Welcome back to the basement.
Welcome back to the basement yard.
I was going to, I don't, I'm starting to run out of ideas of what to do at the start of this.
Should I just?
I feel like that's what our show is.
When people always ask, like, oh, how do you guys prep?
I'm like, we definitely start the show without knowing where we're going to go.
Yeah.
I mean, I think, like, you need to just like.
Get the jitters out.
The cobwebs.
You need to get the jit.
I don't know if the jitters are what I'm getting out.
I know you're going to say jizz.
I'm not going to start.
You're going to get the jizz out.
What would you do?
If you got the jizz out?
If like I like legit was, no.
I can't even say that.
I wouldn't do that.
Do what?
Jerk off right now.
On the show?
No, like, why are you crying?
What are you doing?
My dog's here.
He's already causing a scene.
He's beat.
Oh, look at here he goes.
Beat me up.
He's fucking little rat.
Come up here, buddy.
He's crying because he, because he.
Who's this?
Say something in a say, go.
Okay.
What if he just started talking?
That would be pretty.
started talking right there would be pretty cool no that would be pretty cool what would be the first
question you'd ask him do you love me a thousand percent obviously yeah yeah you honestly
okay so it's funny that this actually happened just now because this is a real thing i wanted to talk
about yesterday i cried for the first time in a while so hard sobbing tears coming down my face
because i saw a video of something with a dog you got to stop with these dog videos i'm gonna
make you got to stop with these dog video you need to go see the horror movie what i need is a like
I don't even know.
I need to find a medicine that will make this thing live forever because I'm not going to be the same.
This thing.
He doesn't even view it as a person.
I definitely do.
So this is the thing that made me cry.
I saw this video yesterday.
And it's a video of this couple and their dog and they're sitting on a bench and there's a sign next to them.
And it says, it's our dog's last day.
Give us some advice and him a treat.
We brought lots.
And it's like the sad music and they're sitting there and the dog is like whatever.
And then people are coming over and sitting with them.
and like they have other dogs that come and they're just like hanging out and I'm like
and then at the end of it's like the dog they killed I mean they I don't say they killed the dog
they had to put the dog down right and I'm like oh my god and I just started like welling up I'm like
this is so fucked up it's so sad the next video that I swip to and I'm gonna try and get through this
without crying again because every time I read it it it fucking kills me I mean we'd probably
do pretty good if you started crying on the show Joey this says to all other
I can't even fucking read you got it you got it you got it you got it you got it you got it
it says to all the other doggies in heaven please be kind to my baby Jesus Christ and
it's a little dog and it says he doesn't like being away from his mom and is scared of other
dogs so then he should probably not go to doggy heaven he should go to like regular heaven
don't oh that would be nice and then the comments are pictures of other people putting pictures
of their dog and this one it's this
This one is another dog, and it says, my girl arrived on Wednesday.
She loved little dogs.
She's got him.
And I was literally like, fuck that bitch, bro.
Like, she knows I'm reading.
Charlie is her name.
And then this one, my big boys got him.
He always looked after his little pug.
Bro, if you go in the comments, it's all...
Oh, that's sweet.
It's a sense of community.
See, that's what social media and the internet should be.
He's crying, dude.
It's like a big hug.
Instead, it's a big...
I agree.
It's a big this.
Bro, the thing that...
That's the internet.
What?
The thing that made me like
Start crying or whatever
In this first video
It's like look at this
These are random people coming
And they're like sitting down
And with their dogs
Like this is so sweet
That's acts of kind of
I'm gonna tell you this
What is it called on TikTok
I think it's called like Hopecore
It's like Hopecore videos
Yes
Hopecore videos get me
Every single time
And they have that same song over it
That gets me every time
When
I mean
It's called a thousand years
Colors and things
Bob
You know what else I saw?
Because that was also
That was like Hope Corps
This whole shit
Hope Corps
It was just all videos
That were gonna make me cry
I saw a video
And it was a guy
And he's doing something
With his daughter
They're like mixing something
Like they're about to bake
Or some shit
And then the girl out of nowhere
Just goes
Daddy you're my best friend
And the dad's like
Those fuck me up
And I literally was like
I'm not gonna survive children
At all
Dude you are not
You are not
I was putting Ruby to sleep yesterday.
Oh, God.
And it's, first of all,
the little parts of life are the most beautiful with kids.
Because, like, you don't realize, like, you were like,
oh, I love you, blah, blah, blah.
But then you hear it from them, like, unprompted.
You can be like, oh, do you love daddy?
Yes, I love daddy.
Oh, that's nice.
That means something, but also I ask you.
Like, give it to me real.
I'm putting her to sleep.
And she's like, can you scratch my back and sing me a song?
Of course, absolutely.
My God, this is your daughter.
You would ask me to do that.
Of course.
I do whatever.
Yeah.
And then I go, all right.
You know, I say my, my, my, my, my, like, bedtime words to her and whatever.
And she goes, no, please stay for 20, 50 minutes.
That's what she thinks of like, when she thinks of things in like big numbers terms, she goes, 2050.
And I'm like, you want me to stay?
And she goes, yeah.
And I go, why?
And she goes, well, it's because I love you so much.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not that way.
I'm sleeping in the room.
I'm not kidding.
I would have stayed there.
until now.
The year 2050.
The year 2050.
That's not that long.
That's only 27 years, Joe.
It's a long time.
I definitely didn't add right.
It's 25.
Bad, man.
But like,
dude,
Hope Corps.
Hope Corps.
Because like,
that's what the internet should be.
It should be the community set.
Because the internet,
here we go.
Negative.
You ready?
It's negative.
You ready?
You ready?
Fucking internet.
The internet.
has just become just a fucking dirty diaper of a place.
A dirty diaper.
Like, you see that, you know it's there, and you see that it's a diaper.
And then you're just like, oh, it's sagin.
I know what's making it sag.
Shit and piss.
Yeah, I think we're focusing on the diaper too much.
I think we're doing.
It feels like you have like, did you deal with a big dirty diaper today or something?
Oh, every day, baby.
Every day.
Every day.
Every day.
Every day's a blowout.
Bastards up.
It's a blowout up the back.
I'm just saying like, the internet was supposed to be a communal place that is representative.
I genuinely believe, genuinely believe that normal people within our society are kind-hearted.
Most people are kind-hearted are vying and looking for a sense of belonging and acceptance and community.
So when the internet does that?
Why did I go to Manuscalcourt?
Yeah, I don't know.
What the internet does that?
You hear what I'm saying?
I follow some pages that do that.
I get so fucking frothed up.
Dude, there's one page.
That's a crazy way to describe.
We're back to come, man.
Yeah, I guess.
There's one page that does the whole, like,
this streamer had no views.
Yeah.
And they're like, I donated a dollar.
And then they were like, oh, thank you so much.
And then they get.
thousands of you
I fucking love it
Yeah I love that shit
So how long did you cry
A good 15
That's it
That's it
Well I was going through
Like I'm talking about a real 15 by the way
I was laughing
Because I'm like
I'm crazy
I'm crazy I'm laughing
And I liked it
Because I hadn't cried in a while
So I was like
Yeah no I'm Frank
I was bursting out laughing
Like laughing crying
Laughing my ass off
And crying
And I just kept on
Like you fucking bitch
Were you alone
no Nicole's videotaping me like I'm a fucking psychopath like and I'm like yeah it's great I mean she was crying
anyone who's watching those kinds of things you're gonna cry well I think it's also good to reset
your emotional balance you gotta get it out and as it was coming at like as I was crying
because then I was crying and I like that's what made made it so funny to me because I'm crying
and then I can still feel that I have still I still have more crying got crying in my
cry in your throat. I love feeling cry in my throat. Yeah, like, you know when you start crying,
you're like, I got more because it's all packed in right here. And you feel it. You're like,
there it is. It's right there. I could, if I like shove my fingers down my throat, I touch the cry.
Exactly. Because it's so palpable. I want to just, just scream. I just want to go,
oh, well, good and cry. A good cry scales. Okay. The scales of our emotions. Every now and then,
you need to reset them. You need to rebalance.
recalibrate your emotional stability.
You just got to let it out.
So it's good to find a little hope and love and joy.
On the internet.
Because you don't know where it is.
Bro, you don't know.
You got to find it sometimes.
You know what's interesting.
And I know this is probably very obvious,
but I'm going to say it anyway.
Happiness is interesting.
No.
I was going to say that when you,
especially like a day like today,
it's a fall day.
It's nice and breezy.
It's kind of cool.
The sun is out.
There's some clouds in the,
sky it looks like the toy story fucking bedroom or whatever the fuck and you're walking around
and you're like this is better than anything but we spend all our time online and online a lot of
it is just negative and it's like oh if we just and i know a lot of people say it as like a disc it's
like yo go touch grass but yo really big a month dude i am not kidding it's nice to be outside
i spent the last two days just kind of getting stuff done around the house not on my phone
and at one point i just sat in the yard yeah and i just said
sat there and I looked up at the sky
and I saw the moon and I was like
when's the last time I did this? You know what my sister said
to me this morning because I went to my mom's and
she said that she's like the other day I
just laid on the grass. Yeah and just like was just watching
the house. Yo, one of my
favorite things. Becca taught me this. One of my favorite things. She saw
a study once and and it makes sense. She's like there is a
whether it be correlation or what
but a link between like
a feeling of serotonin like not serotonin
no serotonin yeah happy dopamine or dopamine whatever
and getting your hands dirty
like in the grass like planting
or in meatballs like meatballs
oh my god I'm squishing meatballs
when I fucking grab ground beef
and I see your hand shit through its fingers
yeah it starts pooping through your fingers
there's nothing better than that dude
there's nothing better nice
Just getting all the meatballs in your hands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what you need to do soon?
You know what I do with the kids every now and then?
Make meatballs with your hands?
We get, we cook down, we cook with fresh tomatoes, put them in a ball.
Smush them, squish them.
Smush them.
You know what I like?

He's like a...
He does like the meat.
He's a meat guy on...
What side?
He's on TikTok.
But he like...
He grabs the...
I'm gonna use this happy Thursday here.
He like grabs the pepper mill and he like spins it in his fingers and then he just
fucking catches it.
Hey, cranked that shit.
Oh, is that the guy who's like, oh, he's got a toothpick in his mouth?
He's got, and he's just like, today we're making the waggo of every bird.
Wait, does he talk?
Yeah.
Well, how else would he?
Well, I think there's a guy that I've seen on TikTok and he like, always has a tank top and a tooth thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's another guy.
He's got, this guy's got meat.
He's got meat.
They all got them.
But, like, he's like, today we're cooking the waggoo of every, of like, three different types of brisket.
And it's like cheap, middle, 8, 5.

Stay home, put music on, and cook a meal that requires you to get your hands.
Fresh pasta
Let's make this easier
Fresh song
Get your hands in a bowl of meat
And just get it a little
Or even better
Go collect dirt
Put your hands in the dirt
A bowl of dirt
And put a little water in there
And just mix around I mean
You know what I don't mind
A worm
I don't mind a worm
You like worms? If I'm touching the earth
I don't like it
What else are you getting them? I don't know if I had like
a bag of like miracle grow and there's like a worm
in there's like the fuck are you doing here but if I'm in the earth
I'm touching the earth I don't mind a worm
or Roli Polly! Oh I love a Roli Polly
I used to kill them but I don't do it anymore. Good for you
but I used to be like I just think like there is
I know we're saying the most obvious thing in the world
that's what I was going to say for. And we're trying to like
hijack it is like it's our idea now. No I know and I was like that's how
you know we're fucked because I'm over here being like oh it's so
nice to go outside. That's how fucked we are. Think about
in 10 years what I just
said will probably be like profound
I can almost
and I'm saying go outside it will not be profound
I can almost guarantee that
I just think like
there is and listen
this is coming from a person that like loves to unwind
what playing video games
and like just kind of like puzzle
Beck and I started a puzzle recently
what kind of puzzle you said like a 2,000 piece puzzle
oh jig
yeah
what other puzzles are there
3D
what is that you what's a three
it's like you build it up
I've never even heard of that
really they're really hard I thought I don't know
like a puzzle I figured it could be like
I don't know I don't see I don't know
look what do you think I'm doing
but a puzzle is kind of like a general
jigsaw problem
no but like it's so put it
I had to set up like a table
in my room that's the worst I know I know
it sucked but but like
just like something where you can just kind of like
aimlessly do nothing
tap out and tap out and like
if you want to go outside
and you want to just
walk in the park, collect a pine cone.
Go find a pine cone. Can you eat pine cones? I don't know.
Acorns you can, but you got to boil the tannic acids out. The tannins.
Oh. Okay. Yeah.
But remember we used to decorate pine cones? I did it with the kids the other day. We got
them. Rhinestones? They brought them home. They painted them.
Painted them. Paint them. But like, see, like this is, we are so inundated with just like
entertainment, your phone
and over here and streaming
and fucking Apple music
just do something
that is so low lift
let the wind hit you
let the wind hit your fucking ass dude
yo
when's the last I'm not saying
I'm being dead seriously
I'm not listen no no don't threaten
indecent exposure I'm not going to tell people to do that
bro when was the last time the wind has hit your ass
though recently
we got an outdoor shower
You have an outdoor shower
Hell yeah, babe
And you got out there
And you dumped it
And I was in that shower
That's fine
Is it surrounded
Yeah, it is
Nice
You step out

And I just
Yeah
Wow the breeze

Yeah yeah
Why did you use the shower outside
For fun
And I got it
What fuck you mean
Just for fun
Because I
like to see the sky when I wash my fucking balls.
Wasn't that be nice?
That would be nice though.
When's the last time you looked and saw the clouds while washing your cock?
Do you have a window?
No, I don't have a window.
Yes, you do have a window.
How do you know if I have a window?
I've been to your bathroom while you're in it and your shower.
I'm showered in your bathroom with my ass out of here.
No, I've seen, I've seen a cloud.
It's nice.
Do me a favor.
I like an outdoor shower.
You know what I would do if I was you?
Don't point.
I would, if it rained, I would go
to my backyard, roll around in the mud like a pig.
Listen, it poured.
It poured yesterday.
Guess what we said to the kids.
Go play at a pub!
TV off, door open, get the fuck back there.
Yeah.
And Mave and Ruby, we're sitting there, walking back and forth, just singing?
I love being in the rain.
I love the rain.
Dude, I love being in the rain because, because a lot of R&B music videos I've watched.
You best believe anytime I get in the rain, I find a puddle and I kick like us.
I like to be out in the rain because it just, it makes me feel like...
Usher.
It makes me feel like the song unwritten.
You know what I mean?
Release your inhibition.
And I'm like, oh, I'm just out here and I don't even care.
I'm so wet.
You know what?
I'm taking this out.
We're taking, the basement yard is starting a fucking movement.
We're taking back the world.
We're not doing it.
We already know.
But like, what we're saying is obvious.
Just make a mess.
go somewhere and just make a fucking mess
that's what I'm talking about
this is what we're calling the fall
we're saying make meatballs
yeah make a mess
you need to make a mess
now that the fall is coming
make a big giant thing of leaves
and jump in it messy fall
you have to coin everything
we're not coin in this
well we did it
you make a giant triangle
of leaves
and you're jumping it
and you get a couple
couple ants on you, you get a couple of bug bites, whatever.
Listen.
You know how I feel.
About leaves?
About life.
I hold on to a childlike imagination, sense of wonder, playfulness.
You know that.
You know that about me.
And I'm not just talking to Megasords.
I'm talking just like in the way I go about.
I like pranking people, making hobbies.
Yeah.
It's fun for me.
Yeah.
Let's bring that back.
Let's reestablish
Let's reestablish a sense of just
Joy and Wonder, Hope Corps.
Frank, we're going to call.
You're prefaceing a conversation
that we are 18 minutes into that.
We're already deep in the pool, baby.
But like I'm establishing, we're gathering
the basement yard, our fans and our supporters
are so fucking incredibly supportive
and they get behind us with the movement.
Get behind us with this movement.
It's going to be called
B. Y. Joy Corps.
You know what I think about?
You know that scene in, what's it called?
Fucking Shawshank Redemption, where he's outside
and he just escaped prison and it's raining.
No, I got a better scene.
What is it?
If it's a fucking Marvel movie.
No, you're going to like this one.
The remake of the longest yard,
where they're practicing in the room.
And they're just having fun.
And it's CCR.
Just, ha, I want to know.
Have you all seen the rain?
Boom, boom, boom
Grown men playing in a puddle
What's better than that?
That's weird coming out of my mouth
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But you get what I mean?
They can play in puddles,
but when they make puddles,
that's when it's a problem.
Now I'm confused.
The kids come.
Yeah, no, that's great.
Oh my God, I want to go jump in a puddle right now.
Listen, I saw a dog yesterday.
I went for a walk, and there was a dog walking over,
and there was a puddle because it rained.
And he was drinking out of the puddle.
And you like that.
filthy little fucker. And I was like, that's disgusting.
That's a filthy fucker. I think
it's a, yeah. Yeah. I kind of
like when dogs like don't listen and they
just jump into like mud and shit.
Well, because in their nature. Hey! Hey! Hey!
But Joey, in their nature?
Are you going to explain the nature of a dog to me now?
Like in there, like you, like this happens
with kids all the time. When the kids see
a puddle, they want to jump in it.
Go! Because there's a beauty in that.
You see water and it's just like, you just want
to jump in a puddle, watch a fucking splash out.
You're preaching to the choir.
Dude, messy fall
That's all I'm saying
I know you're getting on me
For having a coin terms
I'm not saying messy fall
I'm saying just in general
I think for all of the seasons
Like even in the winter
Even in the sum
In the spree
Yeah but the sum is tough
The sum is tough
No
Some is tough
Because yo get out there
And slip and slide
You can't get messy in the winter
Because the ground is fucking rock solid
Dude it's talking
It's making snow angels
Get snow in your boots
You don't get messy
It still counts
You get snow everywhere
Yeah but I don't consider snow everywhere
To be a mess because it cleans itself
It's a metaphor
I don't know if it's a metaphor
I don't think so but I'll like it
You know what I mean
Oh well see you see what happens
You rebalancing your emotional
Wellbeing crying
Crying
Brought out
What is going to be the movement that sweeps the nation
We are going to be at the forefront
We're going to be at the forefront
We're going to be at the
forefront of it we aren't we're not gonna be at the forefront it's very nice I like I
definitely want to jump in a puddle at some point this year that's going on my
bucket list I don't like how it ruins my shoes what water rain like jumping to a puddle
and let me tell you something but like you know he won't ruin them guess what
just throw them in the dry or guess what brother rough rough let the fucking dogies out
I'm talking Baja men I don't agree let the dogs out
You should.
I don't agree.
Because I think there's something fun about letting your shoes just get wet.
Let me ask you a serious question.
Me?
You guys spent a lot of time outdoors in the summer.
Yeah.
You live in New York City, so there's not many times that you get to do this.
When's the last time you were on grass, good grass, barefoot?
I do that a lot when I go to my mom's.
She has a little bit of grass.
Just go and let the doggies bark on the lawn.
Are you one of those people that don't let?
like they don't like their feet out
I'll have my feet out but I don't want to
ruin my shoes
leave your shoes
inside
this is not that complicated
you keep saying jump into mud and puddles
okay but do it
barefoot with mud and puddles
well you have shoes
certain shoes that are like oh these are beat up so I can just wear them
wherever these are my puddle jumping shoes
I mean they could be
that's literally called galoshes
you can literally buy galas

Galoshes
What's the Russian prison?

Galoshes are rain boots.
Oh.
I don't know if I have a...
You don't need them.
Yeah.
Go put your dogs in the fucking fucking earth.
That's what I'm talking about.
Release.

Yeah, that would have fell off a cliff, I will say.
Let, let your...
Don't try, don't try it.
You're already burning and crashed.
What are you gonna do?
You can't drive a car crash.
You can't drive a car crash if there's still a little bit of life left in it.
There isn't.
I'm still...
There isn't.
I'm just saying, like, just go and just step outside.
I know you, you don't have grass.
It's not that hard.
What?
That's what would rhyme with the yard.
I don't know.
I don't know what you're
Let's write
Why are we hyping on this song?
You know what?
You know what?
You and I
Let's write
the messy fall anthem.
Okay.
Natasha Bettingfield
This is getting out of it.
She will allow us
The creative freedom.
She will allow us the creative freedom
to write our own song
loosely based off of
unwritten.
But it's about
walking barefoot on grass
in the fall
when the soft grass is out still
and the dirt is soft.
Yeah.
Okay.
We do have sponsors for the show today.
I wonder who one of them is.
Yeah.
I wonder who it could be.
We have happy Thursday here, folks, okay?
Happy Thursday.
How are you doing?
Right here, right on the desk.
But they are bubble-free,
so they're non-carbonated,
spiked refreshers,
and they taste amazing.
Which one is this?
This is strawberry.
This one is delicious, actually.
that one, raspberry dragon fruit, and what's that one?
Pineapple star fruit.
Pineapple star fruit.
These are not, I mean, that is not a common flavor that you have anywhere.
So they have that.
They also have mango passion fruit.
Two things that if I see them in a drink, I am getting it, okay?
But they're smooth, they're easy, 4.4% alcohol, naturally flavored.
And like I said, non-carbonated, so they taste really good and they go down easy.
It's not going to make you all bloated or whatever, you know what I mean?
So no fuss, no fizz, delicious.
But to find out more and to find a happy Thursday near you,
visit drinkhappythursday.com slash basement.
That is drink happy Thursday.com slash basement.
Okay, celebrate responsibly, non-carbonated,
naturally flavored with other natural flavors.
21 plus contains alcohol.
So yeah, can't have it unless you're 21 plus
because these are alcoholic,
but they are delicious, non-carbonated, happy Thursdays.
So enjoy that.
And we also have BetterHelp, BetterHelp.
This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp, which is online therapy.
You can get in contact with the therapist in just under 48 hours.
So it's a quick turnaround.
They make the onboarding process very easy.
It's also very easy to switch from therapists to therapists until you find the right fit for you.
Someone who meshes with you that you vibe with, that's a very important part of therapy.
It can be very awkward if you kind of feel like this person doesn't understand you.
So it's very helpful.
But yeah, there's a lot of people that signed up with,
BetterHelp that have reached out and said that it's helped them. And the biggest thing about it,
in my opinion, is that they make it more affordable than in-person therapy, which is very
expensive, even with the right insurance. But even a lot of therapists don't take insurances. So it's
very expensive. But BetterHelp is more affordable. And you can save 10% off your first month at
betterhelp.com slash baseme yard. So that is BetterHelp, spell the B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P-L-E-L-E-R to get 10% off of

This name is Jacob Ullery.
Dude, that's awesome.
Yeah, it's great.
He's the one who always makes the, like...
The singing ones?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's incredible.
Yeah, he's the man.
That sounds like...
That sounds like something.
Magic is what it sounds like.
It does sound like magic.
So does that mean I have a theme song?
I guess technically, yeah.
We don't even have one.
What's the ant question?
I'm supposed to have a question.
Yeah.
Well, if we play...
You have an end question.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
If we play Ant question, you need to have an question.
I'm kidding.
I have it.
So it's a little more of a scenario, but let's say this.
You're in a pitch black field
40 meters away from a gunman.
Can we go American feet?
120.
120 feet away from a gunman.
And change.
And change.
He can't see you.
He can't hear you.
And he's going to fire a...
Well, it's got to be an American because he's got a gun.
That's fair.
He can't see you, and he's going to fire off one bullet at a time.
You get a million dollars for each bullet he shoots.
How many?
Just me and him out there?
Just me and you.
Can I lay down?
Me and you.
You're the gunman?
I guess it's a million.
No, yeah.
Can I lay down?
You could only stand.
You can't crouch or lay down.
Can I turn sideways?
No, you got to face him.
You got to face him head off.
Okay, fine.
You got to be face to face.
Yeah.
Can I, I have to be within, I have to be exactly 120 feet away from him.
You could get closer.
You could get closer, but just not further.
Why would I do that?
Well, it depends where he's standing.
Maybe I'll get behind him.
You can't see him either.
I imagine you've got to set up within like 180 degrees, straight line.
I mean, I'm letting them fire.
off a couple.
Really?
Wait, how much do you get per bullet?
A million.
I'd let him shoot one.
There's no way.
Do I have to stand in the exact same spot
every single time?
Let's say you can move around
after each round.
Or you could stay there.
Ooh.
Am I also not able to hear?
Because if he shoots in a direction,
I'd be like, I'm going to go stand over there now.
You can...
I mean, I don't think you're going to be able...
It's 120 feet.
Like, a shot's going to sound like a shot.
You're not going to hear it like whizz by.
It'd be like, oh, it was over there.
Yeah, that's fair.
If you heard it,
is by I think it's better to stay in that spot probably um it would be hard to well no I think
the rule of like if you I mean there's an unlimited amount unlimited there's an unlimited
amount of why the phase you don't know that because I don't know if you said uh limited or
unlimited is unlimited there's an unlimited amount of places that he could shoot but in theory
the second one it would be minus one so unlimited minus one well he could still
shoot in the same area he could still shoot the same area yeah but you are
banking on the possibility that like if I shoot here my next shot will not be
there again it'll be anywhere else yeah I mean yeah just so you know what I
just said contributed nothing yeah to any part of it you like doing that I
did a little bit I I I think I would
like if I can't see
I mean it's pitch black so you know
okay I think that if
I survived one shot and I felt like
that wasn't even near me it would be hard not to let one more
go I'm not going over three shots
well a million dollars tax free
sure you could have if I get shot and survive I get that mill
you get that mill oh you do yeah sure
and you could keep going I guess if it's not fatal if you really want
I imagine once you get shot once you're done
Yeah, I step my toe and I'll be down.
So I don't know.
Hmm.
I'd probably let one go.
Hmm.
I think I'll do the clip.
I don't know if I know how far 120 feet is.
Should we look it up, like a range?
No, no, no.
I'm saying, like, right now.
Like, how far is that wall?
I would say that's maybe like 25 feet.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's far.
Oh, how wide?
It's a field.
Let's say it's a football field.
He's in the center.
Oh, football field?
Let's say he's in the center.
He's at half field.
Why am I saying that?
Yeah, what?
Midfield.
Because I think that's close to 100 to 120 each side, right?
Football field is 120 yards.
Yeah, so.
Across?
Well, if you include the end zones.
No, no, no, no, no.
He means, it's like, I think it's 52 yards.
Yeah.
So he's got 26 yards on either side.
Oh, God.
I mean, that's pretty big, dude.
Definitely letting him shoot.
120 feet, so that's what?
That's what?
How many?
So he's on the 60-yard line?
regardless
it doesn't have to be on a football field
but like yes that range
helping me understand
I think I'm
I'd probably shoot twice
and be like okay I'm getting out of here
but like two
I think
I think
he would also have to get me in the face
for it to be like
and then like that's bad luck
There are other parts of your body
that if he shoots you
that you will die instantly
Not if we have EMS on site
Nope
It will get you
What's the stuff
You ever see movies where like they take
Like tampons
Oh, no, no, no.
It's like a black powder, and they should, like, shove it in there, and they, like, kind of hold it in.
And it's like, all right, get it, hold it.
And they're like, what's the word that coagulates it?
No.
I don't know what movies you're watching, Joey.
War movies.
You're talking about when they put gunpowder in it?
Does that help?
Corterizes it?
I would that?
No, that's like with hot.
Yeah, they light it on fire.
Is that what they're doing?
You're not supposed to do that, though.
Rambo did that once.
Well, yeah, if Rambo did it.
It's got to work.
It's got to work.
I think, because I'm not a gambling, man, especially with my life.
Right.
I think I'm letting two shots off.
Two million dollars.
That's gambling with your life.
I know, but like, that's, like, I would definitely do one.
Yeah.
I would definitely do one because it's just, that's a million dollars.
And the chances of me getting hit are so, very slim.
So slim.
I think after two, I would be like, I already have two.
Like, I'm good.
I don't need more than that.
I already know your answer.
It's going to be hot.
Yeah, he just said he's going to let the full clip go.
16?
16.
Is that how much?
A handgun is six.
I thought it was nine.
We don't know guns.
There you go.
I thought a clip was 16.
I mean,
if you're doing like a fucking dirty hairy,
it's like six shots.
Yeah,
I mean,
I would imagine we would go a standard like,
it doesn't matter how many shots it is.
Oh, no,
they can reload.
No, no, yeah,
but I'm just saying one clip.
What about like a $350?
Magnum.
Oh, that would do me.
That'd be it.
Yeah.
Any of the bullets would be it.
Yeah, but that's a big one.
Yeah, Joey.
Just empty the clip on me.
That's my answer.
Well, not on you.
I think that's the idea.
Yeah, it's fine.
It's a cool story, too.
Like, dude, he had nine bullets
couldn't get me once.
No, I said a cool story for.
The grave?
No.
The obit?
Yeah, you're going to tell God that when you're dead?
No, he'd probably make fun of me.
That's true.
God?
If I got up there, it's like this other.
I was going to say there might be some other reasons you might not even get to
talk to the corporeal form.
Wow.
It could be true.
I'm right there with you, bud.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I'll be up there.
You think so?
Haven't?
Yeah.
Bro, I went to church until eighth grade.
He knows me.
So did I.
Yeah, Joey.
There's things that happened while you were going to church that I think would have
disqualified you.
What did I do?
There were things that you did.
I'm going to hell?
Yeah.
Oh, you're talking about like premarital?
Sure.
That's what I don't have sex before eighth grade.
I didn't say then, Joey.
No, now he knows.
He knows that I'm doing it.
I'm saying now, you're doing sex, dude.
Yeah, that's bad.
You've done sex before.
He forgives that.
We're all doing it.
I mean, you have to apologize.
Sure, I'll say, Hail Mary.
Probably too.
Did you do your confession?
Or not confession.
What's that called?
Confirmation?
Yeah, I'm confirmed.
What's your confirmation name?
James.
And did you, like, when you, you go,
I don't know if that's communion or confirmation.
where you have to go and then it's like you do confession and they give you homework and they're like say 10 hell mary's or something like that that's confession yeah i know but i don't know which one that is a part of like have you done that yeah and what did they do you remember how many prayers you had to do i think i did two to all fathers and one hell marry which is such a funny thing there was one it's called the act of contrition no one knows it's a long one and i don't know it it's not one of the popular ones you know the our father probably our father who we we've established
that it's not who does art in heaven Halloween be thy name you know that's not I
know hallowed be thy name my kingdom come it's thy kingdom come thy kingdom come because you
don't have a kingdom I mean technically technically you have a house I have a home and a family
that's my kingdom okay okay so my kingdom come my will thy will be done I will be done yeah on earth
as it is in heaven yep give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us.
Yep.
Yeah.
And deliver us to temptation, but not from evil or something like that.
Why would we go to temptation?
Or remove us from temptation.
Deliver us from temptation.
Deliver us from temptation.
Wait, what is it?
Now you got me.
I honestly, I'm shocked I got here.
The only reason why you know this is probably because you were in my house, right?
No, you guys weren't doing a lot of hail mayor.
The only reason I know Catholic grace is because of you.
Well, yeah.
You know?
But how do you know our father then?
I went to Sunday school for a couple years.
Did you?
Yeah.
Not many
Were we in the same class?
We had to have been in the same class.
Yeah, not many.
I don't remember that.
You were the poster boy dude
A Sunday school, they were.
No, my Sunday school teacher hated.
No, they loved you.
She heard me say, fuck it, Alex's house.
Well, she was upset with you, but you apologized.
I didn't.
Why would I apologize?
You apologized?
Well, I didn't even know that she was talking about me.
I got to class and she was like,
some people in here have a potty mouth.
Yeah, Joey, people love
You were the poster child for Sunday school.
Frank, you weren't even there.
I was there for like two or three.
three years.
I hate it.
Two or three years.
I'm just letting you know.
Listen, church.
I know you're listening.
Now you're speaking directly to the church.
The Catholic church.
The Catholic?
Oh, any church.
Oh.
No, actually, it's the Catholic one that I'm speaking to.
I should probably not talk to them.
You're going to talk to all the other churches?
I probably shouldn't.
Why shouldn't you talk to them?
Well, it's, I don't, it's, I'm not qualified.
I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to insult anybody.
it feels like you're about to
please please stop
no
school on a Sunday morning is nuts
well the idea
I understand it's it's the Lord's Day
I understand
but everyone's going to church anyway
I understand who
the Lord's day
you gotta understand
you gotta know that that's
like you're you're setting
you're setting yourself off a failure
well Sunday 8 a.m.
be there
what time was Sunday school
it was like 10 to like 12
yeah yeah but I would
much rather be in Sunday school than church back then. I was like, church sucks. Couldn't do
it. Couldn't do it. Why were we talking about? I don't know. We're on Catholicism. How did we get
to Catholicism from a shooting a gun into a room at us?
Something about God. You were meeting your maker and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. No, I wouldn't
be or something. But you would let us in. You would give us, you would put a good word in for it.
Oh, you'd be like, you'd be like the promoters at like the team clubs. I would be like,
oh, he's with me. The email. Say my promo code at the door.
Say promo code Joe Spotlight.
Joe Spotlight.
Spotlight Entertainment, Joe.
Yeah.
I would probably let off two shots.
Get that two mil and then I'm out of there.
Yeah.
We should film this video, though, with like a paintball gun.
Okay.
Well, none of us have a gun.
But I think we should film that video.
I think that'd be cool.
What would we use?
I haven't been shot with a paintball gun.
Yeah, I haven't been shot with a paintball gun.
while. A BB gun. A BB gun? A BB gun. I haven't even like seen it BB gun.
Since like 2000. I've seen BB guns. So where? We would all be in a pitch black.
Well, it's not going to be pitch black. You know what we should get? We should get the
We should get the orbies guns. What is that? Oh, I know what orbies are, but like,
they're, they look like. But they hurt? Guns to hurt. You want it to hurt? Yeah. Oh,
all right. And then I guess we'll do paintball. This is scary. You need some fear.
This is, you need some fear?
I mean, you're going to wear a helmet, a face mask and shit.
Yeah.
And cover your little polinos.
Don't talk about my polinos.
Okay.
What is the, but if it's a, see, here's the thing.
If it's a real gun, that's different than a paintball gun.
Bro, if it's a paintball gun, you can shoot me in the fucking face.
Yeah, okay.
So we'll do, each shot is $100.
like whatever
I'm not leaving that room
brother
Okay but if you if you get shot
Like if you're like oh
Like you three shots
And now you're like I have 300 bucks
Like I'm chilling
But if you eventually get shot
Before you cash out
Then you owe the gunman that money
Oh
So wait wait wait wait
Hold on hold on
So let's say I get
I'm in the room
And someone lets off six shots
600 bucks
On the seventh shot
If I get hit I owe them
700 bucks
Yeah
I'm not doing that
well this is the dilemma
I'm not doing that
ever like nothing
you were about to
sacrifice your life for two shots
for two million dollars
yeah
I guess so
but I don't want to pay someone
pay me
yeah
I mean that's why you gotta be strategic
I'll get a thousand
get out of there
how do I tap out
just tap out
tap tap tap out
yeah you're just like I'm done
I'm done
if it's a paintball
if it's paintballs
I'm staying in that room
for a while
I think if you get shot in the face
that's double
who's shooting
I think that whoever wants to shoot
I'm a good shot
although I'll be blindfold
It doesn't matter
I don't know
I'll do it
You do what
Whichever
I think we should do this video
I think that would be cool
Okay we can set it up
Yeah
This is gonna be hysterical
Because who are you gonna get in that room
We should just do a metal baby
I feel like that's worse
Yeah exactly
You gotta be careful with metal BB
They can get like lodged and shit
You're a little massacist.
You want to be scared.
He likes to, he has to turn it up.
Yeah.
He has to, he has to, he has to bring it to the end up.
How about we chain up our wrists and then slap some duct tape on our tits?
What if we use an actual gun?
Yeah.
That's what I can see, saying.
Oh, that's too much.
What if we do is shirtless?
Yeah.
That's what you would say. Yeah. That's what you would say.
And then you would say, like, the loser has to eat this fire cheeseball.
Or we tape those squeaky chickens to your feet and you have to run around.
That'd be funny.
Oh, no, no, so they're going to hear it.
They have to hold it in their mouth.
They have to hold it in their house
or if they get hit
and they're
I meant Morrisson.
I'm not kidding.
What is happening?
That's the worst
contribution I've ever had to this show
ever.
Are you talking about like the
like the
yellow chicken?
Yeah.
If you tape them to your feet
and when they run around
the gunmen can hear them
and then they stop
is like
why would you run?
Yeah, why would you move at all?
Let's say you have to move every time.
That would make it too easy.
Yeah, that would make it too easy for the gunmen.
Too easy.
It's blindfolded.
Yeah, but if you hear a general direction of where they are.
But there's six of them.
Then you're...
Six one, what?
Someone's getting hit.
There's six of us in there.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not doing this.
All, fine.
We'll workshop it, but we'll do it.
I think...
I'll figure it out.
Realistically, if we were to do something like that,
like paintball in a room or something like that,
10 shots.
That's what you said.
Thousand hours.
I think I'm sticking around for 10.
might get a clap though
yeah
where does the money come from also the gunman
yeah
maybe Joe just shoots
maybe I just shoot
yeah but I might get paid
oh I have to pay the people
like if I'm the gunman like it's like I owe you
if they get out yeah
oh then why
I mean you don't have to be the gunman
he's setting himself up to be the gunman
and we just pay him
it's just a video we're just paying him
He just wants to shoot us.
No.
I just take it off.
Idiots.
What I said he went paintballing?
Like right after high school.
And it was a lot of fun.
I love paintball so much.
I like it too.
Didn't we just have the conversation about me?
Oh, we were in like somewhere talking about it.
There's this place out in Long Island that has like a fucking plane.
Yeah, that's just sick.
Yeah, that would be fucking that would be really, really cool.
I was really good at paintball.
Here we go.
I'm no, no, no, I'm serious.
I was really, really good.
There was that paintball place in Long Island City, the indoor one, the speedball one.
Yeah.
And like, I would go often with my brothers.
And like, because it was like, if you only showed up with like two or three kids, they'd just put you with another party.
And we got put with a group of like, like, semi-pro players.
And then you killed all of them.
No, no, no, no, no.
And then you went to the White House and you like, you just built a monument of you in front of the whole thing and put your picture on the wall.
And you were only eight years old and everyone else was like 32.
Who?
Paintball legend was sitting way here.
You see what I got to put up with.
You see, I can't even tell a story without him fucking jumping down my throat.
I used to go to the big game, they called it, and it was at Deer Park, and there was helicopters and tanks.
And it was like 100 v. 100.
The big game?
You want to hear a story.
This is a good one.
Okay.
We went once at the lake.
We went, we did like the kids versus the parents.
We were like 12 at the time, and it was like me, my brothers, the Espo's, Pat, and we played like six.
So it was literally like, I think it was like eight on seven or something like that, but like there were two girls at the lake.
I don't want to say who they are if they don't want to give them away, but like you know who they are.
Okay.
Of an Irish family.
Yep.
Yep.
I couldn't stand them at the time.
Irish people playing paintball is a dangerous game because they bruise like peaches.
Dude, I couldn't stand them at the time
Not both of them, one of them, I couldn't stand at the time
Because she was just annoying and mean and rude
So I said that day, a 12 year old
I said I was like, yo, if this person is on the other team
Like, I'm going to shoot them
Like I'm going to get them
Well, that's the, I know, but like
It was like I'm going to go out of my way
To find this person and I didn't
And we played like five games
And on the last game
They were just like, all right, how many balls?
You guys had like 20,
minutes left to just play until you're done
but if you run out of bullets
put your hands in the air with your gun
and just say I'm out and let them like walk across
I feel like I know where this is going I'm
behind a fucking log or a bunker
or something and I see
them walking by with
it was the two of them and then one of our
friends moms
and I see them walking by
and I look at my buddy Brian and I go
now or never
and I
fucking
big baby
Were they out of ammo?
Yeah, they were out, yeah.
What a fucking piece of that?
I was, but shot an innocent civilian.
Technically, that's what's happened.
This person's dad was on the other team also and found out.
He ran up to me.
He got as close as you could get,
and he shot me right on the inner thigh.
Hell yeah.
Like, I don't bruise or wealth very easily.
That was like the worst of the worst that I've ever gotten in my entire life.
It just missed my polinov.
Did he say something cool?
Fuck you, probably.
I'm back.
Bang!
Something like that.
Big mistake.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your toast.
Your toast. Your toast is a good one.
That's a, I don't even know what to.
Here's Daddy.
I, no.
That feels, you're making it like a different kind of video.
No, no.
Here's daddy.
Here's this welt on your thigh.
Jesus, take it easy.
You did that.
You just did that.

and before we uh uh end here i i do want to talk about something uh you actually brought up before
this and that is that there's been stories that people uh they found that there's like alien
dna and people that have claimed to be abducted does that i mean and this is like you've heard the
stories that people get abducted and then they get probed and you know for whatever reason we don't
know if it's for sport or if it's for research purposes i have no idea i mean but that's a common
thing it's like one of the well-known things about like alien abductions is like they're probing
yeah which for those of you guys that don't know what that is it most of the time it's sticking
things anally yeah yeah yeah but finding DNA what is that i mean that's good
I know.
Come on.
There's traces of, what is that?
What is that?
How do you know it's alien DNA?
I guess it's like, I guess it's just like they can't, they can't tell.
I mean, DNA is, you can tell if it's like from an animal, a human or something.
So like, if they're just like, what is his DNA?
This person was abducted, the animal, the alien is.
It feels like something happens.
It seems like something is going on.
I would, I mean, we actually spoke to someone on OPL that claimed to have been abducted.
And the way that they talked about it, I found to be a little fascinating, actually, because it's, they were like, it feels so real to me.
But in a logical mind, you're kind of like, that couldn't have happened, but it feels so real to them.
Here's the thing.
I have had, not recently, but like in my lifetime, I have had dreams where I've been like, whoa, like that felt real.
But when you wake up, you're like, that was a dream.
Or was it?
You know, like, I've had that happen now?
I have, yeah, I've had, I've had that happen.
Like, you're still unsure, I mean?
No, I know it was a dream now, but, like, with the benefit of hindsight now, like, of course, there wasn't a face in my wall looking at me and laughing while spitting a blue ooze.
But, like...
That was it?
Yeah, man, that episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark fucked me up.
You were a child.
I was a child, yeah.
And I had it as a adult.
But what I'm saying, though, is that, like, it takes me a couple minutes, but, like, I could imagine that there are people that have had dreams that have been so intense.
to the point where it's like
they can't make the distinction whatsoever.
Yeah.
I mean,
that happens to me sometimes,
but I think that's just me being like paranoid.
Like sometimes I'll have a dream of like,
this is a stupid example.
I can't think of an example of the top of my head.
But if I had a dream that like my leg got cut off
or something, right?
I would sometimes I wake up and I like,
just check my legs.
You know, even though I wake up and I'm in my bed,
I'm like, obviously that was not real.
But I check.
But like, but you got demons, right?
I have demons
Like sleep paralysis
Demons
I don't have that
That's not my experience
With sleep paralysis
I do have that
There are people that have
It's a well documented phenomena
That like people experience
Sleep Paralysis
Is that happen to you?
No thank God
You get sleep paralysis?
I've never I have
I consider myself quite lucky
And I'm gonna knock on
As much wood as I can
I have never experienced sleep paralysis
And I consider myself very lucky
It's happened to me three times
You have but do you have like
A figure that you see?
Yeah it was an old woman
Oh oh fuck that
Yeah, I get, I get, wait, hold on, you were, so, walk me.
I was laying down on my back, and I was just like, my eyes opened, but I couldn't move.
Right.
And then, like, this old woman was just, like, floating right here on top of me.
And then, like.
What she looked like?
And she was, it was very scary.
And I couldn't.
Yeah, it makes sense.
And I couldn't move.
So, like, slowly, I was just like, uh, bitch.
You used all the strength to call her abyss?
The only thing I could get out is the only thing that you could think of
as this old sleep woman demon is hovering over you
is to insult her.
Yeah.
Was she flying or she was kind of leaning over it.
I don't, that part I don't know, but it felt like she was floating.
Did she look like, did you watch the, the, what movies are those?
Not the conjuring, the other ones, the insidious.
Insidious movie.
She looked like that woman.
Valic, I think, is the name of that.
No, no, she was old, like older.
Valic's like a nun thing.
She was just like an old, scary woman.
Oh, my God.
And I just, like, the only thing I could get out was like, bitch.
What does it feel like when you come out of that?
Because that's not my experience with it.
You, like, finally, it doesn't, it's not all at once.
Like, I can move my arm.
And then, like, as soon as you can get one body part out, like, everything comes out.
Like, everything comes out. Your brain turns on.
Got it.
That's crazy.
For me, I, I never see anything.
But it feels like I'm awake, but my eyes aren't open.
Like, I can't see my room.
But my mind is awake and I can't see anything because my eyes are closed and I can't move.
So then I start panicking and I feel like I can't breathe.
So I'm trying to like regulate my breathing.
And then I'm trying to like move my leg like so hard.
And it feels like I'm moving it like a tiny bit.
And then eventually when I come out of it, I come out of it all at once.
I'm like, oh, God, thank you.
I consider like I said, I consider myself very lucky that I never experienced that.
I have during my life experienced two things.
One more frequently.
this is going to make sense to nobody
and it's so stupid sounding but like
it's a very weird one
is like I feel like I'm
this happened to me like a couple days ago
I feel like I'm moving at the speed of light
like I feel
I'm not kidding in your sleep
like as I'm laying there like if I like
blank or roll over or something
it feels like it's happening
at literal
superhuman speed
like super speed
super speed like you rolling over
like whether I like if
If I were to like do this or like blank or roll over or something, I'm not.
It's like you're just, it feels like to me like it is happening like the flash.
What the hell?
Very weird.
The other one, which is so weird.
And I remember I used to get this as a kid and it like very randomly happens.
This is going to make no sense.
But it's called the sharp rounds.
I call it, it's not called that.
I call it the sharp rounds.
I was just about to ask it.
It's not called that.
I call it the sharp rounds.
We're like, there's this feeling, and I can't, it's not like I'm touching anything, I'm not moving, it's just this feeling of like things around but sharp at the same time.
And like, if I were to like rub my hand around like a pillow, it's a rounded pillow, but it feels like it's cutting my hand.
It's so weird.
But this is happening in your dreams?
In my sleep as I'm trying to fall asleep.
I'm very, I consider myself very lucky.
I fall asleep very easily
The sharp rounds
And I remember as a kid
And like very
Very randomly rarely happens
I don't know the rhyme or reason
When's the last time you had the sharp rounds
Within the last like month
And and
But like before that years
But is that like in a dream
You're walking around and touching stuff?
No no no no like
I am I know I'm actively trying to like
You know like
You have to like pretend you're sleeping
In order to fall asleep
Like you're like in twilight
Yeah yeah yeah
And like there's just
this feeling of just like there's round things like your pillow whether it be the pillow or just
like I can feel that there's something over there that's round but sharp it's it sounds so crazy
so you don't actually have to touch it no but like then I think about touching it and I'm like
that's a sharp round hence the name it's so weird what I was thinking was maybe like you don't
realize that your hands asleep and you're touching something but like it's also it is but isn't a
tactile thing like I can imagine touching something and it and it is that but then I could also
just think about it you never looked up this i've never looked i've never i've also never shared
this with anyone outside of becca before oh i had to sharp rounds last night i feel honored
thank you well and now all of the well that's that's interesting i don't know if i have
anything like that when i when i do have sleep paralysis though and i get out of it my body is so
tired it's almost like what i imagine anesthesia's like where i'm so tired and i know that once i
fall back asleep, it's going to happen again.
So I wake up and then I like can feel myself like, and I'm like, I just, it's going to
happen again.
I have to fall back asleep and I get it again.
I'm going to tell you some.
Not with anesthesia is like, literally anesthesia is just like, like, it's the blink
of an eye.
Well, I just imagine like, you know, like the feeling of like you're getting tired and
you're going.
No.
That's what it feels like.
At least my experience with anesthesia was not like, oh, I'm getting sleep here.
I'm getting sleep here.
It's literally like here, there, there.
Like, it's.
And I know everyone's.
Is different.
Let me make that very clear.
But it was like, I hate that because I know it's going to happen again.
I had another one where I was facing the wall and just like this shadow was coming up the wall very slowly.
And I was like, it just didn't feel right.
You watched a lot of goosebumps.
I watch a lot.
I'm a big horror guy.
I love horror.
But that one I came out of like, oh, no.
Like that one, I was like, oh, that one was bad.
Like that actually, like I had to get out of that one like now.
You know what happens to me a lot because I'm blind?
I have to take my contacts out and then I go to the bathroom and sometimes I'll walk out into my room.
and certain things look like other shit
like it looks like a person standing there
if it's like a plant or like a jacket hanging or whatever
and like it sometimes it like really freaks me out
like I'm like oh jay
and like it just gets me because I'm just seeing like shapes
like it's dark I can't see like
but what do you think would be there
I don't know like sometimes it looks like someone
bending over like grabbing something
or like yeah
it's different when you have like you guys
well you're in a house
You're in an apartment, but, like, you have one way in and out of your apartment.
I have...
I'm not thinking about that, though.
Oh, I am.
In the middle of the night.
Well, once you have a house, you will because you have front door, backdoor, window.
Well, then that's when I'll, like, probably be like, oh, this really could be so long.
That's when you get, simply safe.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
But, yeah, all this stemming from the possibility that aliens are coming in people.
Yeah, that's a tough one.
That's insane.
I would, like, now that that information came out,
I'm not telling anyone I got abducted I mean well people were saying when they get abducted that they do get probed they're like it was a real thing and the guy that we had talked to on other people's lives said that he vividly remembers being like on a ship like a door opening up and him being and like seeing people around can I ask you a serious question if you could opt into being abducted probing is in there you're going to have to yeah are you doing it
No.
Do they give me a goody bag?
Like, here's some merch on your way out.
Come in your butt.
Yeah.
Here's some alien cream pie.
Yeah.
No.
That's the fucking goody bag is you get cream pieed by an alien.
It would be interesting to know that it's like a real thing.
I pulled up the article.
Like getting beamed up.
I would like, I would like to not beamed up.
What?
If I would like, if I were to be abducted,
I would like the technology to be.
kind of close enough to what we have here on earth
because if I got beamed out
I'd be like yo that was so cool I need to have that happen again
like I'd like it just be like they guide me onto a ship
you'd be begging for another deduction I'd be like yo beam me daddy
you broke me again
what's the say in the article um
I don't know how true any of this is but so
this person Dr. Max Rempel
just went to the people who claimed who got abducted
uh sampled their DNA and out of that
at least 11 families had large chunks of DNA
that didn't belong to either parent or their immediate family
when they came back from the adoption.
See, this is interesting.
It's possible, man. It's possible.
Do you think that eventually that means that they can,
like, their child will have more of that DNA?
Ooh, that would be cool.
And now eventually we'll all be aliens, but we're all aliens.
We're all aliens.
It's like sleeper cells.
You remember that?
The idea that like they can like maybe like activate it.
Like, what movie was that?
Gardens of the Galaxy Volume 2.
We're like ego.
goes and like puts his seed in different planets
and then he can just be like got it and they fucking start
like what if the aliens are doing that
so then when the time comes they just be like
yo by the way we've been inseminating
for a lack of better terms
people on your planet for the last
500 years and it's DNA
that follows down
maybe so like there's like they can
activate like a sleeper cell
alien supporters
or maybe they're just like
you know the sailors
of the intergalactic world
and they're just stopping at fucking
any port and banging a fish
yeah yeah like they're just like stopping at like
wait what what what did you say
and like you said banging a fish and like banging a fish
no you never heard the thing about like port and a storm baby
like sailors they back in the day
they would show up to places and like
they would have sex with women because they're leaving
ever heard the song brandy by looking glass
oh I thought you're saying we were the fish
no one is having sex with fish
why are you bringing a fish because you said sailor
yeah I thought to the alien
coming in our butts we were the fish all right no one's a fish and also let's talking about human
beings let's like a sailor so the the idea is like a sailor back in the day would get to like new york
for instance and they would go out to the bars and stuff and and they would hook up with girls
but then they just leave but they wouldn't use protection it's like i'm never going to see this woman again
because it was back in the day so we're the girls we are the girls we are the girls and they would
show up brandy brandy you're a fine girl what a good wife you would be but my life my love and my lady is
the sea they gotta get out of there maybe you know like so they they're just showing up
me like ah you know we'll probe a couple of these bastards and get the hell out of here they'll
never see us or what if it's like that's kind of funny to what if it's like the equivalent of like
fucking like people on like stag parties you know we're like they're just like oh we're gonna
go for like we're going to Vegas for stag party and it's like the aliens just like yo we're
going to earth for bachelor party what's a stag party i don't know i've heard of it don't care
Bachelor party is what I meant
Yeah, I don't know
But you know what I mean?
Like we're going for
King Cyan's
Bachelor party
We're going to Earth
Wait till you see what they got down there
And they show up and they landed like
Alabama
Yeah
And it's just a racist old white man
I mean it's such a crazy thing man
And I honestly sympathize with those people
Because imagine something like that happening
And feeling like
No one's believing that this happened
Like that would be so tough
That's something that, like, you know is real, and you're like, I know that it's unusual, but I know it's real.
That would be very isolating, and I, and I, and I, in that, in that regard, I am sympathetic to people that that has happened to because I can imagine the feeling of isolation and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, what if the, you're just like, yo, we picked up.
They're going to get you.
They're gonna get you
If they're fucking
If they're going for anybody
They want you, Joey
I don't know about that
You think so?
I don't know
Tell me more
About what?
Me
You're probable
That's not what I wanted
That is what he wanted
I don't want it
I didn't want that
If Alien would choose anybody to probe
I think they choose you
Why?
You're very desirable
To probe
Well see
To probe
Why though
Where do you think you rank
At a
us three to probe just in out of ten i think i'm probable but what level is probable because
technically all of them are probable a technicality technical frank technical frank um seven and a half
out of ten six and a half nine and a half nine dude that's nine and a half that's like you're
begging for the probe seven and a half and you're please probe me dad yeah um i think i think it'd be
No, I'm not probable.
I'm a four.
Oh, you're way higher than a four.
I really wonder, have you guys ever seen
like a UFO or something like that?
Oh.
I don't think so.
Becca, like, recently, like,
look through, like, an old video
and she's like, there's a UFO in the back.
Well, how old was the video?
Four years ago.
Oh, that's not that.
I thought it meant, like, an old video.
I'm like, oh, maybe it was a camera or something.
You guys had a UFO problem, right, or something?
What?
The drones last year.
The drones, yeah.
It feels like that was decades ago, dude.
That does.
Remember everyone was freaking out because of the drones?
I do, yeah.
I mean, that was an interesting thing.
Bro, I also one night was laughing so hard because there were people saying that there was a, bro, and maybe this is true, but it's just funny to, like, I don't know, someone's like, there's a mothership off the coast of New Jersey.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the drones are coming from the mothership.
Yeah.
And I was laughing so hard at that.
one at that like
if you're just speculating that
to me that's hysterical
and if that's real
even funny
even funny because it's like
we are fuck
mothership yeah yeah yeah
mothership it is it is kind of like
mothership that's my approach
with all these like scary things is like
I have to find something to laugh at
about them because if not I will be terrified
and I will crumble you imagine like yo
there's a ship the size of Puerto Rico
like who cares
imagine like in the past
Yeah, bro, I think about that a lot.
I do too.
Whenever I see clouds that like look like a line, I'm like, imagine the coming out.
I do that anytime I go over like a bridge.
I like look out in the horizon and like imagine I see something just like coming over the horizon and I'm just like a big monster or a ship.
Either or.
Yeah, yeah.
I like to imagine.
I would like to imagine nothing.
I do imagine a lot.
I do too, but I would like not to.
Okay.
Well, that's the paranoia
That's against me
It's a vicious circle
If you're the one that saw it
It'd be very unfortunate
That it's like
Oh, this had to happen here
Like why is it so close
Like I would much rather see it on TV somewhere else
I would like to think
That I'd be able to drive away from it
That ain't happening
Did you hear what I said?
You would like to think
Like to think
Is that the keyword there
You would need everyone else to drive away
Traffic, you get stuck by in a car
Now you have to run
I don't think you can out run it
I will say
I think that the idea
of like
you know like Godzilla
like there's something very deep in the water
that's like a big monster or whatever
I kind of enjoy it
you lose Frankie
you lose Frankie
what about if it was like a giant squid
but it was fucking mass
you lose me
I'm not contributing to this conversation
that would be so cool
that is I'm not kidding
I am not I really don't think
I'm like afraid of much
like actual stuff
like actual stuff
you're afraid of a
What? No, like actual things. Like, I'm not afraid of, like, snakes or bugs or, you know, like, it's theories that I'm afraid of.
You can do that all day. Yeah, but that, the ocean, like the idea, like, we saw those videos.
A giant squid. Where it's just, like, a giant something under the ocean.
That wouldn't really scare me that much because, like, I'm not going out on the open ocean anyway.
You fly over it. Yeah, it's a squid.
I mean, what if it's a big one?
Dude, if a Cracken, let's say,
can, is so big it could reach a plane,
it's over anyway.
Yeah, I mean, they're not going to pull it out of the sky.
They might.
Something that big also is kind of like,
they probably can't even see the,
what are we doing?
I'm like the thing so big
I probably can't even see the plane.
Oh, man, it will never get the Delta flight.
I will say,
I'm not trying to shit all over a spirit
because they've had a rough go
but those are bright yellow planes
the Cracken would see those
they would see the bright yellow ones
Alright we gotta stop talking about planes
We're about to start flying soon
I think we're safe from the Cracken
I think it's more likely maybe it'll throw a boat
What about a Megalodon
That's cool
Big fucking shark
That's big shark
Listen when it comes to stuff under the water
Because guess what?
You look out, you see the ocean.
You don't see underneath.
But you don't have to go in.
You're protected by the land.
Yeah, but why does that bother you?
Because what if it could like walk, like Cloverfield Monster?
A shark?
Or a Cloverfield Monster.
Oh, yeah, that's not good.
I mean, we shoot some rockets at it or something.
And then what?
What happened to the Cloverfield Monster?
I don't remember how that movie ended.
It wasn't great.
I can spoil it.
That movie's incredible.
You can spoil it.
It was a hundred years old.
I'm saying how it ended.
I'm 17.
It wasn't great for that thing.
Did they kill it?
That feels like not a yes or no?
There's a little stinger at the end where there's a little voice now.
It goes, it's still alive.
Oh, okay.
I love Cloverfield so much.
Don't even get me started on my Cloverfield love.
I know, you loved that thing.
I love Cloverfield.
And then all the adjacent stuff, most of the adjacent stuff.
Cloverfield Paradox, big disappointment.
Ten Cloverfield Lane.
Was that John Goodman?
Yeah.
That was a good one.
That's a goodie.
Yeah.
Ooh, I would like a bunker one day.
That'd be fun.
I mean you're your big billionaire Joe
You'll have one
I think you get invited to one
I don't think you need to make one
Yeah they don't want you don't need to make it
They'll just be like oh yeah yeah
