I forget what the movie was, but there was a trailer for Kung Fu Panda. Or not Kung Fu Panda, Kung Pao Enter the Fist. Remember that movie?

[Francis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

And me and my friend, whoever is at the movie with theater with. Is it me? My friend, we're in the, you know, the handicap seats.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So there's two. There's a row that's just two seats here, two seats on the other side. And we're in the one side of the handicap seats. On the other side, there is a like, just like butch lesbian flannel, you know, like Guy Fieri hair, you know, like those style lesbians, like brown bagging something, you know, drunk. And in the previews and Kung Pao Enter the Fist preview comes on with the cow, and this lesbian is screaming, laughing, like

[Francis]

cow,

[Tyler]

like just dying, laughing. And they. And they ejected from the theater before they even started.

[Lev]

They kicked him out.

[Tyler]

They kicked.

[Francis]

Did someone catch them?

[Tyler]

Or they. They reported that. I mean, they were like stumbling drunk. This is like obviously a very drunk, obvious lesbian. What happened to that guy was Steve. Steve Odenkirk. Is that who did Kung Pao Enter the Fist? Did he do any other movies after that?

[Francis]

I only remember Bob Odenkirk.

[Tyler]

No, there was Steve Oda.

[Francis]

I don't know. There was another Odenkirk and he did

[Tyler]

like the thumb movies.

[Francis]

Oh, the Thumb movies were sick.

[Lev]

Spy Kids.

[Francis]

Yeah, Spy Kids. End of the Thumb Yeah, I don't remember.

[Harry]

Wasn't there a. A Charlie Sheen spoof movie?

[Tyler]

Hot Shots?

[Harry]

Was that what it was?

[Tyler]

Hot Shots and Hot Shots Part two?

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

What was that?

[Tyler]

I don't know, but I loved those when I was a kid.

[Francis]

It was like Naked Gun style, like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but they were like parodies of, like, war movies. Yeah, yeah, he's.

[Francis]

Charlie Sheen is funny.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Especially those transcripts of him giving that woman aids.

[Francis]

Those are the funniest thing.

[Tyler]

He's like, you should be grateful I gave you this. Now we can be together.

[Francis]

And his, like, big moment in that documentary was like, he did some gay once. It's like, yeah, no, I thought he

[Lev]

did a bunch of gay. I thought he was like, gay Sheen.

[Francis]

Yeah. I mean, I think that that's what, like, he. That was his, like the. The big conceit of that whole documentary was like, yeah, he was a little bit gay along the way, but it's like, yeah, like you were on crack.

[Tyler]

Like, of course.

[Francis]

Yeah. You're a crackhead sex addict.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

You're gonna mix some dick in here.

[Francis]

The hole is a hole.

[Harry]

Yeah, Ye.

[Lev]

Yeah, exactly.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Get a little bit of this, a

[Francis]

little bit of that loud ass water.

[Harry]

It's like you're getting ready to scuba dive. That's what you do.

[Lev]

I thought you were doing, like, galaxy Gas.

[Harry]

Now I see how you go through so many. Those sips are really long.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. I like, completely refill my whole system.

[Harry]

That's amazing.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, fair enough.

[Harry]

Sounds like.

[Tyler]

I love. I love drinking water. Yeah, I think it's great.

[Harry]

Yeah,

[Tyler]

we.

[Harry]

We connected on the coffee. Coffee. And what was funny about that was that initially I was like, are you. You were telling me you were into tinkering, and I was like, what do you have? You. Are you into coffee? Making coffee? And you're like, not really. Like, whatever. And I started explaining my whole new rig and he was like, yeah, I mean, you know, look, I'll. At most I'll just do like a pour over with.

[Tyler]

I don't do a pour over. I have an aeropress.

[Harry]

You have an aeropress.

[Tyler]

So I grind my own beans. I have an arrow.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Harry]

I mean, this is what I'm. You tried to tell me that you weren't that into it.

[Tyler]

Because I don't. Because I'm in the world of coffee.

[Harry]

I am, like, sure, but grinding your own beans and aeropress.

[Tyler]

I'm trying to remember the word. I think it's neophyte, but faggot keeps coming. Yeah. They call it a neo. Faggot. I don't. Yeah. Like. Like an espresso machine. I mean, that's. You're really. You're. You're deep in there.

[Harry]

I am now. Yeah. But still, I think that your attention to detail would put most coffee makers to shame.

[Tyler]

Maybe. I mean, the AeroPress is, like. It's $35.

[Lev]

Right.

[Tyler]

It's simple. You know, I wasn't like, oh, this is, like, the best cup of coffee I can get, but Keurigs are just dog.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

It's disgusting.

[Lev]

I got a Keurig. Love it.

[Tyler]

Just because you don't know what's out there. It's like. It's literally. It's like, the same as, like, somebody that only eats microwave dinners being like, you know. Yeah.

[Harry]

Delicious.

[Tyler]

Hungry man is awesome.

[Francis]

I love steak.

[Tyler]

It takes. It takes. Yeah. A minute and a. I have it. I don't even need a plate. Yeah.

[Lev]

I really.

[Tyler]

I'm such a bum. I don't even. It separates all my food for me.

[Francis]

I need nuclear reactor corn.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

I barely. I don't even really drink coffee.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Even Nespresso is kind of like dog.

[Tyler]

Well, that's because it's the Keurig of espresso.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And then that seems even more crazy than Nespresso to me. It's like, if you want an espresso at home, you should do what he did.

[Lev]

Yeah, but he spent $10,000.

[Tyler]

You got to make 10,000. Sorry.

[Harry]

You guys aren't working hard enough. You can also get those. The stovetop Italian metal things. I don't know what they're called.

[Tyler]

The, like, percolators.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

The octagon.

[Harry]

That makes amazing espresso.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

When I was in Miami all last week, they were making. They told me it was Colombian coffee, which I guess is just, like, really potent, and then they put a ton of sugar in it. Oh, but they were making it in those. Yeah, those methods.

[Francis]

What.

[Tyler]

What are they called? Is it called a moki pot? It's like I.

[Harry]

Or something like that. Or a Mausolini.

[Tyler]

M O. K. I. I think.

[Francis]

Did you see the Japanese dude who was making espresso on the train?

[Lev]

Yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

Letti. Yeah, that's the one.

[Lev]

People sending that to you?

[Harry]

Yeah, I guess people are sending it to me. Someone. Someone did it on a chairlift, too.

[Francis]

Oh, wow.

[Harry]

Look. I mean, look. That's.

[Lev]

That's a little performative.

[Harry]

Sure is.

[Francis]

You think it's performative, or you think it's just dog?

[Harry]

No, I think that's very good. That machine and the grinder and all that stuff he's using is top of the line. The other thing that's cool is the Turkish coffee, where they put it in the hot sand.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but there's, like, dirt in that. Anytime I've had Turk, people, like, I remember having Turkish coffee at a Turkish restaurant for the first time, and people are like, oh, you And Turkish coffee is great. And there's just dirt in it. Oh, there's like the grains, or maybe they just made it shitty. But there was.

[Francis]

There's a film of dirt on the top of it that I like on it.

[Harry]

Watching it all get me. I mean, all the videos. This is. My whole feed is just people making coffee in different ethnic ways.

[Tyler]

I was watching videos of, like, people that do gung fu tea, which is, I think, supposed to. It's like the same word in Chinese as kung fu, but it's called. When it's tea, it's like gong gong fu tea. And there's like a way you prepare the tea. Like, people have the tray, but then you have to, like, pour hot water. You pour the tea, but then all over the tray, you, like, make a mess. It's like part of it. It's like a spiritual thing, I guess. But it looks very stupid watching people.

[Francis]

Yeah, it looks like Thai iced tea, kind of. This is like that.

[Lev]

Yeah, it looked like.

[Francis]

Is it like a milky.

[Tyler]

Yeah, here we go.

[Francis]

The art of gung fu. Kung fu Cha.

[Harry]

This kid in college went to Argentina and came back with mate. He had a mate rig. You ever had that yerba? It might be, probably, but he knew how to brew it properly. And it has the metal straw. It tastes terrible, but it's got a lot of caffeine in it. Mate. That sounds like hell ritual to it, you know?

[Tyler]

Yeah. See, they have to pour the tea. You have a toy that you have to pour the tea on.

[Lev]

Yeah. This is crazy.

[Francis]

What's that? Like a ceramic frog?

[Tyler]

It's a ceramic frog. It's like. It represents, like, the spirit of the tea, and you have to feed it some of the tea. It's like. I mean, certain things are like. You know, there's cultural sharing, but if you're not Chinese and you're doing this, you're a retard.

[Lev]

Yeah. That's insane.

[Tyler]

This would be like if you were, like, a Chinese guy and you got into, like, American culture and then you were, like, wearing a helmet and eating cookies all the time because you heard, like, American people with down syndrome like that. You know what I mean?

[Francis]

I mean, did you used to live in Chinatown.

[Tyler]

I did.

[Francis]

Yeah. Like, I feel like you. I would hear you talk about people, how people dress in Chinatown with like this amalgam of Americans.

[Tyler]

They do. They have all those.

[Francis]

A Mickey Mouse.

[Tyler]

Yeah, they do have like a lot of bubble jack. They like the bubble puffers.

[Lev]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Those big ass ones I saw an

[Tyler]

old Chinese guy wearing. He had like a red backpack on and then he also had like red rain boots. Look like Paddington. Like this, like. Yeah, he's just like a three year old. That was very cute.

[Harry]

There are multiple sort of very popular, highly sought after Japanese clothing brands who love this whole thing is that they make vintage American clothing better than anyone else.

[Lev]

Really?

[Harry]

So they make Americana, like, like they'll put like logos. They're like reproducing American workwear from a bygone era. Better than American company.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, jeans are probably nothing like what they used to be like 100 years ago.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Back when they had to like hold up to, you know, if you were like an actual cowboy or.

[Lev]

Oh, yeah, get them stiff.

[Francis]

We're like mining in San Francisco or something like that. I mean, some of those still exist. Like, some of those, like the original jeans are still out there. The original Levi's.

[Harry]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lev]

You got any stiff jeans like that?

[Harry]

I have some stiff jeans. Yeah.

[Lev]

What is the shit that they put on them?

[Tyler]

Starch.

[Lev]

Starch?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

You starch them up.

[Harry]

I don't do that.

[Francis]

Dudes keep them in freezers. They'll stand them up in a freezer.

[Lev]

I think the freezer's for the Japanese denim.

[Harry]

That's how you wash them, dot them with baking soda on the inside, then you roll them up with rubber bands and put it in the freezer.

[Lev]

That's crazy. I couldn't even do that. I couldn't have Japanese denim if I wanted to.

[Harry]

Which is to preserve a corpse too.

[Francis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

You're trying to for a while.

[Tyler]

I hope we get Gundam soon. I can just be in a Gundam nude. Yeah, yeah.

[Francis]

What's a gun?

[Tyler]

I never bathe. I'm just. I smell terrible.

[Harry]

What's a Gundam?

[Tyler]

It's a giant robot with weapons you like, sit in the cockpit of.

[Lev]

Oh, that would be huge. Like just. Just you just walk to the store, show.

[Tyler]

Francis would have Gundam.

[Francis]

Tyler, can you pull up a Gundam? Is that what the song's about? That psy song?

[Tyler]

Gang them? I think Gangnam's like a town in. In South Korea.

[Lev]

It's like Power Power Rangers.

[Tyler]

What are we thinking for Korean reunification? When's that happening? Probably next Five years.

[Francis]

Oh, yeah. I thought it already happened. I thought they were back linked up or maybe when? What did he say? His daughter's going to be the next Kim. Kim Jong.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Kim Possible. Kim Basinger.

[Lev]

He won the vote again, 99%.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Smoked it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. They are awesome. That is cool. I've been saying they're like, there's a lot of ways to think about a government. Right. They can, like, provide things for people, or you can just build the biggest missiles.

[Lev]

Exactly.

[Tyler]

And then tell the United States. Just threaten the United States. Constantly.

[Lev]

That's constantly doing tests.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You remember in, like, 2017 when they were, like, launching those first ICBMs, and they're like, well, we can nuke Los Angeles. Okay. Please don't. And they're just over there just standing up for themselves. Yeah.

[Francis]

They're just not going to get bullied

[Tyler]

having kimchi, building big weapons.

[Lev]

They're always saying they're going to do something. They're always like, they said. They said they would back Iran. They were like, if Iran just asks, we'll blow up all of Israel.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

And it's like.

[Tyler]

But, well, let's see. I mean, if you're Iran, you got to think. It's like, no, let me do this on my own.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Because if they do, if they win, I mean, it's over here.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

We're done. We're over.

[Francis]

Then Love's definitely going to be Islamic.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, that's the plan. That's why I keep telling them. It's like, look, you know, Iran's going to win. Yeah. Iran's going to win no matter what. No matter what happens.

[Francis]

Just get in now. It'll be so much better for you if you get it now.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

It's like girls in France that fuck

[Tyler]

the Nazis, we need them. Get him by buying a $600 pipe.

[Lev]

The 600 pipe. I think you could get him to buy that today.

[Tyler]

Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yeah.

[Lev]

He'd be like, look, man, I was talking to Nick and, yeah, I think

[Tyler]

it's like, well, could you buy it? You buy it once.

[Francis]

Yeah, buy once, cry once. That's Francis.

[Lev]

Like, I'll use it forever.

[Tyler]

Meanwhile, you could get like, a corn cob pipe at cvs. It'll probably last you just as long

[Lev]

for, like a dollar.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I'm surprised you don't see homeless people smoking pipes more often. That's what I would do if I was. If I had schizophrenia and I was covered in shit and I lived outside. Yeah.

[Lev]

Then you got to carry around the tobacco.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

You Know, you need the tamper from Normcore, but.

[Harry]

Yeah, but the problem is, is that they like to smoke the discarded butts of cigarettes.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Nobody's tossing out half smoked pop, but

[Francis]

you rip those open and you get a fat pack.

[Harry]

True.

[Lev]

That's a good. That's a good pack. Probably better than smoking the butt of a cigarette would be.

[Harry]

Yeah, maybe, but I also. You have to light the pipe multiple times. They all live outside. It's gusty.

[Lev]

It's true.

[Harry]

Cigarette. You light ones.

[Francis]

That's way too gusty for them.

[Lev]

It is pretty gusty.

[Tyler]

Use a Zippo. Windproof.

[Francis]

Yeah, we got to get these homeless people Zippos.

[Lev]

I just need. They're going to need some lighter. Lighter fluid as well.

[Francis]

Yeah. Some butane.

[Harry]

Do you have. Do you have anything you want to provoke? Anything you're talking.

[Tyler]

No, I'm not doing shit, man. My. It's. I'm. I'm great these days. I fucking. I do nothing. I read about the war.

[Lev]

Hell, yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Lev]

That's pretty much what I.

[Francis]

Doctor, you know, you go to the doctor?

[Tyler]

I went to the doctor today.

[Francis]

What'd they say?

[Tyler]

I don't know. We'll find out. We'll see.

[Francis]

Oh, they got you on ice.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

They gave you a cliffhanger.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but, you know, we'll see.

[Francis]

I went to the doctor on Friday. They made me. They did a stress test for my heart.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

And they just had me sprinting uphill at the doctor's office.

[Tyler]

Did you. Did you have something happen that they did? That or.

[Francis]

I was getting life insurance, and then they said that my cholesterol is high.

[Tyler]

Oh, okay.

[Francis]

And so they're like, do we want to make sure that you don't have cork stoppages in your heart? Yeah, we're gonna have you sprint uphill.

[Lev]

What if you did have cork stoppages like you. Were you just gonna die right there?

[Francis]

No, I think they'd be like, you a stent or, like, bypass surgery or something.

[Tyler]

I think I had to do one of those with the cardiologist once. They just had me go on a treadmill and they put the. The leads on me.

[Francis]

Yeah, you're just like.

[Tyler]

But I think what they're measuring is, like, how quickly my heart rate dropped afterwards.

[Francis]

Oh, yes.

[Tyler]

I don't know if it's the same thing.

[Lev]

What is it like? Is it. It's supposed to draw. Is it supposed to drop fast?

[Tyler]

Yeah. Your heart rate's supposed to drop a certain percentage for every minute after you, like, cease exercise. And that measures something. I don't know.

[Lev]

Mine's got to be bad.

[Francis]

It's got to be terrible.

[Lev]

I go to the gym and then I go shout. I go home, walk home, shower. And then I get out of the shower, I'm still sweating.

[Francis]

New sweat is still creating.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Ye. That's why you got a shower at the gym. You go sauna, then shower.

[Lev]

Yeah, we. My gym has that. We have the sauna. My gym. It's like that. You go downstairs to the locker room, and there's like, the women's and the men's, and then in between, it's like one of those, like, standalone saunas.

[Tyler]

Oh, the women and the men.

[Lev]

Yes. And it's like. But it's like the size of the

[Tyler]

woman in there and her. I always tell my son, you gotta strike up a conversation and Black people

[Francis]

out loud in theaters.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Best place to do it is the communal sauna.

[Lev]

I've literally never seen someone in it. I mean, it's the size of, like, a closet.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Like, the idea of two people being in there is insane.

[Tyler]

It's nice. I go to the Life Lifetime, and The one on 34th street has the tiniest sauna you've ever seen. And I think it's, like, so small that it dissuades people from using it.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Because it's always empty.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So it's like having a personal sauna.

[Lev]

Yeah. Also, it faces the entrance to the locker room. So it's like if you're in the sauna, you're just looking at the people that are coming in. It's very odd.

[Harry]

I was in the lifetime on 23rd, and I used the sauna there, and it was packed with men.

[Tyler]

That. That one is. That 23rd street lifetime is, like, overrun now. I haven't been there in a year or so just because it's. It's.

[Harry]

It's too much.

[Tyler]

But the Dumbo one used to be the best peop. That one. I haven't been there in a while. It. People hate it now because they got rid of the basketball courts. They put in the pickleball courts, which might bring down traffic. I don't know.

[Francis]

But I think that was their intent.

[Tyler]

Yeah, hopefully.

[Harry]

I don't know. I mean, those pickleball courts are always packed.

[Tyler]

Okay, maybe I'm wrong. I haven't been there in a long time. But that Dumbo one was like that. That was the best one in the city.

[Harry]

That's the one I go to all the time.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And. But the one in 23rd, I went into that sauna. And it was like they were guys. All the seats were taken. And then there were three guys just standing. Yeah, it was packed. And nobody's talking to each other. It's silent. And I go in there, Be worth it. And one minute in, this guy goes to me, he goes, has anyone ever told you that you look like the actor from the Crown who plays the young prince?

[Tyler]

Was this an older guy?

[Harry]

No, he was. Well, Maybe he was 40, but he was gay.

[Tyler]

I've seen that guy before. I tell a story about that because that doesn't fly at Lifetime, in my opinion. Take that shit to fucking Equinox.

[Francis]

Right.

[Tyler]

Or the steam room. Or the steam room, but definitely not the dry sauna at Lifetime.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Has anyone ever told you you look like the Trans Terminator?

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think it's the same guy. Like it was close to, to the holidays or something, but he came in the, the sauna and he sat down and he looks around everybody and he goes, yeah, I was in here yesterday. It felt amazing. And like no one acknowledges it because it's like, again, yeah, not a lifetime pal. And then eventually he just gets up and he's like, well, happy New Year's, I guess, like complaining that nobody's having gay sex with him. He.

[Harry]

He followed up. He followed up when I like, kind of was like, oh, no.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And then he was like. He just goes. He goes, life is so much easier for beautiful people. Right. That's what he said to me.

[Tyler]

If I was in that sauna, I would look at him and go, anyone ever tell you you look like Matthew Shepard? And then everyone's like, whoa, that's way too. I'm like, no, but this is an Equinox.

[Francis]

All I'm saying, I'm setting a tone.

[Tyler]

I'm. We're trying to stop this guy. I thought we were all in this. I'll leave. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've. I've ruined everyone's sauna experience again.

[Harry]

He said this very self deprecating sad thing.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And was like, oh, clearly I'm not going to. You won't. You're not interested in me. And by the way, this was again, no seven people, close quarters. We're all in towels and sweating our butts.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Right. Like, you know, I would.

[Tyler]

The way you're doing the voice, I think this is the same guy. It's the same guy. It was like. And, and. And I say older. I mean, like, yeah, probably his late 40s.

[Harry]

Yeah, late 40s. Looks. Sounds right. He was, I think he was kind of fair. I remember him having like fair skin.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Kind of a paunch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's probably same. Same guy.

[Francis]

Dude, it was Chatty Kathy in the sauna.

[Tyler]

Look, if you're that guy, it's your lifestyle. Do whatever you want. Sign up for Equinox with your gym membership to Equinox.

[Harry]

I. I would have the thing that it didn't.

[Lev]

If.

[Harry]

I think that if we'd been alone, I would have talked to him.

[Lev]

I was gonna say, like, does that bother, like just talking in the sauna bother you?

[Harry]

It only bothered me because there were so many people there.

[Francis]

I was like talking to the elevator.

[Lev]

I could see you getting going in the song. Like you and that guy just having like a 45 minute convo.

[Harry]

Well, I kind of knew what he was after and it was just uncomfortable that he was doing it in front of everyone.

[Tyler]

Was he after your.

[Lev]

Well, yeah, I knew what he wanted.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

No, you're contributing to the problem. You can't want the attention.

[Harry]

I didn't, I didn't want it. No.

[Tyler]

Next time, next time a guy says that to you, especially in the lifetime anywhere else, that's your business. You treat it however you want. But collectively, I mean, that's all we got. Is that Lifetime song for straight guys. It's every other gym you can't use. So when next time you go. Pardon me. Excuse me. Yeah.

[Francis]

When he said life is so much easier for beautiful people. Right. Was he trying to commiserate and say that?

[Harry]

No, no, no. He was like almost putting himself down and then asking me for my experience by also complimenting me. He might have said, is isn't life. So, like life.

[Francis]

Did he want you to say how much, how, how awesome and easy your life was?

[Harry]

Yeah, that's what he wanted me to say while like wearing the hat he'd placed on my head of being a beautiful person. That's what it was. And I know this sounds hard, like, super.

[Francis]

He must get no dick. He must have. Yeah, it probably gets zero dick.

[Harry]

I just.

[Francis]

He has no game.

[Tyler]

Then go buy. If you got enough money. Lifetime is like 350amonth. Cancel your gym membership. Go buy a boy. Don't come here to the expensive gym and ruin it for everybody.

[Francis]

Have a small boy. Do what you want with them.

[Lev]

My gym's an ultra gay gym.

[Tyler]

What was the one David Barton used to be. That was like the big gay gym.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And then the Equinox in meatpacking is also a major.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Like Lighthouse.

[Lev]

I think I got. I Think mine's the hub, the spot. I'm the only straight guy there.

[Harry]

Mateo talks about the one in the. That one.

[Tyler]

We need to give those guys look. They used to be 5pm comes get out of the parks in New York City. They used to have a full 12 hours in every public park in the city.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And then we took that away from them. And now the gyms are destroyed.

[Francis]

It's their only safe haven.

[Tyler]

You can't even go to the. That's why I've gotten so fat over the last couple years. I'm so out of shape, I gotta go to the Doctor all the time. 17 because it's homo.

[Francis]

The Planet Fitness over here on 27th street used to have the cummiest floor in a while. It has floors like a movie theater. Your shoe would just come off behind.

[Harry]

They're supposed to be dark purple, but they lilac

[Francis]

deeply foul.

[Lev]

The the gym that I go to, the people at the work at the front desk are all gay. It's all gay people at the front. And then I'm done.

[Tyler]

I finished it.

[Francis]

Get this guy body armor.

[Lev]

It's just a lot of gay people, you know? And it kind of feels like you're a fish out of water.

[Francis]

Why do you still go? You're kind of enabling them. You're kind of telling them this life's

[Lev]

out because they're not the thing. I don't get that. I don't get like I'm not getting the. You know, it must be nice being a beautiful person.

[Tyler]

I show up.

[Lev]

So I show up and they're looking at me like, who let this guy in?

[Harry]

No, you're not. You're a little sweet otter twink. You're an absolute play thing.

[Lev]

Not like, dude, they don't want. They don't want this.

[Harry]

You have what gay men want. No. No

[Lev]

gym.

[Francis]

They wanted different apples.

[Lev]

Act as they're not looking for. They look at me in disgust.

[Harry]

Everyone I know wants you. Women want you. I'm not kidding you. The number of women that came up to me at the show this weekend and we're like afterwards. And we're like, so how do I talk to this ass? How do I can you set me up with Harry? And would you say now I was like, go yourself.

[Tyler]

Good.

[Lev]

That's. That's what I told you.

[Harry]

Get out of here, you stupid whore. Yeah, he doesn't want you. He's better than you.

[Lev]

That's word.

[Tyler]

You have no problem talking to women that way. This old creep at Lifetime. You're like this paunchy Pale guy. Yeah. Oh, I just, you know, I mean, he was being nice.

[Francis]

That's how he gets away with it, honestly.

[Harry]

He also. He also, bro. Opened with the Crown, which was a show that I loved.

[Tyler]

I didn't even know what you were referencing. I was like. In my head, I was always like, this has got to be the same guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is a testament to me being right about the culture at Lifetime. If there's one guy. You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Francis]

He's a tourist.

[Tyler]

Like, if I can be like, oh, it's this. Oh, it's that guy. It's the one guy. This isn't a common occurrence at Lifetime. No. You know, I'm gonna, like, this will go out and my membership's gonna be canceled. Do you go pretty banned from the club.

[Harry]

Do you ever see the guy. That guy who hangs from the bars and does, like, cartwheels around?

[Tyler]

Oh, that's me. Yeah.

[Harry]

He's got an Instagram account.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I bring my trapeze set. Yeah. Swinging around.

[Francis]

Big trampoline.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Olympic size trampoline.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I burn my. Yeah. My clubs. I juggle stuff. I'm blowing fire.

[Francis]

That's so nice.

[Tyler]

Yeah. No, there's a guy that does what? He hangs from, like, monkey bars.

[Francis]

He.

[Harry]

He goes in the middle of. You know how the treadmills on the 23rd street lifetime are all facing each other and then there's a space in the middle, Unless they change it.

[Tyler]

I thought they were all kind of facing, like, 6th Avenue, but I don't know. I haven't been to that more than, like, a year, at least.

[Harry]

Probably when you come in, you go up the stairs, and then you go past the locker room, and then to the left, all the weights and stuff are to the right. Yeah. But to the left is where all the machines are. It's all the treadmills.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Harry]

So those treadmills, like, there's a. They're all facing each other, and that's where they do classes sometimes.

[Tyler]

Oh, okay.

[Harry]

And then in the middle of that, it's just this open space, and all the treadmills will be packed with people. And this guy treats it as his stage. And he's got an Instagram account. It's like, spider. He's got, like, a spider tattoo on his arm. And I'm not kidding you. He, like, does. He does these. He does cartwheels the whole time. You know, Bro, look, this.

[Francis]

I've seen.

[Lev]

I know.

[Harry]

Not making this up. Like, look up, Jim. Cartwheel. Like a spider or Something.

[Tyler]

Jim Cartwheel.

[Harry]

Spider.

[Tyler]

No, that's my full name, by the way.

[Harry]

Spider.

[Tyler]

When I meet guys in the sauna, I go, how you doing? Yeah, Cartwheel.

[Lev]

Spider.

[Tyler]

Jim Cartwheel.

[Francis]

It's a Slovenian name.

[Harry]

And he's got an Instagram account, and it's like. You know Instagram? Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know who also went to the 23rd Street.

[Harry]

That sounds like it. That looked like it. That one that you just had. That.

[Tyler]

This guy, 23rd street lifetime. Probably the most famous.

[Harry]

That's not it.

[Tyler]

Member of 23rd Street Lifetime. Daniel Penny.

[Francis]

No, he didn't.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he did.

[Francis]

No, that's where he trained.

[Tyler]

That's the first day he. He killed Michael Jackson. It said, they recount his day. And it said, I finished. I was either on his way to Lifetime. It's specifically cited. Either on his way or coming from the 23rd street lifetime.

[Francis]

So he just got a pump.

[Tyler]

Yeah. He had just gone to the gym.

[Francis]

He was feeling strong.

[Tyler]

Billie Jean is, you know, just.

[Harry]

I'm gonna find this for you, dude.

[Francis]

It's human nature. No way he went to that exact. Does he still go? Or has he been ran out of the city on a rail?

[Tyler]

I don't know. I think he's. Yeah, he's. They've sent him back to Israel. This guy off. Is gone. He's speaking Hebrew now. Yeah. Yeah.

[Lev]

Where he'll. He'll spend his remaining years in comfort.

[Francis]

Safest place to go. Safest place to do all that.

[Lev]

They're getting hit hard.

[Francis]

Israel.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're lighting up. Everything in the Middle east is Israel. Not Oman. Oman's doing all right.

[Francis]

Thank God.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I think probably because people forgot that that's a country that exists.

[Francis]

Oh, man.

[Tyler]

Even Iran is like, what's. Isn't there another Azerbaijan?

[Francis]

No, we got that Armenian.

[Tyler]

What's the one on the bottom? Yemen. We're friends with them. No, there's another one. Is there another one?

[Francis]

Oman.

[Tyler]

Right? Nah, we'll leave them alone.

[Francis]

Let them flex. Let them flourish. Yeah, See, anytime. Because I always saw that, like, Israel was. Or it seemed like Israel was doing bad, but then if you, like, zoomed in on the Tel Aviv Instagram of what's going on today in Tel Aviv. It was just people at, like, a Soul Cycle class.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

But I think about, like, imagine if. If New York City were being hit by those same, like, ballistic missiles. Like, if anything below Union Square. Just imagine a building got blown up below Union Square. I'll be like, damn. And then I would go to. I would. I'm gonna go to McDonald' after this.

[Francis]

You wouldn't get out of this on Instagram.

[Tyler]

No, I'm not even going to think about it.

[Lev]

That's. I think I would get.

[Tyler]

I would probably go down there to take a look.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Do you remember there was a building that exploded on Second Avenue and like.

[Francis]

Yes. A year ago, like right around now.

[Tyler]

No, I'm talking about in 2013. Major gas explosion in the building. Like half of it collapsed and I heard it and then I was like, oh, I'm just going to go see the building. That.

[Francis]

Damn, you're just an Umarel. You just checked it out.

[Tyler]

Like Italian 2014 might be accurate.

[Lev]

I guess it is. Like, I don't really know where I would go. There's not really anywhere to go. I would go to Francis's place upstate.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that has to be it. 7th Street.

[Lev]

And plan for that in case.

[Harry]

Yeah. We can hang out in the storage unit below.

[Lev]

Okay.

[Harry]

Just to make sure it's extra safe.

[Lev]

You can just hang out under the table.

[Tyler]

Yeah. That's crazy. So this blew out and then it blew up. Cars on the street.

[Francis]

Holy.

[Tyler]

It was like the ground floor and then they didn't have a place to put the car, so they just brought it around the block and it was sitting at like, like at. Was it like Aster place?

[Lev]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

This car that was like completely. It looked like a. Like a dinosaur chewed it up and

[Lev]

it was just like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it was pretty cool.

[Francis]

What the. How did the building blow up?

[Tyler]

It was something like an illegal gas tapping thing. Like there was a restaurant on the ground floor and they tapped the gas line for the apartments.

[Lev]

That's got to be like life in prison.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it was some shady. It was like a hunk. It was a Hungarian restaurant or it was Hungarian people that did it.

[Lev]

That was definitely something that they were like this. Surely this will be fine.

[Tyler]

But anyways, if this stuff was happening all the time, I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't change my schedule much. I might not take the train. I might walk one of the bridges back home. But.

[Francis]

But that's nice.

[Tyler]

Walk the bridge.

[Lev]

But what if they hit the bridge while you're walking about?

[Tyler]

Like even 9 11. It's like people were like, you know, wow, that's pretty crazy.

[Francis]

But also like, I'm ordering curry tonight.

[Tyler]

Yeah, right.

[Francis]

Yeah, exactly.

[Lev]

You're still door dashing.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Where the is this guy? Minutes.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

You know, people were left a review y. There was ash in my tacos.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Francis]

In my Turkish coffee.

[Harry]

Clearly the bag was not sealed properly.

[Lev]

Still hasn't been picked up. It's been 45 fucking minutes.

[Francis]

I mean, people were definitely ordering delivery on 911 that night.

[Lev]

I would be interested to see, like, to the scale now, because now every, like, everyone orders delivery every, like, all the time. Like, I'd be interested to see, like, what the. Like, it would be like, it's. While the attacks are happening, people would still be placed in there.

[Harry]

Their go to probably be a spike.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Dos Toros, you know, ordered last time.

[Francis]

Okay. So add a diet extra queso. I don't know how long this is going to be.

[Tyler]

That would be more of, like, a catastrophe in New York. Because if. Oh, seamless shutdown. Yeah. Then if there were, like, you know, ballistic misses hitting the city.

[Lev]

I try. When we got hit with that snow earlier in the year, I tried to order doordash. I didn't know it was like, super frowned upon to do that. But it came. It took like three hours.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

But it arrived.

[Tyler]

Yeah. No, that is like, a rude thing.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Lev]

People were saying, I found out on Twitter after that, that's like, you're not supposed to.

[Francis]

Someone's hydroplaning on a bicycle.

[Lev]

The way that I saw it in my head was like, they're already there. They're already out. It's like, may as well get. Someone's got to order food.

[Tyler]

I'm gonna piss again.

[Lev]

Yeah, that's good. We can also wrap it up if you want.

[Tyler]

I mean, whatever you guys want to do.

[Francis]

No, keep going if you want to.

[Harry]

Yeah. Go Pests. Go Pests.

[Francis]

I only tried to end it earlier because I thought you had to get your. Go to a doctor or something. You already went to a doctor.

[Lev]

Did you know that Fast Growing Trees is America's largest and most trusted online nursery with thousands of trees and plants over happy customers?

[Francis]

You know that I just ordered an orange tree for this studio to go right here.

[Lev]

Exactly. Get rid of this garbage.

[Harry]

I love trees.

[Lev]

I love trees.

[Harry]

I grew up among trees, of course, and I said to myself, someday I may have to live in New York City, but my goodness, if only there were a way to have some trees.

[Lev]

Exactly. And now we can. With fast growing trees.

[Tyler]

Say a tree.

[Francis]

You like an indoor tree.

[Harry]

Indoor tree.

An orange. You can't say orange tree, man, you

[Harry]

[Tyler]

That's like half the reason to drink all that water so you can piss.

[Francis]

It's so nice and it's. But his ear is pretty clear most of the time.

[Tyler]

Yeah. At this point now, I mean. Yes.

[Francis]

And then the more you drink, the stronger your stream gets. It looks like Blippi out of his ass. You just have a fire hose.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You try to get it where it's like just a little bit yellow.

[Francis]

Oh, you want it to Be yellow.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you want to be a little. It should be like a very light lemonade, I think is the ideal urine color.

[Francis]

And just. And nice and cloudy.

[Tyler]

If it's clear white, then you're drinking too much water.

[Francis]

That's got to be how yours is if you're drinking 150 just now.

[Tyler]

Yes, it was.

[Francis]

But have you ever heard that every 8 ounces of water you drink raises your metabolism by 3%?

[Tyler]

What does raise your metabolism mean?

[Francis]

That I don't know. Yeah, see, I just took it at face value and have been repeating that for about 15 years now. Yeah, but so how, like, what percent is your metabolism being raised?

[Tyler]

I don't know, because I keep getting fatter, so I don't know. Something's slowing down.

[Francis]

It's not working.

[Tyler]

I don't think so. Yeah. The water does not help me. I mean, maybe I'd be in much worse shape if I wasn't drinking.

[Francis]

Yeah, imagine if you're just fat, as if you're.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

You weren't touching 150 ounces a day.

[Tyler]

Day. Yeah, that'd be bad. I should clean up my diet, too. Maybe I'll have like a salad today or something.

[Francis]

Nah, but it would.

[Tyler]

Or take the train out the Flushing and go to Chinese buffet.

[Francis]

That would be so nice.

[Tyler]

The two options, I'd say.

[Francis]

What. What's your Chinese spot in the city? Do you ever go back to Chinatown for some Chinese?

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'll go to Joe's Shanghai, I guess probably that's either Joe's Shanghai or there's a place. I can't remember the name of it, but it's 100 Mott street and they have pretty good soup dumplings. And it's not as slam. Joe's Shanghai is obviously. It's always. There's a line outside as a madhouse,

[Francis]

but it's kind of nice to wait in line if you know it's going to be.

[Tyler]

Yeah. And then the one across the street that's basically the same rest. They have the same kitchen as Joe's Ginger. It's like right around on Pell or something. Yeah. This place. This is. This place is pretty good. I don't know.

[Francis]

Oh, is that the place that the.

[Tyler]

That.

[Francis]

That we. Family Pharmacy plus Corp. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Right. Yeah. Yeah. I go in there and I eat Flintstones vitamins and stuff.

[Francis]

Yeah. Just have some dust.

[Tyler]

It's like smothered in dates. Shanghai Cafe or something. I've only ever. Because when I lived in Chinatown, I started going there and like. Because you're right on the street like I'm looking in, I never. I see the sign is up here.

[Francis]

So you're just walking in.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I would just walk in. I just kind of know where it is.

[Francis]

Is the dumbest thing you could do is go to like a Michelin place in, in Chinatown.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

You go walk into some bullshit place and they have some great fresh ass duck.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. And then. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of good places there. Flushing has the crazy stuff though.

[Francis]

I mean they have every cuisine, not just the Chinese.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but if you haven't been to Flushing, you should go. It's crazy because it's like they call this Chinatown, but you go to Flushing and it's like China. It's like basically China.

[Francis]

Not even the town, it's just full on China.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's. It's like, it's. It's much bigger. And then it feel very Chinese. It's like very matter of factly Chinese. Rather than being a place where you can go see Chinese.

[Francis]

Yeah, like vaguely like. Because the like Chinatown is like. It's like. It feels like Europe. Honestly. It's like European streets like kind of like intersecting with each other. Not like a place where you could buy some watermelons with some counterfeit bills. Like the real. Like the real. Yeah, I need to get out to Flushing.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Flushing's cool. There's a buffet that's in like a mall there that's like. I mean, it just feels so Chinese. You don't feel like you're in America. It's just set up.

[Francis]

That's what I'm after for sure.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's like a banquet hall. I think it might be called Royal Banquet hall or something. They have a lady that goes by with a cart and you can just pick up like pig anus off the cart.

[Francis]

Oh, they come by like a train.

[Lev]

I've only been to Flushing once and it was to go to Micro Center.

[Tyler]

Hell yeah.

[Francis]

Great.

[Lev]

Micro center in Flushing.

[Tyler]

They got one in Sunset park. That's probably close in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lev]

I haven't been to that one.

[Tyler]

I was just there the other day.

[Lev]

Really?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

What were you picking up?

[Tyler]

I had to take a phone call while I was driving, so I parked and then I got in the Micro center and I walked around doing one of my power calls.

[Lev]

It's a great place to walk around.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Lev]

That didn't give you the itch to build a PC?

[Tyler]

No. Yeah. I've never had the desire to build a PC.

[Lev]

Oh, you got to.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

You would love it.

[Tyler]

No. What I like looking at. At micro center is. I like looking at all the various, like, laptop bags and stuff.

[Lev]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

And I'm like, what if I was like an attorney? I have ye suitcase and people are like, oh, what is that? Are you like? No, it's. I have a laptop.

[Lev]

I have like a. I have like a Samsonite that I like, carry around and I have inside of it is like my gaming laptop.

[Tyler]

Are you on your way to defend yourself in family court?

[Lev]

No, no. This is in case I have any free time.

[Tyler]

I'm a typist. I'm a laptop typist.

[Francis]

The secretary taking those 180 words a minute.

[Lev]

It's nice. It's nice boarding the plane. Like boarding a plane with a, with a. With a briefcase. People think you're doing.

[Tyler]

You do laptop gaming.

[Lev]

I have a gaming laptop.

[Tyler]

Oh, interesting.

[Harry]

But he doesn't use it for that.

[Lev]

But I don't really use it for that. I just use his laptop.

[Tyler]

I got the PlayStation portal.

[Lev]

Oh, yeah?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Do you like it?

[Tyler]

No.

[Lev]

Now it's pretty.

[Tyler]

PlayStation games are like made for the TV.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Trying to play it like. And then also it's like.

[Lev]

It's also just.

[Tyler]

It's the same feeling as the controller, but it's spread out, which is weird. Yeah.

[Harry]

It's got a Steampunk.

[Lev]

No, it's a. I have like, you know, like a Steam deck.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

I have like a Rog ally, which is like the same thing.

[Tyler]

Well, they have one that's an.

[Lev]

Yeah, yeah, that's like what I have.

[Tyler]

An Xbox is done.

[Lev]

Yeah, they're done. Their curtains.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Getting rid of Xbox, it just doesn't. Nobody plays Xbox and they don't have any ideas for how to make Xbox any better than the PlayStation.

[Harry]

Damn.

[Tyler]

And I thought it can't compete with

[Lev]

the Switch, so it's just not as good as the Xbox. As the PlayStation. Like the like everything about it, like the actual. Like, like hardware's worse.

[Francis]

What's Xbox? Microsoft.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

So there. It's not like it's changing anything.

[Lev]

Well, also, Microsoft is all PCs, unless you don't use Microsoft, which is like nobody. But. So like a lot of people that would be playing on Xbox, they play. They still. You play Xbox on PC, but there's

[Francis]

no loss of industry because of this. No small children will be out of jobs.

[Lev]

It's a good question, really. Depends on what that next gen console's gonna look like.

[Tyler]

Are they making another one?

[Lev]

No, I think they're. I think the plan for consoles going forward is they're like, they're gonna be

[Tyler]

like PCs, so they're gonna make another Xbox. What was the thing that just came out? The Steam box.

[Lev]

This is the. Yeah, but I don't think it ever actually released.

[Tyler]

Oh, okay.

[Harry]

That's the Steampunk.

[Lev]

That's the same brand, but they were making, like a console, but it was also like a PC, like a mini PC.

[Harry]

What are steampunks? Why do I keep saying that?

[Lev]

Steampunk is.

[Tyler]

Those are guys that, like, are really

[Francis]

into, like, goggles and top hats.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

Oh, that's not what you have.

[Tyler]

It's an aesthetic.

[Francis]

No, it's like. Yeah, it's like if, like the 1920s were like. I don't know, it's like Men in Black or.

[Tyler]

Or.

[Francis]

No, the other one. Wild, Wild west aesthetic.

[Harry]

That's what that is.

[Tyler]

Yeah. There. When I lived in Austin, all my friends worked at a bar that wasn't necessarily a steampunk bar, but, like, it was like, one of the first places that had, like, brass fixtures and stuff. And you get your cocktail in a mason jar.

[Francis]

For a while, that became the only aesthetic.

[Tyler]

It was called east side Showroom, I think. I don't know if it's still there in Austin.

[Harry]

Are you able to take off a panel of light switches and replace it with a different panel of light switches?

[Tyler]

You mean like just a light switch?

[Harry]

Yeah, the panel that has the switches, you take that off.

[Tyler]

I'd like to put a dimmer switch in or something. Yeah, I mean, I could do that.

[Harry]

You can do that?

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

You know your way around.

[Tyler]

But I'm not your super. The follow up question is, come do work on my apartment. The answer is absolutely not.

[Harry]

I would never. I would have you over for a

[Lev]

coffee and then maybe a light switch.

[Harry]

Okay, but. But. And take a look at this light. That is the Trojan horse. And helping me switch my lights. I just know. I just. You know, I'm obviously gonna hire an electrician to do this, but I was wondering if that's just such a basic

[Tyler]

task, you could probably handle that yourself pretty easily.

[Harry]

I'm assuming you need to.

[Lev]

He doesn't know how to do like. Like that you're about to be.

[Francis]

So you're about to be like something you can't do.

[Lev]

Yeah, he's not. He's not technically.

[Harry]

I'm not that technical.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I mean, watch a YouTube video. I'm sure you'd have the confidence to do that.

[Harry]

Yeah. I mean, there's weird things that I am. I can be technical on. Like, I would Say cooking. I'm pretty technical.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Just following instructions.

[Tyler]

I'm terrible. I'm terrible at cooking because that's what I do is I'll follow instructions and I can make food from a recipe, and then when I eat it, it tastes like all the individual elements of, like. I don't understand how that happens, but, yeah, it's like I have, like, the recipe in my mouth rather than the fucking meal.

[Harry]

No, I can. I could. I know now from just experience how I could, like, make a nice marinade for a chicken.

[Tyler]

That's tough. It's really hard to get chicken to taste good.

[Francis]

Is it? I feel like you just have to. If you just put oil and butter on it.

[Tyler]

Well, that. But then it's. But then. Yeah, but it just. It still tastes like chicken. Like, I can't get. I don't know how to marinate chicken so that the chicken tastes like something rather than just being chicken.

[Francis]

Like rosemary.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Chicken with something on top of it.

[Francis]

Saffron or some.

[Lev]

Even when I put stuff on top of it, I feel like I cook it and just goes away.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Like, I'll put, like. I've tried to make like, like buffalo, like, wing chicken so many times, and at the end of it, it's just like, chicken with, like, a little bit of, like, an orange.

[Tyler]

Literally, the only thing I can make good is. Is salmon.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Salmon's, like, the easiest thing to make. Yeah.

[Francis]

How are you doing it?

[Tyler]

Well, recently, I got an air fr. What I. I did a couple months ago is I went to that. Is it Wegmans in Navy Yard?

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I got the giant fillet they have there, and then I cut it all up. And then. Yeah, I'll just do, like, a simple, like, just soy sauce and some citrus or something. Nice. And then marinate. Yeah. Like, cut the fillets and then wrap them in freezer paper and just pop them in the freezer. And then nine minutes in the air fryer. Fryer from frozen. They're like, real crispy on the outside and still. Still nice.

[Francis]

The air fryer doesn't stink up your work or your living space either. Like a. Like a cast iron.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. What I used to do is I would do that. I would put, like.

[Harry]

If I.

[Tyler]

If you want to sear salmon, put the cast iron in the broiler and get a piping hot while leaving the stove on high. And then just drop the. Drop the salmon.

[Francis]

That's sick.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Smoke up the whole apartment.

[Harry]

What, do you live near the Navy Yard?

[Tyler]

No, I live in Bed Stuy oh,

[Harry]

why do you go to that one?

[Tyler]

There isn't another one.

[Harry]

That's the only Wegmans in Brooklyn that I know of.

[Tyler]

And I only say I go there because they have that big fillet of salmon. If I, you know, I did that a while ago. I mean, they sell salmon in my grocery store, but it's like, you know,

[Francis]

a regular, just little nub of three

[Tyler]

quarter pound, you know, filet.

[Lev]

You still have that salmon? Did that guy ever end up sending you that salmon?

[Harry]

I ate it all.

[Lev]

Was it good?

[Harry]

Yeah, it was great.

[Francis]

How much did he send you?

[Harry]

Pounds.

[Tyler]

Was it like a fisherman that sent it to you?

[Lev]

Yeah, from like Alaska.

[Tyler]

Oh, interesting.

[Harry]

Yeah, I, I source wild game from

[Francis]

our listeners and like electrical help.

[Harry]

I ate a bear. I had.

[Lev]

You're not hiring an electrician.

[Francis]

That's why he's like honey potting someone into.

[Lev]

I said you're not hiring an electrician.

[Harry]

What do you mean?

[Lev]

Mean you're gonna have one of our listeners. I don't, your.

[Harry]

With respect to our listeners, I don't know that.

[Tyler]

What are you trying to do? Just put in a dimmer switch?

[Harry]

Is that. I want to replace a bunch of the, the panels that I have because they're all just white plastic and they look like.

[Tyler]

Oh, so you just want to change the panel itself.

[Harry]

In order to do that you gotta. And the switches. So to do that you're gonna have to.

[Tyler]

Oh, you. What do you mean? You want to change this with like the color of the switches?

[Harry]

So the, the panel? Yeah.

[Lev]

Is that your water?

[Harry]

No.

[Tyler]

You want to replace the plastic cover

[Harry]

as well as the switches that are inside the plastic cover with like commemorative

[Tyler]

switches or decorative, like. Yeah, that's all I've ever seen. I've seen like bicentennial celebratory like, like switch cover.

[Francis]

Got like a Met one?

[Tyler]

I don't, I mean, is there a light switch in here? They all kind of look the same.

[Harry]

I don't know what I want to do. Like a brass plate or a washed steel plate with maybe those round knobs for the dimmer. Like you can actually turn around knob. You've seen those nice, nice panels. You can get them on Etsy.

[Tyler]

No, I haven't seen them.

[Francis]

But you rent.

[Harry]

I'm talking about my place.

[Francis]

Oh, upstate. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lev]

Oh, I see. So why don't you just have, like, why don't you just paint over them?

[Francis]

Brass. Paint it brown.

[Harry]

Spray paint. Paint over the plastic ones. Well, I don't know. I would imagine that would make the switch stick.

[Tyler]

You should get rid of all the electricity and go gas. Get gas lamps.

[Harry]

I would, but we had a camp up on Lake Ontario or Huron. I can never fucking remember. It's in Ontario. And maybe it's Lake Superior. Honestly, I can never fucking remember. And all the lamps were gas. And I had one of my childhood friends come and hang out with me, and he ended up having a seizure.

[Tyler]

Oh, because of gas.

[Harry]

I guess I never figured out why.

[Tyler]

It's crazy that they ever did gas lights in. In homes. Like, because it just seems so dangerous.

[Lev]

Yeah, same.

[Francis]

They're in Brooklyn Heights. There's still gas lamps, like, dotting the streets.

[Harry]

Yeah, it's amazing. It's so.

[Francis]

So that means that there's gas running. Running the ground right there. It's insane. That's probably how that house blew up.

[Lev]

It's crazy. Did your boy, like, have seizures a lot before that?

[Harry]

No, he never had one, which makes it way worse. People who have epilepsy who have seizures, no big deal. It's like a squirter.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah, but people who don't have epilepsy and have a seizure, that's a problem.

[Francis]

First time. It's, like, worth calling your mom about.

[Lev]

Yeah, that's tough. That's gotta be tough.

[Tyler]

I was at dinner one time, and the waiter, like, came up and talked to us. Or, like, you guys good with everything? You know, like, need anything else, let me know. You know, we're like, yeah, we're good. He's like, okay. He took, like, two steps away and then went. Just fell back. Smashes his head on, like, a bench. And he's, like, seizing. And there was, like. No, there was, like, maybe one or two other people in the. And it was, like, a bar that had seating also. And so I'm like, oh, you know, like, I go over the guy and then I go to tell the bartender. I'm like, hey, this guy. I don't know what's going on here, but your waiter's having a seizure. And he's like, oh, yeah. You know, like, he's like, yeah, he's got epilepsy or whatever. And, you know.

[Harry]

Yeah, you're supposed to just protect them from hitting their head.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but he did hit his head.

[Harry]

Yeah. That's bad.

[Francis]

Yeah, that happened to me pretty much

[Lev]

on their own after that.

[Francis]

A lady, like, started, like, having a seizure, and at first she was, like, with her old parents, and her dad was trying to be like, it's fine, she's fine. Like, she does this all the time. And it started getting really bad. So we like, like almost caught her and then called 911. And then as they're on their way out, the guy like, he gave us $20 for like calling 91 1. He was like, let me buy you dessert. And just gave us. Gave us cash at the table. 20 bucks.

[Lev]

It's like, what do you get? One ice cream cone.

[Francis]

We saved her life.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

I should have shaken him down.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

That's all he gave me. It was in.

[Lev]

Are you not. Aren't you. Are you not supposed to. To put something in the mouth? Wasn't that like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you're not supposed to put your penis.

[Lev]

So you bite. So you don't bite your tongue.

[Francis]

You don't bite your cow.

[Lev]

Don't even come.

[Tyler]

I don't think. Yeah, you're not supposed to that mother anymore. Yeah.

[Harry]

They don't last that long. So.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

You run the risk of them waking up to being.

[Francis]

You have to come really fast.

[Harry]

Yeah, right.

[Lev]

I thought you were supposed to like throw your wall like the wallet in their mouth.

[Tyler]

That's back when everybody had a big wallet instead of a ridge wallet.

[Francis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lev]

Ridge.

[Harry]

My teeth are old.

[Tyler]

Broken.

[Harry]

Broken.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Harry]

You were chomping down at my metal wallet. What's the matter with you? There was a kid in my middle school who had epilepsy and he was in jazz band with me. And I remember one day he. He slumped out of his chair and started seizing and having a seizure.

[Tyler]

And people are like, wow, this is like Miles Davis. Yeah.

[Harry]

And. And our teacher, the teachers of that he had were informed on what to do. And our jazz teachers teacher kind of went over and held him. And then the girl who played the drums was like freaking out. She was like, this one's going on way longer than they normally do. And I. When he came to, I remember. I remember someone was like, danny, Danny, are you okay? He's like, yeah, I didn't take my medicine today. And I remember being like, why not?

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Harry]

Because he. If he didn't take his medicine, he would have a seizure, period. It was a one to one thing.

[Tyler]

It's crazy they ever figured out that what the medicine is or what a seizure is. I mean, that's nuts.

[Francis]

Yeah. It's truly insane.

[Tyler]

Because if I was. If you put me throughout the thousands of years of history that people were having seizures, I'd be like, yeah, I have no idea what that is or what we do about it.

[Harry]

We're working on other stuff and it's.

[Tyler]

There's no way we're going to figure it out.

[Harry]

We Got no shot on this one.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Well, let's figure out airplanes or something.

[Francis]

We're gonna let him go? What?

[Lev]

Yeah. Not taking the medicine is pretty insane.

[Francis]

Or maybe it's nice. They're like, might be. Or maybe, like, see something.

[Tyler]

Is that the Joe Rogan kettlebell?

[Lev]

It is.

[Francis]

It's a good eye, my man.

[Tyler]

But is that his head?

[Lev]

It is, yeah.

[Tyler]

Is his head actually that small?

[Francis]

Mm. That was cast by his head.

[Lev]

I bought that for $400 because I thought it would be funny to put it on the table. And we can't have it on the table because it auto focuses on his face.

[Tyler]

Oh, interesting.

[Francis]

We just have for, like, 10 episodes because Joe Rogan was dead center with the 55 pound kettlebell. You snatching kettlebells in the gym at all?

[Tyler]

Me? No. I've never done a single kettlebell workout, I think, ever in my life.

[Harry]

I actually did the Rogan kettlebell workout on Saturday.

[Lev]

Really?

[Francis]

What the is that?

[Harry]

It's the one. I mean, I saw a clip posted of it, so I did it. But he warms up with 20 air squats, 20 push ups. Just five sets of that. Then he does. Does 10 swings with each arm. Three sets. Then he does 10 like, thrusters, like, cleans into pushes.

[Francis]

There you go.

[Harry]

Three sets. Yeah, this is it. Then windmills, then the renegade rose. The renegade rows were nice.

[Francis]

What is a windmill? Yeah.

[Lev]

What's a whipping?

[Francis]

A kettlebell.

[Harry]

It's like you have it overhead and you just, like, lean over to the side and then come back up. It's like a trunk rotation type thing. Get back, Coral, all that.

[Francis]

My shoulder popped out of the socket at the gym this week. No, I was like a freeway.

[Tyler]

You have to, like, put it back in.

[Francis]

I had to, like. I have to, like, roll. I have to, like, let it dangle and then, like, roll it back in. Oh, I just, like, dropped it as someone's getting, like, a work. It's like our. My building's gym. It's like an old lady getting a class. And I just, like, throw the weights down. It was. So did you keep working out after?

[Lev]

You just go right home?

[Francis]

Oh, I got right back to it.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Yeah. Same weights. It was so humbling.

[Tyler]

I wouldn't know what to do if my arm came out of the socket.

[Francis]

It happens, like, intermittently to my right arm.

[Lev]

I've had that happen to my knee twice when I was, like, sitting with my legs cross. Like, I was. I was like, sitting. I was, like, sitting with, like, my leg. It was. I was young and My leg was like under my leg and like fully just popped out.

[Harry]

Out.

[Lev]

Couldn't move it. And then the only thing I had to do was pretty much like hold it and then just drop it and it just.

[Francis]

What? What?

[Lev]

Snap back into place.

[Francis]

I don't know what happened.

[Lev]

I don't know, but it was scary.

[Francis]

[Tyler]

[Harry]

Yeah. I mean, respectfully, we've been recording so long, I got. Really?

[Francis]

You need. Need some.

[Tyler]

Do I need some Nutella? No, I'm okay. I'm good.

[Lev]

Yeah, we can get you something.

[Francis]

We'll run and get you some Nutella.

[Tyler]

All right. I'm. I'm already. It's lunch time. I'm thinking about.

[Harry]

You're not having water for lunch.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, I will. I have a lot There was.

[Harry]

Did you ever read Black Boy by Richard Wright?

[Tyler]

No, but I've said it a lot.

[Harry]

I remember distinctly a passage from that book. When he was growing up in Memphis, they were so poor that he never had food. And they learned that if they went to the faucet of the hose and power, like, injected water down their gullets at a high volume, it would relieve the hunger in their stomach for a little bit because it would fill them so quickly.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

And I never forgot that. I was like, oh, I can not eat by drinking water really quickly from a hose. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lev]

That's got to be, like, pretty brutal.

[Harry]

Yeah. His life wasn't great.

[Lev]

Starving. So your only option is like, all right, time to.

[Francis]

I'm going to power wash my throat.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

The other thing I remember from that book vividly was that when he was, like, 7 years old, he wandered into a bar and someone. Someone has a joke, like an adult bought him a drink. And then he started, like. He became like this kid that would go to the bar and, like, get drunk.

[Lev]

It was because he was so hungry and.

[Harry]

And they. That he was an alcoholic at 7 years old. And it was, like, entertaining to the patrons who were there to, like, get this 7 year old.

[Francis]

12 years of drunk.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Francis]

That's nasty. How did he get out of it? How did he get. How did he get right?

[Harry]

I don't know. I don't remember.

[Lev]

I mean, to rehab when he was 8.

[Harry]

Yeah, he wrote. He wrote a lot of good books, though. Richard Wright. What else did he write? He's a famous author.

[Tyler]

Black teenager. Black man. Black grandpa. Black grandpa, too.

[Francis]

In Knoxville.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Harry]

Native Son. That's his famous one.

[Francis]

Black Grandpa.

[Lev]

Native Boy. Black boy again. Outside.

[Francis]

Two black, two boy.

[Harry]

12 million years a slave.

[Lev]

12 million years. It's a sci fi.

[Tyler]

Two black, two boys. That'd be great.

[Francis]

It's an absolute classic.

[Harry]

Too black. Too furious.

[Francis]

All right, all right. There it is.

[Harry]

That'll do.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Harry]

Yeah, we'll do. We'll do it there.

[Lev]

Well, thanks for coming.

[Tyler]

Thanks for having me.

[Harry]

Yeah, appreciate it.

[Lev]

Appreciate it.

[Tyler]

It's good hang. Hopefully it's not raining when I leave. Hopefully.

[Francis]

I think that it was supposed to end at 10.

[Harry]

Hey, you know, if you got nothing going on, you can just join the podcast.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Harry]

Yeah, you can do it.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Harry]

We'll keep that mic.

[Tyler]

I hear they're. They're hiring a third mic on Legion of Skanks.

[Lev]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

Dave Smith's been sent to prison.

[Francis]

Benjamin Netanyahu shouldn't have said all that. Who's. Who's gonna get a column?

[Lev]

Lev.

[Francis]

Lev.

[Lev]

Lev wants it.

[Francis]

Does he?

[Lev]

I have no clue.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Lev doesn't want it. It's got to be somebody fun. It's got to be some. Yeah.

[Francis]

Like a.

[Tyler]

Who would. Who would be good to replace Dave on there?

[Francis]

Ms. Rachel probably would crush it.

[Tyler]

Ms. Rachel would be good.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Or Tucker Talk.

[Lev]

Yeah, Talk would be great.

[Tyler]

On Legion of Sk Is the third host of Legion of Skank stuffer Carlson.

[Lev]

That laugh. His laugh is. It's so good. I watched, like, some interview that he did with Mike Huckabee, and, like, he does the laugh. Like, even in those interviews, just randomly,

[Tyler]

he'll hit the laugh and. Yeah, well, I saw that interview because, like, Huckabee's answering. These answers are insane.

[Lev]

Yeah. They make no sense.

[Tyler]

Tucker be like, but what if Israel killed every single American? And Huckabee. Like, I think that's good if they want to, because it says in the Bible that they can.

[Lev]

I think President Donald Trump has done the more for Israel than any other president has before.

[Francis]

That's what he was saying.

[Lev]

That's what he said. He just says that all constantly. That guy's whole. That guy's crazy.

[Francis]

Huckabee.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Him and Lindsey Graham being the two dudes that beat the drum. Two clearly gay men.

[Lev]

And then the video of Huckabee walking around with Netanyahu.

[Francis]

Yahoo.

[Lev]

You think he's dead?

[Tyler]

No, I don't think he's dead. He'll probably be the last guy to die.

[Lev]

Yeah, that's probably true.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Probably tough to get.

[Tyler]

No, that would. That has. That would have to be a suicide in the bunker situation.

[Lev]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You're not going to. You're not going to catch him walking around somewhere with a ballistic missile.

[Lev]

The video of the. The. The arm, the sleeve is that way

[Tyler]

that people, like, analyzing his videos.

[Lev]

They're analyzing everything. Yeah.

[Tyler]

The thing is, you can See, every AI video I've seen. Seen. The more you see AI, the more exposed you are to these AI videos, the more you recognize what an AI video is. Yeah. So, like, the technology people are like, oh, in six months, can you imagine how good this is going to be? It's like, well, in six months we'll be exposed to that whole process. So, like, the barrier will get better. Our ability to perceive AI videos will increase at the same speed as the technology or faster than it. So I don't think we're ever going to get to a point where you, like, really can't. Really can't fucking tell. They're always going to have some kind of like, tell.

[Lev]

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

[Tyler]

I haven't been tricked by an AI video yet. Not once.

[Lev]

I don't think so. The audio is pretty. The big tell, too. Like the voices is just so one dimensional.

[Tyler]

Well, it's also a lot of them because there's a lot that are now because of the war. They're like, war stuff.

[Lev]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

And the physics are always wrong. Right. They'll be like, look, television's getting blown up by like 500 missiles and they're all moving at the wrong speed.

[Francis]

And the perspective of the camera is always wrong too. Like the camera will be like approaching it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Francis]

Shooting this.

[Lev]

Or they'll. They'll just straight up use videos from like, battlefield. And they'll be like, this is. This is Tel Aviv right now. And it'll be. People will be like, yeah, it is. Like they believe it.

[Tyler]

Yeah. When you see like, like a fighter being chased by stuff.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

But then it's like whoever's filming it is like rapidly changing. Zoom on, in and out.

[Francis]

They have the script. They had that woman that was walking with Trump in all the pictures who wound up being obviously AI. Like the hot soldier woman.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Oh, really?

[Francis]

Did you see her?

[Tyler]

I only saw that after I saw the headline. That. That's AI.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I never saw it. When people.

[Francis]

I never saw. Yeah. People getting warning for this. Hot. To her credit, she was hot as she was leggy. Tyler, can you pull up this hot soap?

[Tyler]

Can you pull up.

[Lev]

But she doesn't exist.

[Tyler]

Yeah, but she's dressed like the lady in Down Periscope where she's like in slutty army clothes.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Like a Halloween costume.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Francis]

It's like, what? AI. AI soldier woman with truck Trump. She just is hot. And I don't. I don't even know who was trying to push it.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Thousands have been swooned by this and

[Tyler]

then she's like a four star general. Yeah. She's 24 years old and she's in Korea.

[Lev]

Hilarious.

[Francis]

All the stripes on her arm.

[Lev]

People were.

[Francis]

People were getting super horny for her.

[Lev]

Put this out.

[Francis]

I think us.

[Lev]

I think the U.S. i know they do.

[Francis]

You bomb America? This is who you're bombing?

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lev]

You don't want to bomb this hot blonde.

[Francis]

All right, all right.

[Tyler]

Okay. Well, good for that lady for not being real.

[Francis]

All right.

[Tyler]

For not existing.

[Lev]

Thank you for listening. We will be back next week. Next week.

[Harry]

Yeah.

[Lev]

Goodbye.

[Tyler]
