Episode Overview

This episode of Son of a Boy Dad brings Dana Beers to the mic for a free-flowing, relentlessly self-deprecating, and delightfully irreverent conversation. Broadcasting from Chicago, the crew reminisces about the early days of the show, explores themes of anxiety, masculinity, and absurd life goals, and delivers comic takes on everything from catching foul balls to feeding snakes live mice. The recurring focus is on navigating adulthood and building identity, often through the lens of vulnerability, wrestling with self-image, and—naturally—food.

[10:13–12:45]

• Rone and Dana dissect the effects (or lack thereof) of beta blockers for stage/fear anxiety.

---

4. Bravo TV, Couples Viewing, and ‘Sports Guilt’

[12:45–15:04]

• The guys sheepishly admit to watching “Summer House” and “Real Housewives,” usually “for the wife.”
• They discuss the implicit gender rules of what constitutes ‘men’s’ and ‘women’s’ TV, and how sports viewing influences which shows couples pick together.

---

5. Catching Foul Balls: A Modern Masculine Quest

[16:02–19:19]

• Dana’s “#1 goal in life” is to catch a foul ball at a game—with a beer in hand.
• The rules of ball-gifting etiquette (kids, women), the viral potential if caught on camera, and cultural differences (Korea, South Korea’s suicide rates) highlight the competitive and ritualistic aspects of this male rite of passage.

---

7. School & High School Memories: Spirit Week, Twin Day, Superlatives

[25:18–32:25]

• The group recounts tales of misinterpreted high school dress code days, twin day anxiety, dance offs, and being “most outspoken”—often veering into personal identity territory.

Dana Beers [30:19]: “Yeah, most outspoken.”
“It was mostly because I raised a stink about the fact our biology teacher wouldn’t teach evolution…”

• Stories about failed class projects, teachers, and high school politics add color and relatability.

---

8. Racism, Censorship, and ‘Jerome’

[32:25–35:36]

• Dana tells a story of naming a character Jerome in a school project, leading a teacher to call him racist—ironically, highlighting misplaced assumptions.
• The conversation spirals into the origin of the name Jerome and a surprise reveal: Jerry Seinfeld’s real name.

Francis [35:14]: “Jerry Seinfeld’s real name is Jerome. His legal first name is Jerome.”

---

9. Life in New York vs. Chicago (and Beyond)

[49:07–51:51]

---

10. Roommate Tales: The Girl and the Lizard

[50:25–54:11]

• Dana recounts a comic-awkward living situation with a female roommate and her pet lizard after her boyfriend “moved to France.”

---

11. On Snakes, Feeding Mice, and Childhood Science

[54:11–59:02]

Francis [57:13]: "My fourth and fifth grade teacher... had snakes, and every two weeks they would do the feedings, and we would watch it at school. And I thought that was cool."

---

12. Masculinity & Self-Image: “Fake Dumb Guy”/“Peak Hotness”

[41:50–44:48]

• The tension between Dana’s “dumb guy” persona and actual intelligence emerges; the hosts agree that being “fake dumb” is preferable to “fake smart.”
• An extended riff on being the “hottest guy at Hingham High” versus current status—interrupted by a charley horse—laments faded glory and the pressure on men to maintain peak form.

---

13. Food as Identity: Top Ten Foods and the Buffalo Chicken Calzone

[62:13–65:46]

• Dana rattles off his top ten foods—ranging from tikka masala to Cinnabons, with #2 holding a place-of-origin clarification: “buffalo chicken calzone from a Greek place in Massachusetts.”
• The crew reveres the power of Cinnabon and discusses the value of regional American food quirks.

Guest [63:46]: “Number two is buffalo chicken calzone from like a Greek style place in Massachusetts and number one is cinnamon buns…”

14. Vulnerability Check: Divorce and Losing Pets

[69:12–69:46]

Final Thoughts & Episode Tone

This episode is classic Barstool: fast-paced, irreverent, and full of smart stupidity. Beneath the jokes about sex, sports, and food, the hosts probe topics about vulnerability, self-image, and masculinity in modern life. There’s a constant undercurrent of self-awareness—about their content, roles, and personas—which brings a meta, almost confessional vibe. The humor remains sharp, sometimes dark, never shying away from the uncomfortable.

Fans and newcomers alike will find this episode a perfect snapshot of Son of a Boy Dad’s blend of humor, life advice (satirical as it may be), and bromantic chaos.

[Francis]

All right.

[Ronan]

All righty. Welcome back to the Son of a Boy dad podcast. We are here live in Chicago with Dana Beers. Hello.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Hey, boys.

[Francis]

Dana.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Honored to get. Honored to get the call up for this.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, we love.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You guys are crushing it, dude.

[Ronan]

Well, we know that, but.

[Francis]

That's obvious, bro. But do you remember your last appearance? What? The time of year, the duration, and the drink.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It was around Thanksgiving or Christmas, probably Christmas. And there was a brown liquor and milk.

[Ronan]

Eggnog.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Eggnog.

[Dana Beers]

Eggnog.

[Ronan]

Not milk.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Same.

[Ronan]

Or was it milk?

[Dana Beers]

No, it was eggnog.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I knew it was something creamy.

[Francis]

It is milk.

[Ronan]

Similar.

[Francis]

It basically is milk. And we had you on for how many minutes?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

At least 8.

[Ronan]

Probably between 8 to 10 at most.

[Francis]

10. You stayed at most.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You guys have come a long way since then.

[Francis]

Thanks to you. Honestly.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, honestly.

[Francis]

This is our. Our big thank you to you. Finally.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I got you, dude.

[Ronan]

That episode really set us over the edge.

[Francis]

That was the one.

[Ronan]

Took us to that next level that we were looking to get to.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Talked about. We were just talking about, like, I

[Ronan]

don't know what we talked about on the podcast yesterday, let alone. Yeah, I forget how we started today. I'm already lost.

[Francis]

No, we miss you like crazy, though. I know that Francis always gets a. A crack at you with his. With his teaching series.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, it's nice to. It's weird because, like, my wife is from New York, so we plan some trips there every now and then, but I would like to still come back and film more and do stuff with Franny, but it just. It hasn't happened as much as we had hoped.

[Dana Beers]

No. But, you know, it's okay. We try. We both believe in it. We enjoy working together. I'm trying to get him to come back to New York so that we can record and then I can take him to play some golf, but he doesn't want to do it. He says he's not good enough.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, I. When I'm good, I'm good, but I have a mental. I'm dealing with a mental problem on the golf course right now, and it's.

[Ronan]

What's the issue?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yips.

[Ronan]

Yips. Where's the ball going?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Just, like, everywhere. It started with my wedges, and it would be like a 60 degree. I would take a normal swing and it would just go, like, on the ground. And then it got so bad that it was, like, onto my irons, and so it got to the point where I just didn't want to play golf anymore. And so I'm slowly trying to get back in. But the word. The thing I don't want to do is go to a sick course with Francis and hit ground balls for three hours.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, that would be. That would be annoying. But. And I. I mean this. 100 sincerely. The best cure for the yips is drinking.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

I know.

[Dana Beers]

You just.

[Francis]

But he just refuses to do that. Yeah, I know. But I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna try that.

[Dana Beers]

Dana. Dana, you should have some drinks. And then it'll quiet the. The voices of worry in your head and you'll just sort of let your old athletic swing take over your muscle memory.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

And I've been hitting the sim a little bit. It's been getting.

[Ronan]

Yeah. How's the sim going?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I was a lot better. A lot better.

[Ronan]

So you're straight on the sim, but once you get out to the course.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I haven't played on a course since October, so I don't want to be the first time I hop back in to be embarrassing myself with Francis.

[Francis]

I don't think you're gonna embarrass yourself. I think that you underestimate yourself and downplay yourself. And I think you're gonna wind up being fine.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Those guys are so cool over there. Francis's friends.

[Dana Beers]

What do you mean? No cool people? We're not gonna be going. I'm not gonna be like. Guys, everybody, this is my buddy Dana. Come around. You know, that's not what will happen.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

We'll.

[Dana Beers]

We'll hit our first tee shots. Maybe a couple people will watch. You'll probably do poorly off the first te. It's always the most pressure packed shot.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

What if I took a Xanax?

[Ronan]

It's a great idea.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've never done that.

[Dana Beers]

I think a beta blocker would be better for you.

[Ronan]

No.

[Dana Beers]

Harry knows about the beta blockers.

[Francis]

What's the difference?

[Ronan]

Beta blocker doesn't do anything. Beta blocker. It. It's a heart. It's. It's a blood. It's a blood pressure medication that they use off script for anxiety and specifically performance anxiety. And it pretty much just makes it like sex. No, I don't think it would work for that. It might.

[Francis]

I think it's the kind of thing that probably would ruin your sex.

[Ronan]

Probably. If I had to guess. Cuz it slows. Like it pretty much. It just. It. It prevents your adrenaline from spiking a pa. Like it won't. Like your heart rate won't get like out of control and you won't get, like, the sweaty hands and, like, your armpits won't be sweating.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm a PA guy.

[Ronan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Is that performance anxiety?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, yeah.

[Dana Beers]

You are with.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

With peeing sometimes with sex. Like stage being on stage.

[Dana Beers]

What?

[Ronan]

Are you on stage a lot?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

No.

[Francis]

Are you on stage having piss sex a lot?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No.

[Ronan]

On stage, it's mostly just pissing.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I can't piss in front of people. That's what I'm trying to say.

[Ronan]

I'm the same way, though. I can't piss in front of people.

[Dana Beers]

When you have performance anxiety during sex, is your anxiety that you won't be able to maintain an erection, achieve an erection or. Or arrive at ejaculation.

[Ronan]

Arrived at ejaculation. It's crazy.

[Francis]

Answer the men usually a boner.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Achieving an erection, like a. Keeping the bone.

[Dana Beers]

Keeping and maintaining an erection.

[Francis]

Yeah, but you're just. You're having a lot of your sex. Excuse me for saying this. It might. Might be drunk, though.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

So you're fighting against yourself.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It's mostly the WD40.

[Francis]

The whiskey.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Even without the whiskey.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

The whiskey dick.

[Francis]

You still get the 40.

[Ronan]

Yeah, well, you know what? You know what?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That was pretty good by me. I don't usually have stuff like that in my bag.

[Dana Beers]

No, that was very good.

[Ronan]

I think you got to just take the 40 beers down and then at the end of the night, get a little beta blocker in you.

[Francis]

Okay, That's. That will kill.

[Dana Beers]

I don't think you should.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

The only thing I know about beta blockers is that guy on Summer House, on the reunion, right? He was beta blockered out.

[Francis]

Yeah. As a couple. They were beta blockers.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

He was just so. He didn't. He just sat there like this the whole time.

[Francis]

They were like, you're the worst person that's ever walked the face of the Earth. And he was like, all right, okay. We all fucking hate you as a friend group now. And, like, you're, like a bad person to your core. And you. They're just both like, whatever. Like, people aren't allowed to be in love.

[Ronan]

I don't think people. People think that. I think people think that beta blockers are much stronger than they are. They don't.

[Francis]

Then they were on alpha block.

[Dana Beers]

No, hold on a minute now. Maybe you haven't had that much experience. Right. Or success. Success, rather. They don't work that well for you.

[Ronan]

No, I've. I took them and then they didn't work, and then I kept taking them and they started working.

[Dana Beers]

Well, that's because you washed down your beta blockers with 14 energy drinks and seven jewel pods.

[Ronan]

No, the beta blockers, I'm just saying, they not. You don't feel anything. It's not like Xanax or Klonopin or anything like that. It's not a benzos. Like, you don't. You don't feel anything.

[Dana Beers]

But that's the point. You also don't feel the creeping sense of doom as you stand over a ball near the green. Right. Like, is that the thought?

[Ad/Promo Voice]

No.

[Ronan]

Because you still have mental anxiety. It doesn't do anything for your brain,

[Dana Beers]

just slows your heart rate.

[Ronan]

It just slows down your heart rate. That's all it does.

[Dana Beers]

Well, that would help me. I mean, yeah. I remember in my most sort of fearful moments on the golf course where I thought, like, oh, my God, I'm not going to hit this. Well, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.

[Ronan]

Definitely. Yeah, it does help in that way. But I'm just saying, like, mentally, it does nothing.

[Francis]

Boys, let's experiment. Let's experiment with drugs. Like, let's try these all together. You would take activities.

[Ronan]

Yeah. Honestly, you'd probably get on the stage,

[Francis]

let's piss and let's have sex.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

And let's just see. And just see if we. If that works. Because it probably works for some people. Some people swear by it.

[Ronan]

Nothing works better than a good old Benzo, if we're being honest. That's the cure.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've never indulged.

[Francis]

Yeah. Maybe that'll help the golf game.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm afraid I would like it too

[Francis]

much, I don't think.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I mean, I definitely wouldn't be doing it.

[Francis]

Are you a high anxiety person in general? Yeah, I have anxiety.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm like. I have very general anxiety. I've had. I've had bouts with, like, panic attacks. I've been on medication pretty much since I was in high school, but, you know, just pretty general what's going on good over there.

[Dana Beers]

I've never seen a mic stand with so many knobs. I've never seen it. There's this thing, telescopes in 14 different ways. Who's. Who needs it to bend this much?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Seriously?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know.

[Dana Beers]

Look at, look at how many different

[Ronan]

ways it is bending in ways I've never.

[Dana Beers]

And then. And then, as a result, there's no structural integrity whatsoever.

[Ronan]

Yeah, these things, there's.

[Francis]

There's got to be a knob.

[Dana Beers]

I can't figure out which knob to tighten in order to get it to stop.

[Ronan]

I think it's just the big One. The la. The one with the knob.

[Francis]

This?

[Ronan]

No, no, no, the one above that.

[Dana Beers]

This? Yeah, there we go.

[Ronan]

Now it's working.

[Dana Beers]

Look, it's fine. And I feel bad. Tyler, you're doing a great job. This is not on you, obviously,

[Francis]

that you've got.

[Ronan]

Here we go.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Now we're cooking.

[Dana Beers]

So we think. And then it starts doing what Dana does. 10 minutes, 10 pumps in.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Wilting,

[Dana Beers]

wilting under the pressure.

[Francis]

We need to get some beta block for that mic stand.

[Dana Beers]

Drooping and then being like, I promise this isn't about you.

[Francis]

It's me. I'm stressed at work.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Are you watching Summer House? Are you watching shows like that?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, yeah. My wife loves that shit, so I, I, it's pretty addicting.

[Francis]

By the way.

[Dana Beers]

I love every guy that answers that question. It's always like, yeah, my wife loves all that trash, you know, dude. So I'll like tune in. It's never like, yes, I personally enjoy it and we together watch it because I've found an emotional stakes that I can.

[Ronan]

If I had to guess, I would say Roan is leading the charge in the house to watch Summer House.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I know all of it.

[Ronan]

Yeah, you're definitely the one, like turning it on.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, sometimes I'll toss. I'll be like, why don't you toss the housewives on?

[Francis]

Yeah, yeah, it should be on at like 5:00'. Clock. Except for they're, they're giving you below deck at 5 o'. Clock. If it was on at 5 o'.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Clock. I don't with below that.

[Francis]

Yeah, below deck. What's that?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Dude, it's drama. It's some, it's some absolute bullshit.

[Francis]

It's just like they're on a. It's the staff of a personal yacht and it's just they don't really have that much drama. It's just, I mean, it's cool I guess as like a travel show, but like the levels of what they could be doing in front of all these guests is way lower. It's not a salacious. So it's some like, we need to have the. Is it just like Benzo out housewives who are having public fights and like throwing glasses at each other and like getting divorced and like have stealing each other's man.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You've been watching Rory?

[Francis]

I. I was talking a little bit about it yesterday.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's good.

[Dana Beers]

What's Rory wrote?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Real Housewives of Rhode Island.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, okay.

[Francis]

Honestly, I think that like, guys get into watching Bravo shows because of sports guilt. And like, you watch enough sports where it's like, okay, like I've had Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah, like you take, you take a bunch of days and we'll really buy in. But my wife doesn't quid pro quo it and like sports in return. Like I'm liking the shit out of her shows, but she doesn't, she still doesn't give a fuck about, about sports.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh no, my wife likes football but she, I watch basketball pretty much every night and she's, she hates it. Absolutely. Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

It's too diverse for her.

[Ronan]

Yeah, basketball's boring as hell.

[Francis]

What?

[Ronan]

Slow. The last four minutes of the game are great.

[Francis]

That's such like a old.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's the slowest part though.

[Ronan]

I know, but that's when. That's the only entertaining part.

[Francis]

That's such an old dude take. That's. That sucks.

[Ronan]

It's just not really for me, that's all. I'll leave it at that. I'll leave it at that.

[Francis]

Chris Clemmer was talking about how boring the World cup is, how boring soccer is and he's like, it's nothing compared to baseball. Like baseball's awesome. I was like, are you fucking kidding me? There's non stop movement in action during the World Cup. In baseball it's only stops and they've sped up the game.

[Ronan]

Baseball is. That's a crazy one.

[Dana Beers]

I didn't check the final score. Did you guys over end up hitting last night or no?

[Ronan]

Oh, I didn't check either, actually.

[Francis]

I didn't check out either.

[Dana Beers]

Wow. Must be nice. Place a bet, not even care if it hits.

[Ronan]

I would assume no.

[Dana Beers]

Must be nice.

[Francis]

It's for, it was for the, it's really the thrill of the chase. I would never bet if I, if

[Dana Beers]

I needed to win that Telluride bush you money.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Let's see.

[Francis]

It doesn't look like it was five to two. It stayed the same. Yeah.

[Ronan]

No, it did not.

[Francis]

You get out to any Cubs games since you've been here?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've been to a couple. My, my, my new number one goal in life is to catch a ball at a game. But like off the bat, not in warm ups, not like some dude throws at you from the outfield. I want to catch a ball while with a beer in my hand. That's my number one goal in life.

[Dana Beers]

We're talking home run. Are we talking foul ball and home run?

[Ronan]

But you want it to be a home run.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You know, homeowner would be so sick.

[Francis]

But foul ball is sick though.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Because the angle of a foul ball like a home run Comes to you like the, like tracking a foul ball.

[Ronan]

Yeah, it's true.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

But you could kind of cheat the foul ball system and go to the spots where there's a lot of foul balls. Like, you go on the. On the third baseline or the first baseline, but home run would be.

[Ronan]

So have you. Have you, like, got tickets to, like, position yourself?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've gone to like three or four games. Yeah. And one of them was so close to me, dude.

[Ronan]

Really?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

How close?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Like 10ft.

[Francis]

I know you're gonna get one. I know you are gonna get one. I told. I think you have to just start speaking it into existence.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I know it'. I've caught one at a minor league game, and it was the most electrifying thing that's ever happened.

[Dana Beers]

I caught one at a minor league game, but it rolled. And then I caught it.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I caught it off the ceiling and I caught with one hand and I gave it to a kid behind me. Coolest thing I've ever.

[Dana Beers]

I took it like a girl wanted it, and I took and I got it. Now, in my defense, this was when I was in middle school, so I myself was probably only like 12.

[Ronan]

Yeah, you take.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

If you're.

[Dana Beers]

But the girl was like seven.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You take that ball.

[Dana Beers]

She was pretty young.

[Francis]

If she's younger than you, you got to give it to her now. But that wasn't the rule then.

[Dana Beers]

Correct.

[Ronan]

I feel like. I feel like that. You keep that.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, I did.

[Ronan]

I would. Now wouldn't be giving that shit up. I wouldn't be. I don't know if I'll be giving it up now, to be honest.

[Francis]

I'm telling my kids that they have to give up the ball at any age. You always look like a G giving up the ball. I would like to get one and give it to them, but if they catch a ball, giving it to someone, they don't have to do it. It's not the rule. But you'll look like a stud. You find any woman and give them the ball, or any little kid younger than you.

[Dana Beers]

I think we got a five seconds of gratification. There's no lasting benefit.

[Francis]

If it gets caught on camera, you're viral forever. I think we gotta.

[Ronan]

I think we gotta reverse that.

[Dana Beers]

Like, I completely agree.

[Ronan]

The trend of, of you catch the ball and then you gotta give it to the closest girl or child.

[Dana Beers]

There's an entitlement. Children grow up thinking that souvenir home run balls will just be handed to them on a silver platter.

[Ronan]

That ball, for some reason, you're saying if They're.

[Francis]

If we're going to pay equal wages to women and children, we need to have them fight for the ball. Equal rights.

[Dana Beers]

You know where they're not giving balls to kids? Korea.

[Ronan]

Yeah. Yeah. Damn straight.

[Dana Beers]

Those kids are in school.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

How do you know?

[Ronan]

And the ones that have balls, they.

[Dana Beers]

Because they have the highest teenage suicide rate in the world because the pressure is so high.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

But they, that doesn't mean.

[Francis]

Maybe if they got a couple balls.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. You could still catch a ball and kill yourself.

[Dana Beers]

You're less likely to do so.

[Ronan]

I think I would agree. I think it's like if you, if I think if. There's probably some sort of statistic where you could find it, where it's like anyone who has caught a baseball at a game, like your suicide chances go down by like 90%.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Cuz you're always going back to that.

[Dana Beers]

But caught a ball, right?

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Not handed a ball.

[Ronan]

Oh, handed a ball. That's doing nothing.

[Dana Beers]

Handed a ball means like, oh, I need to be on pills.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yes, yes.

[Dana Beers]

And then one day you abuse them

[Ronan]

to try to forget about the ball that you lost.

[Dana Beers]

Correct.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

They're really, they're really doing it out there like that.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Korea is really bad. South Korea, by the way.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Well, isn't that the less bad one?

[Dana Beers]

It is.

[Ronan]

Well, it's also North Korea. Nothing is. They don't really publicize anything.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. We don't know anything that's coming out of North Korea.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

So they could be.

[Ronan]

It's probably much worse.

[Dana Beers]

It's probably worse than North Korea. But in, in South Korea the academic schedule and expectations of kids is so high and so strenuous that they buckle under the pressure and end up killing themselves. There was an article written about this. Apparently like these kids, they go to school starting at 7am till 3pm and then they like have this after school. You know, we would go to like soccer practice. Like they have English learning after school from you know, 3:30 to 5:30. And then there are these like American prep programs for standardized test prep or college application essay teaching or like whatever it is to try to get, get into colleges in the west. And those go to like 8:30 and then they have homework until 2 in the morning.

[Francis]

And then at 2 in the morning they have not tying and gun maintenance.

[Dana Beers]

That's right. Shoe polishing, rifle spinning. And then they wake up at 7am, start over and they can't, they can't keep up.

[Francis]

But what's like the, what's, what's the upside?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

What's the upside of Being a South

[Dana Beers]

Korean, they have the best skin in the world.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's that.

[Francis]

No, there is a lot and I'm glad you asked. One they. A huge export for them is boy bands. So it's like there's a really high chance that you wind up in a K pop group and can harmonize brilliantly and billions. And make billions. Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

K pop. K pop. And skin care.

[Francis]

Really good skin care.

[Dana Beers]

Unbelievable. Skin care. The best skin care products. Cheap.

[Francis]

Yeah, that's also good barbecue. They also have great barbecue.

[Dana Beers]

They have good barbecue.

[Francis]

There is upside. There's really high upside, but also really low downside.

[Ronan]

Really low.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Massages.

[Dana Beers]

Great films. Films.

[Ronan]

Great films.

[Dana Beers]

Great films. The Koreans are the second best in the world at making films behind the Nigerians. Behind us. Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know if you're with.

[Dana Beers]

Not at all. Parasite.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, yeah, Old boy Parasite.

[Ronan]

Yeah, they got a bunch of movies, man. Pretty much like every movie that you see that's Korean. I don't really watch most of them because I don't like doing the subtitles and all that. But like, if you look on IMDb, there are always like 8.9 out of 10, like crazy high ratings.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I have a lot of respect for South Koreans.

[Francis]

I love that.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Really?

[Ronan]

Why? Why is that where that comes from? You guys just said so.

[Dana Beers]

That's new.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

New respect.

[Francis]

Newfound.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I said I would say I would. I had medium respect for them before because I didn't know much about them, but now I'm at a high respect level.

[Ronan]

Good, good.

[Dana Beers]

We wanted that.

[Francis]

Would you bring. Would you bring a glove to a baseball game to catch a ball that's soft?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's soft as. Dude, that's lame.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Are you going to.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I hate foul ball guy or home run guy, whatever.

[Ronan]

A lot of people.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I hope he sees this or fight him.

[Ronan]

I think that guy rules. No, I want to fight the man.

[Francis]

Do you know who this dude is, Francis?

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, of course. What do you got there?

[Ronan]

Doesn't he have like a big ass?

[Francis]

I think this is a. I think this is a cologne. Oh, here. Why don't you open that thing up,

[Dana Beers]

take a little whack of that.

[Francis]

Yeah, pass that. Get that. Get this room stinking like that cologne. While we talk about who foul ball guys.

[Dana Beers]

I'm sure this is someone's sponsor, right?

[Francis]

Yeah, there's a. There's a cooler full of cologne. They literally have an igloo.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, they're keeping those heart transplants smelling good.

[Francis]

Yeah. It's not going to save your life, but it's going to have your chest smelling incredible.

[Dana Beers]

Dana, we have a policy of no looking at cell phones when you're. Son of a boy.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Dad, I'm just making sure. If Tyler can tell me when 12 o' clock hits. That's all. That's all I need to know. I'm sorry.

[Ronan]

Yeah, you got a heart out.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I have to do a Brandon shoot at 12.

[Francis]

He's doing a CVO commercial.

[Ronan]

Yeah, dude, Always on the clock.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Always on the clock.

[Ronan]

Stop.

[Francis]

He won't dodge the stuff on the golf course.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Never stopped.

[Ronan]

What would you say are your big. That's probably good for the whole room.

[Francis]

It's two spritzes.

[Ronan]

Yeah, but that's going to be strong. All right, that's good. That's good.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Smells good.

[Francis]

I want to throw it over here. I want to smell.

[Ronan]

No, no, no, no, no. Don't throw it to Rome. Don't. Cuz you know he's gonna.

[Francis]

Hail marriage between his fingertips.

[Ronan]

You know, Rome was definitely the kid in high school with like doing the axe bombs and. You ever do that? You ever see people do that? What is it when you get the portable, you got the little mini axe, and you throw a rubber band around it and you just like thr locker room, it's just spraying everywhere.

[Francis]

I've never heard of that.

[Ronan]

And then everyone has to walk around reeking like ax the whole day.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've never seen that.

[Francis]

I've never heard of that in my life. But I would have loved to have done that.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Francis]

I wasn't that mischievous.

[Dana Beers]

Wait, I knew some. I knew X bomb differently. I knew it to be a thing where people would, like, light them on fire and throw them and they'd explode.

[Ronan]

Oh, no. Yeah, we weren't doing that. This was like, in school. So that probably would have been.

[Dana Beers]

I mean, I like the axe bomb. I like your version better. It's a little less harmful.

[Francis]

Yeah, definitely.

[Dana Beers]

Because this kid that I used to tutor, he was. He one day showed up to a lesson in shorts and he had horrible burns all up and down his leg. And I was like, what happened? And he was like, well, we were playing with axe bombs.

[Ronan]

That's crazy.

[Dana Beers]

And he threw one down on the ground kind of, and it exploded and lit his whole leg on fire. Jesus.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

We used to do. We used to have a basketball camp back on the South Shore, and they would have, like, themed days. And one of the days was call College Shirt Day. So people would show up in their favorite colleges. This kid Sanchez showed up in a collared shirt. Collared shirt, Dude, I don't know.

[Francis]

It's shirt day. When you first said it, I was like, is he saying college or college

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

playing basketball on a polo dude? Probably like, our USC and Boston College.

[Francis]

It's hilarious.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I think he was in the. In the Marines.

[Dana Beers]

Shout out to Sanchez.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, hell, yeah.

[Francis]

That's the worst place to, like, say it in Boston and makes it. It's like college. College shirt day. College shirt day. Yeah, I could see that mix college shirt. Like, it's kind of hard. I don't blame Sanchez.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, me neither.

[Francis]

Was he local to Boston?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

He was actually a new kid.

[Francis]

Yeah. So even.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, it was like, his first third. Like, a third day as a guy from our high school.

[Francis]

So he didn't know the tradition of college shirt day.

[Ronan]

You guys ever do, like. Like, spirit week and all that?

[Dana Beers]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Ronan]

Like, dress up every day.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, that was fun. I like that.

[Ronan]

I don't think anything has given me more, like, stress and anxiety than that. Just breaking down. I remember we. And my mom did it, and we went as, like, we did, like, Tropic Thunder. And I remember, like, our. Our costumes were dog. Like, real.

[Francis]

Who is the. Who played the guy that does blackface? Because that's one of the biggest characters in tr. Thunder.

[Ronan]

I didn't mean Tropic Thunder. I meant the basketball one.

[Dana Beers]

Oh. Bought Ricky. Bought Jackie Moon. Tropic.

[Ronan]

The Tropic. Is that the name of the movie?

[Francis]

Semi Pro.

[Ronan]

Semi Pro. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, they are Flint Trop.

[Ronan]

So we all wore, like, Tropic uniforms, and, like, we all, like, made them. Like, they were really bad. And I remember, like, second, like, you go.

[Francis]

We still did blackface. One of us was Andre 3000.

[Ronan]

Yeah, you, like. You, like, we would all, like, meet up in the morning and, like, go to school together. Like, hang out. And then we, like. You have to go to class. And I remember, like, being in the outfit. The whole class, and then, like, second period, like, going to my next class and, like, seeing Beau, and he's just got, like, shorts and a T shirt on. Like, totally bailed. And now I'm just walking around solo with this fucking Tropics uniform, and no one knows what it is.

[Francis]

How many people did it? Just two of you?

[Ronan]

I think it was. I think it was three of us.

[Dana Beers]

And Peters.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I think so. They all bailed. Everyone ends up bailing. We all ended up bailing.

[Francis]

You're just last to bail.

[Ronan]

Yeah, that's.

[Dana Beers]

We didn't bail.

[Ronan]

You guys stayed strong.

[Dana Beers]

Brian Ertz and I went to Goodwill, and we wore all kinds of Nonsense. Just for twin day.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Because he was a 6 foot 3 ginger as well.

[Francis]

He did twin day.

[Dana Beers]

Twin day.

[Francis]

So you have to pick a twin.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, basically.

[Ronan]

And what do you wear? The same clothes.

[Dana Beers]

Correct.

[Francis]

Imagine getting twinned with the fat girl.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I know.

[Francis]

And you're like, now I'm a fat girl.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. Not fun.

[Ronan]

That would be devastating.

[Francis]

There's gotta be some people that weren't appropriate twins.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

[Dana Beers]

I was always in the dance off.

[Francis]

What'd you hit him with?

[Dana Beers]

And one year me and Hannah Wasaluski want it together.

[Ronan]

What is the dance off? What's the dance off?

[Dana Beers]

It's a dance off.

[Ronan]

Well, I know that, but you said like I always. Always in the dance off.

[Dana Beers]

Well, you pick two people from your class to represent the class and the dance off.

[Ronan]

Oh, so it was just you and one other person.

[Dana Beers]

Correct. And then in the first year, I didn't dance with Hannah Wasilewski even though she took dance and was very good dancer. And they tapped us and eliminated us because we would learn later that the group, the pairs that would actually dance together would always win. So the next year, Hannah Wasaliewski and I did a lot of swing dancing stuff and we won.

[Ronan]

Did you guys practice?

[Dana Beers]

No, we were just kind of knew how to improvise our way around it. Love that.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Is she hot?

[Dana Beers]

I don't know.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Not back then.

[Dana Beers]

I haven't seen Hannah Wasaluski.

[Francis]

It would be okay if she was hot at the same age. Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

True. It's not like you're looking back and

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

being 33 year old if she was hot when she was 12 or whatever.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, that's what you asked.

[Francis]

Was that 12 year old hot? I'm trying to picture her. It's more that he's trying to picture your emotions of like we're dancing with the hot girl.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Did you win any superlatives?

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, most outspoken.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's sick.

[Dana Beers]

It's. It's not as cool as it sounds, actually. That might be an insult, kind of. It's close.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. Like you were known to just be. That kind of sounds like, you were just a dick.

[Dana Beers]

No, I think it was mostly because I. I raised a stink about the fact that our biology teacher wouldn't teach evolution because she was devoutly Christian.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Really?

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. And it was a public school.

[Francis]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

And it was like, evolution's one of the core blocks. Biology. And she was like, kind of offered it as, like, extra credit. She was like, if you guys want to research this on your own, you can.

[Ronan]

She would, like. She, like, straight up refused to talk about it.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. She didn't cover it. Yeah.

[Ronan]

So what did you do?

[Francis]

How did you even know about it?

[Dana Beers]

Well, I didn't like the teacher.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Because she was a terrible teacher.

[Ronan]

Sounds like it.

[Dana Beers]

Terrible.

[Ronan]

It sounds like she should probably not be teaching biology.

[Dana Beers]

And I. I wanted to. I wanted to switch out of the class to the other bio teacher who was good. So I had to talk to the assistant principal about it, and I was like, yeah, I don't. I want to switch the other teacher because this is. This is a terrible class.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

These are the things that have gone wrong so far. And they were like, okay, well, we don't really have room or whatever. And then I was like, well, how about the fact that she won't teach. She won't teach evolution and it's a public school.

[Ronan]

And what'd they say?

[Dana Beers]

They're like, well, technically, they've. She's presented the material. They created some thing. And then there was an article written in the, like, local newspaper about her and about the fact that she didn't teach evolution, and they, like, the. The journalists, like, took her side. And then my buddy's parents, who were also furious about the fact that she didn't do this, wrote a letter to the journalists and was like, you got fleeced. That story was completely untrue.

[Ronan]

Damn. That's crazy.

[Francis]

Are you sure your superlative wasn't most likely to not be able to keep his little mouth shut?

[Dana Beers]

That's another way to put it. That might be the subtext, dude.

[Ronan]

About evolution.

[Francis]

Get our school in hot water with the newspapers.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I had a teacher my sophomore year of high school. And our assignment, it was like our end of the year assignment. It was to, like, write a story about some. You have to, like, write a book, pretty much like a short story. And mine was about this kid named Jerome who wanted to, like, make it to the NBA. Why is that funny?

[Ronan]

Because you named a kid. You named the kid.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

So you ready for this? He was a little black kid with cornrows, and he was just wanting to make it to the League she gave. She failed me because I named him Jerome.

[Francis]

Really?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

She called me racist.

[Francis]

Dude.

[Ronan]

That's crazy.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

She was like, you should have named him something else. I was like, why? You're a racist. And I failed, dude, you're right. I failed my end. And then I never like, made a stink of it or anything, but, like, I got. I failed the class because of that.

[Ronan]

That's pretty crazy.

[Francis]

Like, there's not black kids named Jerome, dude.

[Ronan]

Yeah, that's the. That's the part that I don't really get.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I mean, I would love to see

[Ronan]

what it is, but it's also not at the same time.

[Dana Beers]

No question. Did you really fail the class?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't if I failed the class, I failed the end of the end of the year, like, big project.

[Ronan]

Did you ever fail any classes in high school?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No.

[Francis]

Because you named a black kid Jerome. You should have hit her with the I'm Egyptian.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

The true. Yeah, I am African American.

[Francis]

Yeah, that's get out of jail free right there.

[Dana Beers]

Do you think that she would have cared if you had given Jerome a different aspiration? Like, let's say Jerome aspires to be a drug star restaurant, a NASA engineer.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know, dude.

[Ronan]

She would probably be like, there's never going to be an astronaut named Jerome.

[Francis]

Be realistic. Draw him.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Should I call my mom? My mom would know better than me.

[Ronan]

But that's crazy.

[Francis]

I mean, she was like, jerome could be a white guy. Tyrone maybe would have been more appropriate.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's only racist because she thought it was racist.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, she's the race.

[Ronan]

I agree. She is the racist.

[Dana Beers]

You should have just been like, no, it's not Jerome. It's pronounced Jeromey. Yeah, Jeremy.

[Francis]

Yeah, it's J. Rome.

[Ronan]

Or you should have been like, yeah, this is my, like my cousin's name.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, no, I don't know.

[Francis]

You should be able to. But I don't even know if Jerome, like, what kind of name is Jerome?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Plenty of white Jerome, right?

[Francis]

There's white Jerome's, historically.

[Ronan]

Is there?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I can't name one, but they're out there.

[Ronan]

I don't think there are any.

[Francis]

I think. That isn't there. Like, I thought it's like an ancient name. Like, it's like a. Like an ancient Greek.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You don't see a lot of Jerome's these days.

[Dana Beers]

No.

[Francis]

Jerry Seinfeld's real name is Jerome. His legal first name is Jerome.

[Dana Beers]

Jerome Seinfeld.

[Ronan]

So you were being anti Semitic.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's really Jerome Seinfeld.

[Francis]

Jerome Allen Seinfeld.

[Dana Beers]

Did he spell G or J? Wow. Are you serious?

[Francis]

And he. It says he had cornrows growing up. No, but it really is. Jerome Seinfeld is his real name.

[Dana Beers]

Wow.

[Ronan]

That's crazy.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You.

[Francis]

Oh, man. I want. I wish your teacher knew this.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I hope she watches this.

[Ronan]

Have you guys seen those videos of Seinfeld from the.

[Francis]

What was the next game?

[Ronan]

The Knicks game with the Palestine stuff?

[Francis]

Yeah. Which is, like.

[Ronan]

I get, like, whatever. It's like, who. I don't give a. About what he thinks, but it's like, he's pretty insane about it.

[Francis]

He is pretty gleeful.

[Ronan]

Like, it's not like. He's just like, I'm not gonna talk about that. He's like, I hate Palestine. It's like, whoa.

[Dana Beers]

All right.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It's like, pretty sure.

[Ronan]

Like, you're, like, the only guy with that take.

[Dana Beers]

He's walking. No, he goes. He goes. It doesn't exist. Yeah, that's what he said.

[Ronan]

That's crazy.

[Francis]

There's another video where he's like, he. He just triples down.

[Ronan]

Yeah. It's not just like, I'm not gonna. Like, he used to do that. He'd be like, I'm not gonna talk about that. I'm not gonna talk about Palestine. And now he's just, like, laughing in the camera.

[Dana Beers]

I think he's been pretty. He's been pretty outspoken the whole time about that issue.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

But I remember, like, there was.

[Dana Beers]

Wife is literally, like, a thought leader on it.

[Ronan]

Oh, really?

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Her before. Fun fact.

[Francis]

Really?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

You met Jerome's wife? What was she doing?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

She was doing. I was doing a cooking video for her. It's a weird, long story.

[Francis]

You shot it?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

That's cool.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

We're 450 episodes in. We have nothing else to talk about. If you want to.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Well, it was. It wasn't that cool. I was just in her apartment.

[Ronan]

Beautiful apartment or his apartment, or both.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Like, was he A good question. Is it his wife? Her last name was Seinfeld. Hold on.

[Francis]

It's got to be his wife.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

What's her name?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It doesn't matter. But, yeah, it was. It's a shitty story. I went and filmed.

[Dana Beers]

Her name is. Shaniqua Seinfeld.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Making brownies or something. And I filmed it.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

Stupid.

[Francis]

Sucks.

[Ronan]

Yeah, it did suck. It's like, the easiest thing in the world, getting out of the box.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I was sweating balls. Dude, it was so hot.

[Dana Beers]

How did you end up in this situation?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know.

[Dana Beers]

Is this for barstool?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, this is, like, a little Side. Side project.

[Dana Beers]

You're doing side projects? Wife.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It was one video for that dude that we did the video with. What's that guy's name? Ben.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, yeah. Through him.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Ben Soffer.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, because you and I did the cooking video. So this was after that.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. He, like, hit me up. He's like, hey, I just need a camera guy for something. Can you help?

[Dana Beers]

Oh, you filmed.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, I thought you were on camera.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Took like, half an hour.

[Francis]

Francis thought you betrayed him. I did a. A cooking video. You replaced Francis in a video with Ebony Seinfeld.

[Dana Beers]

I thought you were very nice lady. Yeah, very nice lady.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm sweating balls, dude.

[Ronan]

Unless you're living in Palestine. Probably not the nicest lady.

[Dana Beers]

You know the reason that. You know the reason why he said it doesn't exist?

[Ronan]

No.

[Dana Beers]

Well, that's like, the debate is that neither side recognizes each other as, like, a country.

[Ronan]

I thought he meant because it's, like, destroyed.

[Dana Beers]

No, I think it's because.

[Ronan]

Because they don't recognize it as a place.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, yeah. Palestine. That I don't understand. It's.

[Ronan]

It's actually long debate.

[Francis]

It's really long.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. It's too toxic to listen. I'm not gonna get into it.

[Ronan]

60 years plus.

[Francis]

So nice to bring on Dana Beers to talk Palestine.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Well, I am Middle Eastern and African American.

[Dana Beers]

Egypt, ironically. Yeah. Is.

[Ronan]

Has been pretty involved.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm in that, dude.

[Francis]

Ironically, I'm in it.

[Ronan]

Let my people go

[Dana Beers]

when D was a young boy.

[Francis]

Egypt does have some great history.

[Ronan]

Oh, yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Is Egypt. Are they in, like. Are they any. Any.

[Ronan]

They're always right now, but I don't think it's anything crazy.

[Francis]

Like, I think a lot of refugees are going to Egypt. I think that they're taking in a lot of Middle Eastern refugees.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

And people want them, a lot of them, to go to Egypt. I also heard that they're, like, pushy about tourism. If you want to get a. If you want to go to the pyramids, someone's going to make you take a tour or something like that. Have you ever gone back?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've never been. My dad has been, and I tell the story, but a monkey jumped on his shoulder, stole his hat. That's the story.

[Ronan]

That's pretty crazy. I mean, that's pretty crazy story.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, I know.

[Ronan]

Like, if I saw that, I would be like, holy.

[Francis]

I know it very efficiently.

[Dana Beers]

It's also funny that you started that by saying, I told this story.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I've told it many times.

[Ronan]

Pretty quick.

[Dana Beers]

My dad went, and that happened.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's my Egypt story.

[Ronan]

I mean, you could tell that story a hundred times a day.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I know I don't have old. That's my only Egypt story. My grandfather was 100 Egyptian. I only know him. I use a doctor, but I don't really know him.

[Francis]

Moses.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

He's dead. I. I never knew him. I don't know why I'm saying I don't really know him. I don't know him. I've never known him. His name was Ibrahim. Did you.

[Ronan]

Did he have any cats? Cats.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Get a pool.

[Ronan]

Oh, that doesn't really.

[Francis]

Did he have a sphinx that he asked him riddles or anything?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, dude, but my grandma wrot wrote a book called in the. In the Shadow of the Sphinx.

[Francis]

Really?

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Francis]

What kind of book?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Like a book. Oh, like a real book.

[Ronan]

Damn. Was it good?

[Dana Beers]

I think. I don't think he meant like, was it a physical book or a. In her head. I think he meant like, was it a novel? Was it children's history? Was it a.

[Francis]

Was it like a history book or like a story? A story. Like a made up, like a non or a fiction tale.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I have. I can't lie. I never took the time to read it.

[Francis]

True. My grandma wrote a book that I didn't.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Dude, it's a long book.

[Ronan]

I guess that's true. I don't know why I'm laughing.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Your grandma wrote a book about.

[Dana Beers]

What are you.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, Polish. What are you.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I tried to play like the. The card of like. You didn't read a book that your grandma wrote? But then I was like, my grandma lives in the same city as me and we don't see each other.

[Francis]

So.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, my. My grandparents are incredibly smart and I'm like. Like the dumbest guy.

[Francis]

No. I was gonna start the episode with this. You're the fakest dumb guy.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm not. I am. I play it up in certain situations, but there I am. I'm pretty dumb.

[Francis]

Watch any trivia competition?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Sports. Dude, I know sports.

[Francis]

So what if you have the ability

[Ronan]

to know all that? You could know a lot of other things.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, probably.

[Ronan]

But I don't want the ability to like, process information.

[Francis]

Well, being a smart guy who presents as dumb is infinitely better than being a dumb guy that presents as smart.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Ronan]

That's what I do.

[Francis]

That's what I do.

[Ronan]

And it annoys a lot of people.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Presenting smart. But I'm actually.

[Francis]

It's so nice to. To finally acknowledge that though. Whenever you can.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, like, just like.

[Francis]

Oh, I'm actually.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I definitely play it up A little bit. Especially with Francis, like in our show, but. But 90 of the time, it's a real me.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, people always. That's the thing. Everyone always asks me, is he really that dumb?

[Francis]

But he's actually smart, athletic and handsome. It's actually annoying.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, you are handsome.

[Francis]

The problem. Athlete.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

The problem is, though, at my peak, I'd be the hottest guy here. My peak was in 2011, though. Like 15 years ago.

[Dana Beers]

That.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Dude. Dude, it was me and. Me and Timmy Driscoll at Hingham High School. Holy. I was the hottest guy and then I got fat. Now, like, right now, I'm like, I'm 30 pounds away from my peak. But if I'm peak, I'm. Dude, I'm hot. I'm not hot.

[Francis]

Let's see a picture of you at Chichinga.

[Ronan]

Oh, no, he got great.

[Francis]

I'm talking about how hot he is.

[Dana Beers]

God's way of being like, shut up.

[Sponsor Voice]

Up.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Dana.

[Ronan]

That's crazy. Yeah, it's a bad one, too. You can tell. His legs vibrating.

[Francis]

Get it? Push his. Push his toe towards his.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That is.

[Dana Beers]

I'm not touching that doughy foot of his.

[Francis]

Breathe into it.

[Dana Beers]

You need more water, Dana?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, I went on a run last night. That's why.

[Dana Beers]

Okay, well, I would still say drink more water.

[Ronan]

I definitely would say more water.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

What does that have? Anything. That's more of a reason to drink water. Yeah, I need. You need water? No, I want. On a run yesterday.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, no, when I'm at my hydrated. When I'm at my peak, I'm the hottest guy in this office.

[Francis]

Couldn't write that.

[Dana Beers]

No, I just. It's because I sat out in the hot sun all day.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't need.

[Ronan]

This is.

[Dana Beers]

Has nothing to do with water.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Exercising.

[Dana Beers]

That's.

[Ronan]

Oh, that was one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

[Dana Beers]

Just. I'm just hung over.

[Ronan]

And that was what we needed. That might take us to the next level.

[Dana Beers]

Under quenched.

[Ronan]

Talking about being at your peak and then getting a Charlie Horse mid sentence.

[Francis]

Sitting still. Sitting still and getting a three.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh,

[Francis]

yeah, I can relate. But I need to see the Cha Chingum pictures. I need to see how hot you truly were.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Hot, dude.

[Francis]

You and who? Charlie who?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Me and Timmy Driscoll.

[Francis]

Timmy Driscoll.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Now it's Al Pompio. Al Pompio's wrong.

[Dana Beers]

Charlie Horse. Charlie Horse.

[Ronan]

You ever go to the Charlie Horse in Plymouth?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, I used to work in Plymouth, but.

[Ronan]

Great restaurant.

[Francis]

What'd you work at?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

A little South Shore talk, Dude.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Why not?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

For all our so Shore listeners, we have a lot.

[Ronan]

It's probably a good amount.

[Dana Beers]

Harry's from the. The nice part.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, I know, sure. No, I'm not a real Hingham guy. I'm not a real dude. I'm not a real Hingham guy.

[Francis]

That's what they call it.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's what they call him. Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

This is the thing.

[Ronan]

All these guys, they all say deluxe Bear. They're all from Cohasset and Hingham.

[Francis]

I'm not. Here's the thing, though.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm from the hood, dude. I grew up on Cape Cod,

[Ronan]

Hyannis

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Sandwich, which is a. I know. It's not the hood.

[Dana Beers]

I'm kidding.

[Ronan]

My grandma, that's where my mom's from, is Sandwich.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

All right, so sandwich country store. It's not like, overly nice. And then we moved to hang on.

[Ronan]

One of the nicest places I've ever been. We used to spend our whole summer.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

The drug capital world, dude. We grew up on the Cape in like a, you know, middle class home. And then my mom remarried to a guy in Hingham, my stepdad, and he. And then we moved from Hingham after four years because, like, we don't fit in here.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. So it's like. We're not Hingham people. They're way richer than us. And you're. You're a deluxe dude.

[Ronan]

Cape. The Cape does have crazy drug problems.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It does, very.

[Ronan]

Especially that, like, that the general, like Hyannis. Yeah, Hyannis is. Hyannis is worse than like, most like states, like West Virginia.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It's really bad.

[Ronan]

It's really bad.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

What is it, like heroin?

[Ronan]

Yeah, everyone's on here.

[Francis]

You went to school with or in heroin, kids?

[Ronan]

I went. I didn't go to school in Hyannis, but my. My sister's husband did and my mom did and like, they both have, like, crazy stories about like, teachers getting just carried out midday.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

What?

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, dude. So next time you want to say to ching them. I'm from the streets, bro.

[Ronan]

Of Sandwich. Did you ever go to the Dead End?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No.

[Dana Beers]

The coldest of Hingham.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

My dad still lives in barstool.

[Ronan]

Barnstable is a great area.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It is.

[Dana Beers]

You sound really nice.

[Francis]

All of them, except for Sandwich. No, no, it sounds like ass.

[Ronan]

No, Sandwich is really nice.

[Francis]

I know, but they have to rename

[Dana Beers]

it from the rough parts of uncrustable.

[Ronan]

Isn't that where that shark attack was where that guy died, like a couple years ago?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Probably.

[Francis]

I'm from the Cuban part of Sandwich,

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

You know, Sandwiches. Sandwiches.

[Dana Beers]

Son of a Boy dad fans, it's

[Sponsor Voice 2]

summer, which means it's time to wear Fabletics. I'm wearing their shorts right now. I absolutely love them. They're lightweight, they're breathable, and they drive pretty quickly, which is really important in summer because I like to do lots of things outside. I go from the golf course to the tennis court to the lake for a swim. I cold plunge. I'm always sweating and I'm wet and I have to be able to take things off and throw new things on all the time. Which is perfect with Fabletics because as I signed up as a new VIP, I got 70 to 80% off of everything.

[Dana Beers]

It's an unbelievable deal.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

And I need lots of different outfit changes in summer because I'm constantly outside doing active things. I do more laundry in the summer than at any other time of the year and I'm constantly changing clothes around and that's why I absolutely love Fabletics. [e-mail] boydad and get 70 to 80% off of everything. When you sign up as a new vip. Be sure to take a quick style quiz and select boy dad because that's how you will unlock that offer. There's a limited time offer, so don't wait. That's fabletics.com boydad for 70 to 80% off of everything. When you sign up as a new

[Ronan]

vip, would you say. Do you think you like Chicago more than. Than you liked New York or you were. You were always kind of in Jersey though.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I was. I lived in New York for three years and then I went to Jersey for two years and then Long Island. I. I like Chicago. I think there's. The people are nicer just in terms like the actual city.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Not the people in the offices. It's just. I never love New York. I don't know, I never like. I'm more of a Boston, Massachusetts guy and I never like fit in in New York City, but I feel like it's a little. It's a little cleaner here.

[Ronan]

Definitely

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

slower paced. I don't even know what that means. No, I would agree.

[Ronan]

It's definitely worse, but I don't know if I like that about people.

[Francis]

Walk slower on the sidewalk.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. I, I never like found like a neighborhood that I loved in New York City. So I don't know, maybe I didn't give it a good chance, but it is.

[Francis]

There's a lot of neighborhoods. It's like you can't like try living in all the neighborhoods.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Francis]

You kind of have to Be like, this is my best guess of a neighborhood that might be decent.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, I was wrong.

[Francis]

It's like, okay, I'll try another one. In one year.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, I was in Astoria, and then I was in West Village, which I didn't hate.

[Francis]

This is sassy stomping ground.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

I'm.

[Ronan]

I was in West Village. Now I'm in Astoria.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Really?

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. And when I was in the story, I lived with a kid and his girlfriend. I've told this story, the Johnny.

[Dana Beers]

That's okay. We tell a lot of stories. A few times on the Lizard.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

And so I live with this kid that I went to high school with, but I didn't really know him. He was like, just kind of like two years below me and his girlfriend. And then he moved out in the middle of the fucking lease. It was just me and the girl.

[Dana Beers]

They broke up.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, he just moved to France.

[Dana Beers]

France?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, it was me and the girl.

[Ronan]

That's crazy.

[Francis]

What'd you do?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know. She had a little lizard dude. Remember the lizard?

[Dana Beers]

Johnny.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Johnny and. I don't know, we just chilled.

[Dana Beers]

Did you hook up with her? No.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No.

[Ronan]

Was it.

[Dana Beers]

You try?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No.

[Dana Beers]

Why not?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Super nice.

[Francis]

But, like, it would have been uncomfortable.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Like that.

[Francis]

That would have been.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

We just didn't really cross paths much. Like, I would get home from work and she'd be. I think she had a weird work schedule, so we just didn't really see each other.

[Dana Beers]

Was she really sad when the boyfriend left, or did she break up with him?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know. I don't want to be careful what I'm saying here.

[Dana Beers]

But that's not what this podcast is about.

[Ronan]

I feel like neither of these people will ever listen to this show, ever.

[Francis]

The French dude.

[Ronan]

There's a guy in one in France.

[Francis]

Sorry.

[Ronan]

A girlfriend and a girl with a lizard in Astoria. That's not the demographic that we're recording for right now.

[Francis]

There's no Astoria lizard.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Listen to this show.

[Francis]

For sure. And that is a demographic.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. I want to say. I want to say, like, well, cut it.

[Ronan]

Well, don't go crazy.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, no, no. This isn't. This isn't even crazy. What do you mean this isn't crazy? I want to say, like, there'd be times where there'd be, like, a little bit of sexual. Sexual tension. Or like, maybe I was like, oh, she looks horny. But I don't think that ever actually happened.

[Dana Beers]

She looks horny.

[Ronan]

Not even just like I want to her. Like, it's like, she looks like.

[Dana Beers]

See the swelling of her outer labia through her pants.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't.

[Dana Beers]

I'm doing something right.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

The more I think of it, I don't think, no, it might have been in my life.

[Dana Beers]

Seen a woman that looked horny.

[Sponsor Voice]

God.

[Dana Beers]

I've. I've suspected this is what through actions and words and. And body language maybe, but never been

[Francis]

like, whoa, was she rubbing her nipples?

[Dana Beers]

She come home with a tongue piercing? What are you talking about? Look Torny.

[Ronan]

My God, she looks horny. Not even like, nothing about you or being like, I'm attracted.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I was probably just horny, dude.

[Ronan]

Yeah, it sounds like.

[Dana Beers]

Oh my God, look at her over there begging for it. If I didn't know any better, completely not horny. I'd have to protect myself here.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

There's never any. There's never any like, even close to probably like, touch it. There wasn't even a touch, dude.

[Dana Beers]

Was it.

[Ronan]

Was it like. Like, was it weird living with just a girl, though? Like, were you like.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It was at first, but she was super cool, so it was just like. It's kind of chill.

[Ronan]

Did you guys ever get in like arguments about like, dishes and rent? Rent?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No.

[Dana Beers]

Who's feeding the lizard?

[Ronan]

Yeah, can you feed Johnny?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Johnny? No. Johnny. Would she. Crickets, dude, he just. Oh, that's brutal.

[Francis]

She had to bring home live crickets or would she order them? I don't know. Or would you get them from petsmart?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, she just kind of did her thing with Johnny and that's good.

[Ronan]

You never even had to see the crickets.

[Francis]

No. Keeping crickets in your house to feed to your lizard later is barbaric.

[Ronan]

That have to like, feed their like snakes mouth mice. Yeah, that shit's just. They have like. It's like in the freezer. They just got a bag of mice.

[Dana Beers]

I fed. I fed my snake live mice.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Really?

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Yeah. See that's like.

[Dana Beers]

That's the best part was the whole reason I had the snake once every

[Ronan]

two weeks bring up in a box. I don't know if there's anything on the. On the. On earth that I. That I would hate less.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, it was awesome than that. It was the violence of nature.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

And I had a friend.

[Ronan]

I hate snakes. I fucking hate snakes. Terrify me.

[Dana Beers]

I would bring. I would have my friends over for feedings.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Francis]

How often were the feeding?

[Dana Beers]

Once every two weeks.

[Ronan]

The snake only eats once every two weeks?

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Francis]

How many mice?

[Dana Beers]

Mice. The mouse was huge, so it would

[Francis]

eat one big mice every one big mouse every two weeks. Oh, my God.

[Ronan]

That's.

[Dana Beers]

That's the mice Weren't that big. They were just. In comparison to the snake's body. It was.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Were they alive?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

That.

[Ronan]

Dude, how did you get. How did you get the mice?

[Dana Beers]

You buy them at the pet store alive?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

So you went to a pet store to buy a mouse that someone would typically buy as a pet?

[Dana Beers]

No, they wouldn't buy. Buy these. They wouldn't buy these.

[Ronan]

That makes sense. I thought you were just going to the pet store and be like, I know they have, like. They have, like, mice and rats as people have.

[Francis]

But. But I'm saying, like, is it bred differently? Like, you're bred to be food?

[Dana Beers]

They had some kind of a name for it. Were they dumber, Like a feeder mouse or something? They're just, like, little and they don't matter.

[Francis]

But that. Not like the big mice that are worthy of a home.

[Dana Beers]

These mice had no prospects. They weren't like. They weren't athletic. They weren't.

[Francis]

They're undocumented.

[Dana Beers]

Firing. They weren't. Yeah, they're like. They're. They didn't know their parents. These were wayward teens who were just

[Francis]

getting snapped up and put in.

[Dana Beers]

They rolled out of the system. There wasn't room for them.

[Francis]

That's like a Mayan, like, sacrifice ritual. Yeah, like, just like, rounding up local people, running around and bringing them for their blood sacrifice.

[Dana Beers]

Well, if the. If you don't feed the mice to the snake, then the snake dies, and the snake, the. The mouth. The snake needed the live mice. It wouldn't have eaten a dead one.

[Ronan]

It needs the hunt.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. And it was a cons. It was a constrictor. I had a ball python. So you take the mouse, then they're nocturnal, right?

[Ronan]

Not have been friends.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, I know.

[Ronan]

I hate this. Like, that is like, my worst nightmare.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It sounds. It sounds psycho, dude.

[Dana Beers]

Well, it was. Here's the thing. My fourth and fifth grade teacher, Bob. Only he was my homeroom guy. So it was like, in his. He was like my guy. So he was also the science teacher, and he would. He had snakes. And every two weeks, they would do the feedings, and we would watch it at school. And I thought that was cool.

[Ronan]

That makes sense.

[Dana Beers]

So then I wanted my own snake, and I got a ball python and would go to the pet store and get the mice, and you drop it into the sort of tank, and it's asleep. The mouse, the snake is asleep. It's the middle of the day. But it sort of starts to sense some sort of change in the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the mouse thinks, oh, this is my new Home.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

And it starts to explore.

[Francis]

It's never seen a snake in its life.

[Dana Beers]

No. And it thinks, okay, this is where I live. Let me check out my newt digs. And it starts to go to the corners and get bolder. Oh, what's that? Cool little rope toy curled up. Maybe that's for me to play on. And now the snake is uncurling, and it's sensing, and the mouse is kind of coming closer, and then all of a sudden, wham. And it wraps all of its coils around its neck in a blink of an eye, by the way, and squeezes the life out of it. And you could see its little paws just twitching, trying to get away.

[Ronan]

This is insane.

[Dana Beers]

It's. It's jiu jitsu method of trying to tap out, but it can't. There's no referee. No, this is not Royce Gracie, you know, this is violence 101. And then once it's dead, it starts to swallow it whole. And then you see it pass through its body.

[Ronan]

Yeah, that's nasty.

[Francis]

Good God.

[Dana Beers]

No, the only nasty part was the. Of the. Because then it comes out the other. That was gross. And also, like, when it sheds its skin, that was kind of gross, too.

[Ronan]

Yeah, that's nasty.

[Dana Beers]

I don't like it. Yeah, no, it wasn't pellets. It was, like, a gooey mass.

[Francis]

That's even grosser.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. What once was a mouse now is destroyed plasma.

[Francis]

And that year, you were voted most likely to kill a mouse by hand of a snake.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Dana, you gotta.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I think you gotta go.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I gotta go, boys. That was so much fun. I wish I didn't have to leave.

[Francis]

Should we. Should we just keep going for a couple minutes? We. We got a couple minutes after. After Daniel.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

See you, fellas.

[Dana Beers]

That's okay. You can go. Thanks for doing it, man.

[Francis]

That was a.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

A.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That was a lot of laughs.

[Francis]

Yeah. Longer than last time. Still not a full episode, but longer than last time.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I had tears in my eyes. A couple points. Laughing.

[Dana Beers]

You're a good man. All right.

[Francis]

See, boys, Check out Dana Francis's series that they have coming up.

[Dana Beers]

All right.

[Francis]

Unbelievable stuff. What a week out here.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, it's been a fun week.

[Francis]

What a. What an absolute blitz of a week.

[Dana Beers]

We work with some really funny, great people. We really do.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Yeah. That is nice.

[Dana Beers]

It's just they're never around us.

[Ronan]

What do you think? What do you think about. What do you think about this flight, Francis?

[Francis]

You guys are not.

[Dana Beers]

I'm hoping for the best man. I really am. I'm Just gonna hope for the best.

[Francis]

Downpour outside.

[Dana Beers]

We're just gonna try to hope for the best.

[Ronan]

I just wish that they would. That they would tell us before we go to the airport. Because if we have to go all the way to o' Hare and it gets canceled, well, then we're gonna just

[Dana Beers]

stay at an airport hotel out there. We're not gonna come back.

[Francis]

True.

[Dana Beers]

Unless you want to come back.

[Ronan]

We still have our rooms is the thing.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, I forgot about that. Well, that would be convenient. Whatever. We'll figure it out. I'm not worried about it.

[Francis]

It's pouring outside and Francis was like. Or Frank the tank was like. Do you think there's. There's a poncho or a trash bag in here? Because he was just about to go do his 30,000 steps in the rain, and I got him a trash bag.

[Dana Beers]

Wait a minute. It is it actually 30, 000 steps.

[Francis]

Last week he did 30000 steps for three days in a row. Now he's like getting towards 30000 steps.

[Dana Beers]

Do you know how many steps? 30, 000 steps.

[Francis]

It's a half marathon. It's over a half marathon every day of walking.

[Dana Beers]

That is so preposterous. And that amount of water, rain or

[Francis]

shine, he's getting, getting it in, getting it in.

[Dana Beers]

Someone's good for him. Man, that's nuts.

[Ronan]

I've gone on 14 mile hikes and not had 30000 steps at the end of the day.

[Dana Beers]

I've played 36 holes of walk, not had 30000 steps.

[Francis]

30, 000 is nuts.

[Ronan]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, maybe it. Maybe I've had 30000 steps. If I've done 36.

[Francis]

Do you remember what it was going tip to tip of Manhattan. I feel like that was like 60000 or something. Maybe not 42. 42, which is a lot. It's hefty. What are you boys doing over the fourth of July?

[Ronan]

I'm going to Wyoming. Well, actually, I'm going to Wyoming after

[Dana Beers]

the fourth of July.

[Francis]

True. What are you going to do for America's 250th birthday?

[Ronan]

I. I don't know. To be honest, I got. I got no plans. Probably see some fireworks.

[Francis]

My plan is to not forget the men who died and gave this life to me.

[Ronan]

Exactly.

[Francis]

Francis, are you doing anything?

[Dana Beers]

I'm doing a Gettysburg reenactment.

[Ronan]

Oh, very nice. That's actually a great way to, you know, celebrate.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Oh, beer's is back.

[Dana Beers]

Well, unfortunately, the same is true for us.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

What, you don't need me anymore?

[Dana Beers]

We were on to other things.

[Francis]

We're talking about what we're doing over the Fourth of July. Surely you have plans to celebrate America's 250th.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, we were talking about healthy eating habits. So not for you?

[Ronan]

You going back to Hingham?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm actually going to good old Cape Cod. Oh, hell yeah. Dude. Let's talk Cape. More cape boys.

[Ronan]

It's a great, great place to celebrate the 4th. It is unbelievable place.

[Dana Beers]

Cape Cod. More like cake. Cob. Eating a cake in the form of a cob of corn.

[Francis]

Cake on the cob, a Cobb salad with cake in it.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

What the is a Cobb salad, by the way?

[Dana Beers]

It's a delicious salad.

[Ronan]

Great. Probably my favorite salad.

[Dana Beers]

It's the most hearty salad, I would say. Usually has a hard boiled egg. Bacon for you.

[Ronan]

Oh, tomatoes.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

My number nine food.

[Dana Beers]

Blue cheese crumbles.

[Francis]

You say that's your number nine food?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Here we go.

[Francis]

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's just my number nine food.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah. Ten is chicken tiki masala. Nine is bacon. Eight is jambalaya. Seven is bagel and cream cheese. Six is spongebob Mac and cheese. Five is French onion soup. Four is pizza. Three is shit. What is three?

[Dana Beers]

Chinese?

[Ad/Promo Voice]

[Francis]

Cheeseburger.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, I don't love cheeseburgers.

[Dana Beers]

Steak.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Two. I know. Two is buffalo chicken calzone from. From like a Greek style place in Massachusetts. And number one is cinnamon buns. What is number three? Chicken parm.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

Wow. What an unbelievable list.

[Sponsor Voice]

Good for you.

[Francis]

And that's. That's public knowledge.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That's off the top.

[Ronan]

You guys ever have a buffalo chicken calzone from Massachusetts, bro?

[Dana Beers]

I actually have.

[Ronan]

They're phenomenal.

[Dana Beers]

I actually have. We had a.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

A.

[Dana Beers]

There was a great pizza place.

[Francis]

What do you mean? From Massachusetts?

[Ronan]

Like the Greek.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Greek style, like the New York style is they put like rad cheese in it. Get that out of here. Yeah, it's.

[Francis]

It's.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know how to explain it, but that is. No, it's just mozzarella on top. You put the ingredients inside. It's basically like a.

[Ronan]

It's like a sub.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It's like a pizza, like, sub.

[Francis]

Interesting.

[Ronan]

Yeah, it's so good.

[Francis]

What makes it Greek and what makes it like New England style?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know.

[Francis]

I don't know.

[Ronan]

I know is that there was one. There was like two pizza places in my town growing up, and one of them was a Greek pizza place. And we used to get buffalo chicken calzones from there, like, every day.

[Dana Beers]

There was an amazing pizza place up up by the quad in Cambridge that we would order from. And I can't remember. Maybe it was. Maybe it was in Somerville.

[Ronan]

Regina's? No, Geno's.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It's kind of like a roll in New York, you know?

[Francis]

Oh, like a pepperoni roll.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, it's kind of like that where

[Francis]

it's all baked in, but it's like a smaller part of the pizz. Yeah, that's like, cooked in a pizza oven.

[Ronan]

Yep, exactly.

[Francis]

It is.

[Ronan]

It is like that. It's.

[Francis]

That's your number three. Cinnamon buns are so good, too.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

If you get a good bun, I

[Francis]

mean, Cinnabon is good.

[Dana Beers]

Cinnabon's the unbelievable.

[Francis]

Yeah, Cinnabon is really good. Even from the Cinnabon trucks, which are, like, a problem in New York. The Cinnabon trucks, I've never seen them. They're. Every once you get. Once you start seeing them, you won't stop. Really? They're everywhere.

[Dana Beers]

Are you talking about that from the chain?

[Francis]

Yes, but it's like Cinnabon trucks, they'll just post up somewhere, and there's just like, tons of them.

[Dana Beers]

I've never seen that in my life. Here's one in Dumbo on.

[Francis]

On Washington street every Saturday and Sunday, parked right by the aloe.

[Ronan]

Have you ever seen the episode of Louis where he's getting this cinnamon, cinnamon? And he's. And they're like. The lady's like, what do you want for, like, your icing? Like, we can give you, like, one pump, two pumps, and if you pay $5, like, you can just put your mouth under the pump, and we'll just hold it down. And he'. Like, I guess I'll do the third one. And she's like, I was kidding. We don't. We don't do that.

[Dana Beers]

Who was it he. Who had the. The standup bit about getting Cabon? He called it a landed when he landed at the airport. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ronan]

He's got a new special coming out on Netflix.

[Francis]

I heard it's dark.

[Ronan]

I saw the trailer, like, looked. It looked funny.

[Francis]

As good as Hinchcliff's?

[Ronan]

It might. Might be.

[Francis]

I guess we'll never know.

[Ronan]

We'll never know.

[Francis]

Damn. A nice cinnamon bun. There are trash cinnamon buns, but anything about. Anytime you get to the center of a cinnamon bun.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Oh, my God.

[Francis]

My cinnamon bun intake has gone up so much since having kids, and I. Because it's just. I buy One under the guise of sharing it with them. But then I just. I take the best parts for myself.

[Dana Beers]

It's the. It's the artichoke heart of cholesterol.

[Francis]

It really is.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Francis]

So nice.

[Ronan]

I think my favorite food is shrimp cocktail.

[Francis]

Airy shrimp cocktail.

[Ronan]

Yeah, exactly. It's just so good.

[Francis]

It's like. It's interesting because it's like there's nothing to it.

[Dana Beers]

Well, the.

[Ronan]

It's the sauce.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

It's the.

[Ronan]

The shrimp.

[Dana Beers]

It's just perfect.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm gonna be honest with you. That's a shitty number one food.

[Ronan]

No, no, no, no.

[Francis]

It is. There's nothing to it. It's not, like, prepared a certain way. There's nothing.

[Ronan]

I like the sauce, and I like shrimp.

[Dana Beers]

You know what mine is?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

What if there was no sauce?

[Ronan]

Then, no.

[Dana Beers]

Okay.

[Ronan]

I still like shrimp, but it wouldn't be my number one.

[Dana Beers]

I think mine. Mine is quinoa.

[Ronan]

Sorry.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't know why.

[Dana Beers]

That's okay. I say things like that to you all the time. No, sorry.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That was me.

[Dana Beers]

You don't have to apologize.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah, but I'm not. I don't usually do that, too. What do you mean? Caught up in the podcast?

[Francis]

This is international.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't usually. You call. I've never called you a. That's for sure. Hilarious.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

He. He.

[Dana Beers]

He says it's grain bowls that I eat, but that's usually what the quinoa is in. Bird seed. He calls it. Calls it bird seed.

[Francis]

What's your favorite food?

[Dana Beers]

Strawberry rhubarb pie.

[Ronan]

It's a solid pick.

[Dana Beers]

I'm a big pie guy.

[Francis]

We kind of got a strawberry rhubarb thing the other night.

[Dana Beers]

We did? Yeah.

[Francis]

And you didn't order that. I ordered that. I know you got a cheesecake.

[Dana Beers]

I just don't. I don't assume that anyone else likes rhubarb as much as I do. I think it's a root. It's this long red stalk that's. You can't eat it unless you cook it and add a ton of sugar. It's also poisonous to dogs. Did you know that?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No, I didn't.

[Francis]

Yeah, it's good to know. I'm scared to give my dog anything.

[Dana Beers]

I think it's poisonous. The dogs, the leaves. Now, I'm not sure, but something like that.

[Ad/Promo Voice]

That.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah. We have a bunch growing on our property in Maine.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Nice.

[Francis]

You got to get up to Maine and try his barb.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I. I. As a New Englander, I've never been to Maine.

[Dana Beers]

I named my dog Rhubarb.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Really?

[Dana Beers]

Ruby for short.

[Ronan]

Wow.

[Dana Beers]

And then she was taken in the divorce, so now I don't think about her. This makes me too sad.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

How. How was that? I'm sorry? Not the divorce, specifically. The dog park part.

[Francis]

Huh.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

How was that?

[Dana Beers]

Losing the dog?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I'm not trying to be funny.

[Ronan]

No.

[Dana Beers]

In truth, I'm being ridiculous. I could. I let my ex wife have the dog and, and she wanted her. Because I can't. Look, I can't have a dog by myself. I travel endlessly for work.

[Ronan]

Yeah, that's true.

[Francis]

How was that?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I didn't mean the dog.

[Francis]

How he's getting divorced. Is that good?

[Ronan]

Oh, I meant to ask you about that. Two years later.

[Francis]

Is that fun?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Yeah.

[Dana Beers]

All right.

[Francis]

Legal Zoom is calling me. The fuck could Legal Zoom want with me?

[Ronan]

Who knows?

[Francis]

The last thing I need is a Legal Zoom on my ass, bro. Do you feel like you should I. Can I spray this yet?

[Ronan]

No, no, it reeks. You don't still smell it? No, all I can smell is that.

[Dana Beers]

I'm sure that's a sponsor.

[Ronan]

No, I'm saying it reeks. As in it not in a bad way. I'm saying all I can.

[Dana Beers]

I don't think anything has ever reeked.

[Ronan]

Well, I guess.

[Dana Beers]

Boy, what are you cooking? It reeks in here.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I guess.

[Dana Beers]

The love and cheese.

[Ronan]

It smells very potent is what I meant. As in I think all you need is one to two sprays.

[Francis]

Don't wave it on me.

[Sponsor Voice]

Why?

[Ronan]

I don't want it. Your sponsor. It's not my sponsor.

[Francis]

I have enough.

[Dana Beers]

Do you ever think about getting a food sponsor?

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I would, I would love. Our podcast has a couple.

[Dana Beers]

But no, I mean in like the AA sense. Someone that you can kind of. Someone to hold you accountable, to keep you honest. I mean, who's been through what you've.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

That was a thing? Yeah. Like.

[Dana Beers]

Oh, I'm sure there is. Eaters Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I, I. Yeah. Eat too much. Francis. I don't want to tell you, dude.

[Dana Beers]

Well, I'll be your sponsor.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I don't want to eat your though.

[Ronan]

Yeah, it's true.

[Francis]

Francis eats pretty good.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

I know he does. What's the fun of that?

[Dana Beers]

No, I mean, like, he's fun fun, not just healthy.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

No. I went to dinner with you in Chicago two months ago.

[Dana Beers]

That was really fun.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

One of the best dinners I've ever had. And it's things I would never. Order. Order.

[Dana Beers]

There you go.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

And it was all wonderful food.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah.

[Ronan]

Yeah, that's what it was when we went. We went out. I literally didn't know what I was looking at on the menu.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Like, fish.

[Ronan]

It's a lot of, like, different fish. Not the standard fish, red fish, fish.

[Dana Beers]

It's like, the stuff called fish that we had.

[Francis]

This rare, ancient food that is in the Bible.

[Ronan]

It's fish that you've never seen or heard of ever.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Sea bass and.

[Ronan]

Yeah.

[Francis]

Oh, no, that's another common one.

[Ronan]

Yeah, you're almost there there. You've got the right idea.

[Dana Beers]

We had. We had unusual fish, red fish, one

[Ronan]

fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, cod, Sam salmon. The that was on the menu of the place that we went was, like, deep sea.

[Dana Beers]

I've never heard of any of it.

[Ronan]

Yeah, like, that's not here.

[Dana Beers]

Yeah, it's cool.

[Ronan]

It was cool.

[Dana Beers]

We have to go.

[Ronan]

Yeah, we got to get going.

[Francis]

Okay. Good luck, boys.

[Dana Beers]

Thank you, Dana. Thanks, Dana.

[Guest (possibly Frank or Frank the Tank)]

Thanks, guys.
