[Jose Negato]

Welcome back to the basement. Welcome back to the basement yard. Hi. What's the matter? Ah, you're not having a good day? It's.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's been a week for the good old confidence. A good old Frankie.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, you've had a bad confidence week.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's not been a good old confidence week. You know what I mean? Like, you, you know. You know, like you wake up certain days, you're just like feeling good, feeling great, feeling great, feeling good. How are you? Had a rough performance yesterday and just trying to get over it.

[Jose Negato]

Just like the whole day. Yeah. How are you doing? I'm all right.

[Frank Alvarez]

How about you, Aunt?

[Ant Prisco]

I'm having a better day than Frankie, I guess.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, my day's great. Don't talk about my day.

[Jose Negato]

He said his last week was bad.

[Frank Alvarez]

The last, I think it was really just yesterday. I had to give a urine sample and just didn't like. I was not happy with it.

[Ant Prisco]

You didn't like the way it looked?

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm pretty. I like my piss.

[Jose Negato]

What's up? What do you like about it?

[Frank Alvarez]

Solid color, seemingly not cloudy, which I hear is an issue.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

I think that's a bad thing, right?

[Jose Negato]

Cloudy pit, I think.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't know. Also, I saw one thing and it was just like, if you, if you have bubbles when you pee, you might need to go to the doctor. Have you ever pissed?

[Jose Negato]

I think it depends how hard you're peeing.

[Frank Alvarez]

How hard do you pee?

[Jose Negato]

I mean, if I'm in my house, I'm not trying to pee as hard as I can, but if I'm in public, then I want to piss as hard as possible. So people think that I have an alpha sized wiener.

[Frank Alvarez]

They want to know. They want to hear and be like, that's a big stream that's got to equal big dick. Literally.

[Jose Negato]

And that's. I will go on record and say that this is a universal fact and every man on earth that when you're at the uniral, you're trying to make as much noise as possible so that the other guys in there know big dicks in town.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're at the urinal. That's what you said. Urinal.

[Ant Prisco]

It's a funeral for your piss.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. I mean, he is urinal.

[Jose Negato]

Urinal.

[Frank Alvarez]

Technically you are, right? Yeah. It's a weird thing, but like, also, but if you're with like the first, like 25 times I hung out with Becca, I pissed on the side of the bowl, so I made no noise.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, you don't want to.

[Frank Alvarez]

You don't want to. You don't want to fucking show off your piss stream.

[Jose Negato]

You're going in there. You almost want her to be like, did he even do anything in there?

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, well, also because of the invers. Because in public, if you do strong stream, big dick.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

In, you know, private, you want it to be like, no sound. Because if you do a stream and it makes a little sound, they're just like, oh, look at little trickle dick over there.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

[Jose Negato]

It's not interesting, though.

[Frank Alvarez]

When you're in public, you.

[Jose Negato]

You want people to hear your pee, but you don't want them to hear your poop. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I like. No one's like, pooping mad hard and being like, oh, what a good on that.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, that's a good butthole on that guy. There's a haggard's in there firing off a wiz.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'll do you one better. Like, it becomes like, I've been in, like, bathrooms, like, public bathrooms, where when people are having a rough time, it's like a universal. Like, everyone feels bad for that person when they could just be having a normal BM with like, normal noises and stuff like that. But, like, people are just like, oh, man, feel bad for that guy.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. You're kind of looking around, you're like, he's having a tough, tough time.

[Frank Alvarez]

They're having a tough go.

[Jose Negato]

I've never been at the urinal and there's like an older guy next to you and you could just hear that he's having trouble.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

I feel so bad.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's. I feel bad because there's a part of me when I. I see old people, like, like I. I try to hold doors open and, like, you know, like, I want to help them with stuff in public. I'll draw the line there.

[Jose Negato]

You don't want to help them pee,

[Frank Alvarez]

like, help this guy piss, like, punch his bladder or something or you ever, like, encourage him?

[Jose Negato]

Like, you got it, you got it.

[Frank Alvarez]

Is that a real thing? Did you guys ever see that movie Waiting? Yeah. Remember the guy in that movie, like, has, like, an irrational fear of pissing in public?

[Jose Negato]

Of course that's real.

[Frank Alvarez]

Is it real?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I didn't know. I thought it was just, like, a movie thing.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, I don't have it. I'll let it rip anywhere.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah, baby. If anything, I'm. I'm more afraid to pee in. That's a weird.

[Jose Negato]

In my own home, I prefer people to listen.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, I had to go for, like, do, like, a urine test, and it was just such a. For lack of better terms, piss poor performance.

[Jose Negato]

In what regard?

[Frank Alvarez]

I was, like, embarrassed. I didn't pee enough.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, you didn't pee enough?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

What. What kind of. Did they give you, like a. Like a champagne flute or what?

[Frank Alvarez]

They gave me. I was very confused by it. They gave me, like, a disposable coffee cup.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, you got to do the pouring?

[Frank Alvarez]

No, no, I had a piece straight in it, but they say, like, I don't know if you guys have gotten these directives. No, they capped it, but it just looked like a coffee cup, which is dangerous.

[Jose Negato]

Right in.

[Frank Alvarez]

Why, brother? If the difference. If there's a. If there's not a very clear, discernible difference between a coffee cup and a urinal sample cup. Oh, that's scary.

[Ant Prisco]

Did it have a drink spout?

[Frank Alvarez]

No, but, like, if I. If I put both in front of you real quick and said, look at them, you would have to go, wait. Oh, you know what I mean?

[Jose Negato]

Like, I mean, you would notice the contents of the cup. One is piss if they both have

[Frank Alvarez]

a cap on them.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, were they clear?

[Frank Alvarez]

No, they were paper. Like. Oh, bro, go to, like, a fucking coffee shop. Like, the paper cups that coffee comes in.

[Jose Negato]

Sounds like you were not at the doctor.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Where were you? Let's get us in his living room.

[Ant Prisco]

Kept collecting.

[Frank Alvarez]

It goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Jose Negato]

So how big was the cup?

[Frank Alvarez]

A solid, like, 12 ouncer.

[Jose Negato]

How much piss did you put in it, Frank?

[Frank Alvarez]

I was. I was disappointed in myself.

[Jose Negato]

Well, come on.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, I did. I did the whole, like, on the sink, the direct. You hear water. No, I did the directive of, like, pee a little. They say when you pee in a cup, like, pee a little. Like, start the stream and then start it in the cup. Right. I don't know why, but apparently.

[Jose Negato]

Get her going.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah. You need to warm the car up before you drive on the highway.

[Jose Negato]

I go straight.

[Frank Alvarez]

Really?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I just go for it.

[Frank Alvarez]

You. I mean, I. I imagine there is a medical reason why they tell us not to do that, so I'm just gonna listen to doctors.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, I didn't think that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, if there is, but now that I think about it, that was, that piss could have been used to make you look like a better pisser.

[Jose Negato]

Do you think? They got to the lab and they saw the amount of piss and they

[Frank Alvarez]

were like, what the, what the is this little bag of piss? Just like, they just like, oh, look what we got here. Yeah, little pisser.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, I, I, I, I.

[Jose Negato]

What's the matter though? You just couldn't squeeze anything out?

[Frank Alvarez]

I, I had peed right before I left the house, Frank. I know. I, it was, it was like a clear. And by the time I realized late to like go and drink water because, you know, like, I wasn't gonna do much at that point and my weight was like two minutes, so I had to just give him all I had, which wasn't much.

[Ant Prisco]

How'd you, how'd you get there? You drove.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, so didn't you just have piss

[Ant Prisco]

bottles in the car?

[Jose Negato]

You can't just dump old piss.

[Frank Alvarez]

First of all, I, I am, I am so far, I am like really good on not pissing in this car. I am like really, really, really doing well. And if I did, you think I'm just gonna be like, should be like, hold on, let me go to my reserve. Yeah. You know, I feel like if that's

[Jose Negato]

not enough, I got a trunk full of this stuff.

[Frank Alvarez]

But that's, that's also not gonna give me an accurate reading of what a good, like what they're probably looking for.

[Jose Negato]

Right.

[Frank Alvarez]

If it's like, oh, this is from four weeks ago. Like four weeks.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, I don't have four week old piss in my car. Let me out. Right. Let me make that clear.

[Jose Negato]

I don't, this is three year old piss, Frank.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't, I don't, I don't. But you pissed in your car more recently than I have.

[Jose Negato]

That's true.

[Ant Prisco]

That's. I don't know how if it's more recent, we, you know.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, it absolutely could be lying.

[Jose Negato]

I think it's more recent.

[Frank Alvarez]

I would be very forthcoming. I can't tell you the last time I pissed in that car.

[Jose Negato]

How was the color on it?

[Frank Alvarez]

Solid.

[Jose Negato]

Solid, solid yellow.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, like it was, it was slightly darker than yellow.

[Jose Negato]

Dirty blonde.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, I would say like a, like a, like an Arnold Palmer. Not that, no, no, no, that's a little, that's a little too dark.

[Jose Negato]

Like a lemonade dish, but like a lot of water.

[Frank Alvarez]

If you had dropped like a single drop of iced tea in a lemonade, because they say too clear is not good, apparently.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, lemonade. Okay. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

So like, look At a lemonade, but not cloudy.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, yeah, no, I got you, I got you. You know, it was a hydrated pee.

[Frank Alvarez]

It was. I think I'm doing okay, so I

[Jose Negato]

would rather have that because there was a time that this wasn't the last time I gave a urine sample, but it was the time before that I gave a urine sample and man, you pissed. I mean, I peed in it and like, there was enough in there, but boy, oh boy, was it.

[Frank Alvarez]

It was brown.

[Jose Negato]

It was like. No brown.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, people piss brown.

[Jose Negato]

I know, but they're like. I mean, this was just like. It was very, very like a Skittle yellow.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

And I was like, damn. I dehydrated.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not even kidding. I've pissed that color before. Of like the green screen.

[Jose Negato]

I have.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, I remember when I was in.

[Jose Negato]

What were you drinking? Just Mountain Dew. No, no, no.

[Frank Alvarez]

When I was in college, I.

[Ant Prisco]

It's called something else.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, I was not drugs. I mean, maybe I was taking like workout supplement pills and I pissed like neon green and I was worried, but I read the thing and it's like, that's normal. It's just excess vitamins and stuff. I was taking like, like Arnold Classic.

[Jose Negato]

What, you were taking bodybuilding supplements?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I'm 21 at the time. Like, if I'm ever gonna do something stupid, that's the time.

[Jose Negato]

So you're pissing electric green?

[Frank Alvarez]

Basically, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Wow.

[Frank Alvarez]

And that would have terrible. So giggly about over there.

[Ant Prisco]

It's funny. Did you pretend you were like Shrek or the Hulk or something?

[Frank Alvarez]

No. You know what? No, I didn't. I probably should have though.

[Jose Negato]

What. What is your reaction when that comes out of you immediately?

[Frank Alvarez]

The first two or three times I was just like, hold on, what?

[Jose Negato]

How many times did you pee? And that lasted a long time.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, it's like a 30 day supply of the workout supplements.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Damn, that's terrifying. I don't know.

[Ant Prisco]

I got head and shoulders in there once, bro.

[Jose Negato]

I don't know where that story was going.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was like, I got head.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, shoulders.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then I'm like, also. What? Wait, what?

[Ant Prisco]

I got head and shoulders in there once.

[Jose Negato]

In where?

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, in your hole. Why do you have head and shoulders? You washing your pubes?

[Jose Negato]

Well, like, yeah, Dandruffy dick.

[Ant Prisco]

Just.

[Frank Alvarez]

What's going on?

[Ant Prisco]

Dude just ran down and got in there.

[Frank Alvarez]

Ran down and got. Oh, because he's got such a big hole. Because it goes with his big old, big old wang.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, exactly. I mean, you need A big enough hole to let the P exit. That big? Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

This guy's running through with a queso burrito in his pants.

[Jose Negato]

So you're saying you put head and shoulders on your head and it ran down your body and got into your pee hole?

[Ant Prisco]

Well, it's probably just while I was scrubbing, I got this, and then it burnt.

[Frank Alvarez]

I will say this. If any soap is getting in my pee hole, one of the top ones that I don't want to happen is head and shoulders. That is strong, dude.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. When it's on your head, it's, like, icy hot.

[Ant Prisco]

And it burnt. It burnt for, like, two days while I was peeing, you know?

[Frank Alvarez]

Two days. You know, I got freaked out. Have you ever heard of the Dr. Bronner's soap? Like, it's like the pure castile soap. They have different flavor. Flavors of scents and, like, that.

[Jose Negato]

He's eating it.

[Frank Alvarez]

No. It's like. I'm shocked. It's. It's. It's a very famous. It comes in a really recognizable bottle. It has, like. It looks like the fucking entirety of the Bible's written on this bottle.

[Jose Negato]

Okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it's, like, super runny. And the first time I use it, my dad got the peppermint one, and I, like, used it everywhere, brother. It was like I had just fucking face fucked a snowman. Yeah. Like, my shit was ice cold. You're wiener, brother.

[Jose Negato]

Like, wow.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, it's like someone like you just, like, put your dick and balls in the freezer and then put them back on.

[Jose Negato]

That sounds kind of nice. Then I'm shocked you don't have a hot summer day.

[Frank Alvarez]

Pull up the soap. You'll know what I'm talking about. They have, like, different scents and shit like that.

[Ant Prisco]

What was the name?

[Frank Alvarez]

Dr. Bronner's. Like, the. The peppermint one will just. It'll burn the hair out of your nostrils.

[Jose Negato]

Dr. Bronner's.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, there it is.

[Jose Negato]

Let me tell you, I've never seen it.

[Ant Prisco]

Looks like you clean carpets.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, it's so. It's like, on the.

[Jose Negato]

Looks like an under the sink type.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, no, no. It's used as body wash. That's soap. It comes like that.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, it's magic.

[Frank Alvarez]

But, like, you can use it as, like, table cleaner. You could use it as laundry detergent. Like, you could use it for a ton of shit. You just need to dilute it. This is too much for soap. I mean, I'm not diluting. They also make the bars, brother.

[Jose Negato]

This is. Wait, so you can use the same soap for your balls that you can. For your floor.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes.

[Ant Prisco]

It's an 18 and 1, so.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes. Dude, I'm serious. Yo, that was things to even clean. Yo, this. See, she's got it. She knows. Can you pull up the. She's probably got the coldest tits on the planet. Yes.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, the peppermint one. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

I'll look up what you guys keep going. I'll look up what. The 18 things you could use.

[Jose Negato]

I need to know. I can think of body, counter, floor. What are we talking about?

[Frank Alvarez]

It's like, you can, like, like, sprinkle it on your.

[Jose Negato]

Your car.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, you could use it as, like, in the toilet cleaner. Like, it's. Bro, it's. It. It's super intense, and it's crazy. How is that possible? I don't know. They make this. I. I don't make it.

[Jose Negato]

That's insane, dude. I've never heard of this before in my life.

[Frank Alvarez]

But I'm cleaning, and I'm just like, yo, this is crazy, dude.

[Jose Negato]

And it just, like, lit your body up like a Christmas tree, yo.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not kidding. It felt like I was standing butt naked in Antarctica.

[Jose Negato]

Did your. Did your. Did you feel, like, super clean when you got out?

[Frank Alvarez]

I felt like I was the cleanest since I had come straight out the womb.

[Jose Negato]

Wow.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, I've never in my life been that clean, and I never will ever again.

[Jose Negato]

That sounds, like, nice. I kind of like that feeling because, like, I've used head and shoulders before, and then your head is just like. It feels like there's steam coming off of it.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's called head and shoulders because it feels like your head and your shoulders are one, like, kind of numbs.

[Jose Negato]

They're all numb.

[Frank Alvarez]

They're. All of it is numb. It runs down before it gets to his dick. It runs down your shoulders, and it just.

[Jose Negato]

How that got in your pee hole.

[Frank Alvarez]

This is one, like. Yeah, also just, like, pure. Just gravity.

[Ant Prisco]

Like, it happens.

[Frank Alvarez]

Were you just, like, showering with a boner? Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Is your pee. Is your pee hole facing up?

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, it was just, like, while I was scrubbing everything, I guess I got brushed.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, I know what it does. You were scrubbing, and you were scrubbing.

[Ant Prisco]

You know, everyone's having a good time. Do you want to hear the 18 things?

[Jose Negato]

Where the hell did that come from?

[Ant Prisco]

What even was it?

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't even know.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, that's what you were doing earlier. Before we started, he was like, oh, before we started, he was like, oh, I just got to, like, fix myself, whatever. And I was like, yo, you good over there? Like, what are you doing?

[Ant Prisco]

So you had that, you had that stroke yourself bit for like.

[Jose Negato]

He held onto it for 15 minutes. What is that? Yeah, right?

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't know. I just found it in the garbage over there and I decided it'd be funny. Where is this coming? It's coming out of your back. I thought doing some prom comedy would be funny. Some prop comedy. Oh, my God.

[Jose Negato]

He really enjoyed that. I don't even know what that's from.

[Frank Alvarez]

Are you crying?

[Ant Prisco]

I was doing some desk cleaning. I threw that out, I guess. Did you go through my garbage?

[Frank Alvarez]

It was right there.

[Ant Prisco]

It was over there in the garbage?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

So you walk around this place and you saw a piece of garbage and you're like, I have an idea.

[Frank Alvarez]

This is phallic enough to look like a wiener.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know? Yeah. And God almighty, I'm fucking crying.

[Jose Negato]

He loves it. Did you find the 18 things?

[Ant Prisco]

I found something, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Is there anything strange?

[Ant Prisco]

Well, it could be used. So Frankie's soap that he used as a child.

[Frank Alvarez]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, you're an adult.

[Frank Alvarez]

I still use it now, right?

[Jose Negato]

You still have that?

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Can be used for face, body, hair, bath, shaving, teeth, feet, congestion, dishes.

[Frank Alvarez]

Hold up, back up.

[Jose Negato]

Teeth.

[Frank Alvarez]

Soap for your teeth.

[Ant Prisco]

I mean, maybe mouth.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Why can't you wait?

[Jose Negato]

You're speed running this.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, sorry.

[Jose Negato]

Start from teeth.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, I was trying to get.

[Frank Alvarez]

Start from the beginning.

[Ant Prisco]

I was trying to do the normal things first.

[Frank Alvarez]

Start from the beginning.

[Ant Prisco]

Face, face, body, hair. Yeah, the bath.

[Frank Alvarez]

What is the bath? Put it in his bubble bath.

[Ant Prisco]

Makes bubble. Could make shaving, shaving.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's like maybe like an aftershave or something. Soap. I don't know.

[Jose Negato]

Teeth, teeth, teeth is insane.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm gonna brush my teeth with soap.

[Ant Prisco]

Teeth, feet, congestion, congestion.

[Frank Alvarez]

Nah, dude, I'll tell ya, you put a rub a little bit of that under your nose, you'll breathe fucking better than you ever have. Shoot, this thing. It's my sinus.

[Ant Prisco]

And then it goes dishes, the laundry, the laundry. And then it just goes your floors, your general cleaning of the house, windows.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, dude, I can clean my windows and my teeth simultaneously.

[Frank Alvarez]

Your windows and your asshole. The two cleanest parts in the fucking house.

[Ant Prisco]

Then it goes toilets. You could clean produce, dogs, plants, dogs. And it could keep away ants.

[Jose Negato]

It can keep away ants. Yo, what is going on with this thing? This is an outrageous marketing scheme.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. I mean, no, dude, it's like magic. It's people way ants, yo. I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding. Some of this shit I like one day, like, you know when, like, you like, don't go to the bathroom and you don't. And you don't have your. When you go to the bathroom, you don't have your phone on you and you just like, read whatever is in, like, arm's reach. I read the bottle and it's like, this is miracle from God. So that could do anything.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, so they're humble.

[Frank Alvarez]

Are you fucking kidding me? No, it's.

[Jose Negato]

This fucking soap will do everything. Yo teeth, suck your dick, keep away the roaches. You can put it in your mattress. You can sleep on it. You can jerk off with it.

[Frank Alvarez]

You could eat it. I'm not kidding. If you jerk off with this thing, you would. You would burn the fucking skin off your body.

[Jose Negato]

That's great. Does it have any other scents? Yes.

[Frank Alvarez]

So there's like lavender. There's like, I think a eucalyptus one.

[Jose Negato]

Which one are you currently using?

[Frank Alvarez]

The last one. We haven't used it in like a couple. We ran out and we haven't gotten a new one yet, but we. The lavender one is fucking good.

[Ant Prisco]

I believe the peppermint one specifically is probably for ants because I know ants hate peppermint. Like anti ant sprays. Peppermint sprays.

[Jose Negato]

I know that. I didn't know. I buy.

[Frank Alvarez]

I didn't know that. So why don't you get out of here? We're just gonna dump this on you, you filthy little. And we'll make sure it doesn't get in your pee hole. Yeah, please, dude, they have. I'm telling you right now, that's insane. Do. I'm sure Nicole probably knows about it because she. I know she's very, like, health conscious and like, you know, stuff like that. That is something that you should have in your home, bro.

[Jose Negato]

I'll tell you this right now. Love her to death. But if she brought this home and

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

was like, girl, winter is so last season and now spring's got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders that perfect hang on the patio sundress those sand you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done. Hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear open that envelope. It's time for a little in person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic.

[Jose Negato]

And it replaced our toothpaste. I'd be like, what are you doing?

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not. I didn't know, the tooth one. I'm. I might try that. I might try it. Why not? Please brush your teeth. Teeth with.

[Jose Negato]

With like whatever. I mean, the magic.

[Frank Alvarez]

So I mean, how. I don't know how you could. What would you like, mix it in with your toothpaste?

[Ant Prisco]

Maybe it's just a mouthwash. Maybe.

[Frank Alvarez]

But it's not. It's very thin. Like it's very, like it's non viscous. So like it's like water.

[Jose Negato]

Really?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. So you're. It's not like a gel soap.

[Jose Negato]

Okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's just like pure soap.

[Jose Negato]

It comes out like water.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Dude, fucking pull up a video of this. I don't need to. I'll take a word for video soap.

[Jose Negato]

I can take your word for it, but that's okay. So maybe you just. You just so.

[Frank Alvarez]

But they say like dilute. Like if you were to like sit in it, I'm sure it probably wouldn't be very good for your skin. You'd get some form of irritation.

[Jose Negato]

You don't have to sit. Well, I'm not saying sit in the

[Frank Alvarez]

thing, but also like, I'm sure whatever you're cleaning or using it for, it's the different levels of dilution. Like you put like a little bit into your. Your laundry. A lot of people swear by that stuff because it's a more natural.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like detergent. So cleaner than like, if you go and buy. No offense to big laundry detergent, but like, what is the blue goop? Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

I have no idea. I mean, I am. I am open to the idea that this works.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's just funny.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You could.

[Jose Negato]

It said like teeth and dogs being on the same list as windows, like,

[Frank Alvarez]

and your own face and your butthole. It's like outrageous.

[Ant Prisco]

And it keeps away insects and pests.

[Frank Alvarez]

Right? Yeah. I mean, it's. It's not cheap. Like, that bottle right there is probably

[Jose Negato]

like, that said 18 bucks.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's. It's not cheap.

[Jose Negato]

That's a lot.

[Frank Alvarez]

But you don't need a lot. Like, that bottle will last you like two, three months. Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

They could take out a whole ant colony, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

That'll do everything you want if you spring cleaning in a single bottle.

[Ant Prisco]

You know the jokes that people make of, oh, guy shampoo, 13 and one hair conditioner. You managed to find an 18 in one 18 that goes out of the bathroom.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Isn't that cool?

[Ant Prisco]

That's something.

[Frank Alvarez]

It is.

[Jose Negato]

It's not. It's not nothing.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, the ones that you're referencing is like, it's hair. It's Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, aftershave, and who knows what else in one.

[Jose Negato]

You know what's funny? I don't know if you guys did this when you were younger, but when I was super young, my parents would be like, all right, you gotta go take a shower. So I would take a shower, and then I would come down and then my dad would be like, did you use soap? And I didn't, but I would lie.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh.

[Jose Negato]

I said, oh, I use shampoo. And he's like, what?

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, like, you would. You would shower without bathing yourself properly?

[Jose Negato]

Like, I wouldn't use soap.

[Frank Alvarez]

I vaguely remember that, but I. I could. I don't know if that's still a thing.

[Jose Negato]

I don't know why, but I just, like, wouldn't use soap. Not all the time, but there would be times I wouldn't use soap. So every single time my dad would be like, did you use soap? And I would be like, oh, no. Well, I'll tell you this. And they'd be like, get back upstairs and go take a shower. Or I would lie and I'd be like, oh, I use shampoo. Which I also didn't do.

[Frank Alvarez]

So you just walked in, got wet and walked out?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, this is when I was, like, super young. But I remember it, so I must have been.

[Frank Alvarez]

I imagine that still does something, though. Like, you wash away. You wash away the stinky.

[Jose Negato]

The sins of dude.

[Ant Prisco]

Maybe. Maybe you never washed away your something and that's why you don't stink under the armpits.

[Jose Negato]

Maybe it's not that I never did.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's a great point.

[Jose Negato]

But it was like.

[Frank Alvarez]

It was.

[Jose Negato]

I was very young. Like, I was, like, under 10 while this was happening.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, first of all, that's when kids are, like, fucking filthy. Like, rolling around in the fucking. Literally, like in the dirt and shit.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, that's when you probably need a bath or shower the most there is. Like, kids are deathly afraid of, like, soap and shit like that, because it's about getting it once you get it in your eyes.

[Jose Negato]

Once you're like, yeah, it's the devil, you know? At what age do, like, you, like, take a bath with your siblings? Young, like, because I. I, like, remember I have, like, a memory of it.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Yeah. I recently went through a bunch of family pictures, and there were pictures there. And I said, like, we didn't need to take a picture of this, you

[Jose Negato]

know, but, like, do you know what age? Like, four.

[Frank Alvarez]

I would say, like, four and under. I think around five. It gets a little, like.

[Jose Negato]

You gotta Start separating.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Like, it gets a little weird.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. But I, I have a memory of, like, I think I've told this story before, but, like, I was in the bath with Keith and he laughed and a giant blood clot came out of his nose. Like, it was just like this. And I was like. And I think we all screamed.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. I, I, I, I think that kids are just afraid of soap because of, like, the thought of it getting in their eye. And there was so much. When we were kids, soap, like, marketed at us as, like, tear free, you know? Like, remember the ones that came in. Like, it was like the l', Oreal, the fish.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, and then they had the ones. I never remember what they were called, but they were like bars of soap that were in, like, a mesh pocket.

[Jose Negato]

Yes.

[Frank Alvarez]

I forgot.

[Jose Negato]

Loved those.

[Frank Alvarez]

Forgot what they were called.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, that was a good one. The tear free. I think they still, they still probably do, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

I love the, like, Johnson and Johnson, like, gold baby shampoo is the best smelling. One of the best smells on the planet.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I don't know that one.

[Ant Prisco]

I got head and shoulders in my eyes yesterday.

[Frank Alvarez]

You have to stop with the pausing.

[Jose Negato]

I got head and head and shoulders

[Ant Prisco]

in my eyes yesterday. That hurt.

[Jose Negato]

Are you head and shouldering every day?

[Ant Prisco]

I guess it's just inside of me.

[Frank Alvarez]

What he's asking if you're using it

[Jose Negato]

on this episode that you can't. Like, that isn't sexual.

[Ant Prisco]

I. Oh, yeah, that's a good point.

[Jose Negato]

You use head and shoulders every day a lot.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, you probably should.

[Jose Negato]

You should.

[Ant Prisco]

No, you're not supposed to, but I do.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, you're, you're supposed to use it very regularly. I, I went. I like, sat through, like, a presentation from them once.

[Jose Negato]

You sat through a presentation of head and shoulders?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did the. He did. He did it too. He paused a little bit after head. Did I? Yeah, you did. Oh.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, yeah. I was like, I wasn't at the presentation.

[Frank Alvarez]

I did a, I did a deal with them. Oh. And they were just like. It was like at a football game. It was at a Giants game. And they were just like, our head and shoulders guy is here, so we're gonna, like, teach you guys about it. And, and it was honestly, like, insightful. Like, I can't say anything bad about it.

[Jose Negato]

I thought it was like, a. Not medical grade, but it's, like, above shampoo. Like, if you're dealing with dandruff, use this.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, to my understanding, it's actually meant to be more and I should probably contact my Head and Shoulders connect and see if they can give us more accurate info. But, like, it's meant to be more preventative than it is to, like, deal with it. So, like, they say that you're supposed to use it regularly because it's like, it kills a certain bacteria that creates dandruff on your scalp or something like that. I thought it was interesting, you know,

[Jose Negato]

but throw it on every now and again.

[Ant Prisco]

If I don't use it for, like, if I use different shampoo for a few days, like, I'll get dandruff bad back.

[Jose Negato]

But do you. Do you shampoo and conditioner? Like, do you condition your hair?

[Ant Prisco]

I don't condition well.

[Jose Negato]

I think that's a problem.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't. I don't.

[Ant Prisco]

It makes my hair flat.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, first of all, conditioner is not supposed to be used on the whole head. It's only supposed to be used on your hair end of the hair. Yeah, but that's not where dandruff comes from. Dandruff comes from the scalp.

[Jose Negato]

I know, but if. I'm assuming that if you have, like, dry hair that has some sort of effect.

[Frank Alvarez]

But I don't think the hair matters. It's the scalp.

[Jose Negato]

It's the back connected to the scalp.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, but like, you're. When you're. When you're doing. To my understanding, when you're doing, like, my hair is not long enough right now, but, like, the conditioner is supposed to be used on, like, the outer part of the hair. In theory, it's not really supposed to get on your scalp.

[Jose Negato]

I'm saying, like, if. But if. But if you don't condition your hair right, and it gets a little dry, or if you have that type of hair that does get dry, I would think that the thing that is coming out of your head would have some sort of effect on the moisture of. I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, but the, the issue of dandruff is at the base of your hair, like, on your scalp. So if you're conditioning your hair, you're not attacking the. The issue.

[Jose Negato]

No, I understand what you're saying. I mean, I just. I just don't know.

[Ant Prisco]

Is it bad? I didn't know that conditioner was only for the tips.

[Frank Alvarez]

I didn't. I didn't. I learned that late in life. I don't know that.

[Jose Negato]

That's like a gigantic issue.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, okay.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

I. I learned that late in life as well.

[Jose Negato]

I. I have. Not recently, but when I was younger, I would condition my hell.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Just because now we're getting somewhere.

[Jose Negato]

I was like, I would just condition these. Let's get these more.

[Frank Alvarez]

Can you show us how you would do it?

[Jose Negato]

No, I would just be like, you know what, I'll just like get these things going so they're nice and silky smooth. But we do have some sponsors.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, we're going from silky smooth pubes to our sponsors.

[Jose Negato]

Yes, we do have some. The first one being zocdoc. So zocdoc is a, a free app or website that helps you find and book high quality network doctors so you can find someone that you love. Okay.

Well, what's wrong with that?

[Jose Negato]

I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

You don't like to rock and or roll?

[Jose Negato]

It's kind of a. Where does rock and roll? Like, I got the rock.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, but why is that what they call the music? But like.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I mean, because you rock and roll to it. Where's the rolling?

[Frank Alvarez]

Like you roll on the floor. Like they were used. They used to. That music came along and they used to like trip to it. You know what I mean?

[Jose Negato]

I guess so.

[Frank Alvarez]

They would be like, whoa. And then they'd like fall over themselves.

[Jose Negato]

You know what, what dance move white people love.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I don't hate it.

[Jose Negato]

Boomers love that.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't hate it. Well, because the boomers were like, you know, in their, like 30s or 20s, in the 70s, and that's when that was big. Because it would be like this. And then every now and then they throw in a. Yeah. Oh my God.

[Jose Negato]

My mom's a big pointer. She likes to point. She's always like, there is.

[Frank Alvarez]

I one time came across a tick tock and it's like someone. Their whole account is just dedicated to like dancing like a middle aged white woman at a party.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it's just that, it's just like, you know, just all that while they have a. Yeah. Yes. Who taught white boomer women in America to dance with pointing.

[Jose Negato]

Also, when they clap at weddings, I've noticed that, that, that generation, they clap, but the fingers are out.

[Frank Alvarez]

So like Nicole Kidman, do you remember her clapping?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. She's got hands like the Grinch, brother.

[Frank Alvarez]

She clapped and her fingers were behind our ears. I was like, yo, pull. See if you could find that clip.

[Ant Prisco]

I'll try.

[Frank Alvarez]

She clapped and it was like. It was like the Grinch's fingers. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.

[Jose Negato]

Like they curl backwards or something.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, I. I think I've done it with Becca, but, like, not, like, to the. No, no, no. I'm talking about, like, where it's like, it's no one. And I just like.

No, I. When we were, like. Of, like, dancing club age. Club age, like, it was. I was always like, do you want to dance? I always made it a specific point to ask.

[Jose Negato]

Well, that's what I mean. Like, if you saw someone, you'd be like, oh. And then you walk over, and then you kind of ask.

[Frank Alvarez]

You, like, you get here, and then. You're in it already.

[Jose Negato]

No, no, I'm saying you're in a place, right? And you see this girl across, and you guys kind of make eye contact, and then you're like. You're looking, and it's like, oh, we are staring at each other. So it's like, I'm gonna go over there. And then, like, it feels like everyone's kind of moving out the way. And then you make your way over,

[Frank Alvarez]

and you're like, oh, like you're in some Truman Show. Like, everyone's just like, all right, they've made contact. Everyone back up.

[Jose Negato]

Something like that. I feel like that happens in movies.

[Frank Alvarez]

The only time I think it was ever, like, when I danced with that old broad at the wedding I went to.

[Jose Negato]

There's got to be a better way to. Yeah. Pull it.

[Ant Prisco]

I don't know if this is real and not edited. These are long fingers.

[Jose Negato]

This has.

[Frank Alvarez]

I think it is real because when it happened, at first, everyone was just like, yo. Oh, my God, bro. Her hands. Like, it looks like she's clapping. Like, it looks like two Venn diagrams are meeting in the middle.

[Ant Prisco]

Dude, I don't even. I don't even think I could do.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, she's like, it looks like the

[Jose Negato]

zodiac sign for Pisces.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, it does. It looks like when you, like, those, like, Newton balls on the string are, like, hitting each other.

[Jose Negato]

Listen, no. No disrespect. To Nicole Kidman. But if that's real, you got long fingers. Also, the Instagram.

[Frank Alvarez]

Instagram handle.

[Ant Prisco]

I didn't bet that there are gay animals.

[Jose Negato]

You know that, right?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, penguins are gay.

[Jose Negato]

Not all of them.

[Frank Alvarez]

Not all. I'm not saying all them.

[Jose Negato]

Do you guys know about the penguin? The. The lone penguin?

[Frank Alvarez]

We talked about it on this episode.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, that was here.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah. You've heard this? No. You know the long penguin, bro, they were long loan. There was like, at this zoo, I think it was in Australia or somewhere. There was.

[Jose Negato]

No, it wasn't zoo. Wait, what are you talking about?

[Frank Alvarez]

Like.

[Jose Negato]

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, wait, what are you talking about?

[Jose Negato]

Nothing gay. Nothing gay.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, mine had gay penguins.

[Jose Negato]

No, no, I know the gay.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, the gay one, but this.

[Jose Negato]

No, this is like the type in.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, look at.

[Jose Negato]

Don't gay penguin type in penguin walking away. Just do that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Lone penguin walking away.

[Jose Negato]

There's penguin walking away.

[Frank Alvarez]

Walking to mountain.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, yeah, do that, do that, do that, do that.

[Ant Prisco]

Where'd you see mountain?

[Jose Negato]

I mean. I mean, you got it back up. Are you type.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like you're a thousand years old?

[Ant Prisco]

It's over. It's over there.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, this one. What do you need a Verner Herzog one? That's gonna blow the.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, let's not play the. The audio here, but just go to the image.

[Frank Alvarez]

A penguin and he is walking away.

[Jose Negato]

So this is so.

[Frank Alvarez]

All the way to the right. You see all the.

[Jose Negato]

The right click that. So that. I mean, I guess these are all like, photos, but there's a video of this of a penguin who's just taken off for the mountains, just doing its thing, right?

[Frank Alvarez]

Doesn't give a fart.

[Jose Negato]

And look, look, look.

[Frank Alvarez]

Where is that? Japan?

[Jose Negato]

He, like, I don't know, but he broke away from the pack and he was just going for it, and then people turned it into this thing that's like. The penguin obviously is never going to survive without the colony if he goes for the mountains. But he just, like, desperately. He's.

[Frank Alvarez]

He's. Oh, so they're using it as like, motivation, like chase your dreams, something like that.

[Jose Negato]

And it's like, but why? And like all this stuff and, and. And, you know, it's. It's supposed.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's.

[Jose Negato]

The interpretation is this very motivational.

[Frank Alvarez]

Nihilist. Nihilist.

[Jose Negato]

I don't know what that word means.

[Frank Alvarez]

Penguin mean. Like.

[Jose Negato]

But then I. So I watched a video on this and it was so moving and the music was just like, like, incredibly Motivating and all this stuff. And the. The explanation and interpretation of what was happening was. Was like, you know, a moving.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then. See, I just. In the comments, there was someone being

[Jose Negato]

like, yeah, what actually is happening is that there's something going on in this penguin's brain, and it's, like, basically going off to, like, hell. It's.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, no.

[Jose Negato]

Like, not that it's gonna go.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was just saying. I was looking at it. I was just like, it's running like the kids from weapons, you know.

[Jose Negato]

Well, that's how they kind of run, I guess. Penguins are so cute.

[Frank Alvarez]

Penguins are cute. We were talking about the. We were referencing the one where it was like a story of, like, two male penguins got together, and they were, like, their soul mates and stuff like that. And then one of them died. And, like, the penguin, like, crew, like, in solidarity for this morning, gay penguin, like, sang a song for it.

[Jose Negato]

It's beautiful.

[Frank Alvarez]

It is pretty. Pretty touching.

[Jose Negato]

You know, penguins, they, like, take rocks and they put rocks in front of the female.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, penguins are one of the few animals that, like, mate for life. It's like penguins, lobsters mate for life. Yeah. Like, they.

[Jose Negato]

What does that mean?

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, they're like, yo, this is my. Oh, my penguin lady. Or, oh, they're loyal.

[Jose Negato]

You mean they're monogamous?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Okay. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I think lobsters are like that, too, you know.

[Jose Negato]

Really?

[Ant Prisco]

Why would.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't. I don't make up the rules here. The. You.

[Jose Negato]

Why are they monogamous?

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't know why. I mean, but, like, look at the lions. Lions will, like, go in someone and be like, I'm gonna. Everyone here is getting it.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I think gorillas are like that, too. It's like, yo, I'm the biggest one. I beat up everyone else, so. Everyone.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And then I was at the zoo, and I read a thing that was just like, if a, like, new lion comes into the pack, they'll, like. If there are any cubs, they'll fight the. The head of the pack, or pride or whatever they're called them up, kill them, and then if they had any cubs, they'll take them out, too. And it's like, yo, this is. This is some crazy shit, dude.

[Ant Prisco]

Lobsters do not mate for life.

[Frank Alvarez]

Really?

[Ant Prisco]

No, it's. They do serial monogamy where it's like kind of like the lions, where there's a bunch of females and they.

[Jose Negato]

Oh.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh.

[Jose Negato]

So he's like, yo, I get my A, but I'll keep it.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, so he's like Mormon wives.

[Ant Prisco]

Sure.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like sister wives and the.

[Ant Prisco]

But yeah, because I remember something like they lay so many eggs and they have to either way.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean. No, no, I'm not. I am. I. That was what was like a thing like you've never heard like people on like remember like those old like Tumblr coded things where it's just like, you're my lobster. Because lobsters are. They mate for life or some shit. I guess I'm a fucking idiot and I just bought into it.

[Ant Prisco]

I'll tell you what, you know what? Termites. Termites mate for life.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

They can go and die.

[Ant Prisco]

Isn't that surprising?

[Frank Alvarez]

Termites can go and fucking die. I know they're. I know they're important to like the ecosystem.

[Ant Prisco]

I don't think they are, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

So they definitely are.

[Jose Negato]

I just found this penguin thing. Right. Listen to the song. So it's just like that, right? And then this is what the caption is. It says, in 2007, Werner Herzog.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Herzog filmed a lone penguin breaking away from his colony. Instead of heading to the sea to feed, he turned toward the interior of Antarctica. A 70 kilometer death march towards the mountains. Science calls this disoriented. Biology calls it a mistake. But. But perhaps this is the same mistake that drove our ancestors out of the caves. The urge to discover is a dangerous one. It defies the logic of survival. It demands that you leave the safety of the crowd to pursue a mountain that only you can see. Civilization wasn't built by those who stayed at the feeding grounds. It was built by those who acted what is over there, regardless of the cost. If you feel the pull of the unknown, you aren't broken. You are just one of the few heading for the mountains.

[Frank Alvarez]

You, you were having a very self reflective day that day.

[Jose Negato]

Why?

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, like I could see you just being like thinking back on Santa Gato Studios and you know, everything and like, I'm the penguin.

[Jose Negato]

No, no, I just think that's like

[Frank Alvarez]

a, that's not a bad thing. I mean, it does apply to your life. Like you did do that.

[Ant Prisco]

I kind of just think it was a dumb penguin maybe, but also.

[Jose Negato]

Well, that's what the commons eventually went to. Like, which I. It was just funny. The comedy in it is that you read that you're like, wow, that's so cool. And then you and someone's like. While that explanation is poetic, science suggests the penguin isn't actually trying to end its life, but its internal GPS is basically broken. This happens because of brain injuries Sickness or parasites that mess with their navigation. The penguin thinks it's headed towards the water, but it's broken compass is actually leading it the wrong way and its instincts are too stubborn to turn back.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, I mean, it's also like. Just let it go. I mean, it's also. It helps. Like, you reading it doesn't do it justice when you have fucking German ass Werner Herzog, and he's just like, this penguin is going to discover, you know, like, that shit sounds cool, but yeah,

[Jose Negato]

it's kind of like you remember the. The angler fish where they're like, oh, it never saw light and it desperately wanted to see light.

[Frank Alvarez]

Light.

[Jose Negato]

You don't remember that?

[Frank Alvarez]

No.

[Ant Prisco]

We talked about the little one and it was.

[Jose Negato]

That has like, the light.

[Frank Alvarez]

I know what you're talking about.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, and you didn't see it?

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, is that like the evolutionary, like, evolutionarily, like, evolutionary explanation for it? Like, it didn't see light, so it wanted to. So it made its own light?

[Jose Negato]

Something like. I don't know, but it was like all this. This thing lived in the dark and it just wanted to see the light before it died. Because it died. But there's a.

[Frank Alvarez]

There's a comment that's good.

[Jose Negato]

And it's an AI photo of the penguin walking with Jesus and it says, he was not alone. I don't know, that's just funny. I mean, he was not alone. God walked with that penguin that had the parasite in his head.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, Jesus.

[Jose Negato]

That's what I meant.

[Frank Alvarez]

This guy doesn't even know his own hierarchy of deities.

[Jose Negato]

People are getting deep in the. In the comments, one person posted a photo of a random person looking at the stars and it said, should I go left?

[Frank Alvarez]

You can't reason with the sun. Trust us, we've tried. This summer, it's time to put that angry ball of fire on mute. Columbia's Omnishade technology is engineered to protect you from the sun's harsh rays that can burn and damage your skin. The sun is relentless. But so is our gear. Level up your [e-mail] to spend more time outside and less time slathering on aloe lotion. You're welcome, Columbia. Engineered for whatever

[Jose Negato]

nothing is right or right where nothing is left.

[Frank Alvarez]

Damn. Honestly, that kind of hits that kind of fucking hit.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

Whoa.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not gonna.

[Jose Negato]

What was it? Should I go left where nothing is right or go right where nothing is left?

[Frank Alvarez]

I have to, like, once a week, if not once every other week, my TikTok algorithm turns into that where it's all Just, like, emotional motivating. A lot of it is also, like, letters to my wife, and it's just like, you are my home and stuff like that. So, like, I need, like, I'll do that, and then I'll reset it back to, like, the Sopranos or, you know, people did. Why? Because, like, I get too emotional with that stuff.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, like, I think I said recently on this show, like, it was, like, for a while, it was videos of, like, people giving little kids baseballs at baseball games. Yeah, yeah. And like, that shit fucking. It punches me in the chest. So, like, I have to, like, come back down and just be like, all right, this. This can't be, like, sappy stuff. I need to laugh every now and then, because if I just get sad and cry, it's not going to be

[Jose Negato]

good for me, you know? You want to hear something cute that I'm like, this is such a great tradition. But, like, Geo. When he goes to hockey games, he'll immediately. Before we go to the seats, he goes to the store and he buys a puck, and he gives it to a kid that he just sees a kid. He's like. And he gives him, like, a little kid. I give him.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, dude.

[Jose Negato]

And so now. But, like, he kind of, like, it has included us in that. So he'll go and get three pucks for, like, me and Espo, and we just give them out to kids, dude, every game.

[Frank Alvarez]

When I. I know, like, I said this when I went to the. The Pokemon card show. Like, I was talking with my brothers, and I found myself. I wasn't getting emotional, but, like, I was getting worked up. Also had a drink or two, and

[Jose Negato]

I was saying, like, fresh off that peppermint shampoo.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, the peppermint shampoo and a paste and, like, like, two Guinness. No, I said, like, stuff like that. Like, I have, like, issues with, like, the whole, like, Pokemon card collecting, like, world right now because it is, in theory, as it is, bigger now than it ever has been. It is kind of gatekeeping its fandom. Like, you're putting these cool cards that are meant to be kids and accessible, and there are hundreds, if not millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars and, like, that, like, it. So, like, what we. What my brothers and I did is we bought packs and we were going around, and, like, we saw, like, there were, like, two kids sitting on the floor, and they were having fun, like, looking at their binders and like that. And we gave it to, like, so, like, that with the pucks, bro. That gets me, man. Like, I'm not even kidding. It gets me emotional because it's the stuff like you are, in theory, something that was emotional and happy and brought you joy. You're just trying to give that to somebody else, like, in that moment. It not about what you're giving them. It's about the memory and the feeling, and that's incredible.

[Jose Negato]

Especially when I was, like, young. I mean, I would barely go to games, but if I caught a foul ball, dude, that would be, like, the highlight of my life, dude. Have you ever caught. Oh, you have caught a ball.

[Frank Alvarez]

I've caught home runs. I. No. So I caught two balls in one game that I remember. Maybe there were other ones that I

[Jose Negato]

don't, but two in one game.

[Frank Alvarez]

Two in one game. So we were sitting. It was Yankees at the time, Indians. And. And I was sitting behind the. The bullpen, and we, you know, like, the kids are leaning over the bullpen and Mariano Rivera threw a ball up, and I. It, like, rolled around and I grabbed it and I had. I still to this day have it, and I couldn't believe it, bro. I was. I was.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

Damn.

[Frank Alvarez]

Mo throw you a ball? Mo gave me a ball also. You got me that Mo ball. That's cool because, like, he held that. You know what I mean? Yeah. And then at the end. The end of the game, the game ended with a pop out to center field. Johnny Damon caught it, and he turned around and he threw it. And, brother, I was looking at the person next to me talking to him, and it landed in my lap. In my fucking lap.

[Jose Negato]

Did you rain the balls? Yo.

[Frank Alvarez]

And I gave it to our, like, a. Not like a friend friend, but, like, we know him through, like, friends and stuff like that neighborhood. Gave it to his little brother as, like, a. You can have this. Yeah. I was told a week later, he, like, drew on it and ripped it up and, like, that. Ripped up a baseball. What is he like a. Just basically, like, playing catch with it and like that on the pavement, you know?

[Jose Negato]

Lord.

[Frank Alvarez]

But yeah, so, like, that was cool. I also.

[Ant Prisco]

What was the moral of that story was?

[Frank Alvarez]

It goes against what I'm saying in my current. But, like, at the time, I was just like, don't give them. Don't get kids.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

At that age, I was like, I'm the little kid here. Give it to me.

[Jose Negato]

Right.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, but. And then I got one when we went to the Padres game.

[Jose Negato]

That's right.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was. All I wanted was a ball. Oh, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

At the Padres game, they were. They would get the balls afterwards, and then the Kid would just, like, sit

[Ant Prisco]

with them or whatever.

[Jose Negato]

And Frank's like, I'm gonna try and get a ball. He's wearing a bucket hat. He has a blue tongue because he just ate an ungodly amount of cotton candy. I was like, I think they're gonna give you one.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, no, because it's a different thing. Now. If you go to any, like, baseball game, every one of those balls, they're tagged. They're tagged and they're sold in the store. And then you can scan a QR code and it'll tell you all the pitches it's used for, what happened within, yada, yada, yada.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, that's kind of cool.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And so, like, I thought, like, there's no way they're gonna give me a ball now because they're just gonna lose money. Yeah, I got the ball, brother.

[Jose Negato]

Hey, you gotta ask.

[Frank Alvarez]

And you remember what I did with that ball?

[Jose Negato]

Nope.

[Frank Alvarez]

You don't remember?

[Jose Negato]

No. Kept it.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's mine. No. Little kids getting that ball.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, yeah. I was like, I feel like you kept it, but I don't know if you did something. Did you. Do you get them, like, framed?

[Frank Alvarez]

No.

[Jose Negato]

You just have them?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Well, that one is in a bin.

[Jose Negato]

I still have my first pitch ball.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah, I still have that. Yeah, I still have that from both of them from the buoy base.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, I. I assume you have everything that you've ever had. Oh, yeah, yeah. Anything. Yeah, I do. You must have, like, a random bin with, like, the most random stuff in it.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah. I mean, we did an episode years ago, like, when I first joined, where we, like, went through our childhood items and just brought random things in.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, but so with the tour, you would take a lot of stuff.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, I would.

[Jose Negato]

So with the. With the. With that bin.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yep.

[Jose Negato]

If I opened it, went through it. What, Four bins.

[Frank Alvarez]

Four bins. Good Lord.

[Jose Negato]

So if I went through these bins, would there be stuff in there that I'm like, what even is that?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, yes.

[Jose Negato]

Like, is it like a four? Oh, this is the first place we ate, like, a fork or something.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, no, no, no. I didn't get that. That level. I mean, I have shirts and hoodies. Yeah. I have the. You know, a pair of the socks that we had. I have some stuff that some fans gave us. You know, there was one in particular. I know I told you this where, like, it was from a. Like, an indigenous tribe at. It was in, like, the Vancouver area.

[Jose Negato]

What's that called? Dreamcatcher.

[Frank Alvarez]

But it was also a Ring.

[Jose Negato]

Right.

[Frank Alvarez]

And I was just like, I can't get rid of this because I. I don't want to, like, upset.

[Jose Negato]

Disrupt a spirit. Yeah, right.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. There's some stuff I could. I could bring one or two of them in and. And we can go through them and talk about them if you want. Frank's bins.

[Jose Negato]

And you got. And you also have, like, your jars.

[Frank Alvarez]

I have jars. Yeah. Yeah, I. I get it. I know I have. Of what?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I guess that's a good question, too. I mean, what's. What do you think is your strangest jar? Jars. For anyone listening. He keeps a lot of stuff in jars. So he'll collect, like, matchboxes.

[Frank Alvarez]

Matt. Well, yeah, matchboxes. Back at night, anywhere we go, whether together or individually, we try to get a matchbox to bring home. Cigar wrappers. That's a big one.

[Jose Negato]

You could. Oh, there's a jar for that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, like.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, like the.

[Jose Negato]

The ring around the.

[Ant Prisco]

I know. Like, what.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm not. I'm not. I haven't smoked cigar in how long? And sometimes there are some that I had that I just didn't keep because. Whatever.

[Ant Prisco]

Well, the matchboxes. Right. I don't mean to dissect this, but the matchboxes, they have, like, the names of the restaurant on them usually. Sometimes. So you could kind of like, piggyback off that and. Oh, I remember Scar wrappers. Like, how do you.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's more of like, this is just the cigar. It's not like I wrote on them,

[Jose Negato]

like, January 44, you know, smoked it with my.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Father in law.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

And we talked about politics.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, no, I definitely haven't done anything like that.

[Jose Negato]

But you used to collect bottles. You remember that?

[Frank Alvarez]

When we were in high school. Let's make sure you. You very specifically say that.

[Jose Negato]

Yes. What? Yeah, I mean, I think everyone and did that at a certain point.

[Frank Alvarez]

We had on my. So, like, the way that, like, my childhood bedroom was from, like, high school, it was like there was like, a windowsill and it was lined with empty bottles of absolute Patron.

[Jose Negato]

Some of the grossest alcohol you could.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

You know? Yeah. Like a big bottle of Patron.

[Frank Alvarez]

And at the end of the night, we'd be like, we finished this bottle. Everyone sign it, and I would keep it and keep it in my room.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I remember those.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, those were all gone.

[Jose Negato]

Okay.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

Okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

All of them are gone. I thank God. All right. I mean, can you imagine if you

[Jose Negato]

still had the bottles, if Becca and

[Frank Alvarez]

I moved into a. A home together, and she. I was just like, I need to figure out where to put my bottles.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

Oh.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, I wouldn't respect you, but I. I would. I am shocked that you got rid of them. Like, I think it's okay to keep that. Like, if you're storing it.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, you know how I am. Like, I keep them. And then at a certain point, I was just like. Like, it's not cool or funny to have a bottle of vodka from.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

From 2010. You know what I mean? You guys, I remember. The only thing that I remember you keeping was, like, you bought an original 4 loco and had it for years.

[Jose Negato]

That was accidental.

[Ant Prisco]

I.

[Jose Negato]

It just. I found it and I was like, oh, this is an og.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then you kept. Do you still have it?

[Jose Negato]

Or is it long?

[Frank Alvarez]

Do you have anything?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Not that your parents kept. That you kept.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I have stuff, but, like, not a lot.

[Frank Alvarez]

Podcast, we talk.

[Jose Negato]

I mean. I mean, I told you I keep funeral cards because I'm afraid to throw them out.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes.

[Jose Negato]

I'm like, oh, now I'm gonna kill them.

[Frank Alvarez]

I have those. Yes.

[Jose Negato]

So I can't. I can't do that. I've misplaced some of those. I have all the Polaroids for my first apartment where everyone had to take those.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

So I have all those.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, and what I remember the picture I took.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. Frank was naked, wearing a. A WWE belt around his waist.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, it was lower than my waist. Let's. Let's put. Let's point that out.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. Yeah. It was covering the. His thing, but, yeah, I actually was. You know what's funny about that? I have. So I have all those pictures, and the first time I met Becca, she was at my apartment, so she's on there. And I was going to put that in your, like, wedding card.

[Frank Alvarez]

Gotcha.

[Jose Negato]

Because I. I still have it, but, I mean, it's in my nightstand somewhere or some. But now they're all up because they were all, like, taped. So I put them on top of each other. So some of them, like, ripped.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, that sucks.

[Jose Negato]

So I don't know which ones are

[Frank Alvarez]

ruined, but I recently went through. My brother came over a couple weeks ago, and he showed up a 2, like a giant storage bin. And he's like, oh, when mom moved, she. I took all the pictures. So these are all of our family pictures. And I went through. There was some of you in there. I think I sent you some. Did I send them to you?

[Jose Negato]

No, you talked about something. You were like, oh, guess what picture I found. But I forgot what it was. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Don't remember. But there were some of you, like, we went to, like, a pre K trip.

[Jose Negato]

That's what it was.

[Frank Alvarez]

You were like.

[Jose Negato]

I picked up the first picture. Who was in the picture?

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes. Yo. Yes.

[Jose Negato]

Shane Gorman again.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yo. I'm not kidding. I open the bin and I look at a picture, and it's it. And, like, the only one of Shane.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. And I. I wonder if when that episode comes out, because it hasn't come out yet since we're recording this, if he'll reach out. Will we make contact with the Gorman family again? Sister's name, first of all.

[Frank Alvarez]

We're going. Yeah, we're.

[Jose Negato]

Come on.

[Frank Alvarez]

We're getting out of control. We're getting out of control. You want to give the mom's name, too? Yeah. They were cool as, dude. I remember, like, being, like, super cool with him. And he was. I'm so crazy at times.

[Jose Negato]

I remember his dad was a lefty. I look as that was the first lefty that I had met in my life. I was like, this guy is so cool. He throws lefty.

[Frank Alvarez]

I remember, like, his dad looked like the. Like, when you would picture, like, a musician that, like, grew up on the West Coast.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like, long, wiry hair. I thought it was, like, curly. I don't remember curls, but, like, was like, yeah, man. You know, like, that's what they both looked and reminded me of.

[Jose Negato]

I do remember one time Shane getting in so much trouble at my house that his parents took him upstairs in my mom's bathroom and made him eat soap. Like, I. I remember that vividly. And I don't know what he said.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, he was also, like, a nightmare.

[Frank Alvarez]

He was a kid. He was a kid, that's for sure. He was definitely, like, a little nuts.

[Jose Negato]

Him and Keith were like, psychos.

[Frank Alvarez]

I remember because he lived around the block from you.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And I remember going there and they had this dog named Molly or Dolly. I think it was Dolly.

[Jose Negato]

I remember.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it was like a big white. Almost like, looked like a big doodle, you know. And this poor dog, man. Like, you know, having to, like, run back and forth with Shane because he was a bit of a psychopath. Like, you know, it was so weird. Like.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Everything we went through with O's, everything we went through, like, it was traumatic. I mean, honestly, I almost got sick.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

So I don't know if we said. I don't know. Have we spoken about what happened immediately after we finished recording? Oh, with you?

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. Hold on. Let me get to the ads and

[Frank Alvarez]

then we'll get to the ads.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, we'll talk about the trick that he did to Anne. This is a good little cliffhanger. We're leaving people on here.

All right, so obviously you guys at this point have seen the episode that we do with O's, and we recorded that. Mind blowing.

[Ant Prisco]

Whatever.

[Jose Negato]

I stepped away for a second just to get, like some water and like,

[Frank Alvarez]

figure out my life, not pass out.

[Jose Negato]

And I come back and Ant has his phone like this and he's in a defense position and he. And he's over here. And then he goes, he's like, all right, Ant, think of a globe, right? I don't know if you appreciate me, like, paraphrasing his trick, but he's like,

[Frank Alvarez]

think of a globe.

[Ant Prisco]

Spin the globe.

[Jose Negato]

Then you put your finger on a place.

[Frank Alvarez]

What.

[Jose Negato]

What we like. And then he's like, type it into Google. Right?

[Ant Prisco]

Mental globe, by the way. There was no glow. It's like, essentially just think of a place on the entire world.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. And then he was like, type it into Google, but don't press send.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then he goes, okay, delete that.

[Jose Negato]

Well, first he goes, would they guess it? And Ants, like, probably not. And he goes, all right, if you're not 100, sure. Think of a different one.

[Frank Alvarez]

He goes, delete it. Think of a different one. Now Ant is Oz and I are standing here. Basically, he's over and Ants over there. He's like maybe 25ft away.

[Ant Prisco]

He could not see my phone. And I was making sure.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, he could not.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, like he. And he could not see. He didn't touch any. He was standing here. Yeah, you were over there. And then he goes, okay. And he looks at me and he grabs his whiteboard and he goes, this is the second place that you typed in, right?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. And he goes, go to images.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

And then he's like, look at images. Look at the first image. He's like, now, now, picture that. And then he starts writing on his little. Once he said images. I'm like, you literally said, you're code.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm like, yo, you're fucked.

[Jose Negato]

He's got you.

[Ant Prisco]

So I had to pick a spot on the globe. I got it. He said, all right, get rid of that. I had to pick another spot on a whim. And I got it. And then he told me to show you.

[Jose Negato]

And then I looked at it.

[Ant Prisco]

You looked at it again. He couldn't see anything. And then he asked me to go to images. Like, just the pictures of the place.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

And then he wrote down.

[Jose Negato]

Well, then he goes. He goes, say the. He's like, say the play. Oh, no. He was like. When you go to images, was the first thing you saw. He was like, pyramids. Turns the thing around. He had drawn three pyramids.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

And then we're like, what the fuck?

[Frank Alvarez]

How do you do that?

[Jose Negato]

He goes, oh, by the way, your first one, Madagascar.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yo, we were. Yo, I. We couldn't. I, like, it was just. And I knew you were fucked because you. Well, I guess you went. Okay, now, hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, like, immediately went like. What you guys don't see about it is, like, when we're not recording, he's very, like, I consider you very analytical. Like, you're trying to understand things and, like, break things down and so, like, how they work. And you immediately went into, like, hold on a second. You couldn't physically comprehend.

[Jose Negato]

He immediately turned into the thinker. He was like, hold on.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, yo, seriously, figure this out. And yo, legit. There were comments on some of those clips that were just like, this is acting. This is staged.

[Jose Negato]

Not at all.

[Frank Alvarez]

If you trust us for nothing else. Yeah, trust us for the fact that we. Me, if not Joey, I would have been like, gotcha. You didn't do it. I couldn't believe it.

[Jose Negato]

Well, I honestly had so much anxiety because I was like, this is going to be so weird if.

[Sponsor/Ad Reader]

If.

[Jose Negato]

If he. If it doesn't work. So I was so nervous the whole time that it wouldn't work. And then once it. Once he did the first trick, then I was like, what is happening now, bro?

[Frank Alvarez]

I was sitting there and. And I. I really genuinely had, like. Like a. Like, it felt like I was experiencing nausea because I was worried, like, yo, there's no way this kid's going to know Shane Gorman. That's crazy. And, like, there's no way that, like, not only that, he got you to think of that person.

[Jose Negato]

I was thinking of him.

[Frank Alvarez]

And, like. Because he said at the beginning of it too, like, all right, I'm gonna get. I'm gonna see if I get both you guys to think of this person and, like, say that I thought, like,

[Jose Negato]

I was doing it because he was asking, you think of someone that you haven't seen in a while. And I was, like, trying to think of who you would think of, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was thinking, like, I don't know. I don't know. I do not know. But then, like, I'm sitting there and I'm, like, worried, like, yo, there's no way he's gonna come up with Shane Gorman. Like, that's such a. Like, who have you, Gorman?

[Jose Negato]

I don't know, man.

[Ant Prisco]

Dude, could.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't know. I was like.

[Jose Negato]

I did see comments. These guys are actors.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. Thank you for the compliment for thinking I can do that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. And also, where's my Oscar? Because I'm saying, if that was. If that was acting, we deserve to be recognized because, boy, oh, boy.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, that was. That was crazy. So. But the fact that he got Madagascar.

[Ant Prisco]

He got Madagascar and Egypt. But I'll tell you what, as soon as he said, take out your phone, I went, here we go. He wants to do one. He wants to magic on me, so

[Jose Negato]

I don't want it. Was that your first time being magicked upon?

[Ant Prisco]

No. When I was younger, a magician, I don't think Oz would consider this guy the same. Was like a table magician.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Stole my watch. One of those.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, you. Like, I seen. I've seen those people that. I'll just, like, they put their arm around them and then they just, like, slowly take it off.

[Ant Prisco]

Fully took my watch. Had. I had no idea. I went, don't do that.

[Jose Negato]

I. I like that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Pickpockets.

[Jose Negato]

I like, watch YouTube videos. Because there was a time where I was like, I want to pick pocket one more time. Pit pick.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, no, I'm not.

[Jose Negato]

This. The.

[Frank Alvarez]

The pronunciation of that is not what I'm harping on. It's the fact that you wanted to aspire to be. You probably watched Ocean's Eleven. That's what it was.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, I definitely enjoyed that. If I could. If I could knock off a casino. Come on.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're like, damn, Matt Damon got it going on. Yeah, dude, I. I can't. I've seen those videos. And again, I'm. I'm one of those people that's just like, I'm not going to believe it until it happens to me. And lo and behold, O's did his thing.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, it's kind of out, like. It's wild when it happens to you because you're like, you. It's hard to. Because then you see the comments and you're like, this is funny. Also, I did see some comments being like, this is dark magic. He's a demon. I'm like, all right, there's an explanation.

[Ant Prisco]

Becca.

[Frank Alvarez]

She goes, that's cool. But there's some darkness there. And I'm like, what are you saying? And she's like, also, she said to me, she's like, he grabbed your hand and said he took your Soul that felt like, I don't know, like, babe, come on. And then she goes, are you sure?

[Jose Negato]

Well, he also openly is like, I'm not doing magic. I'm doing like. Like clearly there's an explanation for the thing I'm doing. It's not supernatural.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, I feel supernatural. I. I can't even begin to explain the experience. But like, yeah, Becca was one of those people that was just like, it's a little dark.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, and then she said later, she's like, he touched your hand. Did he feel something? Because he knew that you thought Raphael Nadal was handsome. It's like, what do you mean? She's like, you know, you just left. Like it was written on you. Yeah. Like, you just, like in my head, like, figured out I'm secretly gay for

[Jose Negato]

Rafael Nadal, of all people.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, not a bad look looking

[Jose Negato]

guy during the US Open. I am Frankie's secret. Yes.

[Frank Alvarez]

Don't do that. Don't do that.

[Jose Negato]

Writing it down.

[Frank Alvarez]

I know you typed out. You write down these time codes, but that was. That was incredible.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, I love Magic man. Damn. What else can we get in here?

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, we have to get. We've gotten a doctor, right? We've gotten.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, we gotta get. What's his name?

[Frank Alvarez]

Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

[Jose Negato]

First of all, I was thinking Neil Patrick Harris and I was like, that's.

[Frank Alvarez]

We could get an NPH too.

[Jose Negato]

But I was thinking Neil DeGrasse.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, Neil Degrasse, him in there. Like, he will. Like, what made O's did his thing. Dr. Mike did his thing. But he was very patient and kind with us.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Something tells me we would break Neil DeGrasse and he'd be like, fuck you guys.

[Jose Negato]

To be fair, I think I did see a clip of him on Theo Fonts podcast and I'm pretty sure Theo asked him if space was gay.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, he did.

[Jose Negato]

And then he just gave an answer.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Which is miss a beat.

[Frank Alvarez]

Which is crazy.

[Jose Negato]

So, like, it makes me pretty confident that like, like he would have an answer for stuff.

[Frank Alvarez]

I just think that, like, there's so many, like, we can do a body health doctor. We could do a space doctor. We could do a food doctor. Space doctor. You know what I'm talking about? Like, yeah, magic doctor. Magic doc. We got magic doctor. We got YouTube doctors with, you know, red link. We could do space doctor. Next. Food doctor. What else?

[Jose Negato]

Neil DeGrasse Tyson would be a funny. That's funny one.

[Ant Prisco]

I think that's.

[Frank Alvarez]

I would love to speak to. Have you Ever seen those. Those videos that are, like. They're. They're called, like. I think they're through. I don't remember, but it's like, tech support. But it's like, paleontology support. And they'll have a paleontologist answer questions from, like, people that submit them online or, like, you know, astrophysicist support. They're actually pretty interesting. But, like, a fossil doctor. That'd be a cool one.

[Jose Negato]

Fossil doctor. It's like a title.

[Frank Alvarez]

Paleontologist, I think.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, well, that's. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, their doctorate of paleontology.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

There's got to be about someone that's

[Ant Prisco]

found treasure or something. Like Indiana. Like. Like National Treasure. Indiana Jones or something.

[Jose Negato]

Like a pirate.

[Frank Alvarez]

No, like a treasure. I know what you're talking about. Like.

[Ant Prisco]

Like a treasure hunter or something.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like National Treasure.

[Ant Prisco]

Yes, something.

[Jose Negato]

First of all, that also is very high on my bucket list.

[Frank Alvarez]

To find the national Treasure.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. To like. Like, that movie is like. Like, that is a great example of what if I kept my childhood brain and never matured, if that's what I would do with my life.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, I'm shocked. You haven't seen any of the Indiana Jones movies.

[Jose Negato]

I. Yeah, I got. I mean, it was.

[Frank Alvarez]

You would fall in love. Like, each of them kind of, like, more.

[Jose Negato]

I love National Treasure. Like, I love the fact that he's like, oh, there's a shadow. And it. And then it's like these glasses that you could read, and there's different things to read.

[Frank Alvarez]

Raiders of the Lost Ark. You're going to like.

[Jose Negato]

You're really.

[Frank Alvarez]

What Have I. Why have I not. And also. Yeah. Have you seen the movies? The Indiana Jones movies? Yeah, of course. Big Disney guy. Of course.

[Ant Prisco]

That's a little before that.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

It's fair.

[Frank Alvarez]

They were Lucasfilm. I like the first one and then the Last Crusade. Because you were a kid of God, you would love the Last Crusade also.

[Jose Negato]

Kid of God.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. It's like them searching for the Holy Grail.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, okay.

[Frank Alvarez]

And, like, there's all, like, booby traps and no real boobies.

[Jose Negato]

I don't think I love booby traps, dude.

[Frank Alvarez]

Why do you think I love Legends of the Hidden Temple?

[Jose Negato]

So booby traps are just so good. Like, if I. If I got caught in a booby trap, a part of me for a second would be, like, what innovation?

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, like. Like, whoever put this together is modern ingenuity.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. Like, it's like a spike thing that I caught, but also, like, this is

[Frank Alvarez]

unbelievable, the idea of going out, like, dying. Because, like, if you say, like, oh, he died because he fell in a pit.

[Jose Negato]

Boo.

[Frank Alvarez]

But, like, he died by booby trap. Yeah. Awesome way to die.

[Jose Negato]

Like, if I was, like, walking through the jungle, first of all, I wouldn't be doing that. But if I was walking through the jungle and then all of a sudden, like, I step somewhere and a rope pulls me up. And then like, there's like, dude, a nest of. Of monkeys, and they're, like, ripping my face apart. I'd be like. For a second, I'd be like, this is. Someone has to be so validated and like, oh, my God, do you know

[Frank Alvarez]

how bad I want to get caught in a net? I want to walk through, like, leaves, and then a big net just swallow me and pull me up. Yeah. You know how cool that probably is? Yeah, for, like, maybe a minute.

[Jose Negato]

You know what? I actually want to be tied to a big stick of bamboo and carried to a village. And that's dangerous.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Oh, you mean, like, over the shoulder to, like, slow roast you over a fire?

[Jose Negato]

Like, it does look cut. Like, it does look kind of fun. Like, on the way there.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, it looks like. Honestly, it would be painful because they, like, tight. They, like, hog tie you. Yeah. So, like, you'll be, like, tied with a thing of bamboo going through your arms and, like. Like, you're, like, hanging and like that.

[Jose Negato]

But in the movies, they always find a way out.

[Frank Alvarez]

I do want to be treated.

[Ant Prisco]

Not always.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah, sometimes they do. You ever see, what was it? Green Inferno?

[Ant Prisco]

Don't even though.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, I'm thinking more of, like, Pirates of the Caribbean that, you know, they

[Frank Alvarez]

should have experiences where, like, you could be treated like you were captured in the jungle. You know what I'm saying? Like, they do escape rooms. Cool. Whatever. For the intellectually inclined, fine.

[Jose Negato]

You just want to get caught.

[Frank Alvarez]

I just want to be like, go run through this jungle. And then you step on a rope and it swings you up and you need to cut yourself with, like, a

[Jose Negato]

jagged rock and then you hit the ground.

[Frank Alvarez]

Dude, when we were kids at the lake, we used to. We thought we were building a treehouse, and we were like, we're only going to use rocks as tools, and we didn't.

[Jose Negato]

Sure. Well, you and, like, like, my brothers, Brian, we're going to use the rocks as tools, but build a tree house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The parents are probably thrilled about that. They're like, they'll be at that the whole summer.

[Frank Alvarez]

Well, because it was like, you know, next to where my cabin is, there was, like, that little cove with, like, that Little island on there. If you go to it, I don't know if it's still there, but we had like nailed a plank into the tree and it was like the first step. And then we like found rocks that were like jagged and we were like, we can cut stuff with this. Yeah, we never did.

[Jose Negato]

When you're a kid. Oh, God, there's nothing better than that of, like, what this is possible. Or you just get a stick and be like, I'm a wizard. And now it's a sword. And now. Ow, my elbow.

[Frank Alvarez]

I was playing outside with the girls yesterday and I found a stick and we were playing like magic wand and I was just.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And it was so cool.

[Jose Negato]

I wish. I remember after the last Harry Potter movie, I was like, oh, we're not going back to Hogwarts next year. And I was like, damn wizardry is not real. And this pisses me off because I would love to go to Hogwarts and

[Frank Alvarez]

just like, I've yet to go to the Universal Hogwarts Experience. I have a feeling.

[Jose Negato]

Outrageous.

[Frank Alvarez]

It's gonna cost a couple bucks. Sure.

[Jose Negato]

Are your children into Harry Potter?

[Frank Alvarez]

Miles? Big time. Loves Harry Potter. Great, bro. Speaking of crying like a baby watching that movie with him having to explain spoiler. I'm not gonna spoil it. Like one of the. You know what I'm talking about? Like, I was getting choked up. Explained to him, like, it's all about love. You know what I mean? It's all about love. Ants looking at me like someone that couldn't care less about Harry Potter.

[Ant Prisco]

I feel like I was following along and then I didn't know what movie you were talking about. I feel like I just lost myself.

[Jose Negato]

You know, the first part one.

[Frank Alvarez]

No. Do I. Do I need to say the line always?

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

You know, And I was one, I think.

[Jose Negato]

Am I bugging?

[Ant Prisco]

He's talking about Deathly Hollows part one, right?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, yeah, I think it is part one.

[Frank Alvarez]

But like the arc. Oh, God. I like, cried explaining it to him.

[Jose Negato]

That's so funny.

[Frank Alvarez]

And the kids, you know, if it's not K pop Demon Hunters, the girls don't really care about it right now.

[Jose Negato]

That sucks. But no, it's good. No, no, I mean, like, it sucks that they're not into Harry Potter. Harry Potter's amazing, dude.

[Frank Alvarez]

They'll get there.

[Jose Negato]

Like, dude, in Harry Potter, like, if you have children that are really into Harry Potter and then you walk into.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Islands of. Is it islands of adventure that I'm

[Ant Prisco]

thinking of, but it has both. Like, both.

[Jose Negato]

Well, I'm talking about when you get to Hogsmeade. It's, like, unbelievable.

[Frank Alvarez]

I can't. I can't wait.

[Jose Negato]

Was that a question? Yeah, I can't wait.

[Frank Alvarez]

I want to go. Like, we've. We've discussed going soon.

[Jose Negato]

It's so good.

[Frank Alvarez]

But I'm gonna need help. I literally have recruited so far one person to assist me with everything.

[Jose Negato]

You're gonna need to go fund me, too.

[Frank Alvarez]

I will need both of you. I know. I know, bro. I talked to my neighbor, and he was just like. We literally hired someone who scheduled and paid for everything, came with us, waited on lines for us, and, like, that wait online. Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

He said, you're gonna have to do

[Frank Alvarez]

fast, but he said he's like, we did all that stuff, and they waited on the line. So, like, when it was our turn, we just walked up and took her spot.

[Jose Negato]

Wow. I didn't know that was, like, a thing you could do.

[Frank Alvarez]

Take a wild guess what something like

[Jose Negato]

that costs just for that part of the whole trip.

[Frank Alvarez]

I think he said that they went for, like, three days.

[Jose Negato]

The whole trip? Yeah. I mean, it's over 10 grand.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're close. I'm not gonna give away, like, the actual amount, but, yeah, it's a lot.

[Ant Prisco]

Are they staying on property or off property?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah, it's a big one.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's a. I didn't specify if you

[Jose Negato]

do stay on property.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, I'm not. I'm not talking about what the whole thing costs. I'm talking about what that service cost.

[Jose Negato]

I was like, that's close to 10 grand.

[Ant Prisco]

Like, the VIP stuff kind of.

[Jose Negato]

I don't think that's worth it.

[Ant Prisco]

You get. You get a handler.

[Frank Alvarez]

That's what the person was. It was basically a handle.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, like, this is through Disney.

[Frank Alvarez]

No. Oh, it's like a per. Like just a by itself service.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Ant Prisco]

I don't know.

[Frank Alvarez]

Then replace that. AI.

[Jose Negato]

Damn. I miss it. I want to go back already. We had such a good time that time.

[Ant Prisco]

I'm going in, like, four days Off.

[Frank Alvarez]

Off. Off. If you.

[Jose Negato]

You're gonna get a butterbeer.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Is it beer?

[Ant Prisco]

No.

[Frank Alvarez]

Damn it.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do they sell alcohol there, but they call, like, a cool Harry Potter?

[Jose Negato]

There's alcohol there everywhere.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, they had. There's a bar in Harry Potter World that has, like, the hog on ahead. It's a hog's head, but it talks to you. It's called Hogsmeade. You get beer there. It's funny.

[Frank Alvarez]

Do you get me? How stupid do you think we are? We know Harry Potter.

[Ant Prisco]

You don't know the place exists.

[Frank Alvarez]

But I know Harry Potter. I know Hogsmeade

[Jose Negato]

guy, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

But also, Hogsmeade's called the place, not the bar. It's. I believe it's a leaky cauldron.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, he might be right, actually.

[Frank Alvarez]

What, that the place is called Leaky.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, you might be right.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, that would make more sense.

[Ant Prisco]

But there's a Hog Head.

[Frank Alvarez]

Because hogs means, like, the town, dude. It's like Steinway.

[Jose Negato]

That's for no one. That's just for me and you. We know Steinway. That's like Steinway. Damn. I'm jealous, though. Have you ever bought a wand there?

[Ant Prisco]

No. They're bread.

[Frank Alvarez]

How much? Yeah, how much?

[Ant Prisco]

Be like 180.

[Jose Negato]

Get the out of here. Yeah, $180.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah, but you can. You. You can go around to specific points, and if you have the wand, you could do magic and, like, it does stuff.

[Frank Alvarez]

I'm letting you know we have already publicly announced that we're doing more live shows. Yeah, we're gonna need to get those if I want to go.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, man. Especially if. If, like, your daughters get into Harry Potter and you got three people, bro.

[Frank Alvarez]

If Miles looks at me with. He doesn't even need to, like. You know, sometimes kids can play into the whole, like, plea. If he just looks at me happy, I'll be like, whatever you want.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I don't care.

[Ant Prisco]

And you watch the families where the three kids have the full cloaks that they bought in the store and the three wands, and they're going around doing magic. My God.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

This guy must own a hedge fund.

[Frank Alvarez]

God. I'm telling you, I might be that guy. And it might.

[Jose Negato]

I mean, you're gonna.

[Ant Prisco]

I think you will.

[Frank Alvarez]

I might. Like. But I'm telling you right now, if I get put in a Slytherin or something stupid like Hufflepuff, I'm gonna be pissed.

[Ant Prisco]

You can buy them. You could buy them.

[Frank Alvarez]

Oh, I can pick. Don't they have the Sorting Hat there, though? And he's just, like, filthy, stinky, stinky Slytherin. It's a pretty good impression. They put it on Joey's head, they'll be like, all right, I smell money. Okay. White. Yo. You know that Sorting Hat was racist as hell, dude. Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, my God, that's true.

[Ant Prisco]

Which house would it be in? You gotta finish.

[Frank Alvarez]

We know what house he'd be in because he'd pay his way into Gryffindor. We've already gone over this a bunch of times. We've looked at what houses. We would.

[Jose Negato]

What do you think you are?

[Ant Prisco]

I don't know. Slytherin, probably.

[Frank Alvarez]

You're not cool enough for Slither. Who do you think you are? I also love before the movie. I also love Slytherin. Before the movie, it was fully based on being racist. I love how people just like, was it. I love how they're just like, well, I'm cunning. I would be a Slytherin. It's like the founder was just like, if you're a Mud Blood, you're out, dude.

[Ant Prisco]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Like also Crab and Barf or whatever their names are. Was it Crab and Goyle? Was it Crab and Goyle?

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

Wasn't Slytherin before the movie, like the powerhouse of the school? And then Gryffindor just became cool because.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yes, Salazar, Slytherin was just like, I don't want anyone ill. Your parents are not just magic. Get out of here. Yeah, dude.

[Ant Prisco]

I mean, I guess I don't know

[Frank Alvarez]

the lore, maybe Hufflepuff, I believe that was like. I don't really. There's nothing.

[Jose Negato]

If they do more Harry Potter stuff, we should probably dive into those two houses a little bit because I don't. There's not really a highlight.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. I mean, the game kind of like, if you could. If you get placed in one of those. I know that. There's so much lore, Frank.

[Jose Negato]

If the game placed me in anything other than Gryffindor, I'm snapping it.

[Frank Alvarez]

I. I believe that first because it was like, they place you and then you could say, nope, I want to go there. I think they had placed me in like, Ravenclaws. They did. And you, you're like, yo, this game, it.

[Ant Prisco]

Ravenclaw is like the studious ones, right? And Hufflepuff, aren't they just popping potions? I might do that one.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. They're like drug addicts. So you have Gryffindor that are just like.

[Jose Negato]

They're kind of like.

[Frank Alvarez]

They're like the heroic, but also arrogant.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

Slytherin. They're like, they're cunning. They're just racist. Yeah. And they use slurs. Mud blood.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

And then Hufflepuff was just like.

[Ant Prisco]

Like, I'd be popping potions. I'll be Hufflepuff.

[Jose Negato]

The.

[Frank Alvarez]

The stoners.

[Jose Negato]

I'll be at Hogsmeade getting after it. Oh, yeah, you're in Ravenclaw, walking out into the forest.

[Frank Alvarez]

I mean, Ravenclaw's not the worst, in my opinion, because the name is pretty cool.

[Jose Negato]

Yeah.

[Frank Alvarez]

I like Raven. Ravens and claws are Cool.

[Jose Negato]

Both cool.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Hufflepuff.

[Jose Negato]

It's a little.

[Frank Alvarez]

Get the.

[Jose Negato]

It sounds like a Pokemon.

[Frank Alvarez]

It does. Yes. Exactly like it would. It would be like a ball of smoke.

[Jose Negato]

What are you. What are you researching?

[Ant Prisco]

Just looking at what Hufflepuff does.

[Jose Negato]

What do they do?

[Ant Prisco]

It's a operators community acting as the glue that holds people together through dedication and strong moral compass.

[Jose Negato]

Wow, that's nice.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. Feels like me fine. What do they say about Slytherin? And immediately just add a couple hard Rs to it.

[Ant Prisco]

Oh, God, I have to spell Slytherin.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, yeah, you're probably over there having a tough.

[Ant Prisco]

Mmm. A drive to succeed. Often aiming for leadership positions and striving to be the best in their endeavors. I could not. Slytherin.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah.

[Jose Negato]

If you're white.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. White nationalism. We strive to be the best at our endeavors. If you're blonde hair, blue eyed. Yeah.

[Ant Prisco]

The ends justify the means.

[Frank Alvarez]

Yeah. This is all sounds very proud, boyish, a little tough.

[Jose Negato]

Oh, man. All right, well, there you have it, folks. I don't really. I mean, I had to do a stretch like that. I don't know, I just felt good. But Frank, where can they find you?
