Welcome back to the basement. Welcome back to the basement yard. How's it going, Francis? I'm a little sleepy boy. Why? Why not? That's not how I thought you were going to answer. Why not?

Why can't I be sleepy? I don't know. You can be sleepy all you want. I like being sleepy. My contact is so blurry right now. Is it fucked up? Looks like someone. Yeah.

Don't. No, like it looks like someone poked you in the eyes. Oh, I thought you were going to say something about like jizz or something. I was like, all right, relax. I don't. Why would you think I was going with jizzing in your eye? Because you're you. That's why. You're mean. You're being a mean. Did you say it like that? I don't know. I take offense to that. So I hope that the internet fires you for it. Okay. That would be so much funnier if we called it firing and not canceling.

You're fired. You're fired for it, dude. Like you're just done. I mean, is there a difference? You get canceled. You get kind of fired. No, but when you get fired, there's the idea that... I don't really like canceling. Now that you brought that up, what about delete? Oh, that's kind of permanent. That's kind of a permanent... Well, that's what they want it to be.

Yeah, it doesn't. That's what the left, the peaceful laugh want it to be. The, so... A permanent delete. Cancel. I don't like that. I just, I hate it because it seems like it's like they're just putting that big, like, red with a cross through it on their face. Like, eh, no smoke. You know what I'm saying?

No, that's an X. No, X is an X. No, I think it's, I think I go, is more of a cancel than it is X. X, I just go, no. I appreciate that's the exact family feud, X. Yeah. And, and, uh, Price is right.

I don't know if they do it. No, Price is right goes, bum, boom, boom. Like, it's like sad. Oh, yeah. Like, that's way worse. Bro, if I'm on a game show, I'd rather hear a, than a, oh no, like you're an idiot. Like, they're like kind of like softly reminding me that I fucked up.

Oh, look at the fucking more. on up here. Can't get the I can't guess the price of sardines. If you could go on any of those game shows

like and and do well. Any game show? Any game show and do well. What do you think you would do? I

and I'm not talking like you just like the show like you think you would have a chance. Oh like oh okay. I think if it's Santa Gato Studios

Family Feud like I think we would do decently on Family Feud and if we didn't I would fire everyone. Cancel. Delete. Right. No, but I think what's the Harry Mandel one? Howie Mandel. The pyramid? Deal or no deal? Deal or no deal. Deal or no deal. That was going to do my answer.

That one, it involves too much math. Not math that you have to do. Yeah, but I don't like knowing that other someone is doing math. You know what I'm saying? Like, I love math, but like I need a watch math to like, I'm a little suspicious of it, you know? None of that. Yeah, you know. Like, if I know someone's doing math, I want to see the math, too, before they just be like, that was the math. Right. Whatever you're saying is confusing. But I think that that show, like you pick a random one and then you start opening up cases

and then you start making deals. Be honest. If you were putting together a celebrity, like a, not celebrity, like a family feud team for standing out of studios, which, by the way, it's not that you need to be good. You also need to kind of hope the other people suck. Like you give them the chance. Like, you throw to them, and if they fuck up, you get all the points. I don't, like, I get that, but also at the same time, like, there are some people that I watch on Family Feud, and I'm like, why the fuck did they even invite that person?

That answer was so dumb. Who would be the San Diego Studios Family Feud team? How many people are on a team? I think it's five is the max. They don't have that many. I think all the people that are involved with Sanagata Studios. Yeah, I don't think there's that. I mean, I would say, me, you, and.

Aunt's coming in? I think you need to throw Greg in there. Yeah, Greg. He knows a lot about books. You need Ahmed in there. No. No, but we're content. No, no.

We're content leaning. We're not. Listen, I'm sorry. Not on Family Feud. I love Ahmed. He would give insane answers on that. I really do, but he'd be the one that like Charlie in the episode of It's Always Sunny, where he's just like, Dragon's Blood!

Yeah, yeah. Like that, Ahmed would not know, like, certain things. In that episode, he single-handedly wins. That's a bad example, I'm sure. sure because of those answers I also wouldn't take Keith because I feel like if he couldn't come up with an answer

and they hit him with the X he would freak out and that would be the end of that Yeah Also like I think my biggest weakness would be the that part

The buzzer part Oh really? Yeah because I feel like good at that Well I can only I can't think and slap Well you would slap then have to think Right That would be tough

you are right. I feel like I would be good at the fast money, though. Like, I could come up with answers. Well, because those are such simple questions that, like, it's not about, like, they say that, like, the goal should be to aim for, like, what would be the second best answer, not the first, because then you leave, like, a little bit of wiggle room for whoever's coming back. Next, you know what I mean? I'm literally saying the first thing that comes to my head. And God forbid, they're like, your partner said the other one. I'd be like, bye, I can't think of anything now. Yeah, all right, I guess. What other shows were? Password, I think I would be great at.

if you and I went on password. I feel like we would do well. We would do very well. Like a catchphrase type of shit. Yeah. Well, we used to play that a lot as kids. You had the little circle catchphrase thing. 100%.

I think that we would do extremely well with password. I think, I don't know if you saw on Amazon Prime. It was on there. They have like, it's like pop culture Jeopardy. It's hosted by Colin Jost. I think I'd be very good at that one. Well, pop culture? It doesn't necessarily mean modern pop culture.

I was going to say, I don't know how good you'd be at that. there's one show that is now I think it's hosted by Lily Singh it's like boomers versus millennials I haven't heard of that name yeah yeah yeah it's like boomers versus millennials and it's like

a mom and their daughter go on and like the mom has to answer millennial questions or Gen Z questions and the kids have to answer boomer it's like the typical like they show a picture of a rotary phone and they're like what is this how is how does this work and yeah you know the kids are just like I don't fucking know

okay what about you Are you, you strike me, you know who he strikes me as? A Wheel of Fortune kid. You strike me as a Wheel of Fortune kid. You love letters, dude. My sister's really good at Wheel of Fortune. You love letters. I like the 1%.

You ever see that show? The one that was hosted by like the Jim Norton? I think so, yes. Yeah, and he was just like, all right, well. Born on a Monday, died on a Wednesday, but lived for 20 years. How does that, like, you know, it's like 20% of it. people. Isn't Jim Norton a comedian?

Yeah. The Australian comedian. Oh. The one that's like... That's not Jim Norton. I think... Type in Jim Norton. No, Jim Norton is a bald guy, right?

Yeah, he's a bald guy. Oh, really? Who am I thinking? Jim Jephries. Jim Jeffries. Oh, yeah, that's the one. Well, that's the guy that host it. That's the guy that hosts it.

I was like, Jim Norton. Sorry, Norton, Jeffries, very white, very understandably confusing last name. I guess so. I don't think Joe would ever go on the show. I know this is different, but I'm going to put it out there. I think I would really like to watch Joe be on Big Brother. Absolutely. Why would you want to watch me on that?

Well, I would like to watch you on a show. You'd like to see me 24-7? You'd like to be like a voyeur, you freak? Well, what is that? Yeah, he's like, oh, Joe's sleeping right now. There he goes. He's laying down. Why?

I'm still, what? I think it'd be fun to watch you on. I think you would do well. That's why. I don't even know the rules. I've never seen that show, yeah. I know that's the one where there's like cameras everywhere. Yeah, they just live in a house and they do challenges,

and it's like a social game and see i can't do those challenges because like i hear that they they take it so fucking hard like the challenge and and you know like with those show like big brother they take it so intense and i'd just be like guys we're adults like i get we're competing for money but like also like we're playing big games like guys come on you're your your adults here i mean i'm a challenge boy i like the challenge i think it's like it's pretty cool but that one's way more intense i could see i i submit it our hat into the ring for the traitors, but I am taking it back out. I would not be.

I would love to be on that. I would not be good at that. Traders, that would be a good one. Ever since we've done those Santa Dados studios where I'm the imposter, it's clear that I would be very bad at it. I don't think you would be like that bad at it. I just, I don't like lying. So like, it would, like, in that, I'd be like, all right, you got me guys.

You know, like, get the fuck out of here. I'm serious. What audience are you playing? I mean, look at how we do. Oh, I don't like lying. I'd be like, oh, sorry. I mean, if there was a quarter of a million dollars on the line, then I'll fucking line through my teeth.

You, we can, we'll figure this thing out. We'll figure this thing out. What other game? Dude, I mean, I would, I would kill to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple, but that's, that, that ship has sailed. That was a cool one. I mean, it was cool when you're a child. Yeah.

But like, when you think about it, the thing that they're running through, it's not that hard. I know, but like, I've, I, like, would go to, like, Burger King play places and, like, train. I'd be like, all right, I can get through this, like, very quickly. I can go up this ladder. I can do da-da-da-da-da. Look up other game shows, by the way.

Sure. I think that there is a league, like, I could have been an all-star Legends of the Hidden Temple player. Silver Snake. Or purple parrots. I'm going either one, baby. I like that, too. I'm not, I'm not against either of the, the worst one. Green monkeys.

What's the orange one? Orange iguanas? That's not great. I mean, I love the color orange. but we have a fortune jeopardy i would get my ass whoop dude i don't even like this is the thing with jeopardy i don't know how people know that much they i think they give you like a study guide like they say like here are the topics for this week and then like or it'll just be like here's a i i honestly don't know but i assume it's kind of like

uh 20th century poets or something and then they would give some information and then they would give some information and yeah but like there's a new episode every day so i'm sure they're filming several episodes a day yeah so like you have to imagine bro who wants to be a millionaire i couldn't because i would be pissed at regis rip i'm pretty sure he's gone right yeah he's ripped up he hit it up but who wants to be a millionaire i feel like i could get to a point where i would i would i think i could get to that first level where you're like safe but it's like grand or something or it's like three grand or something but like as long as I

had a safety net I'd be like all right because you could use the fucking take the two out call somebody yeah that's the thing no I don't know who I'm even called that's the thing I was gonna say is like at that point who do you call these people are calling like their friends or their dad I'd be like bro I'm not I'm you know I'm not doing this you know

which one I would be good at have you ever seen dude the cube was a good one what's the cube again The cube. As Jesus Christ. I don't remember that. Literally, Dwayne Wade,

Dwayne Wade would be like, all right, do you think you're tough enough to beat? The cube. He would whisper? No, it wasn't him. It was like the voiceover. Oh. The cube was like,

it was like those like bar tricks where it was like you drop a ball on a slide and you have to go to the bottom of the slide and catch other balls before that one drops and shit like that. Oh, I think I've seen like an episode of that before. Like you had to like It would be like you need to stop Yeah

Then there was one it was like You need to stop the clock on As close to 10 seconds as you can And you have like a 0.5 second window and then You can use a lifeline and it'll be a point 1 or something or like a larger window or whatever

Yeah I wanted to sign up for this The cube I think I'd be good at it I'm good with hand eyes You know Yeah What

There was one there literally was one where it was like You need to there's just like a hundred balls in a bin and you need to just get all of them out in 20 seconds that's it how long is that this one? Yeah that oh you gotta get them all out all of them out in 20 seconds I would yeah I don't even know

like I would just like like a fucking dog in there but that's the thing but then when you get down to like 10 it's like you gotta get you gotta fucking scramble and shit I don't like racing against any clocks to be honest there was one in the in the cube there was one challenge where like you can like one of your lifelines that you can ask Dwayne Wade to do it for you because he was the host

Yeah So like there was one That was like a basketball one And everyone was just like Dwayne Yeah yeah Go on here But then it's like

He missed it by the way There have been times He's missed it Times that he's made it But Damn what about the weakest link Remember that I used

I would get so pissed At that old white hag Hash cam Yeah But like Those questions are tough Really hard Honestly

I don't remember seeing any of that I was just like Yo that's hard No No no There's questions And I was like Yeah what the fuck

I remember the one that I think I would do good at is like it was the one where it was like Stevo hosted it for like a season and it was called like something karaoke, killer karaoke where like you had to keep singing a song but he'd like dunk you in a tank of piranhas while you're trying or like ice water and shit like that or like walk across mouse traps

I'd be good at that Double dare obviously I would dominate that show I would be a problem in double dare dude are you kidding me I've always wanted to climb into that nose and get the flag be covered in buggers I like the one where it was just like

you have to go through the paint roller yeah yeah that's a good one too damn dude I want to get on a game show why haven't I mean we were I was almost on a game show remember that short lived do I that was quite the experience we've told that story how you were on a game show

we've told that story a couple times and it might not have heard it but there was a I knew someone in college who was a casting director for like a bunch of like game shows and reality shows and stuff like that and she reached out and she's like do you want to be on this show called best time ever it was in Astoria it filmed in a story at coffin studios it was hosted by neil patrick harris and he had like a guest announcer alick baldwin alec Baldwin was the guest announcer is Nicole scherzinger there too might make it might have been

but like bro sorry one thing that i was like whoa tv here because they put you in a room i went with him as like his plus one so they sit the people who are actually going to have a chance to be on the show on one side and the rest of us on the other and they interview everyone and make them go up and like say stuff about them to see who's good for TV yeah so everyone's getting up being like hi I'm Marissa yeah I speak five languages and I've been to Peru it was like the most like it's the most it was the most intense concentrated version of like what people believe like those that are trying to make it are like what they're doing like they work

at the Starlight Diner so like they know they might be waiting on someone that's a screenwriter so they're just like wow boy do you love this menu today we have hamburgers we have waffles like it's just like that like I always think of

did you ever see the S&L sketch where they were like making fun of like going to like Disney acting camp no it's like that like it's like your reaction and And, yo, they legit were, like, every person that came in the room, like, they, it wasn't like, you could be on it. They had to have, like, a thing.

And it was just like, I'm a screenwriter and actress and producer, you know. But they make it seem like anyone in the crowd could get picked. So that makes me think that, like, it's fake. It's rigged. The price is right that, like, there's only a certain amount of people in the crowd. It's not everyone. Like, everyone's wearing a name tag, but only a certain amount of people have a chance to be on it because they have to, like, vet who's, like, good for TV.

And that's like, everyone who gets on the price is right. They're like, oh! Well, because remember, we, you didn't know if you were getting, they didn't tell who was getting picked to get picked. So they had like a like a rotating series of pictures that like went through them quickly and then it would stop on the person that got picked. Yeah. I was the person right before the person that got picked. And it was like you, the person was like you win $20,000 cash a new Jeep. You remember that?

I was like, damn. But also it was so TV. Like it was uncomfortable. It was weird. Because it was just like if the like, like you have to imagine the cameras on you at all time. like button the smile like ah like any big reaction like oh yeah you're like seals you're like seals out there did you go up and have to give a i'm frank yes so you've told this sir it was like it was good i'm glad that he did it the way that he did because everyone was getting up there

with these stories like i lived in europe and i you know i speak three languages and i and like all these impressive things i remember someone there climbed mount everest something like that yeah and but there was a there was multiple people who kept saying the amount of languages and it just became a thing like everyone kept doing that and then frank out there and be like don't speak any other languages just like said some other shit what i honestly don't remember but i remember him saying that didn't get a laugh i was like oh god this fucking place sucks yeah i mean should have got picked also in between takes actors or different people than you see on tv that's all i'm going to say what does that mean that's all i'm going to say nph that's all i'm going to say nph that's all i'm going to say why? I mean, in between, like, they're there for work, so, like, there's a machine running behind them, so, like, might have been a little snippy in between, you know, the commercial breaks.

I don't even remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that lines up with other people have experienced. Like, there's, like, stories and rumors about him out there that's, where's my goddamn donut, Sheila? I'm not saying I saw all that, but I saw enough to just be like, huh, interesting. And then funny, I guess not funny, Alec, Alec Baldwin. when being there. He had a fall. Careful. He had a fall from grace. You know, that was right around the time

he might have called his daughter like a pig or something like that, right? Yeah, I mean, every dad does that. I don't know about that. I don't know about all that. It does no, I think it could be good for us

to go on a game show. Not even just for the winning part. It could be also very bad. It could be. If they just so happen to be filming one not far and they want people that are just like fun guys fun boys fun boys going and doing stuff on a game show you know

we'll make it fun we'll make it memorable if we did fear factor would you eat the bugs that's easy yeah okay oh yeah you eat bugs well hold on hold you've eaten bugs oh well please back up you're coming you're coming in hot okay you're coming in hot like that whatever happened in your eye there it is yeah it was coming all maroon Look at this. All maroon. What's wrong with maroon? Mitch,

very matchy. I'm sorry. Yo, him and Greg hate matchy. It's not that I hate matchy. They've commented on my matching like at least six times in the last year and a half.

First of all, not me. Yes, you. I have never been like, hey, you're too matchy. That was my first matchy. No, no, no, no. You didn't say,

Hey, you're too matchy, but you'd just be like, you like to match. Which I know. I know what that. No, Greg said, you really like to match which is what I knew

that I was like oh it's a problem ladies and gentlemen fabrication is happening upon us there is no fabricace this is being fabricated

like a piece of fabric like a fabric factory frank yeah you're you're really close to what just be careful fabric factory

oh I see what you're getting you're getting awfully you're teetering on the edge right there well that's why I enunciate that's very annunciation enunciation Conjugation. Whatever that is. Sub-conjugation.

Who's that? I imagine it's like a conjugation being like a little sub. Being a little submissive. Just like a little submissive. Like dominate me grammar. Domicumigation. That's not how you say it. Dominate me, dictionary. Don't make me a sub-conjugate. I'm sub-conjugating right now. Oh, sub-cininin. Yeah. Why don't you come on over? I was subconjugation.

gave for you. I hate that we have words for what words are. Like words should just be words. Stop making them. We've got words to describe words. I don't like that. Adverb. My guy, get out of here. Get out of you. I'm not even kidding. Don't even ask me that stuff. I know, I know, I know noun. I know synonym. You know pronoun. You know pronoun. I know pronouns. Yeah, you better. I know them and I respect them. I'll tell you this. That is, that is something that is also a positive in my life is that once the pronouns thing became very prevalent, I'm like, now I know what those are. Because that's a tough one. We all get something like, the people that are just like, I'm not respecting pronouns,

we all get something out of respecting pronouns. The grammar. The people that are requesting certain pronouns, they get the respect, they feel they deserve, and we're learning a little bit of grammar and syntax. Because that's not something that I would be very familiar with. Adverb, that one is going to take me some time. My guy, if you asked me 10 years ago what a pronoun was, You weren't getting a conversation.

I was, I literally would have probably said butter. Like, I don't know. Like, I don't know what a product is. It does sound like a compound butter, like a type of compound butter,

like a pronoun butter. Yeah. Well, I just, you know, a professional noun. I don't, oh,

I would think that it's a name. Like a pronoun. Like, Mount Olympus. No, I would think it would be like what you, like when you speak to people of high status, like captain or colonel,

like the pronoun is like the ranking. That makes sense. You know? Like, oh, well, you're military ranking. Yeah,

your military ranking. like well that's the lieutenant Frank you know what I mean like their pronoun is lieutenant yeah now we know that that's not the case yeah he she they she well we're just going yeah we'll go she they them right he she she us together is us I he he he I no I it's it's it's me he you so he he him she her they them there's I just am not familiar. Do you mind educating us? Me?

Yes. Did you forget? Did you miss the part where I said, I don't, I'm not, I don't know. But now you're here. There's, there's, someone needs to be the savior in this conversation. I've heard creative ones, but I don't know them. Well, I think latinx, Latinx is like used. I can't, I see, I see it and I immediately go to latinx.

Latinks. You have to. I mean, when you can pronounce X in that way, X is like the best letter. get that out of the way, by the way. X is up there. Triple X. Porn. Or triple X. Vindiesel. I was going Vin Diesel, an ice cube. Yeah, you know, like X, like X marks the spot. Treasure. Who doesn't love treasure? X over the eyes. Dead. Dead cartoons. Yes, yes, yes. X, uh, X on the belly button. Like where to hit the bad guy in the video games. Right. Exactly. You know. Yeah. Punch out. King Hippo. That's right. Yeah. He knows. He gets it. What other X's are there? Don't, don't do that.

Stop. Right. X. X. X's and O's. Hugs and kisses. You know, the song X's and O's by Ellie Golding, right?

I don't think that's her. Is that the one that's Rob Schneider's daughter? That's what's her name in the, it's something in an elephant. What's her name? Cage? No, not Cage, the elephant. What's it?

Who does it? Ellie Golding? It's not Ellie Golding. It's Rob Schneider's daughter. What's the thing? It's like Ele. Ella. Not, no.

It's something. Who? What's the song you just said? Oh, monkey dance. Oh, it's like elephant and tones. What's it called? I don't know. I don't know what the question.

I'm trying to help. It's like monkey dance and elephant. Type in monkey dance. I want to help. Or dance monkey. Not monkey dance. Dance monkey by elephant. No, it's.

It's Ella something. Ellie King? Ellie King. Type in dance monkey. It's Ellie King. He's right. He's right. It's Ellie King. Tones and I. Is that what you're saying? Dude, where did I get the elephant? Where did I even make an elephant from? I don't know if I've ever heard this. Tones and I. Yeah. Dance monkey, dance, monkey, dance, monkey. Oh, that song sucks. Yeah.

She has another one. What's the Ellie Gold song where she's like, is it the one that light of me? That's Ellie holding. Oh, no, then who's Ellie King? The one that you're talking about. That's Rob Schneider. talking about this one I made an elephant and I don't know why show me Rob Schneider's daughter I don't think she makes music she does she does Ellie King type in I told you oh okay that's his daughter she L King this is L King this is a music forward picture here yeah yeah yeah she has X's and O's oh wow I was right about Rob Schneider's daughter's music I'm very happy for you I don't think she associates to run too I don't think she associates with her dad so forgive me

for just immediately just grouping her there. Well, I don't think her and her dad are like cool right now. Good, because you see what he did, El King? And I'm sorry about Tones and Low. I don't know why I put an elephant in your name, but it felt correct at the time. Wasn't it Tones and I? Tones and I. Who did I say? Tones and Lowe?

I don't know. We just, I'm telling, if you take the last three minutes of this episode and you played it for someone that existed in like 1941, they would put their head in a, Blender. Yeah, they would just get polio and pass out. They'd put their whole body in an iron lung. Yeah. Head first. Those are cool. I want to get into an iron lung.

No, you don't. Why not? It's just air, no? It helps me breathe. I think it's more than that, brother. It's like because people lost like... No, I know. It's not good when you're in it. It's the last one, the last dude that was in one just went. Because there's something wrong. Well, yeah, I think it's, it's polio, right? That he had? You're talking about a man I've never met or no. I didn't meet him or know him either, but I didn't.

I know that he had something that I, that I knew of. All I'm saying is an iron lung looks cozy. Sure. Bro, no way. The guy only, he couldn't control his, I think he was a quadriplegic. Frank, I'm not saying that sounds fun. I feel bad for those people. Oh, so you want to be a fully healthy, able body, able, who can, who, who's just who, I'm, I don't, I know, I'm here I am.

Here, where, just call, Nile 911, dial 911. Take it out. Take the whole thing out. Dal and I won't one next. That sounded... Take it out, daddy. Take it out. Who are the fuck?

Because it's not a good idea. No, because I refuse to support that industry because it is predatory in nature often. But like if you invest, you would invest in it. There we go. Maybe. Yes. So it depends on the idea. Well, here's the idea.

It's like porn. You guys, you know, it's not hard to remember that. Humans having sex? Yeah. But they add in like to understand grammatical stuff. So it's kind of like teaching also. Oh, no. You don't combine.

No, you don't combine those. It's a horrible idea. It's like you'll be able to take my top off if you can tell me the proper placement of a semicolon. Which who the hell knows that? Well, that's what I'm saying. You can, two birds, one stone. Listen, can't beat them. Beat him off.

I'm kidding. Wow. That's crazy. Bad idea? Semicolon, by the way? We can call it something else. No, it's a half colon. I know, but we can get the colon.

We don't have to call it a colon either because we know what a colon is. I also hate that they call the three dots and ellipses. Just call it like, um, what three dots? Where it's like at the end of a sentence where it'll be like dot, dot, dot, dot. That's called an ellipsies? Elipses, yeah. did not know that you didn't know that no i thought ellipsies was like weather that's an eclipsy no not an eclipse like what's the other one like an ellipsy is just like a cute little eclipse yeah

no like it's just like a little one little baby oh look at the little ellipsy up there no what's the other one the the solstice that's a season that's like a that's what i meant like this the year yeah it felt like all those words were similar so they i thought they all kind of meant the same thing Well, there's summer solstice and there's the winter solstice. Thank you for listing out two. That's all that there is. I know, but I thought that ellipses... Because then there's the fall and the spring equinox, right?

Right. I know, I know... What is that? What is it? It's a cool gym. No, right, yeah. And it's an expensive gym. It's an expensive gym and it's a time of the year.

Right, but is it have to do with the moon? I believe it has to do with the tilting of the earth and the angle at which the moon. and the sunlight hits us so yeah sure so naturally yeah yeah yeah i think it's like it also has to do with like the tropic of like cancer and like the there's you never heard of the tropic of cancer i'm saying you were on the right track i was just giving you your wait so that was bewilderment at how i actually knew this i was just giving you crops wait the tropic of cancer what does it do oh that part i don't know i was talking more about the tilts and yeah yeah because the earth this is the um What's it revolves?

Is it solstice? This is it's salsa? Yeah. We're solsti. Solsti. Right. And then what's Equinox when it's, she's got her thing? Equinox is when it's in the middle.

Oh. Equin. Equin. Oh, so when she's straight up, she's equinoxing. But when she's tilting, she's solsting. Yeah, she's solsting. She's like slouching. It's like when the earth slouches.

Like correct your posture. Equinox. Right. You know. But for the most part, we're solstice. We're solsting. Is that right? Do we get that right?

Can you read? I don't know So, yeah, so It's because the earth revolves around the sun It also rotates on an axis Correct And it tilts up and down like this

Which is like This is a joke We're just We're this is not even a joke We're doing this. Yeah, we're doing this in space And everyone's just like By the way, by the way Fast

Yeah, dude I mean fast in the grand scheme of things Slow for us Sure, sure, sure, sure. Speed is relative, my friend. But, like, I know, but, like, how can we not feel? Well, because it's going slow. And to us, but fast to other things.

To speed. Fast or to speed. I heard that if the, if the earth stopped spinning, everything would just go flying. Probably, or it's, I mean, it's like being in a car that you hit the brakes. Yeah. I think they, like, the speed is like. I just slammed my brakes yesterday. Very scary.

Really? Yeah, it was coming home from, uh, my brother. house you're right I mean you're okay right I mean you're okay right you're good if something bad happened I would have heard about it I'm hurt now are you yeah you had a slam on the breaks of our friendship and the whiplash just broke your heart yeah I'm gonna send you through the windshield right now slam on the fucking breaks I was gonna ask do you know how fast the earth is moving around the sun how would you like me to answer In miles per hour, please.

Wouldn't matter. I don't know. I think probably like 400,000 miles an hour. Well, around the sun, we got to think about, it takes 365 days, and we need to know the distance. He's going to say a lot of stuff and then not have an answer. It's like a couple hundred thousand miles, right? Give an answer. I said 400.

400 miles per hour. No, 400,000. Got it. I'm saying it's like, distance, eight minutes for light to hit us from the sun. You know you're not doing math. I'm trying. Let me do math. Math porn.

It's like, tell me what a summation is, and I'll show you my nipples. I don't even know what that is. Exactly. You'll get there one day. Give an answer. I would say, 782 miles per hour. 67,000 miles per hour around the sun.

I was often. I was often. I'll tell you what, though. Around 400,000 miles per hour, our entire galaxy is moving. Where's it going? It's expanding. It's an ever-you-it's everything is expanding. No, no, sorry.

You've never heard of the Doppler, like the- I know that, but you're saying we're moving, we're also going? Our entire solar system, including Earth, is orbiting in the center of the Milky Way at about 400 to 500,000 miles per hour. Fast. That's fast, brother. That's so fast. And the Milky Way is also moving through the universe at about 1.3 million miles per hour.

What is happening to us right now? We're flying right now. Shut the fuck up with all this stuff. Like, I hate that fast. Listen, I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. I think he's a cool dude. He's well-spoken. I love his vest game, okay?

But like to make this a thing you learn about life and, like, want to tell people about, shut up. The Milky Way? Great name. Great, great name for a galaxy. Delicious. I think that we should name all of the scientific stuff after chocolate bars. I'm not, yes, cosign.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Absolute cosine. I'm with you there. But then we have like Andromeda. What is that? I mean, that's a pretty cool name. Stop, stop, stop, stop. It reminds me of like, like a, like a, like a, see? Like a bad, like, you know, like cyber, bad, bad guy from like a video game.

You know what I mean? Okay. You know what I mean. Andros. That's who I'm thinking of. Can you look at the names of galaxies? Yes, we can. Then they get boring after that.

It's like, oh, there's Centauri. And it's like... Centauri, that sounds like a Japanese one. It might be, honestly. It can't be a Japanese galaxy, Frank. Why can't there be? They would have their own. You only want white galaxies, Joe?

No, I'm just saying, like, it's not... It's just a... No, like, they can name it and be like, we named it first. Wait. Does so... This is like... Someone names these galaxies. This is a real question now.

Does every... country recognize that this is called the Milky Way galaxy or do we just do that's a great question look up what the galaxy is called in other languages because we call it a Milky Way because we're fat Americans but like do the Japanese call it like something cooler I thought you're gonna I'm glad but that's like does do the Japanese people have a different name for the Milky Way I think whatever you look it up as Joe needs to try to pronounce it they don't They call it the Milky Way? No, they don't.

So, in Chinese, it's called the Silver River. Whoa, dude. That's a great name, dude. That is a really good one. The Silver River? That's a good one. What does Russia call it? Wait, why did he say they don't?

And then gave us an example of them doing it. No, like, they don't call it. No, they don't call it the Milky Way. I only have a few here. I'll try to find it. But in Finnish, it's called the Path of Birds. That's not bad, because you know, when you kind of see, it looks like birds. No, but I mean, I, you know,

we're city folk so we hate birds I mean If they were like this What is it the parade of birds The sorry the path of birds If it was like the path of Dragons I'd be like Wait so Japan calls it the silver

China China China calls it the silver river That's so good That is so good In Hindi it's the Genghis River of Heaven I think that's the real river right See that's a good one too River of Heaven It's up there.

Sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. San Scrit, the Divine Way. Love that. What is Sanskrit? Is that like a... I don't know.

I'm not going to ask because I don't want to come off as imagining that I don't. Like, I don't want people to think I don't know what that is. Let me appear like I'm smarter than I am. Yeah, dude, Sanskrit. And the Kalari people, the backbone of the night. Is it the backbone of the night? Yeah, I mean, kind of. Because when you look at the night, you could always find its backbone in the middle and it's the stars.

And that's all No sense Yo, I can't tell you How unreasonably excited I got the other night When I found the little dipper I was like Oh!

Oh! Have you been outside? That's an easy one to find I know, but that's why I'm saying unreasonably excited Bro, I went through a time in my life Where for some reason

So many people kept going That's Orion's belt To like any three stars You could find Well, it's the And that's an easy one to find It's the middle one is the North Star Isn't it?

I don't know. I mean, I don't really know what the North Star. There's a binary galaxy? Damn. Is there a non-binary galaxy? Yo, come on. That's awesome. Be more, you know, I'm sure there are people in the south.

They're like, I'm not calling it. Fireworks Galaxy. Okay, clearly I see that we let a four-year-old name. Yo, we talked about this recently. Sombrero Galaxy. We talked about, Joey's pissed about that one. We talked about this recently. I love this.

Andromeda cool Cartwheel sucks Hogue's object That just sounds like a year ago Not even maybe like three months ago I don't even remember this I think we did you know Yeah because I remember you looking it up and being like

Whoa some of these are cool I'm jogging back now Black Eye Galaxy But what do they call them in other countries Like other countries that have cooler names for things Like Germany What is Germany call the galaxy Wait hold on

Now that Now that we've found out that like other countries don't acknowledge like the Milky Way what do they acknowledge like do like because they probably named it before like the planets do they call the planets

different shit or did we decide with the planet like oh that's a good you know what look up what I just want to know what Japan calls the planets I'd like to know what Japan calls everything I think I think the planets might be one that might be more universally Earth has to be Earth no I would imagine earth is just

earth but like I could see them like it's like the planets are universal but like because those you had to like use like intense I keep saying like and people are going to get pissed out before you had to use intense like imaging

in order to see them so like those came later and everyone was just like okay all right we know the planets before when they could just see the galaxy I'd never even thought of this until now That they would have other names. This is the most intense, like,

searching of stuff that Anne has had to do. Yeah, Anne hasn't done this since, like, the SATs. What I'm trying to look up. They're all, for the planets, it's all close to the name just in their language. Oh, okay. You know, it's like, it's still. Yeah, that's, that makes sense.

But, like, not as vastly different as the Milky Way with all those other. But, and also, by the way, all, this is crazy. All of our planets are named after like Roman gods. Are they? Yeah. Mars, Jupiter. Venus, Saturn, Uranus.

You're naming the planets. Those are Roman gods. Yeah. So the fact that ancient Romans were just like, yo, that's Jupiter. That's the whatever number it is. It's just like, how the hell, dude? How the fuck did they know that was up there? Listen, I'm telling you right now.

How the fuck did they know about me? I would have been stoned and killed because I'd just be like, yo, you all are, I'd go back with the time and the knowledge and be like, yo, you guys are idiots, dude. Let me show you a phone. I'd bring it like Nintendo Switch with me and I would ruin their lives Nate Bargotsy has a great bit

about if he went back in time even if he had a cell phone he'd be like I don't know that I would change anything because I or he was like oh you know now with the phones like now they have a cell phone you have it in your hand they'd be like how do they do it and he's like I don't know I don't want to do his bit for

but like he has this really funny bit about that like which is true it's like if you went back in time how would you well I heard the thing like the one line I heard was if you brought a motorcycle to the middle ages, they'd learn how to use

it, but they wouldn't be able to replicate it because they don't have the technology. And that's the same thing with a gun. But you'd be the motorcycle guy. Yang, yang. Here he comes. There's ye old asshole Frank. Yeah, exactly. You know? Dushbag. There were no roads.

There were dirt roads, brother. They had wagons. They had to walk. They would make roads with their feet. That a motorcycle could last on, maybe. Depends what kind of tires you get on there. I'd bring a dirt bike.

I'll tell you this. Yes. I'd bring a dirt bike back to the middle of the ladies. One flat tire? Suddenly not so cool. I would bring an AK-47 back to the Revolutionary War.

That would win the war. Pet, that, pet, pet, pet. If I'm just like, yo, George. Who's George? Washington. Oh, oh. The Revolutionary.

The George at the time. The George. The George. Yeah. Boy, do I have something for you guys? You don't need to march and play flutes to go and fight them. Sit right here and just press one button and win the war. They had guns too.

Yeah. It took them 40 minutes to shoot two rounds, dude. Yeah. It'd be like, all right, set up, fire, and the fucking bullet would end up over there. And then they'd be stuffing this thing with like feathers and powder and shit like that. Dude, I'd like to shoot a musket at some point in my life. Wouldn't you? My father-in-law wants a black powder rifle.

Or he has one. What is that? Or you pour the powder, the gunpowder. Hell yet. Now we're talking. I want to shoot and this thing light up like an old camera. Just like, yeah, like smoke everywhere.

Just like explodes in your face. Yeah. You just want this thing. Just blasding you in the face. I'm back to subjugation, baby. It'll knock your contacts out. What? Well, because we're back to the original conversation with the

It's amazing how when you cut to ads, how my brain just shuts off for 40 seconds. It's a thing. I do have one thing that we have written down.

You mentioned something about toilet page. in China. Yeah, dude. So I saw, yep, we're going to talk about toilet paper in China. There was a, it's going, not viral, but like I saw a story that basically public toilets in China have QR codes on the toilet paper dispensers now, so you need to watch like a 30-second ad in order to get toilet paper. Don't, don't, I'm not, I don't.

What do you, be honest. First of all, I know how you feel about public toilets, you'll crap your pants. before you go to a public toilet. I mean, I'll only use them in an emergency, yes. If you walked in and you saw a QR code gatekeeping toilet paper. Let's be very honest about something. It's me.

Hello? I'm in China. I won't notice that this thing isn't available until I am already done crapping. Oh, well, yeah. Because who thinks of the toilet paper during the crap? It's always at the back end.

Yeah, I'll never go. You? You think about, oh, yeah, he's a bird. He nests his shit. Oh, yeah, he, like, folds it up and, like, kisses it and puts a wax stamp on it before he wipes his fucking ass with it. No, no, no, he, like, throws, like, sticks and dirt into the toilet, and then he shits on it, and then, yeah. Wait, what? No, he throws, like, toilet paper in the toilet.

So he craps on top of toilet. So you're, you're, yeah. He makes a nest. He's like a bird. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You're like a bird. A little birdie. He throws toilet for what?

Because there's no splash. No splash. Yep. It prevents the splash. So you get a little, that's where. guess what guess where toilet water are supposed to be

if not in the bowl a sprinkle or two on your ass asshole I don't I don't really agree with what you're saying I don't know if that's a good argument I think there's better arguments

to make like hey how about your plumbing some sacrifices are willing to make also also your crap is above water now it's really not that

your crap is above water so it stinks it's no it goes through you're gonna tell me you've never crapped how heavy are your poops It's just not, they're not that light. You're dropping dense logs?

Yeah, dude. It could go through the paper. I fucking hate this conversation. You're dropping, I mean, you, I hate this. I didn't think that my bird nesting was going to come up. I meant more like, when you go to a public stall, you need to check if there's even toilet paper there. I don't do that. Well, I, I, the expectation is, is, is, is, do you mind?

Do you mind? if i'm going to a public bathroom i am there with one thought on the mind and it is i hope no one hears this hurry hearing i don't people don't give a fuck about hearing in public toilets you will you will take a dump like as loud as you can first of all i'm there for business i'm not thinking about noises i'm not i am i'm not one of those people that's just like Ugh! That's not what I mean. I mean, like, you know, like, when you go to the bathroom, sometimes there's noises.

I will try to prevent that at all costs. How, you like squeeze your little asshole? Yeah. Too much? Yeah, that's true. That's what I will do. Seriously? Yeah, yeah.

That's crazy. You just got it like, I mean, I'm not sitting there fucking, it doesn't sound like a gun show in my stall. Well, I'm not saying it sounds like that. Sometimes, you know, there's... So you're going in and you're just praying that it doesn't sound like a World War II reenactment? Well, it's not. not well like I said I only use public restroom is when it's like an absolute emergency so like I'll try to avoid them absolute emergency is my middle name baby yeah I don't I don't have a choice

but like you know that's why it's like I'm not I'm not going in there you know you're looking around you're enjoying the wallpaper and then you're taking a dump like I'm there and I have to go now so yeah I could I could imagine but this if it was you had like half or like single ply and then if you wanted like the cottonell some some upgraded shit like upgraded toilet paper then i could understand it it's like the phone like the ads on your phone where it's just like you get another life and jetpack joy ride if you watch a 30 second ad of the king on king's watch or whatever it's called that specific you know what i'm saying yeah you know or it's just like you know i hate those ads but

That I would understand I do want to say this before we continue Those ads During like phone games Where they're purposefully Purpose for For for Purposefully

Losing the game Yeah they're just like I can play this so much better It makes you download it I know that you fucking scientists out there You bitches Psychologists are like if you make it If you play it bad

They'll want to play it good It'll be like a bow It'll be like a stick and stone And it'll be like, advance 1,000 years or minus 10 years. And they'll be like, oh, oh, minus 10 years. And then it turns into a sperm. Yeah. What is that about?

And then, yeah, I fucking hate you guys. And also, I'm pretty sure, don't get me, don't ask me why. But I'm pretty sure that's Russia that's making all those, okay? I'm pretty sure. Don't ask me why. I have no grounds to stand on. Right. Well, this is a safe space to talk.

Okay. I downloaded one of those games once where it was just like, you know, like advance or like times for the amount of people in your little gang or like the ones where it's like the zombies are running down this way and you have to like shoot them yeah and there's one big one

just fucking I downloaded that game and then I immediately it was just like agree to the terms of license I deleted it because I was like this is Russia don't ask me how or why what's Russia gonna do well you know what fucked me up do you remember that app that one summer it was like 2016 or 2019

it went mega viral and it was like an app where you can like show what you would look like as an old person or like show yeah yeah and then someone was just like this is russia oh i think that was china china i was just china is china is ticto so i was just burnt from there i mean everything is china and russia they can have my information i what am i going to do i mean it's all out there anyways that's what i mean everyone knows of joe sanagato and they know you they know more you than me numbers don't lie so if anyone russia's coming for you first and then me second damn they'd probably be pumped

to be you. They'd be like, you could stay. We like you. Thank you. You can hang out with the blade of the middle. Take your shirt off. Take your shirt off. What were you talking about before I got into the ads? The toilet paper. Oh, before we got to the ads. No, no, I mean like before the ad conversation about those games, the game ads. Well, I was talking about like, if it was, if you had to watch an ad for like better quality toilet paper, I would. I would do that. I think that we should eliminate the first and second tier of toilet paper and just go with the better ones now like there's no reason for me to be anywhere and a toilet yeah but like what is i don't understand why but like you have to spend money on toilet paper like it seems

like it is a basic sanitary need i mean people are you know they have to be paid the ones who are making it that should be a government subsidiary like that should be they should be funded for like general hey man i know i know i know i know i know i know but i'm saying like Like, the way that, like, can you use, like, Snap benefits or is it EBT? Yeah, Snap and EBT, right? I assume. Can you use that for toilet paper? I assume?

I mean, we don't need to look that up. I mean, I would hope because, like, that's a basic sanitary need. Yeah, I just don't see the, I don't see why we need very thin toilet paper in this world. Dude, I know that some are like, all right, this is like, I'm. wiping my ass with a temporepetic blanket here. This is crazy. There's some, this TikTok account, and it's this guy, and he's like, these are little luxuries.

They're luxuries that are like a couple. They're more expensive, but they're not like hyper luxury things. Good toilet paper is one of those things that I just can't. Bro, I grew up with my mom getting Scots toilet paper. No offense to Scots. You're doing a good thing. You're making it cheaper for people that need it. But I could literally hold it and see through it.

it that's what i mean like i'm wiping my ass with fucking tissue wrapping yeah i gotta i gotta crumble this thing up like i'm making it if i can put it over a picture in a fucking coloring book of tweety bird and draw it perfectly that we got a problem we have an issue here you know are you scots you scots i actually think i have scots in my apartment too they make them like now like ribbed for your pleasure and shit like you got you got some here that's got some squiggles in it and stuff like that none of them are ribbed no they have ribbed toilet paper ribbed ribbed ribbed ribbed brother show him ribbed toilet paper

I've used it and it kind of does its job I mean you think about like the reason that we're able to pick up goods and items what does it feel like though it feels like it's like gripping my asshole

like and you like it well just because it does a good job yeah but I don't like it because oh you think I'm sitting there fucking fingering my ass on the toilet I'm not I'm not I'm saying you're wiping

I don't know no it's like that's why we have ridges and fingerprints because that's what helps us grip. If it's completely smooth, it's going to fucking fly off your bung. Off your bung.

Look, yeah. Charm. It's Charmin or cut? Oh, I've used that before. I mean, it's not like ribbed. No, brother. That is ribbed. That's just paper towels. It's really more this one, right? Yeah. That's the rib. Yeah, I've used that before. That's what I'm talking about.

I got some of that industrial shit because when I worked on my college campus, it was like the toilets in the dorm rooms were like industrial they had like the industrial holder yeah so like you could buy your own but then they had the ones it's like the big plastic one that like you have to like open with a key and put in a roll that's this big oh those were horrible i mean they did their job though brother i know but i don't i don't like that i still have a roll of them i took like eight when i left college 10 years ago

and i still have like one left no throw out no why would i throw it out it's a perfectly good roll of toilet paper Being able to hoard a piece of toilet paper A roll of toilet paper It is in my car right now In your car Yeah God prepared I go somewhere

They don't have toilet paper I'm prepared That's insane Why is that insane And you also moved it from your old car To your new car You have a new car Did you do that at the dealership

Before you gave your car And like hold on Let me get this giant roll of toilet paper No I did it at my house Have you used the toilet paper Not in like six, seven years. I mean, that's, oh, that's not true.

I spilled, I told you, that day I came in and I had a big stain on my shirt because of Burger King. Yeah. I used it then. Got it. You know, but no, I haven't like wiped my ass with it. Is it like in your back seat? Oh, it's on my, like, you know how like you could see out your rear view mirror and you

see out the back windshield? Yeah. It's right behind, it's right on there where the headrest is, like behind the headrest. What? Behind your head. in the car is a roll of 10-year-old toilet paper that you stole from college. Stole is, they gave it to me. Right.

The janitorial staff gave it to me. So if I'm sitting in your car and I'm sitting behind the driver's seat, I am four inches away from getting knocked out with industrial-grade toilet paper. Yes, that is correct, sir. That's so crazy. I mean, it's like the people that always carry, like, baby wipes on them. Very different. I don't think that's different at all.

Anastrial-grade roll of toilet paper or a... What is the difference in what the item physically is? What is the difference? More practical use. I think one of those... I mean, significantly... And one's, like, portable.

That is fair. Re-sealable. That is fair. But you don't need to seal dry paper. You need to seal those because they're moist. Moist taillette. Moist towelette. Oh, there's a certain selective pick-meas

that watch our episode. They're just like... Oh, moist. You know what I don't get at, like, nice restaurants? and like on Delta flights. Oh, it's such a little luxury. They're like, here's your hot towel.

You're steaming hot towel. They got hot towels on Delta. Hot towels on Delta. Listen, I'm a United boy. I fly United all the time. They got some hot towels. Really? And they're doing.

They're cushioning and they're thick. And these things come out and it's... Oh. You put it on your face? I do a little. I put it on my cheek sometimes. I do. I'm too afraid to cover my face.

I do. Oh, you do that? Oh, yeah. That feels crazy. It feels awesome. But, like, think about how many people have used that towel. Me. That's why they steam them to sanitize them, you fuck.

I know. You fuck. I know, I'm just thinking about, like, so many people had this on their face. Yeah, but they've been sanitized. Sure, sure, sure. It's, like, they are good. They're basically new for what I'm using them for. But, like, why do I need my hands hot?

I don't know. The first time that happened to me, I was, like, 16 years old at Yankee Stadium. And I went to the New York Yankee Steakhouse. And I was there and I was just like, oh, my God. And someone, I sat in like a big leather chair to eat dinner, which was crazy. Yeah, what? At the time. What are you, Goldilocks?

And then they gave me like a hot towel like that. And I felt so like, what do I do? Yeah. You know, I felt so like. When you go, when you have like your first fancy restaurant and like those types of experiences, it's, you know, you kind of fuck it up. I remember one time I was at a restaurant and they I ordered a steak and they brought it over and they were just like look yeah before they cooked it and I was like I don't yeah that's the steak that's the same I remember that happened at in Vegas when we were like 23 in Vegas and they were

like we brought over the cart of steaks to show you all the cuts and I was just like this is awesome yeah at that point in my life I was like steak and then I like went to like Texas Roadhouse and I was like, oh, that one has great marbling, Texas Roadhouse. I'll take the second one from the bottom, Texas Roadhouse. The guy's like, okay, dude. Yeah, the guy's like, just point and tell me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know?

Yeah, I love those little luxuries that, like, nice. Like, that's obviously a huge perk of, like, us going to these cities for these shows. We get to eat at some really good restaurants. And, like, the little, like, you know, like, I went to a wine tasting once, and they gave you the little, like, things to suck on to, like, cleanse your palate. Have you ever had that? what little thing it's like a little it looks like an oyster cracker

and like the idea is you're supposed to put it in your mouth and like suck on it and it cleanses your palate so you're ready for the next round of wine I've never experienced that at all a lot of people do like sorbets sorbets like a raspberry sorbet or something like that prefer a little cracker you prefer a cracker

for a cracker Daddy wants a cracker Jesus. Speaking of, I don't know why this is speaking of, I sent Ant a quiz because I got, I know it's very confusing that it led here, but I saw Captain Crunch and I stared at the box for five minutes and I was like, yo, that's not Captain Crunch. It looked fake to me.

So I sent Ant. They rebranded him? I sent Aunt one of those like Mandela Effect quizzes. Oh, okay. The reason I got me there is because it's the parrot, daddy want a cracker. Captain Crunch. Got it, got it, got it.

So I want to just test how many of us can act, like, what we could do. I bet you I do well at this, by the way. I'm looking at this picture of Captain Crunch, and I would love some. Dude, Captain Crunch is coming back because they're getting rid of all the fake dyes and shit like that. Your hero, RFC Jr., really, like, kind of, like, set us, he set us forward with some stuff. I mean, by your own words. I love Captain Crunch, but I can, here's the thing. I can have three bowls of fruity pebbles.

I can only have one box One bowl of Captain Crunch Because my mouth comes out Like someone took a cheese grater And face fucked me I don't even fucking care dude Sign me up for two Really?

So what is it? Is it Captain Crunch or Cap'n Crunch? It is very clearly Cap'n Crunch Like very clearly Like no cap'n No it was never Captain Like yo you're Skibbitty Cap'n right now I don't know why they went with this

Like why they decided to do that Also what's with the Quaker Oats guy On the fucking other box That's probably who owned it I could see Captain Crunch was like when they first got when they first came out in like this 70s it's like this is Captain Crunch yeah I don't get it why Cap and Crunch but that's that's clearly okay good good good you got it good I'm surprised we're fine we're fine yeah what is jigsaw's signature line in the saw movies see this is that it's uh I did for a second think this was all

I'm going to say Alaskan Airlines because of American Airlines. Be honest. If you saw airplane from a certain state, which would be the scariest. Which would be the scariest. Florida. Yeah. Okay. At least we're in agreement there.

I'm going to say Alaskan. Alaskan Airlines. I think there are technically already is a Florida airline. It's called Spirit. Oh. Jesus. I'm going to say Alaskan. I'll say Alaskan as well.

How do you spell this saint's name? Now, that is Mother Teresa. But there's an H or not? There's no H. I think there's no H because she was Italian, right? Teresa. She was something. It was a mama Teresa.

And Chuckie Cheese is like, he takes, that's his name, but this is, this is Chuckie Cheeses. It's his, he takes ownership, it's his place, dude. It's my cheese.

Like, it's Freddie Fazz Bears, not Freddie Fazz Bear. Yeah. You know, that's a FNAF reference for the kids. I'm trying to get the younger generation into our younger demo can get a little, get them in here. Let's talk FNAF. Let's talk, let's talk, uh, uh, let's talk Foxy and Chica. Okay.

There's detail on that blue nose. Yeah. You could see the nostrils. That's why I think, listen, me and Tony Tiger. I love, I love Frost. Honestly, they are great. It's just such a simple, like, yeah, dude. He's not beating around the bush.

Tony to Tiger. Just do it. They're great. Blue fucking nose. Also, a tiger and a bandana, just a cool image. Tigers, awesome. Bandanas, cool. Sugary cereal?

Also cool. Frosted Flakes also regarded as a top five all time. We could argue. Blue nose? Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you, Aunt. A couple clicks.

We're not going to get another one wrong. I think I'm pretty sure we do better than like the normal. person on this. Let's fucking go. Does Morpheus from the Matrix say... What if I told you? I probably shouldn't. What if I told you everything you knew it was a lie?

Oh, does Morpheus say that? Does he say it? Well... This is going to be for you because I haven't seen the Matrix. Here's the thing. If they're asking if he says it, then it's not that he says it that way. It's that he says it another way.

Instead, it wouldn't be like, what if I told you everything you knew was a lie? It would be like, what if I said everything is a lie. Like that they would fuck with the wording like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think just playing the game here. Process of a limine. I think I'm going to say no he doesn't say that and it's like, no, actually he says this. Yeah, I agree.

It'll pop up and be like, no, he says, what if I told you everything was a lie? But he doesn't say whatever, everything was not true. Yeah. Bang. What does he say? All those memes were lied. That wasn't even such a line in the movie. There you go. Oh, wow. There you go. Oh, there was just, that just wasn't in there. We made it up.

What does Henry the 8th hold in his famous portrait? What the fuck? Is this a good one? What is that? A turkey leg or gloves? What is that? He looks like a fat ass. So here's why I'm going to say turkey leg.

Because it was like a turkey leg, is it? It says turkey leg. Oh shit. In the words. Here's the thing. Here's why I'm going to say turkey leg. It was a status thing to have money and be fat. back then that meant you had access to food

and you were wealthy. So, I think it's a turkey leg. I think I'm going turkey like too. It just feels like the glove looks really good in this picture. Like it makes more sense?

Yeah, also this feels like a thing where they would put the glove, but then the people make fun of them, you know, would like put a turkey leg in there. Ah, that's a good point. Also, let's talk about the shadow on like below the turkey leg. It's Not big enough, but it fits perfectly for the glove. That's what I'm saying.

I feel like it's more believable that it would be gloves, though. So that's why I think it's a turkey lab. Yeah. This is an impasse, is what we call it in the news. Yeah. You're a newscaster now? I don't know. Turculate?

Sure. Yeah. It's like, goddamn gloves. All right. We fell for the meme. The thing just says, why would he hold a turkulate? What is the correct logo for Volkswagen? Oh, I know this one.

Oh, I think it's. It's the gap. It is? I don't know. Yeah, it's the gap. All right. I'll believe you. I believe you.

It's definitely the gap. It's a gap. Thank you. You 100% in that one. Yeah. That's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, crazy. You got to have the gap. What is the predominant color on Uncle Sam's hat?

That's a fantastic question. I have to see. Oh. Oh. Red. I want to say blue looks more natural, though. It does. By the way, I got to say,
