Frank
We're back.
Joe
He's all in red.
Frank
I'm all in red. The lady in red. Is that a song? Lady in red. It is a song.
Joe
Lady in red.
Frank
Got it. What?
Joe
I don't know who's buy it, who's.
Frank
By it, who sings it?
Joe
Joel.
Frank
Billy Joel is singing lady in Red.
Joe
I don't know.
Frank
He doesn't strike me as a red guy. He's like a blue guy. Blue collar? Blue. Like I'm Billy Joe blue. Blue. Red is more like sexy. Like, dirty. Like a. Well, I don't mean. No. What is going up mean? Yes. Do you associate any feelings with colors? I know we're getting into psychologically.
Joe
That is a real thing that I know.
Frank
It's synesthesia or something like that, right?
Joe
No, that's, like, when you can see colors.
Frank
Oh, okay. With, like, words and so, like, it's psychological. I know. Like, McDonald's and a lot of restaurants use red because it makes you feel, like, hungry and stuff like that. But, like, Joey, go. Forget about McDonald's.
Joe
Name a color. I'll tell you the feeling.
Frank
Green.
Joe
Earthy.
Frank
Yeah, but that's not a feeling. You can't feel earthy.
Joe
Green. That's an interesting one.
Frank
Green is, like, happy. It's like. Yeah, yeah, that's happy.
Joe
I get that.
Frank
Yeah.
Joe
No, it's not bad. It's a good one. It's like an upper. It's.
Frank
Yeah. Okay.
Joe
You know, what about. What about yellow?
Frank
Oh, yellow is, like, kind of dirty.
Joe
What?
Frank
Yeah, to me, yellow is, like, yellow and brown and orange is, like, kind of like muddy and dirty.
Joe
Brown is. You're making it sound horny, though.
Frank
It's not. That's not what I said at all.
Joe
Brown, to me, is just very, like.
Frank
You're assigning the sexuality to it.
Joe
Strong. Like, brown is strong. Brown is charcoal and like. Well, do you know what I'm saying?
Frank
I think you're saying paper cuts.
Joe
I'm just talking as things are happening.
Frank
I think red is very, like, you know, like. Yeah, like evil cat. And like, no cat is like, to.
Joe
Me, red is like energy and explosiveness, explosions.
Frank
Yeah, I see that. Red also a combination of stuff, too.
Joe
What's a sad color?
Frank
Sad. Gray.
Joe
Yeah, great.
Frank
Like, I think Eeyore, you know, like.
Joe
Eeyore's like, navy blue to me is also like.
Frank
Navy blue to me is, like, regal. Like, I think it's because of the navy in it.
Joe
Could be.
Frank
It's just like. It's a very, like. Yeah, I Want to salute you because of the navy blue that you're wearing.
Joe
What does white do for you?
Frank
I'm terrified of it.
Joe
I knew you were gonna do that.
Frank
No, I think, honestly, actually, white.
Joe
Black and white are not colors. Yeah.
Frank
I think they're like hues and shades or something.
Joe
One time I told someone that I love the color black, and they're like, it's not a color. It's a. The absence of color. It might have been you or you.
Frank
It's. Honestly, I was going to say you should have attacked them, but it is possible that it was me.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
So don't attack me. I won't. But do you? I don't. I can't remember last time I saw you wear red. Do you wear red? You don't strike me as a red guy.
Joe
You're like, I have a red jacket that I've worn.
Frank
You're like. I don't want to say muted, but, like, your color palette that works for you is more whites and creams and browns and blacks. Like, it's not very, like, poppy color. Like, if you walked in with a pink shirt, I think I would. My eyes would fall out of my head.
Joe
I did wear a yellow rain jacket.
Frank
On the last episode that was orange. We've talked about that quite a bit.
Joe
It's up for debate.
Frank
No, it is certainly not up for debate.
Joe
It's up for debate. Just so we're all clear, I may have some sort of blindness, because it feels like very obviously blindness, brother.
Frank
I think at this point in time, you would know if you had a form of color.
Joe
This is, like, yellow, obviously.
Frank
That's very yellow.
Joe
And like, the jacket.
Frank
Do I have the jacket? The jacket's over there on the table. We don't need to get up and get it.
Joe
Yeah, I can do this.
Frank
We'll just let it live. Like, that's orange, of course, but that's like a deep orange. Yeah, deep, Deep. Deep in red and orange. Deep. Yeah. Yeah.
Joe
That was a weird moment. But wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I wanted to start this episode with something important. Not important. It was a little dramatic. On my flight home, I just learned this thing. I had the weirdest interaction you can possibly have with a flight attendant ever. I went to the bathroom, and I get up there. Well, first of all, I stand up. Turbulence. Immediately, I'm bouncing around the fucking piss of my bladders. Bouncing around like. Like loose changing a dryer. Question.
Frank
So I was on this flight. It was on our way home from Dublin, Ireland, as they call it, over there. I noticed that they, like, you're not allowed to walk up by where you rich people are. You know what I'm saying?
Joe
They close the curtains.
Frank
They close the curtains. And then on top of closing the curtains, there's a sign that says, don't come up here unless you're one of us.
Joe
Does it say that?
Frank
Yeah. Which is crazy. Like, segregation exists on planes apparently.
Joe
Big time.
Frank
I don't like it, but, like, was the bathroom nicer?
Joe
It's a slightly bigger bathroom than I've been in other plain bathrooms. That sentence meant nothing. That literally meant nothing.
Frank
I tried to make it slightly bigger.
Joe
It was slightly bigger as much, but, like, that's the. I made it so hard. That's all I wanted to say.
Frank
Could I. Cause I know you were in, like, first class, whatever it was called. I don't remember.
Joe
Delta 1.
Frank
Yes, there it is. Like, was there, like the. Was the perks perky? Were they perky perks? Were they, like, worth it? Because you were up there and I was just like, damn, I could see you first of all. Yeah. So, like, it's not like you were like, in like another way through the door. Don't come in here through that net that they close and hiss.
Joe
You can look through the net, you nats.
Frank
But, like, was. Were the perkies. Were the perks perky for you?
Joe
I don't know because any. I've. I haven't flown internationally that much, but I usually try to book Delta 1. But where you are sitting, I think you guys got the same shit as me.
Frank
Yeah. As far as, like, the food, probably, and I think drink. I mean, I didn't drink on the plane, but like, bro, crazy thing.
Joe
By the way, on our flight, they made an announcement that main cabin ran out of alcohol broke. I was like, what?
Frank
There was like four guys, like two, like, aisles in front of me and to the right that were pounding drinks. They ran out of alcohol and they were just like, we're the ones that did it. Yeah, they were like. They said that all they had left was red wine.
Joe
That's insane.
Frank
Yeah.
Joe
I mean, but yeah, no, the perks are like, whatever. I mean, I do it because I like to lay down. Like, obviously that makes sense. I would rather do that. And I have a lot of miles so I can, like, bring the price down and stuff. But so I go up to the bathroom and there's a flight attendant right there, and they're like kind of talking to another flight attendant. And the door says it's in use. You know, when you lock It. And the thing says, occupied. So I'm just waiting. Then the guy turns to me and he goes, oh, you don't know the trick? And I'm like, what? Because I'm like, what is he talking about? Like, how to hold in my piss or something? Like, I didn't know what he meant. And he's like, you can unlock it from the outside.
Frank
I knew that.
Joe
And I was like, how the. Why the fuck would I do that?
Frank
The little. Yeah, well, that's the question. Because I've seen them unlock it. They, like, that little, like, cover. They pick it up.
Joe
The thing that says lavatory. It says, like, lavatory or whatever, right? You can lift that, and it's, like, a little thing, and you can unlock the door. And I had no idea.
Frank
I knew that.
Joe
Yeah, but also seen them do it.
Frank
Because I've seen them do it. But also, why would you do that?
Joe
Why did they lock it? As my question also, why would they.
Frank
Like, be like, you don't know the trick? Like, this is a trick of the trade. Like, we're just gonna make it look.
Joe
Also, bro, do you think I'm gonna make the judgment call of, like, there's no one in there. Let me unlock it.
Frank
That is risky, risky business, let me tell you.
Joe
And I was on the verge of a big, steamy piss. So someone would have got covered.
Frank
Yeah. I don't know why that was difficult for me to comprehend what you were saying.
Joe
But, yeah, I just thought that was so weird because he's like. And then I. So I went to the bathroom, peed, you know, did whatever, shut the door. And then I was like, hey, thanks, man. Appreciate it. And he's like, now you can do it whenever you want. And I was like, dude, why do you want me to open bathrooms that are locked?
Frank
That was a freak of a flight attendant.
Joe
Yeah, it was like.
Frank
He was just like, you don't know. The. He was perky. You don't know.
Joe
But he's like, now you can do whatever you want. And I'm like, no, I can't. Against the law. Illegal, is it, opening up a locked bathroom? It's got to be.
Frank
I don't know. I mean, we're. I also.
Joe
I don't need the panic now. Now that I know that's a thing. Every time I take a poop on an airplane now, I'm gonna be like, oh, my God, So we can get in here. And like, yeah.
Frank
I mean, that is kind of terrifying. Now you're scaring me. And you know how I feel on Planes already scared most of the time.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
So, like, now I will say those plain bathrooms were pretty big. Like, I got in there, and I was just like, there's space. Because normally I have pretty broad shoulders. It's. You know, I get in there and I'm. I have to, like.
Joe
Can't even go piss.
Frank
Like, Uncle Fester.
Joe
Yeah. You know, you got to piss like you're freezing.
Frank
Yeah.
Joe
Jesus. I don't know.
Frank
But, yeah. Oh, now I'm letting you know, next flight we're on, if you're not, like, guarded by, like, the royal guards of the planes, I'm going to. When you're in the bathroom, open the door.
Joe
Don't. I'll cause a scene. I'll get you off no fly.
Frank
Is that possible? Well, the fucking flight attendant was just like, do it. He, like, fucking, like, yeah, he was trying. Schoolboy bullied you into, like, opening this fucking bathroom on people.
Joe
Know the trick.
Frank
I'll. I'll. You know what? I won't do it. I'll pay a med to do it. That. I mean, you never know.
Joe
My least favorite part of the plain bathroom is it's been different things, but now, like, obviously the faucet is annoying how it, like, stops and you gotta do it. But now it's like I'm trying to just throw the trash out. Like, I'm trying to throw these towels out, and it's like it's closing on my finger.
Frank
Yep. And now you have to touch it.
Joe
And then touch the. And the opening is so small.
Frank
Agreed.
Joe
My hands are dirty again.
Frank
See, my issue is. And I think we spoke about this, but, like, this sinks are not deep enough.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
So, like, I can't get my hands in there to wash them because I can't shrink my hands.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
I can't have little baby hands like yours. So, like, when I get in there, it's like, as I'm washing my hands, it's like scraping the bottom of the sink, and it's like, it's ruined.
Joe
You know how I get out? I shoulder the thing. I throw my shoulder into the lock.
Frank
Oh, I didn't even think of that. I just. I do the forearm or.
Joe
Yeah, I won't. Yeah, I'll do that.
Frank
You know, just to. Just to get out.
Joe
Dude, I love during COVID when, like, bathrooms had that foot pedal.
Frank
Yeah, bring that back. That is a good one. That is a good one. Also, big fan of the places that have the. Like, they have, like, a new opening mechanism where it's like a bar so you can put Your forearm in it. But then like, the angle is weird.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
You've never seen that? You ever seen that?
Joe
Talking about.
Frank
I've seen it before.
Joe
It's on the door. It's like you could put your arm in it.
Frank
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like. It's like a handle. You know how like the handle comes out and comes out like that, but then there's like a bar that goes up. So it's like, you know, you can kind of open it like that. Put your foot in, Skedaddle on out of there. But you are correct, the foot pedal is.
Joe
I love the foot pedal.
Frank
Way better.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
I am not a fan of like when you go to bathrooms and it's all just one bathroom, but just little stalls for like individual people.
Joe
Are you crazy?
Frank
No. Because it's not like. Like anyone could be next to you.
Joe
Yeah, dude. A normal bathroom in Europe, they. They love that. I know it's one door and then you walk in and then it's like a sink and like soap or whatever. And then there's two stalls, separate stalls that are like full doors. But in another bathroom it would just be like the half stalls, which I don't love. If I gotta take a dump in public, I'm already. I want to lose my mind.
Frank
Make. Put me in a room. Dublin, by the way.
Joe
Dump. Dump.
Frank
Dublic is a double. Dublin. I. And also if I go into a public bathroom, whether it be restaurant, bar, anywhere, there better be more than two stalls. There has to be more than two stalls because if someone's pissing right here, I better have the chance to put a barrier. A barrier, A piss barrier in between us. If it's just stall on stall and there's only two, I can't do it. Not that I'm like. It's just like, make it three. Minimum. Minimum. Yeah, you know, I.
Joe
But I like being in my own little room. I think that in the us I don't know why we do this thing where it's like you can see people's feet underneath.
Frank
Bro.
Joe
Put the door to the ground. Put the whole. Put me in a box. There's no reason for this.
Frank
I. I can't really recall the last time I saw like in the US Like a full, like head to toe bathroom stall.
Joe
Or they just do completely separate. Like the whole thing is in one little room. Like, which I. I'm also. I'm on board for that too. But always align for those.
Frank
Yeah, bathrooms are weird. You know how I feel about bathrooms. I'm all over the place. It's funny that you say that you brought up the interaction with the flight attendant on that flight because I like, so I was just like, my stomach was bothering me, I was eager to get home. And I was sitting there and the woman's like, do you want anything to drink? And I was like, no. And she looks at me and she goes. I was like, what? I didn't get it. Like, kill yourself. No, like, I just, she just like. I don't know if she was signaling to someone else, but she was looking at me.
Joe
But she was like, oh, you was.
Frank
Like, but, but like you could hear me because you know how like, like weird like plane sound. Like you just can't really hear that well. Yeah, but I said, I was just like, I can hear her. Well, I was just like, no. She's like, no, you're good. I was like, no. And she goes, I was like, what?
Joe
Shoulder. Shoulder. She cut her neck, bro.
Frank
Well, she didn't go like the undertaker, you know, she wasn't doing that. But she did like the, you know, like the, like this, you know who this. At you.
Joe
What did you say or do?
Frank
I was just like, I crumbled, honestly.
Joe
You, like, froze.
Frank
I didn't know what to do. I was like, oh, that's so weird. It was just a weird inner. I don't know if she was upset that I didn't want to drink. Do you ever order a drink because you're worried if they're going to get like offended that you don't get one on a plane?
Joe
Yeah, no.
Frank
Okay, me neither. But I just didn't know like, you do. No, I'm just saying, like, they're like doing their job and it's just like, well, I paid for this, so I might as well get a water or something, you know?
Joe
Yeah, I mean, sometimes they'll do like, oh, do you want your meal? And I'm like, no, because, like, either I'll eat in the airport. So I'm just like, I'm not gonna eat on this plane, bro.
Frank
First of all, anytime there's a meal offered, like for free, included with my seat, I'm getting it because I paid for it. I'm sorry, that's my mentality. It's just like, I paid for it. I'm gonna get it. It's gonna suck. Yeah, but I'm gonna get it. The guy next to me on the way to Scotland, first of all, sits down next to me, immediately opens like an old timey, like, you know how like women in the 70s would keep their yeah, yeah.
Joe
It's got a powder on it.
Frank
It's like a metal case.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
You know what I'm talking about? Opens that. Just pills thrown about. And here's the thing. Damn. People take pills. That's on them. But these were not all the same pills. They were all different pills that, like. I can't look at a pill and tell you what it is. I know there are people that can. But, like, it was like four different types of pills. And he just went like this.
Joe
But it was just a potpourri of pills.
Frank
And he. Yeah, dude. And he just took them. And how many he. Whatever you could fit in this.
Joe
He just clawed it.
Frank
He clawed it, took him, swallowed him, passed out, and then put his hood up and went to sleep. Then I don't know who this guy was, but I was thinking, like, this guy might be somebody because he's kind of doing this with a lot of confidence. Then he goes. She goes, you want your meal? He doesn't even say yes or no. He said, I'm going to sleep. Keep it warm for me when I wake up.
Joe
What?
Frank
What?
Joe
What? Is this your wife?
Frank
You're so. What are you talking about? I was blown away because I couldn't even believe the gall to speak to someone like that.
Joe
Was it even an option?
Frank
It happened.
Joe
It was fucking keep it warm for me.
Frank
7:30, when we got breakfast on that red eye, out comes tortellini.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
And I was like, how did this guy fucking finagle this whole situation?
Joe
8:00Am he's eating the short rib from last night.
Frank
Yeah, dude, I was so confused. I didn't know. Honestly, I thought being on a plane, it's just like, you're. You're. You're in our confines. You do what we're telling you you can do. Yeah.
Joe
Like, your shit will come when we bring it out.
Frank
Well, like, you go to a restaurant and like, you could be like, I want this, I want that. You know, hold this. Or da, da, da, da. This guy was making edits to his order. I was just like, this is nuts. I didn't know you could do this in the sky.
Joe
You're just at a restaurant, you're like, yeah, I'll have this, this, and this. Bring it in two hours.
Frank
Basically what he did. But also, like, when I wake up, bro, if I'm a flight attendant, I'm not paying attention to when you're awake or not.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
I'm just gonna see you and be like, you're another person on this flight.
Joe
The plane is one of the places the Plane and the gym are. Are the two places that I'm noticing that I've become very agitated by people where. Like, when people are just so oblivious and it's like you're clearly not thinking you're in a public place.
Frank
Yeah.
Joe
Like, you're the only person here and you're just doing all these things. There's a guy that goes to my gym, and it's an apartment building gym, it's not even a public gym. And he shows up in, like, jeans and he, like, trains some dude, I don't. I guess, or something. But he'll have like a coffee and his keys and his wallet, and he'll just like, leave it everywhere and, like, on the bench or whatever. And it's like they're not even using it. And I'm like, bro, how. And talking mad loud. Yeah, it's like, bro, how.
Frank
Realize. Can I ask you, how old is this person?
Joe
He looks like he's like late 30s.
Frank
Oh, that's worse.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
I was going to say that sounds pretty in line with what you expect from like, someone in, like, their late 40s, early to mid-50s, maybe even 60s, because they just, they. It's their world. We're just fucking living in it, you know. But like, late 30s is a bit nuts.
Joe
Or like, people get on a flight and they'll make an announcement, like, before you board, and they're like, it's a full flight and if you're in these rows, then you're gonna have to like, you know, check your bag or whatever the fuck, you know. Sometimes they make announcements like that. And then people get on this plane and they put their bag, their personal item, they start taking off their clothes, then put their clothes up there, and then they. Then they sit down, then in the middle of boarding, will pop back up and take their bag down and then start getting stuff that they need out of their bag and everyone's waiting for you. It's like, bro, get these people out of here.
Frank
I will say, I think that is the. The absolute exact description of just like an entitled American.
Joe
It's horrible, dude.
Frank
It's pretty bad. But it's not, you know, that's not us.
Joe
That's all we could do in Europe. I did notice that, like, there is no rules when deboarding.
Frank
Grab your. Get off.
Joe
Well, also, like, the people like, here, typically, it's like, if the rows ahead of you, there are people sitting down, you wait, they get out, they grab their stuff and they go. In Europe, everyone's flying off that plane and like, I'm trying to pick a time to get in so I could just grab my shit and there's just old people sending it.
Frank
I. Bro, I couldn't believe how easy those flights were in terms of, like, how quick they were. Bro. From the fucking. The first flight we did from Scotland to London, it was just like, we get up, bing, we're gone. We're on our way down.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
You know, like, it's crazy how, like, close everything is.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
But how different a lot of them feel.
Joe
The accents, the fucking architecture, everything.
Frank
Bro. There was. I mean, I. America, we talk about, like, the accents we have in America. I feel like in the. In England alone, there's way more accents than there are.
Joe
Oh, yeah.
Frank
Stuff here, you know, And I can't. I can't do them, so don't even ask me. Joe.
Joe
Oh, Frank. Can you do them?
Frank
No.

Joe
Alright, what is it in Carta?
Frank
You remember Encarta?
Joe
Is that like a browser?
Frank
I think it was like, it was an old Wikipedia like pre, like encyclopedia thing. Encarta 95. Anyone remember that?
Joe
Sounds familiar.
Frank
And then like Netscape.
Joe
I do remember that.
Frank
You know Netscape. Oh, that was before you. You were born what year again? 19, 2004.
Alex
Yeah, something like that.
Joe
Yeah, 19 2000. Need to tell you a story. Oh, I know you're gonna love it. I know you get very scared about.
Frank
You know, how I am then.
Joe
So listen, more alien shit?
Frank
Come on. I don't like alien shit.
Joe
I don't know why this isn't talked about in the news, but there's this alien story is bananas.
Frank
Hold on before you get to this. What did you say before our flight? Because you know how I am before flights, anyone brings something up, I'm like, oh.
Joe
I said, I looked up the turbulence and it was bad.
Frank
Right before we're about to get on our flight, he goes, oh no, it's the day before, whatever. Still, right before, if it made you feel any better.
Joe
And I also omitted this information, I don't know why, because I was afraid that you would be upset that I would even bring up turbulence again.
Frank
I was, but I looked it up.
Joe
The next morning and it looked like they were like, oh, nevermind, it's not gonna be that bad.
Frank
Okay, thank God.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
But also on the flight there was a guy next to me who had like. Oh, like A flight weather thing open and I just saw, I looked over and I saw red. Fuck.
Joe
Wait, he had like a whole computer.
Frank
Yeah, dude.
Joe
Oh, that's.
Frank
And he was like tracking it and. And I was just like, oh God, here we go. All right. Ruin my week with this alien stuff.
Joe
Okay, so I don't know why the news hasn't talked about this or people don't know about it, but like this is wild to me.
Frank
I'm fine, I'm fine not knowing. You know how I am. Ignorance is you don't have a choice.
Joe
The other people do. The CIA. There was a CIA document explained that the alleged aircraft was flying low and quietly above the Soviet a Soviet unit while they were engaged in a training mission. Long story short, Soviet unit. Yeah, like a Soviet, like a, like.
Frank
A, like a Russian plane.
Joe
They were over Russia and the fucking army there. Okay, anyway, shut off my volume. So there was a low flying aircraft over like Russia. Long story short. Shot it down, right?
Frank
Russians don't around man.
Joe
Not at all.
Frank
Oh no.
Joe
So according to the only two soldiers who survived, when the soldiers approached the craft, they shot it down. Five aliens freed themselves of the debris and came close together near the wreck. Moments later, the soldier said the group of aliens merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape wired.
Frank
A spherical shape?
Joe
Yeah, like it, it like became like a orb essentially. So five of them got out, they got close together, became one circular. Dude, okay, you know. And then a new ball like alien began to buzz and hiss before igniting into a brilliant white light. And then 23 out of 25 of these soldiers turned into stone. That's what this thing says. How is no one talking about this turned into stone? Medusa's up there.
Frank
Oh God. Let me be very fucking clear about something. This isn't a bit. This isn't for Hehes Hahas. This isn't for anyone else but me. I hate this. Really. Like in my soul I hate hearing stuff like this. And I was just talking. That's so crazy that you brought this up. I have to fix my hair. I was just talking with my sister in law about this and she's like, why, why don't you like to hear about all this stuff? And I was like, because there's this beautiful little island of ignorance that I live on where it's nice to not hear stuff like this. Because guess what's going to go through my head now tonight?
Joe
Turning into stone.
Frank
That. Waking up and seeing my children and wife as a ball of stone.
Joe
No, no.
Frank
The people I don't Don't. Don't specify.
Joe
Turned into stone poles is what they said.
Frank
Stone poles?
Joe
Yeah, like Sherpa poles. Like, what does that mean, stone poles? Stone pole. Steve Austin. It said the only reason why two of the men survived is because they were standing in a shaded area at the time.
Frank
What the hell does that even mean?
Joe
I think that maybe that just means they were behind a wall or something.
Frank
Oh, my God. Well, then how would they have seen the ball? The rat King of aliens.
Joe
I think they saw, like, the bright light.
Frank
But then how would they know that they formed into a spherical alien ball, bro?
Joe
I don't know.
Frank
Well, first of all, where are you getting this from?
Joe
Daily Mail.
Frank
Daily Mail? You sure this isn't the text thread that you're in with Alex Jones?
Joe
No, but according to the Journal of Applied Physics, it is possible to use high energy radiation or electromagnetic pulses to change normal matter into plasma, a form that is not liquid, solid or gas. CA described aliens as short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes.
Frank
Let me ask you a question. If you're going as far enough to shoot this thing out the sky, why are you even giving them a chance to become an alien ball? Because hear me out here.
Joe
They didn't know they were gonna be an alien ball.
Frank
Hear me out, brother. I'm not Russian. Let's imagine I am. Okay, hold on.
Joe
Okay, go.
Frank
Got it. I shoot this thing. Do your best gun noise. Ready? Three, two. Come on. Give me. Give me a better gun noise. I went with one click, though. Joey. Thank you. Once I walk over and I see something move, guess what I'm doing with the rest of the ammo in the chamber?
Joe
Yeah, it's gone.
Frank
I already went as far enough to shoot this thing out the sky.
Joe
I don't think they knew that what it was yet. And then they saw aliens, bro. Imagine you witnessed this, where five aliens came out of this thing and then just formed into a super Mega one.
Frank
You know, I love Megazords, so I. A part of me is when a.
Joe
Part of you'd be hype. You'd be like, oh, my God, they're turning into. And you.
Frank
No, no, no.
Joe
No sighting. Like old people, Power Ranger episodes. No, that looks just like the 1997 Dr. Ooze or whatever the.
Frank
You're two years off. 1995 is when the movie came out. And Ivan Ooze, he wasn't a doctor, as far as we know. I'm just saying.
Joe
That's so crazy.
Frank
I'm just saying. I wouldn't even give bro the Moment I saw this thing start to move, I'm shooting again. I'm not giving it a chance to form a ball with its boys, dude.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
I'm not giving it a chance. And then they were like. It started buzzing and hissing. Guess what that ball of alien is getting?
Joe
Hissing.
Frank
More bullets. Yeah, yeah, bro. Anything hisses at me, my immediate reaction is to kick it at least. Dude, there's no way. No God damn way. I am fine. But, bro, there are so many stories that come out, and it's just like.
Joe
The government's hiding it from you.
Frank
They don't want you to know the truth. You know why they do that? What do they say in the movies? We gotta protect the people. If they panic, it'll be chaos. You know who those people are?
Joe
Bing.
Frank
This guy right here. I don't wanna know. If they're just like, oh, it's like a mass conspiracy to cover up aliens turning into a big gooey ball of alien bros and. And turning people into stone poles. You think I want that information? You think I need that information? No. Let me go forever.
Joe
What do you tell the families he died. He was. He's. I mean, he's here.
Frank
I mean, enough of movies or stuff where they're just like, he died in combat, you know, We. We didn't recover his body. When, like, the body is.
Joe
Here's a.
Frank
To prop up the fucking construction at a Denny's or something like.
Joe
Yeah, yeah.
Frank
I just. I don't need this. I don't.
Alex
If it takes five of them to turn into a ball and turn me to snow. Snow stone, I think we could take them. It takes five for it to work. You don't think.
Frank
I mean, brother, it doesn't sound like they're just like, we need 23 guys in a flash.
Joe
23 poles, dude.
Frank
Russian guys. I don't know.
Joe
Different guys.
Frank
Listen, I do not know what Russian basic training entails, but I know that it's better than I could imagine it is.
Joe
They are fighting bears, dude.
Frank
Brother, I know he's not Russian. Khabib is from what?
Joe
He's from Dagestan.
Frank
Okay. I don't know.
Joe
I know that's Russian, I believe. Okay, I don't know.
Frank
I didn't know that. You gotta be careful. Those other two are. No, I think for revenge.
Joe
I think Daggers has his own country.
Frank
Okay, but they're out there. Didn't he openly say he fought and trained with bears and shit like that? Yeah, he's from Russia. Okay.
Joe
Yeah, it's a Republic, dude.
Frank
If 23. Well, 25 Russian soldiers can't take down five gooey little fucks. You think I'm even giving this a second thought?
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
I am taking every gun that I can get my hands on and I'm emptying the clip in that direction.
Joe
Dude, speaking of the government, like, lying and stuff, there was also a story about they found the Ark of the Covenant, which I didn't know what that was.
Frank
You had seen Indiana Jones?
Joe
No, I've never seen Indiana Jones. I'd also just. It just sounds like a. I think.
Frank
We'Ve known that for a while. Still baffling. You've never seen an Indiana Jones movie?
Joe
Yeah, I don't know. I do like whips, though. Not like that.
Frank
Oh, God.
Joe
I meant like, you know, like, get that thing off the table of like.
Frank
Get that.
Joe
That sounds like I'm hitting my wife.
Frank
Get that off the table.
Joe
No, like.
Frank
Like his whip, you know, I know what you're talking.
Joe
I've dug a hole. There's no way of getting out now.
Frank
You're digging the hole right down. That's that one. And you're just gonna live in it. It's okay.
Joe
But I do like those whips. They're cool.
Frank
I've cracked an actual whip and they're cool as hell.
Joe
I would never do that. I'd be afraid that I would hit myself in the face.
Frank
I mean, if you crack it this way. But if you just like it and it cracks, brother, that shit makes, like, the legit sound terrifying. I. I just.
Joe
Dude, they found the Ark of the Covenant.
Frank
Well, you. So you've never seen Temp Raiders of the Lost Ark is the one with the Ark of the Covenant. So you don't even know what happens when they finally open it. Wait, what is the Ark of the Covenant?
Joe
I have it pulled up right here. According to Jewish and Christian tradition, the gold plated wooden chest housed the two tablets bearing the Ten Commandments. And there's like some old relics in there and it's believed to be like.
Frank
Oh, so it's a treasure chest.
Joe
What do you call stuff that's like, God lives like his soul is like, holy. No.
Frank
What's godly? Horcrux. Horcrux. Scott, I think. I don't know.
Joe
Like, the word that I was going to use is so not what it is.
Frank
Omniscient. What is that? Because, like, omnipotent means, like, of godlike status.
Joe
I was going to say omnip. Omnipresent, but that's not it.
Frank
I mean, it's kind of maybe, but.
Joe
Like, it's like God. It. It. They. Yeah, it's like God.
Frank
God.
Joe
It's like a. Essentially a hor crux for God, kind of. Yeah.
Frank
Oh, so like, I'm not even.
Joe
No, you're not going to like stab a book and he's going to, you.
Frank
Know, with a basilisk fang or something.
Joe
It probably won't happen.
Frank
But God is just like, that's mine. And then it starts to glow.
Joe
Yeah, but apparently the CAA found it.
Frank
This ca.
Joe
Did I say that? Yeah, the CIA found it and then.
Frank
William Morris picked it up.
Joe
Yeah, they. Apparently they found it by using psychics.
Frank
Bro, stop. What is happening? Fucking cut it out. I'm not.
Joe
This is not funny. It says they conducted experiments as part of the secret project Sun Streak. What?
Frank
So what? They had the Long island medium out there and she's like, ah. Anyone know what this is?
Joe
Anyway, I'm looking for a chest.
Frank
I'm looking for a chest.
Joe
I'm feeling.
Frank
I'm feeling chest over here. I'm feeling chest over here. Something very godlike.
Joe
I just. She's walking in the swimming. She's like, hold on. Big chest. Ten Commandments. I gotta go to the Middle East.
Frank
Wait a sec. Moses. Moses is here. Moses is here. Moses. What do you have to say? Where is it?
Joe
It's somewhere named Mary. Anybody have a mother named Mary?
Frank
It's somewhere where the light doesn't shine. Okay, what is the light not shine? I'm getting darkness, but also light. Could be figurative. Okay? Like, I. I can't. I can't with this shit. Like, I don't think you guys realize what is. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Fiero was on to something. Okay, who the hell is that from? Wicked. Oh, okay. Life is more painless for the brainless. I don't need to know certain things because then I need to grapple with the reality of them. I am very comfortable.
Joe
Yeah, we get it, dude. You don't want to know, but you're gonna. The CIA conducted experiments as part of the secret project Sun Streak, which they never. They name. Never come up with good names, with individuals known as remote viewers. A type of clairvoyant who claimed they could project their consciousness to receive information about faraway objects. So you're telling me they have a three die. This is the Three Eyed Raven. They're like sitting there.
Frank
Oh, shit. Yeah, I guess so.
Joe
And then they're like, going to find this chest, see? You know, like, there's no credible scientific evidence that remote viewing exists.
Frank
This is what happened. But we have no basis off of telling if it happened or not. It's just one person that wears socks on their hands in order to protect them from forever. Chemicals in the oxygen is telling us this so we're going to take it as credit and run with it. What happened to journalism brother? What happened to good old Walter Cronkite is just like, you know what? I'm going to tell them this because I know it's. I am cred. I believe it's true. Who the hell this is? Did he get this from Alex Jones too?
Joe
No.
Frank
Okay, so this is Yahoo. And when has Yahoo ever steered us wrong?
Joe
I mean I haven't been on Yahoo. And God knows how.
Frank
Remember those commercials? Yahoo.
Joe
That's pretty good.
Frank
Was pretty good.
Joe
Individuals opening the container by prying or striking are destroyed by the containers protectors through the use of a power unknown to us.
Frank
Well, so.
Joe
Oh, they have a picture.
Alex
Don't look at it.
Frank
Don't. Yeah, Joey, close that. Don't look at it.
Joe
Don't look at it.
Frank
So you clearly haven't seen Raiders of the Lost Star.
Joe
This isn't a real.
Frank
Close your eyes, Marion.
Joe
Oh, is that a thing? You can't look at it.
Frank
Well, so I mean spoiler for a 50 year old movie at this point I'm not sure exactly when it came out but they, the Nazis find.
Joe
Hold up. The Nazis are involved in Raiders of.
Frank
The Lost Ark is all of Indiana Jones. The bad guys are Nazis except for one where it's a. I don't want to get insensitive but like it's, it's like a, like a witch doctor or something. That's a little. Well there's a little tinge of racism in there.
Joe
Oh, I, I honestly had no idea. I thought he was like fighting old demons or something.
Frank
Well, there's a little bit of that, brother, but it starts with the Nazis. So the Nazis are like, they are going to find something. We are going for Hitler. We are going to find the Ark of the Covenant.
Joe
Did it, did it look like this?
Frank
Yeah, I know, I know what it looks like. I don't need to see it.
Joe
Is it. You're not allowed to see it in the movie.
Frank
So they get it and then he's just like, don't open it. And they're just like vegainto. And then there's a back and forth and then they open it and Indiana Jones says to his lady like yo, close your eyes. And then the ghosts pop out of that thing and fuck them up. Dude.
Joe
Really?
Frank
They fuck these people up. You see people's faces melting and shit. You've never seen that gif.
Joe
No.
Frank
Of the Nazi face melt.
Joe
I must have shocked the Nazi face melt.
Frank
It's like. And the fucking face and everything melts away and shit.
Joe
That's Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Frank
Yeah, dude.
Joe
No.
Frank
And then the second one, the guy shoves his hand in the guy's chest and pulls out his heart.
Joe
I, I honestly have never.
Frank
Do me a favor. I know. Like, I don't know if you are not watching them for any specific reason.
Joe
No, I just haven't.
Frank
You should watch them.
Joe
I mean now at this point I didn't know there was going to be melted Nazis in them.
Frank
Hell yeah, there's melted Nazis all right.
Alex
The best kind.
Joe
And if your face, I mean, you.
Frank
Said it and I agreed with it.
Joe
If your face starts to melt, it's okay because we have ZocDoc.
Frank
No.
Joe
ZocDoc is a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment. Okay, this is what I use. This is what I was using when I first got off of my parents health insurance and I was like, how am I going to find a doctor? I don't know anything. And I did some googling, I found Zocdoc and it's very helpful. All these doctors are patient reviewed so you can see their score at a five, I believe. And you go in, you put in your insurance, you put in which doctor you want to see, whether it be a primary care physician, dermatologist or whatever you need. And you put that in and it'll give you all the doctors in your area and their rating and their next available appointments. And usually you can go like, if you do it early enough you can maybe get same day, maybe the day after, maybe two days, it's not very long. So it's nice. It's a great way to find like either a specialist or a doctor in your area because a lot of the time I think people go off of word of mouth. But if you're out there by yourself and you want to, you know, try and find a doctor in your area that you need something for, you have no recommendations. Zocdoc has got you covered. Okay, but stop putting off all those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoc.com basement to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today. That is Zocdoc.com basement. All right, so go get your stuff done folks. And lastly here we have Simplisafe Simplisafe.

Frank
Not. I'm, I'm not enjoying the conversations about aliens. I'll go light. I'll go light with you. How's this? What is you already. You just dumped all over me. What do you mean I'll go light on you? You just told me that there's balls of alien jizzing together and they're fucking turning people to stone poles. Stone poles will say this. Yep. If I were to die getting turned into a stone pole doesn't sound like the worst way.
Joe
I don't know if I want to be a stone pole. All I'm hearing is stone pole Steve Austin. Every time we say it, I'm like, stone pole. Can you pull up the thing about kfc? Made a fried chicken something.
Frank
Oh, yeah.
Joe
What is it? A toothpaste.
Frank
So yes, I, I saw this. So apparently kfc, which I don't know if we're legally allowed to call Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore. Why There was like a lawsuit years ago. I heard about that. It was just like they had, they got sued because like they couldn't legally call it. Oh. Because it's not Chicken Kentucky or, or something like that. But like they made a fried chicken.
Joe
Flavored toothpaste, which I do like fried chicken.
Frank
I love fried chicken.
Joe
I would try it. No, I've had flavored toothpaste before.
Frank
Yeah, but nothing that's like meat flavored, brother. Yeah, it's like strawberry or mint or bubble Gum. Hell yeah. Now we're talking.
Joe
I used to eat toothpaste when it was like that. Not. I'm not. I know it's not good for me.
Frank
You shouldn't do that.
Joe
But I was young.
Frank
Make sure we all make that very clear. Like the bubble gum. I will say. I. I think it was Crest. They had toothpaste, like kids toothpaste that had, like, little, like little. Little, like, glitter things in it. Yeah. If you had told me it was candy, I would have eaten it with a spoon. Yeah. But I probably would have had some long lasting issues.
Alex
You want to guess the price they're selling this toothpaste at?
Joe
Don't. Don't tell me they're going crazy with it now.
Frank
What's this?
Joe
What is a tube of toothpaste nowadays? Like, how much do you think that costs?
Frank
7 bucks. 6 bucks there for a tube? Yeah.
Alex
He doesn't brush his teeth.
Frank
What is it? What does it cost? You know? Yeah. I think it's, like, more expensive than you think because everything is just giant expensive now.
Joe
I don't know why I reacted that way because I was gonna say six.
Frank
Yeah.
Joe
And you said seven. Eight.
Frank
Six or seven, I would say. You know, and like, that's just like the base stuff now because.
Joe
7, 8, 9.
Frank
There you go. So if you get into the whole, like, you know, like, this is organic charcoal toothpaste, that's gonna make your mouth look whiter than ever.
Joe
You ever see that where people have black toothpaste? I'm like, I can't do it.
Frank
So I tried black mouthwash. Charcoal mouthwash. Stupid.
Joe
Does it make you look like you're throwing. Did you pretend to be, like, a zombie?
Frank
You're like, I pretended I was Danny DeVito the penguin.
Joe
That's a good one.
Frank
Oh, he's just like.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
No, it was gross and disgusting and it was. I didn't. It also, like, it didn't feel like I was cleaning my teeth, if that makes sense.
Joe
What'd it feel like?
Frank
It just felt like I was getting. I was wishing around, whooshing around mud water in my mouth.
Joe
Ew.
Frank
And you know, like, I know it's probably wrong, but, like, you know, like, regular, like Scope or Listerine, they're so. They're so strong that it feels like I'm getting the job done, bro. I could. Yeah, I could. I could breathe ice.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
After one of those. But like, yeah. I didn't like it. I would never do this.
Joe
I would say this toothpaste. If a regular Tube is like, $7, I'm gonna say this one is.
Frank
Well, here's the thing, okay? I think that they know that they have a novelty on their hands, and it's by a company, his mill. I don't even. I've never even heard that one.
Joe
No, I did the same thing, but it's. What's it called? High Smile.
Alex
It's High Smile. Oh, it's a toothpaste.
Frank
I mean, it's spelled hismal.
Joe
Well, there's fries in the way.
Frank
Oh, the fries. Oh, yeah. Okay. His mile. Honestly, that would have been more my guess, but I know I'm wrong. I just want to make that very clear, Right? I'm not the idiot here. I'm the people that spelled it all one word.
Joe
I would do crazy things to that biscuit right now, honestly.
Frank
I'll tell you this. If they just gave me Kentucky Fried Chicken flavored chicken, I'm all about it.
Joe
I would love that. Oh, my God, A bucket of chicken.
Frank
Hell, yeah. I love that.
Joe
Chicken comes in buckets.
Frank
It's clear. It's so American. It's. It hurts.
Joe
Plate is not enough.
Frank
Fill a bucket. Yeah.
Joe
Awesome.
Frank
It's clearly a novelty, so. And it's from a company I've never heard of. I imagine they have, like, more expensive stuff, you know, like, you get, like, now you can buy, like, $20 sticks of deodorant. We're all going. The world is gonna burn itself from the inside out, you know?
Joe
You know when I knew the world was ending? When I went to a Yankee game and they sold sodas that come with a cup with chicken tenders and fries.
Frank
Hey, straw goes through that.
Joe
I was like, we're going down.
Frank
Hey, man, that's just ingenuity.
Joe
It is ingenuity.
Frank
That is just genius, modern ingenuity.
Joe
But I knew it was the beginning of the end when I saw it.
Frank
I'm gonna say this is 14.99.
Alex
Okay, so we have 12.
Joe
15, basically.
Alex
15.
Joe
So don't piss me off.
Alex
They are selling this for $72.
Joe
72.
Frank
No. The limited edition KFC dental kit is available on his miles.
Joe
Click on that thing. It's clickable. I want to know what the fuck is in here.
Frank
Yeah, well, I imagine it's the toothpaste, the toothbrush. So you get. All right, let's see this. This is crazy. What's all those emojis up there for?
Alex
These are the flavors of the toothpaste.
Frank
Oh, they have just wild, crazy toothpaste flavors. So what is that? Blueberry, watermelon. Loving this so far.
Joe
Yes.
Frank
Is that A lion's head.
Joe
I see a lightning bug.
Frank
Yes, that. I figured.
Alex
This. This is sold out electric. Also, I think it is $72, by the way. They just call it the dental kit.
Frank
But the lightning, that's energy flavored.
Joe
Are these people trying to kill us?
Frank
Why are we not dead as a human race yet? Why? How have we made it this far? Energy drink flavored. And it's electric charge. I will say the packaging quality and.
Joe
Yes, we should buy a couple of these. All right, hold on. Is that a fucking tiramisu?
Frank
Below the lightning bolt. Is that a tiramisu? Oh, my God. I'm back. I'm back. Oh, my God.
Joe
Buy it.
Alex
You want to get a couple?
Frank

Alex
Wait, I think it is 13. You guys are right.
Frank
I gotta say. Look at that. Wait. Okay. So. All right, we were right.
Joe
So they're cheap. All right, let's get some.
Frank
Well, the dental kit. The dental kit was 72, so that probably. Can you find out what the dental kit comes with?
Joe
Yo, brushing my teeth with tiramisu.
Frank
Oh, I would kind of hate not loving that. I like it. What?
Joe
Biscoff cookie.
Frank
Oh, Mikey is creaming his jocks right now. Let me tell you what else they got.
Joe
Click on all of them, dude.
Frank
Yeah. We got to see this sherbet. Go to fuck. Go home, bitch. Ice Pop. I don't hate that. Bang Pops. Love Bang Pops.
Joe
What's that?
Frank
Blue raspberry. Okay, but it doesn't. Okay. All right, keep going. Chupa Chups. Chupa Chupa Chupa Chops. Cola.
Joe
I don't know what that is.
Frank
The hell is this? Chupa Chops are like lollipops. I didn't know they had cola.
Alex
I don't know what these things are.
Frank
I mean, we're gonna go through all them. Lychee. I've never had a lychee. Very.
Joe
It's very sweet.
Frank
Oh, okay.
Joe
They're okay.
Alex
Gotcha. These are sold out. Okay.
Frank
All right, let's. Let's see the. Let's see the Bang. The Simpsons Purple Squishy Toothpaste.
Joe
I don't even know what that could mean.
Frank
Yeah. What does it taste like? And also, does it have anything to do with, like, purple ketchup? Because if that's what we're working with, I'm kind of on board here. Pistachio. Poppy. I mean, I'm in for the. Actually, no.
Joe
No.
Frank
No way. Get it out of here.
Alex
Gelato.
Frank
I don't like pistachio flavored stuff. I like pistachios.
Joe
What's that. Is that a cocktail on the bottom row there? Chili mar.
Frank
Joey's gonna shove that up his butt and fucking sit. I'm gonna spray it in. Spray that in his ass. I will say this. This is crazy. That, like, they. I never in a million years would have thought of, like, crazy. Just keep going while I'm talking, Ant while you're at it. Rainbow straps.
Alex
I got excited.
Frank
I'm just saying it's. I never would have.
Joe
Rainbow strap sounds like something else.
Frank
Yeah, I never in a million years would have thought of, like, this flavored. Flavored toothpaste at this level where it's just like, here, have a chile con carne flavored toothpaste.
Joe
I think it's a good idea. Unless it's like, you're. You're. It's not good to put.
Frank
I just. Here's my thing that I'm scared about. What is the. What is getting that flow flavor?
Joe
That's what I mean, that's what's scary.
Frank
Because then when it's just, like, natural flavors or artificial flavoring, it's just like, oh, so you're just eating candy and brushing your teeth with sugar paste at this point.
Joe
They have a. Like a ingredient list or something.
Frank
I don't think you need that flavor list of ingredients.
Joe
Okay. Do we have any, like, red 40s?
Frank
They won't let you click on it. Aqua, sorbitol, glycerin, hydrated silica, xylitol Flavor, aroma. I just.
Joe
Xanthan gum.
Frank
That's not good for you.
Joe
No, I don't. I mean, xanthum gum is, like, fine, but I can't.
Frank
Sea salt, zinc lactate, lime.
Joe
It doesn't look like there's anything too insane.
Frank
I don't know what any of that stuff is, so how can we say that?
Alex
I didn't think what you guys would.
Frank
You're just like, okay, all right, what do we have in here? Priophosphorate, hexane. Daniela sucrose. Oh, they have pilot Fox diploricide.
Joe
Here's the issue.
Frank
I haven't seen anything that I know besides sea salt and water.
Joe
Is that last thing lemonade? Oh, no, never mind.
Frank
I thought it was lemonade. All right, let's see what other flavors. Flavors we got in this bitch. By the way, you said your friend uses this toothpaste?
Alex
Danny?
Frank
Has his teeth not falling out yet? Dude, I don't know. Does he get these flavors or is he just, like, sticks to, like, you know, the missionary of the flavors, which is peppermint.
Joe
What's the cupcake looking one.
Frank
I imagine it's probably just gonna be like birthday cake.
Joe
No, it's like down to the left. You're right there to the left.
Alex
Oh, I see it.
Frank
Mint.
Joe
Oh my God. Go to hell.
Frank
Yo, let me, let me, let me. Shut up. Yeah, you know, hate this. So you're brushing your teeth with poop. Cool. Next. Give me another flavor. I can't believe that this is a real thing in America.
Joe
Gummy bear. But again, what do gummy bears taste like though?
Frank
They taste like they're flavored like over fruit. So like it's orange or cherry or something. So like Gummy Bear.
Joe
I think they're buying a thousand of these.
Frank
Honestly. Should we have an episode where we're just brushing our teeth?
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
Alright, give me another baby frog. Red frog toothpaste.
Joe
Fuck is that? You know what a candy I.
Frank
It's got to be because when they spelled flavor with a U, I knew this was some probably stupid Canadian shit. So it's probably like a. Like it's like a Timmy's candy up there where it's like, oh, have a red frog. They're not British, but like, you know what I'm saying?
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
What is that one? That's just letters.
Alex
Gotcha.
Frank
Strawberry cream. Yoshi toothpaste.
Joe
Doesn't sound too bad.
Frank
This is too much.
Joe
What's the fourth one from the. From the top?
Frank
Like just go line by line. Just go line by line.
Joe
Looks like a lion. What is that?
Frank
That's Chupa Chops. That's the. Yeah, just like. This is too much. Mint bomb. Okay.
Joe
I'm into it. I like mint and I like bombs.
Frank
I don't know where I stand on bombs.
Joe
I'm indifferent about bombs.
Frank
I'm indifferent about bombs.
Joe
The bombs I'm indifferent about.
Frank
You know. Is that a beach ball? What the fuck?
Alex
Yeah, I think it's just a. So this one looks like a donut, this one looks like a donut and this one looks like a donut.
Frank
Cinnamon donut.
Joe
Cinnamon donut.
Frank
Okay. Honestly. I'll say this though, full transparency. That looks like so much is. I have seen some of Becca's like makeup or something that looks like that.
Joe
I don't know where that was going for a second.
Frank
I'm say like the bottle, the packaging. Jesus Christ. Everyone.
Joe
I don't know. Okay. What's the other donut?
Frank
I mean, I imagine it's just another donut flavor. It's glazed donut.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
Okay. And what's the other? Strawberry frosted, probably pink donut. Okay.
Joe
I like the pink donut.
Frank
Give us. Just click on the ones that we haven't seen yet, babe. Pina colada.
Joe
Big fan of that.
Frank
I like the drink. I don't know if I would like the toothpaste.
Joe
I would like it. What's the one that looks like a bunny? What the fuck is that?
Frank
Oh, it's probably gonna be like a collab on like miffy. Yeah, something like that. Sweet apple.
Joe
I don't know. Get some of these toothpaste in here.
Frank
I mean, half of them are. 3/4 of them are sold out.
Joe
Does Danny get like cool flavors? Have you tried them?
Frank
I just asked that. I don't.
Joe
Did you?
Alex
Oh, I tried a red velvet one.
Joe
And what it tastes like, it was.
Frank
Not great because like, here's the thing with toothpaste is like, it's there for a specific job, Bro, I'm gonna brush my teeth with a donut.
Alex
What?
Joe
That you're grown adults and there's a guy upstairs brushing his teeth with like donut flavored shit, right? Like, it's just funny to imagine.
Frank
What's the one that's next to kfc? What's that?
Alex
Just the Simpsons.
Frank
The other side of it.
Alex
Oh, this is the gummy bears.
Joe
Oh, oh, we like ran through all these now. Interesting. I mean, dude, the cinnamon donut, that's coming home with me.
Frank
I mean. No, apparently not. It's sold out everywhere.
Joe
That's cuz it's so good. They did a. They made a big fucking mistake leaving the tiramisu available though.
Frank
Honestly. You got to worry though. Why is it still available? Do people not like it?
Joe
I don't know. But they're about to be sold out.
Frank
I just, I. I hate this. I want to make it clear. Will I try it if. If 10 tubes of it showed up here tomorrow? $1030 worth of toothpaste. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. You're not paying for it, so like, why not? You know, if.
Joe
I don't know, Joey's gonna.
Frank
Honestly, I'm afraid of what would happen to that. Joey will brush his teeth eight times a day if he has that tiramisu toothpaste.
Joe
I'll just be walking into the bathroom.
Frank
Just being like, also 2.1 ounces. That's not a lot. Or 60 grams. Like, that's probably not a lot. It's probably like this big.
Alex
It's about right.
Joe
Yeah.
Frank
Which is just massive.
Joe
It's more than enough, now that I think about it.
Frank
God's name would need anything more. More than that.
Joe
Enough to choke you. Honestly.
Frank
I hate this toothpaste and I hope that the company does well for.
Joe
Itself making massive plug for this company.
Frank
Yeah, by the way. Yeah, his mill, his mile. Listen, if they just happen to send us one of every flavor, even the.
Joe
Ones that are sold out. Don't be cheap.
Frank
Don't be cheap. Miss Smile.
Joe
Mr. Hizmel.
Frank
I wonder like if there's other companies that do this.
Joe
Like if flavor toothpaste.
Frank
Not just flavored toothpaste, but like just something else you wouldn't even think about. Like flavored. Here we go. Copyright so flushable wipes are a big thing. A lot of people don't use them.
Joe
Where are you going?
Frank
Just hear me out, hear me out, hear me out. Flushable wipes, okay, you really shouldn't use them because they're not good. But companies still make them.
Joe
Really?
Frank
Yeah, they're very. There's like. It's known as like. There is no like safe flushable wipe. They all fuck up your system. It's just a matter of how much do it quickly.

Joe
Yeah, yeah.
Frank
You know, the home plumbing, not the human plumbing.
Joe

Frank
I mean, who.
Joe
How many wet wipes have you eaten?
Frank
No, not for eating. For what? What do I need to spell it out for you, Joey?
Joe
You want me to wipe my butt with like a glazed donut? Flavored wet wipe. What am I getting out of that?
Frank
You're walking away with your ass smelling like a glazed donut. I don't think I want that. No, I think I don't need a tiramisu smelling ass. But if you had one, would you be happy?
Joe
I love tiramisu.
Frank
I'm just saying it might not be a necessity, but we as a country clearly have moved past can you to. You should.
Joe
But also like we're saying flavored. It should be scented.
Frank
Scented. Scented. Sure, sure. Okay. Yeah. I mean think about it. What else do we.

Alex
I thought you were going as like a little sexual experience kind of thing.

Joe
Okay. Like wipe my butt.
Frank
Wipe my butt with this tiramisu and then go to town on my lady fingers.
Joe
Like you're.
Frank
You know what I'm talking about.
Joe
And then shove your lady fingers.
Frank
I mean, listen, Frank, be really real. Don't be a character right now. You wouldn't have been hyped.

Frank
That's good. Good. And I support that for them. I'm just saying.
Joe
But like a blue raspberry.
Frank
But, like, what if you could get, like, a sanitary wipe, Right? So, like, before you're about to get hot and heavy and you know your shit's about to get gobbled up on, Right? You're just like, do I go with the red frog or do I go with the glazed donut?
Joe
Right. Which one would you go with?
Frank
I mean, I'm not getting my shit ate.
Joe
Which one would you rather eat? I'm. Cinnamon donut. Cinnamon donut.
Frank
Cinnamon donut on that. Cinnamon donut, you know? Yeah, I hear you. Yeah.
Joe
Yeah, that would be a good one. I just. I tell you what I wouldn't pick, though. Kfc.

Frank
Fast food fish is way worse.
Joe
Yeah. Like a Long John Silver's, bro.
Frank
Even I'm not even. You don't even need to go that far. But, like, if you go to McDonald's and you get a filet o fish, that's so crazy. That's bananas to me.
Joe
I really think that, like, a Long John Silver's should just be like a really big bear trap. And, like, you get in and as soon as you step on the rug, the whole building just collapse and everyone ends. It goes.
Frank
I'm fine with that. Yeah, yeah. Just weed them out, you know? Weed them out from the rest of society.
