A
I always needed you, you, you, you. And it's like different moments of us, like, laughing at each other.
- [00:07]
B
Yeah.
- [00:07]
A
You know, or like, hugging on stage or something like that. Yeah. You know, but it's fine, guys. 2025, hug your bros, dude.
- [00:15]
B
Yeah.
- [00:15]
A
Dude hug. It's bro hugging season.
- [00:19]
B
Can't just do another season.
- [00:20]
A
Maybe we can. I guess we could, because we got dog sucking season, but seasons end.
- [00:24]
B
You should rug your. You should hug your bros for life.
- [00:26]
A
Seasons end only.
- [00:27]
B
I was gonna say you should brug your hoes.
- [00:29]
A
Yeah.
- [00:30]
B
Broke your hoes and hug your bro. Forget to brug your hose.
- [00:33]
A
2025, the year you brought your hose and hug your bros. Yeah, I kind of like that.
- [00:37]
B
Me too.
- [00:38]
A
What does brug stand for, though?
- [00:39]
B
Athena Make a shirt.
- [00:40]
A
Shirt. It.
- [00:41]
B
She's not. She lives.
- [00:43]
A
She's.
- [00:44]
B
She work in the uk.
- [00:45]
A
She's across the pond, as far as I know.
- [00:47]
B
She's always moving.
- [00:48]
A
Yeah. She's. She's all over the place. Yeah. I. I think that this should be the year that people, like, stop this, like, you know, like, feeling weird about showing affection for their bros. Yeah. You know, make this the year of bragging your hoes and hugging your bros. Yeah. That's it.
- [01:08]
B
Mm. I agree. I'm in agreement. What were you just talking about?
- [01:13]
A
I will say, I don't know why you showed up looking like Dexter Morgan, but it's kind of this is last.
- [01:18]
B
Year energy that you're doing here.
- [01:19]
A
No, no, no.
- [01:20]
B
Yeah, you are.
- [01:20]
A
No, no, no, bitch. Because I love hearing I'm back. I'm backpedaling a little bit.
- [01:25]
B
Some people, their resolutions go out the window in a week. Frank is immediately.
- [01:30]
A
Well, you mistook me calling you Dexter Morgan for a bad thing. One of my favorite shows of all time.
- [01:35]
B
I will say this is a very Dexter Morgan show.
- [01:37]
A
People absolutely love Dexter Morgan. I mean, the way he.
- [01:42]
B
Like, you love him. You had a poster of him in your college dorm room.
- [01:45]
A
I did. Not for gay reasons. For. Just because it's a good show.
- [01:49]
B
Was it the one where he's covered in plastic wrap?
- [01:52]
A
Oh, it was that or it's the one where it's like he's holding a fake hand.
- [01:55]
B
Right.
- [01:56]
A
And it's. It's like a dead. Like. Oh, he's just like us, but a killer.
- [01:59]
B
But it's a killer. It's a hand.
- [02:01]
A
Yeah. I mean, not a bad thing. I think that, you know, I would.
- [02:05]
B
Never let a dead hand touch my face. Disgusting.
- [02:08]
A
Trying to think of where dead hands have touched.
- [02:09]
B
Isn't it weird? So there's two examples of things, right?
- [02:12]
A
Yeah, of things. Just things.
- [02:13]
B
No. Yeah, of what I'm about to say youy know, you shake someone's hand, you know, whatever. You love your grandma, you know, whatever the fuck, as soon as they're dead, it's like, oh, yeah, Well, I would never touch a dead body unless it was like.
- [02:29]
A
Go ahead.
- [02:32]
B
I realize that's a weird place to pause, but it's like, if your loved one just died, it's like, you know, whatever. But, like, you. Like, three hours after a body dies, I'm kind of like, oh, that's gross.
- [02:43]
A
So there's like a real. There's like a time frame at which you're touching dead dead bodies. Yeah.
- [02:47]
B
You have to be, like, very new.
- [02:49]
A
Freshly dead, Fresh off the press.
- [02:51]
B
Dead.
- [02:51]
A
Fresh freshly dead.
- [02:52]
B
Or yeah.
- [02:53]
A
After the embalming fluid is kind of doing it.
- [02:55]
B
No, but I don't even want to touch bodies then.
- [02:57]
A
Really?
- [02:58]
B
No. What do you want? I want to just lean over to.
- [03:00]
A
The basket and give it a hug. I'll be honest with you. Every week that I have been to, I have to touch the body. I know, but just to make me feel something.
- [03:09]
B
I know. Well, that's insane. But I. But you also, like, love to touch stuff. You touch the street.
- [03:13]
A
I am a very tactile person. I explained this. Anytime one of my. I remember this, you know, younger. My sister and I would, like, go to the mall or, like, she'd go shopping. We'd, like, hang out or whatever. And anytime she'd go clothing shopping, I would. She'd be like, do you like this? I would immediately touch it. Because so much of what I enjoy about life is right here. Right. It could be a beautifully, like, really nice shirt. And if it feels like shit.
- [03:42]
B
Yeah.
- [03:42]
A
I don't care for it.
- [03:43]
B
Yeah. I don't like shirts that feel like construction paper, you know?
- [03:47]
A
God, hate that. I'm all about saving the planet, but, like, recycled shirts.
- [03:53]
B
You. Yeah, I'm all set on the Turtles. Go on that.
- [03:57]
A
Yeah. Like, if you're gonna feel icky on my skin, I don't want to save the planet.
- [04:00]
B
I agree.
- [04:00]
A
I don't want that. You know? And now what they're doing with, like, Snapple bottles and shit like that.
- [04:05]
B
Yeah. Now we're going.
- [04:06]
A
Now we're going back.
- [04:07]
B
Wait, with plastic? Isn't plastic worse than, like, tin or whatever the. That.
- [04:11]
A
Yeah. Dude. People are just like, glass is bad for everything. Like, save the Turtles. And it's like, now glass is bad.
- [04:17]
B
When is glass bad?
- [04:19]
A
I guess glass is Bad. I think it's also probably, from the company's perspective, more expensive to create.
- [04:24]
B
That's what it is.
- [04:25]
A
Glass bottles, right? And they're just like, this is 100% recycled material. Where do you get it from the floating island of recycled nonsense. I'm on to you recycle thing.
- [04:35]
B
I don't even know what plastic really is. I don't know. How do you make that?
- [04:38]
A
It's a polymer.
- [04:40]
B
What's that, a Pokemon? I don't know what that is, Frank.
- [04:42]
A
Well, poly is like. It's like a bunch of materials, you know, like, put together.
- [04:47]
B
Right. But I. But, like, which.
- [04:49]
A
Exactly. Yeah.
- [04:50]
B
That's why I'm saying I don't even know what plastic is. Like, I. I know that, you know, it's plastic.
- [04:55]
A
I will say, you know, there is some credit to be. Because, you know, all these old people are just like, I lived in the greatest time of the universe, and, you know, my time, the greatest generation. I will say things were better when everything was made of metal and plastic. Just. I mean, metal and glass. Just saying. Just saying.
- [05:13]
B
I like glass.
- [05:14]
A
I love glass. Glass is so cool.
- [05:16]
B
Glass is great.
- [05:17]
A
I feel important when I have something in my hand made of glass.
- [05:21]
B
Mm.
- [05:21]
A
I feel like, you know, like a glass bottle of Coke.
- [05:26]
B
Yes. Those are cool.
- [05:27]
A
Those are real cool.
- [05:28]
B
Yeah. Did I tell you. I told you the story about the guy who, like, showed me this place was, like, always ordering a glass Coke. Every time I saw him, I was like, this is so weird.
- [05:37]
A
I think you are vastly underplaying how popular Coca Cola is, and I'm not.
- [05:42]
B
It's the fucking biggest drink in the.
- [05:44]
A
There's a new study that came out that apparently every, you know, can of Coke you have takes, like 12 minutes off your life.
- [05:50]
B
I haven't drank a lot of soda in my life.
- [05:52]
A
Oh, I have. And I'll tell you this. We know someone that might be dead in a week from the amount of Coca Cola.
- [05:56]
B
Oh, yeah?
- [05:57]
A
Yeah.
- [05:58]
B
And his name starts with A and ends with Ahmed.
- [06:03]
A
Yeah.
- [06:04]
B
Ahmed's going down if that's true.
- [06:06]
A
Yeah. Just bring. Bring back glass.
- [06:09]
B
I'd like some glass. I. I also like fucking doing that. You know what I mean?
- [06:14]
A
What's your favorite way to drink a beer? Draft can glass. Funneled.
- [06:21]
B
Draft.
- [06:23]
A
Rank those. Draft can glass you don't need to put funneled in there because that's not a real way.
- [06:27]
B
Draft is.
- [06:28]
A
Or keg keg keg.
- [06:29]
B
Certainly last.
- [06:30]
A
Keg.
- [06:31]
B
Keg is certainly last, I would say.
- [06:37]
A
I know. I know what my answers are.
- [06:38]
B
Easily I think that mine is, is, is glass can, draft keg. I don't love draft.
- [06:45]
A
I do like draft.
- [06:46]
B
I was gonna say it's so big.
- [06:47]
A
I was gonna say glass draft. Can keg last for me.
- [06:52]
B
I don't mind a can. Cuz you kind of like, you can do this.
- [06:55]
A
I don't know what that is.
- [06:56]
B
Like you can kind of move around and talk a little.
- [06:57]
A
How are you talking? How are you talking? Like you're firing off a shotgun.
- [07:00]
B
Oh, like sometimes I get really into a story and I gotta move a little bit, you know, I mean, or it's like, it's just nice to stand there like yay.
- [07:06]
A
You can't do that with a bottle. If anything, you could do it more with a bottle than a can.
- [07:09]
B
A bottle's first.
- [07:10]
A
That's what I'm saying. But you said I like cans. Cause I can just shove them around.
- [07:14]
B
More than a draft. Cause I kind of have to balance that.
- [07:16]
A
That is true. But most of the time when you're having a draft, you're at like a bar or something. You could put it down, tell your story, go like this.
- [07:22]
B
There's also not a lot of beers that are like on draft that are really good. It's like light beers and like some fucking bullshit.
- [07:28]
A
Yeah, I mean, I went to the.
- [07:30]
B
Diviest bar I've ever been to this past weekend. Let me tell you, people died in that.
- [07:37]
A
Well, I'll tell you this, you kind of liked it.
- [07:41]
B
Why? What are you gaslighting me into having an opinion? What was that? You liked it.
- [07:46]
A
You did like it.
- [07:47]
B
No, I mean I didn't, I didn't. I was like, really? It's cuz it smelled like a basement, but we were above ground.
- [07:52]
A
But there's something that, that, that's actually probably the black mold coursing through your lungs right now.
- [07:57]
B
100%, there's black mold. I, I, there was a hole in the ceiling.
- [08:02]
A
Unexplainable asbestos. That's what that probably was.
- [08:05]
B
No, I don't know if you know what asbestos is. Yeah, it doesn't make holes.
- [08:09]
A
I know, but it was probably in.
- [08:11]
B
Oh, it was probably in the, probably in that hole.
- [08:14]
A
You know, it's probably filled with that. I'm just, I think a dive bar is such a. First of all, you live in Brooklyn now. People are trying to make dive bars. Second of all, there is something so heartwarming about it because it's just like, it's a relic of the past, like pre corporatization of everything. It was just like A little mom and pop place that was owned by an old guy that wore a newsy hat. And anytime you walked in, he's cleaning the glasses, he's like, what do you want, hun?
- [08:41]
B
Yeah. And he makes inappropriate comments at women. See, that's the kind of bar you want to go to.
- [08:44]
A
Exactly. Yeah.
- [08:49]
B
I went to a bar one time.
- [08:50]
A
Where it was called, like, Jerry's.
- [08:51]
B
I walked in, the guy's like, you guys aren't from here. And I was like, what's your name? Jerry. He's Jerry.
- [08:55]
A
He's Jerry. You met Jerry. That's what I'm talking about, dude. One love that. This is going to sound so fucking insane, but one of my favorite, like, places, because during college we'd go out house parties. There was, like, kind of like, up, not upscale, like half bar, half clubs, but like, okay, my. One of my favorite places. There were two bars in West Haven. One was called Spectators, AKA Specs.
- [09:19]
B
That sounds like a.
- [09:20]
A
It was voyeurism bar. It basically was. The other one was called the Brick. And they were the diabetes of dive bars. But there's just such a com. Like a comfort and camaraderie in that. Like, you walk in and they're just like, oh, yeah, yeah, Cheers. We have lost Cheers. Doesn't exist anymore.
- [09:39]
B
Haven't even seen a frame of that.
- [09:41]
A
Neither have I. But I know what it's about. It's about a bar where everyone knows your name.
- [09:45]
B
Right.
- [09:46]
A
Why do you think that show is so timeless?
- [09:49]
B
No, there's only been one bartender in my entire life that has ever, like, remembered my name.
- [09:54]
A
And was it the Irish guy from fucking. What's it called?
- [09:57]
B
Joe's Garage.
- [09:58]
A
Joe's Garage. No name like Cormac. It was.
- [10:00]
B
It was. It was something. Oh, it was like a. Yeah, it was something like that.
- [10:03]
A
Like McClernand.
- [10:04]
B
It was mad Irish. It could have been Connor Macintosh.
- [10:07]
A
It might have.
- [10:08]
B
Yeah, it could have been Macintosh. He did have red hair, but Red Delicious.
- [10:12]
A
It was the. Dude I'm just naming apples.
- [10:14]
B
His name is not Red Delicious. That's what I know. No, it was the bartender at McCann's.
- [10:20]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [10:20]
B
His name was Richie, but that's what I'm talking about.
- [10:23]
A
Like a nice dive bar. And that place is gone now.
- [10:25]
B
I know.
- [10:26]
A
You know, now it's like a fucking, like, salon or some stupid shit.
- [10:29]
B
No, it's a. It's a wine bar, I think.
- [10:31]
A
Also stupid.
- [10:32]
B
I went. And it was pretty cool.
- [10:34]
A
Okay. But also stupid. Yeah, but like, I went to these places, like Specs and the Brick. And you'd go. And they'd be like, what do you want? I'll be like, whatever you got on draft. You'd get a dollar draft beer. And I remember this for a fact. I went in October, and they still had green beer from Magic's day.
- [10:51]
B
And that's insane. Yeah.
- [10:52]
A
But it was home. Yeah.
- [10:54]
B
I mean, there is something. You're right. Like, when you go to a. When I go to a dive bar, I want it to not be good in a way. Like, I want to get my drink, and, like, I want the beer to taste good, but I want there to be a spider.
- [11:05]
A
Well, here's the thing, is that what a lot of people. What a lot of people are not understanding in today's society, where it's like, oh, it's like a small hole in the wall restaurant. Like, what we are missing out on.
- [11:18]
B
Now is the actual hole in the wall.
- [11:20]
A
Yes. And everything is too polished.
- [11:22]
B
Right.
- [11:23]
A
Like, there was a certain amount of just dingy, grungy dirtiness.
- [11:27]
B
Yeah.
- [11:28]
A
That made things feel more human, like. Yeah. And now when you go into a dive bar, they have $40 cocktails.
- [11:35]
B
Can't have that.
- [11:35]
A
And a fucking toilet gin that is made by a Norwegian immigrant that is too expensive.
- [11:42]
B
I don't know what a toilet gin is.
- [11:44]
A
Bathtub gin. Excuse me? Toilet gin. Toilet wine. Bathtub gin.
- [11:52]
B
That's bad. Funny.
- [11:53]
A
You know what I'm saying, though?
- [11:54]
B
What's toilet wine? Is that prison?
- [11:57]
A
It's a real thing. Toilet wine is a real thing, and so is bathtub gin.
- [12:00]
B
Well, I don't. Not familiar with either of those. I will say, though, I agree with you, because this was, like, a real one. This was upstate, you know, they had a giant beer list. So I go up, and I'm sitting at the bar, and I'm talking to the bartender, and I'm like, oh, can I just get this? And he goes. Looks to the sides of. On the ground. By the way. It wasn't like, the taps. It wasn't the fridge behind him. He looks on the ground, he's like, I don't think we have that anymore. I'm like, oh, no. So I. I did three beers that they didn't have.
- [12:29]
A
Not a single one.
- [12:30]
B
And the second one, he was like, jess, do we have that? We just got rid of the last one.
- [12:36]
A
Yeah.
- [12:36]
B
Ordered a beer. The one that he did have. He's like, got the last one. Brings it out to me. 1. When someone says that it's not gonna be good. Okay.
- [12:45]
A
Oh, yeah, it's the last one. You know why they call it bottom of the barrel, right?
- [12:48]
B
Yeah. Handed me it. It looked like he slammed it against his head. There was a giant dent in, like, the top of it. I don't even know if I could open this. Chief, what are we doing?
- [12:59]
A
But.
- [13:00]
B
But I drank it.
- [13:01]
A
You drank it and you enjoyed it. That is what is so wrong with society here. You know what? I often reintroduce trends. We've often spoke about giving me credit for reintroducing Hawaiian shirts, the re. Establishment of Red Lobster. A lot of people understand the power of words on this show. So 2025 is gonna be the year.
- [13:24]
B
We get dirty, Dirty and stinky.
- [13:26]
A
Dirty and stinky again. Because. Listen, hey, big Dems. You're watching, right? We're getting political.
- [13:32]
B
Who? Oh, Democrats.
- [13:34]
A
Democrats. Yeah. Yeah.
- [13:35]
B
You're speaking to the Democrats. To all of them. Got it.
- [13:37]
A
The libs, the Dems, everyone in between.
- [13:39]
B
Okay, you know why?
- [13:40]
A
You know why you lost? Because you're appealing to not the real Americans in this country. All right? Oh, see, can you see? You have lost your way. Singing the decision.
- [13:53]
B
You're singing.
- [13:54]
A
Shut up. You have lost your way by the downs early.
- [13:59]
B
Oh, it's background music is what.
- [14:00]
A
You're doing it for me.
- [14:02]
B
Nope.
- [14:02]
A
Please.
- [14:04]
B
What's so proud.
- [14:07]
A
You're supposed to talk. Oh, sorry. You have lost your way. This country was built off of the dirty, grimy, greasy hands of those that have come over and sought asylum. So guess what, America? Guess what? Okay. Guess what, big Dems. I know you're listening, Bernie.
- [14:25]
B
Can you imagine that if Bernie Sanders listened to this show make this year.
- [14:29]
A
Let's get back to our roots. Let's be a little grimy. I want to see someone hand me a beer like this.
- [14:35]
B
I don't want.
- [14:36]
A
I want to see someone wipe their mouth with a cup and then fill it up with water and ask me to drink from it. Let's get back to hell. Are you talking about us as a society? We feel we need to be too clean cut, and prim and proper. Let's get back to being dirty, grimy, and grungy. And that's when we reestablish America.
- [14:59]
B
That. I'm not going to. I'm being serious when I say this. Yeah, 8% of that made sense. 8.
- [15:05]
A
I think most of it did.
- [15:06]
B
I don't. I don't think that. But you think the election was won and lost with the amount of like that. We need to be dive bars more.
- [15:13]
A
That'S what you're saying. Yes, absolutely.
- [15:15]
B
The dive bars need to Be really.
- [15:17]
A
I imagine if you ask people that voted a very special specific way during this last election, if they want more dive bars, bring it back to, you know, to all old, old, you know, screaming, screaming Steve down the block, give him his establishment back. They'll say, yeah, here's one thing that.
- [15:33]
B
I will say I'm cool with bringing back. I think that we need to have more saloon doors.
- [15:41]
A
Uh huh.
- [15:42]
B
I'd like to kick open some saloon doors.
- [15:44]
A
Yeah. We've lost the ability to do that with like. And people turn around and like anytime.
- [15:50]
B
You walk through saloon doors, you got.
- [15:51]
A
People got to look at you anytime. It should be a law. Bars need to have saloon doors.
- [15:55]
B
Right.
- [15:56]
A
And it's like a, you know, like, remember that guy that was screaming? The white guy that was screaming questionably racist Japanese at that restaurant we went to anytime someone walked in.
- [16:05]
B
Oh, yep.
- [16:06]
A
He was screaming actual stuff.
- [16:07]
B
He wasn't, he wasn't screaming racist remarks.
- [16:09]
A
Yeah, no, he would.
- [16:10]
B
But he, he was saying welcome, I think.
- [16:12]
A
Yeah. But also it was a Japanese restaurant without a single Japanese person working there.
- [16:16]
B
Right.
- [16:18]
A
It should be a rule that anytime someone walks in and one just does one of these, I think they do look back, you know, no dive bars though.
- [16:25]
B
If you go to places where there's not a lot of people, everyone looks at you. I don't know if I love that.
- [16:29]
A
I don't. But that's because of who we are.
- [16:31]
B
What is that? You like attention, but you're like, when I walk into a room, nobody look at me.
- [16:37]
A
You know, I think that's the complex in the world that we live in. Having made frank, you have, you have.
- [16:41]
B
Referenced society in the world that we live in 400 times. And I'm done. I'm sick of it already.
- [16:45]
A
It's 2025. I know.
- [16:47]
B
I'm trying to be more positive. Stop talking for society.
- [16:51]
A
I listen. We are a mouth for society. Societies asked us to be their mouths. Okay? We have a responsibility on this platform. This is the year, Joey, where we start shutting mouths and opening mouths.
- [17:07]
B
This is what, what. This is why I hate New Year's. Okay. Resolutions. And it's like, this is what this year is going to be about. You're going to forget this. You may have already forgotten it right now.
- [17:18]
A
I'll be honest with you. Most of what I say on this show immediately out the window the second I walked through that door.
- [17:23]
B
Right. That just goes to show how much thought goes into the things that we say on the show.
- [17:27]
A
But it is the new year. Thank you. Christmas was Here. We exchanged gifts. We exchanged kind to you.
- [17:32]
B
We talked about it, where we exchanged gifts in the parking lot here, which looked very not safe.
- [17:37]
A
Yeah, it was. It was a questionable drug deal.
- [17:40]
B
I did make a grave mistake when giving Frank gifts for him and his children and his wife. Yeah, yeah. And Miles, the oldest one, which is the one that you shouldn't mess up because he knows what's going on. I got him a miniature hockey net because he's into hockey now and he's a Devils fan, trust me.
- [18:05]
A
It's been. It's been a topic of contention in.
- [18:06]
B
The house, but it was, like, branded as, like, the New Jersey Devils. And there's like, two little sticks so, you know, Frankie can get on his knees and they play hockey in the basement or something like that. You know what I mean? And I wrapped it. Well, I took some stuff out of the box because I was, like, gonna put it in a bag, but then the box was like, this big, so it didn't fit in the bag. This is a very long winded explanation here. But I took some stuff out of the bag, forgot about it, wrapped the box, then gave him the box. And on Christmas morning, I think.
- [18:38]
A
No, actually Christmas Eve morning.
- [18:40]
B
Christmas Eve morning, Miles opened it up and it was just the pipes.
- [18:45]
A
Yeah.
- [18:46]
B
And it was missing the sticks, the balls, the net, and the. The part that says New Jersey Devils. He literally opened up a box from old Uncle Joey that was white pipes. Frankie didn't know what I got him either. So, Frankie, when I got home, I.
- [19:02]
A
Was like, oh, shit.
- [19:04]
B
Everything that makes this a gift, I still had it. Yeah. So I open the box, or I'm thinking, I'm like, they just opened up a bunch of white.
- [19:13]
A
Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's weird because when kids get to a certain age, like, Christmas is. You make it as magical for your kids, but it could be often overwhelming. Like, it is like, a lot of gifts. A lot of gifts. Kids wake up at the crack of dawn and, like, you just start bombarding them with shit.
- [19:28]
B
Do you guys go in order? Like, everyone opens their spoon.
- [19:30]
A
No, we try to, like, one at a time. It okay, but.
- [19:32]
B
But it's not a free for all is what I'm saying.
- [19:34]
A
No, correct. It's not a free for all because we want to see the kids, you know, open their gifts from Santa and stuff like that. But it's. It's overwhelming. So, like, at a certain age, and you'll see this when you have kids, like, you kind of need to, like, train them when opening gifts from loved ones. Because, like, kids are very honest, and they'll open something and they'll go like, oh, I don't. You know, like, they'll say, like, there have been times in the past, maybe not with Miles, but I've seen other kids being, like, opening something. Just being like, oh, okay, whack. You know, basically.
- [20:02]
B
Yeah.
- [20:03]
A
So, like, Miles is really empathetic, and he's really good at being, like. Even if in the moment, he's not excited about it, he's like, wow, this is awesome.
- [20:12]
B
I may have stumped him with Pipes, though.
- [20:14]
A
He opened that, and, like.
- [20:18]
B
I was laughing so hard.
- [20:20]
A
It's just like, whoa. And, like, you know, like, the parent in me, like, Becca and I are sitting there, and we're just like, oh, what is that? Like, oh, this could that be? You know? And, like, there's no. Guess it's just white.
- [20:36]
B
Just pipes.
- [20:36]
A
Indiscriminate PVC pipes. There's. Yeah.
- [20:38]
B
Yeah.
- [20:39]
A
It's literally just pvc. And we're just like, oh, okay. You know. And then. Yeah, we're like. And I didn't. Because you had texted me laughing about this. Like, I didn't want to reach out to you and be like, what the fuck did you get?
- [20:53]
B
Yeah. Yeah.
- [20:53]
A
Because it comes off as insensitive, right? I mean, like, you're not gonna be the one to get a gift.
- [20:57]
B
And.
- [20:57]
A
And she'd be like, hey, by the way, what the fuck was that? Right? So, like, we just, like. We're just like, oh, okay. We just, like, let it do its thing. And then you texted me.
- [21:06]
B
No, the best part about this is that you're trying to do a nice thing. So when he was opening it, Frankie was taking pictures. But Frankie didn't send me those pictures. He sent it to me after. I was like, dude, I fucked up, and I didn't put all this shit in there. And then he sent me the pictures.
- [21:23]
A
Pictures of girls opening their gifts. No, you sent me a picture of.
- [21:27]
B
Miles opening my gift, but he had just started opening it. And I was thinking about this after the fact. I was like, you probably didn't send that to me because you were so confused that I gave your son pipes.
- [21:39]
A
Yeah, he was. He was a little confused.
- [21:41]
B
Like, I don't. I just.
- [21:43]
A
He was confused. I just, you know, like, again, like, you want funny. It was a very. It was very funny. It was very. It was actually, you know, like, you. Joey's being honest when he said we hadn't seen each other since the day before. So the 23rd.
- [21:55]
B
Yeah.
- [21:56]
A

Back to you. Don't you know you don't like pointing?
- [25:58]
A
You know What? Point away, babe. 2025. You can point at me.
- [26:03]
B
That one felt. When you twist a Point.
- [26:06]
A
That felt a little muddy.
- [26:07]
B
This is so much worse than that. This actually. Which is worse. This. This is kind of.
- [26:12]
A
That's like that person that's like, get that person. Like the middle.
- [26:15]
B
Yeah.
- [26:16]
A
The minute it turns, it's just like, get him.
- [26:18]
B
Yeah. It's like you're a person. And I was like, now.
- [26:20]
A
You're now someone's target.
- [26:21]
B
You're.
- [26:22]
A
Yeah, the. The, you know, turning it makes it like. Yeah, yeah. Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. We're starting off this year hot, hot steam. But speaking of steaming, I was in the shower.
- [26:36]
B
You like real hot in the shower, don't you?
- [26:38]
A
I kind of do, yeah. You know, that's probably why my skin is so dry. Why?
- [26:42]
B
Because you have really hot water.
- [26:44]
A
Hey, baby.
- [26:45]
B
I get.
- [26:45]
A
Look, I'm a little dry right now.
- [26:47]
B
I know. Here we go.
- [26:49]
A
What?
- [26:49]
B
I thought you were gonna lick your hands like a cat.
- [26:51]
A
No, no, they're not that dry right now. Actually, this one is. But I. So.
- [26:56]
B
Yep, I know so.
- [26:59]
A
But I'm in the shower and was like, I guess on Tick Tock or something, I saw that guy that I always talk about that annoys me. Yep.
- [27:06]
B
You're in the shower on TikTok.
- [27:08]
A
No, no, no. Before the shower. I saw that guy on TikTok. That's just like, the water is a putrid zero degrees today and it's minus three outside. We're gonna. You know that guy that takes fucking cold, cold plunges every day? Yeah, Fuck him also. Good for him. But then I was thinking about, as I do in the shower, if I were to verbally berate someone that would take cold showers, which I have gotten very close before because there's a family member who, like, tried to, like, push me toward cold showers once. And then I was just like. I kind of like started hyping myself up. I was like, wait, no, I could do this if I wanted to, but I don't want to.
- [27:46]
B
You don't want to because someone's telling you to do it? Basically, yeah. Nope, not basically.
- [27:52]
A
Basically, okay, yes. But it was getting to the point, like, how many. And honestly, be honest with yourself. How many times have you just put yourself in the mindset of just like, I have no reason to do something, but, like, my own determination wants to see if I can do it, so.
- [28:05]
B
I'm going to do it all the time.
- [28:08]
A
Exactly.
- [28:09]
B
Yeah.
- [28:09]
A
That was what it was. It's just like, I'm not going to be one of those cold shower people, but, like, I could do this if I wanted to.
- [28:17]
B
Okay.
- [28:18]
A
So I Turned the shower. At the end of my shower, I was like, I'm going to count in my head.
- [28:22]
B
How long were you planning to do the cold shower?
- [28:25]
A
Until I couldn't take it anymore.
- [28:26]
B
Got it.
- [28:26]
A
I was like, I'm just going to count my head and turn the water cold and see what happens.
- [28:30]
B
And you were in a steaming hot.
- [28:32]
A
Yeah, I, this is not an exaggeration. I, I started hyperventilating and almost passed out. Could you have imagined if I passed out face down in a cold shower, ass up, Frank. Could you imagine?
- [28:51]
B
I, I, I'm not kidding. This is gonna sound fucked up.
- [28:56]
A
I'm ready for it.
- [28:57]
B
I wish that happened.
- [28:58]
A
Really?
- [28:59]
B
How funny would it be if that happened? If you were like your asshole open, can you imagine she had to find you with your bunghole wide open?
- [29:14]
A
Yeah, that would have. Well, first of all, I don't know how you think I shower. I don't shower with my asshole agape.
- [29:19]
B
No, I know that, but I'm saying like you just go down. So now you're just kind of like toot it up.
- [29:24]
A
I, I have openly thought about how bad it would be because Becca is, without exaggeration, half of my size.
- [29:32]
B
Right. So like she can't get you out of there.
- [29:35]
A
Just imagine. Yeah.
- [29:36]
B
You know, like she's gonna have to call someone. Maybe she could put a like a little.
- [29:40]
A
It's worth. Here's the thing. It would be bad if Becca found me, but I imagine that she would have to call her father, my father in law, to rescue me. Bro, that's way worse than Becca.
- [29:52]
B
Yeah. First of all, I'm hoping she would call 911 before she would call her dad. Let a fireman or a paramedic handle this.
- [30:01]
A
But also bad dude.
- [30:03]
B
Yeah. I mean at least like they've seen a bunch of butts in the shower.
- [30:07]
A
I don't need to add something to that.
- [30:08]
B
I agree.
- [30:09]
A
And now I love my butt.
- [30:11]
B
Right.
- [30:11]
A
But I don't want like I feel like a passed out but wouldn't look as good as like a well at all living.
- [30:16]
B
But let's also not forget the space between, which is a great song by. I was gonna say between. I was talking about that.
- [30:26]
A
I forgot that song existed.
- [30:28]
B
It's such a good song.
- [30:32]
A
That's all I know.
- [30:32]
B
Yeah, I think that's all their songs though. Safe from the Pain. That's a great song.
- [30:44]
A
I don't remember.
- [30:45]
B
I'm gonna listen to that as soon as I get in the car.
- [30:46]
A
You might have to, but.
- [30:49]
B
So you almost went down I go legit.
- [30:51]
A
Like I shut the water off, by the way. Five seconds.
- [30:55]
B
It took you five seconds?
- [30:56]
A
Five seconds. I went and I felt my heart rate and I was just like, yo, I'm gonna go down. And I just shut the. I shut the water off as quick as I could.
- [31:04]
B
Did you sit down? Like, yo, let me just.
- [31:05]
A
I stayed like breathing. Like, like, like.
- [31:09]
B
So do you have a newfound respect for people who co plan?
- [31:11]
A
No. They're still stupid. They're still dumb to me.
- [31:14]
B
I don't know.
- [31:15]
A
No, because like I, like, I've heard it all. I've heard the. Oh, like the brown fat, you know, and all that shit. Like. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about?
- [31:24]
B
Yeah.
- [31:24]
A
Not only have I still think they're dumb, I probably have less respect for them.
- [31:29]
B
Okay.
- [31:29]
A
But I secretly have a lot of respect for.
- [31:31]
B
I can tell.
- [31:32]
A
That's what, that's what the joke is here, right? Joke?
- [31:35]
B
The joke. Yeah. I've done it before and almost passed out the last time I went to the bath house. They have a freezing cold plunge, like a pool. And I was like, oh, let me try. Cuz I had never done a cold plunge before. That was the only time my life that I've done it. And I got in like up to here and I'm just like, how cold we talking? I believe it was 30, 40 or 39 degrees.
- [32:02]
A
The water. Yeah. Bad.
- [32:04]
B
It's very bad.
- [32:05]
A
It's bad.
- [32:05]
B
Yep.
- [32:06]
A
Okay.
- [32:06]
B
Way colder than the water that you.
- [32:08]
A
Were in is freezing.
- [32:09]
B
Right?
- [32:09]
A
I thought, I thought we were going Celsius here. I was just like, oh, so you.
- [32:12]
B
Thought I was in a hot tub?
- [32:14]
A
Yeah, I was just like, wait a sec, that's not that hot.
- [32:17]
B
No, it was, it was very cold. And I just like stood still and I was like. And like I couldn't breathe.
- [32:24]
A
Counting in German.
- [32:27]
B
Nine. Nine. No, then I was staring at the clock and then I. When I looking up made me dizzy, so I was like, I'm not gonna look up. And I was just standing there. And then eventually I had to walk out of steps to get out. And I was holding the pole and then once I got out, I was like, oh, I might go down.
- [32:46]
A
I think that's the closest I'll ever get to understanding like what the people in Titanic went through because can you imagine what was. How cold was that? I think they're saying they probably lost.
- [32:55]
B
A lot of brown fat in that.
- [32:57]
A
All of their life. A lot of them lost. Yeah, because of the hypothermia.
- [33:00]
B
Correct.
- [33:01]
A
You know, Jack, dude, Jack. Froze, dude.
- [33:03]
B
Yeah.
- [33:04]
A
You know, I will say, honestly, I'd.
- [33:06]
B
Probably rather be dead then. Like, I'm going to. I'm going to float on a fucking.
- [33:11]
A
Door and become a brick.
- [33:13]
B
I'm not. I'd rather be swimming with a fish.
- [33:16]
A
Yeah.
- [33:17]
B
At a certain point, this is probably not true, but, you know, when you go in a pool and then you go outside, like, oh, it's so cold. I'd rather stay in the water. Is the water. Is the water better than. Yeah, the water has to be better than being outside.
- [33:30]
A
I mean, I imagine the combination of the two. Not good.
- [33:35]
B
Yeah.
- [33:36]
A
You know, like, if they were dry on that door, she might have, like. I mean, she's. You know, we're also talking about a fictional movie.
- [33:42]
B
Right.
- [33:42]
A
She might have been good. But, like, the combination of being wet and then on that door.
- [33:48]
B
Right.
- [33:48]
A
Not a good combination.
- [33:50]
B
I would. I would imagine. I would imagine.
- [33:52]
A
I don't like that.
- [33:53]
B
How cold is the Arctic Ocean? It was the Arctic.
- [33:58]
A
Oh, no, no.
- [33:59]
B
The Atlantic is the Atlantic.
- [34:01]
A
If they were in the. Yeah, well, the.
- [34:03]
B
The Arctic. I tell you this right now. Very cold.
- [34:05]
A
Well, it was January, too, right? Wait, when did. Go look up? When the Titanic went down.
- [34:12]
B
Okay.
- [34:12]
A
When it dipped.
- [34:13]
B
How cold? How cold.
- [34:16]
A
Why are you walking now? How cold. How cold is the Atlantic?
- [34:21]
B
How cold is the water?
- [34:22]
A
Did you hear what I did? That was the worst.
- [34:26]
B
How cold was the. What? No, how cold was the water when the Titanic sank? Here we go.
- [34:34]
A
Oh, baby.
- [34:36]
B
28.
- [34:37]
A
How is it not icy cold? Oh, salt water, baby. That's right.
- [34:40]
B
But also, there was. I mean, there was a berg.
- [34:43]
A
Yeah.
- [34:43]
B
That they hit.
- [34:44]
A
It was like, it's salt water. So that's why it doesn't freeze over.
- [34:48]
B
I didn't even know that was true.
- [34:50]
A
Salt water doesn't freeze at the same temperature as regular water, baby.
- [34:54]
B
You know, this near freezing temperature would have led to rapid onset of hypothermia for anyone in the water.
- [34:59]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [35:00]
B
Impact on survival.
- [35:02]
A
That's why when people do those polar plunges, I'm just like, yo, you guys are crazy.
- [35:06]
B
I've done a polar plunge.
- [35:07]
A
Crazy.
- [35:07]
B
I did it when my brother lived in Long Beach. They do one on Super Bowl Sunday. So I went and did it. Hey, man, I jumped in that water and I came out. Look at me.
- [35:18]
A
White. Red. Yeah.
- [35:20]
B
My body immediately was, like, beet red.
- [35:22]
A
Well, it's funny because the way that the Earth is moving, if you believe certain scientists, polar plunges are, like, not, like, as bad because you'll go, the day the polar plunge. It'll be like 60 degrees out.
- [35:33]
B
Oh, yeah, maybe.
- [35:34]
A
That's crazy, though.
- [35:35]
B
28 degrees Fahrenheit, dude.
- [35:38]
A
Chilly.
- [35:38]
B
I would have not done well.
- [35:40]
A
Yeah, you probably would have died.
- [35:41]
B
I would have hated the Titanic. I would have hated being on the Titanic.
- [35:45]
A
Yeah, I imagine for a couple reasons, you would have hated it.
- [35:48]
B
Yeah. Yeah. How do you drive into a iceberg, bro? Like, be responsible.
- [35:52]
A
Well, no, that's the thing is there have been scientists that have come out and said, like, if they had hit the thing head on, there would have been damage to the hull, but they would have been able to complete the journey. But the fact that they tried to, like, maneuver away from the iceberg is what ended up doing them in.
- [36:08]
B
So basically they're like, like, don't be a.
- [36:10]
A
Don't be a dude. Like, hit that head on, dog.
- [36:14]
B
So it's kind of like when you see a deer, it's like, you'll speed up. Hit that.
- [36:17]
A
I've never heard that one.
- [36:18]
B
Yeah, they're like, you're supposed to speed up, really? Apparently.
- [36:22]
A
Oh, all right, cool.
- [36:23]
B
They're like. And I. I just. I wouldn't do that. Like, I would see a deer and I'm like, I would do anything but hit this deer.
- [36:29]
A
So, dude, speaking of Becca and I watched a movie, and I'm not gonna spoil it. Have you seen Juror number two?
- [36:35]
B
No.
- [36:35]
A
With Nicholas Holt? It's on Max, dude, watch it.
- [36:39]
B
It's good.
- [36:40]
A
It's really good.
- [36:41]
B
Does he kill a deer in it?
- [36:42]
A
Dreamy guy. No, no. Just watch the movie. Really dreamy dude. Yeah. You don't think so? He does look like a pinky with eyes on him. But, like, he's got like.
- [36:52]
B
He reminds me of Benedict Cumberbatch a little.
- [36:56]
A
And they both remind me of Gumby, which is not a bad thing. Yeah, Remember Gumby?
- [37:02]
B
Yeah, you know, so why are you saying dreamy?
- [37:05]
A
Because he's not. Like, he's got good eyes, good looking dude.
- [37:08]
B
Maybe. Maybe the show is making you attracted.
- [37:10]
A
To this man, but also directed by Clint Eastwood. How.
- [37:14]
B
How's that guy alive?
- [37:15]
A
How.
- [37:16]
B
How is Clint Eastwood alive?
- [37:17]
A
And like, this is the thing.
- [37:19]
B
He looks like a cigarette.
- [37:24]
A
Or. Or a worm from Men in Black.
- [37:27]
B
Legitimately a lizard was what I was gonna say.
- [37:29]
A
Yeah, he looks like those worms from Men in Black.
- [37:32]
B
And his face has looked old from the day he was born, too.
- [37:35]
A
Yeah, he's. He's looked at least 70 his whole life, but now he looks double.
- [37:40]
B
You ever think about that where it's like, yo, my entire life, our entire life, that's a long time. Yeah, we're, like, not super young.
- [37:48]
A
Snap of a finger for him.
- [37:49]
B
Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood, dude.
- [37:52]
A
Jack.
- [37:53]
B
Guys have fucking been old. Regis Phil. I mean, I know he's dead now.
- [37:56]
A
He's been gone.
- [37:57]
B
Regis Philbin, too. I was like, bro, this guy's been fucking old as fuck.
- [38:00]
A
Jack Nicholson. Jack knit.
- [38:02]
B
Well, he looks like. Oh, you know what Jack Nicholson looks like. There's a certain type of penguin that I don't know, but, you know the ones that kind of look like they have hair? It's a little blonde.
- [38:12]
A
Yeah, dude.
- [38:12]
B
They're all, like, kind of like they're big and fat and they're like.
- [38:14]
A
I know what you're. Because that movie surfs up where, like, John Cena's a penguin and surfs with penguins in the Bahamas or something, and.
- [38:23]
B
The surf is up. Yeah, yeah. And kind of like that's what he looks like to me. He does.
- [38:26]
A
He does a little bit, but, like, that always me up, because I'll. I'll be like, they had a whole career before I was even.
- [38:33]
B
Yeah.
- [38:33]
A
Born right. And then now they're just like who they are, you know? Yeah, Nicholson. He's probably it for him, this one.
- [38:40]
B
Who?
- [38:41]
A
Jack Nicholson.
- [38:41]
B
Oh, my God. Thread. He's hanging.
- [38:43]
A
He's up there, dude.
- [38:44]
B
Yeah, dude. Yeah. I mean, not only is he up there, but he's visually up there.
- [38:49]
A
Oh, I haven't seen him because I don't watch a lot of basketball.
- [38:52]
B
He.
- [38:53]
A
I feel like it sounds like he's.
- [38:56]
B
Playing in the game.
- [38:58]
A
I imagine that the most, like, recent photo of him has been at him in the Lakers game.
- [39:02]
B
Well, apparently he.
- [39:04]
A
Which also Trader bitch from Jersey.
- [39:07]
B
I typed in Jack Nicholas. Jack Nicklaus, who is still alive.
- [39:11]
A
What the. Yeah.
- [39:13]
B
How do you spell Jack?
- [39:15]
A
N, I, C, H. I got it.
- [39:16]
B
I got it. Big guy's 87.
- [39:21]
A
He's got maybe.
- [39:22]
B
You know what?
- [39:22]
A
Maybe. Maybe. You know what? Like, maybe.
- [39:25]
B
Finish the sentence before I flip out.
- [39:28]
A
Maybe, like, maybe four or five more years in him.
- [39:31]
B
Dude, he's born in 1937.
- [39:34]
A
Yeah, dude. Isn't that weird?
- [39:36]
B
I feel like that's when they invented the coin.
- [39:39]
A
Well, like, that's how far away that points were a little before that. But, like, he might have existed before. Like, sliced bread.
- [39:46]
B
When was sliced bread. When was sliced bread invented? 1928.
- [39:54]
A
Okay. Basically the same time.
- [39:58]
B
First of all, the person who invented sliced bread, their name is Otto Rohwetter. Here's the thing about back in the day.
- [40:08]
A
Go for it.
- [40:09]
B
People were named dumb shit.
- [40:11]
A
Mm.
- [40:12]
B
You Know. And not just their first names. Their last names were dumb.
- [40:15]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [40:16]
B
How did we get rid of. No one's named that.
- [40:18]
A
I hope not.
- [40:19]
B
No one is named that.
- [40:20]
A
I hope they aren't. And if they are, I hope that they get rid of the last name.
- [40:23]
B
And how do you invent something like sliced bread and your family just isn't well known?
- [40:27]
A
Here's the thing that. And this is a legit question. How the fuck did someone not think of sliced bread before him?
- [40:33]
B
I think they just were just like. Just rip.
- [40:36]
A
It would like. I. There is. I will say ripping bread is way cooler than slicing bread. You know, just being like, yo, you want. Like, when we did that? Shoot, I don't want to say where, when, but keep your eyes out.
- [40:47]
B
We did.
- [40:47]
A
We were ripping some bread.
- [40:49]
B
Like, ripping bread.
- [40:50]
A
I like it. Because then you wipe it and you're a big food wiper. We know that about you.
- [40:54]
B
Yeah, I like wiping it.
- [40:56]
A
I know. Remember all those times you said that you didn't and you tried gaslighting me?
- [40:59]
B
No. You made up a story that for some reason you believe.
- [41:03]
A
And I'm willing to say I didn't make it up. I remember as. I remember so clearly, you putting duck sauce on a plate and wiping chip chicken through it. I remember. I remember.
- [41:13]
B
Wait, Wiping. What do you. Wait, that's not the story that I remember.
- [41:16]
A
What do you.
- [41:16]
B
Wait, what are you talking about? Wiping chicken? You talking about dipping chicken?
- [41:19]
A
Yeah, but you. You wouldn't just dip. You would put.
- [41:22]
B
Because it's flat on a plate.
- [41:24]
A
Criminal. You put dips in something round and deep, whether it be a shot glass.
- [41:30]
B
In a. Frankie, what you eat at home. And if you have a side, like a thing of ketchup, you put it in a shot glass.
- [41:38]
A
Yes, if I need to. Because here's the.
- [41:39]
B
What do you think that's.
- [41:40]
A
Here's the laws of sauces. The laws of sauces losses if you don't have the proper container to dip, or a lot of sauces now will come in dippable containers that you can just toss out.
- [41:52]
B
Frank, I didn't.
- [41:53]
A
You drizzle on top. No, Those are the rules. Yes, bitch. Yes, bitch.
- [41:58]
B
No. I put my sauce on the side. And then after a while. Because if, like, it, like, spreads.
- [42:02]
A
Criminal. Exactly. That's what happens then. That's why. That's why you were wipe Master General with your food. That's why it was so stupid.
- [42:09]
B
People. What People dip that way.
- [42:11]
A
It's stupid. I'm telling you.
- [42:13]
B
They do, but I know it's Dumb, judgmental.
- [42:17]
A
Yep. Bitch.
- [42:21]
B
That hit so perfectly.
- [42:22]
A
It's a really good. That was a really good.
- [42:25]
B
Nothing's better than A. That hits really hard.
- [42:27]
A
A well placed is so great.
- [42:29]
B
Yeah.
- [42:30]
A
So great. Go get to these. I know when you could just be.
- [42:33]
B
When the B comes out.
- [42:34]
A
So good. Yes. That was bad.
- [42:36]
B
See, the last one was good.
- [42:37]
A
Well, the B needs to pop a little.
- [42:38]
B
Yeah.
- [42:39]
A
You know.
- [42:39]
B
Yeah.
- [42:40]
A
Like. Like a real good.
- [42:41]
B
Like. Like a Harry Potter.
- [42:43]
A
You want to get racist like Malfoy, don't you? He. He was dropping hard P's. Yeah.
- [42:51]
B
And his dad.
- [42:52]
A
Forget about it. Yeah, we're almost. Me and Miles are almost done with our rewatch. We're on the very, very last movie.
- [42:57]
B
Yeah. His dad, who looks like his mom from behind.
- [43:00]
A
Yo, I'm gonna say something crazy here.
- [43:03]
B
Is this gonna piss me off?
- [43:05]
A
Maybe get to the ads first.
- [43:06]
B
Okay.
- [43:08]
A
Okay.
- [43:09]
B

- [46:45]
A
So I was talking to our buddy Scott recently, and we were talking about Harry Potter and all that Hogwarts Legacy, the game, which I haven't finished. I'm actually gonna go back and read.
- [46:56]
B
Like there's a new one coming, right?
- [46:57]
A
I think they said that they're gonna make the second one, but there's been a bunch of, like, weird stuff about, like, when it's actually coming. Okay, but he said. And this is not. He said that he prefers Slytherin over Gryffindor. And I was like, you. So you prefer that kid's an. Thank you so much, God damn it.
- [47:15]
B
Piece of.
- [47:16]
A
Yeah, like, you prefer, like, just be like you. What.
- [47:19]
B
What about it is cool.
- [47:21]
A
Well, the green and black. What was wrong with the color scheme, dude? Yeah, you got those two guys.
- [47:28]
B
Their name are, like, Barf and Grogo. What was the name?
- [47:30]
A
Crab and Goyle. Crab and Go. That sucks. Barf and Gargoyle. Yeah.
- [47:35]
B
Yeah, that's confusing that with Spaceballs. But his name is Barf. But yeah, like, what the. Is cool.
- [47:41]
A
And he's just like, he's got. And then he was just like, also, Malfoy's the coolest. I was like, bro, get the out of here.
- [47:46]
B
Malfoy is a fucking dwee.
- [47:47]
A
He's a little bitch.
- [47:48]
B
Malfoy would be cooler if he was just like, an asshole through the whole thing, but he turns into a puss.
- [47:53]
A
And here's why he said this, because he named his character in Hogwarts Legacy.
- [48:00]
B
Oh, let me mean. Mean guy 129.
- [48:03]
A
What is it, Scott Malfoy. Scott, what are you doing? And I'm like. I was like, that's like naming yourself Eva Braun. You know what I mean?
- [48:16]
B
What are we doing here?
- [48:17]
A
You remember Eva Braun, obviously.
- [48:18]
B
I don't know.
- [48:19]
A
She was the girlfriend to Hitler. And he goes, not. Don't disrespect Draco. He goes, slytherins were the flyest.
- [48:26]
B
Yo, Scott Malfoy.
- [48:28]
A
That's insane, dude.
- [48:29]
B
That I. I'm trying to, like, I don't even know. That's an insane thing.
- [48:37]
A
Just like, Gryffindor's. Cool it. And like, people are gonna say, well, like, well, if you go on Pottermore and, like, you get your. Like, you get sorted by the hat, bro. Gryffindors, first of all, cool animal, lions, you know, color scheme, Harry Potter. Yeah, Ron, Weasley Coolest robes easily.
- [48:59]
B
Also, Slytherin's like, third. I would say Hufflepuff sucks.
- [49:03]
A
Yeah. Hufflepuffers.
- [49:04]
B
Yo.
- [49:05]
A
Ravenclaw. The name is so sick. Ravenco.
- [49:09]
B
Yeah. I love that. What color are they?
- [49:12]
A
Purple.
- [49:12]
B
Like that. And that's your favorite color?
- [49:14]
A
Yeah.
- [49:22]
B
I'll tell you this right now. When I played the Harry Potter video game and the sorting hat went on my head, I'm like, if this isn't Gryffindor, I'm gonna cut my own head off. And if it puts me in Hufflepuff, I'm gonna cut my head off, and I'm gonna step on it with the last.
- [49:34]
A
I'll be honest with you. I'll be honest. Because so if you don't get placed in the proper house, you can ask to move, right? Like in the game. They put me in Ravenclaw. The hardest switch, dude. The hardest switch.
- [49:45]
B
I want to go back and play that game now.
- [49:47]
A
Go. Go do it. Go and do it.
- [49:48]
B
I'll just get on a hippo.
- [49:49]
A
Griffin. Be like, love that game.
- [49:52]
B
Yeah.
- [49:53]
A
But I couldn't believe when he was just like, slytherin's got the most drip. I think he was just going off the color scheme, which, don't get me wrong, I like the color green. Purple. If we're going off color, Scream. What? If we're going off color scheme, Ravenclaw is the coolest.
- [50:06]
B
Yeah.
- [50:06]
A
Yeah.
- [50:07]
B
River calls. Cool.
- [50:08]
A
But we could all agree across the board. I'm sorry if there are any Pottermore nerds out there. Hufflepuff sucks.
- [50:14]
B
Sucks.
- [50:15]
A
And your founder's name was Helga.
- [50:17]
B
Ugh.
- [50:18]
A
Ravonna.
- [50:19]
B
What's that?
- [50:20]
A
Ravonna Ravenclaw.
- [50:21]
B
Oh, yeah. Yeah, That's a. Yo, that's a sexy name.
- [50:24]
A
Hell, yeah.
- [50:25]
B
Ravonna.
- [50:26]
A
Yeah. And even Gryffindor's name. Godric.
- [50:30]
B
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
- [50:31]
A
You know, his.
- [50:32]
B
Yo, his nick's name is God, bro.
- [50:34]
A
Or Rick.
- [50:36]
B
That's so less cool than God. Frank or Rick have the option to have the nickname God or Rick, and you go with the name that sounds like you work in an office. Like a. Just an office space.
- [50:51]
A
I think that speaks to who me and you are internally. But you're Rick and you think you're God.
- [50:58]
B
I don't think I'm God.
- [51:00]
A
My name's God. People could call me God. No, call me God, everyone. Oh. Or it's so sick. People can call me God.
- [51:11]
B
Your name's Godric, and you're like, just call me Rick. All right, dude.
- [51:18]
A
Or Godrick. Just call me my full name. You don't need to, you know. Yeah, but full names are losers. Remember all those losers we knew that grew up on Long island that would just be like. Anytime they talk about someone, they'd be like, oh, that's Stephanie Miller. It's like, oh, yeah, the name.
- [51:33]
B
They do that.
- [51:34]
A
Stephie. Little Steph.
- [51:36]
B
Yeah, I. Well, I'm trying to think of if we know anyone who goes by their full name. I don't know anyone who goes by their full name.
- [51:45]
A
I mean, Greg, whenever he walks into Greg, says he's like, I am Gregory Dybeck.
- [51:50]
B
Yeah. Oh, no. Greg's a nickname. Yeah.
- [51:52]
A
Yeah. But he. He. He reminds us, like, whenever he talks. Because a lot of people don't know this about Greg. He speaks in the third person. So, like, we'll be like, yo, like, anyone hungry? And he'll say. He'll be like, greg Gregory Diebeck. He'll say, gregory Diebeck wants some white rice.
- [52:06]
B
Gregory. Also, Gregory Dieback left a bunch of little snacks in my backseat, which I just found today. I looked behind me, and there's a little packet of cashews, and there's another little packet of crushed pretzels.
- [52:23]
A
Yeah. He also left me garbage in my back seat the last time he was there. He's very garbage, leaving eight sunflower seeds and just spit the shells on the seat.
- [52:32]
B
No, he didn't, bro.
- [52:33]
A
There was shells everywhere where he was sitting.
- [52:35]
B
What a pig.
- [52:36]
A
What a fucking pig.
- [52:38]
B
Yeah. And honestly, it's really weird. I don't know if you guys have friends like this, but Greg legitimately can't go anywhere without having. You would think it's medical. It isn't. It's just psychopathy. He probs.
- [52:50]
A
It's.
- [52:51]
B
Honestly, he always has little snacks on him, dude. And it's like a bird.
- [52:54]
A
He's like a bird is like a bird. And, like, they're not, like, snacks that would get someone to, like, a satisfied level of hunger. It's just like a little like.
- [53:02]
B
Yeah, like. And that's the thing, too. So if he eats cashews, he's usually eating them with both hands. And he's like. And he did. He takes it.
- [53:12]
A
And he'll literally be like this. He'll be like.
- [53:18]
B
It's like, yo, bro, it's just a pretzel, my guy.
- [53:21]
A
Fucking raccoon or something. He eats. Greg eats like, a raccoon. No dairy. Little. Little claws.
- [53:28]
B
Yeah.
- [53:28]
A
And he speaks in the third.
- [53:29]
B
But instead of eating garbage, he leaves it in your backseat.
- [53:32]
A
Yes.
- [53:32]
B
That is correct. So, yeah, that's our friend Gregory the raccoon.
- [53:37]
A
2025 is gonna be the year we expose Greg for the fucking raccoon he is.
- [53:41]
B
Stop talking about the year. I'm over it.
- [53:42]
A
No, 25. So you don't understand, Joey. Here's what you don't understand. Tell me you don't understand that 2025, whether it be, you know, like the pat. The reason that people like doing that toward the beginning of the year is because it is a passing of the torch from your former self to your future self, whom you've wanted to be and who you are currently trying to become.
- [54:04]
B
Can I say I am shocked that you subscribe to that?
- [54:07]
A
I. I don't subscribe to it as much like I. But I. I am aware that people use it as kind of like a spiritual, like, restart, and I respect it because I respect people.
- [54:18]
B
So do you or do you not?
- [54:19]
A
You wanted to be called God.
- [54:20]
B
No, I didn't. Yeah, he's.
- [54:22]
A
See, no, I'm saying I. I am not. Although I don't subscribe to that. I understand you just said, let them do it. So I let them do it. Those filth.
- [54:31]
B
If you don't.
- [54:32]
A
If you. If you dirty raccoons that eat with both hands.
- [54:35]
B
If you.
- [54:36]
A
If you.
- [54:36]
B
You don't subscribe to it and I don't, then we're on the same team. And then you're telling me, here's what you don't understand because I. But you don't even subscribe to it.
- [54:43]
A
You know why? You know why?
- [54:44]
B
No opinions.
- [54:52]
A
We flipped. I don't know why that we have flipped. I don't know why that.
- [54:56]
B
I'm leading.
- [54:57]
A
I'm leading.
- [54:57]
B
You know why?
- [54:58]
A
You know why I'm leading? 2025 with love. You keep saying, but I haven't seen it. Love and joy and happiness. Just not for Slytherin. Not for Slytherin.
- [55:11]
B
Scott Malfoy. What, dude? Use a condom. Just be safe when you're fucking. Fucking Draco. All right. Jeez. Scott Malfoy.
- [55:20]
A
Boy, do I have a fun text message going out. As soon as this is episode, just let him know, like, hey, we might have talked about you a little bit. God. It's all right. It's okay.
- [55:32]
B
Yeah, I mean, that would be like Joe Potter, which is nuts.
- [55:36]
A
Yeah.
- [55:36]
B
Which I would say, Scott, I'll do you a favor here, Scott Malfoy. Although it's probably a little worse. It's not that much worse than me just making my name Josegato.
- [55:48]
A
Yeah, I remember my Guy was your name? My guy's name was like Frank something. Like it was a fun, whimsical name. Not Joe Santagata.
- [55:57]
B
Oh, you were like Frank Twisters.
- [56:00]
A
Whoa.
- [56:01]
B
Not really good. Off the top of my head.
- [56:03]
A
2025. A hot start for Joe.
- [56:05]
B
No, it was like a wizard's name.
- [56:07]
A
It was like jingleforth or something. Like something like Franklin Jingle forth. Something whimsical and fun. Yeah, and my guy was hot.
- [56:15]
B
He had cool stuff.
- [56:16]
A
Just. I want to show you a picture because I recently sent this. You.
- [56:19]
B
You have a picture of your Harry Potter character on yours. Like handy.
- [56:24]
A
It's good looking. Dude, come on. You're going to tell me this guy doesn't got the drip? Look at that baby. What do you think? You know what's funny? To think I like my outfits drippy bro.
- [56:47]
B
That was. I'm still digesting what you just said.
- [56:52]
A
Dude, that was really bad.
- [56:54]
B
What's going on?
- [56:58]
A
You want to try that? Say it again.
- [57:00]
B
Say it again and we won't laugh. Say it again. Say it in a straight face and I'm not gonna laugh.
- [57:03]
A
Go.
- [57:06]
B
Well, you got. You gotta stop laughing. Okay, go.
- [57:08]
A
I'm not laughing.
- [57:09]
B
Me neither.
- [57:10]
A
I like my outfits drippy bruh. I'm hip. I'm. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. In lockstep with what the kids are laughing about nowadays.
- [57:27]
B
What is that?
- [57:27]
A
You know, lock step.
- [57:29]
B
What's lockstep?
- [57:30]
A
You know, when you're. When you're like, you're with them, you're walking together. That's how I walk. Hey. Hey, kids.
- [57:39]
B
So, wow.
- [57:40]
A
Like we're in high school music.
- [57:41]
B
I like my outfits drippy bruh.
- [57:43]
A
We should end there, right?
- [57:45]
B
No, no, I think that we should bury that a little bit. If anything. I like my office drippy bro. How much time, be honest, did you spend on your Harry Potter characters outfit? Yep. All the time.
- [57:57]
A
All the time. Because you can get really cool. Here's the thing. The cool gear that you could get.
- [58:02]
B
You got it.
- [58:03]
A
It looks stupid. So, like, what you could do, as I figured out, is that you can put. You can like equip the cool gear that gives you all the buffs, but you can make it look like nothing. Something else.
- [58:11]
B
Frank. I did that. Yeah, Yeah.
- [58:14]
A
I got like, you know, like the legendary, mythical Godric Gryffindor hat and Ravonna Ravenclaw's high heels. Don't ask me why my guy's in high heels. Maybe it's just something that he wants to do, you know? But I'm like, all right, you know, but you.
- [58:28]
B
You make it just like black boots, though. Make it look chill.
- [58:30]
A
Hell yeah.
- [58:31]
B
Be like, yo, this gives me plus 13 health.
- [58:34]
A
Hell yeah.
- [58:34]
B
But they just look like black boots.
- [58:36]
A
Hell yeah.
- [58:36]
B
Yeah.
- [58:37]
A
You know, I might. You know what? I'm gonna. I'm gonna restart that game as soon as I'm done. I'm still on my COD wave right now.
- [58:43]
B
Yeah, I want to. I want to get back into that. But isn't it funny how, like, I'm picturing some, like, dude being like, oh, don't play with dolls. Like, accessorize. Accessorizing dolls is fucking gay. And like, whatever. But then you get on Harry Potter and you're like, I hope I have a nice cape.
- [59:00]
A
Yeah. Yep. You know? Yeah.
- [59:02]
B
Which is exactly what I did.
- [59:03]
A
That's what I'm saying.
- [59:04]
B
Need a really nice cape.
- [59:06]
A
Good capes. 2025 is the year of just exposing the hypocrisy of that, you know, classification of people that think that it's like, not cool to collect toys or drink a lot of tea.
- [59:16]
B
Mmm. Yeah. You're the perfect mascot to be defending that.
- [59:21]
A
Thank you. Yeah.
- [59:23]
B
What?
- [59:24]
A
Thank you.
- [59:25]
B
I wonder how much crossover there is between people who love tea and people who love collecting toys.
- [59:30]
A
There's probably a lot of the world may never know.
- [59:34]
B
Could just ask Chat GPT, which I've been heavy on asking things.
- [59:38]
A
Well, maybe don't ask artificial intelligence because it could not be accurate sometimes, you know, maybe just do your own research, Joe.
- [59:45]
B
I'd just be typing it into Google, which was technically.
- [59:47]
A
Also find peer reviewed articles. You know, there's peer reviewed articles about t. Metadata searches and stuff like that. Metadata searches really understand the, you know, quantitative way that they were able to decipher this data and, you know, apply it to real life. Make sure that this study was done with a well represented group of members of the society, stuff like that.
- [60:09]
B
Oh, society again. That was about the 14th Society. You dropped this episode. I appreciate you being.
- [60:13]
A
I have already explained. I'm. I'm leading 2025 with love. You seem like you have a lot of animosity today.
- [60:19]
B
You called me a earlier and I gave you a back.
- [60:22]
A
You gave me a. You gave me the hardest bitch anyone's ever given. I bitched me hard.
- [60:25]
B
I wasn't planning on bitching that hard, but it. I didn't. I don't regret it.
- [60:29]
A
Because it was a good one. Don't regret it. I'm allowing you to not regret that one. All right.
- [60:34]
B
Anyway, that's all for this week's. Episode. Sorry, folks. Frank, where can they find you?
- [60:40]
A
Hogwarts Legacy? Gryffindor common room.
- [60:43]
B
Look up Frank. Jingle Bust.
- [60:46]
A
I'll have to, like, look up my name, but it was whimsical. Yeah, it was fun, but yeah. And then you go find me elsewhere. Go to the Patreon. Patreon.com basemanyard thanks. Love you guys. 20, 25. Let's. Let's rock and roll, baby.
- [60:59]
B
