The hosts also touch upon their plans for Halloween costumes, highlighting their family's creativity and the anticipation surrounding their children's costume choices.

Oh, PJ's does samples, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

We used it. Yeah. Hell, yeah. We used to go. When it was just Becca, Miles and I, we used to go at Costco at, like, noon. And that would be our lunch is. We would go and just fucking sample from the 90 different things that they would have.

[Joey Santagato]

Hey, man, you're not homeless, okay? That is an insane act to be doing as a family. We would just go there, and that's our home.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, but Miles. Miles loved them. Miles loved it. He would walk around, he'd get so excited, and he'd say, oh, can we go to Costco for the examples? That's what he would call them, examples. And he's right. They are examples.

[Joey Santagato]

It honestly is like a shitty epcot, you know? Like, you get a bunch of different.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, dude. I'm gonna go to the meat department, and I'm gonna try these fucking birria tacos that they're making. And then I'm gonna go two aisles down, and I'm gonna try this fucking stinky cheese that they got. And then another three hours over there's coconut water.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

What do you mean, yeah?

[Joey Santagato]

It's the greatest place on earth. That's heavy.

[Joey Santagato]

Right? You know it's Disney.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

No, it.

[Frank Alvarez]

There. I'm gonna tell you something right now.

[Joey Santagato]

I haven't had a sample in so long.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're not in this stage of life yet. When you get into this stage of life of having children, you're gonna lose your mind. For Bluey. Bluey is the greatest kids piece of media that has come out possibly ever.

[Joey Santagato]

The dog.

[Frank Alvarez]

The dogs. It was family of dogs. Okay, all right. It is the cutest, but greatest. Like, it's not like a kid's show where it's just like, all right, well, it's a kid's show, bro. That thing will take Your heart. Rip it to shreds.

[Joey Santagato]

I don't. Kid shows don't do that for some reason.

[Frank Alvarez]

Dude. Rip it. There is an episode where Bluey's mom talks about, like, the feeling of competition with other parents. When Bluey started walking.

[Joey Santagato]

God damn, dude. Man. Real.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it is the. It is so Australia. You finally did something right. It is this crazy thing to say.

[Joey Santagato]

I mean, they've done other stuff.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like what?

[Joey Santagato]

Fucking.

[Frank Alvarez]

See? Shoes. What the hell is that?

[Joey Santagato]

That's when you drink a beer out of your shoe.

[Frank Alvarez]

Great, Joey, great.

[Joey Santagato]

Listen, if we ever do a show in Australia, they're not gonna let us leave without doing it. So wear your favorite pair of shoes.

[Frank Alvarez]

Okay. My cleanest pair.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'll buy a new pair that day. But if Costco has, like, a bluey decoration Christmas theme, I'm gonna buy everything and hoard it. Yeah, like an old white man. Right. With dead cats under newspapers. You know what I'm saying?

[Joey Santagato]

Now I'm a little confused, but I do get the sentiment.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're gonna get there. So just wait till you have a house, because then you're gonna grow and you're gonna get into the situation I'm in right now where I want to buy everything, everything. And my wife is like, we don't have enough space to have all this stuff.

[Joey Santagato]

I saw a TikTok the other day. It felt like it was 10 hours long, but I watched the entire thing and it was this woman setting up Halloween decorations in her front yard. It looks like a giant skeleton is crawling out of the ground. I'm like, this is awesome.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, those are cool. Those are cool. I saw one today. That is a 30 foot tall Jack Skellington. That's tall, not blow up.

[Joey Santagato]

That's bigger than your house, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, dude. It's huge.

[Joey Santagato]

Jesus.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm kind of about it, though.

[Joey Santagato]

You want a big, big jack? I would. Crazy.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, a little crazy. A little crazy. I don't know if I'm gonna go that far, but, like, I'm getting, like, a lot. Like, once the kids are older and it's a little easier to, like, set up and decorate and stuff like that. I'm going all out, baby.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't care.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. And you gotta. You're inside. You do a lot of inside stuff.

[Frank Alvarez]

We do a lot of insides. Well, the insides got. You know, that's where you're living most of the time.

[Joey Santagato]

Are you a napkin family? Like, do the napkins change?

[Frank Alvarez]

We don't have napkins. We have them.

[Joey Santagato]

My mom's a Napkin.

[Frank Alvarez]

One week we had napkins, but we stopped using them because Maeve would throw them everywhere.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, it's annoying.

[Frank Alvarez]

And we had, like.

[Joey Santagato]

But you have no napkins in general.

[Frank Alvarez]

We have paper towels. We use paper towels.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, you have no napkins.

[Frank Alvarez]

We have them. We just don't use them. There's literally bags of napkins in our back pantry.

[Joey Santagato]

Really?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. They just don't get touched.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, she just. She just rips them and throws them around.

[Frank Alvarez]

She just. They go everywhere. There's no point. Maeve is the most Goblin child that you could ever imagine.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

So there's no point of having anything like that because it will be all over the place.

[Joey Santagato]

I was asking more of, like, the holidays. Like, my mom always switches out the napkins.

[Frank Alvarez]

That'd be cute. We'll get there. We have, like, hand towels.

[Joey Santagato]

Hand towels. Of course.

[Frank Alvarez]

We got. We got Casper hand towels. We got Casper hand towels.

[Joey Santagato]

What do they look like?

[Frank Alvarez]

It's Casper with, like, a little, like, trick or treat. Jack o'lantern Bucket.

[Joey Santagato]

Are they white?

[Frank Alvarez]

No, they're black.

[Joey Santagato]

Okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

Or gray. Not white, though.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, it can't be white.

[Frank Alvarez]

But Casper's chilling. He's hanging out. He's like.

[Joey Santagato]

Do the kids like Halloween?

[Frank Alvarez]

Hell, yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

Nice. Becca's candy, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

Ruby's been asking for. She calls it Happy Halloween. She's been asking for it for months.

[Joey Santagato]

Do you have costumes planned out? I know you do.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's all done already.

[Joey Santagato]

Do the kids get a say, or is it just one?

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, no, not absolutely. Well, no, we have two costumes like, we have. So we're going to my nephew's birthday party, which I assume you'll be at, too.

[Joey Santagato]

When is that?

[Frank Alvarez]

After the weekend. After Radio City.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll be there.

[Frank Alvarez]

Which. Is that a costume party? Yes, it is.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, I have one in my closet.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, you're fine. We already figured it out, and I just want to throw this out there.

[Joey Santagato]

Go.

[Frank Alvarez]

I won. You say, I won. Becca and I won.

[Joey Santagato]

You know what?

[Frank Alvarez]

When you have kids, Joey, you're gonna find this. You're gonna want to turn them into, in some ways, little versions of yourself. Your interests, your likes.

[Joey Santagato]

For instance, you guys are a bunch of Pokemon.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, no, that'd be a good one, but no.

[Joey Santagato]

For instance, Batman.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Yep. Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

Tell me that Maeve is, like, the Penguin or something.

[Frank Alvarez]

No. So Ruby's Batman. Maeve, you're not Batman. Listen to me, baby.

[Joey Santagato]

Wow. You gave it up. That's a good dad.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's. I relinquish.

[Joey Santagato]

Wait, who Batman is. You're the fucking Riddler, aren't you?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yep. I am the Riddler.

[Joey Santagato]

She's Poison Ivy.

[Frank Alvarez]

She's Catwoman.

[Joey Santagato]

Okay?

[Frank Alvarez]

And then Ruby is Batman, Maeve is Robin, and then Miles is the Joker. I won, folks. And I didn't even say I won, because Becca is as big, if not bigger of a Batman fan than I am. Something shady you might not even know. We won.

[Joey Santagato]

Wow.

[Frank Alvarez]

We did it one day because, you know, the kids, like, they want to watch the same things they've been watching all the time. And one day I was like. I threw on the Batman show from We Were Kids. The animated one from Fox 5.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Hook, line, sinker, baby.

[Joey Santagato]

Hooked them. Have you ever showed them something? They were like, sucks.

[Frank Alvarez]

Power Rangers.

[Joey Santagato]

Damn.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. They don't care for Power Rangers. Pokemon. Honestly, they're not like, Ruby doesn't really show. She knows Pokemon. Pikachu. I'll put it on. Get it. It's the fuck off my tv.

[Joey Santagato]

Kind of racist against Japanese people, when you think about it. To hate Pokemon. When you really think about it, if you sit with it for a bit, it feels like it could be racially charged.

[Frank Alvarez]

Okay, I'll lose this one. Okay. All right. But you'll see, you're gonna make your kids want to be a little version to you. Like, they're gonna like the same things you like. Like, they're gonna come out and they're gonna have, like, fucking, like, paddock pajamas and shit like that. Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

You know. You know.

[Frank Alvarez]

Exactly. Your baby's pacifier is gonna be fucking Rolex.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, the bottles are gonna be all kith.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, 100%. Yeah, I know. But that is exciting. That is nice. You guys usually do, like, a whole family thing every year, right?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. I think this year, though, Ruby, out of nowhere said she wants to be a pumpkin, which is the cutest fucking thing in the world. So I think for, like, that Miles wants to be Inspector Gadget. Ruby wants to be a pumpkin.

[Joey Santagato]

That's still a thing.

[Frank Alvarez]

He watches the show from when we were kids.

[Joey Santagato]

Is there any modern TV that is on in your house besides Bluey? Everything you call their house, it's from the 90s.

[Frank Alvarez]

Bluey. Octonauts.

[Joey Santagato]

Who's that?

[Frank Alvarez]

The Octonauts. You don't know the Octonauts?

[Joey Santagato]

No.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm triggering.

[Joey Santagato]

There's eight astronauts.

[Frank Alvarez]

There is a home of. There's someone who's watching this right now that I said that. And there's like, oh, fuck. Because their kids are walking in, like, octo knots. What the hell Is that Octonauts? They're like little, like little like deep Sea diver, explorer characters.

[Joey Santagato]

Fire. Yeah, my nephew is really into paw patrol.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't care.

[Joey Santagato]

Okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

Paw patrol is in our house too. You know, Rebel Chase, Rocky Zuma. Paw patrol. We're on a roll. Here we go. A paw patrol. Oh, I got it. But yeah, it's a lot of stuff. What's wrong with that?

[Joey Santagato]

And then Beetle Borgs and.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, we tried putting on Beetleborgs, but it's not available anywhere to watch for free. And I'm not buying the whole season for 3.99 on Amazon Prime.

[Joey Santagato]

$4. That's where you draw the line. Yeah, no wonder, bro. This kid's going and having lunch with his family at Costco and eating the samples. He's not paying $4 for something. Are you fucking kidding me? What?

[Frank Alvarez]

Bitch, Bitch.

[Joey Santagato]

That shit was probably $50 that you're holding right now.

[Frank Alvarez]

This is a gift.

[Joey Santagato]

From who?

[Frank Alvarez]

A Costco sample? No, my sister in law. But since we're on the topic. I keep winning, baby. I keep winning. I'm on a roll. I'm fucking unbeaten right now. Yeah, ask. Go ahead.

[Joey Santagato]

How are you be unbeaten.

[Frank Alvarez]

I did it.

[Joey Santagato]

What'd you do?

[Frank Alvarez]

I saved Red Lobster, folks.

[Joey Santagato]

And the crowd goes crazy. What do you. What happened?

[Frank Alvarez]

They have exited bankruptcy. Oh, they're. They're back. They're back. Their banks are erupting.

[Joey Santagato]

Wait, how can they.

[Frank Alvarez]

Because they found someone to buy them and they're operating like they close a bunch of stores.

[Joey Santagato]

They got saved, so they're getting lean now.

[Frank Alvarez]

Now. Yeah, they basically. They went on the Biggest Loser.

[Joey Santagato]

They're like, yo, maybe we could close some of these Red Lobster.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe. Every town doesn't need four. Yeah, good thinking.

[Joey Santagato]

Every mall doesn't need three of.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, so I did it.

[Joey Santagato]

You brought it back?

[Frank Alvarez]

I single handedly, myself and Flavor Flav. So Flavor Flav, he bought it? No, but have you seen. He's been going to a bunch of Red.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And buying the whole menu.

[Joey Santagato]

Nice.

[Frank Alvarez]

So Red. Red Lobster. Just throwing this out there. Red Lobster. You sent me a really nice package and I really appreciate it myself. And Flavor Flav saved your company. Just want to put that out there.

[Joey Santagato]

Where's the closest Red Lobster to you?

[Frank Alvarez]

Within a 10 minute drive.

[Joey Santagato]

When was the last time you went. Yeah, exactly.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, hold on, you little whore.

[Joey Santagato]

You haven't even been there.

[Frank Alvarez]

You need to understand something.

[Joey Santagato]

You were doing it with energy.

[Frank Alvarez]

It was the vigor in which I was promoting Red Lobster that got people out in droves to save an American staple of middle income families, you know?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, I did it. What have you saved, bitch? What companies have you saved that have gone under?

[Joey Santagato]

That have gone under? None. I don't really know that I have done that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, 1 0.

[Joey Santagato]

God.

[Frank Alvarez]

Just wanted.

[Joey Santagato]

Honestly, Red Lobster is an interesting name for that store when you think about it. I don't know, it's just lobster. Like you're naming your thing Red Lobster.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, that's weird. Like, Outback Steakhouse is like. Okay. It's a steakhouse in the outback. And like, Red Lobster is just a thing.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, it's a thing that's cooked. Lobsters are not red until they're cooked and they become red.

[Joey Santagato]

Is that true?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, they're like brownie and spotty and stuff like that.

[Joey Santagato]

When you go into Red Lobster, is that the place where you're like, oh, I want that one.

[Frank Alvarez]

You can.

[Joey Santagato]

They have like a tank.

[Frank Alvarez]

They have a tank. Yeah. But you could do that at any, like, grocery store now. When's the last time you went to grocery store? Yeah, they have the grocery store near me. Then fuck your grocery store. But, like, there's shop rights and stop and shops by me that have lobster tanks.

[Joey Santagato]

Tanks, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And you go. Anytime I went with the kids, they love to watch it because they see the, you know, enslaved lobsters that are in there. Fucking.

[Joey Santagato]

How fun.

[Frank Alvarez]

A hospice, basically.

[Joey Santagato]

It's like where you think these are going. Fucking hell. In a little bit. Is there a thing that they can't feel pain or something? They have no pain receptors. Am I making that up?

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't know. I heard that there's like the, like, myth is that, like, you can hear them scream when you put them in the water.

[Joey Santagato]

I'll tell you this right now. I mean, lobster is, like, good, but I, like, I'm cool.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not cool with like, like, murdering it myself.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, like, yeah, I don't want to hear a thing scream. Definitely not.

[Frank Alvarez]

Imagine the scream is like, yo, chill with the hell.

[Joey Santagato]

Like a lobster just bugging out like that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Have you ever cooked crab, though?

[Joey Santagato]

I'll fucking cook it. I don't care what it's saying. To me, it tastes so good.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, like, you've cooked live crab.

[Joey Santagato]

No, I've never cooked it.

[Frank Alvarez]

I've cooked live crab.

[Joey Santagato]

You've cooked it? Where'd you get it? Where'd you get it?

[Frank Alvarez]

Miles caught him and brought them home.

[Joey Santagato]

And you had it snappy.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We put it in a bucket with ice.

[Joey Santagato]

Damn, that's kind of gnarly. Honestly.

[Frank Alvarez]

It is. They're pretty cool, the blue.

[Joey Santagato]

You put them in a bucket with ice. Does that, like, freeze them and neutralize?

[Frank Alvarez]

No, just they like to hang out a little bit, and then they chill until their death.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, so it's alive and going, and you just throw it into boiling water?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, Like, I can look at it in the eyes.

[Joey Santagato]

I always forget they have eyes.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, of course they have eyes. I look at it just like that.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, right.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, and then it's gone.

[Joey Santagato]

And just like that, it's over. Well, not before the suffering that occurs.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do they suffer, though?

[Joey Santagato]

Yes. You are boiling them alive.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's sad.

[Joey Santagato]

It is sad.

[Frank Alvarez]

But not king crabs, though. King crabs. They kill him with a knife before.

[Joey Santagato]

I mean, you gotta kill that thing with a fucking silver spike. What were you just talking about recently? Like, a giant king. Oh, Gordon Ramsay.

[Frank Alvarez]

Gordon Ramsay. There's this, like, this guy on. I think he owns a restaurant or something on Tick Tock who does, like, a really good Gordon Ramsay impression. I think it's called, like, the. You know what? I'm not even gonna say what his name might be, but something habibi's in there somewhere. So I don't want to offend anyone by saying something incorrect.

[Joey Santagato]

There is. There is a famous clip of Gordon Ramsay. If you guys haven't seen it, you should definitely look it up. But he goes to someone's restaurant, and then he calls them a French pig. And it's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, because you pig.

[Frank Alvarez]

You French pig.

[Joey Santagato]

It's like, the most intense thing. That show is so crazy. Gordon Ramsay just walking into a restaurant be like, dickhead. Like, to the main chef.

[Frank Alvarez]

That and bar rescue. They have to be produced.

[Joey Santagato]

That guy, too, because bugs, bro, John.

[Frank Alvarez]

Taffer will walk in, and he'll be.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, 2 inches from people's faces to.

[Frank Alvarez]

Walk in and go, you fucking asshole.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, run a business. You are.

[Frank Alvarez]

Your fat wife.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, yo job.

[Frank Alvarez]

Chill the fuck out, okay? There's no way that they have to be like.

[Joey Santagato]

They have to listen.

[Frank Alvarez]

The cameras are rolling. I'm gonna hamm it up for the cameras, but behind the scenes, I'll actually help you, bro.

[Joey Santagato]

Crazy of him just being like, you take another drink while you're working, you scumbag.

[Frank Alvarez]

There's patrons like, Kitchen Nightmares. I think the show that you're referencing, I went down, like, a rabbit hole one day and watched just, like, a ton of clips from that show. And he goes in and he's Just like, all right. He orders first. He's like, all right, I'm gonna take this. And then it comes out, and he's like, oh. Like, he'd never been. So like, come on. You know? And he gets back there, and he's like, let me see your fridge. This guy's on. He's got to be on coke, right? He's got to be on something.

[Joey Santagato]

He's doing something. He's. Oh, good catch, good catch, good catch. He almost knocked over his teeth, but.

[Frank Alvarez]

He'S all over the place. Then he sees it, and he's just like, oh, this is what you serve and people. You fucking piece of shit. Yeah, loads up, bro.

[Joey Santagato]

One time I was watching that show. Is it Kitchen Nightmare? He has, like, a bunch of people, like, who are like, competing also.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, that's Hell's Kitchen.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, Hell's Kitchen. So I was watching that. I saw a clip of it, and he, like, someone made some shit, and he's just, like, bringing it over to the chef, and he's like, look at this dickhead. And throws it out, right? And, like, throws the plate out. And then a woman who's just going to the restaurant gets out of her chair and, like, comes up to the counter. And I don't know whether she was complaining about the way he was, like, yelling or her food or whatever. This dude starts unloading on the customer.

[Frank Alvarez]

You fuck yourself. Like, you fucking yourself, cunt.

[Joey Santagato]

Get shout.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

Everyone can get it.

[Frank Alvarez]

I've seen it where it's like, there'll be, like, a woman who, like, sends it, because I think the Hell's Kitchen, it's a show, but also a restaurant that, like, you can go and technically be a part of the show, right?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And, like, someone will send the food back, and they'll be like, oh, it's overcooked. And he'll cut it open and be like, let's see. Oh, it's not. It's perfect. And sends it back. And he goes, send it back. And you let them know that they're fucking useless, you know? And it's just like, holy shit, dude. Say with John Taffer. I want. I want. I really, really, really, in college, tried to get Jon Taffer to go to a bar in my college town. It was the.

[Joey Santagato]

Why?

[Frank Alvarez]

Because it was the. It would. It would have been perfect. It was busted all the time for underage drinking. The people that were working there were drinking all the time. It was a shithole. It was, like, the ultimate dive bar. And, like, just to see him walk in and Just absolutely, verbally, these people. It would have been so fun. Dude.

[Joey Santagato]

Man, I love John Taffer, though. Is. He's. He get. You know, he gets in people's face like an inch from their face with his finger out and he's got like a. And yo, yo.

[Frank Alvarez]

He has like a, like a whiny, like, absolutely crazy.

[Joey Santagato]

He's like. I remember watching an episode of that one time and it was like this. It was at like a divey bar and everyone who was going there was like older and it was like off a highway. But it was a tiki themed bar.

[Frank Alvarez]

Mm. And bro, old people love tiki.

[Joey Santagato]

Why do they love it?

[Frank Alvarez]

Because they think they're in Hawaii.

[Joey Santagato]

You're still in fucking.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. You're still in fucking Middletown, New Jersey. Where do you think you're going?

[Joey Santagato]

They picked her in Hawaii.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

And like, he just hated that it was tiki themed. He's like, it makes no sense. You're incompetent. And I'm like, yo, this guy's crazy, bro. Yelling at people like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's fun. And he watches from the van. He's like, oh, my God, I love.

[Joey Santagato]

That they do a stakeout.

[Frank Alvarez]

He does a stakeout. Like, where could John Taffer be tonight?

[Joey Santagato]

The big white van.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, he's admitting thousands of, you know, sun rays basically from it. And he's just like, look at what they're doing here. He does. He loves doing that.

[Joey Santagato]

And it's like, no, this can't. They can't have this. It's always like. Also the most. I legit saw an episode one time where they were making. They were making burgers on a panini maker thing that wasn't even in the bar. You had to walk outside in the back and then it was plugged in and like on a table and they would make it.

[Frank Alvarez]

I will say I saw one that like, actually, like, made me, like, look at bars a little differently. And it was. He went to a bar and it was like an Irish pub theme or something like that. And they had Guinness on tap, but it was a bad tap. So, like the guy had a Guinness and ended up getting sick because of it. So since then I've been very apprehensive anytime I've been to a bar to like, have Guinness. Have a Guinness from a tap. If they have bottled different, but like tap Guinness, I'm like. Because apparently it's like, if it's bad, it's like, it'll make you fucking sick.

[Joey Santagato]

Although they must have been great In Scotland because I had about a thousand.

[Frank Alvarez]

I really wish someone could pull up the old clips of you talking how much you hate Guinness and now just doing a complete 180.

[Joey Santagato]

Well, I don't. I don't. I haven't had a Guinness in the United States other than when we had one that one time.

[Frank Alvarez]

We've had them every St. Patrick's Day.

[Joey Santagato]

No, we were young and you were like, we have to fit in. And I was like, okay, yes, we.

[Frank Alvarez]

Were 18 or 19 going to St. Patrick's Day. But like since then we've had it several times. And you've hated it then too.

[Joey Santagato]

I don't know that I've had that. Oh, you made me do a fucking. Whatever that shit is.

[Frank Alvarez]

Irish Car bomb. We've on this episode for St. Patrick's Day, have had Guinness and you're like, really?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, we did a Bob. Did we do a bomb?

[Frank Alvarez]

No, we just had Guinness. Joey, confused of confusion. Get to the ads, you fucking dweeb.

We love you and yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

So I don't know if you've been seeing this, Joe, but Taylor Swift has been in the news. Not because she is big time mega star.

[Joey Santagato]

She was at the Chiefs games.

[Frank Alvarez]

She was at the Chiefs games. Was she at both of them?

[Joey Santagato]

I believe so.

[Frank Alvarez]

I only saw her at the one. Was she the one against Cincinnati?

[Joey Santagato]

I don't know. I wasn't. I wasn't there.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, well. But she has been getting in the news for a lot of strange reasons, I guess. Well, one, she kind of laid claim to supporting Kamala Harris for her presidential bid. And then as a result, I think.

[Joey Santagato]

We can call off the election then, if she's going to do that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, you think It's. It's like, it's done.

[Joey Santagato]

I mean, she's like the most famous person in the room. She'd be like, here's what I'm doing.

[Frank Alvarez]

I have a feeling, though, to be fair, most of her fan base cannot vote.

[Joey Santagato]

That is fair.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, I don't think that they're currently of voting age.

[Joey Santagato]

Right.

[Frank Alvarez]

But as a result, she, like, penned this letter, you know, showing support for Kamala Harris and vp, you know, nominee Tim Walls. And she signed it, like, childless cat mom or something like that. Did you see what Elon Musk responded to that?

[Joey Santagato]

Why did she sign it like that?

[Frank Alvarez]

I think just being, like, funny, like, oh, like, just like, you know me, no kids, but I'm a cat mom.

[Joey Santagato]

Is she a cat mom?

[Frank Alvarez]

Apparently her cats are as famous as she is, dude.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Frank Alvarez]

But she has, like, famous cats.

[Joey Santagato]

She's got famous cats.

[Frank Alvarez]

Big old famous cats. Look up her cats.

[Joey Santagato]

Does she have. She better not.

[Frank Alvarez]

Be very careful with what you Google right now.

[Joey Santagato]

Taylor Swift. Pussycat. Taylor Swift cats.

[Frank Alvarez]

But like, I think, like Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynolds or Deadpool War. He wore a T shirt with her cats on it.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, Meredith, Olivia and Benjamin cats. Yeah, those are cats.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know how I feel, though, about pets with real human names, though.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. You don't like mine?

[Frank Alvarez]

Don't like them because Meredith is a.

[Joey Santagato]

Crazy name for a cat.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do something more fun like Scratchy. Scratchy bojangles.

[Joey Santagato]

It's not 1998 whiskey.

[Frank Alvarez]

Whiskey.

[Joey Santagato]

That's actually not a bad name.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. You know a brown cat.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

That has whiskers. This is a little whiskey.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, I like that.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, But Elon Musk responded to her. Did you see this?

[Joey Santagato]

No.

[Frank Alvarez]

He quoted it and he goes, fine, Taylor, I'll give you a child.

[Joey Santagato]

What? Elon Musk said that?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, dude.

[Joey Santagato]

That's a wild thing to say. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Anyone that is just doing anything but, like.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, dude. Also, can we just say this? And, like, I'm not trying to, you know, whatever, but Elon Musk looks like he's been inside of water for, like, a year.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know what he looks like? You remember the first X Men movie when they put.

[Joey Santagato]

This is gonna take a while.

[Frank Alvarez]

The first X Men movie where they put the. I think he's the governor or the mayor or the senator or whatever. He is in, like, the machine that turns him into a mutant and then he turns into, like, a jellyfish blob Water guy.

[Joey Santagato]

I do not know what that is, but he. He reminds me of.

[Frank Alvarez]

No one's gonna get.

[Joey Santagato]

Obviously not Frank. Thanks a lot.

[Frank Alvarez]

No one's gonna get that. You and I. I'll show you.

[Joey Santagato]

I. No, but I think he. When I see him sometimes. Remember when there was photos came out of Elon Musk and he was like, on the back of, like, of a yacht. Of a yacht or whatever. And I was like, that looks like my feet when I'm in water.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do you know remember those toys that we got when we were kids? And they were like. They came in, like, little pills, and you put them in water overnight, and then you wake up the next morning and they turn into, like, a big foam, like, action figure.

[Joey Santagato]

You're incapable of picking things that people will recognize your mind is. So.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's what he looks like.

[Joey Santagato]

He looks like that.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's what he looks like. He. No, not a Chia Pet. He looks like if you were like, to, like, watch a movie and, like, you were to find, like, A body floating in the water.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's okay.

[Joey Santagato]

You're getting better now. He looks like a John Doe is.

[Frank Alvarez]

What you're saying he looks like.

[Joey Santagato]

Stop. Now, by the way, Chia Pets.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes.

[Joey Santagato]

Does it have anything to do with chia seeds?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, that's what you put on it. Chia seeds, really? Yeah. Wait, so the hair is chia sprouting? Really? Chia seeds sprouting? Yeah, we had one at our house. We got rid of it.

[Joey Santagato]

Who was it?

[Frank Alvarez]

I think it was Groot.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, that's cool.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And it's like a red clay face or head or bust or whatever. And then you mix chia seeds with water, like, overnight. You know how it, like, gelatinizes?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then you just spread it and then you spray it with water every day, and it becomes hair. Hair.

[Joey Santagato]

I remember back in the day.

[Frank Alvarez]

Where'd you go?

[Joey Santagato]

I was gonna say, I remember the one on tv. I think it was Bill Cosby.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well.

[Joey Santagato]

And I was just gonna say it. I wasn't realizing what I was saying.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, you probably shouldn't, but I wonder.

[Joey Santagato]

What he's up to.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'll give you a couple of guesses. It rhymes with Schmrizen.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. Well, no.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, he was let out?

[Joey Santagato]

I think so. Well, did he, like, get out of prison? Was like, immediately, I'm going on a comedy tour. But I think that was fake.

[Frank Alvarez]

Um, I don't know. Honestly, I've kind of kept my nose out of anything to do with him, you know?

[Joey Santagato]

Who, Bill? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. But yes. Chia Seeds, Chia Pets. Remember those commercials when we were younger?

[Joey Santagato]

Ch.

[Frank Alvarez]

Ch. Ch.

[Joey Santagato]

Chia. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, shut up. I don't want a fucking Chia Pet of Bill Clinton.

[Joey Santagato]

I've never had. I've never had a Chia Pet.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, we had that, but, like, it was just, like a new fad.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

That people had and stuff like that, but Elon Musk.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. Honestly, saying, like, yo, Toastwift, I'll rail you, bra. That's kind of wild.

[Frank Alvarez]

What an insane thing to say. To just be like, fine, I'll give you a kid, like, any way you.

[Joey Santagato]

Look at has to clap back at that point.

[Frank Alvarez]

I. I mean, I would hope that her clap back is, you know, in a legal sense, you know, just being like.

[Joey Santagato]

Or if I'm Travis Kelsey, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

Ooh, bro. Travis Kelsey. I'm not going to. First of all, new heights. Good show. Congrats on the big deal. You haven't had us on yet. So I'm a little Pissed off about that.

[Joey Santagato]

Same.

[Frank Alvarez]

You gotta fight Elon Musk now, right?

[Joey Santagato]

That'd be cool.

[Frank Alvarez]

He was gonna fight Mark Zuckerberg.

[Joey Santagato]

Who?

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah, remember that?

[Joey Santagato]

Mark Zuckerberg beat the brakes off of Elon Musk.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't know. I mean, he has taken like Krav Maga and like, bjj, you know? Bjj, it's called.

[Joey Santagato]

No one calls it that. It's Jiu jitsu.

[Frank Alvarez]

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, though.

[Joey Santagato]

Bjj, is that. You said it like it's a bank.

[Frank Alvarez]

Okay, well, you just got to be like, yo, on some real shit, like, Travis Kelsey, we're not gonna tell you how to do things, but we certainly are gonna tell you.

[Joey Santagato]

I mean, he definitely got a call from someone being like, yo, cuz, like, Taylor Swift's probably like, she got a whole company that's like, yo, no one say anything to this guy, okay? It'd be hard for me to not be like, bro, no one's fucking your ugly ass.

[Frank Alvarez]

Not even just that, but like, your. Your fame and your notoriety is built off of your athletic prowess. Jason Kel, Travis Kelsey, Jason Kelsey, you get in there too. You know, the Kelsey's versus Elon Musk. And you. He could bring someone he wants. Who?

[Joey Santagato]

I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

And Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah, I'll take that. I'll take that tag team match any day. Yeah, dude, but Travis Kelsey, just be like, yo, Elon Musk, I'm rich because I'm a good athlete. Fight me for talking about my lady that way, right? Yeah, just fight him, dude.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

What's gonna happen? He wanted to fight Mark Zuckerberg in the Coliseum. You could fight him, dude.

[Joey Santagato]

Can you imagine if that happened? Elon Musk fought Mark Zuckerberg in the Coliseum.

[Frank Alvarez]

That would be like the end of times. Like, as soon as the bell rang, that's when the ground would open up. And then fucking Satan will come back and be like, you guys did this.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, not me. That's when the aliens, like, intervene. They're like, all right, we were like, joking, like, you don't have to do all this. Yeah. The simulation will literally pause, and whoever is running the simulation will be like, all right, we're. Relax.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, don't do this. It would be. The lizard overlords would come out and be like, all right, we. We're getting carried away here, folks.

[Joey Santagato]

Would be cool if we did have lizard overlords, wouldn't it? Can you imagine walking around, it's like. Like, imagine you become president, right? And then people Just let their hair down in the White House because you now you can know the secrets and they transform into lizards. I'd be like, this is fire.

[Frank Alvarez]

Would it be.

[Joey Santagato]

No.

[Frank Alvarez]

We put it like this, Joey.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You and I have openly discussed how we have had minor, like, minor existential crises and, like, bouts of, like, imposter syndrome. Because we're doing two shows at Radio City. Imagine becoming president of the United States and then finding out that the people around you are, in fact, lizard people. What?

[Joey Santagato]

Also, there's no way I could keep that secret, bro. I'm whistleblowing the shit out of that.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, on my deathbed, I'd be.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, yo, they are lizards.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And then people would be like, oh, he was old and senile. You never win. That's true. You never win, Joey. You wouldn't be able to get anything across.

[Joey Santagato]

Nah, I'd put it in, like, a time capsule.

[Frank Alvarez]

Also not gonna help, Joey.

[Joey Santagato]

What do you mean? What do you think? People?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And then just be like, oh, this is probably just nonsense.

[Joey Santagato]

No, I'd be like, bro, on this date, I just. Like, I'm healthy and they're all nuts. I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. People are really gonna think that that's true.

[Joey Santagato]

We saw the White House wasn't as big as I thought it was gonna be, but there's probably a lot of underground tunnels. That'd be cool.

[Frank Alvarez]

If I'll be honest, the streets we were walking on felt like they were on a stage. Did that make any. Does that make any sense to you?

[Joey Santagato]

What does that mean?

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, it felt like we weren't walking on the ground. It felt like we were walking on a stage. When we were walking around the White.

[Joey Santagato]

House, I felt like we were walking on the street.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, I felt like it was like I was, like, on a stage or something.

[Joey Santagato]

Why?

[Frank Alvarez]

It just felt that way.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, physically.

[Frank Alvarez]

Physically. Yeah. I can't explain.

[Joey Santagato]

The floor felt like a stage.

[Frank Alvarez]

I cannot explain it other than how I'm explaining it. It felt like I was walking on an elevated surface, not the ground.

[Joey Santagato]

Weird.

[Frank Alvarez]

It was just straight.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, do you mean like, it feels like it's hollow underneath?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Like there's stuff underneath it. Which there definitely is.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. There's gotta be, like, tunnels and, like, fucking. What's it called?

[Frank Alvarez]

Tunnels.

[Joey Santagato]

What's it called? Bunkers.

[Frank Alvarez]

Bunkers.

[Joey Santagato]

Bunkers.

[Frank Alvarez]

Bunkers. What makes a. But what's the difference between a bunker and a tunnel?

[Joey Santagato]

A tunnel leads to a bunker. A bunker you can hang out and.

[Frank Alvarez]

Back of a tunnel.

[Joey Santagato]

Do you ever hear about the Denver Airport conspiracy.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, I've heard about this. That it's a. Basically just like a weirdo. We were at the airport in Denver.

[Joey Santagato]

Wait, did I ever tell you about the Philadelphia Experiment?

[Frank Alvarez]

No. You're gonna freak me out with all this shit. Joey. I don't want to fucking hear about this.

[Joey Santagato]

My dad, bro, My dad called me one day. I don't even know how we got here, but he started talking about this. The Philadelphia Experiment, which is an alleged incident that took place in 1943 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The story claims that the US Navy made the USS Eldridge destroyer escort. That's all one word. It's a ship.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was going to say. You're saying things that I don't understand.

[Joey Santagato]

It. It. So the claim is that the U.S. navy made this destroyer ship invisible and teleported it from Philadelphia to Virginia. Okay. The reason why people have this, like, claim or whatever is like, apparently my. This is my dad now talking.

[Frank Alvarez]

So it's completely baseless.

[Joey Santagato]

They made a movie out of it, apparently, which doesn't help, but, like, my dad was showing me.

[Frank Alvarez]

They also made a movie out of Battleship Joey. But you don't see any of that being legitimate, that.

[Joey Santagato]

My dad thinks it was like this Ray. You know when people start talking about rays and you're gone.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

So he thinks it's this, like, Ray that like, it, whatever. And the crew that was on board, he's like, when the ship came back, they were, like, stuck in the walls. He showed me a picture and it was of, like, people's heads in a wall or something that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Joey, what picture did your dad show you?

[Joey Santagato]

I don't know. He was sending me links and shit. It was like conspiracy websites. It was fire.

[Frank Alvarez]

Don't start going down. Conspiracy fucking website.

[Joey Santagato]

You know, I just. I think it's fun. Is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I can't look at that stuff because I'll get too into it. I'll tell you the. Honestly, the only time I've ever really been, like, looked into a conspiracy.

[Joey Santagato]

See, this is what they're saying. Invisible for a period of time. It was also reported that the ship was physically teleported to Virginia before it returned to Philadelphia. Many members of the crew became ill and died shortly after. The crew also reported strange happenings during the experiment itself. Some became embedded in the ship itself and others were able to walk through walls. If the experiment had indeed happened as it claimed, then the US military had access to teleportation technology as early as the 1940s.

[Frank Alvarez]

Get the fuck out of here, dude, I'm sorry.

[Joey Santagato]

I'm also. Get the fuck out of here. I can't.

[Frank Alvarez]

I can't. I can't give any belief to any of those conspiracies because then I'm fully in and I'll never see straight ever again.

[Joey Santagato]

You've never, like, been like, dive deep into a conspiracy and be like, yo, I'm nuts now, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

In, like, 2004, a kid in my class showed me loose change about 9 11. Yeah. And I was like, wait a sec. And then I had to pull myself back out to reality because I couldn't. I couldn't fucking do it.

[Joey Santagato]

Well, that one.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm not touching that.

[Joey Santagato]

Buildings don't fall like that. I saw. I forgot who it was. Oh, fuck. There was a comedian that I follow and he put up a video and he had a T shirt that just says, buildings don't fall like that. But he was talking about the other building. Not that. Not the towers, the other one.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, like Tower 7 or something like that, bro.

[Joey Santagato]

Not gonna go down a whole thing. There is no reason that thing went down, though. Like, there's literally no reason, Joe.

[Frank Alvarez]

How could it possibly. Joey, I'm not doing this.

[Joey Santagato]

Come on, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

Not doing it.

[Joey Santagato]

Saying, take a peek.

[Frank Alvarez]

I did, and that's why I had to pull myself out of it.

[Joey Santagato]

Do you remember the whole thing about the clouds? It's like, yo, there's face shapes in the clouds. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it was like, there's the devil. It was like, the devil's in the cloud.

[Joey Santagato]

My dad was showing me those photos back in the day. Tuesday looks like this. I was like, it's clouds, my guy. I've seen dragons in the sky. What does that mean?

[Frank Alvarez]

The only other time, and it's not even conspiracy, but, like, the first time I remember because, like, now you watch any of these Marvel movies, it's like, oh, my God, this hidden Easter egg behind, you know, and like, people. It's like a whole industry that people will stop movie trailers and, like, be like, look, there's a sign on the back. That's a sign for fucking this. This comic book and blah, blah, blah. The first time I remember getting into that was for that movie Cloverfield.

[Joey Santagato]

I remember that. There's a lot of clues and that was your life.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was following blogs and websites and, you know,11808.com and Cloverfield Hype Blog spot and shit like that where they did all that shit. And they were just like, look in the dust. You could see the face of a devil and then you could hear them saying like, it's a lion. It's huge. And so I had, I had to. Because I was so fucking invested. I had to pull myself out though.

[Joey Santagato]

You never watch like a, like a crime show or whatever and you're like, it might be fun being a detective, like figuring it out, piecing it together.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh yeah, well, yeah, of course that is cool.

[Joey Santagato]

But like, sick.

[Frank Alvarez]

I've stopped being able to watch True.

[Joey Santagato]

Crime, like doing like interviews and just like whatever and then like getting the information and like piecing it together. Like, what's better than that?

[Frank Alvarez]

I can name four things off the top of my head right now that's better than that.

[Joey Santagato]

Name him.

[Frank Alvarez]

Sausage, pepper sandwich.

[Joey Santagato]

Definitely.

[Frank Alvarez]

Holiday themed candy.

[Joey Santagato]

Certain ones.

[Frank Alvarez]

Fruity Pebbles.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Getting a giant fucking booger out of your nose and like being able to breathe again.

[Joey Santagato]

Random 4 things that like happened to you recently?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes.

[Joey Santagato]

Nice. We do have our last sponsor for today that was Prize Picks. Okay. Prize picks for you people out there that like fantasy sports you can do. So with prize Picks, you know, this is a lot of fun. It's a lot. It's very easy to understand. Okay. You don't have to do a whole draft or anything like that. It's just you're picking against these projections, more or less. Okay. So for instance, Caleb Williams passing yards, you know, they'll say, will he throw more or less than 180? Okay. And if history repeats itself, it's going to be less. So that's probably where I would put my money. But yeah, so you pick a couple of those. And yeah, it's just more or less these projections, you can go on there. They have a bunch of different sports. It's not just football. They have, you know, everything that you could think of. Anything that's in season, you know, they have projections for. And you build a lineup like that and you can win like up to 100 times your money on prize picks with just with as little as four correct picks. Okay. So it's, it's amazing. And also they invented the Flex play, which means you could still cash out if your lineup isn't perfect. You can double your money even when, even if one of your picks doesn't hit. Okay. So it's really awesome. It's a lot of fun. A lot of my friends play it, they love it. But you can download the Prize picks app today and use the code basement. You will get 50, $50 instantly when you play $5. That is code basement on prize picks to get $50 instantly when you play just $5. Okay. You don't even have to win. You just play the $5 and you will get that 50 in your account. Okay? So yeah, enjoy prize picks. Run your game. Boom. And before we get out of here, obviously, I think that we have to talk just very briefly about Shannon Sharp getting caught clapping shakes on Instagram Live.

[Frank Alvarez]

For those of you guys that have not seen Shannon Sharp, NFL hall of Famer, former tight end for the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings.

[Joey Santagato]

Baltimore Ravens. Yes, yes, he was on the Vikings.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't think so, but everyone knows him as Unk. You know, has a podcast that does well, you know, guys all over the place having a great post NFL career. Also hysterical.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Accidentally went live on Instagram the other.

[Joey Santagato]

Day while he was. While he was fucking.

[Frank Alvarez]

While he was just doggin something. You know someone, I should say.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. Someone named Michelle.

[Frank Alvarez]

Was that her name?

[Joey Santagato]

Well, he did say, that's my Michelle.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's. That's my Michelle.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, he said, oh, like, like she's like his Michelle.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, I didn't watch the full video, did you?

[Joey Santagato]

I didn't, but I. That part like that. Because people were talking about it because I think OO Cinco was like, who's Michelle?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, I saw. This is so random, but do you know the. The wrestler R Truth? Yeah, he was on there just going off during the whole live like, yo, un, what are you doing? Like, this is pg, man.

[Joey Santagato]

He also claims that he did it accidentally. Bro, how do you accidentally go on Instagram Live while you're.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, that. I mean, so the big thing that's come out of it is people are just like, was it accidental?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, come on.

[Frank Alvarez]

Because apparently there was a lot of rumors that he was gay.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, so you think that he's like.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yo, I don't think this. Other people are saying that. Like it could have been done as like a publicity stunt to be like, see, I'm not. All I'm going to say is it looked. It sounded like they're having a good time, man.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, I mean he definitely was. He was, you know, like growling and shit.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh yeah. Ocho Sega was just like, you need to work on your cardio. You were huffing and puffing.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, he said, that's my Michelle. It's kind of crazy.

[Frank Alvarez]

I. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. I don't like to think conspiracy wise. I think it was probably a mistake because. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Joey Santagato]

Do you ever go live on Instagram.

[Frank Alvarez]

Couple Times, but not enough to be able to confirm the process.

[Joey Santagato]

Okay, but. But, like, you have to, like, press a couple buttons. Like, it's not one button.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's like a sequence of buttons, bro.

[Joey Santagato]

Look, I'll do it right now. I'm not gonna go live. But, like, if first you have to get to the Instagram app, then you have to scroll over here, then you have to scroll over to live, and then hit that button, and then it.

[Frank Alvarez]

Just starts, or do you have to then confirm it?

[Joey Santagato]

Mmm, I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do it.

[Joey Santagato]

No.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do it right now.

[Joey Santagato]

I'm not gonna go live right now, but.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, so I tend to give the benefit of the doubt. I mean, like, it's like.

[Joey Santagato]

It's scary, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

Could you.

[Joey Santagato]

Oh, my God. Can you imagine?

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, what are people gonna hear if you're having sex? Like, oh, my God. That's a joke about you crying.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, I guess I get it, Frank. I get it.

[Frank Alvarez]

That would be how you having sex.

[Joey Santagato]

They'd hear fucking, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Fucking swords and shit. Probably you would hear, like, a lightsaber. Like, oh.

[Frank Alvarez]

No. But, I mean, I could. I can see why that is, like, an intense invasion of privacy.

[Joey Santagato]

Because, yo, during sex, I mean, you're saying crazy shit that you're saying.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're growling. You're just, like. You're saying, like, he was growling. You're. You've growled.

[Joey Santagato]

I've never done that. You've done a. I have never. I don't. Become a tiger. I don't know what you do in there, but, like, the things you say, like, it's just, you know, it's not actually.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's a very pride. It's not Earth.

[Joey Santagato]

And you're right, it's not Earth.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's happening.

[Joey Santagato]

It's a different land.

[Frank Alvarez]

Listen, I'm a different person. Everyone that has had sex could attest to this.

[Joey Santagato]

You fucking virgins.

[Frank Alvarez]

Shut the fucking episode off.

[Joey Santagato]

Virgins.

[Frank Alvarez]

This ain't for you. Get out. Keep scrolling. Do we. But, like, there's, like, reality.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then there's, like, wherever you go when you're in, like, sexual land.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And that's where, like, you growl.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You ask questions that you normally wouldn't ask.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. Like, do you like Big Daddy's foot? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say that.

[Frank Alvarez]

That you came up with that very quickly.

[Joey Santagato]

I was trying to think of just, like, a strange.

[Frank Alvarez]

Be honest with me.

[Joey Santagato]

I've never said, do you like Big.

[Frank Alvarez]

Daddy's okay, second question.

[Joey Santagato]

Okay, go.

[Frank Alvarez]

Have you ever referred to yourself as Big Dad?

[Joey Santagato]

I don't know. I don't think so, but yeah, I mean, like, those types of things that happen there. Like, bro, can you imagine the world? Like, so it's like saying.

[Frank Alvarez]

It is. It is.

[Joey Santagato]

Now you've seen parts of.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'll say this, he handled it very well. I do wonder what the perk.

[Joey Santagato]

Because, like, who the woman was.

[Frank Alvarez]

I imagine if it's his Michelle, you can narrow it down to figuring out a couple of Michelle. Michelle's in his life.

[Joey Santagato]

Only so many Michelle.

[Frank Alvarez]

Only so many Michelle.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

So, like, that's an invasion of privacy for her too, you know? So, like, you gotta feel bad for her.

[Joey Santagato]

Dude, that reminds me of. I don't know if anyone's ever done this to you, but it was like a thing that went around. It's like, yo, send this to your friends. But it's a dm, right? I forgot who sent it to me. I think it was like, Julian or something. And it was like, yo, bro, did you mean to post that on your story? Or it'll say something like, did you just post you posted your dick on your. Or something like that. And then it's like one of those messages that are, like, long. And then you scroll down, it's like, got you send this to five. And I was like, I don't like this.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, that never happened to me. I don't think anyone has done that to me. And now you're inviting it to be done to us. So, yeah, you're fucking. Your messages are just gonna be inundated with people saying shit.

[Joey Santagato]

I feel like that's a difficult thing to do anyway.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, still terrifying. Like, you know, that would be very scary. Not that I just have pictures of my wiener on my phone. I don't have any. Yeah, but that could be anxiety inducing.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, you know, did you mean to post that? Or maybe it was a TikTok video where I saw, like, people on. There was this one girl who was like, FaceTiming all of her friends and saying like, oh, my God, did you mean to post that? And everyone like, what? And.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, shit.

[Joey Santagato]

Really?

[Frank Alvarez]

Really?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's a good one.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, that's better than the dm.

[Frank Alvarez]

I always think it's funny when people will, like, call someone and she'll be like, yo, yo, I'm gonna call you right back. And they're like, what the fuck?

[Joey Santagato]

I feel like my dad has done that to me. Like, for real.

[Frank Alvarez]

I do that to Divino every time him And I talk. He'll call me, and I'll pick up, and I'll be like, what? Or, like, I'll call him, and he'll be like, what? And I'll be like, all right, I can't talk right now. And he's like, all right. And then we hang up, and we don't speak for three weeks. Becca, anytime. Like, Becca, whenever. She'll know what. I'm talking to Davino on the phone. Because she's like, you guys, don't. Without exaggeration. We will just stare at each other for five minutes and not say a word. And she's like, just hang up. What's the point of even talking to someone?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah, Davino does stuff like that with me too. Or he'll, like, we both call each other Joe. I think, like, he calls me Joe, and I call him Joe. And then he said something to me recently. I think he did exactly that, where he texted me Joe. And I said, joe. And then he's like, I can't talk right now. I'll text you back. And then he didn't talk to me for, like, a month.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Joey Santagato]

Like, I didn't talk to him, like, a month.

[Frank Alvarez]

I think recently he called me, and I answered. I was like, yo, you just woke up the baby. And he's like, no, stop. And I'm like, yo, seriously, like, she's crying. Like, now I have to. Like, she was like, I couldn't get her down for a nap. And he feels so bad because the thing about Divino that you guys don't know is that, like, it's so easy to fuck with him, because you could just be like, yo, like, if you do something like that, it'll bother him for a week and a half.

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Even if you tell him you're joking, he's just like, no, seriously, though, did I actually wake up the baby? And it's like, no, you didn't. He's like, you to tell me if I woke up the baby, right?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah. He's like, all right, now I'm overthinking this. I don't want to talk anymore. I think maybe that's what he said to me. He's like, texted me. He's like, forget it. I'm overthinking things. And I was like, it's so easy.

[Frank Alvarez]

To get under his skin. I've seen, like, on Xbox. I've been on Xbox. And like, Josh, who's editing this, will, like, we'll be in a group chat with or, like, a party talking. And he'll Be like, divino. Be like, yeah. You know, like, me and Andrea are going out to dinner, and Josh will go, you deadbeat.

[Joey Santagato]

You want to be everywhere except home.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. With your baby and Davido. Just be like, oh, God. It's a good time.

[Joey Santagato]

It's a good time. Little jokes. And that's. That's kind of like me and you.

[Frank Alvarez]

We had a thing where we would call each other on the phone, and it would be like a pitch for, like, you know, like something like flavored toilet paper or something. And it would go on for, like, eight minutes, and then we'd hang up. Or, like, the last, like, 10 minutes would be like, all right, I'm gonna be at the park in, like, 10 minutes. I'll see you there. All right, bye.

[Joey Santagato]

I've done that, like, a couple of times where, like, I know, like, if I remember being at home when I lived at home, and you called me one time, and my mom, my sister, and, like, Keith were around, so I, like, picked up the phone and immediately put on a speakerphone, and I was like, hello? And then you said, oh, no, I picked up, and I said, like, oh, Johnny and Billy's Auto Shop.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then you were obviously, I'm on it. It's a snowball down a hill. Like, you can't stop.

[Joey Santagato]

Frank is in the market for a car. He needs something fixed with car. And then that goes on until someone laughs.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it's not even like, there's something funny about it.

[Joey Santagato]

It's just an actual.

[Frank Alvarez]

Such an actual mundane conversation that that's what makes it funny, is like, I'm actually, like, looking for, like, real advice on a car. And you'll, like, have an answer. It's not like, there's nothing funny or haha or witty. It's just, like, real.

[Joey Santagato]

I remember one time I called you, and I was like, you picked up. You were like, hello? I was like, hi, is this Target? And you're like, yep. And I was like, trying to buy a tent from you or something.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The one that I used to do a lot and you used to call me out for it is. I would call you, and I'd be like, waiting for the train or waiting for the bus in, like, middle school and high school, and I'd be like, you'd be like, talking. We'd be having a serious conversation, and I'd be like, wait, you fucking had sex with him? And you'd be like, there's a bunch of people around you, isn't there?

[Joey Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And I'd be Like, yes. And I'd be like, how could you? And people would be looking at me like, what the fuck is going on?

[Joey Santagato]

Frankie was the only person that would, like, create, like, would be surrounded by people on a busy street and then like bring attention to themselves by screaming on the phone with me. Like, not having an actual.

[Frank Alvarez]

And yeah. And he'd be like, dude, come on, Frank, stop. Yeah, please stop.

[Joey Santagato]

And I think, no, you're fucking him, aren't you? You're fucking him. And I'm like, frank, it's okay. We were pranksters before YouTube and now after tube poop. But yeah, I guess that's all for this week's episode. Frank, where can they find you?
