes with chairs

Well Logan Paul is a world-class athlete. He's splits his
It's split. Oh, Logan Paul is a world-class athlete. He splits his
Fucking balls or whatever. That's crazy. Yeah, I'd be a little worried about my my stuff your shit ripping
What happens if I jump into a split do I rip my muscles off the bone? I think your muscles need the elasticity in order to get there. You could do it. You'll be in pain. I
Don't even know if that's possible. I think they would rip off the bone give it a
shot I'm not gonna give it a shot I'm not flex you know you know you know who

Damn, I'm not flexible at all. I can't you know
When you're younger and everyone thought it was so cool to be like look
I'm double-jointed, and they would put their finger like this you mean like this
Yeah, or that but their finger would get mean you know when
people like have a mean yeah it's like the veins look look I'm double-jointed
I'm like you just look like you're pointing I hated the one that people
would be like look at this and they'd fold their tongue into a fucking doily
and they'd be like cool and I'm like stupid yeah and it's like it looks like
a like a like I don't even know what that it looks like a W like they can fold
their tongue in itself. Yeah, yeah, I'm like
What does this mean? I?
Thought I always thought that I'm supposed to be attracted to this like this makes you better at making out because you could fold your
Shit into a fucking wave come on
I don't think people were showing you in order to show that they were good at making out doing that it was like that and
Also like tying a cherry that one is the famous the starburst
And the cherry stem we know those we've gone through though. Yeah, you know I'm saying that was like another one of those
But I hated the finger. It's like look I'm double-jointed
I'm like bro. I just look stupid to me
The other one that freaks me
I think Becky could do it actually is when they could take their thumb and go all the way back to their
Arm or something like that are you double-j? You got any cool stuff about your body?
No, nothing cool.
Bro, I remember when I was a kid I was so pissed
because there was an episode of Figure It Out.
Remember Figure It Out with Summer Sanders?
I fucking loved Summer Sanders.
Billy the Answerhead is a god in my household.
Wow.
And she was on the show and her secret talent was that she could fit her body through a coat hanger.
And I was like... Bro, I remember that episode vividly.
And I watched it and I was like, and I did it. I was like, what the fuck, Summer Sanders?
Get me on this fucking show with that dumb ass fat head next to you.
Dude, just because of how angry you were, that F of beginning word felt so insane I was like what is he going out mad as he right now?
Yeah, I could pick up a baseball at my foot
Shut up. What are you a fucking big bro a baseball is a baseball's crazy
I could pick up like coins and like a pen I'm gonna pick up a baseball a
Base you pick up that water bottle right there with your foot. Yeah, easily I'd have to take off my not we know like longways
Like grip the cylinder if if that fucking bottle was laid on its side
And you picked it up with your foot. What do you have on your firing you fucking talons? I just can kind of I don't know
I don't believe this well. I would have to take off my sock
Well, I don't yeah, I don't ready all that how are your feet one to ten not great right now?
What's right now? What are they now? They better?
They could probably use a snip you got a fungus no no he's saying his toenails
Yeah, the bottom of your foot look like it's all fucked up. That's probably not great. Yeah, that's all right their feet
No one needs to see what about you you got good bottom your feet. Yeah, they're fine
I don't hate them. You know my toenails get a little crazy sometimes mine definitely my pinky toenail
Shouldn't even be on my body mine should not be there the pinky toenail is a joke dude mine's like
rectangular it's just like
Mine like I guess because the way it cuts and it's the only way I can cut it when I use the clippers because of how
It's shaped. It's like straight across cuts and it's the only way I can cut it when I use the clippers because of how it's Shaped it's like straight across
Straight across it's like a fucking mountain mine. I'll tell you this. It's a what a mountain
Like it comes to a point. Oh my fucking big toenail. Yeah
I'm not kidding. I
Legitimately think I could slice someone's throat with it. Yo, that's a thick ass nail.
It's thick and it's sharp.
You know what I do?
I don't know if you guys have the same strategy as me, but when I cut my big toenail,
I clip once and then I just peel.
You're and you've yet to fucking like peel too much.
No, I've never done that.
I clip the sides just to make sure it doesn't like get into like ink-rown toenail situation yeah and then I go in
the middle do you clip before after the shower after I don't line that up well
after the shower your nails are a little softer it's a little easier to do yeah I
mean I'm not struggling to cut my oh I've you're peeling them off like yeah
like they're fucking Christmas tree rapper if I
Christmas tree rapper Yeah, I don't know my my my fingers. I do like
I'm like Edward scissor hands with my fingers, but my toes. I'm just like Pat Pat Pat Pat. Oh, I I've since
cut back a lot
But I used to bite my fingernails like Frankie
I know I I have you could see you could see my fingernails
They are mostly uniform in their names my thought I said fingernails bitch. Okay, and also I don't bite this
I pick at it like that, but you also bite
You're a biter something that's hanging. I'll go like this. Oh, that's biting
Yeah, not not that often though. Not as bad as it used to be Frank you I could see a cut on your thumb right here where your hand down
put your hand down right there I can see it it's red where right there oh right
there yeah that's not biting that's just going like that you destroy your thumb
and sometimes you got to put band-aids on to stop yourself sometimes

Say like wherever it goes I assume that's how you talk
Most of the time not most of the time, but definitely some of the time I would say
I think that's the whole podcast like you start going somewhere, and you're like I'm too far into the sentence
I have to end it well
Why waste my own breath right commit to the bit if I start saying something
I better finish it
Yeah, so you're doing it now. Yep like you're trying
Trying to come up with like a well. I'm not I'm not a
I'm not an intellectual tease if I'm allowing people
What does that mean if I'm allowing people a view into my brain?
If you're allowing people to view into your brain. Yeah, I'm giving them the whole I'm giving them the whole thing What does that mean? About allowing people to view into my brain? If you're allowing people to view into your brain?
Yeah.
Do you mean just talking?
I'm giving them the whole thing.
What does that mean?
Now you're not talking.
That's contradicting what you're saying.
You know what I'm talking about.
I have no idea.
That's why I'm asking.
I think you do.
I think you do.
So...
See, you know what's crazy? I think you do. So...
See, you know what's crazy? Now it's you completely shut off like as you were like oh intellectually or whatever like you this whole time after you brought it up
You just started talking and it happened. I I every now and then I have a lapse in like my brain just shut up
Just shut up. I would love to see what's
going on it shuts off I'm also very
tired you're very tight hey don't do
that okay you can stop nope don't do it
but yeah it's getting worse can we stop
at seven eight okay good uh... I wanted to talk about this thing
are you drooling?
I heard some noise in my ear just now I don't know what that was
I heard that too from across the table but yeah I think he's drooling
I'm good I'm good. Really? Did you drool?
almost. You look wet your lips look wet
You know those kids growing up in school where their lips were always wet
Well, if that hated those kids where they had the red ring around this was my least favorite kid
That's what I'm talking about they would have wet lips wet mounts wet dry your mouth up you fucking loser
Why is it so wet and it's not like they were wearing like chapstick. They were just wet. Yeah, and one kid
I've got his name, but he had a red. Oh, yeah, I don't know. I don't know
I will say this though those kids that had the wet mouth were always the ones that sneezed into their hand
It's like oh
Hate that I hated that bro sneeze like not a loser bro
Also, I don't know if this is just me but like whenever I sneeze and someone goes
Do you need a tissue? It's like bro I sneeze one time, relax
Like I didn't sneeze like I'm sick like
It's like wet, like sometimes you have a dry ass sneeze
Most of my sneezes are dry
I think you need to realize you're probably the outlier in terms of sneezing.
Like, sneezes are not as pleasant as you seem to make them sound.
I'm not saying that they're pleasant.
But like, you do like a, chew, and then you're good.
There are people that sneeze like shotgun blasts, and they're wet most of the time.
My father, yeah.
Bro, my dad, the other day.
What is with fathers? They can't sneeze correctly?
I'm getting there. I'm getting there, and I hate it.
I'm slowly becoming like- Oh, you're getting- you're're doing like a you're like that though. You have performative sneeze
I do I like to make them a little show you like to keep your mouth open sometimes
You like to go like aha, and I'm like dude. Yeah, my new thing
You're gonna hate this my new thing with Becca is if I have to sneeze. I'll like sneeze on her
Yeah, I'm gonna hate it. Yep. I'm gonna hate it. You were right
I do hate it like in bed, and I have to sneeze and I'll like. Where will you sneeze? In her face?
No no no never in her face. I'll like go. Oh what a good guy. I'll be like holding
her hand and I'll put her in it cuz like well like when we're in bed holding
hands I'll like bring it up to my face sometimes and I'll like kiss it and
stuff like that. And then you just blow it. And then sometimes I'll be bringing here and I'll just go and I'll
sneeze right into it and she she's like, why?
Like, please stop.
It's a fun little cute thing I do.
Yeah, but only you enjoy it.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
That's the issue.
If she said to me, I think a small.
I'm sure she said that.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I think a small part of her might like it.
That you sneeze into her hand?
But not like a, like she likes,
like because it's just something I do like it's like the idea
of like when I'm gone eventually she'll be like that was something he did that
was so him that's just like I miss. Frank I hope there's a laundry list of
things before she gets to he used to sneeze in my hand. Well I'm not saying
like that but like it'll be triggered when she hears a sneeze is this your way of gaslighting me into thinking that this
is a romantic gesture that you sneeze into your wife's hand no I know well
when I die I know it's never that I know it's not romantic and I'm very well
aware that it is stupid but it's just like I feel like you've sneezed in my
face well another party trick I had after I put my legs on.
Yeah, as my fake sneeze.
If that one didn't work.
If that one didn't get him.
There was a plan B.
And it was fake sneezing.
Yeah, the fake sneezing, because I'm a very good fake sneezer.
Hit him with a...
Away from the mic, please.
Alright. The wind up, I got it.
The wind up is part of it.
Good.
I'm just like...
It's great.
It's a really good fake sneeze.
It's a really good fake sneeze.
So like that was what I'd be like, I'd pretend I couldn't stop sneezing.
Right.
And like sometimes like I was going to sneeze in a person's face.
And at that point there's no need for a Plan C.
Yeah.
Because there's no way that you haven't captivated the audience with plant beans.
If it ain't the leg it's the sneeze.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Whoa, dude.
My hair is getting out long.
The way you put the hat on.
My hair is getting long.
Are you growing it out?
I'll cut it soon. It's getting annoying. huh? My hair is getting long. Are you growing it out?
I'll cut it soon. It's getting annoying.
Really?
Yeah. I like it.
Thank you. I appreciate you liking it.
But it becomes a lot of, it's just another thing to do.
Have hair?
Like have to like take care of hair.
How do you take care of your hair?
Well like in terms of like I have to wear a hat or a headband.
Because if you see what it's like when there's not those things on it it's crazy.
Can't you just, I mean I've seen you, what do you mean?
When? I've seen you-
Like if I shower and I let my hair dry-
Oh! Well you have to put stuff in it.
I don't always want to do that.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
You know?
So you gotta wear a hat.
Exactly what I said.
Exactly what I said. Exactly what I said. Exactly what I said.
Do you have a night routine?
Like the oil and the face mask?
Not all the time. I mean I have face stuff that I put on.
Like I'm wearing like a serum.
Good for you.
Cause I don't wanna, you know me.
No good, I'm serious.
That's not like a good for you.
That's like a good, good for me. I'm a be no good. I'm serious. That's not like a that's not like a good for you
That's like a good good for you. That's I only started doing this like
Two years ago three years ago, Joey we need to we need to realize we're aging oh, I realize and I know you do I
Don't mean to be offensive. I mean it that Frank thinks about we're all gonna die one day
Oh, I wasn't time marches on and it freaks me out thinking physically like no. I know like we're aging. I know
We're old. Yeah, but I didn't like the way that I think you're backtracking
You should be like Frankie means it like in a metaphysical standpoint
I think that's 100% the reason why like you talk about how that's the scariest thing on earth death
Well, no, just the fact that like you you know, time, it just keeps going.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Freaks me out.
And I'm like, I know.
It's crazy.
But maybe I'm closer to an intellect
because I struggle and try to understand
the concept of time,
this seemingly invisible force
that you can't see and it is so powerful.
So me trying to go through that and understand it
just makes me closer to godliness, I guess.
I don't know.
It's called just being self-aware.
I don't know why you want this godly godliness.
It's kind of crazy.
I wanted to talk about this thing though that like you had brought up before the show where
it's like there's a machine or something.
Does it exist or it doesn't exist where it turns your dreams into videos?
Yeah, so it's this machine where you can...
It's real or it's like they're building one?
Uh, that's a great question.
I think it's in development, but the idea is that like it sits next to your bed
and it has a little screen on the front and you can talk to it or into
it or with a microphone or whatever and all of those are the same thing no you
could like if it you could talk into its add it into a microphone I thought I
was different because I was holding it like this oh dude and the idea is that
like you'll tell it your dream and it'll create a movie create it using AI when
you when you say that I said that's so weird. What do you say when you say that?
Originally I thought it was like something you put on your head and then all of your dreams get made into videos I
Wish that exists no way I have seen Batman forever way too many times to trust something like that oh
I've seen Batman forever way too many times to trust something like that.
Oh, the Riddler? Yeah. Remember he puts like the suction cup thing on the people's head
and he like steers steals their intellect or something like that?
Whatever. I mean, whatever.
Then fucking Jeff Bezos will own your brainwaves.
You're cool with that.
Can I still have mine?
He'll have them. He basically has them now.
Does he? Does.
I mean, all the data points like if
Celebrity sold their dreams like that like you could why give a fuck I'm saying I think a lot of people buying them
Oh my god, that's the next that's the next like if you sell your dreams. You are a soulless pig
If you you can't you have to say that's crazy. That's crazy
That's the next billion dollar industry and you're just shitting on it the whole way. I am listen. That's sickening. Hey
I'm in I'm in from the ground up. All right. He's what you want. You're gonna sell your dreams
I'm not saying I'll sell my dreams, but that's what I'm saying. There are people that are paid for it
What does that mean? You should sell it maybe no
Just because people will buy it doesn't mean that you should sell it
Well people are buying and selling bath water. So like that's well you're gonna tell me if there was
a dream company and what would it be called dream works that's already an
animation company welcome to the joke Frank welcome to the joke there's a
great name for it though it is or dream view head view that feels like a
different kind of website has one you
type in by accident you're like oh god yeah yeah okay Frank either way yeah oh
gotcha mind view mind mind film whatever you're doing I feel like it's
not important to what we're trying to get to and it was like there are people
that it's gonna be like oh Sydneyweeney, she just sold her bathwater.
She's selling her dreams.
Bro, people are going to be all over it.
All over it.
I'm sure they would, but I don't...
You could do a different pricing, different tiers.
This one is about nature.
This one is about relationships.
This one is about food.
You kidding me
copyrighted by the way you know there'll be someone's like okay watch watch this
movie first and then go to sleep and I want the dream after that or something
you know what I mean oh you guys are sick there are definitely no look in your
eyes give a sick look I'm not buying it you know what I mean
like I just want to be clear I had nothing to do with that
Point that you said you're getting in the ground up. Yeah, you literally just said well
Not when it became voyeurism you sick sick sex freak. I mean, I don't think anyone
I don't think anyone would sell their dreams. Are you guys haven't watched inception guys? Come on
Well, they go into dreams. They don't sell them. I
Right, they go into them because no one... like, it's your subconscious.
It's the next... it's the next
sellable thing. It isn't.
We are next. I would say it's
the next. There's a billion things in between this and
that. That and...
that and what's next.
What are they?
Hmm. He's got you
here. I don't know. It could be
anything. You think the next thing that we're going to sell is dreams
I think it's if if this
item
becomes popular and refined and does well it's gonna be like a
Subscription base where you could be like it's like only fans, but for fucking buying dreams. It could be like oh
buying dreams it could be like oh fucking Joe Sadegato had a dream last night let's see what it is and it's a minute clip of like so I'm going and
then like someone sees my dog and kicks my dog and I turn into a robot and I
like it's it's gonna happen one I no one would want to pay for my dreams all
they would have to do is see one the humbleness on this man the humbility first of all if umbility it's not about that I'm saying
you would watch one you'd be like what the fuck was that sometimes I have dreams
and I'm just on my couch that's the other thing is like people will say like
if you have a banana before you sleep you have like vivid dreams off I believe
any of that although I when I'm really hydrated and go to sleep, then I have good dreams.
I don't know about that.
Holy shit.
We didn't talk about our recent trip.
Oh my god, dude.
Speaking of having like a fucking vivid dream.
You didn't hear about this.
Yo, I didn't even tell you this.
Me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, me and Frankie had to go. We were on a trip
we're not gonna say what it was yet, but we were on a trip and we were staying in an Airbnb and
There was a slight time difference and we had went to dinner. We got home. We had some wine at dinner
Yeah, but no one was like drunk. No, absolutely not. So like I went to sleep and
then No, absolutely not. So like, I went to sleep and then.

I'll tell it and then you could pick it up
from when it's your experience.
But I remember waking up, I'll tell it and then you could pick it up from when it's your experience, but I
remember waking up so we went to bed around 1030 or 1045 in that time zone
and I woke up at probably like 1245. No it was 12 I remember looking over
and I saw 1239. Oh you You guys were in the same bed?
No, no, we weren't in the same bed.
You'll hear.
But we were in separate rooms.
So then I remember waking up.
And to my defense, there was a ton of doors in this area.
There was a door to the living room that opens up,
then there's two doors here, bedroom, bedroom.
So I went through, and then then eventually I ended up in Frank's
room and what happened so I take when I go on these Airbnb's for those that
don't know yeah I am very conscious of security because in my head I've seen
way too many horror movies where like this is just the next horror movie
waiting to happen and you've played the Sims and you've... Yes, yes, yes, yes.
So, I put a rolly desk chair in front of the door to my room because there was nothing
else that I could put there.
Right.
And I thought I locked it, by the way.
Just want to make that clear.
So I'm woken up to the sound of the wheels on the floor now mind you I'm laying like this on my side
and he's coming around the corner Joey's coming around the corner this way
so by the time I hear it I jump up and I'm fucking on my side
in the most compromising position ever and I see Joey
what do my eyes look like
And I'm like Yo, what's up? You good? And he was I remember you saying the first thing you said was is everything okay?
Yeah, like is everything all right, and he was
Flabbergasted that I like he had the tone of just like yeah
He's like yeah, I'm good. And I'm like, yeah, like you fucking,
why are you laying like that?
And I'm like, what's up?
And he's like, no, I went to use the bathroom.
I figured I'd come out here, say what's up to you and Pete.
We're the only ones in the house, by the way.
There was nobody else.
Pete's my cousin. Pete's his cousin, who wasn't there with us what like I don't
even think we spoke about Peter dinner like it was not like he came never came
up and I'm like what and you're like yeah what's up and I'm like dude I think
you're sleepwalking and you're like that's what I think it fucking hit you
yeah like huh what yeah eventually I'm standing there and I start to realize You're sleepwalking and you're like that's what I think it fucking hit you. Yeah, like, huh?
Yeah, eventually I'm standing there and I start to realize oh
I'm fucking crazy, you know like and then I'm like coming too slowly because I think I was like
Slowly waking up, but I was moving and then I remember standing there and I was trying to explain myself But I was still confused and I'm looking at Frank
you look at me like I'm the dumbest person in the world, and I'm like uh I
Yeah, and I just like walked away dude when I got back to my bed. I was laughing my ass yo and then
Again remember slight time difference. I get a text at 530 in the morning from him. Yeah, I'm so sorry. I feel insane
I was like yo, it's fine. Don't worry about it. I felt like an insane person when that happens
You're like, yeah, what the hell's go? We laughed about it that whole fucking morning because like just the incredulous like yeah
Yeah, I'm good. What do you mean?
barge into his room
What about a and I'm like, yeah, what the fuck are you talking? I barged into his room and what about- And 1AM and I'm like, yeah what the fuck are you talking about?
What about, you know, like what about this situation makes you think anything is not okay?
This is completely normal, Mike.
What is wrong with you?
And I think the funny, like I'm-
Like the funniest part is like
I'm so aware of like when we're away on these trips of like thinking of like an intruder
Breaking in when like yeah, you could have done me in right there like you could have killed me 100%
You know the calls coming from inside of the house type of thing. You know what I'm saying, dude
God that was so funny
I got back to my bed and I started texting Frank and I was like I'm just not gonna do this right now
I said right in person. Yeah, but I literally was like I was like yo I feel like a crazy
person who's making me laugh because I was like I don't even know because I
don't even think I went to the bathroom to be honest I don't think I went to the
bathroom beforehand I think I just got up and went right to your room which was
there a bathroom in your room yeah oh so you just decided to take a trip so yeah
yeah but like I remember also yeah dude dude in my mind. What's fucking what's wrong with you? So in my mind?
like
Right afterwards in my mind. I was like oh
Like I was sleepwalking like whatever but what I thought I was doing was showing you where the bathroom was
So that was my story until I woke up
And then I talked to him and he goes you you said you came into my room say hi to me and Pete
I was like I don't remember that at all
Well, no you said you thought you were in the living room because you said I came out here to say hi to you and Pete
Oh, so you thought I was in the living room
sleeping
Look, I guess I don't know dude by the way so fun he was coming to show me
where the bathroom was guess where it was in my room yeah we both had a
bathroom in our room yeah I just like don't remember the horror like
velociraptor sound of the of the wheel bro I heard it and I'm like yeah like my
first thought is just like oh shit someone is actually like I am actually prepared right now because like when we go away
on trips
When we go away on trips, I don't sleep well when I'm away from home
I don't just because I'm hyper aware of the fact that like I'm just not in my own environment strangers house like I'm bro
I mean, I am in a stranger's house like there's doors that are locked
I don't know what the fuck is behind those doors like I don't know who can just walk in at any time
You know it's just a weird concept
the fact that like
As I heard it I jumped up like oh shit. It's go time, and then it's just fucking your noodle head around the corner
Just like numb
And yeah, I'm lucky you didn't fucking attack
me well that's the other funny part is that if there was someone that actually
broke in I was in such a compromising position well also you said you couldn't
like there was it looked like the lights were on bro can I be honest with you
also like now what I'm picturing this it looks like you were laying on your back
and that your feet were like touching the ground like in front of the bed
Like when I'm picturing walking into your room, that's what I'm picturing you seeing. That's what I'm picturing.
So there was a light bulb in the room that I couldn't figure out how to turn off
Yeah, but it was one of those where it's like the light bulb like the bottom like two-thirds of it is like
Painted it's like a chrome paint. So like the light only comes out the top of it, so it's very dim
It's it's like it simulates like what I imagine like dusk
You know what I imagine like I haven't seen a fucking sunset
But like I couldn't figure out so like it was still dark enough that I was able to sleep
But like there was a there was light well
Thank God because what if I came in and you couldn't see yeah, it would have been a problem
It would have been like oh
And I would have I don't even know as a person who's in a dream state
Yeah, I don't even know how it would have reacted to that bro. It was so
Pete help me out here I start wrestling like a chair have you ever sleep walk slept walk I
have walked I have before it's only happened like three times in my
life but like I'm glad I was on the receiving end of one of them I've done
this thing we're like you know when you're it's not about like you know when
you're like kind of asleep but you're having a conversation like maybe you're
on the phone yeah like you're here and it's like you're out but then you're
back in and you keep like you don't want to you don't want to like leave the conversation or something
Yeah, so it's that's the only times that stuff like that has happened to me where I've been like
I'll say something and then I'm like wait that
Yeah, so cuz I'm in and out of sleep, so I guess that's what happened
I remember those days where you'll be like in a conversation about the weather and you'll just be like but it doesn't matter because of
Cupcakes and you're like what the fuck? Yeah, what are you saying? What is what you know when I was younger?
My brother told me that like my brother Thomas walked into the room
And he said that I sat up out of bed, and I looked at him
And I was like I already recorded that and he was like okay, and just shut the door so weird
Yeah, that's a weird thing that happens. It's scary. I there have been times where like I'm like supposed to wake up and like
whatever version of me is
Conscious at that time is just like a different human
We're like actually this morning oddly enough because I got to sleep super late last night my alarm went off
And Becca was just like staying in sleep, and I Remember being like no I need to wake up. I need to get stuff done, and then I rolled back over and went to sleep
It's so weird it is you don't understand I need this
basically yeah, bro there there's been instances where miles will walk into our room and
I know how you are if there was a if there was a middle of the night child at the end of your bed if I was sleeping over your
house and like miles walked into my room was like yeah I don't I don't know what's
going on I'd be like dude get away like a pillow up like he's been at like the
edge of our bed and like we'll be like what's up it must be like well wait well
and he like mumbles and we're like miles you up? And he'll just be like, well, what... And he mumbles, and we're like, Miles, you're asleep.
And he's like, what?
Like, again, what is it about sleepwalkers that like,
what you're doing and being sane is so crazy to them?
Why are you even suggesting something like that?
Yeah, you're sleepwalking.
Huh? What?
Insane. Hysterical.

the images of your dreams would you you do that? Because you often...
I would, but like...
You like, you wake up and write your dreams down.
Yeah.
Sometimes I have really funny dreams.
But the ones that are like, the ones that make me laugh
are the ones I wake up and I start writing notes.
I went through a phase where I was writing down my dreams all the time
because they were just psychotic
and it would make me laugh when I would read them in the morning. And then sometimes I'd
be like that in that in and out state and I would write stuff and then I'd wake up and
read it and I'd be like, this makes no sense.
Some of the ones that you've told me it was like someone was like chewing on a wiener
like a chicken wing or something like that.
Oh, I was chewing on my own penis. I had a dream where I was chewing on my own penis
And it was like like I had my penis in my hands, and I was I would bite and I
God I love chicken wings separate out loud is so funny
But I was I was biting into it and would flake off like a chicken wing would I imagine and I was like I?
chicken wing would. I imagine. And I was like, I woke up like what the hell am I doing? That makes sense. Quick, top five favorite chicken wing flavors slash sauces. Buffalo, garlic
parm. Hell yeah. Lemon pepper. I'm not a lemon pepper guy. What? Too dusty. Too dusty. I
like a dust. I'm cool with a honey barbecue. I don't hate honey bar. I can't be barbara
I got sticky honey barbecue that I don't like I will say I
crush
Barbecue sauce I literally had to buy a sugar-free barbecue sauce because I just realized how much I'm eating high fructose cord syrup man
That shit gets you dude. It was like two tablespoons was like 70 80 calories. I was like okay
This is insane, then I got a sugar-free one that I have now two tablespoons ten
Yeah, so I wrapped my lips around the opening and I turned my head up and I let it go all the way in you understand
That was insane, and I apologize. I just did a trump point. I apologize. I apologize
That was so not gay with me big
Trump point I apologize apologize that was so not gave me big sorry that's the straightest you wish I was gay you so wish I don't wish I wouldn't be very good
but if I was gay I would be very gay I'd be the gayest
oh man RuPaul oh men would come I so all that to say barbecue wings but I'm not
crazy about barbecue wings I like barbecue barbecue honey, but we're boring
I'm cool with that's what I'm saying barbecue is just like uh
So we got we got garlic parm honestly love a good garlic parm, but I'm not talking a dry rub garlic parm
I want like I want a little web watch this thing to just fucking be an explosion of flavor in my face
Yeah, I will say it sounds like I I'm being insensitive by saying it,
but any Asian teriyaki.
You're bugging.
They're good.
Oh, oh.
I was going to say it feels like I'm being mean by like,
what wings you want?
Ooh, let me get the Asian zing.
That feels like there's not like, we're going to,
like 20 years look back on that be like that was kind of not
That was weird. What do you mean like the name of this? Yeah?
like remember we had one that was like
nuclear like I remember around like oh
It was a Hawaiian fire and it was like when all those ha fires were happening in Maui
There was like a chicken wing flavor that was like Hawaiian fire when the fuck did I didn't have that?
I'm not saying we had it, but it was like a thing that like so I did not
What's it what's another flavor sweet chili sweet chili that shit is fire never had it all Asian mango habanero is
I'm in for it. Yep. I'm in for it. I'm not a big dry rub guy. I like I like a dry rub
I like like a Cajun. I like Cajun like seasoning. I don't know about on wings though
I need my wings to be wet. Yeah this one. I'm on Buffalo Wild Wings website right now. Thai curry sauce
I haven't had it. I mean sounds great. It does sound good. I love I love curry
Oh, there is an Asian zing sauce. That's what I'm saying
You think I don't know the buffalo while we're saying like I don't know
It's something like Asian zing and you made it seem like it was like you made it up
That's the best flavor to there pretty much is that the regular buffalo spicy garlic anything that has garlic in the name
I'm fucking down. Yeah, a hundred percent. Yeah, anything. That's like. Oh like a or an a-ol-e, bro
I'm a fucking whore for an aioli
I love that shit. I like an aioli. Love that
Honey barbecue parmesan garlic now we're talking crazy
Teriyaki always good. Yeah, teriyaki is good mild sauce grow up grow up, but like I get it
Sweet barbecue isn't barbecue just sweet already like
No, that's like honey barbecue
Chipotle mayo shit is fine
You look isn't that like one of your favorite comp like chipotle mayo condiments. Yeah, Chipotle mayo. It's unbelievable
Salt and vinegar I've never had a salt and vinegar wing feels like your mouth is gonna be raw
It's awful like you got gang banged by like pinheads cock
Wow, I feel like that was so crazy to say. What were we talking
about? The wings, the AI. Oh so will you do the dream thing? What's a price point that
you were like alright that's too much. If it was 300 bucks. Of course I was doing that
for 300 bucks. If it's 500 bucks. Anything a thousand. I would say yes if it's a
thousand
Wait what it what it what is it though is it?
And it's the actual one so you talk to it you tell you dream is be like eyes I walk in my friend's room Pete Joey Franky there, and it'll animate it and put it on the screen
I probably wouldn't pay too much for that. I think anything under a thousand
I would pay for that just to see how it is, but like,
I would pay more if they just, if it did it automatically.
Cause a lot of times I don't remember the dream enough to be able to explain.
So you want to like put something on or in your head?
Crazy.
I guess.
That's crazy to me.
Like these people that are like-
I don't want to put anything in, I'm not saying put, like drill into my head.
Well like there's shit that came out recently that like I think it was meta is like
Doing like the Neuralink thing like Tesla not Tesla
But Elon is doing where it's like they you can like operate a smartphone with just your brain
Crazy, this is some black mirror. Literally black mirror. I'm good, bro. I get the version 2
You say that all the time because
the first version always has bugs and glitches a big bang boom people will get
the first one I'll just get the updated one it's fair I'm just what if it came
with a lifetime supply of twisted tees no it's my brain are you still on the
twisted tea train no twisty lights came out those are nice what if it came with
a lifetime twist it brother no but I do like a twisty light bro I didn't send it to you I have you ever
seen those tic-tacs out of just like this incredible pull it for my
grandmother's fridge and it's like an old like sauce jar or like your mustard
bottle or something like that it's like expired and gross. Yeah, but it's just like what the logo is. I have an old like
2010 Miller Lite
In my fridge this is just looks so cool
And it's it's the one that it's the blue can with like it's just like Miller Lite and gold on the side pull it up
Look at the old bro
beer like logos now like I can't wait until we get out of this whole like,
minimalistic design era and we go back to being a little louder, because like,
they're just not doing it anymore. I mean, I think that's a pretty crazy statement
to make. I feel like if anything, at least with like IPAs like dial-up. Hell yeah!
Look at that son of a bitch. That's the one the gold can one yeah baby that's what that's getting you
excited
tell me that doesn't look sick it is cool I can't it's what it looks like an
iced tea though

fridge at my new house. It's still like it is going to be kept forever and ever. And ever and ever and ever
And if I You'll be back
Like before I will fight the fighting window war
for your love
or your praise
Great, it's great song unbelievable. Um
The I you know the thing is like I
Don't know I feel like if I if, the thing that I'm talking about existed and then I watched a
nightmare that I had, that I would be like, why the hell was I afraid of that?
It makes no sense.
Yeah, but it's different because when you're, when, when it's your nightmare, you're in
it, you're experiencing it.
Like it's the same with like playing video games.
There are people that can watch movies and be like, this isn't terrifying, but like you
play a video game, like you're in control and it's like you are doing it,
it's scary.
I would pay money,
Ant, did you ever play Outlast?
I did.
I would pay money to see you play Outlast.
Oh, that'd be a great video.
That would be an incredible video.
Is that one of those scary video games?
The video, the game basically, it's a video game.
It's like an eight hour story
and you're stuck in an abandoned asylum The video the game basically it's a video game. It's like an eight-hour story and
You're stuck in an abandoned asylum, and you need to get out
I'm good, dude. He won't make it far. He could play the demo that'd be long enough
Fuck you you just you won't I'll do the asylum
Now you were you one of those kids grumps like you was just insane asylum, let's go fucking stay in it overnight. Absolutely not.
Bro, people did that on Long Island all the time! I know, everyone talked about like,
Yo, I stayed in an insane asylum.
Like it was gonna get them fucking laid.
Bro, there was this, yeah.
Like, oh you know-
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
Oh, you- you- you stayed in an insane asylum?
Ladies, this guy right here.
Also, aren't those hospitals?
I don't know what that is.
Well, they're abandoned.
I know, but like it abandoned one are you aware of a building that there's just quote-unquote insane people in I'm not
a man like well flew over the cuckoo's I think I think mental health facilities
still exist I know but like are they like called insane asylum no because the
term insane
Asylum is I think it's like kind of not of more to say that anymore Where's what I mean you know well like I don't like I think when you're younger
And you think I think of an insane asylum. I think of like
For whatever reason they got shut and shit well
They got shut down because they were like inhumane because they actually like they'd be like, oh, you know
a guy in the fucking 30s would be like my wife is
Menstruating but she's crazy. Let's throw in the asylum and they fucking lobotomize this poor woman and she comes out drooling
Yeah before they knew what like schizophrenia was they were like, oh my god, this guy's a monster
Yeah, put him in a jacket where he can't move. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She she has the blues once a week
So I sent her for a quick fucking brain surgery
You know like she's got the blues
I know you'd go into those places and they were just like shackles in the wall and shit like that those are the places
I would shut down. Yeah, that's fucking terrifying. I would never do any of that. I remember there was a story where it was like
My phone is ringing and it's in my ass sorry um that was
crazy you didn't hate it that was the eighth time it rang go for a while it
rang five times sorry I just came there was a story that I would hear when I was
younger was like there was a baby that died over here or there was something
about like an insane asylum it's like you would drive and there was like a
there was children who died a blah blah blah and then i forget who but someone was like
what you do is you put a baby powder on your back windshield they had all that shit you see handprints on yeah yeah yeah
you drive by and i'm like yeah listen one i don't believe that too if it happened to me forget about it yeah there's all those where it's just like you're driving down this like very haunted road and like
because like the owner of this house was killed as
They were drowned to death so in order to pass you need to spray water out your car in order to not get that ghost
It's like shut the fuck up, but I'm just gonna go to bed just like I'm not gonna go there
I love bro. I love all those like I'm so glad we are in the like the age that we are
we're like social media and the internet is basically just taking these like
ridiculous things from back then and people just like guys I was so stupid
like back in the day when like these urban legends would be like you know oh
man that's old man Rick and he killed his whole family with a shovel so
if you see him shoveling he's planning his next murder and it's just like or
it's a fucking poor old man that needs go help him shovel like home alone we're
like yeah that guy's killed people he salts the sidewalks with the fucking
bones of other children he's like it's a guy taking care of the neighborhood yeah
he's literally so he doesn't get sued by all these incredibly litigious people in Chicago suburbs not to mention
He is estranged from his family. Let's feel bad for this man. Yeah making up stories. He was also old as fuck though
He wasn't that old he was he was young enough to beat the shit out of two robbers with a shovel beat the shit
He they had their backs hurt
And he hit one when they had his back turn the other one turn and he hit him
For a home alone has been on to my house the last three days the kids are obsessed with it right now
He knocked them off their feet Frank and one of them one of them is Joe Pesci
You mean you could beat up 1990 Joe Pesci
Yeah, you today could beat up 1990 Joe Pesci. I think so that guy would beat the fucking brakes off
It's kind of hulkish how tall are you I'm 511 at least he's honest yeah I well I mean
cuz yeah can't get away with six foot he is hulkish he's hulkish he strikes me as
someone that would be like pretty strong bench I hate that like someone's strength
is relegated to like what they could bench curious sounds like someone who doesn't have a high bench does
I've always been pretty well. It's just it's just such a like a funny thing to
Be like how strong are you how much can you bench? I'm more impressed by squats
Really? Yeah, that's fair squats a little easier though
Than benching yeah, your numbers could usually be higher on the squat well
Just because yeah, your leg muscles are larger than your fucking
Chest and your pecs what so what is your bench? I think I could get like I can't do 225 yet
I get like 220. I'm like right there. Yeah
220 you can get to 20 bro that five pounds is
like a mountain it is
Yeah, you strike me as someone that's like crazy strong. Well. I'm still talking about Joe pesci
I'm not saying I could beat up
I feel like Daniel Stern my crazy for that would have beaten the shit out of you who's Daniel Stern the guy that plays?
Marv oh
What Harry Harry that's why I said Joe pesci. Yeah, I don't I'm not gonna that guy has weird eyes. You know crazy eyes
Yeah, he's got some stuff going on here
Maybe you could he's got stringy hair
Such a good movie, dude. So fucking good.
