Joey
Welcome back to the basement yard welcome back to the basement yard Frank.
Frank
How you doing, baby?
Joey
I'm doing great.
Frank
How are you? Do you prefer baby over bitch?
Joey
Yeah, I think anyone would.
Frank
Well, some people don't like baby. Baby makes them feel a little uncomfortable.
Joey
What do you mean, some people don't like baby?
Frank
Love that jacket you got going on there, by the way. Absolutely love it, Love it. Just. The colors are great.
Joey
I love a good inside pocket because then people think you have a gun.
Frank
Nothing is cooler than when I'm wearing a suit and I put money in there, bro. Dude, it makes me feel so. Hey, welcome back, by the way, guys.
Joey
Hey, yo. At weddings, when you have, like, the.
Frank
Card and you pull it out and he's like, this is for you.
Joey
Yeah, but have you ever. Have you ever. Giving anyone anything from my jacket pocket is the coolest thing.
Frank
Really cool.
Joey
It's better than smoking cigarettes, which is cool. Oh, not actually.
Frank
No. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't look it. Don't do it.
Joey
Yeah, but like, at wedding, sometimes the car I got is too wide, and it doesn't. It's so fucking.
Frank
I hate that. Listen, as a former cigar smoker, it's.
Joey
You gave it up your retire, cold turkey.
Frank
I think I'm done, baby. You're cold turkey, I'm gone. Yeah. I got nothing like my Turkey, because I got no reason to right now. I just.
Joey
What was the reason before?
Frank
Enjoying it.
Joey
I just don't.
Frank
I don't know, maybe if the time was right, but, like, right now, I'm in a place of just, like, I don't need it. I'm trying to not die. But whipping out a cigar and then whipping out a Zippo lighter out of one of those bitches and just being like, zippo lighter, dude. What a great role. Lighters, lighters, all of them. Like, there's some metal ones.
Joey
Metal lighter.
Frank
Oh, yeah. Like Bix.
Joey
Yeah. Like, I'm not.
Frank
Listen, no offense to Bix, but why pens and lighters? Like, why is that.
Joey
That's very confusing.
Frank
Like, but, dude, there's some. There's like, this, like, lighter account on TikTok. And it's like this French guy and he finds a bunch of old lighters, and he's like, this is from the Japan, you know, Forgive the French. It's okay accent. Oh.
Joey
So he has all these old lighters as you refurbish them, dude.
Frank
And he, like, gets my word.
Joey
Refurbish, refurbish. Like, you make them new again.
Frank
But what is so then if fudgeing something up is furbishing it. Yes.
Joey
Don't.
Frank
Don't look it up.
Joey
No, but I love when people get. I mean, we've talked about this, too, because there's. That one Irish guy was like, oh, I've got to bring this thing back.
Frank
Oh, the wood.
Joey
Yeah, yeah.
Frank
It's like woodworking.
Joey
I've seen him, like, make a machete look really nice and shiny again. That's fun.
Frank
Have you ever seen the ones where they put the machetes in, like, the tub and then they shock it to get all the fucking rust off of it?
Joey
No.
Frank
What you've never seen.
Joey
I do like that, though, because sometimes they do that with, like, watches or, like, jewelry. What is going on in this little tub?
Frank
It's a little horny. What is it?
Joey
Is it.
Frank
I'm sure. So, like, it's like a. Yeah. I don't know.
Joey
Or it just shakes it. It just shakes it.
Frank
I don't think the shaking is the thing that's cleaning it. I think it's probably the chemicals that are in it. Oh, but.
Joey
So I can't, like, put my finger in there. Like, if I had a dirty hand, I can't. Like.
Frank
That's a great question. I don't know. I don't think we should look it up, because how would we even look that up?
Joey
Would you get in a. Like, a shaky tub, like, knock the dirt off of you?
Frank
I don't. There's something, the way you said that that seems a little like, double entendre, and I don't like it.
Joey
What does that mean?
Frank
Like, to me.
Joey
I know what a double entendre.
Frank
Dirt off me. My. My dust has been knocked off. See, now I fucked it up. But I said it.
Joey
So now you do get dusty.
Frank
We're all a little dusty, definitely. But so this guy. It's like old lighters, and some of them are just like. It looks like a little clam. And then you open the clam and it's just bang. Like a fucking flame.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
And it's so sick. Dude.
Joey
You know what's cool? Yeah. I don't really. I mean, I don't know. I don't know if I love torches.
Frank
I love my torch. My dad. My dad. Yeah.
Joey
Like, no, no. What?
Frank
My. My dad always had. Because my dad gave up smoking cigarettes to smoke. The better option, which is black and mild.
Joey
Right.
Frank
And he would light it with a plumber's torch, which is the fucking torch with the giant propane canister underneath. Yeah. And he would light it like this.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
And that thing was fucking wild. Yeah.
Joey
He doesn't have eyebrows anymore because of that. That's an insane thing to be lighting that with, by the way.
Frank
I mean, it's my father. Does anything surprise you?
Joey
It is true.
Frank
Were your parents smokers?
Joey
No. I mean, one time my dad like never smoke. I don't think he's ever smoked in his life.
Frank
Really.
Joey
I've never seen him smoke. And I remember them saying, oh my God.
Frank
I can only imagine you asking him, dad, have you ever smoked? Oh yeah. He would be so offended.
Joey
We have gotten like it out of. My mom has been like, mom used to smoke weed. And then she's like, I. And I'm like, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Frank
You got her, you fucking pothead.
Joey
420. That's a three.
Frank
But.
Joey
But yeah, so I think my mom like smoked a little. A little bit of the grass. The devil's lettuce.
Frank
Well, you definitely shouldn't say that. There's definitely better ways to say that.
Joey
Devil's lettuce.
Frank
Yeah. Cuz weren't it was. I think like all those like old timey terms for weed were kind of like a little insensitive toward people. The devil? Well, yeah, because they was like a popular thing to smoke by black men and women. So like the white people are just like, you know, you know how they be.
Joey
But what I thought the devil's lettuce was like, because it's a drug also, like drugs.
Frank
There's another word for. I don't want to say because it's, it's kind of mean, but like it has to do with a type of music. And then they call it the music cigarette.
Joey
I've never heard really in my life.
Frank
You ever heard that.
Joey
You're so tapped into, like.
Frank
Yeah, man, but backtracking a little bit again, you know, I'm not a, I'm not a cigarette smoker, but if you pulled out of your jacket those like old timey metal things that like held cigarettes.
Joey
Yeah, but they're, they're hand rolled and they're like made them earlier.
Frank
They're like, yeah, they're like. You bought the tobacco at the store.
Joey
See, I would do that.
Frank
Really? I mean, it's still bad. It's. It's still bad tobacco. Duh.
Joey
That's not why I'm saying I would do it. I would do it because it's just cool or honestly hate this aesthetic. But there is something about a rolled up cigarette pack in your, in your sleeve.
Frank
Oh, like you're fucking Johnny from the fucking Greasers.
Joey
Yeah, exactly.
Frank
When we were kids at like when I would do like Cub Scouts, my sister and I. What, you did Cub Scouts? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did Cub Scouts.
Joey
Do you have badges, bro? How did I not know you're a Cub Scout?
Frank
I was a Cub Scout. I don't think I could. How long did you cub? I think there, I think that means something else. But it was at St. Francis. It wasn't very long, but I. I remember my parents, we used to dress. They used to dress me as fucking Danny Zuko from Greece. And my dad used to put an empty pack of Marlboro Reds in my T shirt as like a five year old.
Joey
Wait, I thought Cub Scouts wear uniforms.
Frank
But like they had like. You had to make like those cars. You never saw those where like you have to like woodwork a car and like win a race. My dad put so many quarters in that thing.
Joey
You strike me as a Cub Scout.
Ant
No, no.
Joey
Eagle Scout.
Ant
No. That's better.
Frank
Well, I think you need to go from one to the other. You can't be an Eagle Scout if you don't stop as I start as a cub hierarchy. I stopped at Cub. I was done. I think. You didn't pub.
Ant
I didn't cub.
Joey
Did you do anything like that though? Were you part of club?
Frank
I did. I will say I did go camping with some Boy scouts once and it was an experience.
Joey
Were you a boy scout?
Frank
No.
Joey
Are you an adult? Because the way you said that was like I went camping with some boy scout.
Frank
I was in middle school and some of the kids that I went to school with were like. You remember some of them? Yeah, they were boy scouts. And like we went for like two nights and it was just like. Where. I don't remember where. It was somewhere in New York. But like it wasn't like anything intense. It was one of those like. You ever see those tiktoks of that guy that's like in the wilderness and there's like a shack that's like four campers. The guy with the guy that's just like. So we're going to be digging out.
Joey
Is that the guy with the glasses?
Frank
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joey
I love that guy.
Frank
I will kill for him. We watched one of his videos when we were in Vancouver.
Joey
We did.
Frank
We threw it on the TV. This dude gets like 28 million fucking watches a month.
Joey
He, he's like, look at this. And then he, he takes a stick out and he's like 14 foot snow. I'm like, dude, get off of that. Yeah, like it's dangerous.
Frank
My guy, I love. I forget what his. I think it's, like, brave wilderness or some shit like that.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
But he's like, so today we're gonna be like, I. I brought this homemade bread, and it's just dough in a bag. Yeah. And he's like. And I got this honey butter, and he's just scooping charred bread that he made over the fire into honey butter. All about it.
Joey
There's a TikTok account that I. There's a couple of them, but there's one in particular that I don't remember the name, but it's this dude who has the sharpest knife in the world.
Frank
Is it the obsidian knife? What is that? Star Wars?
Joey
You finish Sword from Zelda. What is that?
Frank
Do you want me to go off about the sword? I'm sorry.
Joey
I brought up.
Frank
Because there's the skyward sword. There's. All right, go. Go ahead.
Joey
No, but this guy, he, like, goes out into nature, and he'll find a piece of wood or something, and then there's, like, a river. So he'll, like, grab a. He'll get a fish, and then, like, he'll scale the fish, and then he'll make a fire out of, like, a stump and something else, and then he'll create a fire. And then he's got, like, like, bread, and then he's got, like, a piece of meat.
Frank
And then he's got. Oh, oh, oh.
Joey
He's.
Frank
He's making.
Joey
He's.
Frank
What are you doing?
Joey
And then he's, like, slicing tomatoes. Thin, Thin tomatoes. And he's got that giant fat knife, and they're. See, through the. The. The. The tomatoes are so thin that you.
Frank
Could see through them.
Joey
It's unbelievable.
Frank
And he, like, takes a big, like, rock and he wets it and cleans it in the river, and then he just, like, puts it all. And he cooks a steak on this fucking.
Joey
And then he's got the steak, and then he takes it like a piece of rosemary or just like, a piece of leaf. And then he, like, dips that in olive oil, and he goes like this. And I'm like, dude, this guy's not.
Frank
Worried about diseases at all. And he throws an onion in the air, and he catches it on his knife. God, whatever this big knife guy is, you love your knife, and I love your skills.
Joey
I love your knife and skills as well.
Frank
Those are the best, dude.
Joey
When he throws the onion and then catches it, and then he turns it over, and then he starts going, shun, shun, shun, shun, I'm like, fucking.
Frank
Oh, it's so good. You know why I like it? Because I know I could never do it, dude.
Joey
And then when he slices, like, rosemary.
Frank
Like, extra thin, and he's like, well, rosemary. Rosemary is a. It's like a leaf.
Joey
Well, I know he, like, scrapes it off, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Frank
Oh, and he has, like, parsley and.
Joey
He, like, shaves it and he's like, oh.
Frank
It's like, oh, my bro.
Joey
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Frank
Like, he has, like, a mortar and pestle and he puts, like, peppercorns in it. And he's like, the dude dude.
Joey
And shark. And then he. And then he. Yeah. Yo, bro. Oh, my God. People, like, go the extra mile.
Frank
Yeah. Yeah.
Joey
And it's like, yo, there's salt and pepper. It's everywhere. You're like, I'm gonna make it.
Frank
I. I could see you in a couple years after making it. Said and Done. Joey's gonna be one of those. He's gonna be it. And I'm proud of you. I know, but, like, the prospect of you doing it, I'm proud of you.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
I would love for, like, a Patreon video.
Joey
Do you know the Canadian one?
Frank
Go ahead.
Joey
Do you know the Canadian guy?
Frank
Which Canadian guy?
Joey
There's a Canadian guy that does this. Buddies.
Frank
Hello, buddy.
Joey
You never seen that?
Frank
Have you ever seen. Bro, There's.
Joey
Don't skip over this.
Frank
You skipped over me. The skipping continued on your side.
Joey
I was afraid that you were going to go off of these tik toks.
Frank
He.
Joey
It's like a little cabin, and he's got a big.
Frank
He's got a.
Joey
He's got, like, stash. And he goes, hello, buddy. And then he. He makes a thing. It's like a tea that he makes and a little meal. And then he sits down at the end of it. He's in this cabin with a tiny tv. He's playing, like, Duck Hunter, bro.
Frank
You mean Duck Hunt.
Joey
But I do mean Duck Hunt.
Frank
You mean Duck Hunt. Awesome. Yeah. Unbelievable. And then. So the guy was gonna bring up before I forgot who he is. As if I would. His name would matter.
Joey
I don't know.
Frank
He, like, makes, like, ancient tools and he's, like, so funny.
Joey
We're so deep in. This is so niche now. He's like, there's a guy who makes ancient tools.
Frank
He has, like, a piece of, like, cowhide on his leg, and he holds, like, a piece of obsidian. And he takes a rock and what's obsidian? Obsidian is like super cooled lava that becomes glass and like a lot of like ancient. I was gonna say companies. No, ancient cultures. And what's it. Civilizations would make tools out of this because when it. It breaks so thin and it's like 30 times sharper than a scalpel. And you don't need to sharpen it because the more it breaks, it just breaks thinner and thinner. Oh, so like old swords. Look up old obsidian swords. Look that up right now. Old obsidian swords.
Joey
Do they sell this? Let's get a sword.
Frank
Let's get a sword in here. Old obsidian swords. Look at this. That's what I'm talking about.
Joey
Oh, they put them on like paddles.
Frank
And they were like the ancient man. I feel bad that I won't be able to understand like correctly.
Ant
Aztec.
Frank
Aztec. Okay. And they would like sh. But then they'd catch them and then rip it and it would just their up.
Joey
Damn, dude. I'm. I'm not on. I'm not on. Ancient tool making Tick.
Frank
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he like, he like holds it.
Joey
Oh, those obsidian.
Ant
I was trying to look for prices, but yeah, then these buffed up.
Frank
But like if he like takes it and he's like bang. And he hits it with a rock and it like poke it like come. It cuts off. Yeah.
Joey
Tick Tock's got some great stuff. You know, honestly, I'm kind of sick of people like real world talking like let's. Let's see some skills.
Frank
You know, I think what we do is very skilled making obsidian swords. I mean you wouldn't see them going and selling out Radio City. What are they gonna do?
Joey
I would buy a ticket to that if there was a.
Frank
Hold on.
Joey
If I could go to a show where they just. Where a guy's gonna. Oh, you know you go to like a paint and sip and you're like haha. Like if someone's like yeah, we're making ancient fucking swords in here and we're gonna drink some wine. That's probably a little too dangerous.
Frank
Shut up. What if it's. You know how they would do like the old timey, like people watching surgeries and like the theater in the round.
Joey
I think they still do that.
Frank
Yeah. I mean, weird now that we do that. Like we could.
Joey
It's for students.
Frank
I know, but still stupid. Like if they think the students should.
Joey
Learn how to do surgery, they could be in the room.
Frank
They don't need to be watching it like a fucking vulture. How you gonna get out?
Joey
You're not.
Frank
Can I sit with you and watch. Yeah, done. You don't need to fucking have it in a pod where people watch you like. It's a lion's den. I think that's actually what they call it. Or maybe that was a wrestling match, Frank. They have to the body 10 Shamrock and Steve Blackman.
Joey
Those are wrestlers.
Frank
They were. But.
Joey
Yeah, I don't either. I have no idea where.
Frank
Now you're. You've offended me.
Joey
The thing.
Frank
But if they did that. But, like, in there, they're not doing surgery. They're just, like, shaping wood into a canoe. Yeah, just like woodworking. There's that guy. Remember that guy who went viral years ago on Twitch? He's. I think he's from New Zealand or from Australia. And. And he's just a. Just a big, happy dude. And he's just like, all right, we're gonna make. You know, we're gonna make a paddle today, you know, and he's just like, start. And like, someone gifted him a sub, and he's like, oh, I want to send you the money back. You don't need to do that. I just like doing this. And now he's huge, dude.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Yeah.
Ant
Very, very underrated impression that he did.
Joey
I. I feel like I.
Frank
It was good.
Ant
It was very good.
Frank
It's funny, his name is, like, Brock's or something like that.
Joey
That's a. That's a sick name.
Frank
So cool.
Joey
But that's also the impression he does for David Beckham. Now do. Now do the guy.
Frank
All right, maybe it's a little.
Joey
You know what?
Frank
They are pretty similar, bro. If I saw David Beckham and I heard him talk like that, I know I could beat him up if I saw this guy. I know I can't.
Joey
David Beckham.
Frank
You think realistically you could beat up David Beckham?
Joey
Absolutely not. I've seen him.
Frank
Mean, maybe you've seen him sitting down, Joey.
Joey
He was standing at one point, but.
Frank
He'S not that tall. He's what? Like, he's like your height. Like five one. You bastard.
Joey
Six foot.
Frank
Well, height and weight.
Joey
I mean, he's definitely 150. I'll dog him. And when it comes to that.
Frank
So he's got it. So he's six feet.
Joey
What the.75 is fucking 75.
Frank
75 kilos is you. Yeah, 75 kilos. That's like 170.
Joey
I have no idea how to do the conversion, to be honest.
Frank
75 kilos to pounds 163. Oh. See, that confidence paid off. Now I look smarter to everyone that thought.
Joey
I feel like you just like. I'm trying to picture his body and how much he would weigh.
Frank
Yeah.
Joey
Crazy.
Frank
But six feet, you're done. You're toast. This guy's got a good 10 inches on you.
Joey
All right. I was like, what are you talking about? Yeah. No, I guess. Shout out to David Beckham and his wife Victoria. Why am I doing that?
Frank
You ever see that clip of where she's just like, talking about, like, my dad. We had it so hard. And. And he's like in the back, David Beckham in the background. He's like, what school did your dad drop you? What car did your dad drive you schooling?
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
She's like, it doesn't matter, David. He's like, what? What car? And she's like, david, it doesn't matter. He's like, it was a bloody rose. Rowies.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Or something. Something like that.
Joey
Yo. I'm a big fan of bloody, by the way. When. When people from, like, England say, oh, bloody crazy, or like, whatever. And I'm on cheeky too now.
Frank
Cheeky. I really like. I would. I love the idea of cunt, but, like, we can't do it here.
Joey
We could.
Frank
Cheeky.
Joey
Yachiki's cool.
Frank
Cheeky school. Because it's playfully naughty. You know what I mean?
Joey
Like, cheeky cunt. You could probably get away with that.
Frank
Yeah. Cheeky blood. What. What comes next?
Joey
Cunt.
Frank
We. So we're gonna do. I actually planned on this. We're gonna do an episode of, like, Europe slang before we go over there. So we'll be. Well versed. I was gonna say endowed for some reason. We'll be.
Joey
Well, we won't be that.
Frank
We'll be well versed before we go over there. But. But speaking of well versed, there's actually something that I saw that I wanted to bring up. I don't know if you saw this. It's been.
Joey
This is not gonna have anything to do with well versed. Huh?
Frank
No. Or well endowed.
Joey
Or maybe speaking of well versed, here's something that has nothing to do with it.
Frank
No, no, no. Well endowed might be the thing I'm not gonna show you.
Joey
Which means big dick.
Frank
Yeah. By the way, I'm not showing you a picture of a dick. Just.
Joey
That'd be great.
Frank
Okay. I'm not. I promise.
Joey
But this sounds like you are.
Frank
But it's been going on the around on the Internet. So there's a woman who. Look at me, Joey. There's a woman who found was going through her dead grandmother's, like, belongings after. Could grandmothers be Dying. I mean, we know that they do be dying. And found this card in her dresser. Mm. And show the first one. First, the first. No, no. Yeah. So that one. So this is a car that was in her dresser, presumably from the 50s or 60s for Dr. Dan. Expert plane and fancy fucking evenings. By appointment only.
Joey
This is awesome.
Frank
Grandma was getting it, dude. So, I mean, we can just cut.
Joey
Rate to a party of six or more.
Frank
Satisfaction with one hard on.
Joey
This dude was giving out six man discounts.
Frank
So first of all, way to go, Dr. Dan. All the way. Also, spelling doctor wrong. Is that. Is it doctor or doctor? Is that spelled right?
Joey
It's doctor. It's. That's wrong. Doctor.
Frank
It is doctor.
Joey
Yeah. Yeah.
Frank
So this guy didn't want to get in trouble.
Ant
I don't think this man is a doctor.
Joey
I don't think he's a fucking doctor either.
Frank
What are the lines of being a doctor, though? I think that's something that we definitely have to ask. Schooling.
Joey
Schooling. Schooling.
Frank
Really? Yep. Because you could be a doctor of thuganomics. Look at John Cena. You could be. Maybe to you. But this guy knew extra attention given.
Joey
To neglected married women.
Frank
Also bottom right corner. Widow's a specialty.
Joey
How he specializes in widows.
Frank
There's one part of this that you are vastly overlooking.
Joey
Virgins treated gently.
Frank
Spinsters satisfied. What the hell's a spinster? What is that? What's a spinster? Spinster. Spinster. What is that? It sounds like Chuckie Finster, which I think doesn't mean anything compared to this. Who is that? Chuckie Finster.
Joey
I don't even know why I asked.
Frank
Chuckie Finster. Tommy Pickles.
Joey
Oh, that's his last name.
Frank
Chucky, yeah.
Joey
Oh, I didn't know that. By appointment only is great. You can't just walk in here with a party of six.
Frank
So this was clearly. So Grandma was.
Joey
She was getting.
Frank
She needed Dr. Dan, I'm assuming, you.
Joey
Know, Grandpa died, she became a widow, and that's.
Frank
What do you call this? A gigolo? Is that what that technically is?
Joey
I think so. Yeah.
Frank
Or a male prostitute.
Joey
Yeah, it could be.
Frank
I got.
Joey
I mean, this is a doctor.
Frank
I gotta say. Gigolo. Cool word. It's a fun word. It reminds me of jello.
Joey
It does.
Frank
It reminds me of.
Joey
Say it. R. Kelly.
Frank
God damn it. I wasn't going.
Joey
That is a go. Imagine making a song about like.
Frank
It was a gigolo spending lots of dough.
Joey
Oh, do you remember who's always on the go?
Frank
Do you remember who sang that song? He did the hook, Kelly. He did the hook. Do you remember whose song that actually was?
Joey
No.
Frank
The signs were there, man.
Joey
P. Diddy.
Frank
No, the signs were there. It was Nick Cannon.
Joey
Was it a Nick Cannon song?
Frank
Yeah. You don't need to pull up. Absolutely.
Joey
Do not pull it up.
Frank
I mean, the song kind of hits. I think it was on, like, now that's what I call music. Like seven or eight. And I remember.
Joey
Why do you know that?
Frank
Because we had those. My mom would get us those albums.
Joey
You had all the. Now, that's whatever.
Frank
Not all of them, but we had a few.
Joey
Did you have any kids bop?
Frank
No, thank God. Thank God you had kids bop.
Ant
I did.
Joey
You would. You would.
Frank
Kids. You bop. Your parents probably loved that you were a kid bopping.
Joey
I guess I don't even know how to understand that.
Frank
Do you remember any of the good kids bop? Like, did you, like, legit listen to it or do you know immediately, like, this is.
Ant
I just remember some of them were pretty good.
Frank
Like what?
Ant
I don't remember. I couldn't tell you.
Joey
It's kind of a bananas move to be like, yo, let's take popular songs, make kids sing them, and then sell CDs and give them probably nothing.
Frank
Oh, yeah, I told. Did I tell you that there was a company who reached out to invite me to Kids Box?
Joey
Yeah, they tour.
Frank
They tour. And they were just like, bring the family. Which is cool, by the way. Gracious. But then they were like, meet the stars of Kids Bob.
Joey
Right?
Frank
And I was like.
Joey
Like, I'm not gonna meet Tommy, bro. What am I gonna do?
Frank
What song do you like? You know?
Joey
Yeah, I was gonna ask. Tour. Like, that's how you say it.
Frank
Tour.
Joey
Do you say tour or you say tour?
Ant
Going on tour.
Frank
Tour. Yeah.
Joey
Tour.
Frank
Tour.
Joey
See, like, yeah, people say tour.
Frank
I think it's just a regional difference. You know what I mean? I don't think there's much.
Joey
Someone from New York one time was like, tour. I was like, oh, what the fuck?
Frank
To wear.
Joey
I also pronounce a lot of words wrong. But, you know.
Frank
Well, we're New Yorkers. We do, you know, Coffee, chocolate.
Joey
Everyone gets on me for ax.
Frank
Well, that's because you're just saying it wrong, but I understand. You're.
Joey
Yeah, I don't have time.
Frank
So just based off of what you're seeing here, if you knew someone that needed a little fancy fucking, right?
Joey
If there was neglected married women, then who better to call than a doctor?
Frank
I mean, here's the thing. Nothing here that says it's only for women. Extra attention given to Neglected married women.
Joey
That's fair. That's fair.
Frank
Nothing that says, right, he's not. Dr. Dan isn't given the Dr. Dick to dad.
Joey
And the virgins are treated gently. Which is.
Frank
Which is what you want to hear.
Joey
Exactly.
Frank
You know, you want them to be treated with.
Joey
Never want. We don't want anyone treated not gently. Unless they don't want to be treated gently.
Frank
So that case, I really hope there's nothing about this that has come out that has been like, bad or dark, because then, then we sound bad, but, like, what did we say? I'm just saying. I know, I know, I know. I'm just saying. All right, so now, Joey, there's another portion of this which is the back of the card.
Joey
Wait, hold on real quick. I just want to point this out. There's a photo right underneath this. So it's so funny that there's like a face. Family photo. Or her and her husband. And then right under that, Dr. Be honest with the dick out.
Frank
Because your grandmothers are all gone.
Joey
Right.
Frank
If you had gone.
Joey
You made it sound like I have 20 of them.
Frank
Both your grandparents are gone.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Both your. Both sets of grandparents are gone.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
You're clean.
Joey
Cleaned out.
Frank
Cleaned out.
Joey
Yeah. We're empty.
Frank
Gotcha. If you found this in your grandmother's drawer, would you be hype or would you be like Grandma Frank?
Joey
Oh, if she's alive.
Frank
Well, no, no, no. If she's.
Joey
Oh, she died.
Frank
Current situation.
Joey
If, if, if my grandmother died and we went to her house and I found this. I'm putting it in a frame and I'm hanging it.
Frank
Really?
Joey
You're that pumped 100%?
Frank
Yeah, I would, I, I.
Joey
This is honestly like finding the Declaration of Independence.
Frank
There's also something sad about this because at the time, women were not. Not that they're treated great now, but.
Joey
Do we know what time this was?
Frank
It's. So we're gonna get into that. So I think I tried finding the original post and I couldn't find it. I think it's around the 60s. So there's another part of this before Ant pulls it up that includes what is offered by Dr. Dan. What his services. So in addition to what the services are gonna pull up, we went the extra mile here at the basement yard. We take research very seriously when it is stupid. And we did a conversion of what the cost would be.
Joey
Oh, with inflation.
Frank
With inflation. Adjusted for inflation. Love that. So perfect. So why don't we pull up the next.
Joey
Why don't we get to the ads and then we'll get to this. All right.
Frank
Yeah. Ads and then we'll talk about Dr. Dan. Given that, go to the ad.

Joey
I love the to you about you. From you to you.
Frank
Well, I'm a very.
Joey
Name of the father and the son, obviously, so.
Frank
Okay, so here is the price list that Dr. Dan was so kind to provide us with. So we're gonna go from the top down, baby. Top down. Price list. Starting off clear cut. Okay. Plain insertion.
Joey
Plain. No pepperoni.
Frank
No pepperoni.
Joey
No sausage.
Frank
Well, maybe sausage. Sausage.
Joey
Just sausage.
Frank
Well, there's. Well, $20. $20 now with caresses.
Joey
27.
Frank
Yeah.
Joey
$7 for caresses. What are we talking about, by the way?
Frank
Well, caresses we figured out is back of the hand. Yeah, back of the hand. So like this, because a caress adds a level of intimacy I don't know.
Joey
That I've ever caressed.
Frank
So what Dr. Dan is clearly doing here, obviously is establishing as a businessman that he is. No nonsense, right?
Joey
20 bucks.
Frank
20 bucks for just the base insertion.
Joey
Is there tax?
Frank
You know, that's a great question. I imagine that Dr. Dan does not report any of his income from this.
Joey
I don't think so. I don't think he has an LLC.
Frank
So $20 for a flat and, you know, insertion with caress. 27. And just for shits and giggles, can you let us know in 1960 what 20 or $27 would be in 20, 25 inflation.
Ant
Insertion with caresses. $27 would be $289.70.
Frank
So base pay?
Joey
290, basically. Also to get caressed and fragged.
Frank
Now you're a businessman.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
A lot of people respect you, myself included, as a businessman. Do you think he's missing out here in any way? Because he's clearly establishing flat rate for plain insertion. Do you think he should charge per percentage of insertion?
Joey
What does that mean?
Frank
Just the tip? Oh, tiff in part. 40%, 50%.
Joey
Does anyone really do just the tip?
Frank
I don't know.
Joey
I don't think that's a. I mean.
Frank
Listen, there are people out there that Dress up like Spongebob and scream @ each other during sex. I'm sure people do that.
Joey
Yeah, but they don't go just the tip. They put the whole fucking Krabby Patty in there.
Frank
You know, listen, if Nickelodeon didn't have bigger fish to fry, they would have come here and shut that down. Probably. But I mean potentially as a businessman. $289 for just a plane in search.
Joey
It's plain now.
Frank
It's not a bad starting point now. Okay, the next line makes me think that. That this is just flat out missionary. Inverted positions.
Joey
What is an inverted position?
Frank
I would imagine anything other than.
Joey
So inverted sounds inside out. Dr. You know what I'm saying?
Frank
You're kind of not wrong.
Joey
Like a 69 is inverted.
Frank
I think inverted is just like in this sense that Dr. Dan is defining it dark different. So if I was a businessman here, which I'm not, okay. I would say, well, Dr. Dan, you need to explain what your base position is. Define that. Because does the legal. There's. There's certain legal things here that is not lining up.
Joey
Inverted positions. So is this. I guess I assume this is on top of what.
Frank
Yeah, because the next line says dog fashion.
Joey
Right. And that's 22.50 as well with included barking, yelping, barking and yelping. Yelping is funny.
Frank
Well, yike.
Joey
That's what I picture a yelp with. Barking and yelping is 25 bucks. Just doggy style. 2250. Not bad. Barking and yelping being $2 and 50 cents seems fair to me. I mean, put in $2.50, what would that be?
Frank
So an extra $2.50. 2,050 cents.
Joey
20. Whoa. 250 in 19. What was this 1960 we're doing?
Frank
We're saying 1960.
Joey
So 1960 would be $26. Now I'm not throwing that in.
Frank
I'm not barking for $26. Barking and yell. Well, I imagine so. He's doing the barking and yelping.
Joey
Womb stretch.
Frank
39, 25. You're jumping ahead here, Joey. Jumping ahead.
Joey
What's a whoop stretch is this that.
Frank
You'Re going like this? I mean, bro, what's 3925? Put that in. That's gotta be 300 bucks.
Joey
What is it?
Ant
25. Here we go.
Joey
$421 to get your womb stretched.
Frank
Honestly, what is a womb stretch? That sounds like it's medicinal. Maybe Dr. Jan does have some knowledge.
Joey
That sounds like a birth a.
Frank
Maybe he's like a part time obstetrician.
Joey
Is that a doctor name?
Frank
That's what the OB and OB GYN stands for.
Joey
Brother fire. That. You know that barking and yelping right now sounds so not worth it when you consider you. If you just level up a little bit, you can get.
Frank
I Mean, listen, if you're into. If you already got $27 for caressing. Yeah, you might as well, bro.
Joey
You might as well.
Frank
You might as well throw barking in there. If you're into Stretch.
Joey
Oh, that's you. Caress.
Frank
Caressing. Yeah. Okay, I got you the caress and the bark.
Joey
I'm understanding.
Frank
Can you give me your best bark? No, no.
Joey
What kind of dog?
Frank
Well, so he specifies barking and yelping. So I imagine barking is a larger dog.
Joey
And then yelping's like. So he's doing both. There's two dogs. Now I understand why it's 250.
Frank
Were you at it?
Joey
You like a little teacup Yorkie? Holy shit. That was incredible.
Frank
Yeah, so that was really good. I can see why the yelping. There's people that work right behind that wall, by the way, that are confused. Yep. Okay.
Joey
Womb stretch, though. 420.
Frank
What is a womb stretch? Because that. Honestly, like, you just.
Joey
You gotta. You want to stretch it so you're.
Frank
But it sounds like more, like I said, medicinal.
Joey
Maybe that's fisting. Because that'll stretch it.
Frank
That will stretch it to. You can't.
Joey
Of course it will. Everyone knows that.
Frank
All right, we got to move on from the womb stretch. Wait, $50 for tongue bath?
Joey
A tongue bath? 50 bucks? I mean, I'd rather be stretched in my womb.
Frank
Joey, at the time, there were not. What is a tongue bath, by the way? I imagine that's Cunningus.
Joey
Well, no, because the next is muff dive.
Frank
That. What is the difference between. All right.
Joey
Oh, muff dive is if you have hair.
Frank
So, I mean, so then by appointment, you need to hope that this guy is a beard, because muff dive might not be always available.
Joey
Muff. I think it's pubes, maybe.
Frank
Yeah, maybe he charges. Like, if you are.
Joey
If you got a lot of pubes.
Frank
If you have a lot, I need.
Joey
50 extra dollars, because a regular tongue bath is 50 bucks. A muff dive is a hundred. This guy seems misogynistic to me. Why can't women have a.
Frank
Well, we. At the time. $536. Hey, man. Well, at the time, men, like, women would be like, I'm not feeling great because I've been home all week with the kids. And he's like, you're crazy. I'm gonna get you a lobotomy. So clearly, men had no sense of being a gentleman.
Joey
Yeah, have a cigarette about it.
Frank
Yeah, exactly. You're pregnant. Here, just smoke this. You'll feel great.
Joey
Rate $100. Put that in. How much is $100? With. With.
Frank
I mean, we could do the simple math. It's a thousand. Yeah, it's a fifty. Was seven. Yeah, bro.
Joey
A muff dive for a thousand dollars. Dr. Dan may be a little out of the price range of a normal purse.
Frank
Well, I mean, that's a lot. Clearly, this gentleman was one of a kind. I mean, have we seen other or heard of any other doctors? Giving, by the way, also giving out card. This was like the card, the sesame drinks card that we knew when we were. Maybe that's what Dr. Dan into. He stopped pleasuring lonely widows and he started selling alcoholic drinks.
Joey
Yo. This is also kind of crazy right now, because there is a womb stretch on this thing, but on the front of the card, it says, being gentle with virgins. I don't know how gently you can.
Frank
Can you do me a favor? Urban Dictionary tongue bath. Just so we're on the same page.
Joey
What do you think it is? Like, what do you think?
Frank
I just think it's. I think it's. It's just getting out. Cunnilingus. Oh.
Joey
Maybe a tongue bath is just like soaking, but tongue. You know what I'm saying? Like, just taking a bath, just chilling out.
Frank
Tongue bath. The art of licking the entire body of your partner. A literal. Like, you're a dog. Oh, so it's literally he's licking her whole body. He's doubling down on the barking and yelping. And now he's like, I'm just. We're a dog as it is.
Joey
And now I understand why. It's 50 bucks. That's a big job to lick a whole body.
Frank
Oh, my God. And that could be a disgusting job. Have you ever licked your hand or arm? That could be gross.
Joey
I've watched you lick your hand a lot.
Frank
Yeah, my hands are a little dry right now. I haven't moisturized yet.
Joey
I lick them like a cat.
Frank
But basically, that's what he's doing. So then just do me a favor. Confirm what a muff dive is on Urban Dictionary. Just so we're all on the same page, so we know what we're paying for. Honestly, $50 for a tongue bath? Might be lowballing it.
Joey
I don't know.
Ant
It's. It's what it sounds like.
Joey
Performing all sex on female. Exactly, Exactly.
Frank
So we figured that.
Joey
Okay.
Frank
All right, so time limits per hour. 37.
Joey
50 on top of all this.
Frank
So, yeah. So if you're doing an hour of plane insertion, that's running you 5750. Now you're getting into, I imagine, a tongue bath. Comes with a minimum amount of time. You know, like union rules. It's like if you have them come in for even 20 minutes, they need a minimum of four hours of pain.
Joey
And like, they're gonna take a break in the middle of that.
Frank
Yes. They need their union mandated breaks depending on the amount of time before they go into compliance. You don't want to get into HR issues here, which clearly Dr. Dan is worried about.
Joey
OSHA certified also all night being 12 hours, bro. Whose night is 12 hours? That's bananas.
Frank
The world's night is 12 hours, brother.
Joey
Nah, night is not 12 hours.
Frank
Standard night is 12 hours.
Joey
No, it's not. We have evening think.
Frank
I think at the time, Joey, it.
Joey
Was only day and night. This is bullshit.
Frank
I mean, that sounds about right. All night, 12 hours, 150 flat rate hold. All right, so as Joey is clearly skipping ahead here into the bottom portion of this. We have the sides, we have the entree, the shareables. The shareables. So extra attention. The first one there, for $1.15, you could do titty chewing, which.
Joey
What is that?
Frank
I don't know.
Joey
We know what it is.
Frank
I don't know.
Joey
What? That you want me to chew on those tits.
Frank
I mean, a titty chewing sounds like there's more teeth involved than normal.
Joey
Yeah, I mean, I think that like. Yeah. What is this?
Frank
Dude, you know that like John D. Rockefeller's the neglected wife is just like, give me the everything on the menu.
Joey
Chew on my two of everything. Yeah. Titty chewing. Chew on my tits for A$15.
Frank
Some people, you know, there have been claims that people get off just from titty play.
Joey
Yeah, there are no. There's no claims. There's scientific. There's a small percentage of. Of women who can orgasm just through titty play. I don't know that from experience. Relax. I just.
Frank
He's never. He's never from any experience.
Joey
I'm a virgin who needs gentle Dr. Dam. But titty chewing, $1.50. French kissing, I love that he specified mouth $2.75 steal.
Frank
And then underneath in it says pussy. See muffins and see muff dives.
Joey
See muff dive.
Frank
See muff. And the eye is upside down.
Joey
Yeah, I don't know.
Ant
I think the French kissing is for the mouth, this price. But if they want it somewhere else, they need to refer to muff dive.
Joey
Got it. Oh, see?
Frank
Genius. Aunt. Clearly aunt.
Joey
Yeah, good for you.
Frank
You know any grandparents named Dan?
Joey
Yeah, a French tickler taking over the family business. There's a French tickler. Involved. 325.
Frank
French tickler. What is that?
Joey
Urban Dictionary. We got it. We gotta find out what that is.
Frank
French tickler. I imagine.
Joey
I imagine it's something like. Yeah, but on a butt. I think it's something with a butt. A French tickling. Eating a butt.
Frank
A tickler. A sexual device in the form of a condom containing a massaging accessory at the tip. 1960.
Joey
Wow.
Frank
This guy. What was the Nikola. Nikola Tesla of sex.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Used for a massaging. Why is it specified. Used by those who play guitar and suck toes. To do both. Incredibly. What does the play guitar have to do?
Ant
I couldn't tell you.
Frank
All right, all right. Okay.
Joey
Then we have a finger diddle, which we know what that is.
Frank
We figured out what the finger diddle is. Vaseline, if needed. Flat rate. 120.
Joey
Makes sense.
Frank
Of course, there are some people that require that 125 A. $13.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Well, no, I mean a bottle, dude.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Whoa. And this is when it was made from, like, legit, like, petroleum. Like you were basically getting, like, gasoline rubbed on your shit.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
This is crazy. Is there a number on the front?
Joey
No, I checked for that.
Frank
Okay. God damn.
Joey
See, here's the thing, too. They have this, but it's kind of mysterious because you have no way of getting in contact.
Frank
Is it? I imagine there's gotta be.
Joey
You just gotta run into the doctor again.
Ant
Did they have phones in the 60s?
Joey
Yeah, dude.
Frank
What do you mean, did they have phones? Have you never seen anything from that time?
Joey
This phone's probably from the 60s.
Frank
That's more like the 70s. I know my phones.
Joey
I know my phones.
Frank
I would say that's probably from the 70s. Could you imagine just being like, pick that up and call in Dr. Dan on a rotary phone.
Joey
Imagine the other one where it's like you have two. Two pieces and you're like, hello, Dr. Dan. Come chew on my tits. Titty chewing's bananas.
Frank
Chewing is pretty.
Joey
Yeah. That's cool, though. I like that.
Frank
I hope. Wherever Dr. Dan is, I imagine he's dead just like the rest of everyone at that time.
Joey
Yeah, he probably is crazy. You don't make it out crazy. He's not living a long life, bro.
Frank
If I, like, seriously, if I had grandparents that, like, loved each other, I saw this, I'm like, what the fuck? This would ruin my.
Joey
Because you know how like this would ruin your life. You'd be so upset by this for some reason.
Frank
Well, no, if it was just like, farting my grave. It was like a. Like an old timey Gramophone recording of my grandmother farting. I'd be pissed.
Joey
It's a giant gramophone, and he's like. Plays it, Grandma, I told you.
Frank
When my grandmother died, we found, like, saucy letters that her and my grandfather sent back and forth to each other.
Joey
Oh, like, I can't wait to see your ankles.
Frank
Yeah, basically. Yeah. Because my grandfather was in the Korean War, and they, like, wrote messages back and forth, like postcards.
Joey
Damn.
Frank
And it was just like. One of them was just like, I can't wait to hold you in my bosom. And like, that was. That was.
Joey
That's basically titty.
Frank
That was sex. Yeah, that was sexting.
Joey
At the time, I never found anything of my dead grandparents anything horny. Honestly.
Frank
I mean, I. You know, sex is a part of life. So, like, you do have to imagine that, like, your grandparents were doing it. Crazy.
Joey
You know, My grandpa on my mom's side was dead before I was born.
Frank
That's right. Yeah.
Joey
So I don't know how much sex she was having.
Frank
Yeah. I mean, there. I think there was also a type of woman that was just like, I've lost my life partner and I'm just gonna be celibate for the rest of my life.
Joey
She was very Irish and, like, traditional.
Frank
Like, Irish Catholic.
Joey
Yeah, Irish Catholic. She was like, God's watching. And now my husband's watching.
Frank
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The vents didn't get cleaned out.
Joey
Yeah. No. Well, I don't think that we should say it like that.
Frank
I mean, my grandparents, too. Although I will say one of my grandparents. Actually, one of my. Both my grandfathers are kind of dogs.
Joey
In what way?
Frank
Not like, in, like, the dawg way. Like, they both had affairs and left their wives.
Joey
Oh, okay.
Frank
And then went and had children with the other woman.
Joey
Right. Really interested in sex.
Frank
Yeah. And then, like, one of them. I'm not gonna say who. I'll narrow it down to two.
Joey
We're not. I can't even follow your family.
Frank
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Honestly, me neither.
Joey
Because they mix. Because some of the branches go into the other branches, that's why.
Frank
Oh, you're confused.
Joey
His uncle, like.
Frank
No, no, no, no. There are two cousins that are distant cousins. Like third cousins that distant, meaning they.
Joey
Live 10 miles from each other. Go ahead.
Frank
They. They. They are now married.
Joey
That'll do something to the root of the tree.
Frank
Yeah. And they have a kid who's. His eyes are in his mouth.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
No, I'm kidding. I don't even know if they were able to have kids. God bless. But no, no, no.
Joey
That's a good place to start some ads, I think.
Frank
Oh, I was gonna tell you about my.

Who's your uncle?
Frank
No, it's not my. One of my grandfathers had an affair and then like would like was with the new woman and would fly the other woman like his original wife, the OG to come spend weekends with him in the house. Yeah.
Joey
With his new wife. Yeah.
Frank
Crazy stuff, Baller. That's crazy that you're just appropriating like the way that like people did that.
Joey

Frank
Look at this, look at this, look at this smile. There's no smile.
Ant
Sorry.
Joey
Watch it.
Frank
You're happy. You're happy. Any of your grandparents cheat on each other?
Ant
Probably.
Frank
Probably. Maybe they were all. Let me guess, they were all happy.

Frank
So you got. You got a pair left.

Good for you, man. Are they like, how old are they? In their 70s or 80s?
Ant
70S.
Frank
Wow. So they're young, what, mid?
Ant
Late 70s?
Frank
Okay. I mean, still kind of relatively. I guess not everyone back then, they were having kids. They were like, you're 20 now. Time to have a child.
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Crazy. You like them? Yeah. What do you call them? Something white like.
Joey
Oh, my God. Do you have those names?
Frank
Ping pong and a game goof.
Ant
It's my Italian side, so it's Nono and Nana.
Frank
Oh, okay.
Joey
That's not too bad.
Frank
Yeah, I like that.
Joey
Did you. Abuela.
Frank
Abuelita. Abuelito. Yeah. And then Yaya and Papu. His accent is so fake. No, that's why we say Yay. I mean, yaya, you were there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Yeah. You can't not say that. But Papua.
Joey
I never met Papu.
Frank
Yeah, he was you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We used to see him. He looked.
Joey
When did he croak?
Frank
The same year as my grandmother. As his ex wife.
Joey
Damn.
Frank
So he came to the wake and he was just like. He showed up.
Joey
He came to the wake and died that year?
Frank
Yeah.
Joey
Damn, bro, all people die because of broken hearts.
Frank
It's kind of, I mean. No, I don't think he had a broken heart. I think he was like super cool.
Joey
He was super cool with it. I mean he showed up, bro. Probably broke his fucking heart.
Frank
That was. Honestly, bro, if I showed you a picture of this man, you'd say get the fuck out of here.
Joey
Why?
Frank
Because there's the Greekest looking man on the planet. The Greek is looking, man. I'll show you. I'm not gonna go.
Joey
Picturing cigarettes.
Frank
Hell yeah.
Joey
And gold chains.
Frank
Mmm. I don't remember. Gold chains.
Joey
Hairy chests.
Frank
Hell yeah. Yeah. The mustache, dude, you couldn't believe it. I, I fuck. I really want to show you my beater.
Joey
Sitting down outside of a cafe. I'm.
Frank
This guy, he was it. So he, he had several restaurants. He was like a cook. Wow. And that's, you know, guy was something. But yeah, he came to my grandmother's and he would always, he'd scare me when we were kids, he'd pop his teeth out. He had dentures. He'd look at me and he'd go. And he'd drop his teeth out of his mouth and scare the out of me. He's a good guy.
Joey
Damn. That's crazy. Yeah, he's a good guy. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about this thing. Apparently there was a wait before I even get to that, which maybe, probably at this point we will never get to, but I wanted to ask you this question that I thought of yesterday and I was like, would you drink a full. Let me just pull it over here. Would you drink a full 16 ounce cup?
Frank
Right. So a draft beer, a point of.
Joey
A random person's piss. Right. If it meant you could be granted one wish. Can't be money and you can't throw up. You can't throw up or else it doesn't count.
Frank
Yeah. You think you can do that? I start gagging right now and you'll throw up.
Joey
I'll be alright if you get the.
Frank
Fuck out of here.
Joey
16 ounce glass of a random person's piss. You have to get the whole thing Down. You can't throw up.
Frank
Is there a time limit?
Joey
On what?
Frank
How long it takes me to drink this piss?
Joey
No, but why would you want to stretch it out?
Frank
I mean, if I only take a little bit and I stretch it out to, you know, like two, three days.
Joey
Oh, no way. I think you just chug it as.
Frank
Fast as chug piss.
Joey
Yeah. If anything, you get one wish and it can't be money.
Frank
So then what could the wish be?
Joey
There's other things in the world besides money. You pig.
Frank
Crazy with the pig. What are you crazy?
Joey
What would you wish for?
Frank
Am I. Can we. I have some. I have some questions. Go. Is the piss diseased?
Joey
So that's the thing. It's a random person's piss.
Frank
If it is disease, is it disease? If it's disease, is it dirty piss?
Joey
Here's the thing.
Frank
If it's.
Joey
It's yellow, it ain't some clear, you know?
Frank
Okay, So I can't even. I can't. I'll know it's piss. Like, it's not like there's no doubt about it.
Joey
Is.
Frank
So piss is p. Carbonated. Shouldn't be. No, I've seen some bubbles in my pee.
Ant
Damn it.
Joey
He's going to the computer. Pee is not carbonated. Are we okay, guys? Do we even know what that means?
Ant
It's in there.
Frank
It can't be because you're in carbonate. I've always seemed so bubbly.
Joey
I think it's just like if you. If you smash water.
Frank
Well, that's Quora. We don't know how accurate Quora is. Let's go to that one. Northwestern Medicine.
Joey
This is foamy urine. Oh, my God. If we're gonna find out, we're gonna find out.
Frank
I'm sick.
Joey
Frank's gonna find out.
Frank
Oh, no, no, no.
Joey
An std. What causes foamy urine? Your kidneys?
Ant
No, I think it just creates bubbles when it goes into the water.
Joey
I also think that too.
Frank
Yeah. All right. I mean, I mean, why the bottles in there.
Joey
Bubbles in there from sea to shining. Oh, they don't say foamy in that song.
Frank
But from. So is it a diseased piss?
Joey
So you don't know. But if it is a diseased piss, I don't even know if. I mean, I'm sure you can get sick from drinking piss. Probably. But, like, if you drink the piss, it's not like you're impervious to the sickness. The only thing is you won't, like, have some long lasting thing that happens.
Frank
So if it's diseased, it might be Something that's easily curable, whether it be that day or.
Joey
But you'll feel the effects of the piss.
Frank
Well, yeah, I mean, it's. Piss rarely poses a health risk.
Joey
Okay, so there you go.
Frank
I mean, of course there's, you know, STDs and stuff in there that I would not want.
Joey
Can you get STDs from drinking piss?
Frank
I believe so.
Joey
This is all encompassing.
Frank
I don't think you can, bro. It's like, bodily fluids contained in urine.
Joey
Rarely poses a health risk.
Frank
Yeah, but bodily fluids. These bodily fluids do not spread hp. Hbv, Saliva, tears, sweat, or pee. Interesting.
Joey
Okay, there you go.
Frank
Would you do it? Ant has a question. Ant, can I chill it? Great question. Can I mix it with anything or. It's gotta be straight pee.
Joey
No, no, no, no.
Frank
All right.
Joey
You could chill it, but you can't put ice cubes in it.
Frank
Well, then how are you chilling it? You just letting it sit in the fridge for.
Joey
Yes, answer your own question. Very easily.
Frank
Pour it over a couple dash of bitters. Can I make it into something else?
Joey
No, you have to taste the piss full on.
Frank
I mean, I'll taste the piss.
Joey
Yeah. No, you're gonna have to full piss it. Because if I put it in, like an alcoholic drink, like a pina colada.
Frank
That would be a good PP I ever drank. Yeah, you drank more piss.
Joey
You can put.
Frank
What? You've drank more piss.
Joey
No, no, no, but it would be the easiest one I ever drink. But if you put it in the freezer, you would just have to let it sit there. And you could, like chill it in that way, but you can't put ice cubes in it. So straight piss.
Ant
I'll do it then.
Joey
But what would you wish for?
Ant
Teleportation.
Joey
Why did you do this? Like, it didn't matter what the wish for. Like, the whole reason.
Frank
What am I going to. So really, you can't see him, obviously, but Joey goes, what are you going to wish for? He goes, teleportation. Like, obviously, idiot. Like what? What else would I wish for?
Joey
I didn't know that it was obvious. I thought it was just like, whatever. Teleportation. Like, I'm not even gonna think of that.
Frank
I would wish. You know what I would wish for? I would do it. Yes, because whatever, brother, Piss. Me and piss are like this at this point.
Joey
It was a random piss.
Frank
All right?
Joey
It's not your piss.
Frank
I mean, if there's nothing about the piss that's gonna be like, it's gonna. And you also said, don't throw up. I'm taking the chance there's a good shot I'm gonna throw up.
Joey
And you, you would spread it out over a course of days, just two.
Frank
Days, a little sip of piss, you know.
Joey
But I feel like that would just make the whole experience much worse. Like I'm continuously going back.
Frank
All right, so maybe I'll try to chunk it. I don't know. In this hypothetical, I'm sorry, I haven't figured out can't hold your nose either.
Joey
Can't hold your nose.
Frank
That doesn't work for me. People that do that, where they're like. And they take a shot, still take.
Joey
You do that?
Frank
No, no, I. Yeah, you do.
Ant
I don't think.
Frank
Yeah, you do.
Joey
I thought he does.
Frank
I'm just gonna. I'm backing you up here. Thanks. Yeah, I mean, I'm. I'm. I'm taking the chance. And then I'm wishing for, like, Tony Stark level intellect. I'm talking like this. The brains to be able to do anything and figure out anything.
Ant
I want to make it clear. So not world peace, not wishing for.
Frank
I can make wake it. Hold on, hold on.
Joey
I can teleportation.
Frank
Yeah. What do you mean? So you're not taking world peace, Mr. I could fucking snap of a finger. You're good. You'd be jumper. That's what you want to be. The 2006 movie, Jumper.
Joey
He just wants to be able to get back and forth from Epcot. He's like, I could get to Disney like this.
Frank
Yeah. I'm saying yeah. Because I. With that intellect, I could solve world peace, you know, Tony Stark wasn't able to, but I could.
Joey
I don't think no one's smart enough to come with world peace. I just don't think the rest of the world is willing.
Frank
That's true. That is true. But I would be willing. I'd be smart enough that I'd be able to make them willing, you know, with my Iron man armor.
Joey
Is your wish that you'd be Iron Man?
Frank
No, no, but just like Bruce Wayne level intellect. Because with that intellect, he picked two.
Joey
Billionaires, by the way.
Frank
Well, Bruce Wayne is not just a by the way. He's known to having a genius level intellect. It's not like I'm picking like Elon Musk, who very well could be a dummy, you know, I'm saying you did.
Joey
Pick two billionaires, though.
Frank
Okay, but. All right, Charles Xavier, intellectual. Is that just mind reading? Well, he's also very smart.
Joey
I don't know.
Frank
Before that.
Joey
He's A professor.
Frank
He's a professor. There's. There's so many. Sorry. That all the smart people I can realize. Stephen Hawking, you know. Yeah. Very smart.
Joey
Very smart.
Frank
You know, But I'm just saying.
Joey
Yeah, yeah, but you say, like, you would want to be as smart as.
Frank
You, the smartest to ever exist. That, like, there's nothing out of my intellectual reach.
Joey
Okay. Drinking piss to get there.
Frank
Yeah, whatever. I mean, listen, man, now that's life. You can't make an omelette without cracking a couple eggs. Can't be smart without drinking a couple cups of piss.
Joey
Yeah. Can you.
Frank
But.
Joey
Okay, same thing.
Frank
Wait, what are you wishing for?
Joey
What did I say? I said that I would wish for. I would never get sick.
Frank
Patek Fully perpetual calendar.
Joey
No, I would get. I would never get sick. That would be.
Frank
That would be a good one. But I would be smart enough to figure out that I'd never. Like. I can never get sick.
Joey
I don't think that you.
Frank
The brain. I can cure the common cold.
Joey
What do you think you. Just because you're smart, bacteria dies?
Frank
Well, no. If my brain knows no bounds, then I would be able to solve all of the world's problems. Hunger, war.
Joey
I mean, you don't have to be a genius.
Frank
Sickness.
Joey
Frank. You don't have to be a genius. Like I said, you can figure out how to do world peace, but people have to be willing.
Frank
Yeah, but I would be. But that's the other part of it, is that you need to be smart enough to understand how they're going to be willing. So I'd be smart enough to do it all.
Joey
No.
Frank
Yes.
Joey
This kid is such a. I'm so smart that I can convince people and manipulate the world. And I run the world.
Frank
I'm. Well, now you use the M word. I never said manipulate. I just said that I'd be smart enough to figure it out. Right? Yep. What will you wish for? Oh, you said never get sick.
Joey
I could never get sick. Like, I just know that, like, I'll just always be healthy, no matter what.
Frank
But does that mean that you'll live forever? No, because technically, dying of natural causes is as a result of sickness.
Joey
Yeah, so, like, I also thought about that, too. I mean, obviously I'm still like, I get hit by a bus. Like that could happen.
Frank
That sucks.
Joey
It does suck. But that could. That's a really.
Frank
So why not. So why not wish you could hit.
Joey
By a bus too, Genius.
Frank
No, because I would be smart enough to not get.
Joey
To get out of the way.
Frank
I'd be Smart enough to not. I'd understand the probability of a bus hitting me that day. And I would remove myself from that opportunity.
Joey
Yo, you doing this. As the smartest person in the world, I would kill you with a gun.
Frank
But I would know that you'd be pissed. And I wouldn't see the gun killing coming.
Joey
Did you see all the 30 hitmen I hired? The assassins?
Frank
I knew that I would. You know, like Ozymandias? Another. Again, a billionaire. You don't know who that is?
Joey
I don't know, but Ozamandius and the Watchman. Oh, okay, yeah, okay. But now same thing. And it can be money.
Frank
Okay. Human shit. Log of poop. One log.
Joey
Yeah, but like the master log.
Frank
I didn't know you had different rankings for crap.
Joey
But you know what I mean?
Frank
Just. Alright, so a good, like just. I mean, that's too big. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but just a log of solid.
Joey
Shit this large and it's a random person, bro.
Frank
And I can't do anything to this log of shit.
Joey
You could use a fork and knife.
Frank
Can I throw up? Because that is gonna make me throw up. That's gonna make me throw up.
Joey
Yes, you can throw up.
Frank
Yeah. So then I'm taking the shot, baby.
Joey
You're taking the shot?
Frank
Yeah.
Joey
And you're definitely getting sick. I mean, you're eating.
Frank
Well, actually, no, I'm not. And I'll tell you why. Because with the cup of piss, I have the genius into.
Joey
These are different.
Frank
Figure out how to become the smartest man. A richest man alive.
Joey
No, this is the. This is the. What does it have to do with eating the shit?
Frank
I won't have to eat the shit and wish for money because I already have the intellect to figure out how to be the richest person on the planet.
Joey
Right?
Frank
And that doesn't even mean that I would use my intellect for that.
Joey
Maybe he's like, if I'm smart, then I can invent. And now I'm back to the billionaire.
Frank
I'm.
Joey
Yeah, I mean, Blake, obviously, different worlds. You're. Are you. Would you eat the.
Frank
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Joey
You know how much money I would pay to watch you even sit in front of a plate of human? Me?
Frank
Yeah. Why him? Why he would gag.
Joey
Maybe uncontrollable. You may suffocate from gay. Can I chill it? What is this?
Frank
Can I chill it? Honestly, I feel like it'd be better hot.
Joey
No, Hot and ready like Little Caesars.
Frank
Yeah.
Joey
No, I don't know about.
Frank
Oh God, I'm gonna fucking Throw up.
Joey
Can I chill? It is such a funny question. Why you want it to be like sausage?
Frank
I'm gonna get them. I'm going to get him once.
Joey
You want it to be like sauce.
Frank
I can see it happening slowly. I can see his face. He's going to gag.
Joey
What is that? Bro, how come you are so this.
Frank
The easiest thing in the world? It's crazy.
Joey
Why would you want it chilled?
Ant
I feel like it'd be nicer.
Joey
I feel like it'd be nicer, but, like, you want to be able to cut it like a sausage.
Ant
Yeah.
Joey
Okay.
Frank
Chopsticks.
Joey
Oh, like a sush, kind of. Okay.
Ant
Shishu.
Joey
What about.
Frank
Oh, no, I got hiccups now.
Ant
You deserve that a little bit.
Joey
That's kind of disgusting. For some reason, they have hiccups during this conversation.
Frank
Go. Keep going, Keep going. What are you gonna ask next?
Joey
What are you doing? Oh, is this. Oh, is this how you're gonna get rid of them? Oh, you do the keep. You've done that a lot on a show. On the show.
Frank
Oh, God.
Joey
Did it work?
Frank
Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah, so far. Wow.
Joey
God bless.
Frank
Yeah. So, yeah, if it means. If it means a comfortable life for everyone, I know I will gladly eat a lot of human shit.
Joey
Six ounces of semen.
Frank
Six ounces? What is that, fluid ounces?
Joey
Yeah.
Frank
Well, I think there's a difference between fluid ounces and, like, just weight.
Ant
Can I pick the person?
Joey
No, two shots. Two shot glasses. I meant. Oh, two shot glasses. I don't know.
Frank
I can't pick the person.
Joey
How would you even go about.
Frank
I think that's. Honestly, I think that's where I draw the line.
Joey
Semen.
Frank
Yeah.
Joey
Two shot glasses of blood.
Frank
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'll ask for a third.
Joey
What's it? Two bloods is crazy.
Frank
Not blooded. That's really.
Joey
I'm disgusted by it.
Frank
Really?
Joey
Like. Like, arm. Like blood.
Frank
If it's my own blood, I don't care.
Joey
It's not your blood. That's the point. It's a random person's blood. The idea of drinking a random person's.
Frank
Blood is so disgusting. Let's be very clear. All this is gross and probably got us demonetized while ago. Probs.
Joey
But good morning to whoever is watching the show.
Frank
Yeah. They drive to work. We're like, it's gonna be a. Gonna.
Joey
Give you something to think about for the rest of the day, though, because you are gonna probably ask your friends, like, yo, you drinking this piss?
Frank
That's a good question. Yeah, I'm gonna ask yo, the piss.
Joey
Thing is probably, like, anyone who says no is a. A idiot and you should kick him out of your lives, like you should.
Frank
You should be able to easily drink piss. Means nothing to me.
Joey
Bear Grylls was pissing his.
Frank
Is drinking his own piss now. Bear Grylls is different, though. I know, but he's a weirdo. I think he. I think there's some stuff about Bear Grylls that is not very nice. Like, he told about the fact that.
Joey
His name is Bear Grylls.
Frank
Awesome. Definitely can't be his real name, though. Yeah, definitely. Give me. Give us it. Give us that.
Joey
Oh, my God. If he has, like, a whack name.
Frank
Yeah. If it's like, Roger Stevenson, gonna be so pissed.
Joey
Bear Gryll's real name, Edward Michael. His name is Edward Michael. Is anything in this world real?
Frank
No, it's not. And honestly, he deserves to drink his own piss.
Ant
He was given the nickname at a week old.
Joey
His sister gave him the nickname Bear when he was a week old.
Frank
So it's not his own. All right, you know what? But he also perpetuates it because, you know, he goes around, he's like, my name's Bear. You know, he does it.
Joey
So damn.
Frank
He's.
Joey
What's his wife's name?
Frank
Shauna? Looks like Shara.
Joey
What does that say?
Ant
Where? Oh, here. Shar Grills.
Joey
Shara. Oh, Shara Grill Grills.
Ant
Or is that a weird Sarah?
Frank
Maybe it could be, because there's a lot of, like, Irish names that are, like. It's spelled and it's like. The name is like, Siobhan. Yeah, it's like.
Joey
But it's. It's spelled like Sheboygan or something.
Frank
Co B hand.
Joey
Yeah. Like, what are we doing here?
Frank
Yeah, well, we don't want to offend anyone that speaks Gaelic, so.
Joey
Right.
Frank
Or anyone that watches this name. Siobhan.
Joey
Right.
Frank
Or anyone that's watching this name. Saoirse.
Joey
What's that?
Frank
That's another, like, Gaelic Irish name. Like the actress Saoirse Ronan. It's spelled like S A O I R, S E Soiree. There's a lot of those. There's a lot of those. Like, there are really difficult to pronounce Gaelic names.
Joey
I used to tell people I was Gaelic because I just thought Gaelic meant Irish. I didn't know.
Frank
Oh, there's no way you were getting. Like. When I heard Gaelic in, like, 2004, I was just like, huh, A gay lick. Yeah.
Joey
Ew.
Frank
You speak.
Joey
What, you're going to gay lick your voice?
Frank
Anyway, question.
Joey
I think that's where we can end right there. You know what I mean?
Frank
With Gaelic, Right? Gotcha. Okay. I mean. All right.
Joey
Where can they find you, Frank?
Frank
Drinking a cup of piss to become the smartest man in the world?
