Transcript

[Joey]

Welcome back to the base. Welcome back to the basement yard. Frank's petting my dog.

[Frank]

Yeah, I walked in, I didn't expect to see Charlie today. Hairy bastard.

[Joey]

He's getting a haircut.

[Frank]

He's a hairy bastard today. Not a bastard. Technically. I mean, kind of. Technically he is a bastard. A bastard dog.

[Joey]

Refrain from calling him a bastard.

[Frank]

I mean, that's a technical term.

[Joey]

Maybe that's a leg up from the last time when you called him a rat.

[Frank]

I mean, he's not a rat. He is a hairy bastard today.

[Joey]

I love a good.

[Frank]

I love a good belly pat.

[Joey]

Smacking a dog on its ass, I love it.

[Frank]

But no, I think technically he's a bastard like you are.

[Joey]

Like a. In a Game of Thrones way.

[Frank]

Well, bastard means of no. Like father.

[Ant]

Through marriage. Like no marriage.

[Frank]

Oh, I thought it was just like the father dipped out. Like the father's like, I'm out, so. Because his father, who's his dad.

[Joey]

A dog.

[Frank]

Exactly.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

I mean, you are his, you know, his father, his caregiver.

[Joey]

I'm the dad who stepped up.

[Frank]

You're the daddy.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

But he is technically, by all accounts a bastard. And another bastard is ringing the bell right now.

[Joey]

I don't know why there's so many like, bell rings.

[Frank]

There's bastards about.

[Ant]

Can we not just mute that?

[Joey]

I think we could mute it probably.

[Ant]

Yeah. But now it's fun.

[Frank]

I mean, now it's fun.

[Joey]

I don't think they could hear it.

[Frank]

They probably could. Wasn't the bell at one point like a song or something?

[Joey]

It was the Titanic theme song, but

[Frank]

then there was like a. Like an. Under the sea. Like a Little Mermaid one somewhere.

[Joey]

There's a bunch of options that you can make the bell.

[Frank]

Really? Yeah.

[Joey]

Let's do it.

[Frank]

Let's make it.

[Joey]

I'd rather not hear it.

[Frank]

Can I sing something to make it the bell?

[Joey]

No. Why? Certainly not.

[Frank]

Why?

[Joey]

That would be one of the last things I would do.

[Frank]

Do you think anyone has a basement yard ringtone?

[Joey]

No one has a ringtone. Cuz it's 2026. Frank.

[Frank]

I don't like that. I think we should bring back ringtones.

[Joey]

Is your phone ever on loud? Like.

[Frank]

Yes, yes.

[Joey]

Is yours?

[Ant]

Never?

[Joey]

Not really.

[Frank]

And I actually.

[Joey]

67 years.

[Frank]

I don't feel the vibrations. Like, I really, really don't.

[Ant]

Come on.

[Frank]

Yeah, Come on. Good. Yeah, Good vibrations. You know what I'm saying? Come on. Come on.

[Ant]

Careful.

[Frank]

There's some. Yeah, there's some. There's some dicey.

[Joey]

That was around the time.

[Frank]

Dicey stuff.

[Joey]

You Know, he was that throwing punches.

[Frank]

He was. He was throwing something out.

[Joey]

Yeah, he was.

[Frank]

Verbally and physically. Yeah. Now he stays prayed up.

[Joey]

4am you got to be up. You got to be working.

[Frank]

4am to pray for several hours is crazy.

[Joey]

Yeah. Can I say something? Because I wish someone was saying a prayer for me, but I went to the dermatologist two days ago, and the guy saw my penis.

[Frank]

Oh.

[Joey]

Not something I was prepared for.

[Frank]

Yo, you scared the out of me. Say a prayer for me. I went to the dermatologist. I was like, this wouldn't be the time to throw massive ass of news on us.

[Joey]

I meant, like, I wish someone said a prayer and, like, gave me the wish.

[Frank]

I am sure I didn't know my

[Joey]

penis was gonna be on the table.

[Frank]

You know what? I'm, I wonder if, like, you know how, like, like, during, like, what are they called sermons or like, what is it called when, like, church people get together and they, like, talk and pray?

[Joey]

Mass.

[Frank]

Like, do you think during mass, anyone was just like, I, I watched an episode of this podcast, the Basement Yard, and I pray for those young men, and then they, like, they talk about it in, like, the, the mass.

[Joey]

I think anyone that religious is probably turned away by most of the comments you make about religion.

[Frank]

No, I, I, I will stand by. I respect people's choice for their own religious identities. However organized religion is, say it. And has not been kind to people. Just want to throw that out there.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Frank]

You. You want to. You want to be. You be.

[Joey]

You want to be B.

[Frank]

You want to be B. Yeah, but are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. Why did you go to the dermatologist? Well, I thought because I.

[Joey]

My barber found this thing on my head, and I was like, oh, my God, I'm dying. And I went, So I did the same day.

[Frank]

Are you dying?

[Joey]

No, I'm not.

[Frank]

I mean,

[Joey]

yeah, but he. There was this thing in my head, but it's like a birthmark or something. And the guy was like, no, it's. You're fine.

[Frank]

Don't worry about it.

[Joey]

But I didn't. So I was like, I hadn't, I hadn't been to the dermatologist in, like, two years or something like that. So I was like, let me just get a full body scan while I'm here. And, you know, the woman comes in, and she was just, like, asking me some questions. And then she's like, all right, you know, take. Take everything off except your underwear and put on this thing and they give you, like, the paper dress, you know, What? I mean, not flattering.

[Frank]

Why do they do that? At least give me, like, something that

[Joey]

looks cute or like something cloth. Like, I'm wearing, like, a dentist bib on my entire body here. No. And it comes with a belt that you can tie around. But I didn't know what was a

[Frank]

belt of, like, hemp twine.

[Joey]

It was, like, plastic. But I just threw it and I just wore it, and it was just, like, fucked. And then the guy came in and he's, like, checking my body. He's checking my head and whatever. And then he's like. And then he. Simultaneously as he's saying, like, you know, I'm gonna lift your underwear a little bit.

[Frank]

He got.

[Joey]

He stared down the barrel.

[Frank]

Oh, he looked, like, fully, like, went to the aquarium and saw the sharks.

[Joey]

Yes, dude. And I. And I didn't know what was going on because I. I thought that he was maybe gonna look at, like, I don't know, like, my pube area or something.

[Frank]

But then again, honestly, no, now that I think about it, like, that should be, like, heavily inspected. My penis, not your penis. Penises. Yeah. And.

[Joey]

Well, he didn't inspect my penis. Like, he didn't, like, grab my penis.

[Frank]

So. So. So wait a sec. So if he didn't, like, fully do

[Joey]

his job, checking the skin, I guess

[Frank]

around there, he was just looking to just get a sense of what you

[Joey]

were working with, maybe. And I'll tell you what, in that moment, freezing cold room, ice cold dick, and also an unassuming penis. Like, if I knew that my penis was getting looked at, I would have slapped it around a little bit.

[Frank]

Really? Like, you do your nipples, right? Like, you do your nipples.

[Joey]

Yeah. Like, give the nipples a little bit of this.

[Frank]

Did you do your nipple? Did you do your nipples? No. You don't care what this guy thinks about Nicoles?

[Joey]

My nipples are already, like, hard and, like, ready to go, but my penis was just kind of like, oh, we're lamping, you know, it's not. It's just me today. I'm like, I'm off. I'm off duty.

[Frank]

You could have chiseled some marble with that thing.

[Joey]

Yeah. With what thing?

[Frank]

That thing.

[Joey]

My penis?

[Frank]

Yeah. No, in reference to its strength and probably pointy nature.

[Joey]

Why are you saying that?

[Frank]

You said it was cold. So it shrinks and it gets hard. Not hard.

[Joey]

Do you have a penis? What is your experience with the penis?

[Frank]

I'm just saying, like, it gets.

[Joey]

Like, when your penis gets cold, it shrivels up and gets hard.

[Frank]

Well, it's certainly not, like, Constricts? Yes, yes, thank you.

[Ant]

I don't agree. I'm trying to help.

[Frank]

So what happens?

[Joey]

We know what happens to him. What happens to your penis, by the way? I'm sick of this already. Okay, you're coughing heavily.

[Ant]

Well, that's not fair. I'm sick a little.

[Frank]

I'm just. I mean, he's just doing it to

[Joey]

fit in for both angles.

[Frank]

I'm always sick.

[Joey]

You guys are DP sicking me.

[Frank]

Let's. Let's send our coughs his way.

[Ant]

I'm not gonna do that. That feels inappropriate.

[Joey]

So when your penis gets smaller because of temperature.

[Ant]

Temperature.

[Joey]

What happens?

[Ant]

It doesn't get hard, right?

[Frank]

It doesn't get hard. I think it's just dense. Like, all of the penis goes from an area of this to an area of compact.

[Joey]

You know what I mean?

[Frank]

Exactly. It's like a non Newtonian fluid. Like when you. When you. When you let it be, it flows and it's kind of chill. But then once you, like, hit it with something, it's like, oh, so it's

[Joey]

just like the non Newtonian fluid?

[Frank]

Non Newtonian fluid, yeah. Oobleck. Oobleck. Yeah. Yes, yes.

[Joey]

No. But it wasn't like freezing to the point where my penis is like all the way up and kind of like clutching its pearls. It was. It was just kind of laying there and just, you know. And the guy's like, all right, I'm gonna lift your underwear a little bit. And I was like. Then he put it down. He was also very professional. And then he went to the other.

[Frank]

This doesn't sound professional. This sounds like this guy's job.

[Joey]

He's checking my skin.

[Ant]

It's not like. It's not like he went, oh. And he put it back.

[Joey]

Yeah, if he went, I caramba. And then put it down, that would be weird. Especially weird because he was Chinese. But then he went around to the other side and he lifted the. The other side too. So I was like. He got two looks.

[Frank]

Oh, so you got to look at your asshole.

[Joey]

No, no, no, no, no. He wasn't checking my asshole. I mean, he did see at the top of my butt. I mean, cuz he pulled down my.

[Frank]

I feel like if he was really good at what he was trying to get done there.

[Joey]

You don't know how to look. There's. First of all, my asshole.

[Frank]

Listen, it doesn't take a doctor to know how to look at something.

[Joey]

Sure does. I mean, no, that's all of dermatology.

[Frank]

No, it takes a doctor to know what you're looking at. But I am a good. If. If there is a whole. Sorry, I have hiccups.

[Joey]

Yeah. You want to take a break?

[Frank]

If there is a whole class in med school about looking, I would ace

[Joey]

that, because, like, there isn't.

[Frank]

That's what I'm saying is, like, I can just look at something. But, like, in theory, if he is going to be looking in those areas, he should get more of a look than a. He should go.

[Joey]

Well, if there's no. If there's no, like, mole or something there, he doesn't have to look.

[Frank]

But he. He won't see if there's a mole or something there because he can't.

[Joey]

He look. But I have white skin, and moles are, like, brown, so, like, you'll notice it.

[Frank]

You know what? That is a good point. Yeah. Moles stick out like a sore thumb on you.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

So he got a good look. Were you standing or laying?

[Joey]

No, I was laying down on my back. You know, I just stopped talking.

[Frank]

I'm okay.

[Joey]

This gets like, Dumbo. He's fucking burping. He's on the train. What's going on here?

[Frank]

I'm working through it. Don't worry about me. Me, I could get rid of it. Talk YouTube vamp for a sec. I'm going to do it.

[Joey]

Why'd you say vamp? What does that mean?

[Ant]

He's getting rid of hiccups. Yeah, I had. I have a beauty mark on the bottom of my balls. And.

[Frank]

Who was asking about that?

[Joey]

Well, dermatology. I had a story.

[Frank]

Now I know. I mean, I was trying to get rid of my head.

[Joey]

How do you know that if it's on the bottom? I don't know if I see the bottom.

[Frank]

Oh, well, because he can swing them over. Oh, look at it.

[Joey]

Do you have big swinging balls?

[Ant]

No, not really.

[Joey]

But then how do you know it's there?

[Frank]

Well, I saw it. I know how.

[Joey]

A mirror.

[Ant]

I saw it once.

[Frank]

You ever get a mirror and just,

[Joey]

like, look at your thing sometimes Times.

[Ant]

Well, you got it more than once?

[Frank]

No, I think once you see once, you. Once you get a lay of the land, you don't need to map it out anymore.

[Joey]

Frank avoids it.

[Ant]

My point is, I was worried about it, and then one day, when my brother was a baby and I was changing his diaper, I saw the same one with matching ones. It's like, it runs in the family.

[Joey]

Dude, you got to check your dad. Yeah.

[Frank]

You got to check your pops. Yeah, let's check your dad and say, pull him down. Yo.

[Joey]

Put the bottom of your balls on the table. Yeah.

[Frank]

We need to find out. You should. You should have, like, a family, like, male chat. Yeah. Where it's like, you all get an idea of, like, what each other's balls are doing.

[Joey]

Just the bottom of the ball.

[Frank]

Yeah. You don't need to, like, get into, like, dick.

[Joey]

Yeah. We don't need to get into that at all.

[Ant]

So I got rid of your hiccups.

[Frank]

You did. Thank you for that. Wait, so. So he just, like, you standing up and he just goes, good.

[Joey]

No, no, I was. I was laying down.

[Frank]

Oh. So he, like, took a look under the hood, and he was just like, all right, carburetor's running.

[Joey]

Yeah. I mean, the woman told me to leave your underwear on. So I'm assuming, like, all right, my penis doesn't have to be on guard. But then, like, I was.

[Frank]

I wish. Every doctor that I can recall going to in the last decade has told me to get completely naked under the guy gown, and I hate it. I hate every second of it. It is very.

[Joey]

The doctor tells you, like, dump it.

[Frank]

They just say, like, please get completely naked.

[Joey]

Completely is hilarious.

[Frank]

Get fully.

[Joey]

Get completely.

[Frank]

Just get completely 100 naked. Put on this gown that's open in the back.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

I'm just saying I understand that, like, there's reasons for, like, why medical clothing and. And stuff is designed the way that it is. Maybe let's revisit it. It's like the paperclip. It's been designed the same way since the 1910s. We can look at it and try to find a new, more efficient way to go about doing this.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

I don't want to wear the paper. I don't.

[Frank]

I don't. I don't need, like, I don't need my ass to be in the wind.

[Joey]

That's another thing. Like, my butts out here.

[Frank]

They should Medical. They should have more flaps and buttons.

[Joey]

I'm into it.

[Frank]

Like, if. If you.

[Joey]

Velcro, bro.

[Frank]

I love Velcro, brother. Velcro would be incredible.

[Joey]

Yeah. Just like, if the whole thing was made of velcro and it was kind comfortable for me. You just rip open my Velcro, Take a look at my ass, and I didn't staple that thing back on.

[Frank]

Yes. How cool would it be if you go into the doctor and they give you, like, tear away pants like they have in the movies and stuff like that.

[Joey]

Now we're talking.

[Frank]

I had a pair of those in, like, middle school.

[Joey]

I did, too. And I wasn't strong enough back then to rip them Off.

[Frank]

Oh, I was. And let me tell you, they tore. They tore. They tore away. Yeah, yeah, they. I got pants then, like, basically, like,

[Joey]

have you ever been pants and your penis popped out?

[Frank]

Probably, but I can't remember.

[Joey]

[Joey]

How do you not know that?

[Frank]

Yeah. All right. I. I guess I don't. Oh, yeah. Got it. Yeah.

[Joey]

Oh, his penis came out.

[Ant]

Was it.

[Frank]

Well, came out.

[Ant]

Was it a good showing?

[Joey]

No, no, not that. Not that. Like, I don't think that's, like, fair. I don't think the doctor. Yeah, like, oh, this guy. You know, I wasn't ready.

[Frank]

No, I wasn't ready, brother. Dicks are, like, wrestlers. Like, they need to warm up and they need to do some air squats, bro.

[Joey]

LeBron shows up at, like, noon. The game isn't until 8, and he's the greatest. Like, you got to give me some time.

[Frank]

The dick needs some preparation. It needs to know what it's getting into, where, what it's going to do, what the goals are, and then it can perform appropriately.

[Joey]

I'll tell you, this one time, I was at the doctor. This is a true story. This is years ago, right?

[Frank]

I went to the doctor, and he

[Joey]

was shaking my balls. And this is the first time that they've ever done this to me. I was. I was probably. I don't even know. I was like, in high school, and he's checking my balls. I, like, saw my penis retreat. Like, I watched.

[Frank]

You watched it run back into its cave? Yeah.

[Joey]

Like, it was just kind of like, oh, no.

[Frank]

And I had never.

[Joey]

And I still have never seen that. But that was the one time that I'm like, man, this is uncomfortable and cold and, like, it just.

[Ant]

Homer Simpson in the hedges, basically, literally.

[Joey]

And I was like, this is bad. Is this over? Is get me out of here.

[Frank]

That sounds. Dude.

[Joey]

Imagine being a doctor and just holding balls all day. Tough.

[Frank]

I mean, I don't think they're like.

[Joey]

They're there.

[Frank]

They have the, you know, the thought process, like, I'm doing this for a medical reason. Of course they're not like.

[Joey]

But still, you got to hold balls.

[Frank]

We knew someone growing up, I don't know if you remember this, but that said specifically that they wanted to become a gynecologist.

[Joey]

First of all, all the kids we grew up with are fucking idiots. So I don't know how any of

[Frank]

them would say artists of our friends. Me would not be a gynecologist. You know what I mean?

[Joey]

Yeah, I don't. I don't know that we didn't have any doctors in our group.

[Frank]

There were no doctors, which is not surprising. Actually. Kind of is surprising.

[Joey]

What?

[Frank]

That none of our friends, like, just by statistics, got into, like, Dr. Hood.

[Joey]

Dr.

[Frank]

Hood.

[Joey]

Yeah, maybe people we, like, grew up with, but weren't in our immediate friend group.

[Frank]

I'm closer to being a doctor than you.

[Joey]

What does that count for?

[Frank]

Nothing.

[Joey]

All right.

[Frank]

It's just. It is.

[Joey]

It is a.

[Frank]

It is a stone cold.

[Joey]

Are you closer to being a doctor?

[Frank]

Technically, yes. How? I've gone to school.

[Joey]

What does that mean?

[Frank]

I've gotten you. Before you go to med school, you need to get like a pre med degree.

[Joey]

Yeah, but you don't have any knowledge of anything medical.

[Frank]

I have a good amount of medical knowledge, yeah. I think if you class, I mean, if you were to start asking me some stuff, I would probably be able

[Joey]

to give you a run based in like, academic, like the credits you need.

[Ant]

What did you go to school for?

[Frank]

Criminal justice.

[Ant]

Got it.

[Frank]

I mean, there were some. There was some. You know, there were some science courses we had to take in there.

[Joey]

You know, sugar mortis.

[Frank]

That's it. I do know rigor mortis.

[Joey]

So the movie the. The Body Stiffens.

[Frank]

Yes, it does. I mean, that's. That's something to know. You.

[Joey]

I know that.

[Frank]

Well, now you know it because I taught you that. I just said it to you. I was the one that originally on this show taught you about Alger.

[Joey]

Why isn't taught? Am I hearing things?

[Frank]

Come on. Don't spec. See, he's trying to throw me off because he knows I'm proving a great point here. I'm not.

[Joey]

You're saying I taught you that. Now you're doing. No, I'm not. He's talking like a baby.

[Ant]

No, I'm not.

[Frank]

I taught you That I taught you that.

[Joey]

You saying dad now. I know.

[Frank]

I, I, it's just the way that it from you to that is coming out. Talk to you that that was better.

[Joey]

It was. It was. Thank you. I'm glad there's another person here now.

[Frank]

Don't, don't. This is what he tries to do.

[Joey]

Tell me, Dr. Alvarez, how close you are to being a doctor because you studied criminal justice.

[Frank]

I'm not saying that I am close in like, like, relatively speaking, but I am closer in relation to you.

[Joey]

What was the point of saying that?

[Ant]

Nothing.

[Frank]

None. Zero.

[Joey]

Well, there is a point.

[Frank]

It's a show is a point to

[Joey]

saying that and it's because you want to on me.

[Frank]

And that's what's going 100.

[Joey]

Here's what's going to happen from now on. OK?

[Ant]

We're together.

[Frank]

He's getting pissed off.

[Joey]

If we're together. We're on a plane, we're in a restaurant and someone goes down and people are like, is there a doctor in the house? I'll say, hey, he's almost.

[Frank]

What?

[Joey]

He's only all of the credits away from being one. I mean, he took remedial math in college and has a degree in criminal justice. Let him help out.

[Frank]

Excuse me. I took several courses.

[Joey]

He knows rigor mortis. If the guy dies, he knows what it is. Get him.

[Frank]

I took several, several courses in calculus. One, two. First of all, in that situation, there will be a doctor about, there will be a health care professional somewhere there. If it ever got to like the lone survivor situation where it was like I was the closest thing to a doctor I would try to do my best loans.

[Joey]

Are you familiar with loan survivor?

[Frank]

What's that? What's that? What was that? A designated survivor. Excuse me, Sorry.

[Joey]

Survivor is like Navy seals.

[Frank]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Designated survivor, I think is what I'm referencing here. Remember that show with Kiefer Sutherland? I think it was.

[Ant]

Well, Frankie has played Call of Duty, so he's much closer to being a Navy SEAL than.

[Frank]

Oh, yeah, no, no, I've never said that. See, now you're taking. Oh, wow. He's trying to inflict stolen valor upon me. And that's incredibly disrespectful to all the people that have served our country, which thank you for our service, by the way.

[Joey]

Oh, man, you're a.

[Frank]

He said, he said our service. Thank you for our service. He said our service. I didn't mean to. Oops.

[Joey]

He's an Navy seal, but he's a medic because he Studied criminal justice. Thank you for our service.

[Frank]

I mean, let me take a sip before I get the hiccups again.

[Ant]

Oh, sip break. That's new.

[Joey]

I think it's.

[Frank]

It's not a sip. He took a sip. I took a sip.

[Joey]

Oh, man, that was funny.

[Frank]

So. Well, okay, I'm glad to hear.

[Joey]

Have you ever been in a situation where someone's went down and people need a doctor?

[Frank]

Yes. On the flight back from the plane?

[Joey]

Yes. In the air.

[Frank]

Yes. On our way, leaving the Houston. Not Houston, sorry. The Austin shows last year, 2024. We were taking off, and then all of a sudden, as we're, like, climbing, I see people running back.

[Joey]

Oh, no.

[Frank]

And I'm like, fuck. Like. Like running back. Like, what was your thought?

[Joey]

Like, oh, the flight attendants are doing this.

[Frank]

Yeah. And I'm looking back like, fuck. And then I. And then. And then I look over, and they like. Like go like this to, like. There was a. There was a woman in our aisle. They come up to her, and they poke her on the back and they go. You know, I can't hear them because we're climbing. I have my headphones in, and then I, like, look in the aisle, and there's someone laying flat in the aisle.

[Joey]

Oh, my God.

[Frank]

And I'm like, fuck.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

So they. They announced on the.

[Joey]

Be honest. At a part of you go, okay. It's not the engine, thank God.

[Ant]

Of course.

[Frank]

Yeah. And we were leaving Texas, and it was an old white man. There was a part of me that was just saying, like, you know, whoa, dude. Maybe he.

[Joey]

What were you gonna say? Maybe he deserved it. Okay, Josh, gotta give you a little.

[Frank]

No, no, no. So. So we're flying. And then they go, oh, go ahead.

[Ant]

I think he's just preparing.

[Joey]

We're debating whether to cut.

[Frank]

Well, we're in the air, and they. Over the loudspeaker, like, we have a medical emergency. We're gonna have to land in Houston. And I was pissed because you know how much I hate Houston. So we landed, and we had. We had a D board, and we were there for three hours.

[Joey]

Oh.

[Frank]

And then we got back on, and they said there was a medical emergency. A man while we were climbing had lost conscience consciousness, and they couldn't get a. Like, a read on his pulse.

[Joey]

Oh, my God.

[Frank]

And finally, like, once they were. Like, once they were back up, they got him back, too. But then they were like, we have to land at Houston and he has to go to the hospital because, like, we're not. You know, God forbid this were to happen again. While we were, you know, in the air and it was scary. And then like the person that helped him, the medical, like, healthcare professional that helped him, everyone, like, we gave like a round of applause. They got like a complimentary seat in first class.

[Joey]

How do they know that this person was a doctor?

[Frank]

I don't know.

[Joey]

That's to like announce yourself.

[Frank]

I don't know. I don't know if they had like, said something before. I don't know. Like, I don't think, like, you report. Self report that when you like.

[Joey]

I mean, it would make sense. Like maybe if it's on like your boarding pass. Like if you can like, opt in to being like, by the way.

[Frank]

Yeah, like when you book your. Yeah, if you book your. You're like when you book your flight. If you're just like, by the way, I'm like, you check a box or something too. That's terrifying, bro. I was scared.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

And I, you know, the guy, like, seemingly from like when he was leaving, he was conscious. He seemed okay, but.

[Joey]

Is he an old bag?

[Frank]

Yeah, yeah, he was an old. He was an older man.

[Joey]

Like, extremely.

[Frank]

I'm not a good judge of character.

[Joey]

White hair, Bag.

[Frank]

Yeah, all white hair. I would say in the 70s at least, you know. But he seemed to be in good spirit. Like, he gave the thumbs up when he was being wheeled out. Like, so it seemed like he was okay, which. Good.

[Joey]

But like, also like when a player tears their acl. I'm good.

[Frank]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Joey]

Damn. That's terrifying, bro.

[Frank]

That was scary.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

And you know how I am on flights too, so, like, I see that. I'm like, oh, you know, on.

[Joey]

On other people's lives. We talked to a flight attendant and they told us that because we. They kind of talked to us about a lot of things that you don't realize with flight attendants and airplanes and whatever. And then we kind of ask the question of what happens if someone dies on an airplane? Because you have to assume that has happened or it happens every year. I'm assuming.

[Frank]

I think I know this.

[Joey]

And they just put a blanket. Yeah, it's. Dude.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Because they have nowhere to put you. Where they going to? Where are you going to put you in the bathroom.

[Frank]

And to my knowledge, like, the, the like weight distribution and, you know, stuff like that in the plane is very important.

[Joey]

So, like, I don't know if one person's gonna throw off the balance, but like, they just put a thing over you and you're just.

[Frank]

That is banana, bro. If I was sitting, I mean, I. I would Imagine that the airline would compensate the people sitting next to or near that person.

[Joey]

Sure.

[Frank]

But for that flight, too. Oh, my God.

[Joey]

If I gotta fly next to a

[Frank]

dead body, oh, I'm. I'm getting every. I'm getting a hundred thousand miles for free. Are you kidding me? I am riding that to the bank.

[Joey]

Yeah. I got upgraded on a flight recently, and they put me in first class, but they put me in the seat that. That, like, other pilots get when you can, like, close it.

[Frank]

Oh, what? I didn't know that.

[Joey]

Yeah. You. Have you never seen that?

[Frank]

No.

[Joey]

Like, if you've seen people like pilots sometimes on planes, they, like. Well, they're flying back to wherever, so they get on the plane to go home, and they put them in a seat that, like, has a sheet. Not a sheet, but like, it's kind of like. Yeah, like a curtain, essentially, but it, like, locks on either side, so you're kind of like, no one comes near you at all. And I was in that seat, and I was like, two. I was like, I probably should shut this. But I didn't because I was afraid that I would get in trouble.

[Frank]

Yeah, I. I've not really got. The only time I've ever gotten like, something like that is when. Where were we going? I think it's when we were flying to Columbus. They. They said, like, oh, it's a husband and wife. They want to sit next to each other. Do you mind switching with them? And I was like, yeah, sure. No, no problem. And then they were just like, we're giving you free credits. We're giving you that. And I was like, that's very nice, but you know how I am on planes. I get in my seat, I try not to move unless I have to pee because someone made me drink a bunch of mimosas.

[Joey]

First of all, you're the mimosa whore.

[Frank]

I'm not a mimosa whore.

[Joey]

You. You've literally started that twice.

[Frank]

I think on the way to Puerto Rico.

[Joey]

That was completely your fault, I think.

[Frank]

Puerto Rico. I started it, but it was you.

[Joey]

And then the. The fucking flight attendant was an enabler.

[Frank]

Yeah. And I think on the way to Texas, you started it. Texas, when we went for south by Southwest.

[Joey]

Yeah, maybe.

[Frank]

I think that was you.

[Joey]

Probably because Puerto Rico was bad, though. We landed.

[Frank]

We did.

[Joey]

That was a lot. I think we had, like, seven on the plane. That's terrible. That's. Honestly, bad flight attending.

[Frank]

No, I think that's great. Flight attending.

[Joey]

That's a.

[Frank]

That's an incredible.

[Joey]

Cut some people off every once I

[Frank]

mean, but we weren't being loud or stupid or being very quiet.

[Joey]

You were listening to Creed.

[Frank]

I was listening. Taking pictures of you listening to Creed. Right.

[Joey]

Yes. That was the extent of our flight.

[Frank]

Yeah. And then we got there and we. What did we do that first day? We went to dinner.

[Joey]

I know that we. We actually.

[Frank]

Oh, we got a tour, a walking tour of Puerto Rico up to San Juan.

[Joey]

And then we went to. What's that place called? La Factoria. And then we got a drink there, I believe. Remember the place?

[Frank]

Oh, the, like, oldest. One of the oldest bars in the world or something like that.

[Joey]

And then we did go to a

[Frank]

liquor store and we bought a whole bottle of rum. The. Is your phone doing?

[Joey]

My phone just spoke something.

[Frank]

First of all, tell your phone that we're recording an episode of the basement yard.

[Joey]

[Frank]

This is my. This is my tribute. That's what you could say it is. All right.

[Ant]

Tribute. Okay.

[Frank]

Okay, here we go. Seems like yesterday it was a Saturday morning. I was five and trying to escape the boring fox kids. Turn it on the TV right now. Bright and colorful suits.

[Joey]

Wow.

[Frank]

Megazords mean so much to me. Cool weapons and teamwork. So in touch with me. Even though you're gone, I'm still a Ranger forever with Zordon. Never become in strangers. Open up Command center after your place. Heavenly Legacy Unearthing in Space 40 Morphin. Zeo Turbo 2 in Space Lost Galaxy. You know I love you every key I you make every. Sorry, let me start the chorus again. Every k you make, Every yaw you take. Every monster you make every. It's Morphin Time you say I'll be missing you. Thinking of the day.

[Joey]

There's more, there's more where we would

[Frank]

wake up and Play every kia you make Every yawn you take I'll be missing you Listen, I don't know if you guys know this.

[Joey]

I'm just a passenger here. I'm just a passenger. That was your tribute? Yep.

[Frank]

Super Sentai, which was the Japanese program that ran for 50 years, that the footage was used for Power Rangers for decades has come to an end in Japan. And I want to send my condolences to the Super Sentai family. You've given us so much, and we're doing a 7K salute to you.

[Joey]

Are you gonna do seven? What'd you write down?

[Ant]

I wrote down Frankie Tribute Dash Power Rangers. Not a single note was on beat.

[Joey]

Frank, what do you think the beat to that song usually is, by the way? Is that I'll be missing you.

[Frank]

Yes.

[Joey]

That doesn't sound like I'll be missing you.

[Frank]

Really? That's what it sounds like to me. Well, in preparation for this, I. I listened to the instrumental.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

And you know, just wanted to write something to represent, you know, the. The decades.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Of just joy of power ranging and entertainment.

[Joey]

Are you upset that the.

[Frank]

Well, the Power Rangers brain is still alive. Let's make that very clear. I believe that's actually under the control of Disney and it's in good hands. Well, you can make the argument they're trying to revive it and. But Super Sentai, which is what the footage was used. If you ever watch those old, like, Mighty Morphin. Jokes aside, guys, come on. Yeah. Let's get serious. Oh, have you ever watched Mighty Morphin? Like, all, like, the footage of them, like, the monsters and them in the suits. That's archive footage from the Japan show from, like, the, like, 80s or something like that.

[Joey]

Oh, okay.

[Frank]

So. And then they just.

[Joey]

Do they have, like, the Americans.

[Frank]

The American teenagers with attitude, you know?

[Joey]

Right.

[Frank]

And, you know, didn't one of them kill somebody? You know? I don't know.

[Joey]

I think one of them killed.

[Frank]

I know that, like, the original Yellow Ranger, she had passed away, like, very young in car accident, I believe, but I think one of them did porn. I think I saw that porn. Yeah. Like one, like one of the Red Rangers or something did, like, a little,

[Ant]

like, Ricardo Medina Jr. Who's that? Ex Power Ranger. Sentenced to six years. Killing his roommate.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Killed, man.

[Frank]

Really? What does he look like? Is that Rocky? It might be Rocky. What are the Power Rangers, Dude.

[Joey]

What color?

[Frank]

Red. I think he was also blue at a certain point, but I think I

[Ant]

saw a couple Power Rangers boxed not that many years ago.

[Joey]

Really?

[Ant]

During the boxing craze.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Ant]

I think to X Power Rangers.

[Frank]

Well, a lot. A lot of them were, like, legitimate martial artists.

[Joey]

How much to get you to box somebody who, Like, I don't know, like a random YouTuber or some shit.

[Frank]

It would depend on who it is. Like, because if it's someone that I know, I'm gonna get my ass whooped.

[Joey]

Well, what if it was someone that you're like. Like, I'm not afraid of this person, but I'm gonna have my workout. Like, I have to work at it, you know, like. Like a sort of an even match.

[Frank]

I'm trying to think who would be, like, even match for me because I'm pretty strong. Who would be your match?

[Joey]

I have no idea.

[Frank]

Markiplier. That's who you would. That's a. That's. I think that's an even match.

[Joey]

I actually don't even know what he looks. I mean, I know what he looks like, but I don't know, like, how tall or big he is.

[Frank]

I don't know how tall or big he is either. That's a good question. You might want to look that up.

[Joey]

This is about you.

[Ant]

Oh, it's 5:10.

[Joey]

Is he 5:10?

[Frank]

You're only five inches shorter than him.

[Joey]

Like,

[Frank]

I would say. You're not gonna know who this is.

[Ant]

Someone.

[Frank]

Frankie Kebab. I think you'll know who this person is. Scott the Was.

[Joey]

You're right. I have no idea who that is.

[Frank]

He's like a video game reviewer. He talks like video games and does, like, video essays and stuff like that.

[Joey]

Are you a similar size?

[Frank]

I think he's smaller than me, but I just.

[Ant]

You're not boxing this guy.

[Joey]

Is it a pipsqueak?

[Ant]

You want to see Scott the Was? I'm not even.

[Frank]

I'm saying compared.

[Ant]

I'm saying, comparatively to Frank.

[Frank]

No disrespect to Scott the Woz. I love his stuff. But Frank, this looks like Keith.

[Joey]

Keith could watch it.

[Frank]

Does kind of look. But how tall is he? Let's get. Let's get a tail.

[Joey]

The tall is not the issue. It's the. It's the weight classes.

[Frank]

Let's get a tail of the tape on Scott the was.

[Joey]

I mean, he doesn't look small.

[Frank]

He look five five. So. So then what?

[Joey]

He's not five five, is he?

[Ant]

I don't.

[Joey]

First of all, the question is, does Scott the Wasp have scoliosis? Who are you picking, Frank?

[Frank]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Ant]

5 7.

[Joey]

He's 5 7.

[Frank]

So you could box him, Frank. No, I mean, how tall is Mr. Beast?

[Joey]

He's tall.

[Frank]

Really?

[Joey]

He's tall.

[Frank]

Really?

[Joey]

But that's a good answer. Like, that's probably what you would do.

[Ant]

I don't think we could be able to get Mr. Beast.

[Joey]

No, no, I'm.

[Ant]

Well, this is.

[Frank]

No, I mean, we're not. We're definitely not Mr.

[Joey]

Beast. Holy shit. He's 6 5.

[Ant]

No, he's probably 6 3.

[Frank]

No fucking way.

[Joey]

He's tall, dude. He is.

[Ant]

I would say 6:3, bro.

[Frank]

If Mr. Beast is 6:5.

[Joey]

But let's say hypothetically, right, they were like, yo, we want you to box Mr. Beast.

[Frank]

Just before we do that. You do appreciate this. Yep.

[Joey]

Okay. But if they were like, yo, you're gonna box Mr. Beast, how much money would you need? Because you're boxing Mr.

[Frank]

Beast. I mean, it's mister. It's Mr. Beast. I'm asking for a couple. I'm saying at least he's not paying you.

[Joey]

Why not? Why would he pay you? He's boxing.

[Frank]

Oh, who's putting it on?

[Joey]

If.

[Frank]

If they got to pay for Mr. Beast so that. I'm going to ask him to also pay for me.

[Joey]

Yeah, but. But they're gonna negotiate. He's gonna negotiate and get Most.

[Frank]

So what's Mr. Beast getting? He's getting a couple mil.

[Joey]

Frank, I'm asking what's okay for you.

[Frank]

I know I need to know in relation to what Mr. Beast is getting. I need to be somewhere that obviously, obviously, I'm not a Mr.

[Joey]

Beast level, but it's not about that. It's about you guys are coming in separately, so you have to get enough that it would be like, I think

[Ant]

you should just box him for free.

[Frank]

No. Well, that would be boxing Mr.

[Joey]

Beast.

[Frank]

Yeah. I would say, honestly, realistically, $100,000.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Frank]

I think that's fair.

[Joey]

We could get you in the ring of Mr. Beast for 100 GS.

[Frank]

Yeah. I mean, at 6 5, though, he's beating the brakes off me, probably.

[Joey]

I mean, he's not like a big dude. He's like six five, but he's kind of my guy.

[Frank]

Six five, like five inches in that world.

[Joey]

You got a lot of power. I do.

[Frank]

Thank you for saying that. I'm trying to think of other YouTubers.

[Joey]

I. I don't know.

[Frank]

You know who you could. Who's the guy from. From Smosh. Shane.

[Ant]

Shane.

[Frank]

Shane. Joey versus Shane would be an incredible boxing. Joey's took boxing.

[Joey]

How big is Shane?

[Frank]

He's like. I think he's around your height.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Frank]

But he's. He's kind of. He's kind of yoked.

[Joey]

Is he?

[Ant]

Oh, yeah. Five seven.

[Joey]

Five seven.

[Frank]

No, he's a couple inches shorter than you.

[Joey]

Drag him around the ring then.

[Frank]

He's also very nice, so you might be able to, like, guilt him into, like.

[Joey]

Yeah, I could probably gaslight him.

[Frank]

He's got big arms. Look at him. He's not. He's not small.

[Joey]

Quite the photo, Shane.

[Ant]

Yeah, he's got some power.

[Frank]

That's. What an incredible headshot.

[Joey]

No disrespect, just the last name Top.

[Frank]

Oh, yeah. This dude is kind of yoked. Is that real?

[Ant]

Yeah. No, he wore this. I saw this skit.

[Joey]

What is that? Is that a shirt?

[Frank]

I don't know what it is. Dude could. But we don't know.

[Joey]

We don't know.

[Frank]

We don't know if he grew up on the streets of Astoria, New York. Like. True. Yeah.

[Ant]

So.

[Frank]

And I got a little bit of

[Joey]

an animal in me and you. You got a big.

[Frank]

An animal in you.

[Ant]

Would you fight, like, maybe a. What's his name? Dan Hurley. The.

[Frank]

Who's that?

[Ant]

The.

[Joey]

The creator of Hurley.

[Ant]

No, no. Like, bacon. Bacon on everything. The food, Mr. Food.

[Frank]

Epic meal time.

[Ant]

Epic meal time. That guy.

[Joey]

Harley.

[Frank]

Harley.

[Ant]

Harley.

[Frank]

That guy would beat the out of me. Harley.

[Joey]

I know. Harley. He's tall and big.

[Ant]

He's huge.

[Frank]

Yeah, he'd probably whoop my ass.

[Ant]

Maybe not him.

[Joey]

What about. He's a big guy.

[Frank]

I'm trying to think other, like, starting at this fight.

[Joey]

I don't know.

[Frank]

Look up. Just Google popular youtubers and let's go from there.

[Ant]

You want to start that?

[Frank]

All right. I'm not saying I would beat these people up, but, like, in a, like, organized boxing situation. See, it's tough because I watch a lot of. Like, I don't watch a lot of YouTube, but, like, the stuff I do listen to is, like, movie, video game content. Like this. Oh, you know who Joey would do good in a fight with in a boxing match? With Matpat.

[Joey]

Who's that?

[Frank]

You know, Matpat, right?

[Ant]

And Game Theory.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Ant]

Trying to find. I don't know if we could just get, like, a bunch of famous YouTuber pictures here.

[Frank]

I mean, we know that the both Paul brothers would mop the floor with

[Joey]

us at this point.

[Frank]

Like, it wouldn't even be fun.

[Ant]

Fight Ryan from Ryan's World.

[Joey]

Is that a child?

[Frank]

That was a child.

[Ant]

A child.

[Joey]

That was a child.

[Frank]

Are they dead? He's got to be older now. No, he's like. I thought he was dead. No, he's got to be older.

[Ant]

Casey Neistat.

[Joey]

Oh, yeah. That dude runs, like, 10 miles a day. That'd be a tough one. I don't know.

[Frank]

I don't know.

[Ant]

If I could just find pictures here,

[Joey]

I would just beat on his ribs. Casey. Neistat.

[Frank]

Oh, Just rib shots.

[Joey]

Oh.

[Frank]

Like, you're. Like. You said you didn't want to talk about this, and now you're fully telling us how you would go about beating these things.

[Joey]

Casey. You know, also, he's not gonna gas.

[Frank]

Yeah. This is never gonna happen, msg.

[Ant]

Yeah, we've said that before.

[Joey]

Yeah, well, I have no interest in fighting anybody. Not gonna break my nose.

[Frank]

Would if they paid for you and I to fight.

[Joey]

Me versus you.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Oh, my God.

[Ant]

I would. God, how much money I would pay to see it.

[Frank]

I wouldn't do it. What's with.

[Joey]

What's with that?

[Ant]

I just want to see it.

[Joey]

You want to see the world burn you?

[Frank]

Back in the day, we on one,

[Joey]

we beat the shit out of you. How's that?

[Frank]

When we were teenagers, there were kids in our neighborhood that would bring boxing gloves to the park. Park. And, like, we would have, like, boxing match. I mean, you know, they were the dumbest things in the world.

[Joey]

I definitely got my bell rang before at one of those.

[Frank]

There was a kid in our neighborhood that had quick hands. Mikey. He hit me in the stomach once and ruined my day, dude.

[Joey]

This kid was smaller than me, and I was like, yo, let's him up lightning quick. And I, like, jabbed him, and I was like, this is gonna be embarrassing. And then he hit me two times on the side of the head, and I was like, hold on. I'm dizzy. I literally had to stop and be like, oh, speed kills. Yeah, dude.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

What are you gonna do?

[Frank]

He'd beat the brakes off us.

[Joey]

That's so funny. I can't believe you remember that. Yeah, that's great.

[Frank]

He. I remember in PS2 in the park, they were, like, a couple people did matches, and I, like, didn't want to do it, and they were just like, come on. It's. Mikey. It's like, all right. And then he. Yo, he was. He was quick, dude.

[Joey]

That's so funny. Ever boxed?

[Ant]

Put gloves on, But I'm shocked.

[Frank]

This isn't something you and your boys haven't done.

[Joey]

We've put gloves on.

[Frank]

We all.

[Ant]

I watched them all box in the basement. Chaz versus Danny one time.

[Joey]

Oh, Danny sounds rough.

[Ant]

I think Chaz hit him so hard in the stomach, he immediately had to go take a. And it was over.

[Joey]

See, that happens to me, too. Really? Like, if I get punched in the stomach or like, I get nervous, I gotta dump.

[Frank]

Huh.

[Joey]

I think it's just like a. I don't know. Like, it like contracts. I don't know.

[Frank]

We are completely getting off of topic here.

[Joey]

What was the topic?

[Frank]

My. My. My loving, beautiful tribute to the Power Rangers. I think that was.

[Joey]

How much can you possibly say about.

[Frank]

I mean, so much. And I do think that the wordplay was incredible here.

[Joey]

We know you think that.

[Frank]

Seems like yesterday. It was just Saturday morning. I was five, trying to escape the boring.

[Joey]

You just woke up on a Saturday morning and you're bored?

[Frank]

Well, I wanted to escape the boring. So, like, Saturday morning kids cartoons, you know, Megazords mean so much to me.

[Joey]

Still cool.

[Frank]

Weapons, teamwork. So in touch with me.

[Ant]

Me with me.

[Frank]

Well, much to me. Touch to me. Touch with me. Like, it works because of the much in the touch.

[Joey]

Oh, yeah. Yes. You know, the touch means so much to you.

[Frank]

Open up the Command Center. Enter your place.

[Joey]

Whoa, dude.

[Frank]

What?

[Joey]

That's sexual.

[Frank]

Is it?

[Joey]

If you're.

[Frank]

Yeah, I don't think so.

[Joey]

That's.

[Frank]

Heavenly Legacy on Earth and in space.

[Joey]

That is.

[Frank]

It's true.

[Joey]

Where's the word play? These are just words.

[Frank]

Mighty morphin Zeo Turbo 2 in space. Lost Galaxy. You know I love you.

[Joey]

I don't even know what that meant.

[Frank]

Well, those are all different seasons in order, actually, which is kind of impressive, actually. I think I left out Lightspeed Rescue in there. But still, nonetheless, pretty much the much touch, you know, and then every Kia. Just incredible. I mean, listen, I.

[Joey]

What would you say your love language is? Oh, I'm coming over there too.

[Frank]

So you're coming on him?

[Joey]

No, no. I bet I'm gonna swing to you.

[Frank]

I'm gonna write a song. You're gonna swing with him. Oh, my love language. I would say it's physical touch and words of affirmation.

[Joey]

You like words?

[Frank]

I do like words. Nice. They're reassuring to me. Yeah. And I like to be reassured because sometimes you need it. I need it. But definitely, like, love and, you know, hugs and kisses and affection and stuff like that.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

I also like, you know, acts of service.

[Joey]

Well, you can't just pick all of them.

[Frank]

I'm. But, like, I can't pick one.

[Joey]

No, I mean, how many do you get?

[Frank]

If you were to give me what's your main one, I would say if you were to give me out of a hundred percent, I would say I'm 40%. Physical touch.

[Joey]

You just said that was your most.

[Frank]

If you can just listen to Me, Please.

[Ant]

Well, if they break, if the other ones are broken down. 30.

[Frank]

Thank you so much. And then 20, 20, 20. This fucking guy.

[Joey]

Me.

[Frank]

You. Why?

[Joey]

I want to look them up right now.

[Frank]

All right, well, I mean, you know, you could have the person. That is their job.

[Joey]

I know. And as soon as I picked up my laptop, I realized that, and I was like, I do it first.

[Frank]

Do it first.

[Joey]

Yeah. Put up love languages.

[Frank]

What are the love languages?

[Joey]

What's your love language?

[Frank]

We just went from talking about boxing, Scott. The was. Oh, they said

[Ant]

there's five.

[Joey]

Five click.

[Frank]

What are the five love languages?

[Joey]

Wait, it's up there. Oh, no.

[Frank]

All right. It tells you acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch.

[Joey]

If you had to rank them, what's your number one?

[Frank]

Physical touch is a big one for me. I am very affectionate with. With Becca. With, you know, the kids, obviously, like, with the kids, if they, like, don't want it, I don't. Well, with Becca, too. Let me make that very clear. Let me make that very clear.

[Joey]

The kids, if they don't want it, that's fine. Becca. Sorry, Charlie.

[Frank]

I would say physical touch is my, like, big one. And then you said words of affirmation. Words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, receiving gifts. But I love gifts. I love gifts, so that shows you how I feel about all the other stuff.

[Joey]

You love getting gifts?

[Frank]

I do so much.

[Joey]

Do you think that's an appropriate way to receive love?

[Frank]

I'm not saying it's my main one. That's why I put it at the bottom.

[Joey]

I'm saying, like, when you get them, you're like, oh, that makes me feel like this person loves me.

[Frank]

I think that in addition to all those, I think if it was just the only thing that someone was using. No.

[Joey]

Right.

[Frank]

But in addition to these other things that are also these other boxes that are being checked, I think it's. It's a nice. Because it's thoughtful. It's, you know, it's going out of someone's way sometimes in order to get something. And then the monetary aspect of it, I do like it quite a bit, which I think I know yours. Can I guess what yours would be?

[Joey]

Let's see what you got first.

[Ant]

We're ranking them just in an order.

[Frank]

Give it top five.

[Ant]

I don't know. I like receiving gifts. To clarify, is it giving as well?

[Joey]

Are you familiar with the word receiving?

[Ant]

I know, but, like.

[Frank]

Yes, I would say what you're. Yes.

[Joey]

Because I feel like I don't Think so.

[Ant]

I feel like mine would be like, giving. Yeah, giving gift.

[Frank]

Same. Exactly.

[Joey]

That's the way that you receive love is giving gifts.

[Ant]

No, no, that's not what I'm like. I didn't know if these were outward or inward.

[Joey]

These are obviously like.

[Frank]

They have to. This is how.

[Ant]

Okay, so this is inward.

[Frank]

But this goes two ways. This goes two ways because I love giving. Physical touch and getting physical touch.

[Ant]

Yeah, but your language. I always thought it was just.

[Frank]

Well, now.

[Ant]

Now I'm recalibrating. I would put gifts then at the bottom.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Ant]

I think access service at the top. Quality time.

[Joey]

Wait, hold on. Acts of service is number one.

[Ant]

Quality time is number two.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Ant]

Physical touch, words of affirmation and receiving gifts. I don't care to receive gifts.

[Joey]

I like giving.

[Frank]

I do too, but I do like receiving gifts.

[Ant]

I love gifts. I'm not putting that out there. Love gifts for me there. You love gifts.

[Frank]

But I mean, you're not getting anything from us now, bitch.

[Joey]

What's your birthday?

[Ant]

It's passed.

[Frank]

It just passed. We had a whole thing on here for him.

[Joey]

I know.

[Ant]

Okay, we'll kiss later. What's yours?

[Frank]

I think I know. Joey's.

[Joey]

Good.

[Frank]

Joey's is quality time.

[Joey]

That is my number one.

[Frank]

Acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, receiving gifts.

[Joey]

I wouldn't say that. I would say. That's close calling.

[Frank]

I know him. Gifts. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a. Words of affirmation. They're just words. I don't give a fuck.

[Joey]

No, I do like words of affirmation.

[Frank]

That's kind of where I think you

[Joey]

get it wrong, is that I do like quality time. And then probably words of affirmation, information, then acts of service. What's left?

[Frank]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Joey]

Sorry. No, no, no. So quality time. Oh, no. Quality time, physical touch, acts of service, words of affirmation, gifts.

[Frank]

I think, I mean, we all put gifts at the bottom. But I do think that, like, I.

[Joey]

It.

[Frank]

I like receiving gifts, but I also like. Since it's a think that I like, I like to do it. Yeah, more like that's why what he was saying before, like, to me, it goes both ways to like, I love physical touch. I like to receive it. I also love to give it. You know what I mean?

[Joey]

Yeah, but it's.

[Frank]

But it's not.

[Joey]

It's not how you.

[Frank]

But a love show.

[Joey]

Love.

[Frank]

Yes, it is a love. Lang. A language. If you think of the term language, it's. It's something that is.

[Joey]

It says Ways which we would prefer to be shown love.

[Frank]

Like, so how. Like, how do you receive it? Yeah, but who said that? This.

[Joey]

Vag.

[Frank]

Vagdavi.

[Joey]

Yeah. And then you see at the end there, where they have, like, a little.

[Frank]

I know. I'm not. I'm not saying that they're wrong.

[Joey]

Professional psychologist.

[Frank]

All right. I mean, I always interpreted it as, like, it's something that you enjoy, so you also try to give it out, you know, like.

[Joey]

Yeah, I think that kind of goes with that. I mean, it's a love language. They're all, like, positive things in some way, but it's just how you.

[Frank]

Like.

[Joey]

I don't really have a lot of attachment to, like, physical things. That's why, you know, we're very different in, like, you save every card that you have, and, like, you know, you collect a lot of stuff. Like, I don't really have a lot of that. I think that there are certain things that I'll hold on to and, you know, I have meaning in. But, like, the gifts thing, if I. If I didn't receive gifts, it wouldn't. It really. I really wouldn't waver at all as long as the rest of the stuff was there.

[Frank]

Was there. But I do think that receiving gifts, like, in my opinion, all of these things kind of are supposed to work in tandem, and receiving gifts is, in theory, an act of service and, like, a. Not a word of affirmation, but it is an item of affirmation because there is so much more that goes behind the physical item. It could be a. It could be a. Like, it could be a rock, you know, but it's just, like, I saw it. I thought of you, like, there's more behind the gift than just that. What. The actuality of what it is.

[Ant]

Well, receiving gifts is not an act of service. Act of service is like taking something that you don't want to do and they're doing it, or like, a chore that you don't do that they always do or something. It's not. I don't think it's active service, not gifts.

[Joey]

I mean, in this, they, like, obviously they differentiate, so I would assume they're different.

[Ant]

Well, what's a word of affirmation?

[Frank]

Just, like, I love you.

[Ant]

Mm.

[Frank]

Yeah. Just. You're incredible. You mean so much to me.

[Joey]

Positive affirmation.

[Frank]

Yeah. Not, like, negative affirmation.

[Joey]

What's a negative affirmation?

[Frank]

Just, like, you fucking suck, but I'm gonna keep you around, you know?

[Joey]

Yeah, it's gonna be positive.

[Frank]

What are you.

[Joey]

What are you Puzzling. You look puzzled.

[Ant]

It's just interesting. So I feel like, do you need words of affirmation and receiving gifts at that point with the other three?

[Joey]

I think that it would be nice to hear. I think it's just these are all supposed to be positive things, obviously. It's just where some people like to be reassured. And it's like I like hearing it all the time, you know, and it's not that I dislike hearing, you know, words of affirmation, it's just I hold the other stuff in a higher regard than I would then, so. But without one of these completely, aside from gifts, I think that I could, you know, live without that completely. But the other stuff, if you took one of them away, I think it would be like detrimental. Like the dominoes would fall.

[Frank]

Well, there are some people that are very like, they don't like physical touch, you know?

[Joey]

Yeah, there are some people.

[Frank]

There are some people that like, for like acts of service, they're like, no, like, I got it, let me do it. Like, you don't need to do it. Let me be in service to you. So everyone's different. Every ass has a seat, boys. That's what I learned.

[Joey]

Where'd you learn that?

[Frank]

My father.

[Joey]

Don't forget Frank. Every has a seat. I.

[Frank]

Yeah, yeah, that's basically how he. Not but like, he's like, frank, listen. Well, you know what they say. Every ass has a seat. Every ass sits down somewhere.

[Joey]

Do you think that's true? Do you think there's enough chair? Yeah, there's gotta be.

[Frank]

Every ass has a seat.

[Joey]

There's enough chairs in the world to sit everybody. Right.

[Ant]

Maybe not chairs, but enough things to sit on.

[Frank]

God damn. That was sexual. That was crazy.

[Joey]

Yeah, you're talking about penises.

[Frank]

I'm saying every ass is a seat. And it's just like, I mean like it's a. Every ass has a face.

[Joey]

Is a, Is a five seater couch as a face? What does that mean?

[Ant]

I don't even think that's true.

[Frank]

Like, cuz every ass is a seat because you sit in a seat.

[Joey]

Oh, and he's saying, oh, sit on my face things. Yeah, yeah.

[Ant]

Does a couch count as five chairs or one chair?

[Joey]

Not a chair. It's a couch.

[Ant]

That's right Now. So now couches aren't chairs. We're talking about chairs.

[Frank]

Well, if we're getting into like polygamy, then it's like every ass has a whole room of couches.

[Joey]

No one was getting into.

[Ant]

My reference was just couch versus chair. I wasn't Talking about, see, why do

[Frank]

you need to break it down like that? And also the Mets. How about that? Why do you wear that hat around us? Jesus Christ.

[Joey]

Supposed to be words of affirmation here.

[Frank]

Yeah. I'm not giving you.

[Joey]

How do you think you show love

[Frank]

in the ways that I like to receive it? Got him. Yeah.

[Joey]

That wasn't a gotcha. I was asking out of curiosity.

[Frank]

I got him. So good. No, I. I think that the ways in which I like to receive them, my show. And then partnering that with what Becca's love language is. I. You know, because it's meaningful to her. I show attention to whatever her hierarchy of needs are in terms of a relationship, you know, love language wise.

[Joey]

Mm. Who put the heart on your hat, by the way?

[Frank]

That's how it came.

[Joey]

Oh, really?

[Frank]

Yeah.

So as I was saying, you guys talked major shit on one of our recent episodes, so I decided to bring you some Matcha to make you.

[Joey]

You're gonna make Matcha?

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Doesn't that require hot water? Yeah.

[Frank]

What do you think I got here?

[Joey]

Oh, that's hot water.

[Frank]

Yeah, baby. I come prepped and Ready?

[Joey]

Oh, yeah.

[Frank]

And it's still pretty good.

[Joey]

Put your hand on it.

[Ant]

Take a sip.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Ant]

Don't wait. No, no, not actually, because then he's gonna backwash. Yeah, you're gonna back.

[Frank]

I got you. So I got some matcha. So you'll have to start the prayer.

[Joey]

What's the. What's up?

[Frank]

Look at it. Look at how. Look at how beautiful this is. Because you guys talk so much and I hated it. Look at how beautiful and green that is.

[Joey]

It's so green. I actually love that green.

[Frank]

That's so green.

[Joey]

Right?

[Frank]

Can you get it? Can you get again and get a. Can you look at that?

[Joey]

We can see it.

[Frank]

I'm just gonna do a little this.

[Joey]

That's all you need.

[Frank]

It's all you need, baby. It's not much.

[Joey]

Five little dustings.

[Frank]

Well, it's a good amount of dustings in there.

[Ant]

There's a little.

[Joey]

I'm gonna be honest, too. You know I'm gonna be honest.

[Frank]

I know you're gonna. That's what I'm hoping for here.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Frank]

You know, and I got my little.

[Ant]

So does that. Does that container last you 40 years if you only need that much matcha?

[Frank]

No, it's not. And then you go like this. Then you look at. Look at that. Look at how green that is. Yeah, that's green, baby.

[Joey]

Yeah, that'll get you going. It looks like pesto.

[Ant]

Kind of could do some ASMR to the mic, maybe. Actually don't do that.

[Frank]

No. Then you're supposed to add a little more and you're supposed to get it really going.

[Joey]

How often do you do this?

[Frank]

Like, make it? Yeah, every couple days. I don't, like, make it every day.

[Ant]

Doesn't having to do this whole process just make you go, I don't want it?

[Frank]

Oh, why would it do that? It's a nice little like me thing, you know, It's a moment for me. What's so funny?

[Joey]

The way that you're doing it. Why are you doing it so hard?

[Frank]

You're supposed to do that to froth it up.

[Joey]

Oh, you gotta, like, do it mad hard.

[Ant]

Not feeling any love.

[Joey]

Yeah, I'm not. This doesn't feel ceremony good.

[Frank]

Not getting a good froth on this.

[Ant]

But maybe because he had it.

[Joey]

I feel like he's been out the game. He hasn't done that also. I'm gonna come out and say it. That thing that the whisk was on looks like something else.

[Frank]

Like a booty hole plug.

[Joey]

Yep. Am I supposed to drink this? Yeah.

[Frank]

Come on.

[Ant]

Oh, Right from the.

[Frank]

Right from the bowl, baby. That's all you got? And that's a handmade bowl too.

[Joey]

Who made it? You made it.

[Frank]

I made that.

[Joey]

Did you? Yeah. Where?

[Frank]

I went to pottery through some mud with Becca. My name's on the bottom. Hell yeah.

[Joey]

That's cool, Frank. A sea foam.

[Frank]

No, that's the color.

[Joey]

Oh yeah. Did you paint it too?

[Frank]

I did the glaze. Well, like, I picked the color. They did the glaze. Oh, give it a shot. You gotta. That's what it's supposed so stinks, though. It's so good. Stinky.

[Joey]

No, it stinks.

[Frank]

It stinks so good.

[Joey]

It's very green.

[Frank]

That's what it's supposed to be.

[Joey]

I'm not complaining. I'm just making a noise.

[Frank]

Just give it a. Just give it a swirl. Whirl, bang and hurl.

[Joey]

How do I do that?

[Frank]

I don't know. Right. No.

[Joey]

It is barely anything but water.

[Frank]

What? It's like.

[Joey]

Do you want to try it?

[Frank]

I'm not going to drink it. After you s. Boy. Oh, let me try it first, then before. Let me try it first. Let me try it first. Let me get a cup.

[Joey]

Let me get a cup. Here, try it.

[Frank]

I don't know. Barely anything.

[Joey]

Well, I mean, you're. You're making it seem like I'm gonna. Delicious.

[Frank]

Yeah, like talking about idiot.

[Joey]

But you're make it. You're making it seem like that's supposed to be like. That's so different than any other matcha I've ever had.

[Frank]

Well, yeah, because you're probably having not great quality matcha.

[Joey]

No, I'm saying. I'm saying that's similar. He gave you all of it.

[Frank]

Try that, baby. It's good. It'll get you there. It's really tasty.

[Joey]

You don't sound too happy.

[Frank]

Give it a slam. Come on and slam. If you want a jam, I'm back. Come on in.

[Joey]

Try it. Really? What does it smell like to you?

[Frank]

Smells like a worm.

[Joey]

It does smell like a worm, but like it's.

[Frank]

It's like grass and like wormy steamed vegetables.

[Joey]

I get steamed vegetables. Isn't bad.

[Ant]

Try that.

[Frank]

Why are you. Are you a cartoon character?

[Joey]

Are you drinking like a hummingbird.

[Frank]

Like Doug?

[Joey]

Funny.

[Ant]

I'm actually liking it right now.

[Frank]

Got him. Got him. So good.

[Ant]

It could be because I can't really taste well because my nose is stuffy.

[Frank]

Well, you. Hold on.

[Ant]

Don't hate it.

[Joey]

Just to hate it. I mean, I don't like it.

[Ant]

I would never. That's.

[Frank]

That's. I Mean, if you don't like it, whatever. I don't care.

[Joey]

Yeah, we all don't believe that, but it's just like.

[Frank]

It's a nice little pop of green.

[Joey]

I feel like I'm breathing dirt now. Really? Yeah, like I'm breathing it.

[Frank]

Smell this. Like, open it and smell it.

[Joey]

Just throw it.

[Ant]

Yeah, that's easier. The taste is much better than how that currently smelt. And I think that's what's helping.

[Joey]

What, like it smelled awful? Yeah.

[Frank]

Oh, it tasted better than it smelled.

[Ant]

Yeah. And that's helping.

[Frank]

Take the little. Yeah, take that off. I kept it on there.

[Ant]

Whoa. It's foaming. Well, it's like a potion. You see it coming up?

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Like, I feel like.

[Joey]

Am I being like, I'm gonna pass out? You'd be a horrible witch.

[Frank]

I would be a great Fucking be a horrible witch. I'd be great. You wouldn't be a good witch, dude.

[Joey]

Toil, toil. That's a caricature of witches. And that's offensive.

[Frank]

Oh, all right. So I'd just be like a cool, like, hipster from fucking. You know, like, lights, candles and enjoys sage.

[Joey]

What does that smell like?

[Ant]

I need to try this again. When I'm at 100%, I'll bring you watch all day.

[Joey]

This smells like something.

[Frank]

I mean, it's like. It's like steamed vegetables. That's kind of what you get, Brothy. Like a broth.

[Joey]

I could smell a broth, but, like, if there was a raw leg in it.

[Frank]

Well, come on, you know, I mean, how it smells like.

[Joey]

Like a. Like a white person's ear.

[Frank]

See, now how do we even get there?

[Joey]

You know what I mean?

[Frank]

How do we even hat? Like, in what world does that even make any sense?

[Joey]

I just feel like it smells like that. Or like, dirty hair.

[Frank]

Does it even make sense?

[Joey]

Yeah, like a dirty hair or a white person's ear. Maybe a sideburn. Maybe that's like a. Why?

[Frank]

Why are you, like, specifying?

[Joey]

Because I'm smelling like skin.

[Ant]

The smell is way worse than the taste.

[Frank]

How does it smell? Bad.

[Joey]

It's not.

[Frank]

I can't believe you guys. It is. It is truly astonishing to me.

[Joey]

I'm not saying bad. You guys smells like.

[Frank]

So let me guess. It'd be better if it was a dino nugget, you freak.

[Joey]

Dino nuggets are fantastic.

[Frank]

I know. I'm. It's in reference to your, like, vanilla eating style.

[Joey]

You know that's not true.

[Frank]

I know. I do know that's not true. It used to be, though. And to Be clear.

[Ant]

This would be much better if it was a Dino nugget.

[Joey]

I would love.

[Ant]

I would love a Dino.

[Joey]

Fantastic.

[Frank]

Oh, it'd only be cooler if it was a. A dollar five foot long on Italian herbs and cheese. Chicken pizza. Ola Joe specific.

[Joey]

But I haven't had one of those in a while. But I.

[Frank]

You guessed it. Probably shouldn't.

[Joey]

Well, I'm not.

[Frank]

Don't.

[Joey]

What was the other thing? Oh, I used to get a sweet onion. What?

[Ant]

Smells like a baseball field.

[Joey]

You ever been. Yeah.

[Ant]

When's the last time you played baseball? Like on the field?

[Frank]

I love baseball.

[Joey]

But short of the first pitch.

[Frank]

We did. That's right. What was the last time we were. We were in the middle of last

[Joey]

time I was on a diamond. Good question. Let me think. That's true.

[Frank]

In front of 40,000. Yeah. We also nailed it in there, baby. Simultaneously, we fucking crushed.

[Joey]

That was kind of wild.

[Ant]

If that's a real baseball field. I'm talking about kids.

[Joey]

This is like one that like the. The outfields, like, got weeds in it.

[Ant]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Oh, this smells like weeds.

[Ant]

Sure.

[Joey]

Like an unkept garden.

[Frank]

Really?

[Joey]

With like a tire in there. You know, like one of those.

[Frank]

I'm not contributing to that.

[Joey]

Oh, you know what it smells like Poison ivy.

[Frank]

I don't like that. That's not right. And if you're smelling poison ivy, don't. Because it can get in your lungs and it can be very bad for you.

[Joey]

Really. Have you ever.

[Ant]

Have you ever had weeds or vines grow up your wall and you take

[Joey]

it down and you kind of get.

[Frank]

So you guys are just.

[Ant]

As soon as you take it down is what it smells like.

[Joey]

Yo. That's describing amazing ants.

[Frank]

You guys are just describ. Describing greenery, which is.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Which is what that is.

[Joey]

But it's an experience. It smells like the experience.

[Frank]

So you're. So you started with it smells like a white person's sideburns and now you've gone fully into. It smells like removing intrusive vines from the side of a brick building.

[Joey]

But both can be true.

[Frank]

I don't. I don't think so.

[Joey]

I do like the.

[Frank]

The vessel container's nice, right?

[Joey]

Yeah, I do.

[Frank]

I didn't make that one. That one I did not make.

[Joey]

Masterful 30 day shaded.

[Frank]

Yeah, baby. That's the good stuff there. And I made this bowl too. Isn't that nice?

[Joey]

It's a really nice. Is that. Is that for this or you made it just.

[Frank]

I made it. I made it for Matcha.

[Joey]

Oh, nice.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

But you went to the thing where it's like you press on the wheel. Yeah.

[Frank]

Dude.

[Joey]

Is it, like, impossible?

[Frank]

It's hard. There's, like a lot more to it than I thought because I thought I was just gonna go in there, throw some mud and make like a full, like, blown vase or some shit. Yeah, there's actually a lot more skill required to do it, which I didn't know and I didn't expect.

[Joey]

How many things did you make?

[Frank]

I made. I think I made three things and Becca made three things.

[Joey]

Bowls or.

[Frank]

I made a little, like a little flower vase for her.

[Joey]

Like a. Did it go like.

[Frank]

No, it's. It's just. It's a little one. Like, it's meant for, like a single flower.

[Joey]

Oh.

[Frank]

And then I think she made a couple bowls too, and I. And she made me some cups.

[Joey]

She's.

[Frank]

Yo, she fucking threw that shit. And she kind of crushed it. But it was really cool. I would highly recommend going and throwing some mud because then you come out and you got. You're covered in like all like dried up mud.

[Joey]

Then we get to cosplay as like.

[Frank]

Yeah, like construction workers. We get. The cosplay is blue collar men. I like, left there and I was like, oh.

[Joey]

Oh, yeah. You want to put it on your face? Like, oh, I got a little bit on me.

[Frank]

What the hell? Hell, yeah. Rough day on the site?

[Joey]

Yeah. You know, last time you had a black eye, I would love.

[Frank]

I don't think I've ever had a black eye.

[Joey]

I had a bad one once and I was kind of hype about it. Really? Well, I don't like it when it's like a full black eye, but when it starts healing, then it looks cool.

[Frank]

Yeah. Like when it gets like, fat and clothes, I don't like that.

[Joey]

But, like, I just under.

[Frank]

Yeah. I don't think I've ever had a black eye.

[Joey]

I. I got a black eye because I was playing basketball in the morning and it. It was actually Valentine's Day, which is so weird, but it was Valentine's Day and what a lovely day for a black eye. Yeah.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

And I don't know, that sounded weird, but then I got elbowed in the eye, so I had to go to the nurse and my dad had to pick me up. I faked like I had a headache. I knew what I was doing.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

I was like, well, I'm pincushed, I think.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Yeah. I was like, I'm going home. And my dad came into the office and you know how my dad is. He was probably double parked. He Was in a rush, and he

[Frank]

mad the whole time. Yeah.

[Joey]

He came into the. The nurse's office, and I had, like, ice on my eye. And he just walked in. He's like, what happened? Your girlfriend punched you in the face because you didn't buy anything for Valentine's Day? Nurse didn't laugh at all. Didn't crack a smile.

[Frank]

Not a joke. Not a joke at all.

[Joey]

And I was like, yeah, I got a little bit. I got a headache.

[Frank]

Wait, how old were you?

[Joey]

This was seventh grade. Yeah.

[Frank]

Did you have a valentine and.

[Joey]

No. No, I didn't.

[Frank]

You were riding dolo.

[Joey]

Yeah, I was just doly. Just playing ball in the morning.

[Frank]

That's sick.

[Joey]

Did I have a girlfriend in seventh grade?

[Frank]

She was just. Just shooting three pointers for Valentine's Day. You know what I love? This is. This is my dribbling.

[Joey]

Yeah, we can tell.

[Frank]

Nothing's nothing makes me. You know what I love? Sound of a swish.

[Joey]

Yeah. But I had a good black eye for a while.

[Frank]

Yeah, I've never. I've been very lucky. I think I had, like, a real gnarly bruise once on my. On my hand. Oh, my God. Because. Do you remember when we would play manhunt in St. Francis? And I would climb that, like. Like, it was, like an exterior thing that popped out, like, one of the entrance doors in the back.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

I would. I would scale and climb on top of that, and on the floor next to. It was, like, those, like, grates, and I fell one, and I hit my hand straight on one of those grates, and I got a giant bruise in the palm of my hand, dude. So bad.

[Joey]

I didn't even know your palm could bruise.

[Frank]

Yeah, of course. I mean, anywhere you have skin. I mean, I believe.

[Joey]

I guess that's true.

[Frank]

I was led to believe that.

[Joey]

That I was led to believe that.

[Frank]

But, yeah, that sucked. And then I had one from, like, paintball, but, like, that's not the face. No, I got one on the inner thigh.

[Joey]

Oh, that's the dark meat.

[Frank]

Yeah, they shot me close, too. I think I can get here.

[Joey]

Wing ding.

[Frank]

Yeah, close. And, like, physically, they were close.

[Joey]

Oh, wow.

[Frank]

I think I can get hit with paintballs now and not get bruises.

[Joey]

You don't get to decide.

[Ant]

This can't be. This can't be true.

[Joey]

I think he's, like, setting it up.

[Frank]

No, I'm not. I'm dead serious.

[Joey]

41,000. I'll light you up.

[Ant]

It could be real quick. We get one in here.

[Joey]

I mean, you have one. You seem like a paintball.

[Ant]

Guy, I have one. You shot me once, twice.

[Joey]

Have I? Oh, I did shoot you.

[Frank]

45,000. I'll let you guys each shoot me three times with a paintball.

[Joey]

Frank, 5,000 is such a jump. It's insane.

[Frank]

41. I need to put. I need to set a standard.

[Joey]

I know. Shot with a paintball gun. I'll let you shoot me for 41. I don't care.

[Frank]

Okay, see how I set that up?

[Ant]

That was quick.

[Frank]

That was easy. 41,000. I'm shooting you how many times?

[Joey]

I don't know.

[Frank]

41 times.

[Joey]

And you just do what?

[Frank]

Live the tree?

[Joey]

I mean, I'm not gonna agree to that.

[Frank]

I mean, you said I could shoot you, and then I said, yeah, you can. How many? And then you said, like, how about

[Ant]

you both get little duck costumes and I shoot you both.

[Joey]

Duck costumes?

[Frank]

No, because you would. You'd be holding on to some stuff.

[Ant]

No, never.

[Joey]

And you're like, oh, this is double jacked up CO2. So it's gonna come out.

[Frank]

I don't trust you guys because it'll be like, these are fucking paintballs, but they're actually filled with, like, twisted tea. You know what?

[Joey]

Now that I said it, Shoot me in the mouth.

[Frank]

That doesn't sound that bad.

[Joey]

Shoot me in the teeth. 41. Paintball.

[Frank]

41,000. I would say he can bring in a paintball gun and shoot you and I three times each.

[Joey]

I have a feeling that we'd want to be shot more.

[Frank]

Is that weird to say?

[Joey]

Yeah, I feel like that's true, though. How?

[Ant]

I mean, that's fine.

[Frank]

How is that even?

[Joey]

Well, first of all, buddy.

[Ant]

Yes.

[Joey]

You don't get off scot free anymore.

[Frank]

I know people see you.

[Joey]

They could see your eyes.

[Frank]

Yeah. Ever since you installed that camera. Now, I was trying. Now you're part of your. Yeah.

[Ant]

Who's shooting us then?

[Frank]

Oh, that's tough. I mean, we just shoot each other like rock, paper, scissor. I shoot you, you shoot him.

[Joey]

He shoots nothing. A lot of people are talking about Edward Forty Hands.

[Ant]

I couldn't tell you how many messages I got of Edward Forty Hands.

[Joey]

Really, bro? Instantaneously, hundreds.

[Frank]

Really? I didn't know that. I didn't think people would be like,

[Joey]

people like when we get a little bit of.

[Frank]

I got a little drunk.

[Joey]

I got a little drunk. I also haven't had a. I haven't seen a 40 with my eyes. And so do they still exist?

[Frank]

Definitely how you're saying that with a lot of confidence.

[Joey]

I bet I can walk into literally any deli right now and find Google

[Frank]

how much a 40 ounce beer costs.

[Joey]

The money's the issue. Let's do that.

[Frank]

40,000 patrons.

[Joey]

Let's figure out if they're affordable.

[Frank]

Well, I just don't gotta be six bucks. If it's six bucks. That's disgusting.

[Joey]

In a good way.

[Ant]

What are we looking for? Coors, right?

[Joey]

A Coors One or Bud Light. Yeah. What?

[Frank]

This is a joke.

[Ant]

Oh, four bucks.

[Frank]

Wow.

[Joey]

I feel like the price hasn't gone.

[Frank]

It was three. Anyone buys them when we were drinking them, they were three bucks.

[Ant]

So four in between. Four and nine bucks.

[Joey]

When would it be appropriate to have one? You know what I mean?

[Frank]

I don't see any reality where like, unless it's like a two liter of coke. You know what I mean? Like, you get one for like a party. Yeah, but you.

[Joey]

Who does that?

[Frank]

That. I mean, I'm sure they had it

[Joey]

as a bottle beer.

[Frank]

It's a. It's used for a reason. That's crazy, dude. It is crazy. I will say this. I've been disgusted by that. Don't ask me why. Beer tastes better when it comes out of a 40 ounce bottle.

[Joey]

Now he's horny.

[Ant]

Now he's getting excited.

[Frank]

I just. It does.

[Joey]

I had a. I think everything tastes better out of glass.

[Frank]

I. Yes. I recently had a beer. Oh, the Super Bowl. I had a. I cracked open a Miller and I. I took a sip and I audibly went. This tastes like college. Like just that beer in particular at that point just tasted like college.

[Joey]

A Miller Light.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Okay.

[Frank]

It was. It did. It did the trick.

[Joey]

Did the trick.

[Frank]

It did the trick. But I'm surprised that people wanted to see the four. I guess it makes sense. They like seeing us a little. Like.

[Joey]

Like a little? Yeah. Like, he texted me. He was like, have you gotten a lot of messages? I'm like, yeah. Really?

[Frank]

I mean, yeah. That's interesting.

[Joey]

We haven't. That would be a throwback. We haven't done that in 20 years.

[Frank]

It's not been that long, brother. It's not been that long. I've done it maybe 10 years ago. I did it with Espo. I have a picture of him and I doing it like ten years ago. Really? Yeah.

[Joey]

Where?

[Frank]

At my house.

[Joey]

Was that when we were going to your house 10 years ago? No way.

[Frank]

Well, no, we were going to our house 20 years ago.

[Joey]

I have a memory from 20 years ago.

[Frank]

It's disgusting. Yeah, that's really great. Isn't that disgusting of old memories.

[Joey]

Oh, what was that 20 years ago? Like, yeah, we're Gonna get older and be like, oh, that was in the. The early 2000s, and I'm gonna put a bullet between my eyes because that's gonna feel crazy.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

I mean, my parents are like, oh, that was like in the 70s.

[Frank]

Like, we're gonna say that, bro. Next year. Like, I think like 2006, I don't remember as much. 2007, I remember quite vividly. Next year will be 20 years from 2007. And like, that's what I just thought.

[Joey]

That was, like, very similar to our. The.

[Frank]

I'm saying, like, I don't remember 2006 as much as I remember 2007. So next year, when I look back, I'll be like, that was 20 years ago.

[Joey]

Vivid. 20.

[Frank]

Vivid, dude. Vivid.

[Joey]

What happened in 2007?

[Frank]

I just remember, like, it was just such a, like, grade we were going into, not ten. I think it was like tenth grade.

[Joey]

Sophomores. Yeah.

[Frank]

Oh, no. Ninth grade. Tenth grade, maybe. I don't remember.

[Ant]

So, like, high school ninth. Cuz I'm after.

[Frank]

You guys know, because we started. We were in ninth. We started a high school in fall of 2006. And then we. So.

[Joey]

Holy shit. Did we? Yeah, we're old bastards.

[Frank]

Old idiots. Old dummies.

[Joey]

Yeah, dude. My God, that's insane. Ill. I'm disgusted by myself.

[Frank]

So we used to. When my mom would go away for the weekend 20 years ago, drink at my house and play beer pong. Yeah. Isn't that bananas? Yeah.

[Ant]

I don't think I've ever done 40 hands. I've done four local hands.

[Frank]

See, but you guys are so much worse. That is so bad.

[Joey]

You cannot. You could literally hurt yourself.

[Frank]

I haven't had a 4 loco since college. And I. I don't think I ever.

[Joey]

The last time I had them was with you in Connecticut.

[Frank]

I accidentally. Last time I had a 4 loco, I actually. I didn't know it was a 4 loco. I thought it was Powerade because it was in a Powerade bottle. And I chased, like, I like, mixed it with vodka. Oh, my God. Bad night that night.

[Ant]

Hell yeah.

[Frank]

It was not good, brother.

[Joey]

The last time I had a four Loco, me and Josh fought.

[Frank]

Yes, I remember that. Quite vivid.

[Joey]

He started. He punched me right in the face for no reason.

[Frank]

He did. On the dock.

[Joey]

I asked him who he was on the phone with, and he just turned around and slapped me across the face. And I was like, I'm gonna kill him.

[Frank]

Yeah.

[Joey]

Before he was training. So I had the best of him.

[Frank]

Yeah. If there was. If there was a rematch now, it wouldn't it wouldn't be good.

[Joey]

Tell you what, he slaps me in the face. If I asked him on the phone with, I'd be like, you know what? It's probably an important call. I'll turn around and go the other way.

[Frank]

Well, Ant was just saying that he could box Josh and win. Yeah, we should. I remember that. Right.

[Joey]

Yeah.

[Frank]

Interesting, because you should go to.

[Joey]

You should go spar with Josh a little bit. He'll take it easy on you, but he'll definitely throw a knee at you, you know?

[Frank]

Yeah. He'll you up. But you did say that you could beat him in a fight.

[Ant]

I don't know if I said it.

[Joey]

I'm gonna tell your dad.

[Frank]

It's crazy that he's talking about his co workers in such a violent fashion.

[Joey]

I know. And I'm gonna have to talk to HR Just talk to him. All right. Well, Frank, I appreciate you bringing in the ceremonial grade matcha.
