A
This is the thing that.
B
Coming up with names, this is the.
A
This is the thing that big celebrities are doing now is they're getting into, like, food establishments. Bradley Cooper just opened Philly Cheesesteak. A Philly Cheesesteak place. That bread looked exceptional.
B
The cheesesteak. That looked okay. It did.
A
It didn't look that great.
B
I was like, this could use more cheese.
A
Yeah. Less steak, more cheese.
B
Yeah, there's a lot of steak.
A
But this could be the year of Joey getting into the venture of restaurants, of breads restaurateur.
B
I don't think Joey the bread boy, where I just. It's a restaurant. It's just bread.
A
Ooh. Bakery.
B
I'll tell you what.
A
Every day, every dish. Those are called bakeries, Joe. Every dish has bread infused in some capacity.
B
How about this? No plates, only bread bowls. I don't give a fuck what we serve. Listen. Yes, it would be side of fries, bread bowl.
A
It would be a little expensive, though, to have that many bread bowls.
B
Is bread expensive?
A
Uh, no, no, but, like, for the person to, like, consume it, like, the idea of getting a whole loaf of bread is crazy. And you'd be in. You'd be going up against Panera and you and Panera. That's. That's a fight you don't know if you'll win.
B
Yeah, no, I mean, I. I've definitely lost before. I had it one time. I've only had Panera one time. Diarrhea, didn't go back. Swear to God. I thought I was like.
A
Can I ask you a serious question?
B
Yeah.
A
How many places, Establishments. Food establishments have given you diarrhea?
B
I don't even know how to answer that. This was over 10 years ago. It wasn't 10 years ago.
A
It doesn't matter. I used to crush Panera and I will tomorrow if I wanted to. Bitch.
B
I don't know. Someone was asking me that, and I feel like this has gotten blown out of proportion. I was like, I feel like you always get food poisoning. I get food poisoning, like, once every three years.
A
Joey, chill out. I have gotten food poisoning zero times in my entire life.
B
I'm. I'm pretty adventurous with food.
A
You didn't get it from, like, a. Like, run of the. Like, I go. I go under, like, cupboard, under the stairs. Restaurant. You went to a jazz club and got a burger, Joey. Yeah. That's not adventure.
B
Well, I'm saying adventurous in the sense of, like, I probably am at a higher risk of getting food poisoning if, like. Well, you're going out to restaurants, but.
A
You'Re going to like well regarded restaurants.
B
That people make mistakes.
A
People do make mistakes, but they don't, they don't make mistakes at that level, clearly.
B
Well, that place is also like a nice place that I went to. There was an E. Coli outbreak. You know, don't eat the fucking carrots and stuff.
A
Maybe it was E. Coli.
B
I think it was E. Coli.
A
So you got colide?
B
I got colide in my e. Yeah.
A
Yeah. That's crazy. But yeah, I think, hear me out. You know, I am in the business of like really having great ideas.
B
I don't know that. But go ahead.
A
You just, you and Greg. When Greg hears this, he's gonna be fully on board. Just get into being a restaurateur. You have, you have.
B
What do I have?
A
The hot sauces.
B
Right.
A
One of them has already been released, but one of them. Well, I don't know when the release for that one is officially, but yeah, me neither. You know, it's soon, but you have, you have your own line of hot sauces. You have a keen eye to become a sommelier. You're on your way. Baby steps. And you could be the, you could be the hot sauce provider, sommelier and bread boy for Joe's big bread boy place.
B
I mean the ideas are just unbelievable coming out of you over there and I really appreciate the faith that you have in me, but that's not going to happen.
A
I mean, why not? Because, because why? Restaurants are a really difficult like avenue to get into in terms of.
B
Yeah.
A
Making money.
B
I think that most, I think that all of them lose money in their first year. I think it's in like something like that.
A
I, I, and don't ask me where I learned this because the answer is the office. But I think most businesses in their first five years like don't turn a profit. They need to like prove that they are sustainable after that in order to. I've been watching a lot of Shark Tank too, so.
B
So what does that make you good at? You seeing any good ones? Any good inventions? Was there anything that like growing up, like you heard about and you're like.
A
I had that idea, the word biznatch, Frank.
B
I'm talking about like businesses, inventions and like post its or something. The word business. Yeah. Honestly, who even made it up? Biscuit?
A
I don't know, honestly.
B
Wait, you heard the word biznash and you said yo.
A
I said, yeah. I was so my sister had a friend who was a couple years older than, you know, than I was, than we were because our sister's the Same age. And she came home one day, and I had been using Biznatch. Relatively isolated in my own with it. Amongst myself.
B
In your room. Just biznatching. To yourself.
A
To myself. Calling video games, calling our friend, but also, like, among.
B
Calling our friends business.
A
And then she one day said it, and I was like, where the hell did you hear that? And she's like, I heard people at school were saying it, and I was just like. I coined Biznatch.
B
So you think that you saying Biznatch probably on Xbox at us?
A
Well, no, it was before Xbox Live. Like, it was like 2002, 2003.
B
So then the streets carried I.
A
So you. I mean, you remember there were certain rumors that were powerful enough to travel the world pre Internet, you know, fame and monstrosity that it is now.
B
Right?
A
Marilyn Manson taking out a bunch of his ribs so he could suck his own day so he can suck his own dick.
B
Sierra Penis.
A
Sierra Penis. Olivia Penis.
B
Who's Olivia?
A
She was from G Unit. She was the other.
B
Oh, she had a penis that.
A
There was rumors that she had a penis, you know, but, like, stu. Like that.
B
Yeah.
A
So I thought when I heard someone use biznatch, I felt a. Part of me felt excited for, like, maybe someone heard me and was just like, I'm gonna go spread this. Then I was a little worried. I was like, am I not gonna get the credit for.
B
Right. Because that's what it's all about. You wanted Merriam Webster to call you.
A
This is. This is not a joke. I legit, at the time, believed that I came up with the word biznatch.
B
My brother Thomas believes that. He brought the V neck back. He believes that.
A
I also believe I brought back Hawaiian shirts. That's not a joke. I firmly stand by. I brought back floral patterns in Hawaiian church.
B
Retired law enforcement brought that back.
A
No, they were the ones that killed it. Let me tell you. Hawaiian shirts used to be cool in, like, the 70s and 80s.
B
Is it Coach, pro coach, a probe. Is it?
A
Well, I don't care. I was. Wait, in regards to the white. Old white cops.
B
No.
A
Oh, wait, you mean Hawaiians.
B
Who else would I be talking about? I meant the Hawaiians.
A
Oh.
B
Why is it Hawaiian?
A
I think it was just like a. I don't know.
B
Yeah.
A
I don't know. I'm not even gonna try.
B
Yeah.
A
But I do know that it was cool at one point. Like, I'm talking, like, Magnum P.I. you know, Tom Selleck. Dude, Tom Selleck could have shit on a shingle and people would have thought it was the coolest thing on the town.
B
Yeah, but we're young, dude.
A
We weren't even alive when that show was on.
B
But that's what I'm saying. Like, how did you bring it back?
A
Because there was no Hawaiian shirts anywhere.
B
Like you found them.
A
But. But I went and I saw one at Ralph Lauren. At a Ralph Lauren outlet. Let's be very clear about something.
B
I was going to say, how much.
A
Did you pay for it? It was a Ralph Lauren outlet. And I was like, you know what? Hell, yeah. Like, this was. This was me. I felt it. It felt good to me.
B
Hawaiian. Yes, exactly.
A
When you look at me, if you don't think Hawaiian, what do you think?
B
Nothing else. Yeah, but this is me. This is who I want to be now.
A
And then I just kept buying Hawaiian shirts. And, like, then I saw, like, at first. And you were a part of this, too. People made fun of me.
B
I was definitely a part of that. Yeah, I do remember that.
A
And people were just like, what are you wearing? I was like, I like it. Who gives a fuck? You know? And I still take that mentality to this day.
B
I agree. You do. I'm not trying to be offensive.
A
Okay?
B
But it did. As soon as it left my mouth, I was like, that could be miscontrued.
A
And you know.
B
Yeah, well, I'm teetering.
A
I'm teetering right now.
B
Line. Right? Yeah.
A
And then I was just like. Then I saw other people starting to wear. And then some of our friends started getting floral pattern stuff, and I was like, I. I brought back Hawaiian shirts and floral patterns.
B
Do you think that Hawaii should be thanking you for something like that?
A
I don't know if it's like, the.
B
Answer is no, Frank. The Hawaiians.
A
I was just going to say, like, I don't know. Or the origins of Hawaiian shirts. I don't know. Like, were they legit? Like. Like, it's like French fries. They don't come from France.
B
Belgium.
A
Oh, yeah. I don't know, but I know they don't come from France.
B
Yeah.
A
French toast. Is that from France?
B
I don't know. But if it is, then they scored a point in my book. French, French.
A
French kissing.
B
French kiss.
A
I imagine around before the French.
B
I do, too. But I do think that, like, for some reason, French people are probably really good at making out. I don't know why the ancient Greeks.
A
Were fucking each other in the butt. You think they weren't fucking slipping a little bit of tongue in on some kisses?
B
I mean, they're probably the best at Anal, then. But, like, I don't know about French kissing.
A
Well, that's why they call anal like other. Like the colloquial term for anal sex is Greek dogging.
B
Frank. I have never heard that term before in my entire life. Did you make that up? Okay, I was gonna say, if that's.
A
Real Greek dogging, that's a good one though, right? Yeah.
B
I mean. Oh, you're trying to coin it.
A
I'm trying to start something here.
B
I lost out on biz match. Now I'm getting Greek dogging, man.
A
Guy got Greek dog last night.
B
Speaking of biznatch, which I'm not gonna speak about that, but like Limp Bizkit, cuz it makes me think of Limp Bizkit. M. Remember when he said he did it all for the nookie?
A
What?
B
What? The nookie.
A
What?
B
So you can take that cookie.
A
Oh, and stick it up your. Yeah.
B
What is that? Is that puss?
A
Nookie has gotta be puss. Yeah, I did it all for the nookie. What? The nookie.
B
So you could take that cookie.
A
What is the nookie?
B
Now, I thought the nookie was puss, but I'm not sure.
A
I think so. But I don't know how motivated Fred Durst was by nook.
B
By the nookie, because he seems like.
A
He'D be more motivated by monster energy drinks.
B
Skateboarding. Definitely Jenkinis that have a brim.
A
Stuff like bitch Jenko jeans.
B
Yeah.
A
Chain wallets.
B
Yelling into yelling at your parents. Right.
A
And then hitting them with one of these.
B
Right.
A
You know, what is the nookie. Yeah, what is the nookie song about?
B
I think it's. It's Puss, I think. What's this cookie that he's talking about?
A
Song Facts, which is a website apparently is here to tell us as it's loading. Goodness gracious. Why is it taking so long? Really? Cut. Here we go, ladies and corners. On the fucking Frankie phones is back. Apparently here. The small blurb that I could see is that the song is about an old girlfriend of Fred Durst's who betrayed him. When Durst was getting his career started in Los Angeles. He was. And then it cut off.
B
So he did it all for. For her, Puss. And then he. And he's gonna shove a cookie in her.
A
Yeah, I. I mean that part. She could take that cookie and stick it up her.
B
Yeah.
A
Stick it up her.
B
Yeah. Stick it up.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Dude, I can't even begin to explain the love I have for Limp Bizkit.
B
You love the song Rolling. I literally, when it comes on, dude, you guys have to see Frankie. He legitimately can't help himself and transforms like a werewolf in the. Like, you put on the song.
A
Rolling.
B
Violin Bizkit. And he just, like. And he's just so hyped.
A
Well, first of all, let's back up a little bit. Werewolves don't transform in the night. They transform underneath the light of a full moon. So we'll make sure. We make sure that is correct.
B
When's the full moon out? You want to do semantics?
A
Yeah.
B
Nighttime.
A
Yeah. But wait.
B
If there's a full. Because sometimes I see the full moon out during the day. Werewolves, they don't.
A
I guess. I guess they, like, wait until. Because the sun gets.
B
They, like, can't help it. They, like, break all their clothes.
A
Yeah. But at night.
B
Expensive being a werewolf.
A
Hell, yeah. I just be naked. Just be naked.
B
For real. I would never wear, like, good clothes. I'm like. I'm ripped this.
A
Yeah, but what were we. What were you? The Nook? No, Roland.
B
Roland.
A
It has. I have a very strong connection to the song Rolling by Limp Bizkit, mainly because of the Undertaker. That was the Undertaker's theme song for. Oh, man. What seems like the better part of two, three years. So anytime the Undertaker came out, I heard Roland and it was sick.
B
And.
A
And don't even fuck with me. Listen, I know there's jokes about Limp Bizkit and, like, their. Their audience and kind of who they were at that time of their popularity.
B
Yeah.
A
But listen to that song and tell me it doesn't fucking smoke your shit. You know what I'm saying?
B
Move in a. Move out.
A
Hands up a. Hands down. Back up, back up. Because there's a dance to it. Which I remember from the video.
B
Dude, you gotta see. I. I forgot. I think it was a wedding that this song came on and not in a wedding. No, but. No, I don't know if it was a wedding, but it was a party that I was at with you where it was like, there was a lot of people around on a dance floor and this song comes on, and you should have seen the look of Frankie's eyes. I legitimately got started to get scared. And then when the chorus hits and it's like, move in and move out. This kid's throwing his body around and he's like, back up, back up. And he's pushing people out of the way, and I'm like, yo, we need to get out of here before Frankie flips out.
A
Well, the spirit of Fred Durst Went inside of me.
B
You're the biscuit.
A
I am the limpest biscuit you can find. Dude, he's the limpest biscuit.
B
I am limp.
A
I am a limp bizkit. Yeah, you are Bizkit Biscuit, by the way.
B
Not biscuit.
A
Not biscuit. Biskit.
B
Although I would love a biscuit.
A
Ooh, a very limp one. Meaning a very buttery, soft. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But when that song comes on, like, you need to, you know, you need to move in and move out, your hands up and hands down and then back up. Like you need to make some space, you know, and then roll and roll and roll and rolling. There's only one way to go. To this day, I am not even kidding when I say this. One of the greatest pieces of produced media I've ever seen is the WrestleMania 17 promo package between the Rock and Stone Cold over the song My Way by Limp Bizkit.
B
I'm a do thing my way.
A
Yeah, that's exceptional melody.
B
That's what?
A
You don't remember that part in Stone Cold or like Stone Cold and the Rock are talking and Stone Cold's like, it's my title. You ain't having it. And the Rock is like, I will do anything. And then finally they start punching and it's just like this. I'm imma let it all come out. And then with the beat, they're hitting stunners and Rock Bizkit, dude, it is. Do me a favor. Jokes aside, everyone here go watch it.
B
I know what you're talking about, and.
A
It is so good. It is so. It is like five minutes long. 17.
B
The one that we used to go to David's house and watch all the time.
A
Yes. But you'd watch it at my house before school. School with the TLC match. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.
B
Yeah. You know, it's a good one.
A
All those wrestling pay per views, like the songs that were associated with them were unbelievable.
B
I watched WrestleMania 17 probably like six years ago.
A
Yeah.
B
When I was in Long Island City.
A
Yeah.
B
When I was in Long Island City. I like, I legit went on the WWE app, made an account just so I could watch that whole paper and.
A
It still holds up.
B
Yeah.
A
Now it's all on cane.
B
Throw someone through a glass.
A
Yeah. There was the triple threat for the hardcore title between it went backstage, Kane, Big show and Raven.
B
Yes.
A
Yeah. There was the. There was the gimmick battle royal that was won by the Iron Chic.
B
I don't remember that.
A
You don't remember that at all, man. There's so many.
B
See, I remember tlc.
A
There was. Then you had China versus Ivory for the women's title. You had ts. You had the Undertaker and Triple H in a match.
B
Yeah.
A
Oh, man.
B
No, I know, it's crazy.
A
Oh, and then you had Stone Cold. We had Stone Cold in the Rock. But then you also had Vince versus Shane McMahon. And you remember the whole storyline.
B
Kicked him in the face.
A
Well, he did the coast to coast. But then the whole storyline where, like, Linda McMahon was, like, a vegetable, basically, and, like, Vince was making out and, like, sucking on Trish Straddish's titties in front of her and. Yeah, yeah. And then she stood up and kicked him in the nuts and the place went apesh.
B
I remember that.
A
You know what I'm saying?
B
What. What a pay per view.
A
What. What a time to be alive.
B
Did you think there was going to be 5 minutes of WrestleMania 17 on this episode? I bet you didn't.
A
And whatever. This is going to add to the Limp Bizkit talk. The song is about an old girlfriend of Fred Durst's who betrayed him. We all. We've all been there. Hey, Mr. Durst. We've all been there. Okay.
B
One day you think you're doing it all for the nookie, and then you.
A
Get betrayed, and then. And then suddenly it's all for the.
B
Cookie and shove it up your ass.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Are you still close to the Durst family or that was just Robert Durst when.
B
Serial killer.
A
Yeah. Yeah. When Durst was getting his career started in Los Angeles, he was sending money home to his girlfriend to pay the bills. Instead, she used the money to treat her and another man to drugs in hotel rooms. In this song, Durst explains that he knew what was going on, but stayed with her for the sex. That's the nookie.
B
He's like, I did it for the nookie.
A
Wow.
B
I mean, can I say this kind of. No, he didn't. No one would make that decision.
A
I mean, kind of on Mr. Durst. He was writing from a place of pain and anguish.
B
Mr. Biscuit.
A
Betrayal.
B
You could. You could find another woman.
A
I'm sure he had access to other nookies. I don't mean to use that as a terminology to. To just completely, you know. Right. You don't want to dehumanize women to just being a nookie. A nookie. You did, but no, no, Mr. Durst did. Okay. We're reporting Frederick Durst. You know, he's like a movie director now.
B
Is he? He's Got the whole white beard look. It looks cool.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, man, maybe it's time to throw on some. Throw on some Creed Limp Bizkit. Puddle of mud. Just throw them on.
B
Who are you? Just who are you?
A
Let the body set the floor Let the body set the floor Let the body sit down. Dude, it still fucking hits.
B
Yeah. You love that. Yeah, I. I didn't hate that song.
A
Either, but you shouldn't.
B
Yeah.
A
You know what?
B
How much can we talk about Lim Bizkit in this? Like, do you think we can stretch it for the whole time?
A
There's also the song break stuff.
B
That song is a legitimate fear of mine to hear in public in a. In a crowded area. I feel like it makes white people psychotic.
A
I. I used to, like, appreciate that song, but then someone said to me, I forgot who it was, but they were like, that's the type of song you would have heard played at January 6th. And I'm just like, damn, like, now. Now you can't hear it.
B
Which song is I'll take a chainsaw and skin your ass raw?
A
What?
B
That's what he says.
A
I'll take a chainsaw and skin your ass raw. You know how.
B
Oh, that's break stuff.
A
You know how expertly you need to maneuver a chainsaw to just skin someone slightly?
B
I mean, I think if you just, like, hit them in the ass with a chainsaw, but that's not going to skin them.
A
That's going to. That's going to lacerate them, right?
B
Lacerate.
A
Yeah. That's not. So you, like. It's like a. Like a chef. You need to, like.
B
Wait. I want to. I don't want to forget this. And I'm sorry that we're jumping to a completely different topic now, but you just reminded me when you said lacerate. You ever see, like, a doctor use a scalpel and just cut open a person? How the.
A
Those things are sharp, dude. Apparently, yeah, those things are really sharp.
B
I. This is gonna sound so insane, and YouTube may never forgive me for this, but something about watching someone getting surgically cut open is cool. You know what I mean?
A
Yeah.
B
And I don't think that I'm by myself, because sometimes they make the little gallery.
A
You know what's scary is that I know you're not by yourself, but you should be in a padded room behind a very, very securely locked door.
B
You don't think it's cool? First for a doctor, just open. Don't.
A
Don't. Don't do it there, dude.
B
What? Oh, yeah, yeah, that's not what I was. Can I go here?
A
Go here. Go top.
B
Well, I don't know what they would be fixing. To be fair. I don't know what they'd be fixing.
A
Yeah, what the fuck? Or like, like Tommy John, like here, showing the elbow. Sure, go in the elbow.
B
But just like, opening up a person is crazy.
A
It is that we have gone to a place in science and the medical world that, like, we can do that and just like, yeah, I'm confident.
B
Okay, this is going to be. But I need you to be honest, right?
A
Yes.
B
And I know. I know that you're you, so you probably will be on my side. I don't know what side I'm on yet.
A
Just ask the fucking question.
B
Do you think. And now just hold on. I have to preface this with some more information, though, but, like, after the schooling and all that, right? Do you think performing surgery is hard?
A
Are you crazy?
B
No, hear me out, Hear me out.
A
Are you absolutely out of your mind?
B
How many organs are there?
A
A lot.
B
How many?
A
There's a lot.
B
Do you know? Can you give a roundabout.
A
I have no idea how many organs in our body. Guess.
B
How many organs do we have?
A
Organs, Organs, Organs, Organs, organs. I would say like 88.
B
Oh, dude, I was way below that. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, because.
A
There'S, like, little ones that you don't know about. Like, the pituitary gland is an organ. Skin is an organ.
B
Skin is an organ. I was. I was gonna say like 40 something.
A
40.
B
How many? Oh, my God, this thing is blue balling me right now. Why is the WI FI in here?
A
So, I know. I was just wondering that.
B
I don't know the answer yet. You know bones, though. How many bones? The human body?
A
206.
B
206. Yes. I don't know why I know that one. But the organs. You never hear the organ question.
A
Yeah, because maybe people have some. Some have more, some have less.
B
What?
A
People get organs removed for different reasons and.
B
Bro, we're not talking about general.
A
Fine, fine, fine, fine. And then some organs might have organs in them.
B
What does that mean?
A
Think of your intestines.
B
Wait, how many did you say?
A
88.
B
There's 78. Oh, there's 78.
A
Damn.
B
If you would have said 78, I would just.
A
You would have thought. Well, you would have thought that I was. That I had known and I wasn't telling you.
B
Oh, you would have, in my mind, been cheating. Yes. But. Yeah, yeah, 78.
A
Let me. Let me thought very, very, very clearly and concisely.
B
Yeah.
A
Yes, I believe Surgery is difficult.
B
I'm not saying it isn't. I'm just considering the possibility that maybe it might be easier than we think.
A
No, I mean, I'm sure if you go to fucking a dozen years of school in order to do a very specific surgery, like, there are obviously certain surgeries that are easier than others.
B
Like you. You don't think that you could funnel the camera into a butt foot, a colonoscopy? Like, how hard is that?
A
I mean, if I was the butt funneler, I would just need someone to make sure I'm not, like, anything up. Like, make sure I'm going the right way and like that. You know, I thought that if I'm.
B
Doing the surgery, I should make sure. No, I'm not.
A
Oh, no.
B
Yeah.
A
No, no, no, no, no. Like, I mean, I think.
B
I'm not trying to put down doctors. I know they're way smarter than me, and I know that.
A
What a sentence.
B
I think if anything. I think if anything, trying to put. I don't. I. This is me. I have such a. Like a. Have such a respect for doctors. And I think that it's probably so difficult that now I'm like, maybe it's. Maybe I'm making it way more difficult than it actually is.
A
I think it's probably more difficult because of the level of understanding that you have.
B
Right. But I'm thinking about, like, open up a body, right? And I'm looking at intestine.
A
What kind of. But, like, what kind of surgery? Like, that's a thing.
B
Stomach. Because, like, something.
A
Brain surgery. Can you imagine that? Brain surgery.
B
That's very difficult.
A
Crazy.
B
That's a good one. That's a brain. That's hard.
A
Yeah.
B
Brain surgery is tough. Put. Write that down.
A
Write that down. We cracked it.
B
We cracked the code.
A
Hey, but doctors, we're on your side.
B
We know that it's hard.
A
We're standing up for you if you're.
B
Not a brain surgeon, you know?
A
Yeah. Someone that's like a foot surgeon.
B
All right.
A
Dentists, they're technically surgeons.
B
They are doctors.
A
Yeah.
B
Our surgeons. Filling a cavity, though.
A
That's not surgery, babe.
B
That's just.
A
You're just playing. You're playing around. Yeah. You're in there and you've got ice. You're shaving ice. That's exactly what you're doing. You're drilling into holes just aimlessly.
B
Yeah. You're Bruce Willis.
A
I know that. I know that we're wrong.
B
I'm.
A
But I refuse to believe that it's anything other than dentistry.
B
Is I.
A
Because Yeah, there's nerves and like, that's tough.
B
Only because the mouth only opens up so much.
A
Yeah. And also there's only so. Honestly. Honestly. Finite area, the mouth. Yeah. Like, this is. This is what dentists are concerned about right here.
B
Crazy.
A
Because you got to include the gums.
B
Right.
A
And you got to include not even the tongue. Dentists don't care about the tongue, do they?
B
I have.
A
I'm sure they got to learn about it.
B
I'm sure they've read about it.
A
But such a finite area, you know, if you tell me that there's a, you know, a pin hidden somewhere in this room, I'll find it. Because it's not that big of a room. Same thing with dentists.
B
I just think it's hard to get in there. Especially some people have tiny mouths.
A
Some people do have tiny mouths, but that's when you put that, like, mouth jacker in there and then you. What's going on with the mouth jacker?
B
Yep. What's that?
A
It like opens the mouth and keeps it open. I don't know what it's called.
B
I think I've ever had that.
A
You've never. You've never had your mouth jacked?
B
I've never been jacked in the mouth, no. You got mouth jacked by your dentist. You got jacked. Say you got jacked. That's why you don't exist. You got jacked. He jacked your mouth.
A
I can't. No, take it easy. You're getting real.
B
God. Jacked in your mouth.
A
Real close to where it could be questionable territory.
B
That's crazy.
A
I think. I think there have been. There's been equipment placed by a doctor in my mouth. Yeah, dude, but like, they're not full on jack in my shit.
B
Me neither. You brought the jack. I didn't even.
A
I'm just saying, like, I know it exists. There are mouth jacks out there. Oh, my God. I'm just saying, the other day, or.
B
This one, did you ever get the.
A
Plastic that's kind of a jack?
B
No. Cuz it's not really like in my mouth. I don't know why that exists. Like, what's that for?
A
To see the teeth. I had one of those recently. I got my teeth whitened and they jacked it and they. Well, they didn't jack me. They got him.
B
No. Okay.
A
They like.
B
Oh, they do the thing.
A
They do the thing. Yeah, the thing with the. The what'd you say? Thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Cool.
A
Yeah.
B
Did they do the light?
A
Yeah, I didn't like it very much.
B
What is that, uv?
A
Yeah.
B
And it just. What, it burn? It makes it.
A
It. So you put like a.
B
Like a paste.
A
It's like a paste on your teeth. But she was explaining that it's like a hydrochloric or like some. Something that, like, reacts with the light and it just, like, burns away, like, a layer or two of enamel.
B
Huh.
A
Oh, Becca. My teeth. I. Like, right at the end, I got, like a fucking sting.
B
Oh.
A
Oh, yeah. It didn't feel good.
B
Dude. One time I went to the dentist and I was getting Novocaine, and he must have hit a nerve because I felt a string of fire go from here around my forehead and through here. Like, I was like, oh, yeah.
A
And the guy was like, oh, sorry. Yeah.
B
I was like, dude, you just set my face on fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
Because right. Right before he jacked it.
B
Frank, you're not getting out of this. You're not beating the jacking allegation.
A
You're. Someone jacked it into your mouth.
B
Frank, first of all, now you're getting way too graphic. Second of all, no one was talking about jacking mouths until you.
A
Because there are mouth jackers, Joey. There are. That's, like, mouth jacks.
B
You seem very aware of the jack mouth.
A
Because I have eyes that have seen past my own human experiences, Joey. Maybe that's something you should understand.
B
Yeah, no, it's fine. It happened to someone else, a friend of mine. You were about to say you got jacked.
A
No.
B
First of all, I don't think they need to jack you if they're whitening your teeth. I don't know what kind of dentist you're going to. We do have sponsors for today, by the way. We have sponsors.

And a shopper will just kind of get to it and pick a lot of stuff. Pick a bunch of stuff from you and they'll send it to your house. You only pay for the stuff that you keep. So if you get everything and you're like, wow, all this stuff is cool, you keep the whole box. If you're like, alright, well, I like this and this, but I don't like that. I'm gonna send that back.

B
I do know what you're saying.
A
Do you know what I'm saying?
B
I have no idea.
A
We got to keep the party going because we. Who knows what's going to happen, you know, because the. The bird flu is back. Birds.
B
When was it here? Originally?
A
There was like a. It was a pandemic.
B
I remember swine flu that started in my high school.
A
Bird flu. Yeah, that's right. Starting in your high school.
B
Love telling people that.
A
That is a weird. That is a very strange. Right, isn't it? It oddly is like swine flu.
B
If you guys remember, in this country, swine flu, it literally started at my high school.
A
Yeah.
B
We're the epicenter.
A
It was. That was the one that it. It was transmitted by pigs. Yes. But in particular, it was transmitted from human to human when, like, men of a certain older age would kiss people on the.
B
No, that's not how it happened. Apparently some of the seniors in my school. I don't remember what year.
A
Like, kiss the pastors.
B
No, no.
A
Spin the bottle.
B
I think they went on vacation. I can't remember where they went. But then they picked up swine flu and brought it back to the state.
A
That's crazy.
B
Yeah, Yeah.
A
I don't. Well, luckily, never got that.
B
Did I tell you this? Like, swine flu is when I started swallowing pills. That sounds insane.
A
That is crazy.
B
But like. No, but like, that was when I first was like, okay, like an Advil or Tylenol.
A
Yeah.
B
I couldn't take them. I couldn't swallow pills.
A
I. Great at it. Yeah, that is. Well, that. Actually, that makes sense because everyone in high school said that you were never good at swallowing. I used to be like that too, but then I grew up.
B
You grew up and then your dentist jacked your mouth.
A
No, but seriously, apparently California, like, the governor, like, issued a state of emergency over.
B
What does that mean, by the way, everyone? Like, what is ah. A state of emergency?
A
I'm sure there's like.
B
I'm sure.
A
I'm sure there are actual things that accompany that.
B
Of course, you can't just like, say.
A
You can't just say it like there's an emergency. There's an. We know we. Yeah, but like, there's like, I'm sure, like, certain protocols that, like, if you declare a state of emergency, like, you have, like, the autonomy. You, like, give up power to certain agencies to, like, do some stuff. Oh, that was the big conspiracy, which is a big word nowadays behind like, Covid, is that people believed it was just a way to transfer power to the cdc. So the CDC can just like, do whatever they want. And the CDC is, you know, funded by the lizard people. And the lizard people are sucking the butts of, you know, like, it's.
B
If it is true, then the lizards won. And like, what are we going to do?
A
Yeah, you want to fight a lizard person?
B
I had lizards when I was younger. They're gross.
A
I did too. My cat ate them.
B
I watched them. Your cat ate lizards?
A
Yeah.
B
Wait, you had lizards and your cat ate your pets?
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
First I'm hearing about.
A
No, I think I've told you this before. Yeah, our neighbor had two iguanas, gave it to us.
B
Wait, ate an iguana?
A
Two of them? Yeah.
B
Frank. An iguana.
A
They weren't that big yet. They were little iguanas. Iguanese.
B
Right.
A
You know, they were. They were. Yeah. Because they're one of those animals that, like, they'll adapt to their habitat. So if they're in a bigger environment, they'll get bigger.
B
Right.
A
But they were both like this big. And my cat, we. We kept them in like, that back computer room. You remember that room downstairs?
B
Yeah.
A
We kept him down there. We always made sure we closed the door before going in.
B
Your iguanas in a back room in a basement?
A
Yep. Yeah.
B
Thank God they're dead.
A
Well, they had a heat lamp. They had food. Like, they were great. They were hanging out. But my cat would just sit there at the door.
B
Patient, he's like, I'm gonna eat a lizard.
A
She was ready.
B
Yeah.
A
And one day I was woken up at, like, 3am by my mom screaming. And I went upstairs, and she, like. She goes, look over there. And it was my cat with one of the tails hanging out of her mouth.
B
Wait, how'd your mom know this happened at 3am because.
A
So cats have a thing that they do, and I think dogs do. This too, is, like, when they do something like that, like, they'll kill an animal or something. They'll, like, present it to you.
B
Oh, yeah. Yo.
A
Like, yo, for you.
B
Oh. So your cat ate an iguana, then put the other one in its mouth and was like, check this out.
A
And brought it to my mom. Yeah.
B
Disgusting.
A
Yeah. No wonder that cat got mouth cancer.
B
Yeah, that could have been it.
A
Could have been it.
B
It was either the cigarettes or the iguanas that I could confirm.
A
One of those were in her mouth. Yeah, but can you eat iguanas? Mmm.
B
I wouldn't.
A
Why not?
B
Maybe if you boiled it.
A
Have you eaten. I've eaten snake and crocodile. Have you?
B
If this is a jerky thing, this doesn't count.
A
I've eaten crocodile jerky. No, snake with jerky and. And kangaroo with jerky and crocodile.
B
The jerkies in the world, too. I'm not gonna be like, oh, I had kangaroo.
A
No, no. But when we were in. When we were in Key West, I had conch.
B
Alligator.
A
I had conch. And I had gator.
B
I remember conch.
A
Yeah, I had conch and gator.
B
How was the conch?
A
Chewy. And the gator was fine.
B
I thought, is that like a sea dwelling?
A
It's the. It's the shell phone.
B
You know, shell.
A
It's not the shell, but, like, what's in it? All those shells have, like, animals in them. Dude.
B
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, was this you I was having this conversation with?
A
I think so.
B
About shells?
A
Yeah. What the hell are shells?
B
Yeah. And you're like, they're just houses.
A
They're houses for animals.
B
We still don't know if that's true or not, but it feels right.
A
It is true.
B
I got big shells.
A
Where do you get big shape? Where did that come from? What do you mean you got big shells?
B
Remember my mom's house out on the Deck. They had those two big white shelves.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
I used to hold the conch. I'll tell. Yeah, yeah. I'll tell you this. You know, they're like, you can hear the ocean. I learned that that wasn't the ocean, but it sounds like well into my late teens, which is extremely old.
A
I'll be honest with you. I. I think I was, like, later than that. I might have been, like, 24 when I.
B
And it's just like. No, that's sound just bouncing around this shell.
A
Well, not even just sound bouncing around the shell, but, like, it's the sound of, like, your blood in your head.
B
What?
A
You've never been like, Frankie, let me.
B
Tell you something right now. I'm gonna look it up after this conversation is over, but I'm telling you with my whole ass that I'm pretty positive that is not it at all.
A
No, I think. I mean, I'm sure it is a collection of sounds, but you can hear the. The. The blood in your body if you are. If it's quiet enough. You think I'm crazy?
B
Yes. No, you can hear the blood in your body.
A
What are you, a bat? No. Joey, can you hear your own blood rushing? While most people don't normally hear their blood rushing, a condition called pulsatile tinnitus. Uh oh. Finding something out about Frankie, maybe?
B
No, you're just. You're just. You just thought that that's what it was.
A
It can cause individuals to perceive a whooshing or thumping sound in their ears that aligns with their heartbeat, essentially allowing them to hear their blood flowing. But it is not.
B
But, Frank, this is not what we're looking up. What we're looking up is when you lift a shell to your ear, you think, oh, it's not just sounds. It's your own blood that you're hearing. No, it is not.
A
But it's a collection of other stuff, too.
B
You know what you do when you're younger, you have an idea where you're like, this must be that. And then something as stupid as, like, holding a shelf. You haven't thought about that in so long. So what was true to you when you were probably 12 is now what you're going with. Like, it's blood that I'm.
A
I'm hearing my own blood in a shell. You know what? Then I'm gonna revert back to hearing that it is the ocean because of. It's.
B
That'd be nice.
A
That. That would be. Let me live like we brought it up last time. Shutter island, babe. Yeah, let Me think I'm a cop playing dress up and shoot shoot, pew, pew. You know what I'm saying? Like, let me believe it's my. What I hear is the blood rushing.
B
You know, one time I thought I heard a whale in a shell.
A
Yeah, I know. I do. I do believe that.
B
I'm just like, yo, like, I'm thinking it's connected.
A
Well, that's what the magic is, dude, is that the ocean is always with us.
B
How much greater was life when you believed in magic, stuff like that? This shell is what? Connected to another shell in the middle of the ocean? I'm just hearing it. I believe that.
A
I have to say this. Why can't we just believe the things that we believed as kids into our adulthood?
B
Like, why do people know?
A
Why do we need to grow up and, like, people need to, like, beat it into us. Like, you need to know the truth. Like, no, I fucking don't.
B
Why do we need to know anything?
A
We don't need to know a damn thing.
B
We need to know some things, but maybe we could know way less.
A
Do I really need to know where conch shells come from? Do I really. Do I really need to know? That's not the. That's that. That it's not an actual horn that I'm blowing when I put my mouth to it.
B
Did I tell you about my dad with the horn?
A
No.
B
My dad. I was. I shot a vlog years ago. Mad long ago. I don't think the video is still up on YouTube, thank God. But I was in. On the deck at my mom's house, and they had. They had a baby next door in the yard, and you could hear the baby crying in the background. My dad called me. Dude, you don't know the story. No, my dad called me, and he goes, do you know what that is? And I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, that sound at this point of the video. You hear that? I go, yeah. He goes, do you know what that is?
A
It's a baby.
B
I said, it's a baby. And he goes, no, it's not. And I go, go ahead. And he goes, joe, that's an ancient horn. They've been hearing it all over the world. I said, dad, it's a baby crying. I looked at the baby in its face.
A
Why. Why did your dad think this?
B
He. It was just conspiracy rabbit.
A
Oh. Oh, my God.
B
Ancient. Dude, can you imagine how excited I was to hear that my dad thought an ancient horn made it into my YouTube vlog.
A
It's a baby. Do you hear that?
B
He's like, you hear that?
A
That's the. That's the horn that's signaling the fogs of fimble winter, basically.
B
And then. I love that. As soon as I was like, oh, it's this. I have all the information, I saw the baby, I become dumb.
A
No, that's what I can't keep up with. No, I can't, I can't. I don't know when this comes out. I don't know if they're still around, if we have an answer yet to what those drones in New Jersey are, but I. I can't. I can't anymore. I cannot. The new one, the new one is that they're plasma balls and plasmoids that they're chasing. I can't, I can't, I can't. Yeah, they're balls. The drones are just looking for fucking balls. I'll show you some balls.

Very nice. Very nice.
B
I think we would be remiss to not talk about Luigi.
A
Ha.
B
We haven't talked about.
A
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
B
Not that Luigi.
A
I know, I know, but he probably has said that at a boss since this hall it's went down.
B
Luigi's such a funny name to me.
A
I love it because the only Luigi people know is just like, Luigi, Luigi, Luigi. You know what I'm saying? Like Luigi Mario from the Mario Brothers.
B
What's this guy's name?
A
His name's like Luigi Mangione. It can't.
B
It could not be more Italian.
A
More Italian, yeah.
B
You know, and like this is a pizza making.
A
If you told me that was the name of that pizza, that plump pizza guy that's outside of every pizza place. Yeah, that's holding. I'd be like, yeah, of course that's who, that's who that is. Luigi Mangiani.
B
I almost stole One of those from a house once. I didn't though, because it was too heavy.
A
You should have, honestly.
B
I know I was in. This is my klepto phase.
A
Are you from what age? 8 until 28. What do you mean, like klepto?
B
No, I didn't steal in my 20s. That was literally just a teenage thing.
A
If I stole.
B
I mean, I've watched you steal candy.
A
Yeah. When we were kids.
B
That's what.
A
That's a right of guy was stealing. It's a rite of pat.
B
Oh, yeah, no, that one. Yeah. I was driving a car, so I was at least 18.
A
Yeah. Do you remember the night? I don't know if you remember this, but it was our friend Danny's 19th birthday. We went out to a place in a story that's no longer there called Rapture.
B
And what is that?
A
It was on. It was on like. Man, it was on like 30. It was like 28th Avenue and like 33rd street or something like that. But we went. It was Halloween. We all, you know, everyone was like dressed up drinking. Danny got really, really, really drunk. And me, you, who are one of our DD's, like whoever the DD was for the night. And another one of our friends who I will not name to not self incriminate. Not self, not incriminate them. We drove around like Whitestone and stole all those lawn signs that were just like so and so for senate and so and so for city council. And then we put them all in our friend's front yard.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah, it was good old time.
B
She missed that. I wasn't there for that.
A
Yeah, you were.
B
No, I wasn't.
A
What?
B
Yeah, I wasn't there that night. I was so mad.
A
Damn.
B
I did see the aftermath.
A
You fucked up.
B
I know.
A
That was a good night. But. Yeah. This guy, Luigi man Jones, the only thing he's stealing right now is the hearts of some people.
B
Some. There's a pretty much all.
A
There's a couple people that are pretty. Are showing up free Luigi, which is hysterical.
B
You know, I don't know why the word Luigi is so funny to me. Luigi. By the way, the way that I spelled Luigi over there.
A
L, E, W, I, G, I.
B
Okay, No, L, U, I, G, I.
A
E. I mean that sounds right there. That's not that bad.
B
I mean, it's not right.
A
That's Luigi. That's multiple Luigi's.
B
Or it's Luigi, but different.
A
Yeah.
B
I will say this. The. The photo of him like he. Like he's getting arrested like a marvel villain.
A
Yeah.
B
Like he's On a dock. Oh, didn't you say, like, yo, why are all the police over there when you drove here? Remember? Didn't you say that to me? Yeah, that's where he was when you're like, yo, why are they all about the docs? Really? Yeah, that's. He was on the.
A
You didn't see the picture?
B
He was on the dock, like, walking in, and there was, like, what looked like a. A hundred police officers behind.
A
Yeah. Which doesn't make any sense.
B
Too much.
A
It's also funny that, like, people are saying, you know, like, the NYPD is, like, taking all the credit for catching this guy when he didn't get caught by the NYPD.
B
Yeah. We should be thanking McDonald's or the catching this guy and for killing us slowly for this many years.
A
Yeah, well, no, no, I think the. The. I think it was Altoona, Pennsylvania. The police over there, maybe they should get some praise. Joey, give it to his normal folks for once. That's why. That's why they voted, you know, they didn't vote for big business Dems this year. Joey, get him. Guys, come in. He's right here.
B
You love doing that.
A
Doing what?
B
You just pointed your expensive watch at me while trying to make it like.
A
No, I didn't.
B
Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. You know what I thought was interesting? I'm like, oh, this is kind of crazy. They're charging him with, like, terrorism.
A
Yeah. I mean, technically. Yeah.
B
Demonetized.
A
Yeah. Before, when you talked about what I talk about. Cutting open humans was cool, wasn't the demonetization?
B
Yeah, I mean, I was dancing around it. I didn't say it, so, you know, crazy. Like, you said the algorithm. Pick it up. I was trying to, like, throw in some other words.
A
Oh, you were throwing it. Unaliving and, you know.
B
Yeah, corn. Yeah, corn.
A
Lacerating. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel.
B
Yeah. But yeah, I thought that was interesting because then people were like, yo, someone, like, kills, like, five people. And then it's like, all right, this person's going to jail, but now you're getting charged with terrorism.
A
Yeah. I mean, it. It is absolutely crazy. I will say, though, that's one of the hardest pictures I've seen in a while.
B
It's a real cool.
A
Where this guy. And did you hear who is his prison mate? He's in the same prison right now in Brooklyn.
B
Oh, yeah. With Diddy. I didn't know that.
A
Dude, someone. I can't take credit for it. Someone, quote, tweeted that, like, part of the article. I'm just like they really are making this fucking Arkham Asylum. Like just like all of New York's worst. I think it was the same one that like, I think. What's his name? Not Harvey. Your boy epi. I don't like those. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Who's EPI Epstein?
B
He was there.
A
I think he was.
B
I don't even know where this.
A
Maybe not. But nonetheless, like, it's becoming like Arkham Asylum. Created by Amadeus. Arkham, obviously. And then, you know, the Raft, which is the. Basically the Marvel equivalent, which is the super. Well, no, the Raft.
B
Yeah.
A
So the Raft is like the super powered prison.
B
Too much. Too much.
A
Yeah. Come on.
B
The Raft is the prisoner.
A
Name five Batman villains that would be in Arkham Asylum. The Penguin you immediately lost.
B
He wouldn't.
A
Penguin, actually in the comics, historically, doesn't go to Arkham because he's not insane. He's just a joker. Yes. There you go. Come on, you're right there.
B
Who. Oh, what's her name?
A
Who's the.
B
Who's Margot Robbie? What's her name?
A
Are you kidding me?
B
Give me the first.
A
No, it's too easy.
B
Oh, something. What's her name?
A
This is crazy.
B
This is actually bad.
A
Yeah, I do know. Yeah. All right. So go other ones then. Forget my cab.
B

B
That would have hurt me a lot.
A
Yeah, I saw the pain. Honestly.
B
That was two.
A
Yeah. There you go.
B
Then we have.
A
And Harley Quinn. Actually Harleen Quinzel, who is the character, was a doctor at Arkham Asylum first, you know, but. Well, I'm not going to tell him that.
B
I wasn't even listening. I kind of.
A
Penguin. I said I know. You're wrong. Two face. Killer Croc. Mr. Freeze.
B
Who's Killer Croc?
A
Killer Croc? Waylon Jones. You don't know Killer Croc? He looks like a big.
B
You thought giving me his government name was going to help me? Is this a crocodile man?
A
He has a skin condition and that's mean. Yeah. And he was like part of it is actually pretty mean. Like the actual story of it. Yeah.
B
Yeah. Well, they all are, aren't they? It's like, oh, well, yeah, he becomes the villain.
A
He became like a full on villain, you know. And then, you know, there's a ton of people you could Put in there.
B
Yeah. You know, you really think about, like, in the grand scheme of, like, Ark or Gotham. What's the difference?
A
Yeah, well, Gotham is the city. Arkham is the place, like, the mental institution. Oh, the asylum.
B
Okay, so Gotham, I. You feel. I feel terrible for these people who live there. There's always just some crazy.
A
Yeah, there's always like. It's like tomorrow there's a clown putting gas in your makeup, and it's like, we've just. Just get out.
B
The whole city is held hostage, bro. As soon as this is over, move.
A
Well, a lot of people don't have that opportunity. But after the sixth attack by a super villain, I'm moving. Get out.
B
I'm sorry.
A
Yeah, no, I'm with you there. But the prison is currently holding Luigi and Diddy.
B
Damn.
A
That's crazy.
B
That is wild.
A
You know, and if any of the potential allegations and rumors about Diddy are true, they might be having a good old time in there.
B
Frank, they're not gonna be able to see each other.
A
You think they're in solitary confinement? Yeah. Not in, like, some, like, gen pop.
B
No, they're not gonna let them pop.
A
You don't think so?
B
No way.
A
I will say there should be, like, you should pay for a photo op like that one that he got.
B
Yeah, that was a crazy photo. Which is crazy because it beat out the Trump one.
A
What a year for pictures.
B
I mean, there's two.
A
Can you name good pictures from any other year?
B
It's a good point.
A
That's what I'm saying. You know, and this isn't a joke. One of the last pictures I really remember was 23 years ago.
B
Frankie, I'm.
A
This not a joke. Like, that's the. Like, I can't think of any, like, famous pictures after that.
B
Something with Obama.
A
He was all video.
B
No, he was the poster.
A
The poster. But it's not a picture.
B
It said hope.
A
Oh, change. Sports stuff. There were some sport pictures.
B
I'm sure there were.
A
There were pictures.
B
Do you think Luigi's photo is better than Trump's photo?
A
Man, There. I gotta admit, both of them are pretty sick.
B
The Luigi photo is a banger, though.
A
The Luigi one is sick because it's more contrast. Like, that's what you would see is like, the COVID of, like, a really good hip hop album. You know what I'm saying? Like, a really good debut album. And then there's just like, you know, it's like, oh, shit. And he's got, like, all the people behind him. Eric Adams is back there trying to get Whatever goodwill he can out of this whole situation. Yeah, it ain't gonna work. But then the Trump one was pretty sick because he was bleeding.
B
I wish he was bleeding more, Joey.
A
There goes that third monetization.
B
Damn it. No, but I mean, like, it would look cooler if it was, like, really?
A
If we're talking, like. By the way, Ric Flair.
B
Speaking of Trump, did you see he has a new haircut? Yeah, it's somehow worse than his previous haircut.
A
Someone said that he looked like Max mom from It's Always Sunny.
B
I, I, I'm not kidding. I don't think that there's ever been a more accurate joke to be made.
A
He does. He does look like her. He's got, like.
B
He's got the mullet.
A
He's got, like. It's like here. Like, it's. Well, there goes the Illuminati reference. Oh, oh.
B
It's like here, like, doing everything I.
A
Don'T even know how to do.
B
What are you doing?
A
Why do the Illuminati have triangles? Come here. Come on. Give us back triangles, guys.
B
By the way, have you looked at a dollar bill? The triangle and the eye are on it.
A
Yeah, that's where it all, like, everyone is. It's on every dollar. Yeah, I think, right?
B
Yeah.
A
Do you remember the, the.
B
I do. I know what you're saying.
A
Tits of Erica.
B
What?
A
You don't remember that?
B
Tits of Erica.
A
Yeah.
B
Who's that?
A
There was, like, if you fold, like, the back of a 20 bill, instead of saying United States of America, it'll say Tits of Erica. And then, like, the one where it's like, oh, look, if you fold it this way. This isn't a joke. You fold it this way, it looks like where the towers got hit.
B
Yeah, like the towers burning. I've done that.
A
That's. Yeah. And then you've seen Batman and the, and the Batmobile on the five.
B
What?
A
Yeah, there's a bunch of those weird ones.
B
I know. The, the Land O Lakes butter. You fold it so it looks like her boobs are out.
A
On what?
B
The butter package.
A
Land O Lakes.
B
Yeah. When they had the Native American. Which one? I don't know if that's.
A
Wow. Hold on. Joey's getting canceled for saying Native American indigenous by Land o'lakes By Land o Lakes Butter. The one with the biggest knockers? No, the fattest titted butter you could find.
B
She's on her knees and, like, presenting the title of Land o Lakes. I think they took her off.
A
I hope.
B
But then you fold it and it.
A
Looks like her boobs I don't remember that.
B
You don't remember that?
A
Actually, I might. I mean, chances are, if it was around when we were kids, I did it. Yeah. And was pumped about it.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, I remember all those. I remember. I remember the one that I used to do was in. And it's weird that this is just right here for this, but like, that I would put right on the board, the Lao Club. And I would like, ask teachers, like, are you in the Lao Club? And they'd say, like, what. What do you mean? Lao club?
B
You would do this to your teacher? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Lao Club.
A
Yeah, the Lao Club.
B
What is it?
A
And they'd be like, what? I'd be like, are you in the Lao Club? And they'd be like, no. And it'd be like, all right, well, the joke's ruined. But if you turn it upside down, looks like a person jerking off.
B
Frankie, you did that to your teachers.
A
Yeah.
B
You were. And you show. And you.
A
I wouldn't know. I wouldn't show them that. I would just. I would just leave and they'd say, no. It was like an inside joke with the boys. Like, the boys knew what it meant.
B
Yeah. You wanted to know if your teacher was in the jerk off club. Unbelievable stuff.
A
I'm sorry. What did you do in school that was so cool. Fucking 12 Hail Marys. Pray to your daily bread.
B
That's not how get. Don't. Don't do that. We can't handle another demonetization Lao club. That's so stupid. But it's so funny. It's so stupid. Oh, man. Yeah. I can tell you this right now. If you were doing that in front of me, I'd be losing it.
A
You'd be laughing hard. It would be so funny.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, that's. That was back when teachers were allowed to teach and laugh.
B
Do you remember?
A
Now that would be a fucking.
B
You'd go home early that day.
A
Go home early. I'd go home forever and then get home and go to the big home upstairs. Forever.
B
Oh, man. I was just gonna say something now I forgot.
A
Fuck, yeah. Too bad, bitch. There it goes. See you later. I will say that I. If. Oh, sorry.
B
Like, it was gonna. I was gonna say, like, that kind of. Or when you were younger and someone came up to you, it was like, yo, do you like this or that? You always knew. You're like, one of these answers means I'm gay. So, like, which one is it?
A
Someone did that to me once when they were like, how do you look at your Nails. And I was like, oh, yeah?
B
What do you mean?
A
And I was just like. They're like, how do you look at your fingernails?
B
You're like, look at your nails.
A
And there's either this way or there's this way. And both were gay. Gay. I got called gay for both of them.
B
Yeah. So what's the straight way to look at your nails? You don't. And you let him get dirty. But, yeah, I remember that one too. Was like, oh, I don't know. I liked it.
A
And she's like, yo, you're gay. Yeah.
B
Wait. Okay.
A
Yeah. Joey was the type where someone would, like, send him a note that says, do you like me? Yes or no? And he would circle or.
B
Frank. I did that a lot.
A
I know.
B
Or you would probably do that too.
A
No, no one ever sent me a note asking me if I like them. Okay, it's true. It is true. I never.
B
No one's ever handed you a note. I don't believe.
A
No, they've handed me notes a hundred, a hundred thousand times. But, like, I was notes. No, I'd get notes because I'd talk to people. I talk. I was a talker. Okay, but, like, no, like. And this is seriously true, okay, I say this to Becca too. And you kind of know this. Like, there weren't girls that, like, had crushes on me and made it known if they did, they. But, like, I had, like, a girl that I liked and someone liked me. And then. Yeah, we were the most passionate, you know, Boyfriend and girlfriend in sixth grade.
B
Tons of people had crushes on you. Not especially in middle school. Especially.
A
I don't think so, dude. I really. And I'm not. I'm not joking around. Like, I really don't think so.
B
You heard his voice. I'm not, not joking around. No, I stop now. Okay, Like, I'm a child now.

B
It Dumber than the Lao.
A
It's up there is you. And I went to. There was a girl in my middle school that had a crush on me. And one of her friends had a crush on you. We went to her birthday party at her house. We took the train there on like a Saturday evening at like 5pm or something. And as a birthday present, we got an empty shoebox and we filled it with just like five slices of white bread and we gave it to her. I remember this vividly because at the time we would just say bread at random points in time, and we thought it was the funniest thing ever.
B
Yeah.
A
And we gave it to her and she opened it and we went, bread.
B
And no one laughs. Probably. We probably laugh.
A
And we've made a living making each other laugh, so I think we're okay.
B
Yeah. That was a. I'll tell you who did. Not a bright spot.
A
I'll tell you who did not laugh.
B
Her.
A

I don't know if you know how questions were. What was her name? I know it.
A
I'm. I'm not gonna say the person's name.
B
Is it like a.
A
It's a very common name.
B
So then is it Muhammad?
A
It is Muhammad. It was Muhammad.
B
Yeah.
A
The most common name.
B
Yeah. Well, you know, I'm gonna give you. Do you have any more clubs?
A
Not that I could remember.
B
You know what I do remember? Going through a phase of Lana.
A
Yeah. Lana was a big fan.
B
Lana was one where it's like, yo, you do like Lana.
A
Oh, you know who it is now?
B
Yeah, Yeah. I don't know why you're hiding.
A
There was a girl in my high school, her name was Lana.
B
And you're like, oh, your name is anal back.
A
Way to go, Lana.
B
Do you ever look at your name in the mirror and then realize it says anal?
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Stupid.

Yeah, Whatever.
B
Being a kid is fun.
A
It is the most fun.

Are really appreciative that we get to remember how much of being a kid we were.
B
Yeah.
A
What.
B
Such a random thing to say.
A
I'll be honest. I don't even know how I formulated that sentence.
B
Yeah, me neither. I think it's starting to get to that point.
A
Yeah. But anyway, I. You. You have made a good point. And we'll leave the episode on this. What is the better picture? The Trump picture. Regardless of how you feel about Trump's politics and. And personal and everything that tells you that he may not record. Yeah, Every. Everything to suggest he's not a good person. Also, Luigi, regardless of how you feel, he is a murderer. Allegedly.

A
It looks honestly. Even if it's like, yeah, but the eyebrows, they're different.
B
And it's like, okay, this is a security camera. Yeah.
A
So go. What's the better picture? I think that's a really good question. To leave people on really goods crazy.

I think the better question is, do you think Limb Bizkit holds up as much as Frankie thinks it holds up?
A
The music.
