  Welcome back to the basement.

• 0:36Speaker 02

  Welcome back to the basement yard. That's an old school sweater you got on.

• 0:40Speaker 01

  It is. We're sweater boys today. Look at us.

• 0:42Speaker 02

  It's freezing.

• 0:43Speaker 01

  It is really cold. What is going... I don't... Not a big fan of this wind.

• 0:48Speaker 02

  Sends a chill down my spine.

• 0:50Speaker 01

  Listen, you've lived your whole life in New York City. As someone that has spent a significant amount of time outside of New York State and New York City.

• 0:57Speaker 02

  Frank, we get the same weather, basically.

• 0:58Speaker 01

  No, I will say with confidence, one of the first things I remember about living in Connecticut when, um...

• 1:04Speaker 02

  Oh, Connecticut.

• 1:05Speaker 01

  College.

• 1:06Speaker 02

  I was thinking Jersey. I'm like, you're right here.

• 1:08Speaker 01

  I know, no, no, but even Jersey, like, the... We don't get as... Nearly as much wind. Like, the wind up here is wild. Like, I remember...

• 1:15Speaker 02

  You don't get more wind?

• 1:16Speaker 01

  No, no, I mean...

• 1:17Speaker 02

  I would think. You're closer to the water, right?

• 1:18Speaker 01

  Some... Well, you're on the water.

• 1:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was dumb.

• 1:22Speaker 01

  But, um, no, like, by the water, yes, there's a lot of wind, but I'm saying, like, the winters... There's wind all the time up here in the... In, like, a New York City winter is... The wind smacks you in the mouth. By us, it's just a dry, cold... And like, I remember the first time I, like, experienced a winter when I was living in college my freshman year. I remember I'd go like this. I went like, I went, "Huh." See my... Could be... To be a dragon?

• 1:47Speaker 02

  To be a dragon. You're pretending to be a dragon in the cold.

• 1:49Speaker 01

  Don't even pretend, like, it's still not cool.

• 1:51Speaker 02

  No, it's... I mean, I don't pretend I'm a dragon still.

• 1:55Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 1:56Speaker 02

  That's one of us, I guess.

• 1:58Speaker 01

  Uh, and I watched the... What is it?

• 2:02Speaker 02

  Vapor?

• 2:03Speaker 01

  There it is. Leave my mouth and it stayed in the air. And I watched it float away.

• 2:08Speaker 02

  No, it didn't.

• 2:09Speaker 01

  Yo, I swear on my children.

• 2:11Speaker 02

  Like, like a cloud? You created a cloud?

• 2:13Speaker 01

  No, I didn't create a cloud. I just watched it. Like, it wasn't like a, "Huh," and then gone. It was a, "Huh."

• 2:22Speaker 01

  And then I watched it go. And it was very.

• 2:26Speaker 02

  Where was this Connecticut?

• 2:27Speaker 01

  It was because it was cold?

• 2:29Speaker 02

  I think that has something to do with like humidity or something.

• 2:31Speaker 01

  Probably has something to do with the the density of the air.

• 2:35Speaker 02

  Barometers, things like that.

• 2:36Speaker 01

  Who?

• 2:38Speaker 02

  Barometers? Wait, what is a barometer?

• 2:40Speaker 01

  That's pressure, isn't it?

• 2:43Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 2:43Speaker 01

  I mean, yeah, pressure, density of the air, pressure has something to do with wind, so I guess we're kind of on to something.

• 2:48Speaker 02

  Yeah. You know what I thought about the other day, it was like super windy and I was like, where does wind, what is wind?

• 2:54Speaker 01

  Wind.

• 2:56Speaker 02

  Do you know?

• 2:57Speaker 01

  I think so.

• 2:58Speaker 02

  So I I know not, well, I don't know if I can explain it.

• 3:00Speaker 01

  It's like it's like differentiating uh uh uh changes in pressure.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, it is.

• 3:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like changes in pressure, that's why when you walk in like Manhattan, if you walk around like a big building, you'll get hit with a wind, like a crosswind on an avenue really hard because the pressure is so intense.

• 3:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  But the air pressure.

• 3:19Speaker 02

  My guess was like.

• 3:23Speaker 02

  This is gonna sound a little nuts.

• 3:24Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, here we go.

• 3:25Speaker 02

  Gravity? That was my guess. And here's my thinking.

• 3:29Speaker 01

  But the wind isn't.

• 3:30Speaker 02

  I know, but I'm but I because I was I was thought I was thinking about the ocean.

• 3:34Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 3:34Speaker 02

  So I'm like, because the the the moon's gravity is moving the ocean, that maybe the earth and moon's gravity is creating wind, I don't know. Maybe that's not wrong, though, because maybe that has something to do with the pressure.

• 3:47Speaker 01

  Well, I.

• 3:48Speaker 02

  Gravity is pressure, no?

• 3:49Speaker 01

  I think because like the pressure like a like like the stuff off of water, like, you know, like aura off of the water.

• 3:58Speaker 02

  I don't know what you're I I don't know what you're saying.

• 4:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's a little tough.

• 4:02Speaker 02

  The aura of the water.

• 4:03Speaker 01

  I think that because like there's different air like temperatures that come off of the water and then different air temperatures above and they mix and they're like, yes.

• 4:13Speaker 01

  Does that make sense?

• 4:16Speaker 02

  I don't know, I don't know if it makes sense.

• 4:19Speaker 01

  It is kinda cool to imagine that it's just like the wind is just like you know?

• 4:24Speaker 02

  What is, what does that mean? I hate wind. I tweeted this the other day and a lot of people agreed that it's like the worst weather.

• 4:30Speaker 01

  It is the worst weather. Wind?

• 4:32Speaker 02

  I would rather rain.

• 4:33Speaker 01

  Oh, I love rain.

• 4:34Speaker 02

  But like rain with wind is, it may be worse.

• 4:36Speaker 01

  Sideways rain stinks.

• 4:38Speaker 02

  Super stinks.

• 4:39Speaker 01

  It's just stinky.

• 4:40Speaker 02

  Stinks on ice.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  It stinks on ice, it really does.

• 4:42Speaker 02

  That's the worst.

• 4:43Speaker 01

  Unless it's hot.

• 4:44Speaker 02

  Hot rain?

• 4:45Speaker 01

  Summer rain is...

• 4:46Speaker 02

  Summer rain's great.

• 4:47Speaker 01

  Summer rain is...

• 4:49Speaker 02

  Rain showers. Those are just...

• 4:51Speaker 01

  Those just rain.

• 4:52Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, no, I meant sun showers, sorry.

• 4:54Speaker 01

  Sun showers are cool.

• 4:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:55Speaker 01

  But like not as cool as just like a, just like, it gets like really dark out and you're like, what the, it's 1pm.

• 5:02Speaker 02

  You like that?

• 5:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think it's so cool and then it just like, what of, uh, the like... I have a memory so vivid because it became yellow outside.

• 5:15Speaker 02

  What are you talking about?

• 5:16Speaker 01

  It was the day that I went to go see X-Men The Last Stand, so I believe it was like 2006. And I remember I was at the movie theater in Astoria and I went outside and the weather was so bad that it looked yellow outside and it rained so hard. But then it be, it like instantly stopped and then you just get like stinky asphalt. You know what I'm talking about?

• 5:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that smell.

• 5:39Speaker 01

  I love that smell.

• 5:40Speaker 02

  Like rainy concrete?

• 5:41Speaker 01

  Rainy concrete, rainy asphalt.

• 5:43Speaker 02

  I like that smell a lot.

• 5:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, because it's still like hot.

• 5:45Speaker 02

  When I was younger, I used to be like, oh, rain, like I thought it was like a fox, like I could smell rain coming, but it's like it's...

• 5:50Speaker 01

  Well, no, you can. You can definitely smell rain coming.

• 5:53Speaker 02

  Well, isn't that the smell of the asphalt?

• 5:55Speaker 01

  No, the, the, that's like a thing that like cowboys used to do. Cowboys can smell rain coming.

• 6:00Speaker 02

  Oh, I thought that smell was just straight up like wet concrete.

• 6:04Speaker 01

  No, no, no, there's like, there's like a smell to the humidity in the air and stuff like that.

• 6:06Speaker 02

  What could you possibly be Googling right now?

• 6:08Speaker 01

  Can you smell rain?

• 6:10Speaker 02

  What, you just said that you knew and now you're looking it up?

• 6:12Speaker 01

  Uh, I am looking up like what the actual thing is. Yes, you could smell rain and it's called petricor. It's an earthly smell that caused by a combination of water, ozone, geosmin, and plant oils.

• 6:25Speaker 02

  Oh, so it has nothing to do with concrete or asphalt for that matter?

• 6:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's just oils.

• 6:31Speaker 02

  Is what it is, I guess.

• 6:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, well.

• 6:34Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, no, I didn't, I didn't know that you could, that you could do that. I thought it was just the concrete that I was smelling. Neither here nor there. Uh, anyway, uh, we do have a big announcement on this, uh, episode and that is... The show, the, the show's going back on the road.

• 6:49Speaker 01

  We're going across the pond.

• 6:51Speaker 02

  The show is going across the pond, uh, we are...

• 6:54Speaker 01

  Overseas, as some people may say.

• 6:56Speaker 02

  Overseas, even though it's an ocean.

• 6:58Speaker 01

  Over ocean.

• 6:59Speaker 02

  Over ocean.

• 7:00Speaker 01

  As nobody says.

• 7:01Speaker 02

  Yeah. All the seas, I feel like are right there in Europe.

• 7:04Speaker 01

  Adriatic, dead, red.

• 7:07Speaker 02

  Mediterranean.

• 7:08Speaker 01

  Mediterranean.

• 7:09Speaker 02

  Salt, what's this? Oh, that's the dead.

• 7:12Speaker 01

  The dead one.

• 7:13Speaker 02

  Have you...

• 7:14Speaker 01

  Nope.

• 7:14Speaker 02

  I was just gonna ask if you've ever been there.

• 7:15Speaker 01

  Let's just get, let's get the housekeeping stuff out of the way.

• 7:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, so anyway, uh, we do have, uh, tour dates, uh, in the UK, uh, and, I mean, we, I think we announced by now, by the time this episode goes out, uh, on Instagram, that, uh, they're coming. But, on, uh, tomorrow, so when this goes out on YouTube, January 28th, that's when the pre-sale will begin with the code basement at thebasementyard.com. Uh, we are going to be in Glasgow, Scotland, on March 25th. Uh, on March 27th, we are going to be in London, uh... Did I say the 27th? Yeah. March 27th, we're gonna be in London, at the Palladium, uh, and we're gonna be at the Pavilion

• 7:56Speaker 02

So, on January 28th, tomorrow, um, and until the 31st, uh, go on thebasementyard.com to get your tickets for London, Glasgow, and Dublin.

• 8:40Speaker 02

  Uh, and, yeah, use the code basement to get your tickets. And, yeah, that's, that's pretty much it. So we're coming to the UK. A lot of people have been asking us about it. We're super excited. Frank's never been there.

• 8:51Speaker 01

  I know.

• 8:52Speaker 02

  I just, what?

• 8:53Speaker 01

  I know I haven't.

• 8:55Speaker 02

  You said, "uh, no."

• 8:56Speaker 01

  Uh, no. No, I haven't.

• 8:57Speaker 02

  Uh, no.

• 8:58Speaker 01

  A lot of this is going to be you just making me do accents, I imagine. It's going to be you asking me to-

• 9:04Speaker 02

  Frank, no one's gonna make you do any of that.

• 9:06Speaker 01

  Alright, I'll do them, Joey.

• 9:07Speaker 02

  What I'm gonna probably do more of is making you stop doing the accent. I know that. Yeah. It's like, Frank, you're offending them. Stop.

• 9:13Speaker 01

  I think, I think, um, people, you know, like, we've received nothing but positive, uh, you know, what's the word I'm looking for?

• 9:21Speaker 02

  Uh, support?

• 9:22Speaker 01

  Yeah. People seem to like when we do it.

• 9:25Speaker 02

  Oh, the accent.

• 9:26Speaker 01

  Yeah. So, um-

• 9:28Speaker 02

  Well, I can't do it, so you, you, you're good.

• 9:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, no, well, you've, there have been times where you slip into one and you surprise us.

• 9:33Speaker 02

  I can get, for like, four seconds, I can do like-

• 9:36Speaker 01

  You'll surprise us with something, but, uh, we're excited. You know, it's gonna be, uh, it's gonna be a time. What do they say out there? It's gonna be a what?

• 9:45Speaker 02

  Cheerio.

• 9:46Speaker 01

  No. See, that's why we don't, that's why we don't let you do stuff like that.

• 9:49Speaker 02

  Uh, but yeah, we're coming out there. Uh, I just went to Scotland. I was in Glasgow for only a night, so I'm excited to, you know-

• 9:55Speaker 01

  Twice in a year is wicked.

• 9:57Speaker 02

  Twice in, yeah, twice in 365 days for Scotland is kinda wild.

• 10:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 10:01Speaker 02

  But, gonna be there. I've never been to London, have never been to Dublin. Excited to go to these places. Glasgow was a fun time when I went. Um, excited.

• 10:09Speaker 01

  Let's see what happens.

• 10:10Speaker 02

  I think most of the, most of our group hasn't, well, actually, no, Ahmed came with me to Scotland.

• 10:14Speaker 01

  And Greg has been everywhere, everywhere, every, uh, been there, been there, had that, been there.

• 10:17Speaker 02

  Everywhere, anywhere, all at once.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 10:18Speaker 02

  Uh, but yeah, so, uh, for those London and Dublin shows, uh, if they do well, maybe there's a second show on the horizon.

• 10:25Speaker 01

  And I think Zach has been everywhere, too. I think, out of his na-

• 10:27Speaker 02

  He's driven everywhere.

• 10:28Speaker 01

  Now that I think about it, I think I'm probably the one who is the least world-traveled.

• 10:32Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think so, yeah.

• 10:33Speaker 01

  And even Ahmed, like, Ahmed has been to Scotland and I haven't.

• 10:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:36Speaker 01

  You know?

• 10:36Speaker 02

  It's true. Uh, but yeah, so those are the dates. Again, March 25th, Glasgow, Scotland, at the Pavilion Theatre. March 27th, uh, in London, uh, Palladium. Uh, and March 31st at the Three Olympia Theatre in Dublin. So go to thebasementyard.com, use the code basement, um, to get your pre-sale tickets. Again, pre-sale starts on January 28th, on January 31st, 10 a.m. local time for both of those. Uh, but on the 31st it'll be general sale, so you won't need a code or anything, so. There you go, okay. Uh, also, uh, you know, before we talk about anything super silly on this episode, uh, you know, we had to get that out of the way, but we wanted to, uh, issue an apology to people that we've offended. This is a long time ago that we, this is like, uh, over a year ago.

• 11:21Speaker 01

  Over two, oh, well, almost two years ago, yeah.

• 11:23Speaker 02

  Almost two years ago, we did an episode, uh, of the podcast where we talked about, uh, these two girls, uh, Carmen and Lupita, who are conjoined twins. And, just to give you an idea of, like, the process, it's like, sometimes we just like, go on, on websites, we're looking for like headlines or whatever, and trying to find something to talk about, related to our lives, and like, do the, the, the show like that. Um, and we saw this headline about, um, these two girls are conjoined twins, and one of them has a boyfriend, so we're like, okay, cool, we'll talk about that. And, I made a, just a stupid comment, and I was like, just, uh, it's just dumb. Looking back on it, it's embarrassing, and I can only imagine how embarrassing it is for them.

• 12:06Speaker 02

  But I was just like, can we talk about these two girls who, who are conjoined at the pussy bone, is what I said. And, then, we were like, talking a- about, like, if me and Frank were conjoined twins, what that would be like.

• 12:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, we, and we were talking about a part of their life that is private and intimate to them, and we're definitely not the type of people, I think, I mean, it's weird, because we sit in front of a camera and we talk, and I think people are like, oh, it's feel like we're talking with you, but, you know, we know who each other is, and I, and I hope that people have gotten to understand who we are, but like, we're not the type of people that are just gonna be like, we made a joke, it's comedy, get over it, like. We are sensitive, we, we don't like, at the end of the day, like, we don't like upsetting people, period. And, the fact of the matter is, we talked about something, about two people who's live, and like, talked about, something that had to do with something that was very private and intimate to them, and something they've had to deal with, and...

• 13:04Speaker 01

  It upset them and we're sorry like that's that's that's like we're not gonna sit here and be like but it would no that's it yeah upset someone.

• 13:12Speaker 02

  And I feel I feel really bad because you know they're upset and rightfully so and uh. Yeah, I like so this happened a while ago. It was May of twenty twenty three because we just looked and. When the episode came out, I'm not sure how long after that, but I received a message and I saw it from one of them and I. Was like apologetic and I apologized. I'm like, I'm so sorry. And there is a tool on YouTube where you can just cut out a portion.

• 13:44Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 13:44Speaker 02

  Of an episode. So I cut it out just to be like, you know, I feel bad. If this was embarrassing for you, I want to take it out of the episode. So I took it out. Um, not realizing that there's also the audio version of it that I didn't take it out of. Stupid thing. And the reason why this is coming up right now um is. I mean, admittedly, I forgot that this even happened. And then like twenty minutes ago, uh, I was tagged in a TikTok where she's talking about it. And she's like, this is what they said. And I'm listening to it and I'm like, this is so bad. Like this is like just dumb like to.

• 14:25Speaker 02

  Make a comment like that and say like, you know, they're connected at the pussy bone or whatever. And like, I'm not trying to make a joke of it. Like, I'm saying the thing now because I want people to know like that's. What I said. And then we went on to speculate like, oh, if we were conjoined, like, this is what we would do. And then. Then we were speculating about like their arrangement because that's what the the. Article was about was like they like one of them is this is what the article says. I don't know if it's true. I've also learned. After the fact that that article misquoted them or whatever it is. So, you know. With a grain of salt, uh, that like one of them has a boyfriend and one of them doesn't. So we were like thinking about like, oh, how does that work? And along the way, probably just like, it's an uncomfortable thing to talk about.

• 15:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:11Speaker 02

  I'm just not even reali- I guess at the time wasn't realizing what I did, but like, it's just, it's stupid. And I, I feel really bad and like, with the show, I mean, if you guys watch the show week to, week to week, we don't like to offend people. We're just trying to be silly and we're trying to just, uh, you know, just, I don't know, just try to make people happy. And, and it sucks to sit here and be like, yeah, you just did the fucking thing that like, and so many people also on the internet are like, oh, these guys deserve microphones and everyone else is like a fucking asshole. They're unproblematic. And then to have this

• 15:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:43Speaker 02

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

• 16:12Speaker 01

  Yeah. And, and I, I mean, I, there's really nothing much else that I can say or contribute, but you hit the nail on the head. Like, we, we just don't, like, we're like, and, and, and we're both very sensitive to this. We're like, I think we are always trying to make sure that we are just not upsetting people. And just hearing from someone saying like, hey, that, that is me. I am that person. Like, it's just like, oh, man.

• 16:37Speaker 02

  And you went on and on for fucking 20 minutes.

• 16:39Speaker 01

  Yeah. And, and again, it's about a part of their life. Like, I'm sure they've had to deal with ridicule from other people as well. And like, to be a part of that is something that is upsetting. We, there's no, like, we're not going to sit here and just be like, that was, then this is, no, it was wrong. You know, we fucked up. And I'm not like minimizing it and calling it anything other than, uh, just sad and kinda gross. And yeah, we, Carmen and Lupita, we apologize and

• 17:06Speaker 02

  And I, I sent them, uh, a message on TikTok, but I've never, I didn't I've never messaged anyone on TikTok, but I went to their page and I messaged them. Um, I think it's a shared account and they haven't read it yet, but I sent them a message, uh, basically apologizing, letting them know that we're gonna be apologizing on the episode. Um, but yeah, man, and I, you know, I don't want anyone in the comments like trying to like defend or be like, yo, it wasn't even that bad or whatever fuck like, bro, that's not what we're trying to do. Like at the end of the day, if someone's really upset by something that we said about them, like we're fucking, we're sorry. And like, it's idiotic. We don't have to do that. Like we try to avoid that at all costs.

• 17:48Speaker 02

  And like, that was just a dumb thing. And you know, I'm, I'm not like, I, I think that we would never do that, especially now, like with the, you know, growth over the last however long, like do feel a very big sense of responsibility to make sure people know that like, we, we aren't trying to be bad dudes. We realize there's a lot of people out there that just wanna be offensive and wanna hurt people's feelings. And it's like, well, whatever. Sometimes you have to ruffle like, we're not trying to do that. We're just trying to make people laugh and just be silly and shit. And we feel really bad and like, that's it. I just, yeah, we're, we're super sorry. And like, if there's anything we can do, and I wrote that in the message to them about like, we're gonna apologize. I took the things down so that you don't have to like deal with people listening to that or whatever.

• 18:32Speaker 02

  But whatever you want us to do, I will do for the most part, like just let us know if you need anything else, like we're sorry. And, uh, yeah.

• 18:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's it. I'm, I'm perfectly well said. And, uh,

• 18:47Speaker 02

  Did you bite your lip by the way over there?

• 18:49Speaker 01

  No, I didn't. I didn't bite my lip. I got into a bar brawl. I was out and someone, um, bumped into Becca and I said like, hey, get out of here.

• 18:59Speaker 02

  You picked your lip.

• 19:00Speaker 01

  No, I didn't pick my lip. It was a, it was a, it was a very serious thing that happened to my lip, to my mouth.

• 19:06Speaker 02

  What happened to you?

• 19:07Speaker 01

  It got, I got, alright, I got headbutted by Ruby, but it like,

• 19:10Speaker 02

  Your daughter headbutted your face.

• 19:12Speaker 01

  I mean,

• 19:12Speaker 02

  Like this?

• 19:15Speaker 02

  I mean, you didn't have to do that.

• 19:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, it actually looks not too bad, but I noticed you like doing that.

• 19:24Speaker 01

  What?

• 19:24Speaker 02

  So that's why, well, what you're doing, you're chewing on your lip.

• 19:27Speaker 01

  I'm not chewing on my lip.

• 19:28Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 19:29Speaker 01

  You remember, I remember hearing about like, I knew kids in like middle school or like high school, like growing up, that'd be like, they would chew on the side of their mouth. They'd be like, like that, that.

• 19:40Speaker 02

  I've done that.

• 19:42Speaker 01

  That seems miserable.

• 19:43Speaker 02

  You're not actually chewing, you're kind of gnawing.

• 19:47Speaker 01

  What's the difference between a chew and a gnaw?

• 19:48Speaker 02

  Chewing is like you're trying to bite through, gnawing is kind of like you're just like.

• 19:52Speaker 01

  I would say the opposite, I say chewing is just like, kind of just like.

• 19:54Speaker 02

  You ever play with a dog and it's like?

• 19:56Speaker 01

  I've played with several dogs.

• 19:57Speaker 02

  And like they bite your hands, but they're not biting your hands, you know what I mean?

• 20:00Speaker 01

  But that's a little, that's a little like, a little like.

• 20:02Speaker 02

  Teething?

• 20:02Speaker 01

  La la la, you know, like it's a little like, I'm just gonna give you a little love bite.

• 20:07Speaker 02

  So then what is gnawing?

• 20:08Speaker 01

  I think gnawing has like a, like a, it feels powerful and emotional.

• 20:12Speaker 02

  No, like mice gnaw.

• 20:14Speaker 01

  But mice gnaw because they're pathetic little losers. I'm saying like, if we're looking at like, when you gnaw on something, it's because you're hungry, like, oh my god, I was so hungry, I gnawed on that hot dog. Like, the minute I got that popsicle, I gnawed on it.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  I don't think anyone says it like that.

• 20:30Speaker 01

  I think so, chewing, chewing is a, is a scientific thing, we have to chew in order to swallow, gnawing, like there's some power and emotion behind it.

• 20:38Speaker 02

  No, I think gnawing is like a dull like.

• 20:41Speaker 01

  Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, do we Google this and find it out, or?

• 20:44Speaker 02

  Especially because I know how to spell it.

• 20:46Speaker 01

  Like, put it like this, uh, like a, like a, like a herbivore would, would, would chew, eradicate would gnaw.

• 20:54Speaker 02

  I gotta be honest with you.

• 20:57Speaker 02

  Okay, it's.

• 20:58Speaker 01

  Radicate, right?

• 21:00Speaker 02

  No, no, the answer, the definition is not a Pokemon, Frank. Um, no, gnaw is, by the way, I had no idea that gnawing.

• 21:08Speaker 01

  Is G.

• 21:10Speaker 02

  No, no, I knew that, I'm saying like, I didn't know it had a different definition, it also means persistently worrying.

• 21:16Speaker 01

  Oh, like I'm gnawing over you?

• 21:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, that, oh, the gnawing pain in your stomach, it's like.

• 21:21Speaker 01

  Never heard of that.

• 21:22Speaker 02

  No, that was the example they gave.

• 21:23Speaker 01

  Um, I love how you gave that like, I know that one, like, oh yeah, of course, like the gnawing pain, you've never heard that?

• 21:29Speaker 02

  I've heard of gnawing pain before.

• 21:31Speaker 01

  I've never heard of gnawing pain.

• 21:33Speaker 02

  Um, but it says to nibble, to nibble persistently, so a bunch of little nibbles.

• 21:37Speaker 01

  So it is, so you're right.

• 21:38Speaker 02

  Like a mouse, like a mouse.

• 21:39Speaker 01

  So then, raptata.

• 21:42Speaker 02

  I don't know why everything has to be Pokemon.

• 21:43Speaker 01

  Because everything has to be Pokemon. By the way, downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game on my phone. It has been on. I've been sending motherfuckers to the shadow realm.

• 21:51Speaker 02

  Wait, you downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game?

• 21:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:55Speaker 02

  Like you paid?

• 21:56Speaker 01

  No.

• 21:59Speaker 01

  No, I didn't, I didn't.

• 21:59Speaker 02

  You bought a blue eyes white dragon?

• 22:00Speaker 01

  It's a, it's a free game. No, when you start the game, they're like, you get to pick from three decks. I saw like, oh, it was like balance deck, defense deck, dragon deck. I took that dragon deck so fucking quick, dude.

• 22:13Speaker 02

  Defense deck.

• 22:14Speaker 01

  Who the hell?

• 22:15Speaker 02

  Who's that?

• 22:16Speaker 01

  You know, but boy, oh boy. That dragon deck.

• 22:19Speaker 02

  Did it have a blue eyes white dragon?

• 22:20Speaker 01

  Oh, did it. Absolutely, it had a blue eyes white dragon in there. And I throw that son of a bitch down. And I started watching the show again.

• 22:32Speaker 02

  What?

• 22:33Speaker 01

  What's so funny about that?

• 22:34Speaker 02

  That you started watching Yu-Gi-Oh again?

• 22:36Speaker 01

  I mean, dude, when's the last time you watched that show? 2002?

• 22:40Speaker 02

  2006. How old was I?

• 22:43Speaker 01

  Too old.

• 22:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, probably too old. 2002.

• 22:46Speaker 01

  There we go.

• 22:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 22:47Speaker 01

  That's what it was. First episode, my guy pulls out Exodia.

• 22:52Speaker 02

  Stop.

• 22:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, dude, against fucking Kaiba.

• 22:55Speaker 02

  I don't remember who that is.

• 22:56Speaker 01

  Kaiba.

• 22:57Speaker 02

  Who's the guy with the cool hat that has like, it's like pink and white, it's like triangular?

• 23:02Speaker 01

  Oh, Pegasus? He's the bad guy, the guy with the eye?

• 23:05Speaker 02

  No, who's the main guy?

• 23:07Speaker 01

  Yugi.

• 23:08Speaker 02

  Oh, so that's what I'm thinking of.

• 23:09Speaker 01

  Yugi.

• 23:10Speaker 02

  Wait. The main character in Yu-Gi-Oh, his name is Yugi?

• 23:14Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:15Speaker 02

  So what's Yugi-oh?

• 23:17Speaker 01

  I mean, when someone, he's in trouble? Yugi-oh!

• 23:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, okay, don't.

• 23:24Speaker 02

  That's, so the cards are called Yu-Gi-Oh, like the card game?

• 23:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 23:28Speaker 02

  But he's Yugi?

• 23:29Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, it's, it's not that hard to understand, Joe.

• 23:32Speaker 02

  I mean, it doesn't make sense. Pokemon's not a guy.

• 23:34Speaker 01

  My guy Kaiba pulls out three blue eyes.

• 23:35Speaker 02

  That would be like Ash being Poki.

• 23:37Speaker 01

  Okay, so? But Poki stands for pocket monsters.

• 23:43Speaker 01

  Pokemon.

• 23:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, I didn't get that.

• 23:44Speaker 01

  You didn't know that?

• 23:45Speaker 02

  No.

• 23:46Speaker 01

  You didn't know Pokemon was short for pocket monsters?

• 23:48Speaker 02

  No.

• 23:49Speaker 01

  Where have you been for the last twenty-five years?

• 23:51Speaker 02

  It's not in the song, why would I know that?

• 23:53Speaker 01

  Yes, it is, Joey. I wanna be the very best like no one ever wants.

• 23:57Speaker 02

  Why don't you just get to the part that says Poki-monsters?

• 23:59Speaker 01

  You don't, oh, it's hard, like, you, you can't, you, you're gonna tell me you could start a song in the middle and know it?

• 24:04Speaker 02

  I, I mean, what is, so what is the lyric?

• 24:06Speaker 01

  The lyric is, um, to get these, uh, to get these pocket monsters within my grasp.

• 24:13Speaker 02

  Uh, is that true?

• 24:14Speaker 01

  To get these po- pocket monsters within my grasp in the ball that I will clasp, Pokemon.

• 24:19Speaker 02

  Frank, you made that up.

• 24:20Speaker 01

  I did.

• 24:20Speaker 02

  Oh, you.

• 24:23Speaker 01

  I had ya.

• 24:24Speaker 02

  You did. They don't say Poki- Pok-

• 24:26Speaker 01

  To get these pocket monsters within my grasp with this ball that I clasp, Pokemon. Honestly, that kinda fits in really well.

• 24:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:36Speaker 01

  You don't think so?

• 24:36Speaker 02

  No.

• 24:37Speaker 01

  Why not?

• 24:38Speaker 02

  Cause, I mean, I don't know.

• 24:39Speaker 01

  I, we have proven I am a lyrical genius before. And this is just another-

• 24:43Speaker 02

  Proven is a little-

• 24:44Speaker 01

  Another notch in the belt, so to say.

• 24:46Speaker 02

  I do wish, like, mm, Pokemon was re- I guess Pokemon is just hunting.

• 24:54Speaker 01

  Uh, it's way not hunting.

• 24:57Speaker 02

  It's less violent.

• 24:58Speaker 01

  Uh, yeah, and you can't use your hunted animals to battle other hunted animals.

• 25:07Speaker 01

  What the hell?

• 25:08Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 25:09Speaker 01

  What, where, where did you?

• 25:10Speaker 02

  Imagine it was real, though, like, you threw a ball-

• 25:12Speaker 01

  I've thought about it so often, Joey, so often.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  Did you ever have a fake Poké-ball and just throw it at everything?

• 25:17Speaker 01

  There was, um, so you know at the lake house, uh, where, um, my dock is? I mean, there's that big rock next to my dock.

• 25:26Speaker 02

  In the water?

• 25:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:28Speaker 01

  There used to be a, well, I think there is now, but before there was the, like, its current incarnation, there was a, like, a post that stuck out of the rock. Someone had put it there in order for, like, passersby to not drive up over it because it's a huge rock.

• 25:44Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 25:45Speaker 01

  And I would go up and I would, when I was, like, playing by myself as a kid, I'd go up there and I'd go, like, and I'd release the Pokemon into the wild!

• 25:55Speaker 02

  I don't even understand what that means, though.

• 25:57Speaker 01

  I released Pokemon into the wild and then I would go and I would like...

• 26:01Speaker 02

  Why this? Why that?

• 26:03Speaker 01

  Just to like, get them out, cuz there's so much energy.

• 26:07Speaker 02

  Right, but what do you, where are you releasing them from?

• 26:10Speaker 01

  The post.

• 26:11Speaker 02

  Oh, they were in the post?

• 26:13Speaker 01

  They were stuck in the ground.

• 26:14Speaker 02

  Oh!

• 26:14Speaker 01

  So the post was just like a...

• 26:17Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 26:18Speaker 01

  You know?

• 26:18Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 26:19Speaker 01

  And then I'd be like, "Oh my god, look up, there's Pharaoh and Pidgeot."

• 26:25Speaker 01

  I hated Pharaoh. Everyone hated Pharaoh, dude. No one liked Pharaoh.

• 26:28Speaker 02

  Pidgeoto? My guy.

• 26:30Speaker 01

  You know who was a good bird?

• 26:34Speaker 02

  My birds? Marty and Molly?

• 26:36Speaker 01

  Nah, fuck those birds. Scarmory. It was a metal, it was like a metal looking Pharaoh.

• 26:41Speaker 02

  That's not an original.

• 26:42Speaker 01

  It's his second generation.

• 26:43Speaker 02

  That's the generation-

• 26:44Speaker 01

  You're missing out. There were some really cool Pokemon past your generation.

• 26:47Speaker 02

  Who was like the big one of the second gen?

• 26:50Speaker 01

  Uh, Lugia and Ho-oh. And then there were the legendary dogs. Raiko, Entei, and Sweet Koon. Sweet, Sweet Koon. Sweet Koon had a lull.

• 27:00Speaker 02

  Yeah?

• 27:01Speaker 01

  Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.

• 27:02Speaker 02

  You had a crush on her, him?

• 27:04Speaker 01

  Them.

• 27:05Speaker 02

  It was a Pok- what was it? A dog?

• 27:07Speaker 01

  It was a dog. A legendary dog. I don't think-

• 27:09Speaker 02

  Well, I did like Nine Tails and Arcanine.

• 27:11Speaker 01

  Crazy, oh, Nine Tails. Volp- I mean Volpix was cute too, but Nine Tails definitely had it going on.

• 27:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, it did.

• 27:17Speaker 01

  You know?

• 27:18Speaker 02

  Evie, you know I'm an Evie guy.

• 27:19Speaker 01

  I know. And then you went from Evie to, I know you liked Joltion, but like I could see you being a little whore for Flareon.

• 27:27Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying?

• 27:28Speaker 02

  By the way, I mean, we're not gonna spend too much time on Pokemon, but like... To start, who are you taking?

• 27:34Speaker 01

  That's a very easy one.

• 27:36Speaker 02

  Which one?

• 27:36Speaker 01

  Charmander.

• 27:37Speaker 02

  Thank you.

• 27:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 27:37Speaker 02

  Duh.

• 27:38Speaker 01

  Duh, duh, duh.

• 27:39Speaker 02

  Anyone you meet who's like Bulbasaur, I'd be like, "Alright, bro."

• 27:42Speaker 01

  Bulbasaur is my least favorite of the three, I think, but it's, it's, it's Charmander by far.

• 27:46Speaker 02

  Wait. Do you have Pikachu as well?

• 27:51Speaker 01

  So in the original versions of the game, red and the Japanese version was green, but then there was blue in the US. Remember, it was a red and blue version?

• 27:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:00Speaker 01

  It was just those three starters. And then remember your rival? Which I always named Gary. You probably named him something cool like Ass or Rocket.

• 28:08Speaker 02

  Ass?

• 28:11Speaker 02

  Ass.

• 28:12Speaker 01

  Uh, they would pick the one that was always in opposition. So if you took Charmander, they took Squirtle.

• 28:18Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm. Oh, that's what you mean. I would always make their name a curse word, by the way.

• 28:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, balls.

• 28:23Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, like penis.

• 28:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 28:26Speaker 02

  Penis picks Bulbasaur.

• 28:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 28:28Speaker 02

  Oh, no, you've beat Penis.

• 28:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but, uh, then they released Pokemon Yellow version.

• 28:36Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 28:36Speaker 01

  Which you start the game and you can't take any of them, but you're just gifted a Pikachu and the Pikachu like walks around with you.

• 28:43Speaker 02

  I had that one.

• 28:44Speaker 01

  And then you can get, through like trading, you can get Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur elsewhere.

• 28:50Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 28:51Speaker 01

  But, you know what ga- oh, you, where's your Nintendo Switch? In a closet, you fuck?

• 28:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:57Speaker 01

  You-

• 28:57Speaker 02

  How often do you play Nintendo? Answer me.

• 29:04Speaker 01

  I mean, I go between the three consoles, but like, there's a, there's a Pokemon game on there, Hey You Pikachu or Hey You Eevee? And it's fucking bananas. Like, I'm talking like, you can like, go through the Veridian Forest riding a Charizard. Yeah.

• 29:24Speaker 02

  That sounds cool.

• 29:25Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  I remember, you know what's funny? The game Pokemon Snap? Stupid idea for a game, but so good.

• 29:31Speaker 01

  Mm.

• 29:32Speaker 02

  Like, you're just gonna take pictures of Pokemon.

• 29:34Speaker 01

  Yo, I loved that first game and then they came out with another one a couple of years ago. Great game. Like, a lot of fun.

• 29:39Speaker 02

  And you still just take photos of Pokemon?

• 29:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:42Speaker 02

  There's nothing else you do?

• 29:43Speaker 01

  No. I mean, like, they added like a story to it, like, they need, they need like ten pictures of Pokemon eating in order to like research how they eat and you get this special flute.

• 29:54Speaker 02

  And it's like, why?

• 29:55Speaker 01

  It's cool, though. It's cool to see Pokemon, like-

• 29:57Speaker 02

  I agree.

• 29:57Speaker 01

  You're bugging out if you don't like it.

• 29:59Speaker 02

  I know, I did like it.

• 30:00Speaker 01

  You better.

• 30:01Speaker 02

  I would, oh, it-

• 30:03Speaker 02

  I would go up the block to this kid's house and he had it on N64, which I never had.

• 30:08Speaker 01

  Who?

• 30:09Speaker 02

  Uh, Danny.

• 30:11Speaker 02

  You know, do you know who I'm talking about?

• 30:12Speaker 01

  I know exactly what Danny you're fucking talking about bitch.

• 30:15Speaker 02

  Your sister's friend. Weren't they friends?

• 30:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, they hung out with the same crowd sometimes.

• 30:20Speaker 02

  Uh, but yeah, that's what I did.

• 30:21Speaker 01

  Oh, man, that first, when you were playing the game, the volcano level, and you could find, you know, like you would hit the Charmeleon into the volcano and then he came out as a Charizard? Fucked your butt. And then, when you, when you broke open the egg and Moltres was there?

• 30:40Speaker 01

  What about Zaptos dude?

• 30:41Speaker 02

  That's my favorite Pokemon. Uh, I would, uh, I haven't played that game that much. Like, I just played it when I was at his house sometimes.

• 30:47Speaker 01

  You know what? The Nintendo Switch 2 actually was just announced. You need to get back into video games, but like, not like, cool shoot'em up video games like I'm gonna, or like Madden, duh. Like, you need to get into like, video games that are gonna make you feel a sense of home and love. And that's a lot of video games you missed out on as a kid, because you didn't have a Nintendo 64, you didn't have a GameCube, you didn't have a Super Nintendo. There are so many video games, Joey, that you just have never played.

• 31:18Speaker 02

  So, I need to-

• 31:19Speaker 01

  Besides Mario Kart and Mario Party and Super Smash Brothers, have you ever played a Mario game?

• 31:25Speaker 02

  Uh, no.

• 31:27Speaker 01

  Bingo.

• 31:27Speaker 02

  So you need me to get a game that makes me feel like at home and nostalgic and like, as I was a kid?

  What was that?

• 35:18Speaker 01

  I, I wanna just go back to the, forget about your comment about me needing therapy.

• 35:25Speaker 01

  You feel no, like, there's no part of you that wants-

• 35:28Speaker 02

  Therapy, Pokemon Snap.

• 35:29Speaker 01

  I mean, but like, be honest with yourself for a second.

• 35:32Speaker 02

  When I think of Pokemon Snap, here's what I think about. Being in that kid's room, and he had a giant lifelike doll that was dressed as Sting, and I would do wrestling moves to it. So, that was cool. So, maybe I didn't play a lot of Pokemon Snap, because he would play Pokemon Snap, and I'd be wrestling this thing.

• 35:50Speaker 01

  Gotcha, okay. But, hear me out.

• 35:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 35:54Speaker 01

  If you had the opportunity, right now, to put something on, and go out there, and find and catch a Zaptos, you're not all about it?

• 36:03Speaker 02

  Do I have a Master Ball?

• 36:05Speaker 01

  Of course you have a Master Ball.

• 36:05Speaker 02

  Ultra Ball.

• 36:06Speaker 01

  But you don't wanna use a Master Ball on a Zaptos, you wanna keep that for Mewtwo. Which you can only get in the endgame after you beat the Elite Four. And your rival, who you aptly name probably Penis.

• 36:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, probably.

• 36:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:18Speaker 02

  Ass. That was so funny, because that was definitely one of them.

• 36:21Speaker 01

  Well, I remember, so, it's, it's weird that this came up, because we were just talking about this, but, um, there was a, a, a guy that we knew at our after-school program, that was a firefighter and lost his life on 9/11. I'm not gonna say his name, you know who I'm talking about though. He played Pokemon, and he showed me his lineup, and all of his Pokemon were named after wrestlers. So like, his Squirtle was named Road Dogg. And like, his Pikachu was Mr. Ass. So like, people did that.

• 36:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:53Speaker 01

  You know?

• 36:54Speaker 02

  Mr. Ass, shocked you.

• 36:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly, but, um... Dude, just, just, just, why not? What do you have to lose?

• 37:00Speaker 02

  No, I mean, I, I mean, I just don't know when I'm gonna be compelled to play Pokemon.

• 37:06Speaker 01

  I will sit you down, I will give you your favorite drinks and your favorite snacks.

• 37:11Speaker 02

  Frank, I'm not your daughters.

• 37:12Speaker 01

  I know.

• 37:13Speaker 02

  You're like, "Oh, I'll give you this in a little plastic cup, here you go, you got your pretzel rods."

• 37:17Speaker 01

  It's nice to treat you like my child sometimes, because there are parts of life that you don't realize are beautiful and fun and happy. And how much do you, how much, shut up, shut up, shut up! How much, I'm going on a tangent here, how much do you want me to experience love and happiness and joy?

• 37:32Speaker 02

  On your, on your time, with you.

• 37:33Speaker 01

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

• 37:51Speaker 02

  That was some wild gaslighting that you did right now, and I'm actually impressed by that, and I'm glad that everyone saw that. But it's like, you want me to be happy, right? So do the thing that I want.

• 38:01Speaker 01

  I want is gonna make me happy.

• 38:02Speaker 02

  You want that, because you're a good person.

• 38:05Speaker 01

  Well, you are a good person, and...

• 38:07Speaker 02

  And you want me to...

• 38:08Speaker 01

  And I want you to go find...

• 38:09Speaker 02

  What was the Pokemon you said?

• 38:10Speaker 01

  Nidoran.

• 38:13Speaker 02

  The worst. Uh, not worse than, what's the one that hardens?

• 38:16Speaker 01

  Metapod? Or Kakuna?

• 38:20Speaker 02

  I liked Kakuna, actually.

• 38:21Speaker 01

  Because it went to be drill.

• 38:23Speaker 02

  No, because it looked like a ninja, kinda.

• 38:24Speaker 01

  It did.

• 38:25Speaker 02

  It had like ninja, like, eyes, kinda.

• 38:27Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

• 38:28Speaker 02

  Um, anyway, can we stop talking about Pokemon?

• 38:31Speaker 01

  No.

• 38:32Speaker 02

  We're gonna talk to something that's similar, but not. Apparently, on January 25th, all of the planets in, in the solar system will align to make a cool view of the sky. So that was the headline that we saw. Here's one thing that I do wanna say. Before I begin, I don't know if this is something that happens all the time. It feels like it doesn't.

• 38:53Speaker 01

  It feels like it shouldn't.

• 38:54Speaker 02

  It feels like it shouldn't.

• 38:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 38:56Speaker 02

  So that's my point. If they're going to align, then what? Do the volcanoes erupt? You know what I'm saying?

• 39:01Speaker 01

  I, I think first of all-

• 39:02Speaker 02

  Gravity reverses?

• 39:03Speaker 01

  First of all, I've been watching a lot of Hercules lately, so I know. What, why was that look?

• 39:10Speaker 02

  Is that a TV show?

• 39:12Speaker 01

  You've seen Hercules, brother.

• 39:13Speaker 02

  The movie?

• 39:14Speaker 01

  Yeah!

• 39:14Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 39:15Speaker 01

  Who puts a glat in Gladiator?

• 39:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:17Speaker 01

  Hercules, you know?

• 39:18Speaker 02

  Yes, okay.

• 39:19Speaker 01

  Um, I can go the distance? What?

• 39:22Speaker 02

  Get to your point.

• 39:23Speaker 01

  No, I mean, there's so many other-

• 39:24Speaker 02

  I've seen the movie, I said yes!

• 39:26Speaker 01

  Okay, but there are good songs in there.

• 39:27Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:27Speaker 01

  You know?

• 39:30Speaker 02

  Stop naming songs.

• 39:30Speaker 01

  Okay, alright. Um, what's the one that Danny DeVito sings? So you wanna be a something kid, whoop-dee-doo. Alright, I gotta keep going.

• 39:40Speaker 02

  Right.

• 39:40Speaker 01

  But that, I'm pretty sure that's when the, the Hades opens up, or the underworld. And then, the Titans come out, right?

• 39:49Speaker 02

  I don't know. I don't know that it's a good thing if the planets are aligning. You know what I mean?

• 39:53Speaker 01

  Are you more excited to see one planet, or, or like what?

• 39:57Speaker 01

  Like what planet-

• 39:58Speaker 02

  I don't think we're gonna see any, bro.

• 39:59Speaker 01

  No, I think you could definitely see planets, bro.

• 40:02Speaker 02

  Look at my eyes.

• 40:02Speaker 01

  Neil deGrasse Tyson always comes out and he goes, "Look to the, look to the western sky." And upon three clicks from, you know, pure midnight, which are all words we didn't know existed, "You will see Mercury." You know, like, he says shit like that.

• 40:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, but unless I have like an actual telescope.

• 40:23Speaker 01

  We have a telescope. You can get one, they're not that expensive.

• 40:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you would need like a sick one. I'm not gonna go to like, Party City and get a, like, a ahoy matey telescope and like see Mars.

• 40:34Speaker 01

  No, we have like one on a tripod that has like a big fat butt.

• 40:37Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 40:37Speaker 01

  And you like, look through it and stuff like that.

• 40:39Speaker 02

  Damn, you have a thermometer, thermometer. You have a tel- a telescope like that?

• 40:43Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 40:44Speaker 02

  Is it expensive?

• 40:45Speaker 01

  Uh, we got it for Miles one year for

• 40:48Speaker 02

  Birth?

• 40:49Speaker 01

  Birthday.

• 40:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:50Speaker 01

  Uh, but it, it wasn't like too expensive. You can get like insane ones, like, we're not, we're not fucking-

• 40:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, we're not getting the Hubble.

• 40:59Speaker 01

  We're not counting the craters on Moon.

• 41:00Speaker 02

  Right, yeah.

• 41:01Speaker 01

  You know?

• 41:02Speaker 02

  Yo, you know when they say that if you look into like the Hubble telescope or something like that, like if you look, whatever, you could see technically into the past? What?

• 41:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, dude, yes, yes, they are correct.

• 41:12Speaker 02

  Like, so what?

• 41:13Speaker 01

  It fucks me up. It fucks me up. Do you understand that?

• 41:16Speaker 02

  Because by the time... Oh.

• 41:20Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:21Speaker 02

  Like, like...

• 41:23Speaker 01

  So say, alright, alright, alright. So say, we look up into the sky and we see a star right here.

• 41:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, that star's been there.

• 41:30Speaker 01

  That star was there a long time ago because the amount of time it takes for the light to reach us.

• 41:35Speaker 02

  Right.

• 41:36Speaker 01

  It's now over here.

• 41:37Speaker 02

  Right, yeah.

• 41:37Speaker 01

  You know, and it's just bananas.

• 41:39Speaker 02

  But if I'm looking at a telescope...

• 41:42Speaker 01

  Telescope, you're seeing the light. That's what you're seeing. Telescopes, uh, you know-

• 41:47Speaker 02

  Can we see into the future?

• 41:49Speaker 01

  No.

• 41:49Speaker 02

  Like, that's a raven?

• 41:52Speaker 02

  You know what I mean?

• 41:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:54Speaker 01

  When you gaze into the future, future-

• 41:56Speaker 02

  I knew you were gonna start singing that song.

• 41:57Speaker 01

  You might think life would be a breeze.

• 42:00Speaker 02

  Life is a breeze.

• 42:02Speaker 01

  Travel from a distance, yeah. Go, Ray. Well, it's not something the same. Remember that?

• 42:07Speaker 02

  I, I do.

• 42:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:09Speaker 02

  Um, y- uh, yeah, no, it freaks me out, but they're supposed to align-

• 42:13Speaker 01

  This is dangerous.

• 42:14Speaker 02

  Bro, I'm shocked my father hasn't texted me about this.

• 42:17Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 42:17Speaker 02

  Being like, yo, stay inside.

• 42:19Speaker 01

  Stay inside, don't look up.

• 42:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:20Speaker 01

  You know?

• 42:21Speaker 02

  Don't look up.

• 42:22Speaker 01

  Don't look up.

• 42:23Speaker 02

  Bro, have you, did you watch that movie, Don't Look Up?

• 42:24Speaker 01

  I watched some of it and I didn't like it. I turned it off.

• 42:26Speaker 02

  You got scared?

• 42:27Speaker 01

  A little bit.

• 42:29Speaker 02

  You would. It's such a prank to be like, I don't know, it's just like boring.

• 42:32Speaker 01

  It's just not acted well!

• 42:34Speaker 02

  It's not acted well!

• 42:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 42:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, it's like definitely freaky and makes you think and it's like, yo, if this were to happen, what the fuck can we possibly do?

• 42:42Speaker 01

  Nothing, nothing. We can just hold our loved ones and-

• 42:45Speaker 02

  Hold our loved ones, which is, yeah, that ends up happening.

• 42:48Speaker 01

  Spoiler.

• 42:48Speaker 02

  Um, but I'm surprised my dad didn't hit me up about this and like, cause he, he loves end of the world shit. He like, he has a top five list of ways to go. Tsunami, I think is like one.

• 43:01Speaker 01

  That's one of the worst ways I would imagine.

• 43:03Speaker 02

  He, oh, no, sorry, not, uh, no, no, tsunami. Tsunami is number one, like Deep Impact. Do you remember that movie?

• 43:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:08Speaker 02

  Where the wave comes and just kills that couple who's just like hugging on the beach? He's like, oh. He would be just standing there-

• 43:14Speaker 01

  Oh, I think he just wants someone to hug. I don't think he cares about the wave.

• 43:18Speaker 02

  He's-

• 43:18Speaker 01

  He's inviting death?

• 43:19Speaker 02

  He has been on record saying that he wants to be on the beach doing this.

• 43:25Speaker 02

  Do you know, I mean, you probably know this because you were in my house growing up. Whenever it was a thunderstorm, he would stand at the back window and watch thunder and.

• 43:36Speaker 01

  I do that too. I can't lie.

• 43:38Speaker 02

  And then thunder happens and he goes, oh.

• 43:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, dude.

• 43:40Speaker 02

  He loves, he loves lightning.

• 43:42Speaker 01

  I love, I love, first of all, he's looking at lightning, not thunder.

• 43:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:46Speaker 01

  Thunder is, you know.

• 43:47Speaker 02

  It's the sound.

• 43:48Speaker 01

  It's the sound or the gyration of this, of this over here, you know, these hips.

• 43:53Speaker 02

  Of the thighs, yeah.

• 43:54Speaker 01

  Of my thunder. No, it's like a, I, I don't know if it's like a dad thing or what, but like, anytime it storms like bad, me, Becca and the kids sit in front of the window and we watch the lightning. Because it's so cool to see, because you're just looking and then you just see like, you know, like the lightning just like kind of crack up.

• 44:14Speaker 02

  I do like that.

• 44:14Speaker 01

  You know, and then I'm the one that's just like, alright, start counting. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, it's four miles away.

• 44:21Speaker 02

  That's funny. Is that true though?

• 44:23Speaker 01

  I don't know, but I will say this, I, have you ever like, has, has lightning struck where you are, like within like, close proximity?

• 44:33Speaker 02

  Um, yeah, I think so.

• 44:36Speaker 01

  Yo, I have never felt something like that in my entire life.

• 44:40Speaker 02

  You've been lightninged?

• 44:41Speaker 01

  I've not been lightninged, but I've been in the house in Astoria and lightning hit in the, the alleyway.

• 44:47Speaker 02

  Oh, I rem, wait, when was that? There was a, there was one time, oh no, it was recent. It was when my, uh, my last apartment in Astoria, there was a day, it woke me up out of sleep.

• 45:01Speaker 01

  Yo.

• 45:02Speaker 02

  And it was so loud and then I was like, yo, what was that? And everyone like everywhere was talking about that. And it ended up being this thing where, I think it was like low cloud cover and then with certain whatever, it just like, uh, trapped the sound of the thunder in a specific area and it was so loud dude, I thought my building was going down.

• 45:24Speaker 01

  You felt in your jellies, didn't you?

• 45:25Speaker 02

  Dude, it was, it scared the shit out of me. I didn't even think it was lightning.

• 45:29Speaker 01

  It woke you up?

• 45:30Speaker 02

  Legitimately.

• 45:31Speaker 01

  Yeah?

• 45:31Speaker 02

  Like it was like bang and I was like, oh my god, what was that?

• 45:34Speaker 01

  Oh, that sounds fun. That sounds really fun.

• 45:36Speaker 02

  Yo, it was so scary.

• 45:38Speaker 01

  There's nothing wrong with that.

• 45:39Speaker 02

  It's terrifying.

• 45:40Speaker 01

  I mean, if the planets align, that, that shit might happen. They might throw a hyper beam from the moon.

• 45:44Speaker 02

  I think, uh, you can only see it in India.

• 45:47Speaker 01

  Really?

• 45:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:48Speaker 01

  Aw, man!

• 45:48Speaker 02

  It says, "A celestial," which I love that word, "spectacle awaits sky watchers in India on January 25th."

• 45:53Speaker 01

  Wait, why is that the case? I guess because of where, like, they'll be and the time of the day. Aw, man!

• 46:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, they have all this-

• 46:01Speaker 01

  I wanted to go to India for several reasons, that's, I guess, another one. But not now, it's not gonna happen for another one. When's this gonna happen again?

• 46:08Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 46:08Speaker 01

  When do the planets line up?

• 46:10Speaker 02

  It says it's a rare celestial event.

• 46:12Speaker 01

  I love when people do that, where they're just like, "This is the last blood moon in 700 years," and it's like, "We just had one last week."

• 46:19Speaker 02

  Also, what is a blood moon? Is it just when it turns orange?

• 46:23Speaker 01

  Maybe. I think, I think it has something to do with, like, when it happens. Like, there's, like, they gave names to moons based off of, like, planets-

• 46:32Speaker 02

  What?

• 46:32Speaker 01

  Uh-oh, here we go.

• 46:34Speaker 02

  Shut the fuck up!

• 46:37Speaker 00

• 47:07Speaker 02

  Wait. Planets align January 25th. I just wanna make sure that we're...

• 47:17Speaker 02

  Bro. How often do these planets align? The ones that are aligning on the 25th from India, how often do they align?

• 47:24Speaker 01

  Well, they, I mean, you think about, they all have different rotations around the sun. Uh, so...

• 47:32Speaker 02

  You're pissing me off.

• 47:33Speaker 01

  I mean, I'm, I'm using logic! This is the one time-

• 47:37Speaker 02

  You're not gonna get it!

• 47:38Speaker 01

  But the one time, Joey, that I try to use logic to come to an answer. Instead of sitting there, and by the way, don't think I didn't see your tweet, bitch! Don't think I didn't see your tweet, bitch! You know, all people get followers, and now everyone knows their opinions. You're, I, is that about me, bitch?

• 47:52Speaker 02

  Frank.

• 47:54Speaker 02

  You ever hear that song, "You're so vain, you probably think this tweet is about you"? It's not about you, you dumbass! God.

• 48:03Speaker 01

  He got me good, folks. Um, alright, let's say, once every... Hundred years.

• 48:12Speaker 02

  I'm confused by this. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, how many planets are there?

• 48:16Speaker 01

  Eight, because they don't, they don't acknowledge Pluto anymore.

• 48:20Speaker 02

  My very educated mother just served us nine pickles.

• 48:25Speaker 01

  No, but they don't acknowledge Pluto anymore.

• 48:27Speaker 02

  So there's eight?

• 48:27Speaker 01

  Just nine.

• 48:28Speaker 02

  So a celestial spectacle awaits sky watchers in India on January twenty twenty fifth, January twenty five. Um, as seven planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Mercury align in a breathtaking arc.

• 48:41Speaker 01

  Wait, what happened?

• 48:42Speaker 02

  Mercury, I guess, and Earth are not involved in that?

• 48:45Speaker 01

  What the hell? They're leaving us out?

• 48:47Speaker 02

  But then that would be nine.

• 48:49Speaker 01

  No, it would be eight, brother.

• 48:50Speaker 02

  But they're saying as seven planets, Venus, Mars, Ju- oh, Mercury. Oh.

• 48:57Speaker 01

  So everyone's included but us?

• 48:59Speaker 02

  What the fuck? We're not included in this?

• 49:01Speaker 01

  Bet. Alright.

• 49:01Speaker 02

  That's fucked up.

• 49:02Speaker 01

  Alright, bet.

• 49:04Speaker 02

  Why would we not be?

• 49:05Speaker 01

  Galactic council, no problem.

• 49:06Speaker 02

  That's fucked. But I, I Googled it. I was like, what are the frequency? I didn't write this. The frequency of planetary alignments depend on how many planets are involved and how closely they're aligned.

• 49:15Speaker 01

  One every hundred years.

• 49:16Speaker 02

  So it's confusing because it says six or more planets. Six or more planets align within a small area of the sky about every a hundred years, which is what you said.

• 49:25Speaker 01

  Oh, look at that. Whoa, wow. I use logic and I get the answer.

• 49:28Speaker 02

  But then it says all seven planets, all seven planets align once in about twenty-two billion years.

• 49:35Speaker 01

  I mean, that's why it's not-

• 49:36Speaker 02

  Excuse me?

• 49:37Speaker 01

  That's why it's not happening right now, man.

• 49:40Speaker 02

  What?

• 49:40Speaker 01

  Our planet isn't aligning with us right now.

• 49:44Speaker 02

  It says all seven. Why does it say all seven plane align once? But like this says seven.

• 49:50Speaker 01

  I guess because you can't see Mercury aligning too. Because it's-

• 49:56Speaker 02

  Because we're looking that way?

• 49:57Speaker 01

  We're looking that way. Mercury is over there, like, what's up? And then the others are over there.

• 50:02Speaker 02

  Wait, what's the first planet?

• 50:04Speaker 01

  Mercury.

• 50:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:05Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:06Speaker 02

  But that's included in this.

• 50:07Speaker 01

  And then it's Venus.

• 50:09Speaker 02

  No.

• 50:10Speaker 01

  We're the third rock from the sun, baby.

• 50:12Speaker 02

  So Mercury and Venus and all the other planets except us.

• 50:17Speaker 01

  Venus is included too?

• 50:19Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 50:19Speaker 01

  What the fuck?

• 50:20Speaker 02

  Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Mercury.

• 50:25Speaker 01

  Just not us.

• 50:26Speaker 02

  By the way, I heard one time on a, like a, one of those sci-fi shows where they do like interviews with like scientists who would tell you like you're, you're, we're gonna be dead in a year or whatever. And he pronounced it Uranus.

• 50:36Speaker 01

  That's how it is pronounced. It's not Uranus, it's Uranus.

• 50:39Speaker 02

  Wait, really?

• 50:39Speaker 01

  Cause it's based off of, uh, like, um, I think it's like the Roman god. All the planets are named after gods.

• 50:49Speaker 01

  Mars is the god of war. Venus.

• 50:52Speaker 02

  Is the god of war for real?

• 50:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, Neptune was the god of the sea.

• 50:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, I remember that one.

• 50:56Speaker 01

  Um, I, I guess not Earth. We're just like, we're, it's our own thing.

• 51:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 51:01Speaker 01

  Uh, Venus is the god of love?

• 51:04Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 51:05Speaker 01

  Saturn is the god of, I think Uranus is like the god of gods or something like that. Or Janus, which is Jupiter.

• 51:12Speaker 02

  Is the Roman god of agriculture, harvest, abundance and time.

• 51:15Speaker 01

  Jupiter, no.

• 51:16Speaker 02

  Uranus is the god of sky and heavens.

• 51:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, crazy.

• 51:21Speaker 02

  And then who's the other one you said?

• 51:23Speaker 01

  Saturn.

• 51:23Speaker 02

  Venus is like beauty?

• 51:25Speaker 01

  Love, beauty.

• 51:26Speaker 02

  Love, beauty, fertility, sex.

• 51:28Speaker 01

  Ooh.

• 51:29Speaker 02

  Prosperity, victory.

• 51:30Speaker 01

  Ooh. There's something, there is that planet got something going on there.

• 51:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude, there's probably like crazy stuff going on.

• 51:36Speaker 01

  I mean, there's nothing going on because of.

• 51:38Speaker 02

  We don't know that, dude.

• 51:39Speaker 01

  We can with confidence probably say it's not.

• 51:41Speaker 02

  With confidence, probably, but we don't know. Maybe the aliens have like a thing that they're doing over there.

• 51:45Speaker 01

  I mean, they're very close to the sun.

• 51:47Speaker 02

  I know.

• 51:47Speaker 01

  They're like really close.

• 51:50Speaker 02

  Did you ask me this? Like what, what movie you would rather? Oh yeah, you did. It was like Harry Potter or whatever.

• 51:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 51:55Speaker 02

  But yo, thinking about being like in a Star Wars movie and being able to travel to other planets, like, how many years of intergalactic travel would have to exist before you're like, alright, fine, I'll do it?

• 52:06Speaker 01

  What do you mean, oh like?

• 52:07Speaker 02

  Like if they invented it right now.

• 52:09Speaker 01

  It's been well established for this many years.

• 52:10Speaker 02

  So like, you know how the way that flying is right now, where it's like, you're not, like, the plane's not going down.

• 52:16Speaker 01

  I'll do you one better. If I was 85.

• 52:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:21Speaker 01

  And intergalactic travel has been out for a while. And I'm not doing so hot, okay?

• 52:28Speaker 02

  You're gonna do it?

• 52:29Speaker 01

  It looks like I'm not gonna make it another year or two. And they're like, "Yo, we have the cure for it. You'll live another 20 years, but it's on Mars." I'd be like, "All right, might as well. Might as well. It'll take us, you know, at that time, maybe it'll, it'll take us like two years to get there instead of five, you know?"

• 52:48Speaker 02

  Wait, does it only take five years to get there?

• 52:50Speaker 01

  To Mars, I believe it does. You didn't see the Martian dude?

• 52:55Speaker 02

  I did, but I was like in and out. How long does it take to get to Mars? Seven or eight months.

• 53:11Speaker 01

  All right, the movie. The movie was wrong then, not me. Forgive me for putting my faith in a movie.

• 53:23Speaker 02

  Right, yeah. Movies are your bible.

• 53:28Speaker 01

  All right.

• 53:30Speaker 02

  I'm gonna expand on that, but we have some, some sponsors.

• 53:32Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 55:00Speaker 02

  It's a platform where you can build websites, you can buy domains, um, and it will help you build your website. Your website is very important if you're doing e-commerce, or you have some content, or anything that you want to showcase. People are gonna go to your website, if it doesn't look up to par, then people are gonna be like, eh, I don't know if I trust this anymore. So with Squarespace, they make it very easy to build these great-looking websites, because they have templates, pages of templates that you can pick from, to jumpstart, uh, you know, building this website. You can just switch out some pictures, fix the text and everything, and you're kind of good to go, okay? I've, I've built one in a day, like legitimately have done that before. So, uh, definitely go check it out, there's also a lot of other features that will help you optimize your traffic, uh, let you know where traffic is coming from, and, and whatnot.

• 55:42Speaker 02

  They do a great job, anything that we build over here, a website, we do it through Squarespace, okay? So, go to Squarespace.com/basement to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. Again, that is Squarespace.com/basement to save 10% off of your first purchase of a website or a domain, okay? There you go, folks. And, for you, sir,

• 56:06Speaker 02

  thinking about the space travel, um,

• 56:11Speaker 02

  let's say,

• 56:12Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 56:13Speaker 02

  Today,

• 56:13Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 56:14Speaker 02

  They like send people to any of the planets, and it's, it takes four days to get there, and four days to get back, let's just say that, right? And, uh, you can go to any planet,

• 56:30Speaker 02

  maybe add a little, add a day if it's past Jupiter or something, alright? Um...

• 56:37Speaker 02

  But they started doing it today, no problems. When? Like when? Like people start living there? You know what I mean?

• 56:47Speaker 02

  And like, is there a point in like 10 years where you're like, I'm gonna go visit Neptune?

• 56:54Speaker 01

  No.

• 56:54Speaker 02

  My cousin lives there.

• 56:55Speaker 01

  No.

• 56:56Speaker 02

  No?

• 56:57Speaker 01

  No.

• 56:57Speaker 02

  Cause you don't wanna get in a rocket?

• 56:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:00Speaker 01

  Bro, I get freaked out getting on planes.

• 57:03Speaker 02

  I can't imagine looking out the window.

• 57:05Speaker 01

  Bro, you look out the, like, I get in a plane and like, I'm like, you know the mentality, we've spoken openly about the mentality, I have to put myself in. You know, but there's even, even, and I know this is stupid, so you, please don't dogpile on top of me.

• 57:20Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 57:21Speaker 01

  But like, even in a plane, I have a thought of like, but you know what? I can land on Earth and like, by some miracle, make it. If, if, if a plane, if a plane were to, I know it's stupid, I know it's stupid.

• 57:36Speaker 02

  No, no, no, I'm asking, cause I don't really know what you're saying. You're saying like, if the plane was going down, you'd jump out?

• 57:42Speaker 01

  I don't know what I would do, but there is in my, in my toxic head.

• 57:46Speaker 02

  You're like, I'll fix.

• 57:46Speaker 01

  I will figure out a way to live.

• 57:48Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 57:48Speaker 01

  You know, whether it's like, oh, I, I land and I just like jump and aim and I, I hit a pool or something.

• 57:53Speaker 02

  Right.

• 57:55Speaker 02

  Jesus.

• 57:56Speaker 01

  But like, there is a part of me that is convinced myself that that is.

• 58:00Speaker 02

  You could do it.

• 58:01Speaker 01

  With space?

• 58:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 58:03Speaker 01

  There is nothing, dude.

• 58:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 58:05Speaker 01

  Nothing. Because, here's the thing. Something goes wrong up there?

• 58:09Speaker 02

  Right.

• 58:10Speaker 01

  Done, dude, like, there's no.

• 58:13Speaker 02

  You can't pull over.

• 58:13Speaker 01

  You can't pull over, you can't like, I'll just put a backpack on and with a, with a parachute and go back to Earth.

• 58:20Speaker 02

  Well, everyone would need helmets.

• 58:23Speaker 01

  What are the helmets gonna do? They'll just turn your, it'll be a layer of charred plastic over your head.

• 58:30Speaker 02

  No, we'd all have to wear spacesuits.

• 58:32Speaker 01

  Joey, I don't care what we're wearing. We could be wearing solid gold diapers. It's not gonna make me wanna go. No. As I am a terrestrial being, and for the rest of my foreseeable life, I will live the rest of my life being here on this planet. If they start putting people on Mars, good. My, let, let my, my ancestors deal with that.

• 59:01Speaker 02

  What if, you know how they did that space thing, which I don't even, I don't even know if that was real or not, but like, you can get in like a spaceship kinda, and like you see outer space, but you just come right back?

• 59:13Speaker 01

  No. No.

• 59:15Speaker 02

  But what if it's been going on for like 10 years and there's never been an issue?

• 59:18Speaker 01

  What do you get out of asking me these questions? You know I don't like it. You know, alright, alright Joe, alright Joe.

• 59:26Speaker 01

  If they have perfected going into the hollow Earth, but you need to go through the Marianas Trench.

• 59:33Speaker 02

  Oh my god.

• 59:35Speaker 01

  And you can see everything, all the crazy stuff in the hollow Earth.

• 59:38Speaker 02

  That would be better. Are you kidding me?

• 59:41Speaker 01

  You have, but you have to, it takes four days to get through the Marianas Trench.

• 59:45Speaker 02

  Okay, but am I, am I in danger?

• 59:48Speaker 01

  I mean, you're in a submarine.

• 59:50Speaker 02

  Same question. Like if-

• 59:52Speaker 01

  Same answer, bitch.

• 59:54Speaker 02

  If, if they've, if they're like, everyone does it, like the animals down there-

• 59:57Speaker 01

  It has been done, it has been done for five years.

• 1:00:01Speaker 02

  Five? No, no, no, no.

• 1:00:02Speaker 01

  10 years.

• 1:00:03Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:00:03Speaker 01

  We have put people through the Marianas Trench.

• 1:00:06Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:00:08Speaker 01

  Your turn.

• 1:00:09Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:00:09Speaker 01

  Money where your mouth is. Let's see your mouth, pretty boy.

• 1:00:12Speaker 02

  I think, don't say that. Um, I think I would.

• 1:00:18Speaker 01

  Crazy.

• 1:00:19Speaker 02

  Bro, imagine going down there and like the lights are all on?

• 1:00:21Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no. But like, it's like, alright, for like eight hours a day, we have to shut all the lights off, cuz you need to like, and you need to feel what it would be like to sleep.

• 1:00:32Speaker 01

  And there's windows.

• 1:00:34Speaker 02

  Well, I would want the windows. I like it better if I could see.

• 1:00:37Speaker 01

  Yo, but down there, you can't see anything.

• 1:00:40Speaker 02

  Right, so it's just dark.

• 1:00:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, until it isn't.

• 1:00:44Speaker 02

  What does that mean?

• 1:00:45Speaker 01

  Something flies by your window?

• 1:00:46Speaker 02

  Oh, oh, well, I would be more interested in that.

• 1:00:49Speaker 01

  And then you hear this.

• 1:00:52Speaker 02

  What am I, what am I gonna be scared by that? Oh, someone's knocking? A robber? Bro, I'm worried about giant fucking like, the kraken being down there.

• 1:00:59Speaker 01

  I'm saying you're down there in a solo pod.

• 1:01:02Speaker 02

  Now I'm alone?

• 1:01:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, bitch!

• 1:01:06Speaker 01

  You put me in this situation where you need, you know I'm not going to space. You know I'm not, unless Elon Musk came with a blank check. And he was just like, you know.

• 1:01:16Speaker 02

  So money would motivate you to go?

• 1:01:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, yes it would, Joey. But, I would need to pick the amount.

• 1:01:23Speaker 02

  I saw a great question on the internet, and I think it was a podcast, so I'm going to steal this, and I I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the podcast, but whoever you are, great job, good question. It may have been someone, I don't know. There's a thousand grapes. Right?

• 1:01:39Speaker 01

  I'm looking at them.

• 1:01:40Speaker 02

  You have a thousand grapes?

• 1:01:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:01:42Speaker 02

  Every grape you eat is fifty thousand dollars. But one of them's poisonous, it's gonna kill you. How many do you eat?

• 1:01:51Speaker 01

  Ooh. A thousand grapes?

• 1:01:54Speaker 02

  There's a thousand grapes, fifty thousand dollars. Fifty thousand dollars each grape?

• 1:01:59Speaker 01

  Um...

• 1:02:02Speaker 01

  I would, uh, ooh, man, that's tough. I would say, I would say at least a hundred grapes.

• 1:02:08Speaker 02

  Frankie, that is insane.

• 1:02:10Speaker 01

  Yeah? One of every ten.

• 1:02:13Speaker 02

  Frank. You'd eat a hundred grapes?

• 1:02:17Speaker 01

  I would take those chances.

• 1:02:20Speaker 02

  You won't go to space because you're afraid of that. I'm guaranteeing death.

• 1:02:24Speaker 01

  Alright, but if I get to grape ninety-nine, and then I die at grape a hundred, does my family still get all the money? Because I'll die for that.

• 1:02:33Speaker 02

  Okay, so you'll go down like that?

• 1:02:34Speaker 01

  I'll go down, if it's like, this, all this money is going to my kids, it's like, I'm getting the money, and if I die on the hundredth grape, they still get the other ninety-nine grapes of money?

• 1:02:43Speaker 02

  Okay. The ninety-nine grapes of money?

• 1:02:45Speaker 01

  Then I'm fine with it.

• 1:02:46Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:02:47Speaker 01

  How many do you think you're eating, realistically? And, and put, and, and be, put big, big, big, remember that sweet money mouth of yours? Close that shit and just think as if you were a normal person.

• 1:02:57Speaker 02

  Yeah. I, I, I don't think that I would eat any. I'd be too afraid.

• 1:03:03Speaker 01

  Oh, I'd have to eat at least five.

• 1:03:05Speaker 02

  I would get in my head and be like.

• 1:03:06Speaker 01

  I'd be like, "Oh, what?" Sorry, Charlie.

• 1:03:09Speaker 02

  That's what I mean, bro. Eating a hundred, first of all, eating a hundred grapes itself is fucking crazy.

• 1:03:13Speaker 01

  Nah, you can eat a hundred grapes.

• 1:03:14Speaker 02

  A hundred grapes?

• 1:03:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:03:16Speaker 02

  You're underestimating how many grapes that is.

• 1:03:17Speaker 01

  No, I think like a big, like a regular bundle of grapes is a hundred grapes.

• 1:03:21Speaker 02

  You're gonna sit there and eat an entire thing of grapes?

• 1:03:24Speaker 01

  I like grapes.

• 1:03:25Speaker 02

  That's crazy.

• 1:03:25Speaker 01

  Do I get to pick the type of grapes?

• 1:03:27Speaker 02

  Sure. Doesn't make them less poisonous.

• 1:03:30Speaker 01

  Black seedless grapes. Oh, my goodness.

• 1:03:33Speaker 02

  Imagine picking.

• 1:03:33Speaker 01

  Real crunchy bitches, too. Like, I bite into them and it's like.

• 1:03:37Speaker 02

  Imagine the first grape you take.

• 1:03:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, that'd be upsetting. But like.

• 1:03:41Speaker 02

  First one's a prank, though.

• 1:03:43Speaker 01

  Yeah. "Oh shit, he took the poisoned one!" Nah, keep going.

• 1:03:46Speaker 02

  No, no, no. First one, you're like, you eat it and you go, "Oh, oh."

• 1:03:49Speaker 01

  This would be a good Santa Gato Studios video, bitch.

• 1:03:52Speaker 02

  Oh, so I'll poison one. I'll put a bunch of bleach in it.

• 1:03:54Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But you can, like, you can, like, somehow.

• 1:04:00Speaker 02

  One grape tastes like throw up.

• 1:04:02Speaker 01

  Like, one grape is, or like, just put like, something in the grape. And they'll be like, "Oh, wait, something's in this one." And you could say like, "Yo, like, a hundred, like, every grape you eat is a dollar."

• 1:04:11Speaker 02

  This, we're getting into Mr. Beast territory right now.

• 1:04:13Speaker 01

  I think, I mean, listen, man, we got the new studio. We need to fill it up somehow.

• 1:04:17Speaker 02

  Each grape you eat is twenty bucks.

• 1:04:19Speaker 01

  Each grape you eat is, uh, no, do a hundred grapes per person. Each grape you eat is a dollar.

• 1:04:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm not, I'm not asking you to ball out, you know, but like.

• 1:04:31Speaker 02

  But I'm saying, like, I mean, if it's gonna be like a Mr. Beast video, it has to be like, well, we're gonna, I don't know, some crazy shit.

• 1:04:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:38Speaker 02

  Each grape's a million dollars!

• 1:04:40Speaker 01

  In this grape is a million dollars. And if you eat it, I'm gonna shoot this person in the back of the head. Yeah.

• 1:04:47Speaker 02

  If you eat the wrong one, someone is going to kill you with a bat.

• 1:04:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:52Speaker 02

  Uh.

• 1:04:54Speaker 02

  What if this, right? We blindfold three of you. And I put grapes in front of you guys.

• 1:05:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, baby. I'm, I'm, I'm, I like this.

• 1:05:06Speaker 02

  And it's like, you're all kind of in it together, right? So like, and that's the, the pot. Why aren't we doing this on the episode?

• 1:05:14Speaker 01

  I mean, people want to see the creative process of how, how things get done.

• 1:05:18Speaker 02

  I wonder if it will happen though. Probably not. But like, you get like a plate of grapes, right? Mostly red, but there's like, so let's say you get fifty grapes.

• 1:05:31Speaker 02

  And eight of them are green grapes. Right?

• 1:05:38Speaker 01

  Okay, I'm gonna ignore the fact that you said green grips.

• 1:05:41Speaker 02

  Green grapes.

• 1:05:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:05:42Speaker 02

  So green and red, so you know what I mean? So those would be the poisonous ones. And there's three of them, so everyone gets fifty. And each one is twenty bucks that you eat. But if any of you eat a green one, you lose all the money.

• 1:05:57Speaker 01

  I think it'd be a really fun video.

• 1:05:59Speaker 02

  So it'd be like, yo, you ate it. And it's kind of, or even, or like this. You eat it. And maybe you don't even, well, I know that's stupid, nevermind. I was gonna say, you don't know if you lost or not yet. Until the end of the video. Yeah.

• 1:06:14Speaker 01

  I, I think, yeah, yeah, I would say if it's a thousand grapes.

• 1:06:18Speaker 02

  That's way too much, that's way too much money. What am I saying?

• 1:06:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's why I said a dollar a grape.

• 1:06:22Speaker 02

  Oh, no, a hundred fifty times twenty, what is that?

• 1:06:25Speaker 01

  Uh, uh, one thousand, one fifty times two, so two thousand three, two thousand three hundred?

• 1:06:36Speaker 01

  What'd you say again?

• 1:06:37Speaker 02

  I don't know, now I'm confused.

• 1:06:38Speaker 01

  You said one fifty times twenty?

• 1:06:40Speaker 02

  One fifty times twenty.

• 1:06:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, oh, three thousand, oops.

• 1:06:44Speaker 02

  Oh, so then we'll, we'll like double that or something. Oh, you're just- Fifty bucks, fifty bucks a grape. It has to be high stakes. You guys have to like, feel like, yo, we have enough money right now, let's just call it quits before we fuck this up.

• 1:06:55Speaker 01

  But it, it would be per person or like the-

• 1:06:57Speaker 02

  No, like collectively.

• 1:07:00Speaker 02

  So you guys could make like a couple thousand dollars in this video if you like play it right.

• 1:07:03Speaker 01

  Damn, that's crazy.

• 1:07:05Speaker 02

  That'd be a cool video. You know, we gotta do that, like a mini Mr. Beast.

• 1:07:08Speaker 01

  Yeah, we can call it Mr. Animal.

• 1:07:10Speaker 02

  Mr. Little Lion Boy.

• 1:07:11Speaker 01

  Little Guy Animal.

• 1:07:12Speaker 02

  Little Lion Man.

• 1:07:13Speaker 01

  Little Lion.

• 1:07:13Speaker 02

  And that's the, who's that? That's a country, country, country, country.

• 1:07:17Speaker 01

  You're asking me to name a country singer?

• 1:07:19Speaker 02

  Mumford and Sons.

• 1:07:20Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:07:21Speaker 02

  Is that country? I don't know.

• 1:07:22Speaker 01

  You know me, the person that can just generate the name of country music stars.

• 1:07:26Speaker 02

  Yeah. Mumford and Sons, shout out to them.

• 1:07:29Speaker 01

  Or just let them have their thing. We don't need to shout them out.

• 1:07:32Speaker 02

  Okay. Well, anyway, I think that's all we have for today. Uh, also, this is our last episode that we're shooting in the old studio, so RIP.

• 1:07:40Speaker 01

  Touch the walls, boys and girls and anyone, however you identify.

• 1:07:43Speaker 02

  I wonder how, if you wanna like keep anything from here, cause you're that type of guy.

• 1:07:47Speaker 01

  I thought about it honestly, but uh, probably, probably won't.

• 1:07:50Speaker 02

  Frank's gonna, right before he leaves today, turn around and go.

• 1:07:54Speaker 02

  Shut the lights and leave.
