01:21:12 Share

Welcome back to the Bay...

Welcome back to the Basement Yard. How's it going, Francis? Good. Francis. Francis. I don't like, I don't mess with Francis. Francis Coe I like, obviously, because it's my name. You said Francis Coe. Francisco. Yeah. But I'm saying, like, Francis, just as it is, don't work for me. Yeah. If you could have any other name outside of Joey or Joseph, are there any that you're just like, that's a sick one? None off the top of my head.

Well, try to find one now, Joey. All the names that are coming to my mind are so weird. Like Nathan and Arthur. I hate both of them. Nathan and Arthur? Yeah, I don't... I think Joseph is significantly cooler than Nathan or Arthur. Yeah, Arthur's like a tree's name or something. Yeah, I feel like Arthur would be someone that like studies books. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Studies books is...

Very funny. It's just like someone that just like, is just like, this is a book. Yeah. Like this is an older book. Do people like research books? Cause you're like reading books about other books. Yeah, dude. People write books about other books. So weird. Which is so strange to me. I once stumbled upon a Tik TOK and it was like a guy, I don't know if it was like a bookshop or a library or what. And he was just like coming to the vault.

And you could see like the cool books that we have. Take it easy. Some of them were cool, dude. Wait, was it like old Bibles and stuff? Well, there was one that was like the oldest known Bible. It's like King Henry or King George's or one of the fucking old Bibles. Oh, that's in Yale, isn't it? Is it Yale? Yeah. Oh. The oldest Bible. King James, I believe. King James. Oh, he's a guy. He knows his, you know, how.

You know old Bibles? There's no things. You're a knower of things. You know nothing. That's what you know. But it was like, oh, this is a first edition hardcover The Hobbit. And I was like, that's pretty cool, dude. Okay, stuff like that is cool, yeah. I thought it was just like, oh, we really like these books. It's like, bro, you don't have to put it on a vault. Do you still have your Harry Potter books?

I have one. I only ever had one. Oh, really? I only had the Sorcerer's Stone. Oh. I got seven pages into that. I was too young. I was like, I'm good. Oh, I read them. I read them and I got caught reading them by like our like elementary school. I've told this story before. Yeah, they did like a thing. It was like, get caught reading. And then like if they announce your name over the loudspeaker and you won. And I was like, oh, fuck, I won. I got caught reading. What is get caught? Wait, when was this? We were in fifth grade, I think. This was when you were in school with me? Yes.

What is get caught reading? It was like a program they did where it was just like, get caught reading. Go out there and, you know, read. And if someone catches you and tells, you know, we'll pull your name out of a raffle, you know, and then if you win, you win a prize. So would you like read out in the hallway or something? No, I would like, I was legitimately, I wasn't doing it to win. I was reading fucking. But like where, where are they catching you? You remember how like when it's raining out before school, you'd go in and like sit in the lunchroom or like at lunch, you know, or something like that.

And I remember I got my name called over the loudspeaker and they were just like, all right. And Frank, Frankie Alvarez, you know, from probably hype five, three, two, seven got caught reading. And I was just like, Frankie, you're welcome. Hold on. You're welcome. Was that our class? Yeah, it was. You remember the class? Yeah. Five, three, two, seven. I feel like that just rang in my head. That's true. Yeah. You're welcome. You remember that? Of course I do.

That is crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, getting your name over the loudspeaker when you're that age is basically like being on national television. I was so hyped, and guess what the prize was? It was a fucking Wishbone book. I was going to say, is it another book? It was a book! They gifted it for reading. I thought it was going to be like, yo, we got you moon shoes, or we got you a trip to space camp. Yeah, sketch or something. I was watching a lot of Double Dare at the time. Duh. You know?

But no, nothing. It was just fucking... Here's a book. A book, dude. I remember the first time that I was in the office when they were doing the announcements, and I was like, oh my god, I'm here for this thing. You're seeing like the sausage, right? They used to, yeah, they used to play a xylophone. You remember? Ding, ding.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they used to do that. And I thought it was just something they played, but the guy actually played it, Geraci. Yeah, so you saw the principal making sausage in his office. You don't really have to say that, especially when I'm in, like, fourth grade at the time. But he, like, did that, and I was like, yo, what the fuck? Like, this is crazy. And then he would do the announcements. I don't even think I said anything. I was just watching. Doing the announcements was, like, the earliest form of, like,

It's a talk show. It was a talk show for us. You're famous. Well, we weren't. But whoever did it, and whoever did it was so lucky. I remember it's a very famous story that we've told a dozen times. I did it once, a couple times in high school, and then I got banned from it pretty quickly. But I just wish, how cool would a school be? I always thought when we would watch movies and the morning announcements were a talk show.

Like it was like a video. We had that in high school. Get the fuck out. In high school, there was a kid. What would they say? Like today it's eight Hail Marys. Give us your daily bread. Was it called daily bread? Please tell me it was called daily bread. It was called channel one. You guys probably had it. We had it. So stupid. You missed out on St. Francis prep. When I was in the school, there was a kid who was older than me and he created it.

And then I guess it lived on. I wonder if they still do it now. I imagine now. That's a... Wait, what are we, four years apart? Yeah, you were born in 2018. Five years apart. Oh, okay. Yeah, so... I missed you. So it lived on, but he would do this, he would make a show. I don't think it was every day. It might have been once a week where he made a show.

And it was like a news show. And it was about like stuff, but also like interviewing some people and stuff like that. And they would play it for everyone. That's cool. I think they should do that more. I don't know if they do. They probably do. I went to Bryant High School where like if you had put a camera and said film something to someone in that school, chances are it would have been sex related. I would have said porn, yeah. Yeah, it would have been. In the staircase. Exactly.

Bro, exactly. Yeah, I mean, you can't do that in that school of people who are pregnant, for God's sakes, in there. I mean, careful. What? People were pregnant in St. Francis Prep, too. That's very true. So, there you go. A girl a year under me was pregnant. I remember it was a big thing. Her boyfriend was on steroids and wanted to beat me up. What? Yeah. The boyfriend wanted to beat you up? Yeah, and he was on steroids. I almost got beat up by a guy on steroids, too. Look at us. Wait, did the girl like you? No. Oh, he just wanted to beat you up.

So here's what happened.

Well, those things didn't happen at the same time. He was dating some other girl who was in my class at the time. And the teacher said to me, like, oh, you look like you've been working out to me. Right. Damn. And I was like, you're not beating those sausage allegations. Let me tell you. Oh, I was like, where are you going? You look like let me see. Take your shirt off. Let me see your. Wow. You look like you've been working out. That's crazy. But I don't know. I don't even know if that's what they said, but they said something like that.

Or maybe they were referring to sports or something. And then the girl like chirped in from the back like, yeah, right. He doesn't work out or something like that. And I was like, yo, you should do steroids like your fucking boyfriend. And then everyone went, oh, and like that's bad. Because I wasn't – I didn't mean for it to be like that. Yes, you did. No, I thought that it would just be like – because like I knew her. I was friends with her. Oh, you thought it would be like a ha, ha, ha.

Yeah but the fact that Everyone goes oh Then it's like Now it tells the person Like yo I should be offended By that Her jaw just dropped And I was like Man I'm fucked Why is she offended by it I don't know But then her boyfriend Found out And he's like I'm gonna fuck you up And I was like Do I know the kid Do I know the girl Nah You don't know either of them

I just asked and you said no to both. Yeah. Yeah. You don't know. Yeah. Oh, mine was because there was a girl in Long Island that we knew. You actually might have been like in the know of this whole situation because you know the girl and she was dating this kid, but they were like on again, off again. And he was like a fucking roided out freak and a roided out freak. He's an R.O.F. And she liked me.

He found out. And he, like, several times messaged me, like, I'm going to fucking kill you. Yeah. You know, just like that, but...

You know, we're good at ducking and diving. You know what I mean? There were a lot of people that wanted to beat us up, but we never got beat up. You know how people are like, yo, I'm not hard to find. I am very hard to find, dude. Now, especially when I know someone wants to beat me up, dude, I'm like now, but like back in the day we were easy to find. And I remember the one time that like, there was like a group of people that were just like, yo, we're going to fuck them up. I remember I was just like, you know where to find us. And they never found us.

And we saw them often. I remember when I was younger, someone was like, yo, come to the park right now. We're going to jump you. Yeah, that was stupid. I'm not going there. I was like, I'm literally going anywhere else. I remember that call specifically. Yeah. R.I.P.

Yeah, he's the one who called me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's gone. Just kids being kids. But anyway, speaking of dying, I watched Sinners yesterday for the first time. Oh, I watched it the other day too. And you could like buy it now. I bought it. Yeah. Watched it. Wait, you bought it or rented it? I bought it. To own? Yeah. So now you own this movie? Yep.

Could have just rented it, buddy. I could have, but I feel like everyone's talking about it as such a great movie, so I'm like, I'll probably come back to this movie. So rent it and then wait until it goes on streaming, which is going to happen. I'm just going to have it forever. So hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You purchased the digital version of this movie. Yep. When it's going to be available for streaming in two weeks possibly. No, it's like, what do you mean?

You just wasted your money. How? Because you own a thing that is going to be readily available and accessible for the foreseeable future. Those things go in and out of being owned by those platforms. Some of them. Some of them do. Some of them don't for the most part. Anything over – I mean it depends on like what it is. Like Harry Potter is jumping between Peacock and HBO Max every other day. I mean I own those movies too. I own all the Harry Potter movies. Like digitally? Yeah. That's crazy, right? Yeah.

I don't think so. I'm a physical media guy. To this day, if I buy a video game, I'm buying a hard copy of it. I refuse to buy. I don't want to chase things around and try to find it and whatever. Like, I have the movie. Oh, you just Google where it is and you go there, brother. Yeah, that's what I mean. Let me guess. You have all the streaming services. I don't know if I do, but I bought it. It's easy to access. You got Disney? Yeah. You got Hulu? Yeah. You got HBO Max? Yep. You can watch Netflix? Yeah.

What is your issue? I'm just saying, like, you just, you made a silly little mistake and I want to let you find it. All right. I don't even think it's a mistake. Like, I think that, like, if it goes on to streaming platforms, it could come off at some time or, you know, whatever, changes platforms or whatever. And I don't know. Yeah.

It's just easier. There's a bunch of movies that I've bought over the years. You see them on your – what do you have? There's a library. Apple TV, right? Yeah. There's a bunch of – the first movie I ever bought on there was The Wedding Singer. I don't know why. It's a great movie. It's a good movie. I haven't seen it in God knows how long. This is a good place to start is this. I don't know if I've ever – the girls, like Ruby accidentally – or Miles accidentally purchased Dumb and Dumber, which I don't hate. I'm very happy about that one.

It's a good one. But that's just silly. How did they buy it accidentally? It was on like the HBO, not HBO, it was on like Verizon. Oh, like on a channel? Yeah. And they went and did it. And I guess it wasn't like password protected or something. It was automatic? Yeah, so I saw on the bill one month. I was just like, did you buy Dumb and Dumber? Becca was like, no.

Buying movies off the TV Guide is insane. Yeah, well, that happened. So now we are on Verizon Fios, the owner of Dumb and Dumber. I've never bought porn on these. Have you ever bought porn at a hotel? No. I don't know why you said, like, I'm crazy. What do you mean? That's a very, like... But you strike me as someone that's just like... Oh, I'm a traveling husband thing to do. Well, like, you strike me as someone that's just like...

It's something that like it has happened. Like it's like a thing that people do. So like I'll try it out once. No, no. I mean, also like it shows up on your bill.

Like at the front? Like your room bill. Oh, like they know that you're like watching Naughty Nurses 2? Yeah, some shit like that. There was one time where my old landlord, we shared cable and they bought porn and it was like on the TV. Wait, how the fuck do you share cable with your neighbor? It's a long story, but it happened. You guys had the same bill? Did you charge them?

I mean, we probably paid like a half of it or something. It's a long story, and I'm not going to get into the details of it. But we were like on the TV, and we saw it was just like, you know, like a Wild West themed softcore porno. How did you see that? Because like when you turn the TV on, like the main menu pops up. What was the name? Wait, you guys are sharing a screen essentially? In theory, yeah. What? Where did you, man.

I can't... Fuck. But, like, we... And it was, like, a Wild West-themed porno. Did you watch? Becca and I were, like... You should put it on. We need to see what this is. Yeah. And we put it on, and the guy had just, like, a wild cough. Like, the guy... It was just, like, this old white guy. Wait, I feel like I faintly remember you saying... I probably have told you this story in confidence or on a show before. Yeah. And...

It was like, he was just like a softcore porno guy, and he was an old white guy, and he just had a wildly bad cough. And then once we saw it, it was starting to get into the whole like, you know, like, I'll get you out of jail for a price. And then it's like, and then it was cowboys just railing each other. And we were like, we need to turn this off. Was it gay? I don't think I got far enough to see if there was any gay stuff, but from where we turned off, it appeared it was going in the route of hetero.

Oh, okay. Yeah, it was going in heterosex land. Yeah, watching porn on your television? That's bananas. Yeah. I remember back in the day, my dad had DirecTV, and I knew the channel for the Playboy channel. I had a legal cable. It was like channel 69. No, it was like 65. 65. Spice TV. That's what it was. That's what it was back in the day. One time I put it on while my dad was in the dining room. My dining room and the living room is separated by nothing. Nothing.

Nothing. Physically, there's no way it could be harder for him to like, I'm sorry, easier for him to see what's going on in it. And I was like, I'm just going to go real quick. And I remember, bro, I remember this clear as day. He's in the dining room, but his back is turned towards me. And I'm like, I'm just going to flip and see a tit real quick. And I get to the channel and all you see is just bush.

All right. Just straight up bush. It took up the whole television. And I was like, oh my God. And I got out of there. But I was like, yo, this thing has burned in my memory, this bush. Burned in my memory. Yeah. The burning bush. That was a different bush. That's crazy. That was a different bush. That's crazy. He saw that in high school. Well, that bush was my religion at that time, so.

What an incredible wordplay. Absolutely. I remember that so, like, vividly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or I remember because the illegal cable box that we had. It was the one that had just the three buttons. On, channel up, channel down. It was just brown. And it was brown and it was, like, light gray buttons. Yeah. And it had the red numbers. Yes. How is that so? We all have that. How did everyone have an illegal cable box? How? And, like, no one...

How did we get it? I don't know, but how is it not a bigger thing? I don't know. Cable is such a protected thing now. Yeah, and I remember when I found out, oh, it's illegal cable, I was like, oh my God.

And say, give us your cable? Yeah, I don't know. What would even happen? I don't know. That's very strange. Like, everyone in New York, everyone that I knew had it. Yeah. And they all had the same channels. Channel 6 was Nickelodeon. Channel 22 was Cartoon Network. Bro, yes. Yeah. Your memory is disgusting. Yeah, it got there. 22, I remember. Yes. Oh, my God. That's so crazy. And 65 was Spice Channel. I do remember 65. And it was...

Tits, brother. It was tits and bush. Tits and fucking jazz. Yeah. It was jazz playing saxophones. When we were kids, it was like, first of all, you also couldn't lower the TV enough. So even at its lowest setting, you would hear like, We do we do we.

And it was just like, you know, like tits. Yeah. Was that careless whisper? It was careless whisper. It was. I remember that. I also like the cable box used to get a little fucked up sometimes. Like if it was like a rainstorm or something. So if you went to that channel specifically, which I have done during a rainstorm, um,

It was fuzzy tit. It was fuzzy. So I'd be like, I'd be looking at like black and white fuzzy trying to make out the curvature of a tit. Hell yeah. You guys don't even know.

You guys are so spoiled nowadays. 4K tits, dude. 4K, 65-inch TVs? Fuzzy. Fuzzy, dude. I had to slap the side of the TV and be like, yo, get this, hit it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to be slapping it and just trying to make this fucking signal work. You guys don't get it. You don't understand. You don't understand, dude. I used to have to spank my TV.

Yeah. It's a weekly. Yeah, it is. It's a weekly. It's a weekly, all right. It's a weekly. Anyway, I was watching Sinners. Yeah. It's a good movie. I liked it a lot. I liked it. Vampires and shit. I mean, spoiler, I guess, for the people watching it. I mean, I think people. Bro, I was just telling this to Ant before because I asked him if he watched it because I watched it. And I said, like, yo, they really, like, spoiled a big part of that movie in the trailers. Like, with one of the characters being a vampire. Yeah.

Yeah. Because like, and here's the thing is that like, I saw that character and I was like, oh, I know where they end up. But like who that character was, like the turn was crazy. I was just like, oh fuck. You know what I mean? Like it was, it was bigger than what I imagined that they would want to spoil. I think the whole movie was more of like to be interpreted and it wasn't really about.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of— That's why I think they gave it away. A lot of critics have come out and said that it's symbolic of cultural appropriation and the stealing of black culture and music. That much was— Pretty evident, yeah. I think he actually one time, Remick says, like, I want your music. Yeah, he does. Multiple times. Yeah, several times. But I thought it was a good movie, but, like, at one point it's like— Vampires.

At one point, there's vampires. And I guess if you really are crazy about spoilers, I'm not really giving anything away and be as vague as possible. But the vampires are trying to convince the people who aren't vampires, like, yo, be vampires. We'll live forever. Yeah. And I was like, bro, I feel like I probably would be like, yeah, go for it. No. Why not? First of all,

You see some of these motherfuckers. I don't think that being a vampire is all that bad. Also, when I was younger, dude, I wanted teeth and bite. I know, I know, I know you did. What I'm saying here is like, you're thinking that they're going to be like a little cute nibble. Like a little, and then you turn into a vampire. Bro, they're going to fuck your shit up. Yeah, but then I live forever, bro. A little pain. But like, will it heal? I didn't make an omelet. You crack a few eggs, Frank. Did it heal, though? Does it heal? I don't think so. So bite my back.

Oh, shit. Joey, where the hell did you go? I'm just saying. Bite somewhere that, like, you can't really see. So you want them... I think one of the characters got bit on, like, the shoulder or something like that. I don't know, man. I'm not doing that. You want to live forever? You're not living for... I mean, you're living. And then you just have this insatiable thirst for blood. So now you got to go kill other people. That I didn't really think about. Yeah, killing is rough. Also...

Can I kill animals? Can I eat animals? Because that doesn't really change. I think the whole lore about vampires is that the insatiable lust is for human blood. Yeah, but you could bite and not kill, right? You could just take a little blood. Yeah, but then they become a vampire. And then they are no longer alive. So you can't eat your vampire boys. The world would be very populated with vampires. That's what I'm saying. This is like those... Can vampires actually survive forever? Because you can't just keep killing people.

Because if everyone is a vampire. There's a great point. Eventually they won't be able to feed. It's just like those multi-level marketing schemes like Advocare and Fit Tea or whatever. Yeah, you go out, get two. Yeah, you go out, get two. You go out, get two. You go out. And it's like they can only do that like 10 times before the whole world is a vampire. Yeah. In this specific example though, I would have been like, yeah, just buy my shit.

Really? I'm with all the people that I know in this small town in fucking Missouri. Bro, you're nuts. All the people around you are going to grow old and die. Not if we fucking... But, like, then you're going to convince the people in your life to be like, yo, be a vampire with me. And what if they're just like, no, I went to St. Francis Prep. I would shoot them a text first, and I'd be like, yo, are we all vamping? And, like, let's just vamp, and then we can chill. You think vampires can actually, like, take a selfie? No, because they can't see the reflection. I don't need to take a selfie. I just need to send a text message or just pick up a phone.

And be like, yo, you're cool if I vamp right now. Can I come through and vamp you guys? And then we'll be chilling. Ew. No. Why? Bro, you're like, you're then you're being a bad guy. Why? We're all just like chilling. What if they say no? What if you have children? Yeah. And like, I can't. I'll bite my dog. I can't. Bite the fuck out of my dog. Dog lives forever? Dog vampire doesn't turn into a dog vampire.

No? I don't think so. I've never seen a dog vampire. Have you? No, but that'd be kind of scary. Yeah. Oh, dog vampire or werewolf? No. Ooh, that's a good point. No, bro. That's fucking, like, completely different. So you're 100%. All right, so how about this? How about this? How about this? You could turn three people into a vampire with you, and they, like, they will say yes. Ant raising his hand. You want a vamp? I'll do it with you. Why do you want to vamp so hard?

Why do you not want to vamp so hard? Because the idea of living forever sounds miserable. But you're not living forever because I could just, you know, wooden stake in your shit and it's a wrap. Yeah, but then I need to be like cool with you killing me.

And it doesn't, I mean, you saw the movie. It doesn't look like it's very painless to get staked. Stuck? Staked? I'm sure that sucks. Or you can get shot with a silver bullet. It's silver. Isn't that? Or garlic? And dude, also? Garlic. You'll know more garlic for you. That would be heartbreaking for me. I love garlic. I do love garlic. And also, all the food in the world you can't have ever again. I could eat it. It just won't do anything for me. No, I don't think you can. I think it makes you sick. I've watched True Blood, right? Some food already makes him sick.

Anything makes him fucking die a doodle. Cha-cha-cha. First of all, I think you're talking about yourself. No, you're not. The only thing I can't eat is shrimp. Big whoop. Yeah, that's true. You got to lay off the garlic bread. You'll be all right. Dude, you're losing garlic bread, garlic knots. Any pasta that has garlic. Honestly, all food. You're gone. Also, now that I'm thinking about it, the biggest thing that would suck is no sunlight.

Yeah, you won't be able to see the sun. I would have to get a really good European tan and then I would vamp. Because then I don't want to be just a white bitch forever. I mean, that's the other thing. You're dead. You'd be a white little pale bitch. No, I think that I could be... How? I think you just... Because Haley... I mean... And then, you know, whoever in that movie becomes... They look dissimilar as they...

Yeah, but they're dead. So the pigmentation in their skin is slowly fading away. And you can't see the sun. So how are you going to get a tan? And you're not going to go to fake tanning because it uses UV rays, which is what is dangerous to vampires. I'm very caught up in my vampire lore. Yeah, I know. But I don't know. I don't know about the vamp. No way. Also, they have, like, really cool teeth. The teeth would be... I would only be cool if they were retractable, like in True Blood, where they can just be like... And then you just fucking...

That would be sick. You never watched True Blood, did you? No. I've heard it's just like blood and blowjobs. That's what I've heard. You should watch it. It's a bit late. No, you can watch it. It's all on HBO. You could go and watch it and report back after you watch the first season. Let me know what you think. Because they be fucking sucking, drinking blood. You know?

Also, can I just have... I'm going to do bad things to you. If I'm a vampire, can I just get... Let's say, for instance, I hire Ant. I'm going to pay you $200,000 a year. No, no, no. I'm going to pay you less than that. Okay. I'll take that. Okay, right up. Yes. So I pay you whatever I pay you. Something good. And then once a week, I drain a little bit out of you.

Yeah, but you can't do that. The time you bite him, he turns. No, I'm not going to bite him. I'm just going to drink his blood. Yeah, I have to do it myself. Get him my blood. Yeah, like you're my little blood bag. I'll do that. You know what I mean? So he's your prostitute, basically. No. I wouldn't like to be called the little blood bag. He's like my lifeline. I'm not going to call you my little blood bag, but you will be that. Also, once a week is crazy. Is that a lot of times? You need to eat food once a day. Yeah, I mean, I have a few of him.

Okay. Oh, well, now you're not his special little blood bag. Now you're just one of another. You're still my number one. No, no, no, no. That's nice. This is what they say to all of them. You're not number one. You're just another one of the blood bags. Oh, it's like, what's it called? Mad Max, where they have blood bags.

Did they have blood bags? Yeah, they were like having the blood from those people. You make me a vampire, I'll get five blood bags, I'll be in charge of it, you'll be fine. Now we're talking about a real pyramid scheme. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's gonna manage my blood bags. You drink one of this, you'll lose all of your weight. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna have a blood bag manager. But like, this way I don't have to go out and kill. I can just be like, yo, just give me your blood.

give me your blood. Well, like you'd have to, you'd have to, I technically don't like what they did, what they did in, uh, what they did in, uh, in true blood is they, they learned how to synthesize it and bottle it and sell it to vampires. There you go. But we're not in true blood. Could be. If we are, then you're in trouble. Cause they like fucking suck and fuck. And like, they take the vampires as like sex slaves and shit like that.

Why? You gotta watch. You gotta watch True Blood. Wasn't it the opposite? No, you don't remember they would have... I don't want to spoil. Oh, I remember. The show's 400 years old. Well, they were doing experiments on them. It's a whole thing. It's not exactly accurate. All I know is that I can get some blood bags. Yeah, well, because it'd be like, oh my god, that's Joe Santagato. And then it'd be like, yo, you'd be like, yo, thank you, like and subscribe and send your type O negative. Yeah.

Is that like a thing in true blood? Like there's like certain blood that like tastes better. I think so. Unless I'm mistaken. I think they bottled it and it's like, this is AB plus, this is A minus, you know? The real blood tastes better than the synthetic blood. Yes, obviously. I mean, that's, that's nature, baby. You know? It's like processed foods. Actually, it's the opposite for our food. It'd be cool at a bar. You think processed foods taste better than real food? In theory. Like people are like, oh God, this is the sugar and whatever.

I see what he's saying. Gotcha. Yeah, like sucralose and shit like that. Yeah, like it's supposed to make things taste better. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, I don't think I would ever be a vampire. Because I would see my friends and family grow up and... Not if you vamped them. But what if they say no? What if they say no? I would just try to be convincing. But if they say no? If they say, listen, I want to grow up and see life through the lens of an aging individual.

Because beauty changes. We'll vamp you then. Because what is... It's never too late. This is so crazy. It's never too late. This is so crazy. It's never too late to vamp. Because Joey is always the first one where we're just like, yo, a billion dollars. You get this. It's just like, you become aimless. You have no purpose. Why would I want a billion dollars? If life is endless, does that not take the meaning out of life? No.

If you have the ability to live forever, does that not absolutely take it from you? Because the beauty of life is the fact that it ends. That is what a beauty of life is and things within the scope of our world. Okay. What, what makes a wine delicious is that it will go bad eventually.

That's not why it's delicious. What makes milk so delicious? Because that will go bad eventually. Is milk delicious? A flower is so beautiful because it is crafted and then it will eventually die and have to grow back. Okay? If your life is just never-ending, eternal... Well, it could end. You're leaving that part out. It could end by a certain word, which we won't say, in theory. Red rum? Well, that way, but I'm saying if you were to choose to...

And it sue? Yeah. Oh, vampires can sue them? I mean, is that not what you're saying? Is that not what you're saying? No, I'm saying like if someone could attack me and do it. You probably would have to deal with some vampire hunters eventually. For sure. Okay. Do you really think that you could not overpower vampire hunters? I don't know. I think so. I'd have to live in a dark castle. The biggest selling point for me is like no sunlight. That's tough. No sunlight.

No food. I'm crazy. It's crazy. You can't eat food. No, I don't think you can. I think like food makes them sick. So what? You're going to take a bite of a cheeseburger just to then throw it up violently? No, I think I would just eat it and be like, oh, well, I still need some blood. Extra rare. Extra rare. But that's cow's blood. It probably doesn't not do anything. Do you guys not keep up to date with... I mean, we're drinking cow milk. That's not us. You also need to feed off of like...

Dude, I have blood bags. Are you not listening? I got my little blood bag. Your little blood boy? Yeah. It's my little blood boy. Where are you draining it from? That's not from me. That's my choice. That's your choice? That's my choice. Where are you draining it from? His veins? Gotcha. I think Frankie would do it. No, I would not. No, I would not. Unless I could confirm take my most beloved friends and family with me. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but if they say no, then what? Then what? If they were like, yo, I want to grow old. I'd be like, all right, when you get old...

We'll vamp you. Also, when they're sick, you know, in their old age, eventually they'll be like, all right, vamp me. Vamp me. All right. Yeah, but then you never see like an old person vampire. It's always like a young person or like in their like 30s, you know? Like those are the vampires. You also never see like a morbidly obese vampire. Well, they don't have a lot to eat. It's just blood.

You want to talk about Ozampic? You're a vampire. Ovampic. Ovampic. I hate that we said that. Yeah, it was not one of our better ones. I also don't love blood. That's the other thing. I don't like it. But I think I would love it, though. I would love it, obviously. No, but you would need it. Just because you would need it doesn't mean you would love it. No, they love it. That's like, for instance. Have you seen a vampire drink blood, dude? Yeah, because they need it, not because they like it. But they drink it and they're like,

It's probably like doing H. We're going to H now? It looks like it. That's what they look like. One of the things in True Blood is that if you drink the vampire's blood, it's a drug. It's called V, right? Is that what it's called? Yeah. Would you be a little blood bag for him? A little blood boy? What's he paying?

What are you paying? An even exchange. A Christmas bonus at least. Oh, you want to blood bag each other? Yeah. A little. A blood bag for bag, you know? Bag, just a little bit. You guys are bag boys. Duffel bag boys. Going bag and forth. Yeah. There it is. Your wordplay has been outstanding this episode. We're going bag and forth with bags? Wait, so who's the vampire? Me or you? You. No, you. And then he's his... I can't drink a vampire's blood. No, you give your blood to him. I can. It's like a little drug for me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me a little taste. A little taste of that. A little good, good, you know? Take some. Get you hooked. There you go. Then I start making you pay me so that I can make some back of that salary. That sounds yuck. What? Drinking blood. Disgusting. Like out of a cup? Aren't you one of those guys who drinks blood? You drink your own blood like you suck your blood out of your finger? Oh, like if I have a cut, I'll do that. But like I'm not drinking it like...

Frank, I'm going to be serious when I say this. When I say this right now, Frank, hold on. I'm going to say, out of all the things that you've done in your life, that was the most impressive thing that you've ever done. I cannot believe that the volume at which you did that and the accuracy of cartoon swallowing, this is the guy that you need.

Pixar, whoever, whatever big company, Disney, this man is born to do cartoon swallowing sounds. That was incredible. Greatest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. That was like watching fucking the comeback. You know what I mean? When the Patriots beat the fucking Falcons. That was unbelievable. Couldn't believe what I was just watching. Unreal. Oh my God. God bless. But you do suck your blood. Yeah, how long do you have to be bleeding until you're like, okay, I'm sucking too much blood?

I don't bleed very long, guys. I don't know what you think is happening over here. I don't bleed long. I have working anticoagulant or what is it called? Not anticoagulant. I want coagulants. Yeah, you got to quag. I want my quags. You got to quag. I have my blood is good. It quags when it's supposed to. It quags when it needs to. And it doesn't quag when it's not supposed to. I have not yet experienced a situation where my blood is not needed to quag. So quag, good.

Oh, yeah. I asked you a question and you didn't answer it. If you can turn three people, not including Charlie, into a vamp with you, who are you bringing with you? You say with? With. Who are you bringing with you? Yeah. You're a big mama's boy. I know you're bringing mom. Not necessarily. But it's about who you want. It doesn't matter about them. They don't get a choice. You just said that's the whole point. I know, but I'm saying in this situation. I don't know. I think that, like, I would probably not...

Like if I could get the people I know to be like, yo, let's just all live like this. You could start like a commune of vampires. Now that I'm thinking about it though, I don't know if I could do no sunlight. Also, you're going to have to live the rest of your life with some of these people. Yeah. Well, no, I could move. But like they're tied to you. So they'll be like, I've owned you. What? I don't know. I'd pick. What about wizardry? What about it? I don't even know what I meant by that. I would love to be a wizard. Oh, wizards would be cool. Would you go to Hogwarts? Yeah.

Would I have gone to Hogwarts? Would you have helped Harry Potter? I would probably have been like, "Yo, chill."

chill. I'd be like, yo, there's a lot going on. Like, I'm just trying to learn, you know, Wingardium Leviosa right here. I got class. You want to fight giant snakes and wizard? I'm good. Yeah. I mean, I think eventually I would stand up because I tend to want to be on the right side of history with my moral beliefs. So like, I would eventually be like, you know what? Here we go. Captain courageous over here. He's going to fight Voldemort. People won't even say this guy's name and you're fucking 11. You're going to be like, yeah, let's go fight him.

You went to one class where they pulled a fucking plan out of a fucking pot, and all of a sudden you're equipped to fight the darkest wizard who has ever wizard? I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I'd be like, Harry, you got the scar. You know, you're protected by something here. I don't know about me, bro. See this right here, right? I don't know about me. See this? Rich white man with blue eyes and a clan hood. You think we know what side he's fighting on? Doesn't have blue eyes. Crazy that you went with the blue eyes first. Well, I don't know.

What was the other things you said? I said clanhood. I'm not going to dignify that with a response. Yeah, because you don't want to upset your buddies. I think that I would fight. I would be like, nah, you know what, guys? Get out of here. Voldemort, listen, dude. Get out of here. And then he'd Avada Kedavra me, and I'd be like, I'm gone. I'd catch Avada Kedavra, you know? You'd be shameless, dude. You'd have shit blown up in your face all the time.

I mean, he was eventually, he was heroic. He fought on the right side. Did he? Yeah, he was part of them. He was hanging with them. Well, they had no choice at a certain point. I'm saying like, they had a choice. Look at Malfoy. He had a choice and eventually he made it, but eventually, beginning, he didn't. What? Oh, I was like, what the fuck? That confused me. No, but like when the first year,

This dude's like, yo, we have to go into this room that's guarded by a three-headed dog. It's like, bro, we don't. I'd be like, no, we don't. Yeah. But, like, once the fucking wizard Nazis are invading the school, I'd be like, all right, now I need to stand up. Oh, yeah. I'm saying that first where it's just like there's a fucking snake. We got to go underwater and find it. I'd be like. That's what I mean. Take it easy. He's like, yo, there's a book, and I'm trying to figure out all these riddles so I can go to the Dark Lord. I'd be like, dude, let's just, like, go to school. Yeah.

Let's go to lunch, dude. Why do we need to do all this? Yeah. Like, yo, have you ridden the stairs? I will say this. That's fun enough. I will say this. A part of Harry Potter that they obviously didn't include. That place would have had so much sex and so much hooking up. Frank?

I think they didn't depict that for a reason. I know. I know what I'm saying. One thing that they left out was that no one got fucking fingered. I'm just saying. It's so not true. Bro, if you had a bunch of fucking kids going through puberty living together, they would all be hooking up. Right. No? This is what they left out. What they left out was doggy style.

There wasn't enough dog... There was a three-headed dog, no doggy style. This is fake. I'm just saying, obviously they're not putting that in the book. Although, you know what? With the way that J.K. Rowling's going, she might throw some stuff in there eventually. There was that one scene that, like, Ron was seeing a vision of, like, Harry and Hermione, like, fucking making out mad hard. Yeah, dude, in the last movie where they're, like, naked kissing hard. Yeah, that was so weird. Yeah, very strange. I don't, like...

And they're like, you're ashamed, Ron. And they're like talking shit to him. You remember that? Yeah. They were just like, you'll never be good enough for me. Yeah, you'll never be good enough for me. Here's me and Hermione. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was a strange one. I was like, what the fuck? Yeah. What's that? It's weird. What's weird? It's the whole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole like kissing scene was weird. That was weird. And also they looked very like white. Yeah.

I think the idea was they were supposed to be like ghosts. Ghosty looking. Yeah. Because it was like a smoke thing from like the Horcrux. It is really crazy how much of this show just eventually divulges into us talking about Harry Potter. It's kind of wild. It is crazy. But the idea of a child being like, I'm going to take on the worst. Well, let's talk about a series of unfortunate events.

I don't want to talk about that movie with that one guy, Lemony Snicket. He's got fucking ear hair. First of all, the author was Lemony Snicket. Oh. The character that you're referencing was Count Olaf. Got it. And he was played expertly by Jim Carrey. Didn't his house have like... It was like... Rickety? Yeah. Yeah, it had some rickets. Is that a thing?

What is a ricket? It's almost a cricket. No, but like when someone says something is rickety, you know what it is. It's like old and like creepy. So then what's a ricket?

I don't think that's like the origin of the word. Well, if I say something is... Rickety is the origin. Yeah, rickety. But like in order to be rickety, there needs to be a basis for what rickety is, which is a ricket. I don't know that that's true. Like if I were to say that you're... Yeah, well, you're describing like adding L-Y is... Adverb? No. Don't start pulling out language arts on me. Adverb. No, don't you dare. Don't you dare.

But I'm saying like, you know, it's crazy that the rise of pronouns and everything has really helped me like with that. Understand what a pronoun is like a noun, you know, an adjective, you know, but like a pronoun. Once you start adding like there's two syllable words, pronoun, adverb. I'm like, all right, we all know what an adjective is. It's a person, place or thing. I know what we all know what a pronoun is. We all know what a noun is. It's.

Person, place, or thing. That's an adjective. No, it's not. Oh, that's describing a person, place, or thing. A noun is a person, place, or thing. We all knew that. Wait, what are you talking about? I just wanted to make sure you knew. Knew what? What a noun was. I know what a noun is. Yeah, good. We all know that. You didn't know what a noun was? I knew what a noun was. Nice try. What's a adverb? You know.

Well, break it down. You can get this. You know what a verb is. A verb. It's what you do. I remember those commercials from back in the day. So then what would an adverb be? It's doing what you do. What? It's describing what you do. Yeah, like an example. Exactly. No, what is an example? Well, you give me an example, Mr. King Smart. Well, I know what it is. All right, let's say it at the same time. There could be any number of verbs. All right, so let's say if the verb is climbing, an adverb is quickly. Yeah. Yeah.

It describes the way that you do the verb. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what it is. And then a proper noun, obviously. Is that just like a name of a thing? Well, you tell me. I'm trying. I don't know. Is that just like the name? Like, oh, like St. Patrick's Cathedral? Why is that an example? Why? This has been a heavy, like... Religious kind of? Religious kind of talk. Religious and vampires? Top three cathedrals I've seen. St. Patrick's. Dude, I went to Notre Dame. I like St. Patrick's better. Yeah? Yeah.

I mean, I'm going to give it to Notre Dame because... It's older. Yeah, and I'm like... It's a couple years older. I'm in France, so this is cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it Notre Dame or Notre Dame? I think it's Notre Dame. Probably.

But you know. The other day, Becca said Notre Dame, and I said, that's wrong. You don't get to be both. I said that. I was like, that's wrong. She's like, you sure? I was like, yeah. Notre Dame. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah, no. But yeah, that's definitely top three cathedrals I've been in too. St. Patrick's. St. Notre. That ain't it. What does Notre Dame mean?

I don't know that it has a... I thought it was just like a... That's what it is. Well, Dom Dame is like... It's for a woman. Our lady. That's what it means? Our lady. Look at me. What? I'm a fucking genius, bro. You don't even know what an adverb is. I knew what it was. I just wanted to make sure you knew. What makes us good as a duo is we hold each other to high standards. And my standard for you is understanding what an adverb is. Is what you understand, exactly. Exactly.

Also, you brought up before that there's banned names. Can you... I want to know what they are. So I saw this thing that came out that there is a list of names that have been banned. I don't know why I said it like that. And I want to see... Some of these are pretty good. I don't think you... Are they like... They're not normal names. Some of them are. Like Trevor? No. You could still call yourself Trevor, although we probably shouldn't. What's wrong with Trevor? Well...

Just a name. Yeah, I thought there was like a reason. So one of the ones there, I'm going to go one further. Not only are they banned, apparently they're illegal. You can get in trouble if you try to name your kid this. So one of them is 1069.

1069 1069 yeah I don't what's that is that like a hip thing in the something community who the fuck is naming their child I mean I guess Elon Musk but like who's who else is naming their child I think Elon Musk goes to like a shooting range and like fires a gun at like a series of iron plates and then names his child that I think he farts on a calculator and then just goes this this is what I'm naming my kid

What was it? Like the one that was just like X-A-E. That's what I'm referring to. Omega N. And it was like, their name is Eric. And it was like, come on, man. What are you doing? But 1069? That feels like a specific number. Why don't we just outlaw all numbers? Does anyone... Do you know anyone with a number name? Their name was seven, but it was spelled... That's a sick name. That was spelled... It wasn't spelled the number seven. Right. But like also 1069? What is that? And why not just do like 42069? If you had to name your kid...

a number that wasn't seven what would you which one 11 cop out i mean you asked a question all right uh 90 i don't even know what you just said 90 90 90 why are you saying 90 because it's spelled with a t you pronounce that 90 i mean i i think for this the conversation i pronounce it 90 but like normally i'll say 90 oh oh yeah 90 uh 90

That's interesting. Like, this is my kid nine. 90. Like, thousand. Thousand. Thousand. Milli. Million. And then just be milli. That's a good one. Okay. Thousand. I was thinking like... Or billion. Billy. Yeah, like the big number. Like the full number. Amy or Kid Billion is crazy. They're, I'm sure... Those aren't bad names, though. Billion and million. I mean... 90's not bad either. I'm very good at this. 60. 60.

Nah. Alright, fucked up? Yeah. Why does Seven sound like such a good name? Seven's great. But it also sounds like Sven. That's probably what it was. It was probably like originally like Sven and then it was like Seven and then it just stuck. Yeah. I like... Is Ten a good name? Ten or One? So you criticized Sixty and you hate... You're going with Ten? I'm like... I'm trying it on. I'm not like committing to Ten. Eleven's a good one. Eleven is a really good one.

It's like it's... Nothing in the fives or fours. So like four... Five is... Five? It's like, oh, this is 58. 58 is crazy. Yeah. That sucks. 70 is good. So like 78. Oh, it's just 78. 78? Anything with an and, you got to toss that. Like 101. Yeah, no, no, no. 101. No. That's stupid. No. 78, 71, 70, 70, 78?

70 is not bad. Yeah. All right. What are we doing? 1069. The next one is at. Just the A with the circle around it. What are we doing? What are we doing? I'm not even kidding. If I met someone and they were like, this is my name, and they wrote it out like that, I'd be like, just on principle alone, I can't know you. At. Hi, I'm at. I'd be like, no, you're not. I'm going to call you Carl.

Yeah, I would like call them something not that. Addie. Oh, I guess that kind of works. Addie. Addie works. Addie. At. That's crazy. Next one is three, but it's just the Roman numeral for three. Aye, aye, aye. Aye, aye, aye. Oy, oy, oy. Aye, aye, aye. I guess if this child was named after Alpha Five from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, that would be their name. All right. Didn't understand that one at all.

Because he's saying, aye, aye, aye. Yeah. You know. Oi, aye, oi. And laughing too hard. Did you know what that was when he said, aye, aye, aye? He's laughing way too hard at that. It's so bad that it's good, right? No, it was good. Three is not great. All right. Next one, Messiah.

That's kind of a cool name. I agree. I kind of like this one. I get the religious, like, not, like, wanting people to be named Messiah, but, like... Yeah, I don't mind this one. You can name your kid Jesus. You can't name him Messiah? Next one on here, Jesus Christ. All right. You can name Jesus, but not Jesus Christ. Right. But, like, can you do Jesus Christopher? Jesus Christopher.

jesus christ and the messiah is a good one yo can i say something jesus christ is a great name that's just a good sounding name it's all right nah dude it was always gonna be jesus if i was to rename jesus christ i'd name him like matzah shrek i don't even know what he said was there shrek in there i heard matzah shrek is that what you said matzah

Master Shrek? Max. But now that I think about it, Max Shrek was the name of Christopher Walken's character in Batman Returns. His name was Max Shrek? That's just for me. Clearly. That's just for me. Jesus Christ is such a good name. It's such a power. It feels like there's light on it, you know? I think Max Shrek.

Or like something sharper than Jesus Christ. How do you feel about the name God? I don't think it's that good. Where does it come from? Jesus Christ is a better name. I feel like, yeah, I feel like God should be named like... Something cooler. Something cooler than God. What's cooler than God? Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Yeah, that's like better. Or like... Like have two names. Knife. Knife? Yeah. No, I wouldn't name God Knife. This is our... This is the one above all. What's their name? Stalactite.

That's not bad. Yeah. But that feels Greek. Like Greeks would probably be like, this is stalactite. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. He stole the sun from like, you know, someone or some shit. Yeah. Or like, you know what? Instead of God. Scissor. I'm just thinking of a sharp thing. It's very sharp. Yeah. I was thinking, I was thinking lesbians.

Okay. And God forbid we had a God named after lesbians, right? We have a lesbian God. What about like stone? Ooh, okay. Stone? It's too earthly. Well, what is God if not of this earth? He is partly of earth. He? Crazy. But they call him him, don't they? Or is that Jesus Christ still back to that great name? That's back to it. Next, both on here, king and queen.

Separate names. You could definitely name. I mean, King is obviously just for like pit bulls. Everyone knows. Those are pit bull names. Those are pit bull names. It's my dog, King. This is King. And I walk him with a leash, but the leash is a chain. It's a bike chain. It's a bike chain. And that's how I walk him. And he eats raw meat only. Come with me to get ready to feed my fucking pit bull human bone. And watch how I take a picture with him with my legs spread out. And he's standing in front of me like this. This is King.

Yeah. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm DMX. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm going to sit on my car hood and take a picture with my dog who's also on my car hood. And my dog, for some reason, has the biggest balls ever. Yep. Dude, people who have like, I think there's a correlation between people who use those big ass chains for their dogs and the dog's balls. I was going to say. They're usually crazy. I was going to say. Dude, there's a poodle in my building. The fattest balls. I'm like, what is that?

I was going to say there's probably a correlation between fat nuts on a dog, tiny cock on the male owner of that dog. I don't know. Dude, it's so rare that you see balls, and I saw balls in the wild, and I was like...

These are giant. On a poodle, nonetheless. I feel like I would never think a poodle was a boy dog. It's literally like I feel weird seeing it. I'm like, I shouldn't be seeing this. You shouldn't. Put some pants on this dog. Damn right. I think that if your dog has giant balls, you should put shorts on. Isn't that? Yeah, I agree. They should wear something. I don't want to see your dog's nuts everywhere. Because they don't look. They look like.

Balls, dog. Like, they do. They're dog balls, dog. Yeah. Like, it looks like a dude's fucking balls. Yeah. And, like, we're just out here on the street. I was walking home, and this tiny woman was walking this gigantic pit bull, and I was just like, if this dog wants a problem, we're both in trouble. Yeah, dude. Because it got big balls. No, yes. I'll be honest. If I'm attacked by a dog, I'd prefer it has balls, because then I got something to hit. We do have more sponsors. We do have more sponsors.

Okay, firmly I said if I'm gonna get attacked by a dog I'd prefer to be one with big testicles So I could have like a clear like bro when you play a video game. Let's play Zelda Let's play Zelda together and you see the big like the area on the boss that you need to hit with your weapons Then it's like alright like this is doable I know what I need to do here if a dog bites me and it's got nuts I know where to kick

easy as that the comparison you just made is so funny easy as that man yeah you know i don't need to wonder how i'm going to defeat this thing i see the weak spot and it's and it's the dog nuts bro you know what happened to me i was almost attacked by an animal i was walking my dog and there was a a goose and it was like that's it

They like, they do like, they like hiss. And then they go, fifth, fifth. God damn it. But they have their tongue out. Yeah. Yes. That's better. I don't know what I'm doing up here. Yours was not bad, I'll be honest. But like, they were like honking at me and then hissing at me. And I was like, you're lucky there's a fence in between. I'll fuck you up. Well, you remember my story when I almost had a fist fight a swan. This thing was big. I got bit by a swan at the zoo. I would have killed it. It got my finger a little bit. I liked it though. I wish.

Yeah. Why? I don't know. Just getting bit by a little... This one was foaming at the mouth, and I knew... A swan? Yeah. What, did it get fucked by a raccoon? How does that happen? I don't know. This stuff happens. Maybe it got attacked while it was out there. Yeah, I don't... Like, ducks are cute from a distance, brother. Like, cute...

Over there. Like, I don't need you. When I went to, when we were in London, I took a walk to whatever that park is called, but they had a bunch of swans, and they were, like, right up on me. Yeah, I don't fuck with that. They were cool, though. They were chill. No one honked. Honk. Honk. Honk. Honk. Honk. Honk. Honk.

Did you see the video that we were getting tagged in on TikTok where it's like you're walking alone at night? It says like an owl and it's you going like, who, who, who? And it's like a bunch of different ones that we were doing. I saw the one that was like us, but it was the story of Lion King. What? I missed that. Oh, it's a good one. It's a really good one. I'll show you after we record. But it's like, I don't know how people have the time to do this. Thank you, but also crazy. You were about to tell me what it was like and then you stopped.

You're like, it's like, it's like, I can't explain it. It's just like, it's, it's, it's us like talking and then the roar is in there. And then you being a cat. Uh, I think both of us being a cat are in there. Oh no, I was a cat. That's right. I think like you're talking about like, you're talking shit about Timon and Pumbaa. It's all in there. I saw one in Basin Yard, but it's, it's only animals. Yeah. The best one that I've seen, and it was one that we sent each other was the building a house.

Bro. Bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang. I was dying when I saw that. Some other names that we have on here that are also banned. Majesty. I don't know why. That's kind of a cool name. Bro, I know a kid that is a teacher, and there was a kid in his class whose name was Y-A-apostrophe-Majesty. Ya Majesty. That's cool. That was his first name. I like that. Ya Majesty. I like that one. I'm like, yo.

You don't like it? Eh. I like it. I think it's heavy. It's really heavy. It's heavy because it's like, bro, this is like, now you have to be like a royal dude. Or you can just be yourself. I know, but like your name's Your Majesty. I like Your Majesty. I think it's a cool one. Your Majesty. Who are we to judge? You're Joseph. First of all, no one's saying it's a bad name. I'm saying you don't hear that name. I know. You don't. You absolutely don't. Do you remember anyone that you went to school with? The only person I can remember was...

I guess I can't remember them. You mean like a weird name? I don't think I had anyone. Oh, Treasure. But that's not that weird. I had a princess in high school. I had a prince and princess, brother, sister, which makes it cooler. That kind of does. But then what if you had a third child? What do you name them? Jester? I think there's other. Duke? There's other ones probably. Duke is a good one. Duke. You go back around, probably Queen, King.

Prince and princess. Yeah, we had a princess in high school. I don't think there was anything else that was like... I think there was one kid named Shuffcock, but everyone just called him Shovecock. Shovecock is crazy. Yeah. There was kids in my high school that him, his brother, who was a year older than us, and their dad had the same name. Like, same first name, last name. Well, it was like George Foreman. George Foreman named all of his kids George Foreman.

That just doesn't make any sense. I don't even get the Strat. Yeah, like you're all George Foreman. This is my daughter, George Foreman. Yeah, weird. Two more on here. One of them I think you will obviously not like. Nutella. Nutella? Oh, that's a beautiful name. I think it's a great name. Why can't you name your kid Nutella? It's got to be like the brand was just like, don't do that. They're Italian. Are they also Luigi? Yeah.

What the fuck was that? I don't know. I don't know. Nutella. I love that name. I love that name. Nutella. Ella. Double L into an A names are great. You like those? Yeah. I'm trying to think of like other, like Isabella. I like Isabella. Angela. Esmeralda. Michaela. Where's the double L? Michaela. I've never seen it with double L's. No, but like anything that's like love. I think you mean phonetically like that. Yeah. Yeah. That's such a like.

Italian girl thing like Maria Angela Bella. I don't like that shit. Remember that back in the MySpace day? Every girl was Bella something. Yeah, yeah. You know, Anna Maria Bella la la la la la. You know? La Bella Stephanie. Like that was when it was even funnier when it was just like a clearly not Italian name. Like it was just like Michelle Simpson and they were just like La Bella Fucina Michelle Simpson. There was a girl growing up that...

I think it was like her MySpace name was like her name and then Bella. And still to this day, I refer to her as that. Yeah. She's still referred. Like we don't, I don't think we've ever used her last name. No. She's so-and-so Bella. Like everyone knows who we're talking about. Yeah. Like because of her MySpace name, it's like, oh, that's, I don't want to say her name, but like. Yeah. And then do you remember there was like a select few Italian guys that called themselves Bello and we call, and they were, they got roasted.

One of them I know that we called him Bello because he did it on his mic. Yeah, he was like... I don't call him that anymore, though. I've seen him. Oh, I haven't seen him. I think I've made that name. I also wouldn't call him that. I would probably just call him by his regular name, but back in the day, he was like, I'm Bello. Bello so-and-so. I'm not going to say his name. I almost slept up. You saw that? Yeah. I like Bello, actually. As a dude's name? Yeah, it sounds kind of cool. Bello and Bello? I'm sure there's dudes named Bello. Um...

Santa Claus. Can't call your kid Santa Claus. That seems disrespectful. That feels crazy to do. I'm paying respect to one of my favorites. This is my son's Santa Claus? That's so crazy. That would be awesome. That would be the coolest kid in school if we were kids. What would your daughter's name be? Easter Bunny? Could be. Or maybe they're named after... Maybe that Santa Claus could be named after when they were conceived. Then the next kid could be Cinco de Mayo. That would be Christmas.

Yeah, but like... It would be Santa Claus. Yeah, but they can't... Clearly, they can't go with the Christ part of it. So, they're just like, this is Santa Claus. And it's like, why are all of our kids named after like generally like holidays? Like, here's St. Patrick. Here is Cinco de Mayo. Here is Arbor Day. Here is Santa Claus. Arbor Day. Christmas is a way better name than Santa Claus. I disagree. I like the last name Christmas. There's people with that last name. I like that. Isn't there like a football player recently with the last name Christmas? Yeah.

I don't know. Couldn't tell you. But I like the last name. Lloyd Christmas from. Oh, Lloyd Christmas. That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And the last one here is obviously Adolf Hitler. You added that one. No, I did not. Wow. It's on there. It's on there. Yeah. That feels like a without like, yeah, I don't have to say it. You know, what's sad is that people have tried to use that one probably more than the others. What? Like there's some, I'm sure there's people that are just like,

We're going to, we're going to, why does he get to ruin the name? You know? Well, I think that you could probably still use Adolf. I feel like that's a popular name. Yeah, but people probably. I would probably steer clear just because. I would, I would avoid it. Because of the assoc. Yeah. I would even just avoid Adolf. That's what. Oh, that's what you're saying. That's what I'm referring to. Gotcha. You're not going to be like, hey, this is my son Adolf. Are there still people with the last name Hitler?

Because, like, that is such a specific. This may be a dumb thing to say. Was that his real name? I think. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know why, but I felt like maybe that wouldn't be his actual name. I don't think it's a dumb question. I don't think it's a dumb question either. I think you're okay with asking that. But, like, boy. Absolutely. It was his name. It was his last name. Did he have any other, like, names? Like a middle name or something? No. I don't know Hitler's middle name.

What is this show? What is it? The way you said it. No, I don't know Hitler. Yeah, I think we retire that one. Not retire it. I think we piss on it. Yeah, we could pee on it. We could pee on it. Bury it. Yeah. You know. Also, Adolf, just not a great name. Yeah, it's sharp. And the back end of it, Hitler, definitely not a great name. Don't like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, we should talk about something. Yeah. Before we get out of here. You know, I'm really glad that we saved that for after the ads because I'm sure they wouldn't be happy about that. What did you say? The dog with the balls. I think you've never been attacked by a dog. I have. Like in real life. Yeah. Are you OK? Yep.

When I was younger, I was going to Steinway Deli. I was with my mom, and there was a dog outside, and he was a big dog. But I was also a kid, but I do remember this. And he broke the chain and just jumped on me. He didn't bite my face, but he jumped on me and knocked me down, and my mom screamed, and the guy ran out. How did that not ruin dogs for you forever? I feel like if that happened to a kid... I mean, if he mauled my face, I'd probably be like, all right, I don't really trust dogs. Yeah, but I'm saying still that would...

Like, terrify you. One of our friend's dogs snapped at me and, like, I think, like, just grazed me, but, like, it wasn't bad. Who? It was our, remember our friend Shane had two dogs? It was, like, Dolly or Molly or something like that. What kind of, were they sheps? They were, no, I think they were white and fluffy. Oh. They were bigger dogs. Oh, were they? Yeah, they weren't small.

And well, maybe, I don't know, maybe because we were young. So, yeah, you know, it's possible. But yeah, I remember they snapped and I was just like, oh, shit. Some little white dogs are fucking assholes. Bro, small dogs. They're kind of dicks. The scariest dog I've ever met in my entire life was a Pomeranian. This thing was when I say vicious, that would be a good word for it. It was pretty vicious. I hate when like I see videos on the Internet of people's dogs and they're like.

like touching their feet or something like and they're like showing their teeth and they're like oh this is how he plays and I'm like bro this dog is gonna kill you one day yeah like it's not normal we always forget that animals like even domesticated animals are still animals when my dog was a puppy and they're finding out like how much they can bite you or whatever the fuck or sometimes he would like snap at you when they're puppies I would get in this guy's face like a football coach what are you gonna do huh do it

Do it if you're going to do it. Like, I'd be right in his face. Shame this dog. Literally. I could just end it right now if you want to. What would you do seriously? Seriously. If you had a child and Charlie, like, bit and latched on to that. Let me tell you something. I've thought about this. Like, if a dog, like, attacked one of my kids, like, I'm going to say to Becca, like, take the kids inside. It's going to get messy out here. Frank, I would, like, I love my fucking dog.

I would kill it with my bare hands. Yeah. That's what I thought. That's what you should do. I would literally snap its neck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it would depend what happened. Like, if, like, a kid walked over and, like, pulled the tail of the dog, like, mad hard, and it turned around and, like, bit their hand or something, then, like— I'm not—that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying this thing— But, like, it's out of nowhere. This thing latches on.

For no reason. For fuck a reason, dude. I think that matters. But, bro, okay, it pulled its tail, but it latched on and it has its fucking canines in this thing's arm and it's not letting go. I mean, you kick it as hard as you can. My point is, like, here, I'm murdering that dog. There's dogs that just snap one day and attack. In that case, like, I'm killing the dog where it lays. But, like, I'm saying if a child, like,

Like pulled on a dog's tail or something like that. And it was like whatever. I'd be less inclined to be like, all right, there's something wrong with this dog. Like, you know, whatever. But some dogs that just snap and they're like attack. I can't. Yo, I've seen videos of it's like dogs just snapping and like going after one of the kids. Yeah, no. I can't. I can't even put myself in the mentality of what I would do because...

It's fucking heartbreaking. It's a weird question. I'm sorry, go. No, what were you going to say? Do dogs, like, get dementia and stuff? Like, the dogs that snap, like, eventually, are they, like, just losing it mentally? I don't know why they do it, but it does happen for whatever reason. I don't know why. I think that maybe they get territorial and there's a new baby, so it feels like this is a threat to their dynamic. I don't know. But, like, it's definitely happening. I remember because my brother has a dog that...

like has killed like rabbits in their backyard so they were nervous about having a baby because of this dog he's a husky so they were just kind of like dude do we even like take is even worth this risk or whatever the fuck um but the dog's like super chill nice dog like nothing ever happened but like

It's a concern because that does happen. Like, especially with dogs. I mean, my dog, the breed is not like typically, at least I don't think, or like Charlie's the biggest bitch in the world, by the way. Um, but like,

There are certain breeds that are more susceptible to being like... They could do damage and hurt people and have a tendency to do stuff like that. Or also if they were in a pound and have some sort of PTSD or something like that, and something could set them off. It's terrifying, bro. Terrifying. But I've also seen videos of dogs like...

kids. Yeah. I've seen those. And those are nuts. Yeah. Where it's like there's like a like a wild dog runs across the street and this thing like runs in and tackles the dogs. That's so crazy. Yeah that is cool. It's so it's so interesting. Yeah.

Now we've got to end on this. Should we go back to talking about Hitler? Probably not. I feel like this is probably better, to be honest with you. Anyway, I think that is all for today, folks.
