  Welcome back to the basement.

• 0:32Speaker 02

  Welcome back to the basement yard. Frank, how's it going bud? He's upset, and you upset?

• 0:38Speaker 03

  I couldn't be more upset.

• 0:39Speaker 02

  We're all upset because YouTube is being a little bit, a little, you know...

• 0:45Speaker 04

  Homophobic, say it.

• 0:46Speaker 02

  Say it, well, just be careful.

• 0:47Speaker 04

  You're pointing at me, you saw that point? Shit, yes, no!

• 0:51Speaker 03

  Damn, you actually did.

• 0:52Speaker 04

  And this counts in addition to... So for those of you guys that don't know, if you're seeing this, you're probably a little confused. You're probably doing the old-timey, like, cleaning of the eyes thing that they did back in the old cartoons. This is attached to an episode that we previously recorded. Yes, we're wearing different outfits. Joe is also, what you don't see, he's wearing a butt plug. Why? Because we have to revisit the conversation of heated rivalry.

• 1:14Speaker 02

  That's not why I'm... Wait, hold on, I'm not wearing it.

• 1:17Speaker 04

  Wearing it? Like, you have one?

• 1:19Speaker 02

  We have to, we have to, no.

• 1:20Speaker 03

  They also technically don't know we're wearing different clothes yet.

• 1:23Speaker 02

  That's true. We had to record the beginning of this episode again because we put out an episode talking about heated rivalry, and we watched the first... Well, I watched two episodes, and they watched the first episode, so we all were getting an idea of the show, and we started reviewing it because that's what people wanted, and we put it out on YouTube for our patrons a week ahead, and it just kept getting age-restricted.

• 1:44Speaker 04

  Yes, why? Because YouTube was just like, "Hold on." They were twirling their mustache. I imagine Big YouTube has a twirly mustache. And they were just like, "What are they talking about?"

• 1:56Speaker 02

  About?

• 1:57Speaker 04

  We gotta make sure they don't pander this to, to the youngest, to their defense. It was a pretty graphically discussed episode.

• 2:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, they, they were probably right.

• 2:05Speaker 04

  I, I will take full blame. Uh, I think that I Didn't hold back on the review. You, you, you, you are the Hollander in this situation.

• 2:16Speaker 02

  No.

• 2:17Speaker 04

  The blame, if the blame is

• 2:19Speaker 02

  No, he was, he was the Russian guy.

• 2:21Speaker 04

  Ilya, you are Hollander and you gotta take it. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.

• 2:24Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh. Right.

• 2:27Speaker 04

  I have to take the blame. Um, but yeah, so we're The long shaft of the blame. Right. Be careful.

• 2:33Speaker 02

  Be please.

• 2:34Speaker 04

  But we, we have to rediscover it so we can put it in this episode. Uh, but we don't want to throw out the episode completely. So we're just gonna redo our review of Heated Rivalry because last time it got a little too hot, a little too heated.

• 2:47Speaker 02

  Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

• 2:48Speaker 04

  Uh, and, uh, so we, we're gonna just be careful about the way that we

• 2:52Speaker 02

  By the way, hot in the language that we used, we didn't get like hot and bothered, or at least I didn't over here. I think I can confirm you didn't. He seemed to get a little hot and bothered.

• 3:00Speaker 04

  He seemed to get a little, H and B.

• 3:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:04Speaker 04

  H and B.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  He's like, and then they were doing this, and then they were doing, and then they were

• 3:08Speaker 04

  So you guys will never be able to cross-reference this because now this is Basement Yard lost media.

• 3:12Speaker 02

  Oh, so now Frank's gonna just lie.

• 3:13Speaker 04

  So now Joey was sweating and he opened his chest midway through the conversation.

• 3:18Speaker 02

  Opened my chest.

• 3:19Speaker 04

  Like his shirt. You like zipped your quarter zip Down, you know, how's that catamaran he just got off of?

• 3:28Speaker 04

  No.

• 3:28Speaker 02

  No.

• 3:29Speaker 04

  No, all right.

• 3:29Speaker 02

  Well.

• 3:30Speaker 04

  But he was just like, he, he was doing this. Like an old timey racist southern woman, you know what I'm talking about? You know what I'm talking about? Just like, that's what you were doing. So

• 3:40Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 3:41Speaker 04

  There, there's no way to, there is no way

• 3:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:44Speaker 04

  To cross-reference what we're saying.

• 3:46Speaker 02

  It's fine, but we watched the first episode of Heated Rivalry and now, uh, You know, time has passed. I watched a lot more of it and now I know what happens in this first season.

• 3:57Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 3:58Speaker 02

  Yeah. So I have an idea. I'm not gonna spoil the entire thing. Don't worry. I mean, we're definitely gonna spoil the first episode and probably the second one. Um, but like, we're gonna spoil a little bit of that, but

• 4:07Speaker 04

  We also need to talk about it in a way that we are, uh, allowing our Video overlords to accept, you know, we gotta, we gotta, you know, we gotta get around this so they don't unalive us. You know what I'm saying?

• 4:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:23Speaker 04

  We need to make sure that we're using the right terminology so big YouTube doesn't take the, as you were saying, the long shaft of blame and giving it to you again.

• 4:34Speaker 02

  Right. Careful, careful. And just you're walking on thin ice.

• 4:37Speaker 04

  I think if anything, first of all, skating on ice, hockey.

• 4:42Speaker 02

  Now we're here, baby.

• 4:43Speaker 04

  Now we're here, now we're here.

• 4:44Speaker 02

  Well, let's just, let's just go for it. Heated rivalry. I knew going in that this show was G A, G A Y. And it gets really off to a good start immediately.

• 4:56Speaker 04

  Well, so people told us to watch the show, which we openly, we openly were just like, hold on a sec, like, take a step back.

• 5:05Speaker 02

  Right.

• 5:05Speaker 04

  You know, like, we get that the internet is like fully shipping us, but we were like,

• 5:13Speaker 02

  wow, are we proud of Frank or what? And I just pointed, fuck. Oh, cursing. But I'm proud of you for knowing that, that terminology.

• 5:21Speaker 04

  That's old, that's a, that's a, that's a term as old as time.

• 5:25Speaker 02

  Don't ruin it.

• 5:26Speaker 04

  Yeah. But they were just like, you guys have to watch this. And we were both like, before we recorded that Patreon episode, we were just like,

• 5:34Speaker 02

  Why did they want?

• 5:35Speaker 04

  Why, like, they really are like, really driving this home. But Joey, after that episode, he came to Ant 9, he was like,

• 5:43Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 5:44Speaker 04

  He popped his collar on his, you know, Vineyard Vines quarter zip.

• 5:49Speaker 02

  Vineyard Vines.

• 5:51Speaker 04

  Columbia, hey, I wore one, you wore one. And he was like, let's watch it, give the people what they want.

• 5:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, give them a nice review.

• 5:58Speaker 04

  Initial reviews.

• 6:00Speaker 02

  Yes. Yes.

• 6:01Speaker 04

  Uh, how do I, how do we, how do we make sure we, we, we kinda?

• 6:05Speaker 02

  I wanna say. I thought that there would be more of a warm up. Before we got to.

• 6:13Speaker 04

  You thought that they had to make the call to the bullpen before they just started pitching?

• 6:17Speaker 02

  Well, okay.

• 6:20Speaker 03

  I thought we would see a slapshot of something first.

• 6:26Speaker 04

  I mean, before you get a slapshot, you need a wrist shot, I think, is what you're referencing. I know hockey.

• 6:30Speaker 03

  No, that's not, that's not how that would happen.

• 6:32Speaker 02

  Too much references now, it's, it's not gonna be a review.

• 6:35Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 6:35Speaker 02

  We're not gonna know what we're talking about.

• 6:36Speaker 03

  What I meant was.

• 6:37Speaker 04

  Cause I'm confused by what you're saying.

• 6:38Speaker 03

  What I meant was, I thought we would see hockey first, to some extent, before like a kiss.

• 6:43Speaker 02

  Well, I did see it before like a kiss.

• 6:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:47Speaker 04

  Well, you need a wine and dine, Ann. He's a little like, you need to, you need to take him out for, and then he'll order the lobster.

• 6:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, there's a lot of sexual tension between the two main characters and they're, in my eyes, they kind of like signify Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin. Now imagine those two dudes were getting in love in the NHL in 2008. Like they had like Blackberries in the show.

• 7:08Speaker 04

  Yes, I think we, what we said in our initial review, as people that grew up in that time, that was the, we were, we were 16 years old when the show, when the first episode is set. Because I understand that there are some time jumps. What a tough time to, to be.

• 7:24Speaker 02

  To be gay in hockey.

• 7:25Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean.

• 7:26Speaker 02

  Anywhere.

• 7:27Speaker 04

  Anywhere. Let's make that abundantly clear.

• 7:29Speaker 02

  But professional sports.

• 7:30Speaker 04

  Definitely in professional sports, because I don't think at that point in time, there had been any openly gay athletes.

• 7:36Speaker 02

  I'm not sure.

• 7:37Speaker 04

  I think Michael Sam was the first. But that, that wasn't until like 2010, 2011?

• 7:42Speaker 02

  Wow, I thought it was after that, but I don't know.

• 7:45Speaker 04

  Regardless. We understand what it was like, because back then, you know, we've openly said like, you know, you use hand lotion?

• 7:54Speaker 02

  Your friends will call you gay.

• 7:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, you know, you, you, you, you, you like girls, you know, you're a romantic. That was gay too, back in 2000.

• 8:01Speaker 02

  Apparently that's coming back as gay.

• 8:03Speaker 04

  Don't get me started because I-

• 8:04Speaker 02

  Simp? When people are like, "You like your girlfriend? You like your wife?" You're a simp.

• 8:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:09Speaker 02

  I'm like, "What am I supposed to do?"

• 8:10Speaker 04

  I don't get me started on it. You know how I feel about it. My brain melts down when I try to figure that out.

• 8:14Speaker 02

  God, I hate that.

• 8:15Speaker 04

  But, it, it really did like, you know, you're, you're seeing like the first episode, you're like, alright, it's like about an hour long, maybe like 50 minutes long, and you're like, maybe at the end, they'll do like a little like wink and nod to like, this is gonna be romantic.

• 8:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:29Speaker 04

  They, like, they, they got in there, like 12 minutes in.

• 8:33Speaker 02

  Oh, they're lustin'.

• 8:34Speaker 04

  They're, they're, and they're like-

• 8:36Speaker 02

  Lustin' and bustin'. Can we say that?

• 8:38Speaker 04

  No, I don't think, I-

• 8:39Speaker 02

  Be careful.

• 8:40Speaker 04

  Judges? Take that out!

• 8:44Speaker 04

  I think we're okay.

• 8:44Speaker 02

  No, that's fine.

• 8:45Speaker 04

  I think-

• 8:45Speaker 02

  LB, a little LB.

• 8:46Speaker 04

  A little LB.

• 8:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:47Speaker 04

  Yeah, and like the camera shots are like, like, it's like a shot like zooming in on like, a load of laundry, you know what I'm saying? Like not a literal load of laundry, like a male load of laundry.

• 9:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, oh.

• 9:01Speaker 04

  Well, sorry.

• 9:02Speaker 02

  Balls?

• 9:03Speaker 04

  Can we say that now?

• 9:04Speaker 02

  Oh, oh, oh, you're talking about a full bag?

• 9:06Speaker 04

  A full bag of laundry.

• 9:07Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:08Speaker 04

  A full bag of dumpster bag of laundry.

• 9:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 9:11Speaker 04

  You know?

• 9:12Speaker 02

  Let's be careful here.

• 9:13Speaker 04

  And like, the, like, they're like panting, like, there's that scene where they're like, they get to the, the, the gym and they're like, working out next to each other, and it's like, "Oh, yeah!", you know, and like, they're just working out.

• 9:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. And it's just like- Have you ever done that, by the way? Like, do you go to the gym and if someone's on the treadmill next to you, you're like, "I'm racing this guy"?

• 9:31Speaker 04

  Absolutely not.

• 9:32Speaker 02

  Really?

• 9:32Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, no way.

• 9:34Speaker 02

  I mean, I usually lose, but like, if someone gets on the treadmill next to me, I'm like, "I'm not getting off until they get off."

• 9:41Speaker 03

  It, it depends how many treadmills were around. If it's just me and them next to-

• 9:44Speaker 02

  No, it's whoever's right next to me.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  I just-

• 9:46Speaker 02

  I just meant like- I'll do it to a woman too, if she's there, I'm just like, "I'm not getting off until she gets off." And then I usually get off because I'm like, "I'm exhausted."

• 9:51Speaker 04

  I don't, I am so in my own zone, at, first of all, I hate cardio, so my only mentality doing cardio, I've told you guys this, is like, how much until this is done?

• 10:01Speaker 02

  Right, yeah.

• 10:01Speaker 04

  I need to get off here as quickly as I can.

• 10:03Speaker 02

  That's why I'm trying to create a competition, so maybe I'd stop focusing on that, and I'm like, "How fast is she going? I'm gonna go quicker", and then, and then I just burn out and I'm on the floor. But that happened to those guys, and they were on the floor across from each other, then they got some crotch shots going.

• 10:15Speaker 04

  They got crotch shots? I think, weren't they like sitting, like, open-legged? Like a praying mantis?

• 10:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They were like, almost scissoring from across the room.

• 10:26Speaker 04

  And then he was just like, "We can't say that!" They were doing arts and crafts.

• 10:30Speaker 02

  They were using scissors.

• 10:32Speaker 04

  They were doing arts and crafts.

• 10:34Speaker 02

  Playing rock, paper, scissors. Rock, paper, scissors.

• 10:36Speaker 04

  Rock, paper, scissors from across the room. And he's just like-

• 10:38Speaker 02

  There was tension was building though.

• 10:39Speaker 04

  He's like, "Take my water."

• 10:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:42Speaker 04

  And it was just like, "Whoa." And then he starts drinking it and he's just like, "More."

• 10:47Speaker 02

  And that's when you know, you're like, "This is, this episode?"

• 10:50Speaker 04

  I mean, we knew what it was. Could you imagine being like, um, like, uh, uh, uh, America is known for, the people in the South is where like, the open racists and homophobes are. Okay?

• 11:03Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 11:04Speaker 04

  That's where like, the open ones are. They're sprinkled everywhere, but you find them most.

• 11:09Speaker 02

  The phobes.

• 11:11Speaker 04

  And could you imagine being like, a seventy-year-old, just racist piece of shit? Because racism and homophobic tendencies tend to go hand in hand. Just like, "Well, I like hockey. I'm gonna watch this. He did robbery. It's about two, the two men playing a game."

• 11:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:30Speaker 04

  You know, play, and, and then you find out they're watching, that they're playing a game alright.

• 11:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, the game of love.

• 11:36Speaker 04

  The game of love. I will say this, and I said it before, I will continue to say it again. From what I saw from the episode, I thought it was well acted. I thought that-

• 11:45Speaker 02

  Are those, both those kids' first, like, job?

• 11:49Speaker 04

  You know, that's a really good que- I don't think-

• 11:51Speaker 02

  Maybe not their first job, but like, their first big-

• 11:53Speaker 04

  I, I think the dude that did, uh, that played Ilya, the Russian, I think he pl- like, was in other stuff, but nothing on the-

• 12:00Speaker 02

  The scale of that.

• 12:01Speaker 04

  The scale of this in terms of people talking about it.

• 12:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:04Speaker 04

  But, I thought it was well acted. I thought the story, from what I saw, was well done. You know, typical romance.

• 12:10Speaker 02

  I could tell you that, first of all, when I watched the first episode, I was like, "Damn, they're getting after it." But then like, I watched the second episode, um, also, I said this when we recorded it the first time, this is a real thing, but, I- Really, I really thought those episodes were 30 minutes. So it felt like they were flying by, but they were an hour long and I was like.

• 12:35Speaker 04

  Time flies, time flies when you're having a good time.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  It's got its hooks in me, I will say that.

• 12:39Speaker 04

  Oh yeah, it's got something else in you maybe.

• 12:41Speaker 02

  Don't, no, but it's, it's got its hooks in me for sure. Um, but then as the story progresses, you're like, oh, okay, this is like a, you can kind of see where it's going in the first two episodes, but when you watch the rest of it, you're like, this is, it's got its hooks in you, it's a feel-good thing.

• 12:57Speaker 04

  I'm gonna be a typical lefty and say like, you know, I love a good love story. You know, like, I, I, of course, like, there are certain things I can and can't connect to, but, I thought it was well done from what I saw, you know, I, I know that people have said like, continue watching, I haven't yet. Uh, uh, but it gets to a point where like, it continues the story and, and it is very much in the zeitgeist, people are talking about it, and I think people are talking about it because, it goes from zero to 60 in like, five seconds.

• 13:30Speaker 02

  Dude, and also like, the, the way the, the Russian dude is, he's, he's the Dom, like, he's Dom and, uh, what's his name? Hollander Russianly, and he, and the way that he sort of like, flirts at times, like, the text messages that he sends are hilarious.

• 13:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, cuz they text each other under a pseudonym.

• 13:51Speaker 02

  Jane and Lily.

• 13:52Speaker 04

  Jane and Lily, and people like, I think if they took all of five seconds to see that and figure it out, they'd put it together.

• 14:00Speaker 02

  Well, that was another thing, it's like, you're getting a text from Jane, and it's like, "Oh, we play Boston tonight, are you hard?" It's like, yeah.

• 14:09Speaker 02

  They're gonna know who that is, come on.

• 14:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:12Speaker 02

  But.

• 14:12Speaker 04

  Like, in between the sexual messaging, it's just like, like, very in-depth stuff about hockey, you know what I mean?

• 14:20Speaker 02

  Good luck in the playoffs, I'm jerking it right now.

• 14:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly.

• 14:24Speaker 04

  Just like getting

• 14:25Speaker 03

  We're getting excited, we're getting excited a little bit.

• 14:27Speaker 04

  I mute that, it's fine. Where's this thing at again? Oh, I'll take that out.

• 14:31Speaker 03

  Getting excited.

• 14:32Speaker 04

  Um, but yeah, it's like stuff like that, like those hilarious. But, yeah. Go ahead.

• 14:37Speaker 03

  I think I'd be remiss to not bring up the fact that how like bad Shane Hollander is at kinda like

• 14:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:44Speaker 03

  flirting and hiding it a little bit.

• 14:46Speaker 04

  Because I, I, I think that the story that I saw is that there is a sense of like, I'm finally being able to be myself, but I do need to restrict it to

• 14:55Speaker 03

  No, that's not what he means. I mean, when like other people.

• 14:58Speaker 04

  People are like, oh, yo, you, uh, your boy's on TV talking about the Russians. He's not my boy. What? He's not. He's like a middle schooler. We're not in love and kissing. Yeah. It's like, bro, be a little more coy here. Well, maybe that's part of the layering of the story. That he is not allowed to be at an emotional maturity level to deal with something like that because society at that time didn't allow people to be open enough to deal with that on their own. Oh, I like fucking Ebert Roper.

• 15:25Speaker 03

  I don't even know who that is. I know the name, but I don't know who that is.

• 15:27Speaker 02

  Did you say you ate something?

• 15:29Speaker 04

  What?

• 15:29Speaker 02

  Ebert Roper.

• 15:30Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 15:30Speaker 04

  I'm like Ebert and Roper. You thought that he said something? It was like, whoa, that's like I ate Roper?

• 15:35Speaker 02

  I don't, what is it?

• 15:38Speaker 04

  What is it?

• 15:39Speaker 02

  That?

• 15:40Speaker 03

  You wanna, you wanna?

• 15:41Speaker 04

  You don't know who Ebert, I think it's two people actually. I think it's like Roger Ebert and, and Mike Roper.

• 15:48Speaker 03

  But, Mike feels wrong, but.

• 15:50Speaker 04

  Mike is right. But they were like, uh, famous movie reviewing duo that would like.

• 15:55Speaker 03

  They.

• 15:56Speaker 04

  No, I think they're just, they were very good at breaking down symbolism and allegories in film.

• 16:00Speaker 02

  That's why I know those names. The Drake song, two thumbs up, Ebert and Roper.

• 16:06Speaker 04

  I was likening myself to the skills of Ebert and Roper.

• 16:10Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 16:10Speaker 04

  And saying that I was able to break it down because as you're sitting there and oogling and ogling and, and making, you know, oh my God, these guys are. Uh, baking a cake together.

• 16:23Speaker 02

  Yeah. They were, they looked like a Pisces at one time.

• 16:26Speaker 04

  They, oh, did they?

• 16:27Speaker 02

  No, but they took turns.

• 16:29Speaker 04

  I mean, you, you did watch, so like during the initial review, you were open that you watched more episodes than we did.

• 16:35Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 16:35Speaker 04

  And then since then, you have continued to watch.

• 16:37Speaker 02

  Yeah. So. It's got its hooks.

• 16:40Speaker 04

  I mean, yeah, good. I mean, I'm not, what am I gonna say? Don't watch.

• 16:43Speaker 02

  No, no, I'm just saying, I'm, I'm not waiting for you guys to watch every episode and review together. I'm saying, I'm, I'm, I'm off to the races here. It's got its hooks in me. What am I gonna do?

• 16:50Speaker 04

  No one is, yeah.

• 16:51Speaker 02

  I got the bug. I got the hockey bug.

• 16:53Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. I was gonna say.

• 16:55Speaker 02

  What?

• 16:56Speaker 04

  I got the bug. You know, you gotta be careful. People thought it was an illness at one point in time.

• 17:01Speaker 02

  Gayness?

• 17:02Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 17:02Speaker 02

  Oh, that's not what I meant.

• 17:03Speaker 04

  And then I believe in the DSM three, maybe earlier versions, it was diagnosed.

• 17:09Speaker 02

  When you start talking about acronyms, I get, I just.

• 17:11Speaker 04

  Diagnostic, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. It's like the, like.

• 17:15Speaker 02

  Say it again, two times fast.

• 17:16Speaker 04

  Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. It is, we're on the DSM five.

• 17:21Speaker 02

  It's pretty good.

• 17:22Speaker 04

  But in previous iterations, I never told you, I think I've, I've told you this story. I had a class in college of normal psychology and we just went through like mental illnesses and understanding, blah, blah, blah. It was a very interesting class. And we took a test and one of the tests was what was pre, what, what social norm now was once diagnosed as a mental illness? And I knew our teacher was gay. So I went to her and I was like, listen, I know the answer, or I think I know it, but I don't wanna write this down. You think I'm a piece of shit.

• 17:52Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 17:53Speaker 04

  And she's like, what do you think it is? I was like, I don't wanna say it. And she's like, what is it? I was like, gay. She goes, yes, okay. And I was like, all right. But it was categorized.

• 18:06Speaker 02

  Oh, you like got up in the middle of a test?

• 18:08Speaker 04

  Yeah. Cause I'd finished, I'd finished and I, and I went to hand it in, got a hundred and five. And, um.

• 18:15Speaker 02

  And five.

• 18:16Speaker 04

  Uh, but it was, it was diagnosed as a mental illness. When you said the bug, I thought you were like doing one of those like.

• 18:21Speaker 02

  I meant like, you know, you, I'm hooked. But, uh, I will say that this doesn't happen often, even though people think I look like everyone in the world. But there's a guy in the show that I actually.

  We feel like we look alike, but he looks like, this may be too niche, I don't know, but if you've ever seen the TikToks where people will take like, like they'll take like Timothy Chalamet's face and it'd be like, this is what Timothy Chalamet's face, if you made it look perfect and they like.

• 19:13Speaker 04

  Oh, like the symmetry, the symmetry thing?

• 19:15Speaker 02

  Symmetry, yeah, like that's what like, I feel like I would look like if you did that to my face. If you made my face like perfectly symmetrical and I was in a lot better shape.

• 19:25Speaker 03

  Look, look right into the camera. Let's give people a chance to do it.

• 19:28Speaker 04

  I know that there's someone, I know there's someone that's gonna be like, let's move his eyes here and like, you know.

• 19:33Speaker 02

  Someone had tweeted me and was like, oh, wait till Joe finds out he's in this show. And I saw the picture.

• 19:38Speaker 04

  I saw that too and I was like.

• 19:40Speaker 02

  Well, I saw that and I thought it was like a joke or something, but then I saw the dude on.

• 19:44Speaker 04

  And you were fully like, yeah.

• 19:46Speaker 02

  Well, I saw him like, I think maybe it was at the Golden Globes or something, but he was on like a carpet and they're taking photos of him and I was like, oh.

• 19:53Speaker 04

  It does look like.

• 19:54Speaker 02

  That kinda looks like a handsome Squidward version of me.

• 19:58Speaker 04

  I, I don't know if this will be a spoiler. Does he bake cakes at a certain point?

• 20:01Speaker 03

  Lot of batter.

• 20:03Speaker 04

  Oh, alright, well, I don't.

• 20:05Speaker 02

  What you guys are saying.

• 20:06Speaker 04

  Answer mine first, then we'll unpack that.

• 20:08Speaker 02

  What are you asking about?

• 20:09Speaker 03

  Piggyback.

• 20:09Speaker 02

  If he's, if, if he.

• 20:12Speaker 04

  If he is also baking cakes with.

• 20:16Speaker 02

  They're.

• 20:16Speaker 04

  Jane and Lily.

• 20:17Speaker 02

  He's, he's in love. He, there's a love story with him.

• 20:20Speaker 04

  Good.

• 20:20Speaker 03

  Getting into spoilers, I'm saying like past episode one here, I think.

• 20:23Speaker 02

  We are way past episode one.

• 20:24Speaker 03

  That's what I'm saying. I'm just, just frigging.

• 20:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't even know who he's referencing.

• 20:27Speaker 02

  That arc is very interesting. Okay. The dude's name is Kip, I believe, but he's got an interesting arc.

• 20:34Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 20:34Speaker 02

  Second to last episode.

• 20:36Speaker 04

  Something happens. Something happens. Something happens.

• 20:38Speaker 02

  Something.

• 20:39Speaker 04

  Oh wait, so you finished it?

• 20:41Speaker 02

  Well, yeah.

• 20:42Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 20:44Speaker 02

  Well, yeah.

• 20:45Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 20:45Speaker 02

  I mean, yeah.

• 20:47Speaker 04

  When you go, how, if you were to do the Siskel Eper Roper, are you giving it? How many thumbs up?

• 20:53Speaker 02

  What is the?

• 20:54Speaker 04

  Four thumbs up was like, really good.

• 20:56Speaker 02

  I honest, all jokes aside, like, I do think the show started out super hot and there's a lot of gay scenes. I don't want YouTube, but like, there's, like, right off the bat, you're kind of like,

• 21:08Speaker 02

  lustful, lust, let's get after it. But then it, it more, it slows up, but I think that's a natural, like, way that would go anyway.

• 21:16Speaker 04

  I mean, most TV shows, you know, first of all, they used to be called pilots because this was the show that was getting the show off the ground. They would have to show that, so they would have to end with a, with, with some, you know, like, punch, metaphorically, to get people to be like, I need to come back, I need to come back for episode two, three, four, whatever. As we are talking about this, it's because it starts at fucking a hundred.

• 21:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:40Speaker 04

  Like, a hundred, dude. And like, no issue with that, but any show that starts that aggressively, like, you're just gonna be like, whoa, I was not expecting that at first.

• 21:50Speaker 02

  What is a show? There was a show recently that was like on Netflix and it's like, and everyone would record their reaction to watching it, because the opening scene is like, this guy and this woman laying in bed and he's just hogging. Like, he's just hogging.

• 22:06Speaker 04

  I don't.

• 22:07Speaker 02

  I, I remember.

• 22:07Speaker 04

  Do you know what I'm talking about?

• 22:08Speaker 02

  I remember the trend, I don't remember the show.

• 22:10Speaker 04

  I don't, I mean, I remember when people would record to the documentary that came out where it was like, the mom was cyberbullying her own daughter.

• 22:19Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, no, that I watched recently. This was like older than, this was, might have been like during COVID or maybe a little after that. It was a while ago, but like, people would record themselves watching, like, oh, watch the beginning of this, I think it was, I think it was a, either a TV show or like a series or something like that. But the opening scene, so I'm like, I have to see this, because everyone's always like, oh, my god, but it's a dude lying there and he's hogging. And I was like, yo.

• 22:41Speaker 04

  Uh, I don't.

• 22:41Speaker 02

  And it did, no warm up, no warm up, it's like, title screen? Right there.

• 22:47Speaker 04

  Well, that's how the show, uh, The Boys is. That show goes, like, and not even just like one episode. Every episode of that show goes from zero to a hundred.

• 22:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 22:59Speaker 04

  Instantly quick. And like, you might, if you've not seen that show, it's on Prime Video. You might think like, oh, how, like, I'm talking like exploding wang's. You see how, see what I did there? That wasn't what I wanted to say.

• 23:13Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:14Speaker 04

  Like, that quick.

• 23:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:16Speaker 04

  And it, it was like, so like, any show that is like that, it's gonna be a little bit of whiplash. I think that, you know, I saw like some of the people saying like, you know, of course, because people that don't know our show, are going to see the clips of us talking about it and just be like, you know, this is, da-da-da-da-da. I think it's an important, again, let me be lefty Frank for a sec. I think it's important to have queer representation in TV and film. I think that, from what I have seen, it's a well-done show. I don't, I don't talk to the president of the gays, so I don't know how the gay community feels about it.

• 23:47Speaker 02

  Who's that, by the way?

• 23:48Speaker 04

  I, it was Ellen DeGeneres for a while.

• 23:51Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 23:51Speaker 04

  She's not, she was, she was taken from her post. Um, I, I don't know who would be in that role right now.

• 24:01Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 24:03Speaker 04

  Andy Cohen is, is, is in conversation. He's at least on the board of directors.

• 24:08Speaker 02

  I was thinking Andy Dick. When you said that, I was like, what?

• 24:10Speaker 04

  Andy Dick has got some other stuff going on that needs to figure out before.

• 24:14Speaker 02

  Wouldn't know.

• 24:15Speaker 04

  But, you didn't see that clip that went viral of like, someone found him on the street, like, ODing?

• 24:20Speaker 02

  Oh, god.

• 24:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 24:22Speaker 02

  Jesus. Um, no, I did not see that.

• 24:25Speaker 04

  Yes, sir. Any idea on who the president of, like, the gays is? Would it be Lady Gaga?

• 24:31Speaker 02

  Wouldn't it technically be like Jonathan Bailey right now? He's like.

• 24:34Speaker 04

  Ooh! That's a good one. That, you know what, though? He might not be, he might not have.

• 24:38Speaker 02

  Newly elected.

• 24:39Speaker 04

  He just got this.

• 24:39Speaker 02

  Newly elected.

• 24:40Speaker 04

  I don't even think of an elected president yet. Nah, you need like a OG. Yeah, like, you need like someone that is like consistently like, that's why I said Lady Gaga. I think that she has probably earned her right on the Mount Rushmore.

• 24:53Speaker 02

  Sure? You know who I really like? Who's the dude, oh god, what is he in? What was the show with Steve Carell?

• 25:00Speaker 04

  Morning Show?

• 25:01Speaker 02

  No, uh, Four Seasons, something like that.

• 25:03Speaker 04

  Okay, yes.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Do you know that show?

• 25:04Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 25:04Speaker 02

  The black dude in there?

• 25:05Speaker 04

  Coleman Domingo.

• 25:06Speaker 02

  Bro, that guy...

• 25:07Speaker 04

  He might be the current president!

• 25:08Speaker 02

  He could be. Bro, that guy's style is unbelievable.

• 25:12Speaker 04

  Dude, super talented. I remember the first time I saw him in Euphoria. Beck and I were watching the episode where it was just him and Rue, and I was like, yo, this guy is fucking good.

• 25:19Speaker 02

  That, that show, by the way? Mad underrated.

• 25:23Speaker 04

  Euphoria?

• 25:24Speaker 02

  I loved that show.

• 25:24Speaker 04

  Or Four Seasons.

• 25:25Speaker 02

  Four Seasons.

• 25:26Speaker 04

  You know, I started-

• 25:27Speaker 02

  What was the other show you were talking about?

• 25:28Speaker 04

  Euphoria. I think Euphoria is appropriately right.

• 25:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, it's a very popular... But like, Four Seasons, I feel like went under the radar, like, that shit was fire.

• 25:35Speaker 04

  Uh, I didn't, you know, you wanna know something? It's filming, like, at the Jersey Shore, like, it was-

• 25:40Speaker 02

  Oh, there's new stuff?

• 25:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, they're doing a new season. I didn't, so we wa- I think Beck and I watched like, the first two episodes.

• 25:45Speaker 02

  It's good.

• 25:45Speaker 04

  And we just never picked it back up.

• 25:47Speaker 02

  I liked it.

• 25:47Speaker 04

  I love the cast so much.

• 25:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:49Speaker 04

  I mean, you can't go wrong with Will Forte, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Coleman Domingo, like-

• 25:54Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, Will Forte's in that, I forgot.

• 25:55Speaker 04

  Um, but, yeah, just, uh, just kinda bringing it back full circle in, in terms of heated rivalry, like,

• 26:03Speaker 04

  They, they, they didn't leave anything for the imagination. I think, you know, that, that, they, they definitely, like, you know, like, you ever heard of, like, don't show... What's the, what's the, what's the term? Like, don't show them the cat, let them know there's a cat there.

• 26:19Speaker 02

  Schrodinger's cat?

• 26:20Speaker 04

  No, no, no, Schrodinger's hat is something different.

• 26:22Speaker 02

  Don't show hole.

• 26:23Speaker 04

  No, that's-

• 26:24Speaker 02

  I've heard that one.

• 26:24Speaker 04

  That's also different.

• 26:25Speaker 02

  What do we, what do we, what do we say?

• 26:27Speaker 04

  Ant can take the, Ant can take the shaft of blame after this one also gets, yeah. Also, they didn't follow that rule, a lot of butt, a lot of dude butt.

• 26:37Speaker 02

  Round, round butts.

• 26:39Speaker 04

  I-

• 26:39Speaker 02

  I'm not gon- I wasn't gonna say it, but, bro. Really round.

• 26:44Speaker 03

  No?

• 26:45Speaker 04

  I don't, I didn't-

• 26:46Speaker 02

  The Russian dude!

• 26:47Speaker 03

  They're like impressively round. I'm like, wow, that's round.

• 26:49Speaker 04

  Dude, dude, I, I didn't see anything about the butts that you see to be like-

• 26:53Speaker 02

  What are you talking about? The dude, the Russian dude's butts are right there on the-

• 26:55Speaker 04

  I mean, they're in good shape because they're athletes. I, I didn't see anything where I was just like-

• 26:58Speaker 02

  That doesn't mean that you're not being like, bro, Jesus. Like, this guy's got a BBL, basically.

• 27:03Speaker 04

  BBL?

• 27:05Speaker 04

  Lot of, I guess I-

• 27:06Speaker 03

  You weren't looking in the right place.

• 27:07Speaker 04

  I guess I was not, yeah.

• 27:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, we were slow blinking over there? Cause I mean, I was gonna bring-

• 27:12Speaker 04

  I was holding my breath while I was watching.

• 27:14Speaker 03

  Round, really round? They were. That's the only, that's what I thought the whole time.

• 27:18Speaker 02

  That's bad, funny.

• 27:18Speaker 04

  Interesting. Uh, but yeah, I mean, definitely, I, I think if, if you wanna see a good love story, start off aggressive, go watch the show.

• 27:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. Uh, definitely like, you know, it gets tucks in you, dude, I'm telling you. If you continue watching it, you're gonna be like, that was a good show.

• 27:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:38Speaker 03

  Was there any more hockey?

• 27:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:41Speaker 03

  Oh, nice.

• 27:42Speaker 04

  There's like, there's like, uh, you know-

• 27:44Speaker 03

  Cause the first episode, I don't think-

• 27:45Speaker 04

  The equivalent of the Stanley Cup a bunch of times.

• 27:50Speaker 03

  Right, but they do the sneaky thing where they actually don't play hockey, they kinda just film on the ice.

• 27:56Speaker 04

  That, what do you, what, what, what is that?

• 27:58Speaker 03

  You know what I mean.

• 27:59Speaker 04

  No.

• 27:59Speaker 02

  Nope.

• 28:00Speaker 04

  They film on the ice?

• 28:01Speaker 03

  Like, they're just like-

• 28:02Speaker 02

  What are you gonna, you want them to show a whole hockey game?

• 28:03Speaker 04

  He, that's what he wants. He's watching it cause he's, he's that guy that's just like, I like some hockey, let's go watch this right now.

• 28:09Speaker 03

  I don't think there was a puck until forty-five minutes-

• 28:12Speaker 02

  Let's see this game, guys, slapshot!

• 28:13Speaker 04

  Well, no, I'm watching heated rivalry for the hockey. I wanna see- I wanna see how good they are. That's it.

• 28:20Speaker 03

  Just a little bit of both.

• 28:21Speaker 04

  That's it. You know that's it, right? I wanted a little more hockey, you know, like, what are you, that's like going to the-

• 28:28Speaker 02

  You got NHL for that!

• 28:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 28:29Speaker 02

  You know, I'm here, I'm just here for the hockey. I'm not here for the Russian round butt.

• 28:34Speaker 04

  Just, you know, just say the quiet part out loud, my friend, it's okay. You can, you can watch it for-

• 28:41Speaker 02

  Oh, that's so funny.

• 28:42Speaker 04

  You know, yeah.

• 28:43Speaker 02

  So, well. Watching it for the hockey is great. But yeah. Lot of stuff there.

• 28:52Speaker 02

  But apparently, there's like a lot of books too. So like.

• 28:54Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's based off a series of books and like, I think, we looked it up during our initial review. The first, I think the first one is called Heated Rivalry.

• 29:03Speaker 02

  And there's like Game Changer.

• 29:04Speaker 04

  Game Changer.

• 29:05Speaker 02

  The Long Shot.

• 29:06Speaker 04

  The Long Shot.

• 29:07Speaker 02

  That's the one.

• 29:08Speaker 04

  Crazy. Taped Wrists.

• 29:10Speaker 02

  Common Goal.

• 29:11Speaker 04

  Common Goal, that's a good one.

• 29:12Speaker 02

  That one feels like a, like a, like a. DP?

• 29:18Speaker 04

  You, so, we did this whole segment. So close. So close.

• 29:23Speaker 02

  I was just using letters.

• 29:24Speaker 04

  I'm letting you know now.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  But doesn't that sound like that though?

• 29:27Speaker 04

  Common. Uh, I, I think the common goal would be in reference to reaching a. Oak.

• 29:34Speaker 02

  It's like you say it really, yeah, say it really fast, say it really fast.

• 29:37Speaker 04

  Common Goal.

• 29:38Speaker 02

  Oh, that's not.

• 29:38Speaker 04

  Like, like, like, you know, gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boy's soul.

• 29:46Speaker 04

  Where.

• 29:47Speaker 02

  First of all.

• 29:47Speaker 04

  You know, you know, don't do this. Already, in the beginning, you both were wrong about what I was saying? And then that was completely not what I was saying.

• 29:54Speaker 02

  I'm not jumping in in that.

• 29:56Speaker 04

  Well, you, you've seen that episode of Sunny.

• 29:57Speaker 02

  I don't know what you're talking about.

• 29:58Speaker 04

  You've never seen Sunny?

• 29:59Speaker 02

  Oh, that was Sunny.

• 30:00Speaker 04

  You know that episode of Sunny where they do the play, where they do the, the Nightman.

• 30:04Speaker 02

  I saw it.

• 30:04Speaker 04

  Okay, thank God. You know, gotta play, one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen in my entire life. Full stop. You know?

• 30:16Speaker 04

  When he goes, what is that? And he cocks a gun, he goes, you know what it is, bitch.

• 30:22Speaker 04

  Oh, man. Gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boy's hole. You gotta pay a troll toe to get in.

• 30:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 30:31Speaker 04

  I can recite that whole episode, I think, line for line.

• 30:33Speaker 02

  It's a great episode, honestly, one of the best ever on television.

• 30:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, well.

• 30:37Speaker 02

  But yeah.

• 30:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't know how, when we send it off to past selves, how the vibes of the episode are, if it continues this.

• 30:44Speaker 04

  Yeah, well, listen, we apologize.

• 30:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 30:46Speaker 04

  We don't, we don't, we apologize for the, because we're obviously in different stuff, you know, like, and it, it wasn't our fault, we wanted to make sure that you guys didn't miss out on an episode, so we wanted to give you what you like, which is Joe.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  Eperdoper.

• 31:01Speaker 04

  Can I say gooning?

• 31:02Speaker 02

  What?

• 31:02Speaker 04

  Can I say gooning?

• 31:04Speaker 02

  Gooning?

• 31:05Speaker 04

  Oh, you're saying me?

• 31:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:07Speaker 04

  No, I wasn't gooning.

• 31:08Speaker 02

  Well.

• 31:11Speaker 03

  We gotta.

• 31:12Speaker 02

  I like rom-coms, even though it's like more of a rom.

• 31:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's more of a rom-drom.

• 31:16Speaker 02

  A rom, a rom-drom?

• 31:17Speaker 04

  A dram, dram, dramance.

• 31:18Speaker 02

  A hock-rom.

• 31:19Speaker 04

  Dramance. Hock-dramance. Now it sounds like we're gonna conjure up spirits.

• 31:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know, the furniture's gonna start levitating here. Um, but yeah, so that's our new review, um, I guess. Let's go over to our older selves.

• 31:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, so let's.

• 31:38Speaker 02

• 36:04Speaker 02

  Beautiful.

• 36:04Speaker 03

  And speaking of holes, I have something for you, boys.

• 36:07Speaker 04

  Holes, oh.

• 36:08Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 36:09Speaker 03

  So this has been bouncing around TikTok. I'm curious, how would you count the number of holes on this salt shaker? What would be your method?

• 36:19Speaker 04

  Can, can, let's just start with like, what's the first hole you're looking at? I'm, I'm, I'm looking not at a first hole, I'm looking at a series of holes.

• 36:29Speaker 03

  Right. And then how would you count those?

• 36:32Speaker 04

  Which one? I'm doing the circle around the middle hole. So I would go with those six.

• 36:39Speaker 03

  Wait, this here?

• 36:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:40Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 36:41Speaker 04

  You count those first? I would segment it that way because it's easier for my eyes to, to do that.

• 36:47Speaker 03

  Interesting.

• 36:48Speaker 04

  Personally. So like, I would do that, so I see that that's six, then one in the middle, and then the five dots around, no, the six dots around the end. So seven, thirteen, right? Thirteen holes?

• 36:59Speaker 02

  So you'd count it, this six in the circle?

• 37:02Speaker 04

  Yep, one in the middle.

• 37:03Speaker 02

  And then the outer ring?

• 37:04Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 37:05Speaker 02

  That is very interesting.

• 37:07Speaker 04

  It's easier for my eyes to break it up like that.

• 37:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:10Speaker 04

  Cause like I break it up in the, I, I take the middle part of it, break it up. And then I can count the outside and inside. Easier, personally. Why? What are you guys doing?

• 37:19Speaker 02

  I feel like if we added one more ring of circles, you, you're, you're not counting this. I mean, to be fair-

• 37:25Speaker 04

  But that's not, that's, you're asking me how I would count this one.

• 37:27Speaker 02

  Okay. I would only really count this if I was in a very awkward, like socially awkward situation. I'd be like, let me just count these things, cause I don't wanna look up. I think I would start in the upper left. Like there, and just kind of like get the ones that are near there, and then kinda go...

• 37:47Speaker 02

  What's, like to the right? Near there as in, you go one? One, two, the one across mid, and then maybe that one in the middle, and then like, maybe I would continue that way. I don't know.

• 37:58Speaker 04

  I'm also thinking of it, I would also count it by line. So one, five, eight, twelve, thirteen.

• 38:07Speaker 02

  Honestly, what you said, I'm like, I feel like I would do the opposite, where I would count the out, out in. So I would go one, two, three, four, five, and then count the inner ring, and then the one in the middle.

• 38:19Speaker 04

  Yeah, I just, in my head, the way that it works is to break it up into different sections. You know, and, and just looking at that shape, that seems like the easiest way to do that, to look at it as three different shapes.

• 38:31Speaker 02

  Bro, I'm staring at this and I'm like, there's holes appearing and disappearing.

• 38:35Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:35Speaker 02

  Like, I'm like, it's like a, fucking, it's tripping me out. I think I would do just lines. So I would go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. Just lines, that makes sense. I, I honestly don't think I would be good at counting this. Usually if I have to do something like this, I do it more than once, cause I'm not very like-

• 38:54Speaker 04

  I lo-, I'll randomly be in, like, the other day I was in the steam room, and I was like, let me count the tiles in here. And like-

• 39:00Speaker 02

  Oh, you got a little bit of the, you got, you got the, you know what I mean? You got a little bit of it? What's going on?

• 39:06Speaker 04

  A smidge, I would say, at least a smidge. I like to count stuff. Counting is cool because it's something I know I'm good at.

• 39:12Speaker 02

  Counting?

• 39:13Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 39:14Speaker 02

  How high?

• 39:15Speaker 04

  Pretty high.

• 39:16Speaker 02

  You counted the tiles?

• 39:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, but I did it by using mathematic equations. So I was just like, I'm not gonna sit here and count every single tile, but I'll count across, I'll count down, and then I'll take the area of that wall, and then I'll look over and do that one.

• 39:29Speaker 02

  Sometimes I'll get into this mood where I'll just start counting my steps. Like, I'll be walking on the sidewalk and I'm like, "One, two, three," and I'll get up to over a hundred and I'm like, "What am I doing?"

• 39:38Speaker 04

  Dude, what I used to do is when I used to walk home from the train when I lived in Astoria, I would, at a random point on the walk, I would say a number guessing how many steps it would be from where I was to my house.

• 39:51Speaker 02

  Out loud?

• 39:51Speaker 04

  Out loud. So I'd be like, on like, Dipmars and like, Steinway.

• 39:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:56Speaker 04

  And I'd go like, "1,406." And then I would walk and count every step, and then I'd give myself one time to adjust, and then just play a little game with myself.

• 40:05Speaker 02

  Did you ever like, nail it?

• 40:06Speaker 04

  Yes, one time.

• 40:07Speaker 02

  Really?

• 40:08Speaker 04

  Like, like, nailed it.

• 40:10Speaker 02

  You nailed it, like,

• 40:11Speaker 04

  I was walking-

• 40:11Speaker 02

  Like Hollander!

• 40:12Speaker 04

  Dude, like, Yeah, well, Hollander-

• 40:17Speaker 02

  He was the nail.

• 40:18Speaker 04

  He received-

• 40:18Speaker 02

  He received the nailing-

• 40:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, from the hammer.

• 40:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, right, exactly.

• 40:23Speaker 04

  But, I was like, a couple blocks away and I was like, you know, like, 684. And then I was like, two blocks away and I was like, "I can adjust," but no, I'm gonna stick with 684. And it was 684.

• 40:32Speaker 02

  Did you start, like, these were your normal steps, but then you're,

• 40:36Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no, I, and like, I kept the same stride and pace, you know, I, I, I did my best. You know, there was no like puddles I was jumping over or anything.

• 40:43Speaker 02

  That's funny.

• 40:44Speaker 04

  I just love doing stuff like that.

• 40:45Speaker 02

  I count stuff. Do you count stuff?

• 40:47Speaker 03

  Sometimes, sometimes I'll count. Uh, do you know how many, uh, stairs you, you have in your house exactly?

• 40:52Speaker 04

  No. Well, I live in an apartment.

• 40:54Speaker 03

  Okay, well, what about, uh, yeah, that you don't count.

• 40:56Speaker 04

  He knows, so then he does know how many he has.

• 40:58Speaker 02

  Zero.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  So let's say, your top floor, do you know how many, the exact number of stairs it is from your middle floor to your top floor? I feel like it's important to know.

• 41:05Speaker 02

  I don't know that in my mom's house that I grew up in. I have no idea.

• 41:08Speaker 03

  Cause, like, you ever carrying something and it's blocking your vision? I know my, my, my steps.

• 41:12Speaker 02

  Oh, I can do this.

• 41:14Speaker 04

  Oh, I just, I stop and I wipe my foot. So like I go down and I like.

• 41:19Speaker 02

  I kick my foot around.

• 41:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, just to see like, is there another step? Am I on the ground? I can also tell by the, like the texture of the ground. If it's wood, if it's a tile or something.

• 41:28Speaker 02

  I also am so bad at that, that if I, if something is impeding my vision, I've, because my mom's house is like two steps and then like a little landing and then the stairs go up like that. So coming down those steps and getting to the landing and you're just anticipating another step and I just go boom. Like that was just like, because I'm like thinking there's another step and I just like hit the, hit the deck or some shit. But I've done that so many times in my life.

• 41:53Speaker 04

  Joey's childhood house also had famously one of his staircases was missing a step. So like, it was like, it was a hole, like on several accounts, like several occasions, we had told people like, careful of the sixth step and they'd say, why? And we're like, because there isn't one. And it was just a hole into the floor. You know?

• 42:13Speaker 02

  It happens. Things fall apart at times and they, and they last a long time, which is an issue, but it's fixed now. Stairs to the basement kind of situation?

• 42:21Speaker 04

  It was in the stairs to the basement, yeah.

• 42:23Speaker 02

  If it was, you know, the middle floor or something, that'd be. That'd be tougher to explain.

• 42:26Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, when we were, only we were going into the basement. I'm, I'm sure we were the ones that caused it to break in the first place.

• 42:32Speaker 02

  I'm certain of it. I mean, my mom would do laundry in the basement. Like that's where the laundry machine was.

• 42:37Speaker 04

  Yeah, but your mom has steps like a little pixie, you know what I mean? Like she walks like she basically floats on air.

• 42:42Speaker 02

  She floats down the steps.

• 42:43Speaker 04

  We were running down those steps.

• 42:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude. Feels like a Keith through the, like leg through the stair kind of thing. I actually don't remember how that happened, but I mean, that's a, that's a very safe bet.

• 42:54Speaker 04

  Could have been. Do you remember when we tried to put me down the stairs in the Sterlite, like, storage bin?

• 43:02Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, that was like a, so many times I've done that.

• 43:04Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 43:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 43:06Speaker 04

  Or a hamper? You ride it down the stairs in the hamper? Don't do it, kids.

• 43:10Speaker 02

  And if it goes well, if it goes the way you want it to go.

• 43:13Speaker 04

  You slide right down.

• 43:14Speaker 02

  You, but you actually hit the floor and topple over. And that's probably what you don't want.

• 43:21Speaker 04

  No, I imagine you would want that because your momentum brings you. If you hit the floor and stop, you come to a complete stop.

• 43:30Speaker 02

  That's what I mean. And you just flip over.

• 43:33Speaker 04

  No, but the flip over is better because your momentum is continuing and it can die down a little. But if you just hit and you don't move.

• 43:40Speaker 02

  I actually think that one time we did do something like that. And my foot went right through the closet that's right there.

• 43:47Speaker 04

  Cause it had like those slats in it, right?

• 43:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, and I just like kicked it open.

• 43:51Speaker 04

  Yeah, I mean, whatever.

• 43:52Speaker 02

  God bless them for raising all of us in that house.

• 43:55Speaker 04

  See, my steps had like the metal track on the, you know what I'm talking about, on the tread?

• 44:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:02Speaker 04

  So like, if I went down those, I was, I wasn't gonna be in good shape.

• 44:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, you'd be roughed up from that.

• 44:07Speaker 04

  And be a little roughed up. But, you know, it would take some nice good roughing, just like Hollander.

• 44:12Speaker 02

  Hollander took a roughing, yeah. And will probably continue taking it.

• 44:16Speaker 03

  My grandma's old house had a boxing bag hanging from the ceiling in the basement.

• 44:21Speaker 02

  Like a heavy bag?

• 44:22Speaker 03

  And we would swing from it.

• 44:23Speaker 02

  You'd swing from the heavy bag?

• 44:24Speaker 04

  I mean, as a kid, what else are you gonna do? Punch it?

• 44:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's stupid.

• 44:27Speaker 03

  It hurt my hand.

• 44:28Speaker 04

  I imagine that's the thing to do.

• 44:30Speaker 03

  Just swing from it. Thought it was cool.

• 44:31Speaker 04

  What's in those, by the way? Sand?

• 44:33Speaker 02

  Gotta be.

• 44:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:35Speaker 02

  What else would you put in there?

• 44:37Speaker 04

  Water?

• 44:39Speaker 02

  I mean, you pop it.

• 44:40Speaker 04

  I think of the scene in The Avengers where he, where Chris Evans, Captain America, hits it and then sand just bursts everywhere.

• 44:47Speaker 02

  Cause he's so strong.

• 44:49Speaker 04

  He is so strong.

• 44:50Speaker 02

  Bro, speaking of Chris Evans, I just watched a show, uh, Defending Jacob. Did you see that?

• 44:54Speaker 04

  You were telling me about that. I didn't watch it. Is it good?

• 44:56Speaker 02

  Uh, dude, embarrassed to say this, but me and Nicole watched the entire series at one sitting.

• 45:04Speaker 04

  Why is that embarrassing?

• 45:05Speaker 02

  Cause it's fucking like seven hours.

• 45:09Speaker 04

  I am a big proponent of. Smoke it if you got them, you know what I'm saying? Like i- i- if they're, if they're giving it to you all at once, just do it.

• 45:16Speaker 02

  Seven hours of television straight is bananas, but it's one of those like mystery things and you're like, I gotta fucking know. So I couldn't stop watching.

• 45:24Speaker 04

  I love a good mystery.

• 45:26Speaker 02

  I love mysteries.

• 45:27Speaker 04

  I watched Weapons and I was like, ooh, what's going on?

• 45:30Speaker 02

  I love detective shit. Like I wish I could be a detective. Or sometimes I watch shows where detectives are like figuring stuff out and I'm like, oh, I love that.

• 45:39Speaker 04

  Like the first forty-eight or something like that?

• 45:41Speaker 02

  Well, I just, I also, All Her Fault is another one and it's like, what's the guy, uh, Peña, Peña, Peña?

• 45:46Speaker 04

  Michael.

• 45:46Speaker 02

  Michael Peña. He's like a detective and he's like figuring stuff out and he's like, oh, okay, piece this together, blah, blah, blah. He's interviewing people and I'm like, I would love this.

• 45:54Speaker 04

  That's why I really enjoyed rewatching Dexter and that's why I like the new, uh, Knives Out, Wake Up Dead Man.

• 46:00Speaker 02

  Uh.

• 46:00Speaker 04

  Cause he does it in such a, Daniel Craig does it in such a, oh, he bombastic, you know, coming through Benoit Blanc and he doing it like that. I love it. That's what he does, dude.

• 46:13Speaker 04

  That's what he does.

• 46:14Speaker 02

  Bombastic.

• 46:15Speaker 04

  Well, that's what he does. He comes in his like, Mark, go so.

• 46:18Speaker 02

  I wish I talked like that.

• 46:20Speaker 04

  Do you ever wish, like, give me your top five accents you wish you had?

• 46:24Speaker 02

  I wish I had a, some sort of like UK accent.

• 46:30Speaker 04

  UK?

• 46:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, just any, any of them. There's a hundred million, but like, I, one of them would be nice.

• 46:36Speaker 04

  Alright, so give me your top five as I asked before.

• 46:38Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 46:41Speaker 04

  Take it easy.

• 46:42Speaker 02

  Should I count that? That was really.

• 46:44Speaker 04

  No, that was not.

• 46:45Speaker 02

  It was really sassy.

• 46:46Speaker 04

  No, that was not.

• 46:46Speaker 02

  It was sass, sass, sass, sass.

• 46:48Speaker 04

  No, no, no, no, no, no. Unlimited sass. I've been sassed up. No, we said it was verbal.

• 46:53Speaker 02

  Like I said before, you fucking idiot.

• 46:56Speaker 04

  We said it would be verbal bitches, not, not.

• 46:59Speaker 02

  But I was, that was a bitching. Yeah, a little bit. Throwing that sass around, Frankie.

• 47:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was crazy, dude. Uh, you're, who's side are you on?

• 47:08Speaker 02

  Who's side is he supposed to be on?

• 47:09Speaker 04

  Mine, cause we're getting the money together.

• 47:12Speaker 02

  Oh, so he is splitting it. Might be on Frankie's side.

• 47:14Speaker 04

  I, well, I know, meaning like you're also getting ten dollars and I'm also getting ten dollars.

• 47:17Speaker 02

  Whoa, now it's twenty dollars? Back to Joe's side if I get two bucks per.

• 47:21Speaker 04

  I'm not playing this.

• 47:22Speaker 02

  I'm giving you ten bucks per. No, you're making him spend twenty. He's not gonna do that for me.

• 47:26Speaker 04

  Alright, doing any of this?

• 47:29Speaker 04

  So top five accents you would most want to have?

• 47:32Speaker 02

  Um, I would say that one.

• 47:34Speaker 04

  You just said European.

• 47:35Speaker 02

  I said UK.

• 47:36Speaker 04

  You said UK.

• 47:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:37Speaker 04

  British. Okay.

• 47:39Speaker 02

  British accent.

• 47:40Speaker 04

  What kind of British? Are we talking like, "Hi, I'm Brit-" Are we talking like a fucking like this?

• 47:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, like Tom Hardy in, uh, Peaky Blinders.

• 47:49Speaker 04

  Or Peaky Blinders, okay.

• 47:50Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah, I love that accent. I think that's awesome.

• 47:53Speaker 04

  So you want to be a blinder? A preky fucking.

• 47:56Speaker 02

  Fucking fuck fucking hell!

• 47:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 47:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, I would love that.

• 48:00Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 48:01Speaker 02

  Um, I think also-

• 48:03Speaker 04

  And the people that are watching this in England are just like, "That's a very specific." Like, they know exactly which one it is.

• 48:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause like I said, there's so many of them. Like, I think you go like a ten miles north and it's completely different.

• 48:16Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 48:17Speaker 02

  Uh, I would like that. Um, I think like having a Spanish accent would be cool.

• 48:23Speaker 04

  But like, what Spanish are we talking? Are we talking?

• 48:25Speaker 02

  You know which one.

• 48:26Speaker 04

  Spain? Like, "España, vosotros..."

• 48:30Speaker 02

  But-

• 48:30Speaker 04

  "We don't eat, even eat dinner until midnight."

• 48:33Speaker 02

  I'm talking about like, uh-

• 48:35Speaker 04

  Dominican?

• 48:37Speaker 02

  I'm trying to think of an actor that would have-

• 48:38Speaker 04

  Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas.

• 48:41Speaker 02

  Eeeeh.

• 48:41Speaker 03

  Who's the guy that voiced, um, Death in Puss in Boots? Come on Frankie.

• 48:48Speaker 02

  Puss in Boots is actually a good accent.

• 48:49Speaker 04

  Wagner Mora.

• 48:50Speaker 03

  That guy, that's-

• 48:51Speaker 02

  Oh, he just won!

• 48:52Speaker 04

  He just won, yeah. Apparently that movie's incredible.

• 48:54Speaker 02

  The Secret Agent or something?

• 48:55Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 48:56Speaker 03

  Would love that. I would love that.

• 48:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's a good one. I liked, I liked that accent. I like that. I'll take that. Um, I want like a Scouse accent, that's fun.

• 49:05Speaker 03

  Which one's that?

• 49:06Speaker 02

  That's like, uh, you know Patty the Baddie? Or Owen Cooper, I think is, is he's, I think he is, I don't know.

• 49:11Speaker 04

  Who's Patty the Baddie?

• 49:12Speaker 02

  He's in the UFC, you've never seen him?

• 49:14Speaker 04

  He don't get knocked out! Patty Pemblyt?

• 49:17Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 49:18Speaker 04

  Okay. I didn't know his nickname was The Baddie.

• 49:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, dude. Um-

• 49:22Speaker 04

  No offense.

• 49:23Speaker 02

  Come fuck him up dude.

• 49:26Speaker 02

  But yeah, like an accent like that, I think is so fucking funny.

• 49:29Speaker 04

  Who, who is the?

• 49:30Speaker 02

  Like Scottish, like sounding.

• 49:32Speaker 04

  Scottish, I mean, you, yeah.

• 49:33Speaker 02

  It's hilarious.

• 49:34Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, careful, you don't wanna offend Patty the Patty. He might come here and take your hatty off.

• 49:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, put me in a fucking rear naked.

• 49:43Speaker 04

  Scottish would be cool, like a David Tennant, Alan Cumming.

• 49:46Speaker 02

  Or like a real Italian would be cool too.

• 49:49Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 49:50Speaker 02

  I think that's such a, like a nice sounding language.

• 49:52Speaker 04

  It, I mean, the language, it's, but, but.

• 49:54Speaker 02

  It's a little dramatic for me.

• 49:55Speaker 04

  If you had the, the accent, but not the language, doesn't that kinda take away from it, like?

• 50:00Speaker 02

  To be clear, I'd rather speak these languages than just have the accent, obviously.

• 50:04Speaker 04

  Gotcha, okay.

• 50:05Speaker 02

  But.

• 50:07Speaker 04

  No part of you wants like a southern accent a little bit?

• 50:10Speaker 02

  No.

• 50:10Speaker 04

  I'm talk.

• 50:12Speaker 02

  No, not at all.

• 50:14Speaker 04

  What about Boston?

• 50:16Speaker 02

  Certainly not. Certainly not.

• 50:19Speaker 04

  What about like Delaware Water Gap? Like Philly?

• 50:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, I will say the Baltimore accent is, is.

• 50:25Speaker 04

  Stavros, that bit he does is so fucking funny.

• 50:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, I feel like the, the, the Baltimore accent is so funny, like I, I wasn't really uh, aware of it until, you know, the last like five years really, like I knew they had an accent, but I never like really like.

• 50:40Speaker 04

  Mary Beestown was the first one to like put it on TV and stuff like that, right?

• 50:43Speaker 02

  That was a good show.

• 50:45Speaker 04

  Speaking of detectives, you know?

• 50:47Speaker 02

  Another, see, I'm all over the detective shit.

• 50:49Speaker 04

  The, the like Delaware Water Gap, you know, like we're going for a hoagie, you know, go birds.

• 50:54Speaker 02

  It's, it's also like, what are you, like, how did this come there?

• 50:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, why?

• 50:59Speaker 02

  Like it's a very specific spot.

• 51:00Speaker 04

  It is, it is, it is, a hundred percent, yeah.

• 51:02Speaker 02

  It's like, only you have it, so strange.

• 51:05Speaker 04

  It is, it is crazy to think about accents because like we live in the same place, but it's so, like, people say that a lot about New York.

• 51:11Speaker 02

  Bro, you ever hear the Memphis accent? Oh my god.

• 51:15Speaker 04

  No, I don't think I've heard a Memphis accent.

• 51:16Speaker 02

  When you say human, but they say Herman.

• 51:19Speaker 04

  Herman?

• 51:20Speaker 02

  And Mersick.

• 51:21Speaker 04

  Mersick?

• 51:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, like you ever seen like Glorillo, uh, get interviewed and shit, she, she, she says.

• 51:26Speaker 04

  I thought she was from St. Louis.

• 51:28Speaker 02

  Nah, I think she's from, or maybe I'm mixing people up, I'm pretty sure it was.

• 51:33Speaker 04

  Well, it was like Chingy right there.

• 51:36Speaker 02

  Well, I don't think it's St. Louis. I'm pretty sure it's Glorilla, cuz she did, she did an interview with, um, with Speedy where she was like, she bearded for spirit, like she can't like-

• 51:44Speaker 04

  I don't know who Speedy is.

• 51:45Speaker 02

  He's an interviewer for Complex. Um, that dude's hilarious too. But, it's like, is she from Memphis?

• 51:54Speaker 04

  I don't-

• 51:55Speaker 02

  I think that- Justin Timberlake is.

• 51:59Speaker 02

  That ain't what I'm talking about.

• 52:00Speaker 04

  Cuz he talks like this.

• 52:02Speaker 02

  That doesn't sound like him at all. That sounds exactly like him. Yes, Glorilla, Memphis, Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so they, so they say like Herman, like instead of human. So I'm like, that's-

• 52:10Speaker 04

  I would need to hear it before I can ever make any judgments about it. I'll tell you which ones I definitely would want. I've openly said I don't like the Boston one. I think that, I don't like it, it's just-

• 52:19Speaker 02

  It's hilarious to me though.

• 52:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, but also it just feels, like I don't want it. I don't know how else to say that.

• 52:26Speaker 02

  I know what you're gonna say. You say it's gonna feel dumb. Is that what you're gonna say?

• 52:29Speaker 04

  No, no, no, that's not what I was gonna say.

• 52:30Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 52:31Speaker 04

  But, also I would hate the like, valley, California, like-

• 52:37Speaker 02

  The vocal fry.

• 52:39Speaker 04

  Hate that. You know, like, here, like, that, like that.

• 52:47Speaker 02

  Fuck shit.

• 52:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, surprised Australian's not in there.

• 52:53Speaker 04

  Oh, that's a good one, I like that one too. Australian just feels like it's a cool club that I can't be in, you know what I mean?

• 52:59Speaker 02

  I can't do it.

• 52:59Speaker 04

  Like, it seems like they're in it and they're like, oh, good eye, you know?

• 53:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, fuck, mate.

• 53:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, fuck.

• 53:04Speaker 02

  Fucking cunt. Like, yeah, I love how, I like, yeah, they're just cool.

• 53:08Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's, that's a good one I'd like too. I, I, I, I don't really, the only two accents I could say I really don't like are those two I just mentioned, Boston and, and, uh, you know, like that valley, so, so, like, back end, you know? But, I also, like I said before, I, I dated a Brazilian girl in high school and I hated that accent.

• 53:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, you did.

• 53:29Speaker 04

  You know, cuz it was like, Hispanic and also Russian.

• 53:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:34Speaker 04

  So it'd be like-

• 53:38Speaker 04

  Estudo, estudo pai, you know?

• 53:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:46Speaker 04

  It's just like, yeah, you know?

• 53:49Speaker 02

  I just wish I could speak anything other than English.

• 53:51Speaker 04

  I mean, you can. You got, you, you can sit down and, you know, pop on one of those speaking apps. What are they called?

• 53:57Speaker 02

  I feel like I'm-

• 53:58Speaker 04

  Duolingo is one of them, right?

• 53:59Speaker 02

  I feel like I'm surprised, like, when I was in Spain, I was able to understand like a decent amount. I'm like, okay, so I, it's like, I have something. Like, some people have absolutely nothing and just English. But like, when you are in Spain, everyone knows like five languages and I'm just like, I'm a-

• 54:14Speaker 04

  American loser. I always think about this. My grandfather spoke seven languages. He was polylingual.

• 54:22Speaker 02

  That's so sick.

• 54:22Speaker 04

  Which, what the fuck are we doing? Like, I could barely speak English.

• 54:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 54:27Speaker 04

  You know?

• 54:27Speaker 02

  Seven is probably four too many. If you had, if you had to pick two more.

• 54:32Speaker 04

  For me?

• 54:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 54:34Speaker 04

  Um, I, I, you know, my Spanish is so broken that I'm not even gonna be able to say that I speak it.

• 54:38Speaker 02

  I think, yeah, Spanish has to be in there, obviously.

• 54:40Speaker 04

  I think it would have to be Spanish and then...

• 54:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, what would you pick after that?

• 54:44Speaker 04

  If you know Spanish, you kinda know Italian.

• 54:48Speaker 00

• 55:18Speaker 02

  Can you speak Italian? I used to be able to fully understand it, but now I'm losing, I lost it. Does your dad speak it? He can, but even he's starting to lose it.

• 55:28Speaker 04

  Can you say something in Italian? Just-

• 55:31Speaker 02

  Pizza? Alright.

• 55:32Speaker 04

  You know, see, that was so disrespectful.

• 55:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, this guy-

• 55:35Speaker 04

  Does he, does he warrant a bitch?

• 55:36Speaker 02

  I don't know. You want me to call on Yellow right now and fucking tell him that you're disrespected?

• 55:40Speaker 04

  You know what? Your dad's gonna see this. You've been really mean to us lately.

• 55:43Speaker 02

  Oh my god.

• 55:46Speaker 04

  And like, the cameras are on, so I want to make sure that the world sees this. Like, if your dad sees this.

• 55:51Speaker 02

  I...

• 55:52Speaker 04

  It's kinda crazy you talk to your boss like this.

• 55:54Speaker 02

  And I feel legitimately bullied. Like, I feel like you hurt, you hurting me and...

• 56:00Speaker 04

  I think we have been, like, he's here, we try to talk with him nice, like, we try to, like, bring him stuff.

• 56:04Speaker 02

  And then it's just like making fun of us, and it almost feels like your job's probably in peril a little bit.

• 56:08Speaker 03

  This is...

• 56:10Speaker 02

  Like, I feel like, I don't know, like, I get, I like, I don't know how to feel, I like to have a good environment, but then you come in and you just kinda car crash it.

• 56:17Speaker 04

  Well, so much of this show is our dynamic and being able to, like, move well and talk well.

• 56:21Speaker 02

  Friends, friendly, silly.

• 56:22Speaker 04

  Exactly, and then he comes in, and he's just like...

• 56:24Speaker 02

  I got a big penis and...

• 56:25Speaker 04

  Got a big dick, got big balls, imagine dragging them across your face.

• 56:29Speaker 02

  Exactly, that.

• 56:30Speaker 04

  You know?

• 56:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know.

• 56:33Speaker 03

  He will see that.

• 56:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 56:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 56:36Speaker 02

  Good job.

• 56:37Speaker 04

  Yes!

• 56:38Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 56:39Speaker 04

  If we can get your multi-billionaire dad with giant nuts to fucking like us, that'd be sick.

• 56:44Speaker 02

  But you, are you full Italian?

• 56:47Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 56:48Speaker 04

  Like, why did you look... Like, I asked a math problem. Disappointed, like, yes!

• 56:53Speaker 03

  I think my mom's side had a little bit of Irish, like, English.

• 56:56Speaker 02

  Ah, okay.

• 56:57Speaker 04

  I mean, technically, all of us are not full anything, you know, like, even if we're half, it's like thirty things in there.

• 57:03Speaker 03

  Definitely, definitely Italian, like, majority Italian.

• 57:05Speaker 02

  Have you been to, um, what's that place called?

• 57:08Speaker 04

  Italy.

• 57:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, I thought that's where you were.

• 57:10Speaker 04

  Have you been to Italy?

• 57:11Speaker 03

  I have, I've been to Italy.

• 57:12Speaker 02

  Okay. Would you, you love that one?

• 57:17Speaker 03

  It was, it was.

• 57:17Speaker 04

  That was really good.

• 57:18Speaker 02

  Um, have you been to, uh, that place, where the fuck is it? Uh, Room Forty?

• 57:24Speaker 04

  What the fuck?

• 57:24Speaker 02

  The Italian spot, Room Forty?

• 57:25Speaker 04

  Suck my ass, dude. You're not...

• 57:29Speaker 02

  Have you been to Room Forty?

• 57:30Speaker 04

  Nice try.

• 57:31Speaker 02

  You have some sponsors, though.

  Um, so.

• 59:45Speaker 02

  It's a good try.

• 59:46Speaker 04

  Try it again. Just do it again. For the clip. We got it.

• 59:49Speaker 02

  Have you ever been to room forty?

• 59:51Speaker 04

  Room forty.

• 59:51Speaker 02

  Room for these nuts in your face.

• 59:53Speaker 04

  What the hell? Got him.

• 59:55Speaker 02

  Drilled him.

• 59:55Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 59:56Speaker 02

  Absolutely got him.

• 59:57Speaker 04

  You got me so good. I did. You know what? I applaud that effort.

• 1:00:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:00:02Speaker 03

  Oh, I think Joe pointed at you, actually.

• 1:00:03Speaker 04

  He did.

• 1:00:04Speaker 03

  That's another one.

• 1:00:05Speaker 04

  I got insulted and I made some money. That's the internet today, baby.

• 1:00:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, you wanna play around?

• 1:00:10Speaker 03

  I'll call your dad right now. I'll call your dad and tell him that you've been messing around.

• 1:00:13Speaker 04

  Did you tell his dad what he said to us after the Boston show?

• 1:00:16Speaker 04

  Cause his dad was at the Boston show.

• 1:00:18Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:00:19Speaker 04

  He came to us and came up to us after the Boston show and he said, "My dad might be here, but I want you to know, you embarrassed me in front of my family."

• 1:00:26Speaker 02

  You son of a bitch. Embarrassed me.

• 1:00:29Speaker 04

  He said, "You embarrassed me in front of my family. They were here and excited." And now they're pissed off because you guys suck.

• 1:00:35Speaker 02

  Do you, do you know how like your phone gives you random pictures, like memories or whatever?

• 1:00:39Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:00:40Speaker 02

  I got one the other day from the Boston show and it's just you with the bluest mouth I've ever seen in my life.

• 1:00:46Speaker 04

  They gave us a cake after we won World Sexiest Podcast.

• 1:00:50Speaker 02

  Huge.

• 1:00:51Speaker 04

  Uh.

• 1:00:53Speaker 04

  And they gave us a cake, so if there's a cake. If I walk into a room and there's a cake addressed to me, I have to at least try it.

• 1:01:01Speaker 02

  Did you eat the hot dog cake?

• 1:01:03Speaker 04

  I had, I think a little bite of that.

• 1:01:05Speaker 02

  I didn't think I tried that.

• 1:01:06Speaker 04

  Had a little bite.

• 1:01:07Speaker 02

  What's up?

• 1:01:07Speaker 03

  Hot dog made a cake or cake made a hot dog?

• 1:01:10Speaker 04

  A hot dog made of cake. It was at St. Louis. We've, we've openly spoken about, we keep track on the green rooms at these places. That's still up there. That's still up there.

• 1:01:21Speaker 02

  That was, that was a great one.

• 1:01:21Speaker 04

  That was a good green room, man.

• 1:01:23Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:01:24Speaker 04

  Um. I actually, it's funny that you brought up hot dog. Boys give me strength.

• 1:01:31Speaker 04

  I almost had a hot dog the other day and I really tried not to.

• 1:01:33Speaker 02

  In the winter?

• 1:01:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:35Speaker 02

  Tried not to.

• 1:01:36Speaker 04

  I actually. Let me see, yeah, no, no, no, I succeeded. I walked out of there. Becca and I were laughing.

• 1:01:41Speaker 02

  Walked out of there?

• 1:01:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:43Speaker 02

  Where were you?

• 1:01:44Speaker 04

  So, uh, there's a place in, uh, Jersey. It's like iconic. It's called Jersey Freeze. Uh, and it is like an ice cream spot, but it's been around since like the 50s, but they also do like dogs, burgers, chicken fingers and stuff like that. So we got ice cream and then you can go sit where they have the food. And I'm sitting there and Becca and I, and there's a, there's an old lady, double, double my age at least, old bag sitting right behind me.

• 1:02:11Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 1:02:12Speaker 04

  And she's got two dogs.

• 1:02:14Speaker 02

  She's double barrel dogging?

• 1:02:16Speaker 04

  Double barrel dogging on a date with her pro, pop, I would believe husband. It was very cute, actually, you know, that's a part of me. I'm a soft boy now. And

• 1:02:26Speaker 04

  Becca's like, apparently the hot dogs here are really good. So I was like, how much?

• 1:02:29Speaker 02

  What is she doing by saying that?

• 1:02:31Speaker 04

  Well, she's supporting her husband. That's what she's fucking doing.

• 1:02:33Speaker 02

  Ah, she knows what she's doing.

• 1:02:35Speaker 04

  She knows what she's doing. It gets better. And then I was, cause she's like, oh, we used to come here all the time as kids. She's like, it was perfect. We'd have a basketball game and then after the game, we'd all meet up here.

• 1:02:44Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 1:02:44Speaker 04

  And she's like, we'd come with like three bucks. We'd get a two hot dogs and a soda or a hot dog soda and a burger or whatever. And she's like, how much you think a hot dog is now? I was like, let's go check.

• 1:02:56Speaker 04

  So we go to the front and I'm looking, can't find the price of a hot dog anywhere. So she's like, do they even have hot dogs? I was like, they got them. Look at them right there. They were glistening, shiny bastards.

• 1:03:06Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 1:03:07Speaker 04

  They looked good.

• 1:03:07Speaker 02

  They were spitting at you.

• 1:03:09Speaker 04

  And she's like, it'd be crazy to have one. And I'm like.

• 1:03:13Speaker 02

  Post ice cream hot dog is kind of a wild move.

• 1:03:18Speaker 04

  It's a genius move.

• 1:03:19Speaker 02

  Or mid, mid? Was it mid ice cream?

• 1:03:21Speaker 04

  No, the ice cream was great.

• 1:03:23Speaker 02

  It was gone? No, no, I'm saying, were you in the middle of the ice cream?

• 1:03:25Speaker 04

  I finished the ice cream. I had fully finished the ice cream. Oh, I want a classic vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles on a cone.

• 1:03:35Speaker 02

  No sauce?

• 1:03:35Speaker 04

  No sauce.

• 1:03:36Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:03:37Speaker 04

  I'm a classic American baby boy.

• 1:03:38Speaker 02

  You don't go caramel?

• 1:03:39Speaker 04

  Hmm, not on a soft serve. It'll melt it.

• 1:03:43Speaker 02

  Not hot caramel, just a boom temp caramel.

• 1:03:46Speaker 04

  If you're not going hot, why are you going it?

• 1:03:48Speaker 02

  I go cold.

• 1:03:49Speaker 04

  I want this thing to be shot right out of a warm machine.

• 1:03:51Speaker 02

  I get you.

• 1:03:53Speaker 04

  You know, saying that in our

• 1:03:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:03:56Speaker 04

  Talking about

• 1:03:56Speaker 02

  In this episode. I love when it comes out hot.

• 1:03:59Speaker 04

  But we walk out and she's like, oh, man, that would be really good. And we get in the car and I go, I will go get a fucking hot dog right now.

• 1:04:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:04:07Speaker 04

  And I didn't.

• 1:04:08Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:04:08Speaker 04

  I maintained my strength.

• 1:04:10Speaker 02

  So you still don't know how much they cost?

• 1:04:11Speaker 04

  No, I'll be honest with you, it doesn't matter.

• 1:04:14Speaker 02

  I know.

• 1:04:15Speaker 04

  It doesn't.

• 1:04:16Speaker 02

  $10, what the hell? I bet they're good then.

• 1:04:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:04:21Speaker 02

  And then if it's really like, it's a dollar, we can't pass up on that.

• 1:04:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:04:26Speaker 02

  So it really doesn't matter.

• 1:04:27Speaker 04

  So I'm really trying my best. The other night she goes, uh, she goes, we should, we should do a hot dog night soon for, for the kids. And I'm like, oh my God, yeah, but let's wait until baseball starts. Cause every year for the startup, like opening day of baseball, I come home and Becca has hot dogs about.

• 1:04:40Speaker 02

  Hot dog, uh,

• 1:04:41Speaker 04

  It's a hot dog night.

• 1:04:42Speaker 02

  With, with just unlimited condiments.

• 1:04:44Speaker 04

  I mean, I'm, I'm a simple boy. I got two condiments, but.

• 1:04:47Speaker 02

  It's nice to have a choice though.

• 1:04:48Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. And, uh,

• 1:04:52Speaker 04

  What was that?

• 1:04:53Speaker 02

  Uh, the place is creaking.

• 1:04:54Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. Uh, but, uh,

• 1:04:59Speaker 04

  Creaking fucked me up.

• 1:05:00Speaker 02

  Oh, wow. You scared?

• 1:05:01Speaker 04

  I'm scared, bro.

• 1:05:02Speaker 02

  No, that's fine.

• 1:05:02Speaker 04

  I'm trying to fucking talk about my hot dogs.

• 1:05:03Speaker 02

  You're talking about the hot dogs and there's 50 fucking condiments or whatever that you can choose from.

• 1:05:07Speaker 04

  Dog. So she's like, we're gonna have a hot dog night. I was like, let's wait, cause the World Baseball Classic's coming, so we can early, we can jump early on the hot dogs.

• 1:05:14Speaker 02

  When is this again?

• 1:05:14Speaker 04

  World Baseball Classic, but, uh, March 6th, I think is the day.

• 1:05:18Speaker 02

  Hmm, I know you know the day. Even then though, it's pretty early to the game.

• 1:05:22Speaker 04

  No such thing. And then, um, she was like, no, let's bring the kids to go get hot dogs at, at Jersey Freeze. I was like, let's go tomorrow.

• 1:05:31Speaker 02

  Let's go back.

• 1:05:32Speaker 04

  I thought she was saying like, let's control it at our home. And then I could be like, let's wait, let's wait, let's wait. Yeah.

• 1:05:38Speaker 02

  So now it's like, you want me to go into Jersey Mike's? What's it? Jersey?

• 1:05:42Speaker 04

  Freaks.

• 1:05:43Speaker 02

  Jersey Freaks.

• 1:05:44Speaker 04

  It's Jersey Freeze. It is like, really, really good.

• 1:05:47Speaker 02

  Do they wear old timey, like, ice cream man hats?

• 1:05:50Speaker 04

  No, but they do have like the old timey machines. Like the big fucking big machines that dispense the cold, you know, like the soft serve.

• 1:05:59Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:06:00Speaker 04

  Yeah, it was good.

• 1:06:01Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 1:06:01Speaker 04

  Uh, but-

• 1:06:02Speaker 02

  I wanna go to one of those places that like, it's like a candy shop, but they also, it's, it looks like a bar, but they serve ice cream and shit.

• 1:06:08Speaker 04

  Well, there's that place on the Upper East Side, isn't there?

• 1:06:10Speaker 02

  Is there?

• 1:06:11Speaker 04

  It's like, they still serve Coca-Cola the way it was done in like nineteen oh one.

• 1:06:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's what I mean.

• 1:06:15Speaker 04

  Sands cocaine.

• 1:06:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's like, they put syrup and they just like mix it or whatever.

• 1:06:20Speaker 04

  Syrup and fucking soda water and then they go like that.

• 1:06:22Speaker 02

  I've seen those videos and I'm like, I know that sucks.

• 1:06:25Speaker 04

  No way, that's gotta be, that's gotta be amazing.

• 1:06:28Speaker 02

  I, I feel like it, you know, aesthetically it looks cool, but-

• 1:06:31Speaker 04

  What do we gotta do to get you an egg cream in your body?

• 1:06:34Speaker 02

  Oh my god, I guess I'd go to lunch with my mom, she loves them.

• 1:06:38Speaker 04

  Cause it's just, well, isn't it just like?

• 1:06:40Speaker 02

  It's ice cream and-

• 1:06:41Speaker 04

  Seltzer?

• 1:06:42Speaker 02

  Yeah. It's like, why, mom? I've had one in my life, she made me have one.

• 1:06:46Speaker 04

  Really?

• 1:06:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:47Speaker 04

  Let's do one.

• 1:06:49Speaker 02

  I, I would have it, I mean, it's ice cream, so I'm gonna be happy.

• 1:06:52Speaker 04

  I mean, I won't be happy.

• 1:06:53Speaker 02

  You know what I haven't had in a long time that I would like? An eclair.

• 1:06:56Speaker 04

  What kind? What, you mean like an ice cream eclair or a-

• 1:07:00Speaker 02

  No, no, no, like a, like a pastry. Yeah.

• 1:07:02Speaker 04

  Are those filled? Oh, boy, are they.

• 1:07:05Speaker 02

  Oh, to the brim?

• 1:07:06Speaker 04

  They're filled, brother.

• 1:07:07Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:07:07Speaker 04

  Custard.

• 1:07:09Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 1:07:09Speaker 04

  Custard.

• 1:07:11Speaker 02

  I want one of those, there was something else recently that I was like, oh man, oh, you know what I hate? That like, I think this is a hot take, cause people love them, black and white cookies.

• 1:07:19Speaker 04

  Disgusting.

• 1:07:20Speaker 02

  Whack.

• 1:07:21Speaker 04

  So trash.

• 1:07:22Speaker 02

  They're so whack.

• 1:07:23Speaker 04

  So trash.

• 1:07:23Speaker 02

  Also, and I've said this to you guys, the rainbow cookies, whack!

• 1:07:28Speaker 04

  You're, you need to be sent-

• 1:07:30Speaker 02

  Those are whack, dude!

• 1:07:31Speaker 04

  You need to send upstate and you need to allow me to take a bullet and put it in the back of your fucking head.

• 1:07:35Speaker 02

  People love those cookies, they go so crazy, they're not that good.

• 1:07:39Speaker 04

  Nah, you're bugging, you're bugging, you're bugging.

• 1:07:40Speaker 02

  Italians love it, I know you guys, I love the-

• 1:07:42Speaker 04

  For such a smart- I'm not an Italian, I love them too!

• 1:07:44Speaker 02

  I know, but, you know, you look like an Italian.

• 1:07:47Speaker 04

  They're so good.

• 1:07:48Speaker 02

  I don't like them.

• 1:07:49Speaker 04

  There's, I think that place actually, Jersey Freeze, does like an Italian cookie ice cream.

• 1:07:54Speaker 02

  Oh, nice.

• 1:07:55Speaker 04

  Like, it's like, they mix it in with like, yo.

• 1:07:57Speaker 02

  Anything that, like, when the cookies come in a tin? And they have like those, and then they have like the real dusty ones, I'm like, all these suck.

• 1:08:05Speaker 04

  I, for the first time recently, there was a deli that I went to that gave me some butter cookies.

• 1:08:11Speaker 02

  Butter cookies?

• 1:08:12Speaker 04

  The like, the Italian ones that come in like the bag on like that flower shaped golden plate, you know what I'm talking about? First time I've ever had one of those, I was like, wow, this is actually a good cookie. Every other one I've had, they just crumble in your mouth and they're dust.

• 1:08:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:25Speaker 03

  I, I actually will admit, the rainbow cookies that come in the package you're talking about aren't great. You need more wet ones.

• 1:08:30Speaker 04

  Yeah, you need like legit deli ones. If you get like mass produced, they're garbage.

• 1:08:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, because they're hard then.

• 1:08:35Speaker 02

  I don't like the dusty shit.

• 1:08:37Speaker 04

  No, a good Italian, a good, a good rainbow cookie is kinda wet.

• 1:08:43Speaker 03

  Wet.

• 1:08:43Speaker 04

  It's wet as hell.

• 1:08:44Speaker 03

  Really wet.

• 1:08:45Speaker 04

  And like, like, I'm not like, like a tres leches almost, like not soaked, but like you bite into it and you're like, this is more water than it is dry.

• 1:08:53Speaker 02

  I'd rather that.

• 1:08:54Speaker 04

  It's, what, tres leches?

• 1:08:56Speaker 02

  Well, I love tres leches.

• 1:08:57Speaker 04

  I love, you know, give me all three of them.

• 1:08:59Speaker 03

  Give him a three milks.

• 1:09:02Speaker 04

  No dude, you're crazy. We need, we need, you know, you know, listen, you got a guy that was a tiramisu, you got a tiramisu guy, get a fucking rainbow cookie guy.

• 1:09:11Speaker 02

  Dude, I, I, I will so quickly get rainbow cookies in here.

• 1:09:15Speaker 04

  Get a fucking rainbow cookie guy.

• 1:09:16Speaker 02

  Not just rainbow cookies though, let's get an assortment going.

• 1:09:18Speaker 03

  You want an assortment?

• 1:09:18Speaker 04

  Yeah. We should do a whole episode on patreon.com, that's the basement yard, where we review pastries.

• 1:09:24Speaker 02

  Pastry on.

• 1:09:26Speaker 03

  This is incredible.

• 1:09:27Speaker 02

  It's really good.

• 1:09:28Speaker 04

  This is absolutely.

• 1:09:28Speaker 02

  Pastry on, get a bunch of pastries and then, oh, get a shvojadel.

• 1:09:32Speaker 04

  A shvojadel, a lobster tail, uh, the fucking piñolis, which I don't like.

• 1:09:37Speaker 03

  Isn't a lobster tail the same thing?

• 1:09:38Speaker 04

  No, there's, there's a, there's difference. I think, uh, shvojadel.

• 1:09:42Speaker 02

  You know what, um, you remember, uh, Lugolies? So.

• 1:09:48Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 1:09:48Speaker 04

  Love that place.

• 1:09:49Speaker 02

  Great Italian ices, but you.

• 1:09:51Speaker 04

  The best orange ice I've ever had in my entire life.

• 1:09:53Speaker 02

  They have great ices. What a simple concept.

• 1:09:56Speaker 04

  Spamoni though, shut up.

• 1:09:58Speaker 02

  Spamoni is like a Frank Sinatra, it's, it reminds me of Frank Sinatra.

• 1:10:01Speaker 04

  Yeah, and he's a good musician, but, but he is dead.

• 1:10:05Speaker 02

  He's dead and old, um, but they always had, you know the rock candies?

• 1:10:10Speaker 04

  Yes, they'd have them in the thing, like, people use those for like cappuccinos and stuff like that.

• 1:10:15Speaker 02

  Real?

• 1:10:15Speaker 03

  Oh, to like mix.

• 1:10:17Speaker 04

  Beck and I went to a steakhouse, uh, the other day.

• 1:10:19Speaker 02

  They had rock candy?

• 1:10:20Speaker 04

  And they, she got a cappuccino and they put a thing of rock candy on her plate and she, to sweeten it up, she stirs it with that.

• 1:10:27Speaker 03

  That's actually very useful.

• 1:10:28Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:10:30Speaker 03

  Oh, I thought you were gonna say something.

• 1:10:31Speaker 04

  I'm gonna yell at him again for not getting more fucking pastries in here.

• 1:10:33Speaker 02

  We'll get a bunch.

• 1:10:33Speaker 03

  Did you just text your pastry connect?

• 1:10:35Speaker 02

  I texted the person who will text the connect, yes.

• 1:10:38Speaker 04

  Also get some Greek pastries, cause the Greeks know how to do pastries also.

• 1:10:41Speaker 02

  Also get more tiramisu.

• 1:10:43Speaker 04

  Tiramisu.

• 1:10:44Speaker 02

  And eighty pastries.

• 1:10:46Speaker 04

  Ganolis.

• 1:10:49Speaker 04

  Rainbow cookies, pinolis, whatever that one is that looks like an ass.

• 1:10:53Speaker 02

  Huh?

• 1:10:54Speaker 04

  You know what I'm talking about.

• 1:10:55Speaker 02

  Do they do donuts there?

• 1:10:56Speaker 04

  Nah, donuts are not Italian.

• 1:10:57Speaker 03

  We're fancy, fancy place.

• 1:10:59Speaker 04

  Fancy place.

• 1:10:59Speaker 02

  Who's "we"? It's not even yours, you even have the guys know.

• 1:11:01Speaker 04

  You gotta text a guy to text a guy, you know how to fucking handle this.

• 1:11:03Speaker 02

  We don't do it, what the fuck?

• 1:11:05Speaker 04

  And I'm talking like, get some Greeks in, get some Greek stuff in here, get some fucking baklava.

• 1:11:09Speaker 02

  Yo, baklava is sticky as a motherfucker though.

• 1:11:23Speaker 04

  You've been to Stamatys, right? When they give you the complimentary, galak the booty go at the end? Wait, what?

• 1:11:29Speaker 02

  No. Bro, I actually had this like, I think it's Arabic, it was at, I was at a coffee place and they're like, oh, this is like our pastry and whatever, I forget the name of it. But I had it and I was like, this shit is fucking crazy.

• 1:11:39Speaker 04

  So galak, it's called galak the booty go, I know I'm saying it right, I don't know how to spell it, don't even ask.

• 1:11:44Speaker 02

  The booty go?

• 1:11:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:11:45Speaker 03

  Don't let the booty go.

  It'll take your balls and it'll shred them to shreds.

• 1:12:02Speaker 02

  What is custard?

• 1:12:03Speaker 04

  Uh, it's just like a thickened pudding, kinda like pudding, like pudding is I think technically a custard, but it's a little thicker.

• 1:12:10Speaker 02

  Okay, I'm into it, I'm into it, bro, when shit is, when shit has custard, I'm like, this is probably gonna be good.

• 1:12:14Speaker 04

  It's like, it's like pudding, am I right?

• 1:12:29Speaker 02

  If I had that accessible to me, I could literally drink it.

• 1:12:33Speaker 04

  Uh, uh, uh, what's it called? Um, creme brulee, that's a custard under there.

• 1:12:37Speaker 02

  Fuck with that.

• 1:12:39Speaker 04

  Is flan technically a custard?

• 1:12:41Speaker 02

  Flan?

• 1:12:41Speaker 04

  Get some flan in here, by the way, I will fucking dog.

• 1:12:43Speaker 02

  No way you Italians flan it up in that bakery.

• 1:12:46Speaker 04

  No, that's the Hispanics.

• 1:12:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:12:48Speaker 04

  That's the Hispanic, you know how he hates them.

• 1:12:50Speaker 02

  Right, right.

• 1:12:51Speaker 04

  Hey, by the way, uh, Ant Stad, if you're still watching this. He said he hated me because I was Hispanic.

• 1:12:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, he did say that, and I was so fucking sad.

• 1:12:59Speaker 04

  It was...

• 1:13:00Speaker 02

  And that's, you know...

• 1:13:01Speaker 04

  I've never been identified and attacked because of my nationality and heritage.

• 1:13:07Speaker 02

  It's not really something I want in the workplace either. It's just something that like, I feel like I...

• 1:13:15Speaker 02

  I can't...

• 1:13:16Speaker 04

  Well, you know, you-

• 1:13:16Speaker 02

  I can't let go.

• 1:13:17Speaker 04

  You work your whole life establishing the basis for your self-worth, and in a minute, that can crumble. And, you know...

• 1:13:24Speaker 02

  And a part, I mean, it's jeopardizing everything that we're kind of trying to stand for here.

• 1:13:29Speaker 04

  We're very forward-facing with our personalities. I think a lot of people like this show, like us, like the studio, because the people that you see are the people that you get.

• 1:13:36Speaker 02

  We're trying to keep it light and silly.

• 1:13:41Speaker 02

  And unfortunately, there's a person that comes in and does stuff like that, and is now mocking me.

• 1:13:48Speaker 04

  Do you see how he's mocking you?

• 1:13:49Speaker 02

  He's mocking me, like a mockingbird.

• 1:13:50Speaker 04

  Completely undercutting your ability to feel real emotions.

• 1:13:54Speaker 02

  You're mocking me like a mockingbird, and, which reminds me of Tequila Mockingbird, which-

• 1:14:00Speaker 04

  Which, also, Teela Tequila.

• 1:14:02Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:14:03Speaker 04

  Tequila Mockingbird?

• 1:14:05Speaker 02

  Oh, Teela Tequila?

• 1:14:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:14:07Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 1:14:08Speaker 04

  What?

• 1:14:09Speaker 02

  Well, Tequila Mockingbird and Teela Tequila, two things that say the N-word.

• 1:14:13Speaker 04

  I thought you said-

• 1:14:14Speaker 02

  I'll say that.

• 1:14:17Speaker 04

  Say, "I'll say that." I thought you said, "Tequila Mockingbird." I know-

• 1:14:22Speaker 02

  To kill-

• 1:14:22Speaker 04

  I know "to kill a mockingbird." I didn't know, I was waiting for the what Tequila Mockingbird is.

• 1:14:27Speaker 02

  Oh, I don't know what that is. But what the fuck is that, by the way?

• 1:14:30Speaker 04

  Hold on, wait a sec, business idea.

• 1:14:31Speaker 03

  I already bought this, so I'm just gonna-

• 1:14:32Speaker 02

  You know, we almost got out of the episode with you doing that?

• 1:14:35Speaker 03

  It was close.

• 1:14:36Speaker 04

  A tequila brand called Tequila Mockingbird.

• 1:14:42Speaker 02

  Just don't even, what is that?

• 1:14:44Speaker 03

  Uh, it's a, it's a little violin. I saved for when Frankie was, you know... Complaining about something.

• 1:14:50Speaker 02

  Oh. So you're saying Frank complains so much that you're like, "I gotta get a toy."

• 1:14:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, but then it turned, it was just useful here.

• 1:14:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:00Speaker 04

  I complain about something a lot?

• 1:15:03Speaker 04

  I-

• 1:15:03Speaker 02

  Don't let him turn us against each other here. Don't point at me.

• 1:15:06Speaker 04

  I'm not, my hands down, don't you worry.

• 1:15:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:08Speaker 03

  I didn't say, "You complain a lot." I said, "If you've ever complained," like, in the future.

• 1:15:11Speaker 04

  No, that's not what you said.

• 1:15:12Speaker 02

  Oh, I don't know if you said that.

• 1:15:14Speaker 04

  No, no, no, brother. No, no, no.

• 1:15:15Speaker 02

  You said, "When Frankie complains," you know, saying that's inevitable.

• 1:15:19Speaker 03

  Just play it off here.

• 1:15:23Speaker 02

  It's actually a beautiful instrument.

• 1:15:24Speaker 04

  I wish. I really wish.

• 1:15:26Speaker 02

  That just reminds me of The Godfather, by the way.

• 1:15:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, it also sounded like The Godfather meets Titanic.

• 1:15:31Speaker 03

  I think it's just a violin, that's why.

• 1:15:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:34Speaker 04

  See how rude that was? Do you see how rude that was?

• 1:15:37Speaker 02

  You don't gotta, you don't gotta tell me.

• 1:15:38Speaker 04

  I'll get in touch with...

• 1:15:39Speaker 02

  With the powers that be.

• 1:15:41Speaker 04

  With your father.

• 1:15:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:42Speaker 04

  Wait till your father gets the word of this.

• 1:15:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:15:45Speaker 03

  That's been on my desk for like two months, I've been waiting for a moment.

• 1:15:49Speaker 02

  This is gonna be the second worst day of your dad's life, dude. The first one is when they were like... Getting rid of Christopher Columbus Day or whatever.

• 1:15:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, he was probably upset about it. I imagine he was unhappy about that. I imagine.

• 1:16:03Speaker 03

  How much more can they take?

• 1:16:04Speaker 04

  How much more, yeah.

• 1:16:05Speaker 02

  What the hell?

• 1:16:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:16:06Speaker 02

  We don't have anything.

• 1:16:07Speaker 04

  It's just a day.

• 1:16:10Speaker 04

  You know?

• 1:16:11Speaker 02

  Oh, man. Um, well, I think that's all we have for today. What a fun episode.

• 1:16:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, that really was a fun episode. Hey, great job all around, boys.

• 1:16:18Speaker 02

  I will say that the best thing to come out of this episode is the fact that we had the idea of the pastry on, because I am ready to eat pastries.

• 1:16:25Speaker 04

  I am so proud of you.

• 1:16:27Speaker 02

  I'm so...

• 1:16:28Speaker 04

  For a pastry on.

• 1:16:29Speaker 02

  I'm so excited to eat pastries. There's nothing better in this world.

• 1:16:33Speaker 04

  Uh, a few things are better.

• 1:16:35Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:16:35Speaker 04

  Just do me a favor, if we do get these, cup of whole milk. You could get your almond milk or whatever you fucking drink in Brooklyn.

• 1:16:42Speaker 02

  You probably...

• 1:16:44Speaker 04

  I would just like, I need, when something is that decadent and rich, I need a cup of whole milk with it.

• 1:16:49Speaker 02

  It's also gonna dry me out, so I will need some wet.

• 1:16:53Speaker 04

  Okay, that's the way you put it?

• 1:16:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, I will need something wet to wet me up.

• 1:16:57Speaker 04

  You need something to, to, to fucking wet your throat.

• 1:16:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:17:00Speaker 04

  At the end of the full circle moment, baby.

• 1:17:04Speaker 02

  First circle.

• 1:17:04Speaker 04

  Heat and rivalry. Start with wet throats, end on them.

• 1:17:07Speaker 02

  There you go. Whoa, alright, well...

• 1:17:09Speaker 04

  I am not looking, I wanna make sure I say this openly.

• 1:17:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:17:13Speaker 04

  Make sure you tell the person that does our graphics to pick the one for this one very carefully.

• 1:17:18Speaker 02

  I wonder who's gonna be who.

• 1:17:20Speaker 04

  I, I, I mean, I hope that neither of us are, I think it's maybe just us in hockey stances.

• 1:17:24Speaker 02

  Well, one of us has to be the Russian, the other one has to be the Canadian.

• 1:17:26Speaker 04

  Okay, but we don't need to be like, fucking like...

• 1:17:28Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:17:30Speaker 04

  You know.

• 1:17:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be two guys.

• 1:17:32Speaker 04

  You never know, because you guys have had to give some notes in the past.

• 1:17:36Speaker 02

  We would. This feels like one that we're gonna have to go back and forth with man who about. Yeah, I'm imagining just the hockey face-off thing.

• 1:17:43Speaker 04

  Hockey face-off is good.

• 1:17:44Speaker 02

  I don't know if you two have to be stacked. Yeah. Yeah, we can't have this.

• 1:17:48Speaker 04

  I wanna make sure I say that on the record.

• 1:17:51Speaker 02

  Frank's kids are gonna see this photo. We can't, we can't do that.

• 1:17:53Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:17:54Speaker 02

  Um, that's so funny. Um, alright, where can they find you Frank?

• 1:17:57Speaker 04

  Uh, the Frank Alvers all over social media. Make sure you check out the Patreon, patreon.com/thebasementyard, where we will have a pastry episode soon. You fucking believe it, okay? And you know what? We could sprinkle in some like pastry facts. Like where does the word cannoli come from? These are all good things that we could possibly do.

• 1:18:12Speaker 02

  We're gonna leave that part out. Uh, it's Italy.

• 1:18:18Speaker 02

  We're just gonna eat them.

• 1:18:19Speaker 04

  We're just gonna eat them and talk about life. Let's have a real, like the pastry episode, let's make it like we're old Italian men sitting at the table and there's, you know.

• 1:18:27Speaker 02

  Oh, should we wear glasses and, um, Kangols?

• 1:18:30Speaker 04

  Kangols, glasses, wigs.

• 1:18:32Speaker 02

  Newspaper.

• 1:18:33Speaker 04

  Newspaper, you know, uh, let's, let's really commit like a, like a, like a fucking Fiorezza Italia shirt.

• 1:18:40Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. An undertone of like general racism and stuff.

• 1:18:44Speaker 04

  You have, do you still have your tutti jersey?

• 1:18:46Speaker 02

  I never bought a tutti jersey.

• 1:18:47Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 1:18:48Speaker 02

  But I definitely would want one. I wanted one.

• 1:18:51Speaker 04

  You know what? Maybe your dad can come in here, so we can have some positivity in this room.

• 1:18:55Speaker 02

  I don't know if he's the one you want in here for positivity in the room. I don't know either.

• 1:18:59Speaker 04

  What would happen if on the episode I asked him about Christopher Columbus Day?

• 1:19:04Speaker 02

  I don't, he probably, I don't think it'd be, like who's that probably? Really? Who's that? The guy who directed Home Alone? Look it up. It is, it's Chris Columbus. Uh.

• 1:19:15Speaker 04

  He's Christopher though.

• 1:19:17Speaker 02

  Where can I find you bud?

• 1:19:18Speaker 04

  You can find me at AntPrisco on Instagram.

• 1:19:20Speaker 02

  You're welcome. And Matt just bought me something with custard, hopefully.

• 1:19:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:25Speaker 02

  You could, we could take away one of your points. Thank you, I appreciate it. Uh, but you guys can go follow me at Joe Santagato and go follow the show at The Basement Yard on TikTok and Instagram. And that is all. See you guys next time.
