The Basement Yard #544 – Whole Milk Is Back

Released: March 2, 2026 | Hosts: Joe Santagato & Frank Alvarez | Guest: Ant Prisco

---

Episode Theme & Overview

This playful, high-energy episode is quintessential Basement Yard. Joe, Frank, and Ant celebrate the return of “whole milk” in pop culture and riff on everything from nasty milk mishaps to 90s internet nostalgia, viral workout videos, sugary cereals, and being the “smartest” person in the room. Bursting with chaotic humor, friendly banter, and plenty of off-the-cuff confessions, the conversation meanders hilariously between silly challenges and actual social commentary—all in the unmistakable laid-back, raunchy style fans treasure.

Key Discussion Points & Highlights

1. Merch & Memories

• The crew reflects on past tours and the habit of hoarding or passing on show-specific merch.
  • Frank admits he didn’t keep shirts as souvenirs due to space constraints, leading Joe to tease him about being unprepared for adulthood ([01:20]).
  • "You’re gonna get there and have nothing." — Joe ([01:33])

2. The Spoiled Milk Challenge

• The infamous “curdled milk” leftover from a Patreon pastry episode becomes a major bit.
  • Ant Prisco is called out for leaving milk out overnight, and the trio dares each other to sniff the vile concoction.
  • Joe, Frank, and Ant each describe the “lava lamp” texture and the putrid, “ass meets cheese” aroma.
  • Memorable Quotes & Gags:
    • "It smelled way more like ass than cheese.” — Ant ([07:49])
    • "It smells like if someone dragged their foot through human shit.” — Joe ([07:56])
    • "It was so gross that I felt like I couldn’t gag. Is that weird?" — Joe ([08:16])

  • The milk tangent leads into a discussion about the dangers (and not-so-dangers) of spoiled food vs. undercooked chicken ([09:01]).

3. Early Internet Memories & Online Safety

• The group throws back to pre-social-media online spaces: AIM, FunnyJunk, Ebaum’s World, and dangerous chatrooms.
  • Stories about being approached by online predators as teens—Joe’s “heyitsme12303” story and Frank’s “TiffanyDiamond” MySpace encounter ([15:23]).
  • "Let this be very clear... Internet predators are really serious and dangerous... Even your favorite podcaster, dude." — Joe ([19:35])
  • Nostalgia for quirky early sites and pranks, lightly riffing on their own digital pathways ([10:09]-[11:11]).

4. RFK Jr. & Kid Rock’s Viral Whole Milk Workout Video

• The podcast’s centerpiece: a wild breakdown of the viral video featuring RFK Jr. and Kid Rock promoting whole milk and bizarre fitness routines.
  • The trio reacts in real-time, mocking everything from the excessive jeans worn in cold plunges, to the not-so-subtle homoerotic undertones.
  • "No one has ever looked at Kid Rock and gone, 'I wonder what his workout routine is.'" — Joe ([22:18])
  • The hosts struggle to discern the video’s intent, ultimately concluding it's humorously confusing and doesn’t inspire anyone to work out ([26:24]).

  • "If you want to kiss, we'll all accept you..." — Joe on the perceived spin of the video ([26:06])

5. The Great Sugary Cereal Debate

• Fueled by nostalgia, the show dives into a passionate debate over childhood favorites: Kool-Aid, Capri Sun, Hawaiian Punch, Hi-C, and various cereals.
  • The “can Hawaiian Punch even get cold?” debate, hilariously resolved by Googling sugar content and freezing temperature ([34:02]-[35:08]).
  • Shocking statistics about sugar content in cereals—Frosted Flakes, Fruity Pebbles, and Captain Crunch analyzed.
  • "Frosted Mini Wheats and Captain Crunch are the highest." — Ant ([46:37])
  • Multiple hosts admit to rationalizing cereals as “healthy adjacent.”
    • "We've somehow convinced ourselves that sugary cereal is still, in a way, healthy." — Joe ([48:16])
  • Side-banter about the glory days of toy prizes in cereal boxes ([50:21]).

6. Playing the Room's “Smartest” Game

• The hosts good-naturedly argue about who is the smartest, lampooning themselves and each other.
  • Discussing intelligence as more than grades, and the value of knowing when to admit ignorance ([74:09]).
  • "Are you smart? – That’s for other people to decide, I think." — Ant ([74:09])
  • The humorous consensus: all about equal, with Ant’s finance degree hotly debated:
    • "Where did you go to school? — Suck Onies. Suck on my balls University." — Frank & Ant ([77:38])
  • Series of dad jokes and fake college names, culminating in laughter and a bit of raunch.

7. Classic “Bar Trick” Riddle Game

• Ant stumps Joe and Frank with a “how many horses in the stable” riddle, playing on the number of words said after the question ([63:56]-[70:12]).
  • Joe’s frustration provides a recurring source of laughs, culminating in:
    • “Yo, I hate that so much.” — Joe ([70:36])

8. Full-Circle: Nut Jokes and Wrapping Up

• The episode winds down with a slew of “drag ‘em” and “stuff these nuts” jokes, sending the guys into hysterics ([78:00]-[79:22]).

Look at that.

[Frank Albert]

Show it off.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, it's not a little dandry.

[Frank Albert]

It's not. It's not for sale.

[Joe Santagato]

But it's not. It was. It was. It was, but it's not. So eat your heart out.

[Frank Albert]

And Frank is actually drinking, counting that.

[Joe Santagato]

That's the generals.

[Frank Albert]

But I am one of the. Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

You're saying no because it's our shirt.

[Frank Albert]

You don't have just the.

[Joe Santagato]

You have one of these shirts or you don't.

[Frank Albert]

I don't.

[Joe Santagato]

Why? Can I. Could I. I never asked. Can I ask.

[Frank Albert]

Sure.

[Joe Santagato]

Why?

[Frank Albert]

What's the question?

[Joe Santagato]

Like, we went on tour. Yeah. And we had. In our second tour, we had a lot of city specific merch.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

You famously took none of them. I.

[Frank Albert]

You took all.

[Joe Santagato]

Famously took every single thing.

[Frank Albert]

I took like, two. And then I realized I'm gonna have a stack of these shirts as a memory, but I don't really have space for it. I have a lot of storage in my apartment.

[Joe Santagato]

You're gonna get to, like, when you purchase your first. Like, I'm going to live in this home. You're gonna get there and have nothing.

[Frank Albert]

I'll be fine.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, like, I know you'll be okay because.

[Frank Albert]

No, I have. I have things.

[Joe Santagato]

But, like, you have things. Like, I remember one of the most jarring parts. Parts about going from an apartment to a. A house was like, you get into the house and you're like, oh, I have nothing. Like, you basically furnish two rooms.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Your living room, your bedroom.

[Frank Albert]

Well, even that. My living room now is much smaller than I plan on. Like, a house living room.

[Joe Santagato]

That's crazy. This kid's gonna. Yo, please. Like, whenever you go looking for houses, send me the listing so I can see, too. That'd be so sick, dude.

[Frank Albert]

It's not gonna be for a while, I think.

[Joe Santagato]

I think it's probably a Lot closer than you realize. Probably like three years. Someone. Someone here is in trouble. Would you do.

[Ant Prisco]

How do you know it's me? What if it's you?

[Frank Albert]

It's certainly not me.

[Joe Santagato]

It's not him. I would have yelled at him already.

[Ant Prisco]

It's never really him, is it?

[Frank Albert]

Someone.

[Joe Santagato]

So. So we did the pastry on episode on patreon.com the basement yard where we tried pastries from that I brought. That you brought. Thank you so much. But Ant forgot to get rid of the milk and left it out.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God.

[Ant Prisco]

Ew.

[Joe Santagato]

So I can see it curdled from here.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God. That's disgusting. Lava lamp of.

[Joe Santagato]

I told Ant he needs to open it and just take a sniff.

[Ant Prisco]

Why do I have to do that?

[Frank Albert]

Are you gonna sniff it?

[Ant Prisco]

All right, if you sniff it first, I'll sniff it.

[Joe Santagato]

No, you sniff it first and then I'll sniff it second. And then you have to sniff it third. Come on. Solidarity. We're boys. Yeah, but you're.

[Ant Prisco]

Big prank boy.

[Frank Albert]

You got a chance.

[Joe Santagato]

That's why I'm breaking you.

[Frank Albert]

You do it and let me see your reaction.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, yeah. And then we'll do it for sure.

[Joe Santagato]

No, you. You're the one that's in trouble.

[Ant Prisco]

I am promising to do it.

[Joe Santagato]

Well, then you have to do it first, cuz you got in trouble cuz you were a bad boy.

[Frank Albert]

No, if he brings it over there, I know he's gonna gag and I'm. It's gonna. It's gonna.

[Joe Santagato]

I know. That's the best part of it.

[Ant Prisco]

We'll go in order. It's perfect.

[Joe Santagato]

That's a good idea. How did I get roped into this? You got roped in. Look, look, look, look, look.

[Frank Albert]

I used to. I used to.

[Joe Santagato]

That's a lasso which is made of rope.

[Frank Albert]

I. This is like my nightmare. When I was younger. I had this thing with milk where I had to smell every. I mean, still to this day, if I were to drink milk. You know, the reason why that's full is because I opened it on the episode and I smelled it and I didn't really enjoy the smell. So I was like, I'm not drinking.

[Joe Santagato]

And that's when it was good. That's when it was like.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. So now I'm like, now we're in

[Joe Santagato]

a bit of trubby.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

I just think that as Ant was the one that left it out, you're the one that's in trouble, so you should be the one to crack it. Sniff it.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, but you brought it over there.

[Joe Santagato]

That's true. I did.

[Ant Prisco]

It'll go Frankie, then Joe, and then I'll.

[Joe Santagato]

What? What? Guarantees that you're gonna do it? Something tells me you're gonna be a little sneaky. Little. I'm not gonna say it because somehow you got roped into me owing you money. If I say the word, how do I know you're not gonna back down and not actually oblige and take a whiff?

[Ant Prisco]

Well, if he smells it, I'll probably get beat up if I don't smell it.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean. So then if he doesn't, you're not gonna.

[Ant Prisco]

No, I didn't say that either.

[Joe Santagato]

I think that we should.

[Frank Albert]

I feel like I can see in your face that you're kind of gagging already. A little.

[Ant Prisco]

It's like. He's like, yo, it's in my tummy a little.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, I'm not going to talk about.

[Frank Albert]

Tell me, dude, you're 30.

[Ant Prisco]

Stomach, not 30.

[Joe Santagato]

Tell me it up, baby. He goes to Disney enough. He could still use. Tell me.

[Frank Albert]

That's fair.

[Joe Santagato]

I. I won't, like. I won't specify what it was, but we filmed something the other day and I legitimately gagged.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

During someone explaining something.

[Frank Albert]

Right.

[Joe Santagato]

And. And like, I was surprised, cuz nor I have a pretty good stomach. I don't. I don't throw up ever. I. I'm like. I could see things that are kind of gross or like, smell things that are kind of gross, and I'm just like, that's gross. In that moment, it legitimately made me gag. And I was like, that was crazy.

[Frank Albert]

There's your line.

[Joe Santagato]

That's my line. I guess.

[Frank Albert]

Let's see if this does the trick. Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah. You got it.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, it's. It's tight. Oh, my God, it's so gross. It's tight, brother.

[Frank Albert]

Honestly, watching you do this is like, kind of worse for me.

[Ant Prisco]

It's not gonna blow up, right?

[Joe Santagato]

People get it. Could you imagine? It exploded in my face?

[Frank Albert]

I'm not kidding. I'd fucking leave. I'm not.

[Joe Santagato]

I wouldn't record.

[Ant Prisco]

Be a short episode.

[Joe Santagato]

It would be a short episode.

[Frank Albert]

Give it a stink. Give it a stink.

[Joe Santagato]

Stink. I don't think that's the word.

[Frank Albert]

Give it a stink.

[Joe Santagato]

Should I smell the cap or the whole. Should I go nose the milk?

[Ant Prisco]

Definitely smell the cap.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay, here we go.

[Ant Prisco]

Looks like you ready?

[Joe Santagato]

How am I doing this first? When you were the one that.

[Frank Albert]

You love it.

[Joe Santagato]

You relish in it, Frank. Give it a stink now. I'm literally not doing it. Oh, no, we're all. We're all upset now. You're upset now. The. Look at what you took from them, from the people.

[Ant Prisco]

You're edging.

[Frank Albert]

They'll get over it.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm not edging.

[Ant Prisco]

You are edging. You're edging.

[Joe Santagato]

Stop that. I don't like it.

[Frank Albert]

He's already gone on long enough. It's that bad, huh?

[Joe Santagato]

It's so bad. I didn't gag. I'll do it again.

[Frank Albert]

I think you like it.

[Ant Prisco]

What's going.

[Joe Santagato]

I promise.

[Ant Prisco]

Third time. Third time's a charm.

[Joe Santagato]

I think that's bad.

[Ant Prisco]

Third time's a charm.

[Joe Santagato]

All right, I'll third time it up.

[Ant Prisco]

Third time.

[Joe Santagato]

You like it?

[Frank Albert]

Like you.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, I definitely don't, but that's the. Don't, Don't. That's touching. This is so disgusting. Yo, what would he do if I had put a firecracker in there and it exploded?

[Frank Albert]

Hey, man, that'd be the last time you're on this.

[Joe Santagato]

You, too, Giggles.

[Ant Prisco]

Why me?

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, you're giggly.

[Ant Prisco]

That's true.

[Joe Santagato]

Gigglypuff. Over there.

[Ant Prisco]

That's great. I'm going to use that.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God.

[Joe Santagato]

I did two. You do, too. No.

[Frank Albert]

Can I say something? This is so sharp.

[Joe Santagato]

It. Like. It is. It's like a.

[Frank Albert]

Through my fucking nasal cavity.

[Joe Santagato]

What do you think would work better? Smelling salt or that, to wake you up?

[Frank Albert]

Smelling salt.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay. All right.

[Frank Albert]

But also, I would prefer that, because this one's gonna make me, like, projectile vomit out of my sleep.

[Ant Prisco]

They're designed to. Oh, it's actually coming. It'd be funnier if I didn't do it now.

[Joe Santagato]

It would, but if you don't do it, you're in bigger trouble.

[Ant Prisco]

Wow. It looks way more like cheese than I thought.

[Frank Albert]

Just think of it as like it's barata.

[Joe Santagato]

How much for you to take a sip? Joey said he'll pay you.

[Ant Prisco]

No, I can't.

[Joe Santagato]

I can't.

[Frank Albert]

I will literally pay you to not take a sip. Okay, No, I won't.

[Joe Santagato]

Come on, just give it a whiff.

[Ant Prisco]

Sure.

[Frank Albert]

Give it a big one. Don't spill it.

[Ant Prisco]

I'm not going to spill it.

[Joe Santagato]

Whoa.

[Frank Albert]

Dude.

[Ant Prisco]

Dude, it smelled way more like ass than cheese.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, it smells like a raw foot.

[Joe Santagato]

Whoa. It smells like if someone dragged their foot through human shit.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, that was really surprising.

[Joe Santagato]

One more. Hit it back, hit it back, hit it back.

[Frank Albert]

No, no, no.

[Joe Santagato]

Run it back. No, no, don't.

[Frank Albert]

Don't look at him.

[Joe Santagato]

He's gonna explode.

[Ant Prisco]

Thank you.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, God.

[Frank Albert]

God, that's crazy. Wow.

[Ant Prisco]

That was. I feel like your descriptions weren't as.

[Frank Albert]

No, to me.

[Joe Santagato]

It was so sharp.

[Frank Albert]

Like, it.

[Joe Santagato]

It was sharp. It was so gross that I felt like I couldn't gag. Is that weird?

[Frank Albert]

Yes. Okay. I think that it's nasty.

[Joe Santagato]

Like, now that I'm thinking about it, my stomach hurts.

[Frank Albert]

That was one of my fears when I was younger. Like, oh, you know what just happened to me recently? Oh, we were on a shoot recently and I had. I had milk and there was ice in it. You know, like. Like, milk gets really cold. There's like little shards of ice. But, like, the first time that I

[Joe Santagato]

like, you put it down your throat, drank it. Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

The first time that I ever had milk that had, like a ice chunk in it, I thought it was chunky. Oh. And it just, like, came out of me that didn't throw up, but, like, milk was coming out of my mouth.

[Joe Santagato]

I am more afraid of raw chicken than I am raw milk. Like, I mean, the raw milk, first of all, not get into that, like, spoiled milk. Spoiled milk. I feel like it's so easy to look at or be around spoiled milk and just go, oh, that's spoiled. I'm not gonna drink this. But, like, you can see like, a piece of seared chicken and then bite into it, and then it's just raw worm in there.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

That is. Like, I saw once, it was a picture that was like. It's years old at this point from, like, Ebomb's World, but it was like, someone took a bite of, like, a chicken sandwich, and it was just in the middle, just a basically cockadoodle do chicken. Like, that gets me to the point where, like. And then I took a food safety class when I worked for Target, and it just terrified me more. Yeah, dude, like, that is crazy.

[Frank Albert]

I love that, like, every 10 years you get a picture of, like, someone goes to McDonald's, and instead of getting a burger, there's just like a chicken's head. And you're like, how did this.

[Joe Santagato]

I remember that from, like, Funny junk dot com.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, like those.

[Joe Santagato]

You're dropping crazy bombs and funny. It's just for us. It's so funny dating the boys.

[Ant Prisco]

Dating yourself a bit. For sure.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, listen, you guys have funny junk. No shot. No shot. They had funny junk.

[Ant Prisco]

Probably. Probably.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, but he was like. When we were looking at it, he was like five years old. So. Yeah, like, funny junk. The last time I went to that website, see if it's still a website.

[Frank Albert]

Don't look that up. Funny, offensive stuff.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, I wouldn't, I wouldn't.

[Ant Prisco]

I'll do it on my phone.

[Joe Santagato]

Show it on the screen. Yeah, do it on your phone. But, like, it was like the Ebombs world before Ebomb's World. There was all those websites and they had, like, offensive things on them.

[Frank Albert]

I feel like you. You could have been like a.

[Joe Santagato]

A curator.

[Frank Albert]

No, like. What's the word? Like, like a.

[Ant Prisco]

Like a.

[Frank Albert]

Like a Qanon troll. Like, you know, like, if you had, like, a different, like, set of friends, like, I feel like you could. Because you were really into Ebomb's World.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm really trying to wait until you finish before I get angry about, but, like, because this feels like a backhanded compliment. No, no, no. You would be perfect as, like, a 4chan.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Moderator. Yes. Fuck you.

[Ant Prisco]

That's what I mean.

[Joe Santagato]

That sucks. As a thing to say, but, like,

[Frank Albert]

I think, like, you know, you're like. You like Ebomb's World.

[Joe Santagato]

I like Spencer's. Like, yeah, Joey, when I was 17 years old. I know.

[Frank Albert]

That's what I'm saying.

[Joe Santagato]

Even younger than that. I know.

[Frank Albert]

That's why I'm saying, like, it could

[Joe Santagato]

have led to that path, but I'm glad it didn't. Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

That's all I'm saying. I'm saying there was a. There was a.

[Joe Santagato]

There was money in that stuff.

[Frank Albert]

Being a. Being a.

[Joe Santagato]

Being like a moderator on like, a big Reddit thread or 4chan thread or something like that. 8chan. What? I don't even know which ones there are.

[Frank Albert]

There's a bunch of chance.

[Joe Santagato]

The only one I remember is because of the. The documentary they made about QAnon.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

And it was like, a person from, like, Thailand or something like that.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. I mean, I have no idea whether they make money or not. I'm just terrified.

[Joe Santagato]

I feel like if. If we didn't go down this route.

[Frank Albert]

Huh.

[Joe Santagato]

If you're saying that I would be like a. Like a moderator or something like that, which I'm not more of.

[Frank Albert]

Like, what I mean is, like, a troll in a way of like, you would almost like a hacker in a way. Like, you'd be like, a troller.

[Joe Santagato]

The only people that I like one there was. I mean, I love pranks. I do. I love them so much. I feel like I would have gone the route of, like, Jamie Kennedy, like, having a prank show.

[Frank Albert]

Okay. What I'm picturing is, you know that, like, meme of the face that's like, like the sideways face. Yeah. And it just like, pops up randomly.

[Joe Santagato]

Like, I Feel like you could have

[Frank Albert]

went down that road again.

[Joe Santagato]

This feels like it's an insult.

[Frank Albert]

No, no, no, I'm saying, like, you like pranks.

[Joe Santagato]

I do like pranks.

[Frank Albert]

You liked like Ebaum's World. You frequented chat rooms. Let's not forget that you almost as

[Joe Santagato]

a 13 year old looking for companionship. Joey.

[Frank Albert]

Bad place to look, buddy.

[Joe Santagato]

I was fair. That's true. Don't sit here and point it at me like you didn't do the exact same thing.

[Frank Albert]

Whoa. Probably not as much as you. I did do it a couple times.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, who. Who. How are we to measure the, you know, time spent in a chat room? I mean, it's just. We both did it. Yeah. You know, I remember I used to like, because you remember on aim, when you go to a chat room, like, you'd make one for you and your boys.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

And it'd be like, chat room 1-860-43493. I would just take all that away and I just put one and I'd go in there. It was bad.

[Frank Albert]

And you're like, yo, this is the first chat room.

[Joe Santagato]

Well, like, it was like a specific one. And then you'd go in there and it was just not healthy. Like, it was like. It was a petri dish of predators, bro.

[Frank Albert]

It's so weird with the Internet. Like, oh, God, yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Not good. I feel like if I do that

[Frank Albert]

when we were younger, if I.

[Joe Santagato]

Because we were dumb and the Internet was new and no one was policing it as they were like, what's the.

[Frank Albert]

What's the reason why when these things pop up, people are like, I'm gonna put my penis on it. You know, like, it's like you get chat roulette. It's like, well, of course, like, you know, it's. It's made. It's almost my penis on it, though. Like, why is that going through people's minds?

[Joe Santagato]

People. Because they're sick freaks.

[Frank Albert]

It's insane, dude.

[Joe Santagato]

They are sick freaks.

[Frank Albert]

Did you. When Chat rol that first dropped, did you like really get after it on there?

[Joe Santagato]

No, I went on it a couple times, but, like, I was not showing my penis on there. Let's make that abundantly clear.

[Frank Albert]

I would hope not.

[Joe Santagato]

I was going on like, at the time, we were like, maybe what, like, 18 or 19 when it came out.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, maybe a little younger.

[Joe Santagato]

Maybe look up when chat roulette came out. But like, we'd go on there and be like, you hope to see like a group of girls.

[Frank Albert]

And then like, yeah, that ain't happening.

[Joe Santagato]

It Didn't. It didn't. That was, that, that was quickly ru. Ruined by the creeps and pervs on the Internet.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, it was released November 2009, but I don't know if it turned into what it was in a couple years, you know what I mean?

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, it was definitely 2010, 2011,

[Ant Prisco]

so, so, yeah, around that time.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, it was a tough year.

[Joe Santagato]

You ever see the clip of someone like, it's like Kermit the Frog, and it's Kermit the Frog, and it's not really Kermit the Frog, but it's someone pretending to be Kermit the Frog with like a dollar. And he's like, hey, how you doing? And there's like, oh, my God, Kermit. Hey, how are you? And he's like, yeah, fuck, think about this. And he holds up like a green cucumber. Looks like he's like, Kermit. He's like, yeah, no. What do you think, whore? Yeah. Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

No. Just ruining our childhood. One, one thing at a time.

[Joe Santagato]

We were probably victims of predators at some point

[Frank Albert]

for sure.

[Joe Santagato]

I know I was.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, I know I was too.

[Joe Santagato]

I definitely know.

[Frank Albert]

I tell the infamous story about Tiffany

[Joe Santagato]

diamond and mine was, hey, it's me, 12303.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, that one was. See, that one was a little different. You know, there was a woman with large breasts sending probably 14, 13 year old me messages on MySpace and I'm like, she loves me.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. I mean, Tiffany diamond, you should, that immediately should have rang a bell. Like 12, though. Yeah, but like, you're not a completed unit.

[Frank Albert]

I saw giant boobs and I was like, I think that she thinks I'm hot. I was 12.

[Joe Santagato]

She asked for ASL and you. And what did you say? I don't really give 12.

[Frank Albert]

I didn't give any information. It just. My mom saw it.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

She wasn't happy.

[Joe Santagato]

No.

[Frank Albert]

Because she saw the news.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Then I was like, that doesn't happen.

[Joe Santagato]

And then it was, it was happening at the time had was was going to happen, you know, like it was a thing.

[Frank Albert]

She never got anything out of me. Don't worry.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. Like all these people. Like, I never, like, sent anything to me, you know, like, I never, like, told him my real name or, like, like how to find me or anything like that. Because that would have been a problem. What was the deal with the hates me? 1, 2, 3. Like, was it a guy? I don't know what it was. I, I, I, I had no idea at this point. Like, it could have Been anything, anyone. And you've never heard this story, right?

[Ant Prisco]

I don't believe so.

[Frank Albert]

We.

[Joe Santagato]

We would for, like on. On aol Instant messenger, better known as aim. Did you have a screen name?

[Ant Prisco]

I don't remember.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, bro, you're a liar. Wait, you don't have it?

[Frank Albert]

Yo, that's crazy to me that there's people that haven't had screen names.

[Ant Prisco]

No, I definitely did. I just. I literally. I just don't remember.

[Joe Santagato]

He's a liar. That means it was like, my is huge. My balls are bigger.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. Pounding Prisco129.

[Ant Prisco]

Might have been 10. Yeah, might have been 10.

[Frank Albert]

What does that mean? When I was 10 years old, I was probably.

[Joe Santagato]

When it was. When I was 10 years old, I probably had the biggest balls on the planet, dude.

[Frank Albert]

What? That's not where I was going.

[Joe Santagato]

I know. I'm saying, like, that's what people said. It was like, that's what I'm saying. Look.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, Aunt Pre.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, see, this sucks, dude. Why not just give them your social? Be creative. Which is what, Aunt Pre?

[Ant Prisco]

Or was it Cool War at the time?

[Joe Santagato]

Cool War. Cool War first. What's cool about war? What wars have been cooler than others? The Cold War. Cold one, but that was a.

[Ant Prisco]

It was the coldest of ones.

[Joe Santagato]

But what was what's Cool War?

[Ant Prisco]

The one right before that, maybe?

[Frank Albert]

No, no, before you made the screening.

[Joe Santagato]

What is it about?

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, because my full name on Xbox was Cool War Monger.

[Joe Santagato]

Well, there's a war starting outside if you can't.

[Ant Prisco]

We're rumbling.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, you're. You're Cool War Monger. Who the are you?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Joe Santagato]

That must have been one of those autogenerated ones that, like, Xbox would give you when you would first sign in, like, hey, why don't you be like, tomato rocks? 18, you know, tomato rocks.

[Ant Prisco]

Pretty accurate, I like that, actually.

[Joe Santagato]

But it was. I went into a chat room, and those chat rooms were all like, asl. Asl. Asl, which stands for.

[Ant Prisco]

Is that like a disease?

[Joe Santagato]

That's als. It's als. I mean, he's. He's on something. He's not. He's not. Far from it. Oh, man. But, yeah, everyone was going in to see if anyone had als.

[Frank Albert]

Age, sex, location. Yeah. So you say your age slash, your sex slash. Where are you at? Yeah, so I'm in there. I'm 13 m. NY. You know what I mean? 13 years old, male, from New York.

[Ant Prisco]

Got it.

[Joe Santagato]

So, but then, like, someone, if they, like, saw you and wanted to talk with you, they'd message you on the side. And I got a message from, hey, it's me, 12303. And they were, like, trying to court me and, like, ask for me to, like, send pictures and, like, of your butt. I don't remember what they were specifically asking pictures for at this point. Maybe in other times I'm talking about this. I remember. But I do remember very specifically. They. They asked me to, like, hey, finger yourself. Forgot about. And my response. My response to them was, where? Where? You know, but let this be very clear, because this is not a Patreon episode, which I just realized.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Internet predators are really serious and dangerous. Yeah. Yeah, dude. So, like, it can happen to anyone, even when you think it's not happening. So be very alert. Stay off the Internet. It happened to your favorite podcaster, dude. Yeah, dude, I was.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, man.

[Joe Santagato]

But it was so, like, it was that person, like, anytime they would sign on, they would message me.

[Ant Prisco]

That's disgusting. Hey, did you do it yet?

[Joe Santagato]

Like, I'm sure it was something sexual.

[Frank Albert]

Just following up.

[Ant Prisco]

Got it.

[Joe Santagato]

Just.

[Ant Prisco]

Just making sure it was.

[Joe Santagato]

It was circling back. It was gross. Circling around.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. Disgusting. Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Really gross.

[Frank Albert]

And we don't suggest anyone do any sort of thing.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. I mean, especially, like, I'm not gonna start naming names, but there are, like, certain places now where predators are known to hang out and target people. And like, online I'm gonna start dropping names of places or games or something. But it's a very serious thing. Like, I don't want to be making light of something. Like, it was funny that it happened to me because, like, it was like, at the beginning of when this stuff started happening. And as a kid, I didn't know, but, like, now we have the tools to know this.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

And protect our loved ones against it. So, like, very serious. Especially people are sick out there.

[Frank Albert]

We started with Spoiled Milk and here we are. Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Now we're at Spoiled Milk. I guess there's no way to make that work.

[Frank Albert]

Speaking of milk, though, did you see the RFK Jr. And Kid Rock video?

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, my God.

[Frank Albert]

I gotta say, for. For Kid Rock, who has thrown out some anti gay slurs before, that is

[Joe Santagato]

quite a gay video. Dude, that's. We're not gonna get into the politics of it all because that's not what this show is.

[Frank Albert]

I'm down to do that too.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, full screen this bitch.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, sure. The only thing I'm gonna need you guys to do is just tell me when to pause.

[Joe Santagato]

Yes.

[Ant Prisco]

I'm not gonna know.

[Joe Santagato]

Of course. Full screen. It. So hold on. Before we even start, let me tee it up a little bit.

[Frank Albert]

Let's just say one thing. What's with the jeans?

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, RFK doesn't take the jeans. We'll get into that as the video goes, as someone that has seen this. So for those of you guys that aren't from America and don't know luckily who these people are, RFK Jr. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. Is like the Secretary of Health or something like. That guy's in great shape. I'm not going to take that away from him. But has said in tons of questionable things and made suggestions about ways of being healthy. Kid Rock not a shining example of American male health. Let me just say that I. I. No one. I have never looked at Kid Rock and just gone. I wonder what his workout routine is.

[Frank Albert]

But outside, his lungs are clear.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. I mean, he looks like he survived on cocaine, cigarettes, and Jack Daniels for the last 25 years. But they posted this as like a, like, motivational get up and get moving.

[Frank Albert]

I don't even know what it's. What is it? Because it's like the whole milk part was just so weird. Listen, play it and we'll just like, kind of. I don't want to play the whole thing through.

[Joe Santagato]

So you have RFK Jr. On the left, Kid Rock on the right.

[Ant Prisco]

Just play it. Just play it.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay, we'll start. We'll just start. It's. It's a minute and a half long. Secretary Kennedy and Kid rocks Rock out workout. Pause it, please. Let's start with this.

[Frank Albert]

We're never getting through this.

[Joe Santagato]

It's okay, baby. We got a show here. They got me with the image of the eagle, the bear, and the great white shark.

[Ant Prisco]

Really?

[Joe Santagato]

I love those things, those animals. Okay, those are cool animals.

[Frank Albert]

They're too easy, dude.

[Ant Prisco]

But.

[Joe Santagato]

But calling it the rock out workout,

[Frank Albert]

I just don't get what the point of this is.

[Ant Prisco]

Just play it. I got you. I got you.

[Frank Albert]

And it's like he's cheering.

[Joe Santagato]

He's like cheering him on. Like, let's go work out. And then he's taking his shirt off, which no one has ever asked him to do, and then he's serving food. Okay, throw. Wait, wait, hold on. Go back. Did he take his shirt off and have another shirt under it?

[Frank Albert]

What?

[Ant Prisco]

No, I don't think so.

[Frank Albert]

Who are you talking about?

[Joe Santagato]

Kid Rock. No, it looks like he was wearing another. Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, it was like a sweater. And he had a little shirt underneath.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. Okay, now he's just doing zero resistance workouts.

[Joe Santagato]

Also bad form. You're gonna hurt your neck there, my friend.

[Frank Albert]

But yeah, it's like a workout video. Can we just, like, skip to the.

[Joe Santagato]

Here we go. Now we're talking.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, and then also, this is great. The assault bike in the. The sauna.

[Joe Santagato]

And then also, at a certain point,

[Frank Albert]

he jumps into the cold plunge fully in jeans.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. Let's pause here. Oh. Oh, well, now we know it's. It's the cold plunge because the ice came in on the. On the screen.

[Frank Albert]

Why isn't he. Why is he wearing jeans?

[Joe Santagato]

You're. I know you have not watched Arrested Development, but there's a character on that show that's a never nude, and he wears jean cutoffs everywhere all the time. And, like, is afraid to be nude. And people are saying that RFK Jr might be a never nude.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, I just. It's very confusing that he's doing this. But then at one point during this video, they're in a hot tub together, and then it says whole milk in, like, drippy.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, you don't need it. You don't need to spoil it. Well, we'll get there.

[Ant Prisco]

We could.

[Joe Santagato]

We could skip to it if you had.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, first he jumps into the pool with more jeans. And then.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, yeah, he's got.

[Joe Santagato]

Also got out of the cold plunge.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. And now it's like whole milk. And they drink whole milk with the drippy.

[Joe Santagato]

Like, what?

[Ant Prisco]

Like, what.

[Joe Santagato]

What.

[Frank Albert]

What is that whole thing about?

[Joe Santagato]

Like, what is it about? I think, like, there are people that are saying that, like, we have moved away from whole milk as a healthy drink.

[Frank Albert]

Not you.

[Joe Santagato]

I love whole milk. I'll. You love whole milk. I'll tell you this. This does more damage to my whole milk appreciation than anything else.

[Frank Albert]

So maybe it's working.

[Joe Santagato]

This is like. You know what it is. There it is. Take another whiff.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God, please stop that milk.

[Joe Santagato]

That was, like, the closest thing we'll get to, like, a hyper right wing heated rivalry. Like, guys.

[Frank Albert]

That's what that is.

[Joe Santagato]

Guys, just. Just kiss. Yeah. I don't know. It's just kiss. No one's gonna. Like, we'll be, like, accepting. I promise. I mean, you might have said some things that maybe people will give you a little flack for a little bit. Like me. No, not you. Kid Rock. Oh, Kid Rock.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, he has.

[Joe Santagato]

But, like, guys, if you want to kiss, like, well, I'll accept you. I think you will too. And questionable.

[Frank Albert]

I just feel like it's like a weird video. I just don't know what it. What it means. Like, it's like, let's. We're going to work out, and then we're going to drink whole milk in a hot tub.

[Joe Santagato]

What?

[Frank Albert]

Well, like, what are we doing?

[Joe Santagato]

Is that not the. I assume the idea of that is to get up and work out, be more active. Is it? I'm going to ask you a question. You watch that? Does that make you excited to work out?

[Frank Albert]

No, it's. I'm confused.

[Joe Santagato]

What if I told you that it wasn't in this video? That because we don't want to get in trouble and owe money to Kid Rock. What if I told you that the whole thing was underscored by the song ba with the bar?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, I did hear that. That doesn't.

[Joe Santagato]

That.

[Frank Albert]

If anything, that just makes it more confusing for me. And it's just like. It's so funny. The edit is so funny to me because it's just like the typical, like, America thing. It's like eagles, bears the flag, whole milk.

[Joe Santagato]

Like, what.

[Frank Albert]

What are we attaching?

[Joe Santagato]

I am just as confused by that as I am. The several pairs of blue jeans that he works out in.

[Frank Albert]

I think that was one pair of jeans that was wet, then in the sauna, and then back to wet again.

[Ant Prisco]

To be fair. Don't you kind of resonate with that a little bit?

[Frank Albert]

You were in there full jeans.

[Joe Santagato]

You see that point, by the way? I did, yeah. You know, you saw it.

[Frank Albert]

You're in full gas.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm never. I have never once worked out in jeans. However, I think now for experimenting, maybe. Maybe we have to give it a shot.

[Frank Albert]

Maybe we need to wearing wet jeans.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, they were working out legs like they were. They were also doing plenty of. That'll work some back and shoulders in there. You know, the blue jeans.

[Frank Albert]

Sitting in a car at one point,

[Joe Santagato]

like, what is this video? The blue jeans of it all is the most confusing because this is the type of, like, propaganda that does work for a very select group of people in this country. Blue jeans, like, the whole, like, holding up a flag in front of a Statue of Lady Liberty in your home.

[Frank Albert]

Was that who that was?

[Joe Santagato]

That was the Statue of Liberty.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, was it?

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

My God.

[Joe Santagato]

Like, and then working out in blue, like. Like working out in my blue jeans. Like, that does work for people.

[Frank Albert]

I don't know if I've ever had wet jeans on.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, that's a good. I know I have because, like, I have put on, like, not jeans. I guess they're kind of like work pants over, like, sweatpants to go in the snow. Okay, so, like, Those get wet.

[Frank Albert]

Why not wear snow pants?

[Joe Santagato]

Because I don't own any.

[Frank Albert]

You don't have snow pants?

[Joe Santagato]

Nope. Why? Because I don't snows every year, though. Yeah. Not enough to justify wearing pants one day a year.

[Frank Albert]

Just one pair of pants.

[Joe Santagato]

I don't care enough for snow pants. Like, it makes sense because you go skiing and snowboarding. Yeah, that makes sense. To have snow pants. It makes zero sense for me to have snow pants.

[Frank Albert]

I wouldn't say zero.

[Joe Santagato]

Zero. Okay.

[Ant Prisco]

Never had a full drink spilt in your lap wearing jeans. I've had it goes right through.

[Frank Albert]

I have.

[Joe Santagato]

I think, yeah. I have been. I had a wet penis all the way through. I have. I have been caught.

[Frank Albert]

Whoa.

[Joe Santagato]

In, like, the rain in jeans. And, like, the thighs get very wet.

[Frank Albert]

That's like the most uncomfortable feeling. Like I've got caught in the rain in jeans and I'm like, yeah, so uncomfortable. I can't imagine being completely wet. What are you talking about? That was like a very specific. They had a pina colada just pull. Poured right through your jeans or something.

[Ant Prisco]

Just a cocktail or a beer. Just went. It just went right through.

[Joe Santagato]

Do you have anything like.

[Ant Prisco]

They landed on top, but you felt it in the back. You know what I mean?

[Frank Albert]

Someone spilled a drink on your penis and you felt it in your ass.

[Joe Santagato]

Actually, I could relate to that. It was like you're, like, sitting in it. Yeah, yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

It went right, Right through the whole thing.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, I think I've had that experience as well.

[Frank Albert]

You gotta buy better jeans then.

[Joe Santagato]

That's such a. I mean. No, no, he's right. Jeans are. Denim is very porous and absorbent. So I, I, I, I feel your pain. I have felt it. I'm currently feeling it. Thinking back on it.

[Ant Prisco]

I appreciate you feeling it. Whoa.

[Joe Santagato]

See what he did?

[Frank Albert]

I mean, I feel like you set him up for that.

[Joe Santagato]

To be fair, I. Is there a reality where we film a rebuttal? One? You and I film a, like, rock Out Workout Basement yard edition, and it's us at the gym. You could be in jeans. I could be Kid Rock.

[Frank Albert]

You want to be Kid Rock?

[Joe Santagato]

I don't want to be. But if someone has to be, I'll

[Frank Albert]

take that bullet doing push.

[Joe Santagato]

Take that bullet. And then we.

[Frank Albert]

When we jump into the hot tub, what are we drinking?

[Joe Santagato]

Whole milk, brother.

[Frank Albert]

Oh.

[Joe Santagato]

What do you think?

[Frank Albert]

We're just going to remake it?

[Joe Santagato]

I think we should do our version of it.

[Frank Albert]

Right. So that's what we wouldn't drink.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, you guys would do, like, chocolate milk.

[Frank Albert]

Why would we Drink chocolate?

[Ant Prisco]

I don't know. Because it's the opposite of them trying to be healthy. Milk, Right? Isn't this the thing?

[Frank Albert]

I don't know.

[Joe Santagato]

I don't even know what you're saying.

[Frank Albert]

Confusing.

[Joe Santagato]

It is.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, it's a very confusing drink.

[Ant Prisco]

Kool Aid. Like a fruit punch or something now?

[Frank Albert]

I haven't had fruit punch. We're talking.

[Joe Santagato]

I do have a thing of Kool Aid at my house. When was. What?

[Frank Albert]

You have Kool Aid?

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, shit.

[Joe Santagato]

You want it? No. All right.

[Frank Albert]

But, I mean, it makes sense.

[Joe Santagato]

You have children.

[Frank Albert]

What am I gonna do with it?

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, we have it. We haven't opened it yet.

[Frank Albert]

When was the last time you had a Hawaiian Punch?

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, too long, brother. Which I've never been to Hawaii. Something tells me that's not Hawaiian. Like, punch, like, real Hawaiian Punch is probably not that color.

[Frank Albert]

I don't think that's.

[Ant Prisco]

Like, Dr. Pepper should only be working on peppers. Like.

[Joe Santagato]

No, but, like, Dr. Pepper has. It's like, it's spicy because it's cinnamon in there. But, like, Hawaiian Punched is just in the name. Like, I'm sure if you went to Hawaii and you were like, where's the Hawaiian Punch? They'd hit you.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. Because I think we're all under the assumption that it's just not. It's not actually, like, Hawaiian.

[Joe Santagato]

Yes, I know. I. It's been a while. I will tell you this. Here you go. Rank these and it could be any flavor you want. Whatever the best flavor is of these three drinks, huh? Kool Aid.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Hawaiian Punch. Capri Sun. Hi. C. Go.

[Frank Albert]

What was it again? Oh, Kool Aid's number one.

[Joe Santagato]

Cool. Kool Aid number one.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

And what's your, like, flavor?

[Frank Albert]

The coolers. The cooler. The jammers.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, the one. Yeah. The one that came in the plastic bottle.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. And it looks like a spaceship Stuff Looks like a spaceship or that, too.

[Joe Santagato]

It does.

[Ant Prisco]

Hawaiian Punch is not made in Hawaii.

[Frank Albert]

No, Sherlock.

[Ant Prisco]

All right.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, you're the one just. Just output Kool Aid first.

[Joe Santagato]

Probably Capri sun second. Capri sun is up there. I don't like when they try to put Kool Aid in the pouches. Like, the Pouch. Pouch game was a Capri sun game.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, that's it.

[Joe Santagato]

Respect. Respect that. They established that.

[Frank Albert]

Then High C. Okay. Hawaiian Punch. What was the other one? Was that the last one?

[Joe Santagato]

Hawaiian Punch, Kool Aid, High C and Capri Sun.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. Yeah. I put a Hawaiian Punch last.

[Joe Santagato]

Really?

[Frank Albert]

It's good, but, like, it also Like I, I don't know if this is true or not, but I feel like it can't get cold.

[Joe Santagato]

Wow, that's an astute observation.

[Frank Albert]

Like I don't, I've never had that. And be like, oh, this is cold.

[Joe Santagato]

Like never cold. I don't think I've ever had cold versions of any of those drinks. Can you look that up?

[Frank Albert]

Actually, cuz I wonder if that's an actual thing because I've like tested that before and be like, I don't know if I can get this cold cuz I put it in my.

[Joe Santagato]

Because it comes in. In a 30 gallon jug. You have to keep it in the fridge for four weeks for it to get even remotely.

[Ant Prisco]

You want me to look up if the liquid drink Hawaiian Punch can get cold?

[Frank Albert]

Yes.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay, just make. I'm just making sure.

[Joe Santagato]

Do your job. I have a theory that it can't.

[Ant Prisco]

The question I, I would write here is can Hawaiian Punch get cold? Yeah. Okay.

[Joe Santagato]

I think it's an. I think it's a great question and I don't like the judgment he's using.

[Ant Prisco]

I'm just, I'm just clarifying.

[Joe Santagato]

I will tell you this. I. If it is a top search.

[Ant Prisco]

Sorry to inter.

[Joe Santagato]

Is it?

[Ant Prisco]

But yes, Hawaiian Punch gets cold when refrigerated or placed over ice.

[Joe Santagato]

I don't believe you don't drink any of that shit with ice.

[Frank Albert]

If other people are asking that there's something.

[Ant Prisco]

There is.

[Joe Santagato]

You drink it out of either a cardboard box or a reflective plastic pouch.

[Ant Prisco]

Wait a minute. It does say the high sugar content acts as an antifreeze, meaning it requires lower temperatures than water to reach freezing state. So technically.

[Frank Albert]

I knew it.

[Ant Prisco]

The threshold of being cold is lower, bro.

[Frank Albert]

I'm pretty sure that if you put Hawaiian Punch in the freezer, it wouldn't freeze like vodka.

[Joe Santagato]

Well, I think, I think if your freezer is set to 32, it might not. But if your freezer is set to like minus two, like most are, then yeah, it'll probably freeze.

[Frank Albert]

I don't know, dude.

[Ant Prisco]

I, I'd give you like I'll say 40%.

[Joe Santagato]

I have theory. It's a theory. And that's a, that is such a great point to also piggyback off that. I've never had a warm Yoo Hoo. Every Yoo who I have had, I've had it. Really?

[Frank Albert]

I mean, they're on the floor. That was a stupid way of saying what I wanted to say.

[Joe Santagato]

That was a very stupid way of saying that. I meant like, hold on. How are you drinking your uh, that's very dumb. Those.

[Frank Albert]

I missed all the context. My. At my mom's house, she would buy drinks like that that come in like cases or whatever and she would have them on the floor near the back

[Joe Santagato]

door and I would just drink them like that. They're on the floor as if that was like oh, okay.

[Frank Albert]

My point is like they're not stored

[Joe Santagato]

cold but like cans. I remember our friend always had, oh,

[Frank Albert]

the cans are freezing.

[Joe Santagato]

That was basically like beer for an eight year old. Yeah, because like you'd crack it. And like

[Frank Albert]

real quick, we have sponsors, but not Yoohoo.

[Joe Santagato]

Not one of them. Not one of them.

[Frank Albert]

So I, I had to go to a dermatologist and I like needed to find one that day and I booked an appointment. I went on zocdoc, I put in my insurance and then I found one in my, in my neighborhood close to me and they had availability that afternoon. So I went straight there. I'M fine.

[Frank Albert]

Check it out.

[Joe Santagato]

So what were we saying?

[Frank Albert]

I was talking about Yoohoo and how much I've drank of that. I. In high school, I would get it every single morning.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, I. I four years of

[Frank Albert]

Yoohoo, you know what kind of damage I've done to my body?

[Joe Santagato]

From like 8th until 10th grade, every morning my breakfast was a can of Coca Cola and a blt. Like it. We were not.

[Frank Albert]

Well, you have Coca Cola for breakfast?

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. What has more sugar? A can of Yoohoo or a can of Coca Cola?

[Frank Albert]

Couldn't tell you.

[Ant Prisco]

Probably Coca Cola.

[Joe Santagato]

I would say Coca Cola, but it might not. The margin might be slimmer.

[Frank Albert]

I feel like they're both bad.

[Joe Santagato]

They're both like equally like Coca Cola is like, like 35 milligrams. Where yoo who might be in like low twenties. Low to mid twenties. I know, like a can of Coca Cola.

[Ant Prisco]

Coca Cola is 39 grams of sugar.

[Frank Albert]

Holy moly.

[Ant Prisco]

Yoo who is 33.

[Frank Albert]

Holy moly again.

[Joe Santagato]

So who's. Who's who?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, you know.

[Ant Prisco]

Did you know that yoohoo has no milk in it?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. They can't call it chocolate milk. It's like chocolatey drink.

[Frank Albert]

Chocolate drink. Yeah, it's weird.

[Ant Prisco]

That tripped me out.

[Frank Albert]

I'm okay with it.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, I'm not, I'm not looking to have it to like supplement my milk intake.

[Frank Albert]

You know what I. You know what I did once? I put it was a glass bottle of Yoohoo too. And I would put it in a bowl and then I put cereal in it.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh yeah, duh.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Like I think of like Cocoa Pebbles or Cocoa Puffs or something. Yeah. I was not a big chocolatey cereal kid, but I could see why that would. But you could also just do regular milk, bro.

[Frank Albert]

What I would do to a cocoa pebble right now. A fruity pebble, bro. You get a fruity pebble in front of me, I'll show you something.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, I'm down for some Fruity Pebbles. And can you make it happen?

[Ant Prisco]

A multiple cereal taste test episode is

[Joe Santagato]

that door dash right now?

[Frank Albert]

Don't do this.

[Joe Santagato]

A half gallon of whole milk.

[Ant Prisco]

Can't.

[Joe Santagato]

We can't get more milk and a bowl and some Fruity Pebbles, so we can have some Fruity Pebbles in here.

[Frank Albert]

I want to put my tongue through an apple Jack. Oh, I don't. Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I'm not going to touch that one.

[Frank Albert]

You know it, though. You want to do it, too.

[Joe Santagato]

Not through an Apple Jack.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

I love. Call me a sadist. Is that the one that loves pain?

[Frank Albert]

Masochist. That's it.

[Joe Santagato]

I think sadists, like, like, evil or something like that. But, like, I used to love putting a Crunchberry between my tongue and the roof of my mouth and crushing it, and then it would just shred the top of my mouth like a cheese grater.

[Frank Albert]

I know you're gonna make fun of me, but let me get it out first.

[Joe Santagato]

The.

[Frank Albert]

The honeycomb.

[Joe Santagato]

I know you would suck through it all the time.

[Frank Albert]

Did I just say. What did I just say?

[Ant Prisco]

Hello.

[Frank Albert]

Call my therapist.

[Joe Santagato]

I knew it.

[Frank Albert]

I like sucking it and making it crush and making it flat.

[Joe Santagato]

Real flat. Like those videos of, like, people putting things into, like, vacuums and then they, like, cut all the oxygen out and then just.

[Frank Albert]

I have no idea what.

[Joe Santagato]

You just seen those. What is he talking about?

[Frank Albert]

I thought you were talking about the hydraulic machine that, like, crushes stuff.

[Joe Santagato]

What do you think is, by serving size, the most unhealthy? Like, sugary cereal. I imagine it's gotta be fruity. No Fruit Loops.

[Ant Prisco]

I. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's Frosted Flakes.

[Joe Santagato]

Get the way. Dude, no. I've convinced myself. No, for worse or better, that Frosted Flakes is, like, healthy adjacent.

[Ant Prisco]

Dude, it's so good.

[Joe Santagato]

It's flakes. It's Corn Flakes. It's Corn Flakes. But it's like, it ain't fucking. But it ain't.

[Frank Albert]

But it ain't the other ones, dude.

[Joe Santagato]

Like, it's got to be Froot Loops.

[Frank Albert]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch has to be worse

[Joe Santagato]

than Frosted Flakes because you're getting. You're getting a thing of Froot Loops that is just every color that is not natural.

[Frank Albert]

I saw this thing that a. One of the cheesecakes. It's their most, like, calorically dense cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory up against other stuff. It's like a Reese's Pieces cheesecake whatever whatever. It's 1500 calories for a slice.

[Joe Santagato]

What? That's bad.

[Frank Albert]

But it's bananas.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm gonna eat it.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. I mean, it's probably delicious.

[Joe Santagato]

I imagine that it's got to be Froot Loops at the top. It's so tough because I think, like, Fruity Pebbles, but. Ah, yeah. Why don't you look this up? This is very easy.

[Ant Prisco]

I know I am. I'm trying here.

[Joe Santagato]

Just pull up, like, the nutrition facts on, like, the heavy hitters.

[Ant Prisco]

We got Cereal crunch time. Honey Crunch with nuts. Does anybody know that? Cole's Honey Crunch with Nuts. Anybody heard of that?

[Joe Santagato]

If you think I am going into a grocery store and I'm picking out Honey Crunches with nuts, I hope you take a gun and shoot me in the face.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, it's saying that by weight, that's 42% sugar. Yeah. And Frosted Flakes is 41 sugar in that. No, like the bag.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, he's saying by weight, though. A corn. A Corn Flake is like papyrus, so of course it's going to be heavier because of the amount of sugar that's caked on.

[Frank Albert]

I'll tell you what my favorite bowl of Frosted Flakes is when you get to the end and then you just dump a bunch of that dust in there.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm not looking for by weight. What the amount of sugar is. How is this hard? How are you not just looking up Frosted Flake sugar?

[Ant Prisco]

I'm trying to get a bunch of cereals.

[Joe Santagato]

Just get the one.

[Frank Albert]

How much sugar is in. Is there more sugar in a Coca Cola?

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, to his defense, he needs to find, like, of comparable serving sizes. So, like, if a serving size for this one is a third of a cup and that one it's a half a cup.

[Frank Albert]

Like, they're all. It's cereal. It should be the same.

[Joe Santagato]

No different. They. You can quantify what a serving size is. Like yourself. It doesn't need.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay, so I got a bunch of cereals serving size of 30 grams and their sugar content.

[Joe Santagato]

This guy's going by grams. Where the.

[Ant Prisco]

I believe it's a bowl. I believe it's.

[Joe Santagato]

We're in a good old. You didn't see that RFK Kid Rock video we wanted in Fahrenheit.

[Ant Prisco]

From what it looks like here. Frosted Mini Weeks. Mini Weeks, Frosted Mini Wheats and Captain Crunch are the highest.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

At 15.7 grams of sugar. Whoa.

[Frank Albert]

Frosted Mini Wheats.

[Joe Santagato]

I again convinced myself that those are healthy, too.

[Frank Albert]

I like when I get a double. Oh.

[Joe Santagato]

Or when you get one that is just covered. Just the house is painted with this.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Blizzard. I'm talking like four coats of paint on this bastard.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God, I love it.

[Joe Santagato]

And then you get one that's, like, nothing on it. Yeah. Why do I feel like I'm from Kansas or Kentucky?

[Frank Albert]

I'm eating hay. What am I, horse?

[Joe Santagato]

Get the out of here, Dorothy.

[Frank Albert]

Wait, that one has a lot of sugar in it.

[Joe Santagato]

Yep.

[Ant Prisco]

Captain Crunch and Frosted Mini weights. Very high top two. They're tied.

[Joe Santagato]

Captain Crunch, I. Captain Crunch.

[Ant Prisco]

I get.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, there's nothing real about that.

[Joe Santagato]

No, I. I would get it if it was. Oops. All berries, which is the superior version.

[Frank Albert]

Frank. Those are all dyed anyway.

[Joe Santagato]

I know, but I'm saying, like, Captain Crunch. Like Captain Crunch without Crunch. Berries is just those little yellow puffs.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, but those are dyed.

[Joe Santagato]

Really?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Like a piece of corn.

[Frank Albert]

You're right, you're right, you're right, you're

[Joe Santagato]

right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

[Frank Albert]

What else we got? What the hell is the Frosted Flakes? Before I cut my own head off

[Joe Santagato]

at the neck, I am a little disappointed with Frosted Flakes. I really thought Tony the Tiger was saying they're great in terms of how they were for you.

[Ant Prisco]

Frosted flakes is 10.3 grams of sugar per.

[Joe Santagato]

My God, that's nothing. But what's the serving size?

[Ant Prisco]

30 grams.

[Joe Santagato]

Which is what, a third of it?

[Ant Prisco]

So. So it's a third of the serving size of sugar is essentially what it's saying.

[Joe Santagato]

But. And if a serving side. You're putting, like, close to a cup and a half in this fucking bowl, baby.

[Frank Albert]

No, I'm not.

[Joe Santagato]

You're going to.

[Frank Albert]

Frank, whatever. The biggest bowl in my house is.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Is getting filled to the brim and then refilled.

[Joe Santagato]

I love how we have somehow. And by we, I mean me. But you're in this with me now, baby. Convinced ourselves that sugary cereal is still, in a way, healthy.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, I. Yeah, I.

[Joe Santagato]

That ship has sailed. I know, I know.

[Ant Prisco]

So Frosted Flakes is 10.3 grams of sugar per, but Fruity Pebbles is 10.

[Joe Santagato]

Whoa, hold on, hold on. But Fruity Pebbles is basically.

[Frank Albert]

I mean, now. Now we're.

[Joe Santagato]

Now I'm on a diet.

[Ant Prisco]

Now.

[Frank Albert]

I'm on a diet.

[Joe Santagato]

Fruity Pebbles.

[Frank Albert]

I'm on a diet.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. If anything, Fruity Pebbles. The thing with Fruity Pebbles better for you than Frosted Flakes.

[Frank Albert]

The thing with, though, is actually, it's probably not just because they're so small. I can get rid of the half a bag.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. Without even going by serving size.

[Frank Albert]

It all.

[Joe Santagato]

It all equates, like.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

They're saying a serving size. A serving size of Frosted Flakes might be a hundred Frosted Flakes, where a serving size of Fruity pebbles might be 500, because. Sure, sure, sure.

[Frank Albert]

But I. I definitely think I could eat the bag of Fruity Pebbles in two sittings. And the Frosted Flakes might take me.

[Joe Santagato]

I love Fruity Pebbles. For the first minute and a half that I have that bowl there. After that, it becomes.

[Frank Albert]

You guys are crazy.

[Joe Santagato]

I like a little soggy cereal. No, I'm sorry. It basically becomes like toilet water. Like, I'm. It like, sops up and becomes like, a Frank.

[Frank Albert]

If that's what toilet water tastes like, give me a swirly.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. Okay.

[Frank Albert]

Flush it and let it drain in.

[Joe Santagato]

You want to be. You want to head in there, right? That was crazy.

[Ant Prisco]

Cinnamon toast crunch, 9.7.

[Frank Albert]

Literally a diet. Literally, I'm on a diet.

[Joe Santagato]

That's crazy, because they've also mastered what breakfast cereal is. We've said.

[Frank Albert]

We've.

[Joe Santagato]

We've done this before, and we'll say it again.

[Frank Albert]

Best cereal.

[Joe Santagato]

That's the best cereal. That's s tier for you. Yeah, maybe sometimes you get a shrimp tail in there. Did that happen? That was them. You don't remember?

[Ant Prisco]

That was the guy having lunch?

[Joe Santagato]

No, the guy, like, poured out a bowl and he got, like, a cinnamon frosted shrimp tail, which I'm going to go out on a limb for. I would think it was like a sweepstakes.

[Frank Albert]

I'd be like, oh, lucky.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, yeah. But that. Where we come from, the days of, like, you open up a cereal box and there's, like, a PlayStation 1 demo disc in there. Does that not happen now? They do, like, crackerjack prizes where it's like, tear this paper off and it's a model tax book or some.

[Frank Albert]

I hated when cereals, like, they don't have toys in them and they're like, oh, just, you know, mail it in for a rebate. I'm like, bro, I still, to this day, I have no idea what a rebate is.

[Joe Santagato]

And I'll tell you. I'll.

[Frank Albert]

I'm not participating.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm. I'll never figure it out because I need to stand in solidarity with you.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, I need to. We need to mail this in, and

[Joe Santagato]

then we'll send it.

[Frank Albert]

It's not happening.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, you get a $200 mail in rebate. I'm not. I'm not doing work. Want me to get up and do work after I just gave you all my money?

[Frank Albert]

I'm not paying for this for you. To mail me money back.

[Joe Santagato]

What do we do? I'm like, so what? So in a month and a half, I get a check for a hundred bucks. You Kellogg's?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. I'm not. I'm not doing. I mean, what are you so pensively looking up now?

[Ant Prisco]

Just making sure if you ask for more cereals that I had any and I have none.

[Joe Santagato]

I mean, what are. What, what is another. We need to know. Give me. Give me Honeycombs.

[Ant Prisco]

I don't.

[Joe Santagato]

Because. Or Corn Pops. I'm a little. When Corn Pops used to come in the bag that looks like it was sent to space.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, they got rid of that?

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

The Area 51 bag.

[Ant Prisco]

Yes.

[Joe Santagato]

Now it's in a regular ass bag. Oh, my God, such nuts.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

I don't know what, how many grams are going off of, but it says 15 grams per serving.

[Frank Albert]

That's higher than I thought.

[Joe Santagato]

That's not that low. I was expecting it to be low.

[Frank Albert]

Pops are kind of ass.

[Joe Santagato]

Come on now.

[Frank Albert]

You like them.

[Joe Santagato]

I kind of like. Oh, Apple Jacks.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, Apple Jacks are great.

[Joe Santagato]

Apple Jacks.

[Frank Albert]

Corn Pops are like.

[Joe Santagato]

I like Corn Pops. Gotta have my pops.

[Frank Albert]

You know what I like? Kicks.

[Joe Santagato]

Berry Berry kicks. Now we're talking. But that's another one getting crazy.

[Frank Albert]

This is dessert. Now.

[Ant Prisco]

I know.

[Frank Albert]

Berry.

[Joe Santagato]

Berry kicks. Like, that was another one that was just like a healthier alternative. Like if you, if you were in. If you were in elementary school and like, someone found out you had kicks. Be like, all right, you all. What are you, you know.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

You think you're a model of health? Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Do you know any grown adults that like non honey Cheerios?

[Joe Santagato]

No. I'm going to go one step further. Cheerios kind of suck.

[Frank Albert]

Honey Nut Cheerios are fantastic.

[Ant Prisco]

Honey nuts.

[Joe Santagato]

They don't suck my nuts.

[Frank Albert]

You don't like Honey Nut Cheerios?

[Joe Santagato]

For real? They could suck my nuts. Frosted Cheerios.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, well, hey, time to grow up, though.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay?

[Frank Albert]

You graduated.

[Joe Santagato]

You're the one that just said you'd eat a box of Fruity Pebbles and two poles. Who needs to grow up?

[Frank Albert]

I said I would eat it in one sitting, like a grown up. And I also haven't done that in two years. That's recent, but two years ago.

[Joe Santagato]

That's. That's really two years ago.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, I wanted like a little cereal kick because I was like, I'll just eat everything else because I. I hadn't eaten cereal in like, literally like six years.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay. To treat yourself a little bit.

[Frank Albert]

I'm just saying I fell into a hole and it was a deep, deep dirt rabbi.

[Joe Santagato]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Frank Albert]

And it was a deep, dark rabbit hole. And I was just buying cereal. Then I was just crushing God.

[Joe Santagato]

Let's get cereal in here.

[Frank Albert]

See, this is why it's good that,

[Joe Santagato]

like, we talk this stuff out.

[Frank Albert]

Well, just, just let's get cereal in here.

[Joe Santagato]

It's so stupid.

[Frank Albert]

No, but it's good that, like, you know, if I lived alone. Oh my God, dude.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. I would be like an idiot. Well, I did live alone and I did eat like an idiot.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, do you remember the big boxes where it was like three of them?

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, well, you'd get them from, like, Costco.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

You go to Costco and it would be a like, time machine box and it would have three bags in there, which you could never get back in. Once you open the bag.

[Frank Albert]

No, no.

[Joe Santagato]

Once you. Once it's open and you open the box, it's done. And it would be like. But see, this is how they'd get you. They'd put a shitty one in there. It'd be like Apple Jacks, Froot Loops and then Honey Smacks or something.

[Frank Albert]

Or like Rice Krispies, which are good.

[Joe Santagato]

I love Rice Krispies.

[Frank Albert]

You gotta add sugar.

[Joe Santagato]

I love hearing that talk to you in like Spanish and like that. That's what I imagine. Like, people that watched the Turning Point USA halftime show thought that the, like, Bad Bunny halftime show sounded like like snap, crackle, pop. Just like a. Like a bull. Like, those people are like, I'm not listening to this. And to them it just sounds like.

[Frank Albert]

You interpreting the sound that Rice Krispie makes as his, like Hispanic or Spanish.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm saying, I imagine that's what they thought it sounded like because they're the idiots, not me.

[Ant Prisco]

Right.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm not.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

And what's your favorite cereal? If you. All right. Because we. We've talked about it. Give us your top three Frosted Flakes. Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Number one.

[Ant Prisco]

I think so.

[Joe Santagato]

I think it's changeable, doesn't it? You don't need to order.

[Frank Albert]

I respect it.

[Ant Prisco]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

And then respectful Cocoa. Cocoa Pebbles. Yes.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, you're not a puff guy.

[Ant Prisco]

No.

[Joe Santagato]

I'll tell you this. I don't know what it is because I'm 99. Sure. It's not actual flavor Fruit flavors. Trix is amazing.

[Frank Albert]

I used to with tricks when they were shapes.

[Joe Santagato]

There's. They're back to shapes, brother.

[Frank Albert]

That's.

[Joe Santagato]

They've come. They've come all the way back to shapes. Cuz they were balls for a while.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. When it was all balls. I'm like, this is too much balls.

[Joe Santagato]

They put a lot of balls in there and now they're back to shapes.

[Frank Albert]

I like shapes.

[Joe Santagato]

I also love my Lucky Charms. I know. Grow up. I know, I know. I need to.

[Frank Albert]

No, they're overrated.

[Joe Santagato]

But I would never go as far

[Ant Prisco]

as I would say they're not very good.

[Frank Albert]

You know what sucks, actually? I don't know if they suck Golden Grams.

[Joe Santagato]

Dude. If you're good and bad, Honey Smacks or Golden Grams, just do all.

[Frank Albert]

We ate a lot of Honey Smacks growing up, but they taste like a old brown house.

[Joe Santagato]

Yep. Like, you would need to, like, read, like, a first edition of, like, the Hobbit when you had that.

[Frank Albert]

When I. When I'm eating Honey Smacks, I'm thinking of the original wizard of Oz and like that in the beginning. That's like a little dog. Like, I'm thinking of her.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, the neighbor. Whatever that idiot's name was.

[Frank Albert]

Wasn't she the witch?

[Joe Santagato]

She ended up being the witch. It was played by Margaret Hammers. Correct. I would imagine that, like, the people that ate Honey Smacks also, like, regularly had, like, framed burlap sacks on their wall and ran an antique shop and,

[Frank Albert]

like, play with tops.

[Joe Santagato]

Pogs.

[Frank Albert]

What's that?

[Joe Santagato]

Remember Pogs? They were weird. They were right before pogs. It was like 1993, 1994. They were like little cardboard circles with, like, characters on them. And, like, it was like the slammer and it was like a card game before. Oh, I thought you.

[Frank Albert]

I thought you were saying Pog. Like, Pog. Like a. Never mind.

[Ant Prisco]

You got it.

[Frank Albert]

You know. You know what's a pog? You know what I'm talking about?

[Ant Prisco]

Pog. I'm going to say no, you know,

[Joe Santagato]

I know what's a pog?

[Frank Albert]

It's a. It's a porn term.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay, you've lost me.

[Frank Albert]

Well, it's spelled P A W, G. So I'll let you, like, come up with something.

[Joe Santagato]

Is it an acronym for something? Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Can't wait.

[Frank Albert]

Just so we're clear, this is Frank figuring out for the first time what pog.

[Joe Santagato]

What a POG is. So it's. It's. It's pawg. So it's used as, like, it's an acronym. An acronym. But, like, it's used to describe someone or something. Both. So, like,

[Ant Prisco]

without a hint, it's gonna be tough.

[Joe Santagato]

Pretty Ass wipe. Gentleman.

[Frank Albert]

Okay, you're, like, close, but gentleman's crazy.

[Joe Santagato]

Pretty ass widow.

[Frank Albert]

Guy.

[Ant Prisco]

Guy.

[Joe Santagato]

What the hell are you. What was that? Bog G. The guy The G's a guy guy.

[Frank Albert]

It's not widow guy. Okay, go back to the last one you did.

[Joe Santagato]

Pretty ass

[Frank Albert]

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, I don't want to do that.

[Frank Albert]

Well, think of race. Think of race.

[Frank Albert]

Now we're getting somewhere.

[Joe Santagato]

Gay.

[Frank Albert]

No, no, no, no.

[Joe Santagato]

Pretty ass white.

[Ant Prisco]

There's one other G word. I think there's yes.

[Frank Albert]

No.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, there's two. There's two others.

[Joe Santagato]

This is a.

[Frank Albert]

Don't overthink it. It's like, you know, this is a thing that's happening between this and that.

[Joe Santagato]

That's

[Frank Albert]

P with a P. But it doesn't sound like a P. It doesn't sound like a P. No, it sounds like a different one if you ask.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, is it fat?

[Frank Albert]

Oh, fat ass white girl.

[Joe Santagato]

That's mean.

[Frank Albert]

No, it's about her. It's a woman.

[Ant Prisco]

No, it's about. It's about the butt. It's about the butt.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. It's not like.

[Joe Santagato]

It's not like a fat ass.

[Frank Albert]

No, it's like a fat ass white girl. It's a porn term. So when you said pogs, I was like, what?

[Joe Santagato]

No, this is pog. Yeah, different Pog.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

And I would say P, H, A T. Fat. It was like an early to mid 2000s thing, because. Was it Fat Farm?

[Frank Albert]

Oh, right, right, right, right. Yeah. My ears were off.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, Because a fat farm.

[Frank Albert]

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, it was the parents was the first one. Meet the Fockers was the second. Little Fockers was the third.

[Frank Albert]

It was the second one. And then he goes into, like, the kid's bedroom and he's like, oh, Lil Kim, she's fat. P, H, A T. I always remember that.

[Joe Santagato]

It was like a little like cardboard circle and like, it was like a game. And like it came with like the Power Rangers on it. Jurassic Park.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, the game. Do the game. Did you say you had another one of these games?

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, you want to. You want a riddle?

Fuck, I hate these goddamn riddles.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay, so all you have to do is tell me how many horses are in the stable?

[Joe Santagato]

What stable?

[Ant Prisco]

Whichever stable is in your mind. How many horses are there? Okay, Ready?

[Joe Santagato]

Three.

[Ant Prisco]

What? It didn't happen yet. Oh, here we go. How many horses are there?

[Joe Santagato]

I counted six. One, two, three, four, five.

[Frank Albert]

Are these multiple.

[Joe Santagato]

Are you nine maybe?

[Frank Albert]

Actually, I'm gonna say two.

[Joe Santagato]

I said nine.

[Ant Prisco]

There were five.

[Joe Santagato]

Come on now.

[Ant Prisco]

Five. There were five.

[Frank Albert]

All right.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm gonna fucking walk because, you know, I hate these. And you guys, this is what happened. I'm not in on this one. You guys get them first, and then I have to sit here like an idiot.

[Ant Prisco]

How about now?

[Frank Albert]

Three.

[Joe Santagato]

Three.

[Ant Prisco]

There were three.

[Frank Albert]

I got it.

[Ant Prisco]

You got it?

[Frank Albert]

I got it.

[Joe Santagato]

I said three.

[Frank Albert]

Two.

[Joe Santagato]

Just because he said it.

[Ant Prisco]

Now you go first.

[Joe Santagato]

Six.

[Frank Albert]

I said three.

[Ant Prisco]

One. There's one.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm going to get very angry, but I'm. I'm trying to.

[Frank Albert]

Son of a.

[Ant Prisco]

Shut up. Can you get it this time?

[Frank Albert]

What?

[Ant Prisco]

The

[Joe Santagato]

Six. Five.

[Ant Prisco]

There were six.

[Frank Albert]

I got it now. How?

[Joe Santagato]

How?

[Frank Albert]

I have it.

[Joe Santagato]

I got it.

[Frank Albert]

Hit me again.

[Joe Santagato]

Slow. Very slow, please. One, two, three. One, two.

[Ant Prisco]

Last try.

[Joe Santagato]

Two, three. One, two, five.

[Ant Prisco]

Two. There were two.

[Frank Albert]

Oh, my God.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm so.

[Frank Albert]

Got it.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm so.

[Frank Albert]

Got it. I got it.

[Joe Santagato]

Pick up that fucking phone.

[Ant Prisco]

You want to try again? Do you? What do you think's going on?

[Joe Santagato]

It's got to be something that you're doing with your hands.

[Ant Prisco]

That has to be. Has to be something. I'm doing my hands.

[Joe Santagato]

All right, so put your hands down and do it.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, I can't because.

[Joe Santagato]

So it is his hands. So it is his hands. Go again. Okay, go ahead. That was.

[Ant Prisco]

How many horses are there now?

[Joe Santagato]

Seven.

[Ant Prisco]

There were six.

[Joe Santagato]

I. I swear to God, I'm gonna flip this table over.

[Frank Albert]

Well, how'd you get to seven?

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, what was seven?

[Joe Santagato]

I'm watching his hands, and then he. He went like this. So I thought it was like an upside down 7. So do it and keep your hands here.

[Ant Prisco]

All right, all right, all right.

[Joe Santagato]

Stop. I lost it.

[Ant Prisco]

You blinked.

[Joe Santagato]

You blinked again. Start again.

[Ant Prisco]

That matters. What about 10 now? 10?

[Joe Santagato]

10?

[Frank Albert]

I'm gonna say three.

[Ant Prisco]

It's three.

[Joe Santagato]

Come on, guys.

[Frank Albert]

I figured it out.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh. I like being in on inside jokes when I'm inside them. I bet you do.

[Ant Prisco]

I don't know how much more I could help. You want one more?

[Frank Albert]

All right, make it as obvious as you can. Three.

[Joe Santagato]

One, two, three.

[Ant Prisco]

Now three.

[Joe Santagato]

Three minus two plus one. So two.

[Ant Prisco]

How many, Joe?

[Joe Santagato]

It's like.

[Ant Prisco]

It's like this one. It was one.

[Joe Santagato]

Wait, didn't I. No, I said two because you did. One, two, three. So it's that. Yeah, minus that. So three, minus two, plus one. So two.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay. All right. Maybe you're getting close. You're not. Here we go.

[Joe Santagato]

1, 2, 3, 4.

[Ant Prisco]

Now it doesn't matter. Ready? How many horses are in the stable now?

[Joe Santagato]

Is it like. Is there multiplication involved? So three plus three times two. 12, eight.

[Frank Albert]

Can I do it?

[Joe Santagato]

Sure. Do it to him, Frank.

[Ant Prisco]

Do it to him.

[Frank Albert]

I'm going to get you to get this.

[Ant Prisco]

And I'll answer. I'll answer.

[Joe Santagato]

So now, now I'm going to split seconds. Take a sip because I'm, I'm.

[Frank Albert]

What is that? What are you drinking, by the way?

[Joe Santagato]

That's tea.

[Frank Albert]

That's tea. It looks like dehydrated urine.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, maybe it is.

[Ant Prisco]

Looks like something from Jurassic Park. That would attract.

[Joe Santagato]

It's. It's sparkling tea. Oh.

[Frank Albert]

Ready? How many horses?

[Joe Santagato]

Six.

[Ant Prisco]

I think there's three.

[Frank Albert]

No, Right.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay.

[Frank Albert]

How do I, how do I.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, there were three.

[Frank Albert]

Yes, yes.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay.

[Frank Albert]

How do I.

[Ant Prisco]

Good luck.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay, here we go. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Ant Prisco]

No, no, no.

[Frank Albert]

I'm doing you a favor.

[Joe Santagato]

Hold on

[Frank Albert]

now.

[Joe Santagato]

Three.

[Ant Prisco]

I think there was one.

[Frank Albert]

You know there's one.

[Ant Prisco]

I know there's one.

[Frank Albert]

Frank. Why am I doing this?

[Joe Santagato]

I, I, it. Maybe it's not so. It's, it's the cycling of these. So it starts with snaps and then it goes to a different cycle and then it goes to a different cycle. So that's three different cycles. Things

[Frank Albert]

about the other times we've played the game, right?

[Joe Santagato]

Yo, I'm gonna come over there. Pour that milk down your. You said he was stupid.

[Ant Prisco]

You're stupid.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm gonna pour that milk down your fucking throat.

[Ant Prisco]

All right, Joe, maybe you just gotta go real slow. Try.

[Frank Albert]

Okay, ready? How many horses?

[Joe Santagato]

Three.

[Ant Prisco]

Yes.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay, try it again

[Frank Albert]

now.

[Joe Santagato]

Three. No, I thought you had it.

[Ant Prisco]

There's one.

[Joe Santagato]

Why was there one?

[Ant Prisco]

Why was there three before?

[Frank Albert]

Dammit. I thought you were on it.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, yeah. I fucking hate these little bar tricks. You go to fucking bars too much. You fuck. And you fuck you too. You know what?

[Ant Prisco]

This.

[Joe Santagato]

You earn a bitch. Here, write that down. YouTube bitch. Can you just tell me?

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, I guess. Just reveal it now.

[Frank Albert]

All right, Wait, wait.

[Joe Santagato]

Let me do it.

[Ant Prisco]

Okay.

[Joe Santagato]

And then you tell me how many horses there are. How many horses I are in the stable. Okay, sure. How many?

[Frank Albert]

Two.

[Ant Prisco]

Two?

[Joe Santagato]

I thought I was thinking like five, but I don't know how I.

[Frank Albert]

Clearly that's not. How would we both say two?

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, we both said two. How do we come up with that? Same time.

[Frank Albert]

Think about everything.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah,

[Joe Santagato]

I'm gonna do it again.

[Ant Prisco]

All right, but then, but then count down from three and we'll say It. At the same time.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay. Yeah. Three, two, one. Zero. Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

Zero. I guess.

[Joe Santagato]

Okay.

[Frank Albert]

All right, now we have to tell him. It's just the amount of words you

[Ant Prisco]

say after when you ask the question.

[Joe Santagato]

Yo, I fucking hate. That's why when you were like, so, do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again.

[Frank Albert]

How many horses?

[Joe Santagato]

Three.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. You had to count that.

[Joe Santagato]

God.

[Frank Albert]

Good job.

[Joe Santagato]

That's what he was like, how many horses are in the stable?

[Frank Albert]

My hands are underneath. I'm like, how many horses in it?

[Joe Santagato]

I hate that so much.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

I just don't. I. Because you know why? Because I fixate on one thing there, and I think, like, there's something in that thing, like the hand things that I'm not getting.

[Frank Albert]

I always think that when he brings up one of those, that it's like, it can't be the obvious one, so

[Joe Santagato]

I'm trying to think of everything. I'm glad you think that, because I don't. So that's why you get it. And I do not. I fail.

[Ant Prisco]

It was fun from this side of the club, for sure.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. You pointing at me and saying that I'm stupid. I'm not kidding. Take another whiff of that milk right now. I feel like, pledge, do it.

[Frank Albert]

I feel like that. Do you think that's, like, a very offensive thing someone said, like, could say

[Joe Santagato]

to you that you're stupid?

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

But, like, obviously he didn't. He obviously didn't say it in a serious manner.

[Frank Albert]

No, no.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah. I'm not here.

[Ant Prisco]

Stupid. Well, in that moment, maybe.

[Joe Santagato]

I'm kidding. I would say that, like, it's so tough because, like, if some random listener said, like, this guy's an actual fucking idiot. Yeah, I wouldn't care. But, like, if someone knows the real person that I am and yeah. Says, like, you're stupid, you're just stupid, or, like, you're not smart. That I would. You know me, I would go into a fucking.

[Frank Albert]

Well, that's what I mean. I feel like that that's like.

[Joe Santagato]

Would.

[Frank Albert]

That would offend you more than, like, other offensive things for some reason.

[Joe Santagato]

Yes.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

Because I think, like, that is a level of like. Like, you need to really not know me to think that I'm flat out stupid. You know what I mean?

[Ant Prisco]

Like, defending why he's not stupid.

[Joe Santagato]

I don't need to defend why I'm not stupid. I know. And the people that know me, like, that's the point that I'm making is, like, the people that know me know I'm not stupid. So, like, if someone were to say it, like, if Joey were to say, like, seriously, like, I just think you're dumb, I'd be like, what the. Like, you know me, you know I'm not. You know what I mean? Yeah, I agree. I think it's tough because, like, so much of this podcast is us, like, assuming or not even assuming, confidently stating we know something and then being proven wrong. Yeah, not me. Lately, I've been on a roll.

[Frank Albert]

That was the last episode and happened twice.

[Ant Prisco]

It's two more than the one before that.

[Joe Santagato]

That's right, baby. Well, anything up from zero. Yeah, but like, it's now become like a thing. Like, we do it as a joke, you know, thing. Like the, like, these guys know nothing. Where it'll be like, oh, the queen. And it's like, who? You know. And now it's become like a whole pug podcast. A whole podcast, like, sub genre of, like, people just not knowing, like, guys just not knowing things. And people think that's like a bit that we do.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah, I mean, I definitely, like, know a good bit, but I definitely say things confidently that I'm not sure about.

[Joe Santagato]

I also don't tout myself as the smartest person in the room today. Like,

[Frank Albert]

Rank the three of us in order of intelligence.

[Joe Santagato]

Oh, yeah, that's really. I honestly would say we're all on equal levels here. I really would.

[Frank Albert]

Like media trained.

[Joe Santagato]

Say. Say what you want about the next thing that's coming out of my mouth.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]

I hadn't known you and then as I've been getting to know you more, I'm like, he's a smart kid.

[Ant Prisco]

Also. At first you thought I was a.

[Joe Santagato]

No, I just didn't know you. But like, as I've gotten to know you, I could be like, wow, he's. He's like, you're very well spoken. You know a lot about a good amount of stuff. Like. But like, I didn't know you, so I couldn't have said that. You know what I mean?

[Frank Albert]

Are you smart?

[Ant Prisco]

That's for other people to decide, I think.

[Frank Albert]

Yeah. How are your grades growing up?

[Ant Prisco]

Very good grades.

[Joe Santagato]

I don't think that's. I don't think that's the standard. No, no, no.

[Frank Albert]

I'm just.

[Joe Santagato]

Because I know people that had great grades that are just fucking idiots. It's fair, I think. I think to be smart, you need to be. Well, like, you need to be well versed in it. Like, not well versed, but, like, able to hold conversation and stuff. And also a part of being smart is Knowing when to say, like, I don't know. And we. That's a part that I think we need to work. That's the part we need to work on. As it left your mouth, you're like,

[Frank Albert]

well, that's not what we do at all.

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah, but like, that they're getting. They're not getting the real versions of us here. You know, you got to be able to be like, no, I. I would. I think there are things that you guys are, like, know more about than I do, as there are things that I know more about than you do and stuff like that. But, like, I think in terms of, like, our capacity for intelligence, I would say all of us are pretty close. Like, I wouldn't. I don't think I'm smarter or dumber than either any of you guys.

[Frank Albert]

What have I done? Why did I bring that up?

[Joe Santagato]

Now? There are other people that we know that I have full on called idiots.

[Frank Albert]

Right?

[Joe Santagato]

Yeah.

[Frank Albert]

You know, that was so funny. Oh, my God, dude, that got me good. Well, you have to know when to say, I don't know. That's important. Which we don't know.

[Joe Santagato]

But like, intelligence is also like your, like, desire to also like your capacity for learning, like, and willingness to learn. Like people that are just like, I know what I know and I'm not learning anything else. I don't care about other perspectives. I think that is a form of an idiot.

[Frank Albert]

A form of an idiot? Yeah.

[Joe Santagato]
