Starting point is 00:00:08 On this episode of the commercial break. I'll Google it. I'll see if I can find anything about Hermann's. Hairmen. Hermann. Hairmen. Hermann. Hermanns.
Starting point is 00:00:18 I'll see if I can find anything about Hermanns. Because Hermans and Hermes are two different things. I think my grandpa used to shop at Hermanns. The Hermanns over GLP ones. Yeah. Hermann's, GOP1s. Why Brian 3,000? All right.
Starting point is 00:00:40 And, you know, the late. moisturizing gel. I don't forget what they call that, but the stuff you put in there and you're wet and ready to go. The next episode of the commercial break starts now. Go, sorry. Hats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian. This is my dear friend and the co-host of this show. Chris Joy, Holtley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. How the hell are you? Thanks for joining us. There we go. That looks better. Yeah, that was weird. And we were on opposite sides.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Well, I think I flipped it. I think I... Anyway, we're flipping all over the place. We're flipping out for you, the listeners. All right. Okay, we're here. We're back. When you're listening to this, if you're listening to this on the podcast version,
Starting point is 00:01:28 Chrissy and I are on our fifth vacation of the year. But, you know, we'll return soon. Don't worry about us. I think when you're listening to this, we'll be back next week on live, YouTube.com slash the commercial break. Don't forget about it. Okay, kids. Here's how goes. If you were listening earlier this week, you probably heard us talking to Alison Hare. Allison quickly deciphered that we have no strategy in our show. We do no research about our show. And we have no intention of being funny on our show.
Starting point is 00:01:57 I just let it fly. Yes. I think she was a little disappointed with our answers, actually. I think she was hoping we'd give some wisdom. Like magic formula. We do have a magic formula, but we're not giving it to you. Rikitty-tikiddy-tukety-togity. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. I play this game with my daughters, where I switch their personalities. So let's call them June and Jane. Uh-huh. So I'll be like, dibaldi-goggedy, bigidi-boo.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I'm going to switch Jane for you. And then I'll call the other one, Jane, and it just drives them up a wall. Daddy, I want to meet myself. That's fine. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, it's fun to psychologically terrorize my children. You have to entertain yourself. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:48 So just like that, we sometimes pretend we're a funny comedy podcast. We laugh at ourselves. We laugh at ourselves. And who fucking cares anyway. But I think Allison was a little disappointed by our... Wow. Our lack of wisdom. We were honest.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah, we didn't lie. We just said, what? I don't know. Glad you enjoy it. And one of the things she also... quickly deducted. I think a lot of you have deducted this is that the show is at its best when we're letting somebody else be funny. And there's only one name that comes to my, I mean, the commercial break in Frankie B will be tied and extrably in the universe as two peas in a pod.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Serendipity struck us early on with Frankie B. But as we mentioned with Allison, there are droughts and floods of Frankie B. Sometimes we get awash with new videos and then And there have been months, sometimes half a year, where there's nothing new from Frankie B. Or nothing that we see anyway. However, our fate, as luck would have it, our fate has changed, Chrissy. And we have now been blessed with another download an absolute gorge of new Frankie B videos. And this is very exciting news for all of us here at the commercial break, because it means we don't have to think of things to say. We can just watch Frankie B videos all day.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Frankie put out about six new videos in the last 30 days. Some of those, I think, are including a woman, maybe that he's dating. Okay. So, or it seems, maybe it's that same woman that we've seen in other videos of his that seems to be his friend, but they, like, talk about relationship stuff a lot. Yeah, she was involved in the salon suite. She was involved in a salon suite. Salon suite. I have a place right down the street called Salon Suite.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I've passed it. And also, anytime I pass, because they are, they're all. And so anytime I pass it, I think of him and how he started it or he thinks he started it. He thinks he started it. He really did. But he thinks, well, let him be. Leave him alone. He's getting old. He's like Trump. He's losing his mind. So Frankie is back better than ever, redder than ever. As Chrissy said to me earlier, you look tan. Well, so does Frankie. We're all looking tan these days. Why don't we just get to it? Because I think this is a 10-minute video. So the amount of times that we'd like, to interrupt, Frankie. This could take the entire episode. Why don't we just get right to it here in the first segment of the show. Look at us, breaking the moment. Let's just preface it, too, by saying. It looks like he's got a whole new intro. Oh, I can't see you. Oh, Krish. I know that happened yesterday with... Oh, Krishy. It's crazy. Krishy. I want Krishy. Here, let's see if we do this. Oh, there we go. Okay, yeah. Just make a song. Anyways, to preface this, he has a new intro, and he is on...
Starting point is 00:05:39 on a bright red scooter. Bright red scooter. You remember those spree scooters that used to be popular in the early 90s, the spree? I remember that my friend got one. And we were 12 or 13, and we would take that spree and drive around the neighborhood. And I crashed it. I crashed it. I crashed it.
Starting point is 00:06:01 The tailpipe landed on my leg. And it put a permanent scar on my leg. Yeah, that's painful. Yeah, it was, it felt bad. for many weeks. Okay, here's Frankie and his bright red scooter. Brand new intro. Looks like he's down in Florida.
Starting point is 00:06:14 He's ripping, rip-roaring around town. His spree. Shouldn't he have a motorcycle or something? You would think? All right. He's pulling out of his driveway. Nothing says bright red scooter like death metal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 He's got a bright red tank top, white shorts. Not the five-inch seam, the seven. and a half inch seam. Got to go all the way down to the knees when you get that old. And he's driving around. Remember, do you remember Ed, Big Ed with the big neck? He used to drive around a scooter around San Diego with his dog in the back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:56 This is what this reminds me of. Wow. Wow. How does he get that close up and look at those glasses? I don't. I have no idea. How does he get the close up of his face while he's riding? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Oh, my God. There we go. Look at that. God. Whoa. Gold chain. Black, dark black glasses that could be women's. Yeah, gold rims sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Yeah, I mean, I don't fault them for the women's sunglasses. Sometimes, you know, men have cool sweaters and boxer shorts that women like to wear. And sometimes women, ladies have accoutreement that men like to wear. But this is ill-fitting and it looks terrible. How do you like my sunglasses? Slick back hair. I borrowed them from my daughter. Why such a long intro?
Starting point is 00:07:58 Is anybody really that interested in Frankie on his bright red scooter? Except us. Yeah, that's right. Bebeep. Oh, testosterone arrived. For those of you listening, he pulls up to his house, a house, pulls up to his house in his bright red scooter. He's a real Francis Ford Coppola. He's making a video here.
Starting point is 00:08:24 He's got the shot of him pulling in the driveway And now he's picking up a package from his front door Wow Boner pills are here Why Ryan 3,000 Why Ryan 3,000 About damn time So I have been waiting for this for a very long time
Starting point is 00:08:42 He still is my girlfriend I took a longer No no no on the beard On the beard, no no Some people can pull this off When you have light colored hair Well it's gray It's, well, it's gray, but it's like, it's bleached by the sun, too.
Starting point is 00:08:57 He's got dark hair and bleached beard. So it doesn't look like a beard. It looks like, I don't know. Whisper. Yeah, like you take that magic powder stuff. Yeah, just put it on your face. Time than I expected to get delivered. However, gentlemen, in that box, I'm going to show you how you can up your styling game over the age of 60.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Oh, back to the car. Okay, now we're back to the original intro. Why do we have two intros on this video? We are so lucky. So lucky. Him working out. Him playing golf. Beautiful woman walking on.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Big boobs doing his skincare routine. What do they call that? Parasailing. So I'm excited and I'm actually excited for all of you to see what my new styling tip is for men in their 60s. Wait, you're excited to, there's a styling tip inside that box? They send them via boxes now, the styling tips? First of all, second of all, Frankie, where's your personality go?
Starting point is 00:10:08 What's going on? He's usually all hyped up and hipped up. I know. It's early in the day. Maybe he hasn't, maybe it's a morning shoot. Yeah, he hasn't done any bumps yet. It is most definitely shoes. And why.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Choose. Choose. I got shoes. Do you have shoes? Do you choose your shoes in the morning? That does not look like the same box he picked up. That was a small box. That box was tiny and this box is big.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's my magic box. It's literally a dick that grows in a box. Dick in a box. Because the first thing that everybody notices about a man, a well-dressed man, is his shoes. Nope, nope. Not right. Not correct, Frankie. You missed the mark out of that one.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Not right. I'm sure it's one of the things that get noticed, but we tend to go head down when we're looking at people. When we're looking at new people, new faces, when we're sizing them up, it's a scientific fact. You go head down. And guys stop at the tits. Girls may go down to the shoes. But that's human nature in general. We don't look at our shoes first.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I don't care what anybody tells you. If you got sharp shoes on, that's the number one thing that people look at. So today, let's see these shoes. Look at my Nikes! I purchased or I received my Hermanns. Well, did these are... Hermens! Her men's!
Starting point is 00:11:34 Did he say her men's? No, let's go back. I purchase or I received my Hermanns. Now, her men's! Is that true? Oh my God. He purchased a... or received.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Oh, my God. Her men's. Frankie B. I mean, Sean says, who's hot? Who not? Frankie B. On the block. Oh, no, he says South Georgia, Sean.
Starting point is 00:12:06 What's up, South Georgia, Sean? He's in the chat. I see Jenny there, too. Hey, Jenny. These are gym shoes. Oh, they make gym shoes? Her men's? Her men's?
Starting point is 00:12:17 Maybe it's a different brand. Maybe we're not, maybe it's not Armez. Yeah. The gym, he have no interest. These gym shoes in this box are a fashion statement. All right. You wear these with nice slacks,
Starting point is 00:12:32 nice shirt. I'm going to show you how these could look shortly here. But I want to talk about... Is he doing an unboxing? Is he doing a whole video, video, fucking video on his airmen's? Are we really, Frankie?
Starting point is 00:12:49 Oh, this is going to be good. Brand name. In wearing brand name shoes versus the, you know, the everyday shoes. Now, obviously, these shoes that I'm going to show you, these are just shy. Look at him shaking his head. I know. These shoes, and I'm going to show you, are basically pussy in a box.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Okay? Make no mistake about it. First thing I do is I walk in and I show my shoes. I walk in feet first. I show my shoes. And I say, hey, ladies, you like the shoes? Check out my cock. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Frankie V. of $1,300, okay? Holy shit, there, Hermes. Holy shit. $1,300 fucking dollars on a pair of shoes. Didn't he say they're gym shoes? Yeah, he's going to wear him at the fucking gym? I object on principle alone.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I object on principle alone. This is ridiculous, Frankie. You're telling men they've got to buy $1,300 shoes in order to be in the same rarefied air as you? What? Salon suites cannot be. paying that good. It just cannot. To my knowledge, you only have two locations. Two. And they're paying you 50 bucks a week or something? There's no way. Well, I'm going to tell you something right now. My fiancé. She found these. Fiancees. What? Get ass. I get ass.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Woo! Frankie! Frankie! Oh my God, Frankie. I'm so excited for you. Best to you Best to you Good job, Frankie Wow He locked one down Look at that All these years
Starting point is 00:14:37 All that drama with the divorce And the cheating And the girlfriend And the young girl It was out there clubbing it up With other people And all that stuff
Starting point is 00:14:46 Seven years later You finally locked it down I imagine She's the one Who bought the shoes for you Because I can't imagine And it seems like Frankie's moved down to Florida
Starting point is 00:14:56 For those of you listening it appears that Frankie has moved down to Florida. This may be part of the reason we have not seen videos lately. Florida or another tropical place. Yeah, tropical place. It's got to be Florida. I mean, he lived in Chicago. That's where Chicago people go.
Starting point is 00:15:09 They go to Florida. They don't know anything else. eBay. She found them for $350 now. Okay. I wouldn't, I just would have left that part out, Frankie. Why are you saying that? She found him on eBay.
Starting point is 00:15:27 $350. See my Rolex watch? Paid 30 bucks for it. Fifth in Broadway. That's not what you say. You don't say that. A lot of you are looking at me right now going, man, you're crazy. Who's going to spend $350 on gym shoes?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Well, I am. Okay. Your fiancé did. Yeah, your fiance did. $1,300 on Jim Shoes? Absolutely, because it is a fashion statement. You would have paid full price? I think he said passion statement.
Starting point is 00:15:58 It's a passion statement. They're Hermann. They're Hermann. Who doesn't want some Hermanns? God bless her men. He's got to know that's not the way you say. No, I guess not. Unless we are missing something here and there's some kind of colloquial like men, when men by Hermes, they say Hermanns, right?
Starting point is 00:16:19 And so I'm going to Google that while we take. He said Hermanns. He said Hermanns. The way it's spelled. Yeah, her men's. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll leave it there.
Starting point is 00:16:29 We'll take a quick break. I'll Google it. I'll see if I can find anything about Hermann's. Hairmen. Hairmen. Hairmen. Hermanns. I'll see if I can find anything about Hermanns.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Because Hermanns and Hermes are two different things. I think my grandpa used to shop at Hermanns. The Hermanns over GLP ones. Yeah. Hermanns, GLP ones. Why buy it 3,000? Yeah. All right. And, you know, the lady moisturizing gel. I don't forget what they call that, but the stuff you put in there and you're wet and ready to go.

Starting point is 00:17:43 That really wasn't that difficult. Now was it? You're welcome. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Best to you. Okay, I see something about a guy named Joe Hermann's.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Hermann's, Hermann, who was a runner. Oh. So maybe. He worked for Nike. He worked for Nike. Did he charge $1,300 for his shoes? I can't imagine. Because that box looks like Hermes.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It does. It's the exact same color as Hermes. Do they really sell? I guess they do. I mean, now all these brands sell everything, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hermes.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Hold on. Just one second. Let me get to the bottom of this. They're verifying my device. They're in Paris. Set my cookies. Refuse all. I like to do that.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I'm dangerous. Women's shoes, men's shoes. They do sell sports shoes. Okay. Like athletic shoes. What's the price? For $1,400. Really?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Yes. Okay. So this is another brand. Yes. Okay. Wow. All right. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Let's see what Frankie has to say about. Yes. Let's get into it. There's a lot about a man. And that's what I want to do. So, okay, in the box, I mean, right away, we start out with this. What does it say? Why is he doing this?
Starting point is 00:19:30 Why? This is the dumbest unboxing video over. Okay, we've all had a pair of shoes before, Frankie. You're going to show us how to lace them up to? Listen, what does a pair of Air Med's shoes say about, sneakers say about a man? I'll tell you what it says about a man. You're not focused on the right shit where you have entirely too much money that you do dumb shit with. Shoes are like cars.
Starting point is 00:19:54 The second you start walking in them, they're worth less. And no one fucking cares. Unless you're going to the goddamn Met Gala or Cannes Film Festival, or a wedding or something like that, you wear a pair of nice shoes. Of course you do. I have a couple pairs of really nice shoes. None of them cost me more than $300. No. None of them are worth more than $300.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Let's put it that way. And I can't see myself wanting to spend $1,400 on shoes. Right. Though these are good looking. I will say that. Let's see what he's got. And what the cards is? From her men's.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Okay, I'm not really sure what this is, nor do I want to read it right now. That's why you to talk about it? Okay, let's start here. It comes with this card. I can't read. Let's not worry about that. It'll really know what this is. Yeah, I don't need it.
Starting point is 00:20:44 What is that? That could be a card that's got $5,000 worth of gift certificate on it. Frankie, read it. We want to see. What I love, I love their packaging. A piece of paper I love their packaging with the shoe paper that every box, every shoe has ever come in.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I love it. It's great. Okay, obviously, you know, their shoes are well packed. And these are nice bags. Shoe bags, Frankie. That's what they're called. You can get those with a $100 pair of shoes, but. You know, for travel. All right, let's check these out.
Starting point is 00:21:21 All right. So now this is the Hermanns. Hermes, Hermes. You don't, the H is silent and there is no N in it. Why are you saying Hermes? Jim's shoe, all right? For all of you. We've got a big H.
Starting point is 00:21:39 He's got a big H on the side rolling down the bottom. Do you have to say, they're good-looking shoes. I'll give them that. But white, honestly, Frankie. $1,500 shoes, tax tag and title, that you buy. bought in white. In white. They're ruined within a day.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Yeah, I thought they were going to have a design or something on them. Those are not shoes you put in the wash. Of designer brands. This is definitely one of the hottest brands out there. Okay, you can see when you take a stuff. How do you know that, Frankie? Who's telling you about the hottest friends out there? I guess it's fiancé.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah. I actually think I have. Fiance. I wonder how old she is. I wonder what she looks like. Oh, I know. We've got it. Got to go through these videos.
Starting point is 00:22:23 When we get back from our collective vacationing, we're going to start rolling through Frankie videos one a week until we get through them. And let's hope they keep coming because then those are the golden days of the commercial break. I don't feel like I need to do any prep whatsoever. Just watch Frankie. I remember sometimes we were doing like three of these videos a day. Yeah, there were so many to get through.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And they were so funny. Yeah, they all were. I wonder myself about this particular video. I wonder, well, now I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say it. Okay, all right, let's get back to it. I think I own an Aramez shirt, actually, like a T-shirt. I think if I remember correctly, it cost me like $320. It's expensive. It's an expensive brand. I just saw it the other day in my drawer, and I thought, wow, I spent so much money on that shirt, I probably should wear it. Yes. But then I felt like a douchebag wearing the shirt, a T-shirt with the Hermes logo on it, right? I'm going to Spain. I thought, I'll bring my Armes. That's the place I should go and bring me. Armez. But then, you know, Hermes t-shirt with shorts and flip-flops. I just look like a shitty American. Like, I'm an influencer about to pull out my camera. You know, the Hermanns from the backside. Oh, my God. Okay, now I'm really annoyed. Now this is like blues barking.
Starting point is 00:23:38 It's not Hermanns. There's no N in Hermes. Have it, the H from the front, and then you also have it from the back. Okay. Okay. I love. I love the black stripe. A super. He made this into an eight-minute video.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I know. I love the laces. They keep the shoes on your feet. I love those. I love the top of the shoe and the bottom of the shoe. And what was the name of this video? Wasn't it like tips for men over 60? I mean, and it's just all about a shoe unboxing.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yes. Okay. Hold on. Sean says he makes shoes out of banana leaves and bird feathers. Nice. Okay, Sean, if that is a true statement, I want a pair of those. I will wear them on air. Clean, look, stylish, you know, anybody, what a sense of fashion,
Starting point is 00:24:34 they're instantly going to know this brand. So guys, you know, what? What? Anybody, first of all, what is the decor that's going on in the background? I was going to say, what is going on in the background? What is that? Two whack-off hands?
Starting point is 00:24:48 I know. It does look back. Wow, things are getting freaky in that house. Go ahead and fuck my statue. That's my statue. Go ahead and fuck it. Yeah, with the fake ivy and the, I don't know. And what is that big grate behind him?
Starting point is 00:25:07 I don't know. Why is he living? Now I want to know. Before I get into showing you the outfit, a couple of quick things here. Man. Yeah, that's like an air conditioning. Look, the air conditioning's in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Why? What is going on? Who puts their air conditioning on their patio and then decorates it? It's around it. I mean, I guess if you have an air conditioning on your patio, maybe you do want to decorate it. It's complicated. But not with those hands. Yeah, not with the whack-off hands.
Starting point is 00:25:39 He has two statues sitting on top of a decorated air conditioner, an air conditioner that's like in a decorative box. And then the two statues on top are wooden whack-off hand. They're in the whack-off position. Everybody in the world knows. The little whack-off hand is make that times two, cut it off at the wrists, make it a statue and put it on top of your air conditioning. And whatever you get pissed because your AC ain't working, you go outside and you go outside and you, fuck it!
Starting point is 00:26:06 Fuck you! Style is not complicated. It's about details. It's about showing your detail, and your footwear is where it all starts. Your shoes are the first thing that people subconsciously look and... I love me. It, like, points to the care. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yes. But subconsciously, they think about your shoes first, and then your dick second. That's how it goes. Shoes, dick, brain. That's how people think about you. And anybody with a sense of style is going to know automatically how big your dick is based on your airmen's shoes. Herman's shoes. First of all, second of all, Frank.
Starting point is 00:26:48 is so incredibly dark-skinned with this tan that the camera cannot pick up decipherable features on his face. No. So it just looks like a black spot on the... Wow. See. I'm kind of jealous. Look at that receding hair line.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Oh, I thought he had a whole hair transplant. He did. Remember Frankie's follicles. Frankie's follicles. He had a whole hair transplant, not but two years ago. Yeah. Oh, man, that sucks. We walked with him through that journey.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Through that whole process. That's right. Didn't we? We did. Yes, we did. We did. He documented the whole thing of his hair transplant. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I guess it didn't take. Hey, it's me. He's so much. I was there for about a year. He said, this guy's a real fucking moron. It's whack off hand. Offhand. That's where I'm living now.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I mean, I'm not saying, but I'm saying, if you're looking for some extra follicles, I can jump on over and help you. Thanks, Mr. Follico. No problem. In a man. You know, it says that you take care of yourself, that you do have style, that you pay attention to detail. A clean, stylish gym shoe. He's so impressed with himself about this video and how profound his statement.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And once again, he's doing her men's shoes. Yeah, he's holding the camera in his hand and it's at the wrong angle. Yeah. You can't go under. But then I guess with that hair, you probably don't want to go. top either. Yeah, not a good look. It's terrible.
Starting point is 00:28:48 It's terrible. Listen, we all age. We get older. We look different. I don't, you know, I'm not going to bust on him too much. But this is not the best we've ever seen Frankie look. Let's put it that way. It's raw. It's real. It's sunlight. He doesn't have that manufactured lighting that he has sometimes. When we first saw Frankie, you could call him a lot of things. You could say a lot of things about Frankie, but he was a handsome looking older guy. He was, well, he had his, like you said, he had his lighting and his curtain and his, like, yeah, screen in the background.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Like, he had his little professional bedroom setup. He was fit. He was fresh. He looked good. Yeah. Yeah, he was looking good. He's on island time now. He is on island time.

Starting point is 00:30:05 That really wasn't that difficult, now was it? You're welcome. I walked in the door to grab a latte. I paid $10, heard Arianna Grand A. But then I saw him and his big dog. I felt my knees weak. Here came the brain ball. And though I'm not gay, you make me feel that way.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I hope it never ends. My new Starbucks boyfriend. All my toes curl. All the feels come. My world of gold, you are my shining sun. We love to talk sports and swimming pools. You like the patio. I like the bar stools.
Starting point is 00:31:05 And we spill tea and we crochet. The other tables might think we're gay. I don't really care. I hope it never ends. You're my best Starbucks boyfriend. And though we're still straight, you make me feel a certain way. I hope it never ends. My new Starbucks boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:31:38 And no, I'm not gay. You make me feel that way. I hope it never ends. My new Starbucks boyfriend. How is the boyfriend, by the way? He's good. I just saw him a couple hours ago, actually. He's good.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Reconnected. Yeah, we haven't had a lot of time to see each other because of all the travel. And now I'm going to be gone for a couple of weeks. So, but I still feel like our relationship is going strong. Okay, good. I don't feel like there's a rift. You can do long distance. Yeah, we have to do long distance at this point.
Starting point is 00:32:09 I'll call them every morning and, you know, which will be his afternoon and we'll have coffee together. I told them, I said, I'll go to Starbucks in Spain and then, you know, you go to Starbucks here. And then it's actually, when I'm waking up to have Starbucks in Spain, it's going to be two in the morning here. So I don't think that's going to work out. But all right, we're back with Frankie and his Herman's shoes. shoes. It's Hermans. Let's see what's going on with this Herman's shoes.
Starting point is 00:32:36 This guy has a shit put together. However, this guy is so fucking good. This guy. When you see my shoes, you're going to go, that guy. That guy's got it all. He's top of his class. He's the best business guy I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:32:53 And he's got Herman's shoes on. Yeah. Here's the problem, Frankie. Someone compliments of you on your shoes and you go, they're hermins. Yeah, you're done. The hermins. That's it. Yeah, you're done.
Starting point is 00:33:05 You got to learn how to say it, bro. I hope this video gets to you before you make an idiot of yourself. Some shoes, they say just the opposite. Let's go inside. Let me put a outfit together. I got one in mine. Let's go inside. And I want to show you.
Starting point is 00:33:18 How? I have no idea. It's like a combination of metal and green and wood. There's like a canopy type thing. There's a TV. I guess it's their little outdoor space. I mean, this is South Florida all the way. You see this kind of shit in South Florida.
Starting point is 00:33:35 There's whole companies that are dedicated toward making your patio look as gaudy as possible. But I'm not saying it's terrible. I'm saying it wouldn't be for me, but if I was renting it, maybe. But why all the metal coming out? Like maybe it's just a canopy, like a hurricane-proof canopy. I don't know. Good looking gym shoes can totally make your outfit. All right, gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. Here's Frankie standing in front of a mirror through the mirror shot. That mirror is straight out of the Oval Office. Mirror is straight out of the oval office. Yeah, gold, ornate, gold.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Ornate, gold. And we can see back into the room. I mean, hey, okay. It looks like a cool place here. Yeah, it looks like Frankie's doing well for himself. I don't know if he's renting. I don't know what the deal is here. He's got his camera on a gimbal because.
Starting point is 00:34:27 because he's the he's the Francis Ford Coppola old influencers What do you think? All right Today I dressed in black on black I chose to wear my shirt
Starting point is 00:34:41 outside of my pants because when you're wearing gym shoes I usually don't put my shirt inside of my pants I see what he's saying tucked in is the appropriate word for it
Starting point is 00:34:52 but okay listen not the worst outfit in the world no not and he's got some kind of exclamation about untucking when wearing gym shoes. Okay, let's see her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Being designer gym shoes, all right, you can't, you know, tuck your shirt in. It has to be more of a casual style. And anybody who knows anything about style, they're going to know her men's. They're going to know. They're going to know hermins. They're not going to know hermins. They're not. That's the problem, Frankie.
Starting point is 00:35:28 It's not Hermann's. It's not Hermann's. That's not how you say it. Oh, my God, that's crazy. I'm just driving me insane, Frankie. I thought at first you just might have misspoke it, as sometimes we do say, but you've said it now 30 times. And it's the same thing. And listen, I don't, you know, I just- You think his fiancee would know. Yes, you think that somebody in his orbit would stop him from being an idiot. Like, hey, dude, Air-Mez. Yeah. Air-Mez. Even Ir-Mez. But not, there's no H and it's not Hermans. That doesn't sound. There's no N in Hermes. That, you know, you're dressing fashionably, all right? Even wearing black on black with gym shoes, it just gives you an entire, different look. You're out.
Starting point is 00:36:17 You're out for lunch. You're out in everyday lifestyle. You're out. You're out. What do I do? What do I go to lunch? You're riding your scooter around. People are looking and you going, wow, check out those Herman shoes. And by the way, black on black, while not a bad choice in this particular outfit situation, is the most uncomfortable thing you could wear in South Florida, by the way. Black on black wouldn't get you very far down there. He changed his hair. He did. Yeah, he took the ponytail out. It's a great look. You know what? You want to roll your sleeves up? Roll your sleeves up. You want to tuck it in? I mean, you can. I choose to wear. You would have to tuck it in? I mean, I would. Yeah, permission granted, Chrissy. Go ahead. Do it. It's not for me, but you can go ahead.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Oh, yeah, that's belt buckle. I got that. I got that from Trump.com. From channel. Channel. It's channel. I got that from Louis Button. Check out my Louis Button. You know, a Gucci belt. I mean, can this look good?
Starting point is 00:37:38 You know, with a Gucci belt? Absolutely. Absolutely. You kept this in suspense there for a second. By the way, which one of your followers is sitting there dressing along with you? I know, you know, it most definitely. will work. But for today, I like it outside the pants. Okay. Welcome to style. Welcome to style.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Anybody that knows it. Welcome to Pussy City. Hey, hey, all right. Oh, now he's gone back. Oh, he's gone back. It was red tank top. Look at that. It's, you listen, is that a, is that someone playing golf in the back? There's a golf statue in the background? Oh, there is a golf statue. That's a weird, that's an odd choice. There's a four-foot golfing statue behind him with a mid-swing. Mid-swing with a full-sized golf club. Look at that. Wow.
Starting point is 00:38:39 All right. Like the outfit? All right. Just something that I threw together real quick. You see. Just threw it together real quick. Took me two weeks to plan it out. I had to call Ermans and see what they would suggest.
Starting point is 00:38:57 I had to bruise eBay. Did you read your card yet, though, Frankie? It's the question. How those shoes can work. Now, honestly, there's a lot of men out there that, first of all, they're not going to spend that type of money on gym shoes. But what's an option? Well, I got one right here. Now, these are worn.
Starting point is 00:39:17 I just been back from vacation. Here's another option. Are you ever not on vacation? I'm just back. These have been worn back from vacation. worn. That's what shoes are supposed to do. They're supposed to be worn. That's why it's ridiculous unless you're specifically going to an event where your shoes will be noticed and they should be nice and you should be wearing something appropriate. Like if you go to a business meeting and
Starting point is 00:39:41 you're with a bunch of other business executives and it's high dollar deals and it's a big deal, I can see going out and spending some real money on nice shoes. Sure. Every man should. That you'll wear a lot. Every man should have two pairs of really nice dress shoes brown or dark brown and black really nice shoes like go spend three or four hundred dollars on them and then i i probably have 30 20 30 pairs of shoes i would say most of them under a hundred dollars right most of them 20 to 30 pairs of shoes i do yeah well most of them sandals actually is what they are flip lots let's be honest about it that's why they're under a hundred i was trying if i have 30 pairs of shoes i don't think yeah i do i think i've i think i have 30 pairs of shoes
Starting point is 00:40:26 So I probably seven of those are sandals or flip flops in different varieties and flavors and forms. I really only wear two of them, but they're there in case I need them. And then I have all different flavors of shoes. I have casual dress up. I have sneakers. I have whatever. And I like to, you know, mix and match. But I'm not spending $1,500 on a pair of shoes because I wear them.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I don't just keep them in my closet. I go out and I put them on. They're Nike. I would have preferred to have. He said they're Nike. Oh, my God. No. Did he really say that?
Starting point is 00:40:56 Yes. He can't be mispronouncing Nike. How is it possible for you to mispronounce like this? Nike. He's, you know, the insignia over here in the black, but unfortunately, I couldn't find it. You know, guys, this is another option. The Nike. You know, it's more affordable.
Starting point is 00:41:18 I believe these were $128. That's pretty specific. That is pretty specific. $128. How didn't you remember that? Well, Nike. Yeah, Nike, they're my Nike shoes. Well, you know, those Nike rip-offs, they tend to be a little bit less expensive than the Nikes. When I purchased this, so it's just another option. So I hope you like today's styling tips for, you know, guys in their 60s. How, you know, you can wear fashionable gym shoes. What exactly was the style?
Starting point is 00:41:56 There is no styling tip. Hermends. Wear nice shoes. Okay, we get it. Don't wear fucking, you know, disgusting shoes. Yeah, don't. But you don't have to go spend $1,500 on it. First of all, second of all, listen, you know, my Starbucks boyfriend, he's in his 60s. He's in his 60s. He dresses nice. He's got Lululummon, you know, casual clothes. He's got, you know, nice shoes. He wears a cat, ball cap sometimes. He's got glasses or sunglasses. He wears nice. But I don't see him with Hermann's. Now he drives in a very nice car, two of them, really. but, you know, that's where he chooses to spend his money. Yeah. But it's, it's, it's not practical to put $1,500 shoes on in a casual setting. It's just not practical. Just to go about your lifestyle. Yeah, just to go about your life style. Going out to a monster event and wearing gym shoes, but in your, your everyday casual life,
Starting point is 00:42:48 going out for, you know, casual dinners. It's a nice outfit. I'm not a big believer. In blue jeans, in fact, I hate blue jeans. I think they're real, regardless of whether you believe in them or not. Yeah, I like tank tops. I like red tank tops and spree scooters on a Tuesday afternoon with my ermine's shoes. Sometimes I put on my nikes, but mainly it's my ermines.
Starting point is 00:43:14 By the way, you don't believe in jeans. They exist. You either like them or you don't like them. Listen, I'm starting to sour a little bit on jeans also, if I'm being honest. I think there are plenty of people who look good in them. They are, I've been going through this gene phase for about a decade now, or I really like jeans. I like to wear them. I wear them a lot of times on the shoe.
Starting point is 00:43:36 I mean, on the shoe on the show. I'm thinking about the shoes. On the show. But I've made the decision that I don't, I can't really find a pair of jeans that I think are stylish in 2026 that look good on my particular body style, which is flat and like this. Like two tubes just coming down. So I like slacks because I think they're just better fitting. And so I think that's the direction I'm going to have. I'm just letting everybody know that.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Big announcement here on the show. Styling tip. Styling tip. A siling tip for you. Like, you know, to wear a dress pants. And I think this is a great option. One that you should most definitely explore. All right, guys, if you did enjoy the video, I asked that you...
Starting point is 00:44:20 I can't imagine how you would enjoy the video, unless you were making fun of it, like we are. Hit that like button and subscribe to my channel for all guys in their 60s who want up their game look and feel better about themselves and grooming, fitness fashion, and most definitely lifestyle. Lifestyle. There it is. We've been waiting for it all video.
Starting point is 00:44:44 He pulled it in in the end. He gave us the greatest hits that we were looking for. We got the original OG intro. As well as an additional intro. An additional intro. We got two intros. The first four and a half minutes of this five-minute video were the intro. Then we got an unboxing video that made very little to no sense.
Starting point is 00:45:03 And then he did his greatest hit, which is lifestyle, fitness, fashion, and fun. Oh, Frankie. It's good to see you again. Oh, Frankie. I love you. In the next video. His face. His encore was incredible.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Well, let's go back and see the odd court. I'm Frank Bernardo. I'll see all of you in the next video. It's like he was going to throw up. He's like, look at those eyes. I don't think they can close. I think the Botox has got them, actually. It's the problem with Botox all the time around the eyes and the eyelids or whatever you're doing, the eyelid lift or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:45:46 The problem is your eyes really start to sink in the back of your head. And if you look at them right, look at those beady little eyes just coming out of the eyes. just coming out of those huge sockets. He's having a hard time closing his eyes like a natural human being. Listen, I love it. I love it. I love everything about Frankie. I could do this all day long. I'm so glad. I've missed him. I did. You know, it's like an old friend. You want to see what they're up to. You want to hang out with them. You know, you know who I probably need to catch up with and I was thinking about this is I probably need to catch up with or get a story from Marlon. You know, that is so funny. You said I was going to ask you yesterday about him. And I couldn't remember his name, but I was thinking the exact same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Have you? No. It's been years. Okay. We had that whole string of stories that was going along there for a while. Then it kind of came to an abrupt end. And my belief was that she started to become aware, like the person that he was dating started to become aware that there was like this was happening. And I don't, I don't know, but I'd like to get an update from him. So I should text it.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Yeah, I just feel bad because, you know, I took his whole life and put it out there on a commercial break. But you gave him a Marlin name. I gave him Marlin. Yeah, nowhere close to his real name. But, you know, maybe it's time to do a little check-in, see how he is. We're going to do a mountain monsters when we return. I've got one in the can for you. We're going to ease back in.
Starting point is 00:47:09 The first half of the year, I mean, just be honest about it. First half of the year has been a little rough for the commercial break with the production schedule. And that's not because we don't love you. We do love you. But there have been changes inside and outside of the room that we're trying to accommodate on all fronts. And that's the reasons that we don't need to get into. Those are between Chrissy and I. But just no.
Starting point is 00:47:31 That sounded funny. Did. Between Chrissy and I. It's between Chrissy and I. It's our lifestyle. It's our lifestyle. Our lifestyle is the problem. I've had a pretty raging cocaine issue.
Starting point is 00:47:46 You dip back to do it. Yeah. Chrissy and Joe. Opened up their own sex dungeon. Yeah. Yeah. We're side hustling. Jeff is dressed up like a dog and Chrissy's leading him around the house.
Starting point is 00:47:58 They're into some stuff, okay? Listen, the commercial break doesn't pay all the bills. You've got to get out there and do some other stuff. We're doing the best we can. We're doing the best they can. We're all trying. Hey, Frankie, keep them coming, baby. We love you.
Starting point is 00:48:14 You know we're here for you. It's like I said yesterday on the show with Allison. And I said there was a moment there. And I almost remember it. The funny thing is, if I go back and I listen to a Frankie B episode that we did, I can almost remember word for word every single punchline. That's how point, I mean, honestly, most episodes are like that. For some reason, they get stuck in my mind.
Starting point is 00:48:34 But I can almost remember the moment that I started to go from really thinking Frankie was just a big fucking dumb dumb, into like having some kind of appreciation for him. Yeah. And I think that's when I realized. He's got a place in our hearts. Yeah, he was doing 50% of our content for us. I think that's when I started. That's Frankie.
Starting point is 00:48:57 All right. Well, listen, if you, like I said, those are listening on the RSS feed. We will be back next week with live shows. If you're streaming this right now for the next couple of weeks, we're going to be off. You're going to be hearing these episodes that have been streaming, rolling out over the next couple of weeks.

We want you to have fitness, fashion, fun, and lifestyle. So what else can I say? That was just such a great Friday. It's a palate cleanser. It's good. pallet cleansing for all the craziness coming up over the next couple of weeks for all of us. It was something else that I wanted to say, but now I can't remember. Nope, nothing.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Not coming to me. Not a word. Not a word. Thanks for everybody that joined us in the streaming. Yeah, thanks for everybody joining us in the streaming. Yeah, there's been a lot of people in and out of the stream this week. Thanks for hanging in there when we were on with Allison. Allison made it five hours of her seven hours.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, okay. Still pretty good. Yeah. Still pretty good. To talk five hours straight. See, the thing is, is I think Allison, you know, I think that imitation is a serious form of flattery. I think Allison took our idea and thought, well, I could do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And I can appreciate that. But what Allison didn't realize, what everybody else who may have listened to realize, is that we actually didn't go 12 hours in a row. No. We took breaks for like 30 and 40 minutes at a time over the course of that day. Talking for five straight hours, that's got to be difficult. It's got to. It's got to. Yeah, five straight.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Five straight. Yeah, because we had stuff in the can that we would put out. Yes. So we did 12, we aired 12 continuous hours. Well, the interviews that we did, we entered, we went live show interview, live show interview. Live show interview. And we did that 13 times, actually. So we ended up doing seven hours, seven episodes that day, which was good.
