Welcome back to the basement.
Welcome back to the basement yard. How's it going Francis?
I'm a little sleepy boy.
Why?
Why not?
That's not how I thought you were gonna answer.
Why not? Why can't I be sleepy?
I don't know, you can be sleepy all you want.
I like being sleepy.
My contact is so blurry right now, is it fucked up?
Looks like someone, yeah.
Don't.
I, no, like it looks like someone poked you in the eyes.
Oh, I thought you were gonna say something about like jizz or something. I was like, alright, relax.
I don't, why would you think I was going with jizzing in your eye?
Cause you're you. That's why.
You're, you're being a...
Mean.
Did you say it like that?
I don't know, I take offense to that. So, I hope that the internet fires you for it.
Okay.
That would be so much funnier if we called it firing and not cancelling.
You're fired.
You're fired for it dude. Like, you're just done.
I mean, is there a difference?
Um...
You get cancelled, you get kinda fired.
No, but when you get fired, there's the idea that like...
I don't really like cancelling. Now that you brought that up, what about delete?
Oh, that's kinda permanent. That's kind of a permanent, well, that's what they want it to be. That's what the, the, the laugh, the peaceful laugh want it to be.
The, so...
A permanent delete.
Cancel, I don't like that.
I just, I hate it because it seems like, it's like they're just putting that big like red with a cross through it on their face like, eh, no smo... You know what I'm saying?
No, that's an X.
No.
Eh is an X.
No, I think it's, I think, I go eh is more of a cancel than it is X. X, I just go, no.
I'm pretty sure that's the exact Family Feud X noise.
Yeah.
And, and Price is Right. I don't know if they do it.
No, Price is Right goes, bum bum bum bum. Like it's like sad.
Oh yeah.
Like that's way worse. Bro, if I'm on a game show, I'd rather hear a than a, oh no, like you're an idiot. Like they're like kinda like softly reminding me that I fucked up.
Oh, look at the fucking moron up here. Can't get the, can't guess the price of sardines.
If you could go on any of those game shows, like and, and do well.
Any game show?
Any game show and do well. What do you think you would do?
I.
And I'm not talking like you just like the show, like you think you would have a chance.
Oh, like, oh, okay. Um.
I think if it's San Diego Studios Family Feud, like.
I think we would do decently on Family Feud. And if we didn't, I would fire everyone.
Cancel. Delete.
Right. Um, no, but I think, uh, uh, what's the Howie Mandel one?
Howie Mandel, the, the pyramid?
Deal or no do? Deal or no deal.
Deal or no deal.
That was gonna be my answer.
That one, it involves too much math.
Not math that you have to do.
Yeah, but I don't like knowing that other someone is doing math. You know what I'm saying? Like, I love math, but like, I need to watch math to like, I'm a little suspicious of it, you know?
None of that.
Yeah, you know. Like if I know someone's doing math, I wanna see the math too before they just be like, that was the math.
Right. I, whatever you're saying is, is confusing, but I, I think that that show, like you pick a random one and then you start opening up cases and then you start making deals.
Be honest, if you were putting together a celebrity, like, not celebrity, like a Family Feud team for San Diego Studios, which by the way, it's not that you need to be good. You also need to kinda hope the other people suck. Like you give them the chance, like you throw to them and if they fuck up, you get all the points.
I don't, I, like, I get that, but also at the same time, like, there are some people that I watch on Family Feud and I'm like, why the fuck did they even invite that person? That answer was so dumb.
Who would be the San Diego Studios Family Feud team?
How many people are on a team?
I think it's five is the max.
We don't have that many.
I think all the people that are involved at San Diego Studios.
Yeah, I don't think there's that. I mean, I would say me, you, Ant.
Yes.
Oh, Ant's coming in?
I think so.
Hell yeah.
I think you need to throw Greg in there.
Yeah, Greg.
He knows a lot about books.
You need Ahmed in there.
No, but we're content.
No, no, no, no, no.
We're not.
Listen, I'm sorry.
Not on Family Feud.
I love Ahmed.
He would give insane answers on that.
I really do, but he'd be the one that like Charlie in the episode of It's Always Sunny, where he's just like, "Dragon's blood!"
Yeah, yeah.
You know, like that. Ahmed would not know like certain things.
In that episode, he single-handedly wins.
That's a bad example, sure.
Because of those answers.
I also wouldn't take Keith because I feel like if he couldn't come up with an answer and they hit him with the ax, he would freak out.
Yeah, well, it's like Dennis.
And that would be the end of that.
Ah, ah!
Also, like, my, I think my biggest weakness would be the, uh, that part, the buzzer part.
Oh, really?
Yeah, because I feel like-
I think you'd be good at that.
Well, I can only, I can't think and slap.
Well, you would slap then have to think.
Right.
That would be tough. You are right.
I feel like I would be good at the fast money, though. Like, I could come up with answers.
Well, because those are such simple questions that like,
It's not about like, they say that the goal should be to aim for like what would be the second best answer, not the first, because then you leave like a little bit of wiggle room for whoever's coming next, you know what I mean?
I'm literally saying the first thing that comes to my head. And God forbid, they're like, "Your partner said the other one." I'd be like, "I can't think of anything now."
Yeah, all right, I guess, but-
What other shows were... Password, I think I would be great at.
Bro, if you and I went on Password-
I feel like we would do well.
We would do very well.
Like a catchphrase type of shit.
Yeah, well, we used to play that a lot as kids. You had the little circle catchphrase thing.
Hundred percent, I think that we would do extremely well with Password.
I think, uh, I don't know if you saw, on Amazon Prime, it was on there, they have like, it's like Pop Culture Jeopardy. It's hosted by Colin Jost. I think I'd be very good at that one.
Well, pop culture?
It doesn't necessarily mean modern pop culture.
I was gonna say, I don't know how good you'd be at that.
There's one show that is now, I think it's hosted by Lilly Singh, it's like Boomers vs Millennials.
Why, I haven't heard that name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Boomers vs Millennials. And it's like, a mom and their daughter go on, and like, the mom has to answer millennial questions, or Gen Z questions, and the kids have to answer boomer. It's like the typical, like, they show a picture of a rotary phone, and they're like,
What is this?
How, how does this work?
And, you know, the kids are just like, I don't fucking know.
What about you? Are you, you strike me, you know who he strikes me as? A Wheel of Fortune kid. You strike me as a Wheel of Fortune kid. You love letters, dude.
My sister's really good at Wheel of Fortune.
You love letters.
I like the 1%, you ever see that show?
The one that was hosted by, like, the Jim Norton?
I think so, yes, that one.
Yeah, and he was just like, alright, well, Born on a Monday, died on a Wednesday, but lived for 20 years. How does that, like, you know, it's like 20% of people.
Isn't Jim Norton a comedian?
The Australian comedian.
Oh, no.
The one that's like...
That's not, that's not Jim Norton.
I think-
Type in Jim Norton.
No, Jim Norton is a bald guy, right?
Yeah, he's a bald guy.
Oh, really? So whom I thinking?
I have no idea. Uh, Jim Jeffries.
Jim Jeffries?
Oh, yeah, that's the one.
Well, that's the guy that hosts it. That's the guy that hosts it.
I was like, Jim Norton?
Sorry, Norton Jeffries, very white, very understandably confusing last names.
I guess so.
I don't think Joe would ever go on the show. I know this is different, but I'm gonna put it out there. I think I would really like to watch Joe be on Big Brother, personally.
Absolutely fucking not.
I, I would hate it.
Why would you wanna watch me on that?
Well, I would like to watch you on a, on a show, but I feel like-
You'd like to see me 24/7? You'd like to be like a voyeur, you freak?
Well, why does that-
Yeah, it's like, oh, Joe's sleeping right now. There he goes, he's laying down.
And you, you, why? I'm still, I, what?
I think it'd be fun to watch you on. I think you would do well, that's why.
I, I-
I don't even know the rules.
I've never seen that show, yeah. I know that's the one where there's like cameras everywhere.
Yeah, they just live in a house and they do challenges, and it's like a social game, and-
See, I can't do those challenges, cause like- I hear that they're, they take it so fucking hard, like the challenge and, and you know, like with those show, like Big Brother, they take it so intense and I'd just be like, guys, we're adults. Like, I get we're competing for money, but like also, like, we're playing big games. Like, guys, come on, you're, you're adults here. I mean, I'm a challenge boy. I like the challenge. I think it's like, it's pretty cool. But that one's way more intense. I could see. Than a Big Brother. I, I sub- I submitted our hat into the ring for the, uh, for the traitors, but I am taking it back out. I would not be. I would love to be on that. I would not be good at that. Traitors? That would be a good one. Ever since we've done those Santa Gato studios where I'm the imposter, it's clear that I would be very bad at it. I don't think you would be like that bad at it.
I just, I don't like lying. So like, it would, like in that, I'd be like, alright, you got me, guys. You know, like. Yeah, get the fuck out of here. I'm serious. What, what audience are you playing? I mean, look at how we do. Oh, I don't like lying. I'd be like, oh, sorry. I mean, if there was a quarter of a million dollars on the line, then I'll, I'll fucking lie through my teeth. You, you, we can, we'll figure this thing out. We'll figure this thing out. What other game, dude, I mean, I, I would, I would kill to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple, but that's, that, that ship has sailed.
That was a cool one. I mean, it was cool when you're a child. Yeah. Like, when you think about it, the thing that they're running through, it's not that hard. I know, but like, I've, I like, would go to like Burger King play places and like train. I'd be like, alright, I can get through this, like, very quickly. I can go up this ladder. I can do da, da, da, da, da. Look up other game shows, by the way. Sure. I, I think that there is a like, like, I could have been an all-star Legends of the Hidden Temple player. Silver Snake. Or Purple Paris. I'm going either one, baby. I'm not, I'm not against either of them. What's the worst one? Green monkeys. What's the orange one? Orange iguanas? That's not great. I, I mean, I love the color orange, but. Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, I would get my ass whooped.
Dude, I don't even, like, this is the thing with Jeopardy. I don't know how people know that much. They, I think they give you like a study guide. Like, they say, like, here are the topics for this week, and then like. Or it'll just be like, here's a, I, I honestly don't know, but I assume it's kind of like.
Uh, 20th century poets or something. And then they would give some information and maybe you need to-
Yeah, but like, there's a new episode every day, so I'm sure they're filming several episodes a day.
So like, you have to imagine. Bro, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? I couldn't, because I would be pissed at Regis. R.I.P. I'm pretty sure he's gone, right?
Yeah, he's ripped up.
He hit it?
Up.
But, Who Wants to be a Millionaire? I feel like I could get to a point where I would... I would, I think I could get to that first level where you're like, safe, but it's like, five grand or something? Or it's like, three grand or something. But like, as long as I had a safety net, I'd be like, alright, because you could use the fucking... Take the two out, call somebody.
Yeah, but then you got-
That's the thing, no, I don't know who I'm even calling for any of those questions.
That's the thing, I was gonna say, is like, at that point, who do you call?
These people are calling like, their friends, or their dad. I'd be like, bro, I'm not, I'm, you know, I'm not doing this.
You know which one I would be good at? Have you ever seen, um, Dude, the Cube was a good one.
What's the Cube again?
The Cube. As, Jesus Christ.
I don't remember that.
Literally, Dwyane Wade, Dwyane Wade would be like, alright, do you think you're tough enough to beat? The Cube.
He would whisper?
No, it wasn't him, it was like, the voiceover.
Oh.
The Cube was like, it was like those like, bar tricks, where it was like, You drop a ball on a slide, and you have to go to the bottom of the slide, and catch other balls before that one drops, and shit like that.
Oh, I think I've seen like, a episode of that before.
Like, you had to, like, it would be like, you need to stop, yeah. Then there was one, it was like, you need to stop the clock on as close to 10 seconds as you can.
Mmm.
And you have like, a .5 second window, and then, You can use a lifeline, and it'll be a .1 or something, or like, a larger window, or whatever.
Yeah, I wanted to sign up for this, The Cube. I think I'd be good at it. I'm good with hand eyes, you know?
Yeah. What? There was one, there's literally was one where it was like, you need to, there's just like, 100 balls in a bin, and you need to just get all of them out in 20 seconds. That's it.
Right here, this one?
Yeah, that.
Oh, you gotta get them all out?
All of them out in 20 seconds.
I would, yeah, I don't even know. Like, I would just like, like a fucking dog in there.
Yeah, but that's the thing, but then when you get down to like 10, it's like,
You gotta get them.
You gotta fucking scramble and shit.
I don't like racing against any clocks, to be honest with you.
There was one in the, in the cube, there was one challenge where, like, you can, like, one of your lifelines is you can ask Dwyane Wade to do it for you. Cause he was the host.
So like, there was one that was like a basketball one, and everyone was just like, "Dwyane."
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then it's like,
He missed it, by the way.
There, there have been times he's missed it, times that he's made it. But,
Damn, what about the weakest link? Remember that, that bitch would just talk shit to you?
I would get so pissed at that old white hag.
Hatch cab!
Yeah, but like, those questions are tough.
Really hard, honestly.
I don't remember seeing any of that. I was just like, "Yo, that's hard."
No, no, there was questions, and I was like, "Yo, what the fuck?"
I remember the, the one that I think I would do good at is like, Uh, it was the one where it was like, Steveo hosted it for like a season, and it was called like, something karaoke, Killer Karaoke? Where like, you had to keep singing a song, But he'd like dunk you in a tank of piranhas while you're try- or like ice water and shit like that.
Or like walk across mousetraps. I'd be good at that.
Double Dare, obviously. I would dominate that show.
I would be a problem in Double Dare, dude. Are you kidding me?
I've always wanted to climb into that nose and get the flag. Be covered in boogers.
I like the one where it was just like, you have to go through the paint roller.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good one too. Damn dude, I wanna get on a game show.
Why, why haven't I, I mean, we were, I was almost on a game show. Remember that short-lived?
Do I?
That was quite the experience.
Did you ever tell that story how you were on a game show?
We've told that story a couple times. Aunt might not have heard it, but there was a, uh, I knew someone in college Who was a casting director for like a bunch of like game shows and reality shows and stuff like that. And she reached out and she's like, "Do you wanna be on this show called Best Time Ever?"
It was in Astoria.
It filmed in Astoria at Kaufman Studios. It was, uh, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, and he had like a guest announcer.
Alec Baldwin?
Alec Baldwin was the guest announcer.
Wasn't Nicole Scherzinger there too? Am I making that up?
It might have been, but like,
Bro, sorry. One thing that I was like, whoa, TV here, because they put you in a room. I went with him as like his plus one. So they sit the people who are actually gonna have a chance to be on the show on one side and the rest of us on the other. And they interview everyone and make them go up and like say stuff about them to see who's good for TV.
So everyone's getting up being like, hi, I'm Marissa. I speak five languages and I've been to Peru.
It was like the most like.
The fuck was that?
It's the mo- it was the most intense concentrated version of like what people believe like those that are trying to make it are. Like what they're doing, like they work at the Starlight Diner, so like they know they might be waiting on someone that's a screenwriter, so they're just like, wow. Boy, do you love this menu today. We have hamburgers, we have waffles, like. It's just like that, like I always think of, did you ever see the SNL sketch? Where they were like making fun of like going to like Disney acting camp?
It's like that, like it's like.
Like your reaction and yo, they legit were like every person that came to the room like they. It wasn't like you could be on it, you had to have like a thing and it was just like, I'm a screenwriter and actress and producer, you know?
But they make it seem like anyone in the crowd could get picked, so that makes me think that like, uh.
It's ri- it's fake, it's rigged.
The Price is Right, that like, there's only a certain amount of people in the crowd, it's not everyone. Like everyone's wearing a name tag, but like only a certain amount of people have a chance to be on it. Cause they have to like vet who's like good for TV. And they did. That's why everyone who gets on The Price is Right, they're like, oh.
Well, cause remember, we, you didn't know if you were getting, they didn't tell who was getting picked to get picked. So they had like a, like a rotating series of pictures that like went through them quickly and then it would stop on the person that got picked.
I was the person right before the person that got picked. And it was like you, the person was like, you win twenty thousand dollars cash, a new Jeep. You remember that? I was like, damn. But also it was so TV, like it was uncomfortable.
It was weird.
Cause it was just like, if the ca- like you have to imagine the cameras on you at all times, so like button the smile, like ah, like any big reactions like, oh.
You're like seals, you're like seals out there. Did you go up and have to give a, I'm Frank?
So.
You've told this story.
It was like, it was good. I'm glad that he did it the way that he did, because everyone was getting up there with these stories like, "I lived in Europe and I, you know, I speak three languages and I, and like, all these impressive things."
I remember someone there climbed Mount Everest.
Something like that.
And, but, there was a, there was multiple people who kept saying the amount of languages and it just became a thing, like, everyone kept doing that. Frank got up there and be like, "Don't speak any other languages." Just like, said some other shit.
I honestly don't remember.
But I remember him saying that. Didn't get a laugh. I was like, "Oh god, this fucking place sucks."
Yeah, I mean, should've got picked. Also, in between takes, actors are different people than you see on TV. That's all I'm gonna say.
What does that mean?
That's all I'm gonna say.
NPH?
I mean, in between, like, they're, they're there for work, so like, there's a machine running behind them, so like, might have been a little snippy in between, you know, the commercial breaks.
Oh, I don't even remember that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that lines up with other people have experienced, like, there's like, stories and rumors about him out there that's... Where's my goddamn donut, Sheila? I'm not saying I saw all that, but I saw enough to just be like, "Huh, interesting." Um, and then, funny, I guess not funny, Alec Baldwin being there. He had a fall.
Careful.
He had a fall from grace.
You know, that was right around the time he might have called his daughter like a pig or something like that, right?
Yeah, I mean, every dad does that, don't they?
I don't, I don't know about that. I don't know about all that.
It does, it goes to a pig.
I think
it could be good for us to go on a game show. Not even just for the winning part.
It could be also very bad.
It could be. If they just so happen to be filming one not far, and they want people that are just like, fun guys.
Fun boys.
Fun boys going and doing stuff on a game show.
You know.
We'll make it fun, we'll make it memorable.
If we did Fear Factor, would you eat the sh- the bugs?
That's easy, yeah.
Okay, good. Oh yeah, you eat bugs.
Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on.
I know you've eaten bugs, I mean.
Well, please back up. You're coming, you're coming in hot, okay? You're coming in hot like that, whatever happened in your eye.
There it is.
Why are you saying yeah?
It was coming.
All maroon. Look at this, all maroon.
What's wrong with maroon?
Mitch, very matchy.
He hate, yo, him and Greg hate matchy. It's not that I hate matchy. They've commented on my matching, like, at least six times in the last year and a half. I, first of all, not me. Yes, you. I have never been like, hey, you're too matchy. That was my first match. No, no, no, no. And you're very matchy. No, no, no, you didn't say, hey, you're too matchy, but you'd just be like, you like to match. Which I know, I know that, no, Greg said, you really like to match, which is when I knew that I was like, oh, it's a problem for Greg. Ladies and gentlemen, fabrication is happening upon us. There is no fabrication. This is, this is being fabricated like a piece of fabric. Like a fabric factory, Frank, yeah. You're, you're, you're really close. To what? Just be careful. Fabric factory? Oh, I see what you're saying.
You're getting, you're getting awfully, you're teetering on the edge right there. Well, that's why I enunciate. That's very. Enunciation. Enunciation. Conjugation, whatever that is. Subconjugation. Who's that? I imagine it's like a conjugation being like a little sub. Being a little submissive. Just like, being a little submissive, like dominate me grammar.
Domagomagation.
That's not how you say it. Dominate me dictionary.
Domagation.
Make me a subconjugate. I'm subconjugating right now. Oh, a sub synonym? Yeah.
Why don't you come on over? I'll subconjugate for you. I hate that we have words for what words are. Like, words should just be words. Stop making them. We've got words to describe words. I don't like that, dude. Adverb, my guy, get out of here. Get out, yo, I'm not even kidding. Don't even ask me that stuff. I know, I know noun, I know synonym, you know pronoun, you better know pronoun. I know pronouns.
Yeah, you better.
I know them and I respect them.
I'll tell you this, that is, that is something that is also a positive in my life. Is that, once the pronouns thing became very prevalent, I'm like, now I know what those are. Because that's a tough one.
We all get something, like, the people that are just like, "I'm not respecting pronouns." We all get something out of respecting pronouns.
The grammar.
They, the people that are requesting certain pronouns, they get the respect they feel they deserve. And we're learning a little bit of grammar and syntax.
Because that's not something that I would be very familiar with. Adverb, that one is gonna take me some time.
My guy, if you asked me 10 years ago what a pronoun was, you weren't getting the conversation out of me.
I literally would have probably said butter. Like, I don't know. I don't know what a pronoun is.
It does sound like a compound butter, like a type of compound butter, like a pronoun butter.
Yeah, or I just, you know, a professional noun. Oh, I would think that it's a name.
Like a pronoun.
Like Mount Olympus.
No, I would think it would be like what you, like, when you speak to people of high status, like captain or colonel. Like, the pronoun is like the ranking.
That makes sense.
You know? Like, oh, well the...
Your military ranking.
Yeah, your military ranking, like, "Well, that's lieutenant." Frank, you know what I mean? Like, their pronoun is lieutenant.
Now, we know that that's not the case.
Yeah, he, she, they, she. Well, we're just going all she.
Yeah, we'll go she, they, them.
He, she.
Us. Together.
Is us?
He, I?
I? It's, it's, it's, it's...
Me.
He.
Yo soy.
He, him. She, her. They, them.
There's more. I just am not familiar.
Do you mind educating us?
Me?
Did you forget? Did you miss the part where I said, "I don't, I'm not..."
I know, but now you're here.
There's, there's...
Someone needs to be the savior of this conversation.
I've heard, I've heard creative ones, but I don't know them.
Well, I think latinx, Latinx, is like, used...
I can't, I see, I see it and I immediately go to La Tink.
La Tink. You have to.
I, I mean.
When you can pronounce X in that way, X is like the best letter. Let's get that out of the way.
X is up there.
Triple X porn, or triple X Vin Diesel.
Vin Diesel, I was going Vin Diesel, nice Q, man, baby.
Yeah, you know, like X, like X marks the spot.
Treasure, who doesn't love treasure?
X over the eyes, dead, dead cartoons.
Yes, yes, yes.
Uh, X, uh, X.
X on the belly button, like where to hit the bad guy in the video games.
Right, exactly, yeah. Punch out?
King Hippo, that's right.
He knows, he gets it.
What other X's are there? Uh, don't, don't do that. Oh, oh, uh, oh, that's.
Stop!
Right, X.
X. X's and O's, hugs and kisses?
Hugs and kisses.
You know, the song X's and O's by Ellie Goulding, right?
I don't think that's her.
Is that the one that's Rob Schneider's daughter?
Uh, uh, that's, that's, uh, what's her name in the, in the, it's, uh, something and an elephant, what's her name? Cage? Ca- no, not Cage the Elephant, what's the, who type, who does, uh, what's the song? It's not Ellie Goulding.
It's, uh, Rob Schneider's daughter.
What's the thing, it's like Elephant?
Ellie, Ella.
Not, no, it's, it's something, who, what's the song you just said? Oh, Monkey Dance. Oh, it's like Elephant and Tones, what's it called?
I don't know, I, I, I don't know what the question, I'm trying to help.
Monkey Dance and Elephant ringing. I want to help. Or Dance Monkey, not Monkey Dance, Dance Monkey by Elephant, no, it's.
It's Ella something.
Ellie King?
Ellie King!
Type in Dance Monkey!
It's Ellie King, he's right, he's right, it's Ellie King.
It's Tones and I, is that what you're saying?
Dude, where did I get the elephant? Where did I even make an elephant from? I don't know if I've ever heard this.
Tones and I, yeah, Dance Monkey Dance Monkey Dance Monkey Roar.
Oh, that song sucks.
She has another one, what's her, what's the Ellie Gould song where she's like, is it the one?
Oh, no, then who's Ellie King? The one that you're talking about, that's Rob Schneider's daughter.
I was talking about this one, I, I made an elephant and I don't know why.
Show me Rob Schneider's daughter!
I don't think she makes music.
She does! She does. Ellie King!
Type in.
I told you!
Oh, okay.
That's his daughter, she-
Elle King.
Elle King, sorry.
This is a music forward, uh, picture here, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. She has X's and O's!
Oh, wow.
I was right about Rob Schneider's daughter's music!
I'm very happy for you.
I don't think she associates with her dad-
That song "Drunk" is good, too.
I don't think she associates with her dad, so forgive me for just, uh, immediately just grouping her there.
Well-
I don't think her and her dad are like, cool right now.
Good, because, you see what he did? Elle King? And I'm sorry about "Tones and Low," I don't know why I put an elephant in your name, but it felt correct at the time.
Wasn't it "Tones and I"?
"Tones and I," who did I say?
"Tones and Low"?
I don't know.
We just, I'm tell- if you take the last three minutes of this episode, and you played it for someone that existed in like, 1941, they would-
Put their head in a blender.
Yeah, they would just get polio and pass out.
They'd put their whole body in an iron lung.
Head first.
Those are cool, I wanna get into an iron lung.
No, you don't!
Why not? It's just air, no? It helps me breathe?
I think it's more than that, brother, it's like, because people lost, like-
No, I know, it's not good, uh, when you're in it, it's a bad-
The last one, the last dude that was in one just went.
Cause there's something wrong.
Well, could, yeah, I think it's, it's polio, right? That he had?
You're, you're talking about a man I've never met or know.
I didn't meet him or know him either, but I know that he had something that I, that I knew of.
All I'm saying is an iron lung looks...
cozy.
Sure. Bro, no way, the guy only, he couldn't control his, I think he was a quadriplegic.
Frank, I'm not saying that sounds fun, I feel bad for those people.
Oh, so you wanna be a fully healthy-
Able-bodied.
Able-
Who can, who, who's just, who, I'm, I don't, I know, um, here I am.
Here, where? Just call. Dial 911, dial 911.
Take the whole thing out.
Dial 911 next.
That sounded-
Take it out daddy, take it out!
Who on the-
Take it out!
I'm subjugating right now.
Take it out! Take it all out!
The grammar guys! Oh, man.
I'm tell- I'm telling you-
Oh, I'm gonna subjugate you when I get home.

So, I'm thinking, like... It's like, we, you can invest. But I'm not investing. I'm not putting my money in porn.
Because it's not a good idea.
Because, no, because I, I refuse to support that industry because it is predatory in nature often. But like, if you inv- uh, you would invest in it. There we go.
Yes. So...
It depends on the idea.
Well, here's the idea. It's like... Porn, you got, you know. It's not hard to remember that.
Humans having sex?
Yeah. But they add in, like, to understand grammatical stuff. So it's kinda like teaching also.
Oh, no. You don't combine, no, you don't combine those.
It's a horrible idea. It's like, you'll be able to take my top off if you can tell me the proper placement of a semicolon.
Which who the hell knows that?
Well, that's what I'm saying. You can, two birds, one stone. Listen, can't beat 'em, beat 'em off.
Wow.
Can't beat 'em.
Bad idea?
Semicolon, by the way, we can call it something else.
No, it's a half colon.
I know, but we can get the colon, we don't have to call it a colon either. Cause we have, we know what a colon is.
I also hate that they call the three dots in ellipses. Just call it like, um...
What three dots?
Where it's like at the end of a sentence where it'll be like, dot, dot, dot.
That's called an ellipses?
Ellipses, yeah.
I did not know that.
You didn't know that?
No, I thought ellipses was like...
Weather.
That's an eclipsy.
No, not an eclipses. Like, what's the other one?
Like an ellipsy is just like a cute little eclipse?
Yeah, no, no, no.
Like it's just like- Like a little one. A little baby one. Oh, look at the little ellipsy up there!
No, what's the other one? The, the solstice.
That's a season. That's like a time for like this, the year.
Yeah, it felt like all those words were similar, so they, I thought they all kind of meant the same thing.
Well, there's summer solstice and there's the winter solstice.
Thank you for listing out two.
That's all that there is!
I know, but I thought that eclipses-
Cause then there's the fall and the spring equinox, right?
I know, I know-
Which, what is that? What is it?
Well, equinox, it's a cool gym.
No, right, yeah.
And it's-
It's an expensive gym.
It's an expensive gym and it's a time of the year.
Right, but is it, have to do with the moon?
Uh, I believe it has to do with the tilting of the earth and the angle at which the moon and the sunlight hits us.
Hmm.
So, yeah, sure.
So naturally.
I think it's like, it also has to do with like the tropic of like cancer and like the, the, there's, you never heard of the tropic of cancer?
No, I'm saying you were on the right track. I was just giving you-
You're, oh wait, so that was bewilderment at how I actually knew this?
I was just giving you props. Wait, the tropic of cancer, what does it do? Oh, that part I don't know. I was talking more about the tilts and then I started to lose me.
The earth?
This is the, um, what's it called?
It revolves?
This is solstice? Is this a solstice?
We're solstice?
Solstice, solstice.
Right. And then what's equinox? When it's, she's got her finger-
Equinox is when it's in the middle. Equin, equa.
Oh, so when she's straight up, she's equinoxing. But when she's tilting, she's solstice?
Yeah, she's solstice.
She's like slouching.
Yeah, it's just like-
It's like when the earth slouches.
Like, correct your posture. Equinox.
You know?
But for the most part, we're, we're solstice.
We're solstice.
Is that right? Did we get that right? Can you read?
I don't know. So, yeah, so it's- I'm trying. Cause the Earth revolves around the sun. Mmm. It also rotates on an axis. Correct. And it tilts up and down like this. Which is like- How- this is a joke. We're just- we're- this is not even a joke. We're doing this- Yeah, we're doing this in space and everyone's just like- By the way, by the way. Fast. Yeah, dude. I mean, fast in the grand scheme of things, slow for us. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Cause it's- it's speed is relative, my friend. But like, I know, but like, how could we not feel? Well, because it's going slow. And to us, but fast to other things. To speed. Faster to speed.
I heard that if the- if the Earth stopped spinning, everything would just go flying. Probably, or it's- I mean, it's like being in a car that you hit the brakes. Yeah. I think they, like, the speed is like- I slammed my brakes yesterday. Very scary. Really? Yeah, I was coming home from, uh, my brother's house. Alright. It's-
I mean, you're okay, right? You're good? If something bad happened, I would've heard about it. I'm hurt now. Are you? Yeah. You had a slam on the brakes of our friendship and the whiplash just broke your heart? Yeah, I'm gonna send you through the windshield right now slamming on the fucking brakes.
I- I was gonna ask, do you know how fast the Earth is, uh, moving around the sun?
How would you like me to answer?
In miles per hour, please.
Wouldn't matter, I don't know. I- I think- Probably like 400,000 miles an hour. Well, around the sun, we gotta think about, it's- it takes 365 days and we need to know this- the distance. He's gonna say a lot of stuff and then not have an answer. It's like a couple hundred thousand miles, right? Give an answer, I said 400.
400 miles per hour.
No, 400,000.
Got it.
I'm saying it's like-
Distance. Eight minutes for light to hit us from the sun. You know you're not doing math. I'm trying. Let me do math. Math porn.
It's like, tell me what a summation is and I'll show you my nipples.
I don't even know what that is.
Exactly, you'll get there one day. Give an answer. I would say-
782 miles per hour.
67,000 miles per hour around the sun.
Yeah, okay.
I was off and he was well.
I'll tell you what, though. Four, around 400,000 miles per hour, our entire galaxy is moving.
Where's it going?
Our solar system.
It's expanding, it's in every, it's, everything is expanding.
Wait, no, no, sorry.
You've never heard of the Doppler, like?
I, I know that, but you're saying we're moving, we're also going?
Our entire solar system, including Earth, is orbiting in the center of the Milky Way at about 400 to 500,000 miles per hour.
Fast.
That's fast, brother.
That's so fast.
And the Milky Way is also moving through the universe at about 1.3 million miles per hour.
What is happening to us right now? We're flying right now. Shut the fuck up with all this stuff, like, I hate, I hate, listen, I love Neil deGrasse Tyson. I think he's a cool dude, he's well spoken, love his vest game, okay? But like, to make this a thing you learn about life and like, wanna tell people about? Shut up.
The Milky Way?
Great name, great, great name for a galaxy.
Delicious, I think that we should name all of the scientific stuff after chocolate bars.
I'm not, you, yes, cosine.
You know what I mean?
Yeah. Absolute cosine, I'm with you there.
But then we have like Andromeda. What is that?
I mean, that's a pretty cool name, stop, stop, stop, it reminds me of like-
I don't like it.
It reminds me of like, uh, like a, like a-
See?
Like a bad, like, you know, like cyber bad, bad guy from like, a video game, you know what I mean?
You know what I mean? Andross, that's who I'm thinking of from Star Fox.
Can you look at the names of galaxies?
Yes, we can.
Then they get, they get boring after that, it's like, oh, there's Centauri, and it's like-
Centauri, that sounds like a Japanese one.
It might be, honestly. The names-
It can't be a Japanese galaxy, Frank.
Why can't there be?
They would have their own?
You only want white galaxies, Joe?
No, I'm just saying like it's not, it's just a, it's a...
No, like they can name it and be like, "We named it first."
Does some, this is like...
Someone names these galaxies.
This is a real question now. Does every country recognize that this is called the Milky Way Galaxy? Or do we just...
That's a great question. Look up what the galaxy is called in other languages. Because we call it the Milky Way because we're fat Americans. But like, do the Japanese call it like, something cooler?
I thought you were gonna say something.
I'm glad you didn't.
But that's not, like, do the Japanese people have a different name for the Milky Way?
I think whatever you look it up as, Joe needs to try to pronounce it.
They don't. They call it the Milky Way? No, they don't. So, in Chinese, it's called the Silver River.
Whoa, dude!
That's a great name, dude!
That is a really good one.
The Silver River?
That's a good one.
What does Russia call it?
Wait, why did he say "they don't" and then gave us an example of them doing it?
No, like, they don't call it the Milky Way.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
I only have a few here. I'll try to find, but in Finnish, it's called the Path of Birds.
That's not bad, because you know, when you kinda see, it looks like birds. Nah, but I mean, we're city folk, so we hate birds.
I mean...
So, if they were like, this, the, what is it? The Parade of Birds?
The, sorry, the Path of Birds.
If it was like, the Path of Dragons, I'd be like, "Hell yeah."
Wait, so Japan calls it the Silver La...
China, China.
China calls it the Silver? Silver River. That's fucking sick.
That's so good.
It's a good name.
That is so good.
In Hindi, it's the Ganges River of Heaven. I think that's the real river.
See, that's a good one too. River of Heaven. It's up there.
Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sanskrit, the Divine Way.
Love that!
What is Sanskrit? Is that like a ancient...
I don't know, I'm not, I'm not gonna ask because I don't wanna come off as imagining that I don't... Like, I don't want people to think I don't know what that is. Let me, let me appear like I'm smarter than I am. Yeah, dude, Sanskrit!
And the Kalari people, the backbone of the night.
Is it the backbone of the night? Yeah, I mean kinda, because when you look at the night, you could always find its backbone in the middle and it's the stars. And that's all.
It makes no sense.
Yo, I can't tell you how unreasonably excited I got the other night when I found the little dipper. I was like, "Oh, oh!"
Have you been outside? That's an easy one to find.
I know, but that's why I'm saying unreasonably excited.
Bro, I went through a time in my life where, for some reason, so many people kept going, "That's Orion's Belt", to like, any three stars you could find.
Well, it's the, and that's an easy one to find. It's the middle one is the North Star, isn't it?
I don't know. I mean, I don't really know what the North Star...
There's a binary galaxy?
Damn.
Is there a non-binary galaxy? Yo, come on. That's awesome. Be more, you know, I'm sure there are people in the south, they're like, "I'm not calling it..."
Fireworks galaxy. Okay, clearly I see that we let a four-year-old name it.
Yo, we talked about this recently.
Sombrero galaxy?
We talked about, Joey's pissed about that one. We talked about this recently. I love this. Andromeda, cool. Cartwheel, sucks.
Hoag's object? That just sounds like a dick.
Yo, we talked about this like, a year ago. Not even, maybe like, three months ago.
I don't even remember this.
I think we did, you know. Yeah, because I remember you looking it up and being like, "Whoa, some of these are cool." I'm jogging back now.
Black Eye Galaxy.
But what do they call them in other countries? Like, other countries that have cooler names for things, like, Germany. What does Germany call the galaxy?
Wait, hold on. Now that, now that we've found out that, like, other countries don't acknowledge, like, the Milky Way, what do they acknowledge? Like, do, like...
Because they probably named it before we did.
But like, the planets, do they call the planets different shit? Or did we decide what the pla- like...
Ooh, that's a good, you know what? Look up what, I just want to know what Japan calls the planets.
I'd like to know what Japan calls everything.
I think, I think the planets might be one that might be more universally...
Earth has to be Earth, no?
I would imagine Earth is just Earth, but like, I could see them, like, it's like, the planets are universal, but like, because those you had to, like, use, like, intense, I keep saying like, and people are gonna get pissed out of their face.
You had to use intense like, imaging in order to see them, so like, those came later and everyone was just like, okay, alright, we, we know the planets.
Before, when they could just see the galaxy.
Yeah. I'd never even thought of this until now.
This is the most-
That they would have other names?
This is the most intense, like, searching of stuff that Ann has had to do.
Yeah, Ann hasn't done this since like, the SATs.
What I'm trying to look up, they're, they're all, for the planets, it's all close to the name, just in their language.
You know, it's like, it's still-
Yeah, that's, that's, that makes sense.
But like, not as vastly different as the Milky Way with all those other planets.
But, and also, by the way, all, this is crazy, all of our planets are named after, like, Roman gods.
Are they?
Yeah. Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Uranus.
You're naming the planets?
They're, those are Roman gods.
So the fact that ancient Romans were just like, yo, that's Jupiter, that's the, whatever number it is, it's just like, how the hell, dude?
How the fuck did they know that was up there?
Listen, I'm telling you right now-
How the fuck, how, how the fuck did they know about Mars?
I would've been stoned and killed, because I'd just be like, yo, you all are, I'd go back with the time and the knowledge and be like, yo, you guys are idiots, dude. Let me show you a phone.
I'd bring a like Nintendo Switch with me and I would ruin their lives.
Nate Bargatze has a great bit about if he went back in time, even if he had a cellphone, he'd be like, I don't know that I would change anything. Cause I, or he was, he was like, oh, you know, now with the phones, like, now they have a, a cellphone, you have it in your hand, they'd be like, how do they do it? And he's like, I don't know. Yeah. I don't wanna do his bit for, but like, he has this really funny bit about that, like, which is true. It's like, how could, if you went back in time, how would you even-
Well, I heard that, I heard the thing, like, the one line I heard was, if you brought a motorcycle to the Middle Ages, they'd learn how to use it, but they wouldn't be able to replicate it, cause they don't have the technology.
And that's, the same thing with a gun.
But you'd be the motorcycle guy. Yang, yang. Here he comes. Yang.
There's ye olde asshole Frank.
Yeah, exactly.
Douchebag.
There were no roads.
There were, there were dirt roads, brother, they had wagons.
They had to walk. They would make roads with their feet.
That a motorcycle could last on, maybe?
Depends what kinda tires you get on there.
I'd bring a dirt bike.
I'll tell you this.
I'd bring a dirt bike back to the Middle Ages.
One flat tire, suddenly not so cool.
I would bring an AK-47 back to the Revolutionary War.
That, yo.
That would win the war.
Pet, pet, pet, pet, pet.
If I'm just like, yo, George.
Who's George?
Washington.
Oh, oh, the Revolutionary War.
The George at the time, dude.
The George.
Boy, do I have something for you guys. You don't need to march and play flutes to go and fight them. Sit right here and just press one button and win the war.
They had guns too.
Yeah, it took them 40 minutes to shoot two rounds, dude.
It'd be like, alright, set up, fire, and the fucking bullet would end up over there. And then they'd be stuffing this thing with like feathers and powder and shit like that.
Dude, I'd like to shoot a musket at some point in my life, wouldn't you?
My father-in-law wants a black powder rifle, or he has one.
What is that?
Where you pour the powder, the gunpowder into it.
Hell yeah, now we're talking. I wanna shoot and this thing light up like an old camera.
Just like, ksh.
Yeah, like, smoke everywhere.
Just like explodes in your face?
You just want this thing just blasting you in the face?
Subjugate, I'm back to subjugation, baby!
It'll knock your contacts out.
What?
Well, cuz we're back to the original conversation with the contacts.
Correct. Um, okay, well, we do have some more sponsors for today. Uh, we have Zocdoc. Zocdoc is a platform that's gonna help you, uh, search and compare high-quality, in-network doctors, okay? So, uh, if, you know, you don't have a primary care physician, or maybe you do and you need a specialist or something like that, you can find those with Zocdoc. You're gonna go to the website, you put in your insurance, and then it will show you doctors in your area and their next available appointments, and they're all patient, uh, reviewed. So, they will have a score out of five, I think, so, you know, you'll know who's had a good experience and a bad experience with these doctors.
Um, but yeah, so they're patient-reviewed and, uh, you can instantly book a visit through, uh, their app or their website. Uh, you just gotta go to zocdoc.com/basement. That is Z-O-C-D-O-C dot com slash basement, okay? Uh, so, go check it out. Stop putting off those doctor's appointments. Go to zocdoc.com/basement and book 'em today, alright, folks?
Here we go.
I forgot what we were saying. It's amazing how when you cut to ads, how my brain just shuts off for forty seconds.
It's a, it's a thing. I do have one thing that we have written down. You mentioned something about toilet paper in China.
Yeah dude, so I s- yup, we're gonna talk about toilet paper in China. There was a, it's going, not viral, but like, I saw a story that basically, public toilets in China have QR codes on the toilet paper dispensers now, so you need to watch like a thirty second ad in order to get toilet paper.
Don't, don't, I'm not.
What do you, be honest. First of all, I know how you feel about public toilets. You'll crap your pants before you go to a public toilet.
I mean, I'll only use them in an emergency, yes.
If you walked in and you saw a QR code, gatekeeping toilet paper.
Let's, let's be very honest about something. It's me, hello, I'm in China. I won't notice that this thing isn't available until I am already done crapping.
Oh, so, well, yeah, no, cuz you, who thinks of the toilet paper during the crap? It's always at the back end.
Yeah, I'll never go.
You?
You think about to, oh yeah, he's a bird, he's a, he, he nests his shit.
Oh yeah, he like folds it up and like kisses it and puts a wax stamp on it before he wipes his fucking ass with it.
No, no, no, he like throws like sticks and dirt into the toilet and then he shits on it and then he, and then, yeah.
Wait, what?
No, he, he throws like toilet paper in the toilet.
So he craps on top of to- so you're, you're.
Yeah. He makes a nest, he's like a bird.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
He's like a bird.
I, I, a little birdy.
He throws toilet, for what? Cuz there's no splash?
No splash, yup. It prevents the splash.
So you get a little, that's where, guess what, guess where toilet water is supposed to be if not in the bowl? A sprinkle or two on your ass, asshole.
I don't, I don't really agree with what you're saying.
I don't know if that's a good argument.
I think there's better arguments to make, like, hey, how about your plumbing?
Some sacrifices are willing to make.
Also, also, your crap is above water now.
It's really not that much.
Your crap is above water, so it stinks.
It's no, it goes through.
You're gonna tell me you've never crapped?
How heavy are your poops? It's just not, they're not that light.
You're dropping dense logs?
Yeah, dude. It could go through the paper.
I fucking hate this conversation.
You're dr- I mean, you-
I hate this.
I didn't think that my bird nest thing was gonna come up. I meant more like, when you go to a public stall, you need to check if there's even toilet paper there.
I don't do that. I, um, the expectation is, is, is, uh, v-
Do you mind? Do you mind?
If I'm going to a public bathroom, I am there with one thought on the mind, and it is-
I hope no one hears this.
Hurry. Hearing, I don't, people don't give a fuck about hearing in, in public toilets.
You will, you will take a dump like as loud as you can?
First of all, I'm there for business. I'm not thinking about noises.
I am.
I'm not one of those people that's just like, "Ah!"
Yeah, that's not what I mean. I mean, like, you, you know, like, when you go to the bathroom, sometimes there's noises. I will try to prevent that at all costs.
How? You like squeeze your little asshole?
Too much?
Yeah, that's true. I will, that's what, that's what I will do.
Seriously?
That's crazy. You just gotta like, if, I mean, I'm not sitting there fucking, it's not, it doesn't sound like a gun show in my stall.
Well, I'm not saying it sounds like that. Sometimes, you know, there's-
So you're going in and you're just praying that it doesn't sound like a World War II reenactment?
Well, it's not. Well, like I said, I only use public restrooms when it's like an absolute emergency. So like, I'll try to avoid them.
Absolute emergency's my middle name, baby.
I don't, I don't have a choice.
But like, you know, that's why it's like, I'm not, I'm not going in there, you know, you're, you're looking around, you're enjoying the wallpaper, and then you're taking a dump. Like, I'm there and I have to go now. So.
Yeah, I I could I could imagine, but this? If it was, you had like half or like single ply? And then if you wanted like the cottonell.
Some some upgraded shit.
Upgraded toilet paper, then I could understand it. It's like the like the phone, like the ads on your phone where it's just like. You get another life and jetpack joyride if you watch a thirty second ad of the king on King's Watch or whatever it's called.
That's specific.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, or it's just like, you know, I hate those ads, but that I would understand.
I do want to say this before we continue. Those ads during like phone games where they're purposefully, purpose for for for?
Purposefully losing the game?
Yeah, they're just like.
I could play this so much better. It makes you download it. I know that you fucking scientists out there.
You bitches.
You psychologists are like, if you make it, if you play it bad, they'll want to play it good.
It'll be like a boa, it'll be like a stick and stone and it'll be like. Advance a thousand years or minus ten years and they'll be like, oh, oh, minus ten years.
And then it turns into a sperm?
What is that about?
And then, yeah, I fucking hate you guys. And also, I'm pretty sure, don't get me, don't ask me why, but I'm pretty sure that's Russia that's making all those, okay? I'm pretty sure, don't ask me why, I have no grounds to stand on.
Well, this is a safe space to talk, okay? I downloaded one of those games once where it was just like. You know, like advance or like times for the amount of people in your little gang.
Or like the ones where it's like the zombies are running down this way and you have to like shoot them.
Yeah, and there's one big one just walk in.
I downloaded that game and then I immediately, it was just like. Agree to the terms of license, I deleted it because I was like, this is Russia. Don't ask me how or why.
What's Russia gonna do?
Well, you know what fucked me up? Do you remember that app that one summer it was like twenty sixteen or twenty nineteen? It went mega viral and it was like an app where you can like. Show what you would look like as an old person or like show.
And then someone was just like, this is Russia.
I think that was China.
China.
TikTok is China.
TikTok, uh, so I was just burnt from there.
I mean.
Everything is China and Russia.
They can have my information. I, I, what am I gonna do?
I mean, it's all out there anyways.
That's what I mean.
Everyone knows of Joe Santagato.
And they know you.
They know more you than me. Numbers don't lie. So if anyone, Rush is coming for you first.
And then me second. Damn. They'd probably be pumped with you. They'd be like, you could stay. We like you. Thank you. You can hang out with Vladimir. Take your shirt off.
Take your shirt off. What were we talking about before I got into the ads?
The toilet paper. Oh, before we got into the ads?
No, no, I mean like before the ad conversation about those games, the game ads.
Well, I was talking about like, if it was, if you had to watch an ad for like better quality toilet paper.
I would.
I would do that.
I, I think that we should eliminate the first and second tier of toilet paper and just go with the better ones now. Like, there's no reason for me to be anywhere in a toilet. Yeah, but like, what is?
I don't understand why, but like, you have to spend money on toilet paper. Like, it seems like it is a basic sanitary need.
I mean, people are, you know, they have to be paid, the ones who are making it.
That should be a government subsidiary. Like, that should be, they should be funded for like, general.
Hey, man.
I know, I know, I know.
Everything should be.
I know, I know, I know, but I'm saying like, the way that like, can you use like, SNAP benefits or E, is it EBT?
Yeah, SNAP and.
SNAP and EBT, right?
I assume.
Can you use that for toilet paper?
We don't need to look that up. I mean, I, I would hope, because like, that's a basic sanitary need.
Yeah, I just don't see the, uh, I don't see why we need very thin toilet paper in this world.
Dude.
I know that some are like, alright, this is like, I'm wiping my ass with a Tempur-Pedic blanket in here. Like, this is crazy.
There's some, uh, this is TikTok account, and it's this guy, and he's like, these are little luxuries. They're luxuries that are like a couple, they're more expensive, but they're not like, hyper luxury things. Good toilet paper is one of those things that I just can't. Bro, I grew up with my mom getting Scotts. Toilet paper. No offense to scots, you're doing a good thing, you're making it cheaper for people that need it. But I could literally hold it and see through it.
Like I'm wiping my ass with fucking tissue wrapping.
Yeah, I gotta, I gotta crumble this thing up like I'm making a.
If I can put it over a picture in a fucking coloring book of Tweety Bird and draw it perfectly, then we got a problem.
We have an issue here.
I use scots. You scots? I actually think I have scots in my apartment too.
They make them like now like ribbed for your pleasure and shit like you got it, you got some here that's got some squiggles in it and stuff like that.
None of them are ribbed.
No, they have ribbed toilet paper.
Ribbed?
Ribbed. Ribbed, brother. Show them ribbed toilet paper. I've used it and it kinda does its job. I mean, you think about like, the, the reason that we're able to pick up goods and items.
What does it feel like though?
It feels like it's like gripping my asshole, like.
And you like it?
Well, just because it does a good job.
Yeah, but.
I don't like it because, oh, you think I'm sitting there fucking fingering my ass on the toilet?
I'm not, I'm not, I'm saying you're wiping. I don't know.
No, it's like, that's why we have ridges and fingerprints because that's what helps us grip. If it's completely smooth, it's gonna fucking fly off your bung.
Off your bung?
Look, yeah, char, char, it's charred or cut?
Oh, I've used that before. I mean, it's not like ribbed.
No, brother, that is ribbed. That's just paper towels.
It's really more this one, right? Yeah?
That's the rib.
Yeah, I've used that before.
That's what I'm talking about. I got some of that industrial shit. Cause when I worked on my college campus, it was like the toilets in the dorm rooms were like industri, they had like the industrial holder.
So like you could buy your own, but then they had the ones that it's like the big plastic one that like you have to like open with a key and put in a roll that's this big.
Oh, those were horrible.
I mean, they did their job though, brother.
I know, but I don't, I don't like that.
I still have a roll of them. I took like eight when I left college 10 years ago and I still have like one left.
No throw out?
No, why would I throw it out? It's a perfectly good roll of toilet paper.
Being able to hoard a piece of toilet pa, a, a roll of toilet.
It is in my car right now.
In your car?
Yeah. God forbid I go somewhere and they don't have toilet paper. I, I'm prepared.
That's insane.
Why is that insane?
And you also moved it from your old car to your new car, cause you have a new car.
Did you do that at the dealership before you gave your car? And like, "Hold on, let me get this giant roll of toilet paper."
No, I did it at my house.
Have you used the toilet paper?
Not in, like, six, seven years.
I mean, that's, oh, that's not true. I spilled, I told you, that day I came in and I had a big stain on my shirt because of Burger King.
I used it then.
You know, but no, I haven't, like, wiped my ass.
Is it, like, in your backseat?
Oh, it's on my, like, you know how, like, you could see out your rearview mirror and you see out the back windshield?
It's right behind, it's right on there where the headrest is, like, behind the headrest.
What? Behind your head in the car?
Is a roll of ten-year-old toilet paper that you stole from college?
Stole is, they gave it to me.
The janitorial staff gave it to me.
So if I'm sitting in your car, and I'm sitting behind the driver's seat, I am four inches away...
From getting knocked out with industrial-grade toilet paper, yes. That is correct, sir.
That's so funny. That's so crazy.
I mean, it's like the people that always carry, like, baby wipes on them.
Very different.
I don't think that's different at all.
Industrial-grade roll of toilet paper or a...
What is the difference in what the item physically is? What is the difference?
More practical use.
I think one of those, I mean, significantly...
And one's, like, portable.
That is fair.
Resealable.
That is fair. But you don't need to seal dry paper. You need to seal those because they're moist.
Moist toilet.
Moist toilet. Oh, there, there's a certain select of pick-me's that watch our episode, they're just like, "Eh."
Oh, moist. You know what I don't get at, like, nice restaurants and, like, on, on Delta flights?
Oh, it's such a little luxury.
They, they're like, "Here's your hot towel."
Your steaming hot towel.
Yo, they got hot towels on Delta. Hot towels on Delta.
Listen, I'm a United boy, I fly United all the time, they got some hot towels, dude.
Really?
And they're, they're cushiony, and they're thick. And these things come out and it's, oh...
You put it on your face?
I do a little.
I put it on my cheek sometimes.
I, I do.
I'm too afraid to cover my face.
I do. Oh.
You do that?
Oh, yeah.
That feels crazy.
It feels awesome.
But like, think about how many people have used that towel.
Me. That's why they steam them, to sanitize them, you fuck.
I know. You fuck. I know, but I'm just thinking about like, so many people had this on their face.
Yeah, but they've been sanitized. Sure, sure, sure. It's, it's like, they are, they are good. They're basically new for what I'm using them for.
Well, like, why do I need my hands hot?
I don't know. The first time that happened to me, I was like, sixteen years old at Yankee Stadium, and I went to the New York Yankee Steakhouse. And I was there and I was just like, oh my god. And someone, I sat in like, a big leather chair, to eat dinner, which was crazy.
Yeah, what?
At the time.
What are you, Goldilocks?
And then they gave me a, like, a hot towel like that. And I felt so like,
What do I do?
Yeah. You know? I felt so like...
When you go, when you have like, your first fancy restaurant, uh, and like, those types of experiences, it's, you know, you kinda fuck it up. I remember one time I was at a restaurant, and, and they, I ordered a steak, and they brought it over. And they were just like, "Look."
Like, before they cooked it, and I was like, I don't,
Yeah, that's the steak.
What am I looking for?
That's the steak. I remember that happened at, in Vegas, when we, we were like, twenty-three in Vegas. And they were like, "We brought over the cart of steaks to show you all the cuts." And I was just like, "This is awesome, dude."
Yeah, I, at that point in my life, I was like, "Steak."
And then I like, went to like, Texas Roadhouse, and I was like, "Oh, that one has great marbling, Texas Roadhouse." "I'll take the second one from the bottom, Texas Roadhouse."
The guy's like, "Okay, dude."
Yeah, the guy's like, "Just point and tell me."
You know? Yeah, I love those little luxuries that like, nice, like, that's obviously a huge perk of like, us going to these cities for these shows. We get to eat at some really good restaurants. And like, the little like, you know, like, I went to a wine tasting once, and they gave you the little like, things to suck on to like, cleanse your palate. You ever had that?
What little things?
It's like a little oyster, it looks like an oyster cracker. And like, the idea is you're supposed to put it in your mouth, and like, suck on it, and it cleanses your palate, so you're ready for the next round of wine.
I've never experienced that at all.
A lot of people do like, uh,
Sorbets?
Sorbets, like a raspberry sorbet or something like that.
Ooh.
Prefer a little cracker.
You prefer a cracker?
Prefer a cracker. Daddy wants a cracker.
Jesus.
Speaking of, I don't know why this is speaking of, I sent Ant a quiz because I got, I know the, it's very confusing that it led here. But I saw Captain Crunch and I stared at the box for five minutes and I was like, yo, that's not Captain Crunch. It looked fake to me. So I, I sent Ant-
They rebranded him?
I sent Ant one of those like Mandela effect quizzes.
The reason it got me there is because it's the parrot, daddy want a cracker, Captain Crunch.
Got it, got it, got it.
So I want to just test how many of us can act, like what we could do.
I bet you I do well at this. By the way, I'm looking at this picture of Captain Crunch and I would love some.
Dude, Captain Crunch is coming back because they're getting rid of all the fake dies and shit like that? Your, your hero RFK Junior really like, he kinda like set us, he set us forward with some stuff. I mean that by your own words.
I love Captain Crunch, but I can, here's the thing. I can have three bowls of fruity pebbles. I can only have one box, one bowl of Captain Crunch because my mouth comes out like someone took a cheese grater and face fucked me.
I don't even fucking care dude. Sign me up for two.
Cut my mouth in half, yeah.
So what is it? Is it Captain Crunch or Cap'n Crunch?
It is very clearly Cap'n Crunch. Like very clearly.
Like not, no Cap'n?
No. It was never Captain Crunch.
Like yo, you're skibbity Cap'n right now.
I don't know why they went with this, like why they decided to do that. Also, what's with the Quaker Oats guy on the fucking other box?
That's probably who owned it. I could see Captain Crunch was like when they first got, when they first came out in like this seventies. It's like, this is Captain Crunch.
Yeah, I don't get it. Why Cap'n Crunch? But that's, that's clearly it.
Okay, good, good, good. You got it good. I'm surprised.
We're fine, we're fine here.
What is Jigsaw's signature line in the Saw movies? Ah, see this is the-
It's a-
I did for a second think this was all about cereal because of the lineup-
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
And then-
Also, what, what, he has a name.
I know, and don't, don't-
Oh, Jigsaw's the old guy.
It's Jigsaw's the old guy, that is like Bethany or some shit like that.
I'm 84% sure it's Billy.
I think it's Billy the Puppet, yes, you are correct. Speaking of puppets!
Oh, we're back on puppets! That was another episode, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. Go, scroll down. "I wanna play a game, do you wanna play a game, wanna play a game."
How many of these movies have you seen realistically?
One.
Two! I've seen all of them.
Which is the one with the, I fall, uh, the, not me, but someone fell into a pit of syringes?
Yeah, that's the second one.
So, that's the last one I saw.
That was Amanda, who was thrown in by, I believe, Frankie.
Hey.
That's right.
Um, I think it's-
It's the first movie I got kicked out of trying to sneak in and see. Saw II, 2004.
How far'd you get?
Uh, 30 seconds.
Is it "I wanna play a game"?
I think it's "Do you wanna play a game"?
It's definitely not "wanna".
It might be, cuz he's kinda, he's kind of a little badass Billy, he's like, "Yo, listen, you wanna fucking play? You fucking douchebag!"
Do you think it's "Do you want"?
I think it's- "Do you wanna play a game? Wanna play a game?" It might be "wanna".
"Wanna, wanna, wanna play a game with Billy the Puppet"?
I think this is like a fucking Star Wars thing, you remember when the, the line-
Well, that one I know, Inside and Out, it's "No, I am your father."
Which is shocking, but, I think, I'm, I'll go with Frank for the sake, but I think it's "I want to play a game" for some reason.
"I want to play a game." No, cuz they're asking the person if they wanna play. He's asking the person.
So, what's the-
I, I think it's-
"Do you, do you, do you"?
I think, mm, I think it might be-
You think it's "wanna"?
"Wanna play a game"?
Alright, we're getting this wrong. But "wanna play a game".
"Wanna"?
I fucking knew it!
Ah.
I knew it!
Alright, alright, uh-oh!
It was "I want to play a game".
Alright, I should probably rely on Joey's skills here.
Love Saw movies, I had that in the, in the locked.
Yep.
Which is the correct name of this correction fluid? This is wide out.
Well, what are the answers?
Also, that's the worst-
Oh!
Um, oh, um, it's, it's "I-T-E".
I think the only-
Which is both-
No, no, no, no. The only way, the only reason I think it's W H I T E is because that color looks more right than the color on the left. I agree with you. The more like orangey looks more correct than the yellow. I agree with you, but I'm, I'm like, pretty sure it's W I T E. I just gotta say,
whiteout was, having cool whiteout in elementary school was such a flex, dude. Yeah. If you had the one that had the sponge on it, or if you were one of the kids Oh. that had the tape. The tape sucks! The whiteout tape sucks! Dude, the Asian kids always had the tape. They always had the tape. They always had the tape and they had the cool- Why did the Asian kids always have the fucking tape? Because they have cool, bro, you know they have like stationary awards in, in Japan? What does that even mean? It's like they give out awards every year to like the coolest stationary items. I've seen TikToks. I, the sponge, that is the fucking worst, though. Yeah, and then it's like raised, it's like- Yeah, you got like a raised bump on your page, like it's like sickly with like- It's like bubbling up? Yeah, ew, it's like- My test has lupus!
Get this sick fucking leper, leprosy paper out of here. Leprosy is what I was going for, not lupus, that's a completely different thing. Alright, I'm gonna, I will give, I will defer to your choice here. I think it's W H I T E, but I'll defer to what Joey's saying. I think it's W I T E. Gimme that. Gimme the tight, tight, tight, yes! Ah! Good job. Very good job. Let's go. Let's go. Think I don't know why not. The color did look right, though. I was right about the color. Pick the correct Target logo. Frank, I'm not even going to even look at the screen. Yeah, I mean, guys, it's the left. It's the left. It's the left one, we know that. It's, it's not even close. Come on. Yeah, come on, listen. Who the hell's picking the right? I spent more time in a Target than most humans on this planet. Hmm. I'm, I'm not saying that as a flex. What is the actual airline?
It's Alaska Airlines. Oh. Oh, or Alaskan. Oh. Alaska? I gotta say, I don't know what it is about the name Alaska or Alaskan Airlines, I feel safer on their planes than I do anywhere else. I feel like the AC is really good. I feel like they know what, they've got it down, because like if a state has their own planes, they're onto something. I'm gonna say Alaskan Airlines because of American Airlines. Be honest, if you saw airplane from a certain state, which would be the scariest?
Florida.
Yeah, okay, at least we're in agreement there.
I'm gonna say Alaskan.
Alaskan Airlines? I think, there are, technically already is a Florida airline, it's called Spirit.
Jesus. Uh, I'm gonna say Alaskan.
I'll, I'll say Alaskan as well.
Come on, give it to me, baby.
This one feels like a trap.
And it was.
It was a trap.
Fuck you!
He was right.
Alaska.
Ant was right. Alaska Airlines! Alaska!
That's a tough one.
Ooh. Which is the correct logo for the Laughing Cow?
Oh, oh, it's the nose, specifically.
I'll be honest with you, I don't, I don't know what this is. Oh, it's the Baby Bell cheeses, like the little, the little cheeses that like you open up. I love those, dude, those are a nice little snack.
Are these not the red?
There's different brands, there's Laughing Cow and Baby Bell.
Um, I don't know if she's got a nose ring, I imagine Peta would be pissed about that, did you hear Peta got pissed at Mario Kart?
For what?
Because the, uh, yeah, don't get Ant started, if you go for his Mario Kart, he'll go for your jugular.
So dumb.
Um, cuz the, the cow in, it's Mumu the Cow in Mario Kart, has that ring in its nose, and it was like an inhumane way to like steer cows at the time.
Oh, was pulling by their nose?
That's why they have that?
Yeah, so, they, Peta was just like, yo, better, do better, Mario Kart.
Uh, then, that makes me think that it has the nose ring.
That makes me think it doesn't.
But that was a new thing that just happened, no?
Oh, I'm sure if they went after Mario Kart, there's someone else they've gone after before, Peta just goes for everyone.
Alright, let's go no ring.
I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the gold scheme here, the gold color scheme, doesn't fit.
Yeah, I don't think anyone cares about your fanhood. You're gonna have to click.
I, I just promise.
You're gonna have to click again, you're gonna have to, probably, yeah, we go!
Told ya.
It's alright. I'm sure Peta was just like-
The cheese lives another day.
Where do you stand on animal rights, Laughing Cow cheese?
How do you spell this saint's name? Now that is Mother Teresa.
But there's an H, or not?
There's no H.
I think there's no H because she was Italian, right? She was something. It was a Mama Teresa.
There's a lot of conspiracy around, around Mother Teresa, by the way.
Yeah, I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole.
A ten foot religious pole. I'm gonna say no H, just like Whiteout.
I'll go with that, yeah. No H.
Come on, Mother Teresa.
Teresa.
Yeah, Mother Teresa.
Ayah.
What is the correct name of this entertainment center or restaurant?
I'm sad that the two that you are definitely.
Chuck E. Cheese, bro. It's not Chuck and Cheese. I'll flip my table.
They both say Chuck E. Cheese. It says Chuck E. Cheeses or Chuck E. Cheese.
Yeah, if it was like, what's right Chuck E. Cheese or Chunk and Cheese?
I'm gonna say the left.
I'm gonna say left because of the logo.
Yeah, the logo is definitely right.
I've never seen the logo on the right.
And Chuck E. Cheese is like, that's his name, but this is Chuck E. Cheeses.
He takes ownership. It's his place, dude. Like, it's Freddie Fazbear's, not Freddie Fazbear.
You know, that's a FNAF reference for the kids. I'm trying to get the younger generation into, our younger demo can get a little, get them in here. Let's talk FNAF. Let's talk, let's talk, uh, uh, uh, let's talk Foxy and Chica.
Okay, let's talk Mr., uh, what's his name? The Cupcake? Mr. Cupcake?
I know Bonnie.
Bonnie, obviously. Foxy, Chica.
What's happening here?
You know, I know all this stuff because I'm cool with the FNAF crowd because of my son has taught me.
This one? Chuck E. Cheeses. Bang. This quiz is fucking sucks. We're crushing.
I just want to say the two I was confident in were Target and Chuck E. Cheese. What does that say about me?
Right. What color of Tony the Tiger, wait, what? What is the color of Tony the Tiger mascot? I mean, dude.
What's the difference?
How is there a different thing going on? The nose, a blue nose.
Um, I don't know! Wait a sec. I think it might be Blue Nose. They gotta add a little pop. Yeah, blue looks, because there's, here's the thing, there's detail on that blue nose. Yeah. You could see the nostrils. That's why I think, listen, me and Tony Tiger. I love, I love Frosted Flakes. Honestly, they are great is just such a simple, like, yeah dude, he's not beating around the bush, Tony the Tiger. Just do it, they're great, blue fucking nose. Also, a tiger in a bandana, just a cool image. Tigers, awesome. Bandanas, cool. Sugary cereal, also cool. Frosted Flakes also regarded as a top five all time. We could argue. Blue nose? Yeah. Absolutely.
Thank you, Ant.
A couple clicks.
I mean, we saw, we heard. We're not gonna get another one wrong. I think, I'm pretty sure we, we do better than like, the normal person on this. Fucking go. Does Morpheus from The Matrix say? What if I told you? I, I, I probably shouldn't. What, what if I told you everything you knew was a lie?
Oh, does Morpheus say that?
Does he say it? I'll, I, Frank, this is gonna be for you, cuz I, I haven't seen The Matrix in 20 years. Here's the thing, if they're asking if he says it, then it's not that he says it that way, it's that he says it an- another way, like, instead, it wouldn't be like, what if I told you everything you knew was a lie, it would be like, what if I said, everything is a lie? Like, that, they would fuck with the wording like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think just playing the game here. Process of elimination. I think I'm gonna say, no, he doesn't say that, and it's like, no, actually, he says this. Yeah, I agree. It'll pop up and be like, no, he says, what if I told you everything was a lie, but he doesn't say whatever. Or, everything was not true. Yeah. Bang, what does he say? All those memes were a lie, that wasn't even such a line in the movie. There you go. Oh, well, there you go. What the fuck?
Oh, there was just, that just wasn't there.
They just made it up. What does Henry VIII hold in his famous portrait? What the fuck? Fuck.
What is that? Chi- a turkey leg or gloves? What is that? Well, he's, he looks, he looks like a fat ass. So...
Here's why I'm gonna say turkey leg. Because it was like-
That's not a turkey leg, is it?
It says turkey leg.
Oh shit!
In the words.
Here's the thing. Here's why I'm gonna say turkey leg.
Being-
It was a status thing to have money and be fat back then. That meant you had access to food and you were wealthy.
So... I think it's a turkey leg.
I think I'm going turkey leg too.
It just feels like the glove looks really good in this picture.
Like it makes more sense?
Yeah, also, this feels like a thing where they would put the glove, but then the people make fun of them, you know, would like put a turkey leg in there.
Ah, that's a good point. Also, let's talk about the shadow on, like, below the turkey leg. It's not big enough, but it fits perfectly for the glove.
That's what I'm saying.
I feel like it's more believable that it would be gloves though, so that's why I think it's a turkey leg.
This is an impasse, is what we call it in the news.
Well, you're a newscaster now?
I don't know. Turkey leg?
Sure. It's like, "God damn gloves!"
Alright.
We fell for the meme. The thing just says, "Why would he hold a turkey leg?"
What is the correct logo for Volkswagen?
Oh, I know this one.
Ohhh, I think it's-
It's the Gap.
It is?
I don't know. Yeah, it's the Gap.
Alright, I'll believe you, I'll believe you, I'll believe you.
It's definitely the Gap. It's 100% the Gap. It's a Gap. Thank you!
You 100%ed that one.
Yeah, 100% the Gap.
That's a crazy-
You gotta have the Gap.
What is the predominant color on Uncle Sam's hat?
That's a fantastic question.
I have to see, oh, fuuuck.
Blueuuuuuuh, red.
I wanna say blue looks more natural, though.
It does.
By the way... I gotta say...
Maybe at the time it worked? Who is this working for nowadays? An old white man dressed like this pointing at me? I'm just immediately saying, "Fuck whatever you're about to say or ask me for."
Yeah, like fucking, oh, Ebenezer Scrooge wants me to go to war? I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, fuck you. Do you go to war, you scaly old bastard?
Gimme, gimme blue. Guy looks like Lemony Snicket. Definitely blue.
Doesn't look like Lemony Snicket. You're thinking Count Olaf, Joey. Jesus Christ.
I am thinking Count Olaf. I don't know who Lemony Snicket is.
The creator, I think.
He's the author of the books.
Alright, I'm thinking Count Olaf. Looks like Count Olaf. Gimme blue, baby. Gimme blue. Show me blue, baby. Yeah!
I think we're gonna do like, pretty well.
What's the name of the singer? That is Barbara.
Barbra Streisand.
Barbara.
Come on, first of all, hold on.
Barbara? Or Barbara?
It's not gonna be Bar-bra, like a bra.
Bruh. It's Barra, Barbara.
No, I don't know.
Yeah, it's Barbara. Unless she spelled her name wrong.
Also, Becca and I like bonded over this, like I, I have the Barbra Streisand Christmas album.
Fire.
And it's his, like, but it's also so chaotic, and I remember thinking it was funny, and then Becca was like, "That was a joke with my family too." Soulmate.
Soulmate.
Just say that.
Soulmates over Barbra Streisand.
So you have the album, do you remember?
How it's spelled?
Her name on it?
I wanna say it's Barbara.
I think it's Barbara.
It's gotta be. Give me Barbara.
What the hell, Barbara?
People remember seeing Barbara on the album cover, "Oh, they caught ya," but it's definitely Barbara.
That's crazy, she spelled it wrong.
She spelled it wrong.
Her parents, her parents.
What is the correct name of this peanut butter brand? Jif.
It's Jif.
It's Jif. It's not even close.
It's not even, yeah, it's not even, yeah.
Let's not get crazy.
Come on, baby. How stupid do you think we are?
We're gonna run through this now.
Does C-3PO have a silver leg?
No. Absolutely not!
Yeah, he does.
No, he doesn't.
If I rem- oh.
No, he does not.
Isn't it red?
His arm was red in a later movie, he has a silver leg.
Alright, say yes, I believe Frank, I, I, I'm not confident in anything. My whole life is a lie now, I can't believe that, I would've never said that. Silver leg. Cruella De Vil.
Cruella D... Vil.
Yeah, De Vil, she's like a French, French, she's got French.
Yo, what a bitch, by the way.
A fucking asshole bitch!
Yo, like, it's a kid's movie, and this woman just wants to skin puppies.
Like, what's wrong with you, bro, how many coats do you need, Cruella De Vil? Also, yo... Mad pointy, son.
Yo, mad, and then also they made like an origin movie for Cruella with Emma Stone and they're just like, look, she was a victim. Bro, this bitch went on to wanna skin puppies.
Yeah, like, I'm good on this.
What are you doing, dude? Cruella, you're a bitch.
Maybe look in the mirror and realize that half-black and half-white hair isn't cool, and that's why you're upset, not the dog.
You know what show is so fire? I don't know if you watched it, cuz you were more a Disney Channel kid than like a Cartoon Network kid, right?
Do you remember after school and like middle school, it was like, we'd get home and it was recess, the show on, and then the next one was like The House of Villains?
And it was like, all like Disney villains, like hanging out at like a, like a, like a jazz club. Like, the fucking monster from Fantasia was in the corner, like, smoking a cigar.
Nice.
And Cruella de Vil was like, having a cocktail with Gaston.
It was a cool show. And then it got into like even Stevens and, you know, like the cooler shows, like That's So Raven. But that was a cool show.
Love. That was the reason why you brought that up?
Hmm?
Oh. Love That's So Raven. It's, uh, it's the bottom one.
Hey now, what I say now, bout to put it down, yeah, come on and ride with the rainhound, and if the future looks gray now, then everything gonna shake down, and let's rock.
He'll never forget that.
Here's the results, baby. I think we crushed that. Fuck you. Skip to the results.
Skip, we gotta skip.
Thirteen out of seventeen? That's not bad. We're, we're partying with the Wedding Crashers!
It's a great movie.
That is a great movie. There's some questionable stuff in it, but you know what? It's still, it's still funny.
Seventy-six percent, which is passing in my high school, and, you know that, just made it.
Yeah, that was over, that was like B minus in my high school. Which told you what you wanted to know about Brian.
Not bad. That's a pretty good memory that we have on us.
There's so many of those examples, like you, you brought up the Star Wars one, like, the, the, people think the line is, Luke, I am your father, where it's just like, no, I am your father.
It's just, you know, it's word of mouth, things out of hand.
Yeah, there's so many examples of those things, especially with like movies and music and all that.
Right, the Nelson Mandela effect, yeah.
The Nelson, why do they call it?
I think it's named after him, if I'm not mistaken.
Of all the things to name after him, why that?
Um, I don't wanna be wrong on that, so we're gonna have to look that up for sure.
Yeah, not, not a lot, not a lot of room for error when it comes to talking about. Activist.
Why do they call it the Mandela Effect?
Uh, because of false memory phenomenon surrounding the death of Nelson Mandela.
Gotcha.
