[Joe]

Welcome back to the base. Welcome back to the basement yard. My co host is over here. It's about to suck his pinky. What is he really doing?

[Frank]

Oh, careful. You decided to dress like a Christmas tree today.

[Joe]

Why are you starting every episode?

[Frank]

I gotta be honest. I gotta be. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Forgive me. You want to start over? I'll start. Let me open.

[Joe]

Go, go, go, go, go. Josh, keep this in.

[Frank]

Yeah. No.

[Joe]

Yeah. I want to see how you're so angry these days.

[Frank]

Welcome back to the basement yard. It's Frank from the basement yard. I'm here with my co host, Joe.

[Joe]

You look like a fucking idiot. See, this is how you start episodes. I know.

[Frank]

You know? You know, it's just. It's that time of the year where I gotta. I gotta, like.

[Joe]

First of all, it's supposed to be the most joyous time of year.

[Frank]

It is the most joyous time of the year, but the time of the year, the most wonderful time of the.

[Joe]

Year sang by Andy Williams, not Bing Crosby. He's a bad guy.

[Frank]

Yeah, well, I'm sure all of them did some shit.

[Joe]

I'm sure they were all swinging. Swinging?

[Frank]

You forget swinging like. Oh, you mean swinging. Yeah. No, not like swinging like.

[Joe]

You're right. Well, they were probably doing that too.

[Frank]

I don't know.

[Joe]

Oh, swinging. I thought you were meant. Dancing.

[Frank]

Oh, I thought you meant. Now we have three definitions of swinging. I thought you meant like, fucking each other's friends and shit like that.

[Joe]

Oh, well, props.

[Frank]

You think they were doing all that?

[Joe]

I think so. Weren't they all messing with their secretaries back then?

[Frank]

Well, yeah, but that was. That was like. They believed that. That was like. That was. That was what men are meant to do.

[Joe]

Cigarettes, whiskey during the day.

[Frank]

I'll be honest with you. The. Drinking during the day, whiskey during the.

[Joe]

When light is out is kind of wild. Really?

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

That's crazy.

[Frank]

I don't hate it. I don't hate it.

[Joe]

I hate it. Really? I don't think I've ever had whiskey when the sun was up, man, that wasn't mixed with.

[Frank]

Yeah, well, yeah, exactly. A Jack and Coke doesn't.

[Joe]

But like, drinking like a whiskey neat is bananas. And the sun is out.

[Frank]

Yeah. You need to put an ice cube or two in that. Although, you know, like, people get into the whole. Like, you're ruining it.

[Joe]

I drink everything. Not everything, but like, I drink with. Actually, I guess everything except wine. With ice cube water too.

[Frank]

Like, if you get a lot of.

[Joe]

Water with ice Cubes.

[Frank]

I do too. But I'm saying, like, if someone gives you a cup of water, would you like with ice or without ice? You'd prefer.

[Joe]

I'm not going to make them do an extra.

[Frank]

I mean, it's right there. It's right there.

[Joe]

I know, but I'm not going to ask. I'm just going to say, can I have a cup of water?

[Frank]

Yeah. I don't know if I'm at your.

[Joe]

House, not your house, but anybody's house, and I ask for a cup of water and you hand me room temperature water. This is a pigsty. Really? Yeah. That's insane.

[Frank]

Really? Do you make it cold, bro? Do you know that I. I met people in my life that like, prefer room temperature water. I don't mind it.

[Joe]

What are they? Lizards?

[Frank]

I guess. I guess so. I guess so. It doesn't. I have no. I'm not staking my flag in any part of the ground here. Like, I don't feel any particular way about the temperature of water.

[Joe]

The water should be on the colder side. I'm not saying it has to be freezing cold, but like you're gonna hand me room temperature water like I'm drinking out of the toilet.

[Frank]

Too cold, though. It hurts my throat. Yeah, don't go too. Don't go too cold because then it gets. My throat gets too cold and I could like track the water go down my esophagus into my stomach. I don't like that.

[Joe]

I do that with coffee pretty much every day. You drink hot coffee and it's like I could feel.

[Frank]

Really? I was just gonna ask a stupid question, but I shouldn't. Right, Right.

[Joe]

No, you should.

[Frank]

Okay. Water goes in your stomach.

[Joe]

Where else would it go?

[Frank]

I don't know. Like, it gets like. You know how there's like leech fields and stuff like that? I'm like, no, I don't. Never heard of a leech field?

[Joe]

No.

[Frank]

Well, because at the lake house we had septic tanks, which.

[Joe]

Frank, you're a human being, you're not a septic tank.

[Frank]

I. Listen to me. First of all, you ask the right people. Depending on what I eat, I am a septic tank. Ok?

[Joe]

Is.

[Frank]

You know, we all are sometimes. But when we were setting up the septic tank. Septic tanks are meant to just house solids, like the liquids. If it houses liquids, it could fill up prematurely. And, you know, it's not a good system. So you install something called a leach field. So it's like a tube that comes off of your sewage line. So like liquids just go into the ground.

[Joe]

I think that everything goes into the stomach, and then it kind of, like, goes.

[Frank]

But I'm saying, like, I would imagine this would be. Hold on. This might be. I guess I can't pitch this invention to anyone because we're all made by the same creator.

[Joe]

You're also getting things wrong, so I don't know that you're inventing, but, like.

[Frank]

What if we changed our body? So, like, when you drink water, it, like.

[Joe]

Oh, you want to reinvent the human body? Go ahead.

[Frank]

I'm just saying, wouldn't it make more sense if water didn't go in our stomach and it, like, the stomach was just, like, only for solids, and water seeped into other stuff.

[Joe]

I agree. Well, I think that it should just be spread out. My arms, my hands, my legs.

[Frank]

Right.

[Joe]

Like, everything's right here.

[Frank]

That shouldn't. That is poor design. Hey. God, I know you're watching because you're always watching. You. Santa Claus.

[Joe]

And that's it.

[Frank]

And the devil. And Big Grandma.

[Joe]

My dead grandma.

[Frank]

Big brother. The five big parties that are always watching the birds. Wait, big birds, too?

[Joe]

Yeah, that's the government.

[Frank]

The birds. Big Brother.

[Joe]

Big Brother is the government.

[Frank]

Oh, okay. So we'll put them together. Big brother.

[Joe]

Right?

[Frank]

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, God, your grandmother, the devil.

[Joe]

Right.

[Frank]

Always watching.

[Joe]

What a group. It sounds like a cool tattoo.

[Frank]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, reinvent the body, you know? Like, there are certain things, like, we don't need. Like, some of the stuff we got in there, like, isn't, like, a gallbladder, like, pointless.

[Joe]

Well, also, what's piss? You know what I mean?

[Frank]

That's water.

[Joe]

Yeah, but what it. But, like, how does it get there?

[Frank]

Well, I think it has to go through our, like, our, like, kidneys or pancreas or something. Yeah, but, like, it, like, fishes out the bad stuff, so we're pissing out the bad stuff. So.

[Joe]

So here we are. Just bear with. I know there's people who are smart to listen to the show and why.

[Frank]

I'll ask why.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah. You're not really helping yourself.

[Frank]

You're not.

[Joe]

But here's. I'm with you now. Okay. I mean, it goes into the stomach because it has to. And if it doesn't, that is a complete shock to this person.

[Frank]

These pieces. Persons.

[Joe]

Pieces of person. Yeah, but when you drink water, right? And it goes into the stomach.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

How does it get to the kidney? Because there has to be some sort of filtration.

[Frank]

I imagine there's like an old, you know, like, you know, because you. You obviously, you Remember crossing guards? They're all old and white. I imagine there's, like, an old white crossing guard who's just like. Hold on, hold on. Piss that way.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

You know. And you, chocolate over there.

[Joe]

Yeah. You know, I should have paid more attention to Osmosis Jones. That movie probably explains a lot of stuff. Oh, I have idiots.

[Frank]

Like, I haven't watched. Careful with the idiots.

[Joe]

But, I mean, that's the only reason why I know what a uvula is.

[Frank]

Puss. Oh, no, that's not the thing back in the throat. The back of the throat. Yeah, I haven't watched. I'm sorry. I thought you were saying. No, no, urethra.

[Joe]

No, you were thinking vulva.

[Frank]

Oh, see, now we're getting into cars.

[Joe]

Urethra also is down there.

[Frank]

Now we're getting into cars and shit.

[Joe]

Yeah, no, Volvo's now.

[Frank]

Volvo vulva.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

You know, hey, whoever. That car, Velma.

[Joe]

You know what I mean?

[Frank]

Oh, now we're getting.

[Joe]

Underrated character in Scooby Doo.

[Frank]

By the way, I think appropriately rated her show.

[Joe]

Better than Daphne.

[Frank]

Come on, dude. Better than Daphne. Come on, dude.

[Joe]

Better than Daphne.

[Frank]

You're crazy.

[Joe]

I'm not.

[Frank]

Listen, I think that there are audiences for both characters. Yeah, but if you're walking around and saying that Daphne had it going on more than Velma.

[Joe]

No, no, Velma had it more.

[Frank]

I'm sorry. You're right. If that's what you're saying, I think you're a little. You're a little crazy.

[Joe]

Listen, one for you, one for me.

[Frank]

Fair.

[Joe]

Yeah, fair.

[Frank]

The bob cut lost me. You have to admit, the haircut kind of sucks.

[Joe]

Hair can change.

[Frank]

Hair can change. And it. I'll go one step further. Should.

[Joe]

Well, it's all about the vibes.

[Frank]

But she was also kind of a dork, you know?

[Joe]

Yeah, but then, like. But, like, the dorks. I do, like, sometimes the dorks got.

[Frank]

I do like dorks.

[Joe]

You know what?

[Frank]

You got to pull me back here, because Becca's a dork, and I like dorks.

[Joe]

Is she the word dork? If you mix the word dork sounds like when you throw something and it bounces, like.

[Frank]

Exactly.

[Joe]

Doink is what I'm thinking.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

This show is stupid. I hate this show. Really? No, I love it. Oh, okay. I absolutely love it.

[Frank]

What are you gonna say?

[Joe]

And also, we still don't know where the stomach is going.

[Frank]

No, the stomach isn't going anywhere. It remains firmly intact. What's holding the stomach up?

[Joe]

The intestines.

[Frank]

It's just sitting. What's holding our intestines I think our gooch.

[Joe]

The organs are like connected to muss that.

[Frank]

Right? See this? It's all hooks. This is. It's all hooks and bags. That's all the human body is. Hooks, bags. That's it.

[Joe]

But also, like, I don't understand how I can eat something and then lay down.

[Frank]

And it doesn't just come up because muscles. I think, I think, I think, I think. Well, I don't know about all that.

[Joe]

I meant like that.

[Frank]

Yeah. I don't know if they're holding them in, you know?

[Joe]

Yeah, well, take it easy.

[Frank]

That's what you were doing.

[Joe]

I was not doing.

[Frank]

You were jerking off your stomach.

[Joe]

I was not. You spit on your hands and did that.

[Frank]

I didn't. I did this. Dry, dry. Baby, there's no spit on this.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Frank]

I don't need dry. Come on now. See, now you're getting out of control.

[Joe]

All right, back to you.

[Frank]

Looking like a bar of soap.

[Joe]

Right?

[Frank]

So if a soap was this color.

[Joe]

I'd love it there.

[Frank]

There are soaps that color. Free plug for them. Dr. Squatch has some soaps that color.

[Joe]

You love that, Squatch?

[Frank]

I do kind of like it.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

You know, if they want to, that'd be something.

[Joe]

You know, soap is a big one for me. I love it.

[Frank]

Where do you. How do you stand? Like, what's your soap like? Walk me through your soap routine. And I'm not saying like. Like, how many soaps do you use during a regular shower? Oh, what is the method in which you use them? Is there an order? Because I have an order and a method.

[Joe]

Well, we've gone over the order numerous times. I will say this. I don't think I'm shampooing enough.

[Frank]

No, I think you're probably. How many times do you wash your hair?

[Joe]

I hope hardly.

[Frank]

That's good. Your hair should. You should allow your hair to build up its natural oil.

[Joe]

I get. I get dandy.

[Frank]

Oh, so then you got up head that. You got a up head. You need to use some head and shoulders or something, babe.

[Joe]

Knees and toes.

[Frank]

Well, no, no, the knees and toes, you can, you know, you use those enough when you're on all four of them. Yeah, I think.

[Joe]

You pig. Okay, now you're way too excited. That was insane.

[Frank]

Saying pig is coming back. Yeah, it's fucking Jumanji. Jumanji's going.

[Joe]

That sounded like a fucking 10 foot phone started vibrating. What was that? Did you hear that? Now I'm talking to the camera.

[Frank]

How do you know. How do you know what big vibrations sound? Like, huh, Frank, you sitting on Sibyns?

[Joe]

Don't make me say it. Sitting on Siby. Yeah.

[Frank]

I don't know.

[Joe]

No, I would though, but with jeans on.

[Frank]

Crazy. Absolutely.

[Joe]

You wouldn't just hop on to see what's going on?

[Frank]

No. Why?

[Joe]

You too manly.

[Frank]

I'm too afraid. Toxic.

[Joe]

Masculine.

[Frank]

I'm too afraid.

[Joe]

Right?

[Frank]

My masculinity is Frank. Grimer. Muck. Coughing. Very toxic, Joey.

[Joe]

Oh, okay. I was like, where are you going with that? That was crazy. You're a dork.

[Frank]

Doink dork. And pig. You're a dork in a matter of like five minutes.

[Joe]

Listen, I didn't say pig.

[Frank]

You just said pig.

[Joe]

What did I say?

[Frank]

You called me a pig.

[Joe]

For what?

[Frank]

Something.

[Joe]

I don't think I called you a pig. I think I just said pig. Like pig. Ah.

[Frank]

Josh, run the tape back.

[Joe]

Yeah, you picked it. You wouldn't get on Sibian, though, because you think it's. What? You think it's gay?

[Frank]

I mean, I guess I would, but I have no desire to find out if I like getting my ass fucking tickled.

[Joe]

I just peer pressured you.

[Frank]

You did awesome.

[Joe]

I get on it, though.

[Frank]

Really?

[Joe]

I don't even know what.

[Frank]

By the way, you also. You said jeans, which is why.

[Joe]

Well, I'm not going to, like, fucking sit on it raw.

[Frank]

I'm not. There's so many things in between raw and jeans, Joey.

[Joe]

I just. Jeans would have a good barrier between me and the sib.

[Frank]

Yeah, but then if it would rub on you that it would be like fucking starting a fire with some kindling.

[Joe]

That is true.

[Frank]

You have very dry pubes. You've often spoke about that.

[Joe]

I don't know if I've ever said that out loud, but I feel like you're right.

[Frank]

So it might start a fire.

[Joe]

Very dry.

[Frank]

So wait, so what is your pubes.

[Joe]

Would just go up and flames?

[Frank]

All hair. All hair.

[Joe]

No, but like, pew. Specifically, I saw a video recently of a Christmas tree going up and I was like, damn, that's quick. And I imagine pubes is like that.

[Frank]

You know what? Go home, do an experiment. Put some of your, like, beard hair on the. You know, light that up. Put some pubes, put some head hair. See what happens.

[Joe]

Yeah, stinky hair stinks.

[Frank]

It does. Stinky when it's burned. Yeah. Whoa.

[Joe]

Speaking of hair, wanted to talk. That's a weird way to segue into.

[Frank]

Yeah, we're not.

[Joe]

But I saw a thing that. Because I tweeted about it, but, like, apparently there was a study done about hot dogs. You know, how we feel about hot dogs on this show. And it was like human DNA was found in American hot dogs. Clear Fuse Clear Foods analyzed 345 hot dog products and found human DNA in 2% of the samples. And then I said, I don't. I don't really know what they'd have to find in hot dogs that would make me stop eating them because I just found out that it isn't human DNA. So I'm gonna continue eating hot dogs even if you tell me there's 2% people.

[Frank]

Hold on, hold on. Let's do some simple math here. Sure. 345 hot dogs.

[Joe]

What's 2%?

[Frank]

What's 2% of that?

[Joe]

Few dogs.

[Frank]

Like, like seven.

[Joe]

What's.

[Frank]

Well, let's. Let's think a third half of that is what?

[Joe]

Well, 2% of a hundred is two. So you have six right there.

[Frank]

Six. Like, so let's say. Let's say seven and change.

[Joe]

It's like eight. Maybe.

[Frank]

Maybe six and change. So let's say seven.

[Joe]

I'll give you nine.

[Frank]

It doesn't matter. I'm going to say this. If 2% of all of the hot dogs I've eaten in a season happens to have a little bit of human DNA in it, yeah, I consider that a job well done.

[Joe]

I mean, bro, also, if you tell me that if I eat my own finger, it'll taste like a hot dog.

[Frank]

Oh, we're going to have a bigger problem. This finger is going down my throat. Let me tell you didn't.

[Joe]

Jesus. But yeah, I'm eating parts of me, probably.

[Frank]

I don't.

[Joe]

It'll make surviving plane crash a lot easier if I know that humans taste like hot dogs. If I got to eat my friend because we landed on the side, I'll tell you this.

[Frank]

Oh, God.

[Joe]

This is.

[Frank]

This is weekly. We need to be careful. If it came down to a drastic, heartbreaking situation like that and we had to eat each other and we cooked each other and it just tasted like hot dogs. Honestly. Happy accident, let me tell you.

[Joe]

Hell yeah, dude. Like Bob Ross. Happy accidents. Also regeneration. Like if you.

[Frank]

I don't think. I don't think humans, Frank.

[Joe]

If you cut a piece out of my leg, it's gonna grow back in some capacity.

[Frank]

We're not lizards. Joey. I don't think, like, if I cut off your toe, your toe doesn't come back.

[Joe]

Not a whole toe. I'm taking. Take a little chunk out of.

[Frank]

I think. I think. Joey, I think I can't make more tissue. I don't know if your body's gonna think about cuts. Yeah, cuts is different. Healing your skin, it fucking. It seals it back up.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah. Which is crazy when you think about that. The fact that you get a cut and it just closes and goes away.

[Frank]

I've gotten cuts so thin that I just, like. I remember once I cut this part of my hand here with a box cutter and it was so, like, I just held it like that to, like, go get a band aid. And then when. By the time I got to where I was going, it had already sealed. But, like, it still hurt. You know what I mean? Yeah, it was just. But I. I. First of all, what kind of human DNA are we talking?

[Joe]

Because that's what I'm saying. It could have been hair, which I'll eat a hair. I've eaten hair at restaurants.

[Frank]

Probably. Hair, spit, piss.

[Joe]

Piss. Well, who's pissing into the hot dog?

[Frank]

You're saying people that are turkeys, Joey.

[Joe]

I don't know who's turkey?

[Frank]

You didn't hear about that? That's right, Butterball. Allegedly, there was a PETA had done an investigation and they found people were, like, having sex with their turkeys, which they get some pretty juicy turkeys and.

[Joe]

Like, a live turkey or like the turkey, like a Thanksgiving.

[Frank]

I don't know. I'm not quite sure which is worse.

[Joe]

The alive turkey.

[Frank]

You sure about that?

[Joe]

Yes.

[Frank]

Okay.

[Joe]

I am very positive.

[Frank]

Okay. But of these several ways that I know that human DNA can transfer into something.

[Joe]

Mm.

[Frank]

Piss, spit, hair, hair, Skin.

[Joe]

Skin.

[Frank]

Skin.

[Joe]

You know, skin skin, what it called.

[Frank]

If it's not there, it's like, you know, it's the idea of, like, ignorance is blue bliss. If I don't know it's there, I'm. I'm better off. You know what I'm saying?

[Joe]

I will say 2% is a lot. It is a lot when you think about it.

[Frank]

Yeah. It's more than, like, human error would allow.

[Joe]

It's not nearly high. 6% isn't high enough for me to go.

[Frank]

I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I'm a piece of shit consumer. I'll just be like, what's the name of this company? I just won't have that company's hot dogs.

[Joe]

I will go as far to go out of my way to be like, let's roll the dice.

[Frank]

Oh, like, let's just start eating them. Yeah. Here's the thing. You know us, the Basement Boys, we had another successful 2024, which, you know, another dog sucking season down. It's funny, I actually stumbled upon the Clip recently that we said that for next year, for 2025, this dog sucking season, the theme is going to be the dog sucks you. Which at this point in time, technically. Technically that we can promote that.

[Joe]

I think the dog sucks.

[Frank]

I think technically in a way this is kind of bringing to fruition the idea that like humans and hot dogs now have a symbiotic relationship. We need each other to exist. Hot dogs wouldn't exist if we wouldn't eat them. And we wouldn't exist unless we ate hot dogs. So now it's good with the circle of life. I've been watching a lot of Lion King lately. Hold on here. I've stumbled upon a great point.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

The circle of life. The lion eats the antelope. The lion dies, becomes the grass. The grass gets eaten by the antelope. Circle of life. Hear me out. A human is born. They live their life. They eat a hot dog. They then become part of the hot dog at some point in their natural or post natural life.

[Joe]

Explain that part. What are you talking about?

[Frank]

The human DNA.

[Joe]

Oh, got it.

[Frank]

Whether it, whether it's not.

[Joe]

Yeah, but they're not like, you know, making the hot dog six feet deep.

[Frank]

Well, possibly. What if it's like, you know, what if the human DNA that is the.

[Joe]

Hot dog stand is on top of a cemetery?

[Frank]

Right?

[Joe]

It could.

[Frank]

Or what if I go to say, you know, pay, you know, pay respect, play my respects and lay my, you know, you know, my family member to rest and I touch them one last time and then I sprinkle that over the hot dog factory.

[Joe]

Listen, that'd be disgusting.

[Frank]

It would. But I'm just saying, circle of life.

[Joe]

Yeah, I mean, it's what fuels us all. It's crazy like how long that was and how incoherent it was at the same time. At one point you said we wouldn't exist if we didn't eat hot dogs.

[Frank]

Well, in theory. In theory. Hear me out, Frank.

[Joe]

I've heard you inside and out. And there's. The theory is debunked.

[Frank]

I don't think so. I think through time we have found that some of the greatest contributions to the culinary world have been phallic shaped hot dogs. Subs, popsicles. It is only natural that we keep finding our way back. Like two ships upon the horizon. Eventually they will meet again. And no matter what you do, us humans will always find our way to hot dogs. And hot dogs will always find their way to us. Sausages. Yeah, them too.

[Joe]

Yeah, sausages are great, but they're not technical. I mean, they're round because we shove it in a thing. They're not actually.

[Frank]

Yeah. What do you think a hot dog is, brother?

[Joe]

What is.

[Frank]

It's encasing.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Is it?

[Frank]

Yeah, that's why. When you bite into something, it snaps at you.

[Joe]

I kind of like that. Yeah, that's my favorite part. So I kind of like when. When. When hot dogs have a little balloon knot at the end.

[Frank]

Oh, like the little. Yeah, I know. You're talking like the little asshole at the end.

[Joe]

A little asshole at the end. Yeah, I do like that. I don't know, if it comes to a point. I go. And I bite it.

[Frank]

You bite it off because you're.

[Joe]

But I spit it out.

[Frank]

No, you don't.

[Joe]

I do.

[Frank]

Why do you spit that out but you'll eat the rest of the hot dog?

[Joe]

Because I just don't. I don't know, like, if the hot. At the end of the hot dog has a point, I go.

[Frank]

It's like a water balloon.

[Joe]

I can feel, like, the point. And they go. And I spit it out.

[Frank]

Do you.

[Joe]

At the same time, there's that human.

[Frank]

DNA that's getting into them.

[Joe]

If you ever. Have you ever stirred something? And there's bub. Take the spoon. And I eat the bubbles first and I throw the spoon and then I drink the drink.

[Frank]

What?

[Joe]

You don't understand. I'm saying, if I'm. If I'm stirring something right, and it creates bubbles, what is.

[Frank]

What are you stirring? Soap?

[Joe]

Chocolate milk? I don't know. Or, like, chocolate milk or a protein.

[Frank]

Why do you have such a strong wrist?

[Joe]

No, no, it's not about that, Frank. You. You. If you. Have you ever stirred anything in your life?

[Frank]

I have. I stir all the time.

[Joe]

It makes bubble. I mean, you're stirring fucking tea very lightly.

[Frank]

I don't stir tea. I have it still the way I like it.

[Joe]

Got it? So if you stir anything right quick enough where you're, like, trying to mix something, then there becomes bubbles. I take the spoon and I eat the bubbles and then I drink the drink.

[Frank]

You just want to feel them pop in your mouth, don't you, freak?

[Joe]

No, I just feel like I don't. I don't want the bubbles to be in every sip. I'd rather to get them all out of the way.

[Frank]

Get them out of the way. They're part of the drink.

[Joe]

I know.

[Frank]

I mean, they are the offspring of whatever action, the chemical reaction that you just underwent. I don't pause.

[Joe]

I don't. I don't like them. I Don't like them.

[Frank]

You ever want to eat the bubbles on, like, a beach? Like, you see the beach has, like, bubbles and.

[Joe]

Frank, those look disgusting.

[Frank]

Oh, they look yummy.

[Joe]

You like that? They look yummy because it's also, like, met with, like.

[Frank]

Yeah, it looks like it could be pissed.

[Joe]

It's the jizz of the ocean. Oh, it does look like frothy piss.

[Frank]

It does look like frothy piss. Yeah, but it does look like it would be fun to.

[Joe]

There's, like, a paste also.

[Frank]

Yeah, yeah. All right, maybe. Maybe. Maybe I shouldn't.

[Joe]

Seaweed sucks, too.

[Frank]

Dude, seaweed's delicious.

[Joe]

Delicious is insane.

[Frank]

Seaweed. Have you.

[Joe]

Dude, of course I've had seaweed.

[Frank]

Okay. And you don't like it.

[Joe]

It barely has a taste. And it's salty.

[Frank]

What is delicious about your bug in Frank?

[Joe]

Explain how this is, like, a savory thing.

[Frank]

It is. If you have, like, seaweed chips, it has, like, a savory taste to it.

[Joe]

I don't know what savory means, to be honest.

[Frank]

Umami. It's one of the flavor indicators on your tongue.

[Joe]

I know that, but I don't. I can't. I can't.

[Frank]

Like, soy saucy. It has, like, a. Soy sauce is, like, salty. Yeah, but there's also a new mommy richness to it.

[Joe]

Right? You know, I see now you're saying things that I don't.

[Frank]

I'm not saying anything your brain should not already fucking comprehend.

[Joe]

I know what. Umami is a thing. I just don't know what that tastes like to me. I just don't know.

[Frank]

That's crazy.

[Joe]

I know salty. I know sweet and sour. Like, that's it. I haven't graduated to the other.

[Frank]

How about spicy? Spicy?

[Joe]

Yeah, I know spicy.

[Frank]

You know, spicy. Yeah, you remember that. That fucking. That science experiment we would do in, like, fifth and sixth grade where it'd be like, each of these cotton swabs, or what are they called?

[Joe]

Q tips.

[Frank]

Q tips have a different flavor on them. Put them on different parts of your tongue, and it's just like, here is salty, here is sweet, here is spicy. You don't remember that?

[Joe]

No, I don't think I did that.

[Frank]

Oh, that's right, because you went to a fucking high school where they were just like, all right, each of these cotton balls have different types of holy water on them. Put them on your skin to see what burns you. You fucking sitting bastard. That's you. That's you.

[Joe]

Good joke.

[Frank]

That's good joke.

[Joe]

Joke sucked, but I am jealous. Did you guys ever Cut up open animals.

[Frank]

No, I didn't get to cut open. We didn't get to cut shit.

[Joe]

This is bullshit. Because I think that it's an American staple that when you get to high school, eventually you take it class that you eventually failed. Before that, before you fail the class, you're able to cut open a frog and look at its insides. And then you also see the kid who's like, really into it. You're like, that kid's gonna kill everyone.

[Frank]

A couple people at least.

[Joe]

And we didn't get to cut any. Any animal open.

[Frank]

I'll be.

[Joe]

I realize now as it's coming out of my mouth, me being upset about that is a little weird.

[Frank]

It is. But you know what, though? It's the American dream. Anytime you watch a movie about like high school or middle aged kids, they're always. There's always science class where they're like, today we're cutting open a frog and I'm just like, what's that called?

[Joe]

Dissect.

[Frank]

Dissect.

[Joe]

We never dissect.

[Frank]

Dissect. To me, we were dissecting the Bible. You were. I wasn't. I was. I was dissecting like circles and like the parabolas and like that.

[Joe]

Right.

[Frank]

You know, it didn't. I don't. I. Can I ask you a serious question?

[Joe]

Yeah. I do want to cut open a frog.

[Frank]

Okay.

[Joe]

A dead one, though, but not a live one. What's that movie where the live ones, he like, frees all of them?

[Frank]

There's a movie?

[Joe]

Is that E.T.

[Frank]

I don't. I haven't seen E.T. in quite a while.

[Joe]

E.T. i could be completely so fucking wrong on that.

[Frank]

I'll say this.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

I will shoot for dissecting a frog. I will fall back on a chocolate frog in Harry Potter. Those bitches look delicious.

[Joe]

Yeah, but they were alive.

[Frank]

Ew. Yeah. So.

[Joe]

You ever hold a frog? They're so clammy.

[Frank]

Have I held a frog?

[Joe]

You gotta know that.

[Frank]

I don't think I have.

[Joe]

You remember a frog I almost ran.

[Frank]

Over on my lawnmower? Saw it last second this thing got out of there.

[Joe]

Damn.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

I almost ran over a bird. Okay. The other day.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

They don't get out of the way anymore.

[Frank]

Yeah. Them. Let them go.

[Joe]

I know, but I can't. I'll just.

[Frank]

No, you can. Babe.

[Joe]

I don't. I don't.

[Frank]

I ran over one once. I felt bad for it. I'm sorry. It was an accident, PETA. Yeah, but I was just like. It happened. Now what?

[Joe]

I would feel less crazy about a Bird. But if I ran over, like, a raccoon, I'd feel horrific.

[Frank]

I would feel bad. Unless it was a possum.

[Joe]

No, I feel very. I like possums more than I.

[Frank]

Hell no. Hell no.

[Joe]

You like raccoons? Actually, I might like. Hell, yeah.

[Frank]

I like raccoons more. You ever seen a possum?

[Joe]

Yeah. Yeah. No, you're right. Way better.

[Frank]

Yeah, dude.

[Joe]

Way better.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

You're right.

[Frank]

And ferrets. What?

[Joe]

It's extinct.

[Frank]

That. No, I like ferrets.

[Joe]

You like?

[Frank]

They're kind of cute guys. They're little cute guys.

[Joe]

I don't like them.

[Frank]

If you could pick three animals to extinct right now, who would it be?

[Joe]

Ferrets.

[Frank]

Crazy, but okay.

[Joe]

All fucking bugs.

[Frank]

All of them.

[Joe]

Legit. Every single bug.

[Frank]

Every single one of them.

[Joe]

And that includes arachnids. Mostly arachnids, I would say. And mosquitoes out of here.

[Frank]

Mosquitoes. Listen, I used to be on board with that.

[Joe]

You like them now, but, like, they're.

[Frank]

Like, pivotal to, like, the environment. Like, they are eaten by a lot of different, like, you know, like, bats.

[Joe]

And bats eat mosquitoes. How much. How. How much nourishment can you get?

[Frank]

I kind of like. I like spiders. I. With spiders. Spiders and I are like this, you know, so, like, I don't want to get rid of them. Ticks. See you later.

[Joe]

Ticks get so stupid. Flies.

[Frank]

So flies. But flies. Flies, you know, like, they have a purpose, but they're so. They are annoying.

[Joe]

They are really horse flies. At least give me that.

[Frank]

Get the out of here with a horse. Absolutely. Hell, no.

[Joe]

Yeah, I don't need that. But anything, like, big that you would like, we could do without that. How you feel about hippos?

[Frank]

They're cool.

[Joe]

I like hippos. Do you like them more than rhinos, though?

[Frank]

Hell, no. If it was a choice between keeping rhinos or hippos, I like rhinos because rhinos are also more docile. Hippos that kill more people in the world, I think like any other animal.

[Joe]

That is true. They are. They are. Yeah. I want to. I want to, like, hang out with a rhino just for like an afternoon, just see what he's doing. Because I feel like, See, this is where I'm nuts. And I know that you know this.

[Frank]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Joe]

But like a really big animal. If I could just get really close.

[Frank]

You're confident that you can. I. I know what you're saying. You're confident.

[Joe]

If I can get really close to its eye and just have it look at me and I Could look at it. I feel like it could. I could.

[Frank]

Listen, I have said this and, and you have called me crazy for this. I believe that if you give me and a gorilla like a good 10, 15 minute vibe check, they won't hurt me because I will be like, we'll just connect on a deeper level. I will, I'll do this. I'll admit, once you do this and they do that, you're in. Baby rhinos can't do that shit.

[Joe]

I. But I know, but like, I will admit, in the right environment, that could happen. We've seen Jane Goodall, our girl. I don't know why she's our girl, but she is a girl who has done that. So she's, she hung out.

[Frank]

She's done. She's done with.

[Joe]

No, no, she's boy. She was boys with the gorilla. Yeah, she's dead, but I don't know if she's dead.

[Frank]

Honestly, I don't know.

[Joe]

Dr. Jane Goodall, by the way.

[Frank]

Did they get her, by the way?

[Joe]

No, no, no, no.

[Frank]

Don't ask who they are, but, you know.

[Joe]

Yeah, but the, the. But like a rhino or like an elephant or something like that. Like if I.

[Frank]

Or a whale.

[Joe]

Like, I think if you put me. Put me next to the big eye of a whale and I'm telling you right now, the thing's gonna like.

[Frank]

No, it ain't, Joe, because that means you're in the deep ocean. You. You're dead. Dude, this thing just needs to just fucking waggoo.

[Joe]

Do you know Wag its tail.

[Frank]

Do you know how big blue whales are?

[Joe]

The eye is probably like that big. It's massive, Joey. Dude, it's got to look at me. It's got to feel the vibe.

[Frank]

If you believe you can connect and vibe with a blue whale. Buggin.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Land animal.

[Joe]

He's not going to try and hurt me.

[Frank]

It's a boy.

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah. It's my guy.

[Frank]

Gotcha. Okay.

[Joe]

But he's not going to try and hurt me because he can't. Like, he's not interested in me.

[Frank]

Oh, he is definitely interested in you. And if you even, even have one small, like, thing, one little tick, this thing will just crush you, bro.

[Joe]

They don't fight. They. They're. They eat like plankton and they do krill, actually. Yeah, same thing.

[Frank]

Like, no, it's not.

[Joe]

I mean, it's similar. Nah, they're both like, whatever they are, those little things.

[Frank]

No.

[Joe]

Yeah. But anyway, I would, like, think that if I get close to a whale and I could like, get on it and, like, look in its face. It would, like, get it. They would get what I'm trying to go.

[Frank]

I think. I think with me, it would be a gorilla.

[Joe]

That's. That's dangerous as hell, Joey.

[Frank]

You want to be with the largest fucking animal on the planet, dude, being.

[Joe]

In a room with a gorilla is way more dangerous than being in the.

[Frank]

Open ocean with a fucking blue whale boat right here. Oh, oh, yeah, sure, fine. Put a fucking piece of plexiglass. You're talking about protection?

[Joe]

Oh, no, no, no. I'm talking. I'm not. No. I'm like. You think.

[Frank]

You think. Seriously?

[Joe]

Yes.

[Frank]

You think it's less dangerous to be in for 10 minutes? Let's say.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

The open ocean.

[Joe]

Yes.

[Frank]

With a blue whale with a boat swimming next to it. Okay. You can have a. You can have a boat anywhere.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Then me on that corner and a gorilla on that corner.

[Joe]

100 million percent.

[Frank]

No, I don't.

[Joe]

In a small room with something that if it decides it just had a.

[Frank]

Bad day, you're right.

[Joe]

That it could grab you by the foot and throw you against the ceiling.

[Frank]

I have watched Tarzan. Okay. I have watched Mighty Joe Young, King Kong.

[Joe]

Mighty Joe Young.

[Frank]

You remember that?

[Joe]

Great movie.

[Frank]

I believe that I have the ability to. I'm not saying communicate with this animal, but let it know that I am, like, passing all the vibe checks. I am docile. I'm happy for them. I respect them. They want to be the alpha of this domain. I know I am the real alpha, given an Uzi or a machine gun of some sort. But I'll let them believe that they are the alpha. And I will. I will let it have its time. I. You know, I'll do the thing they do a Planet of the Apes. Planet of the Apes, you know.

[Joe]

How'd that work out?

[Frank]

There was a war between man and apes because man tried to attack apes. I wouldn't. And the nice. And the nice people. Caesar treated them well.

[Joe]

I haven't seen the movies.

[Frank]

God damn it, Joey. You can't try to say. How did that go out?

[Joe]

I literally was like Julius Caesar. What the fuck?

[Frank]

See? God. You really need to watch those movies. They are exceptional.

[Joe]

Exceptional.

[Frank]

They're really, really good. But back to what we were saying. Back to what we were saying. We're still gonna have hot dogs.

[Joe]

Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna have hot dogs.

[Frank]

We're still gonna have hot dogs.

[Joe]

Absolutely. Having hot dogs.

[Frank]

Well, you have to.

Patreon.com the Basement Yard. That would have went in.

[Joe]

You, you. That would have slammed the rim.

[Frank]

That would have went in, though. I didn't even bring up the fact that you're wearing sunglasses indoors for no reason other than. It's just.

[Joe]

I like to mix it up.

[Frank]

Do you? Yeah.

[Joe]

And you, you, you. You say this every single time. It bothers you, doesn't it?

[Frank]

I only wear sunglasses.

[Joe]

Let's dive into that. Why does it bother you so much, Frank?

[Frank]

Joey, this is a show where we like to make fun of each other and have. And have quippy banter. Let's quippy banter.

[Joe]

Was that.

[Frank]

I don't know. You might be dead.

[Joe]

Yeah. I don't know what's going on.

[Frank]

You might be. You might be turned into a mummy. That's how I imagine mummies talk.

[Joe]

I see what you're doing.

[Frank]

You see that, right?

[Joe]

Frank knows that we're talking about pyramids next. Yeah.

[Frank]

Because I don't know if you guys saw, but allegedly, I mean, it sounds like if a mummy were to talk, people are just like, no, it would be. It would be like the first Dumbledore.

[Joe]

To be very thirsty. Yeah, the first Dumbledore.

[Frank]

You know that I'm talking about the first Dumbledore. Yeah. You know what? Listen, kudos to the actor. Richard Harris was the original number Dumbledore.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

But could you have imagined him being Dumbledore throughout the rest of the show.

[Joe]

Bro, he's not fighting anything.

[Frank]

Listen. And spoiler alert for the Harry Potter books and movies. But, like, could you have Imagined that he would like like look at how animated Dumbledore gets in the last. You know, like two or three books or something like that.

[Joe]

That's what I'm saying. He like is like flipping his.

[Frank]

Dude, that scene is so fucking sick.

[Joe]

Which one?

[Frank]

When they go to the get spoiler.

[Joe]

Again with Harry fucking.

[Frank]

When they go to get one of the Horcruxes and he. And Harry gets like pulled under the water and it all. He just sees fire and he just fucking shows.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Double doors. Just fucking. Oh, fucking fire tornado or some shit.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Listen man, I gotta say, he can move. He can move.

[Joe]

He can move. I don't know if it was him. I don't know what I heard. That was.

[Frank]

It was. It was Gambal. You know what I heard which was so sick that the actor that played him in the later movies, Michael Gambon.

[Joe]

RIP Gambon. They're both down.

[Frank]

They took a mole and they took McGonagall and they took Hagrid. Crazy it feels like. And they took Alfoy's mom also. Triply crazy, bro.

[Joe]

I feel like Southern is behind this. Like all of Gryffindor is going down. All the guys who are evil.

[Frank]

A Gryffindor.

[Joe]

No, but he was like very. He was adjacent. He was Gryffindor.

[Frank]

He was in the original Order of the Phoenix. Yeah, I'm just saying like. I forgot what I was saying.

[Joe]

Damn. I'm just saying like. I don't know.

[Frank]

Where is I going with that?

[Joe]

I have no idea.

[Frank]

Oh, I heard that Michael Gambone, the actor that played Dumbledore would hide cigarettes in his outfit. So. Dude, listen, listen. Don't smoke cigarettes unless you're fucking Dumbledore.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Could you imagine being a fucking kid and just like on a movie set where there's a an animatronic dragon and a basilisk coming out of a stone mouth. Although that was the original one. I'm alright. Let's do third movie where it's a fucking werewolf and shit. And then you just see Dumbledore just fucking banging heaters. Just rip it.

[Joe]

Just hacking darts. That'd be awesome. He's like, yeah, 10 points to Gryffindor or whatever.

[Frank]

Yeah. Yo. And he's just sitting back. He is a giant. He's also kind of a drunk. He's got a giant glass of brandy and just cigarettes. And he's just like. So. So I says to Voldemort, like get the fuck out of here. This shit. Horcruxes. I barely know her.

[Joe]

Yeah, Malfoy. I don't know. Malfoy, McGonagall. Malfoy. Your dad looks like a hot woman. What is that about?

[Frank]

Listen up, Hagrid. What are we gonna do about the Tippogriff? What are we gonna do?

[Joe]

Hey, Bellatrix, how about a toothbrush? How about that?

[Frank]

Listen, you might be Lestrange. I'll show you something to get Lestrange. Yeah.

[Joe]

I gotta show you something strange.

[Frank]

Serious black.

[Joe]

Whoa, take it easy, fellas.

[Frank]

I don't see colors. Serious.

[Joe]

A serious African American, I think. You fucking freak.

[Frank]

Oh, my God. Listen, a Horcrux. I had a couple Horcruxes once.

[Joe]

Yeah, Mother's a Horcrux.

[Frank]

Voldemort.

[Joe]

Where's your nose, kid? Disgusting, that thing.

[Frank]

Oh, riddle me this, you little. She has a. Oh, man. How cool would that be if they just had a Behind the Scenes of Dumbledore just posted up?

[Joe]

Yeah, dude. Also, one thing I really noticed about that movie is how dirty Mr. Filches.

[Frank]

Oh, yeah, dude, it's dirty. Yeah. Oh, I'm watching Terrible Trouble.

[Joe]

Yeah. It also looks like he has got a fake eye, but I think it's real.

[Frank]

This dude, he's.

[Joe]

He's so dirty. He's so dirty in that movie.

[Frank]

And. And that cat's a dirty little too, bro.

[Joe]

You work at this. At the most famous wizarding school. Oh, where. Where are you sleeping?

[Frank]

One bath, brother.

[Joe]

Yeah, like one once.

[Frank]

One bath, you know, take a bath.

[Joe]

It's magic.

[Frank]

Do this. It could be clean. Well, no, no, no. He. He was. He's something called a Squib Filch. He's born to magical parents, but he is not magic.

[Joe]

Wow, what a loser. What a loser.

[Frank]

You know what I'm saying? I feel bad because I feel like that's like, you know, now we're getting into like, you know, symbolism for like, you know, some kind of stuff. I'm going crazy. Yeah, Y. Doing something to you.

[Joe]

He had a job. He was fine.

[Frank]

I will say. Imagine being a non magical person working at that school and they're just like, go clean it up. And it's like, you fucking clean it up, bitch. You fucking. Yeah, bro. You fucking won that shit. I just watched Hermione fix fucking Harry's glasses with one flick of a wrist. You want me to clean up this fucking dead troll? The fuck.

[Joe]

Why am I fixing the stairs, bro? Do a fucking. Do a little repair.

[Frank]

Oh, how do I fix a painting that's moving? What do you mean, fix it?

[Joe]

I don't even know how to get up to the ninth floor because the stairs keep moving. Why don't we put an elevator in this fucking place?

[Frank]

Yo, just give me one broom. That's all I ask. Just.

[Joe]

Just one of the brooms are just sweeping themselves. Yeah, what do you need me for?

[Frank]

Yeah, dude, what's the point? What's the point? God damn.

[Joe]

Morning. Myrtle made the mess in the bathroom. She should have to clean it up.

[Frank]

Yeah, just fucking. She splashes into water and now I gotta clean it up. Good old Filch.

[Joe]

Yeah. Yo, that's honestly disgusting.

[Frank]

Yo, they got him. They got him as a servant. I don't like that.

[Joe]

Me neither. And I. I feel like when he was walking around, you could hear chains. Now I'm starting. Now I understand why I'm on his side.

[Frank]

Honestly. Now I can understand why he was such a miserable prick that only loved this cat because that's the only thing that treated him like he was anything in this world.

[Joe]

Wait, wait, what was his cat's name?

[Frank]

Mrs. Norris, you knew I would think that he's having.

[Joe]

He's Frank.

[Frank]

He's. He's fingering that cat's butt so fucking hard. Yes. Dude, he's a weirdo.

[Joe]

It's. What? It's. It's. It's like.

[Frank]

It's.

[Joe]

You know, And.

[Frank]

And listen, Dumbledore, because he's to blame.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

It's your house to blame. It's your place. His house. You know, you're kind of fucked up to this guy. You know what, though? Maybe. Maybe he did wrong. Maybe he was like a former bad guy or something like that. Because I also just forgot, apparently Dumbledore was gay.

[Joe]

Was he gay?

[Frank]

Yeah, that's what fucking. One of the few things J.K. rowling has said after the books came out. That is not.

[Joe]

Oh. She was like, he's gay.

[Frank]

She's like, he's gay and he shits on the floor.

[Joe]

Wait, what? Yeah, dude, I missed the shit on the floor.

[Frank]

Yeah, she said they were just like. Oh. Like, does he wear any? And they're like. No, she. They crap on like, they crap.

[Joe]

That sounds like a troll job there. I think she was fucking around.

[Frank]

I mean, it's really hard to tell. Take most of what she says.

[Joe]

Yo, has anyone. Well, actually, never mind. Hermione is the only person in that whole movie who has ever gone to the bathroom.

[Frank]

I. I always think about that in movies. Not about. Hold on, hold on. No one's pissing. Not about school girls going to take.

[Joe]

Pisses in bathrooms, but when she goes to the bathroom and then she's washing her hands and the Troll shows up in the first movie.

[Frank]

That's the only. No, she was crying in the bathroom.

[Joe]

That's right. She wasn't even crying.

[Frank]

She was crying because of Ron was being a piece of shit.

[Joe]

Right?

[Frank]

He was being a Levio song. Levio song.

[Joe]

No wonder she got no friends.

[Frank]

Yeah, fuck you. You're. You have a poor redhead. Yeah.

[Joe]

You fucking me? You. You have.

[Frank]

You have dirt in your nose, bitch.

[Joe]

Talk about hand me down wizardry.

[Frank]

Droves. I'm just saying. Droves. Not only have I never. Not only have I never met Hermione Granger, the. The actress that portrayed her or the real life character. I'll go to bat for her, dog. You talk shit about Hermione Granger. Yeah. You're gonna get fucked up, dude. That's why she got fucking Victor Crumb, my guy. Yeah, dude. This guy came and he was just like, I like you.

[Joe]

She's like, I'm Russian. She's like, fine.

[Frank]

Yeah, dude. So cool. So cool. Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, but tell me he didn't look like Ben Roethlisberger.

[Joe]

I don't remember. Yeah, wait, no, he didn't. He was just like a Russian dude. No.

[Frank]

Kind of looked a little bit like Ben Roethlisberger, in my opinion.

[Joe]

Whatever. We've been on Harry. This is.

[Frank]

This is the pyramids. But I was gonna say imagine, like we were saying imagine like Dumbledore, glass of brandy, smoking cigarettes. Imagine. No wonder Voldemort was so afraid of him. He was probably being like, such like a. Like, sassy with him and all that stuff, you know, Voldemort would be like, we have to get rid of non Pure Bloods. And he's just like, let's fuck him first. Just roasted him. Just dragging him. Yeah, just be like, nice robes, Snape.

[Joe]

But, you know, it is what it is. Anyway, yeah. Mr. Beast, he rented the pyramids, which is the thing I didn't think you could do.

[Frank]

Hold on.

[Joe]

He rented the pyramids for 100 hours?

[Frank]

If this becomes a clip us originally introducing this, the 20 minutes of Harry Potter talk. And now this part is gonna be incredible for someone to cut through.

[Joe]

I don't know.

[Frank]

Yeah, apparently. What's the price? Was there a price revealed?

[Joe]

Fucking no.

[Frank]

It's got to be in the something crazy. Several million.

[Joe]

How about the fact that you can rent all three of the great pyramids hourly?

[Frank]

100 hours.

[Joe]

Crazy.

[Frank]

I. First of all, no matter what. No matter. Because, listen, we've established that the great pyramids are like structural marvels.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

They're old Enough that I'm not getting in them.

[Joe]

Oh, I'm going, right?

[Frank]

You're going in?

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Get this.

[Joe]

Unless I know there's Beatles in there.

[Frank]

There's. Dude, there's. Have you seen the mummy? Yeah, there's beetles, dude. Yeah, there's beetles. There's books with cool locks on it.

[Joe]

Those I like.

[Frank]

I do like those. And the thing opens a. You know what I'm talking about?

[Joe]

I wouldn't get any. I wouldn't go down any paths that would. Were tight, you know what I mean? Like, I need a big hallway to enter the.

[Frank]

I. I'm gonna go one further. I'm not getting in it.

[Joe]

Would you get on it?

[Frank]

On top of it? Sure, yeah.

[Joe]

Yeah, me too. I would.

[Frank]

I'd climb a couple. Not all the way to the top.

[Joe]

Oh, I'd go up there.

[Frank]

What if it just starts to go?

[Joe]

Who?

[Frank]

The pyramid, brother.

[Joe]

Go what? Collapse?

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Then down I go. Like, you're going.

[Frank]

You're going down like humpty.

[Joe]

What am I gonna do?

[Frank]

You're gonna humpty all the way down to the dumpty.

[Joe]

Yeah, I'm gonna. What am I gonna do? It's not gonna fall down. It's. It's.

[Frank]

Frank.

[Joe]

It's been up for how long it's going down when I climb it.

[Frank]

I mean, honestly, with certain luck, maybe. You never know. I will say that I don't know why anyone in their right mind would go poking around those places.

[Joe]

I'm telling you this right now. If I rented the pyramids and you refuse, refused to go in them, I'd kill you right there.

[Frank]

If you rented the pyramids, I would go in them because it's like, oh, this doesn't happen. Like, this is only for. Right. This is. But, oh, I'm going. I'm keeping my hands in my pockets.

[Joe]

I'm not going to like.

[Frank]

And I'm not touching anything. I'm not reading anything.

[Joe]

I wouldn't murmur anything. Then I'd be scared about, you know, kicking up some spiritual dust.

[Frank]

He's going to go in there and say, what does that say in the wall?

[Joe]

And then. And then you can't read out loud. You do it in your head.

[Frank]

Don't. And even then, I would just, just, just look down. Probably just look down. And don't touch anything, right? Don't touch. Step very carefully, too. I imagine there's a ton of booby traps in there.

[Joe]

Definitely boobies. Definitely boobies. And I also wouldn't open the sarcophagus thing. I wouldn't do that. Although I would love to see, like, a. Like a mummified.

[Frank]

You are a lot braver than I am.

[Joe]

What's brave? It's a dead body. Joey Spirits.

[Frank]

There is enough, like, media about Frank. Mummies.

[Joe]

There's three George of the Jungle movies about it.

[Frank]

Okay, Mummies.

[Joe]

Who's the guy?

[Frank]

Brendan Fraser. Thank you. Don't you dare disrespect. I love Brendan Fraser. I know you are a big fan of Bedazzled and not just for Brendan Fraser, but also Elizabeth Hurley.

[Joe]

Oh, my God. Love Elizabeth Hurley.

[Frank]

Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying I don't know what he's going to do in there. This might between. This between the drones, between the weather, climate, whatever. This might be the end of us. He goes in there, he says one wrong thing and all these streamers have weird names. He might be like. Like, he might be, like, talking about, like, oh, here is Jacksepticeye, and he might fucking bring upon some crazy mummy.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Frank]

You know what I'm saying?

[Joe]

Yeah, yeah, I agree. Whatever. If he gets cursed or something, it's. That's on him, you know?

[Frank]

It's on all of us.

[Joe]

Well, it's definitely gonna spill.

[Frank]

Then he comes out and he's.

[Joe]

Yeah, like this.

[Frank]

And then we're all dead. Dude, if I hear one mention of emotep. Oh, my God, what's that? You don't remember Emotep from the mummy? Is that the bald guy?

[Joe]

What's the thing?

[Frank]

What the hell?

[Joe]

Great, now I'm gonna end up.

[Frank]

Now you're dead, dude.

[Joe]

No, I'm gonna end up on those websites where it's like, he's doing the thing.

[Frank]

Yeah, he's. He was at Diddy's party. He wore the sweatshirt, too. Yeah, yeah.

[Joe]

You know, I never want to be that famous, but that would be a perk when you get to the point where people start to speculate and now you're in conspiracies of like, look, he's on TV doing this, and it's like, it means something.

[Frank]

I will.

[Joe]

I'd be like, what the fuck?

[Frank]

I will say that it's not even just fame. There's a certain amount of wealth that comes along with that. That too, get me to a certain level of wealth. You can say I am in bed with any cult that you want. I don't really care as long as my checks clear and I am safe.

[Joe]

See, I'm. I'm too silly for that type of shit. Because if someone. If people are saying it, what am I to do? Now I.

[Frank]

Now you have to lean into it.

[Joe]

Now I have to lean.

[Frank]

Now you have to lean into it. I would, but then they would say, like, oh, they're making him do that. Is like. They're shaming him like they did with Tom Holland.

[Joe]

I would just walk outside and like a thong and nothing. Be like, oh, my God. Humiliation ritual.

[Frank]

Yeah, they did.

[Joe]

Peace.

[Frank]

Remember, people were doing that to Tom Holland, where they were just like. They made Tom Holland do the You Rihanna umbrella song as, like, a shame. It's like, bro, one of the biggest clips. One of the biggest stars on the planet.

[Joe]

And also Duke a move.

[Frank]

Well, yeah, move. He was Billy Elliott, right?

[Joe]

Oh, was he tap dancing?

[Frank]

I think he was. I think that's where he got started on. On West End. I think. I think he got stolen. West End.

[Joe]

Damn. Shout out to him.

[Frank]

Tom Holland.

[Joe]

Yo, by the way, before we get out of here, I do want to say.

[Frank]

No, no, no.

[Joe]

I've been big on the Timothee Chalamet train right now.

[Frank]

Dude, this dude is just like, you know what? Whatever your conception is of me, here it is on its head.

[Joe]

I fuck with Timothee Chalamet so hard. It's crazy.

[Frank]

Yeah, dude.

[Joe]

Billy, Timmy, if you're watching this, you're not. Let's go grab a. Let's go grab a Pilsner somewhere. Can I join?

[Frank]

Yeah, can I join too? I said let's. Timmy knows. He went on, like, game day, and he was spitting ball.

[Joe]

He was spitting. Spitting ball is insane.

[Frank]

No spitting. I'm sorry, Mr. Chalamet, don't spit and ball. We were talking about him at one point. Remember when you said talk, I said.

[Joe]

His head was square.

[Frank]

We did. We said it's squared.

[Joe]

He said he's angular.

[Frank]

He said his head looked like home plate, which it does.

[Joe]

And that's good because he's got a good job.

[Frank]

A very good job. He's also apparently very talented.

[Joe]

Apparently, bro, he's like the best actor.

[Frank]

I haven't seen much that he's been in. I haven't watched the Dune movies. I have.

[Joe]

Really?

[Frank]

I did watch Wonka, and that was not for him.

[Joe]

What do you mean?

[Frank]

You liked Wonka?

[Joe]

Yeah. Oh, the songs. Oh, the dude's a way better singer than I. I mean, I. I don't know.

[Frank]

Listen, listen, Chalamet, come on the show. Let's just. You can wear a. An oversized sweatshirt, have your mustache. Joey's doing the same thing.

[Joe]

What's up?

[Frank]

Let's have a beer. Let's talk some shit. Let's talk. Timmy, hit him up, bro. Come on, you're right there. You might as well, bro. Where is he? Wait, where is he?

[Joe]

He lives in New York and la, I think.

[Frank]

Get him over here.

[Joe]

Yeah, he's from here, bro.

[Frank]

[Joe]

He grew up. What's it called?

[Frank]

Yeah, he grew up. He was. He's from New York, baby.

[Joe]

LaGuardia, bro. I live by LaGuardia, cuz.

[Frank]

Damn. Yo, listen, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy Shalls. What are we calling him? The May?

[Joe]

What the hell are you saying?

[Frank]

Chalamet?

[Joe]

Let's just call him by his name.

[Frank]

Tim. Tim. Ote Timo team. No, Tim. Let's just call him. Or Big T. Timo Perez needs to get away from. Damn.

[Joe]

Tino Martinez.

[Frank]

Absolutely. Now we're on now. Yeah, I'll call you. Yo, yo, Tino. Tino Martinez. Chalamet. You know.

[Joe]

Wait, what the fuck?

[Frank]

What are you shushed? Yeah, I was. I was confused if you were shushing me or trying to say shallow A. I was ready to pounce on one of them.

[Joe]

Yeah. All my. All my whole tick tock is him like on Theo's show and then on like press runs and doing this and that dude.

[Frank]

He's also promoting his movie where he plays Bob Dylan.

[Joe]

Crazy. Wait, is that Bob Dylan?

[Frank]

No, that's the Rolling Stones. Sympathy for the Devil. Bob Dylan is Bob Dylan. Is Hurricane Isis, Sarah.

[Joe]

Whoa, Isis.

[Frank]

He's all over the place. He is all over. You know what you need to watch? I don't think you ever have watched. You need to watch Walk Hard. The Dewey Cox Story.

[Joe]

Is. Is that the Johnny Cash thing?

[Frank]

It's a parody of all like those music biopics. Yeah, it is so fucking funny.

[Joe]

John C. Reilly.

[Frank]

John C. Reilly, Jenna Fisher, Tim Meadows. Like a bunch of people are in it. You need to. It is incredible. Like, if you've ever seen those movies, like any of those music biopics, where it's just like, oh, I discovered the sound and now I'm making it big. And now I'm too big and I come crashing down, bro. It does it so well. It is so fucking funny. There's a bit in the movie where, like he goes into the bathroom, like the first time it happens, and he like hits and like smashes the sink. And then like he does it like two or three other times in the movie. And then at the end when he has like his big fallout, he goes into the bathroom and there's like 30 sinks and he's just like, ah. And he's crying and Smashing all them. Oh, my God. It's so good. I've done no justice by this movie at all.

[Joe]

It sounds like it sucks. I don't know how we jumped from there from the pyramids, but it's fine. We just. We're not really good at segues on this show. Yeah. And that's just something.

[Frank]

Blood on the Tracks. That's another Bob Dylan.

[Joe]

What's like the famous Bob Dylan song. I don't know why I can't think right now.

[Frank]

Hurricane.

[Joe]

How does it go?

[Frank]

I have it on my phone. It wasn't a hurricane. It wasn't. Came to me.

[Joe]

That's not the one. I know.

[Frank]

It's a good song.

[Joe]

Songs.

[Frank]

He has a very, like, recognizable sound. You're not finding a single one, you know. Huh.

[Joe]

Oh, he's still alive.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

Bob Dylan still kicks.

[Frank]

And then pretty good. I know. And then what's his name is filming a Bruce Springsteen biopic in Jersey right now.

[Joe]

Who?

[Frank]

Jeremy Allen White.

[Joe]

He's Bruce.

[Frank]

He's Bruce.

[Joe]

Two good Bruce songs.

You're crazy.

[Frank]

Too good.

[Joe]

[Joe]

Billy Joel.

[Frank]

Hell yeah.

[Joe]

Well, yeah.

[Frank]

[Joe]

Yeah, that's.

[Frank]

They're the same. They're cut from the same cloth, bro.

[Joe]

He's got. He's got. Glory Days is probably my favorite. Bruce.

[Frank]

No. His version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town is better than everything.

[Joe]

Any.

[Frank]

Other song he has done.

[Joe]

Parents. He's gonna bring you a new saxophone. You don't remember that? In the beginning of the song, he's like, that's not many. That's not many.

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not bow. I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming down Santa Claus.

[Joe]

[Joe]

Right. It's been a hell of a 2024.

[Frank]

It has been an insane ride from the very first episode, where this year, I believe, is where when we talked about the, you know, our first shows that we were doing, the live shows, was it. I think that's when we had announced or, like, talked about it initially. Oh, no, in December, they went on sale, so never mind.

[Joe]

Made it up.

[Frank]

No, it feels right.

[Joe]

But we started the year in January with our first show.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joe]

At the end of the year, we ended up doing Radio City, and now we're here.

[Frank]

So. 2024 was wild. I think we can both agree we have the new studio coming up. We have a lot on the horizon we're excited for, so thank you, guys.

[Joe]

But we don't have his Bruce Springsteen.

[Frank]

No, no, no, no. Apparently Timothy Chalamet will be here.

[Joe]

I hope so.

[Frank]

Maybe even Bob Dylan, you know?

[Joe]

Not a chance. Frankie.

[Frank]

Dude, what.

[Joe]

What would you do? More of a recluse.

[Frank]

Well, he is definitely a recluse, but what if he was just like, hey, come on YouTube.

[Joe]

I'd be like, get the.

[Frank]

Over here. I'm talking about the time I did Cocaine with Johnny Cage and I sang and wrote three songs. That's not bad, right?

[Joe]

It's not.

[Frank]

That's kind of good.

[Joe]

You could have done a movie.

[Frank]

They fucked up.

[Joe]

You couldn't.

[Frank]

They fucked up by putting Timothy Chalamet, not me.

[Joe]

Yeah. But yeah. Thank you guys for all the support this year. It's been amazing and we appreciate it. So much. And 2025. 2025 is going to be even bigger and better.

[Frank]

2025.

[Joe]

2025.

[Frank]

That's insane. 2000 was a quarter of a decade ago. Wild, wild stuff. Well, thank you guys.

[Joe]

And, yeah, that is all. See you guys in the new year. Don't like that. Sign off.

[Frank]

No, next year. Oh, my God. Sign this. Fuck off. Goodbye.
