  Welcome back to the basement.

• 0:34Speaker 02

  Welcome back.

• 0:35Speaker 01

  Welcome back to the fucking basement yard!

• 0:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 0:40Speaker 01

  I had a, I had a, you know.

• 0:42Speaker 02

  You haven't done the accent in a little bit, now that we've been back.

• 0:45Speaker 01

  No one cares if I do it at home, you know? I think I've probably annoyed my family with it at this point.

• 0:52Speaker 02

  See, that's shocking, because I didn't think that you ever could annoy anybody.

• 0:59Speaker 01

  You heard that shit, right?

• 1:00Speaker 02

  I heard a gasp over there.

• 1:03Speaker 01

  Aunt gasped, I am, I am gassed. Gasp?

• 1:09Speaker 02

  I don't know if that's...

• 1:10Speaker 01

  I am a gassed?

• 1:11Speaker 02

  You are a gassed?

• 1:12Speaker 01

  A gassedly.

• 1:14Speaker 02

  Don't make this about Pokemon.

• 1:15Speaker 01

  I'm sorry, it's always about Pokemon with me.

• 1:17Speaker 02

  We just got back from Europe, two days ago, I think?

• 1:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, why are you saying that? Like, really like a day and a half ago.

• 1:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 1:25Speaker 01

  What time, by the way, what time did you like walk into your place?

• 1:31Speaker 02

  I don't know, what time did we land, like 4:30 or something?

• 1:33Speaker 01

  No, we landed at like 3:20.

• 1:34Speaker 02

  Oh, then I probably got home, I got home in an hour and 10 minutes.

• 1:38Speaker 01

  That's not too bad. Uh, yeah, we're back, the boys are back, we had a really successful... The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town!

• 1:48Speaker 01

  Bing, diddly diddly, the boys are back in town! The boys are back in town! Thin Lizzy, I think sings that.

• 1:56Speaker 02

  Thin Lizzy.

• 1:57Speaker 01

  Thin Lizzy. Who is she?

• 1:58Speaker 02

  Who is she? Why is she so thin?

• 2:00Speaker 01

  Clearly made an impression. Is she okay? Get this Lizzy.

• 2:04Speaker 02

  Get her fucking point.

• 2:06Speaker 01

  Yeah. Uh, so what Joe is referencing, uh, is, um, while we were in Europe, we, uh, we had three, we, we had several shows in three different countries.

• 2:15Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:15Speaker 01

  First stop was in Glasgow.

• 2:17Speaker 02

  Glasgow, Scotland?

• 2:19Speaker 01

  Scotland, Scotland.

• 2:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:21Speaker 01

  You know, and, and then we, we, we went right over London, went, "Don't, you're fucking, don't it."

• 2:28Speaker 02

  Fuck off.

• 2:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, and then, uh...

• 2:30Speaker 02

  You had three shows there, had a great time there.

• 2:32Speaker 01

  And then we ended up in, uh, Dub- Dublin, Ireland.

• 2:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:36Speaker 01

  I'm still working on that one. That's the only one I, but it's tough. You scared me.

• 2:40Speaker 02

  Hmm?

• 2:40Speaker 01

  Joey scared me into practicing, cause what, uh, as soon as, I practiced the Scottish accent, and I think I got it pretty good.

• 2:47Speaker 02

  It's good.

• 2:48Speaker 01

  You know, and just like, give me something to say.

• 2:51Speaker 02

  Hey, how are ya?

• 2:52Speaker 01

  See, but like, give it, like, something with like, "Hey, how are ya?" Like, it, it's not great, but like, while it was there, it was better. I think, I think...

• 3:00Speaker 02

  Okay. It's the air?

• 3:01Speaker 01

  I think the air and the ground.

• 3:03Speaker 02

  Blame the air and the ground.

• 3:04Speaker 01

  You know, but like, "Scotland, how are ya?"

• 3:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:06Speaker 01

  "We had a fucking proper time in Scotland."

• 3:09Speaker 02

  How many Guinesses do you think that you had? We also had a baby Guinness shot for the first time. Those are delicious.

• 3:17Speaker 01

  Those are delicious. And the reason they call them baby Guinness is because they look like a...

• 3:20Speaker 02

  Little Guinness.

• 3:22Speaker 01

  We do baby Guinness.

• 3:25Speaker 01

  I would say...

• 3:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:28Speaker 01

  A couple dozen.

• 3:29Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 3:33Speaker 01

  Back and forth. He's gasping over there.

• 3:35Speaker 02

  Geese.

• 3:36Speaker 01

  He's all over. Love it. Listen, I've always...

• 3:40Speaker 02

  I love the stuff.

• 3:41Speaker 01

  You know, it's so fucking funny.

• 3:43Speaker 02

  Fucking funny. Yeah, Frank, why is this upset you? I, I didn't like Guinness when we were nineteen. Let it go. It was over ten years ago.

• 3:52Speaker 01

  Even, even a couple years ago, when we were recording episodes of the Basement Yard Podcast, which you could find everywhere.

• 4:00Speaker 01

  You would openly say, "I don't like Guinness. It's, it's gross to me." And you know what? I'm not gonna give you too much...

• 4:06Speaker 02

  What do you want out of this interaction?

• 4:07Speaker 01

  Nothing. I'm not, that's why, I literally was just gonna say, "I'm not gonna give you too much shit," because I understand our palate changes as we grow up and we experience more of the world. I do, that's what I'm saying!

• 4:16Speaker 02

  There's no need to bring it up.

• 4:18Speaker 01

  I brought it up bitch, now what?

• 4:19Speaker 02

  I said I liked it, and then you're like, "Oh, you didn't like it 10 years ago."

• 4:23Speaker 01

  I think it was just-

• 4:23Speaker 02

  A decade ago, you said you didn't like it!

• 4:25Speaker 01

  It's, Joey, you and I need to hold each other accountable. So as we grow up in life, and we like things that we previously had not liked, we're gonna bring it up! So, you've done this to me too!

• 4:37Speaker 02

  You like the same things that you've liked since 2009.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  And then there's some other stuff that I've also liked too.

• 4:43Speaker 02

  Which ones?

• 4:44Speaker 01

  Um, uh-

• 4:47Speaker 02

  Nothing.

• 4:47Speaker 01

  I like watches, I used to make fun of watches!

• 4:49Speaker 02

  It's true.

• 4:50Speaker 01

  I used to make fun of them, but see, I grow. I blossom into this beautiful butterfly that you see in front of you.

• 4:54Speaker 02

  So you're allowed, but I'm not?

• 4:56Speaker 01

  No, you are, that's what, I just said I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna give you too much shit!

• 4:59Speaker 02

  But you gave shit.

• 5:00Speaker 01

  We gave-

• 5:00Speaker 02

  You handed me shit on a platter.

• 5:02Speaker 01

  Well, so we took the red eye into Edinburgh, am I saying that right? Because it's not pronounced, it's not spelled that way. It is spelled Edinburgh.

• 5:10Speaker 02

  Edinburgh.

• 5:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think the GH is just like, bruh.

• 5:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 5:16Speaker 01

  It's not like, "Gurma."

• 5:16Speaker 02

  Edinburgh.

• 5:17Speaker 01

  Uh, and then, uh, some of us, it was a little tough on some of us, you know, I can't sleep on planes. You-

• 5:24Speaker 02

  I barely slept.

• 5:25Speaker 01

  So, we were pretty tired.

• 5:26Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:27Speaker 01

  Best way to stay awake was with a couple Guinness.

• 5:30Speaker 02

  A couple, a couple of Guinness.

• 5:31Speaker 01

  And seeing a castle, too!

• 5:33Speaker 02

  Loved the castle.

• 5:34Speaker 01

  There was a big bitch there!

• 5:35Speaker 02

  Dude, I can't even, we went to the Edinburgh Castle, and there was a chapel on the grounds, and there was a sign outside, like, "This was built in 1130."

• 5:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's old.

• 5:47Speaker 02

  How is that even a real year? You know what I mean? Oh, and then when we were in Dublin, we saw the book, they're like, "This book is from 800." I'm like, "That doesn't even sound real."

• 5:56Speaker 01

  It doesn't make sense, because like, before, like-

• 6:00Speaker 02

  800?

• 6:00Speaker 01

  I'll be really honest with you, it's hard for me to conceptualize things before the year 1900. Like, before 1900, it's like, this is an ancient relic.

• 6:12Speaker 02

  I mean, yeah.

• 6:13Speaker 01

  But like, it's hard for me to realize that, and conceptualize that. Now you're going another 1100 years prior.

• 6:21Speaker 02

  The year 800? That's a joke!

• 6:24Speaker 01

  And who's keeping track of years at that point?

• 6:27Speaker 02

  There were people, like scribes or something.

• 6:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, but I don't think they were just like, "Oh, welcome to year 801." I think they probably can like carbon date some of the things.

• 6:36Speaker 02

  No, they had calendars. Then the Mayan calendar was like old as hell.

• 6:40Speaker 01

  And the Mayan, amongst the Mayan people.

• 6:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:43Speaker 01

  I don't think they were like, in Scotland, they were like, "What are the Mayans saying the year is?"

• 6:47Speaker 02

  So you're saying that no one was keeping track of the days?

• 6:50Speaker 01

  I'm sure they were, but they probably were all scattershot. They were probably like, over here was one day, over there was another, so they've had to like kinda try to like loop it all together.

• 7:04Speaker 02

  I don't even know what you're trying to say. Are you saying like the years are completely off?

• 7:07Speaker 01

  I'm saying they might have been off, like the way that they had kept time and like tracked it, but like now because of like, "Oh, this happened, they say this happened in this year and this happened in this year, so it probably happened in this year." And they can use carbon dating.

• 7:21Speaker 02

  I think that you're just trying to like make yourself understand it, so you're like, "There's no way they got it right."

• 7:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 7:27Speaker 02

  Which is not fair.

• 7:28Speaker 01

  Before 1900, everyone was stupid in my opinion. Like there were no smart people.

• 7:33Speaker 02

  How many are there now?

• 7:35Speaker 01

  Good amount, uh, you know, us.

• 7:38Speaker 02

  Well, well what? That was a hot start. Us?

• 7:43Speaker 01

  I think there are smart people, but like, you've never thought of like if you were put in like the Wild West, you wouldn't like rule the town? Because of how smart you are? We just talked about this.

• 7:53Speaker 02

  Oh, like today if you put me in the Wild West?

• 7:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, if you like time traveled back to the Wild West. Or like the medieval times, dude.

• 7:58Speaker 02

  No way Frank, are you insane? You in the medieval times, well, well, you're just the smartest guy in the world, what are you gonna do? Dude, these people fight each other with swords. What are you gonna do in that situation?

• 8:08Speaker 01

  I mean, you give me some time, I think I'd be...

• 8:10Speaker 02

  Also, they had poison back then, people were getting poisoned.

• 8:12Speaker 01

  Well, because they, well, they had food testers.

• 8:15Speaker 02

  Right.

• 8:15Speaker 01

  So they'd be like, "Yo, chew my food, they don't die, I'm good." You know, "Also, I prepare my own food."

• 8:21Speaker 02

  How do you plan on taking over the town in a medieval village?

• 8:25Speaker 01

  Well, I would-

• 8:26Speaker 02

  You would have to be a good fighter.

• 8:27Speaker 01

  I would bring a lighter with me.

• 8:29Speaker 02

  You would bring a lighter?

• 8:30Speaker 01

  I'd bring a lighter with me.

• 8:31Speaker 02

  Oh, so you're walking into a time machine?

• 8:32Speaker 01

  So, yes, that's what I just said. You're like, you're a time machine displaced.

• 8:36Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 8:37Speaker 01

  And I'd bring some stuff with me. I'd bring a lighter.

• 8:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:39Speaker 01

  Uh, I would bring-

• 8:41Speaker 03

  They'd probably kill you as a witch, immediately, if you showed the-

• 8:44Speaker 01

  No, because I'd be like, "Yo, you're cra-" I'm hexing all of you guys. Watch this. Fire from my hand.

• 8:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you can't hurt anyone with a lighter.

• 8:51Speaker 01

  Yes, I can.

• 8:51Speaker 02

  How?

• 8:52Speaker 01

  I'd burn them.

• 8:55Speaker 02

  Frank, if I have a sword and you have a lighter, I'm cutting your head off.

• 8:59Speaker 01

  I don't, I don't think-

• 9:01Speaker 02

  You don't think that?

• 9:02Speaker 01

  I don't think so.

• 9:03Speaker 02

  You're like, "Oh, I have a lighter. I could just-"

• 9:04Speaker 01

  Oh!

• 9:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, or a bow and arrow.

• 9:06Speaker 01

  You didn't even ask me what else I was bringing. I'm bringing a handgun with a good amount of ammo.

• 9:12Speaker 02

  But you, with a good amount of ammo. But you don't have a handgun.

• 9:15Speaker 01

  I'll go get one. If I know, like, "Oh, tomorrow I'm going in this time machine," I'm bringing a handgun with me.

• 9:20Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 9:21Speaker 01

  You know, and I'll bring a backpack filled with ammo, a couple lighters.

• 9:25Speaker 02

  Uh- So you're just going back to raise hell?

• 9:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 9:28Speaker 02

  Okay, good.

• 9:31Speaker 01

  They'd be like, "Yo, oh yeah?" Bang. Now what?

• 9:36Speaker 02

  I wouldn't even wanna take over a, like, if I had a time machine, I don't think I would go back to, like, medieval times, or-

• 9:42Speaker 01

  Oh, I wouldn't either. But if I had to, I would.

• 9:44Speaker 02

  Would you rather go in the past or in the future?

• 9:46Speaker 01

  Past.

• 9:47Speaker 02

  But where would you go?

• 9:49Speaker 01

  Um, so here's the question. There's so many questions I have right now.

• 9:54Speaker 02

  Well, there's one question that came from the question person, the question asker, and then you're supposed to give it an answer.

• 10:00Speaker 01

  I have questions that will dictate my answer. Am I in my current form, and is my at-the-time version of me there? Or is it just like, I will take the version of whatever time I am in? So like-

• 10:13Speaker 03

  That's a good question.

• 10:14Speaker 01

  So like, am I going to-

• 10:15Speaker 02

  I mean, if you go back to third grade, you're not gonna look like this.

• 10:18Speaker 01

  Well, okay, so that's my question.

• 10:19Speaker 02

  Oh, your brain will be in your body. So you would go back in your timeline?

• 10:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, I would, I would, I would do that, 100%. Hundred million percent. You wouldn't do that at all.

• 10:31Speaker 02

  Go back to like when I was like sixteen?

• 10:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, what I mean sixteen, six, uh, whatever you want, you can twenty, you know, like uh, last week, you could go back, you know, like, it doesn't matter, but like

• 10:43Speaker 02

  Right, but you could also go like way back and like, I don't know.

• 10:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, but then I'm just like a normal person in like the nineteen thirties. What is cool about that?

• 10:52Speaker 02

  So why, why would you, so where would you go?

• 10:55Speaker 01

  I'd like to, I'd like to hang as myself, like, as like a six-year-old, you know?

• 11:01Speaker 02

  You wanna put your thirty-three-year-old brain into a six-year-old?

• 11:04Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:05Speaker 02

  And then do what?

• 11:07Speaker 01

  Have a really fun time.

• 11:08Speaker 02

  All your friends are six, Frank. This is weird.

• 11:11Speaker 01

  No, I don't care about other, hanging out with other people.

• 11:13Speaker 02

  So what are you gonna do? You're not even allowed out.

• 11:15Speaker 01

  I'm gonna play with my toys.

• 11:18Speaker 01

  What do you mean?

• 11:19Speaker 02

  You're gonna take your brain, put it in a six-year-old so that you have a bedtime? And then, and then you're gonna play with your toys?

• 11:27Speaker 01

  I would like to do that, yes. I have all my toys, play with to- toys.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  But you won't even have the nostalgic effect, like you're, you're, you're

• 11:34Speaker 01

  I would be like, I remember, this is, these are like, yeah, cuz I still have my current day brain.

• 11:38Speaker 02

  Oh, you wanna live deja vu?

• 11:39Speaker 01

  Just like, live for like a couple days, not, not too long.

• 11:42Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 11:42Speaker 01

  You know, and then I would tell my parents, like, first of all, dad, come home.

• 11:47Speaker 02

  Right.

• 11:48Speaker 01

  Let, let's talk. There's this thing that's coming out called Google, called Apple. Oh, Apple had been out at that point.

• 11:55Speaker 02

  So was Google.

• 11:57Speaker 01

  When we were six?

• 11:58Speaker 02

  I think so, right?

• 11:59Speaker 01

  Say, Google, Amazon, Apple.

• 12:03Speaker 02

  Bitcoin.

• 12:04Speaker 01

  Yeah. Well, that's, that's in the future. I would tell them about that, too.

• 12:07Speaker 02

  I would tell them, that above anything.

• 12:08Speaker 01

  I would say, I would say all of those. Amazon, Google, Apple, Bitcoin. Uh...

• 12:16Speaker 01

  Uber, maybe, because Uber blew up. I would say, put money into those things as soon as you can. Don't fuck around.

• 12:24Speaker 02

  Do you think, don't fuck around? This is coming from the body of a six-year-old, by the way.

• 12:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think my dad would not take me seriously.

• 12:31Speaker 02

  I don't think anybody would. You think your mom would be like, yes, six-year-old Frank?

• 12:37Speaker 01

  And I'll be like, I can tell you things about yourself that you don't know that I know yet.

• 12:43Speaker 01

  So I'll fuck with him.

• 12:43Speaker 02

  But you can make that up, yo. A six-year-old could say that to you. Like, your daughter could be like-

• 12:48Speaker 01

  No, but like, it would be real. It would be, I'm not saying like, in the future. But like, at that time, be like, "By the way, I know what's currently going on with you. I know you haven't told us, but like, I'm showing you I'm wise beyond my years here."

• 13:00Speaker 02

  You've watched a lot of movies.

• 13:02Speaker 01

  I have, too many.

• 13:03Speaker 02

  I love how that's, that your plan is to play with your toys when you're six years old.

• 13:08Speaker 01

  That's so funny.

• 13:10Speaker 02

  You could do that now.

• 13:10Speaker 01

  It makes sense. Yeah, you could do that now. No, it's weird if I do it now.

• 13:14Speaker 02

  Okay. I mean, you'd still be you now in a body of a six-year-old.

• 13:20Speaker 01

  I just think it would be cool. And then I would tell myself-

• 13:22Speaker 02

  Are you in school at six? Yeah, right?

• 13:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, you're in first grade. And then I would tell myself-

• 13:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, maybe in Miss Di Filippi's class.

• 13:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was last name out there now. I would also tell myself, or my parents, I would say like, "Go buy as many Pokemon cards as you can. Go buy as many, like, inbox Pokemon games."

• 13:40Speaker 02

  You realize you probably did say this at six, and they didn't do it.

• 13:46Speaker 02

  They did not do it. They're like, "Okay."

• 13:48Speaker 01

  I would just like, I would really, like, I'd come out a bajillionaire.

• 13:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:53Speaker 01

  I would.

• 13:54Speaker 02

  How old? So this is 1998, you're saying you go back to?

• 13:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think, I think we would do pretty well for ourselves.

• 13:59Speaker 02

  I mean, I would, I would definitely, you know, tell my parents and stuff, like, "In three years, stay out of Manhattan."

• 14:07Speaker 01

  There it is. Yeah, that one, I would probably, I mean, your parents weren't in Manhattan.

• 14:11Speaker 02

  True, but I would say, "Spread the word about the island."

• 14:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, then, so you think that people are not gonna listen to me about Apple, Google, Uber, Amazon, and Bitcoin? But they're gonna listen to you about an oncoming terrorist attack that kills 3,000 people.

• 14:27Speaker 02

  I'll be honest with you, first of all, I'm not going back to 1998. If I had a time machine-

• 14:33Speaker 01

  Oh, let me guess, let me guess. You're going back to 2013, so you could see 21-year-old Joe and just be like, "Hey, stop shaving your head. Let's talk about the future." Also, Young and Restless is not a good clothing brand investment right now. You should probably stop wearing it so much.

• 14:50Speaker 02

  Reckless. I-

• 14:52Speaker 01

  Did I say restless?

• 14:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:53Speaker 01

  Soap opera.

• 14:55Speaker 02

  That's a soap opera?

• 14:56Speaker 01

  The Young and the Restless, yeah.

• 14:58Speaker 02

  Do you watch soap operas? Is that a thing? Oh, okay, I was gonna say, that's bananas, but, uh- I wouldn't go back in my life. I would go way behind that.

• 15:07Speaker 01

  To do what?

• 15:08Speaker 02

  See what it was like.

• 15:10Speaker 01

  I mean, you can read about what it was like. Why do you need to see it?

• 15:12Speaker 02

  Frank, you already lived this. You can just remember it.

• 15:15Speaker 01

  But I forgot it.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  Your fault.

• 15:18Speaker 01

  And I'm setting myself up for the future. So are you gonna be like, "Hey, young Warren Buffett, let's talk about like who I am to you and like how I can, like, once I'm born in 1992, how we can work together."

• 15:30Speaker 02

  No. I, I think if I had the choice to be like, you can go back to any time in life and experience that for a certain amount of whatever, like, I wouldn't pick shit I've already experienced. Why would I do that?

• 15:43Speaker 01

  Crazy. Because you want to re-experience it. Resolidify the memory in your brain, the feeling, so you could pass that along to future generations, whether they be your children, your grandchildren, or whatever. Instilling that sense of love and, and, and playfulness and childlike wonder, remembering what that is, reconnecting with your roots, and then give that to the next generation in order for them to maintain that, is something that is wildly valuable.

• 16:09Speaker 02

  You don't think you could do that without a, without a time machine? You can remember everything. You remember your childhood.

• 16:14Speaker 01

  I remember a lot, but there's a lot I don't.

• 16:15Speaker 02

  Frank, you remember everything.

• 16:16Speaker 01

  I remember a lot.

• 16:17Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:18Speaker 01

  But there's a lot that I don't remember.

• 16:19Speaker 02

  And that's okay.

• 16:20Speaker 01

  I just think that it is exceptionally more important.

• 16:23Speaker 02

  And maybe-

• 16:23Speaker 01

  Back at a time, by the way-

• 16:24Speaker 02

  By the way-

• 16:25Speaker 01

  When companies were way more playful with their marketing and stuff. There is a way to go back. Maybe I go back and I buy some green ketchup. Maybe I go back and, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you know, uh, talk to Robert Downey Jr. and I give him the push to accept the Iron Man role. Maybe I go back

• 16:45Speaker 01

  and I, I, I lend a, a, a, a, a helping hand to a young Christopher Reeve before he rode on that horse, you know? Just, just do as much good as I can.

• 16:57Speaker 02

  These are all before you were born, no?

• 16:59Speaker 01

  Christopher Reeve, I think that happened in like 95.

• 17:01Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 17:01Speaker 01

  Um-

• 17:02Speaker 02

  Oh, so when you were three years old, you're gonna help him off the horse.

• 17:07Speaker 01

  Or just say, "Hey, don't get on that horse, Mr. Reeve."

• 17:10Speaker 02

  Alright.

• 17:10Speaker 01

  Um, there's so much that I could do. The opportunities, the possibilities are truly endless. Uh, and, uh, we started talking about this because we were talking about a book from fourteen hundred years ago. Nope, that's not right, twelve hundred years ago.

• 17:23Speaker 02

  Would you go back in your life, or would you go back a different time? Or in the future?

• 17:27Speaker 01

  I mean, you wouldn't go back before Twisted Tees existed, so...

• 17:30Speaker 03

  Right, right. I think it'd be cool to experience something that you have, like you're just sitting around looking.

• 17:35Speaker 01

  Oh my god, the first time you went to Disney? Dude, you're fucking...

• 17:39Speaker 03

  Actually, yeah, I mean, that's a... I mean, think about it.

• 17:41Speaker 02

  Why, that's not interesting to me.

• 17:44Speaker 03

  I mean, I'm like, "I'm gonna go see the pyramids being built, alright."

• 17:47Speaker 01

  Yeah!

• 17:48Speaker 02

  I mean, that would be super cool, like imagine...

• 17:50Speaker 01

  Whoa, they're being built!

• 17:52Speaker 02

  But, but yeah, but...

• 17:53Speaker 01

  Now what? You're gonna come here and tell people and no one's gonna believe you?

• 17:56Speaker 03

  It would be cool.

• 17:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, but we're going back to the same thing. You can make the same argument, that you're six years old and you're like, "Oh, invest in Uber." And your mom's gonna be like, "What the fuck is that?" Yeah, but...

• 18:04Speaker 02

  "It's a car, it shows up, and it's, it's on a phone." She's gonna be like, "I don't know what any of that means."

• 18:09Speaker 01

  Ant?

• 18:10Speaker 03

  Am I in a, uh, like a bubble and I could watch, or do I have to be on the...

• 18:14Speaker 01

  Sure, yeah, sure, if you want.

• 18:16Speaker 02

  You're in a bubble?

• 18:16Speaker 03

  Like, the time machine, you know, am I, am I looking?

• 18:18Speaker 01

  We're talking, we're talking, uh, what was that word? Westworld here. Like, we're, we got Westworld technology. You can kinda do whatever you want. If you wanna pay for the service where you're just like a, a silent watcher...

• 18:28Speaker 02

  How about this? You can just, you can go back, but you're like, your body, but no one knows that it's you.

• 18:34Speaker 02

  You understand?

• 18:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, I get you.

• 18:35Speaker 02

  So like, you could theoretically see yourself in whatever you go back to.

• 18:38Speaker 01

  Or you can go back and be like, "Mom, Dad, I'm your son from the future."

• 18:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't wanna ruin everything.

• 18:43Speaker 01

  Let's talk. Guess what happens?

• 18:46Speaker 02

  I wouldn't do, what, what, I don't think you'd get a lot out of that. But imagine you could go back and just know these questions that people have been wondering for so long. And you can go back and like, actually figure, not figure out, but like, witness something. Like, that would be cool.

• 19:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't really care.

• 19:04Speaker 02

  Alright.

• 19:07Speaker 02

  That's fine.

• 19:08Speaker 01

  I don't really care. I don't know how we got from Scotland to here.

• 19:12Speaker 02

  Cause we were talking about how old those places are. And that's the thing that is so cool about Europe too, like in why, you know, I guess where we grew up is kind of like eh. Cause things get torn down and built up all the time. So everything's like relatively new. Everything in this, not everything, but like a lot of the stuff in those cities are from hundreds of years ago.

• 19:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:30Speaker 02

  And they're very pretty.

• 19:31Speaker 01

  Yes, they are, but also their infrastructure is also clearly based off of things from hundreds of years ago. Because the plumbing and electric out there was not great.

• 19:42Speaker 02

  It's not perf. It's definitely not perf.

• 19:44Speaker 01

  We lost, we lost power in three straight Airbnbs. Bang, bang, boom. Three days in a row. No power, no power. Just because someone plugged in. By the way, like, not like plugged in, like dumb, did a dumb American thing and like plugged like an American plug into something. It was a legit.

• 20:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:01Speaker 01

  Scottish plug.

• 20:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:03Speaker 01

  And they fuck, it went, we lost power. And then Mikey filmed it. I imagine it'll be available in some capacity, but like, it was not fun.

• 20:15Speaker 02

  To lose power?

• 20:16Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, no. I mean, it did, we didn't lose power for a long time. It wasn't that bad.

• 20:21Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:21Speaker 02

  We went through the blackout. You remember the blackout?

• 20:24Speaker 01

  I.

• 20:24Speaker 02

  Would you go back on the time machine and go experience the blackout again?

• 20:27Speaker 01

  Why? It was.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  It's kinda fun.

• 20:29Speaker 01

  It was, I mean, from what I remember, I was actually in Connecticut for most of it.

• 20:32Speaker 02

  I wish I was older for that. So that my, like, cause I know my.

• 20:35Speaker 01

  Get into trouble?

• 20:36Speaker 02

  No, get into trouble. I, I, I'm saying I wish I was like 19.

• 20:40Speaker 01

  That would've been dangerful. Dangerous.

• 20:42Speaker 02

  Why?

• 20:43Speaker 01

  That's like a thing. Ruby says that, so I said that too.

• 20:45Speaker 02

  No, no, no. I'm saying, why would it be dangerous?

• 20:47Speaker 01

  Being a 19 year old in a blacked out New York City for a week? Dude, you would've, you, us, would've gotten into trouble.

• 20:57Speaker 02

  I think that would've been cool. We played like soccer or something, didn't we?

• 21:00Speaker 01

  I was, I was in Connecticut for most of the summer.

• 21:02Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 21:02Speaker 01

  But yeah, during the day, but like, bro, at night, remember there were like, I remember the, the small amount of time that I was here. There were like cops on every single corner because like, it was, bro, a story had no power for a week.

• 21:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. That was crazy.

• 21:16Speaker 01

  That shit was nuts.

• 21:17Speaker 02

  I was trying, I was taking like naps in the middle of the night. Naps, but like my dad would have the car on so that we could sleep with the AC. Cause it was hot as hell.

• 21:26Speaker 01

  Yeah. Oh, wow. I didn't even think of that.

• 21:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was so hot.

• 21:28Speaker 01

  That is crazy.

• 21:29Speaker 02

  I remember when I was sleeping in the middle of the night, then the lights came on. I was like, yes. I, I mean, remember everyone thought it was another terrorist attack.

• 21:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:37Speaker 02

  When was that?

• 21:38Speaker 01

  Two thousand five, I wanna say.

• 21:40Speaker 02

  Oh, so not that far away. Yeah, I would've, I would've been scared. I, this is such a weird thing that maybe has, it doesn't add to the story at all, but I remember hearing like a loud noise outside, which I don't know if that's like real or if I'm making that up now because it's been so far, so long since this thing, and Hey Arnold was on the TV and it was Helga Pataki and she was like confessing her love for Arnold or something and the TV shut off and I was like what the fuck? Like who turned the TV up? And then everything was off?

• 22:10Speaker 01

  Who interrupted my Hey Arnold?

• 22:11Speaker 02

  Who interrupted Hey Arnold? Great show.

• 22:14Speaker 01

  That was a pretty good show.

• 22:15Speaker 02

  Great show.

• 22:15Speaker 01

  Sick bedroom that kid had. Let me tell you, not many bedrooms I wanted to have that weren't mine.

• 22:23Speaker 01

  That was one of them, a hundred percent.

• 22:24Speaker 02

  You loved your bedroom that much?

• 22:26Speaker 01

  I liked my bedroom, yeah.

• 22:26Speaker 02

  Which one? Cause you've had three bedrooms.

• 22:29Speaker 01

  Uh, one, two, three. I actually had four in that house.

• 22:33Speaker 02

  So which was your fave?

• 22:34Speaker 01

  Uh, I mean, my fave was when I was older, like at high school and I had like my own little space.

• 22:39Speaker 02

  The basement?

• 22:39Speaker 01

  Yeah. It was fun.

• 22:41Speaker 02

  Go down to the right, you mean?

• 22:43Speaker 01

  To the right, yeah. I used to have the one to the left before that.

• 22:45Speaker 02

  Right, by the back door.

• 22:47Speaker 01

  Good time. I used to sleep with a knife under my pillow.

• 22:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 22:49Speaker 01

  Which people apparently think that's crazy.

• 22:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 22:53Speaker 01

  Nope.

• 22:54Speaker 02

  No one was breaking into your house, right?

• 22:55Speaker 01

  Uh, but we had a great time in, in Scotland. We went over to England. We had some proper, we had some fucking proper points, yeah, we did.

• 23:03Speaker 02

  Bangers and mash?

• 23:04Speaker 01

  Uh, I didn't have any bangers and mash.

• 23:07Speaker 02

  I had, I had some sort of banger. What's a banger?

• 23:10Speaker 01

  A banger is a sausage in your mouth, yeah.

• 23:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:12Speaker 01

  There was just bangers in your mouth? People were banging your mouth?

• 23:15Speaker 02

  I see what you're doing here.

• 23:16Speaker 01

  We saw, uh, we saw Buckingham Palace.

• 23:20Speaker 02

  Buckingham Palace, which was super okay.

• 23:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was alright.

• 23:23Speaker 02

  I was expecting more, to be honest. Big Ben blew me out of the water.

• 23:27Speaker 01

  Big Ben was huge.

• 23:28Speaker 02

  Big, uh, you listen, people talk about how big this thing is and they're right, but no one talks about the girth of it.

• 23:33Speaker 01

  No one talks about how wide and thick Big Ben is.

• 23:37Speaker 02

  Big Ben's a big thick Ben.

• 23:41Speaker 01

  Dude, I'm like, big guy.

• 23:43Speaker 02

  And...

• 23:44Speaker 01

  Shiny dude.

• 23:45Speaker 02

  Shiny. How do they keep it so clean?

• 23:48Speaker 01

  Bro, I don't know what is going on over there. It probably has a lot to do with like the crown and stuff like that.

• 23:54Speaker 02

  They're cleaning that clock.

• 23:55Speaker 01

  They're cleaning and polishing. All like the gold over there was like polished, brother. It was shiny as hell. And also.

• 24:04Speaker 02

  Oh, Big Ben.

• 24:05Speaker 01

  Big Ben.

• 24:06Speaker 02

  Big Benjamin.

• 24:07Speaker 01

  I will say, from a distance, you're like, that's just a big clock. You got up close to this thing and it's just like.

• 24:11Speaker 02

  That's a big clock!

• 24:12Speaker 01

  It's a big fat Ben.

• 24:14Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was a big old one.

• 24:15Speaker 01

  Oh my god, dude.

• 24:17Speaker 02

  The London Eye, saw it from afar.

• 24:19Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:20Speaker 02

  I get it, it's a circle.

• 24:21Speaker 01

  It's a circle.

• 24:22Speaker 02

  When you're looking at the London Eye, the best, the best part about the London Eye is that if you turn around, you could see.

• 24:28Speaker 01

  Big fucking Ben!

• 24:29Speaker 02

  Big Ben right there, being Big Ben right there.

• 24:32Speaker 01

  He's pretty big.

• 24:33Speaker 02

  That's the best part.

• 24:33Speaker 01

  He's pretty big, yeah.

• 24:34Speaker 02

  He's big.

• 24:35Speaker 01

  And there's also just like a lot of just old shit in that area.

• 24:38Speaker 02

  Spiky fences around Big Ben, you remember that?

• 24:40Speaker 01

  Big spiky fences.

• 24:42Speaker 02

  I'm like touching it, I'm like, dude, these are kill person.

• 24:44Speaker 01

  Well, because they were, they had to keep out intruders, just in case someone, someone wanted to scale Ben. But like, you touch it, bro, you fall on that thing, it's done.

• 24:52Speaker 02

  You legitimately, if you took someone and threw them on it, they'd be impaled.

• 24:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, dead.

• 24:58Speaker 02

  They gotta keep Ben safe.

• 25:00Speaker 01

  So maybe what they're doing is they're polishing the gold.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:03Speaker 01

  They're looking up at Big Ben.

• 25:05Speaker 02

  And they're like, whoa.

• 25:06Speaker 01

  And they're just like, keeping the, the, the.

• 25:10Speaker 02

  What are you doing?

• 25:10Speaker 01

  They're keeping the fence pointy.

• 25:12Speaker 02

  Yeah, they're, they're like sanding it down and stuff like that. And they're just like, no one's gonna get to our friend Ben. No one, no one's gonna do it. It's a very spiky fence and a very big Ben.

• 25:25Speaker 01

  They used to kill people by just like throwing them on spikes, right?

• 25:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:30Speaker 01

  That was crazy.

• 25:32Speaker 02

  Yeah. It's not, I, I wouldn't want that, that to happen.

• 25:36Speaker 01

  No way.

• 25:37Speaker 02

  I, I like touched the fence and I was like, oh, my finger. Can you imagine being impaled, bro?

• 25:41Speaker 01

  If you're falling from Big Ben, you're not living, dude.

• 25:44Speaker 02

  No way!

• 25:45Speaker 01

  You land on that, like maybe if you land in the water, because there's the, the, the River Thames right there.

• 25:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, but you.

• 25:51Speaker 01

  Maybe.

• 25:52Speaker 02

  No way, dude.

• 25:53Speaker 01

  But like, you land on one of those pointy fences, I gotta, I gotta be really honest with you.

• 25:57Speaker 02

  Be honest.

• 25:58Speaker 01

  Love a pointy fence.

• 26:00Speaker 02

  I do too.

• 26:00Speaker 01

  Like an iron, pointy fence.

• 26:02Speaker 02

  A dangerous fence.

• 26:04Speaker 01

  Our fucking elementary school and my high school had those.

• 26:09Speaker 02

  What? It had a pointy fence?

• 26:10Speaker 01

  Yeah, yours did too, right?

• 26:11Speaker 03

  Very, very pointy.

• 26:12Speaker 01

  A lot of, a lot of like, old schools in Queens have pointy iron fences, dude.

• 26:18Speaker 02

  I remember our fences, but I don't remember them being pointy.

• 26:22Speaker 01

  Hell yeah, they were pointy, brother. Do me a favor. Look up on Google Maps, our elementary school.

• 26:27Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 26:28Speaker 02

  What?

• 26:29Speaker 01

  Just to prove a point.

• 26:30Speaker 02

  I know what it looks like. Just saying, I just don't remember.

• 26:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, there were pointy fences up there.

• 26:35Speaker 02

  I do remember I pushed a kid named Damir, one of our friends, into a fence at a certain point. And they had little kind of spikes on them, and he chased me.

• 26:45Speaker 01

  Damir famously, by the way.

• 26:46Speaker 02

  Never got his paws on me.

• 26:48Speaker 01

  We, we, we said like, "Hey Damir, like, let's reconnect and talk." Message him, left on red, brother. Absolutely.

• 26:55Speaker 02

  Big bang boom. Yeah. I tell you what, you know who didn't get left on red? SeatGeek, okay? SeatGeek is where you're buying all your tickets, okay? You're going to a live event, you're gonna go see a team, an artist, a band, a monster truck rally, you can get your tickets with SeatGeek, okay? They have a wonderful interface where it's color-coded, so dark green means a really good price for that ticket. And then dark red, might want to stay away from that. That's an overpriced ticket right there. But I've been using SeatGeek for years now. It has over 28 million downloads. It's the number one rated ticketing app in the App Store. And there's over 70,000 events listed on SeatGeek, including concerts, sports, festivals, things like that.

  Which is important. A lot of people don't have access to a gym membership or any sort of workout equipment. If that's the case, they can still create a workout routine personalized for your goals. So if you want to put on some mass, you want to get stronger, or if you want to lose weight, or thin out, fat loss, whatever it is, they can create a workout routine personalized for your needs, which is important. The workouts adapt to your growth, so each workout is challenging enough to push you to make progress. They tell you when to rest, because rest is a very important part. A lot of people make the mistake of just working out every single day and putting themselves out. That is not the best way to put on muscle, or lose weight, or any of those things. So, rest is also important and things like that.

  That'll bring you right to the basement.

• 31:05Speaker 01

  Alright, I have a question for you. Did you have a, a, a, a, a, a, a proper English breakfast?

• 31:13Speaker 02

  Uh, while we were out there?

• 31:14Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 31:14Speaker 02

  No, but I did the last time I was there and it was great. Beans on toast dude is good. I said that.

• 31:20Speaker 01

  I had an English breakfast and an Irish breakfast. I think the only difference is like the whole like pudding situation.

• 31:26Speaker 02

  What kind, what, ones of black pudding?

• 31:28Speaker 01

  Ones, I think, well, I think they call it different things, like, I don't, I don't want to get into it and the Irish people will fuck me up. But like, white, there was also white pudding on the Irish breakfast.

• 31:39Speaker 02

  White pudding?

• 31:39Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like.

• 31:40Speaker 02

  Rice pudding?

• 31:41Speaker 01

  No, it's white, it's, so there's black pudding, which is like pig's blood and like stuff. And then white pudding, which is just like fat and like animal balls or some shit. And I gotta say.

• 31:53Speaker 02

  The balls were good?

• 31:55Speaker 01

  They were, not the balls, but like the, the puddings that were presented, the presented puddings were delicious.

• 32:00Speaker 02

  Yeah?

• 32:01Speaker 01

  I really liked them.

• 32:02Speaker 02

  They figured it out, dude.

• 32:04Speaker 01

  Love beans too. You know how I feel about beans.

• 32:06Speaker 02

  Dude, beans and toast is good. Why do people shit on it?

• 32:09Speaker 01

  Well, I think they shit on it because it's just like, it's such a strange combination, you know, like beans are, and, and I know we're speaking as filthy dumb, you know.

• 32:20Speaker 02

  I mean, if you put beans on a hot dog, that's bread and beans.

• 32:23Speaker 01

  But the hot dog is the star of that.

• 32:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:26Speaker 01

  Like the hot dog is the, the hot dog is the guardian of the galaxy. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not a side player in the movie.

• 32:33Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 32:34Speaker 01

  Like the beans on top are meant to accompany the hot dog, where the beans on toast, it's just like beans on toast.

• 32:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that's like a side. It's not like that's your full breakfast is beans on toast. Like.

• 32:47Speaker 01

  I mean, that's, that's, that's a, that's a, that's a big part of the breakfast, dude. Those are both very filling.

• 32:51Speaker 02

  I think everyone gets to shine though.

• 32:53Speaker 01

  I agree.

• 32:54Speaker 02

  They have like it all spread out.

• 32:56Speaker 01

  It is also just like a random, like assortment, like who in their right mind would have been like beans for breakfast?

• 33:05Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 33:05Speaker 01

  Again, I don't hate it.

• 33:07Speaker 02

  I like it.

• 33:07Speaker 01

  I love beans.

• 33:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:09Speaker 01

  But, just with everything else, it was just like, alright, this is a strange, and then there were bangers on there, there was puddings on there, eggs on there, you know?

• 33:18Speaker 02

  Eggs.

• 33:19Speaker 01

  How do you, was this your first fish and chips that you had, proper?

• 33:22Speaker 02

  Uh, no, but fish and chips is good. I don't know, what kind of fish is that? I don't even know.

• 33:26Speaker 01

  Cod, I think, right? And have you ever had fish and chips?

• 33:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't like it.

• 33:30Speaker 01

  I will say, the chips out there are better.

• 33:34Speaker 02

  I think so.

• 33:35Speaker 01

  Well, cause they're, our potato, everything of our food over here is trying to kill us.

• 33:39Speaker 02

  I wish I had a dollar for every time you said that while we were there.

• 33:43Speaker 01

  It's true.

• 33:43Speaker 02

  Frankie would eat everything and be like, this is so good, you know why? Cause there's poison in American food.

• 33:49Speaker 01

  I mean, there, there is, it lets.

• 33:50Speaker 02

  There is, and, and, yeah.

• 33:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, let's be honest.

• 33:52Speaker 02

  I'm being.

• 33:53Speaker 01

  Uh, but like, it just, everything was just better, and the Guinness.

• 33:57Speaker 02

  The Guinness was great.

• 33:58Speaker 01

  Guinness was.

• 33:59Speaker 02

  And we learned how to pour it.

• 34:00Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 34:00Speaker 02

  Split the G a few times.

• 34:02Speaker 01

  We didn't split the G a few times, Joe always split the G.

• 34:04Speaker 02

  You split the G.

• 34:05Speaker 01

  Once, but like, you, you were on a roll for a sec.

• 34:09Speaker 02

  I don't know if that's good or bad.

• 34:10Speaker 01

  It's probably great.

• 34:11Speaker 02

  And then we got an insight. We went to the Guinness factory, which was amazing. If you guys are ever out in Dublin, go to the Guinness factory, it's like Willy Wonka and the Guinness factory, basically.

• 34:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, it is.

• 34:20Speaker 02

  It's very colorful, there's screens, there's things moving.

• 34:23Speaker 01

  We walked into one room and I thought we were in Lumen, like, it was like, it was, it was white.

• 34:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, everything was white.

• 34:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 34:33Speaker 02

  Very white.

• 34:34Speaker 01

  Very white, and then there were just like, little things to smell. Remember that? There was like these pillars, yeah.

• 34:40Speaker 02

  And there was smoke pillowing out of them, and then you smell them, and it's like, that's yeast. And then, so, there was like, this is yeast, this is that, and then there was this other shit, and he's like, this is like, there was a word for it that I can't remember, but he's like.

• 34:54Speaker 01

  Barley.

• 34:54Speaker 02

  No, no, no, it was like.

• 34:55Speaker 01

  Hops.

• 34:56Speaker 02

  No, it was the thing that, uh, he, there's like, this is what the guys smelled like.

• 34:59Speaker 01

  Oh, the guys would come home, it was like the sweetened something, and they, they'd come home and they were like, sweet.

• 35:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, and like, oh, their wives loved them because they smelled like this. And then at the end of it, he was like, which one was your favorite scent? And I was like, the guys.

• 35:14Speaker 01

  I like the men.

• 35:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, and then we went, and then we had a Guinness, and then, and then they, they do your picture on the Guinness.

• 35:21Speaker 01

  Oh yeah, I forgot about that. They do your picture on the Guinness. I just gotta say this.

• 35:27Speaker 01

  We did have a competition on who had the better Guinness pour.

• 35:31Speaker 02

  Frank and...

• 35:32Speaker 01

  Mikey.

• 35:32Speaker 02

  Mikey?

• 35:32Speaker 01

  Mikey and I won.

• 35:33Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 35:34Speaker 01

  And, uh, I, I was fully ready to concede. I thought my pour looked like shit.

• 35:39Speaker 02

  The expert, though.

• 35:40Speaker 01

  The expert, he knows, but I also, like, before that, I was just like, "Say it's mine, please." I don't know if he actually listened, or if he, like, legitimately, you know, I guess he's been tampered with.

• 35:49Speaker 02

  There was a camera around, so he probably felt like he had to say that.

• 35:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, he might have been tampered with.

• 35:52Speaker 02

  You, you, tampered with him. Um, but yeah, no, the Guinness factory was a really good time. And then they have a bar on top of the factory.

• 36:01Speaker 01

  Oh yeah.

• 36:01Speaker 02

  It's like a panoramic view. Awesome.

• 36:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, it was really cool. I had like a moment, like, looking out and just being like, "I'm in Dublin."

• 36:09Speaker 02

  "We're Dublin."

• 36:10Speaker 01

  Yeah. I will say, just as a whole, pub culture out there is very different. Like, Americans, like, when, in America, when you drink, you drink to go. You know what I'm saying? Like, you drink to get drunk. Over there, it's like, very casual. Like, for lunch, they'll have a pint or two, and then go back to work and just be like, "Let's, let's do the rest of our day."

• 36:31Speaker 02

  I also just love how, maybe...

• 37:05Speaker 02

  I thought it was interesting that there was so many women also like outside the Irish pubs drinking beers. Because I feel like that's not something you really see.

• 37:12Speaker 01

  Yeah, because Americans were just like, "You're a lady? Here, I have this skinny little mini binty tini tibi beeny beeny for you."

• 37:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:19Speaker 01

  Where it's like, "Man, you want something? Drink this fucking beer."

• 37:23Speaker 02

  Yeah. But like, a- and also there's a lot of guys like out in suits and stuff in the middle of the day or, or whatever, and they're just outside. I'm like, "This is so awesome."

• 37:32Speaker 01

  It was like, i- i- it is crazy just like how not of a party atmosphere it was, you know what I mean? Like, "Bro, we were there, when we landed in London, it was like Monday afternoon."

• 37:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:43Speaker 01

  Pubs were filled. Like, and like not afternoon, like 4pm, like people might have gotten off work early.

• 37:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was like 2, 1.

• 37:49Speaker 01

  Yeah. And like, I- I'm not even talking filled, like, inside was filled. Inside was filled and then the street and across the street outside.

• 38:00Speaker 02

  That we need to bring.

• 38:02Speaker 01

  We do.

• 38:02Speaker 02

  Here, because we had it during Covid, but then it's gone, where it's like, you can go into a pub, get a pint, and then stand out on the sidewalk. And they, they, they make all the pubs with like a shelf, so you could put your beer right there.

• 38:13Speaker 01

  And not even just, not even ju- and not even just like immediately outside, like, remember that one we went to before the London show? People were across the street.

• 38:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:22Speaker 01

  Down the block on the corner, and then they bring their glasses back.

• 38:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:25Speaker 01

  This is, you know, Americans, we would've, we would've taken that shit so quick.

• 38:29Speaker 02

  Have you ever taken a glass from a, from a beer place?

• 38:32Speaker 01

  Uh...

• 38:33Speaker 02

  I'll tell you someone who has, my mother.

• 38:35Speaker 01

  Oh, I stole two of them, bro.

• 38:37Speaker 02

  I was like, "What the fuck are you doing?"

• 38:39Speaker 01

  I know an old white woman that also steals like glasses and wine glasses from bars. Like, it's just like a, not like often, but like has done it.

• 38:49Speaker 02

  Who?

• 38:49Speaker 01

  Becca's mom.

• 38:52Speaker 01

  Becca's mom, dude. Her mentality, she's done it, I think, like twice, and she's just like, "I paid for this, I'm taking it." And it's like, that's the wildest, most American-

• 39:01Speaker 02

  You, you paid for the thing in the cup.

• 39:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, my mom was like, "Oh, these are really nice," and it had like the brewery's, um, logo on it.

• 39:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:11Speaker 02

  I was like, taking one, I was like, taking two is insane.

• 39:14Speaker 01

  One, yeah, I think that's, I think after the second time, Becca's mom was just like, I probably shouldn't do that again.

• 39:19Speaker 02

  We walked outside, I'm just hearing, "Kling, cling." I'm like, what the fuck is that? You just steal glasses?

• 39:23Speaker 01

  People love taking stuff and just saying it's theirs. My dad, when we would go to Cracker Barrel, would steal, without exaggeration, every time, at least 12 or 13 of the mini bottles of the Cracker Barrel syrup.

• 39:38Speaker 02

  Syr- like, pancake syrup?

• 39:40Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:40Speaker 02

  What was he gonna do with that?

• 39:43Speaker 01

  Put it on pancakes, brother.

• 39:44Speaker 02

  Really?

• 39:45Speaker 01

  Have you ever been to a Cracker Barrel?

• 39:46Speaker 02

  I'll be honest with you, I've never been there, I don't know what it looks like, and I always get it confused with crate and barrel.

• 39:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's fair.

• 39:53Speaker 02

  I used to think that you would go buy furniture, but there was also food there, because of the way people talked about it.

• 39:58Speaker 01

  Well, that's Ikea, and it sounds great. You've been to a Cracker Barrel?

• 40:02Speaker 02

  Never.

• 40:02Speaker 01

  It's, it's like, it's called like, the, like, Cracker Barrel Old Country Mill. It's like, you know, like, southern style food, where it's just like, you know, grits, fried chicken, you know, chicken fried steak.

• 40:14Speaker 02

  Pulled pork?

• 40:16Speaker 01

  I don't know, I haven't been in quite a while. I don't think my body can physically handle going back.

• 40:20Speaker 02

  Is it like, fast food? Is it buffet?

• 40:22Speaker 01

  It's like IHOP. It's like a chain like IHOP, but like, not as bad as IHOP. But like, IHOP, you know what I mean?

• 40:30Speaker 02

  IHOP does pancakes well.

• 40:32Speaker 01

  No, they don't.

• 40:33Speaker 02

  They do.

• 40:33Speaker 01

  I won't say, I've never walked out of an IHOP and been like, "That was yummy." I've walked out and said like, "What is happening in my body could only be attributed to like, Robert Oppenheimer."

• 40:45Speaker 02

  There might be something going on with you. I think that pancakes are just pancakes.

• 40:49Speaker 01

  There definitely is something going on with them.

• 40:51Speaker 02

  You've had a pancake that tasted different than other pancakes?

• 40:53Speaker 01

  Of course I have!

• 40:54Speaker 02

  Pancakes taste the same.

• 40:54Speaker 01

  No, I've had better pancakes, better, like, whether they're buttermilk, or like, people do like, whole wheat pancakes.

• 40:59Speaker 02

  But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying like, just a pancake, a regular pancake.

• 41:02Speaker 01

  I've had, there is definitely a hierarchy to pancakes.

• 41:05Speaker 02

  Really? I've never felt a difference in pancakes. Would they look, the way they look, yeah.

• 41:11Speaker 01

  You definitely, then you're not having enough pancakes.

• 41:13Speaker 02

  I'm not having enough pancakes!

• 41:15Speaker 01

  So then, you need to up your pancake game. Because a good pancake and a bad pancake, there is like, a fucking... Kilometer difference between the two.

• 41:23Speaker 02

  Oh, I don't even know.

• 41:24Speaker 01

  But, I forgot what I was saying.

• 41:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, I did that. Crate and, uh, crack and?

• 41:29Speaker 01

  Cracker Barrel, cracker barrel.

• 41:30Speaker 02

  Cracker Barrel.

• 41:31Speaker 01

  But like, the front is like, you could get like, you know, like little, like little trinkets and stuff like that. Like, you could buy like a flamingo pot for your front porch, or you could buy like, old timey nineteen twenties bubble gum. Like, it's just weird. And then it's a restaurant in the back.

• 41:46Speaker 02

  They sell merch at this place?

• 41:47Speaker 01

  Yeah. And then like, in the back, it's like Hard Rock Cafe. In the back.

• 41:52Speaker 02

  I've also never been, you just gasped, and that was crazy.

• 41:55Speaker 01

  I've never been in a rock hard. It's like Rainforest Cafe.

• 41:59Speaker 02

  Rock Hard Cafe?

• 42:00Speaker 01

  Yeah. Hard Rock, brother.

• 42:05Speaker 01

  You've probably been to a Rock Hard Cafe.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  You might have been there. The Rock Hard Cafe.

• 42:10Speaker 01

  Maybe after you saw Big Ben, you went right to the Rock Hard.

• 42:13Speaker 02

  Honestly?

• 42:14Speaker 01

  Maybe. And you've been to, you've been through a rock, a Hard Rock.

• 42:18Speaker 02

  And I got you going.

• 42:18Speaker 01

  I almost went with Rock Hard too.

• 42:19Speaker 02

  I got you now.

• 42:20Speaker 01

  When we went to the Rehab Pool Party in, uh, in Vegas. Oh, you didn't went to Rehab Pool Party in Vegas?

• 42:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, I've also never been to Rehab.

• 42:29Speaker 01

  I know.

• 42:29Speaker 02

  But, yeah, no, I don't think so.

• 42:31Speaker 01

  But like, so Cracker Barrel's known for their maple syrup.

• 42:34Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 42:35Speaker 01

  And, we would go, we, so all the times we like drove down to the south to see my family, when my dad would drive us, we would stop at every Cracker Barrel on the way. Which, guess how many Cracker Barrels there are on the way to Jacksonville, Florida?

• 42:50Speaker 02

  Hundreds, probably.

• 42:52Speaker 01

  At least fifteen. And without exaggeration, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we would stop.

• 42:58Speaker 02

  At Cracker Barrel.

• 42:59Speaker 01

  Because my dad was obsessed. And he would get there, and he thought he was running like a Lufthansa Heist level fucking racket. Where he's going in, and they're like, he orders pancakes, and he's like, bring me five bottles of your syrup. You don't need to, you know, we know, we already know about my father's.

• 43:16Speaker 02

  Five bottles of syrup?

• 43:17Speaker 01

  We already know about my father's.

• 43:19Speaker 02

  They're like nips?

• 43:20Speaker 01

  They're nips. And then they would go. And he would, they would bring them and he'd put them in his like jacket. And my dad was wearing like Adidas tracksuits that had like the jacket, like the pocket in here was like mesh on the inside. So the fucking waiter or waitress would come, they'd drop the bottles and then my, my dad would put them in his pockets. And they'd come back and be like, how's everything doing? Everything okay? He's like, I never got my bottles of syrup. And they're like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. And they'd go and he'd do that another like time.

• 44:00Speaker 02

  Why does anyone need that much syrup?

• 44:03Speaker 01

  My father is clearly diabetic.

• 44:06Speaker 02

  That's so weird.

• 44:07Speaker 01

  And he would-

• 44:08Speaker 02

  Would he just drink them?

• 44:09Speaker 01

  No, he would put them on his pancakes.

• 44:12Speaker 02

  But like, why would you, but you're in the place where they have the syrup.

• 44:15Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 44:16Speaker 02

  Why would you need more?

• 44:17Speaker 01

  I don't know dude.

• 44:18Speaker 02

  And like, you don't have pancakes in your car.

• 44:20Speaker 01

  But then he would leave with them.

• 44:21Speaker 02

  Right.

• 44:22Speaker 01

  At his house, we would open his fridge and there was on the fridge door dozens of nips of Cracker Barrel syrup.

• 44:31Speaker 02

  That's so unnecessary.

• 44:33Speaker 01

  So stupid.

• 44:34Speaker 02

  How much money is he saving?

• 44:35Speaker 01

  And then next to it, he would have a regular sized jar of it that he would buy. So he would basically get a two for one special.

• 44:44Speaker 02

  How much money does he think he's saving by robbing these places of syrup?

• 44:49Speaker 01

  My father.

• 44:50Speaker 02

  Come on.

• 44:51Speaker 01

  It's unbelievable. We would walk out and he would be giddy.

• 44:55Speaker 02

  Got him again.

• 44:56Speaker 01

  Because he would think like-

• 44:58Speaker 02

  Get in the car, get in the fucking car.

• 45:00Speaker 01

  I pulled way over on them.

• 45:02Speaker 02

  And it rolled over his eyes.

• 45:04Speaker 01

  And his fucking pockets were so heavy with these glass bottles of maple syrup.

• 45:08Speaker 02

  They're glass?

• 45:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 45:11Speaker 01

  That the pocket would hang out the bottom like elastic of his fucking track jacket.

• 45:19Speaker 01

  This guy would think like, "I got him," and they would just be like, "All right, see you later." Like, they fucking clearly knew.

• 45:26Speaker 02

  That's so crazy.

• 45:27Speaker 01

  It was-

• 45:28Speaker 02

  Also, they're probably just like, "Dude, you're not..." Like, "We will give them to you if you want." They're free.

• 45:35Speaker 02

  Just ask them.

• 45:36Speaker 01

  Just ask, and we will give you this free maple syrup that we're offering. Aw, man.

• 45:42Speaker 02

  I've never been there, so I don't, I don't know.

• 45:44Speaker 01

  Save yourself the time.

• 45:46Speaker 02

  I love syrup, though, dude.

• 45:47Speaker 01

  I know, I do too.

• 45:49Speaker 02

  If you had a bowl, like a regular bowl, right, of like, a cereal bowl, but it was filled with syrup, and you had a straw, how long has it taken you to finish it?

• 45:59Speaker 01

  Oh, I'm dying before I finish that bowl, dude.

• 46:02Speaker 02

  Let's say-

• 46:03Speaker 01

  Let's say there's no health repercussions? No health repercussions on-

• 46:07Speaker 02

  It's still very sweet.

• 46:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, I put like, real maple syrup sweet and like, you know, fake, you know, like, old county mill or whatever it's called.

• 46:17Speaker 02

  Oh, pearl milling.

• 46:19Speaker 01

  Something like that. That is like, I can't have that, but like, real maple syrup? I could probably get a cup or two down.

• 46:28Speaker 02

  That's so crazy.

• 46:29Speaker 01

  I mean, I'd hate myself immediately afterward.

• 46:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You ever see videos of people just like, chugging like a bottle of-

• 46:34Speaker 01

  Well, that's what I, a bowl of maple syrup is what is in my morning routine now.

• 46:40Speaker 02

  What?

• 46:41Speaker 01

  I shove my face into a bowl of maple syrup.

• 46:43Speaker 02

  Oh, I see what you're doing. I was like, "What are you talking about?"

• 46:48Speaker 01

  TheBasementYard.com slash TheBasementYard.

• 46:52Speaker 02

  Don't forget to go to TheBasementYard.com.

• 46:54Speaker 01

  Well, everyone, everyone is talking about this whole morning routine. Ashton-

• 46:59Speaker 02

  Hall?

• 47:00Speaker 01

  Hall. Thank God I wasn't gonna say what I thought the real last name was.

• 47:03Speaker 02

  Kutcher?

• 47:04Speaker 01

  No, I was going Tate.

• 47:07Speaker 01

  Ashton Hall, it's been everywhere. We haven't gotten a chance to talk about it because we were in Europe.

• 47:12Speaker 02

  Oh, damn, I doubt it.

• 47:13Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 47:15Speaker 01

  Released his morning routine, and-

• 47:17Speaker 02

  Well, he's been doing it. I've seen this guy. Josh always sends me his videos.

• 47:20Speaker 01

  Why? I mean, first of all, guy is shredded-

• 47:23Speaker 02

  Yoked up!

• 47:24Speaker 01

  Shredded like a bag of mozzarella.

• 47:29Speaker 02

  Guys shredded huge like Big Ben. Bringing that back. He wa- he wakes up, he tapes his mouth.

• 47:37Speaker 01

  So-

• 47:38Speaker 02

  Have you done that?

• 47:39Speaker 01

  No, I have not.

• 47:40Speaker 02

  Have you done anything with sleep before, like a mask or?

• 47:43Speaker 01

  I mean, I've had to do for, there was like a summer where like my snoring was bad, so I had a mouthpiece.

• 47:48Speaker 02

  Summer?

• 47:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, honestly, and then it just stopped.

• 47:50Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 47:51Speaker 01

  And I had a mouthpiece, um, but like all these like

• 47:56Speaker 01

  get slim quick schemes of like sleeping with tape over your mouth or something like that.

• 48:01Speaker 02

  Bro, there's, there's this thing on TikTok where people have like, it's the TikTok shop, so they make a video and they talk about a product and if they, if people buy through their link-

• 48:09Speaker 01

  And you click it, yeah.

• 48:10Speaker 02

  They make money. So people just make up the wildest stories and there was one I saw where it was like they picked a random celebrity and it may have been, it probably wasn't Tom Hardy, but like they'll do, they'll be like, Tom Hardy is saying that people are getting uglier. And this is why.

• 48:29Speaker 01

  Wait, hold on.

• 48:30Speaker 02

  And then it's like, if you tape your mouth, then your jaw, like they'll show people like a before and after where they're like this. And then the next photo, they like, they use tape, like this is just after two weeks. And they're like a hundred pounds lighter.

• 48:46Speaker 01

  Do we know for sure if Tom Hardy is calling people ugly?

• 48:50Speaker 02

  No, we don't.

• 48:51Speaker 01

  So how do you know that this marketing technique is not based off truth, Joey?

• 48:57Speaker 02

  Because the whole thing is a fallacy, that's why. I'd be afraid to sleep with the-

• 49:03Speaker 01

  Tom Holland's out here and says, "All you guys are fat pigs."

• 49:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, but like-

• 49:07Speaker 01

  I spoke to Jimmy Kimmel last week and he said, "Everyone is disgusting as hell."

• 49:12Speaker 02

  Have you ever worn one of those nose straps?

• 49:14Speaker 01

  Uh, when I was younger, like the, the sticky ones, but not the magnetic ones.

• 49:19Speaker 02

  Those are amazing.

• 49:20Speaker 01

  They just like, didn't you say you wore one and you could like smell the earth or something?

• 49:24Speaker 02

  Bro, I, I've literally, I, I've never had the most-

• 49:31Speaker 02

  I've never had the most, uh-

• 49:35Speaker 02

  I've never had that much oxygen. Why is it so hard for me to say?

• 49:40Speaker 01

  It still fucked it up.

• 49:42Speaker 02

  My neck feels weird.

• 49:42Speaker 01

  You've never had that much oxygen.

• 49:44Speaker 02

  See, you gotta pause.

• 49:45Speaker 01

  Much oxygen, much oxygen, much oxygen, much oxygen.

• 49:49Speaker 02

  I've never had that much oxygen.

• 49:51Speaker 01

  There you go.

• 49:51Speaker 02

  There we go. Um, in my nose. Like, I had like, uh, there's like a bendy thing in this thing and it sticks to your nose and it opens up your nostrils like this.

• 50:00Speaker 01

  Yeah, but like, I don't, like, you don't get that thing where like, when your nostrils too clea- your nostrils are too like, unobstructed that like-

• 50:06Speaker 02

  And it gets cold?

• 50:06Speaker 01

  It gets cold up there!

• 50:07Speaker 02

  Yeah!

• 50:08Speaker 01

  And it's freezing! And I want warmth back in my nose!

• 50:11Speaker 02

  I agree, but I- it's not like that. Cause it only opens up like, this part. It doesn't open up like, your sinus.

• 50:17Speaker 01

  Sinuses, yeah.

• 50:18Speaker 02

  So it like, you know, but I- I like it a lot to have that.

• 50:22Speaker 01

  Well, yeah, so I- he's taping his mouth, he's waking up.

• 50:24Speaker 02

  Waking up at like, 3:21 a.m.

• 50:27Speaker 01

  Listen, I don't know Ashton at all. I think he's a former NFL player, if that's not mistaken.

• 50:35Speaker 02

  I have no idea.

• 50:35Speaker 01

  I know that there's a lot of discipline that comes with being a professional athlete. If you don't need to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning, don't wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning.

• 50:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:45Speaker 01

  And if you do, shut up about it.

• 50:48Speaker 02

  4 a.m. wakeups?

• 50:50Speaker 01

  Just like, the only people that tell you that they wake up early are the people that wake up early. You know what I- like, that's not what I meant.

• 50:56Speaker 02

  How?

• 50:59Speaker 01

  That's not what I meant.

• 51:00Speaker 02

  The only people- At thebasemyard.com slash thebasemyard.

• 51:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, at thebasemyard, yeah, oxygen. Um, the only people that like-

• 51:10Speaker 01

  I'm just gonna stop.

• 51:11Speaker 02

  This should be good, because I feel like you were gonna repeat the same thing. What you're trying to say is people who wake up-

• 51:16Speaker 01

  The only people that talk about waking up early are like, the people that do it for no reason. You know what I mean? It was just like, "I get up every day at 4 a.m. now." And it's just like, way to go.

• 51:26Speaker 02

  Way to fucking go, but like- 4 a.m. is a little early. He also says he goes to sleep at like, 8 p.m.

• 51:32Speaker 01

  Crazy.

• 51:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's just kinda wild.

• 51:34Speaker 01

  That's what I was gonna say. The same people that say that usually go to sleep at 6:30 p.m. Like Mark-

• 51:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, Mark Wahlberg's another one. He's like, "I'm up at 3:10, getting it." And he's just like, doing pull-ups.

• 51:43Speaker 01

  Bro, he wakes up that early to just pray.

• 51:45Speaker 02

  He does have some prayer-

• 51:46Speaker 01

  He stays prayed up, as he says.

• 51:47Speaker 02

  Stay prayed up?

• 51:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, he goes to stay- there's a video of him praying in his house and he turns around and he's like- Stay prayed up. It's like, come on, Mark.

• 51:59Speaker 02

  Dude, it's 4am, no one's watching.

• 52:00Speaker 01

  I mean, it's better than what he used to do back in his old days. There was some stuff there.

• 52:06Speaker 01

  There was some stuff.

• 52:07Speaker 02

  Jesus Christ. Yeah, I don't know. But anyway, this guy wakes up, he does the face cold plunge thing. I've never done it.

• 52:16Speaker 01

  Okay, and it's with, uh, Saratoga water?

• 52:19Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:20Speaker 01

  Have you ever had Saratoga water?

• 52:21Speaker 02

  No, I've never heard of it until these videos.

• 52:23Speaker 01

  Oh, I've had it.

• 52:24Speaker 02

  Which, if I'm this dude-

• 52:25Speaker 01

  It's expensive water.

• 52:27Speaker 02

  If I'm this dude, I need millions.

• 52:30Speaker 01

  I mean, I can imagine off of this video alone, this guy got-

• 52:33Speaker 02

  If some, some company has to be coming in being like, yo, use our water, we'll pay you this much. And it would be worth it for them.

• 52:39Speaker 01

  I mean, I think I saw something that was just like Saratoga water, their, their, their sales skyrocketed after this.

• 52:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:46Speaker 01

  Hey.

• 52:46Speaker 02

  Everyone, I mean, all the people parroting, par-

• 52:50Speaker 01

  Parrotying.

• 52:51Speaker 02

  Parrotying. All the people parroting.

• 52:57Speaker 01

  All the people doing a parody of this bought Saratoga-

• 53:00Speaker 02

  All the people doing a parody of these videos bought a lot of Saratoga water in it, so my god.

• 53:05Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's tough.

• 53:06Speaker 02

  Um, but yeah, so he wakes up and he goes to the pool and he just like, and then he just does sprint workouts and he's just sprinting. But he also has like a bodyguard? That he has with him?

• 53:18Speaker 01

  God damn, bro, if I- This guy is yoked with a capital whoa.

• 53:27Speaker 02

  Whoa, dude. We just found out Frankie's type.

• 53:30Speaker 01

  No. No, I mean dude, look at this guy. I mean, clearly whatever he is doing is working. There is a level of discipline that comes with that morning routine, like, he's also probably eating only like kale. You know what I mean? Like-

• 53:45Speaker 02

  He, uh-

• 53:46Speaker 01

  I just don't get the whole like- Oh, banana.

• 53:49Speaker 02

  And the banana thing at 8:43 in the morning-

• 53:51Speaker 01

  Doesn't he rub his face with it?

• 53:52Speaker 02

  He rubs his face with the banana peel, which I don't know-

• 53:55Speaker 01

  Why?

• 53:55Speaker 02

  What's the science behind that?

• 53:57Speaker 01

  Oh, no. Is it, is this being marketed as like an alpha male thing? Have the alpha males taken this again?

• 54:02Speaker 02

  No, I don't think so. I think it's just this dude doing his morning routine and like it's just like that like.

• 54:09Speaker 01

  I, is there-

• 54:10Speaker 02

  It's like ASMR too.

• 54:11Speaker 01

  Is there science behind the rubbing of the banana peel?

• 54:15Speaker 02

  None that I'm aware of. I, I didn't look into it. I don't know.

• 54:17Speaker 01

  Because honestly, the cold water in the face thing, that's just a, that's, that's an ice plunge. That's just an ice bath, but just for your face to tighten up your skin.

• 54:27Speaker 02

  Right.

• 54:27Speaker 01

  You know, but like-

• 54:28Speaker 02

  See, I didn't even know that.

• 54:30Speaker 01

  Oh yeah, well that's what, that's what the cold water does. Hot water, oh, here we go. So apparently rubbing banana peels on face, it creates glowing skin, reduces wrinkles, acts as a moisturizer, hydrates the skin, uh, helps in collagen production, treats acne, treats sun damage and reduces under eye dark sar. Also, by the way, what website is this from?

• 54:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, this is just a photo or something. I'm good on rubbing a banana on my face.

• 54:54Speaker 01

  I mean, if it were to like, help?

• 54:59Speaker 02

  It is said to tighten sagging skin, brighten complexion and reduce wrinkles.

• 55:06Speaker 01

  I mean, it's not impossible.

• 55:07Speaker 02

  I don't think it's impossible. I don't think that rubbing your, a banana on your face like does nothing. I just wouldn't want to smell like a banana all day.

• 55:14Speaker 01

  Uh, I mean, I imagine, because doesn't he do this and then he goes and like works out and then showers and stuff and has a day?

• 55:20Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, maybe.

• 55:21Speaker 01

  So like, it's not like he's just like, before I leave, you know, rubbing a banana peel on his face.

• 55:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 55:27Speaker 01

  I, here's my thing.

• 55:28Speaker 02

  Mm-hmm.

• 55:29Speaker 01

  Clearly it's working for this guy. Good for him.

• 55:32Speaker 02

  Would you ever get Botox?

• 55:33Speaker 01

  No. Because society has not placed a standard on, on me as a man to get Botox. Because aging as a man is different from the aging as a woman.

• 55:44Speaker 02

  What is the, what is the aging as a woman thing have to do with what you just said?

• 55:47Speaker 01

  Well, because like there's more pressures on women. I feel, I have, I am blessed. My, my male privilege has provided me with the opportunity to not feel a, a, a, a societal pressure in order to get Botox.

• 56:01Speaker 02

  No, I'm saying would you get it?

• 56:02Speaker 01

  No, I don't want to.

• 56:04Speaker 02

  Now I'm asking how those things are related.

• 56:06Speaker 01

  I, I was making a point. I was, yeah, I was on my soapbox, babe. I, I, I, yeah, I know you're up there. No, but like seriously, like I, I don't, I don't want to, but also there is because there is less pressure on me as a man to age.

• 56:20Speaker 02

  Uh-huh.

• 56:20Speaker 01

  So like that is a real, that is a real thing.

• 56:25Speaker 02

  I don't even, but I'm like, I'm legitimately confused by like what you're saying.

• 56:29Speaker 01

  What is confusing about what I'm saying?

• 56:30Speaker 02

  You're saying no, but your reasoning is like...

• 56:32Speaker 01

  No, because I don't want to.

• 56:34Speaker 02

  Right.

• 56:34Speaker 01

  Because I don't feel the pressure to have to look younger.

• 56:37Speaker 02

  Oh, oh, that's what you're saying. I was like, I don't know what you're saying.

• 56:40Speaker 01

  How are you not, two and two, two and two, brother, two, two, two, four.

• 56:43Speaker 02

  Frank, I asked you if you wanted Botox and you started talking about women.

• 56:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, because of the societal standard and shit like that.

• 56:49Speaker 02

  I'm not even talking about that, I'm asking you.

• 56:51Speaker 01

  My reasoning is because I don't feel pressure! And I don't want to!

• 56:55Speaker 02

  That I'm understanding, but when you started being like, well, there's pressure on women, and I'm like... Dear man.

• 57:00Speaker 01

  You saw how high I got up there, my voice?

• 57:01Speaker 02

  That was actually impressive, honestly, you sounded like Elmo.

• 57:03Speaker 01

  I'm just, here's the thing. What if we get to, if we get to 50,000 patrons, will you get lip injections?

• 57:09Speaker 02

  No way.

• 57:09Speaker 01

  What about a BBL?

• 57:11Speaker 02

  A BBL?

• 57:12Speaker 01

  Will you get a BBL?

• 57:13Speaker 02

  Absolutely not. Also, I heard that's a dangerous procedure. People have died.

• 57:17Speaker 01

  Really?

• 57:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:18Speaker 01

  Alright, what about this?

• 57:22Speaker 02

  You know, people get Botox in their pits, so they don't sweat. Would you do that?

• 57:26Speaker 01

  No, because I don't really sweat much.

• 57:27Speaker 02

  Me neither.

• 57:27Speaker 01

  I'm not a big sweat man.

• 57:29Speaker 02

  I think if I had a big issue, I would do it.

• 57:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, I know people, well, you, you don't sweat much?

• 57:34Speaker 02

  No, no, my pits. My pits don't sweat. My head sweats like crazy.

• 57:36Speaker 01

  Can you get Botox on your head to stop?

• 57:39Speaker 02

  See? I don't know. I would be afraid to like not have a moving head. You know?

• 57:46Speaker 01

  I knew, I knew a boy that got Botox and like, he literally was just like, "Hey."

• 57:54Speaker 01

  Just like that.

• 57:55Speaker 02

  Hey.

• 57:56Speaker 01

  If you found out, like, if there was like legit signs to come out, there's like, yo, by the way, this banana peel thing is legit. You gonna start?

• 58:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, why not? I, I eat bananas pretty regularly, so I'm right there.

• 58:09Speaker 01

  So you just eat the banana and then just, just kinda?

• 58:11Speaker 02

  Bing, bing, bing. But I do like moisturizing.

• 58:13Speaker 01

  I don't like the feel that bananas leave on your hand. It's like this. You know what I'm talking about? It's like...

• 58:19Speaker 02

  It's, it's a little...

• 58:20Speaker 01

  It's a little like slippery, but like...

• 58:22Speaker 02

  Graney, too.

• 58:22Speaker 01

  It stops.

• 58:25Speaker 02

  I don't know that I've had, I don't know what you mean by that.

• 58:27Speaker 01

  You know what I'm talking about, where like, your hand like kinda like starts to glide, but like, it's like...

• 58:34Speaker 02

  You know what I'm saying?

• 58:35Speaker 03

  I do.

• 58:36Speaker 02

  Thank you, Ann.

• 58:36Speaker 03

• 1:01:44Speaker 01

  Boom. So what I was gonna say before, the thing that pisses me off about this, because it's clearly working for him, good for him, is now like, all the companies that are like, posting images and videos of their morning routine, like McDonald's, it was like a bowl of McDonald's Sprite. And like, they're... Just like, it's just like, it's...

• 1:02:05Speaker 02

  What would happen if you stuck your face into a bowl of McDonald's Sprite?

• 1:02:08Speaker 01

  I'm coming out looking like a fucking skeleton, like Creepshow.

• 1:02:13Speaker 02

  I feel like my hair on my face would turn orange.

• 1:02:15Speaker 01

  Do you think you could really tell the difference between McDonald's drinks and non-McDonald's drinks?

• 1:02:20Speaker 02

  Absolutely not.

• 1:02:21Speaker 01

  Oh, okay, I thought you were gonna say yes. You?

• 1:02:23Speaker 02

  No way.

• 1:02:25Speaker 03

  Any other drink, probably not.

• 1:02:26Speaker 01

  No, no, but like, a regular Coca-Cola and a fountain McDonald's Coca-Cola.

• 1:02:30Speaker 02

  Fountain's different. Don't they also, they put like water in it, oh my crazy?

• 1:02:34Speaker 01

  Well, yeah, because you'll see, like, the fountain, they'll do like, half of it will be like the syrup, and the other half will be just seltzer.

• 1:02:41Speaker 02

  Is that what that is?

• 1:02:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, if you look, if you look really closely, that's why on um...

• 1:02:45Speaker 02

  I've seen a video of someone like separating them.

• 1:02:47Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, basically. Um, that's why, like, also on a lot of soda machines, they have a button that's just seltzer water.

• 1:02:53Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:02:54Speaker 01

  You know, which, crazy. I gotta tell you, one of the greatest inventions of the 21st modern century has been that big machine that has like hundreds of sodas in it.

• 1:03:04Speaker 02

  Oh, the digital one?

• 1:03:05Speaker 01

  Where you're just like, "I want Coke," and there's 80 different types of Coke, and it's just, but like, who's, who's having like peach Coca-Cola? You know what I'm saying?

• 1:03:13Speaker 02

  Is that a flavor?

• 1:03:14Speaker 01

  I, it's gotta be up there.

• 1:03:16Speaker 02

  Oh, true.

• 1:03:16Speaker 01

  They, they, they have a bunch of those. You ever like, were you a vanilla Coke guy?

• 1:03:20Speaker 03

  Oh god, so good.

• 1:03:21Speaker 01

  Ugh!

• 1:03:22Speaker 02

  Vanilla Coke?

• 1:03:22Speaker 03

  It's really good.

• 1:03:23Speaker 01

  Disgusting, dude.

• 1:03:24Speaker 02

  Oh, I think I've had vanilla Coke. What are the other Cokes that's been out?

• 1:03:28Speaker 01

  There was like Coke Twist.

• 1:03:29Speaker 02

  Black Cherry Coke.

• 1:03:30Speaker 01

  Pepsi Twist. Black Cherry Coke is the best.

• 1:03:32Speaker 02

  Black Cherry Coke is good!

• 1:03:34Speaker 01

  It's basically just Dr. Pepper. There was like lime or lemon, um, let's see. Oh, we're at the, oh, we're at the official Coca-Cola website. Cherry Coke, yeah.

• 1:03:44Speaker 02

  I, I don't think I've ever had that.

• 1:03:46Speaker 01

  Coke vanilla, disgusting, get it out, I'll kill someone. Zero sugar, come on, that's it?

• 1:03:51Speaker 03

  What the hell?

• 1:03:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:03:52Speaker 01

  No, there's way more than that, dude.

• 1:03:53Speaker 03

  I could look up the big magic machine.

• 1:03:55Speaker 01

  Yeah, look up the big magic machine, um, but like, I, I was just a classic Coca-Cola guy. When they started throwing like lemon and like fucking, you know, stuff in there.

• 1:04:04Speaker 02

  You know what I hate? With the Tostitos chips that have like a lime zest? Gross.

• 1:04:10Speaker 01

  You know what's the grossest chip I've ever had? They used to make, they were like guacamole flavored ones.

• 1:04:17Speaker 02

  Tostitos?

• 1:04:17Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:04:18Speaker 02

  They made a guacamole chip?

• 1:04:19Speaker 01

  Ugh, they were disgusting. Look at all those sodas, dude.

• 1:04:23Speaker 02

  Pib.

• 1:04:25Speaker 01

  Pib is just...

• 1:04:26Speaker 02

  That's, isn't that...

• 1:04:26Speaker 01

  So we have, okay, so cream soda Coca-Cola, Joey probably fucking cum in his pants for that.

• 1:04:31Speaker 02

  Oh, there is a peach!

• 1:04:32Speaker 01

  I told you there's a peach!

• 1:04:33Speaker 02

  What is Tropical Coke?

• 1:04:34Speaker 01

  What is Tropical Coke?

• 1:04:35Speaker 02

  Alright, they're not even trying to hide it, they're trying to kill us.

• 1:04:38Speaker 01

  Orange Coca-Cola?

• 1:04:40Speaker 01

  Is it orange soda?

• 1:04:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, what are we doing here?

• 1:04:43Speaker 01

  Why not just go with the classic Fanta? Or what was the other one?

• 1:04:47Speaker 02

  Crush.

• 1:04:48Speaker 01

  Crush, dude. Slice, remember Slice?

• 1:04:50Speaker 02

  Slice!

• 1:04:51Speaker 01

  Slice was a good one.

• 1:04:52Speaker 02

  I liked Slice better.

• 1:04:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't know. So, alright, go back. Alright, you're, go back again.

• 1:04:58Speaker 02

  I hate soda.

• 1:04:59Speaker 01

  One more fucking time.

• 1:05:00Speaker 02

  I'm trying.

• 1:05:01Speaker 01

  Alright, so Joey, you're going to the movies. Cause this is where I've seen this most recently. I haven't seen this at like a restaurant or anything. You're going to the movies. First of all.

• 1:05:11Speaker 02

  I'm not getting soda.

• 1:05:12Speaker 01

  Give me, can you just for fucking, fucking two seconds, play around?

• 1:05:16Speaker 02

  What I'm telling you is that-

• 1:05:17Speaker 01

  Play around, Joey!

• 1:05:18Speaker 02

  What I'm telling you is that-

• 1:05:19Speaker 01

  Fuck!

• 1:05:20Speaker 02

  I'm getting a slushy.

• 1:05:22Speaker 01

  Disgusting.

• 1:05:23Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:05:24Speaker 01

  Cause those are the airy slushies. Those aren't the good ones. You want the, you want the, the slush puppy.

• 1:05:28Speaker 02

  You gotta let it melt a little bit before you go crazy.

• 1:05:30Speaker 01

  You want the slush puppy. You don't want the slushy icy ones.

• 1:05:32Speaker 02

  No, I don't, I don't mind that. You gotta let it, you gotta let it, uh-

• 1:05:35Speaker 01

  Nah, I don't know.

• 1:05:36Speaker 02

  Whatever.

• 1:05:36Speaker 01

  Alright, so you can't get that because the machine is broken and I would shoot you in the back of the head.

• 1:05:42Speaker 02

  Which one of these am I getting?

• 1:05:43Speaker 01

  So, you order, first of all, you go to the front, you get a, you get pretzel nuggets.

• 1:05:48Speaker 02

  Duh.

• 1:05:49Speaker 01

  And you get a popcorn. And no one knew you'll get like

• 1:05:54Speaker 01

  snowcaps or something.

• 1:05:55Speaker 02

  Snowcaps? What, am I already dead? My grandma loved those.

• 1:05:59Speaker 01

  Alright, you'll get, you'll get, uh, uh-

• 1:06:02Speaker 02

  Cookie dough bites.

• 1:06:02Speaker 01

  Cookie dough bites.

• 1:06:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:04Speaker 01

  Or you'll get-

• 1:06:04Speaker 02

  Or Miken eggs.

• 1:06:05Speaker 01

  Or, or Miken eggs, or peanut M&Ms.

• 1:06:07Speaker 02

  Ooh.

  Alright.

• 1:06:09Speaker 02

  Sorry, honestly.

• 1:06:10Speaker 01

  So now you have all, you have your salty, you have your sweet.

• 1:06:13Speaker 02

  Now I need a drink.

• 1:06:14Speaker 01

  What are you getting for soda? You're going to this machine, you gotta press one of these machines.

• 1:06:17Speaker 02

  Let me see, scroll down a little bit. What do we got here?

• 1:06:19Speaker 01

  I'm going Coca-Cola.

• 1:06:20Speaker 02

  What the fuck is mellow yellow?

• 1:06:22Speaker 01

  They call me mellow yellow. It's basically Doc, uh, Mountain Dew.

• 1:06:25Speaker 02

  Minute made lemonade? The ice pops are good.

• 1:06:29Speaker 01

  Yo, Minute made lemonade is more sugar than I think sugar is sugar. Does that make sense? I've never tasted something so sweet. Uh, I think, alright, I'm gonna guess, honestly-

• 1:06:40Speaker 02

  You already know what I'm gonna get.

• 1:06:41Speaker 01

  I'm gonna guess here.

• 1:06:42Speaker 02

  This is easy, Frank.

• 1:06:42Speaker 01

  I'm gonna guess here.

• 1:06:43Speaker 02

  It's easy.

• 1:06:44Speaker 01

  I'm gonna give three answers.

• 1:06:46Speaker 02

  There's only one and you know it.

• 1:06:48Speaker 01

  Scroll down then, please. I'm gonna say it's going to be, you said you're not getting soda?

• 1:06:54Speaker 02

  No, I mean if you're making me get soda, I'll get soda.

• 1:06:55Speaker 01

  I'm making you get soda. Scroll up. I think Joey is going with a Barks.

• 1:07:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, I am.

• 1:07:02Speaker 01

  I knew it!

• 1:07:03Speaker 02

  I'm getting that root beer.

• 1:07:04Speaker 01

  He's getting that Barks root beer. Scroll up, I said. Now.

• 1:07:07Speaker 02

  Oh. It just, you just wanna look at the logo? Yeah, I'm getting a root beer.

• 1:07:11Speaker 01

  But they have like different flavor, like vanilla, root beer?

• 1:07:13Speaker 02

  I'm getting like classic root beer.

• 1:07:16Speaker 01

  If I'm going, if I'm not going with Coca-Cola, and I decide to be a little playful and fun and naughty, what one you think am I going with?

• 1:07:25Speaker 02

  Naughty?

• 1:07:27Speaker 02

  Uh, scroll down?

• 1:07:29Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 1:07:31Speaker 02

  Would you, would you get a Dr. Pepper?

• 1:07:34Speaker 01

  Hmm, I'm not a giant Dr. Pepper guy.

• 1:07:38Speaker 02

  It's not naughty enough, I'll be honest.

• 1:07:39Speaker 01

  Not naughty enough for me. I need something filthy.

• 1:07:41Speaker 02

  Oh, you'd get a Hi-C.

• 1:07:43Speaker 01

  I might.

• 1:07:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, you would.

• 1:07:45Speaker 01

  I might get a Hi-C.

• 1:07:45Speaker 02

  I've watched you get a Hi-C.

• 1:07:46Speaker 01

  A fruit punch, baby! That straight red forty into my veins.

• 1:07:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:07:51Speaker 01

  What the hell is pineapple Hi-C?

• 1:07:54Speaker 02

  I don't know, but that sounds delicious. I love pineapple stuff.

• 1:07:56Speaker 01

  I will say this.

• 1:07:57Speaker 02

  I don't like pineapples.

• 1:07:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, vanilla Hi-C is crazy.

• 1:08:01Speaker 02

  That's disgusting.

• 1:08:01Speaker 01

  Oh, I love pineapples.

• 1:08:03Speaker 02

  I don't, I don't like love them, but I love pineapple flavored things.

• 1:08:07Speaker 01

  See, that's so funny you say that, because that's how I am with bananas. I love bananas, I don't like banana flavored things, at all.

• 1:08:14Speaker 02

  Hmm, me too.

• 1:08:14Speaker 01

  Same with orange. Actually, orange is the exception. I love oranges, and I often like orange flavored things, but like, or green apples. Oh, man. You get me going. I love a good green apple, a nice little tart, you know, and crisp and refreshing, but the moment you have green apple flavored something, I'm gonna take my head and I'm gonna put it into a lawnmower, and I'm gonna have it going full speed.

• 1:08:38Speaker 02

  You hate green apple. I know that you absolutely hate that.

• 1:08:41Speaker 01

  Well, like, the flavoring is just like, it's not actual gleep. Peep? It's not actual... It's not actual gleep.

• 1:08:50Speaker 02

  Peep!

• 1:08:53Speaker 01

  It's not actual green apple flavor, it's just sour, that's it. I just don't like it, but uh, hmm, yeah, I think, I think you're right, I think I'm going high sea, high seafood punch.

• 1:09:06Speaker 02

  I've gotten a high sea at like a subway before.

• 1:09:09Speaker 01

  Eat fresh.

• 1:09:12Speaker 01

  I do like Sprite a lot.

• 1:09:14Speaker 02

  I haven't had a Sprite.

• 1:09:15Speaker 01

  Strawberry Sprite probably fucking kills me.

• 1:09:17Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:09:17Speaker 01

  What is lemonade Sprite?

• 1:09:18Speaker 02

  Strawberry shit is so good.

• 1:09:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, but it's not, again, this is America. None of this is actual strawberry flavoring, it's just chemicals, it's like made of like...

• 1:09:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude, duh.

• 1:09:29Speaker 01

  But like you go to other, bro, did you ever see, when we were in London, we stopped at like a convenience store? Have you ever seen what like? Real bottled lemonade looks like and what American bottled lemonade looks like?

• 1:09:41Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:09:42Speaker 01

  Dude, look up in like London bottled lemonade or any other country. Bro, ours is like yellow or like opaque. And theirs is like clear because that's, that's what it is, like it is, it is, ours is just sugar water.

• 1:09:58Speaker 02

  Lemonade? And like they're selling lemon water, is that what you mean?

• 1:10:01Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no, no, like real lemonade is not...

• 1:10:06Speaker 02

  See, that looks opaque to me, chief.

• 1:10:08Speaker 01

  No, no, no, that's, that's not, that's not the one I was talking about. I guess we're not gonna be, it's gonna be too niche to find, so it's not even worth like looking up.

• 1:10:15Speaker 02

  Gotcha.

• 1:10:16Speaker 01

  But, yeah dude, everything here is just fucking dumpster fuel.

• 1:10:21Speaker 02

  Second time.

• 1:10:23Speaker 02

  Got him.

• 1:10:23Speaker 01

  Second time what?

• 1:10:24Speaker 02

  The Americans are poisoning us. Which is happening.

• 1:10:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:10:29Speaker 02

  We're getting poisoned for sure.

• 1:10:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's alright.

• 1:10:31Speaker 02

  It's fine.

• 1:10:32Speaker 01

  We'll have a fun time while we're doing it.

• 1:10:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:10:34Speaker 01

  We'll eat our, our...

• 1:10:35Speaker 02

  Just rub a banana on your face and you'll be good.

• 1:10:37Speaker 01

  We were told that people, when they go to America, it's like they wanna try the American fast food.

• 1:10:42Speaker 02

  Which is interesting, I feel like that would be the last thing that I would wanna try.

• 1:10:46Speaker 01

  Bro, when we were at um, the hotel in Dublin? We asked the concierge like, oh, like what, what should we try? And he was like, oh, spice bag, uh, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, also, you need to try Irish Burger King. We were like, what? He's like, yeah, it's like incredible. Like huh? Burger King?

• 1:11:09Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 1:11:10Speaker 01

  Didn't make any sense.

• 1:11:11Speaker 02

  Dude, Dublin also like, I, I've, when I was there...

• 1:11:16Speaker 02

  And then getting home, like, I've like been seeing shit on TikTok. It's like a very underrated city for food.

• 1:11:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:11:23Speaker 02

  Like they have mad good food.

• 1:11:25Speaker 01

  All the food we had there was great. I tried my best to just get as much like traditional Irish food as I could. You know, stews and pies and...

• 1:11:32Speaker 02

  Big fat pie.

• 1:11:33Speaker 01

  Bro, oh my god, that Shepherd's pie I had was crazy. What's up?

• 1:11:37Speaker 03

  How'd you feel about the London food? Cause when I went, I didn't really like it.

• 1:11:40Speaker 01

  I...

• 1:11:41Speaker 02

  We went to like a really nice Korean barbecue place. That was good.

• 1:11:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, that was good. And then, um, we had like two or three times, like Lebanese, because everything clo- when- The Lebanese food was great. When we were there, it was like, stuff legitimately was not open to eat past like 9:30.

• 1:11:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, we're our-

• 1:12:00Speaker 01

  So the, the options were super limited.

• 1:12:02Speaker 02

  The shows are tough because it's like you have to order shit to the green room and you can't really find anywhere to eat afterwards. You can do it in the, in the States, cause things are open later, but-

• 1:12:12Speaker 01

  I will say that salad that we had before one of that London shows was po- I, I'm not even kidding, one of the best salads I've had in my entire life.

• 1:12:17Speaker 02

  It was unbelievable. I don't even remember the name of where it was, but it was a big fatty.

• 1:12:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, well-

• 1:12:22Speaker 02

  It was. And it had a lot of shit in it. It had fantastic- Goat cheese.

• 1:12:27Speaker 01

  Hell yeah.

• 1:12:28Speaker 02

  Oh, Dublin, that's where we had the good cheeses.

• 1:12:33Speaker 01

  Yo, I couldn't believe, I could not believe how good these cheeses were. I ate

• 1:12:41Speaker 01

  maybe a pound and a half of cheese before I went on to stage. Like, not, bro, I couldn't, I had to remove myself, cause I was sitting right next to the cheese. I had to remove myself, cause I was like, I'm gonna eat this whole thing.

• 1:12:53Speaker 02

  It's like, I gotta get out of here.

• 1:12:54Speaker 01

  I had to remove myself. The cheese was so good.

• 1:12:58Speaker 02

  I, I forget whose idea it was to put a charcuterie on the rider, but that was such a good idea.

• 1:13:02Speaker 01

  It was like you and I. We're just like, let's ask them for charcuteries.

• 1:13:05Speaker 02

  So good. Unbelievable stuff.

• 1:13:07Speaker 01

  Cheese, cheese, man.

• 1:13:08Speaker 02

  Anyway, uh, just wanna say, you know, this is our first episode that we're recording, you know, after we got back from Europe, but honestly, super crazy to, uh, you know, kinda do that. I know for me, when I like walked through my door and then I was like going to sleep that night, I was like, what the hell did we just do? Like that is, it was so crazy to, uh-

• 1:13:32Speaker 02

  I don't know, I think even now, like if we're gonna like do a show or something, it's still scary to be like, "Oh, do people still care?" Or like, "Are they gonna show up?" Or "They bought tickets so long ago," or like, "Do they remember that the show is tonight?" And then going there and getting such crazy support, and it was just like... In every city, there were people who were recognizing us and being super nice to us. Um, everyone at the Guinness Factory was like, super nice to us too, like, it was just, it was just a wild feeling. And I, and it's, it's one thing for it to happen where you're from, but then to have it happen in a completely different sort of area, and then also driving through towns that are not,

• 1:14:14Speaker 02

  you know, giant cities or whatever, and then people recognizing you there kinda, that was also weird. It's like, I don't know, it just, it kind of put everything into, into perspective of how out of control and big this thing has gotten, you know, I guess with the help of the internet, because everyone has access to that. But, yeah, I just wanted to say, you know, it's, it's, it was really cool, you know, getting all that support from people, and all the crowds were, you know, super nice, and, yeah, everyone was just super fucking cool. I, it's, it's hard to even imagine, or not ma- imagine, it's, it's hard to put into words of, you know, what that felt like. It's a crazy feeling, honestly, and I just wanted to say thanks, it was really cool. But...

• 1:14:57Speaker 01

  I got nothing to add.

• 1:14:58Speaker 02

  Nothing to add, alright, and, uh, yeah, just wanted to say thanks, and that is all. Uh, you guys can go follow Frank, the Frank Alvarez.
