  Welcome back to the basement-

• 0:36Speaker 02

  Welcome back to the Basement Yard. What are you doing with your fingers?

• 0:39Speaker 01

  I don't know. I had one of those energy drinks and now I feel like I'm moving faster than ever.

• 0:43Speaker 02

  Go real fast. Run in your seat, really fast. No, run, run, run, run, run. I know that's not how you run.

• 0:51Speaker 01

  Whoa, dude.

• 0:52Speaker 02

  What's going on?

• 0:53Speaker 01

  I just got lightheaded.

• 0:54Speaker 02

  Please don't go down.

• 0:55Speaker 01

  You don't think-

• 0:56Speaker 02

  He passed out doing a fake run during the podcast.

• 0:59Speaker 01

  That shows how shitty my shape is.

• 1:02Speaker 02

  My shape? How shitty my-

• 1:04Speaker 01

  My shape, not in shape. I got my, my shape is bad. I'm not, I'm, my shape is not in, it's out.

• 1:09Speaker 02

  Can't run too far, my shape is off. I'm misshapen.

• 1:11Speaker 01

  I, uh, I, I, you don't do that? Like, when you're like really energetic, you feel like you're moving faster than ever?

• 1:19Speaker 02

  I, I feel like I could feel all my hair.

• 1:22Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:22Speaker 02

  Like, when I drink an energy drink, I feel like I could feel all the hair on my body.

• 1:25Speaker 01

  I feel like I could feel like I could, like, shoot lightning out of my fingers.

• 1:30Speaker 02

  I get that too. And I also do a lot of this.

• 1:32Speaker 01

  I do, you know what? That's weird. I do this and I crack my, my fingers crack sometimes. I do it. I'll just go like-

• 1:38Speaker 02

  I become very aware of my arms and I'm like, I can move them.

• 1:42Speaker 01

  I, I just get like, I get like, really like-

• 1:46Speaker 02

  I can feel my, I can feel my eyebrows sometimes and I'm just like, yo, what, like, you have to become very aware-

• 1:52Speaker 01

  I hear my blinks. That fucks me up.

• 1:56Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:57Speaker 01

  You don't hear your blinks sometimes?

• 1:58Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 1:59Speaker 01

  When you blink, you're just like-

• 2:00Speaker 02

  It goes like-

• 2:02Speaker 01

  Not, not like I'm a fucking shy guy.

• 2:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:06Speaker 01

  What does that mean? That's a, that's a thing for us.

• 2:09Speaker 02

  Oh, shy guy?

• 2:09Speaker 01

  Shy guy. Yeah.

• 2:10Speaker 02

  Yeah. Oh.

• 2:12Speaker 03

  That sounded like Yoshi.

• 2:13Speaker 01

  No.

• 2:13Speaker 02

  It did.

• 2:14Speaker 01

  That's Yoshi, baby.

• 2:15Speaker 03

  That was pretty good.

• 2:16Speaker 02

  Wow, you just got them all in there.

• 2:17Speaker 01

  I, I gotta come, I mean, I have kids. I do this regularly.

• 2:20Speaker 02

  You just do a show?

• 2:22Speaker 01

  You will too when you have children. They'll be like, they'll be like, daddy, daddy, pick me up out of my bed made of solid gold and do a fucking impression. And you're gonna be like, alright, I could do an impression of Rick Rubin, because that's all, that's the book you're reading at the time.

• 2:38Speaker 02

  The fact that you know Rick Rubin's name is fascinating to me.

• 2:41Speaker 01

  He was a music guy, right?

• 2:42Speaker 02

  Kinda, yeah.

• 2:43Speaker 01

  Yeah. Um, long white beard?

• 2:45Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know.

• 2:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:47Speaker 01

  How fast is you could do this?

• 2:48Speaker 02

  What?

• 2:49Speaker 01

  Go as fast as you could go. No, just two fingers. Ready?

• 2:51Speaker 02

  These two?

• 2:52Speaker 01

  Ready? Hold on, slow down.

• 2:54Speaker 02

  Why do I have to stop? I'm doing it.

• 2:55Speaker 01

  I'm saying, I wanna see how fast you can, just one. How fast you can go. Go as fast as you can go. Ready?

• 3:00Speaker 02

  I don't know which one I'm better at. Uh, this one?

• 3:01Speaker 01

  Ready?

• 3:02Speaker 02

  No, this one.

• 3:02Speaker 01

  Set, go.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  This is stupid.

• 3:04Speaker 01

  That's nothing, dude! That's slow as fuck!

• 3:10Speaker 02

  Hope you're all entertained. Uh, you're not even doing it. You're not even kicking your feet there.

• 3:15Speaker 01

  Kicking, like, switching?

• 3:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, well-

• 3:18Speaker 03

  That was pretty good.

• 3:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 3:19Speaker 01

  I wish they made bigger chairs. I'm sorry, I gotta stop.

• 3:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:23Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 3:23Speaker 02

  The energy drink is going crazy. Anyway, before we start this episode, which, I mean, we've already done, just wanted to let everyone know, if you are coming to the shows this year, we're doing a very fun segment where we're, we are going to allow everyone in the audience-

• 3:35Speaker 01

  To peg Joey.

• 3:36Speaker 02

  To-

• 3:43Speaker 03

  That'd be pretty difficult to set up.

• 3:48Speaker 02

  Nobody loves you more than you.

• 3:51Speaker 01

  You're goddamn right, bitch.

• 3:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's just, it's just-

• 3:54Speaker 01

  Self-love is the best love.

• 3:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:56Speaker 01

  It's not.

• 3:57Speaker 02

  Uh, we have this segment in the new show where you guys can submit photos for us. So last year, we had the cards and that was like, the people in the crowd submitted those cards. So if you're coming to a show, you can go to thebasementyard.com/submit and you will see this landing page. So there's a dropdown menu where it can show you which show you're attending. You put in that show, then you upload a photo. It can be of pretty much anything. It could be like an embarrassing moment, or a funny thing, or just the craziest thing that you have in your camera roll, within reason here. Uh, and, uh, you submit it and then we can put those things up on the, uh, we're gonna put them up on the screen.

• 4:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:38Speaker 02

  So it's gonna be all things, um, all the things that we put on the screen are gonna be from people at the show that night. So, go to thebasementyard.com/submit, submit your crazy photos and, uh, yeah, maybe you'll be on the big screen at the show.

• 4:52Speaker 01

  There were some of those shows where those cards were so incredibly memorable and just out of fucking left-field insane.

• 5:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 5:00Speaker 01

  I can only imagine what these pictures are gonna be.

• 5:03Speaker 02

  I know.

• 5:03Speaker 01

  If you could, if you, do you have a picture you could think of that you would submit for this that just needs context but has none?

• 5:11Speaker 02

  I'd have to go through.

• 5:12Speaker 01

  You'd have to go through the-

• 5:13Speaker 02

  And find something good.

• 5:13Speaker 01

  The annals of Joe Santagato's old pictures?

• 5:16Speaker 02

  I'd have to go all, yeah, I'd have to go back in my camera roll and find something.

• 5:19Speaker 01

  There are some that I have, I, I've-

• 5:21Speaker 02

  You save like every photo, don't you?

• 5:23Speaker 01

  Oh, I don't know about every. I have a lot going back.

• 5:25Speaker 02

  Don't you have like a laptop that has like thousands of photos?

• 5:30Speaker 01

  I honestly, I haven't checked it in years and I don't know if it's like one of those things that like I need to save or like they just dissipate into the fucking, the cloud or whatever.

• 5:37Speaker 02

  Maybe it's not you that I'm thinking of.

• 5:38Speaker 01

  Um, it might not be, but there are, I have pictures of like, 'cause I was the one, like I said, when we'd do Vegas trips, I was the one that had that life-proof case.

• 5:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 5:48Speaker 01

  So like, I would bring my phone everywhere and people would just take my phone and take pictures and stuff like that.

• 5:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 5:55Speaker 01

  It was, it was a fun time. It was an interesting time.

• 5:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, so we're gonna find out about these people in the crowd, but again, this is what it looks like. Go to thebasementyard.com/submit. Send those photos in, uh, for each of the cities that you're gonna be at and, uh, yeah, that'll be fun. Also, there's a, there's an option to like tell the story behind the photo and you can put your name or you don't have to put your name, whatever it is.

• 6:17Speaker 01

  I think I'm gonna submit one and see if, uh, if I can-

• 6:20Speaker 02

  Throw it up?

• 6:21Speaker 01

  Slide it by.

• 6:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:22Speaker 01

  If I can get it by whoever's gonna be reviewing this.

• 6:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, we'll figure it out.

• 6:25Speaker 01

  Let's hope it's Greg, because if it's you, you're gonna be a sick freak with it.

• 6:28Speaker 03

  I would be good.

• 6:31Speaker 01

  Yeah, convincing.

• 6:32Speaker 02

  Why are you talking like that?

• 6:33Speaker 03

  I don't, I couldn't think of the words.

• 6:34Speaker 01

  I would be a good-

• 6:35Speaker 03

  I've had a, it's, it's, you know, we're chilling. I've also had one, so the words, the brain's going faster than the mouth.

• 6:40Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 6:40Speaker 01

  I love when that happens.

• 6:42Speaker 03

  Well, yeah.

• 6:43Speaker 02

  No, your mouth goes before your brain, for sure.

• 6:46Speaker 01

  Sometimes.

• 6:48Speaker 02

  Sometimes. I can just tell that sometimes you start talking and then you start looking around the room. And I'm like, oh, he's looking for the rest of it.

• 6:57Speaker 01

  What is that?

• 6:58Speaker 02

  All the time.

• 6:59Speaker 01

  Maybe when we record, but I'm a very well-spoken and, and fucking, I compile my thoughts.

• 7:04Speaker 02

  Fucking-

• 7:06Speaker 01

  I compile my thoughts well.

• 7:07Speaker 02

  No.

• 7:09Speaker 01

  Yes, I do? What the hell does that mean?

• 7:11Speaker 02

  No, I'm talking about when we were recording.

• 7:12Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, no, no, no. When I'm recording, it's-

• 7:14Speaker 02

  You just let it rip.

• 7:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, well-

• 7:16Speaker 02

  And then we have to figure out what we're doing here, you know?

• 7:19Speaker 01

  That does happen, sometimes, if not a lot of it, you know? But, so what?

• 7:27Speaker 02

  I don't need this.

• 7:29Speaker 02

  I don't need the whole-

• 7:30Speaker 01

  So what? I'm whimsical and we used to, there used to be companies that would-

• 7:35Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 7:36Speaker 01

  See what he's doing?

• 7:36Speaker 02

  I just know, I just know.

• 7:38Speaker 01

  You're attacking me, honestly. This is becoming a form of-

• 7:41Speaker 02

  A full-blown attack?

• 7:42Speaker 01

  Assault.

• 7:43Speaker 02

  Where assault?

• 7:44Speaker 01

  You're assaulting me.

• 7:44Speaker 02

  Speaking of assault, that was the name of the, the brand that I, like, the pre-workout that made me feel all my hair.

• 7:50Speaker 01

  Brother, if you in the early to mid 2010s wanted to have a successful pre-workout, you needed to name it something that sounded like a crime.

• 7:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, that would make a conservative just like get horny. It'd be like, blood fire!

• 8:02Speaker 01

  And you're like, oh. Welcome, it's called chimpanzee cum, you know, just like, no.

• 8:08Speaker 02

  First place your mind went? 'Cause I was on a different vibe there. I was thinking more like-

• 8:14Speaker 01

  Dragon cum, that's a better one.

• 8:16Speaker 02

  I wasn't thinking cum. The chimpanzee wasn't the problem, Frank.

• 8:20Speaker 02

  I was thinking more like bullets and guns and fire and explosives.

• 8:24Speaker 01

  Well, the first one I remember was C4, which lines up with your expl- and I remember taking it and like-

• 8:29Speaker 02

  They still have it.

• 8:30Speaker 01

  I know, but it's not what it used to be.

• 8:32Speaker 02

  Oh, I don't know that.

• 8:32Speaker 01

  It's not, I mean, I, I took a, a pre-workout like, a couple of years ago and I was like, okay, I feel like I've been pre-worked, but like-

• 8:45Speaker 01

  but like, it's nowhere near what it used to be in like 2013.

• 8:50Speaker 02

  Now imagine just a full eight-ball bang.

• 8:54Speaker 01

  Well, I think a lot of those old pre-workouts got in trouble because they had some shit that's like-

• 8:59Speaker 02

  Similar?

• 9:00Speaker 01

  Pretty much methamphetamine.

• 9:02Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:02Speaker 01

  Like, they're closest, as close it could legally be to methamphetamines without getting arrested.

• 9:08Speaker 02

  What a crazy concept, man.

• 9:10Speaker 01

  I remember I had one called The Curse.

• 9:13Speaker 02

  The Curse?

• 9:14Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 9:15Speaker 02

  What, did it have like a fucking witch on it?

• 9:17Speaker 01

  I think it still exists. It, it just had a skull with like, like eyes, like bright red eyes.

• 9:23Speaker 02

  The Curse?

• 9:24Speaker 01

  The Curse pre-workout. You, oh, come on, baby.

• 9:27Speaker 03

  Oh my god.

• 9:28Speaker 01

  Is it still there?

• 9:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, brother.

• 9:31Speaker 01

  That's what you bought? Yo, that shit, it's still around. I'm not kidding, you would be able to count the amount of times that your dick is fucking puckered. This made you feel every part of your body.

• 9:42Speaker 02

  I'm not gonna lie, sometimes-

• 9:44Speaker 01

  You feel your dick?

• 9:45Speaker 02

  I can feel it, like-

• 9:47Speaker 01

  Living.

• 9:48Speaker 02

  Like, yeah, I can feel my wiener living.

• 9:50Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 9:51Speaker 02

  I'm like, yo, is it breathing right now?

• 9:52Speaker 01

  I don't know what it was, but like, there was a point when I was like a teenager where like, I had like, it was brain and dick, that's all that mattered on my body and I like knew, like, I had like a, like a, like I was in step, in lockstep with it. I knew what it was gonna do.

• 10:07Speaker 02

  I had a summer like that with my nipples. Where like, I knew, I could feel my nipples at all times. Now I just have nipples. I don't even think about it.

• 10:14Speaker 01

  It's like a-

• 10:15Speaker 02

  Are you confused? You look confused? You've never been in tune with one part of your body for a summer?

• 10:19Speaker 01

  Nah, I was thinking, oh, your fucking giant fucking balls and shit, it would take you four hours to get a thought from your nerve endings to your balls.

• 10:26Speaker 03

  You guys are locked in. I'm, I'm, I'm here for the ride.

• 10:28Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 10:29Speaker 01

  The, I'm telling you, these old pre-workouts-

• 10:31Speaker 02

  The Curse is crazy.

• 10:32Speaker 01

  I know. There's, there's other ones that are like, it's called like, you know, Assault and Battery.

• 10:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:37Speaker 01

  C4, Insane Veins, Woke AF. No disrespect, that sucks.

• 10:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's terrible.

• 10:44Speaker 01

  That sucks.

• 10:45Speaker 02

  Woke AF pre-workout. Oh, god, what are we doing?

• 10:49Speaker 01

  Find some other ones. You gotta go-

• 10:51Speaker 02

  Just type in like pre-workout-

• 10:53Speaker 01

  Insane pre-workouts.

• 10:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, like, yeah, yeah.

• 10:56Speaker 01

  Because there are some that just like, I'm telling you, they were the closest to drugs that I've-

• 11:00Speaker 02

  Just one called just motherfucker.

• 11:05Speaker 02

  It's like, yo, take this, it's called motherfucker.

• 11:08Speaker 01

• 11:22Speaker 01

  Go to images, go to images, and we'll see. Okay, so what do we have? Chad mode.

• 11:27Speaker 02

  This one's called psychotic. First of all, that one says, "I am God."

• 11:36Speaker 01

  Insane Labs with a Z.

• 11:38Speaker 02

  I am God!

• 11:40Speaker 01

  I am God. That is fucking awesome.

• 11:42Speaker 02

  Apple flavored Adam and Eve.

• 11:44Speaker 01

  Ooh!

  You know what I mean?

• 11:46Speaker 01

  That's a good one.

• 11:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, psychotic.

• 11:48Speaker 01

  Look at the other one. Ejacu Max.

  And it would be maximum male support. I don't know if that's real.

• 11:58Speaker 02

  Oh, wait, this isn't for-

• 11:59Speaker 01

  That might be a dick pill.

• 12:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, that is.

• 12:01Speaker 01

  This might be a dick pill.

• 12:02Speaker 02

  This is for bigger, uh, explosions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 12:06Speaker 01

  How does that even, what is it? Just put gunpowder behind your jizz?

• 12:09Speaker 02

  No, no, no.

• 12:10Speaker 01

  No, no.

• 12:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think-

• 12:13Speaker 02

  I mean, hey. Alright, let's take a look at the other one. Can we scroll down here?

• 12:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah. Edge of insanity. That's what a lot of them are, psychotic. Like, they, they are trying to show you that, like, taking this is gonna put you in a state of psychosis, so you can work out better.

• 12:26Speaker 02

  Bulge is so good.

• 12:27Speaker 03

  This one's called hashtag not for pussy.

• 12:30Speaker 02

  Not for pussies, or just not for pussy?

• 12:32Speaker 03

  Just not for pussy.

• 12:33Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 12:34Speaker 01

  If that's real, that all the way sucks, dude.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  That's so bad.

• 12:38Speaker 01

  And it's funny, because these are the worst people in the world taking these, AKA 2013 Frank. That's just what-

• 12:44Speaker 02

  That says pre-con.

• 12:45Speaker 01

  That can't be real, dude.

• 12:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't know if that one's-

• 12:47Speaker 01

  That can't be real, that can't be real. Bulge, there's bulge.

• 13:07Speaker 03

  Pump?

• 13:08Speaker 02

  V2. I'm telling you right now, the worst person, you're gonna, next time you go to the gym, the worst person there that's taking this is gonna see you and beat you with a fucking lead pipe.

• 13:22Speaker 02

  Just type in, like, funny pre-workout names. Let's narrow it down.

• 13:25Speaker 01

  Are we not seeing them?

• 13:26Speaker 02

  No, we are, but I feel like-

• 13:27Speaker 01

  Fucked up.

• 13:30Speaker 01

  Christopher's Juicy Pumps?

• 13:31Speaker 02

  That's, that's insane.

• 13:33Speaker 01

  They specified who made it.

• 13:35Speaker 03

  I think the, the insane ones and funny ones are one and the same here.

• 13:39Speaker 01

  Spit pre-workout in my mouth.

• 13:41Speaker 02

  No.

• 13:41Speaker 01

  I can't believe I am God.

• 13:43Speaker 02

  Bulge is unbelievable.

• 13:47Speaker 01

  But it, I gotta say, you do, like, the closest I've ever had to, like, a psychotic break where I feel like I am a deity, is when I've taken an old-school pre-workout.

• 13:58Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, also, when you're on pre-workout, and then, or any sort of caffeine, at least for me, because I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, and then I am doing a workout, if I'm not breathing properly, properly, and then I finish my set, I'm kinda like, whoa, and like, my whole world is closing in.

• 14:15Speaker 01

  Gunk, gunk, gunk. Like, it feels like, you know when you play, like, Call of Duty, and like, you're playing the first-person shooter, and you get shot, and it's like-

• 14:23Speaker 02

  You're almost near death.

• 14:24Speaker 01

  You're almost near it. That's what it feels like when you take these things.

• 14:28Speaker 02

  Yo, the other day, I went for a run, and then it felt like, like, I had like a headache. I was, I was like, dehydrated. But I like, went for a run, and I was like, I felt my, it felt like only the top half of my head was pounding. And I could feel it moving.

• 14:42Speaker 01

  I've, yo, I'm not kidding, I've had headaches where I'm like, I feel like Megamind. Like, I feel like my head is-

• 14:48Speaker 02

  It's getting bigger.

• 14:49Speaker 01

  It's getting bigger to the point where it's gonna fucking erupt.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:52Speaker 01

  That shit is scary.

• 14:53Speaker 02

  I know, and that's, so I took my hat off, because I'm like, let me let my big head breathe.

• 14:56Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:57Speaker 02

  Do I have a big head?

• 14:58Speaker 01

  No.

• 14:59Speaker 02

  Do I have a normal head, or a big head?

• 15:00Speaker 01

  I think a normal head.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Do I have a big nose?

• 15:02Speaker 01

  If anything, you, no, I think you're pretty normal, like-

• 15:05Speaker 02

  I guess your head's a little big.

• 15:06Speaker 01

  It's a little big?

• 15:07Speaker 02

  Sometimes I feel like-

• 15:08Speaker 01

  But you have a smaller head than I do.

• 15:09Speaker 02

  I got a big neck, I know that.

• 15:11Speaker 01

  Here, put this on, this fitted, this is a fitted, so it'll tell you if it's smaller than my head.

• 15:15Speaker 02

  What size is this?

• 15:16Speaker 01

  7'3 8".

• 15:19Speaker 01

  That's a good size.

• 15:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:20Speaker 01

  I think you have a normal- Yo, has your TikTok been giving you what it's been giving me?

• 15:28Speaker 03

  That's not how that works.

• 15:29Speaker 01

  Have you-

• 15:31Speaker 03

  The For You page?

• 15:32Speaker 01

  No, sometimes I think, because I got a TikTok the other day, and it was like, this guy going through the comfiest shoes, and then I saw you posted the shoes, and I was gonna buy the shoes, the like, the like Nike Vimo premiums or something like that?

• 15:44Speaker 03

  The Vamero plus?

• 15:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna buy them, because it was like, these are the comfiest shoes in the world, and then I saw you wearing them, and I was like, well, now I can't.

• 15:53Speaker 01

  Have you seen, I don't know if your TikTok algorithm has brought you here, to hat toss and queen?

• 15:58Speaker 03

  No.

• 16:00Speaker 03

  I'll try.

• 16:00Speaker 01

  It's just like people that live in, like, upstate, not even upstate New York, it's like Yonkers.

• 16:05Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 16:06Speaker 01

  And it's just like a guy who like, catches a hat toss and catches it, and his girlfriend, and they're just dancing.

• 16:12Speaker 02

  I honestly am a big fan of that.

• 16:15Speaker 01

  They look like they have a modern love story, I don't know.

• 16:18Speaker 02

  I love when people like, are doing the, the, they're like, getting light, and then they have the hat, and then they like, put it on their elbow, and they catch it with their knee. I'm like, yo.

• 16:25Speaker 01

  You know what we need to watch, which we haven't watched, and I'm saying "we" as a collective "we", when's the last time we watched You Got Served? Or like, any of those mid-2000s, like, competitive dance movies? You Got Served, Stomp the Yard.

• 16:41Speaker 02

  Yo, when I, the first time I watched Stomp the Yard, I'm like, this is what I wanna do with my life.

• 16:46Speaker 01

  When I heard that-

• 16:47Speaker 02

  I almost put a fucking hole in my bedroom floor after I watched Stomp the Yard, because I was in my room just like-

• 16:54Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah!

• 16:55Speaker 02

  I wanted to be Columbus Short. I was like, yo, this guy's a fan.

• 16:58Speaker 01

  Honestly, that's a good, dude had it going.

• 17:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, he was cool.

• 17:01Speaker 01

  Good-looking dude, he could dance well.

• 17:03Speaker 02

  Backflipping and shit.

• 17:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, bro, mad backflip.

• 17:06Speaker 02

  Didn't Chris Brown get shot in the first five seconds?

• 17:08Speaker 01

  Spoiler alert.

• 17:09Speaker 02

  Oh, shit.

• 17:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:11Speaker 02

  I mean, the movie's 400 years old.

• 17:12Speaker 01

  It is probably 20 years old, but-

• 17:14Speaker 02

  I loved that movie.

• 17:15Speaker 01

  Yo, that movie-

• 17:16Speaker 02

  You Got Served is great, too.

• 17:17Speaker 01

  But like, yo, when I heard You Got Served, I was like, this might be the single greatest cinematic experience that might have ever existed.

• 17:27Speaker 01

  Well, I was like, 14 at the time, it came out, and I'm just like, you're seeing Omarion, and fucking Marquis Houston, I'm pretty sure that's who's in it.

• 17:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:35Speaker 01

  Like, get mad at this white dude with cornrows and a fucking, not even a bandana, a headband, and I was like, yeah, fuck this guy.

• 17:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:43Speaker 01

  And they're just doing like, the floating thing, and I'm like, yo, how do they do that?

• 17:47Speaker 02

  Steve Harvey's like, "Now, we're gonna take it to the streets."

• 17:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, maybe you don't do a Steve Harvey impression, Joey.

• 17:51Speaker 02

  Why?

• 17:52Speaker 01

  I don't know, if that's gonna, you know.

• 17:53Speaker 02

  Sit on it.

• 17:55Speaker 01

  Sit on it! The dude, it, it was-

• 17:59Speaker 02

  Oh, Lil Kim's in that!

• 18:00Speaker 01

  Is she? Oh, yeah, she like, is like the judge at the end, right?

• 18:03Speaker 02

  I remember her being very oiled up in that movie. She was oiled.

• 18:07Speaker 01

  I don't wanna speak ill of Lil Kim.

• 18:08Speaker 02

  Who's speaking ill? I'm saying she was oiled.

• 18:10Speaker 01

  I'm just, I would, I would, I was gonna go into, why would this person be oiled? I don't know, I mean-

• 18:14Speaker 02

  She was oiled up.

• 18:15Speaker 01

  Was she?

• 18:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:16Speaker 01

  Can you-

• 18:16Speaker 03

  I can't search Lil Kim oiled up.

• 18:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, no, no, no, no, I would never ask you to look that up, I will tell you that right now.

• 18:22Speaker 02

  Shout out to Lil Kim.

• 18:23Speaker 01

  What was the, it was like, the, the, the, the song at the end of it? "Pump it up!"

• 18:30Speaker 02

  No, it was Pump It Up by Joe Button.

• 18:31Speaker 01

  No, there was another one, too, that's a great song. Pump It Up by Joe Button.

• 18:35Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:36Speaker 01

  I think, wasn't, um-

• 18:38Speaker 02

  Remember Lil Saint?

• 18:38Speaker 01

  Wasn't Freeway in there, too?

• 18:40Speaker 02

  The Freeway song, yeah.

• 18:44Speaker 01

  Just play, oh, no, yeah.

• 18:46Speaker 02

  Just plays on the beat.

• 18:48Speaker 01

  What was the, what was the, god, there was, there's another-

• 18:54Speaker 02

  Yo, you know a game I bought recently?

• 18:56Speaker 01

  What?

• 18:57Speaker 02

  Def Jam Fight for New York.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  For those who don't know, Def Jam Fight for New York is a video game where you just fight as rappers, like 50 Cent's fighting Ludacris.

• 19:07Speaker 01

  It, it, yes, then like- I don't think 50 Cent was in it, because he wasn't signed to Def Jam Records.

• 19:12Speaker 02

  But it's like Fat Joe.

• 19:13Speaker 01

  You could be exhibit, and you could have a four-way match with Lil Kim, Snoop Dogg, and Fat Joe.

• 19:19Speaker 02

  And you would just fight each other.

• 19:20Speaker 01

  Yo, this game was incredible. The roster was out of control, it was like-

• 19:24Speaker 02

  Jaw rule.

• 19:25Speaker 01

  Method Man, Redman was in it. Then they had like, random people, like, fucking, I think like, Sean Paul was in it, Slick Rick, hell yeah. But yo, this game has become like a collector's item.

• 19:38Speaker 02

  Really?

• 19:39Speaker 01

  How much you think I paid for this game?

• 19:42Speaker 03

  Oh, you bought it recently?

• 19:42Speaker 02

  18 bucks. 14. Am I going, am I hot or cold?

• 19:46Speaker 01

  Cold, brother.

• 19:47Speaker 02

  I'm freezing?

• 19:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:49Speaker 02

  It's $62.

• 19:51Speaker 01

  $150 bucks.

• 19:55Speaker 02

  Why did you do that? You really wanted it?

• 19:57Speaker 01

  I saw it, and I said, "I wanna have it."

• 20:01Speaker 02

  I would like this, so I'm gonna pay $150 for it.

• 20:03Speaker 01

  Dude, a good game, dude. And then like-

• 20:05Speaker 02

  Did you play it?

• 20:06Speaker 01

  I have yet to pop it in and play it, because I'm in the middle of playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3.

• 20:10Speaker 02

  Who are- who what?

• 20:13Speaker 01

  Come over, dude.

• 20:13Speaker 02

  Is that the Goldfinger one?

• 20:15Speaker 01

  That's the one, uh-

• 20:17Speaker 02

  Well, here I am. Everything I am. Everything I want to have.

• 20:23Speaker 01

  No, it's the one where I'm in the middle of playing Need for Speed Underground 2 and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. Yeah, dude. It's electric in the Alvarez household.

• 20:31Speaker 02

  That's crazy.

• 20:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 20:32Speaker 02

  You're playing games from like 2008?

• 20:35Speaker 01

  So what? 2004, who's counting?

• 20:38Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 20:38Speaker 01

  You know, it'll be like, you know, those games have not aged well, if we could, you know-

• 20:43Speaker 02

  Why?

• 20:43Speaker 01

  Cause it's like, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, it'll be like, "The challenge is, get the secret tapes, grind this rail near this, near this dirty fucking hobo." You know, just like shit like that. It's like, grind the rail and fuck up this hobo's cart.

• 21:02Speaker 01

  It's not nice, dude.

• 21:05Speaker 01

  It'll be like, "Do a fucking fakey Ollie with Bam Margera and absolutely ruin this homeless person's-

• 21:12Speaker 04

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop, because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces, so I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece, and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 21:41Speaker 01

  Encampment.

• 21:44Speaker 01

  And then like Need for Speed Underground 2 will be like, "Go do a drag race on this crowded highway with a woman a bikini." You know what I mean?

• 21:52Speaker 02

  I loved that game.

• 21:53Speaker 01

  Listening to the Snoop Dogg remix of Riders on the Storm.

• 21:57Speaker 02

  Yo, that game is fantastic, and I had a great car in it, and that was the game where it's kind of like open world and the cops would just start chasing you?

• 22:04Speaker 01

  No, so the cops didn't chase you in that one. That was Most Wanted, when they'd start chasing you.

• 22:08Speaker 02

  Oh, I loved that.

• 22:09Speaker 01

  But those games-

• 22:10Speaker 02

  Oh god, fucking, spin around! Fucking do this!

• 22:13Speaker 01

  No, I loved, do you remember, not only did I love the game Burnout, someone's fucking, not only did I love the game Burnout, you remember Burnout? Where it was like, the whole idea was that you had to make your car crash in the craziest way? Do you remember Keith was like, could've gone pro if that was like a competitive game?

• 22:29Speaker 02

  That sounds like a Keith game.

• 22:30Speaker 01

  It was like Burnout 3, Take Down. And Keith would be like, "If I hit this car at this angle," and he would make like a $50 million crash or some shit.

• 22:38Speaker 02

  That sounds so vaguely familiar.

• 22:40Speaker 01

  You definitely remember these games.

• 22:41Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 22:42Speaker 01

  But, uh, yeah, I wish if you could be in a video game-

• 22:47Speaker 02

  Oh my god, yes!

• 22:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, dude, these games are sick.

• 22:51Speaker 02

  That's so weird that you remember that.

• 22:53Speaker 01

  Well, it's because I have it.

• 22:55Speaker 02

  You have Burnout?

• 22:56Speaker 01

  I don't have Burnout. I have all the other ones, but I can go get Burnout if you want it.

• 22:59Speaker 02

  What was the one, Vigilante? Was that a, was that a-

• 23:02Speaker 01

  Vigilante?

• 23:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:04Speaker 01

  I don't know which one. I mean, I'm sure there's a game called Vigilante. But like, there was like True Crime: Streets of L.A.

• 23:10Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 23:10Speaker 01

  There was that, there were, you know, Hit, like the Hitman games.

• 23:14Speaker 02

  Wait, what the, what else have you bought?

• 23:15Speaker 01

  Uh, I, I, it's random, random, it's games that we had growing up. I bought, I have, uh, Two Towers.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  I remember I, uh, yeah, that game's fantastic. I remember I took a game from you once, Turok.

• 23:29Speaker 01

  Turok Evolution, I have it.

• 23:30Speaker 02

  You just, you're killing dinosaurs with bow and arrows!

• 23:34Speaker 01

  Bro, I still remember the like, all, to unlock all the cheat codes code.

• 23:39Speaker 02

  To Turok?

• 23:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, FMNFB.

• 23:43Speaker 01

  It makes, it means nothing to anyone unless, but like, you could like, it was like big, turn on big head mode, and you shot a gun that had like, bugs in it, and it like popped their heads and shit like that. Good game, man. Good game.

• 23:55Speaker 02

  Do you know any of these?

• 23:56Speaker 03

  I know Turok.

• 23:57Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 23:57Speaker 03

  And, and you played Twisted Metal?

• 23:59Speaker 02

  Four hours at a time.

• 24:01Speaker 01

  Bro, Twisted Metal 2 was one of the best cinematic, like, gaming experiences I've ever had in my entire life. Where you knocked down the thing-

• 24:08Speaker 02

  Besides?

• 24:10Speaker 01

  Well, cinematic experience was, was fucking- What was it?

• 24:15Speaker 02

  I don't even remember.

• 24:16Speaker 01

  You got served?

• 24:17Speaker 02

  Oh, you got served.

• 24:18Speaker 01

  Video game is Twisted Metal 2.

• 24:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:20Speaker 01

  When you break the, the, uh, yes, when you break the Eiffel Tower and it leads you to another part of the level.

• 24:27Speaker 02

  Nothing made me happier than Twisted Metal at a certain point in my life. Like, it was like, it was everything I cared about.

• 24:33Speaker 03

  It was so good.

• 24:33Speaker 01

  Yo, the show is good. Have you watched the show?

• 24:35Speaker 02

  No.

• 24:36Speaker 01

  Yo, the show is fun as hell.

• 24:37Speaker 02

  Yeah?

• 24:37Speaker 03

  Anthony Mackie?

• 24:38Speaker 01

  Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz.

• 24:40Speaker 02

  Who's he play?

• 24:41Speaker 01

  Anthony, he just plays like a dude. I don't remember if he played, I think he ends up playing like one of the characters from the games, but like, Sweet Tooth is in it.

• 24:49Speaker 02

  Damn.

• 24:49Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:50Speaker 02

  I used to get nightmares from that shit. When was the last time you had a nightmare?

• 24:53Speaker 01

  Couple days ago.

• 24:54Speaker 02

  You had a nightmare?

• 24:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:55Speaker 02

  What was it?

• 24:56Speaker 01

  Uh, oddly enough, it was after I finally watched Obsession.

• 25:00Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 25:00Speaker 01

  Um, but I didn't, it was like someone, I woke up like, like out of the movies. Someone broke into my house and was injecting me with needles. Like, plugging me with needles.

• 25:13Speaker 02

  Oh, like-

• 25:15Speaker 01

  And they were-

• 25:15Speaker 02

  You woke up to them like-

• 25:16Speaker 01

  And they were listening to Sum 41. That's what I remember.

• 25:20Speaker 02

  Sum 41?

• 25:21Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:23Speaker 03

  Sounds like a nightmare to me.

• 25:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:27Speaker 01

  Did you have nightmares?

• 25:28Speaker 02

  I don't- Were you a big nightmare kid when you were younger? Like, your parents always had to be like-

• 25:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, you definitely were. Mommy, daddy, let me sleep in your bed.

• 25:35Speaker 02

  No, I don't think so. I, I'll be honest, I loved sleeping in the bed with my mom. That's fair.

• 25:39Speaker 01

  My, you wanna know where, as a kid, I used to go, my parents, for some reason, our parents' generation, it was like a thing to have like a bench at the end of your bed?

• 25:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, they loved that.

• 25:50Speaker 01

  What the fuck was that?

• 25:51Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 25:52Speaker 01

  Well, I remember I used to sleep underneath the bench, and like, that was where I felt-

• 25:56Speaker 02

  Like a cat?

• 25:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 25:58Speaker 02

  This kid would sleep like a cat.

• 26:00Speaker 03

  What if they stepped on you?

• 26:02Speaker 02

  It's under the bench.

• 26:02Speaker 01

  What are they gonna step on the bench?

• 26:04Speaker 03

  You were perfectly-

• 26:05Speaker 02

  Would you like hide? They wouldn't know?

• 26:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, they'd wake up and they'd be like, "Fuck, what the fuck is this kid doing under here?"

• 26:11Speaker 03

  Did you ever hear anything?

• 26:13Speaker 01

  Definitely not in my parents' house. If, if I heard anything, it was just like, "I'll sign the papers."

• 26:21Speaker 02

  Definitely not in my house.

• 26:24Speaker 01

  Hundred percent, no.

• 26:25Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 26:25Speaker 01

  When's the last time you had a-

• 26:27Speaker 02

  A nightmare? I think I had one the other night. And when I have nightmares, isn't it funny to say nightmares?

• 26:34Speaker 01

  We're adults.

• 26:35Speaker 02

  Is it, yeah, like-

• 26:36Speaker 01

  Bad dream. It's even worse to say bad dream.

• 26:37Speaker 02

  Is there a difference between a bad dream and a nightmare? A nightmare sounds way worse.

• 26:41Speaker 01

  Definitely. I think it's the severity of it. A bad dream could be anything. Nightmares is like, it haunts you.

• 26:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, I, whenever I have bad dreams, they always involve Keith in some capacity.

• 26:51Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 26:51Speaker 02

  And I'm just like, I don't know, like it makes me sad, I guess.

• 26:54Speaker 01

  Or do you subscribe to, like, there are people that believe like, if you eat certain things before bed, you'll get like more vivid or lucid dreams?

• 27:02Speaker 02

  Um, I don't, I mean, maybe that's true. I, I, not in my experience. Like, I know like chocolate was one of those, it's like you eat chocolate, then you have like weird dreams or something, but like, I have done that and I don't think that like really lines up with my experience. However, I think that if I'm, I think I sleep a lot better when I am really hydrated when I go to sleep.

• 27:22Speaker 01

  Oh, that's worse for me, cause I'm gonna get up twice to piss.

• 27:25Speaker 02

  Well, that's the thing, is like you do get up, but I also feel like I have vivid dreams, cause I'm sleeping hard.

• 27:30Speaker 01

  Really?

• 27:30Speaker 02

  I don't know why.

• 27:31Speaker 01

  So you sleep better when you are like well hydrated?

• 27:34Speaker 02

  I guess.

• 27:35Speaker 01

  Okay, that's interesting.

• 27:36Speaker 03

  You ever lucid dream?

• 27:38Speaker 02

  Yes, I mean, I told a story that I had a, I had a lucid dream that his brother-in-law, our friend Danny, growing up, I was in my apartment, uh, two apartments ago, I was in my apartment, and I realized like, "Oh, I'm in a dream," cause I walked out, it was my, my actual apartment at the time. And I walked out and I saw a giant spider on the windowsill, like in the kitchen, and I was like, "Oh, this is a dream." And then I turn around, and her name's Christine, and she came walking out of, uh, one of the rooms, and I look at her and I'm like, "This is a dream, this isn't real," so I picked up a chair, and I held it over my head and I slammed it over her head, but it bounced like, like they were both made of rubber. So I just kept slamming the chair over her head.

• 28:22Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 28:23Speaker 02

  And then I woke up. I swear to god!

• 28:25Speaker 01

  That is-

• 28:26Speaker 02

  I immediately texted her and I was like, "I fucking knocked you over there with a chair the other day."

• 28:30Speaker 03

  I, I've lucid dreamed like a couple times, and I can't get the flying down.

• 28:34Speaker 02

  I wasn't flying.

• 28:35Speaker 01

  I, I, I, those are like the dreams that I get where it's like, I can fly at will.

• 28:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:40Speaker 01

  But like, it never gets to the point where I'm just like, "What the fuck?" Like, where I would consider it like lucid, like they don't ever really get really, really weird, but I also forget about them like five seconds after waking up.

• 28:49Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:50Speaker 01

  That's my-

• 28:51Speaker 03

  It's cause they say if, when you realize that you're lucid dreaming, you're not really supposed to do anything that'll get your heart rate too high, because then you, it'll bring you out of it.

• 28:58Speaker 02

  Really? Cause I was having a workout, beating her over the head with a chair.

• 29:01Speaker 03

  You, you were really going, so that's impressive.

• 29:03Speaker 02

  To be fair, it was short, I probably could've kept going and doing, done other stuff.

• 29:07Speaker 01

  But see, sometimes I wear my Apple Watch to sleep, and I don't, like, it doesn't like spike the times that I've had dreams, so like, I guess they're not as lucid as-

• 29:15Speaker 02

  If anything, I think it would be like low, cause you're like not moving and you're so deep in a sleep.

• 29:19Speaker 01

  But he's talking about getting your heart rate up and shit like that when you're dreaming. I'm pretty-

• 29:22Speaker 02

  Well, cause you, you know, I wonder if I'm like a dog, like if you have a dream, you're like, "Huh, wait, no."

• 29:26Speaker 03

  Probably.

• 29:27Speaker 01

  Oh, brother, I, I for sure-

• 29:29Speaker 02

  You talk?

• 29:30Speaker 01

  Not talk.

• 29:31Speaker 02

  You moan.

• 29:32Speaker 01

  Why is that the next place you go?

• 29:33Speaker 02

  Well, just like make noises like, "Hey."

• 29:35Speaker 01

  Hey, oh, like a puppy?

• 29:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 29:37Speaker 01

  It's like, "Oh, he's dreaming of catching a bone."

• 29:39Speaker 02

  Well, you're not gonna be there like, "Hey, hey!"

• 29:42Speaker 01

  Well, apparently you are-

• 29:43Speaker 02

  What the hell?

• 29:43Speaker 01

  One, two, three, one, two, three.

• 29:45Speaker 02

  That I can't even explain, I don't know.

• 29:46Speaker 01

  No, I think, I know that I have like, I believe they call them sleep spindles. It's like, as you're approaching, like as you're falling asleep, I'll be like, "Ugh!", and I'll just jump.

• 29:56Speaker 02

  I'll do that, I hate that, bro.

• 29:58Speaker 01

  I do it and Becca will get like, sometimes like freaked out, cause she'll be like, "What?", and I'm just like- Yesterday, last night, we were watching, because I was exhausted by the end of the day, and we're watching Breaking Bad, and I'm falling asleep. She's like, "You're falling asleep," and I'm like, "No, I'm not."

• 30:16Speaker 02

  I don't know why I get so mad.

• 30:17Speaker 01

  Don't accuse me of falling asleep when I'm asleep.

• 30:20Speaker 02

  I'm literally awake.

• 30:21Speaker 01

  But like, I realize it after, it gets to the point where like, after I've done it, I'm just like, well, I have to, I can't admit I was wrong. I have to like, double down on like, "No, I wasn't."

• 30:32Speaker 02

  Florida here.

• 30:33Speaker 01

  I'm not like, I'm not me when that happens. It's not like-

• 30:36Speaker 02

  It's a different person.

• 30:37Speaker 01

  It's a different person entirely.

• 30:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 30:39Speaker 01

  You know, and it's, I, I, I, there's nothing I could do. Sleep Frankie takes over.

• 30:43Speaker 02

  That in-between, you're a different person, and you get so angry, and people are like, "Hey." Like, if I fall asleep on the couch or something, like, me and Nicole are watching something, she'll be like, "Why don't we just like, go into the bed?" I'm like, "For what? We're sitting out here having a good time." And I'm like, "Out."

• 30:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, Becca said-

• 30:58Speaker 02

  She's like, "You've been asleep for 20 minutes, dumbass."

• 31:00Speaker 01

  She'll be like, "You just snored." I'm like, "No, what do you, like, what do you even fucking mean? You just snored."

• 31:07Speaker 02

  My throat is itchy.

• 31:08Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 31:09Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 31:10Speaker 01

  But there are hard times where I've snored awake, so that, that, that is like, my only defense.

• 31:14Speaker 02

  I've done that too, where I like, I don't know if it's a snore, or whatever it is, but I'm like, and then if Nicole's up, I'm like, "That was me." She's like, "Yeah."

• 31:23Speaker 01

  Well, there, we, on two occasions, Becca and I have gotten like, couples massages, and she's like, "Were you sleeping? Because you were snoring." And I was like, "No, I was fully awake. I was just so relaxed."

• 31:32Speaker 02

  Massages? I don't know if I fall asleep or not, to be fair.

• 31:37Speaker 01

  I just, I, I can't conceptualize the fact that I've sat there without stimulation for an hour. You know what I mean? Like-

• 31:45Speaker 02

  What do you mean?

• 31:46Speaker 01

  Because it seems to go by so quickly, but I've been awake the whole time? But I guess I was in such a state of like, euphoria, that I'm like, you know, like, I snore, but I'm fully aware.

• 31:58Speaker 02

  You're doing it now?

• 31:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 32:00Speaker 02

  He's defending himself, definitely.

• 32:03Speaker 01

  But I don't think I'm asleep.

• 32:04Speaker 02

  No, I do think that it puts you in this like, purgatory of sleep, and not-

• 32:07Speaker 01

  It's like that, you ever see that thing where it's like, that monk reached the state of nirvana, and they've been, and like, they haven't aged, and they've been sitting for like, 80 years?

• 32:17Speaker 02

  No, what?

• 32:18Speaker 01

  You definitely have seen that.

• 32:20Speaker 02

  A monk, like, is not moving?

• 32:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, look it up.

• 32:23Speaker 02

  What?

• 32:23Speaker 01

  It's like-

• 32:24Speaker 02

  Motionless monk?

• 32:25Speaker 01

  It's like a mummified monk.

• 32:26Speaker 02

  Mummified?

• 32:27Speaker 01

  Dude, they like, reached a state of euphoria, where like, they like, lowered their fucking heart rate or something, and like, they're, they're just not aging. And it was like-

• 32:37Speaker 02

  Before we get to that, I do have some-

• 38:52Speaker 02

  Camera, camera album? I don't know.

• 38:54Speaker 01

  Also, I'm sorry about the asshole thing. I, I, I know, I know.

• 38:58Speaker 02

  You're sorry, you're sorry.

• 38:59Speaker 01

  I am, I am, I am, I am.

• 39:00Speaker 02

  You've got butthole in the brain.

• 39:01Speaker 01

  That's an example of my mouth getting the best of me there. I, I said it, and, and I will stop doing that, because I know after, Joe is going to be like, "Stop telling people I'm going to show my asshole on this show." And I'm going to say, "I'm sorry." I will stop saying that Joe Santagato is going to show his asshole.

• 39:17Speaker 02

  Okay, um, this monk-

• 39:20Speaker 03

  I, I, I couldn't really find at all what he was talking about.

• 39:23Speaker 02

  Go ahead, why don't you just try and pronounce that for us?

• 39:25Speaker 03

  Uh, I was gonna say, uh, Sokushinbutsu?

• 39:30Speaker 02

  That's insane, well, I can't believe you said that about my mom.

• 39:32Speaker 03

  Um, I just found a Japanese Buddhist practice where the monks would indeed mummify themselves to try to reach Nirvana.

• 39:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's, that's what I'm talking about.

• 39:42Speaker 02

  But this is a-

• 39:44Speaker 03

  It's a practice but people-

• 39:45Speaker 02

  But you're describing a one.

• 39:47Speaker 01

  Uh, I've seen, I, I guess that maybe I saw an example of this practice, but like-

• 39:52Speaker 02

  So, what is this? They, they mummify themselves, which requires-

• 39:55Speaker 03

  So, they would, like, dye it and then they would mummify themselves over a process of like a thousand days. So, they would, like, get in a position, be, like, encased, have a little breathing tube, and then af- and a little bell, and after a while, the bell would stop ringing, and that's when everyone thought that, okay, they've reached Nirvana, and then they would take out, them out of the tomb.

• 40:14Speaker 01

  And I guess it's possible, we don't know for sure.

• 40:17Speaker 03

  Um- Sounds like they just died.

• 40:19Speaker 02

  It's, it sounds like this-

• 40:20Speaker 01

  A thousand days, brother? They would've died well before that.

• 40:24Speaker 02

  That's true.

• 40:25Speaker 03

  But apparently that's how they reached Nirvana, so maybe it worked, I don't know.

• 40:28Speaker 02

  If I put a human being in a box and gave him a straw to breathe, and they made it a thousand days?

• 40:35Speaker 01

  Uh, I mean-

• 40:36Speaker 02

  That's outrageous.

• 40:37Speaker 01

  Uh, bro, that's three years?

• 40:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:40Speaker 01

  That's insane, I don't think that's-

• 40:42Speaker 02

  That can't, I-

• 40:43Speaker 01

  You can't live without water and food more than, like, five days or something like that?

• 40:47Speaker 02

  The monks are so, there's, there's a, um, I actually don't know what qualifies as a monk, but there is a man that I believe, uh, identifies as a monk, and I saw videos of him and he was, like, so well spoken, and the stuff that he's saying felt like it was, like, unlocking things in my brain, and I'm like, "How are they getting there? How are they getting there?"

• 41:10Speaker 01

  Maybe that's it, maybe, maybe it's, they just figured it out. I mean, may, I don't know, I, I don't know, I don't wanna speak on-

• 41:16Speaker 02

  Do you meditate?

• 41:18Speaker 01

  I don't, but I heard that that's a thing that a lot of comedians-

• 41:20Speaker 02

  Have you done it?

• 41:21Speaker 01

  M- maybe in, like, 4th grade for, like, 30 seconds, or something like that, like-

• 41:26Speaker 02

  You meditated in 4th grade?

• 41:28Speaker 01

  Well, everyone, like, used to do that, where they'd, like, sit crisscross applesauce, and they'd go like this, and they would say, like, "Hum" or something like that.

• 41:36Speaker 02

  Right, I mean, that clearly is like a-

• 41:37Speaker 01

  That's what I'm saying, like, it was not-

• 41:39Speaker 02

  Right, it's racist, anyway.

• 41:40Speaker 01

  Is it?

• 41:40Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 41:41Speaker 01

  Oh, I, if it is, I severely apologize.

• 41:43Speaker 02

  I don't think that's meditating, you're like, jo- like a-

• 41:46Speaker 01

  Well, aren't, aren't there a bunch of comedians that do, like, mini meditation and shit like that?

• 41:50Speaker 02

  Huh?

• 41:50Speaker 01

  I think Jerry Seinfeld is a big one.

• 41:53Speaker 02

  Does meditations?

• 41:54Speaker 01

  I think it's, like, he does, like, the process of, like, mini meditation or something like that.

• 41:58Speaker 02

  I don't even fucking know.

• 41:59Speaker 03

  We, we had a giant argument about this. Danny says that he meditates during Call of Duty.

• 42:06Speaker 01

  I mean, I would, you know what? Look up the definition of meditation, because if it's just a place and whatever helps you get to that place, is it possible?

• 42:15Speaker 03

  I will say, I downloaded an app once that does guided meditation, it's like a very popular one. Um, and it ju- it, there is, like, I, I definitely believe in it. Like, I definitely believe that it's helpful to, like, especially 'cause I think that we're just overly-

• 42:34Speaker 01

  Simulated?

• 42:35Speaker 03

  Screens and whatever, your eyes are always darting, to have nothing and just kinda sit there, and it, like, plays music and it's sort of, like, guiding and, like, guides your breath afterwards, you're like, "That is lovely."

• 42:46Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, I mean, I, I, I'm sure I need it. Like, I'm sure I would benefit, but it says here, it's a, I don't, a, a set of techniques used to focus attention, quiet the mind, and enhance overall well-being. I mean, it's just-

• 43:00Speaker 03

  That doesn't sound like killing people in Call of Duty.

• 43:02Speaker 01

  Well-

• 43:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't, I, I mean, I don't get it, but he was-

• 43:05Speaker 01

  But like, what's the difference between meditating and being locked in? You know what I mean? Like, i- is that not, like, people, like, get so locked into something that they reach, I'm sure, a state of meditation, and they're able to just kinda do the thing well.

• 43:18Speaker 02

  I guess.

• 43:20Speaker 01

  I, I, I am not, I have not tried it, I probably would benefit from it, but there are a lot of people that openly, like, and especially comedians, say that they, like, do, like, mini medit- meditations and stuff like that.

• 43:33Speaker 02

  Have you, do you meditate? Have you done it?

• 43:35Speaker 03

  No, I, I, I'll try to, like, clear my mind, I guess, but I-

• 43:40Speaker 02

  How?

• 43:41Speaker 03

  Just, like, trying to, like, stop thinking, please, I'll just try to do something like that.

• 43:45Speaker 02

  That just sounds like anxiety.

• 43:46Speaker 01

  Stop thinking, please.

• 43:48Speaker 02

  Please, stop thinking of things!

• 43:51Speaker 03

  Something like that.

• 43:53Speaker 01

  The Apple Watch has, like, a thing where it's called, like, mindful meditation, or like, or something like that, but like, it is, like, it goes off every day at, like, a different time, and it, like, show, it, like, breathes in and breathes out, and it's like, "Think of a time when you felt the most love from your loved ones" and stuff like that. I'm, I'm sure it's good for you, I probably, I would, I would recommend it, but I don't know enough about it.

• 44:17Speaker 02

  Interesting.

• 44:18Speaker 03

  I'm not sure I need it yet.

• 44:19Speaker 02

  Yet?

• 44:20Speaker 01

  Yet?

• 44:21Speaker 03

  I'm sure I'll need it eventually.

• 44:22Speaker 01

  If anyone needs it, it's you.

• 44:24Speaker 03

  Why, why me?

• 44:25Speaker 01

  Mister, Mister, "Things are going too well, the, the world's about to come crashing down tomorrow."

• 44:30Speaker 03

  That's not exactly-

• 44:31Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 44:32Speaker 03

  Do you meditate?

• 44:34Speaker 02

  Uh, I, I, I don't currently, but I've, I have gone through, like, patches where I would try to be consistent with it, 'cause it's, it's nice, when you, like, do it a couple times, you're like, "Okay, like, I'm, now I'm looking forward to that", and then, I don't know, I just kinda fell off.

• 44:48Speaker 01

  I do wanna go to one of those things, and not because I think it's gonna work for me, but just because I wanna see what it is, where, like, I think they're called, like, sound baths, or something like that, where, like, they, like, take a bowl and hit it with a metal thing and then just, like, wave it in front of you or something like that.

• 45:04Speaker 02

  The last time I got a massage, where was I? I got a massage, oh, when I was in Portugal, and there was, that was part of the massage, it was like a sound bath thing. Yo.

• 45:14Speaker 01

  Yeah?

• 45:15Speaker 02

  Sound bath?

• 45:15Speaker 01

  Gets ya?

• 45:16Speaker 02

  It's kinda fire.

• 45:17Speaker 01

  Really?

• 45:18Speaker 02

  It just feels like the vibrations are doing something, dude. Like, it's like, "Huh, I can't even, can't do a vibration sound", but you know what I'm saying? Like, you know the sound when it hits, like, a-

• 45:28Speaker 03

  Dooyoo.

• 45:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, like that, and it's like, "Ooh", like, it feels good around my head.

• 45:34Speaker 01

  Uh, maybe.

• 45:35Speaker 03

  We're all vibrating on frequencies.

• 45:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 45:37Speaker 01

  We are. I, I recently had someone tell me that, like, there's, like, a frequency to standing next to a beehive that makes it healing or something like that, I don't know if I'm fully there.

• 45:46Speaker 03

  Tech- technically, you could create a weapon that is the opposite of our frequencies, and it could just, like, tear your atoms apart. Poof.

• 45:53Speaker 02

  What is technically, and what is anything you said?

• 45:57Speaker 03

  Like, we're all vibrating at a frequency, so there's opposites of that. So, if you can, like, match the frequency and just, like, disrupt it-

• 46:03Speaker 01

  Oh, it's like, it's like when you can, the frequency to, like, shatter glass?

• 46:07Speaker 03

  Yes, exactly.

• 46:08Speaker 01

  Like, they can just find the frequency to pop a human?

• 46:10Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 46:11Speaker 01

  I guess.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  You could, technically.

• 46:13Speaker 02

  It's called a 50 cal rifle.

• 46:14Speaker 03

  That'll do it as well.

• 46:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, that, that will definitely explode a person. I, I, I don't know, I don't know if I subscribe to, like, the, the, like, sound healing, stuff like that.

• 46:24Speaker 02

  I definitely believe in-

• 46:26Speaker 01

  And you'll know if I do, because I will not shut up about it if I do.

• 46:30Speaker 02

  I feel like you're not, you're not open to those things, 'cause you don't, it's like a hard thing. It's like a blind faith that you kinda need-

• 46:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, correct.

• 46:38Speaker 02

  -to be bought in.

• 46:39Speaker 01

  Absolutely.

• 46:39Speaker 02

  It's like, this logically has to make sense.

• 46:40Speaker 01

  Cur- one?

• 46:42Speaker 02

  But you don't, you don't-

• 46:45Speaker 02

  Do you believe in, like, this is gonna sound, this is gonna sound so stupid, but do you believe in, like, energy?

• 46:55Speaker 03

  Everything's energy.

• 46:56Speaker 01

  I, I think in, like, a, a, like, not literal-

• 47:00Speaker 02

  Like, electricity is energy?

• 47:01Speaker 01

  Yes, like, I don't, like, I don't think of it in literal terms.

• 47:04Speaker 02

  Right.

• 47:05Speaker 01

  Like, I don't think that, as a human, like, if your life is going well, you give off, like, a real, actual energy that is going to attract or deter, or repel, excuse me, like, good things happening to you.

• 47:18Speaker 02

  I actually do believe that.

• 47:19Speaker 01

  Really? Yeah, I do, I do. I, I just think that, like, I think it's a mindset, like, you're more willing to, like, if your life is going better, you're more willing to look at things as positively. Like, I don't know if there is, like, a physical, like, tangible, like, measurable, like, thing, you know what I mean? I don't know how else to say it.

• 47:40Speaker 02

  But don't you agree that there are some people that they light up a room almost, you know? And it's not because they're doing a show or doing this, like, this whole thing, it's just, there's just something about them. They're very likeable, they're very, like, bubbly-

• 47:57Speaker 01

  Well, that deals with the, the charisma and, like, who that person is to you, like-

• 48:00Speaker 02

  But not always.

• 48:01Speaker 01

  Like, I could say that about, like, Becca, like, legitimately, like, she lights up a room, but it's because of who she is to me, you know?

• 48:11Speaker 03

  It's two different points.

• 48:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, like, I mean, you're in love with your wife. That I feel like is a different feeling than what I'm describing. I'm describing like, just a person, like, a ran- not a random person, but like, if we were all at Ant's house or something, and there was a person who feels like, oh, this person is sort of like, brought a different energy to this room now, and it feels like different, and it's infected everybody.

• 48:33Speaker 01

  But I feel like you get that by how that person acts. So it's not like, it's like, it's not a metaphorical, or like, a quiet energy that this person, it's like, how they're conducting themselves, and like, how loud they are, how playful they are.

• 48:47Speaker 02

  But if my, if my, um, if my actions are having a real effect on your mood, is that not a form of like, energy? Because I'm not like touching you.

• 48:59Speaker 01

  No, because I have something to point to, to say like, that's a measurable thing. It's what this person has done, or is saying, or has done, or is doing, that like, makes me feel uncomfortable. It's not like, if we sat in a room together and neither of us talked, I'd be like, there's, there's something in the air. That's just me. Like, and it's the same with like, crystals.

• 49:19Speaker 02

  What about good vibes? What's that? Vibes. They're just like, it's vibes.

• 49:22Speaker 01

  Vibes is just like, again, that's like a, that's like a personality thing, like, you could tell by like, how chill someone is, and like, what they're, like, how they're actually acting. And maybe I'm, maybe I'm just being a big grump about it.

• 49:35Speaker 02

  So do you think that being happy and being sad, it's not like, energy, it's just physical? Like, I'm, like, I'm acting happy, so I'm happy?

• 49:44Speaker 01

  I think that your, like, how you choose to carry yourself, depending on your mood, is, is giving off a non-measurable, like, it's not like someone could say, like, the electrons are more stiff in the air, or something like that, like.

• 50:01Speaker 02

  Well, I don't even know if I'm, if that's what I'm trying to say. I just think that it's more than just like, my action. Like, if someone... Here's the thing, two people could do something, the same thing, but if someone has a different type of like, vibe to it, it feels different.

• 50:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's what they're doing, though. It's their approach to it, it's how they're conducting themselves, like, those are actions.

• 50:26Speaker 02

  Is that not like, energy?

• 50:27Speaker 01

  I, I guess I don't think of it that way, but I'm, I'm sure someone else would call it that. It's just not how I approach it or think of it. But like, let me ask you this, and, and, and I don't want to offend anyone, but like, if I were to put a rock down in front of you, and just be like, this gives off a very specific energy.

• 50:45Speaker 02

  Right.

• 50:46Speaker 01

  Do you subscribe to that? Or do you think, because there are people that are, that are firm belief of that?

• 50:50Speaker 02

  Like a crystal, if I'm wearing a crystal or something?

• 50:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 50:53Speaker 02

  Um, I, I don't know enough. I think that I have heard of people talking about crystals before, and some of that seems a little out there for me, but I'm open to the idea that, like, I mean, I 100% believe in like, if you're standing barefoot on the earth, that that is doing something.

• 51:17Speaker 01

  Of course.

• 51:18Speaker 02

  Like, I believe that.

• 51:18Speaker 01

  That I believe, but I don't think that's in...

• 51:20Speaker 02

  So a rock is like, part of the earth, though?

• 51:22Speaker 01

  But I think, yeah, but like...

• 51:24Speaker 02

  So it makes sense?

• 51:25Speaker 01

  I guess, I guess I think of it in terms of like, if I'm sitting in a room, and someone puts, you know, amethyst next to me, and it's like, this is giving off the energy of like, passion, and, or whatever it may be, I don't think, I think it's just a rock.

• 51:40Speaker 02

  I don't think it's like that, but you know how like, lead can block a wifi signal, kind of? Like, it can't pass through?

• 51:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, but that's a, that's a physical measurable thing.

• 51:50Speaker 02

  I understand, but like, can't other things possibly be blocked or opened up, too?

• 51:56Speaker 01

  But lead is not giving off something that is an energy, it is preventing because of how, to my understanding, and I'm not a scientist, actually, I am, closest to a scientist here. It's, it's, it's physical properties are preventing something.

• 52:11Speaker 02

  So, so what if the, the crystal's physical properties, it's just more conducive to certain, like?

• 52:15Speaker 01

  I, I, and I guess, I guess that's possible, but like, how do physical properties give off confidence?

• 52:21Speaker 02

  See, that, that, I, that I think is just like... But I think that it's more nuanced than like, well, I'm not confident, I'm not more confident, I'm holding the rock.

• 52:29Speaker 01

  And yeah, maybe I'm, maybe I'm, you know, simplifying it to a disrespectful point.

• 52:33Speaker 02

  No, I think that it's, uh, and I don't, I don't say, again, I don't, I don't know enough, but I, I don't imagine that it's like, I will get results if I wear this. I don't think it's about that. I think it's more about like, to put it in video game terms...

• 52:47Speaker 01

  Like mana?

• 52:48Speaker 02

  Do you know, and like, you, uh, you, you put, like, you're holding a shield, so it's gonna give you like, 10% more or something? It's not like a, a just changing of the whatever, it's like, it's, it's, uh, you know, slightly more helpful in the vibrations and whatever.

• 53:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, I would say like, 0.001%, but that's a difference.

• 53:04Speaker 01

  If you were to say, like, if you go into these mines in, you know, Tahiti or somewhere, and they're like, natural quartz or whatever around you, I could see that in there being physically like, measurable, because like, there is, there is a physical, like, like, literal energy and electricity in the earth that is going through those things, but if you were to get it from a gift shop on the corner of fucking, you know, like, J Street in downtown, and, and say like, that's doing the same thing, I would just be like, come on.

• 53:38Speaker 02

  That's fine, just where you're saying that, it does feel like you're like, right there. Like, you can make the jump, though. If you, if you believing in the cave around all these crystals is like, conducting energy at you, you could get there.

• 53:50Speaker 01

  Think about heat, heat is... I mean, but that's what I'm saying, like, that's, that's where I could see, like, if someone were to be like, let me show you how this is like, an actual measurable thing, I would just be like, cool. And I'm also not one of those people that's just like, you're crazy if you believe in that stuff. If you do, awesome. I just, for me, don't see, I would need to see like, a study or something, to be like, yeah, it is, it is a real thing. Not like, you know, just like a little, it's a little woo-woo for me. I think that's the best way to put it.

• 54:19Speaker 02

  I got a question for you after we get to these last ads here.

• 54:22Speaker 01

  I love how we started about like, pre-workouts called like, you know, gorilla death, and now we're talking energy from crystals.

• 54:29Speaker 02

  Yeah. Uh, well, listen, we also have Zocdoc here. Uh, Zocdoc is a lovely website, or an app, that you can uh, find and book doctors in your area, whether you need a primary care physician, or you need, you know, a dermatologist or whatever.

And lastly here, we have Kachava, okay? Kachava, this, uh, this has been, you know, in my apartment since, for years now, and I'm super hyped

• 55:57Speaker 02

  that they're a sponsor, because you got these for free now. Uh, but, Kachava, it's great, it's, uh, all the nutrition your body craves in one delicious, simple shake. Uh, nostalgia has a flavor.

• 56:12Speaker 02

  Okay? Uh, and cinnamon French toast. If anyone knows anything about me, it's that this right here is gonna be on my tombstone. This is, this is my number one flavor of things, so the fact that they made this, it's like they're listening to me, my energy, and they know this is made for me.

• 56:30Speaker 01

  I will tell you transparently, anytime Kachava comes in here, we fight over the flavors because of how good they are, and the minute that we saw this flavor, we each have been like, who's taking it? It is unbelievable.

• 56:42Speaker 02

  This is made with real cinnamon bark, okay? So there is everything you need in here, uh, with nutrients to support your energy, metabolism, cognition, digestion, strength and immunity. This is what you need, ladies and gentlemen. There's other flavors as well, this is their new one. I haven't even tried it yet, because I'm, but I'm, right after this, I am gonna let it rip so hard, and it, it looks and smells delicious. Uh, but you can get yourself some, go to kachava.com, use that code basement for 15% off of your order. Cinnamon French toast, are you kidding me? Okay, kachava.com, spelled K-A-C-H-A-V-A dot com slash basement, get that 50% off, 15% off, your first order.

• 57:24Speaker 02

  Enjoy that, folks. Gotta make a cup of that. So here's my question for you.

• 57:33Speaker 02

  What happened to my laptop?

• 57:34Speaker 01

  I saw that, I wasn't gonna stop you.

• 57:37Speaker 02

  How do you feel about, uh...

• 57:41Speaker 02

  Any of the like astrology.

• 57:45Speaker 01

  I am not bought in.

• 57:46Speaker 02

  No.

• 57:46Speaker 01

  I'm not, I'm sorry.

• 57:47Speaker 02

  Like.

• 57:48Speaker 01

  I just like, I can't, I just, I struggle.

• 57:52Speaker 02

  So I'll throw you a bone here. This, the, the part of it where it's like, you're a very creative person or stuff like that.

• 58:01Speaker 02

  I'm not necessarily asking about that. I'm asking, do you think it's possible that there is some sort of connection to stars or the time you were born or any of those sort of things?

• 58:12Speaker 01

  I, I, I, I don't, I guess I am more inclined to say no, because I feel like there's more reasons that that doesn't make sense to me than there is that it would make sense.

• 58:20Speaker 02

  Why doesn't it?

• 58:21Speaker 01

  I don't know. I, I, I guess, I, I really am just not, I'm not bought in. So I'm not one of those people that's just gonna be like, oh, check out such a Leo. You know what I mean? Like, one of those people. And, and like, it almost feels like it sometimes takes responsibility away from people, like if they're acting like

• 58:44Speaker 01

  a character, to put it mildly, where they'll just be like, well, they can't help themselves. It's an Aquarius. And it'd be like, well, or they're just not a good person. You know what I mean? Like, I, I, I don't know if I am really in a position where I like, see that stuff and it, and I've seen enough evidence to be like, yeah.

• 59:01Speaker 02

  Do you know about the life number thing?

• 59:03Speaker 03

  I've tried to look into that and I think it's way more interesting.

• 59:08Speaker 02

  It is pretty interesting. Can you look it up and we can get Frank's and see if it's.

• 59:11Speaker 01

  And just again.

• 59:12Speaker 02

  Cause I did mine and it's extremely accurate.

• 59:14Speaker 01

  And again, like, it is not, we did a, we did an episode years ago on astrology. I am not like poo-pooing the people that do believe this. That is cool. That is your thing. I just don't know if I can subscribe to it.

• 59:27Speaker 03

  It's something like this, right?

• 59:28Speaker 02

  Yeah, the life path number.

• 59:29Speaker 03

  But usually I have to, I'm probably.

• 59:31Speaker 01

  I think my sister-in-law said something about this to me and she like told me my, I don't remember what it is.

• 59:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, there, I, I honestly like, I don't know, but.

• 59:39Speaker 01

  Because for every three things that like, don't make sense, one makes sense and people are just like, huh, okay, that's spot on.

• 59:50Speaker 02

  Put in, let's put in Frank's birthday. So put July.

• 59:53Speaker 01

  July 30th, 1992.

• 59:55Speaker 03

  Uh, okay. July 30th.

• 59:59Speaker 02

  That's 2026, sister.

• 1:00:03Speaker 03

  1992?

• 1:00:04Speaker 02

  Doesn't it depress you that now?

• 1:00:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, we're scrolling, baby.

• 1:00:06Speaker 02

  You gotta scroll, brother.

• 1:00:06Speaker 03

  You gotta scroll and I'm like, bro.

• 1:00:08Speaker 01

  We gotta scroll.

• 1:00:09Speaker 02

  This is a lot of years.

• 1:00:10Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:00:11Speaker 01

  It was a Thursday?

• 1:00:12Speaker 02

  That's kinda wicked. Isn't it? Oh, no.

• 1:00:15Speaker 01

  Why would that be Thor's Day?

• 1:00:17Speaker 02

  No, cause I thought, wait, nevermind. Okay, you're four, the builder. You are practical, disciplined and hardworking. You build lasting foundations through dedication. Let's go down.

• 1:00:27Speaker 01

  See, like, that is so like, hold on.

• 1:00:29Speaker 03

  There's more, there's more.

• 1:00:30Speaker 01

  But like, before you go down, like, that's so like, it's so, it's so like vague enough that like, it can work for anyone.

• 1:00:38Speaker 02

  Uh, okay.

• 1:00:41Speaker 01

  It's the most important.

• 1:00:43Speaker 04

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop. Because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces. So I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 1:01:12Speaker 02

  Number and numerology, are you bought in?

• 1:01:16Speaker 03

  Um, where do we get?

• 1:01:18Speaker 01

  How to calculate your life path number?

• 1:01:21Speaker 02

  This one, it's a.

• 1:01:21Speaker 01

  Don't worry about it.

• 1:01:22Speaker 02

  Oh, it's not gonna give, it's a free one.

• 1:01:24Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. So it's not gonna give like a lot of.

• 1:01:26Speaker 01

  They make you pay for them all now.

• 1:01:27Speaker 02

  Go, do mine, do mine.

• 1:01:29Speaker 01

  Like, okay.

• 1:01:30Speaker 02

  February 25th, 1992, it was a Tuesday.

• 1:01:34Speaker 01

  That's, being born on a Tuesday, it's the most boring day of the week. I just wanna say that.

• 1:01:37Speaker 02

  It's the day that I started posting on YouTube as well. I am a three, the communicator. I'm creative, expressive and socially gifted. Self-expression through art, writing and speaking is your calling.

• 1:01:49Speaker 01

  I mean, self-expression through either art, writing or speak, the three forms of expression. You know what I mean?

• 1:01:56Speaker 02

  Well, yeah.

• 1:01:57Speaker 01

  Like, that's what I'm saying. Like, it's like, you're either really good at writing or speaking or thinking. And it's like, yes, you know?

• 1:02:06Speaker 02

  This is you?

• 1:02:07Speaker 01

  The seeker. You're analytical, spirit, yeah, spiritual.

• 1:02:11Speaker 02

  An introspective, truth and wisdom drive your journey.

• 1:02:15Speaker 01

  Brother, I've seen you like.

• 1:02:16Speaker 03

  Say what's up. Say what's up, talk shit.

• 1:02:18Speaker 02

  If this actually said, it was like, you're analytical, spiritual and you love Jameson.

• 1:02:22Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:02:24Speaker 03

  Say what's up, the seeker, seven life path.

• 1:02:27Speaker 01

  I don't, I see like, that's what I'm saying. Like, and I'm sure people are immediately gonna jump at this and be like.

• 1:02:31Speaker 02

  You're being pretty practical right now.

• 1:02:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, pretty logical. See, that's what I mean, where it's just like, this doesn't sound like, I need to be logical and practical. And it's like, oh. You're like.

• 1:02:42Speaker 02

  I wouldn't describe myself.

• 1:02:43Speaker 01

  That's kinda like what conspiracy theorists do, where they'll, they'll be like, it's a conspiracy and they'll be like, yeah, I don't, I don't know, it doesn't line up. And they'll be like, that's what they want you to think. Like, the lack of an answer is enough of an answer.

• 1:02:55Speaker 02

  I don't think so.

• 1:02:56Speaker 01

  I, I don't.

• 1:02:57Speaker 02

  I don't know what this is, but I.

• 1:03:00Speaker 01

  Oh, my God, dude. Our comments are gonna be loaded with people like, please let me read you.

• 1:03:04Speaker 03

  I, I would love for them to like, in-depth more into the number charts.

• 1:03:08Speaker 02

  Would you be interested if we did like a tarot card reading? Or you're like, no, that would scare you?

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  Really?

• 1:03:13Speaker 01

  I'm one of those people that like, I don't believe, but I also, I believe enough to not fuck with it. Cause like, I'll get like the one where it's like, you're gonna die today. You know what I mean?

• 1:03:22Speaker 02

  Oh, my God, you got the Black Death.

• 1:03:24Speaker 01

  Yeah. But like, there's also like, with tarot cards, to my understanding, and I don't wanna like upset any like tarot card readers that are watching this. Like, it's not only about the cards you get, but it's the placement, it's the, the like, the, the way it comes out, if it's left or right or up or down or upside down.

• 1:03:41Speaker 02

  And they're all kind of connected and, you know.

• 1:03:43Speaker 01

  I don't know, man. I, I, again, that's one of those things that like, I don't know if I'm bought in, but I'm also bought in just the small amount to not even fuck with it.

• 1:03:51Speaker 03

  It's a lot of fun.

• 1:03:52Speaker 01

  Like a Ouija board.

• 1:03:53Speaker 02

  You've done tarot cards?

• 1:03:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, a bunch of times. It's a lot of fun.

• 1:03:55Speaker 02

  I've had it, I've had them read once.

• 1:03:57Speaker 03

  One time it wasn't fun.

• 1:03:58Speaker 02

  I don't remember what any of it said.

• 1:04:00Speaker 03

  There was one, like she, they were, she was flipping them and she was like, this last part, this last card is very important. I was like, what does that mean?

• 1:04:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, like, I just, I don't know, like, I, again, I don't, like, I'm, I'm really trying to specify that I'm not trying to be disrespectful, cause I don't want anyone to put like a hex on me or something. But like, I just, I can't. I am not in touch with any spirituality.

• 1:04:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:04:24Speaker 01

  To like.

• 1:04:26Speaker 03

  Are you open?

• 1:04:27Speaker 01

  By, I guess.

• 1:04:28Speaker 02

  I don't, it doesn't sound like you are.

• 1:04:30Speaker 01

  No, I am. I'm saying like, I'm not like a, one of those people that's just like, that's all stupid, that's ridiculous, I'm not gonna, if you believe it, you're an idiot. I'm just like, not for me.

• 1:04:39Speaker 02

  Not that.

• 1:04:39Speaker 01

  I am definitely not that.

• 1:04:41Speaker 02

  You're not not.

• 1:04:42Speaker 01

  I am not.

• 1:04:43Speaker 02

  You just shit on all that.

• 1:04:45Speaker 01

  I didn't shit on it. I just said, I don't know.

• 1:04:47Speaker 02

  You said, I don't wanna offend people, but like, yeah, you see, this could be anything.

• 1:04:50Speaker 01

  But like, that is just pointing out, like, if something is gener, like so general, like, that's my issue with it, is not that I think that if you subscribe to it, you're an idiot. It's just like.

• 1:05:00Speaker 02

  It's for everyone in the world, Frank. It can't be specific to Frank Alvarez.

• 1:05:04Speaker 01

  I mean, but I know that they also get down to like, where, when you were born, where you were born, what was the rising moon, the, the setting Venus? Where is Mercury in retrograde? Like, it gets so specific that it is almost basically down to the minute that you as an individual were born.

• 1:05:22Speaker 03

  I believe in a, a number thing way more, um.

• 1:05:26Speaker 02

  Than a star thing?

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  Than a star thing, because like, math and science, like if we lost every book we've ever had, we'll, we'll have a math textbook again eventually. Like, like all the formulas and calculations are in the universe, they just exist. They just have to be found. But the problem with this is like, with the calendar, we made the calendar.

• 1:05:46Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:05:47Speaker 03

  That's the only thing about me.

• 1:05:48Speaker 02

  But that was such an awesome thing to hear on this show of all shows. All the formulas in the world exist, we just have to find them. What the fuck am I gonna say after that?

• 1:06:00Speaker 01

  It's true, honestly.

• 1:06:00Speaker 03

  Like, like, if, if all the books we've ever made were burnt, a math textbook will come again, same exact way.

• 1:06:07Speaker 02

  But what is, why are you saying that?

• 1:06:08Speaker 03

  Because it's just the.

• 1:06:09Speaker 01

  It's just math, math and science is just, it is what it is.

• 1:06:12Speaker 03

  It's just here.

• 1:06:13Speaker 01

  It's just about how you get to the answer.

• 1:06:16Speaker 02

  Math.

• 1:06:17Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:06:17Speaker 03

  Like, like gravity will always be nine.

• 1:06:20Speaker 01

  Careful, cause there are people that don't agree with that.

• 1:06:22Speaker 03

  Like, like Newton's law will always be that, cause that's just the calculation. It's what, which is what weight does in the world.

• 1:06:27Speaker 02

  Got it, got it, got it. I see what you're saying.

• 1:06:28Speaker 01

  Correct. Like, it, it, honestly, and I know you might like fucking punch my ass for this one, but like, that's why I loved mathematics so much. Because it is what it is.

• 1:06:39Speaker 02

  Full name, oh.

• 1:06:40Speaker 01

  You can't like.

• 1:06:41Speaker 03

  First and last.

• 1:06:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm giving the government that.

• 1:06:43Speaker 02

  I love mathematics.

• 1:06:44Speaker 01

  Like, mathematics, there is, it is what it is. There is nothing you could do. Like, it's, it's just like, it's completely, and like, sometimes it could be two things, but it is just those two things. Or like, sometimes it could be like pi, where it's like, it's everything but nothing.

• 1:06:59Speaker 02

  It really makes sense why you would like math.

• 1:07:02Speaker 01

  I was recruited to be a.

• 1:07:03Speaker 02

  Logical, logical and practical. It is what it is.

• 1:07:06Speaker 01

  Oh, that's what we're doing.

• 1:07:06Speaker 02

  There's an answer.

• 1:07:07Speaker 01

  That's what we're doing.

• 1:07:08Speaker 02

  There's nothing for me to blindly believe in. I need an answer right now.

• 1:07:12Speaker 01

  I mean, but there's also people that are born the same time as me that don't feel that. And like, are fours that are just not like that. I just.

• 1:07:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, maybe not that they're all like, I mean, I don't really know. I'm not really versed, uh, well-versed in any of it, but I imagine there are some people that are like, this really does speak to me.

• 1:07:30Speaker 01

  No, I know. And that's, if that's for them, cool, fine. It's just not for me.

• 1:07:35Speaker 02

  Tarot card reader in here.

• 1:07:36Speaker 01

  All you, brother.

• 1:07:38Speaker 03

  Oh, you can do it, it's fun.

• 1:07:38Speaker 02

  What are you afraid of? What are they gonna say?

• 1:07:40Speaker 01

  I just don't know. Like, they scare me a little bit.

• 1:07:44Speaker 02

  But that requires belief.

• 1:07:45Speaker 01

  A little bit. That's why I said, I have the smallest amount of belief to not fuck with it, like a Ouija board.

• 1:07:50Speaker 02

  Well, that sounds like more than belief. Yeah.

• 1:07:52Speaker 01

  No. It's just like, I'm not playing with it. I've seen enough horror movies for like, the guy that's just like, this is all garbage. And then they get mauled by ghosts.

• 1:08:02Speaker 02

  But, but.

• 1:08:05Speaker 02

  But you don't think that's gonna happen?

• 1:08:09Speaker 01

  It's a good point.

• 1:08:10Speaker 02

  It's also not gonna happen. That's not what it is.

• 1:08:13Speaker 01

  I'm just not, I am, like I said, enough, there is the smallest amount of belief that is enough for me to not fuck with it.

• 1:08:22Speaker 02

  It doesn't curse you.

• 1:08:23Speaker 01

  You never know.

• 1:08:24Speaker 03

  If anything, it'll tell you you have a curse, which is helpful.

• 1:08:27Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:08:27Speaker 01

  And then, and then what? You got a curse. Now what do I do?

• 1:08:30Speaker 02

  Being aware is good.

• 1:08:32Speaker 01

  Yeah. Oh, I'm aware of a curse?

• 1:08:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:08:34Speaker 01

  That's almost worse.

• 1:08:36Speaker 02

  I mean, if you're cursed.

• 1:08:37Speaker 01

  Like this guy.

• 1:08:37Speaker 02

  The shittiest curse ever.

• 1:08:40Speaker 03

  They did a bad job.

• 1:08:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, honestly, I'd be like, curse me more, maybe.

• 1:08:47Speaker 01

  Oh yeah, cuz your life is so hard.

• 1:08:49Speaker 02

  I'm not the one saying it.

• 1:08:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's right.

• 1:08:54Speaker 03

  I'll do one.

• 1:08:56Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean. You'll do it, do it for Joe's show. You could do it for that. We don't need to put it on here.

• 1:09:01Speaker 02

  It's so funny that you're afraid of it.

• 1:09:03Speaker 01

  I'm not afraid, I just don't.

• 1:09:04Speaker 03

  You're afraid.

• 1:09:05Speaker 01

  I just don't wanna fuck with it.

• 1:09:07Speaker 03

  That's fear.

• 1:09:08Speaker 01

  Like, I'm not afraid of sharks, but I also am not gonna fuck with it if the opportunity presented itself.

• 1:09:13Speaker 03

  You're describing fear.

• 1:09:14Speaker 01

  No, it's not. Fear is like, it's like, like.

• 1:09:18Speaker 03

  I'm scared.

• 1:09:18Speaker 01

  Consistently like, oh.

• 1:09:20Speaker 03

  Avoiding.

• 1:09:22Speaker 01

  I'm not avoiding, I'm just not presenting the opportunity to be around it.

• 1:09:25Speaker 03

  Fear is almost like you won't go too far in the ocean cuz you don't wanna see anything.

• 1:09:29Speaker 01

  I went into the ocean.

• 1:09:30Speaker 03

  Too far, I said.

• 1:09:31Speaker 02

  He went up to his knee.

• 1:09:33Speaker 01

  I went far enough.

• 1:09:35Speaker 03

  He snorkelled and screamed.

• 1:09:37Speaker 01

  I breathed like a bastard, let me tell ya.

• 1:09:40Speaker 02

  I breathe like a bastard.

• 1:09:43Speaker 02

  Alright, well, I'll get the tarot card reader in here. We'll just, we'll just, we'll just get someone up here. You won't even know, they'll just pop up.

• 1:09:51Speaker 01

  That would be worse, dude. I would just sit here and just be like, yo, I'm not contributing. That would be the worst episode of our show.

• 1:09:56Speaker 02

  You're just not gonna contribute? Well, you don't have to do anything.

• 1:09:59Speaker 01

  If you got a tarot card reader in here to do your cards in front of me, fine, but I'm not, just, I'll be like, yo, respectfully, keep me out of it.

• 1:10:10Speaker 02

  This is so funny.

• 1:10:11Speaker 01

  Why?

• 1:10:12Speaker 02

  It is. Because that's like, I mean, the equivalent is like, if you got a cockroach and threw it on me, and over here, you're like, don't read my tarot cards to me.

• 1:10:18Speaker 01

  I just, I feel like it'd be an invasion of privacy. Like, it'd be like, don't, don't tell me my tarot cards, dude. Don't look at my cards.

• 1:10:25Speaker 03

  It sounds like you believe pretty heavily.

• 1:10:27Speaker 01

  Again, I believe to the point, like, if I hear it going on, I'm just like, that's nonsense. But I believe enough that I'm not gonna invite the opportunity into my life.

• 1:10:36Speaker 03

  It's not fair you have every opinion.

• 1:10:38Speaker 02

  You're afraid to learn.

• 1:10:39Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:10:41Speaker 01

  You got me. That sounds like a real number four.

• 1:10:44Speaker 02

  That sounds like a real thing for a therapist, honestly.

• 1:10:48Speaker 01

  Oh, no, I mean, it's not that deep.

• 1:10:50Speaker 02

  It's not about it being deep, it's just about.

• 1:10:52Speaker 01

  Oh, I need to, this is the part of the episode on the monthly basis where you tell me I need therapy?

• 1:10:56Speaker 02

  Yep. Not only that, but now I'm going to do something that is probably very ill-advised and surprise you with the tarot card.

• 1:11:05Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, yeah, I thought, I thought someone was walking out right now. I was gonna be like.

• 1:11:08Speaker 02

  And here she is, Madame Zaroni.

• 1:11:10Speaker 01

  I'm terrified at that one day. You're just gonna like, spring something up on me during an episode or some shit like that.

• 1:11:15Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:11:16Speaker 01

  It's like, here, oh, you hate, you hate snakes? Well, bring in the cobra.

• 1:11:20Speaker 02

  No, dude, I don't like snakes. I mean, I'm okay with snakes, but.

• 1:11:23Speaker 01

  I mean, I wouldn't want a cobra here. If, I'm telling you right now, open that door, I'm bringing in centipedes for you.

• 1:11:30Speaker 02

  I'm okay with centipedes, just not all over me.

• 1:11:33Speaker 01

  I'm bringing in, I'll lock you in a pod, and I'll fucking dump a centipede on you.

• 1:11:38Speaker 02

  Dump a centipede. Um, okay, so no tarot cards, I'm not gonna force it upon you.

• 1:11:47Speaker 02

  Is there anything else spiritual that I could force upon you, though?

• 1:11:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't like how you're doing this, dude.

• 1:11:52Speaker 02

  Which part?

• 1:11:53Speaker 01

  The shoving your spirituality in me.

• 1:11:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's ill-advised.

• 1:11:58Speaker 01

  It's not nice.

• 1:11:59Speaker 02

  I'm asking if I can.

• 1:12:02Speaker 01

  I don't want it.

• 1:12:03Speaker 02

  It's not nice.

• 1:12:05Speaker 01

  It's not cool.

• 1:12:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'm not doing anything, dude, relax. There's no one, there's no one here.

• 1:12:09Speaker 01

  Schools trying to turn me.

• 1:12:10Speaker 02

  Turn you into what?

• 1:12:12Speaker 01

  A spiritual guy.

• 1:12:13Speaker 02

  I'm not trying to make you a spiritual guy.

• 1:12:14Speaker 01

  Are you in? You want someone to come in here and read your cards?

• 1:12:17Speaker 02

  I think it would be fun.

• 1:12:18Speaker 03

  It is fun.

• 1:12:19Speaker 02

  I don't know. I don't think it's gonna go the way you think. You think that they're gonna be like, oh, this is, like, it's not Harry Potter.

• 1:12:24Speaker 01

  I will be very aware of every, like, eye twitch they have, and like, every, like, oh.

• 1:12:30Speaker 02

  They're not gonna be like, you know, in, uh, the Harry, I just watched it the other day, but when she, like, they have, like, coffee cups.

• 1:12:34Speaker 01

  And she's like, oh, oh, oh.

• 1:12:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, she's like, you've got the Black Death, or whatever the fuck she says.

• 1:12:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, no.

• 1:12:39Speaker 02

  It's not gonna be like that.

• 1:12:40Speaker 01

  You could see, like, it's like, in a cup of tea, you could see, like, some, like, evil shit. I don't know.

• 1:12:44Speaker 02

  They're gonna flip it over and be like, oh, it's a thousand swords, like.

• 1:12:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, and I'd be like, what the fuck is that?

• 1:12:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, and I mean, I don't know.

• 1:12:50Speaker 01

  Cuz it sounds cool. I'd love a thousand swords.

• 1:12:53Speaker 02

  I do remember when I got my tarot cards read, there was one that flipped over, and I'm like, that's sick, and she's like, ah, and I was like, oh, okay.

• 1:12:59Speaker 01

  Well, like, they all look like, like, they're like, an old-school style, where like, they look, like, the art, the artistry behind it is cool.

• 1:13:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:13:08Speaker 01

  But then you, like, it's like, oh, that's the maiden, and it's like, what the fuck does that mean? It's like, it's not good.

• 1:13:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. I love how they're like, so random. It's like, oh, this is the eight-headed woman and the wolf. I'm like, how could that, who's even thinking of this?

• 1:13:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't, uh.

• 1:13:23Speaker 02

  Oh my god, you got the church and the albino. I'm like, what is that? What is that? How could that mean anything?

• 1:13:30Speaker 01

  I can't believe it. It's the maiden in the pumpkin patch, you know, shit like that.

• 1:13:36Speaker 02

  It's the princess and the Scotch tape. I'm like, alright, well.

• 1:13:40Speaker 01

  No way. The children amongst the school bus. Like, huh? This was made in the 1600s. They didn't have school buses.

• 1:13:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, or like, I think also, some are so boring, it's like, oh, the lily pad. I'm like, alright, I suck.

• 1:13:53Speaker 01

  What are the, now, yeah, you're gonna look up.

• 1:13:55Speaker 02

  Is there only like a certain?

• 1:13:56Speaker 01

  Seventy-eight cards, brother?

• 1:13:57Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 1:13:59Speaker 01

  They look, again, they're beautiful.

• 1:14:00Speaker 02

  And there's suits and everything. There's like, cups, pints, swords, no, cups.

• 1:14:04Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:14:05Speaker 02

  Cups, coins, swords, flowers.

• 1:14:07Speaker 01

  Look up what's the best tarot card to get.

• 1:14:11Speaker 01

  Like, what is the coolest one? Best, I, I'm sure there's gonna be no epis, there's gonna be no.

• 1:14:17Speaker 02

  This is like, how you don't do it.

• 1:14:21Speaker 02

  The sun. The ten of cups, I got that one.

• 1:14:25Speaker 03

  Often called the wish card. It represents ultimate.

• 1:14:28Speaker 02

  Emotional fulfillment, family and domestic bliss.

• 1:14:30Speaker 01

  Oh my god, this is what he's gone to therapy for for fifteen years. Give me the ten of cups, therapist.

• 1:14:36Speaker 02

  I did the ten, I got the ten of cups when I was in a coffee shop, when I first started doing my first podcast.

• 1:14:44Speaker 01

  Your first podcast?

• 1:14:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, when I did it.

• 1:14:46Speaker 01

  Podcast cheating on me, bitch?

• 1:14:47Speaker 02

  No, this was before your time.

• 1:14:50Speaker 01

  My time has always been.

• 1:14:51Speaker 02

  It was before basement.

• 1:14:52Speaker 03

  It was BF.

• 1:14:53Speaker 01

  Oh, I remember that.

• 1:14:54Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 1:14:56Speaker 02

  The hermit meaning?

• 1:14:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, some of them are just.

• 1:15:00Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:15:01Speaker 02

  The hanged man. See, that would.

• 1:15:03Speaker 03

  See, that would scare me.

• 1:15:04Speaker 02

  Throw.

• 1:15:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, death, like, death waning, and like, they flip over, and it's fucking Baphomet, and I'm like, well, this sucks. No, no, no, it's a good one. It's a good demon card. Huh?

• 1:15:14Speaker 03

  No, because you got it third in the order. It's actually.

• 1:15:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly. It came out third upside down, so it's meaning that no one is gonna summon Paimon.

• 1:15:21Speaker 02

  Wands, wands. Ah, there's some wands.

• 1:15:25Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't know. I think it'd be cool.

• 1:15:29Speaker 02

  They're big cards, too. I like that they're big. It's kinda like Magic the Gathering.

• 1:15:32Speaker 01

  Those were regular-sized cards.

• 1:15:34Speaker 02

  Right.

• 1:15:35Speaker 03

  I think I got, I think I got the king of pentacles.

• 1:15:39Speaker 02

  Oh, shit, that sounds like.

• 1:15:41Speaker 01

  Cuz I love pens and I love tentacles, so, good combo there.

• 1:15:45Speaker 02

  What's a pentacle?

• 1:15:47Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 1:15:48Speaker 02

  Hard work, productive, perfectionist. Yeah, right.

• 1:15:52Speaker 01

  Hey, I think you worked hard.

• 1:15:53Speaker 02

  Look at that. That's what you think.

• 1:15:58Speaker 03

  This is what, this is what.

• 1:15:59Speaker 01

  Hard work, the work is drinking Jameson and ginger ale.

• 1:16:03Speaker 03

  This is what happens. You know what I think Frankie would get? I'm just gonna make one up.

• 1:16:07Speaker 01

  Oh, no, no, no.

• 1:16:09Speaker 03

  I think Frankie would get the.

• 1:16:11Speaker 01

  Just click on a random one. Let Frank pick one.

• 1:16:13Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, Frank, pick one. Oh, this is how tarot cards work, by the way.

• 1:16:15Speaker 01

  Really?

• 1:16:16Speaker 03

  Pretty much, like, the one that comes out is the one, like, oh, this is meant for you, so.

• 1:16:19Speaker 01

  Alright, just do one.

• 1:16:20Speaker 02

  Fuck cups.

• 1:16:21Speaker 01

  Just do one.

• 1:16:21Speaker 03

  So knowing, knowing nothing about it.

• 1:16:23Speaker 01

  Wands, so what are the suits? There's wands, there's swords?

• 1:16:27Speaker 03

  Wands, cups, swords, and pentacles.

• 1:16:28Speaker 01

  Pentacles?

• 1:16:29Speaker 02

  I mean, you like pentacles.

• 1:16:30Speaker 01

  I did like the word, but let's go swords.

• 1:16:34Speaker 02

  Swords, okay.

• 1:16:35Speaker 01

  Let's go.

• 1:16:36Speaker 02

  The ace of swords?

• 1:16:37Speaker 01

  Eight of swords, cuz I like the number eight.

• 1:16:39Speaker 02

  Eight of swords. The eight of swords, let's figure out what this is.

• 1:16:41Speaker 01

  Uh-oh, this might fucking backfire on me.

• 1:16:43Speaker 03

  This is in the spirit of tarot, I believe.

• 1:16:45Speaker 02

  Yeah?

• 1:16:45Speaker 01

  I don't wanna fuck.

• 1:16:48Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:16:48Speaker 02

  Negative thinking, victim, negative thinking, victim, and limiting beliefs, Frank. That is insane.

• 1:16:55Speaker 03

  Yo, that's gotta, that's.

• 1:16:55Speaker 02

  Frank, that is fucking outrageous.

• 1:16:59Speaker 01

  Why?

• 1:17:00Speaker 02

  Why?

• 1:17:00Speaker 01

  You mean this is what you've been doing this whole time? I don't think so.

• 1:17:04Speaker 02

  I'm bought in.

• 1:17:05Speaker 01

  I don't think so.

• 1:17:06Speaker 02

  Frank, negative thinking.

• 1:17:09Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:17:09Speaker 03

  Limiting beliefs.

• 1:17:10Speaker 01

  I don't think so. Alright, pick another, if you're so bought in.

• 1:17:13Speaker 02

  No, you.

• 1:17:13Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:17:14Speaker 02

  I, I don't.

• 1:17:14Speaker 01

  Let me pick another.

• 1:17:15Speaker 02

  I don't know if it's how it works.

• 1:17:16Speaker 01

  Another.

• 1:17:18Speaker 03

  I feel like it was, that was just, it was too, I'm surprised you wanna pick another one.

• 1:17:21Speaker 02

  That is crazy, bro.

• 1:17:22Speaker 01

  Uh, nah, now you got me scared. Now you got me.

• 1:17:26Speaker 02

  That was insane.

• 1:17:27Speaker 01

  You got me freaked out, dude.

• 1:17:29Speaker 02

  That's so fucking funny.

• 1:17:30Speaker 01

  Scroll up.

• 1:17:31Speaker 02

  Scroll up, okay.

• 1:17:32Speaker 01

  Scroll up, get me away from these swords.

• 1:17:34Speaker 02

  Just like, get me the ten of cups right now.

• 1:17:36Speaker 01

  Alright, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Uh, page of wands.

  Oh, a page?

  A page of wands.

• 1:17:42Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 1:17:43Speaker 01

  I'm just going off the name here, so everyone shut their fucking mouths.

• 1:17:48Speaker 01

  What does this say?

• 1:17:49Speaker 03

  There's no way it'll be as cool as this.

• 1:17:51Speaker 02

  Ideas, potential, and inspiration.

• 1:17:53Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:17:54Speaker 01

  Now, now who's laughing?

• 1:17:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, I'm not.

• 1:17:57Speaker 01

  That's a good page.

• 1:17:58Speaker 02

  What is it, so what does it say? Being.

• 1:18:03Speaker 02

  Oh, begin a rich, I don't know. Oh, no, never mind, that's just.

• 1:18:06Speaker 01

  It just says like, salamanders and shit in there. Wearing a sweater of salamander?

• 1:18:10Speaker 02

  Transformation.

• 1:18:13Speaker 03

  So you just realized that tarot could be something, and now you're, now you're changing.

• 1:18:16Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, got me.

• 1:18:20Speaker 02

  Freaking out.

• 1:18:22Speaker 01

  Not freaking out.

• 1:18:23Speaker 02

  Alright, we're forced upon too much, uh, tarot.

• 1:18:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:18:26Speaker 01

  Take your fucking beliefs out of me.

• 1:18:29Speaker 03

  Joe, you wanna pick one?

  I'll take the ten of cups, please. No, let me take one I've never seen before. Uh, let's do. Let's do the.

  Three of pentacles.

• 1:18:40Speaker 02

  Let's do the, the nine of pentacles.

• 1:18:43Speaker 01

  Here we go, watch this. You're gonna be a billionaire tomorrow.

• 1:18:47Speaker 02

  This isn't good.

• 1:18:50Speaker 01

  Abundance, financial success, and luxury.

• 1:18:54Speaker 03

  Alright.

• 1:18:58Speaker 01

  See, this is fucking crazy. You know what? Now I'm bought in, as if this fucker needed anything else.

• 1:19:03Speaker 03

  This is what we're talking about, dude.

• 1:19:04Speaker 02

  Oh my god!

• 1:19:06Speaker 01

  As if this fucker... Now I'm super bought in. You know what? I'm on the fucking... Get a tarot card reader in here. Just so they can tell everyone else how rich you are, you fuck.

• 1:19:18Speaker 01

  Oh, an abundance of financial growth and success, just... Oh, fucking embarrassing belief system of wow.

• 1:19:28Speaker 02

  Alright, Ant, you gotta do one.

• 1:19:29Speaker 03

  Damn it. I don't want to now.

• 1:19:32Speaker 02

  Yo, that's fucking hilarious. Oh shit, my face.

• 1:19:36Speaker 01

  If thi... I'm telling you right now, if this mentions alcohol, I will be fully bought in.

• 1:19:40Speaker 03

  Or if it mentions, like, Mario Kart.

• 1:19:44Speaker 01

  Getter of blue shells. Dodger of bullet pills.

• 1:19:48Speaker 03

  It just says, "Mario Kart, cargo shorts, your own merch."

• 1:19:57Speaker 03

  I just got nervous.

• 1:20:00Speaker 01

  Shirts that save room.

• 1:20:02Speaker 03

  I got nervous, I don't wanna pick one.

• 1:20:04Speaker 02

  I... I was honestly nervous as fuck, too.

• 1:20:06Speaker 03

  Alright, I'm gonna go two of wands. I don't know.

• 1:20:07Speaker 01

  Two of wands, two. Lover of own merch is so fucking funny, dude.

• 1:20:13Speaker 03

  Please be something good, for the love of god.

• 1:20:16Speaker 02

  Planning, faith in the future, and delays? Oh my fucking god, I knew you were gonna fuck something up.

• 1:20:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, definitely not this.

• 1:20:22Speaker 02

  Damn it!

• 1:20:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, delays.

• 1:20:24Speaker 01

  Definitely not. See?

• 1:20:26Speaker 02

  Planning, we are planning, we're in the middle of planning, delays, I...

• 1:20:30Speaker 03

  Faith in the future, this doesn't mean from me, this means like it's in my future.

• 1:20:34Speaker 02

  Does it?

• 1:20:34Speaker 01

  In your future, there's faith in the future? Not you, brother. If anything, you have the opposite.

• 1:20:39Speaker 03

  The green grass represents the potential and the mountains represent the changes you may face.

• 1:20:43Speaker 01

  Green grass and hot tatts.

• 1:20:45Speaker 03

  Oh, the challenges, sorry.

• 1:20:46Speaker 02

  Wait, so actually, this is actually pretty accurate.

• 1:20:48Speaker 01

  Get the hell out of here. You get one more, Ant. You get one more.

• 1:20:51Speaker 03

  Oh, oh, are you gonna double? No, I don't wanna.

• 1:20:54Speaker 02

  I'm going out on motherfucking top.

• 1:20:56Speaker 01

  Yeah, brother, you got...

• 1:20:59Speaker 01

  These cards are gonna tell you what you already and everyone always, everyone knows. Everyone, everywhere, already knows about you, Joey.

• 1:21:07Speaker 02

  Holy shit, that was funny. Alright, well, there you go. We just did our tarot cards. Boom. That was hilarious. Oh, fuck.

• 1:21:15Speaker 01

  That was good.

• 1:21:16Speaker 03

  That was nerve wracking.

• 1:21:18Speaker 01

  Can't believe it. Unbelievable end.

• 1:21:19Speaker 02

  That was so funny.

• 1:21:20Speaker 01

  What a hot episode, dude.

• 1:21:21Speaker 02

  That was like Yolanda dumpster.

• 1:21:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. I think Yolanda dumpster and fucking limiting, and then Joey gets... Just like... You know what this card says?

• 1:21:33Speaker 02

  Luxury.

• 1:21:34Speaker 01

  You're just fucking loaded, dude. You're fucking loaded and you have the best stuff of all of the stuff.

• 1:21:40Speaker 02

  Oh, fuck, that was funny. Oh shit, well...

• 1:21:44Speaker 01

  I think there's a card that says you're gonna buy really cool things for your co-host and his producer.

• 1:21:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, it could happen, yeah.

• 1:21:50Speaker 03

  Oh, I'll find that one, hold on.

• 1:21:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:53Speaker 01

  Generosity and financial wealth.

• 1:21:55Speaker 03

  Alright, let's find Frankie. We gotta, we gotta find the generosity or gift giving ones. Come on, let's work together.

• 1:21:59Speaker 01

  You know what it's gonna be? I'm gonna tell you right now. Watch this. It's gonna be, scroll up, scroll up, scroll up. It's gonna be the queen of cups.

• 1:22:08Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:22:08Speaker 01

  If this is about being generous, I'm telling you right now, I'm fully in.

• 1:22:12Speaker 03

  I'm not even doing an outro if it's about generosity. Oh my god, I got so scared just now.

• 1:22:17Speaker 01

  Couldn't be, yeah.

• 1:22:17Speaker 03

  Caring, intuitive, and compassionate, so I have a lot of, I care about you guys, I'm not gonna buy you anything.

• 1:22:21Speaker 01

  You're not.

• 1:22:22Speaker 03

  Damn it!

• 1:22:22Speaker 01

  You're so intuitive of what we want, but not getting it for...

• 1:22:26Speaker 02

  I'm compassionate of the fact that you want things.

• 1:22:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, see, that's more, that makes more sense.

• 1:22:30Speaker 01

  But I care about not giving it to you more than I care about giving it to you.

• 1:22:33Speaker 03

  See, I'm so caring for you, I don't think you should really have the thing.

• 1:22:36Speaker 02

  That's what it is, yeah, ultimately.

• 1:22:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know there's someone watching this episode that's so into tarot and they're screaming at their screen right now.

• 1:22:43Speaker 02

  They're lighting candles right now.

• 1:22:45Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:22:46Speaker 02

  Um, alright, well, there you have it, folks. That's our episode for today.

• 1:22:49Speaker 01

  Did tarot get us demonetized? Is that close enough?

• 1:22:52Speaker 02

  Tarot?

• 1:22:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:22:53Speaker 02

  Well, about, to what?

• 1:22:54Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 1:22:55Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:22:56Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 1:22:56Speaker 03

  You were talking about assholes for like seven minutes.

• 1:22:58Speaker 01

  That was, that might have done it. That might have done it.

• 1:23:00Speaker 02

  What were you talking about?

• 1:23:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think I specified about Joey's asshole. Yeah.

• 1:23:05Speaker 03

  Got it, got it, got it, got it. Where can they find you?

• 1:23:08Speaker 01

  Uh, hopefully alive and well.

• 1:23:11Speaker 03

  You're good.

• 1:23:12Speaker 01

  Um, and, uh, the Frank Alvarez everywhere. How about that?

• 1:23:15Speaker 03
