Welcome back to the basement.
Welcome back to the basement yard.
There he is.
There I am.
What are you doing?
Do I do this?
Is this the cool thing?
What is that hat?
The new era logo.
You got a hat of a hat company?
Yeah.
Yes, I did.
Team hat.
I mean, to be honest, it was free.
They sent it to me.
But I do like it.
It's like a British one.
I thought it was like New England for a second.
It's like a British thing.
Because the British...
What's British?
The hat?
I'm not even really that quite sure.
Shetland.
What's that?
Was that a curse?
It sounded like a slur.
It sounds like.
For someone Scottish?
Oh, where you from?
Shetland?
Yeah.
You fucking crock.
I don't know.
I'm still learning.
And then it says moon.
So this could be from many places.
Yeah.
But it does say woven in England.
So that's cool.
I like it.
It's gold.
Don't look at me.
I'm not asking you about your hat.
I know what it is.
I didn't see.
say anything i didn't say anything how many can i ask how many yankee hats in different colors do you
have for what are the colors so brown brown brown black blue and i have a beige one wow that's a good
that's i mean just commit now and make the only hat that you wear i mean it's it's it's a it's i think
the best hat i agree and you're from there so you you know you got to take advantage when you can
i remember when uh uh remember the song empire state of mind j z alicia alicia
Kees. Why did you say her name like that? Alicia Keys? Alicia. Alicia. Okay. Sorry,
the word police are out today. Alicia. That's where the syntax grammar police are out today.
I forgot about that. But in the song, he says, like, I made a Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can.
Yeah. When that song came out. First of all, that song came out when the Yankees won the World Series.
Impeckable timing. Do you think that's true? No. And when that song came out as a
a 17 year old I would actively during that part of the song I'd say like no you didn't you
would do that he would boycott and probably just be like I made a yeah well like come back in
like change the lyrics up myself yeah you know I just I don't agree with that I think that
there was decades of Yankees greats before maybe he did bring it to like hip hop and like the
culture of wearing I don't know what how did he have that hat on the cover of
an album? Was that? Like, is that a Yankee hat or is it just the black album? Yeah.
Isn't that an all black hat? I don't think that he's worn a hat that is in the Yankee
head. So it could be back then. I mean, I would hope that he commits. I know that he's like the black
albums like him. It's probably a Yankee hat. I don't remember. I don't remember. It's a great album.
That was the last album from Jay Z that I had. The black album? Yeah. It's a good one.
Oh, wait. Was the blueprint after that? The blueprint three. Yeah, I can't remember the
remember dates of albums, Joey. I can't my, you are. Me and dates are so, we're bad.
We're bad. I can't have dates.
You're our rap correspondent.
I can't.
You need to know this.
I don't know dates.
I don't know anything.
So, oh, we're all wearing hats today.
This is a big hat day.
Big hat day.
We know your hat.
You don't need to fucking tell us about it.
Just keep bringing up your hat, dude.
Yeah, we get it.
Enough with your hat.
We get that.
We get it and stop talking about it into the microphone so loudly.
All you like to do is just keep it going.
Talk about your hats.
Take the hint, baby.
By the way, the other day I realized on my Wikipedia,
it says that I am featured in Santa Gata Studios and the Picky Boys.
Did you do that?
No, I did because literally in my Wikipedia, it says that I'm featured in the Picky Boys.
Oh, that's so funny that you bring that up.
First of all, good.
I mean, you know, give him a little something.
I didn't give him anything.
I was wondering if he was like, I slipped to say.
Oh, well, I mean, he definitely, if it's you, if it's you, if it's you that's doing this,
Fuck you because someone sent me a screenshot of like what's the Google AI assistant Gemini? Yeah
Yeah, and it was like the jeb you know how you like Google a question and it'll be like Gemini gave you an auto
Yeah answer it was like Frank Alphersus openly spoke about the fact that he's four foot 10
See now AI is coming back around it's coming back around fucking fucking you because no it's fucking me
Yeah you did a couple you did too many jokes no the jokes were on you so AI listen
Hear me out he's 410
you've seen the pictures of him
look at you
that's 410
unfortunately AI is never wrong
right
all right
no I don't
let's not open that can of work
but yeah
so are you controlling our Wikipedia pages
I didn't even know
I wanted to learn how to do that
for my own reasons
and I couldn't figure it out
I think you can just go and
you can create an account
but I know that one specifically
like I made the mistake
of posting about it
because you could
could go in and like change things yeah at like to a regular page like whatever not that
i'm ill right ill regular come on now irregular um but i made a video because someone put like you know
how you have a picture and you under it you like describe it yeah it says joe sanagado is four
or like five foot two or some shit like that so i'm so i made a ticot and i was like who did this
and then people kept going in and making it shorter and shorter yeah so then Wikipedia locks it and
they're like, you know, clearly there's a lot of traffic going to this thing.
So they lock it.
So now it says, I'm featured in the piggy boys and I can't change it.
So we're just stuck with that?
Yeah, that happens a lot with like athletes.
Like if someone will like, you know, if fucking Terrell Suggs, like, sacks,
Dak Prescott a ton.
I know different times.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know there are different times.
15 years.
Not in the league.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I'm just saying like they'll put like, you know, Dak Prescott.
mother's name this father's name
Terell Sugg. Yeah, yeah. They're like
they do shit like that. So I could see why they have to lock it
at a certain point. I just noticed that the other day I was laughing
though. By the way, Spotify Raps just dropped
and you posted on your story
that your listening age, which my listening age was 25.
I don't know if I should be happy about that, but it is what it is.
Yours is 83? Yeah, that's very, very high, brother.
What are you listening to? The storming of Normandy?
What are you listening to?
Glenn Miller Band.
I haven't seen someone with a higher age.
I'm really embarrassed.
Yeah, no, and I think about it.
I mean, how much higher could you get that's available on music?
I don't know.
You're just listening to the Johnny Carson show on Spotify?
Actually, probably younger.
Johnny Carson was popular in the 70s, so.
It's a lot of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.
So then I get that.
Because I listen to that a lot of Dean Martin?
Yeah.
What are you doing over there?
What was it?
Just chilling.
With like a cigar and a smoking jacket?
It's the best time to do.
do it, isn't it? That used to honestly, that used to be my playlist when I would write papers in
college and grad school is it was all Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Because there's something about
their voice is just like, get it on the paper. You know, by anyone following me? They're like
sexually getting you to write? Get it on the paper. Sexually is not what I said at all. Get it on the
paper, Frank. And we'll rub your back for you. No, no, no one. Dean Martin had his hands far
You're like, oh, Frankie, blue eyes.
You're writing your paper.
No, I used to sit there with a, I remember my mom when I was in grad school, I was 21.
Let's make that abundantly clear.
Who cares?
Not me.
What did that have to?
My mom got me a crate, literally a crate of two buck chuck.
Do you guys remember two buck chuck?
No.
A crate of two bucks chuck.
It sounds like Crash Banachoo.
What is that?
Basically.
It was the like award-winning wine from Trader Joe.
but they were two dollars.
It was like,
this wine won all the awards at the wine party.
Yeah.
And there were $2 a bottle.
So my mom got me like a crate for like $80.
And I would sit there.
Literally is that 40 bottles?
Yeah.
And I would sit there.
How would that ever be necessary?
I was probably having a bit of a problem at the time.
Yes, Anne.
How long did it take it to get through that crate?
A semester.
Oh.
That's not that bad.
I mean, when you're...
Yes, it is.
No, it's not, when you're 22 years old and in prime drinking time, that's the amount of...
40 bottles of wine in four months?
Four months?
Four months?
Six months. He didn't go to college.
He did, but he went to big dick college.
That's where he went.
Did you?
I did a...
No.
I don't think that's that bad.
The last week in August is when it started.
And the second week in December is when it finished.
So four months.
I mean, you could go through four bottles in a weekend as a young Frankie.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, I was, when I was...
Every weekend, though?
No.
No, but some weekends are, some weeks, it's like casually with writing a paper.
Some, it's like three, four bottles in a weekend.
Like, it all fucking six, sevens out.
Wow.
Were you just the wine guy then?
I was not.
You drank a wine for the whole semester.
I was not.
I did drink, like, you know, like Natty Lights and Bush Lights and, yeah.
You know, Milwaukee's best.
Old Mill Hockey
Yeah, I didn't have like high taste
But I would
The point I was getting at
Is I'd open up a bottle of two buck chuck
Yeah
I'd throw on some Frank Sinatra
You know
Isles of Capri
You know what I'm saying
Summer wind
Yeah
I like this kind of music
In like the Christmas time
Kind of like that's when it feels
Like it definitely in the winter
But in the summer is crazy
I'm in the summer babe
Frank Sinatra in the summer to me is bananas
But it's kind of
Kind of like flowy Bossanova shirt open, drinking your hand, like...
What's Bossanova?
It's like a style of music.
I don't know what it is, right?
What was it?
Boston Nova.
Oh, Boston Nova?
No, Bossa Nova.
Yeah.
Is that just cool?
Yeah, I don't...
I didn't make it.
Let's make that very clear.
What does it mean?
I didn't name it, but there's something like kind of like hanging at the beach.
I guess.
I mean, I just don't picture it in that way.
I picture it in, like, a, you know, pajamas around the fire and it's cold out kind of thing.
Like, maybe a little glass of whiskey.
That's like, somewhere.
I was about to say, I listened to that as well.
I think there's an argument that that might be the best song ever made.
Beyond the sea is the best song ever made.
It's a great argument.
I think there's an argument for it.
I don't think that there's an argument for it at all.
I mean, you know what.
Whatever.
You can have it if you want.
I wouldn't put it even in.
my top 50. Oh, come on. Fifty, brother. Come on. 50. It's just, I was thinking that and then
you sung it. I'm like, wow. But that's a great, listen to what he's saying. Beyond the
sea. Like, it's like an outside song. Like, yes, don't get me wrong. I love them fireside.
But like, you know, there's something about like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, you know, just like a little
like outside. That's kind of wild, though. That's like all you listen to. Yeah. Your listening
age being 83 is fucking crazy. I'll be honest.
that it shocked me. What was your top song? My top song was actually father figure John
Bellion. That was your top song? That was my top song. Oh, wow. So then how the hell does that
for you to end? So you must have listened to so much Franks and I don't know. You beat out your
top song. Dude, I don't know. That they were like, listen. That's crazy. That must have been a
fluke. He must have passed out an accidently listened to John Bellion for five hours.
So my top songs are father figure club husband, T. Payne. Obviously that was. That just
came out like a month ago. That was playing a lot. What? And then Volare, Valore, right, D. Martin, and then beyond the sea.
Valare? Valore. Valore. Yeah. I mean, do you spend your time in a delicatessen? What the fuck are you going?
This is such an interesting mix of songs. All right, so, all right. So give us your top 10 songs.
It only does five. What does that mean? It only does five. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, I got mine on Apple music.
Yeah, what was yours? And my top 10 songs. Do you have top?
Artists? I do have top artists. So my top artists, it's basically just four artists, but it's just like they're categorized in different ways. So my top artist is Billy Joel. Uh-huh. Big Billy Joel guy. I watched a documentary, crushed it. I've been crushing to Billy Joel. Okay. Number two, four, and five are, oh, yeah, number two, four and five are all Hamilton-related.
So anytime there's music going, like, happening around you.
Like, there's an 80% chance at Tamilton.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well, four out of my 10, so 40% chance.
Yeah, yeah.
And then the other, oh, Ozzy Osbourne was on there, coming in at number three.
RIP Ozzy.
You got to put, you know, send him out on his shield or whatever.
On his chariot riding high.
And then the others were all K-pop demon hunters related.
Nice.
Because of the kids.
Yeah, you got to.
I don't hate that music.
Right.
But I also don't listen to it in my own time.
Right.
You know, but my number, so wait, your number one song was father figure by John Belly.
What was your number one song?
Oh, let me guess.
Let me guess.
It's fucking a white man with a beard who is vegan.
Wow.
And I mean, the crowd goes wild.
And we're going to have to call the police.
People are rioting.
Yeah, yeah.
No, my top song was Olive Tree by Quinn 92.
What's wrong with that?
He's just his face just like morphed.
Yeah, it's a song that he dropped this year called Olive Tree.
Oh, for someone that hates olives.
I know it probably has...
The song is...
I know it probably has nothing to do with Olive.
I'm not tasting olives while I'm listening to the song.
Hear me out.
But that's called synesthesia, buddy. People have that.
Sure.
But what you're describing.
I know what you're saying.
I'm just saying like, imagine if you were listening to Olive Tree with a cup of olives in your hand.
That would be kind of nice.
And if you were...
were listening to Volare while chowing down on a fucking canoli or something.
My top song, and it's not, I guess it's, I have 561 top total songs that I listen to.
My top song was Yakko's World from Animaniac.
I don't even know what that is.
You do.
You know where he does all the countries of the world?
Sing it.
He?
Yaco.
One of the Warner Brothers from the Animaniacs.
Is that one of the, like the little.
Water Tower.
The little like cats or whatever?
Yeah.
I mean,
don't, please don't do this thing
where you're like,
what are,
animaniacs,
what do they,
you know who the fly they are.
I,
I spend 25 years.
Like,
I don't remember.
30.
You know the song,
I'm saying.
Yeah, United States,
Canada, Mexico, Panama,
Haiti, Jamaica, Peru,
Republic,
Dominican,
Cuba, Caribbean,
Greenland,
Salvador, too.
Come on.
I'm not going to do
the whole song.
I can.
Let's make that very clear.
Why is it your top?
They just list countries?
Yeah.
Because I was trying to learn it.
For why?
for me
just to get
it's every country in the world
well it was in 1993
when the song came
when the show came out
I think some of these countries
either no longer exist
or they are now
one country or something
but
I set a goal for myself
a little challenge
to test my discipline
yeah
and I did it
so what are you going to do
in 2026
what's the big thing
for 26
The sky's the limit
My second biggest song is golden
Duh
Yeah, it's got to be
I mean again, it's with the kids
Mama I'm coming home
Ozzy Osbourne
Great song
My shot from Hamilton
And then strategy from
From Huntrix
From what?
Huntricks
What's that?
K-pop Demon Hunter
Oh, okay
I'm trying to think if there's any
I haven't really gotten into
K-Tupac Demon Hunter
I've never got into that
If you watch it
You'll be on
board. Knowing you, I think you'll really enjoy it. I'm sure I would. I mean, everyone sings
its praises. I just haven't, like, I haven't seen it. I think Joey would be a soda pop. He'd be a
Saja boy. You know what I'm saying. Massage? No, a Saja boy. Saja boy? Yeah. I don't know what
that means. You'll be happy about this. There is a hip-hop song in my top 10.
What year? It's the International Players Anthem, UGK. That is like the
Frank song.
That song is...
You love that song.
That might be one of the greatest
hip-hop songs of all time.
I'll give you that.
There's different genres?
Yeah, they are different genres.
I feel like your age would have been pretty high
if it wasn't for the demon...
Certainly.
The demon hunters really dragging you down there.
I mean, well, he's got this going on.
Yeah.
You know, so he's probably like really old and really young.
Yeah.
So, he'd probably be 50.
So, I mean...
Still 30 years off.
I mean, you can make the argument.
Is Hamilton old?
Have you been to a show?
That's not a part of the question.
When was, wasn't it from like...
It came like 2015.
It's like 10 years old.
Isn't that from the 1700s?
I would make it.
Hamilton, the person, is from the 1700.
I don't think that the people who enjoy Hamilton, an overwhelming majority of them, are like under 30.
Yeah, I mean, I would think I would like this to be closer to my actual age.
Right.
I think if we're looking at it, the Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Joel put me up there.
Yeah.
But everything else keeps me pretty where I am.
Right.
I would say that Hamilton and Broadway for the most part is probably like, you know,
like I'm sure there's younger people that enjoy that.
I mean, I enjoy it too, but it feels like a middle-aged type of thing.
I think it depends on the show.
Now, if I'm singing stuff from fucking Hello Dolly, I could understand why.
I don't know what that is.
It's a show.
Dolly Parton?
Oh, I don't know.
I've never seen it.
Got it.
Oklahoma.
Never seen that one either, but I thought you'd know it.
That's an older crowd because it's an older show.
but I think Hamilton is relatively younger
Maybe
You don't think so?
Where do you sit with this?
Barbara Streisand
I'm sorry, one more time
How was that an answer to his question?
That's the Hello Dolly
Barbara Streisand?
Oh, Barbara.
Barbarra.
Actually, I think she spelled barbara
Because Barbara is Barbara
But she's barbara
You're right
I think she's barbra
Yeah, something like that
But when I saw her name
I was like, that's not how you spell Barbara
but she spells it Barbara
Which is like to me the correct way
But musicals
I like musicals
What's your favorite musical?
Wicked probably
I've seen it four times
I just saw Wicked yesterday
Oh that's right
You went to the movies
Went to Alamo Draft House
How was the movie theater going experience
It was cool
I mean they
You know
I had a beer
Alamo Draft House doesn't count
As a movie theater
Why
Why? I mean, you're sitting there in a theater watching a movie.
If anything, they count more than movie, like, as a movie theater because they're, like, very into, like, indie films and, like, putting, showcasing stuff that wouldn't otherwise get showcased.
Yeah, when I walked in, there was a lot of posters of things I've never seen before in my life.
But so wicked, I thought it was good.
I saw a lot of people online being like, this movie sucks.
This is kind of blah, blah, blah.
I thought it was, I thought it was good for what it was.
I mean.
Arivo can sing, dude.
Bro, Cynthia Rievo can sing her fucking ass off.
Also, Ariana Grande can also sing her ass off.
And I remember, I was watching the movie.
He started laughing because I had this feeling of like, wow, I'm so happy for her.
Who's this?
For Ariana Grande.
That's that parissocial relationship that you were talking about.
Well, there's been interviews of her, like, when she was younger, being like, all she's wanted to do was, like, do wicked.
And then she ends up doing it.
And she's in the movie.
And I'm like, this is a big moment.
Absolutely.
To be in this thing.
Like, you know, like, Wicked and the Wizard of Oz is like a giant cultural thing.
So for her to actually be in the movie, I was like, I'm so happy for her.
And then I was like, what am I doing?
Yeah, that is a bit, that is a bit.
But it was good.
I mean, like, she, after I saw it, because I haven't seen the second one yet, after I saw the first one, I was like, you know, she really is like just has natural talent for like seemingly anything she does.
Yeah.
I guess the only two things I've seen her do are seeing an act.
So those are big ones.
Those are very big ones.
Yeah.
She's also great on S&L.
And, like, her appearances on SNL.
She's been really, really good.
Yeah.
But it was good.
I liked it.
I thought it was cool.
Fucking four good, dude.
That song is, oh, fucking slapper.
Yeah, I'll probably, not that I'm, like, boycotting it, but, like, I don't know if the second part of Wicked.
I heard that it's not as strong as the first part.
I honestly don't see that.
There's some other stuff coming out.
You should, Joey, you should go to the movies once a month, and you should let me pick what you go see.
Why can't I live my life?
Because it's not how this works.
You can go to the movie.
You go.
Okay.
But let me pick your movie.
But I don't even enjoy movies in the same way that you do.
I think you should go back this weekend and go see Five Nights of Freddy's too.
Oh, I have no interest in seeing that.
Why not?
You're not a Fnaf guy?
No, I mean, I played the game.
That's the game.
They made a movie now?
He did play.
I made two movies.
Spoiler, the fucking bears kill.
Well, there's a bear.
There's a fox.
there's a cupcake, there's a duck. They all kill.
There's a, what else is there? There's an alligator.
Chicken. Chicken. Well, I thought I said duck. I guess Chica is technically a chicken.
It could be a duck.
Could be, yeah, I'm not really that sure.
I'm not really into movies like that.
Scary ones? No, just in general.
Like, I mean, I, I'm more into TV shows than I am movies.
Was that the first time you've had an alcoholic drink at a movie theater?
Yeah, I think so.
When else am I going to drink at a movie theater?
No, mind.
Oh, you sneak it in?
Oh, I'm going to sneak in vodka?
Here's the big bad guy.
Yeah, like the big bad guy.
Instead of going and buying a $12 drink,
you have to sneak in and be a criminal.
No, you still buy that as well.
Oh, so you're doing double take.
No, I've never had an alcoholic drink at that thing.
I just had a beer because I was like,
you know, well, a little better.
They had it.
I was like, I'm not going to order nothing.
Where I have my draft house is what you come for.
Here's what, here's the only way I would bring a drink into a movie theater.
is if it could be like the good old days of like high school
when you just put vodka in a coke bottle
that's when you would do it that's disgusting
you know what I'm saying
like there's something about like not knowing how to mix drinks
that makes it taste better maybe it's just a nostalgia part of me
but like I think it's been disgusting I also never did that
like I never put vodka in a water bottle and just like
drank a little bit of just raw vodka dude what gross the lines
waiting to get into Remy Teen Night
that's what everyone did they passed
around a Poland spring bottle filled
with all the way alcohol I never
did that dude I mean we
would go to clubs but
I would just get hammered at the
like the pre and then
I'd be good
I'd be online freezing and kind of like
I'm warm because
my heart rate's one point I did but
if I had a fake ID I would have used it
in those places yeah I would have what
that shit what at the club yeah
I've never ordered a drink at a club
Like when at that time when we were clubbing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I never did that
Oh, I remember the first drink I ever ordered at a club
What was it?
I thought I was a fucking genius by the way
This should be good
This is when this drink in particular was huge
Yeah
I went to D, well, it wasn't DNA at the time
It was Studio 34
Oh, okay
And it was
tequila
Patron
Silver Sprite
No ice
Fill to the top
That's what you said
And you were probably 17
Yeah
Yeah it was
You said
Patron
You remember when you thought
Petron was like
The fucking
Bro
Like best
Most expensive thing in the world
I'm gonna blow your mind
Do you remember
Nuvo?
No
Look up Nouveau
It was like
the pink bottle
it was like after like
there was like a falling out with crystal
because remember crystal was like the liquor that people
talked about
and then they were like
Nuvo
oh shit do you remember this shit
what's the other one hypnotic
hypnotic is disgusting
it was never as big as Nouveau
15% alcohol it was it was basically
like that's wine baby yeah
it was like rosé in a bottle
this looks like shampoo
yeah it does
yeah honestly it looks delicious
when it's like bright color
like that. I want it. I'm in.
I want it. What would you do with this?
I wouldn't get it, but I'm saying like, there was
like, when we were growing up, there was
always like the cool alcohol.
Yeah. And it was always like, first it was
Crystal, then it was Petron. Do you know
hypnotic? I do. It looks very cool. Yeah, it does.
Hypnotic looks cool. Remember Hypnotic and Hennessy?
Incredible Hall. Of course.
You know? But, yeah, I thought I was the
coolest kid in the world.
Meanwhile, I was over there being like, let me get a red bull
vodka. And I was just like,
I'm sorry. I don't mean.
I don't mean to trigger you, but...
Hypnotic.
Red Bull and vodka, and this is not a diss to Red Bull or a diss to Mr. Vodka.
Yeah.
Not a good combination.
Oh, man.
I think that it gets the job done.
Might be the best.
If you're exhausted and you get in there and you're like, all right, I still want to go, but I'm really struggling.
You do one?
You're fucking sad.
Just do Coke, dude.
Wrong.
Just do Coke at that point.
You're going to go into the club tired?
I mean, don't do drugs, but like...
That's literally the opposite to what you said.
Don't, don't.
I also don't think I even have it in me to be able to do that.
Yeah, neither do I.
Hence why I haven't.
I mean, I've seen you snort Coca-Cola.
Okay, you can get stuff up there is my mind.
Of course, I'm saying like, there's more to life than...
When I started saying that, your eyes lit up like this.
Because I was like, what is he going to say?
I have, to be very clear.
Yeah, I have never done any drug.
Right.
We are...
And that's you being fucking off.
I'm being, yeah.
Okay.
However,
right.
If someone were to come to me and be like, I need to wake up, so I'm going to have a Red Bull and vodka.
I'd be like, dude, just do drugs.
But I don't do drugs either.
I know.
So I'm doing the next best thing.
I just, a Red Bull and Vodka to me is so like, I just, I just think like there's a very specific clientele that has it.
What does that mean?
Psychopats.
I mean, I've done it.
And it works.
And you have it.
That doesn't help me.
But.
But, you know, it gets a job done.
But yeah, I thought it was a fucking genius.
What was it again?
It was a patron silver, sprite to the top, no ice.
Because I was like, oh, I'm basically getting a cup of patron.
At least a half cup of Patron.
You told them to fill it to the top?
Yeah.
Are you even allowed to say that?
And you're right.
It was warm, brother.
It was warm and gross.
Oh, yeah.
Why know I?
Oh, because you wanted all.
I thought I was getting more alcohol.
Okay.
Gotcha, yeah.
This was before.
Fill it up to the top.
That means that they put the same amount of alcohol.
I just filled it in spite.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's so good.
I mean, it was a pretty shitty club that let,
and kids underage all the time.
Yeah.
So, like, they might have.
I don't even, I still to this day kind of have a difficult time with like,
what drink do I order at a place that doesn't have a menu,
like if you're going to get a cocktail.
Because I'm always just like margarita,
but like I don't want that all the time because it's like so burny.
You know, like the lime is so like, it gives you a burn.
I was like, burning.
Who's burning?
No.
I just meant like, you know what I mean?
It's so like sometimes it's too crazy.
Next, you should have like a like a rolodex of like drinks you want to try that are like standard drinks.
I'm not saying go in there and be like, let me get a, you know, a green screen double carpet.
Well, I, there was one time that I went to a, this was when I was probably 24 years old.
And I wasn't really into cocktails at this time.
And I went to this restaurant that when I walked in, it seems.
pretty fancy and I guess we were there a little early and they were like you can go to the bar
and order a drink and just wait for your table I was like all right cool so I go to the bar but
I'm like looking around and everyone's like drinking out of martini glasses but I don't like martini
and you know kind of this thing and I'm like I don't know what because the only drink that I
knew was a jack and coke and I was like I can't order that here yeah it's not the right place
it's not like I just I just can't be like you jack and coke do it up like fucking yeah it doesn't
it doesn't it doesn't work a jack and coke
like when you're young, you're like,
yo, that's like a grown drink.
And then you get grown and you're like,
this is for children.
Yeah.
It was not.
I'm with you.
There is,
I do believe there's a certain etiquette behind getting certain drinks.
Like,
you can't get a jack and coke at like a nice restaurant.
There's like an in between too because there's places that like I would order a cocktail.
But I wouldn't order it because like there's a cocktail called the last word that I really like.
But I wouldn't order that at every place.
You would order that at a cocktail place.
You know what I mean?
I mean, I think that there are certain cocktails that are like classic
that everyone should know how to make that you can order wherever you go.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know.
Like, I don't think it speaks about the, like, the cocktail.
It speaks more about the person, like, if they make it well.
It's less about the cock.
It's less about the cock, more about the tail.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, you could get a Manhattan or you could get a, you know, old-fashioned.
Manhattan.
Yeah. I'll be right with this kid. His listening age, they're ordering Manhattan's.
Manhattan's are delicious, Joey. No. Old fashions, delicious. I like old fashions. Manhattan's.
What was that place that did? Uncle Jacks? Is that still there in Astoria? No. I haven't been
over in that way in a while. Did you see the Pomeroy? It was just like, come on in.
Did there? Oh, I did see that. They posted our clip and they were just like, we got a cold one for you. Yeah, yeah. Very cool.
I've been to the Pomeroy in a minute. Oh, fuck. But like, they used to do an old
fashion, but they would smoke the glass. So it was like a smoky old fashion. If you smoke my drink,
I'm telling you right now, they'll smoke your cock. No, no, no, go. No. There was a place on Dittmore's
that's not there anymore, but on their menu, I went there one time. It was like a new restaurant
at the time, and they had a bone marrow old fashion. Like, come on. What? That's getting a little out
The bone was like cold, so they acted as kind of like the ice cube, and they put that shit in the cup, and then they did the whole thing.
I was like, it's pretty cool.
I'm not, when it's like food like that, like if they had like a chicken wing spritzer, you would get that.
I mean, one of, I had a great drink and it was a Shishito pepper margarita.
Peppers are different.
Peppers are different.
That's a vegetable.
I'm talking like bone marrow is like.
It's a meat.
It's meat adjacent.
It's meat adjacent.
It's a ligament.
Do they have, like, buffalo chicken alcohol?
I pray every day that they don't.
That sounds disgusting.
It sounds like something you guys drink.
I don't want to look it up because I'll buy it.
It does sound like something you would, you know, drink and throw up.
If they did, I'll hear me out.
I love Frank's Red Hot.
Okay.
What if they, because everyone's looking, like, we're finally coming back around.
Joey, I don't know if you know this.
Back in the day, companies used to be a lot more playful with their branding.
It's becoming like you just say the same things.
Hear me out.
What if insert company more playful, here's my horrible idea.
What if, as we're coming back around to that place where companies are becoming more playful, Frank's Red Hot, partners with a vodka company and they make a buffalo flavored vodka and the challenge, because you love alcohol challenges, you love it, you love it.
I don't.
If the challenge is a buffalo flavored vodka mixed with a chaser of blue cheese.
Oh, my God.
That probably would offset the burn.
That's what I'm saying.
This could be a billion dollar idea.
Now we're getting ahead of ourselves.
This could be an absolute billion.
Bro, a viral trend.
I mean, I'm pretty sure there's spicy, there is spicy like alcohol.
I know there's spicy alcohol.
I've had spicy alcohol.
I'm saying, though, like.
There's an easy way to stop this.
Seeing if it exists.
Yeah.
Oh, perfect.
They can partner with Buffalo Trace.
Yeah.
So Frank's Red Hot partners with Buffalo Trace.
God.
And they make the Buffalo.
It doesn't exist.
Dude.
It's fine.
Dude.
No.
No, it doesn't exist.
You know what?
Instead of all of these ideas, instead, why doesn't everyone who's listening just have a nice
Happy Thursday.
Okay.
That's a happy Thursday.
That's a really good point.
Happy Thursday, guys,
these are, and yes, we are getting
into the sponsors right now with Happy Thursday.
But happy Thursday,
these are great, okay?
These are spiked refreshers, okay?
Because they're spiked, you've got to be 21.
There's some alcohol in here.
How much?
4.4%.
That's a good little middle ground right there.
But they have 4.4% alcohol and they're bubble-free.
So it doesn't get you, you know, anything.
too crazy going on in here. It doesn't get you all bloated. And it tastes really good. It's
refreshing. But they're delicious. They go down easy. Obviously, you've got to be 21 to have it.

And I'm not fucking buying into this.
What are you talking about?
Frankie.
All right, I'll play around.
You want me to finish on Johnny?
What?
What's asking you to do that?
So when you finish, when you end the whole Johnny moves.
When I finish, when I finish on Johnny.
No, that's nothing to do with Jizzing come.
When you complete this riddle, when you come back and you land on Johnny, this is how you finish.
Now, now do it.
I fucking hate this so much.
Should we just tell?
Sure, I guess.
Well, he should try one more time, probably.
One more time.
Just one more time.
Okay.
All right.
So, so you watched, but you watched.
Yes.
You watched the whole thing.
I watch everything.
How do you finish?
Nice try.
No, no, no.
I'm trying to help you.
How do you complete it?
I'm trying to save time.
I'm not saying it.
It's not about game.
Complete the riddle on Johnny.
Johnny.
And then this is how you finish.
This is how.
It's not gay.
I know.
Wait, is it, though?
It isn't gay, I swear.
Just do the finish part.
Johnny whoop.
Johnny whoop.
Johnny whoop.

Who's this?
Who's this?
That's Johnny.
Johnny.
Johnny.
Johnny.
Frankie.
Hey, I'm...
Johnny.
Johnny.
arms you gotta fold your arms after it was his idea I knew Johnny Whoop
you think Frank does I'm like I don't know this is how you finish we did it
every time should we go to the ads or something you want to take some time or
yeah
yeah
but a big him
small me
yeah
yeah
I fucking hate those things
so much
we did that video for
San Diego Studios where we did like
the bar tricks
where it's just like I'm bringing
a pen
and I wanted to bash my head
through the wall
not as a bit
not as like
let me
spruce this up and make this funny. I'm not kidding. If I live the rest of my life and you asked me
to do one of those things or eat a spoon of fucking mustard, I think I found something I hate more than
mustard. Wow. Wow. So that means we got to do more of them. No, I mean you may not say that
no, no, I won't be doing either of them. Let's make that abundantly clear. That sucks. That is so
sucky. Johnny whoop. I did it. Yeah. Fuck you. You.
You smug, bastard.
And whoever the hell made this up.
Well, him, me, not me.
Me small.
I did also think it was a gay thing, if I'm being really honest.
Yeah, it wasn't like Johnny.
Because you were just like, this is how you finish.
And then my response would be like, so I finish on Johnny.
And he was like, whoa!
That's what I thought it was.
One of those schoolyard got you gay things, you know?
Got you gay.
That's what I thought it was.
Dead to rights gay.
Dead to rights, dick.
Dick to rights.
we've exercised that a little bit too much
just something I saw
God I hate those things so much
I know I mean
there's that other one that you did one time
where it's just like
whoop
whoop
oh it's like finger stuff
well Joe you have done finger stuff
before on camera there was like yeah
there's one I've seen there was this one guy
that was like here's how to test your brain
and I would do them and be like I'm literally
my shit is not working correctly well that's why I like to
like test my discipline and
learn Yako's world from the animaniacs to really test how disciplined I am.
That's how.
That's how.
I mean, it's cool that you choose to do that because I really do think that's like a unique
experience.
Like, I don't think anyone else is testing their discipline in that way.
Wow, wait a second.
You know what?
You kind of gave me something there.
So I mean, I'm serious.
I am one of one.
Yeah.
Like I did that thing.
No one else has done that, but me.
Except maybe the voice actor that did it.
for the show. I'm sure people have memorized that
before, but not for the intention that you are.
One of one. One of one.
You kind of made me feel better about myself there.
I wasn't trying to put you down.
I agree.
One of one.
Yeah.
Yeah. One, one and one.
End the show.
Also, this?
You fucking marry Kate and Ashley
on a box set of a VHS cover.
Who does this still?
Fold their arm.
I know we've done in pictures a lot.
Human beings?
Yeah, but like, I, as like a gotcha thing.
I mean.
You know, it's like a, hmm, it seems like I've got you cornered.
Very anime.
Very, not just anime, but like, it's like 80s movie school bully.
You know what I mean?
It's like, well, you have lunch money.
Guess who's hungry?
I love to give me your lunch money thing.
And in movies, it was like they would hold them upside down and shake it out of their pockets.
I don't know what pants these kids were wearing
You could hold me upside down
And shakes me for hours
Nothing's coming out of my pocket
That's what I mean
Like what are we talking about here
Did you guys have lunch money?
Yeah
Growing up yeah
When we were like younger
Yeah I don't
But like it wasn't like a
They gave me cash
Like it was like an envelope
That we like gave our teacher
And the teacher would give it
Like for whoever needed it
Yeah I mean now we're thinking back
Like I don't remember
I mean we definitely had cash
When it was pretzel day
Well yeah
that but we did we give we didn't pay cash i didn't so my oh i asked my mom ahead of time i asked
my mom about this recently because i was like i never remember paying and she's like it we paid
but i would because she was always close with all the school teachers and all the schools oh nepotism
sure she would pay them directly like she would go and like give it like oh this is for frankie
today i thought that like there would be these payments like i vaguely remember handing an envelope of
money and then they would like mark your name so that they knew like you would go on that line or
something why do and you know like they even still do this a little bit to kids why give kids
that much responsibility with something like we've had to for like our kids school like they had
the holiday shops around this time of the year where you know it's like you know you can you know buy
something for your whole family and it's like a scholastic book fair amount of stuff but like
it's like send your kids in with cash like why hasn't these schools like set up
up something where it's like I can like load it onto my kids account and they use it that
way. Yeah, I don't know. But I mean, I think also it was like an income thing because I think
some people got free lunch. Yes, correct. It was. But I'm saying like giving your seven year old
a fucking envelope of money and be like, go give this to your teacher. Yeah, I don't know. I would be like,
no. I think that's why my mom didn't let me because I'd just take it and go to sip surf and play.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it was just like, I think that's what it was.
It's like an envelope you hand it to your teacher, and she marked her name, and then you're good.
But there were some children that I guess their families were below a certain amount of income,
so they got free lunch.
But, you know, I think my, well, my mom didn't work in the school at that time,
but she worked in a school.
And my dad was a fireman, so.
Did you have to pay?
Well, we know someone didn't have to pay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Definitely not.
He was paying double over there.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
whole class.
He's, uh,
absolutely.
He brought in filet mignon.
He was like,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Played Dean Martin.
Give me filet mignon.
Yeah, yeah.
I need my espresso.
He's six-year-old
with his fucking vodka
red bowl and having a
lobster tail at lunch.
He's just,
fuck, everyone's eating
rectangle pizza.
We know you had that hat
in elementary school,
too.
Enough with the hat,
dude.
Yeah, he's like,
I used to at lunch
at the table
that we eat chicken pucata.
Wait.
So I know
we got completely
off track back to you going to the movies you had a good time at the movies yeah would you go back
to the movies if i was compelled to watch a movie has there been nothing that has come out where it's
just like i should go see that in the theater i think i'm just spoiled by the way that we consume now
like it'll it'll like these things will be available in my living room in a couple months
yeah that doesn't but like for me with movies it's like if i see a movie and i'm like oh i want to
see that that the time that that lasts is probably much sure that's
shorter than it lasts for you.
Because if it did last longer of like,
no,
I really want to see that movie,
then I would be compelled to go.
Dude,
the last week has been trying
because we haven't finished Stranger Things.
And I was just like,
let's watch them all right now.
Let's do it all,
which I know we can't
because of just like
their very long episodes.
But like, Becca's just like,
we'll watch an episode of night
and then we'll wait a couple days.
And then we'll watch,
which we haven't done this time,
but like she's much more.
I'm like on like the binge now model.
I'm like that too.
once I get started like I'm not I don't like taking days off like especially if we're sitting
here and we're not really doing anything like why are we going to watch anything but the show we
decided to watch yeah yeah so I'm kind of like that too um Nicole's like she can do like
two but then it's like are you guys into stranger things she's never watched any of it I've I've watched
it I just haven't watched the new season watch it and it's tough to be like I'm gonna put on this
imagine having no context. I'm like,
oh, these kids and there's aliens. It's like, it's hard to explain.
Technically not aliens.
I mean, so we just showed Miles.
So that's why we waited as long because he had to finish season four before we started watching season five.
And he's like, I got like three episodes left.
And I was like, get in your room.
I'll do your homework.
Yeah.
And go watch this show.
And he was just like, no, I want to enjoy it.
You're sick tomorrow because you're going to be home watching.
Watching fucking Stranger Things.
No, I'm not kidding.
Last, I think it was Monday, he came home, and we hadn't started watching it yet.
And on the way home, I called Becca and I was just like, is Miles home from school?
And she's like, no, I was like, the minute he walks in, take his backpack, send him to his room to watch Stranger Day.
I'm not playing around, dude.
Yeah.
I, when I, like, let's watch it.
It's getting increasingly tougher not to, like, already parts of strangers things were spoiled for me.
So if you say anything, either of you, because I haven't finished this batch of episodes.
yet. That
gun that I brought up a couple
episodes ago, I'll use it to shoot
a hat off his head. Can't
have that. Not that hat.
Not that one.
Anyway, we do have some more
sponsors for the show. The first one being,

and you're welcome
all right
well
every time I look over at you
I just see Nicholas Cage
I know he's just sitting on his butt
and a raccoon
that's a cute raccoon
I don't want to
I'm in a few
I'm currently in a feud with a raccoon in my house
you have raccoons
they eat your garbage
yeah nice
no
dude so I went out there
the other night to throw out garbage
and there it was
just on my garbage can it was standing on my recycling lifted it up and was fucking
isn't that so cute how they have hands and they can just do stuff that we can do not cute dude
because it was a mess there was garbage everywhere i found pieces of ham and turkey all over the
place i'm surprised you let that go away i mean we ate most of it it was it was it was pieces
that like were scraps yeah i didn't think it was a full hunk of ham out there well i was fucking
and then we got we went to get our tree the other night and i got home as i pull up
Guess who's in the garbage can?
Elvis Presley.
Sure.
I got out of the car and I literally like,
and I was like, everyone get out that side of the car
because I didn't want this thing to attack my family.
Do they attack?
They can.
Yeah, I don't know.
They got teeth.
They got hands, as you said.
They got claws.
Yeah.
You know?
I mean, unfortunately, you can't trust them right now.
But I feel like we've gotten to a good place as far as rabies.
well
I'm serious
what do you mean
like me specifically
he's gotten to a good place
or like the world
no no like the
well I can't speak for the world
but the US
yeah
we rabies we have all but
eradicated its effects
on humans
once we start
once we officially be like
yo it's eradicated
I'm gonna be like
I'm gonna start hugging
some fucking raccoons then
um I mean
let's be very clear
about something
yeah
you can do that
yeah it's a risk
you can't
but like you could also
go hug a raccoon
they scratch you
you just go right
to
hospital and you should be good yeah i don't want to i don't like going to hospitals i mean a lot of
urgent care clinics in the northeast carry it because rabies is way more prevalent over here
as you could tell i am the utmost fucking expert on rabies vaccine availability yes i had to go to the
fucking when we were in i know when we were in phoenix i had to go to the hospital there to get my
rabies vaccine yeah did it hurt did it height the first one wasn't fucking
can you feel it go in you like oh I'm I'm now anti-raibed I like to imagine that I wish because
like I've got IVs before and like whatever but like I wish I could just feel it going
everywhere like a shield oh it's killing everything like you leave there and you feel stronger
or something I feel like we did talk about this but I can't remember but I just saw a video
online about it but when I got an IV and there were some bubbles and I'm like watching
watching the bubbles in the thing and I'm like, am I going to die?
Oh, yeah, there was a movie I saw that was like, if you pump air, if air gets in the person's bloodstream or something,
their heart will explode.
It's definitely not good, but I, I also, I saw it coming from the bag, and I was just like, oh, God.
And it wasn't big.
It was just like these two bubbles.
Oh, but if it's an IV, the air doesn't get into you.
Oh, no, it does.
And an IV?
Yeah.
Because the way the IVs are set up, like the air won't travel through.
what at least in my experience well there's like these little bubbles because they also have to
inject these things into the bag gotcha got okay yes yeah a little bit of when the saline
solution goes in it makes a little frothiness no no so like the bag is the bag and there's no air
in that but there's a part of the bag that you can inject things into and in this case it was like
vitamin b and like some other shit yeah yeah and I guess during that maybe that causes some
sort of whatever but I'm watching the bubble and I'm like oh god and then
And it goes into my arm and I'm just like, yeah, um, what's that like, what's that thing
with like bubbles, you know, like the bubbles in the thing, like it's dangerous.
And he's like, oh, yeah, I was like, yeah, because I just saw it to go in.
And probably should have said something before you saw him go in.
Yeah, I, I, I didn't think that was polite to, yeah, I thought my life was in danger and
I thought it was impolite.
Yeah, let me, yeah.
But he explained like the, the, the dude.
who was doing it he explained that like it's okay if like little bubbles because your body
can handle that he's like this would have to be like a lot of air and then that gets in like
that would be a huge issue like if someone like put one of those old timey like fire starters you know
which one i'm talking about no you know what i'm talking about the accordion ones yeah the accordion
looking one that oh like the tip of an umbrella yeah those yeah if they put that in you and just
started going off i could see that i mean that's i mean of course that but they but he was like it
he's like these bubbles these little bubbles are not a big deal even if they like attach and it made one
little bubble like that then like that's not really a big deal like your body can kind of filter that
out but um or your lungs or whatever i don't know but he's like if if he's like i he's like i
primed the line meaning that the fluid goes through it first to get all the air out there and then
you kind of clip it so that you know whatever but if you don't do that and like a decent amount
of the line is air and that gets in you now you're fuck
So it kind of eased my anxiety about that because...
Don't tell me this.
Because now I'm going to be very bubble observant next time I go get like...
Well, the mini bubbles are fine.
It's supposed to ease.
Like, those are okay.
Death by bubble would be so, so rough.
But you know what I thought about?
I'm like, there's a lot of people on the street that are addicts who, you're making this, you're making this serious.
No, no, but they inject themselves.
I'm like, if a bubble would kill someone like that, you would think.
that would happen more often like and that would be the reason sure so i guess when he was saying that
it kind of like made sense because that was always something i thought about because i always thought
a bubble in the line would be a big deal i don't know why i obviously know about like you know
addicts using needles and stuff on the street and stuff the first time i saw an actual syringe on the
street i like ran what where like i was uh by astoria park on the strip you ran in the opposite
direction. Yeah, I was like, oh, like it was going to like grow legs and chase me. Yeah.
It's like, I don't know why, but it's been like such a spoken of like vilified situation of like
needles. If you see a needle, that I was just like, I just need to get as far away from this thing as
I can. That's so funny. I fucking sprinted, brother. Do you want to hear a funny story that like is
similar to that, like how it doesn't really make sense why you would run away? Keith one time was
hammered and got a sandwich and was walking home. I believe it.
was my like 23rd birthday or something and he's walking home from the bar by himself and he heard
the cops they were doing something else he heard the cops and just got so scared and and for some
reason ditched his sandwich and then ran home if anything the ditching of the sandwich
that's littering and i was like what did you think like did you think that they were after you
in your sandwich they could have been and he's like i'll ditch the sandwich and i got
home you know but it was a thing growing up in a story that like if you saw the cops it was like
oh oh they're here like what are we doing you know not that we were well there were times where we
were doing stuff we could have gotten in trouble for but like i remember i remember that same sentiment
just like walking down the street and the cops roll by and i'm just like oh fuck they're after me
yeah like what did i do now fully knowing i did nothing there was also not a lot of cops in our
neighborhood growing up yeah i feel like they and if they cared about anything it wasn't us
no you know like they were a hundred percent like more busy with other people are you there when
they came up to us in the park i don't know if you were there i know josh was there but this is when
josh josh used to be mad small dude like he was like tiny and we were at the park and we
at this this is probably around the age that you would be like drinking in the park but we
weren't doing that and the cop just pulled up like a d t pulled up in like a unmarked car and then
just like came right into the park like would have caught us if you'd be like
we had shit on us and just like came up to start shining our lights and be like what do you guys
and then i'll never forget we're there and the guy flashes the light towards josh
he goes what do you 10 he was like 18 years old yeah no that same thing happened at the lake
do you remember what you fucking 10 do you remember the same thing happened at the lake where they
saw josh and they were just like oh you 12 you know he did look very small for his age now
now he's huge and kick our heads off so he's pretty big but also i could still kick his ass
I will do anything, Josh, for you to take two rounds with Frank in the gym.
Let's be very clear.
Josh would kill me, revive me, and then kill me again.
I can't wait, dude.
He's going to hit me up and be like, yeah, we should get a video.
Yeah.
He said that to us before.
Like, yo, like standing out of studio sparring.
Just us sparring, Josh.
Yeah.
He would take that very seriously.
And he'd win.
What about you two at the same time?
No, we're getting them.
You getting them?
Two people at the same time.
In what kind of fight?
it's a good it's good question well because he does all kicks no he no he punches he strikes yep all right
so i mean he does moitai i i thought moitai was kicking there is kicking there's also punching
plus punching if frank like tackles them yeah like if we both like just tackle them yeah you know what
i mean you're pauls on them you're right i think i can i can withstand like two or three punches
and i think you can withstand two or three punches yeah maybe if they're not in certain areas you know
like if it was just like bang here
in my nose I'd be like
I think that
we could get and corner him
and get him down together as a unit
before like two on one
I mean we're two grown men
yeah no it's hard it's hard
the best athlete in the world
would have a difficult time with that
I really wonder what he's thinking
while he's editing he's that in this like
there's no fucking way
there's no fucking ding ding ding I kick Frank's head off
and here's what I fully expect is that we're going to get a
going through how he would whoop our ass.
He's going to give me a fucking right cross,
knock my fucking mouthpiece out.
Well, he'd probably go for my knee first
because I had my knee surgery 15 years ago.
I don't think he has a scouting report on you.
He knows that.
We've known the kid forever.
We've known him for like 20 years.
He probably knows our weaknesses.
He's probably mapping this out right now.
And I would say, though,
he should be more worried about me than you.
No offense.
Why?
I'm just, I think I'm in a,
bigger weight class than him.
So I just have more...
Bro, do you know how much Josh weighs?
The kid looks...
I know what he looks like.
I would say he weighs 170.
I think he probably does.
Yeah, and it's all muscle.
But it's not...
He doesn't look like that.
He looks like...
He might be less.
But he's big.
Well, because he's...
He's still...
Well, it's because you could be as muscular as you want
and go to as much moitai as you want.
He's still four foot.
six i mean i don't know that now you're four foot six now we're going to have to do the video
now we're going to have to do the video Josh we're going to rent out of gym we're going to see what
happens he's going to text me he's like i have to defend my family's honor um yeah i can't
imagine that um we'll be all right well how do we get from raccoons to that do you think you and i
tag team could beat up aunt yeah all right good as long as you know we're saying that we could
beat up Josh.
Wow.
What do you think he's going to beat Josh up?
No.
You don't think so?
I'm not beating Josh up.
You sure about that.
Josh trains to fight.
So I'll just start grabbing.
What's that?
It was both of you.
It was both of you.
Oh, are next?
No, what were you grabbing that you were going like?
No, it was the ball.
It was the balls.
Oh, you're a dirty fighter.
There's two of you.
You're not, you're not.
I just meant in general.
Like, are you a dirty fight?
You, they all grab your fucking ball.
I don't give a shit.
Sure.
Sure.
Yes.
Don't try it.
Well, it depends.
For once, talk about something opposite that has nothing to do with your hat.
It depends.
It depends what they're doing.
Yeah.
But I'll grab you.
Who's they?
Both you.
Like your opponent.
I'll grab you balls.
I mean, if so, if we don't go for balls, you're not going for balls?
Oh, my God.
It really depends.
No, there's two of you.
I'm going for balls.
You have no chance.
I'm going right for balls.
Oh.
How do I defend my balls?
Jeans?
Jeans.
No, you can get, you can do.
Be tougher, though.
Also, if I'm like spread, if anything, if anything.
sweatpants you're better off
baggy or sweatpants
your shit will get lost in the cloth
am I insane
jeans are like tougher to like get through
the denim material sure
but I'm saying like if you wear like really baggy
like Jenko jeans or something
I can go right up to your balls
no there's a lot of cloth in between them
okay you wear sweatpants
I'll wear jeans
I'll wear leggings
That's actually worth
Have you ever worn leggings?
No, I don't think so
I mean even, no, you could wear leggings
You never worn like leggings
Thank you for giving me
No, no, no, I meant like, like
I don't mean like women's leggings
Yeah, like Long Johns or like
For like football or something
Mormons? What are you doing?
I don't know, I'm just saying
Or like for like football or something
Do you know Mormons wear like a full one piece
Long John like to bed
The like the top of the
more like as Mormon as you can get look that up Mormon bedtime Mormon bedtime clothes
Mormon bedtime clothes Mormon bedtime clothes I forgot what it's called but it's like a thing and
it and it's not like the ass flap it may it's not like a bedtime garments that's probably a
bed where I say what I wanted to say but there's like a full yeah like that like this yeah
yeah it's like a whole thing come on dude yeah and I'm not sure why
But this, I sweat too much.
I can't go full more.
I mean, I could sleep in that, but like, the fact that I would have to would upset me.
I'll say this.
It's kind of crazy that it's white.

Let's unpack that a little bit.
What do you mean?
Stains of what?
What are you doing in your sleep that you're staining your clothes?
Dude, I don't know.
You're fucking sweating and, like, your butt and your balls and, like, I don't know.
Are you and I on the same page here?
feel like this would be more concerned for you for me for him why yeah i mean i've spoken you guys
talk about sleeping naked all the time and i'm like no like that that's crazy and you but you're not
worried about sweating that thing and just making it look like i i guess you sweat more than i do so
sweating is not an issue for me not at night are you not a sweaty boy no not really frank
doesn't really sweat i don't really sweat wow your pits sweat though like sometimes you got a white
tea that like the corner is like that was the that was the odor that was the deodorant i'm telling you
right now there was a deodorant that i was using and i'm not going to name the name of the company
but i i'm not kidding they ruined several shirts because it like turned my underarmes black
i'm serious dude i have sure you've seen them i've seen i've like you know someone take a shit in
your arm yeah and and that was fully the deodorant because i've i've used other deodorant that
doesn't happen so even if that is true we don't know alleged but even if that's true
you putting the shirt back on is that counts yeah
I have detachment issues. I'm sure. That's fair.
You have detachment issues even with white T-shirts that have shit armpits?
Yeah, because I remember where and when I got those shirts.
A pack of white T's?
Yes.
Some of them I don't.
Some of them...
Do you really not? Like, I know that, like, you don't, like, for things, but, like, what's, what's, like, a ridiculous thing that you, like, that you can acknowledge is ridiculous, but you don't throw those things out?
I mean, I have boxers from what I.
I was in like middle school yeah I know that but like is there like a weird item I mean I have
shirts you know that I that that that no longer fit me you know at a point in time I was a medium
right what the hell is that I have you know but they're like nice shirts still that I'm like
I'm just gonna keep this and I don't do the whole like if I go to be a medium again but just
like I'm not getting rid of this why because because if those threads
could talk they'd tell the story of my life they can't i know but if they could but what does that
mean what does that count toward i think that there wait so hold on i this is interesting to me honestly
sure a shirt that's a medium and it's not a particularly like it's a blue shirt it's a nice
shirt i got some nice shirts no no i'm saying just like a shirt though that's like a blue shirt
there's like nothing crazy about it okay haines blue shirt you wouldn't throw it out even
though it doesn't fit you there's not this like pattern on it that's like whoa
It's just that it's your shirt.
Yep.
And you won't throw that up.
Yep.
So you haven't thrown out a shirt ever?
No, of course I have.
There are some shirts I make exceptions.
And if I throw a shirt out, that is non-donatable.
Like, it's like, no one's going to take this.
I rip it like Hulk Hogan.
Also, when I say throw out clothes, I mean donate.
I donate most of the clothes that I get rid of.
I donate every single piece of clothing.
Well, no.
There are certain ones that you, like, shouldn't.
Do you know I donated that Gucci shirt
Yes, you told me that
And good for whoever got that
I know
Who ever got this
I'll donate literally anything
I will too
But like a white like raggedy t-shirt
That has fucking pit stains and shit like that
I'm not donating that
Well yeah
I'm tearing it like I'm Hulk Hogan
Yes I think that's a great way
To kind of go about that
But what separates a shirt
So it's only a shirt that's like
Did I wear it first?
Why are you willing to part
with some and did I wear it for something specific like does there something about it that I can
remember you know like for instance I have an old pair of like nikes but they're like like I used
them for like mowing a lawn and stuff like that and I recently got a new pair of shoes and I went to
go throw these out and I looked at the shoes and there is a little paint stain on it and it was from
when I painted Ruby's first nursery and I was like oh well now I have to keep these forever
something. Right. If that wasn't there, yes, all the times I wore it, all the times I did this and
da-da-da-da-da-da. Right. It would still be meaningful. But now that I see the thing and it
brings it back to a specific, I'm like, oh, well, now these are mine forever. Okay, which I understand.
Let's talk about the potential situation of you throw it out anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Like,
I don't want to say that someone did that because I can see how you'd be upset by that. But like,
what happens if you do throw them out?
If you're like, you know, I'm just going to throw them out of their shoes.
And, like, I get it.
There's, like, an attachment to the paint, cool, whatever.
But you kind of let them go.
Like, what does that?
How does that make you?
I think that there just, there's a time where you just feel like it's time to let them go.
And you let them go.
I mean, eventually, in theory, like, they will forever be energy in the universe.
And that doesn't take that from that.
Because let's say I throw out a pair of shoes.
Let's say they're donated to somebody else.
somebody else has them eventually through time
they'll get melted or burnt down
through a landfill or something
that energy goes out into the air
and it's forever in the universe
in our ever-expanding universe
so there is a time where I can allow it
to continue its process
into being a part of it around us
or I could light it on fire myself
and I can inhale the fumes
I'm not saying I'm doing that because that might not necessarily
be good for me
but it's something it is to do
yeah inhaling shoe fumes
yeah yeah no i wouldn't i wouldn't suggest you do that i haven't and won't so what is the
so what is the what is the reason why because this this thing that you just said
where you give something away or you donate it it becomes garbage it gets melted the
energy is still you talk about the energy or whatever why do you need all of that in your
on your personal if that's something that you don't need all of it i don't i mean you you keep a lot
I keep a lot. Not all of it. There are stuff like literally like as time passes I get rid of other stuff. I just did it when when we moved to our new house like I took the time to go through my old stuff and literally like I was all right it's time for this to go. All right. It's time for this to go. It's time for it. Is it a time thing? It is. I think it is a time thing and it's also a relevance thing. Like I am probably way more inclined to get rid of something about like from like from like from like that has to do with like the kids and Becca. You know because like that.
is more relevant and meaningful now,
like compared to a fucking, you know,
empty beer bottle I had for my 21st birthday.
Why?
Because that thing is,
it's just one of those things I find,
like,
if I'm going to be sentimental about this stuff,
I'd rather now be about...
You're less sentimental about yourself.
Yes.
I'm more sentimental now about the family that I have and, like, stuff like that.
So, like, stuff that I have of my own,
I'm like, oh, yeah, okay.
But it's a time thing.
It's a time and relevance thing.
That's interesting.
You're just throw it out.
You just get rid of it.
No, it's not like that.
I mean, I think that the way my mind works is if I found these shoes and it was like there was a piece of paint on there from a thing.
To me, there's not enough of an attachment to the overall.
Like, there has to be something else.
Like, I don't need every single thing that reminds me of that to exist in my mind.
I, like, I would want something, of course.
Yeah, I mean, it's just, I think it's obviously subjective person to person, like, in that
moment.
If paint got on six things, would you keep all of them?
Probably not.
You would pick one?
Yeah.
Okay.
I would say, yeah.
But, because as you're like, all right, the paint splatter.
Yeah, because one paint splatter.
Because the one paint splatter puts me, it reminds me of everything included in that.
You know what I mean?
Okay.
So, like, I'm-
If you throw out the brushes, that's a big paint.
No, I still got the,
brushes. Okay. I cleaned them out. So there's still the brushes that I use to paint all the
kids' rooms. Right. So eventually I'll be like, this is the brush. And your kids are going to go,
Dad, please. Get rid of it. We do not get it. I'm like afraid as an example. Here's an example.
My God, you're going to have it a museum of your own life in your life. Yeah. I mean, is that not
what houses are? When you move out, like, don't your parents give you like, here's all your
shit that I kept, you can do whatever you want with it. I know. No, your mom, your parents do that. My mom has
stuff, but not, not like, a lot.
lot of things she has like folders of like you know shit and like old like uh school
projects maybe that's fair we have like some clothing but there's nothing like oh this is
the wallpaper from your room growing up yeah i'd be like what the fuck am i gonna do with that
i'm also let's be very clear i acknowledge that i'm probably a little too intense about this
stuff i i know i'm like that's totally fine i'm just trying to understand the the the mentality
behind it the mentality is just like i i
I am very much so into the idea of like, you know, like you tell stories and like you're basically right now, like if someone were to meet you, like you don't know that person, but you have a collection of stories and things that you've been with and been through and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that makes and contributes to who you are.
Yeah.
And to me, these relics, these items that I hold on to allow me to kind of bring myself back to those moments, back to those memories.
Where was I? What was going on? What was our life like? Oh, my God. We were expecting.
Ruby and then like we were oh do you remember how you're like it just it kind of fuels the fire
of the story and then eventually that fire gets dimmer and dimmer and dimmer and then maybe
you pick up something and you're like oh my God and it comes back again jogs your memory
yeah sometimes I mean think of how many stories you probably stopped telling that you just
forgot about yeah so you got to keep that candle burning I don't think I I I personally don't
feel like I need to
okay i think that like that's that's probably okay yeah i don't think there's any right or wrong way
to do it yeah no it's not i also think i i i know i are you worried is that like the worry though
you're worried about you'll forget something sometimes i mean but that's not why that's not
like propelling me to do this stuff sometimes there is the worry of like oh man like what if i
forget let me tell it again to like but then also it's just like i don't know there's like
for instance
I have
you know
one of
I don't have one
I have five
of Ruby's
pacifiers
from when she was
a baby
eventually I'll only have one
because I know
eventually I'll be like
I don't need all five of these
but like
when I have a physical object
it's like
to me it's like a sense
of like time travel
like I can go back
to be like
oh my God
like this was the thing
that she and us
and at the time
like it just
to me it feels like
there is more
to this item
it's like the idea of like if you were to go and buy a dinosaur bone you know yeah you go buy a dinosaur bone
it's just like yo this is from this time yeah think of the time that it's lasted where was it
all that like there's more to it so i definitely understand that i guess the i like i i get what you're
saying and i agree with you um the part that i think that makes you stand out as far as that does
is maybe the amount and the, I guess the items,
like very specific niche items.
Sure, yeah.
So it's like, that's why I'm wondering the mentality behind that
because of course, like the pacifiers,
like I wouldn't be surprised if you kept all of them.
Like that to me, you know, especially with like your young children,
their young ones, keep everything.
Like, you know what I mean?
Obviously.
But the, like, you know, your shirt that was a size medium,
that, of course, we'd never, you know, like, you're never going to, like, wear it again.
And it's just, like, a shirt or whatever.
It never minds you of something, like, still the idea that I have to keep this, too.
That's what I'm interested.
It's also, with clothing in particular, it's also, like, I can offer it to my kids one day.
Like, Miles, maybe one day he'll want a shirt.
And if he doesn't, then we can get rid of it because then there's no point for me to have it.
Like, but is that the reason you're keeping it?
Or why you chose to keep it, like, at that time?
I would say 50-50.
But you probably kept that shirt at a time where Miles didn't exist.
I mean, I see what you're saying.
No, but I see what you're saying.
But my mentality is just like, oh, it's an old shirt.
I've had this shirt forever.
I'm going to keep it.
Maybe one day he'll want it.
If he doesn't, then basically the clock expires on both of those things.
And it could be time to get rid of it.
Okay.
Yeah.
And do you have anyone in your life that's like that too?
Probably not to the extent that I am.
I think I definitely have people in my life.
Like, I think it is a part of my family.
like we all like took things from our childhood home and stuff like that but I think I am probably like younger though
like like like when you were younger like when you were younger like did you see anyone doing this and you're like oh I like this
I don't think so I really do think and as all things tend to with me it all comes back to my megazords
I really do think that seeing Toy Story 3 and realizing like oh those toys that I played with at that age are now gone
put me more in probably a concentrated position
to just be like let me hold on to it as long as I can
and then I want to get rid of it at my time
I'm not blaming my mom but I am blaming my mom
Pixar's to blame really
and my mom
okay
interesting
and Joey's just like
oh what's this
my kid's birth certificate? Fuck this
and he'll burn it and rip it
no I'm not like that
Oh, I know. I know. I'm bust of each other. Do you do that? Do you keep stuff?
No. I feel like I'm good at detaching from it, unless someone, like, gifted me something, maybe.
Like, if it's their time and their money and their thought, I'm more likely to save it, I suppose, than anything I have.
Yeah. I think also, like, there's been times, like, in the past five years that, like, I do a secret Santa with my friends, and, like, sometimes you get a gift, you're kind of like, I'm never going to get to this.
and I'm okay with getting rid of that pretty suddenly
not like that day but like
I'm just it's just not for me and like I just don't
I don't even think that the gift was given with this like
this is all of me here this item
so I'm like okay with kind of detaching from stuff like that
yeah I guess I get that but I'm like you
if someone gives me a gift I am like
even if I'm not crazy about it like I'm gonna keep it
I'm gonna wear it I'm going to like that's just
because it's a representation of what that person thinks of me
Now, if they get me something like, here, whatever, you know, like a, it's clearly like a, you know, like a non-thought-out thing, a bit different.
I'm still going to keep it, though.
Like, I don't know.
Like, I guess I don't know if this is weird, but like, so, like, when people send things to my PO box, like, I'm more likely to keep that than something like a family member got me as a gift.
Yeah, that is, if anything, it would be opposite.
Yeah, I know, but it's like, I don't know.
I just feel like it feels like an extra thought and like an extra purpose.
Did that hat come in the PO box?
No, this, well, no, no, no, it did not.
Yeah, I really wonder what it is
I don't know if there's something wrong with me
But like I only keep stuff that really like moves me
Like if I got something and it felt like
It really like moved me
Then I'd keep that
But I don't know that I have that many
Moments
We just got to get him more things, Frankie
That's what he's saying
We want to get a more things is what he's saying
His birthday and Christmas
I'm like, what do you get the guy
That fucking got it all?
I don't know
I don't but I don't
I don't even like items.
Yeah, he doesn't like things.
I don't like items.
So we've got to get him experiences?
No.
You got to get him time.
Get him time.
You've always said that like one of your love languages is like quality time.
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Bring a sleeping bag and just show up to his place.
Be like, this is your gift.
I'll do that.
I'm going to stay here for a week and a half.
I'll tell you what.
You want to talk about a gift that would get thrown out immediately.
Here's my sleeping bag.
What?
sleeping back is cool i used to have a ton dude i used to sleep in a sleeping bag in my own home
that's sad no it was fun it was like camping oh okay but you can't you know i had a bed
i thought you were doing the whole like i slept on the floor for the first six years in my life
no no i would just i would sleep in the basement be like he's spreading lies about you no no i had a
bed but i would be like oh this is fun i'm camping and i'd fucking sleep in a sleeping bag in the basement
oh everyone used to do that yeah the only difference between us is i kept the sleeping bag
probably or a shred of it you know what this is this is a feather that was in the sleeping bag
i have i was just texting my brothers and sister about this yesterday you know what i actually
got a text from my sister the other day she sent a photo of this of this like uh poster of do you
remember like the first time that i ever hosted like a club night and they hit a poster yeah yeah it was
the night before thanksgiving wasn't it
Yeah. Oh, no, my mom sent it to me and she goes, I just found this. And she's like, do you want to keep it? I was like, no. I pulled this out of my one of my keepsake boxes the other day. It's my childhood pillowcase. I can't see. There's a glare. Send me that. Oh, it's just a pillowcase? Yeah. Send me that quick. It's a tune squad pillowcase. Why? I was going to send it a job. Oh, okay. It's, and, and, and, and, uh, like, I think. That's a cool pillowcase. Yeah, it was. The other side is the Monstars.
Did your blanket be monsters too?
What was that sentence?
My blanket be monsters too?
Did your blanket be monsters too?
Dude, look up the space jam bed spread.
I remember that.
Did you have that?
Yeah, that's what that is.
That's what that is.
So that's why I'm thinking about it because I remember that.
But I think about like, oh, my little childlike head laid on this.
Yeah.
Like, oh my God, this is a relic of time.
I could put my head on it.
And am I a kid again?
It's so funny because I don't have that because it's me.
Like, I would have that if it was like,
This is Abraham Lincoln's pipe, but you're like, this is...
I'd care less about it if, honestly, honestly.
I care less if it was Abraham Lincoln.
Really?
Yeah.
Because I don't give a fuck about him.
I'm not him.
He's not me.
I am him.
Let's be honest about that.
Oh.
I'm not him, though.
Yes.
You're not capital H.
No, no, no.
I am capital H.
No, because God is him.
Oh.
He has risen.
They...
It's 2025.
I don't know.
That is fair.
