#483 - There's Human DNA In Hot Dogs
01:03:34 Share

Welcome back to the base- Welcome back to the basement yard. My co-host is over here. It's about to suck his pinky. What is he- what are you doing over there? Oh, careful. You decided to dress like a fucking Christmas tree today? Why are you starting every episode like you're yelling at me? I don't know. I gotta be honest. I gotta be- I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Forgive me. You want to start over? I'll start. Let me open. Go, go, go, go, go. Josh, keep this in. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah? I want to see how fucking- you're so angry these days. I'm not. I'm not.

It's the most wonderful time of the year Sang by Andy Williams, not Bing Crosby, he's a bad guy

Yeah. Well, Andy Williams may have done... I'm sure all of them did some shit. I'm sure they were all swinging. You... Forget swinging. Like, oh, you mean swinging. Yeah, no, not like swinging like you and my keys. Well, they were probably doing that too. I don't know. Oh, swinging. I thought you meant dancing. Oh, I thought you meant fucking... Now we have three definitions of swinging.

I thought you meant like fucking each other's friends and shit like that. Oh, well, probs. You think they were doing all that? I think so. Weren't they all messing with their secretaries back then? Well, yeah, but that was like, they believed that. That was what men are meant to do. Cigarettes, whiskey during the day, having sex with the secretary. I'll be honest with you. The drinking during the day...

Whiskey during the, when light is out is kind of wild. Really? Yeah, that's crazy. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I hate it. Really? I don't think I've ever had whiskey when the sun was up. Oh, man. That wasn't mixed with shit. Well, yeah, exactly. A Jack and Coke doesn't count. But like drinking like a whiskey neat is bananas and the sun is out?

Uh, yeah, you need to put an ice cube or two in that. Although, you know, like people get into the whole, like you're ruining it. I drink everything. Oh, not everything. But like I drink with actually, I guess everything except wine with the ice cube.

Water too? Like if you get a cup of water with ice cubes. I do too, but I'm saying like if someone gives you a cup of water, would you like with ice or without ice? You'd prefer with? Oh, I'm not going to make them do an extra. I mean, it's just right there. It's just right there. I know, but I'm not going to ask. I'm just going to say, can I have a cup of water? Yeah, I don't know. Although if I'm at your house, not your house, but anybody's house, and I ask for a cup of water and you hand me room temperature water,

This is a pigsty. Really? Yeah, that's insane. Really? Make it cold. Bro, do you know that I met people in my life that prefer room temperature water? I don't mind it. What are they, lizards? What is that? I guess so. I guess so. I'm not staking my flag in any part of the ground here. I don't feel any particular way about the temperature of water. The water should be on the colder side. I'm not saying it has to be freezing cold, but like-

You're going to hand me room temperature water like I'm drinking out of the toilet? Too cold, though? It hurts my throat. Yeah, don't go too cold because then my throat gets too cold and I could track the water go down my esophagus into my stomach. I don't like that. I do that with coffee pretty much every day. You drink hot coffee and it's like, I could feel it. Really? I was just going to ask a stupid question, but I shouldn't, right? Right. No, you should. Okay. Water goes into your stomach?

Where else would it go? I don't know. Like, it gets like... You know how there's like leach fields and stuff like that? I'm like... No, I don't. Never heard of a leach field? No. Well, because at the lake house, we had septic tanks, which... Frank, you're a human being. You're not a septic tank. Listen to me. First of all, you asked the right people. Depending on what I eat, I am a septic tank, okay? That is fair. You know, we all are sometimes. But...

When we were setting up the septic tank, septic tanks are meant to just house solids. Like the liquids, if it houses liquids, it could fill up prematurely and, you know, it's not a good system. So you install something called a leach field. So it's like a tube that comes off of your sewage line. So like...

just go into the ground. I think that everything goes into the stomach and then it kind of like goes. But I'm saying like, I would imagine this would be, hold on. This might be, I guess I can't pitch this invention to anyone because we're all made by the same creator. You're also getting things wrong. So I don't know that you're inventing it. But like, what if we changed our bodies? So like when you drink water, it like. Oh, you want to reinvent the human body? Go ahead.

I'm just saying, wouldn't it make more sense if water didn't go in our stomach and it like, the stomach was just like only for solids and water seeped into other stuff. I agree. Well, I think that it should just be spread out. Yes. Like my arms, my hands, my legs. Yes, yes. Right? Like everything's right here. That shouldn't, that is poor design. Hey, God, I know you're watching because you're always watching. You, Santa Claus. And that's it. And the devil? And big, yeah.

And my grandma. I get grandma. Big brother. The five parties that are always watching. The birds. Wait, the big birds too? Yeah. So six. That's the government. The birds. Big brother. Big brother is the government. Oh, okay. So we'll put them together. Big brother. Right. Santa Claus. Santa Claus. God, your grandmother, the devil. Right. Always watching. What a group. It sounds like a cool tattoo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um...

Like, reinvent the body a little bit. You know, like, there are certain things, like, we don't need, like, some of the stuff we got in there. Like, isn't, like, a gallbladder, like, pointless? Well, also, what's piss? You know what I mean? That's water. Yeah, but what it... But, like, how does it get there? Well, I think it has to go through our, like, kidneys or pancreas or something. Yeah, but, like... It, like, fishes out the bad stuff, so we're pissing out the bad stuff. So... So...

Here we are. Just bear with... I know there's people who are smart to listen to the show. Why? I'll ask why. Yeah, yeah. You're not really helping yourself. You're not. But here's... I'm with you now, okay? I mean, it goes into the stomach because it has to. And if it doesn't, that is a complete shock to this person. These pieces of persons. Pieces of persons. Yeah. But when you drink water, right, and it goes into the stomach? Yeah. How does it get to the kidney? Because there has to be some sort of filtration system. I imagine there's like an old... You know, like... You know...

Because you obviously, you remember Crossing Guards. They're all old and white. I imagine there's like an old white Crossing Guard who's just like, hold on, hold on, piss that way. Yeah. You know, and you, chocolate over there. Yeah. You know. I should have paid more attention to Osmosis Jones. That movie probably explains a lot of stuff. Oh, I haven't. For idiots like us. I haven't watched it. Careful with the idiots, but. I mean, that's the only reason why I know what a uvula is.

Puss, uh, oh no, that's not, that's the thing in the back of the throat. Yeah. The thing in the back of the throat, yeah. I haven't watched, I'm sorry. Puss. I thought you were saying. No, no. Uh, urethra. No, you were thinking vulva. See, now we're getting into cars. Urethra also is down there. Now we're getting into cars and shit. Yeah, no, vulvos now. Vulvo, vulva, yeah.

You know, hey, whoever that car... Velma, you know what I mean? Oh, now we're getting... Underrated character in Scooby-Doo, by the way. I think appropriately rated. Nah. Her show... Better than Daphne. Come on, dude. Better than Daphne. Come on, dude. Better than Daphne. You're crazy. I'm not. Listen, I think that there are...

for both characters. Yeah. But if you're walking around and saying that Daphne had it going on more than Velma... No, no, no. Velma had it more. I'm sorry. You're right. If that's what you're saying, I think you're a little crazy. Listen...

One for you, one for me. Fair. Yeah, fair. The bob cut lost me. You have to admit, the haircut kind of sucks. Hair can change. Hair can change. And I'll go one step further, should. Well, it's all about the vibes. But she was also kind of a dork, you know? Yeah, but then like, but like the dorks. I do like- Sometimes the dorks got- I do like dorks, you know? You gotta pull me back here, because Becca's a dork, and I like dorks. Is she-

Word dork if you mix the word dork sounds like when you throw something and it bounces like Exactly doink is what I'm thinking. Yeah I hate this show really no, I love I absolutely gonna say I don't know where the stomach is going. Uh, no the stomach isn't going anywhere It remains firmly intact. What's holding the stomach up the intestines? Oh

It's just sitting... What's holding our intestines? Our fucking gooch? The organs are, like, connected to muscle. See, I can't even get that right. See, this... It's all hooks. This is a... It's all hooks and bags. That's all the human body is. Hooks, bags. That's it. But also, like...

I don't understand how I can eat something and then lay down and it doesn't just come up. Because muscles, I think. Because they hold them in. I think, well, I don't know about all that. I meant like that. Yeah. I don't know if they're holding them in, you know? Yeah. Well, take it easy. That's what you were doing. I was not doing that. You were jerking off your stomach. I was not. You spit on your hands and did that. I didn't. Dry. Dry, baby. There's no spit on this. I don't need dry. Come on now. See, now you're getting out of control. All right.

Back to you looking like a bar of soap. Right. So if a soap was this color, I'd love it. There, there are soaps that color. Fucking free plug for them. Dr. Squatch has some soaps that color. You love that Squatch. I do kind of like it. Yeah. You know, if they want to tell me something, you know. Soap is a big one for me. I love it. Where do you, how do you stand? Like, what's your soap? Like walk me through your soap routine.

And I'm not saying like, how many soaps do you use during a regular shower? Oh. What is the method in which you use them? Is there an order? Because I have an order and a method. Well, we've gone over the order numerous times. I will say this. I don't think I'm shampooing enough.

No, I think you're probably how many times do you wash your hair? I hardly that's good Your hair should you should allow your hair to build up its natural oil. I get I get dandy Oh, so then you got fucked up head that you got a fucked up head You need to use some head and shoulders or something, baby knees and toes Well, no, no the knees and toes you can you know, you use those enough when you're on all four of them Yeah, I think you pig. Okay. Now you're way too excited. That was insane

Pig is coming back. Yeah, it's fucking Jumanji. Jumanji's going on here. That sounded like a fucking 10-foot phone started vibrating. What was that? Did you hear that? Now I'm talking to the camera. How do you know what big vibrations sound like, huh? Frank. You sitting on Sibians? Don't make me say it. Sitting on Sibians. Yeah, I don't know. No, I would though. But with jeans on.

Absolutely. You wouldn't just hop on to see what's going on? No. Why? You too manly? I'm too afraid. Toxic masculinity. I'm too afraid. My masculinity is fucking grimer, muck, coughing. Very toxic, Joey. Oh, okay. I was like, where are you going with that? That was crazy. You're a dork. Doink. Dork and pig. You're a dork. In one episode. Doink.

In a matter of like five minutes. Listen, I didn't say pig. You just said pig. What did I say? You called me a pig. For what? Something. I don't think I called you a pig. I think I just said pig like pig. Ah, Josh, run the tape back. Yeah, I do want to see that. You pigged it. You wouldn't get on a Sibian though? Because you think it's what? You think it's gay? I mean, I guess I would, but I have no desire to find out if I like getting my ass fucking tickled. I just peer pressured you. You did. Into a Sibian. Into a Sibian. That was awesome. I'd get on it though.

Really? I don't even know what it looks like. By the way, you also, you said jeans, which is wild. Well, I'm not going to like fucking sit on it raw. I'm not. There's so many things in between raw and jeans, Joey. I just feel like jeans would have a good barrier between me and the sieve. Yeah.

Yeah, but then if it would rub on you, it would be like fucking starting a fire with some kindling. That is true. You have very dry pubes. You've often spoke about that. I don't know if I've ever said that out loud, but I feel like you're right. So it might start a fire. Very dry pubes. So wait, so what is your... You know, pubes would just go up in flames. All hair. All hair is flammable. No, but like pubes specifically.

I saw a video recently of a Christmas tree going up and I was like, damn, that's quick. And I imagine pubes is like that. You know what? Go home, do an experiment. Put some of your like beard hair on the, you know, light that up and put some pubes, put some head hair, see what happens. Yeah. Stinky hair stinks. It does stinky when it's burned. Yeah. Whoa. Speaking of hair, wanted to talk to, that's a weird way to segue into. Yeah. We're not. I saw a thing that, uh, cause I tweeted about it, but like,

Apparently there was a study done about hot dogs. You know how we feel about hot dogs on this show. And it was like human DNA was found in American hot dogs. Clear Foods analyzed 345 hot dog products and found human DNA in 2% of the samples. And then I said, I don't really know what they'd have to find in hot dogs that would make me stop eating them because I just found out that it isn't human DNA. Okay.

So I'm going to continue eating hot dogs even if you tell me there's 2% people in it. Hold on. Hold on. Let's do some simple math here. Sure. 345 hot dogs. What's 2% of that? What's 2% of that? Just a few dogs. It's just like... Seven? Well, let's say a third. Half of that is what? Well, 2% of 100 is two.

So you have six right there. So let's say seven and change. It's like eight, yeah. Maybe six and change. So let's say seven. I'll give you nine. It doesn't matter. I'm going to say this. If 2% of all of the hot dogs I've eaten in a season happens to have a little bit of human DNA in it... Yeah.

I consider that a job well done. I mean... Bro, also, if you tell me that if I eat my own finger, it'll taste like a hot dog, we're going to have a bigger problem. This finger's going down my throat, let me tell you. Didn't... Jesus. But yeah, I'm eating parts of me. Probably. I don't... It'll make surviving a plane crash a lot easier if I know that humans taste like hot dogs. If I got to eat my friend because we landed on the side of a mountain... I'll tell you this.

Oh, God. This is weekly. We need to be careful what we're going to say. If it came down to a drastic, heartbreaking situation like that. Where we had to eat each other? And we had to eat each other. And we cooked each other and it just tasted like hot dogs. Honestly, happy accident. Let me tell you. Hell yeah, dude. Like Bob Ross. Happy accidents. Also, regeneration. I don't think humans... Frank, if you cut a piece out of my leg, it's going to grow back in some capacity.

We're not lizards, Joey. I don't think... Like, if I cut off your toe, your toe doesn't come back. No, no, no, no, no. Not a whole toe. I'm taking... Take a little chunk out of my leg. I think... I think... Joey, I think... I can't make more tissue? I don't know if your body's gonna... Think about cuts.

It's just different healing your skin. It fucking seals it back up. Yeah, yeah. Which is crazy when you think about that. The fact that you get a cut and it just closes and goes away is nuts. I've gotten cuts so thin that I just like... I remember once I cut this part of my hand here with a box cutter. And it was so... Like, I just held it like that to like go get a band-aid. And then by the time I got to where I was going, it had already sealed. But like it still hurt. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It was just...

First of all, what kind of human DNA are we talking? Because... That's what I'm saying. It could have been hair, which I'll eat a hair ball. I've eaten hair at restaurants probably. Hair. Spit. Piss. Piss. Who's pissing into the hot dog tank? You're saying people that are fucking turkeys, Joey. I don't know. Who's fucking turkeys? You didn't hear about that? Oh, yeah, that's right. Butterball. Allegedly, there was a PETA had done an investigation and they found people were having sex with their turkeys, which...

They get some pretty juicy turkeys. Like a live turkey or like the turkey, like a Thanksgiving turkey? I don't know. I'm not quite sure. Which is worse? The alive turkey. You sure about that? Yes, I am. I am very positive. Okay. But of the several ways that I know that human DNA can transfer into something, piss, spit. Hair. Hair. Hair.

Skin. Skin. Skin. Skin. Skin. What are they called? If it's not there, it's like, you know, it's the idea of like ignorance is bliss. If I don't know it's there, I'm better off. You know what I'm saying? I will say 2% is a lot. Yeah.

It is a lot when you think about it. Yeah, it's more than human error would allow. It's not nearly high. 6% isn't high enough for me to go, I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I'm a piece of shit consumer where I'll just be like, what's the name of this company? I just won't have that company's hot dogs. I will go as far to go out of my way to be like, let's roll the dice.

Oh, like let's just start eating them. Yeah, here's the thing. You know us, the Basement Boys. We had another successful 2024, which, you know, another dog sucking season down. It's funny. I actually stumbled upon the clip recently that we said that for next year, for 2025, this dog sucking season, the theme is going to be the dog sucks you, which at this point in time, technically, technically...

I don't think we can promote that. I think technically in a way, this is kind of bringing to fruition the idea that like humans and hot dogs now have a symbiotic relationship. We need each other to exist. Hot dogs wouldn't exist if we wouldn't eat them and we wouldn't exist.

Unless we ate hot dogs. So now it's good with the circle of life. I've been watching a lot of Lion King lately. Hold on here. I've stumbled upon a great point. The circle of life. The lion eats the antelope. The lion dies, becomes the grass. The grass gets eaten by the antelope. Circle of life. Hear me out. A human is born. They live their life.

They eat a hot dog. Uh-huh. They then become part of the hot dog at some point in their natural or post-natural life. Explain that part. What are you talking about? The human DNA. Oh, got it. Whether it, whether, whether. It's not, yeah, but they're not like making a hot dog six feet deep. Well, possibly. What if it's like, you know, what if the human DNA that has been found. What if the hot dog stand is on a hot dog factory. On top of a cemetery. Right. Right.

Or what if I go to say, you know, pay my respects and lay my family member to rest and I touch them one last time and then I sprinkle that over the hot dog factory. Listen. That'd be disgusting. It would, but I'm just saying, circle of life. Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's- It's what fuels us all. It's crazy how long that was and how incoherent it was at the same time.

At one point you said we wouldn't exist if we didn't eat hot dogs. In theory. In theory. Hear me out. Frank, I've heard you inside and out. And there's the theory is debunked. I don't think so. I think through time we have found that some of the greatest contributions to the culinary world have been phallic shaped. Hot dogs, subs, popsicles.

It is only natural that we keep finding our way back. Like two ships upon the horizon, eventually they will meet again. And no matter what you do, us humans will always find our way to hot dogs. And hot dogs will always find their way to us. Sausages! Yeah. Yeah, sausages are great.

But they're not technical. I mean, they're round because we shove it in a thing. They're not actually. Yeah, what do you think a hot dog is, brother? What is? It's encasing. Yeah. Yeah, is it? That's why when you bite into some, it snaps at you. I kind of like that. Yeah, that's my favorite part. So. I kind of like when hot dogs have a little balloon knot at the end. Oh, like the little. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Like the little asshole at the end. Yeah, the little asshole at the end. Yeah, I do. I kind of like that. I don't hate it. Or if it comes to a point, I go, can I bite it? You bite it off because you're. But I spit it out. No, you don't. I do.

Why do you spit that out But you'll eat the rest Of the hot dog Because I just don't I don't know Like if the hot At the end of the hot dog Has a point I go uh It's like a water balloon right I can feel like the point And they go And I spit it out Do you At the same time There's that human DNA That's getting into them If you ever Have you ever stirred something And there's bubbles I take the spoon And I eat the bubbles first And I throw the spoon And then I drink the drink

What you don't understand I'm saying if I'm if I'm stirring something right and it creates bubbles What is what are you stirring soap chocolate milk? I don't know or like milk or a protein shake. Why do you have such a strong wrist? No, no, it's not about that Frank you if you have you ever stirred anything in your life I have I stir all the time it makes bubble. I mean you're stirring fucking tea very light. I don't stir tea pitch I have it still the way I like it got it. So if you stir anything right quick enough where you're like, oh

Trying to mix something Then there becomes bubbles I take the spoon And I eat the bubbles And then I drink the drink You just want to feel them Pop in your mouth Don't you You freak No I just feel like I don't want the bubbles To be in every sip I'd rather to get them All out of the way

Get them out of the way. They're part of the drink. I know. I mean. They are the offspring of whatever action, the chemical reaction that you just fucking underwent. I don't like them. I don't like them. I don't like them. You ever want to eat the bubbles on like a beach? Like you see the beach has like bubbles and stuff. Those look disgusting. Oh, they look yummy. You like that? They look yummy. Because it's also like met with like. Yeah, it looks like it could be pissed. Let's be honest. It's the jizz of the ocean. Ew.

Oh, it does look like frothy piss. It does look like frothy piss. Yeah. But it does look like it would be fun to like... There's like a paste also, though. Yeah, yeah. All right. Maybe I shouldn't. Seaweed sucks, too. Dude, seaweed's delicious.

Delicious is insane. Seaweed. Have you... Dude. Of course I've had seaweed. Okay. And you don't like it? It barely has a taste and it's salty. What is delicious about that? Bug. You're bugging. Frank, explain how this is like a savory thing. It is. If you have like seaweed chips, it has like a savory taste to it. I don't know what savory means to me. I don't know.

Umami. It's one of the flavor indicators on your tongue. I know that, but I don't. I can't. I can't even. Like soy saucy. Soy sauce is like salty. Yeah, but there's also an umami richness to it. Right. I see now you're saying things that I don't. I'm not saying anything that your brain should not already fucking comprehend. I know what umami is a thing. I just don't know what that tastes like to me. I just don't know. That's crazy. I know salty. I know sweet and sour. And like, that's it.

I haven't graduated to the other. What about spicy? Spicy. Yeah, I know spicy. You know spicy. Yeah. You remember that fucking, that science experiment we would do in like fifth and sixth grade where it would be like each of these cotton swabs or what are they called? Q-tips. Q-tips have a different flavor on them. Put them on different parts of your tongue and it's just like here is salty, here is sweet, here is spicy. You don't remember that? No, I don't think I did that.

Oh, that's right, because you went to a fucking high school where they were just like, "Alright, each of these cotton balls have different types of holy water on them. Put them on your skin to see what burns you, you fucking sinning bastard!" That's you. That's you. Good joke! Good joke! Joke sucked.

But I am jealous. Did you guys ever cut open animals? No! I didn't get to cut open animals. We didn't get to cut shit! This is bullshit because I think that it's an American staple that when you get to high school, eventually you take a class that you eventually fail. Before that, before you fail the class, you're able to cut open a frog and look at its insides and then you also see the kid who's like really into it and you're like, that kid's gonna kill everyone. Kill a couple people at least. And we didn't get to cut any animal open. I'll be honest. I realize now as it's coming out of my mouth, me being upset about that is a little weird. It is. Oh!

But you know what though? It's the American dream. Anytime you watch a movie about like high school or middle-aged kids, there's always science class where they're like, today we're cutting open a frog. And I'm just like, bitch. What's that called? Dissect. Dissecting. We never dissected. Dissectomy. We were dissecting the fucking Bible. You were. I wasn't. I was dissecting like circles and like the parabolas and shit like that. Right. You know, it didn't. Can I ask you a serious question? Yeah. Yeah.

I do want to cut open a frog. Okay. A dead one though, but not a live one. What's that movie where the live ones, he like freeze all of them? I don't know. There's a movie. Is that E.T.? I don't know. I haven't seen E.T. in quite a while. I think it's E.T. I could be completely so fucking wrong on that. I'll say this. Yeah. I will shoot for dissecting a frog. I will fall back on a chocolate frog in Harry Potter. Those bitches.

Look delicious. Yeah, but they were alive. Ew. Yeah, so? You ever hold a frog? They're so clammy. Have I held a frog? I know that. I don't think I have. You remember a frog. I almost ran over one with my lawnmower. Saw it last second. This thing got out of there. Damn. Yeah. I almost ran over a bird the other day. They don't get out of the way anymore. They're so bold. Yeah, whatever. Fuck them. Let them go. I know, but I can't. I was just feeling mad. You can, babe. I don't look. I ran over one once. I felt bad for it. I'm sorry. It was an accident. PETA.

Yeah. But I was just like, it happened. Now what? I would feel less crazy about a bird, but if I ran over like a raccoon, I'd feel horrific. I would feel bad unless it was a possum. No, I feel very, I like possums more than I like. Hell no. Oh, bitch. You like raccoons more? Actually, I might like raccoons more. Hell yeah, I like raccoons more. You ever seen a possum?

Yeah yeah No you're right Those little evil looking bitches Raccoons are way better Yeah dude Way better Yeah you're right And ferrets What it's Extinct that thing No I like ferrets You like them They're kind of little cute guys They're little cute guys I don't like them If you could pick three animals To extinct right now Who would it be Ferrets Crazy but okay Uh

All fucking bugs. All of them. Legit every single bug. Every single one of them. And that includes arachnids. Mostly arachnids, I would say. Mosquitoes. Fuck out of here. Mosquitoes. Listen, I used to be on board with that. You like them now? But they're pivotal to the environment. They are eaten by a lot of different bats and stuff.

and bats eat mosquito mosquito how much how much nourishment can you get i kind of like spiders i fuck with spiders spiders and i are like this you know so like i don't want to get rid of them ticks see you later ticks get so stupid flies so stupid do we flies but flies flies you know like they have a purpose but they're so they are annoying they are really horse flies at least give me that get the fuck out of here with a big fly absolutely hell no yeah i don't need that but and

Anything like big that you would like, we could do without that. How do you feel about hippos? They're cool. I like hippos. Do you like them more than rhinos though? Hell no. If it was a choice between keeping rhinos or hippos. I like rhinos because... Because rhinos are also more docile. Hippos that kill more people in the world than I think like any other animal. That is true. They are. They are. Yeah. I want to like hang out with a rhino just for like an afternoon. Just see what he's doing. Because I feel like...

See, this is where I'm nuts. And I know that you know this. Oh, yeah. But like a really big animal. If I could just get really close to this... You're confident that you can... I know what you're saying. You're confident. If I can get really close to its eye and just have it look at me and I can look at it, I feel like I could...

Listen, I have said this and you have called me crazy for this. I believe that if you give me and a gorilla like a good 10, 15 minute vibe check, they won't hurt me because I will be like, we'll just connect on a deeper level. I'll do this. I'll admit. Once you do this and they do that, you're in baby. Rhinos can't do that shit. But I know, but like I will admit in the right environment,

That could happen. We've seen Jane Goodall, our girl. I don't know why she's our girl, but she is a girl who has done that. So she hung out. She's done with... No, no, no. She was boys with the gorilla. I think she's dead now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know if she's dead, honestly. I don't know either. Dr. Jane Goodall, by the way. Did they get her, by the way? No. Don't ask who they are, but you know... Yeah. Yeah.

But like a rhino or like an elephant or something like that. Or a whale. Like I think if you put me in the water. No, no, no, no. Bro, put me next to the big eye of a whale and I'm telling you right now, the thing's going to like...

No it ain't, Joe, 'cause that means you're in the deep ocean, you fuck. You're dead, dude. This thing just needs to just fucking wag its... Do you know... Wag its tail. Do you know how big blue whales are? The eye is probably like that big. It's massive. Joey.

Dude, it's got to look at me. It's got to feel the vibes. You believe you can connect and vibe with a blue whale? Bugging. Yeah. The land animal. He's not going to try and hurt me. It's a boy. Yeah. Yeah, he's my guy. Gotcha. Okay. But he's not going to try and hurt me because he can't. Like, he's not interested in me. Oh, he is definitely interested in you. No, he's not. And if you even fucking have one small, like, thing, one little tick, this thing will just crush you. Bro, they don't fight. They eat, like, plankton and shit.

They do. Krill, actually. Yeah, same thing. No, it's not. I mean, it's similar. Nah. They're both like whatever they are, those little things. No. Yeah. But anyway, I think that if I get close to a whale and I could get on it and look in its face, it would get it. They would get what I'm trying to go for. I think with me, it would be a gorilla. Yeah.

That's dangerous as hell. Joey, you want to be with the largest fucking animal on the planet. Dude, being in a room with a gorilla is way more dangerous.

Than being in the open ocean with a fucking blue whale? If I have a boat right here. Oh, yeah, sure. Fine. Put a fucking piece of plexiglass. You're talking about protection. No, no, no. I'm talking... No, I'm like in the water. You think... Seriously. Yes. You think it's less dangerous to be in... For 10 minutes, let's say. Yeah. The open ocean. Yes. With a blue whale. With a boat right there. Swimming next to it. Okay, you can have a boat anywhere. Yeah. Then me...

on that corner and a gorilla on that corner. 100 million percent. No, I don't. Joey. You're in a small room with something that if it decides it just had a bad day. You're right. You're right. That it could grab you by the foot and throw you against the ceiling. I have watched Tarzan. Okay? I have watched Mighty Joe Young. King Kong. Mighty Joe Young. You remember that? Great movie. I believe that I have the ability to

I'm not saying communicate with this animal, but let it know that I am like passing all the fucking vibe checks. I am docile. I am happy for them. I respect them. They want to be the alpha of this domain. I know I am the real alpha given an Uzi or a machine gun of some sort, but I'll let them believe that they are the alpha. And I will let it have its time. You know, I'll do the thing they do on Planet of the Apes. Planet of the Apes. You know? How'd that work out?

There was a war. Between man and apes because man tried to attack apes. I wouldn't. And the nice people, Caesar treated them well. I haven't seen the movies. God damn it, Joey. You can't try to say how did that go out. I literally was like Julius Caesar. What the fuck? God, you really need to watch those movies. They are exceptional. Exceptional. They're really, really good. Back to what we were saying. We're both delusional. Back to what we were saying. We're still going to have hot dogs.

That would have went in. You slammed the rim. That would have went in, though, baby. No, it wouldn't have. I didn't even bring up the fact that you're wearing sunglasses indoors for no reason other than it's just... I like to mix it up. Do you? Yeah, and you say this every single time. It bothers you, doesn't it? I only wear sunglasses. Let's dive into that. Why does it bother you so much, Frank? Are you angry? Joey, this is a show where we like to make fun of each other and have quippy banter. Quippy banter. Quippy banter.

What's that? I don't know. You might be dead. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. You might be turned into a mummy. That's how I imagine mummies talk.

I see what you're doing. You see that, right, bitch? Frank knows that we're talking about pyramids next. Yeah, because I don't know if you guys saw, but allegedly... You look like a mummy. I mean, it sounds like... If a mummy were to talk, people are just like... No, it would be... It would be like the first Dumbledore. He'd be very thirsty. Yeah, the first Dumbledore. You know what I'm talking about? The first Dumbledore? Yeah. You know what? Listen. Kudos to the actor...

Richard Harris was the original Dumbledore. Yeah. But could you have imagined him being Dumbledore throughout the rest of the show? Bro, he's not fighting anything. Listen, and spoiler alert for the Harry Potter books and movies, but, like...

Could you have imagined that he would like... Like, look at how animated Dumbledore gets in the last, you know, like two or three books or something like that. That's what I'm saying. He like... He's like flipping his wand and shit. Dude, that scene is so fucking sick. Which one? When they go to get... Spoiler again. It's Harry fucking Potter. When they go to get one of the horcruxes and Harry gets like pulled under the water.

And then all he just sees is fire and he just fucking shows it. Yeah. Double doors. Just fucking a fucking fire tornado or some shit. Yeah. Listen, man. I got to say.

He can move. He can move. He can move. I don't know if it was him. You know what I heard? It was Gambone. You know what I heard, which was so sick? That the actor that played him in the later movies, Michael Gambone, RIP. Gambone. They're both down. They took them both. And they took McGonagall. And they took Hagrid. Crazy. And they took Malfoy's mom. Also, triply crazy. Bro, I feel like Slytherin is behind this. Like, all of Gryffindor is going down. All the guys who are evil are alive. Was Hagrid a Gryffindor?

No, but he was like very, he was adjacent. He was Gryffindor. He was in the original Order of the Phoenix. Yeah. I'm just saying like, I forgot what I was saying. Damn, my bad. I'm just saying like, I don't know what I'm saying. Where is that going with that? I have no idea. Oh, I heard that Michael Gammon, the actor that played Dumbledore would hide cigarettes in his outfit. So dude, listen, listen, don't smoke cigarettes.

Unless you're fucking Dumbledore. Yeah. Could you imagine being a fucking kid and just like on a movie set where there's an animatronic dragon and a basilisk coming out of a stone mouth? Although that was the original one. All right, let's do third movie where it's a fucking werewolf and shit. And then you can see Dumbledore just fucking... Banging heaters. Just ripping. Just hacking darts.

That'd be awesome. He's like, yeah, 10 points to Gryffindor or whatever. Yeah, yo, and he's just sitting back. He's a giant. He's also kind of a drunk. He's got a giant glass of brandy and just cigarettes, and he's just like, so I said to Voldemort, like, get the fuck out of here, this shit. Horcrux, Ily Noah. Yeah, Malfoy. I don't know, Malfoy. Ah, McGonagall. Malfoy, your dad looks like a hot woman. What is that about?

Listen up, Hagrid. What are we going to do about this hippogriff? What are we going to do? Hey, Bellatrix, how about a toothbrush? How about that? Listen, you might be Lestrange. I'll show you something to get Lestrange. Yeah, I'll show you something strange. Sirius Black. Whoa, take it easy, fellas. I don't see colors. Sirius African American, I think, you fucking freak.

my god listen a whole crowd i had a couple whole crutches once your mother's a whole crux valdemore what's your nose kid disgusting that thing oh riddle me this you little bitch she has a fucking oh man how cool would that be if they just had a behind the scenes of dumbledore just posted up yeah dude also one thing i really noticed about that movie is how dirty mr filch is oh yeah it's

Yeah, he's like "I'm gonna be in trouble" Oh, I'm watching. "Terrible trouble" Yeah, he also looks like he's got a fake eye, but I think it's real. This dude, shh, yo, he's- He's so dirty. He's so dirty. In that movie. And that cat's a dirty little bitch too. Bro, you work at the most famous wizarding school. Where are you sleeping though? One bath, brother. Yeah, like once. One bath, you know? Just take a bath! It's magic!

It'll be clean. Well, no, no, no. He was... He's something called a squib filch. He's born to magical parents, but he is not magic. Loser. What a fucking loser. What is this?

I feel bad because I feel like that's like you know now we're getting into like you know symbolism for like I will say imagine being a non magical person working at that school And they're just like go clean it up, and it's like you fucking clean up this you fucking yeah, bro You fucking won that shit. I just watched Hermione fix fucking Harry's hair

Glasses with one flick of her wrist. You want me to clean up this fucking dead troll? Fuck. Why am I fixing the stairs, bro? Do a fucking- do a little repair-o. How do I fix a painting that's moving? What do you mean, fix it? I don't even know how to get up to the ninth floor because the stairs keep moving. Why don't we put an elevator in this fucking place? Yo, just give me one broom. That's all I ask. Just- Just one- Also, the brooms are just sweeping themselves. Yeah. What do you need me for? Yeah, dude. What's the point?

God damn! Morning Myrtle made the mess in the bathroom, she should have to clean it up! Yeah!

And she splashes into water and now I gotta clean it up? Good old Filch? Yeah, yo, that's honestly disgusting. That's so fucked up. Yo, they got him as a servant. I don't like that shit. Me neither. And I feel like when he was walking around you could hear chains. Now I'm starting to get... Now I understand why... Now I'm on his side. Honestly, now I can understand why he was such a fucking miserable prick that only loved this cat. Yeah. Because that's the only thing that treated him like he was anything in this world. Wait, wait. What was his cat's name? Mrs. Norris.

You knew I would know that. You don't think that he's having... He's... Frank. He's fingering that cat's butt so fucking hard, dude. Yes, dude. He's a weirdo. It's what? It's like... You know? And listen, Dumbledore. Because he's to blame. Yeah, it's your house. He's to blame. It's his place. It's your house. You know?

You're kind of fucked up to this guy. You know what, though? Maybe he did wrong. Maybe he was like a former bad guy or something like that. Because I also just forgot. Apparently Dumbledore was gay. Was he gay? Yeah, that's what fucking... One of the few things J.K. Rowling has said after the books came out that is not... Oh, she was like, he's gay. She's like, he's gay and he shits on the floor.

Wait, what? Yeah, dude. Boy, I missed the shit on the floor. Yeah, she said they were just like, oh, does he wear anything? And they're like, no, they crap in their robes. That sounds like a troll job there. I think she was fucking around. I mean, it's really hard to take most of what she says. Yo, has anyone... Well, actually, never mind. Hermione's the only person in that whole movie who has ever gone to the bathroom. I always think about that in movies. Not about...

Hold on. Hold on. No one's pissing in this thing. None of that schoolgirl's going to fucking take pisses in bathrooms. But when she goes to the bathroom and then she's washing her hands and the troll shows up in the first movie, that's the only time. Well, no, she was crying in the bathroom. That's right. She wasn't even pissing. She was crying because Ron was being a piece of shit. Right. He was being a leviosa, not leviosa. No wonder she's got no friends. Yeah. Fuck you, Ron. Dude, you have a

a poor redhead. Yeah, you fucking, you have dirt in your nose, bitch. Talk about it. Hand me down wizardry droves. I'm just saying, droves. Not only have I never, not only have I never met Hermione Granger, the actress that portrayed her or the real life character, I'll go to bat for her, dog. You talk shit about Hermione Granger, you're gonna get fucked up, dude. That's why she got fucking Victor Crumb.

My guy was like "Yeah!" Dude, this guy came and he was just like "I like you" And she's like "Alright" He's like "I'm Russian!" And she's like "Fine" Yeah dude, so cool, so cool Ben Roethlisberger But tell me he didn't look like Ben Roethlisberger I don't remember Wait, no he didn't, he was just like a Russian dude, no? Kinda looked a little bit like Ben Roethlisberger In my opinion Whatever, we've been on Harry Potter This is, this is The Pyramids

But I was gonna say, imagine, like we were saying, imagine like Dumbledore, a glass of brandy, smoking cigarettes. Imagine, no wonder Voldemort was so afraid of him. He was probably being like such like a, like sassy with him and all that stuff. You know, Voldemort would be like, we have to get rid of non-pure bloods. And he's just like, let's fuck him first. Just roasted him, just dragging him. Just be like, nice robe, Snape.

But you know, it is what it is. Anyway, yeah, Mr. Beast, he rented the pyramids, which is the thing I didn't think you could do. Hold on. He rented the pyramids for 100 hours. If this becomes a clip, us originally introducing this...

The 20 minutes of Harry Potter talk, and now this part is going to be incredible for someone to cut through. I don't... No, yeah. Apparently... What's the price? Was there a price revealed? Fucking no. It's got to be in the... Something crazy. Several millions. How about the fact that you can rent all three of the Great Pyramids hourly? A hundred hours. Crazy. I...

First of all, no matter what... Because listen, we've established that the Great Pyramids are like structural marvels. Yeah. They're old enough that I'm not getting in them. Oh, I'm going right in. You're going in? Get the shit. Unless I know there's beetles in there. Dude, have you seen The Mummy? Yeah. There's beetles, dude. There's beetles. There's books with cool locks on it. Those I like. I do like those. And then the thing opens, the...

You know what I'm talking about? I wouldn't get any, I wouldn't go down any paths that were tight. You know what I mean? Like I'd need a big hallway to enter the, I I'm going to go one further. I'm not getting in it. Would you get on it?

On top of it? Sure. Yeah. Yeah, me too. I would climb a couple. I'd climb a couple, not all the way to the top. Oh, I'd go up there. What if it just starts to go? Who? The pyramid, brother. Go what? Collapse? Yeah. Then down I go like Humpty Dumpty. You're going down like Humpty? What am I going to do? You're going to Humpty all the way down to the Dumpty. Yeah, I'm going to do that.

Yeah, I'm gonna, what else am I gonna do? It's not gonna fall down. It's, Frank, it's been up for how long? It's going down when I climb it? I mean, honestly, with certain luck, maybe, you never know. I will say that I don't know why anyone in their right mind would go poking around those places. I'm telling you this right now. If I rented the pyramids and you refused to go in them, I'd kill you right there. If you rented the pyramids...

I would go in them because it's like, oh, this doesn't happen. Like, this is only for... But... Oh, I'm going. I'm keeping my hands in my pockets...

I'm not going to like. And I'm not touching anything. I'm not reading anything. I wouldn't murmur anything. Because then I'd be scared about, you know, kicking up some spiritual dust. He's going to go in there and say, what does that say on the wall? And then. And then. You can't read out loud. Do it in your head. Don't. And even then I would just look down. Yeah, probably. Just look down and don't touch anything. Right.

Right. Don't touch. Step very carefully, too. I imagine there's a ton of booby traps in there. Definitely boobies. Definitely boobies. And I also wouldn't open the sarcophagus thing. I wouldn't do that. Although I would love to see like a mummified. You are a lot braver than I am. What's brave? It's a dead body. Joey. Spirits. There is enough like media about mummies. There's three.

George of the Jungle movies about it, okay? Mummies? Who's the guy? Brendan Fraser. Thank you. Don't you dare disrespect me. I love Brendan Fraser. I know. You are a big fan of Bedazzled. And not just for Brendan Fraser, but also for Elizabeth Hurley. Oh my God. Love Elizabeth Hurley. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying.

I don't know what he's going to do in there. This might, between this, between the drones, between the weather, climate, whatever, this might be the end of us. He goes in there, he says one wrong thing, and all these streamers have weird names. He might be like, he might be like talking about like, oh, here is Jacksepticeye, and he might fucking bring upon some crazy mummy. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, I agree.

Uh, whatever. If he gets cursed or something, that's on him. It's on all of us. Well, it's definitely going to spill out. Because then he comes out and he's like this. And then we're all dead, dude. If I hear one mention of Emotep, oh my god. What's that? You don't remember? Emotep from The Mummy. The bald guy. What's the thing? What the hell? Oh, great. Now I'm going to end up on those websites. Now you're dead, dude. Now I'm going to end up on those websites where it's like, he's doing the thing. He was at Diddy's party. He wore the sweatshirt too. What?

Yeah. You know, I never want to be that famous, but that would be a perk. When you get to the point where people start to speculate and now you're in conspiracies of like, look, he's on TV doing this. And it's like, it means something. I will-

What the fuck? I will say that it's not even just fame. There's a certain amount of wealth that comes along with that. That too. Get me to a certain level of wealth. You can say I am in bed with any cult that you want. I don't really care as long as my check's clear and I am safe. See, I'm too silly for that type of shit because if someone, if people are saying it,

What am I to do? Now I have to lean into it. Now I have to lean. Now you have to lean into it. But then they would say like, oh, they're making him do that. It's like they're shaming him like they did with Tom Holland. I would just walk outside in like a thong and nothing. Oh my God, humiliation ritual. Yeah.

Yeah. Remember people were doing that to Tom Holland where they were just like, they made Tom Holland do the Rihanna umbrella song. It's like a shame. It's like, bro, one of the biggest clips, one of the biggest stars on the planet. And also, Duke Amove. Well, yeah. Duke Amove. He was Billy Elliot, right? Oh, shit. Was he tap dancing? I think he was. I think that's where he got started on West End.

I think he'll throw a West End. Damn, shout out to him. Tom Holland. Yo, by the way, before we get out of here, I do want to say. No, no, no. I've been big on the Timothee Chalamet train right now. Dude, this dude is just like, you know what? Whatever your conception is of me, here it is on its head. I fuck with Timothee Chalamet so hard it's crazy. Yeah, dude. Timmy, if you're watching this, you're not.

Let's go grab a Pilsner somewhere. Can I join? Yeah. Can I join too? I said let's. Timmy knows he went on like game day and he was spitting ball. He was spitting balls insane. No, I'm sorry, Mr. Chalamet. Don't spit ball. We were talking shit about him at one point. Remember when you said- I didn't talk shit. I said his head was square. We did. Not squared. It was triangular. We said his head looked like home plate. Which it does. And that's good because he's got a good jaw. A very good jaw. He's also apparently very talented.

Apparently, bro. He's like the best actor from Generation O. I haven't seen much that he's been in. I haven't watched the Dune movies. Really? I did watch Wonka, and that was not for him. What do you mean? You liked Wonka? Yeah. Oh. The songs? The dude's a way better singer than I... I mean, I don't know. Listen, listen, listen. Chalamet, come on the show. Let's just fucking... You can wear an oversized sweatshirt, have your mustache. Joey's doing the same thing. What's up? Let's have a beer. Let's talk some shit.

Let's talk, Timmy. Hit him up. Come on. You're right there. You might as well, bro. Where is he? Wait, where is he? He lives in New York and L.A., I think. Get him over here. Yeah, he's from here, bro. L.A., you had enough people over there. Come back over here. He grew up fucking, what's it called? Yeah, he grew up. He's from New York, baby. He went to fucking LaGuardia, bro. I fucking live by LaGuardia, cuz. Damn, yo, listen. Timmy, Timmy, Timmy Shouse. What are we calling him? The May? What the hell are you saying? Chalamet? Chalamet?

Let's just call him by his name. Tim. Tim Ote. Tim Ote. No, Tim. Let's just call him. Or Big T. Timo Perez. He needs to get away from. Damn. Tino Martinez. Absolutely. Now we're on. Now. Yeah. I'll call. Yo, yo. Tino Martinez. Chalamet. You know. Wait, what the fuck? What are you? I just shushed you. I was. I was confused if you were shushing me or trying to say Chalamet. I was ready to pounce on one of them.

Yeah, all my whole fucking TikTok is him like on Theo's show and then on like press runs and doing this and that. He's also promoting his movie where he plays Bob Dylan. Please meet you. Wait, is that Bob Dylan? No, that was Rolling Stones. That's the Rolling Stones. Sympathy for the devil. Bob Dylan is Hurricane, Isis, Sarah. Whoa, Isis.

He's all over the place. He is all over. You know what you need to watch? I don't think you ever have watched it. You need to watch Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox story. Is that the Johnny Cash thing? It's a parody of all those music biopics. Yeah. It is so fucking funny. John C. Reilly? John C. Reilly, Jenna Fisher, Tim Meadows. A bunch of people are in it. You need to. It is incredible. If you've ever seen those movies, any of those music biopics where it's just like,

Oh, I discovered the sound and now I'm making it big and now I'm too big and I come crashing down. Bro, it does it so well. It is so fucking funny. There's a bit in the movie where like,

He goes into the bathroom, like, the first time it happens, and he, like, hits and, like, smashes the sink. And then, like, he does it, like, two or three other times in the movie. And then at the end when he has, like, his big fallout, he goes into the bathroom and there's, like, 30 sinks. And he's just like, ah! And he's crying and smashing all of them. Oh, my God. It's so good. I've done no justice by this movie. At all. Sounds like it sucks.

I don't know how we jumped from there, from the pyramids, but it's fine. We're not really good at segues on this show. And that's just something. Blood on the tracks. That's another Bob Dylan. What's like the famous Bob Dylan song? I don't know why I can't think right now. Hurricane. How does it go? I have it on my phone. It wasn't an earthquake. It wasn't an earthquake. It wasn't an earthquake.

That's not the one I know. It's a good song. Bob Dylan songs. He has a very recognizable sound. You're not finding a single one you know, huh? Oh, he's still alive. Yeah. Bob Dylan's still kicking. Bob Dylan. And then Pretty Good. I know. And then What's His Name is filming a Bruce Springsteen biopic in Jersey right now. Who? Jeremy Allen White. He's Bruce? He's Bruce. I can see that.

I don't know if I could see it. I'm going to see it. Two good Bruce songs. You're crazy. Two good. Which ones? Born in the USA. Yeah. Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I was going to say, if you were going to name that, I was going to fuck you up. The best Bruce songs, bar none. All these people are just like, oh, what about all these other ones? Nope. That's it. Let's see what else he's got. Dancing in the Dark. Hungry Hot. Everybody's got a hungry heart. Couldn't care for it.

Born to run, I guess people really do. Born to run! Run the road! Yeah, no. Glory days, bro. Stop. Glory days. You know glory days. I know. Glory days is a banger. In my head, there are two sides. You know, there's Bruce, and then there's Billy. And I was just always a Billy boy. Billy Joel? Hell yeah. Well, yeah. Sounds of like the working man in like a rural town. Yeah.

That's the same. They're cut from the same cloth. Bro. He's got it. He's got it. Glory Days is probably my favorite Bruce song. Glory Days. Glory Days. No. His version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town is better than every. Hey, parents. Better than any other song he has done. Hey, parents. He's going to bring you a new saxophone. Is that all right? You don't remember that? In the beginning of the song. He's like. That's not many. That's not many.

Yo that was a good Santa bro, that was a good Santa. That was incredible. That's what he sounds like bro. Good song. Yeah, good song. Alright, well there you go. We just played you guys off.

Are we done? Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, thank you, guys. I don't know where you're going to go from there. There's only one way to go. Just like the rest of his music. Down. Go check out the episode on Patreon. Patreon.com slash TheBasementYard. I'm going to get fucked up. There are people in Jersey that ride or die for Bruce and the E Street Band. They love Bruce. I know someone who is like- Who do they call him? The grandpa? The grandfather? The godfather? Who do they call him? What's his nickname? The boss. The boss.

Something like that. The boss. The grandfather, the godfather, the father. What was the other one you said? Yeah, it's the boss. Got it, yeah. Not that good for me. But go check out the episode on patreon.com slash the basement yard. We thank you guys. This is our last weekly episode that is coming out before the new year. Right. It's been a hell of a 2024. It has been an insane ride from the very first episode where this year, I believe, is when we talked about our first shows that we were doing, the live shows.

Was it? I think that's when we had announced or like talked about it initially. Oh no, in December they went on sale. So nevermind. Made it up. No. It feels right. Whatever. But we started the year in January with our first show. Yeah. At the end of the year, we ended up doing Radio City and now we're here.

So 2024 was wild. I think we can both agree. We have the new studio coming up. We have a lot on the horizon we're excited for. So thank you guys. But we don't have Bruce Springsteen coming. No, no, no, no. Because apparently. Timothee Chalamet will be here. I hope so. Maybe even Bob Dylan, you know. Not a chance, Frankie. Dude, what would he do? He's more of a recluse these days. Well, he is definitely a recluse. But what if he was just like, hey, I want to come on your show. I'd be like, get the fuck over here, Bob. I want to come and talk about the time I did cocaine with Johnny Cage.

And then I sang and wrote three songs. That's not bad, right? That's not. That's kind of good. You could have done the movie. They fucked up by not. You couldn't. They fucked up by putting Timothee Chalamet and not me. Yeah. But yeah, thank you guys for all the support this year. It's been amazing and we appreciate it so much. And 2025, 2025 is going to be even bigger and better. 2025. 2025. That's insane. 2000 was a quarter of a decade ago.

Wild. Wild stuff. Well, thank you guys. And yeah, that is all. See you guys in the new year. Don't. You like that sign off? No. See you next year. Oh my God. Sign this off. Goodbye.
