Welcome back to the base-
Welcome back to the basement yard. There's Frank cheesing like a third grader on photo day.
I'm trying- I'm trying to do like the Mr. Beast like
Smile and appear happy but like there's nothing going on. The eyes are dead. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I know you're saying. Just like can you smile? Because you smile? Yeah, but like your eyes smile with you you smiles. You got a smile. No eyes. Yeah, that's what I'm doing now
No, you're still smiling though. You actually just did like a like you raise your eyebrow. Well now it's difficult
I'm very sick. So for the people who are listening who are like, you know, you sound like shit
I am a little sick a little under the weather and
I drank a bunch of DayQuil today, so that's probably why. Had some NyQuil last night that puts you down like a dead fucking old dog.
Slept really well, had weird dreams. Dead old dog? Yeah. Yeah weird dream. Your dreams at a baseline are weird.
So for the most part I sleep pretty well. Are your NyQuil dreams just like...
They're deep dude. Um I guess that's where the idea of fever dream comes from, huh?
Maybe.
When people say like, oh, that was a fever dream, like, is just so fucking crazy.
I don't think I had a fever.
I'm just like, congested.
But I did have a...
very full cap...
of the, um...
of the Nyquil green flavor. Oh, green Nyquil. Which is actually not the night will the green flavor
oh green actually not the worst in the world I've had other isn't there like a
like a purple like a dark purple one that just like puts you on your age
probably I'd rather that one this green one didn't taste bad it was kind of like
like a toothpaste oil type of thing I've had an orange one the day quill is orange that is dog shit
yeah I dog shit it's not if it comes in
remember those orange like prescription bottles yeah if it comes in that chances
are it's not gonna taste yummy
well it doesn't like the actual liquid is that
I know but they have certain bottles that are like the bottle color is orange
oh I haven't had that also you so you're high as a kite right now.
I'm not high, I mean, I'm just a little dayquil.
Well, isn't that what people use to make, like, lean or sizerp?
I'm not familiar with the recipe.
Or is that a robo-tussin? What's the difference? I'm not quite sure.
I'm sure there's very different things.
I can't imagine mixing, like, cough syrup into and out like a drink and like drinking it
I will say this I don't condone people drinking lean
at all
But it looks delicious. I mean I mean it looks delicious. It does look delicious
It's like cough syrup sprite and like Jolly Ranchers in there
Which honestly you kind of got me on board with.
That's what I'm saying, like it doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world. Although I didn't have any of that.
I don't know. I don't want to like, you know what though? I took the regular amount that you're supposed to take.
You know what though? I got a business idea for you. Actually, for us, we're gonna go on this at the ground floor, 50-50, and you could be in, 30%.
Oh yeah, I'll take 30%. Something tells me I'm not gonna be in'm not gonna be well you need a help we're gonna be in this together you should
start a line because now pre-mixed cocktails is the big thing you go to a
liquor store and there's pre you know pre-made pre-canned made rum and coax or mojitos or margaritas let's start a line but it's
like day quail night quail cough syrup
so it's just like a nice like little fun way that you can like
get your medicine and I think you're describing what the product is it's a
liquid
yeah but like make it into like a more
because those liquids could be a little tough to drink like some people like
they taste like dog shit I mean I'd rather it be over in like a quick because those liquids could be a little tough to drink like some people like they taste like dog shit
I mean, I don't know it'd be over in like a quick shot then like enjoy a whole drink
I mean if you could listen, it's the year of our Lord 2025 people are becoming more and more
creative with
their their cocktail skills
Wait, you want to make it an alcoholic drink? No, no, no, no, it would be non-alcoholic, but it would be like Nyquil branded spritz.
Yeah.
You know?
This is a horrendous idea.
Really bad?
Can you imagine taking that stuff that tastes so bad and just like, spreading it out over
the course of a go?
But like, you can mix it with like a, you know, like a sprite. If sprite would be on board.
Sprite, if you're listening, which I have a feeling you might be.
I feel like your idea is falling apart at the seams here.
I don't think so.
I think this is a great idea.
I think it's one of my stronger ideas.
I know that you think that.
But like, it's all the craze right now.
Let it go.
Do you like, on the bottle does it say only take like three times a day or something like that?
It says...
Well, you know what's funny actually this morning, it was like basically torture what I did.
I, because I took NyQuil last night and then I woke up and I felt like a lot better than I did the day before.
I also got an IV yesterday, no big deal.
Just my thing now.
Um, and I woke up, and as I was getting ready, I was like, alright, I'm gonna take some Dayquil.
So I put it, I like filled up a cap, and I drank it, but I kept it in my mouth,
because I thought, oh, how often are you supposed to take this shit?
So then I went on my phone, and I was Googling while it was still in my mouth because I thought, oh, how often are you supposed to take this shit? So then I went on my phone and I was googling while it was still in my mouth and it's fucking disgusting
Yeah, and I was just like looking it up. But apparently you can take it like every like uh, you could put take like two ounces
Or whatever the fuck it is for uh, every four to six hours. So I was like, oh i'm chilling
You should do an experiment
All right?
More ideas?
It's just as good as my old idea.
It might honestly be even better.
An experiment.
Take a bunch, not a bunch,
take a standard dosage of NyQuil.
By the way, don't do this, anyone that's listening.
And then also chase it down with like a Red Bull
and see what kicks in first.
See what kicks in?
I mean I think that defeats the purpose of the entire thing.
You think they'll just negate each other?
I mean I think that it probably shouldn't do that.
And I'm not.
Yeah you shouldn't.
I'm no cardiologist.
What's the, what do you want to get out of this?
Just see what happens.
You don't run experiments in your life just to see like what's gonna happen not with my health. Oh, yeah me neither
I like I like taking the extra strength Nyquil and just seeing how long I could wake stay up
And it feels like you're melting into your I can beat Nyquil. Mm-hmm
Like I for sure can beat Nyquil like without a doubt. It's just when you give in to the sleep. It's hard
It doesn't really put me to sleep as much as it like, it steps on my head when
I'm asleep.
Really?
Yeah.
Like it puts you to like...
I sleep.
Really?
Yeah.
It's nice.
I might need to start...
I probably shouldn't.
Nope.
You haven't had a good idea since we started this episode.
Here's what I should do.
No.
Start taking it. I mean they've made like Z quill
Which is basically just a sleep aid. It's yeah, like they don't have like any like they have that chemicals or medicines in it
And stuff like that. I know people that take it and they conk hard
I mean, I think Mikey is one of the people that like yeah, he said he's taking it. I'm not a big like
You know
Supplement person like that. Neither am mine I don't I don't really
do any of that I rarely take even Advil and Tylenol if I have a headache for a
day I'll just like let it rock for the most part yeah ever since I learned that
like most headaches can be cured just by drinking a ton of water I've stopped but
like there was a time where like I would take like every other day I would take
Advil yeah I'm only quilling because we have a show tomorrow. Yeah. So I'm like I gotta like speed this up. I mean I'm not
I'm not like I it takes a lot for me I could fall asleep anywhere almost any
time but my issue is staying asleep so like NyQuil and like ZQuil and like
gummies of what Melatonin they're not gonna do much for me because I can fall asleep. It's a staying asleep. That's a problem
I mean, I think all that stuff is supposed to help you. I know what's supposed to do
I'm telling you what it doesn't do your your yeah, I just don't know
I just can't I just how many times do you wake up every night? I mean, it's not like I wake up
I'm but like I I toss and turn and while I'm tossing I'm turning I'm aware that I am awake awake
You know like it's not like I'm like is it a long time though that it takes you a long time to go back to
Sleep not particularly, but like I I can't tell you the last time also
I have kids, but that even with the kids sleeping through the night
I can't tell you the last time I had like a full night of sleep and woken up in the morning
Like holy shit. It's the morning wow yeah that's bad yeah not great yeah that's
really great and like it's crazy because like when we'll be on tour the idea is
like oh like get a great night of sleep doesn't happen for me how often are you
waking up do you think at least three times times. But like again, it's not like a, I'm awake.
It's like a, I roll over but my, but I know that I'm rolling over.
Like I'm consciously doing it.
It's not like it's-
Awake.
Yeah.
Yeah but it's not like, I'm not like fully awake though.
Like that's the thing. There's like a, there's like a twilight in the, in between.
Yeah.
And, you know, that sucks.
The burden I must bear. I feel like people I toss and turn.
It's I have a app that tells me when I'm like moving or like
I'm snoring or something like that. It'll like tell me so I
can track all that stuff. So like I can hear on that thing
like movement like it'll say movement and I can hear myself
moving but I don't remember that really yeah
Like I don't remember moving at all. Oh, I sound like I sleep and I just like don't move like definitely move
I remember him. I'm also like I'll hear something in the house. I'll be like oh what
Who is that who goes there?
basically, I
Give a weapon I
Mean I got these right here. He's bad boys right. I do have a panic button
What I have a panic button? What's that? I mean? I know what it is well there you go
Then you answered your own question well
I know that your house isn't what I'm thinking it is now. I don't have a panic room is a bank no, so I
Have a button that if I press it it it immediately alerts the authorities that like, there's panic about.
Panic?
Is this something you bought?
Yeah.
Life Alert?
How does it work?
It's literally, it looks like, it's like Life Alert. Sure, my grandmother used to have Life Alert.
So you have Life Alert.
But it's not Life Alert. It's through a sponsor of the show.
Oh! SimpliSafe. Yeah, what's up? I'm a big... They have a panic button? Hell yeah they do. But it's not life alert. It's through a sponsor of the show. Oh
Yeah, what's up? I'm a big they have a panic but hell yeah, they do so what does it look like it?
literally looks like a little remote and there's one button on it and it's red and it's a red button and
It's hidden somewhere in my room. Uh-huh, so
Shall I need to panic?
Panic I will did you have you ever press it? No
Does it have a glass case? It does not have a glass case. Is it just out and about? It's hidden. No, I mean like
Like like the kids can find it and they can press it right? That's but let's hope that doesn't happen
But like my grandmother had life alert and she used to press that shit regularly. And they would just pull up?
No! I've told this story. My grandmother had it, but it was on one of those like, beaded chains.
You know, like the metal beaded chains that you like, you know, like put on the sides of the clasp.
And she would regularly clean it.
So she would press it a lot?
So she would press it and, and, and there was a box like...
Wait, why is she cleaning a necklace?
It was like a plastic button on a necklace
and she would get food or something out of, I don't know.
She didn't know what she was doing.
You expect me to know?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But she would clean it.
And then there was a box in our dining room
and it was like a, once she would press it, they would call through the box. It was like box in our in our dining room and it was like a once
she would press it they would call through the box it was like lined in
with the phone they got you good yeah literally we there was one time where
she did it and I was so annoyed because she was upstairs I was in the living
room and I just hear and it always sounds like whoever is calling is like
mid transportation to our house like it's like no windows down
like are you kidding me we're on our way yeah and she was upstairs and I was like
yeah I you pressed it again and she was like what she couldn't hear me so I was
frustrated so I'm yelling over to this box I'm like she's fine she's completely
fine and they were just like okay it's kind of like the boy who cried wolf though, because what if your grandma was up there and she really liked it?
I think, yeah, I think that they knew my grandmother though, and they knew that she was pressing the thing.
For those situations, like, just respond to every single situation.
Do you think you could accidentally press this button?
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You should test it out
probably should right yeah see if it works see the response time I should just
say I mean I'm sure I think there are like legal things behind like falsely
calling the authorities lie yep oh I'm I don't like that I don't like lying I'm
not like oh I thought I'm not gonna do I'm sure there's a test mode maybe I'll test mode it out how would you test other
than knowing that they well like simply say if this is a pure fuck you call them
and be like you know you could put no you could put your system in test mode
so like you can test like if you let the alarm go off what it sounds like I got
like an extra loud it's like a hundred five decibel alarm
Just to just in case anyone breaks into his house the entire family goes deaf I mean that's a that's a huge deterrent a loud alarm rather be deaf and alive or
deaf and alive yes
deaf and alive yes, and they know exactly which room it's coming from now, and I mean you are that's fine
If someone does break in and rather them come straight to my room
than to anyone else's fucking room.
Yeah, that's a fair point.
But it's, I'll put it in test mode and see what happens.
We're gonna figure this out.
We're gonna mythbust this thing.
We have no idea.
Right now, I don't have a weapon,
but I have several lined up for me.
Anybody know what that means? Anyone? I have several lined up for me. Anybody know what that means?
Anyone?
I have several lined up for me?
Yeah, like I- What does that mean?
I just need to get my registration
and I have been told that I will be gifted several guns.
Oh my God, dude.
Making the transition to conservative is very interesting.
Well, no, hold on.
I'm not going like full fucking AR-16
there it is you know I transition is
nearly complete I have weapons lined up for me
I have been told are they cool or are they like old hunting
pretty cool ones yeah it's a pretty cool ones I think don't I think one of them
I think one of them is a shotgun that's insane
I mean I mean I'm just trying to scare a burglar.
I mean, what scares a burglar more than a fucking...
Get out!
Yeah, but if you had to shoot that thing, it's like...
Now we're talking about redoing the entire living room.
I'll be the one at the top of the stairs.
That like, I hear a burglar downstairs and I just cock it and go,
You got a minute to get out.
You got a minute to get out. got a minute to get out the guys like fuck you Frank puts all he's like I'm giving you a warning shot takes out
his fucking roof
That would be something
What a shotgun yeah, dude imagine shotgunning a person disgusting yeah, I wouldn't be pumped about that
I wouldn't feel good about it
I would be the one that like in these movies where I'm like holding the gun to them, and I was like,
COME ON, LEAVE!
Don't you make me fucking do it!
Don't make me do it!
Which would scare me more, honestly.
What?
If he's freaking out like that.
Yeah, if you like break into someone's house and they have a gun out and they're crying, I'd be like,
Oh my god, I'm so dead.
Oh my god, I just realized I have like a
really high-powered flashlight that has a strobe effect on it yeah I gotta keep
that with it right absolutely because I got to do it to the top I gotta do that
I gotta do the tape and I gotta have it strobing so if I find it like what a
little like wait what the fuck is happening this is you honestly we're starting to dip into the toes of like
conservative world right now, so like maybe we're like the show is gonna. We're gonna be like I know how much you want to become like
Conservative podcast of the year. I love how you're trying to flip this on me
It was a good attempt, but I I stand by you want to be a cop
I've always stood by what you're doing down there
That's a cool way to hold it out of my fucking kitchen. I
Want to like is everyone's rooms on the second floor? Yeah, I don't want to talk about the layout of your home actually
I will say when you just said high-powered flashlight, and then the strobe effect
I'm like that might be the most effective like way
To like deter someone because if I'm getting hit with a giant strobe,
I'm my entire, I'm useless.
Dude, I can't see.
Do you remember as kids going to school dances
and they had a strobe and it was just like,
what the fuck, where the fuck am I?
Yeah, because it's like your hand's here
and then it's there.
Yeah, and the reason why I loved the strobe
when I was younger is because I looked like such a good dancer love the strobe when I was younger is cuz I looked like such
A good dancer in a strobe dude
I looked like such a good dancer cuz like I can like move a little but in a strobe
I'm fucking like Michael Jackson. You know dude
It's like I remember when strobe effects would come on at like our elementary school dances
which by the way, we also are not sensitive to strobing effects, which is
Very we're very lucky because there are people that are very very sensitive yeah they got that leps yeah well the epilepses not the leprosy I
don't know if they're sensitive just like yeah boiling it down to the leps
but like I remember like I felt like I was eight
years old and I was like fucking Hataway
like I was at like an a rave in fucking
Manhattan just like what is love love
baby don't hurt me and it's like fucking
ding ding ding ding ding ding ding oh
wow I feel like I'm there yeah I love a
good strobe man oh Oh what I wish I
Know we could do them at our shows do we do them in our shows now that I think about it
Do we do it times their strobe when we walk out they do strobe?
But like it doesn't hit as hard as like an actual strobe
What is the difference between like the strobing effect is it like a specific light like a strobe light is very unique
I think it's just the intensity of the
like
Obviously, it's like on and off type of thing, but I think it's the intensity of the light
Let's get a strobe in here dude and like the speed obvious
Let's get a strobe in here and just fucking do with a strobe dance like we're in a 90s like Euro pop fucking
Music video. I mean, I don't know how long I would last in a strobe
I like I think you should only probably strobe for like 10 seconds anything more than that is crazy
Let's make a deal you buy a strobe light for the studio
I'll put together the best dance playlist you've ever heard in your entire life Frank
We both know this isn't gonna happen. I know like I'm not I'm not buying a strobe light. A boy could dream
You know your dream is for a strobe light
My dream is for
Honestly honestly right now. It's a little bit of a strobe like you remember that there was the Pokemon episode
I got banned because of the strobe light
No, you didn't hear about this there was a strobe light in Pokemon
Yeah, so the very first season there was the episode that had the Pokemon portagon in it merpory gone yeah yeah they're like a bunch of shapes
yeah yeah yeah it the episode itself had a strobing effect I think it was like
when like portagon and Pikachu like use their moves at the same time and several
hundred kids across Japan had like epileptic seizures, seizures,
or maybe seizures, yes, as a result,
and they pulled the episode forever,
and it's like a lost piece of content.
We wouldn't be able to pull it up
because of like, it causes epilepsy,
but whatever you're imagining, it's eight times worse.
It's so intensely bad.
Yeah. You've seen it?
Yeah, I've seen it.
You could see clips of it.
I mean, we could pull it up for us. We never put it on you know God forbid but like it was
like that intense that like since then and unless I'm mistaken I don't think the
Pokemon Porygon has appeared in an episode since I don't know deep for me
it's a deeper cut I don't work for the company like that's crazy you know have
you seen it yeah I've seen it is it
Try to pull it up. I just say it's so bad
It is because the color mix is like very intense and like obviously like yo you're yeah
Yeah, and bro, and it's on a 90s
CRT TV like that are smaller and like kids are sitting this fucking close to it
You know because they're watching Pokemon to begin with yeah, so So it was, it was, I never saw the actual episode,
but like afterward I've seen like the clips of it
and stuff like that.
Yeah.
I can, I can show you.
It's so intense, but I mean we won't pop it up I guess.
Because I feel like I've seen some shows where
it'll say like there might be some strobe in this
or whatever like yeah so
they still do it but they just have to warn people that it's a thing it's only
it's only 10 seconds like 12 seconds but just just watch this
uh oh yep gonna have to lower that for sure
oh yeah that's not great it's just like yeah this whole like this is yeah the
whole screen yeah and it's and I don't I'm not a math scientist
I mean definitely not a math site all right not a color scientist, but like I know that there are colors that are more
triggering for people like in terms of like you know with epilepsy that seems like it is a
cocktail of
Not yeah, that'll do it, I think.
It's just the full screen of flashing colors.
There's no subject matter.
Yeah, there's nothing there except what is there.
So you had nightmares.
I did have nightmares.
Well, not that I had nightmares.
I just had deep, deep, deep sleep dreams.
Did you hear the report?
Did you have any cheese yesterday?
Cheese?
Yeah?
Did you have any cheese yesterday? Cheese? Yeah? Did you have any cheese yesterday with my doctor?
Did you have any cheese yesterday? I don't think so.
Well, there's a rep- I just saw this the other day. That's strange that it popped up.
There's reportedly a new study that shows that certain types of cheese can give you like intense nightmares.
Cheese.
Cheese baby.
I mean Greg, we know any cheese gives Greg nightmares.
I don't know.
I mean...
Wait, like specific cheese?
Yeah, I'm pulling them up now.
So there are some that are more like...
You're more prone to nightmares?
More prone. I think Brie was one of them.
Like, just like the creamier cheeses that... more like more prone to nightmares? I think Bree was one of them
like just like
the creamier cheeses
I've never had a cheesy nightmare in my life
really? I don't have a lot of nightmares
when's the like my last nightmare?
I mean I've had like weird
stuff I just told you I had that dream where I was like
balding and had pimples in my fucking bald spots
and shit I don't know if I would call that a nightmare a nightmare is like I wake up
And I'm like holy fuck like people were getting shot or shoot. I always have like creepy face nightmares creepy face
Yeah, like creepy face like exorcist face not always when I have the face
When I have a nightmare, that's mostly what it is, but like your face is like that or so no no like I'll be like
I'll look in the mirror
And I'll see like you know a face like exorcist face. Yeah, oh
That's a spooky one. Yeah, I don't like that that was like the ultimate like jump scare like back in like the days of like funny
Junk calm
You know the medicine cabinet
Medicine oh like they'd close it and they're like fine. Oh, and they close it like oh my god We're behind me well the one that was very famous was the one that was like the drive
Through like the hills of like the other ones and then the zombie like popped up or hated that so that was a tough one
Made me fucking yell the maze game the maze game was a big one. I remember that they had all of those back then I
Didn't like that fucking at all, but if if I were to tell you that cheese can...
If this study is legit, would you stop eating cheese?
No.
What?
Are you insane?
I just want to make sure.
You can tell me so much worse things in the world, and I would still eat the cheese.
Nightmares?
It's alright.
Would you give up? What's the first cheese you'd be willing to give up?
Like, you're cool with cheese.
There's cheeses that I don't even like.
Really? I think.
I don't think I've had a cheese I don't like.
Oh, that's not true. Cottage.
Cottage cheese is not horrific, but like, for me it is.
I mean, I wouldn't eat just like, I wouldn't just raw a dog some cottage cheese.
People do that.
No, I know. But like, I wouldn't do that I don't
even know I don't know cheese that well like I know cheese but like not like
you're not like boys with cheese yeah I mean the last thing I'm giving up is
that fucking parmesan parmese mozzarella mozzi's yo American cheese I'm good bro
technically it's not even cheese but I like American cheese? I'm good, bro. Technically, it's not even cheese, but I like American cheese.
I don't like it.
It's the perfect, I learned from that movie, the menu.
It's the perfect cheese for a burger, because it doesn't split.
It stays gooey.
Yeah, I'm cool on American cheese. I don't need it.
I mean, we probably, you're better than I am.
We probably shouldn't be having it.
I don't need Swiss cheese either. I'm good. I'm pretty good with Swiss cheese.
You alright over there? Yeah, I hurt a little. Are you at least impressed that I got up that
high for that long? I almost felt like impressed that I could hear that because you know how
like you get to a certain age where you can't hear that anymore that decibel yeah
They have those things those tests where it's like only under 30 can hear this pin you know
It's crazy cuz I'm like that. I don't even really believe in but I know that it's real
So alright, you're not giving up any type of cheese. You'll give up American and Swiss
I mean if someone told me every time you cheese you're gonna have a nightmare
It would not affect my life at all if someone said you have to give up American and Swiss I mean if someone told me every time you cheese you're gonna have a nightmare it would not affect my life
at all if someone said you have to give up five cheeses at but but you'll never
have a nightmare ever again you'll take the nightmares no I'm sure there's five
cheeses that I haven't even had I'm alright I'm not saying like you know
some like no I'm not gonna be lost in cheeses. You're not giving up five cheese
I probably know seven
You know more than seven cheeses Joe you could probably go ten bro. You just named two four you just American cheese Swiss cheese I
Could give up Brie. I guess you said mozzarella you said
Parmesan so there's five right there, baby. You know at least five more cheeses.
Cheddar.
Bang.
Does Jack add anything?
Yeah, Jack!
But like, Jack cheddar is, you know?
I think Jack is its own thing.
I thought Jack was like, it's just cheddar cheese with shit in it.
I mean, different type.
All right.
I love that cheese.
Jack is a good guy.
Good, good guy, good cheese is what's nacho cheese fake
Right, but we'll put it in there. I could give that up. Yeah that I'm fine with giving up, too
But I do love my pretzel bites. Oh, I'm a whore for some pretzel bites
That cheese is so nasty that like
I'm good. Yeah, not pumped about that. I'm good on that. Oh, I can't do it. It's fucking disgusting. I love I love cheeses
I'm cool with cheeses. I don't think it's ever given me nightmares though. This might be bullshit
Is there other food that gives you nightmares? Can we look that up real quick?
Yes, I have oh you have I have some here
Cheeses number one it's crazy. It says avoid for cheese pizza right before bed. That's like well
For cheese pizza does anyone even sell that anymore?
Probably like I've seen like
Microwavable cheeses that are I mean listen
I think it's probably a good idea to avoid a meal like that right before bed period like a heavy heavy meal like that
Mm-hmm. That's probably true number two. It says hot sauce
hot sauce
interesting pepys peppers
interesting why it's more difficult for the digestive system to process and it
just messes up your body at night your body's doing too much these are causing
nightmares though apparently I guess I mean I can't even tell you when I've
ever had hot sauce before bed who the fuck is having hot sauce and going to
sleep yeah who's having four cheese pizza sleep yeah I mean that I feel like when I've ever had hot sauce before bed. Who the fuck is having hot sauce and going to sleep? Yeah.
Who's having four cheese pizza and going to sleep?
Yeah, I mean, that I feel like is, I don't know.
It's probably happened,
like people are drunk or high into it, but.
For sure.
Number three is chocolate.
I actually have heard that before.
Huh.
That chocolate causes nightmares.
Another thing I'm not really having before bed.
Yeah, no.
Well, I don't think it's like right before, like, you take a bite of chocolate and take a sleep now.
I mean, I'm saying within a clocked hour before bed.
Well, I mean, I guess that makes sense, like, people have, like, chocolate as a, like, a dessert or something.
Why would, like, hotels put chocolate on your pillow? What the fuck is that?
It's never good chocolate, either.
It's like dogshit chocolate.
It's like a dark chocolate mint fucking yeah also the chocolate to give you on planes disgusting it's
disgusting shit yeah he's not wrong although on the flight home from where
the fuck were we San Francisco San Francisco the flight attendant had very
warm chocolate chip cookies my god really. Really? Yeah. Hmm. I might need a...
They were fantastic. I need a start. Another one is spicy curry. Spicy curry.
So it sounds like anything that could just be gumming up the works.
Cheeses, hot sauces, so spicy stuff I guess, yeah. Anything that's that doesn't
seem to be the easiest to digest. It just makes your body do too much and the lack
the worst sleep makes you have
Just rattle them off, what do you got?
I got pasta, ice cream, milk, bread, chips
So every fucking thing in the world?
Jesus, that's like everything
That's crazy because I have been known to have a pre-bed sandwich
And-
Wait what?
Like after dinner?
Yeah
So you have dinner? yeah then you get into bed at not right away right dinner like because we have kids we didn't like five
or six
okay oh and then I'm not going to bed till like 1030 so like there's four
hours in there that daddy gets hungry for little
snacky poo yeah so what kind of sandwich
typically you're gonna hate me for it. You know you know what sandwiches. I like typically. I'm going lettuce tomato mayo
Oh, I was asking if they were just like
Like what kind of like oh like I wasn't having like a fucking Reuben if that's what you're asking
Yeah, I don't know no like a meat sandwich. No no mostly just like lettuce tomato mayo
You know even just tomato mayo, but also a pre-bed
Wait hold on a Wait, hold on.
You will eat a sandwich that's bread with mayonnaise
and tomato and that's it?
Yeah.
That's insane.
That's delicious.
Right before bed.
Right before bed.
I mean, it's not, I'm not disputing the taste.
It's just like calling that a sandwich is bananas.
By definition, it's in between two pieces of bread. It's a sandwich.
I know. By definition, Frank, here he is. Ladies and gentlemen, he's back.
I mean, what do you mean I'm back? You're saying calling that a sandwich. It's a sandwich.
It's tomatoes. How is it not a sandwich? It's tomatoes.
Okay, so? Who cares what's on the inside? It's a sandwich. Me. That's what I'm disputing.
You're a sandwich fraud. You're a sandwich truther now. You're on sandwich QAnon
Reddit chance, what are they called? I
Feel like you know what they're called reddit chance. What are they called?
forums
Reds there you go. That's it. I don't know that's what I'm saying
Yeah, that's crazy called not a sandwich. Would you eat that sandwich? No. Why not? Two to one, you're wrong.
No.
That's just how it works. This is democracy, Frank.
He's honestly, he is right.
Can you have a sandwich without meat?
Yeah.
Grilled cheese.
Yeah.
Oh man.
A veggie sandwich is a veggie sandwich.
Yeah.
That's true too.
Well then, I'm back on his side. It's a sandwich then.
Yeah, I'm like-
Two to one, democracy!
I'm not like disputing the
integrity of the sandwich
Yeah, you're you're you're just you're saying that people who call it a sandwich. That's like it's like it's like a
Baseball player that is just like really bad like technically they're a baseball player, but like are they you know what I mean?
it's more of like if
you if if you play what's the lowest form of
professional baseball? Like is it double or triple? Little league I guess. No no no like it's triple A. What? I'm saying if like in the
minors there's like there's like Frank it's triple A double A and A. Single A.
So single A is the lowest? To understanding yes, okay? So I would say that it's similar to someone who plays single a baseball being like I'm professional baseball player like I get it
You're a professional baseball player, but we all know what we're talking about when we're saying professional baseball player
You know what I mean? That's kind of how I'm sure yeah, okay? Yeah, it's a sandwich, but like
It ain't a sandwich
It's not what we have come to know is a sandwich, but it's a sandwich baby
And it's a delicious one at that right there. I get you're gonna tell me you've never had just a
ugly fat bitch of a tomato and just like that alone is is just a nice
Beefy part of like your your food no and you squinting your eyes and saying it that way
doesn't make it beefier.
It's a tomato at the end of the day.
At the end of the day.
That's not even a song, but we have some sponsors.
Before we continue here, we have ZocDoc,
which I am probably gonna use if I don't get better
in the next few days.
But ZocDoc is a website and an app,
it's a free app and website where you can search
and compare high quality in-network doctors
and click instantly to book appointments, okay?
And all these doctors are patient reviewed,
so they're gonna get a score out of five,
so you know who's having a good experience
with these doctors and who isn't.
And this is the site that I was using
when I came off of my mother's
insurance and I had to be an adult, unfortunately. I was like, I don't know how to find a doctor,
honestly. So I plug in my insurance into ZocDoc. Then it shows me doctors in my area, the next
available appointments, which is usually within 48 hours, if not the same day depending on what time you like do this but yeah so that's what
ZocDoc does and I think that it's an awesome tool especially you know for people that have
insurance and they don't know who takes them or whatever you don't want to get to the doctor's
office and find out they don't take your insurance and now you have to come out of pocket that would
be you know not great but check out Zococ, 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 spelled Z-O-C-D-O-C
dot com slash basement.

What about the last time you received a blow-
That was an insane?
Can't even imagine how that happened
Oh God that sucks.
That's the worst one I think we've ever had.
That's the worst one I think we've ever had.
That's gonna be in the hall of fame.
I mean hall of shame for some of us up here.

embarrassed and ashamed that one is up there if not you know man the top I
blow kisses to my children all the time right okay that's what I mean you sick
folks yeah no one fucking take anything will be fucks fuck you all sorry that was intense um
Speaking of blowing kisses, okay
Someone got caught in 4k. Oh, yeah, I was someone got caught
In 4k, so there was a clip from a
Cold play concert, which I've never been to a cold play car. Oh, I've been to a cold play concert. It is fire
They throw they put on a show cold play. I like cold play. I have no the joke that you feel like cold play
You're gay is insane
I'm gay shit. That's Nathan Lane cold if liking cold play makes you gay
Where's the dick?
I love Coldplay, dude.
I like Coldplay. You're a way bigger Coldplay fan than I am.
And they have this thing where you put on these sunglasses and shit and it looks like there's hearts around.
Well, you went to a concert several years ago. I'm sure their concerts now are different.
Yeah.
You go back to a Coldplay concert have I gone will you go
back oh yeah I absolutely would you'd go back if they invited us Coldplay Mr. Play
Mr. Cold hey cold comma play have us there but at this concert they had like
a camera that they put up on these two audience members and they were it was like a guy like you know wholesomely holding his presumed wife in front of
him and they were kind of singing the song and then they both noticed that
they were on the big screen and they both were just like oh my god and just
ducked yeah you didn't see this ant dude it's it's and Chris Martin either either
said like either like something like they're embarrassed or that someone having an affair and
That someone happened fair unfortunately we live in this time and the internet was like we're gonna find out who exactly who these people are
He's the CEO of a company. She's like the head of HR
Like that which and I think they're both married to other people they CEO of a company, she's like the head of HR or something like that.
Which-
And I think they're both married to other people.
They- like the speed at which they ducked out of frame, if they didn't do that,
We wouldn't even be talking about it.
Wouldn't even be a conversation.
But no one has the wherewithal in that moment.
Well, first of all, don't cheat on your fucking spouse, pieces of shit.
Also, we don't know.
We don't know what the hell's going on there.
Fair, we don't know.
But, I think the reaction was very telling.
Also, this is all alleged. I don't know for sure that it's those people.
No, there have been people that have immediately gone on.
The internet sleuths have gone on and they have found...
And they've been like, yo, this is this person.
And they've found a ton of stuff already.
This is as a recording some more information might
come out afterward and we hope everyone's okay wait what like no one
gets like there's no like other like bad things that come out you know what I
mean like what what are you talking I don't know this just want to make sure
it doesn't get there I don't know what you're saying Put it out there I
Just it's
While all they had to do was just not react cuz like he'd like ducks out quick, dude
Yeah, and she starts laughing and turns around and starts laughing
No, I mean in the video that I saw she looks like she just turned around and then it like panned over to someone else And the other woman sitting there like oh fuck
That's an insane thing
To happen at a Coldplay concert nonetheless
Yeah
Now I'm gonna ask you a very serious question
Yeah, and this is I need you to put on your law hat law law
Hello
in a way is Coldplay or their production team now open?
And now don't do the whole like what's right and wrong.
Is Coldplay and their production team now open to like a lawsuit?
If this fucking dude's wife leaves him and he decides he wants to sue them, no.
Do you think he has grounds to stand on
I don't think so why would he should we should we show the people
who haven't seen it I'm sure by this time I'm sure by this time people have
seen it
I actually feel bad about like contributing to these horrible
horrible moments yeah we don't need to show it we don't need to show it we can just talk about it
I just watched it quick for myself and it's pretty damn it's pretty bad. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but like serious question. Yeah, do you think?
They've opened themselves up to litigation. I don't think so I
Think that like I assume
I
Mean I don't know if you're going to an event and there's like a screen and cameras there has to be something in
Like this is being recorded you might yeah, yeah. Yeah, so like what are you gonna?
Do I mean yeah?
I mean that's that's that's just an insane thing to happen like and they didn't like
Target those people like maybe there would be something if they kept going back
I've seen those that happened at the Padres game we were at, remember?
It was like a dance cam and it was a woman dancing and they went back to her like five
minutes later.
Yeah, yeah.
If they did that, these people obviously didn't want to be on camera and they kept going back
to them like maybe something then.
Sure, yeah.
But even then I'm like, you're in the place.
They looked like they were enjoying the shit out of some Coldplay.
And then they weren't.
Yeah, that night went south quick yeah and honestly
there there may be some like actual repercussions that happen as far as
their company goes I mean that's illegal isn't it I don't know about illegal but
like it's brown definitely not cool that like the head of HR is having probably an undocumented affair with the CEO.
Yeah, that's a neat one.
The power dynamic there alone is a no-no.
The board of directors might have a thing to say.
Yeah, the board's gonna have a problem.
If he's, I mean they'll probably, I imagine, he'll leave his position, probably remain on the board.
Now we're speculating about I mean CEO. I I mean, I don't know no yeah
Do we know that I don't want to start naming the company, but like I don't I don't know what the fuck it is The double whammy stuff. It's not like it's like Microsoft. You know no that would have been crazy
It's not like a fit. He's not a famous see maybe I don't fucking know
I'm not tapped in like that, but like it's a it's it's fucked if Greg was
here he would have known he loves CEOs dude no he's so frothed up by CEO but
yeah that's a toughy man I mean I imagine this is not the first time that
like I'm not saying for them as individuals but like the first time a
camera at a game has like spotted something happening that shouldn't be happening you know it's hard to figure out what's real and
what's not because now they like set that shit up and it's like fake breakups
and shit like that but yeah yikes I've seen a couple times like on a cam when
a guy has an arm around the girl and then they're on it's like like oh yeah like in purge I've seen that a couple times it's
like oh that was weird that is crazy like just it's weird to do that in front
of like it's just so many people anybody can see you what part of this of the
did they do that at like a like a dance cam or something at the show you went to
I don't really remember it was It was a long time ago.
But it's like you're at a concert. So obviously there are times...
And when you're a band like that in a stadium, they film the crowd.
So like, they'll show some people singing songs and whatever. It's gonna happen.
The only thing is they may have been so far away that they didn't expect that.
Well, if you see the the video that
went viral was of a just a phone recording so like it's not like it's the
official video from the show it's like someone was recording and it popped up
maybe like their friend was on it or something and then it switched to them
and everyone was just like oh shit and Chris Martin was just like what's going
on here folks
that line makes it like so much worse probably a trillion times worse I mean
them ducking out of frame is like what got everyone talking so when you're
called out by musician superstar Chris Martin for possibly having an affair
it's tough the whole the board is going crazy today, dude
Crazy do we know where this happened? I?
Think I saw I was in like Boston or so it was Boston. Yeah
So the board this morning is just like this is a wicked piss out. Yeah
What the fuck you know they're like fucking fuming right now as they're all drinking, you know, Dunkachinos.
That's tough, dude.
Well, it's safe to say that they're going to be single people, I think.
I mean, I wish all of them as individuals well...
I don't know.
All you can do.
I mean, we don't know the exact situation.
In a perfect world, they actually were secretly not married to different people.
In a perfect world, no one got hurt.
That's I think what we're saying.
How do we navigate these waters?
These muddy waters right here.
Yeah, no, in a perfect world, nobody gets hurt.
Nobody gets hyped.
Put your hands up and nobody gets hyped.
Put your hands up and nobody's gonna get hyped.
Nobody's gonna get hyped.
Also, in some news, there's a new dating app for Disney adults.
Yes!
You hoppin' on that?
What?
No!
Is that something you think that you would've eventually got to?
Absolutely not!
There is, I will say this, there is one person in this room that would have been on that
fucking app so goddamn hard.
Okay, let's do process of elimination.
Alright, I like Disney, but not me.
Right.
You're a Disney guy, but not you.
No.
So.
I think then by... Definish...
You'd hop on there.
It's you, yeah, it's you.
Do you think that you would connect with someone via Disney like that?
I don't think so.
It's a little intense. It is intense.
I will be honest. What would you have called the app?
So, I know there is a name here. Do you know the name?
I know the name. It's not like Disney...
No. What would you call it?
I don't know I have a good one okay Mascoteers that is somehow worse than the entire idea of the app I think that's
like that's very on brand these people love their their Mickey or Minnie ears
you know is the name like Disney ish no oh so it's just kind of like it's
okay once you hear it you're like oh that's actually kind of clever but like
hmm you got to think like what if it was park hoppers fairly close honestly park
lovers park the park isn't the word but there's something to do with going to an
amusement park heart hoppers line skippers line hoppers
No, no, no, no, no, but you're like line. You're right there Joey
You're you're you're you're flicking the rim and everything lot. Is it line? No a
Weight it has to do with getting on a ride and the word ride is in it. So there you go
I guess I gave it away word ride is in it. Yeah
Yeah, that's sexual, dude.
Ride hopper?
Oh.
Oh yeah, that's a good one.
Hop, hop, hop, ride.
Think about it, it's a dating app.
Right.
So use your wild ride.
No, because not all the,
that might be over promising and under delivering.
You know, not all these rides might be wild, you know.
Like a ride. A ride.
Ride companion or something? No ride ride is the second word, but you're kind of on the right track hot ride
No magic ride no that's a good answer. That is a good one
But not all the rides might be magic mouse ride now. It's called single riders
That's actually pretty clever
Because like when you go on it, when you go online for like a
roller coaster, they're like, any single riders here?
Yeah.
I thought that's pretty clever.
Single riders.
Why was the clue Hopper given?
Because like that's the type of ticket.
Park Hopper.
Yeah.
I guess that's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So on July 8th, there was a guy on TikTok who is claiming to
be developing a dating app for Disney adults
He explained will be opening up the app for beta later this year and encourage viewers to share their ideas
Yo, honestly, that's a new level of single when you got to like create an app so that people yeah, like you need to
Like and listen I get you want to like help like you have a very niche thing that you want to help find like
Farmers only you know like yeah that makes sense
Farmers aren't gonna meet each other because they're busy farming dude. What do you mean? They're gonna? They don't have any time
They've got a meeting America. They've got to check on their yield
Yeah, and the farmer lifestyles very specific. Yeah, it is not only very specific
But to my understanding time-consuming and like yeah
You don't have a lot of like free time. You're working 24 7 basically
I can't be going out on dates like this. We're either together and we're in this fucking couch when do farmers date?
It's got to be like I just met someone from downtown when I was picking up
You know some new manure and like we decided we were fancying each other.
Yeah. And then we went and we picked corn together.
We went to bingo night.
We went bingo night.
Well, no, they can't go to bingo night. They have no time.
They have time at night.
Do they? The horses got to sleep.
It's not just horses, though.
They've got to like they've got to like do a lot of stuff.
I mean, they're not working 24
Bro farmers work man. I know but they have some time off. I imagine by the time that their workday is done. They're exhausted
That's what it's it's it's the life
Can I ask you a serious question? I am NOT built for farming. Oh, that's not the question I was gonna ask what you're gonna say. Thanks for the clarification
How Like is there any reality where you would have been on this Disney app? That's not the question I was gonna ask. What are you gonna say? Thanks for the clarification. Heh. How...
Like, is there any reality where you would have been on this Disney app?
No, dude.
That's not something that I need to connect over,
nor is it, like,
important to me in the slightest.
Is there anything about you as an individual that, like,
would require its own dating app?
Like, that's like if I joined a dating
app for like Marvel or something
sure yeah I don't think so
I don't have any hard like stances on
yeah you don't like I need it to be you
do like you like things hard though like
you're you're into things and you get
into them hard like you're real into
golf right now yeah but I'm but but I like I like pick stuff up and I
like getting interested in stuff and learn a lot about it but like it doesn't
become like you know the my personality for no no that's not what I'm saying
yeah but like when you get into things like you're like you get into them like
yeah start researching you start doing this you start doing things like you're like you get into them like yeah start researching you start doing this you start doing that uh-huh you know it's
it's a bit of a sprint I'm the same way honestly I'm not talking down upon it
yeah but I don't know if that if any of those things would like feel like oh if
there was a dating app for this then I definitely hop on have you ever like
dated like a Disney super fan never either I never I've had ex-girlfriends
who've had family members that were like really into it really yeah like multiple
times I mean our our friend is a Disney guy we know a Disney guy yeah and he's
like into it multiple times a year yeah multiple times a year knows the ins and
outs like no had it had a child and immediately started talking about when into it. Multiple times a year. Yeah. Multiple times a year. Knows the ins and outs.
Like, knows everything.
Had a child and immediately started talking about when is the appropriate time to bring
that child.
Right.
I was convinced that baby was going to be named like Minnie or something like that.
Minnie, Leia.
Yeah.
You know.
Leia's a pretty name though.
I like the name Leia.
It's pretty nice.
Leia's a great name.
Have you ever dated a, like a hardcore Disney fan?
No. No, I haven't. It's just you, yeah. It's just, yeah, I would be the one. great name have you ever dated a like a hardcore Disney fan no no I just yeah I
would be the one I imagine this dating app is just gonna become people
exchanging like those pins like those collectors pins and stuff like that and
it's just gonna be girls like I'm into Disney and guys just being like all
right name any Disney movie that has ever been made ever. Where, pop quiz, where is Walt Disney's anti-Semitic head?
Where is it?
Fort Knox?
No, there's a long-standing rumor that it's frozen under Pirates of the Caribbean.
That'd be a hell of a place.
It seems more like an app where like, oh, two people who are alone but really want to
go to Disney can meet up and like enjoy the time together
Yeah That's sweet. Yeah a soft part of me. I love love. I want someone to find their person however they choose to do that
That's on them, but like this does just seem like a crazy
such a niche
Niche thing to have an app for like what's the user base gonna be in the United States?
A thousand people?
I think you're underestimating.
Like, hardcore Disney heads?
Bro, you're underestimating.
Really?
I don't even know if this is actually-
I didn't know it was like just a guy who's like making it.
But like, I think that if there was an app that existed for real,
I-I think we'd be surprised.
It'd be more than that.
I can see if they...
Dude, the weirdest sex is probably happening.
Oh my god.
Oh, the weirdest stuff.
That's gonna be, you know...
People talking like goofy, we're talking like cosplaying, dressing up, roleplaying.
And there are people that do cosplay sex, furries.
There's furry sex too, that's a thing they do, but like...
Yeah, they do it I think what makes the Disney thing stranger is that it is predominantly
aimed at kids yeah I think a lot of Mickey ears will be on oh man you're
gonna hear like oh boy yeah I had to get it in you understand I totally get it
this is a this is a the appropriate time to bring it up. I know the

said what you say I mean I you gave me a scene and as a committer to the bit,
I felt the need to.
Commate.
I mean, how many, if people use this app,
how many like Mickey ears or Minnie ears
are gonna be warned during sex?
Yeah, you said that, right?
Yeah.
Have you done that?
Not yet, there's still time.
Yet?
There is still time.
There's still, you have a lifetime.
I mean technically there's still time
for all of us to do it.
That's true, we could all do it together.
I'd throw them on.
I don't have any.
I don't have any.
I would have to go out of my way to get them.
Well then you can come upon ears the next time.
I feel like I'd be way more of a goofy hat guy.
The one that has the ears and the teeth.
Is the teeth and stuff like that.
That I'm, I'm, kind of sounds pretty sick. I, one time I went to Disney and I bought
that hat and I wore it. I'd wear the hell out of that hat. Disney got good hats? They
got good hats. How good? Good. Alright. I'm gonna have to get some Disney hats. How is
that? I would like to- How are you satisfied by that answer how good good alright because if they were not good
He would wrote honestly. I'm not even good hats, and you said how good he said good anyway alright
Well because he's setting he's setting a realistic expectation
You know like if you were to ask me like they got good hats to be like oh
They got and then they might just be middle of the road. He's being strategic. He's setting a middle middle ground
Expectation so I'm either there's no disappointment because it's just like, oh he said they were just good.
You want a goofy hat. I wouldn't hate a goofy hat. Yeah. I wouldn't hate a goofy hat. Mickey
ears, I guess I'd get them. There's gotta be other cool hats though, right? What other
characters got hats?
Donald Duck has a specific hat.
He does have a hat. What's Donald's hat? It's just a little sailor hat kind of oh
I don't want to wear a sailor hat. Oh, they have I think they have a Donald duck
It's like so much of the goofy one where the bill is like just like a yellow
Yeah, but that's just a yellow
Brim like I want like I think what's cool about the goofy is it has the teeth in the ears
I just think at a certain amount of accessories it starts to look weird. Oh
Yeah, I agree with that. Oh, you mean me. No anyone. look weird oh yeah I agree with that
oh you mean me uh no anyone okay yeah I'm with you besides children yeah kids
go nuts like enjoy all the accessories you are you gonna bring your kids to
Disney we were looking into it last year decided not to just because of the age
of really Maeve yeah and it's more realistic this year so I'm gonna need
both of your help because what's that mean well just like planning and stuff I
remember I was looking into this this year aunt was like telling me like the
ins and outs and stuff like I don't really know too much about Disney I'm
more of a universal kind of girl I feel universal is more straightforward than
Disney Disney is like you need to plan yeah you gotta if you're going with kids
I assume like I know nothing about that.
That you would have to do like the breakfasts and stuff.
We need to have one breakfast with a character.
My sister and her kids did that
and they said it was really cute.
But it was a couple bucks.
Yeah.
Couple dollars.
They're gonna take it from you for sure.
Oh yeah, I'm fully expecting that.
I think they have pancakes that are like shaped
like Mickey Mouse
And I just want to say this about pancakes big fan, but when they're shaped like stuff that isn't pancakes. They're a lot better
Hmm. It is a waffle you're talking about. Oh
Yep, and you are right. It tastes really it tastes much better. I mean, I've never had a bad waffle
Period so I imagine that they only get better when they're shaped like something else
are Eggo's waffles? they are but like are they? Eggo's the brand they have waffles they have
french toast sticks they have pancakes they're they're small waffles I used to love those dude
dude I I would eat 12 of them I'm gonna tell you something and I don't know this might be a hot take
And I don't know, this might be a hot take.
Eggo as a brand hasn't missed.
A consistently good brand. I had an Eggo waffle not long ago.
Still as good as I remember.
Yeah.
Like, you know, it doesn't really taste like a waffle.
Like a Belgian waffle.
Yes, Joey.
You're not getting a Belgian quality fresh waffle out of a frozen box.
No, I know. I'm just saying, like, it just does- it's interesting.
But they have thick and fluffy ones that are...
They've got some power. They got some full- full- full diapers.
I have French toast sticks.
That's a good one.
Hell yeah.
I used to like those a lot.
The ones that-
The mini ones are super fire.
The mini waffles? Oh my god, love that. Are those the ones that come in, like, the four pack? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm all like those a lot. The ones that- The mini ones are super fire. The mini waffles?
Oh my god, I love them.
Are those the ones that come in like the four pack?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm all about those.
Loved those.
Damn, I'm kind of feeling waffles right now.
I don't-
If I had to pick between waffles and pancakes,
I think I would go pancakes though.
Ah, I gotta go waffle.
Because you get- you get texture with a waffle. Yeah. It's
all sponge with, I like pancakes, but you get a little crunch with a good waffle and
on the inside it's fluffy. Well if you get lucky, you get a waffle that's a little burnt.
Oh, like the sides are burnt. And also I've never, maybe this is just I just haven't done it
but like I've had savory waffles you know like a chicken and waffles situation
yeah I've never had like a savory pancake. You know actually there was this
diner I went to in Long Island somewhere and like it was very interesting
because you would order pancakes but on the side of the page they had all of these
What looked like sides mm-hmm, and you could choose whatever you wanted and they would put it inside the pancake
Yeah, dude, so like like literally anything dude. They will put it in the pancakes one it one of the best
Breakfasts I've ever had was at a place in la years ago and it was like straw fresh strawberry and nutella stuffed in a waffle
the way that you said stuffed was so aggressive
stuffed in a waffle
just like this thing was like you cut into it and it's like
yeah you know you know what's going on
you know what's going on
was it fat?
it was fatter? wait like fat?
it was a Winston Churchill of a fucking waffle baby
no no no.
I mean, like, it was actually thick.
What?
Yeah, dude.
Oh, that's insane.
Because what they do is they-
Is that not a crepe at that point?
It is by- do you know what a crepe is?
Flat.
It is, because they put- they do batter,
and then they put the shit in it,
and then they do fresh batter on top
And they cook it like that. That's crazy
So good. It's just like
God, it was so good, dude. I think I got like it was pretty boring, but I was able to get
You know what they did for me at this place did for me. It's what they do for everyone
What it was did it for you? I did it It did- it did it to me, yeah.
Uh, ham, bacon, and syrup.
Inside?
Yeah.
So which I love!
Kinda like a McGriddle.
Yes.
I'm into that!
When things are injected with syrup,
Oh my god, do you just make a fuckin' bad face? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Not being good. I'll come over there and hit you in the face No, I was gonna say that the McGriddle is the single best item McDonald's has
How is that a hot take
There's no way there are people that would vehemently disagree
There are people that think the filet-o-fish is edible ill, you know
People would say Big Mac people would say quarter pounder people would say pounder the McGriddle is the goat
Double quarter pounder with cheese there people that would say that the chicken McNuggets there are people that would say
Snack wraps there are people that would say wraps there people that would say that they just brought them back people lose their goddamn
Mind for fucking snack wraps. I used to like to snack wrap. I haven't had it ever
It's not bad people say not like go out of your way for it people would say McRib is the best I'm saying that the
McGriddle bacon egg and cheese yeah it is quite possibly the pinnacle of fast
food probs and I'm not even a big McDonald's guy but it's up there it's
so good actually the actual goat of fast food I think is the McDonald's fries
like that is like the best I know you don't like that-
If I had that shotgun I was talking about earlier, your head would have been on the fucking elevator doors right now.
Dude. It's like the best fast food item.
No, it's not.
Like, pound for pound, number one.
No, it is not. It is absolutely not.
So what's the best fast food item ever?
Crunchwrap Supreme might be up there.
Crunchwrap Supreme might be up there. Crunchwrap Supreme?
Oh yeah. A Crunchwrap Supreme? Are you nuts?
The Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich?
Nah dude, that's not better than the McDonald's fries.
The Whopper?
No, I don't think so.
Whopper, way better.
I don't think that there's, like think pound for pound the McDonald's fries are like
Burger King chicken fries
That's a good answer and you know what no it's that's a really good answer
It's so it's not they've stood that this the fucking sands of time
That's not it. Is it I think that's right. I
Don't know what it is. I it's strange that this came up because
Recently world atlas did a release of the top 10 most unhealthy fast food chains in the US
Okay
That's fine. Oh, but that's not what I'm saying
That what you're saying is that you say it again pound for pound
I think that McDonald's fries are like the the fast food item like they're the guy if there was a if there was a players
Association they'd be president there. You know what I'll say this. That's the Babe Ruth
But there's argument to be made that there have been other better
contributions
Okay, they're the first mega star
fair yeah, Babe Ruth
okay absolutely yeah
I agree with that but like
you can make arguments of course like some people like
LeBron they like Jordan but if Paul Skeens
which is the Crunchwrap
Supreme pitched to Babe Ruth
nah it's closer than that
also they're different things
that is true.
Like, we're talking about a side versus like a thing.
I would say...
Personally, they're not even my favorite fast food fry.
That's just a personal...
Yeah, I mean, sure.
I mean, that's you though.
Like, you gotta think about the world and like the impact that the McDonald's fries have.
Yeah, I agree
It's probably on the Mount Rushmore of fast food items. It has to be
Like it absolutely if I'm being unbiased I agree
I think you're right like think about the fucking red box with the fucking M. Yeah, it's like it's iconic
They actually everything I think I just saw that like Indonesia or somewhere is releasing a like
It's like a 10 inch fry box a like it's like a spin at 10
inch fry box for like shareable fries
with your boys that's fire it's kind of
sick what would be on the mount shareable
by the way yeah get the fuck out of here
to watch fries my personal fast food
Mount Rushmore yeah the whopper okay I
just think it's the we're thinking of
icons I know I know I know and are we
throwing in oh
Man, wait a sec cuz five guys might be on the no way
I'm not finally new to new to late you're right. You're right. You're right
The whoppers up there for me personally. I think it is the best fast food burger. I really truly do
Crunchwrap supreme I think it is just so it is so thinking outside the bun you
know like they really lived moss with that they snapped with that
they lived moss with that okay um oh man this is tough I do think in terms of I
think the McFlurry is up there too whoa I think the McFlurry is up there too. Whoa. I think the McFlurry is up there
because the other most popular dessert
would be like a Frosty, but I just feel like a Frosty
is like just like the cool underground brother
of a McFlurry.
Do we, what, like can something like the Happy Meal
be up there?
Cause I feel like that may be more iconic.
That's an incredible point.
And if it is, if we're counting that,
it's gotta be for me.
Yeah, right? Happy meals and
specifically McDonald's happy meal. I don't know Burger King has had some banger happy meals too. They have happy meals?
Yeah, kids meals. They call like King Jr. Meals or something like that. Oh, I don't even know.
I'm just looking through like the Subway's
Subway's cookies. No, no, no, no no Subway's cookies no no Subway did
have a good they had a good cookie but Subway has been so boys not great
they've been removed because of some stuff okay even if we even if we're like
thinking about subway like nothing iconic fair what about White Castle's
chicken rings I like them you're not gonna get me to put them on although
what is the craveve case iconic?
I did a crape case is kind of iconic and and I think White Castle was like the first fast food chain
Really? I'm pretty sure it out it like predates all other ones you can you can cross reference that more than McDonald's
I believe cuz McDonald's was like the 50s. I think White Castle was like the 40s
You're saying White Castle is the first fast dude. It is White Castle Wow
1921
What it really was you know Castle then hundred four years I?
Think if we're gonna count we can't count Happy Meal because that's it. That's that's that's packaging
Okay, because what the contents of it or what make it you know yeah McDonald's
but I'm going whopper. I'm going McFlurry Because what the contents of it or what make it you know yeah McDonald's but
I'm going whopper. I'm going McFlurry
I'm going cheesy not cheesy gordita crunch crunch wraps are pre-imposed. She's gordita crunch. There's an argument to be made there and
I guess I got to give a fry option right
Well, didn't you yeah chicken up there probably?
You don't know Popeye's spicy, Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
Here's the bed, I've made it.
It's done.
Isn't Popeye's Biscuit more iconic?
Oh, if we're going by icon status.
You've been totally talking about that.
I was just going by what is the best.
It's hard for me to pick things more than like,
there's, the iconic things are like
the fries at McDonald's the whopper
the Big Mac
Yeah
I don't think anyone's I don't think anyone's gonna argue with you that
McDonald's is like the yeah Yeah, they're iconic.
They're the biggest.
They might not be the biggest by store count.
I think actually Subway is.
Or there was like a Chinese brand
that recently overtook them.
But it is just like when people see the golden arches,
it hits like, it's now like it does something for them.
The golden arches.
That's what they're called.
I know, but I'm just thinking of like iconic.
Like when you think of fast food, you think Think of those things. You think you're you're
going icons of the game and I completely get and respect that. If if you're asking me my personal
what I think are the peak of they are iconic and they like capture what it is to be fast food which
is just like kind of playful a little out there but also delicious Crunchwrap Supreme is is so how do you argue against that I don't know
chicken fries are way more playful because they're chicken and their fries
chicken fries are just good they're not iconic though yeah I wouldn't call them
iconic the big macs definitely number one, right? Big Mac and Whopper are like icons.
Yes, I agree.
And the Crave Case isn't?
But we're not going, we can't go packaging.
Now we're going packaging
because it's just Crave Case and Happy Meal up there.
It's a different mountain.
It is a different mountain.
It is a different mountain.
Who else has like iconic packaging like those two places like I can name them
But like for the general audience. I don't know a
Happy meal is like
That is a that is
It's so perfect
The box is like the arches are the handle. Oh my god
It's so it is peak peak peak design whoever figured that out
Should be a multi-billionaire, and I hope they are it's Ronald McDonald
Ronald deserves what he's whoever designed that mascot needs to be shot in the head
Yeah, how is that what we came up with here for McDonald kids used to love clowns?
I thought they hated clowns now they hate them
But like back in the day clowns were like cool like legit parts of society like you're like
What are you doing for the birthday? We got a clown coming. I know that oh shit. We'll be there
It's so weird. They've also I will say in terms of mascots. I don't think McDonald's is very
They're horrible at that. They're not good at it. They had they had a clown in
white face they had a clown in white face
they had a
giant purple thing
Grimace yeah, well. He's he took over coming back. He's he honestly might be moving further
I mean Ronald McDonald has a foundation. That's cool. They don't promote him
I think they may have parted ways because I was last time you seen Ronald McDonald
Oh, I don't know about the guy they had a hamburger that I was gonna say they had a Think they may have parted ways because I have when's the last time you seen Ronald McDonald, bro
I don't know about the guy they had a burglar they I was gonna say they had a
Thief yeah a food thief they had a mayor
Was mayor McChese McDonald's I believe so they had a little bird
Remember her name was like Tweety years not Tweety like something like that. She was like a little bird You know I'm talking about you're getting real deep into the McDonald's. Yeah, you're know. I know my McDonald's lore folks
Yeah, you're in it aren't you? Uh the king is great king is great, but he's also a little naughty
He's a little like I like the king. He's a rascal. He is then you had the he's a rascal

Other than that, yeah.

Yeah, we're not that's not fast food crazy the Pringle head
You know the Pringle head guy Kool-Aid man Kool-Aid man, but now we're getting yeah, yeah now we're getting past
We're off at fast food. There's an argument to be made. Maybe we want the most unhealthy one again, so I didn't say
So 10 was chick-fil-a
Sounds about right. It's fried most of it. Just fried chicken. Yeah, you know nine Little Caesars
I've had it once never having that again. I've never had it
Won't ever I might have it again. Really? I don't know.
That's pizza, right?
Sometimes it's pizza, but like, do you ever have cravings of like, you want pizza, but it's like, I want dog shit pizza.
Like, I want whack pizza. You never get that?
I kinda do sometimes. Every now and then-
You know like the Domino's and Papa John's, like the fast foods of the-
Bingo.
You're like, yo, I want some whack pizza.
Every now and then I get a craving for Domino's just because I need an excuse to also get Cheesy Bread.
Yeah.

Never had it.
Love Smash Burger. Very good.
So these are the most unhealthy.
Yes.
Getting to number 1.
Number 8, McDonald's.

Shocking.

Uh, 7, Quiznos. Never been to a Quiznos. Never seen the sign. In top ten but not on the podium that's pretty surprising shocking you know
seven quiz nose Never been to a quiz nose had seen the sign had it once and it was just what they sell sandwiches

that's pretty good you remember that right where they they were like little
rats with giant steve buchemi eyes oh okay I'm thinking of something different
now you don't remember these things at all I don't need to see him
All right number seven we have here was quiz nose number. Oh, there's no number six whoa
Oh, maybe there's ties. Oh, there was tie at eight. I'd love to see how they figure that out number five KFC
That makes sense. I used to get the double down from them me and Keith used to go
You don't remember this chicken. You don't remember these little monsters?
No.
You don't remember that commercial? It was like a viral thing at the time.
We get the double down. It's two pieces of fried chicken with a sauce, cheese, and bacon between them.
And like that's the whole sandwich.
Yeah, the funds were chicken.
I'm sure they were good.
Fantastic.
Number four, Dairy Queen.
I think I've only had like Dairy Queen ice cream.
I don't think I've had like Dairy Queen food.
They sell food, do they?
It's the normal stuff, burgers, fries.
Do they?
I think so.
That's crazy.
I'll look that up.
Dairy Queen.
I've only ever had like the the blizzards.
But that makes sense, because those are so calorically dense.
Yeah. I mean, I've had a blizzard before.
Yeah, dude.
Every single time they go like this when they go to like they actually.
Burgers, sandwiches.
That's bananas. Sides, salads, snacks, pretzels, chicken baskets.
So they have they have a good amount.
Chicken baskets. Number three, Taco Bell.
This one hurts because I'm a big Taco Bell fan.
Taco Bell's good, man.
I just don't know how it would be the most unhealthy though.
Maybe, wasn't there a thing that came out like years ago
that they didn't have like good meat
or maybe they had great meat?
I thought it was that they had the best meat.
Oh, maybe that was it?
That it was like their meat was the goodest meat.
That's the goodest meat. I think their lettuce was causing some problems if I remember correctly. Oh, there was like E. coli. That was a big E. coli
breakout like 2006 or some shit. That's not like Taco Bell's fault. Well, I mean, E. coli
gets into stuff sometimes. It's true. Yeah, but I To my understanding that happens mostly when they're like not taken care of well
Who knows number two could have told you this sonic
Sonic I've never been to a Sonic. I've had Sonic once and it was
If you could believe it
The worst hot dog I've ever had in my entire life.
You got a fast food hot dog?
Oh hell yeah I did.
What, I guess, when is a hot dog a slow food?
Sometimes people take pride in their hot dogs.
Yeah.
So what do they sell at Sonic?
Hot dogs, shakes, burgers.
They have these things called Cinnasnacks.
It's like little dough filled with cinnamon
and wars could be started over those things.
Yeah, they're good.
That sounds delicious.
Well, they have the ones, are those the ones,
the Blizzard, right, that you hold them upside down?
That's Dairy Queen.
Oh, which one is Sonic, then?
It's the, they have shakes as well,
but not as popular as Blizzard's.
What's the, what's the,
the upside down is Dairy Queen.
When you order it, they hand it to you and go like this they hands like I go like this name for one of the sonic drinks?
And I can't remember
But they had those commercials where it was like those two guys in the car just like talking and like sipping on their drinks
And stuff like that. Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's the rollerblading place
Yes, where they think they're in the fucking 50s and people like roll, but I don't remember the last time
I've seen a sonic with a proper rollerblader
No, they all have them. They still have them. Yeah, that's so fucking crazy
You're very up to date on your sonic knowledge
We used to go to sonic a few times really yep always for the sin of snacks
I know that when the sonic movie like Sonic the Hedgehog came out
They did like a deal where they had chili cheese dogs
Which I would have
been on board for but they burnt me once yeah and then the most unhealthy
reportedly the most unhealthy is Wendy's that is I love how you started
reportedly that because I don't believe it I don't believe that that is bananas
to me yeah that doesn't seem right Wendy's I thought you know you get a baconator
and a frosty and some fries chillin is that bad I think they taste the fakest I
think I really think they I don't agree with that at all the baconators like
they're just the the burger yeah that's crazy I don't I don't see that and
they're square it's unnatural I mean the round is also a natural I mean White Castle square do you we're saying I mean, being round is also unnatural, brother. I mean, White Castle's square.
We're saying White Castle.
Yeah, White Castle is like eating a shoe.
You're crazy, I haven't had White Castle in a while.
I remember it was delicious going in.
First of all, what's a while to you?
Because I know they've been in your house.
White Castle? Yep.
I haven't had White Castle in...
at least 15 years.
Roll the fucking tape.
I- No, no, no, the frozen ones I've had, I haven't had them in a long time, I'm saying.
But you had those.
Almost most of the time I've had frozen White Castle burgers. They were at a hospital.
What do you think-
But what do you think they're doing over there at White Castle?
You think they don't show up to the building frozen?
I'm not sure.
It's probably the same ones.
But the bun was also frozen.
Like the whole thing comes frozen.
What does that mean?
You haven't had White Castle?
You're eating White Castle.
But the bun, the part of the experience is the soft of the bun.
What?
I'm going to have White Castle soon.
I'm saying there's a different experience from having a fresh-bunned White Castle burger
and having a frozen-bunned White Castle burger.
But you're having White Castle.
You're making it seem like I'm not having White Castle.
But I think you could possibly with...
There are different things that go into when you have to freeze something and package it and sell it retail, okay?
There's different like shelf preservatives and stuff like that. You might not have that
in the ones that are sold and cooked at the restaurant. Okay? I can't with confidence
say yes or no. But you've had White Castle is my point. Yes. But not within the last 15
years. You haven't been in the White Castle building. I-I-I-I-I-
You brought the castle to your castle.
I legitimately can't remember the last time I had.
And you know me, I have a pretty good memory.
I might have to break that and go to a White Castle soon.
The only time I remember being in a White Castle was like,
I was walking home from the movies with Keith,
and like, we had just saw Dumb and Dumber 2
and we were walking home and like
Why'd you walk that way?
I don't know, I was like, I think we were like lost
So, there was one White Castle in the story
On 21st, right?
It was on 21st Street and like, what is that?
34th Avenue, Broadway?
Because it was right next to Long Island City High School
Yeah
The movie theater is on 38th Street and
Thirty-fourth Avenue or something like that something like that. Yeah
You would have to walk very out of the way out of the way is such an understatement
And also not a great place to be walking not at all ever let alone the night
I remember that and I
remember being like I was too young I didn't know where I was too young dumb
and dumber 2 came out in like 2015 Joey no which dumb and dumber 2 are you
talking about the prequel or the like legit sequel I was a like I was not in
high school I don't think I Don't know what movie you saw
The original like it's called like dumb and dumber
Yeah, dumb and dumb er that was like a straight to DVD movie and like the early 2000s
And then dumb and dumber 2 came out like 2015 it was er yeah, okay that makes sense
2003 you were not walking home from the movies I
was with Keith.
OK, you might have been walking over from the movies
at that age.
When did the second one come out?
Like 2015?
2014.
14?
Oh, so it definitely wasn't that.
It was probably Dumb and Dumber.
Yeah.
I don't think that came out in the movies.
Bro, I was young.
Regardless, I actually young. I don't think that came out in the movies. Bro, I was young.
Regardless,
I think I actually think the last time I was in a physical White Castle was when I saw Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.
I saw it at midnight with two of my friends and we went and
had a Crave case.
You guys just split a Crave case.
I don't think you realize I think think if we put a crave case here,
you and I can finish it.
Maybe.
How many's that?
30.
30.
Oh, yeah, you guys will be fine.
It's a lot of bread.
Joey might have trouble with the bread.
Why just me?
I feel like that's the most dense part of it.
I think you-
you and I understand that I can eat more than you.
Sure, but-
Actually, now that I think about it,
there's no way you two can do it 15 inches crazy dude I'll put money you both
can't is there is there one three of us could there wasn't near here if you
think I'm gonna eat ten fucking White Castle burgers you got between the three
of us we could do it easily yeah probably easily all right that's all I
wanted to know yeah we could case it up. What do anything?
