01:08:06 Share

Welcome back to the base- Welcome back to the basement yard. That's an old school sweater you got on. It is. We're sweater boys today. Look at us freezing. It is really cold. What is going- I don't-

Not a big fan of this wind. Sends a chill down my spine. Listen, you've lived your whole life in New York City. As someone that has spent a significant amount of time outside of New York State and New York City. Frank, we get the same weather, basically. No, I will say with confidence, one of the first things I remember about living in Connecticut when... Oh, Connecticut. College. I was thinking Jersey. I'm like, you're right here. I know, no, no. But even Jersey, we don't get nearly as much wind.

Like, the wind up here is wild. You don't get more wind? No, no. I would think. You're closer to the water, right? Well, you're on the water. Yeah, that was dumb. No, like, by the water, yes, there's a lot of wind. But I'm saying, like, the winters, there's wind all the time up here. Like, a New York City winter is the wind smacks you in the mouth. By us, it's just a dry, cold winter.

And like I remember the first time I like Experienced a winter When I was living in college My freshman year I remember I'd go like this I went like See my To be a dragon Yeah To be a dragon You're pretending to be a dragon in the cold Don't even pretend like it's still not cool No it's I mean I don't pretend I'm a dragon still Oh Okay That's one of us I guess And I watched

What is it? Vapor? Yeah, there it is. Leave my mouth and it stayed in the air and I watched it float away. No, it didn't. Yo, I swear on my children. Like a cloud? You created a cloud. No, I didn't create a cloud. I just watched it. Like it wasn't like a and then gone. It was a and then I watched it go. And it was very... Where was this? Connecticut? It was because it was cold.

I think that has something to do with humidity or something. Probably has something to do with the density of the air. Barometers, things like that. Who? Barometers? Wait, what is a barometer? That's pressure, isn't it? I don't know. I mean, yeah, pressure, density of the air. Pressure has something to do with wind, so I guess we're kind of onto something. Yeah. You know what I thought about the other day? It was super windy, and I was like, where does wind... What is wind? Wind...

Do you know? I think so. So I know. Well, I don't know if I can explain it. I think it's like differencing changes in pressure. Yeah, it is that. Yeah, it's like changes in pressure. That's why when you walk in Manhattan, if you walk around a big building, you'll get hit with a wind, a crosswind on an avenue really hard because the pressure is so intense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the air pressure. My guess was like, this is going to sound a little nuts. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Gravity? Gravity?

That was my guess. And here's my thinking. But the wind isn't... I know, but I'm... Because I was thinking about the ocean. So I'm like, because the moon's gravity is moving the ocean, that maybe the earth and moon's gravity is creating wind? I don't know. Maybe that's not wrong, though, because maybe that has something to do with the pressure. Well, I think... Gravity is pressure, no? I think because, like, the pressure, like, the...

Stuff off of water like you know like aura off of the water. I don't know what you're saying. I don't know what you're saying Yeah, it's a little tough the aura of the water I think that because like there's different air like temperatures that come off of the water and then different air temperatures above and they mix and they're like Yes, that makes sense. I don't know. I don't know if it makes sense It is kind of cool to imagine that it's just like the wind is just like you know, I

What does that mean? I hate wind. I tweeted this the other day and a lot of people agreed that it's like the worst weather. It is the worst weather. Wind. I would rather rain. Oh, I love rain. But like rain with wind is maybe worse. Sideways rain stinks. Super. It stinks on ice. It stinks on ice. It really does. That's the worst. Unless it's hot.

Hot rain? Summer rain is... Summer rain's great. Summer rain is... Rain showers. Those are just... Those are just rain. Oh, yeah. No, I meant sun showers. Sun showers are cool. Yeah. But, like, not as cool as just, like, a... Just, like, it gets, like, really dark out, and you're like, what the... It's 1 p.m. You like that? Yeah, I think it's so cool. And then it just, like... What of the, like... I have a memory so vivid because it became yellow outside.

What are you talking about? It was the day that I went to go see X-Men The Last Stand. So I believe it was like 2006. And...

I remember I was at the movie theater in Astoria and I went outside and the weather was so bad that it looked yellow outside and it rained so hard. But then it like instantly stopped and then you just get like stinky asphalt. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that smell. I love that smell. Like rainy concrete. Rainy concrete, rainy asphalt. I like that smell a lot. Yeah, because it's still like hot. When I was younger, I used to be like, oh, like I thought it was like a fox. Like I could smell rain coming, but it's like it's... Well, no, you can't.

You can definitely smell rain. Isn't that the smell of the asphalt? No, that's like a thing that cowboys used to do. Cowboys can smell rain coming.

Oh, I thought that smell was just straight up like wet concrete. No, no, no. There's like a smell to the humidity in the air. What could you possibly be Googling right now? Can you smell rain? You just said that you knew, and now you're looking it up? I am looking up like what the actual thing is. Yes, you could smell rain, and it's called petrichor. It's an earthly smell that's caused by a combination of water, ozone, geosmin, and plant oils. Oh, so it has nothing to do with concrete or asphalt for that matter. Yeah, it's just oils.

is what it is i guess yeah well uh yeah no i didn't i didn't know that you could uh that you could do that i thought it was just the concrete that i was smelling neither here nor there uh anyway uh we do have a big announcement on this uh episode and that is

The show's going back on the road. We're going across the pond. The show is going across the pond. We are... Overseas, as some people may say. Overseas, even though it's an ocean. Overocean, as nobody says. All the seas, I feel like, are right there in Europe. Adriatic. Dead. Red. Mediterranean. Mediterranean. Salt? What's the... Oh, that's the dead. The dead one.

Have you? Nope. I was just going to ask if you've ever been there. Let's just get the house keys and stuff out of the way. Yeah, so anyway, we do have tour dates in the UK. And, I mean, I think we announced by now, by the time this episode goes out on Instagram, that...

They're coming. But on tomorrow, so when this goes out on YouTube, January 28th, that's when the presale will begin with the code basement at thebasemeyard.com. We are going to be in Glasgow, Scotland on March 25th. On March 27th, we are going to be in London in...

Did I say the 27th? Yeah. March 27th, we're going to be in London at the Palladium, and we're going to be at the Pavilion Theater in Glasgow. And then on March 31st, we are going to be in Dublin, Ireland, and...

at the Three Olympia Theater. So you can go to thebasemanyard.com. Presale starts on January 28th at 10 a.m. local time, okay? So where you live at 10 a.m., that's when the tickets are going to go on sale, January 28th, which is tomorrow. Use the code BASEMENT

Okay, to get ready for that, January 31st at 10 a.m. local time, there will be no code required because that is going to be the general sale. So on January 28th, tomorrow, and until the 31st, go on TheBasementYard.com to get your tickets for London, Glasgow, and Dublin. And yeah, use the code BASEMENT to get your tickets.

Yeah. That's pretty much it. So we're coming to the UK. A lot of people have been asking us about it. We're super excited. Frank's never been there. No. I just... What? No, I haven't. You said, no? No. No, I haven't. No. A lot of this is going to be you just making me do accents. I imagine it's going to be you asking me... Frank, no one's going to make you do any of them. All right, I'll do them, Joey. What I'm going to probably do more of is making you stop doing the accent. Oh, really? Yeah. It's like, Frank, you're offending them. Stop. I think...

People... You know, like, we've received nothing but positive... You know... What's the word I'm looking for? Support? Yeah. People seem to like when we do it. Oh, the accent. Yeah. So... Well, I can't do it. So you're good. Yeah. I mean... No, well...

There have been times where you slip into one and you surprise us. I can get for like four seconds. I can do it. You'll surprise us with something, but we're excited. You know, it's going to be a time. What do they say out there? It's going to be a what?

Cheerio. No, that ain't it. That's why we don't let you do stuff like that. But yeah, we're coming out there. I just went to Scotland. I was in Glasgow for only a night, so I'm excited to... Twice in a year is wicked. Twice in 365 days for Scotland is kind of wild. Yeah. But gonna be there. I've never been to London. I've never been to Dublin. Excited to go to these places. Glasgow was a fun time when I went.

I think most of our group hasn't... Well, actually, no. Ahmed came with me to Scotland. And Greg has been everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere, anywhere, all at once. Yes. But yeah, so for those London and Dublin shows, if they do well, maybe there's a second show on Verizon. And I think Zach has been everywhere, too. I think... He's driven everywhere. Now that I think about it, I think I'm probably the one who is the least world-traveled. Yeah, I think so. And even Ahmed. Like, Ahmed has been to Scotland, and I haven't. Yeah. You know. It's true. It's true.

But yeah, so those are the dates. Again, March 25th, Glasgow, Scotland at the Pavilion Theatre. March 27th in London, Palladium. And March 31st at the Three Olympia Theatre in Dublin. So go to TheBasementYard.com. Use the code BASEMENT to get your pre-sale tickets. Again, pre-sale starts on January 28th. On January 31st, 10 a.m. local time for both of those. But on the 31st, it'll be general sale, so you won't need a code or anything. So there you go. Okay.

Also, before we talk about anything super silly on this episode, we had to get that out of the way, but we wanted to issue an apology to people that we've offended. This is a long time ago. This is over a year ago. Over two. Well, almost two years ago. Almost two years ago, we did an episode of the podcast where we talked about these two girls, Carmen and Lupita, who are conjoined twins. And...

Just to give you an idea of the process, it's like sometimes we just go on websites, we're looking for headlines or whatever and trying to find something to talk about related to our lives and do the show like that. And we saw this headline about these two girls, they're conjoined twins, and one of them has a boyfriend. So we're like, okay, cool, we'll talk about that. And I made just a stupid comment and I was like,

It's just dumb. Looking back on it, it's embarrassing, and I can only imagine how embarrassing it is for them. But I was just like, can we talk about these two girls who are conjoined at the pussy bone, is what I said. And then we were, like, talking about, like...

If me and Frank were conjoined twins, what that would be like. And we were talking about a part of their life that is private and intimate to them. And we're definitely not the type of people. I think, I mean, it's weird because we sit in front of a camera and we talk. And I think people are like, oh, I feel like we're talking with you. But, you know, we know who each other is. And I hope that people have gotten to understand who we are. But, like, we're not the type of people that are just going to be like, we made a joke. It's comedy. Get over it. Yeah.

Yeah.

It upset them. And we're sorry. Like, that's... Like, we're not going to sit here and be like, but it was... No, that's it. We upset someone. And I feel really bad because, you know, they're upset and rightfully so. And yeah, like, so this happened a while ago. It was May of 2023 because we just looked. And...

When the episode came out, I'm not sure how long after that, but I received a message and I saw it from one of them and I was like, uh, apologetic and I apologize. I'm like, I'm so sorry. And there is a tool on YouTube where you can just cut out a portion of an episode. So I cut it out just to be like, you know, I feel bad. I, if this was embarrassing for you, I want to take it out of the episode. So I took it out. Um,

Not realizing that there's also the audio version of it that I didn't take it out of stupid thing And the reason why this is coming up right now um is I mean admittedly, I forgot that this even happened and then like 20 minutes ago Uh, I was tagged in a tiktok where?

where she's talking about it, and she's like, this is what they said, and I'm listening to it, and I'm like, this is so bad. This is just dumb to make a comment like that and say they're connected at the pussy bone or whatever. I'm not trying to make a joke of it. I'm saying the thing now because I want people to know that's what I said. Then we went on to speculate, oh, if we were conjoined, this is what we would do. Then we were speculating about their arrangement because that's what the...

article was about was like they like one of them is this is what the article says I don't know if it's true I've also learned after the fact that that article misquoted them or whatever it is so you know

With a grain of salt. That one of them has a boyfriend and one of them doesn't. So we were thinking about, oh, how does that work? And along the way, probably just like... It's an uncomfortable thing to talk about. I'm just not even realizing... I guess at the time wasn't realizing what I did. But it's stupid and I feel really bad. And with the show, if you guys watch the show week to week, we don't like to offend people. We're just trying to be silly and we're trying to just...

You know, just, I don't know, just try to make people happy. And it sucks to sit here and be like, yeah, you just did the fucking thing that like, and so many people also on the internet are like, oh, these guys deserve microphones and everyone else is like a fucking asshole. They're unproblematic. And then to have this happen, like, or that had happened before, like,

It's like now I we just look like fucking idiots, you know what I mean? And I and I just feel really bad and I I just wanted to apologize To both carmen and lupita about you know, this stupid shit that we said we were just like in our minds just being silly or whatever but like You know, obviously we said something that offended you looking back on it. I don't think it's fucking funny Um didn't really add anything to the show or whatever. It's just stupid. It's just stupid. Yeah, and and I

I mean, I, there's really nothing much else that I can say or contribute, but you hit the nail on the head. Like we, we just don't,

And we're both very sensitive to this. I think we are always trying to make sure that we are just not upsetting people and just hearing from someone saying like, hey, that is me. I am that person. It's just like, oh, man. And you went on and on for fucking 20 minutes. And again, it's about a part of their life. I'm sure they've had to deal with ridicule from other people as well. And to be a part of that is something that...

is upsetting we there's no like we're not going to sit here and just be like that was done this is no it was wrong you know we fucked up and i'm not like minimizing it and calling it anything other than uh just sad and kind of gross and yeah we carmen and lupita we apologize and and i i sent them a message on tiktok but i've never i didn't i've never messaged anyone on tiktok but i

Went to their page and I messaged them. I think it's a shared account and they haven't read it yet, but I sent them a message basically apologizing, letting them know that we're going to be apologizing on the episode. But yeah, man. And I, you know, I don't want anyone in the comments like trying to like defend or be like, yo, it wasn't even that bad or whatever. Fuck like that.

Bro, that's not what we're trying to do like at the end of the day if someone's really upset by something that we said about them Like we're fucking we're sorry and like it's idiotic We don't have to do that like we try to avoid that at all costs and like that was just a dumb thing and You know, i'm i'm not like I I think that we would never do that especially now like with the You know growth over the last however long like

Do feel a very big sense of responsibility to make sure people know that like we we aren't trying to be Bad dudes we realize there's a lot of people out there that just want to be offensive and want to hurt people's feelings and it's like well Whatever sometimes you have to ruffle like we're not trying to do that We're just trying to make people laugh and just be silly and shit and we feel really bad and like that's it. I just yeah, we're super. Sorry and

and like if there's anything we do and I wrote that in the message to them about like We're gonna apologize. I took the things down so that you don't have to Like deal with people listening to that or whatever, but whatever you want us to do I will do for the most part like just let us know if you need anything else like we're sorry and uh, yeah, yeah, that's it i'm Perfectly well said and uh

Did you bite your lip, by the way, over there? No, I didn't. I didn't bite my lip. I got into a bar brawl. I was out and someone bumped into Becca and I said like, hey, get out of here. You picked your lip. No, I didn't pick my lip. It was a very serious thing that happened to my lip, to my mouth. What happened to you? I got headbutt by Ruby. Your daughter headbutted you in the face? I mean... Go like this? I mean, you didn't have to do that. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. It actually looks not too bad, but I noticed you like doing that. So that's why, well, what you're doing, you're chewing on your lip. I'm not chewing on my lip. You remember, I remember hearing about like, I knew kids in like middle school or like high school, like growing up, that'd be like, they would chew on the side of their mouth. They'd be like, like that, that. I've done that. That seems miserable. You're not actually chewing. You're kind of gnawing.

What's the difference between a chew and a gnaw? Chewing is like you're trying to bite through. Gnawing is kind of like you're just like... I would say the opposite. I say chewing is just like kind of just like... You ever play with a dog and it's like... I've played with several dogs. Like they bite your hands, but they're not biting your hands. But that's a little like... A little like... Teething? La la la. You know, like it's a little like... I'm just going to give you a little love bite. So then what is gnawing? I think gnawing has like a... It feels powerful and emotional. No, like mice gnaw.

But mice gnaw because they're pathetic little losers. I'm saying, like, if we're looking at, like, when you gnaw on something, it's because you're hungry. Like, oh, my God, I was so hungry, I gnawed on that hot dog. Like, the minute I got that popsicle, I gnawed on it. I don't think anyone says it like that. I think so. Chewing is a scientific thing. We have to chew in order to swallow. Gnawing, like, there's some power and emotion behind it. No, I think gnawing is, like, a dull, like... Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw? Do we Google this and find it out, or...

Especially because I know how to spell it. Like, put it like this. Like a herbivore would chew. Raticate would gnaw. I gotta be honest with you. Okay, it's... Raticate, right? No, the answer... The definition is not a Pokemon, Frank. No, gnaw is... By the way, I had no idea that gnawing had a... It's G. No, no, no, I knew that. I'm saying, like, I didn't know it had a different definition. It also means persistently worrying.

Oh, like I'm gnawing over you? Yeah, that, oh, the gnawing pain in your stomach. It's like, never heard of that. No, that was the example they gave. I love how you gave that like, I know that one. Like, oh yeah, of course. Like the gnawing pain. You've never heard that? No, no, no. I've heard of gnawing pain before. I've never heard of gnawing pain. But it says to nibble, to nibble persistently. So a bunch of little nibbles. Oh, so it is. So you're right. Yeah, it's like a mouse. Like a mouse. So then ragtagga.

I don't know why everything has to be Pokemon with you. Because everything has to be Pokemon. By the way, downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game on my phone. It has been on. I've been sending motherfuckers to the shadow realm. Wait, you downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game? Yeah. Like you paid? No. No, I didn't. You bought a Blue Eyes White Dragon? It's a free game. No, when you start the game, they're like, you get to pick from three decks. I saw like, oh, it was like balance deck, defense deck, dragon deck.

I took that dragon deck so fucking quick. Defense deck. Who the hell? Who's that? You know, but boy, oh boy. That dragon deck. Did it have a blue eyes white dragon? Oh, did it? Absolutely. It had a blue eyes white dragon in there. And I throw that son of a bitch down and I started watching the show again. What? What's so funny about that? That you started watching Yu-Gi-Oh again. I mean, dude, when's the last time you watched that show? 2002? 2006. How old was I? Too old. Yeah, probably too old. 2004.

There we go. Yeah, that's what it was. First episode, my guy pulls out Exodia. Stop. Yeah, dude, against fucking Kaiba. I don't remember who that is. Kaiba. Who's the guy with the cool hat that has like, it's like pink and white. It's like triangular. Oh, Pegasus. He's the bad guy. The guy with the eye. No, who's the main guy? Yugi. Oh, so that's what I'm thinking of. Yugi. Wait, the main character in Yu-Gi-Oh, his name is Yugi? Yeah. Yeah.

So what's Yu-Gi-Oh? I mean, when someone he's in trouble. Yu-Gi-Oh! Yeah, okay, I don't. That's... So the cards are called Yu-Gi-Oh, like the card game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's Yu-Gi. Yeah. It's not that hard to understand. I mean, it doesn't make sense. My guy Kaiba pulls out three blue eyes. That would be like Ash being Pokey. Okay, so? But Pokey stands for pocket monsters. I didn't know that. Yeah, I didn't get that. You didn't know that? No. You didn't know Pokemon was short for pocket monsters? No. No.

Where have you been for the last 25 years? It's not in the song. Why would I know that? Yes, it is, Joey. I want to be the very best. Like no one ever was. Why don't you just get to the part that says pokey monsters? You don't, it's hard. Like you can't, you're going to tell me you could start a song in the middle and know it. I mean, what is it? So what is the lyric? The lyric is to get these, to get these pocket monsters within my grasp.

uh is that true to get these pocket monsters within my grasp in the ball that i will clasp pokemon frank you made that i did oh you i had you you did they don't say poke to get these pocket monsters within my grasp with this ball that i clasp pokemon honestly that kind of fits in really well yeah you don't think so no why not i mean i don't know i we have proven i'm a lyrical genius before

And this is just another... Proven is a little... Another notch in the belt, so to say. I do wish, like, Pokemon was... I guess Pokemon is just hunting. It's way not hunting. It's less violent. Yeah, and you can't use your hunted animals to battle other hunted animals.

What the hell? I don't know. Where did you even... Imagine it was real, though. Like, you threw a ball... I thought about it so often, Joey. So often have I thought... Did you ever have a fake Pokeball and just throw it at everything? There was... So, you know, at the lake house where...

My dock is. There's that big rock next to my dock. In the water? Yeah. Yeah. There used to be a... Well, I think there is now, but before there was its current incarnation, there was a post that stuck out of the rock. Someone had put it there in order for passerbys to not drive up over it because it's a huge rock. Okay. And I would go up, and when I was playing by myself as a kid, I'd go up there, and I'd go like, and I released the Pokemon into the wild. Okay.

I don't even understand what that means though. I release Pokemon into the wild and then I would go and I would like... Why this? Why that? Just to like get them out because there's so much energy. Right, but where are you releasing them from? The post. Oh, they were in the post. They were stuck in the ground. Oh. So the post was just like a... Got it. You know? Okay. And then I'd be like, oh my God, look up. There's Pharaoh and Pidgeot.

I hated Pharaoh Everyone hated Pharaoh dude No one liked Pharaoh Pidgeotto My guy You know who's a good bird My birds Marty and Molly No fuck those birds

Skarmory. It was a metal... It was like a metal-looking pharaoh. That's not an original. It's a second generation. That's... The generation... You're missing out. There were some really cool Pokemon past your generation. Who was like the big one of the second gen? Lugia and Ho-Oh. And then there were the legendary dogs. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Sweet... Suicune. Suicune had a little...

Yeah? Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. You had a crush on her, him? Them. It was a... What was it? A dog? It was a dog. A legendary dog. Well, I did like Nine Tails and Arcanine. Crazy. Nine Tails. I mean, Vulpix was cute too, but Nine Tails definitely had it going on. Yeah, it did. You know? Eevee. You know I'm an Eevee guy. I know. And then you went from Eevee to... I know you like Jolteon, but I could see you being a little whore for Flareon. You know what I'm saying? By the way, I mean, we're not going to spend too much time on Pokemon, but like...

To start, who you taking? That's a very easy one. Which one? Charmander. Thank you. Yeah. Duh. Duh, duh, duh. Anyone you meet who's like Bulbasaur, I'd be like, all right, bro. Bulbasaur is my least favorite of the three, I think, but it's Charmander by far. Wait, do you have Pikachu as well?

So in the original versions of the game, red and the Japanese version was green, but then there was blue in the U.S. Remember, it was a red and blue version. Yeah. It was just those three starters. And then remember your rival, which I always named Gary. You probably named him something cool like Ass or Rocket or...

They would pick the one that was always in opposition. So if you took Charmander, they took Squirtle. Oh, that's what you mean. I would always make their name a curse word, by the way. Balls. Yeah, like penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Penis picks Bulbasaur. Oh, no, you've beat penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um...

Then they released Pokemon Yellow version, which you start the game and you can't take any of them, but you're just gifted a Pikachu. And the Pikachu walks around with you. I had that one. And then you can get, through trading, you can get Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur elsewhere. Got it. But you know what game... Where's your Nintendo Switch? In a closet? You fuck. Yeah. How often do you play Nintendo Switch? Answer me. Okay.

I mean, I go between the three consoles, but there's a Pokemon game on there, Hey You Pikachu or Hey You Eevee, and it's fucking bananas. I'm talking like you can go through the Viridian Forest riding a Charizard. Yeah. That sounds cool. Yeah. I remember, you know what's funny? The game Pokemon Snap.

idea for a game, but so good. Like, you're just gonna take pictures of Pokemon. Yo, I loved that first game, and then they came out with another one a couple years ago. Great game.

Like, a lot of fun. And you still just take photos of Pokemon? Yeah. There's nothing else you do? No. You just take photos. I mean, like, they added, like, a story to it. Like, they need, like, ten pictures of Pokemon eating in order to, like, research how they eat, and you get this special flute. And it's like, why? It's cool, though. It's cool to see Pokemon. I agree. You're bugging out if you don't like it. No, I did like it. You better. I would go up the block to this kid's house, and he had it on N64, which I never had. Who? Who?

Danny. Do you know who I'm talking about? I know exactly what Danny you're fucking talking about, bitch. Your sister's friend. Weren't they friends? I mean, they hung out with the same crowd sometimes. But yeah, that's what I did.

You feel no, like there's no part of you that wants- Therapy, Pokemon Snap. I mean, but like be honest with yourself for a second. When I think of Pokemon Snap, here's what I think about. Being in that kid's room and he had a giant lifelike doll that was dressed as Sting and I would do wrestling moves to it. So that was cool. So maybe I didn't play a lot of Pokemon Snap because he would play Pokemon Snap and I'd be wrestling this thing. Gotcha. Okay. But hear me out. Yeah.

If you had the opportunity right now to put something on and go out there and find and catch a Zapdos, you're not all about it? Do I have a Master Ball? Of course you have a Master Ball. Ultra Ball. But you don't want to use a Master Ball on a Zapdos. You want to keep that from you two.

which you can only get in the end game after you beat the Elite Four, and your rival, who you aptly name probably Penis. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Ass. That was so funny because that was definitely one of them. Well, I remember... It's like, ooh, ass. So it's weird that this came up because we were just talking about this, but there was a guy that we knew at our after-school program that was a firefighter and lost his life on 9-11. I'm not going to say his name. You know who I'm talking about, though. He played Pokemon.

He showed me his lineup and all of his Pokemon were named after wrestlers. So like his Squirtle was named Road Dogg and like his Pikachu was Mr. Ass. So like people did that. Yeah, you know, Mr. Ass shocked you. Yeah, exactly. But dude, just just just why not? What do you have to lose? No, I mean, I mean, I just don't know when I'm going to be compelled to play Pokemon. I will sit you down.

I will give you your favorite drinks and your favorite snacks. Frank, I'm not your daughter. I know. You're like, oh, I'll give you this in a little plastic cup. Here you go. You got your pretzel rods. It's nice to treat you like my child sometimes because there are parts of life that you don't realize are beautiful and fun and happy. And how much do you... How much... Shut up, shut up, shut up. How much... I'm going on a tangent here. How much do you want me to experience love and happiness and joy? On your time with you. Yeah, but also I'm saying like...

Even if we are not able to do it together, you want me to experience life and happiness and joy, right? I want you. And it's just my way of doing that for you is to give you a box of hot tamales and let you go and catch some Nidorans.

That was some wild gaslighting that you did right now and I'm actually impressed by that and I'm glad that everyone saw that but it's like you want me to be happy right? So do the thing that I want. I want is gonna make me happy. You want that because you're a good person. Well, you are a good person and you want me to and I want you to go find... What was the Pokemon you just said? Nidoran. The worst. Uh, not worse than what's the one that hardens? Metapod or Kakuna.

I liked Kokuna actually. Because it went to Beedrill. No, because it looked like a ninja kind of. It did. It had like ninja like eyes kind of. Anyway, can we stop talking about Pokemon? No. We're going to talk to something that's similar, but not. Apparently on January 25th, all of the planets in the solar system will align to make a cool view of the sky. So that was a headline that we saw. Here's one thing that I do want to say.

Before I begin, I don't know if this is something that happens all the time. It feels like it doesn't. It feels like it shouldn't. It feels like it shouldn't. Yeah. So that's my point. If they're going to align, then what? Do the volcanoes erupt? You know what I'm saying? I think, first of all— Gravity reverses. First of all, I've been watching a lot of Hercules lately. So I know— What? What was that? Look. Is that a TV show?

You've seen Hercules, brother. The movie? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Who puts the glad in gladiator? Yeah. Hercules, you know? Yes. Okay. I can go the distance? What? Get to your point. No. I mean, there's so many others. I've seen the movie. I said yes. Okay, but there are good songs in there. Yeah. You know? Stop naming songs. Okay. All right. What's the one that Danny DeVito sings?

So you want to be something, kid? Whoop-dee-doo. All right. I got to keep going. Right. But I'm pretty sure that's when the Hades opens up or the underworld, and then the Titans come out, right? I don't know. I don't know that it's a good thing if the planets are aligning. You know what I mean? Are you more excited to see one planet or like what?

I don't think we're going to see any, bro. No, I think you could definitely see planets, bro. Look at my eyes. Neil deGrasse Tyson always comes out and he goes, look to the Western sky. And upon three clicks from, you know, pure midnight, which are all words we didn't know existed, you will see...

Mercury. You know, like he says shit like that. Yeah, but unless I have like an actual telescope. We have a telescope. You can get one. They're not that expensive. Yeah, but you would need like a sick one. I'm not going to go to like Party City and get a like Ahoy Matey telescope. No, we have like one on a tripod that has like a big fat butt. Oh, like look through it and stuff like that. Damn, you have a thermometer thermometer. You have a telescope like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Expensive.

We got it for Miles one year for... Birth? Birthday. Yeah. But it wasn't, like, too expensive. You can get, like, insane ones. Like, we're not fucking... Yeah, we're not getting the Hubble. We're not counting the craters on the moon. Right, yeah. You know? Yo, you know when they say that if you look into, like, the Hubble telescope or something like that, like, if you look whatever you can see technically into the past...

Yeah, dude. Yes. Yes, they are correct. It's so... It fucks me up. It fucks me up. Do you understand that? Because by the time... Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Like... So say... All right. All right. All right. So say we look up into the sky and we see a star right here. Yeah, that star's been there. That star was there...

A long time ago. Because the amount of time it takes for the light to reach us, it's now over here. Right, yeah. You know? And it's just bananas. But if I'm looking at a telescope... Telescope, you're seeing the light. That's what you're seeing. Telescopes... Can we see into the future? No. Like that's a raven? You know what I mean? Yeah. When you gaze into the future, future... I knew you were going to start singing that song. Life is a breeze. From a distance, yeah.

Go, Ray. Well, it's not something to say. Remember that? I do. Yeah. Yeah, no, it freaks me out. But they're supposed to align. This is dangerous. Bro, I'm shocked my father hasn't texted me about this. Oh. Being like, yo, stay inside. Stay inside. Don't look up. Yeah. You know. Don't look up. Don't look up. Bro, did you watch that movie, Don't Look Up? I watched some of it, and I didn't like it. I turned it off. You got scared? A little bit.

You would. That's such a prank. You'd be like, I don't know. It's just like boring. It's just not acted well. I want to turn off. It's not acted well. It's not acted well. Yeah, no. It's like definitely freaky and makes you think. And it's like, yo, if this were to happen, what the fuck can we possibly do? Nothing. Nothing. We can just hold our loved ones. Hold our loved ones, which is what... Yeah, that ends up happening. Spoiler. But...

I'm surprised my dad didn't hit me up about this. And like, cause he, he loves end of the world shit. He like, he has a top five list of ways to go. Tsunami, I think is like one. That's one of the worst ways I would imagine. Oh no, sorry. Not, uh, no, no tsunami. Tsunami is number one, like deep impact. Remember that movie where the wave comes and just kills that couple who's just like hugging on the beach.

He's like, oh. He might be just standing there. Oh, I think he just wants someone to hug. I don't think he cares about the wave. He's inviting death? He has been on record saying that he wants to be on the beach doing this. Do you know? I mean, you probably know this because you were in my house growing up. Whenever it was a thunderstorm, he would stand at the back window and watch thunder. I do that too. I can't lie. And then thunder happens and he goes...

Yeah, dude. There's something. He loves lightning. I love. I love. First of all, he's looking at lightning, not thunder. Thunder is, you know. It's the sound. It's the sound or the gyration of this over here. You know, these hips. Of the thighs, yeah. Of my thunder. No, it's like a, I don't know if it's like a dad thing or what, but like.

Anytime it storms like bad, me, Becca, and the kids sit in front of the window and we watch the lightning because it's so cool to see because you're just looking and then you just see like, you know, like the lightning just like kind of crack up. I do like that. You know? And then I'm the one that's just like, all right, start counting. One Mississippi, two Mississippi. It's four balls.

away you know that's funny is that true though I don't know but I will say this I have you ever like has lightning struck where you are like within like close proximity um

Yeah, I think so. Yo, I have never felt something like that in my entire life. You've been lightninged? I've not been lightninged, but I've been in the house in Astoria and lightning hit in the alleyway. Oh, I remember. Wait, when was that? There was one time. Oh, no, it was recent.

It was when my last apartment in Astoria, there was a day it woke me up out of sleep. Yo. And it was so loud. And then I was like, yo, what was that? And everyone like everywhere was talking about that. And it ended up being this thing where I think it was like low cloud cover. And then with certain whatever, it just like moved.

trapped the sound of the thunder in a specific area and it was so loud, dude. I thought my building was going down. You felt in your jellies, didn't you? Dude, it scared the shit out of me. It woke you up? I didn't even think it was lightning. It woke you up? Legitimately. Yeah? Like it was like

And I was like, oh my god, what was that? Like I was so confused. That sounds fun. That sounds really fun. Yo, it was so scary. There's nothing wrong with that. It's terrifying. I mean, if the planets align, that shit might happen. They might throw a hyperbeam from the moon. I think you can only see it in India. Really? Yeah. It says a celestial, which I love that word, spectacle awaits sky watchers in India on January 25th. Wait, why is that the case? I guess because of where they'll be and the time of the day.

Oh, man. Yeah, they have all these. I wanted to go to India for several reasons. That's, I guess, another one. But not now. It's not going to happen for another one. When's this going to happen again? I don't know. When do the planets line up? It says it's a rare celestial event. Why would people do that where they're just like, this is the last blood moon in 700 years. And it's like, we just had one last week. Also, what is a blood moon? Is it just when it turns orange?

Maybe. I think it has something to do with, like, when it happens. Like, there's, like, they gave names to moons based off of, like, planets. What? Uh-oh, here we go. Shut the fuck up. Wait. Planets align January 25th. I just want to make sure that we're... Bro, how often do these planets align? The ones that are aligning on the 25th from India, how often do they align? I mean, you think about, they all have different rotations around the sun, right?

Uh, so... You're pissing me off. I mean, I'm using logic! This is the one time... You're not gonna get it! But the one time, Joey, that I try to use logic to come to an answer. Instead of sitting there, and by the way, don't think I didn't see your tweet, bitch. Don't think I didn't see your tweet, bitch. You know, all people get followers and now everyone knows their opinions. Is that about me, bitch? Frank, you ever hear that song, You're So Vain? You probably think this tweet is about you.

It's not about you, you dumbass. God. He got me good, folks. All right. Let's say once every hundred years. I'm confused by this. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, how many planets are there? Eight, because they don't acknowledge Pluto anymore.

My very educated mother just served us nine pickles. No, but they don't acknowledge Pluto anymore. So there's eight? Just nine. So a celestial spectacle awaits sky watchers in India on January 25th. January 25th. As seven planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Mercury align in a breathtaking arc. Wait, what happened?

Mercury, I guess, and Earth are not involved in that? What the hell? They're leaving us out? But then that would be nine. No, it would be eight, brother. But they're saying as seven planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, oh, Mercury. Oh. So everyone's included but us.

What the fuck? We're not included in this? All right. That's fucked up. Okay, all right. Bet. Why would we not be? Galactic Council, no problem. That's fucked. But I Googled it. I was like, what are the frequency? I didn't write this. The frequency of planetary alignments depend on how many planets are involved and how closely they're aligned. One every 100 years. So it's confusing because it says six or more planets...

Six or more planets align within a small area of the sky about every 100 years, which is what you said. Oh, look at that. Whoa, wow. I used logic and I get the answer. But then it says all seven planets, all seven planets align once in about 22 billion years. I mean, that's why it's not... Excuse me? That's why it's not happening right now, man. What? Our planet isn't aligning with us right now. It says all seven... Why does it say all seven align once...

But like this says seven. I guess because you can't see Mercury aligning two because it's... Because we're looking that way? We're looking that way. Mercury is over there like what's up? And then the others are over there. Wait, what's the first planet? Mercury. Yeah. Yeah. Close to the sun. But that's included in this. And then it's Venus. No. We're the third rock from the sun maybe. So Mercury and Venus and all the other planets except us.

Venus is included too? Yes. What the fuck? Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Mercury. Just not us. By the way, I heard one time on one of those sci-fi shows where they do interviews with scientists who tell you we're going to be dead in a year or whatever. And he pronounced it Uranus. That's how it is pronounced. It's not Uranus. It's Uranus. Really? Because it's based off of, I think it's like the Roman god. All the planets are named after gods.

Mars is the god of war. Venus is the god of war for real. Yeah. Yeah. Neptune was the god of the sea. Yeah. I remember that one. I guess not Earth. We're just like, we're just our own thing. Yeah. Venus is the god of love. I don't know. Saturn is the god of, I think Uranus is like the god of gods or something like that.

Or Janus, which is Jupiter. Saturn is the Roman god of agriculture, harvest, abundance, and time. Jupiter, no. Uranus is the god of sky and heavens. Yeah, crazy. And then who's the other one you said? Venus. Venus is like beauty? Love, beauty. Love, beauty, fertility, sex, prosperity, victory. Ooh!

There's something. There is that planet got something going on there. Yeah, dude. There's probably like crazy stuff going on. I mean, there's nothing going on because of... We don't know that, dude. We can with confidence probably say it's not. With confidence probably. But we don't know. Maybe the aliens have like a thing that they're doing over there. I mean, they're very close to the sun. I know. They're like really close. Did you ask me this? Like what movie you would rather... Oh, yeah, you did. It was like Harry Potter or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yo, thinking about being like in a Star Wars movie and being able to travel to other planets, like...

How many years of intergalactic travel would have to exist before you're like, all right, fine, I'll do it? What do you mean? Oh, like how it's been well established for this many years? So like, you know, the way that flying is right now where it's like, you're not like the plane's not going down. I'll do you one better. If I was 85 and intergalactic travel has been out for a while.

And I'm not doing so hot. Okay. You're going to do it? It looks like I'm not going to make it another year or two. And they're like, yo, we have the cure for it. You'll live another 20 years, but it's on Mars. I'd be like, all right, might as well. Might as well. It'll take us, you know, at that time, maybe it'll take us like two years to get there instead of five. You know? Wait, does it only take five years to get there? To Mars? I believe it does. You didn't see the Martian, dude? I did, but I was like in and out.

How long does it take to get to Mars? Seven or eight months. All right, the movie was wrong then, not me. Forgive me for putting my faith in a movie. Right, yeah. Movies are your Bible.

All right. I want to expand on that, but we have some sponsors. Okay. We do have Harry's Razors, okay? Even if you got a face for podcasts, hello. You better believe you deserve the best shave, okay? I've had Harry's Razors.

And for you, sir, thinking about the space travel, let's say today they send people to any of the planets. And it takes four days to get there and four days to get back. Let's just say that. And you can go to any planet, maybe add a day if it's past Jupiter or something. But they start doing it today, no problems whatsoever.

When like when like people start living there, you know what I mean? And like is there a point in like 10 years where you're like, I'm gonna go visit Neptune No, my cousin lives there. No, no, no, cuz you don't want to get in a rocket. Yeah Yeah, bro. I get freaked out getting on planes. Imagine looking out the window bro. You look out the way like I get in a plane and

And like, I'm like, you know, the mentality we've spoken openly about the mentality I have to put myself in, you know, but there's even, even, and I know this is stupid. So please don't dog pile on top of me. Okay. But like, even in a plane, I have a thought of like, but you know what? I can land on earth and like, by some miracle, make it.

If a plane were to... I know it's stupid. I know it's stupid. No, no, no. I'm asking because I don't really know what you're saying. You're saying like if the plane was going down, you'd jump out? I don't know what I would do, but there is in my toxic head... You're like, I'll figure... I will figure out a way to live. Okay. You know, whether it's like, oh, I land and I just like jump and aim and I hit a pool or something. Right. There is... Jesus. But like there is a part of me that has convinced myself that that is... You could do it.

With space, there is nothing, dude. Yeah. Nothing. Because here's the thing. Something goes wrong up there, done, dude. Like, there's no... You can't pull over. You can't pull over. You can't, like... I'll just put a backpack on with a parachute and go back to Earth because... Well, everyone would need helmets. What are the helmets gonna do? They'll just turn your... It'll be a layer of charred plastic over your head.

No, we'd all have to wear spacesuits. Joey, I don't care what we're wearing. We could be wearing solid gold diapers. It's not going to make me want to go. As I am a terrestrial being, and for the rest of my foreseeable life, I will live the rest of my life being here on this planet. If they start putting people on Mars, good. Let my ancestors deal with that. What if...

You know how they did that space thing, which I don't even know if that was real or not, but you can get in a spaceship and you see outer space, but you just come right back. No. No. But what if it's been going on for 10 years and there's never been an issue? What do you get out of asking me these questions? You know I don't like it. I know. All right, all right, Joe. All right, Joe. Yeah. If they have perfected going into the hollow earth, but you need to go through the Marianas Trench-

Oh my god. And you could see everything, all the crazy stuff in the hollow earth. That would be better. Are you kidding me? You have, but you have to, it takes four days to get through the Marianas Trench. Okay, but am I, am I in danger? I mean, you're in a submarine. Same question. Like if- Same answer, bitch. Okay, okay. If they, if they like, everyone does it, like the animals down there-

Five? No, no, no. Ten years. Okay. We have put people through the Marianas Trench. Right. Your turn. Right. Money where your mouth is. Let's see your mouth, pretty boy. I think... Don't say that. I think I would. Crazy. Bro, imagine going down there and like the lights are all on. No. I don't know how we're illuminating. But like, it's like, all right, for like eight hours a day, we have to shut all the lights off because you need to like, you need to feel what it would be like to sleep.

And there's windows. Well, I would want the windows. I like it better if I could see. Yo! But down there, you can't see anything. Right, so it's just dark. Yeah, until it isn't. What does that mean? Something flies by your window. Oh, oh. Well, I would be more interested in that. And then you hear this. What am I going to be scared by that? Oh, someone's knocking? A robber? Bro, I'm worried about giant fucking, like, the Kraken being down there. I'm saying you're down there in a solo pod. Now I'm alone? Yeah, bitch!

You put me in this situation where you need, you know I'm not going to space. You know I'm not. Unless Elon Musk came with a blank check and he was just like, you know. So money would motivate you to go? Yeah. Yes, it would, Joey. But I would need to pick the amount. I saw a great question on the internet and I think it was a podcast. So I'm going to steal this and I'm sorry. I don't remember the name of the podcast, but whoever you are, great job. Good question. It may have been someone, I don't know. There's a thousand grapes.

Right? I'm looking at them. You have a thousand grapes. Yeah. Every grape you eat is $50,000. But one of them's poisonous isn't going to kill you. How many do you eat? Ooh. A thousand grapes. Just a thousand grapes. $50,000. One in a thousand. $50,000 each grape. I would, uh, man, that's tough. I would say, I would say at least a hundred grapes. Frankie, that is insane. Yeah. One of every 10. Frank.

You'd eat a hundred grapes. I would take those chances. You won't go to space because you're afraid of that. I'm guaranteeing death. All right, but if I get to grape 99 and then I die at grape 100, does my family still get all the money? Because I'll die for that.

Okay, so you'll go down like that. I'll go down. If it's like all this money is going to my kids, it's like I'm getting the money, and if I die on the 100th grape, they still get the other 99 grapes of money. Okay. The 99 grapes of money. Then I'm fine with it. Okay. How many do you think you're eating realistically? Honestly. And put big, big, big – remember that sweet money mouth of yours? Close that shit and just think as if you were a normal person. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't think that I would eat any. I'd be too afraid. Oh, I'd have to eat at least five. I would get in my head and be like, I'd be like, what? What?

Sorry, Charlie. That's what I mean. Bro, eating a hundred... First of all, eating a hundred grapes itself is fucking crazy. Nah, you can eat a hundred grapes. A hundred grapes? Yeah. You're underestimating how many grapes that is. No, I think like a big... Like a regular bundle of grapes is a hundred grapes. You're gonna sit there and eat an entire thing of grapes? I like grapes. That's crazy. Do I get to pick the type of grapes? Sure. Doesn't make them less poisonous. Black seedless grapes. Oh my goodness. Imagine picking... Real crunchy bitches too. Like I bite into them and it's like...

Imagine the first grape you take. Yeah, that'd be upsetting. But like first one's a prank though. Yeah. Oh shit. He took the poison one. No, keep going. No, no, no. First one you like you eat and you go, Oh, Oh, this would be a good Santa Gato studios video, bitch. Oh, so I'll poison one. I'll put a bunch of bleach in it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But you can like, you can like somehow one grape tastes like throw up. Like one grape is, or like just put like something in the grape and

And they'll be like, oh, wait, something's in this one. And you can say, like, yo, like, a hundred... Like, every grape you eat is a dollar. We're getting into Mr. Beast territory right now. I think... I mean, listen, man. We got the new studio. We need to fill it up somehow. Each grape you eat is 20 bucks. Each grape you eat is... No. Do a hundred grapes per person. Each grape you eat is a dollar. I'm not asking you to ball out, you know, but like... Yeah, but I'm saying, like...

I mean, if it's going to be like a Mr. Beast video, it has to be like, well, we're going to... I don't know. Some crazy shit. Yeah. Each grape is a million dollars. In this grape is a million dollars. And if you eat it, I'm going to shoot this person in the back of the head. Yeah. If you eat the wrong one, someone is going to kill you with a bat. Yeah. What if this, right? We blindfold three of you and I put grapes in front of you guys. Yeah, baby. I like this. And it's like...

You're all kind of in it together, right? So like, and that's the pot. Why are we doing this on the episode? I mean, people want to see the creative process of how things get done. I wonder if it will happen though. Probably not. But like you get like a plate of grapes, right? Mostly red, but there's like, so let's say you get 50 grapes and eight of them are green grapes, right? Okay. I'm going to ignore the fact that you said green grips.

Green grapes. Yeah. So green and red. So you know what I mean? So those would be the poisonous ones. And there's three of them. So everyone gets 50. And each one is 20 bucks that you eat. But if any of you eat a green one, you lose all the money. I think it would be a really fun video. So it would be like, yo, you ate it. Or like this. You eat it and maybe you don't even... No, that's stupid. Never mind. I was going to say you don't know if you lost or not yet.

Until the end of the year. Yeah. I think, yeah, I would say if it's a thousand grapes. That's way too much money. What am I saying? Yeah, that's why I said a dollar a grape. Oh, no, 150 times 20. What is that? 1,150 times two, so 2,300. What did you say again? I don't know. Now I'm confused. You said 150 times 20? 150 times 20.

Yeah. Oh, 3,000. Oops. Oh, so then we'll like double that or something. Oh, you're just... 50 bucks. 50 bucks a grape. It has to be high stakes. You guys have to like feel like, yo, we have enough money right now. Let's just call it quits before we fuck this up. But it would be per person or like the... No, like collectively.

So you guys could make like a couple thousand dollars in this video if you like play it right. Damn, that's crazy. That'd be a cool video. That would be. You know, we got to do that. Like a mini Mr. Beast. Yeah. We can call it Mr. Animal. Mr. Little Lion Boy. Little Lion. Little Lion Man. Little Lion. And that's the, who's that? That's a country, country, country, country. You're asking me to name a country singer? Mumford and Sons. Oh yeah. Is that country? I don't know. You know me, the person that can just generate the name of country music stars. Yeah. Yeah.
