A
Welcome back to the basement. Welcome back to the basement yard. How's it going, Frank?
B
You okay?
A
I'm good.
B
You sure?
A
What's going on?
B
Are you okay?
A
I feel good. I feel you're feely.
B
I fully expect that.
A
You're touchy feely.
B
I am a touchy feely guy. I've learned to stop.
A
What does that mean?
B
Like, remember when we were kids, you said I'd always play with the buttons on your shirt and shit like that?
A
Yeah, that was annoying.
B
That was annoying. And like I said, I've learned to stop. I'm fully expecting you to just burst into a sweat puddle and pie. A sweat pie? Is that a thing? It's kind of bad now, right?
A
It sounds like corn.
B
You're wearing what can only be described as just a bear.
A
It could be described as a sweater.
B
No, that's very sweater. That's like. That's a level of sweater. That's like. It's become. That's like a drawn sweater. Like, if you were to ask me to, like, draw a sweater, that's what I would draw. It's too, too sweatery.
A
I feel like you're being judgmental.
B
Someone has to be. I mean, someone needs to tell you that that sweater is too much of a sweater.
A
Frank, you're wearing pink and black Adidas pants.
B
No, I'm not.
A
Also, the outfit that you came with the other day, I had to take a picture of it.
B
Really? Frank, which outfit?
A
You had a summer beach shirt.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
With, like, tight sweatpants tucked into. New Balance sneakers.
B
Tucked in is a bit much. Well, they were.
A
They were making their way, bitch. Tapered? Yeah, they were taped to your ankles.
B
Is what they were. You took a picture of my outfit without my consent? I think I consent. You have opened your. No, no, I didn't consent to anything, bitch.
A
First of all, you're staring right at me, and I was like, oh, was I?
B
Yeah, sorry. You're mostly on your phone when I'm trying to talk to you.
A
Don't try to change the subject.
B
Yeah, honestly, I try to get out of that one a little bit. Oh, man.
A
That's the picture.
B
Good outfit, Frank.
A
That's a bad outfit.
B
There's good pieces. Who send that to?
A
Nobody.
B
Yeah, not yet. It's gonna get sent to her.
A
I'm letting it marinate, and then I'll probably send it back to you one day when you say something to me. And I'll just be like, here.
B
No, that's a good outfit. I don't think.
A
That's not a good Outfit. It's good pieces. Good pieces.
B
Good pieces.
A
Bad outfit.
B
Listen, they are the sum of their parts. Let me explain that really quickly, all right? I look great in that outfit, as I do in this one. And no one knows. I'm not wearing pink and black Adidas.
A
Yes, you are.
B
No, I'm not. They can't see my bottom half. So as far as they know, it doesn't exist.
A
Whatever.
B
You ever hear the idea that, like, Schrodinger's cat or Schrodinger's box or whatever.
A
Pause.
B
You ever heard of that?
A
Pause button. Who's that?
B
Schrodinger?
A
Yeah. No, that. Who's that?
B
I don't know who.
A
I know Nicole Schwarzenegger.
B
I know Kyle Schwarber.
A
I know Kyle Schwarber as well.
B
And you know.
A
I know Dr. Scholz.
B
Is that a real person?
A
Dr. Scholes? It's the foot guy.
B
I don't know. There's a lot of fake doctors just getting put in.
A
Nicole Schwarzenegger.
B
Scherzinger.
A
Scherzinger.
B
Scherzinger.
A
What?
B
I said, you were saying Schwarzinger.
A
Yeah.
B
She was like her child and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, I.
A
Who's the cat?
B
The cat? Schrodinger's box. You never heard of the idea of Schrodinger's box?
A
No.
B
Schrodinger's cat.
A
How you getting cat and box mixed?
B
Because it has to do with a cat. It's like a quantum physics theory that, like, if you were to like, put a. Like a box in the corner and I tell you there's a cat in there, they're like, there is a cat, but there isn't a cat or some shit like that. It's a fucking crazy. Now I got to look it up just to make sure.
A
I mean, you haven't even said anything.
B
There's a.
A
You put a box in the corner, you tell me there's a cat in.
B
There, and then Schrodinger's cat. So Schrodinger's cat is a quantum. It is thought that an experiment. See, this is. It's getting too wordy here.
A
Is this a comic book thing or is this a real life thing?
B
All right. Is a thought experiment devised by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger. Good name, by the way, which he designed to illustrate a paradox of quantum superpositioning, wherein a hypothetical cat may be considered both alive and dead because its fate is linked to a random event that may or may not occur.
A
I don't even know what that means.
B
Yeah, I know. Right?
A
Yeah.
B
Why'd you Even bring that up because I'm making fun of your stupid sweater.
A
And there's no connection. So, see, this is why you just call it yourself, because you like to say things that you know. So it sounds like something correct, but clearly it means nothing.
B
Correct. You got me. Yeah. So the knowledge is not necessarily knowing about things. It's just knowing things. So, like, I know about Schrodinger's cat. I don't know what the hell it is, though.
A
Right?
B
Okay, so that's enough to start a conversation. Like, look, give me something that you know a lot about and I don't. Let's say F1. Okay? Seriously. And I'm not trying to make fun of the fact that you just watch cars go fast in a circle. F1, man. I know. F1. I don't know about F1, though. So that's enough.
A
That was your example. You F1, man. No, I would find out very.
B
Because there are people that don't, like, they don't care about talking, like, having a conversation. They just sometimes just want to talk about what they like. So I can be like, dude, F1. Right? And you go like, yeah. And then you just, like, unfurl just all this knowledge about F1.
A
Right?
B
So there you go.
A
So you're manipulating your way through conversations in life.
B
I have.
A
Right? Yeah.
B
Okay, cool. I have. Oh, my God.
A
Yes.
B
I had the worst being recognized in person interaction in my entire life.
A
Were you, like, dressed weird or you.
B
No, no, no, no. It was. I was out with Becca and the kids, and it's not like how it happened, but just the way that the person went about saying it was like, I wanted to fucking leave there and just, like, bash my head against the wall. The hell is that?
A
I don't know. That was fucking scary, honestly.
B
She goes, make sure you're still plugged in, baby.
A
Yeah, I'm good.
B
She goes, it was a woman. She turns and she looks at me, and I know, like, you know, I know that the person.
A
Someone swings their head around.
B
Yeah. They go, oh, oh, okay. So you're famous. All righty.
A
Wait, what?
B
Yeah, it was like, yo, I said to him, I was like. Like, I don't even know how a theater kid way exactly like, oh, here you are. Yeah, up. This is happening right now. You know, like, you know, like, the people make fun of, like, Marvel movies because the comedy is all, like, you know, talking bad about a character, and they're just like, he's right behind me, isn't he? You know, like, very, like, Disney star versions.
A
So that's what she said.
B
Yeah, she was like, oh, okay. All right. So you're famous.
A
What'd you say?
B
I was just like, no, I don't. I wouldn't say all that. And she was just like, like. But just like, it was so cringe worthy.
A
Was there anything else?
B
No.
A
Wait. That was it. And she kept pushing.
B
That was it.
A
And then she just kept walking.
B
That was the whole thing, the whole interaction. Yeah.
A
That's a strange reaction.
B
That is strange, right? Yeah. Like, I would expect like a. Like a. You know, like an Elon Musk to do something like that. Because he's a weird dude, too. You know what I'm saying?
A
Yes, I do, Frank.
B
Oh, he's such a dweeb.
A
Dude. It's great. Like, he's just a dweeby guy to me. I don't know why he could be.
B
Both things at the same time. He could be smart and also just kind of a dweeb.
A
He's got to be a little smart. Richest guy in the world, so yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got something.
B
But it was so cringe worthy. I hated every minute of it.
A
Damn, she's gonna see this.
B
Whatever. I don't care. Clearly.
A
Well, that was interesting.
B
Speaking of Disney fied versions.
A
What?
B
I said Disney star. Like the Disney fied. Like Disney star comedy. Did you see everyone's mad at Sabrina Carpenter?
A
Wait, was she on Disney?
B
Yeah, she was a Disney star. You didn't know that?
A
No, I didn't.
B
Can I ask you a serious question?
A
Yeah.
B
I consider you to be a smart person. I also consider you to be pretty. You finger the pulse.
A
Okay, you know, that's not how you say that.
B
You keep your finger on the pulse.
A
That's better.
B
There you go.
A
You don't finger the post.
B
Who are you fingering? The mail? Yeah, Post. The New York Post.
A
Although I ha.
B
Jesus Christ.
A
Easy, Bobby Dick. This kid's spider manning the mail. You ever stick your hand in a mailbox?
B
Yeah, I have a mailbox.
A
Dude, no, no. Like a public mailbox.
B
What the fuck does that mean?
A
Like a. Like a mailbox. Bro, you grew up in Queens. There's mailbox.
B
The ones on the corners.
A
Yeah.
B
You can't put your hand in there.
A
You could try and I have.
B
I guess I know, because I probably tried.
A
First of all, illegal. Second of all.
B
Second of all, young.
A
Not gonna get it.
B
Was. It was several, several, several years ago.
A
Thank you. No, but I've tried to put my hand. And I just want to. I didn't want to take any mail, but I Wanted to touch some mail, and I never did. And that's where the story ends. Please continue.
B
You're, like, the person that, like, tries to, like, close the fridge door to the part where the light closes and you could see in. Just be like, what the hell goes on in there when it's all dark?
A
First of all, I've done that at my mom's house numerous times because she has the one where it's, like, on a button.
B
I used to hide in my freezer. Go on.
A
How did you even get in a freezer?
B
How big was your fridge? It was. It was like one of the standup freezers, which we can all agree on. Way better than a chest freezer, right?
A
I hate the chest.
B
Oh, my God, I hate it.
A
Give me a door.
B
Big fridge. Fuck you. Yeah, And I would. As a kid, I would stand. It was like. There was like, a little, like. Like, ledge, and then I could, like, stand and back up into the freezer and it could close. Don't do this, anyone. Yeah, this is very dangerous. But I would hide in there. I'd also.
A
It had, like, from what and who and why?
B
Why did I do this?
A
Why were you hiding in a freezer?
B
Because your kids hide, man. Hide and seek. You know how much of a flex it was to be good at hide and seek?
A
Apparently not.
B
No. Some of us. But it also had, like, shelving on it, and it was metal. And I would take my fingers and I'd lick them and I touch the shelving and they'd get stuck.
A
I've done that. But I would never do it with my tongue. Those people are crazy. Looking at, like, icy pole outside. I would never do that.
B
What's that fucking dumbass movie?
A
Christmas Story?
B
Yeah.
A
Fuck, that movie sucks.
B
It does, right?
A
I hate that movie.
B
It's not that good. But, yeah, I would hide in my fridge. But, yeah, we're going for someone that.
A
Is always fingering the pulse.
B
This is Joey in the pole rubbing.
A
The clit of the pulse.
B
Just. Absolutely. Just going to town on this.
A
Yeah. I didn't know that she was on Disney.
B
How did you not know that?
A
I don't know. I mean, I know Sabrina Carpenter. I like her songs.
B
Did you ever. There's a clip I saw on TikTok, and it's, I assume from one of her shows where there's, like, a boy character and he's like, they want to test me to see if I have autism. And she, like, gets in his face and she's like, you don't have autism. Tell them you don't have autism.
A
Who wrote that?
B
No way.
A
On Disney. So she was probably like, 11.
B
She must have been young. Yeah. 13, 14. Around there.
A
Go in there and tell them that you don't have it.
B
Yeah, that's great. But people are upset with her right now.
A
What does she do? Her.
B
There was a video from her cons because she's on tour right now. Yeah. And I've. I've heard one song from hers, and it's Espresso. I've not listened to it.
A
Why are you adding S's before the word even begins?
B
It's espresso.
A
That's not the song.
B
Espresso. Yeah, yeah, but it's the song. I'm identifying it. Bitch.
A
Okay, but you're saying it's espresso. That's not like. You see how that's wrong?
B
It's espresso.
A
It. Yes, it's.
B
It is better.
A
Yes.
B
You fucking.
A
You don't get to go. Is rezzo like you're hammered?
B
I'm. How do you know I'm not drunk?
A
Wait, okay.
B
No, but they're upset because on her tour, she apparently, like, pantomimes. Fellating.
A
Sucking that.
B
A microphone. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
I have seen online that, like, people are like, how can she do this? All her fans are children or something. I don't even. I don't know if that's true.
B
But also, like, I feel like she is a very sexual. She has, like, an aura to her that's like.
A
She's sexual in her songs.
B
Oh, is she in her songs, sexual? Well, I know because, like I said, the only one I know is espresso. Yeah, well, I only know that you know about me. My own. Is that me? I guess so. I don't really even know the words, so I could be saying. I really don't.
A
Did you say. I don't know if I know the words. You don't know because you didn't say words. What do you mean? No, but she's. I'll look it up. But, like, she's. She's always had horny.
B
It's that me. It says espresso. I honestly don't like it dragged you crazy.
A
It's a me is espresso. It's not Mario Luigi.
B
It'S a me. Espresso. Yeah. All right. AI, listen. I know you're listening because you're every.
A
You're always listening.
B
You're always listening.
A
Just like God and Santa Claus and.
B
Sure, yeah, okay. Yeah, I guess that does work. Make an espresso, but by Super Mario you know, thanks for getting that out.
A
There, but she has horny lyrics. Like, she has one.
B
Are you looking up the lyrics now?
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So for the parents who are complaining about, like, she's being too explicit at her shows, Sabrina Carpenter. Let's just have a listen also.
B
Let's have a listen. You fucking prudes. What? Like, what's wrong with you?
A
This is a.
B
She's an adult. She could do whatever the hell she wants. I mean, she could.
A
She's sucking the microphone down.
B
Well, she wasn't. Did you see the. I saw the clip on TikTok. She's not sucking anymore.
A
Does she put it in her mouth?
B
She doesn't.
A
What does she do?
B
She's singing and she holds it here and holds her hair back. That's pretty. I know. If you did that again, people would.
A
Be like, no, no, no. That's how they teach it in mime school, I assume. I assume.
B
I've never been to mime school.
A
No, but that's something that we should do. That'd be fun to go to mime school.
B
Pantomime? Blowing someone in mime school?
A
No, just going to mime school. We don't have to.
B
Is mime school a thing?
A
How else do you learn how to mime?
B
Just, like, in your spare time. If there's a whole school for mimes.
A
There'S a whole school for clowns.
B
That's different, dude. Clowns used to be way bigger. Mimes were never big in the US they were big in France.
A
That's fair. Anyway, if you're one of the parents out there that is like, hey, I can't believe I brought my daughter here. Sabrina Carpenter is being too sexually explicit on stage. Let's give a listen.
B
Let's take a look at the lyrics.
A
Before you bring your child there. Okay. This one I just pulled up. This is an easy one.
B
What's the song taste?
A
Guess what. Guess what the taste is.
B
That is a very kitty cat.
A
All right.
B
Oh, yeah. Bur gangles her Ron Burg angle Lee.
A
He pins you down on the carpet, by the way, Rugby Little crazy. Get off the carpet. You know what I mean?
B
Carpet could mean pubes, dude.
A
That's fair.
B
Carpet could mean pubes.
A
How do you get pinned down on someone's pubes? We're getting off track.
B
Okay.
A
He pinned you down on the carpet. Makes paintings with his tongue. La la la la la.
B
Cunnilingus.
A
Right? He's funny now. All his jokes hit different. Guess who he learned that from?
B
What the hell does that mean? I don't Wait, what?
A
I don't know.
B
He's funny now.
A
I don't.
B
Do you. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. He's telling jokes down there.
A
He's probably. Yeah, he's.
B
Knock, knock.
A
What's the deal with peanuts?
B
It's like, what the deal with airplane food. Jesus.
A
She has a whole song. This song is called Juno that's horny as fuck. And if you're a parent out there that's upset about the concert, just listen to this song. Maybe I shouldn't bring my.
B
Remember, like, fucking Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl. Like, basically giving a hand job to Justin Timberlake, bro.
A
At her concerts. Used to get up there and she would otphj to men.
B
Just random guys over the head, over.
A
The pants, hand jobs.
B
Just random recipients of hand jobs At.
A
Janet Jackson show, like, tied up on a cross. I don't know if she does at every concert, but I've seen videos. She's like, tied up on a cross and she's like, grabbing.
B
I could see why the tying up on a cross is a. Is it something people upset about people?
A
A certain section of people would be upset about that.
B
Honestly, I could see why even a more intense part of that section of people would get upset if you're pantomiming, jerking off the Lord and Savior.
A
Well, no, it's not about God if.
B
You'Re on a cross. Tied up.
A
I don't know if it was a cross. I don't know that shape, whatever. But Sabrina Carpenter, this is one of her songs. Hot start.
B
Juno.
A
You said it's called Juno.
B
Okay.
A
Don't have to tell your hot ass a thing. Oh, yeah, you just get it whole package, babe. I like the way you fit now already.
B
Oh, that's dick.
A
We're talking about penis in things.
B
That's penis right there. Yeah.
A
You make me want to fall in love oh. Late at night I'm thinking about you Ah. Want to try out my fuzzy pink handcuffs?
B
Okay, this is not that bad. I mean, she did talk about a giant wiener.
A
Give it a second.
B
Oh, wait, there's. It gets worse. Oh, boy. What happened? Wait. Dude, why does the world get so freaked out when women explain that they are sexual beings?
A
So this is so this is. Adore me, hold me and explore me. Mark your territory. I don't know if that's peeing piss. That might be pissed that dogs are going crazy for that one.
B
Oh, yeah, exactly.
A
Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one. Adore me, hold me and explore me I'm so horny.
B
Oh, Jesus Christ.
A
All.
B
All con. All subtext has gone out of the window here.
A
Then there's another song called Bed Chem. I don't know. Bed, Bed, Bed Chem. And on this one, it just says, why? Why? It says, come. Come right on me. I mean, camaraderie. So Freud.
B
What?
A
She says, come right on me.
B
Come right on.
A
Come right on me. I thought it was come right on me, but that doesn't make sense. But she's saying, come right on me.
B
Like, that's. That's forward, dude.
A
Yeah, that's.
B
That's crazy. And it says, I will say, parents, this is on you. She's making her. Stop saying. She's making this. You need a fucking vet. What your kids are listening to.
A
I agree.
B
My brother walked in the house at the age of 12 and he shouted at the top of his lungs, I smell pussy. You think my mom was mad at 50 Cent? Yeah, right. Or Young Buck?
A
Or Lloyd Banks.
B
I smell. She was furious at my brother. I smell pussy. That's like, what do you. Parents. If you're mad at anyone, be mad at yourself. You know, there is a way. Technology now allows you to police certain things. Get better at this. Yeah, get better at it. My. What are you doing? You know, don't bring Sabrina.
A
She's up there. She's. She's singing the Come Right on Me song.
B
That's. I will say that's crazy, but it's not a comrade.
A
She meant camaraderie. It was a mistake.
B
But she put it in the lyrics, Frank.
A
It was a mistake.
B
It wasn't a mistake.
A
It was a fraudulent slip.
B
That is, I will say, as someone who knows someone that has written poems. I know.
A
You friends with Edgar Allen Poe?
B
No, I'm friends with Francisco, the poet laureate. Oh, that. I will say, that is an impressive use wordplay there. That would make poets such as Francisco very jealous.
A
Because that's impressive because you wanted to write. Come right on me.
B
I don't write anything. I don't write anything. I would also not write that. I wouldn't do that.
A
So I'm so jealous you thought of it first.
B
No. Why does. What is with. And this comes up every couple years. But, like, any time a woman, like, just. It's just sexual the way men are. Men are out there and they're just like, here's my fucking dick and balls, dude. And guys are just like, they're boys, they're men. And then girls are like, oh, yeah, I like sex, too. And they're like, you. You. You control yourself, woman. Yeah, the fuck? We're a bunch of prudes.
A
It's a double stand.
B
What is going on?
A
Or the dudes that are like, oh, don't breastfeed your baby in public. Ew.
B
I'm letting you know right now. What? Men, I'm talking to you. And ladies, show this to the men in your life. If you have an issue with a woman or anyone breastfeeding in fucking public.
A
That's bananas.
B
You are the lowest, dumbest little squirt of a crap on this fucking planet. Okay, that's such a weird way to.
A
Say that, but yeah.
B
You are so stupid. What is wrong with you? You sucked on a tit once. You're just jealous. You ain't sucking on tits, are you, boy?
A
That's true. And also, what do you want to do? You want the kid to die? What do you want? Kids hungry? You want to keep crying? I hope they put all the crying babies on tits.
B
Put the, you know, on planes. You know what?
A
Get the tit in the mouth.
B
You know what? This is what. This is what you do. Guys. If you're upset about someone breastfeeding in public, we're gonna get your oldest diarrhea dinosaur shit mom and make you suck her tit.
A
How about that, Frankie?
B
No.
A
You're, like. You're trying to be, like, a champion for women, and now you're disrespecting.
B
I have a champ. I will speak for them. I will do everything.
A
You just called someone mother a dinosaur diarrhea mom. Yeah, I don't know what that means. Lost it. But Sabrina Carpenter, she's gonna sing her songs. Maybe she's gonna slang a ghostly penis that doesn't exist out there. It just. You know what I mean?
B
I don't know.
A
Like, it's part of the show.
B
God. And it's funny because, like, these are people that, like, the parents that are getting upset were the parents that were, like, into, like, Wham. And New Kids on the Block and before that, like, David Bowie who was coming out with basically just his penis out. Yeah, David Bowie, you know, and, like, you're getting so upset.
A
Wait, what was the Wham song last Christmas? This is a different one. I'm thinking of that. Was it. I hate that song, by the way.
B
Great song, Joey.
A
Last Christmas I gave you my heart. You like that song?
B
Yeah.
A
Trash Bags.
B
It's so good.
A
Dude, it's not.
B
You're crazy. We're not. I don't. I don't. I don't want to go down.
A
What's the Wham song, though.
B
Wham. I don't know.
A
Oh, are they? Wake me up before you go go.
B
If that is. That does suck. Wake me up. Wake me up before you go go. Let me see. Most famous Wham songs.
A
Most famous Wham songs.
B
How do you land up a before you go go? Nailed it last Christmas.
A
How do you land on that as your band name?
B
Wham.
A
Just like a. You know what I mean?
B
I don't know. The Edge of Heaven is another song.
A
The edge of edging in heaven.
B
So George Michaels on there.
A
Speaking of George Michaels is in Wham.
B
He was Wham. Before he was whamming things. He was whamming gay. The gayest dude.
A
I don't know. I get confused.
B
He got in trouble for, like, whamming pee pee in, like, a public bathroom.
A
What?
B
What?
A
George Michaels was whamming wangs in bathrooms.
B
Oh, I hope I'm right on this.
A
I hope Wham and the Wangs and the wasp.
B
Yeah, because the joke was. The joke was in Arrested Development that he was named George Michael. And then he was like. He changed it to George Meharris, who was another person that got in. George Michael controversy.
A
I feel like Frank is basing.
B
Came out as gay in 98. Active gay in 98.
A
Dude.
B
Wow. Yeah. He was arrested in 98 for public lewdness.
A
Oh.
B
And multiple drug related offenses. Oh, okay. But he.
A
He was wanging.
B
He was. He was cruising for sex. That's.
A
That's not what's written in there.
B
He was cruising. Yeah, he.
A
I was really jonesing for a penis.
B
His only crime. Cruising for sex in Hempstead Heath park in London.
A
Nice.
B
Yeah. What was this lewd act? I think it was when he was, like, in parks. Just like, yo, like, going crazy. Going crazy on glory holes and. Yeah, but you didn't know he was. You didn't know Wham.
A
I mean, I barely know Wham. Dude, that's from, like, the 70s. Am I making that up? I don't know.
B
80S, I believe. Yeah. Mid to late 80s. Where did Wham come from?
A
Where didn't it come from?
B
I guess. Yeah.
A
Comradery. Comrade, comrade on me. That's where it came.
B
Wow. Crazy. And I can't believe you don't like Last Christmas. That's a good one.
A
I don't like hate. It's just not like, yo, it's a banger.
B
I mean, I'm not saying it's the best, but I'm saying it's good. You're saying it's trash.
A
That's what you said last Christmas I.
B
Gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away. This year to save you from tears.
A
I give it to someone special.
B
That could be cruisin for sex too. Last Christmas I gave you my heart. That could mean a sexual thing. The very next day you gave it away. No. Maybe. First of all, what is that?
A
Like I gave you my heart. You're assuming like I told you that, but like the next day you gave it away. What does that mean? How do you give away someone else's heart?
B
Cheated. But that wouldn't very next day you gave it away.
A
Oh yeah. Maybe this year to save me from tears.
B
Tears. I gave it to someone special. Yeah. New love. Beautiful.
A
Wham Christmas.
B
Who else was in Wham?
A
Frank, I didn't even know George Michael was in it.
B
I'm shocked you didn't know that.
A
I had no idea.
B
Wham. Members.
A
Come on, Frank, it doesn't matter. It's a 400 year old band.
B
Joey. 35 year old band. Andrew Ridgely don't know it. Dion Estes don't know it too. Hugh Burns, you guessed it here. Danny Cummings spelled the way you would expect.
A
Spelled the Sabrina Carpenter way.
B
Crazy.
A
Damn. All right. Anyway, we do have some sponsors for today, the first one being hello, zocdoc. Zocdoc is a platform that is going to help you find and book doctor's appointments with doctors in your area that take your insurance. When you turn a certain age in this country, you have to get your own insurance. I think it's 26. I don't even know if that's true anymore. I don't know, the whole thing is burning. But when you get your own insurance you're probably like, I don't know if I can even go back to the same doctor or whatnot. And before they were sponsored on the show, I was using ZocDoc to find out which doctors in my area took my insurance and who's a good doctor? I have no idea. I only went to one my entire life. So with this, it's a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in network doctors and you can choose the right one for your needs. It's not just primary care physicians, although there is that. But you could find like specialists and stuff too, like eye care, skin care, a dermatologist and whatnot. So you can find all that with this as well. And they are patient reviewed. So our patient rated or reviewed whatever it is. So the patients give them a score after they leave. So when you Find a doctor that has a good score out of five, you're like, okay, cool. And then you see their next available appointments and usually that's within 48 hours. So it's a quick turnaround. So if you need, you know, to book a doctor's appointment or anything, you could do it with Zocdoc and you can do so right now. So stop putting it off. Stop putting your doctor's appointments off and go to Zocdoc.com basement to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today. That's Z O c d o c.com basement okay, so go check it out. Zocdoc.com basement and we also have hello, Fitbod. Fitbod is going to get you in shape, okay?

We have announced some new stuff that's going on for our patrons and we're not going to stay in here yet, but check it out. Patreon.com the basement here before we move further, bitch fucker. I was driving on my way here and I thought of a science question and I feel like I need to ask.
A
Yes, ask the science question.
B
Well, I mean, you and I, here's the thing, we're scientists, we're not scientists, but we are very good at piecing together possible logic.
A
Figuring out the secrets of the world.
B
Well, yes, because whether it be physics, chemistry, other subjects, language arts, the other sciences, you know, we can figure it out for the most part. But I was driving and I was like, I looked at my speedometer and I was going 70 miles an hour and I was like, okay. I looked next to me and there was a ball, a baseball in my car. Don't ask me why I have a baseball in my car. I have one. And then I was like, wait a sec, this baseball is moving 70 miles per hour. So if I were to take this baseball and I were to throw it as hard as I can, let's say I can throw 70 miles per hour also.
A
Okay.
B
Would that ball then travel 140 miles per hour? Because I'm doing the 70 plus 70.
A
No. No.
B
Why not?
A
Because. No.
B
But it's moving with me in the car. Everything in that car is moving. The speed of the car. If I slam on the brakes, the ball will roll because it is keeping its motion.
A
I. No, no, because why. Let's do this. You're in a pickup truck, right? So we can get in the back.
B
All right. Yeah, let's get in. Let's get in a pickup truck. Let's get into pickup truck.
A
Okay. The truck is moving 70 miles an hour and you have a baseball in your hand. Technically, that ball is moving 70 miles an hour. But if you were to drop the ball right out of the car, it didn't travel 70 miles an hour. It went not. Maybe not well, because that is a different.
B
That is a different direction. A different law of gratitude. Like the law of gravity is moving it that way. Okay.
A
But even if you took. It went like this, like a little forward, it's not gonna go 70 miles an hour that way. Yeah, well, no, it will. It will die down very quickly.
B
But if I throw. If it's move. If it's in my. If I'm going 70 in the car and I throw it, it's going faster than 70. If it's going ahead of the car.
A
No.
B
Why not?
A
Like Frank, 140 miles an hour is so fast. If you're in the back of a pickup truck.
B
Yes.
A
And you throw the baseball 70 miles. Like you could throw 70 miles an hour. You throw it and you're going 70. I don't think it's going 100.
B
Does the direction in which I'm throwing it matter?
A
Of course. We're talking about wind here.
B
So if I'm going. If I throw it with the wind is the way.
A
I mean. Yeah, of course you're throwing it that way.
B
So. So then. Yeah. Why wouldn't it? I think. I think that's a way to get around it.
A
No. So, yeah, dude, I think there's something. And I don't know the terms here, but you know when you're like. You have the baseball, right?
B
Yeah.
A
You're sitting in a car that's going 70 for the same reason why when you throw the ball in the air, it comes right back down to your hand. It doesn't go to the back of the car.
B
I don't know about that.
A
What? You don't know about what? Because that wouldn't happen.
B
Yeah, but if I were to change the speed of the car while I throw it in the air, the car, the ball would still be moving 70 miles per hour. So if I were to take a ball.
A
Hold on.
B
Here we go. Here we go. I'm right there. I'm right there. I promise. I promise. I'm breaking through. Like. This might be a legit big science discovery here, Frank.
A
This is eighth grade physics.
B
Let's be clear. If I have a ball, I'm driving 70 miles per hour. Let's use your example of a pickup truck, since you're white, okay? And I have the ball in my hand and I throw it in the air like this. Nothing crazy. Not like a fucking pop up. Like I throw it, like right here. And then someone gently, let's not say slams, but gently presses the brakes, that ball is still going 70 miles per hour. Same as if they were to.
A
It's not going 70 miles an hour one way, Frank.
B
Yes, it is.
A
No, it isn't. It's not traveling forward.
B
Yes, it is.
A
No, it isn't.
B
I'm driving in a car in a straight line.
A
I know, but it's not traveling forward in the way. In the same way that if you threw it. It's at rest.
B
Yeah, but it's not at rest because it is in relative movement with the car.
A
But not kinetically.
B
But if I were to slam the brakes, the kinetic energy would transfer to that ball. I don't. I don't know. Now we're losing each other here. Parabola. I don't know. Mathematics, bitch.
A
Yeah.
B
Although it does have some room roots in science as well.
A
You don't know what you're talking about.
B
I am Dark mag off.
A
So if you hold this ball right.
B
Yeah.
A
What you're saying is right, because I think that's it. No, no, no, no. You got a tiny little piece, right? If you're standing in the back of the pickup truck, right? And you're driving 70 miles an hour. And you throw the ball in the air and you speed up. The ball's not gonna come right back down. Well, we're also have to do this in a hypothetical where there's no wind. Like in a vacuum. The ball would come right back down. Like if you're inside the car.
B
Oh, vacuum.
A
Because wind pushes. Shit. I don't.
B
Fine. Fine. We're driving in a vacuum.
A
Forget the fucking back of the pickup truck.
B
I'm In a car.
A
And you've done this. You have a ball in your hand.
B
Cars are vacuums, kind of.
A
Right. So the car is going 70 miles an hour.
B
Right.
A
And you throw a ball in the air, it comes right back down in your hand. Yep. But if you were not in this thing, Right. And you threw it and you were going 70, the ball would go flying. But it doesn't happen inside of the car, so.
B
All right, so I hear what you're saying. So let's say we're in a party bus.
A
And how did you think that was going to change anything?
B
Let's say we're in a party bus, and we're playing catch.
A
And we're on the party bus playing catch.
B
Yeah. Yeah. I'm at the back of the party bus. You're at the front of the party bus.
A
Right.
B
And the party bus is going 70 miles per hour. Jesus.
A
By the way, we're dead.
B
This thing better slow down.
A
Yeah.
B
By the way, bring back party buses.
A
I'm in.
B
Yeah. All right. Remember when kids spit spitballs at our party bus?
A
Talk.
B
Okay. What?
A
Party bus?
B
On the way to the wedding, kids spit spitballs. And we were joking. We were gonna, like, stop the buzz and get out and chase them.
A
Oh, I honestly missed that. I didn't see it, but whatever.
B
But we're playing. Being dudes playing catch with a baseball in a party bus. Party bus. Typical guys, party buses traveling 70 miles per hour.
A
Right.
B
Okay.
A
You could toss me the ball. What do you think, Frank?
B
I think it's.
A
Then it's going to go 70 miles an hour to my glove. Are you fucking okay? Obviously, that's not going to happen.
B
I think it might.
A
It won't.
B
Why?
A
Because I can't, Frank.
B
Why? I wouldn't be. All right, all right, all right. You're at the back of the bus, and then I'm in the front of the bus, and I throw it as hard as I can. Is it getting the speed of the 70 plus my incredibly hard throwing speed?
A
Absolutely not.
B
Why not, though?
A
Because of something that I can't name right now. No.
B
Hank Green is watching this, and he's freaking out. Yeah, he's probably having a panic attack ball right now.
A
But listen, the. Hank, I need your help.
B
I know, because you're not.
A
I call. Well, yeah. Yeah.
B
You. You.
A
Yo, Hank Green. By the way, I just want to say this. About 10 out of 10. Love this guy. He DMed me. I gave him my phone number. He will randomly text me.
B
Nice.
A
Like, four, five months apart. A picture of an Animal. That's weird.
B
That's awesome.
A
And then. And then I send one back, and we have a quick conversation, and that's it.
B
I'm kind of jealous. I'll be honest.
A
And then he'll throw one out.
B
Can you message him right now and say, hey, need you for a science question?
A
No, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna.
B
Why not?
A
I don't know.
B
I just. You don't want to. You want to. Well, you never know.
A
Frank, we're.
B
We're.
A
We're on a duck conversation level. I can't.
B
He's just waiting for you to break the ice with a science question. This is what he does.
A
Frankie, you're not getting this right. I doubt you're getting this right.
B
I think if you were to.
A
Let's hold on. You're not an idiot.
B
I know.
A
So don't cosplay.
B
I know.
A
Don't cosplay.
B
But you're on cosplay.
A
Don't cosplay as a fucking moron.
B
I'm not cosplaying as an idiot. I really think so.
A
Now you are an idiot.
B
No.
A
So if we're on a bus and I'm in the back of the bus near the disgusting toilet, and you're.
B
Which always gets pissed all over, of course.
A
And then that one girl throws up all over it.
B
We know who you are. Erica.
A
I was gonna say Sarah.
B
Oh, all right. Yeah, that works, too.
A
Both white names. Remember?
B
Erica's mom? Oh. You weren't at that party bus, were you?
A
You were on a party bus with someone's mom.
B
We were on a party bus for a girl that we knew named Erica. Sweet 16, and I was stone cold sober. And she stopped the bus to come up to me and smell my breath. She stuck her nose in my mouth. Weird. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Was anyone drunk?
B
No. I wish I was drunk. I'll be honest. I'm just. You know, some of us have a good time because we're naturally just fun people.
A
Mmm. Frank.
B
What?
A
But. Okay, I'm in the back of the bus, and then you're in the front of the bus. We're traveling that way. I guess the other way would be with the speed. So I'll be in the front of the bus, you'll be in the back of the bus, and I throw a baseball. You think that if I just go like this, it's gonna go 70 miles an hour?
B
No, but if you throw it hard, it will.
A
If I throw it as hard as I can.
B
Well. Because it is moving. Because it is hold on. I'm on the verge of.
A
Frank, you know that that's not gonna happen, but you know that's not gonna happen.
B
But now if you throw it, there are different forces acting upon it. Gravity, friction. Frank, that doesn't mean Schrodinger's cat. He's back.
A
Whatever cat's back, whatever he's mentioning right now has nothing to do with your answer. You know that. I'm not throwing this ball. If I threw the ball as hard as I could on a party bus, it's not going 140 miles an hour.
B
Frank, let's get on a party bus and test this. I think that there is a test. The mythbusters can help us out with this one.
A
Frank, a seventh grader could help us out with this one.
B
Let's get Hank Green, the Mythbusters, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and anyone over 8.
A
Anyone over 8 years old.
B
I think if we put together that super team of people right there, the avengers of physics, we might be able.
A
To figure half understand.
B
This might be. This might be the hardest question ever asked. But, like, no, it's what, bitch?
A
You know that it's not gonna happen. If I could throw a baseball 140 miles an hour on that bus, I would break the back of the bus.
B
Exactly.
A
That wouldn't happen.
B
I think it would, because if you're throwing with this speed, if it is. Because it is traveling in that direction. So if you throw it backwards out of. At a. At the same, it needs to be at the same or faster speed in order to really get it going. Right.
A
Base.
B
Don't write.
A
I'm not on your side because I think.
B
I'll be honest with you. I'm not fucking around here. I think that there is more to support my claim. We just can't figure it out because we're not scientists. Then there is a. Support your claim.
A
No, Frank. Explain then, how if I'm holding a baseball and I throw it up in the air in a car and it comes back down, why it doesn't go flying?
B
Because it's not have enough time to, like, have another directional change be applied to it. If you were to throw it. Listen.
A
Oh, I'm listening.
B
If you were to throw it higher, then gravity and stuff will slow it down, and then it'll move backward or.
A
Forward at 70 miles an hour.
B
I don't know the exact speed, but I imagine that there is some addition. It's an addition of speed. You're adding speed to speed. That makes it faster. Right when you hit nos. What Happens. Nosy.
A
This isn't a Fast and Furious movie. Nos. Tokyo Drift.
B
Vin, we're on a talking to Mr. Diesel right now.
A
Mr. Diesel.
B
Mr. Diesel. We're on a first name basis, Vin and I. Now you have something for a fight scene in the next Fast and Furious movie.
A
A baseball.
B
Just, like, get, like, a really cool baseball pitcher that also wants to be in movies. Let's use Emmanuel, Class A as an example. Closer for the Cleveland Guardians. He could throw hard. Get a fight scene between him and, like, a real bad guy. Like someone, like, real bad, played by, like, Mark Wahlberg or something, I don't know. And have the whole fight scene just be about Emmanuel Klase throwing baseballs to defend himself. Randy Johnson. There you go.
A
He's a photographer now.
B
I know. Isn't that crazy?
A
It is crazy.
B
But also, guys killed two birds, right?
A
That was cool, but, yeah. No, that's not happening.
B
I think that there is some grounds to stand on there.
A
No, there isn't, dude. You just flat out wrong. I really am excited for people to figure that one.
B
I hope the scientists that watch this can help us out, because I don't know if you could tell. We are not able to deduce the correct answer. But our calculation.
A
One of us can't.
B
No. Bitch. What the fuck do you know?
A
I know everything. Not everything. I don't know. I know, like, 4%.
B
You know, like, four of the things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If there was a percentage on, like, all the universe's knowledge of how much I know. Yeah.
A
Less than 1%.
B
Yeah. There's no way anyone.
A
I don't think anyone is, like, 1% even.
B
Like, I. Let's. All right, let's say the Earth knowledge.
A
What is the Earth knowledge?
B
Like, if we said a universe, of course. Because the universe is ever expanding, Frank.
A
You could do United States. You can make it in New York. You can make it small.
B
Really?
A
Yeah.
B
In this room.
A
I don't know. I.1%.
B
Do you think you know more about things than I do?
A
Do I think I know more about things?
B
If we were to just have, like, a general thing, like general trivia, not about a specific. Like, anything in particular. Do you think you know more or less than me?
A
I don't know. Yeah.
B
That's a really good question, because I. I want to bury you here and.
A
Yeah.
B
But I can't.
A
Honestly, I don't.
B
I think it speaks a lot to my knowledge to not do that.
A
Okay, there's no judges who are gonna come up.
B
Greg is still over there with those cue cards.
A
Greg, Is not here today. Yeah, I don't know. Cuz, you know, obviously, about the things that you know. You know, like everything about those things.
B
Not everything, but I try to. When I am into something, I try to get to know as much as I can.
A
But there are some things that you're just like. There's. You have no knowledge of it whatsoever.
B
What is that?
A
Yeah, modern music, anything. Pop culture.
B
I wouldn't say no knowledge. I would say in the grand 4% grand scheme of things, I would know.
A
Frankie, it wasn't downloaded at some point on an ipod touch. You don't know it.
B
Okay, go on.
A
And I loved my ipod touch. That was a good idea.
B
I love how you're talking shit about ipod touches.
A
Not talking about ipod touch. I'm talking about. We have sponsors. We have more sponsors for today. That was insane. You heard that? Honestly Ate my own face.
B
I didn't want to. I thought that job. That's all I got to say.
A
Okay. But we have Stitch Fix. Stitch Fix. If you want to keep your wardrobe nice and up to date, you can do so with Stitch Fix. You just go on their website. You fill out a style quiz. You tell them what kind of stuff you like to wear, what kind of patterns you know, your sizes, what kind of fit you like, and they will start pulling from, you know, a bunch of brands that you know and love. It's not just like random stuff. It's brands that you know and love. And then you get a box and you got all the stuff and you go, wow, okay, someone, my personal stylist, picked all this out. And then you only pay for the stuff that you keep. And the returns are always free. So it's. It's like that. So I'm pretty sure you can do, you know how, however, you know, often you want to get this box, you can do that. But yeah, you just. It just makes style easy, you know, so it's great. So shopping and figuring out style, you know, it can be overwhelming. You go in there. I don't really like going into stores and stuff. And I got to go in the rack. I got to look at everything like that. I don't really love that. So I'd rather just go online, let someone else pick some stuff. No crowds, no lines or any of that. Just make it easy and do in Stitch Fix. Okay? So like I said, you just pay for the stuff that you keep and you send the rest back and that's that. You got nice pieces there. So you can make style easy. Get started today at stitch fix.com basement. Okay, that is again, stitch fix.com basement. And we also have prize picks. Prize picks. It's the best place to get real money sports action. Okay. With over 10 million members and billions of dollars awarded in winnings, Prizepix has made daily fantasy sports accessible to all. Mainly in my opinion, because of how easy it is to understand. A lot of people think of fantasy sports and they're like, oh, I don't know about this and that. I barely know the roles of football with this. With prize picks, you're just competing against the prize picks projections. Okay, that's a mouthful. But you just pick more or less. So a player like Patrick Mahomes, will he have more or less than 225 passing yards? Travis Kelsey will have more or less than 70 receiving yards, stuff like that. And you can win up to 100 times your money, which is as little as four picks, depending on what, you know, lineup you're kind of putting in. But yeah, so it's a lot of fun. My friends love it. And yeah, it's like, easy to understand. It's just more or less. Also, if you really like to build, you know, lineups and with other, you know, ways of doing that fantasy sports, you can, you know, I would, I would suggest doing this. It's just much easier when you're doing prize picks to do just more or less get four or five in there. You can win a bunch of money doing it, honestly. So you could download the app today and use the code basement to get fifty dollars instantly after you play your first five dollar lineup. So you only have to do is play a five dollar lineup and you will get fifty dollars instantly. Okay? So download the app today, use that code basement, and yeah, get that fifty dollars instantly when you play the five dollar lineup. All right? And lastly here we do have skims. Skims.

Don't let your mouth write a check.
A
That your ass can't cash. That's the one. Ah.
B
So like, like, don't say you can back up, bitch.
A
First of all, how are we Gonna figure out the science question. We can't even get that. We can't even get that correctly. Ridiculous.
B
I wish I was around when, like, those things were said for the first time, because, you know, so someone goes, oh, my God. That was pretty cool.
A
That's pretty close.
B
Pretty sick, dude.
A
There was someone, like, in a bar fight. He's like, don't write a check. I can't remember it now. Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't catch.
B
Yeah. Did you ever hear the one from Blade?
A
Have you ever seen Blade?
B
Yeah. Seen Blade.
A
Like, Wesley Snipes? Blade.
B
The only Blade to. Actually, there was a TV show with sticky fingers. But, yes, with. With. With Wesley Snipes. Yes.
A
Yeah, I've seen Blade.
B
Do you remember the line, the quote that he says from that movie?
A
Motherfucker.
B
Yeah, he says a lot of motherfuckers. Like, some motherfuckers always trying to ice skate uphill.
A
That's bars.
B
That is such a good line.
A
Anyone ever been on ice skates? Anyone ever try to go uphill on ice skate?
B
Just making life difficult. Like, you're just trying to ice skate uphill. Don't be a dumb bitch.
A
How is that not like an Olympic sport?
B
Ice skating uphill? Yeah.
A
Like, that's hard.
B
That is so unbelievably stupid, Frank.
A
We get in little truck. Not trucks, but we get in little, like, sleds and slide down hills.
B
Go ahead, belittle what your brother almost did in the Olympics. I can't wait till he gets ahold of this. And he's just like, what the hell?
A
You know, people who do bobsleds are actually savages. Like, they're big and strong as fuck.
B
How? You're just in a. Your thing is heavy sled, dude.
A
I mean, the start is, like a very important.
B
You just have to run with it. I'll be honest with you.
A
Faster than other Olympians.
B
I'll be. I'll be very honest with you.
A
Be honest with me.
B
I don't see the skill in bobsledding.
A
No, you have to drive it.
B
How? You shift. I've been in a water slide. I could be a fucking Olympic bobsledder.
A
You're an idiot.
B
No, I'm not. How is that stupid?
A
You have to push the thing.
B
Okay. Run with it and jump in.
A
Hmm.
B
I've done it on tubes. I've done it on tubes at Mammoth Falls and Lake Compounce.
A
Say tubes again.
B
Tubes.
A
Why do you say it like that?
B
Tubes. Tubes.
A
Also, it's about being better than everyone at that thing. Are you not. You don't think that swimming's impressive? It's just swimming.
B
Of course it's impressive. What about track and field?
A
Just running.
B
It's a full body workout. In track and field, you need. You need great stamina. You need to be fast. You need, you know, muscles.
A
So, okay, you're getting.
B
You get in a. You get in a little. You push it.
A
You run and you push this heavy.
B
Okay? And then you sit in a little. Little fucking pod.
A
And then you have to. There's. There's like a steering something.
B
Oh, man. So I could be an Olympic player of need for Speed Underground 2 because I just got to steer something.
A
Oh, my God. I'm gonna get someone who's on a bobsled team to come here and turn you upside down and shake money out.
B
Of your pockets like I'm a bull. Like I'm being bullied. In 1980.
A
Yes. The biggest person I've ever seen. Not the biggest person I've ever seen, but, like, the most athletic looking person I've ever seen was a bobside guy.
B
Yeah, I don't care. You know what I did the other day that brought me right back? I went and used it.
A
You went downstairs and played with your little action figures, and it brought you back to second grade. What else?
B
One day I'm gonna leap across this desk and I'm going to beat you with the power of 30 years of Megazord playing hands. Okay.
A
Megazord playing hands.
B
I was going to say I used a vending machine, and I had to do that thing with the dollar.
A
Which one? Which one? Oh, you had to.
B
Where? I had to straighten because you put it in. I put it in and spat it back out.
A
I hate when there are bitches about it.
B
Dude, I went to a vending machine a couple weeks ago, put the dollar in, and it gave me $2 coins. It wouldn't take my paper money.
A
What the fuck?
B
I don't know. I was so confused. Like, the hell going on?
A
What the hell is going on? I get so mad at vending machines because it almost feels like the vending machine makes that call. Like, it's like person in there being like, no. And you're like, just take it. It's real.
B
Yeah, I did $. But it felt so good doing that again. Just like. Just like ironing out this dollar.
A
You know, like cartoons when they, like, dry.
B
Oh. And he's like, do you do that?
A
I'll do it for fun.
B
I've done it before.
A
I've done it.
B
Yeah. Whatever.
A
That's not how I dry my butt, though.
B
And it never comes out polished. Anytime cartoon characters do that, they do that to their butt and then it, like, it shows, like a. A shine, a clean shine on their butt.
A
Yeah. Are you watching porn? What's going on?
B
No, you never see, like, Ren and Stimpy, they would do that.
A
Wow. Yeah. Ren and Stimpy.
B
Yeah.
A
But. Yeah. What kind of vending machine was. It was the one with, like, the little carrying case.
B
No, it was the little twirly twirls.
A
Those are whack.
B
It was Okay. I didn't.
A
Yeah, I don't love those.
B
Yeah, it was cool.
A
I like the ones that, like, have a little. And then it brings it down.
B
No, we talked about this recently. I like the ones that have the vacuum on them. It's like the dip.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, opens. It's like. And like fucking sucks the life out of it and brings it into the little thing.
A
Jesus.
B
That's what it does.
A
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
B
Yeah, I guess that's what it does.
A
How much is a vending machine stuff now? Is it like mad expensive?
B
Yeah, like a bag of chips is like A$25. A$50. For the 25 cent bag of chips. Back in the day, you could go into the items.
A
$1.
B
Not even that. You can go to the corner store to the delis by us. For a dollar. A dollar, you can get three bags of chips and a fucking drink.
A
A little drink. Yeah.
B
The little barrels.
A
Little barrels.
B
The barrels.
A
The barrels of poison. Yes.
B
Yeah. Yeah. They were. They were not good. They were not. They were not real.
A
Yeah.
B
I don't know what they were.
A
Me neither. But I remember I used to. I think I told you this, but I remember I bought like a squeeze. One of those squeeze drinks. It was like a fruity squeeze drink or whatever. And I was. I think I was like picking you up from school, middle school. And I was walking over with that and someone called me gay because they said that it kills sperm. So I'm gay.
B
Yeah, dude.
A
It's like, yo, if you're drinking that, that kills your sperm.
B
So you're gay. Yeah.
A
And I'm like, where.
B
Let's unpack the logic there. Yeah.
A
I don't get it.
B
Who's the sperm for?
A
A woman.
B
So.
A
So if I'm killing the sperm. But, like, I could still have sex with.
B
But also, if you're, like, worried about your sperm, you probably would have got called gay too.
A
If I was worried about it.
B
Yeah. Why are you so worried about your nuts, dude.
A
Yeah, we're in seventh. Sixth. Seventh grade, dude. What are we doing?
B
It was a minefield to navigate. Yeah. Middle school as a fucking kid in 2004, 2005.
A
Yeah. Dude, you're a gay every other period.
B
Even if you were doing something like. I remember I was in sixth grade. I tried to be romantic and, like, I would, like.
A
See, that's gay.
B
Yeah, exactly. Already.
A
Whatever you did.
B
Exactly. It was hugging.
A
Your mom was gay. Like.
B
Yeah, it was really, you know, it was tough. It was really hard for us. We fought through the straight young men.
A
Who are sensitive and like to cry.
B
Like, to hug, you know, and had to be openly heterosexual. It was really hard for us. You get it?
A
Especially me.
B
White.
A
White.
B
Oh, man. Yeah. How did you even navigate the world, dude? Yeah.
A
I don't know how I made it through, but some of you know, God sends his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.
B
Wow.
A
Yeah.
B
That was. You actually got that one out full.
A
I was starting to speak slow.
B
Yeah.
A
I was like, let me get that. I was like, God sends his dumb bed for.
B
Yeah, that's true. I tell myself anytime I get a stomach ache.
A
Every time you get a stomach.
B
Yeah.
A
You say, oh, man, I just gotta get through this.
B
This is a big bad.
A
When you. When you get, like, a flu or something, you're like, yo, God, No, I'm not a big. You don't cut deals.
B
I don't cut deals.
A
I cut deals with the Lord.
B
You still speak to the Lord. I.
A
When I'm throwing up, I'll be like, yo, if you just get me through this, like, I'll change.
B
I do the classic. I'll change.
A
I swear, yo, that's a real thing that I do.
B
I'll do the classic thing where, like, when my nose is stuffed, I'm like, oh, I took for granted all those times where my nose wasn't stuffed.
A
Yeah. I'll go like a rant being like, you know, I just want my nostril back.
B
Yeah, it was. It's. It's been. I do that. I don't bargain, though. Like, you bargain for good health. I think that's the opposite of what you should be doing.
A
Are you saying Barden?
B
Bargain?
A
Oh, I think you're saying Barden. I was like, first of all, I'm not bargaining.
B
It would also be bartering.
A
Yeah, well, bartering. But I don't have an item to give. You do my faith.
B
You're giving it. Yeah. That's what you're giving.
A
Yo, God, just get me through this.
B
Like, damn, God, wherever you are. Yeah, all around us. So I just do one of these.
A
You look down, so I don't know who you're praying to.
B
All around us.
A
Okay.
B
God. This guy over here is just trying.
A
To not throw up.
B
To not throw up. That's. That's where his faith starts and stops.
A
Sometimes I like throwing.
B
And me, on the other hand, I don't talk to you ever.
A
Yeah, sometimes I like throwing up, though.
B
Hate it.
A
Do you get car sick?
B
You know, recently I've started, but I don't like throw up. I just get, like, a little dizzy and I shut my eyes.
A
Hopefully you're not driving.
B
Oh, I never get car sick when I'm driving if I'm not in Espos like that.
A
He's like, yo, I gotta sit in the front seat. I get car sick.
B
I'm like that. Do you remember in what. What show was it? One of the shows we went to? I sat in the very, very back, and it must have been one of the fucking insane drivers that we had. It was probably Texas, like, I said. Remember I said I was like, yo, chill out, dude.
A
Like, yeah, the drivers in Texas are not.
B
Yeah. Scared to go 100. I said. I was like, I need to sit in the front because I got pretty car sick. I think I might have been la, actually, because of the, like, the hill where we stayed.
A
It was very loop de loop.
B
It was loop de loop dees. So. Yeah, but they say, like, chew minty gum and that can help a lot.
A
Really?
B
Yeah, that's what they say.
A
I've never heard of that. Yeah, I don't get car sick, though.
B
Consider yourself lucky.
A
Do you get. Do you have a. Like a. Like a gag reflex?
B
We're not doing this again.
A
No, no, no. By the way, every eight days, I'll get the video of you shoving your fingers down your throat.
B
Merry Christmas.
A
And I always think about. Because now there's so many pages that post our shit.
B
Yeah.
A
And I appreciate all you guys.
B
Yeah.
A
You guys are helping the show grow. But. And it's just so funny to imagine, like, people who have no idea who we are for the first time. They'll see something like.
B
That's the clip they see.
A
And they're like, what the fuck was that?
B
There was one clip that I saw that would, like, someone was putting together, like, a basementyard Alphabet.
A
I saw that too.
B
A is for. And then there. I think that was for, like, W. It was like, W is for what? You know, or something like that.
A
Yeah, I saw the Alphabet where it was like, A is for whatever. And be. Yeah.
B
Speaking of Alphabet. Alphabet. You excited for Wicked?
A
First of all, we already talked about this.
B
I know. It comes out soon. It comes out in the next week. I think.
A
I know.
B
This weekend. I think it's. It comes out.
A
What if I'm going to make you go.
B
I have. I'll wait till streaming.
A
You're not.
B
I'll wait till streaming. Pick it.
A
To get a show. But your door, though.
B
I have a very busy weekend.
A
Oh, who's gonna. Yeah. Like any other day. Matinee, baby.
B
I don't really know if maybe you.
A
Live in one of those towns where they do it for free.
B
No, they do five dollar movie Wednesdays, though. I went and saw two movies in one day. One time.
A
Be cool if you didn't shoot finger guns at me, because it's not 1998.
B
I went, saw two movies on a Tuesday. One one time.
A
Two in a row.
B
Yeah, it was.
A
How much popcorn did you eat?
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not. It was more nachos.
A
You get extra butter.
B
No, I don't. Movie theater butter makes me sick.
A
Really?
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I did slam about two of those fucking. Two. Two plates of those Pretzel bites. Bitch.
A
I was gonna say. I don't even go nachos. I go straight pretzel.
B
Pretzel bites. Popcorn. Big Coca Cola. Big fat Coca Cola, boy, man.
A
Yeah.
B
The small things in life.
A
Coca Cola, it's a gigantic company, dude.
B
You see they have Coca Cola flavored Oreos. I'm gonna make you try those.
A
That sounds disgusting. Also, I think I actually saw, like, Coca Cola like, made a commercial, but it was like strictly AI and people.
B
Are not happy with, like, how I watched it.
A
I was like, what about this?
B
The whole commercial.
A
But it's. It's like a cartoon.
B
No, the people are. And they say that like you're the animators, bro. Oh, wait. I think I know where you're going with this. I think I know where you're going. The Chernobyl videos.
A
No, I saw a thing where it's like these two podcasters.
B
Oh. And they find out that they're AI.
A
But they find out that they're AI, and they're like, so we just found out some news. And then they're like talking to each other about apparently we're not real apparent. Whatever. And I'm just like. That was the moment where I was like, are we in a simulator? Yeah, because it's happening to them. Maybe we're them.
B
Yeah, it's.
A
And then someone's watching me.
B
I People have been posting, like, videos. They're clearly AI, but they're like Chernobyl videos.
A
What? Oh, d. What the fuck is that? Is that a bug? Oh, that's a spider. Frankie, turn it off. It's a spider.
B
Look, just look. Just look.
A
I'm not looking at it because it's gonna jump at her. All right?
B
Look at this one. Someone in.
A
Is there animals?
B
It's a suit. No, it's a suit.
A
Is there bugs?
B
Joey, just watch.
A
There's a girl crawling and then. What was that? A crab?
B
I don't know what it was.
A
Frankie.
B
Frankie.
A
Yo, dude, I'm. Dude, I. I don't even know what to say. If that were to happen to me. It's like these AI videos of someone crawling through a fucking crawl space. And there's a fucking. There's a fucking. Frank, stop showing those videos.
B
Why? They're pretty cool.
A
How does that not freak you out?
B
I mean, because I know it's fake. If it were real.
A
I just don't like watching shit crawl.
B
I saw one that I need to show you.
A
I saw this. It was like crawly shoes, just not for me.
B
It was a London sewer one.
A
Not me.
B
No money. Time to rewatch.
A
Hold on.
B
Time to rewatch.
A
Oh, no. Oh, no. What the fuck is that? No, Frank. Last thing I want to say. Last thing I want to say.
B
Hey.
A
Isn'T it crazy? I was about to yell at you, but isn't it crazy that when we were younger and we saw Harry Potter, it was like me and you had that inside joke about that scene and then the Internet felt that, too. Isn't that weird?
B
Yeah, man.
A
Where it's like, when we were younger, before there was TikTok or any of this, it was like we were always make fun of, like, not me, not a morning. And then it became a thing and I'm like, do you remember? Just like us.
B
Do you remember when anything, anytime we'd be, like, playing sports and Keith would do something, we would scream at the top of our lungs, 10 points for Gryffindor.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah, that was fun. Time to rewatch those movies. Although, don't condone some of the crazy stuff that J.K. rowling has said. Those movies are great.
A
They're. They're maybe the best movie series ever.
B
Your favorite. Say that. Okay, you could say that, but, like.
A
I could stand on that if I want.
B
Like, can you?
A
Yeah. What's better than it?
B
Ah, the Dark Knight trilogy.
A
Oh, what?
B
No, it ain't. Dude. Bro, show me three movies, eight hits in a row. So show me three that's a little loose. Okay.
A
One bad one.
B
There's, you know.
A
No.
B
Show me any of the three Harry Potter movies. Don't get me wrong, I love Harry Potter.
A
Yes.
B
Show me any three that even stand even. Even, like, artistically close to what the Dark Knight trilogy did artistically. Well, that's what you want. That's how we're rating the scale, saying.
A
It was the best series.
B
I think you're a dumb bitch.
A
That much is clear. All right, well, I guess that's it. But, Frank, where can they find you?
B
You can find me at Gringotts. Going on after I cross over platform.
A
Nine and three quarters.
B
Dude, I'm gonna. Again, free plug here. You ever heard of New Rockstars?
A
No.
B
Their team is doing like a full breakdown of all the Harry Potter movies right now. Because, you know they're coming out with a show, right?
A
Yeah. And I'm fucking hype.
B
Yeah. And every season is gonna be one of the books.
A
That's so cool.
B
Yeah. You're so pumped. I saw.
A
And they're making a new video game too. Fucking destroyed.
B
Let's go. Let's go. Replay. Let's go. Replay. You know what was it? Hogwarts Legacy.
A
Yeah.
B
I never finished it. I did, you know. Never finished it.
A
Loved it.
B
It was fun.
A
I would just fly in my broom and beat up trolls.
B
Hippogriff. Yeah. You're flying a Hippogriff? Yeah. I forgot my guy's name was. But it was something stupid.
A
I don't remember mine either. It might have just been my name.
B
I'm a little bit. Do me a favor, redo the game, but name it after what you think J.K. rowling would have named the character?
A
I mean, she named all the characters.
B
But I'm saying, like, what she would instead of it being Joe Sanegato. Because I can almost guarantee that the wizard Joe San Agato is here.
A
It's such a whack thing to do.
B
It sucks, dude.
A
Yeah, it does suck. What again? Dope.
