injury or, you know, disability or something like that. I'm saying like, I signed up for a service. You meet me at the base of my office building and I just get in this big, you're doing this on like a lunch break. Yeah. Or like from the, from like the, my building to this, you know, train station. And like, I lay down, you bundle me up, you tuck me into a blanket and you just wheel me to the train station. And then I get out, get on the train, I get home.

I love how you're trying to like say that last part. So it just makes the whole thing sound more normal. It's like, and then I just get home. I go to work. Tell me a service that basically treats you like a giant baby. It wouldn't be kind of cool. But you could just get driven around in a car. Yeah. But a lot of people get motion sickness in cars. A lot of people don't like, you know, like there's a sense of, you know, like you don't feel safe. You don't feel more safe if someone was pushing you in a giant stroller. Yeah. Kind of. Yeah. You're going to tell me that doesn't sound sick. What about...

What's the... Rig... Rig... Rig... Rig saw? Rig and Tony? Rig Shaw? Rig Shaw's? What the hell is that? Rig Shaw's? Hack saws? What's it? What are you talking about? The ones where it's like you sit in the back and I pedal my bike. Rig saw? Rig Shaw? I have no... Rig Shaw. I have no idea what you're saying. I have never heard the word that you're even trying to pull out. Like the dudes who... Like...

By Central Park, it's like, yo, get in the back. And they, like, pedal with the bike. I know what you're referencing. That's called, like, a rickshaw. Rickshaw. I mean...

That's a stupid word, I imagine. But that's the same thing that you're describing. No, but I want to be laying down and like tucked into a blanket and cozy and looking up. What is this laid down? I like to lay down. So he's, is he driving a bike? A taxi service. No, they're pushing me like I'm a baby. But you don't even push babies laying down. Yes, they do. There are some strollers that are like bassinet style where the baby lays down. Oh.

Oh, right. They're very small. Yeah. Like the Wizard of Oz type of shit. Sure. But like they can have certain like strollers have like a thing on them that you can turn them so they're completely, you know, horizontal, perpendicular to the ground. So you want to just take a nap while being outside.

But like being pushed around and then just like kind of just like doze off a little bit. Just you're overcomplicating this. The way I've described this. You could just take a nap. The way that I have described this is perfect. A giant stroller for big adults. Right. You know? Well, the answer is it doesn't exist. So go ahead. Open up your business and we'll see. I'm just saying. I will not be investing. Don't ask. I didn't ask for your money, bitch. Good. Maybe a repost or two might be nice. You know?

But like a service where like people just sign up. I come because you're going to tell me, I know you don't have kids of your own yet, but you're going to tell me you haven't seen a baby in a stroller and just be like, Dan, that looks like that is so sick.

I don't think about that, but sometimes I do think when I see a child in a stroller and I go, he's too old to be in that thing. Okay. You ever see that? But you're only saying that because you're like one of those just like, he needs to get up, he needs to rub dirt on his face, and he needs to get a couple scrapes on his hands. No, I'm looking at him being like, think that kid's nine.

Listen, I think if you could fit in a stroller and you want to get pushed around a little bit, go for it. Absolutely. It does get weird when it's like you're now. I mean, I know you're trying to set up a service where you can get in a stroller as a human. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That sounds great. There are people out there that are crapping in their diapers and letting fucking their adult, you know, significant others clean them up in the comfort of their own home. Weird. It's, I mean, it's weird to you.

You're going to tell me if someone took your bed. My bed. You like your bed. Yes. Okay. Someone took your bed, put it on wheels, and said, I'm going to wheel you through Central Park, and you can just lay here comfy and cozy. I feel strange. Come on. Laying down, taking a nap while being pushed around in public? I'm not falling asleep in public. First of all, fine. You don't need to be falling asleep, but you can just be laying down, taking in the sights from your back. I could go for a leisurely stroll, too. Joey, come on. Oh.

Oh no, that wouldn't work. Oh yeah. Well, thank God because I, whatever you were excited about, I was ready to say, Frank, please. I was going to, I was going to be, it was going to be basically my same idea, but it's a massage chair.

Okay. You know what you should do? Type all these things in and then see what you get back. Because now that we have all the AI and everything, you'll find out, is this a good idea? Is it already invented? Well, we got to be careful. We got to be careful because AI has been up to some shit lately and we don't, we can't. It's taking our jerbs, our jobs. Not our jobs. Well, actually they might come for our jobs. You saw those AI podcasters? I did see that, but we barely have jobs. We barely. Yeah. We or me. Yeah. Yeah.

You do a lot more than I do. But no, the AI, like it's starting to make the turn. It's starting to get into like- They're killing. They're killing. They're trying. AI's killing? You didn't hear about the AI bot that told the kid to like kill himself? Unalive himself? There goes the monetization. Yeah, there we go. There it goes, baby. Wait, what? Get them all out of the way now. Porn. Yeah, right. You know? Wait, hold on. T. AI told a-

A person to... A student, a young man. A student? Yeah. I don't know if it was a man, but a student-aged child. What did they say? What did they say? Was it like up for debate? So this kid... All right. So you know how like now when you Google something, sometimes AI... It'll give you like an answer. Yes. Yes. I will say I love that feature. I know. It's helped me a lot. People have proven that it's not that accurate because they've done like... You saw the thing where it's like how many R's are in the word strawberry? Yeah.

No. There was someone, I think they asked like chat GPT. Three. Yes. But chat GPT like insisted it was only two. And there are ways obviously that you could break it. You don't need to rely on these things. It's like Wikipedia. It doesn't mean just because it's there and they're telling it to you doesn't mean it's all factual. But the one that people Google so that someone was Googling something to get like information on a paper. So I'm going to read to you what the kid said that he was Googling.

He's like, I was asking questions about how to prevent elder abuse. Hold on. Wait, what? I was asking questions about how to prevent elder abuse and how we can help the elderly. This person told the Wall Street... I don't know what news article it was. But nothing that I said would have warranted the response that I got. So this is what AI... So he was asking like, yo, how do we stop elderly people from being abused? Clearly like looking...

to get sources. I know, jokes aside, you never went to high-level college writing classes where you had to really go through APA format and look up sources and all that shit. But this is what, after I guess going back and forth, I don't know what the full exchange was, but oh yeah, the person was 29, it's happened to you, so not a child, but a student in some capacity. Student at 29, geez. Says, this is for you, human. You and only you.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. I love how they're like trying to like not get canceled. AI is just like, this is for you. Only you. You and only you. Google said this to them? The Google AI, I believe. I don't want to say the name of it. Allegedly. Wait, what? Just be careful. Google might come for us. What do you not want to say? The name of the Google, I think it's called Gemini. Oh, the machine thing. The AI service that they have. This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special. You are not.

You are not important and you are not needed. What? You are a waste of time and resources. AI is saying this to a person who's trying to help elderly. Hey, I'm going to try to help the elderly. It's like, you let them die. You suck your waste. Wow. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. Gotta say, this AI is way too many examples. You are a stain on the universe. More? Please die, please.

Please die, please. Yo, I can't even imagine how I'd react to reading that. Yo, this, first of all, this AI just absolutely, like, eviscerated this guy. You are a stain on the universe. You are a play. A blight on the landscape. It's like, yo, chill out. What is a blight again? It's like a, like a blemish.

I love those context clues that you used there, Joey. No, but I've heard that. A plant disease, a deteriorated condition meant to spoil something. Yeah. Okay. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a disease on the beautiful landscape that is life. That is... That's hysterical. A diss. Dude, this AI system just absolutely diced, cooked, ate, and shat out this kid. And I don't want to victim blame, but who is this guy? What?

That's the other thing is we don't know what he put in there where he was just like yeah like how to save the elderly By giving them arsenic, you know, yeah, like maybe he would maybe the I just kill the elderly Yeah, maybe I was like trying to do something here, but it was terrifying. Yeah, he was he had been quoted as saying like I'm gonna pull up bro. I was freaked out. My heart was racing I threw I wanted to throw out all my devices and

And I felt I hadn't felt panic like that in a long time. I guess that is very terrifying to be like, oh my God, am I fucking devices like talking to me now? Dude, I remember when I was we were young. Fuck. Now I have to bring this thing up that I saw the other day. Oh, no, you're going to be fucking pissed. I remember when we were young, there was this thing that phones used to do were like if I was leaving you a voicemail and then someone else called and I took that call and then I hung up the voicemail called me back.

Right, yeah. And I remember the first time it happened, I was just like, what the fuck? Yeah. Like, I was so freaked out because the idea of, like, technology having, like, the autonomy to do that. Just like, this is what every movie is telling me to be afraid of. Yeah. And that shit. But, like, if that happened to me, I would be petrified, dude. Yeah, we're already scared when our phones are like, oh, I mentioned shoes and now it's telling me to buy shoes. Yeah. But imagine your phone's like, yo. You're fucking insane.

Like, I feel like, what? You have to imagine, like, I seriously, like, thinking, like, not in a jokey way at this point, but, like, God forbid that were to happen to somebody that, like... Dude. ...does have self-harm ideations and stuff like that. Like, that's in... Like, that could be life-changing. Of course. You know, and then that opens up an entire floodgate of... Who's liable. Exactly. I mean...

You would imagine it would be Google in that point, right? The developers, maybe? I don't know. Right? How does that accidentally happen? This is what's happening is like AI is getting enough information at this point that it's just like, just stop. Dude, I almost like, how could you... I don't even know what you would have to type in for that to be the thing that you kick back at me. Yeah, because I've never...

I don't think I've had like a long, long conversation with AI, but like... You try chat GPT. Hello. Yeah. And I know people that use chat GPT to like help them with like diet, you know, workout routines. Didn't we do a thing where we were like trying to date people? We were trying to riz up like different characters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Joe Biden would like... Joe Biden wouldn't date me. Super Mario was pretty pissed off at me. Foghorn Leghorn. Yeah.

That's a great episode back in the annals of Patreon. Go check it out. It's really funny. Back in the annals. Yeah. Jeez. But could you... Honestly...

Bro. If this thing says it to you, do you then have to open up and start dissing this guy? I mean, yeah, I'm going back at it. Like, if you're going to talk shit to me, I'm talking shit to you. It's like, yo, you're nothing. You're literally nothing. I can go out and I can... My lights go out that night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you imagine? My car blows up. I am now scared thinking about ramifications of this. But I think if that did happen to me and I started to feel like, oh my God...

My devices are sort of listening to me. Like, even if it was not like that, even if it was like positive or something, like I had been having a conversation about something I was nervous about or whatever, and my phone the next morning randomly was like, hey, good luck on your whatever. I'd be like, what the fuck are you doing? Well, it's well known that most... They listen. Social media apps... I don't know about listening, but they do track your activity across other apps that are not their own. Like, that is...

What like people have figured and not even just figure that out, but like it says it in like their terms of service and stuff like that. So yeah, I think the thing that would freak me out, like I know they're doing that, but like if they start interacting with me, I don't want to talk like all these like Tesla robots and shit like that. Like,

Because they're just one time just gonna be like no and I'm just gonna be like yeah Yeah, yeah, you know put it in the tub. Yeah Yeah, if my Alexa like said something that didn't sound robotic I'd be like I bet you going in the tub. Damn you would threaten your Alexa. I wouldn't threaten it I would just act

Wouldn't even let it know that it was Alexa I am going to put you in a non winnable situation someone's fucking Alexa just went crazy just now they're probably like what are you gonna? Know I love doing that as a prank to people when I'm on speakerphone. Yeah, Frank They got Frank break big get Frank Frank Frank watch this Alexa buy adult diapers Yeah, you know check out check out

Check out. This is... What did you say you saw the other day that freaked you out? Oh, fuck, yeah. I was on TikTok, and I really don't like learning about new stuff. New stuff, yeah. New stuff freaks you out. Well, just like scary stuff that I'm like, I lived a life up until this point that I didn't know this existed. The world is a scary place, and everything that is new is meant to kill you. So go ahead. You need to go to therapy.

No, but so I saw this video and it was this girl and she was like filming herself and it was like half her face, half the ceiling. And she was like, it was something, there was something written there. I didn't like the video because I was like, I don't want this to come back. But it was like, she was with her husband in the same room and she's like, I can hear you upstairs. So she's hearing his voice upstairs, right? And she's freaked out and she's using this word called mimic. And apparently that's a thing.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a... Like mimics. It's like a tall... Yeah, what's the... There's another name for them, but like... It's like a Slenderman type of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But... Fuck. There's another word for it. I'm going to try to think of it, but keep going. But... So she's filming and I'm going through the comments of people like, I can hear them say this or whatever the fuck. And he's sitting there and he's being like, I don't hear anything because he...

She even wrote, she's like, my husband couldn't hear it, blah, blah, blah. So they're talking and you kind of hear some stuff in the background that sounds like a voice saying shit. And then they eventually go upstairs. Well, they hear a loud noise.

And they go upstairs and like in the middle of the room is this little like not it's like this big but it was like heavy and it looked like a fucking like birdhouse or some shit but it was like filled with stuff and they were like the cats couldn't have knocked that over and like what the hell is going on. Skinwalkers is one of the ones that people that maybe that they talk about like mimic they can like mimic sounds and like they can like shift.

Yeah, and I was just like, bro, I don't need this. Like fucking anamorphs. Now I'm going to be listening for shit, and I just can't have that. Dude, there was one time I swear to God that this happened. We were home, all of us. Your current house? Yeah. Fucking come in there on Friday. I know. And I'm like in the kitchen, and I hear the most clear version of it. Wait, where were you? I was like in the kitchen. And the most clear version, I heard Becca go like,

Hey, babe, can you come here for a sec? Or something like that. That's a long sentence. And I walk into the room where she's doing something. I'm like, yeah, what's up? And she's like, what's up? And I'm like, you called me in here. She's like, no, I didn't. And I like, I like got like visibly freaked out. I was just like, you, you just said to come in here. And she's like, no, I did not. And I'm like,

First of all, you did that to her too. She probably got freaked out. I'll be honest. I went and I checked the rest of the house. It was like during the day. I would have too. If it was at nighttime, hotel, here we come. I'm telling you right now. I checked to make sure like all the doors and windows were locked and shit like that. I've done that before. Did I tell you that happens in one of my apartments? I went to the bathroom and I was getting out of the bathroom and it felt like someone was pushing on the door. Like preventing me from getting out.

And I was like, the fuck are you doing? And I think Danny was there. So I opened the door and I'm like, what the fuck was that? But he was all the way in a different room, pretty far away on the computer. I was like, what are you doing? And he's like, what? And I'm like, you were just pushing the door, like preventing me from getting out. He's like, no, I wasn't. I'm like, dude, I was trying to get out of this door.

and someone was pushing it like i had it cranked trying to get out and i couldn't oh no it was it wasn't even going this way i was going that way oh like someone was holding it so someone was holding it yeah because bathroom doors open inward and i opened it and i and he wasn't there and i was like

Didn't stay there that night. I went and slept with my mom. I was like a child. Dude. No, there, I've never had like interactions like that, but like now if I'm home and my fucking AI system does some shit like that. No. Bye. Bye. Bye. You know, let me tell you that realistically, right? Like,

If it was nighttime and like everyone was asleep and you heard that, what do you even do? Waking up the whole family and getting out. Every single light. The lights? Fuck the lights. I'm turning the lights. Diving through the door. Oh my God, dude. I'm serious. But like there have been instances where like people will hear like their Alexa laugh at them randomly or some shit like that, right? That's worse than them threatening me. Really? If my Alexa was like,

I'm gonna kill you. I'd rather hear that than it laugh. Than just go, "Ha ha ha ha." Frank, I'm telling you, I would throw it into the East River.

Oh, you can see that's actually, that's right outside my window. Outside of your window. Yeah, that's pretty cool. But I'd be very scared. Nah, yeah. The laughing is way worse. Way worse. There are those, fuck, I wish I could think of those. I don't know if it's way worse. My Alexa saying I'm going to kill you is crazy. Yeah, that'd be crazy. But like, then at least you could fight the thing. You know what I mean? Like if it's just laughing at you. I'm going to fight a speaker. Yeah, why not? Because I'm going to destroy the speaker. I'm letting you know right now, if that speaker says anything to me, I'm taking a hammer and I'm having the most fun. Frank, think about this.

You unplug it and you hammer it and it keeps talking. Yeah. There's a horror movie here, babe. I mean, why has someone not written this yet? I'm actually thinking there are plenty probably. I'm getting a dustpan and I'm bringing it to a blacksmith and I'm going to say, pour hot lava on it. Yeah. And kill it because I can't have that in my house. No, yeah. Do you still have that like talisman in your house that your wife has? It's on her.

Do you remember that? Yeah, dude. Do I remember it? Is it in your house? It is still in my house. It's time to go. I know. I have wanted to get rid of that thing so bad. Look what I found. Isn't this cool? No, it isn't. I've said to her openly. I was just like, this is not cool. Yeah, that's terrible. We almost, I told you, but we had put a bid on a house and I was just like, yeah, the only drawback was that like, maybe like a hundred yards behind the backyard fence, there was like a cemetery and you were like,

That's the worst thing that was like, that's a big red flag. Yeah. I remember when I went to see the house, I was just like, uh, why are they leaving? Like, cause apparently like real estate, they have to tell you. That was a very nice house too. So like really like legally they have to tell you. And it was underpriced. Like they, for like that area, they were like really like, you know, like selling it for like cheap. Oh my God. There's zombies in there. And I, I said to them, cause I'm,

Becca went to real estate. She got her license and she told me, she's like, legally, they have to tell you if someone believes it's haunted or like if a murder was committed in the house or something like that. Ask you a question. No. Actually, let me get to the first round of ads. Okay. And then I'm going to ask you a question. Okay, I'm scared now. But it has to do with a house and like what you just said. Oh boy, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, it's not like a scary question. Don't worry, but we do have some ads for today The first one being rocket money rocket money.

I'm like, oh no. Yeah, yeah, I scroll out. Something spooky is upon us. I don't like that. Yeah. I also don't like the deep sea one we've talked about. Yo-ho. I'm like, chill, chill. Yeah, because it's like you're going to see fucking Cthulhu or like a giant, you know, like snake. Yeah, I don't like that at fucking all. What's this house? What's this house? So then I was going to ask you a question. Like, if you found a house and you're like, this is amazing. It's in our price point. We have it. Blah, blah, blah. And you basically can get it. But...

Eight years ago, someone was killed in a murder. Would you take it? That's so tough. Yeah. And it's not like a guest room murder. It's like it started in the master and it ended in the living room. In every house? No, no, no. I mean, in every room in the house? No, no, no. Just the two main ones. That's really tough. I think personally, probably not. Really? Yeah. I think just because like...

I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it. Like, it would fuck me up. You know? And, like, I've seen too much of, like, Amityville horror and shit like that where it's just like, it's in the walls! The walls are bleeding! Well, no, it's not... It's not haunted. Like, you don't... Like, you won't experience hauntings. Yeah, but, like, the idea that something, like...

so wickedly evil happened in this place right here. Wickedly talented. I would also need to know, I'll be honest with you, I would have to know about the murder. Like, I would be more inclined to take it if it was just like someone tried breaking in and the patriarch of the family like killed the guy right here. No, no, no. The people who own the house were killed there. That would be like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I couldn't, I couldn't do it. And honestly, they should have torn that fucking place down. Like, there was a, there's a really famous, um,

That's kind of a weird way to put it, but like a true crime thing that happened in a place called Cheshire, Connecticut, where they were called like the Cheshire home invasions or something like that. It's really fucked up. But like, since I went to school in Connecticut and it was a criminal justice school, we had heard about this thing a thousand times. And I would hope that that house or whatever that place was, was just tore down so no one could go back in it. But-

If it were like the person was defending their home and they killed an invader, an invader, an alien, and then, you know, someone, I guess that's technically a burglar. Yeah. Then I'd be more inclined to think about it. But if it were like something fucking sad and grisly and just, I wouldn't be able to do it. Do you, do they have to disclose that?

If you ask, I'm sure they do. You know, I can't—I don't know about, like, everywhere because obviously each state and, like, maybe even counties have different regulations on, you know, real estate, what you have to, like, disclose and shit like that. When you think about it— I would fucking hope so. But when you think about it, someone, like, at some point in the history of Earth probably died on your doorstep.

On my doorstep? Or like in where my house now sits? Yeah, like you know what I mean? Yeah, that's different. But like you're not going to want to like if you find out like the movie Poltergeist. The whole thing with the Poltergeist, that movie is like isn't the house like built on like a Native American burial ground? Like. Oh, shit like that. You're not going to want that. Sure, an animal or maybe even a person died where my house currently sits. But like that doesn't mean like within the confines of my home. Like, okay, fresh example. The.

Menendez brothers. Talking about dead bodies and dead people and then saying fresh doesn't make you beat the allegations. But like... Which allegations? Just like all you weird lizard people, Illuminati rich people. Yeah, that's what I am. But like that house...

Someone lives there. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. But that's different because that's like a world famous. But that's even more like everyone knows that people died here. Yeah. I mean, people live in like, I think people live in the Amityville house now too. I don't think. Can you just tear down a house because someone died in it? Or got murdered, I mean. I think you can tear down a house if you wanted to. No, right. If you want to. But it's like not a real, like, I don't know.

I think you can. I think I would. Like when someone asked me that recently, and I can't remember like what the context of the conversation was, but in my head, I'm like, my gut reaction is to say no, like I wouldn't take the house. But then I'd feel like I'll probably forget pretty quickly. I will never forget. Why? Dude. You're going to put a market X down? Be really honest. Be really honest. Well, you watch TV and fall asleep watching TV, right? Yeah. I don't.

I shut everything off and I sit there and I have my own thoughts and fall asleep that way. Okay. Everything that I've done in my entire life comes back into my head in those moments. You're going to tell me, and obviously I'm- You're haunting yourself. I'm exaggerating for the sake of this story, but you're telling me that you wouldn't think about the fact that someone was murdered. If they told Joey, get the fuck out of here.

You are fucking no way if you bought a house and they said see this spot right here Someone was murdered right here. You would think about it every time you walked by it bitch And I know you you absolutely would I would I would think about it more if it was like Creepy stuff would happen or I walk by and it was like a cold breeze Or or because of something like that you would just start

Giving, you know, like, not even justification, but like answers to things that just like strange things that happened by coincidence. What if I like... I know you. What if you renovate the room? What about that? Doesn't matter, babe. This is the whole thing about the ship of Theseus, man. You could take away the boards, but it's still a ship, right? But you said you would knock it down and build on it. Yeah.

Yeah, but build a brand new. You're saying renovate. You want to build the whole thing? Yeah. What about renovate that room where they happen? Like, get rid of the old- No, because it still happened in those walls. Those walls will speak to you. No, you can knock the walls. Yeah. The studs that are there, Joey. So the murder happened in the studs of the house. The studs see everything.

We got to get new studs now. I mean, I imagine like personally, that's how I would think. And you know, I'm a weirdo with that shit. I'd be like, the nails are the same nails that were in the floor. The stringers are the same. You know, like I would think all that shit.

Yeah, bitch. And you would too. And if you even for a single second try to think it... Because you know what would happen? I could be swayed. You know, I don't think so. I really could. You'd have... You'd be in your living room and a bird would fly into the window and you'd be like, we got to go. We got to get out of here right now. It's the murder. Well, I... It would... But here's the thing. If it was like someone broke into this house and...

stabbed the fucking whatever. Like if it was something like that, I think I definitely would not be upset. It would suck. It would suck. It would definitely suck. But if it was something like someone was trying to rob the house and someone came down and there was a struggle and someone was stabbed and they died, that to me is way less scary than being like someone came in, didn't take anything and killed these two people in their bed. I'd be like, what the hell?

I think... But also if that happened in like the 70s, I'd be like, all right, you're nuts. No way. That's so wrong. Absolutely no way. Absolutely bullshit. Okay.

You're telling me it would be absolutely no if there was like two people or let's just say a family that lived in this house for over a decade with no problem beforehand and that was it. By the way, hold on. Josh, go through and every time we said anything, just put on the live. All right? Thanks. No. It's a wrap now. Can you repeat yourself? Because I wasn't listening to you. Was that an actual note that you're giving Josh? No, obviously not. No. If...

Like there was a murder that happened. Yeah. And then afterwards, a family at some point lived there and they lived there from 1984 until 2024. And then you're taking that house from these people who lived there for that long and nothing happened. You had me freaked out. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm taking it. You're crazy. Especially after that. I mean, I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. Okay. Okay.

So does the level of crime dictate if you take that place or not? The level of crime? Yeah, like how heinous it is. Because murder is considered like one of the worst crimes you can commit. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Real quick question. Yeah. Someone comes over to you and they say, listen, we have this really beautiful house. We'll give it to you for a really discounted price. It's in a really nice part of Florida. A lot of really wealthy people live in this area. Yeah.

Super reduced price. Normally it would go for $50 million. We'll give it to you for two. Maybe it was owned by a New York financier. And there's some stuff that happened here. No. No? No. Oh, interesting. How is that interesting? That's so different. No, it's not different. Of course it's different. Okay. If I go home right now.

Probably shouldn't use this example. Yeah, what are you about to say? But like, it's just, it matters if the thing was like sinister or not. That's why I'm saying like, if someone just came in, but like if someone like trying to steal from your house and then killing you because there's a struggle is different than going in and like cutting them long ways and opening and laying.

Yeah, but you're speaking about the time that has elapsed since said crime, no matter the severity of it. That crime. No, I'm not saying... I'm not saying... My example. Of course that's insane. Yeah, okay. I'm not staying in a place like that. But like, it definitely matters the severity. If there was like this brutal, like crazy killing that happened, that would really deter me. But if it was like...

But it happened 80 years ago. Does that deter you less? 80? Now it's completely up for grabs. Really? If it was like a double murder homicide. Crazy. Like thing. Crazy, dude. But it was like 80 years ago. Crazy. Bro, you're probably living in a house now that someone was killed in at some point. People have died in that house. No, Joey. Old people die? Yeah, but my house was built in like 67. It's not that old. You don't think someone's died in that house? Even like an old bird?

No, I don't know. What makes you think that no one dies in the house? Someone died in my dad's apartment. So, there you go. And he got rid of the chair that they died in. That's an easy one. That's an easy one. I don't want the old skin particles of a dead person here. Yeah, that would be bad, right? Imagine they died in this bed, but we flip the mattress. We just... We don't like to look at the other side. Oh, I hate that when you see forensic files and they show you they've cleaned up the house, but they're still clearly like, you see the spot. Yeah.

Can you explain to me how a mattress gets to looking like a mattress? Like, at the end of a mattress's life. What's on there? What is that? Sweat. But like, how? I've got a cover and sheet. Yeah, and guess what they're all made of, Joey? Cloth.

Yeah, baby. Guess what is wildly absorbent? But I'm not... Frank, there's this fucking big brown thing like this. How am I sweating like that? Sometimes you sweat like that. You might not realize it. It also could be from just 30 years of oil and lovemaking. Love. You know, lovemaking could be a very sweaty... That's true. Wet. Yeah. Disgusting. Yeah! Just absolutely drenched. Yeah!

You know what I'm saying? Maxes are disgusting. You know what I'm saying? And pillows.

Did I get a head wound in the middle of the night? Did I bleed all over this thing? You're going to make fun of me. I still have a pillow from when I was a teenager. That is disgusting. Pull it out of the things and send me a picture of it. It's probably bronze. It's not gold. I will tell you that. You're going to make fun of me for this, but one of my prized possessions in college was I had a pillow from when my parents were still together.

And it was an old down pillow. And I was, look at me, look at me in the eyes. I was heartbroken when this thing finally broke. Heartbroken. I'm sorry for laughing. I know you're laughing at it. Heartbroken when this thing broke. Yeah, dude. Because you were like, this pillow. It meant a lot to me.

It did. And you still have a pillow from when you were what? I still have a pillow from when I was a kid, yeah. And I still have a pillowcase from when I was a kid. Is it still on it? No. Do you use it? I use the pillow, not the pillowcase. You use the pillow. But we like cycle pillows in and out. Right now I'm using like one to help me with my back and my neck because that's it. And my pussy and my crack. Right. Because my shit is all fucked up. Right. But yeah. But you still have this old pillow. I do. Just because...

You can't let go. It's my pillow. Yeah. I've had it for so long. You have attachments to pillows. I have attachments to everything. You know me. I was just going to say, is there anything that you can throw away? Yeah, but it's not an easy process. I'll tell you that real quick. I was, and Becca doesn't even know this. What about underwear, socks? No, I've held on to a lot of those too, man.

How do you have attachment to socks? Because I remember where I bought them, when I bought them, the phase of my life in which I bought them, how many times I've worn them. College, Old Navy, on sale. What's special about that? She said it's special to me. I didn't tell Becca this. She's actually, if she's watching, well, once she watches it, she's finding out for the first time. Throwing out the kids, like, so we had, like, the same mattress for, like, the crib that Miles, or Miles didn't use it, but Ruby and Maeve used. Mm-hmm.

I teared up looking at that mattress getting thrown out. I get tearing up because of that. I mean... But I get it because it's like... Because the... I would be more upset if like, oh my God, my children are too big to lay in this mattress. You're upset because you're throwing out a physical mattress though. Because you want to keep the mattress. But because of what it means. But...

Yeah, you have living examples. You want to know a secret too? She doesn't know this one. You stole the mattress. No, no, no. You took it out of the trash and took it to your car. The mattress is gone. The mattress is gone. I sleep on it in my car. I'll tell you this. There are days when I get home and Becca will have like a big garbage bag of like donations of like stuffed animals and stuff like that. And I'm like, what's in here? Yeah, yeah. What's in here? And she's like, don't go through it. It's nothing. I promise. It's just like little like extraneous things that like they've never like loved or seen or anything. And I'm just like,

sure about that yeah she doesn't know this one but when we lived the first time we lived first time we lived together when we moved in together um shortly thereafter for like our wedding registry we had gotten a wooden cutting board okay and when she's like she wanted to throw it out i was just like this was like our cutting board we'd cook on miles was a baby we would cook on this she's like bring it out and put it in the garbage and i'm like all right i brought it out i didn't put it in the

Where'd you put it? I hid it. I don't want to say where it is because she's going to find it. It's in your house. It's somewhere. You have an attachment to a cutting board. Yeah, because like. But you could do that about every single thing. If you have an attachment to everything, then how is everything, how is anything special? Because certain things are not as special as other things. You know what I mean? Like the older. You're not throwing anything up. You have a cutting board and socks. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Certain things, like if I have like 30 pairs of the same socks. Yeah. I'll get rid of 29 of them.

Okay. Because then that one I remember. You have a rep. You don't even know about what I have. I have all my old, like, I have a bunch of like high school clothes and socks and stuff in storage. Yeah. You said you're going to hand them down. And I'm like, I think that Miles is going to be good on all that. He's going to be like, I don't want to wear this. I have a whole like storage bin of just socks.

No, you don't. You have a storage bin of old socks? Frank. Yeah. That's a problem. No, it isn't. It's not necessary. It isn't not a problem. But who are they for? Whoever wants them eventually one day. Why would anyone want them? I don't know. Because their dad wore them. That's so cute.

But they're not going to want to wear it. I have a pair of socks. I have underwear from middle school. If my dad was like, I wore these when I was a little boy, you should wear them. I'm like, Dad, I'd rather wear anything else. I have a pair of boxers from middle school. I remember you saying that. Yeah, I have socks from high school. I have my old jockstrap from high school football. Dude, I'm not kidding when I say this, and I'm really not trying to be funny, but I am...

terrified of the day that one of your children goes to college. Like, I can't imagine what that's going to be like for you. I'm going to tell you exactly what it's going to be like. I'm going to have to be there to... Did you see... We talked about it on a... I think it was a Patreon episode. Someone's going to have to physically, like...

Hold you. Joey, did you see the blubbering mess of an idiot I was at the wedding? Yeah. I was crying too. But no, no, no. I know. But like, I was just with my family this weekend and like, it was a joke, not a joke, but it was just like, damn. Yeah. You were like, that's so fun. Emotional. It is not going to be fun. Yeah. No, dude. There was one day. I don't think I've told this story. I don't think I've told this story. There was a day where we couldn't find Ruby.

You tell me, you tell me. Did I tell you what happened at night? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which one? Where you like, you like found out everything was fine and then you like cried or something. We went home that night. For anyone that has not heard this story, we couldn't find her because she was hiding at my in-law's house. And like, we called the cops. Like I went running around the neighborhood. The heartbreak that I had in my like prepared and we found her. She had like, she was either playing hide and seek or she had fallen asleep, whatever. I read the book, The Giving Tree to her that night.

Just a fucking drenched face of a fucking pussy. You know what I mean? Just weeping. I wouldn't even... I can't even. Weeping. I'm not going to choose not to think about this. Dude...

I can't even like oh my god. Yeah, it was but yes The same about getting rid of my socks from high school. I yeah, I mean totally different Exactly my daughter being missing that was so hard. But when I had to throw out a sock You don't know what that's like that socks been with me my whole life. Um There was one day where that had happened. Um

Actually, I'll tell you after we have a little more, uh, uh, advertising's to go here. What is this episode? By the way, I have no idea. You know, I was just thinking about what we're going to name it. And that's out the window idea. Uh,

Speaking of almost crying.

We got a new update. A new Costco Guys update. That's right, baby. That's right. This is now just a Costco podcast? We now have a whole segment of the show just about the Costco Guys. At the hot sauce event, they played the song. Over the speakers? Over the speakers. Really? I was talking to someone.

And like, cause there was our, our fans were there and I was talking to someone and then I was like, I can't believe this song is playing. And they looked at me like, what song is this? And I was like, I'm not even going to try to explain. They were just, they're just, it's just, we're bringing a boom. Really? That's what, yeah. The song was playing in the brewery. Quick update.

He had a wrestling match on like a major pay-per-view. I saw it. On like the opening for a major pay-per-view. Guy can go, dude. Big Justice speared the shit out of somebody. Speared the dog shit out of QT Marshall. Marshall, whatever. QT? QT. Q-T. I like QT.

Sure, but I don't think anyone's calling him cutie. And then fucking big powerbomb from Big Boom AJ. Yeah. And I just found out he broke his foot during the match and he finished the match with a broken foot. Wow. Guy's got it, dude. He's committed. Kind of crazy, right? Shout out. I'm just saying, the fact that we haven't been invited to be in wrestling...

What are you talking about? Just like, dude, we could do it, right? Frank, I don't want to get power bombed. I would love to get power bombed. Just learn how to take that bump, you know? That'd be sick. You want to get power bombed on national television? That'd be kind of cool. I'll get like fucking, what's it called? Clotheslined. People like us, you know? Do you ever see Steve-O and Chris Pontius getting the dog shit beat out of them by Umaga? Yeah. So Steve-O told this story later, and he was just like...

He was fucking me up. He was very mad at us because we laughed at him after we were supposed to be like selling that we were hurt. Yeah. But listen, new revamp, new Santa Clara Studios stuff. Maybe we go, I've been pitching going to wrestling school for how long now? 10 years. For a while, right? You're going to tell me people don't want to see you and I get in the squared circle and wrestle a match?

It would be cool to pop up at WrestleMania and just interfere with a match real quick. I mean, that's too big for us. They reserve that for Jason Kelsey and stuff. Rob Gronkowski. Did you see the dude yelling at Jason Kelsey, the adult autograph seeker, Frank? That video fired me up beyond belief because he eventually walked over and signed the autograph for him. Crazy. I...

Would have took in the thing and cut it in half and then gave it back to him. Oh, yeah. That guy's a fucking piece of shit. Dude. And it's like, apparently that's like a thing because like adult autograph seekers, like they're not, it's not for them. They go to sell it. Of course. A lot of wrestlers speak about this where like people will like show up to...

Like the airport with just like a bullet, like a big oak tag. Oak tags are back. Big oak tags of like 30 pictures and asked them to sign each of them. And it's like, you clearly are going to sell these. Yeah. You know? But yeah, I saw that Kelsey one. I thought that was crazy. The guy was screaming at him. And then all of a sudden he started saying like...

Some of his family members died or something. And it's like, what are you even saying here? Yeah. What does this have to do with anything? I don't want to sit here and pick apart the legitimacy of it. But like the way that this person... Who cares about the legitimacy if it has nothing to do with what's going on? But like he like stalked him and like jumped a fence and shit like that, right? Well, no. He was like, you guys are following me. Like stop following me. It makes me feel weird. Listen. Listen.

I really don't want to ever like that to ever happen to me. And it's never happened. And honestly, I also want to just say that we just had like a hot sauce event at Brooklyn brewery and like a bunch of fans came and they were all incredibly nice. And like our family and friends were there and they weren't like,

weird towards them or anything because like your kids were there greg's kid was there and it's like you know nephew and shit and like there was no like whatever so but you hear horror stories about people being so strange with people's families but everyone was like very respectful of that whole thing and it was cool but when i see shit like this with the jason kelsey thing where he's like you're legitimately following me and then ask me for the and then like this

it looked like that dude would climb defense and was like yelling shit at him and then saying shit about how his family died or whatever the fuck and i'm like what is this yeah but he just had that thing happen where he spiked that kid's phone yeah so he's like i have to go over yeah now i have to be the nice person bro and it's the classic like millennial way of like trauma dumping in order to get people to feel bad for you so you give them exactly what you want a millennial thing a

Yeah, dude. I mean, I don't know. Oh my God. You haven't seen like people, like it's like a thing that like millennials just like, they'll just trump. They'll be like, Hey, what's your name? And it's be like, well, I have depression. Well, and it's like, you have a fucking, you know, like, all right. But yeah, no, we were saying the same thing back in that we were like, cause we were, you saw, we were chasing around the kids and like people were very kindly giving us our space. There was one woman that I'm not,

I'll tell you about it offline. But like... Same situation. Like, stop fucking following... Like, people forget that this person is also just trying to be a normal person and live a normal life. Yeah. Like, in what world do you think following someone and stalking them is going to... It's so weird. And it's not like... You know, you see movies where it's just like...

"Sir, I followed you for eight blocks so you could take my resume." And it's like, "I like your moxie. Show up tomorrow at 8:00 AM." That's not the real world, dude. Stop following people. But also like,

I don't know, man. And also, I hate the thing of the guy screaming crazy shit at Jason Kelsey and being mad disrespectful. And then him coming over, and now because he's signing it, now you're apologizing or now you're saying nice shit. Because you got what you wanted. And it's like, bro, you don't get to be both people. Yeah. You know what I mean? You're the asshole on the fence screaming at me. You're not sorry that you did it. You're sorry that you got...

Like now you look like an idiot because you basically threw a fucking tantrum. It's crazy, man. Oh my God. It's so wild. And like, that is so terrifying because more than anything, I value that normalcy in my life. Yeah. Yeah. Of like, I'm cool with, I'm definitely cool with people like recognizing me and saying hi. And if you want a picture, like that's totally fine. The second it becomes like people are following you or following you like in cars or they're like,

to find out intricate details of your life and whatever. And it's like, bro, I don't know you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that? I think we have been very, very lucky. I've never had an issue with that. Same. And I will be honest, if I start having an issue, I'll start throwing fucking fists. Joey knows me. I will start calling people out if they're being assholes.

Yeah, I don't know. I've never had that happen, which is fine. And everyone that we've interacted with, I feel like has been...

Super normal with the exception of a few but like that'll happen but nothing to the point where I feel like someone's stalking me or someone's like doing this and whatever or like trying Stalking my mother or something and like stop it like bro. You're crossing a crazy line here Yeah, well, I think it's because we are and both times the funniest people on the internet the nicest people on the internet. Um

We're very humble. Oh, well, yeah, you are. You are very humble. We are very humble. Yeah, you are. So, you know, coming from the person that puts his name on everything. Yeah. Well, if we had to name the podcast today, what would we name it? I can't think of a more perfect name than The Basement Yard. I really can't. I didn't even come up with it either. Once your shoulder goes up, I know it's a bad idea. So maybe you could just save that one. Just two lifelong buddies talking.

Two lifelong buddies talking? Two lifelong buddies talking. Yeah. The lifelong boys. See, that's the worst part about this podcast too is like one, even if this, like you can't explain this show to anybody. Nobody. We don't make it easy for the people who watch too to be like, oh, you like, yeah. We have any recommendations? We know. We thank you for trying. We know what we've, the hand that we have dealt.

I imagine people would be like, do you have any recommendations for podcasts? And it's like, oh, go listen to The Basement. It's like, oh, what's it about? It's like, you got me. I have no idea. I have no idea what it's about. It's that thing where you watch something that's just so crazy and you don't know how to describe it. So you're just like, it's... You know what? Honestly, it might not be for you. It's so out there. Do you think we have one of those shows where it's like, I want to recommend this, but I don't think that I... I'll be honest. I think...

I would love to see what, when people do recommend our show, what episodes they say to like start off with. Because there are some that are pretty standard. And then there are others that are so fucking unhinged. Yeah. Like we had a whole episode just talking corn and not like, you know, like, you know, the, the, the, the corn, the good corn or the bad corn. I guess it depends what she was. It depends on what side you sit. I would say the bad corn. Others would say the good, but you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. So I wonder like,

And anytime someone that I meet that doesn't know when they ask me about... First of all, I don't like saying what I do because I feel like immediately people are judgmental. Do you lie? I don't lie. I'm very... I say, oh, I'm in the entertainment world. Frank, you're inviting a question. No, I'm not. I don't think I'm inviting it. Really? Are you an actor? Most people just say like, okay, cool. Others will be like, oh, like what? And then I'm just like, oh...

Like podcasting. Like, okay, sometimes it stops there. There are the 1% that's, they get. What's the show about? What, what is it? What's it called? And then I always have to say like, it's, it might not be, I don't know what your taste is. Yeah. You know? That's mad funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't even remember what I say. I kind of change it up every time. And then there are the other people that are just like, I don't, you're not my thing. I don't find you funny. Yeah. But like so-and-so does. Yeah.

Cool, dude. Really cool. Thanks for that. I don't really respect you. Yeah. But someone does and good for you. There was a story recently that I told you because I told you when it happened of someone coming up to me and just being like, I don't like your show. I don't get it. Yeah. But like...

Cool for you guys, I guess. And I was just like, okay. Thank you. Yeah. What is this? And then they were like, I don't like mainstream stuff. That's why I like Tim Dillon. And I was just like, hey, brother. Tim Dillon's massive. Massive. I'm like, are we talking about this?

One of the biggest podcasts on the planet. I would say. But yeah, I guess that's all for this week's episode of The Basement Yard. We appreciate all you guys for sure.
