Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
How did you put lotion in your eye?
Ant Prisco
I have this lotion that I put underneath my eyes and it was getting into the corner of my. My eye and then it kept burning it. And I thought it was my contacts, but then I realized I'm getting lotion in my eyes. So my eyes been red for like three days.
Frank Alvarez
What, like you were like squirting lotion?
Ant Prisco
No, no, no. It's like a cream that goes underneath right here. It's just for this part of your eye.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, it's like.
Ant Prisco
And then it was like seeping into the corner and it, like, fucked up. You see how my eyes like a little red? Like, it was.
Frank Alvarez
It's. It was a lot. So you're applying lotion to your eye and then it just gets in your eyeball and it fucks up your. Your whole vision.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, I was getting too close to the corner.
Frank Alvarez
You were getting too close.
Ant Prisco
The corner was sucking in all the lotion.
Frank Alvarez
So you were like getting lotion in your eye.
Ant Prisco
So far, two for two.
Frank Alvarez
Come on.
Ant Prisco
So far, two for two.
Frank Alvarez
Come on. I mean, that's easy. That's low hanging fruit there, baby. The fruit's just right in front of your face. Low hanging and batting you around in the eyes.
Ant Prisco
I don't. That. But that's why I wear my glasses, because that's what Google told me.
Frank Alvarez
Like, that's like. That's. What's that. What's that style? There's like a. That's. That's a style. It's like horn rimmed or something like that. Whoa, dude. Is that not it? Oh, what did I say?
Ant Prisco
Horn rimmed.
Frank Alvarez
Horn rimmed glasses. Is that not.
Ant Prisco
You're making a joke about lotion, but not horn rimmed. Come on.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, yeah, that's fair, that's fair. But do you like. Is that like the only, like, style that you have? Because I feel like I've only seen you with that style.
Guest/Producer Ant
Glasses?
Ant Prisco
No, these are new.
Frank Alvarez
Really?
Ant Prisco
I got these like a couple months ago. But I was. I wore the same pair for so long.

Your employer got that vision insurance too, right? Yeah, yeah. Hell yeah. I'm talking about that shit.
Ant Prisco
But you didn't even wear glasses. Really. Yeah, those are fake.

Ant Prisco
Now, is there one for me and one for Frank or both for me?
Guest/Producer Ant
Do you want both?
Ant Prisco
Kind of. Yes.
Frank Alvarez
Now, for some reason he. You said that in a way that makes me think that one of those things is offensive. So I would say give them both.
Ant Prisco
Are they offensive? Are they gonna hurt?
Guest/Producer Ant
No, no, they're real gifts. I just wanted to say like, thank you guys for everything.
Ant Prisco
Wait, hold on. Is this real? Yeah.

Am I crazy?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. I mean, not.

Not camera though, right?
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, that's probably.
Frank Alvarez
I think it started at the exact same time.
Guest/Producer Ant
At least my voice. My voice on here for about a year. At least.
Ant Prisco
Like, at first I feel like it was very light. Now we can't get you to shut up.
Frank Alvarez
I. Oh, you see how. And I get in trouble.
Ant Prisco
First of all, you're trying to dig yourself out of a hole. You're in timeout.
Frank Alvarez
He's. Second of all, I'm not in timeout. I'm breaking out. I've broken out of time out. He's doing that while I have.
Guest/Producer Ant
I'm presenting gifts.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, this is very sweet. So this is a seriously sincere thing. Like, you're not Being like, ha, ha, here's a fucking. Shut up now.

Guest/Producer Ant
It was just. Thank you. Thank you to you, too. And thank you to everybody who accepted me here. I have gifts.
Frank Alvarez
What do you say to the people that didn't accept you?
Ant Prisco
We also don't know if they have accepted you, technically.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, that's true. We kind of.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, we kind of forced it up in theory.
Frank Alvarez
You kind of just shoved. You. You got shoved down the throats of these people. It is true.
Guest/Producer Ant
Would you like the gifts?
Ant Prisco
I would love them. Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, sure. I. So I. Who's gonna get the bigger one? I. I imagine you. Yeah, I saw that coming. Oh, it feels like a book you need to overcome. If that's a book. What, brother? Like a big Santa book. Can I just say this? Exceptionally well wrapped.
Ant Prisco
Great.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, this is thick wrapping paper.
Ant Prisco
Yo, the wrapping paper here is crazy.
Frank Alvarez
And something tells me.
Ant Prisco
Oh, this is framed. It's a frame.
Frank Alvarez
You didn't wrap this? No, I didn't. You absolutely didn't wrap this. I gotta say, congrats on the wrap. It looks great.
Ant Prisco
This is expensive wrapping paper.
Frank Alvarez
This is good. Yeah.
Ant Prisco
This isn't some. Like, you can't poke a hole in this baby.
Frank Alvarez
No, I mean, you can, but is there, like, a specific order as to who should open theirs first?
Ant Prisco
I love that question. Because it's. That's how you open gifts.
Guest/Producer Ant
I guess you. I guess you should open it first.
Frank Alvarez
I don't even know like that.
Guest/Producer Ant
I don't know how much you'll like.
Ant Prisco
Wait, I'm smelling a Christmas tree. Is this scented? Am I. Am I bugging?
Frank Alvarez
Mine smells like. Like chemicals.
Guest/Producer Ant
You have to scratch it first. Scratch and stuff.
Ant Prisco
No, no. Now you're with me. I was, but it. But. Yo, am I bugging? Yo, it low key. Smells like pine.
Frank Alvarez
And we know he doesn't have a real tree, and that ain't one.
Ant Prisco
That ain't.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, well, if you have a fake tree, you put the pine scented sticks.
Frank Alvarez
I know, and I hate it so much. I think that's so me. All right, so I'm supposed to go first.
Ant Prisco
Pop it open.
Guest/Producer Ant
You go first.
Ant Prisco
Imagine it's just, oh, he's one of these. You know, it's interesting. We're gonna see how people open gifts.
Guest/Producer Ant

Guest/Producer Ant
You don't have to, though.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I will.
Ant Prisco

Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, yeah, you just. You put it in the top. You. You. And it does it automatically on your glass.
Ant Prisco
That's beautiful.
Frank Alvarez
Breaking things already. This is really thoughtful. Thank you so much, man. I really, really appreciate that. That's. I fucked that up.

Sorry, you lost me. Not a big amaretto guy. Scotch back in. Whoa. And that's it.
Ant Prisco
Nice. Yeah.
Guest/Producer Ant

Excuse me. Is that a leak?
Frank Alvarez
Bourbon Saint Germain, Triple sec? Hell, yeah.
Ant Prisco

Frank Alvarez
Did you ask? Oh, shit.
Ant Prisco
Oh, I'm opening this perfectly because it's the back, so I get.
Frank Alvarez
That's a good. I mean, a good wrapper is going to put it on the right way, too. Oh, and there's some hanging material. There's some ready. Oh, I think I thought you were supposed to show the crowd first.
Guest/Producer Ant
I got you some wall art. It's called the perfect Martini.
Frank Alvarez
That is awesome. I love that.
Ant Prisco
I am putting. I know exactly where this is Going.
Frank Alvarez
In my apartment is the colorway in an apartment space. Yeah. Oh, I love that.
Ant Prisco
I have, like, a little, like, a.
Frank Alvarez
Thing, and now I can put this above it.
Guest/Producer Ant
That's what I thought.
Frank Alvarez
It's perfect. Yeah. Got a lighter? Anyone got a lighter? I'm about to. Like this, you know. Perfect.
Ant Prisco
This is actually. I do have, like, these color accents.
Frank Alvarez
In my apartment, so it works in transition. Seamless transition into the colorway.
Ant Prisco
Thank you, Ant.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, of course. That's awesome.
Guest/Producer Ant
You're a.
Ant Prisco
You know what? I'm a big fan of, like, this. That's, like. I feel like sometimes with people with gifts, it's, like, very, very personalized, and there's not a lot of utility. This is nice. That is nice. These are great gifts.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. You're a good gift guy.
Ant Prisco
You're a gift.
Frank Alvarez
Gift.
Ant Prisco
Good gift.
Frank Alvarez
Good gift guy.
Ant Prisco
You're a good gift.
Frank Alvarez
Good for you for being good gift guy. You know, I'm glad you enjoyed. I am going to smoke the out of this, let me tell you.
Guest/Producer Ant
Good.
Frank Alvarez
I'll smoke it right now.
Ant Prisco
You should take it. And don't put it on a glass.
Frank Alvarez
Just put it on your mouth. I think that'll be harmful to my health.
Ant Prisco
You're drinking scotch, dude. That's.
Frank Alvarez
You know what?
Ant Prisco
Healthy.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, be honest with me. Have you ever, like, not felt great and you had a little whiskey or something?
Ant Prisco
No.
Frank Alvarez
Because you think it's gonna, like, destroy the bad stuff I've done.
Ant Prisco
I've, like, heard that.
Frank Alvarez
I've done it.
Ant Prisco
It definitely feels like it when it's in your mouth, Frank. You can't go. You can't keep doing it.
Frank Alvarez
I can let you go. I can just let you. I just let. I can let the world digest that. No, I. I've had, like, a tickle in my throat and just be like, I'm gonna blast it with something, so why not be scotch?
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Is that wrong?
Ant Prisco
I think it's. I think it might be incorrect. I think. Well, I have seen videos on TikTok of, like, here's bacteria underneath a microscope, and then you add, like, some whiskey or scotch and they all die.
Frank Alvarez
Well, like, that's what they used to do back in the days of the Civil War, and they. They were. They were onto something. Half of them were onto something.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Let's be very clear.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Frank Alvarez
They were. Half of them would be like, ow, my leg hurts. Let me, you know, clean it with, you know, whiskey.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
The other half would be like, ow, I want to keep my slaves. Let me clean it with Whiskey.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
One of those sentiments. The good one, the northern one I agree with. Right?
Ant Prisco
Yes, exactly.
Frank Alvarez
Be very clear. Yeah. Okay.
Guest/Producer Ant
I also got myself something.
Ant Prisco
What's that?
Guest/Producer Ant
I got a little Christmas tree trophy because I won the Christmas tree decorating.
Ant Prisco
Poll on fuck you guys having a wee good gift giver got a little tree, won a contest. Also's got just a big fat mess of a dick.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Apparently stupid dick.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Just an absolute.
Guest/Producer Ant
I just wanted to toss that.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, you. You and Frank Sinatra who apparently has a 19 pound cock. Was not you, dude. Yeah. 19.
Frank Alvarez
Paul Anka. Who's like an old timey singer.
Ant Prisco
Paul Anka.
Frank Alvarez
Paul Anka.
Ant Prisco
Paul Anka.
Frank Alvarez
Anka.
Ant Prisco
Oh, isn't Palenca somebody.
Frank Alvarez
Polenta is a like.
Ant Prisco
Isn't that like.
Frank Alvarez
It's like an Italian. Like it's a mushy rice. It's. It's almost like grits.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, yeah.
Frank Alvarez
It's like a corn paste kind of like that. I'm into. I'm into grits.
Ant Prisco
I like mushy shit.
Frank Alvarez
Oh.
Ant Prisco
You know what I mean?
Frank Alvarez
Really?
Ant Prisco
Yeah. I like like mashed potatoes when they're mushed.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. But I like a little like on certain stuff, a little texture. Like, I think they do like palenta cakes, but they'll like pan fry them so you get a bit of a char crust on the outside and the inside is creamy.
Ant Prisco
Oh, yeah.
Frank Alvarez
And mushy. Yeah. But big fat dick though. Yeah. Apparently you and Frank Sinatra, you guys share a dick.
Ant Prisco
Share it. Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
You also share a love for alcohol, you know. Yeah. I think if we start naming things.
Ant Prisco
Same listening age on spot.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, we could. We. I think we'll be able to find a pretty consistent like through line. Through line between Frank Sinatra and Aunt Prisco.
Ant Prisco
Wow.
Frank Alvarez
You know, what was the story with his big. Well, Paul Anka came out and said like it was true, he had just like too much dick. And like the joke was if he was £120, £19 was dick. Oh, bro.
Ant Prisco
I was under the assumption that he actually had a 19 pound penis. I'd be like, bro, you can't use that.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, no way. I will say this. Regardless of size, if people are measuring your girth, your cock in weight, you've won.
Ant Prisco
How much do you think your penis weighs without it. Without your balls?
Frank Alvarez
Not £19.
Ant Prisco
I was on the news two days ago and they asked me what the podcast was about. Apple, how much does penis weighs?
Frank Alvarez
I. I can't give a number.
Ant Prisco
Grams.
Frank Alvarez
Excuse you.
Ant Prisco
I mean, excuse you. Do you think your penis is a pound? I don't know what a pound is.
Frank Alvarez
I think it's not a pound. How do you know?
Ant Prisco
Like, it can't be.
Frank Alvarez
Who the hell are you? This guy's walking around with a dumbbell in his pants. He's like, you don't want this.
Ant Prisco
It's a tough life to live with a fucking heavy wiener.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, tell us how difficult life is while your fucking tip scrapes against the floor when you walk. Yeah, I'm getting too intense about it.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. I think the details.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, what do you think? Can you. What is yours way.
Ant Prisco
When I'm thinking about weighing it, I'm thinking about, like, weighing a dust and.
Frank Alvarez
Not because, like, a food scale.
Ant Prisco
Like.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Like, I'm thinking about, like, how much sugar. You ever see those videos about how much sugar?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Where it's just like, you're drinking of Coca Cola. Here's the 50 grams of sugar.
Ant Prisco
That's what I'm thinking about. That's a great, great question.
Frank Alvarez
Tell us, Buddy Holly.
Ant Prisco
Well, the thing is, it's a great song.
Frank Alvarez
So he was also a person, was he? Yeah, dude, I don't know. What's one of the people that died on the plane?
Ant Prisco
The plane?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, the. The day the music died. What this song. American Pie.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Bye Bye Miss American Pie.
Ant Prisco
No, you don't have to sing. I know.
Frank Alvarez
Then that's the day the music died. There was, like, a plane crash. It had, like, the dude that sang La Bamba.
Ant Prisco
I honestly did not know this. I know Leonard Skynyrd died in a. Didn't they died in there?
Frank Alvarez
I believe they did as well. I mean, I'm not gonna. Am I gonna start using my phone during the show? Look up, look, I got plane crash. The day the music died.
Guest/Producer Ant
Okay. At first, I googled what the average weight of a plan penis is.
Ant Prisco
This is good.
Frank Alvarez
I don't know if that is helpful. Thank you. You know what? You've earned your spot right there.
Ant Prisco
There you go.
Guest/Producer Ant
Would you like to guess what the average weight of a penis is? Flaccid.
Ant Prisco
What?
Frank Alvarez
What do we give us? The. Give us the unit of measurement. Right.
Guest/Producer Ant
It's ounces.
Frank Alvarez
Ooh. 16 ounces in a pound.
Ant Prisco
That's a glass of water.
Frank Alvarez
Or is that fluid? That ain't happening. Wait, no, no, no. Fluid. Ounces and weight. Ounces are different things.
Ant Prisco
Okay.
Frank Alvarez
16 ounces is a pint. A f it pint.
Ant Prisco
But what's 16 ounces is a pound, though, I think.
Frank Alvarez
Is it? 8 ounces is a pound, isn't it?
Guest/Producer Ant
12?
Frank Alvarez
Oh, fuck. We're all over the place.
Ant Prisco
Well, regardless, it's not 16. I'm gonna say 7.
Guest/Producer Ant
16 ounces in a pan.
Frank Alvarez
16 ounces is a fucking pound.
Ant Prisco
I'll say 7 ounces is the average.
Frank Alvarez
I'm going bigger than that, baby. I'm going the average. I'm going 10.25 ounces.
Guest/Producer Ant
The average weight of a flaccid penis.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Guest/Producer Ant
Is 2.5 to 3.5 ounces.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Oh, wow.
Frank Alvarez
Are you sure? Because mine is average. It's fucking feel right. Huge and heavy, dude.
Ant Prisco
2.3 ounces. I mean, point of weighing it at that point.
Frank Alvarez
Let's do some simple math here. Simple math. Okay. We got this.
Ant Prisco
We're. We're. I'm already nervous.
Frank Alvarez
We're not stupid. So if the average length of a penis is 5. 5 inches. 2.5 ounces.
Ant Prisco
Right.
Frank Alvarez
So that means that whatever the length is half it for the ounces. The ouncer ship.
Ant Prisco
Right.
Frank Alvarez
So if it's five inches, two and a half ounces.
Ant Prisco
Right.
Frank Alvarez
So if we're going and using that. This guy had a 38. 38. 38 inch.
Guest/Producer Ant
I see the math.
Ant Prisco
That's crazy.
Frank Alvarez
You see it? Which is like.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, there's no way. There's no way.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, you never know. Dude.
Ant Prisco
Crazy.
Frank Alvarez
That was Frankie Blue Eyes. You think you got a small.
Ant Prisco
Frankie Blue Eyes. I love how he picked up Blue Eyes. Frankie Thick Hawk. Frankie's massive nuts.
Frank Alvarez
Fly me to the moon. Riding on his fleshy rocket.
Ant Prisco
Rocket ship of a car.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, that's exactly. I mean, you know, what a guy. What? I mean, I think we. We just deduced.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Average. So you're probably. You're probably rocking, like, 9 ounces. Whoa.
Ant Prisco
That would be insane.
Guest/Producer Ant
I can't. I would.
Frank Alvarez
I can't.
Guest/Producer Ant
I would act very differently, probably.
Frank Alvarez
Elaborate the weight of your penis.
Ant Prisco
Elaborate. Is in correlation with your personality.
Guest/Producer Ant
Probably. Yeah.
Ant Prisco
What would you be more of? Like, just a cocky. Well, you would be more cocky.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah. Inherently. Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Okay. So you would just like, if I guess cocky is the word.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, but I. But. But, like, you know, we all know. It's well documented. He's gonna hate it, but Pete's got a big wiener and here goes.
Frank Alvarez
He'll know we mentioned him because his follower count goes up.
Ant Prisco
Well, the other day, too. He was like, yo, did you say something about me? Because I also. I got a bunch of followers. I was like, I don't think so.
Frank Alvarez
We did.
Ant Prisco
And probably.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, we absolutely did.
Ant Prisco
Or maybe a clip went viral and it. You know. Yeah. They caught wind of the penis.
Frank Alvarez
I will say he Is the rare exception.
Ant Prisco
He doesn't like talking about it, apparently.
Frank Alvarez
That was Frankie Blue Eyes, too.
Ant Prisco
He didn't like talking about his massive wiener.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, because back then, everyone was afraid of being gay. Back then.
Ant Prisco
Having a big wiener makes you gay.
Frank Alvarez
If you talk about a dick, you want to kiss it. Probably that's their mentality. Oh, you know, I. I imagine I. I didn't live at that time. I mean, but I imagine he'd be like, hey, why are you. Why do you care?
Ant Prisco
You know, just a way. Singing.
Frank Alvarez
I imagine Bill Hader and.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I feel like 0 for 5. It feels, though.
Frank Alvarez
Richard Tozier.
Ant Prisco
What am I supposed to know who that is?
Frank Alvarez
Who's that? Richie Tozier. Loser club.
Ant Prisco
Loser club.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, come on.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Oh, the kid from the movie.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Come on, baby.
Ant Prisco
Okay, cool.
Frank Alvarez
You know. Yeah, you should know.
Ant Prisco
All right.
Frank Alvarez
I was going to say, Pete is one of the rare examples of people that is like, I don't want to. I'm humble about my. My fucking hose.
Ant Prisco
Well, think about that. He doesn't talk about it at all. So the fact that.
Frank Alvarez
Which is normal, if we're being honest, right?
Ant Prisco
I mean.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
The fact that it has grown into an urban legend is magical.
Frank Alvarez
It's like, what, it's like Sasquatch in some ways, but also like, the urban legend sense, you know, like, it's like. Like. Like the. Like the Jersey Devil. Like the El Chupacabra. Like, there's other things. The Mothman, you know, everyone has a story about it, but no one can sit and confirm.
Ant Prisco
Like, Medusa type.
Frank Alvarez
Well, Medusa is mythological. I. I think, you know, mine were a lot more closely tied to reality than yours.
Ant Prisco
Well, you know, those are your gods. You're Greek.
Frank Alvarez
You see what he does?
Ant Prisco
I feel like.
Frank Alvarez
See how he did that? Well, so who are your gods, Picasso? You fucking Italian bitch.
Ant Prisco
First of all, that's not even a religion. Italian.
Frank Alvarez
Greek isn't a religion.
Ant Prisco
Greek Orthodox, isn't that a religion?
Frank Alvarez
Orthodox is the religion. Greek is the sect. Yeah, but I don't think Greek Orthodox is like, yo, Zeus, Aphrodite.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, I think so.
Frank Alvarez
I don't think.
Ant Prisco
Go to church. It's like, yo.
Frank Alvarez
I think the only difference.
Ant Prisco
Shit, I only.
Frank Alvarez
I think the only difference is, like, they believe in Jesus, but, like, Jesus was eating spanakopita instead of fucking, you know, bread.
Ant Prisco
Honestly, one of the best contributions that the Greeks have made to society is.
Frank Alvarez
Bro.
Ant Prisco
I don't know if I ever told you this. Nicole thought that was spinach capita.
Frank Alvarez
I mean. I mean, she's she's white, so, I mean, spinach. I mean, I guess the Greeks are white.
Ant Prisco
Sounds like Lois, like, from Family Guy. Spina capita.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, that's like such a. Like, spin. I could see that. I think Becca recently also did the same thing where she was just like, spanakopita. I was just like, I get what you're trying to do. We're gonna have, at that point, quicker. At that point, just call it spinach pie. Yeah, like, you don't. Like. If you can't say it with the accent, you know, like, growing.
Ant Prisco
Me and Frank grew up in a Greek neighborhood. And sometimes, like, it would be around. I believe it's Greek Easter. And all of a sudden the neighborhood, it felt like there was like a cult in town because they do, like. They do, like a fucking chair, like.
Frank Alvarez
Holding the fucking, like.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. And everyone's dressed in white and they have candles. And I was like, yo, yo, what's going on?
Frank Alvarez
Have you seen the inside of a Greek Orthodox church?
Ant Prisco
I've peaked. I don't know if I'm allowed, dude.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, you can walk in. What are they going to say? Get out?
Ant Prisco
They're going to. I mean, the gods will.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, the gods are like.
Ant Prisco
They smite, dude.
Frank Alvarez
I might be sorry. Say sorry.
Ant Prisco
Well, I don't know, but I've peeked in.
Frank Alvarez
Yo.
Ant Prisco
St. Irene's. It looks nice.
Frank Alvarez
Greek Orthodox church. They're into the pomp and circumstance. The flash, let me tell you.
Ant Prisco
They don't throw a bad fare either. That's a good fair.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, Italians throw a pretty good fair.
Ant Prisco
The Italians throw a good fair, but a lot of rats.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, that's just the. That's just the place. That has nothing to do with the fair. Well, I know. It's the food. For a split second, I thought you might have been talking about, like, the people. Like, the Italian people. Like, they're fucking rats.
Ant Prisco
I meant actual animal rats, dude.
Frank Alvarez
Pull up a picture of the inside of a Greek Orthodox church. There's gold everywhere. I've got. I've been to a Christian church. I've been to a Catholic church. It's like, you know, it's fine.
Ant Prisco
A lot of wood.
Frank Alvarez
A lot of wood.
Ant Prisco
Some stained glass. Stained glass is cool.
Frank Alvarez
Stained glass is really cool. But my guy, you walk in and.
Guest/Producer Ant
You see which one are you feeling? This one. I mean.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, throw it up, babe. Look at that.
Ant Prisco
Wow.
Frank Alvarez
You're standing up there with the Father, Son and the Holy and that same Ds, St. George and St. Demetrius. Greek Orthodox church. Yeah, you know what? That might be the ones that we went to.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I've never. What the is that?
Frank Alvarez
Look at this thing.
Ant Prisco
It's got a whole chandelier.
Frank Alvarez
Yo, the Greeks love their churches.
Guest/Producer Ant
Dude got three chandeliers.
Ant Prisco
I've been in some churches and I'm like, holy shit.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, man. They got it. And you walk in and they're, you know, it's sick. They use. Can I ask you a question?
Ant Prisco
Like, when you. So If I'm near St. Patrick's Cathedral around Christmas, like, it's usually around Christmas time, I'll go in and they have, like, a nativity set and whatever. But in any regard, I guess that doesn't matter why I'm bringing that up. When you get close to a statue, or not super close, but you see a statue, right? Does a part of you ever just stare at the statue and go, move? Yes. And just go. I know you could fucking move.
Frank Alvarez
I forgot what movie it was, but I remember staring at a statue and I got it from the movie, and I was just like, I wonder if they're just going to start crying blood, you know, just like, wonder if this. Wonder if this, like, you know, Mary statue of Mary.
Ant Prisco
Part of me feels like if I stare at a statue long enough, like, it will give me a sign.
Frank Alvarez
Well, there's. What's the name of the character? I think they're called, like, the Weeping Angels or something like that from Doctor who. And their statues, they're like stone statues, but they only move if you, like, blink or look away. So, like, that's what I do. I'll just be like, this is like.
Ant Prisco
Fucking Five Nights at Freddy's now.
Guest/Producer Ant
Sort of.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, definitely. You're gonna upset people comparing Doctor who to Five Nights at Freddy's.
Guest/Producer Ant
No, that's not what I'm saying. He's. Trey, she's getting it.
Ant Prisco
I'm like, if you look away, then they move. I mean.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I think they move when you look at them in Five Nights at Freddy's, too.
Ant Prisco
When they get close enough and kill you.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I do that. And when is specifically in St. Patrick's Cathedral, that's like. I've been in churches, and I. You know, I'm like, For some reason, St Patrick's Cathedral is the most uncomfortable I've ever been, because I know that, like, 20ft below me, there's a Pope just lying there dead.
Ant Prisco
Not a Pope.
Frank Alvarez
Pope. The popus.
Ant Prisco
There's. There's a ton of Pope.
Frank Alvarez
How do. What is multiple Pope Is it Popes or is it Popeye? I think it's pipes, pipes.
Ant Prisco
Pipes. There was just pipes.
Frank Alvarez
The floor is just fucking covered in pipes. Covered in pipes.
Ant Prisco
And if you walk to the back of the church. So if you ever. If anyone is visiting New York or you're from New York and you haven't been to St. Patrick's Cathedral, you walk in, you go to the left, and then the Nativity set is, like, right on your left, and you go, wow. Oh, it looks. And then you walk past it, and you get into the back behind the stage altar, and there's. There's a bunch of, like, tombs.
Frank Alvarez
They're like, yo, down below, catacombs.
Ant Prisco
Bunch of pipes.
Frank Alvarez
Yo, the pipes are laid out. And, like, they'll tell you, too. They'll be like, yo, there's. There's St. John Paul, there's Ringo. Yeah, like. Like, they name. They'll tell you all the pipes that are down there.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, they're like, this one's Federico or, like, some Italian name.
Frank Alvarez
Let me be very John Paul.
Ant Prisco
John Paul 2, John Paul 4.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, there's. There's like, 15 John Paul every season of John Paul. It is very, like, jokes aside, it's breathtaking. It is St. Patrick's at the. It's. The architecture is like, the fact that you could see that, like, those were made by human hands.
Ant Prisco
It's.
Frank Alvarez
It's crazy.
Ant Prisco
Crazy. When I went to France and I went to Notre Dame, I was like, bro, this is insane that people built.
Frank Alvarez
Bro. Even when we were in Ireland, there was, like, two or three churches that I forgot who I was with. But we walked into. Yeah. And I was just like, yo, this is like, a thing that people made by hand. Bananas.
Ant Prisco
It's crazy.
Frank Alvarez
Absolutely.
Ant Prisco
I remember thinking when I was. When I was in France of being like, is there French pipes down here? I mean, below the surface, we got some bones.
Frank Alvarez
Have there been any France, French, France.
Ant Prisco
Any fucking French toast?
Frank Alvarez
Have there been any French popes? I feel like they've all been Italian.
Ant Prisco
Oh, yeah. Oh, well, I guess priests from the.
Frank Alvarez
South side of Chicago. Yo, this guy's on to something crazy. I'm just telling you. He set a new standard with popes that are also like, baseball fans and also, like, eat hot dogs. Is this possibly the first Pope that we've had that's ever had a hot dog?
Ant Prisco
Nah.
Frank Alvarez
Can you get a hot dog in Italy? I'm sure it'll be like, this is an American restaurant.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. What do you think the Pope does for, like, fun? Or is it always Just the books. Like, is it always just the book? Or can you just go chill?
Frank Alvarez
Stays prayed up.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, but, like, that's it. Like, you wake up and pray and, like, bro, you ever, like, take a pottery class or some shit?
Frank Alvarez
Um, you know, that's a great question. I am not super up to date with the daily activities of the pipes, dude.
Ant Prisco
Or, like, do they go to restaurants? Like, imagine you're sitting at a steakhouse and all sudden the fucking Pope walks in.
Frank Alvarez
Is like, I imagine. I imagine they wouldn't. I mean, if. If we're being honest from a security standpoint, probably a bad idea to do that.
Ant Prisco
I mean, just hire security.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I think it's still, like, there's still a level of.
Ant Prisco
I would love to see the Pope pop out.
Frank Alvarez
And, like, what you go to, like, for Charles, and, like, you. They'll be like, oh, Aaron Boone is here. Oh, you know, like, Steve Cohen. And right in the back room, the Pope is crushing a ribeye.
Ant Prisco
Dude, that'd be so fire. The idea of, like, a Pope eating steak is funny.
Guest/Producer Ant
It is.
Frank Alvarez
It is funny because they need to go about ordering it, like, how would you take that rare?
Ant Prisco
You know? Yeah, like what? And then, like, just the idea of them.
Frank Alvarez
I don't know.
Ant Prisco
This is probably just me, but the idea of them eating food that isn't the little hosts is funny to me.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
The idea French fries is like the.
Frank Alvarez
Idea of the Pope having a hot dog. It is inherently hysterical.
Ant Prisco
You think a Pope is just sitting back and drinking a Bud Light?
Frank Alvarez
I'm just saying, like, I think now more so than ever, we're finding the opportunity is like, coming that. The Pope is like, watching a baseball game with a Bud Light and a hot dog, and he's just like, jesus, we need to run here, you know, kicking his feet up.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, like this.
Frank Alvarez
There's, like.
Ant Prisco
You know, the Pope, at one point in his life, like, Scott Posednik got thrown out at home, and he went, are you kidding me?
Frank Alvarez
At his tv, you know what I'm saying?
Ant Prisco
And now he's the Pope, and then when he dies, he'll be with the pipes.
Frank Alvarez
He's like, thank God for Jermaine die. You know? Yeah, that's got. I mean, hey, man, they. They haven't really been that successful since then. So, I mean, we can't say it's not because of the Pope.
Ant Prisco
He must have loved Angels in the Outfield.
Frank Alvarez
Like, I mean, he must have been a co writer. They must have been like, you know how movies will, like, contact people in the industry? As, like, a. How authentic is this? Or something like that. Executive producer Danny Glover's talking to the Pope and just like, what do you think I should do for this movie?
Ant Prisco
How do we.
Frank Alvarez
Honestly, you're pretty on point with the way it's going so far. Damn. I think. Can we find any pictures of the Pope having, like, pizza or a cheeseburger?
Guest/Producer Ant
I found one.
Ant Prisco
Look up. Pope's eating shit.
Guest/Producer Ant
I found one.
Frank Alvarez
Don't. Don't look bad. Don't say shit.
Guest/Producer Ant
I saw one the day the Pope drank beer.
Frank Alvarez
No, dude, if. If you're about to pull up a picture of the Pope with a pint, I might convert.
Ant Prisco
What is the day like? It's.
Guest/Producer Ant
That's what they called it.
Frank Alvarez
Get the hell out. Oh, but wait a sec. That was. That was. Careful, careful, careful. That was the Nazi. Careful. He was tied to Nazism.
Guest/Producer Ant
Who?
Ant Prisco
All right.
Frank Alvarez
That.
Ant Prisco
He's just having a beer.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Yo, you're gonna let a guy that old hold that big beer, dude, his arms gonna fall off.
Frank Alvarez
Well, he's got the power of the spirit with him.
Ant Prisco
That is true. Yeah. I mean, it's not like the force.
Frank Alvarez
We don't know.
Guest/Producer Ant
This picture I saw.
Ant Prisco
Damn, that's crazy.
Frank Alvarez
Unless I'm mistaken, that's Benedict. Pope Benedict. He was one of the. He. I think he resigned because, like, they were like, yo, you're cool with the Nazis or something.
Ant Prisco
Frank, I'm not saying that all the Popes have not done anything wrong, but to.
Frank Alvarez
To.
Ant Prisco
To say, tied to the Nazis and then to add or something, you should.
Frank Alvarez
Be sure about what you're saying. I'm a little fuzzy on details.
Ant Prisco
But wait, go to that picture of those two popes eating up to the left.
Guest/Producer Ant
Up to the left.
Ant Prisco
Right there, to the left, left. What are they eating over there?
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I think that's Pope Leo.
Ant Prisco
Oh, that's Leo.
Frank Alvarez
That's Le. Oh, Leo. Oh, that's our current guy.
Ant Prisco
First of all, he's got to be careful with the sleeves on the table there. It's a big white sleeve. We got some ketchup around. You got to be careful, Pope.
Guest/Producer Ant
It looks like a beer.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
I mean, it's just funny to imagine they're just people.
Guest/Producer Ant
Driver, what is this?
Frank Alvarez
Imagine the Popes be like, let me get a vodka tonic, two limes, please.
Ant Prisco
Bro, this is what I'm saying. Like, the Popes pull up to restaurants, and they're like, yo, hit us with the bottomless. It's kind of fire, yo.
Frank Alvarez
If there was ever, like, the Pope at, like, a bottomless brunch. I think I would lose my mind.
Ant Prisco
All right, that's.
Guest/Producer Ant
This made me laugh.
Ant Prisco
I will say, and I don't want to. I honestly don't want to offend people. I hope people don't think that we're being offensive. One thing I also wanted to point out is that. Do you remember when I brought up JJ Hairston, the gospel singer, and I was like, yo, this fire gospel.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, yeah, bro.
Ant Prisco
He posted a clip from the podcast and followed me. And I love.
Frank Alvarez
That's awesome. I know.
Ant Prisco
And, like.
Frank Alvarez
He'S got to tune in.
Ant Prisco
And it's like, if he's hearing this now, it's like, am I saying something?
Frank Alvarez
Well, listen, see if you can hit up JJ Harrison.
Ant Prisco
Just have him come in and just belt one out.
Frank Alvarez
I'm not even saying that, but, like, get you, you know, on the track. You know, one. You know, back in your days on the track with J.J. why not back? I'm saying you don't need to sing, but, like, you can have, like a. A brief intermission. Like, your days is like, you know, back in the day, I was confirmed by the God back in the. You know.
Ant Prisco
Oh, I'm gonna drop a. I think.
Frank Alvarez
You could Write a quick 16.
Ant Prisco
16?
Frank Alvarez
You could write a quick 16 about your days in the church.
Ant Prisco
My days in the church? Yeah, man. I've been confirmed.
Frank Alvarez
Were you confirmed?
Guest/Producer Ant
I was.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. You confirmed.
Ant Prisco
There we go.
Guest/Producer Ant
Oh, thank you. Yeah.
Ant Prisco
It's a confirmed 10 ounce drinking, brother.
Frank Alvarez
You just got a red solo cup.
Guest/Producer Ant
Amen, brother. It's a Diet Coke.
Ant Prisco
What time is it, kid?
Frank Alvarez
If. If your answer's already.
Ant Prisco
Yes, but go ahead.
Frank Alvarez
No, that's not the question I was gonna ask. If you were a Pope.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
And you were to go out, what would be your drink of choice? I know it's red wine. Give me something else. What feels like a holy. A holy spirit.
Ant Prisco
That's a good joke.
Guest/Producer Ant
That's really.
Ant Prisco
That's actually a good joke.
Frank Alvarez
That's incredible.
Ant Prisco
I don't know.
Frank Alvarez
Gin. I was gonna say gin because of the floral botanicals and everything. What does that have to do with anything? It just feels more connected to nature.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, well, the wine that they had in church was white wine, actually. In my church. What?
Frank Alvarez
Huh?
Ant Prisco
Yeah. Scooby Doo, welcome to the show.
Guest/Producer Ant
Could be making this up. Isn't it white wine until a specific day, and then it's red wine because that's when Jesus.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, you're asking me?
Guest/Producer Ant
No, no.
Ant Prisco
Oh, like, they.
Frank Alvarez
Like.
Guest/Producer Ant
Like, that's when he turned it to.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, like when he, like, was just like, yo, now it's my blood.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Oh, well, no, no, no.
Guest/Producer Ant
Made that up.
Ant Prisco
Well, no. And not in my church growing up.
Frank Alvarez
It was always white. So you're. You guys were just like, throwing rose in the cup and like, that be.
Ant Prisco
Like, yeah, no, that would be fire. I mean, no, it was like a shard.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, but I guess. Why.
Ant Prisco
Why is it white?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Maybe it was just preference.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, but that doesn't make sense. It's. The blood of Christ is like.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, but it's not. It's not like double. It's like a metaphor.
Frank Alvarez
I know, but if you're going to present the blood of Christ, it should. It should look most closely resembling blood.
Ant Prisco
Maybe our priest just fucked with the white. That could be taken out of context. We're going straight to the ads for that. Our first ad that we have today comes from. How you doing? Rocket Money. Okay. Rocket Money is an all in one personal finance app that is going to put money back in your pocket by helping you find and cancel unwanted subscriptions that you may have signed up for in the past. Okay. People do this all the time, where they sign up for a free trial, or they're paying for something that they haven't used in months. And then when they sign up for Rocket Money and they can see everything and all their expenses, they realize, I should probably put that money back in my pocket every month. So at the end of the year, it adds up. And if you do that a couple times with a couple things, it really does add up. It could be hundreds of dollars that you're saving yourself or even a thousand dollars or even more than that, depending on how, I guess, irresponsible you are. They also have other features that there's a budgeting tool so that you can be more financially responsible every single month and set a budget for yourself. So, you know, if you're getting serious about saving money, that's a good way to do it. And they also have a feature that will help you negotiate your bill. So you take a pic, you literally take a picture of your bill, you upload it, and if they can negotiate the bill for you, they will help you do that. And there's a bunch of premium features as well that everyone can sign up for, and you can save a bunch of money like that. They have saved users over 2, 2.5 billion, including over 880 million in canceled subscriptions alone. Okay. So you can cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money. Go to rocket money.com basement today okay, that is rocketmoney.com basement today to get that. But yeah, you might as well put that money back in your pocket. Especially now around the the holidays, get a little extra money to spend, splurge, who knows, have fun. And we also have prize picks. Okay, prize picks is very fun, but it now has early payouts as well. If your lineup gets off to a hot start, you may have the option to cash out those winnings before the game even finishes. So prize picks, let me explain first, for those who don't know, but it's simple to play. You're just picking more or less than the prize picks projection. So if you're a fan of the NFL then on Sundays you can say, okay, Patrick Mahomes, he's going to have more or less than 205 yards. I'd probably go more or actually less.
Frank Alvarez
Who knows.
Ant Prisco
The Chiefs are not doing too well at the moment. But you do more or less and you pick at least two things. But you can stack more than that and then you can win money doing that. And it's very easy to understand. It's not super complicated. You're not competing against anyone except the projection. So make it very easy to understand. And like I said, they have early payouts. So if you get off to a hot start, they give you the option to cash out those winnings before the game even finishes. So there you go. And you can download the price picks app today and use the code basement to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup. Okay, so that is code basement to get $50 in lineups AFTER you play your first $5 lineup. Prize picks. It's good to be right?

Ant Prisco
You got a new ring.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, Becca got that for me.
Ant Prisco
Let me see. He held it up like the Green Lantern. You're big on rings.
Frank Alvarez
I'm feeling rings, honestly.
Ant Prisco
You showed up with a double pink the other day.
Frank Alvarez
I was like, bro, double pinked out.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, you were pinked.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, two pink. First of all, don't say that.
Ant Prisco
I don't like.
Frank Alvarez
You were pinked. Yeah, I don't like that. I think that that sounds a little intense.
Ant Prisco
It does sound like porn.
Frank Alvarez
Listen. I mean, I think I saw. I've said this before. My. My entry into rings was seeing someone with pinky rings and rings eating a sandwich. And I go, that looks awesome. The sandwich. And they're eating it with rings. Because now when I eat sandwiches, I'm rock and roll for sandwich.
Ant Prisco
Why do you eat like that?
Frank Alvarez
I mean, how do you eat a sandwich?
Ant Prisco
I don't even.
Frank Alvarez
All right, you got. I'm gonna give you two types of sandwiches. Flat white bread sandwich.
Ant Prisco
Flat white bread sandwich.
Frank Alvarez
Don't sit here. Don't sit here and say, like, give me, like, a one with wheat.
Ant Prisco
I can't even remember the last time I had white bread. Isn't that crazy?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Okay, so, like. But, like, they make, like, sliced Italian bread or something like that.
Ant Prisco
But, like, I just hold it.
Frank Alvarez
You know what I'm like, it looks like this. You know, it's got. It's got. It's got hips.
Ant Prisco
I'm gonna save you time. I just hold it.
Frank Alvarez
Okay, now a sub.
Ant Prisco
Really? I mean, how.
Frank Alvarez
This. Same method.
Ant Prisco
Like this?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Guest/Producer Ant
Why doesn't everything fall out of the butt?
Frank Alvarez
No, baby.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, you gotta, like, close that fucking ass.
Frank Alvarez
First of all, I keep my butt pinched.
Ant Prisco
I mean, it's clearly not. Clearly, not on my sandwiches.
Frank Alvarez
On my sandwiches.
Ant Prisco
Your butthole's wide open and ready for dinner.
Frank Alvarez
Would you rather me eat it like this?
Ant Prisco
No. I mean, dude, that's crazy. Yeah, I fucking did that how big is the sandwich? And you.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I've eaten some big sandwiches, but, like, the reason. I'll be honest with you, the reason I do that is because I have wet sandwiches. And if I do eat them like this. This area right here gets wet with, like, oil and vinegar and stuff like that. So if I open it up, you.
Ant Prisco
Eat with, like, antennas.
Frank Alvarez
Damn right I do. I want the world to know this incredible sandwich I'm eating. I don't eat bad sandwiches. Let's make that very clear. I'm not saying that I want to make sure you know and, you know.
Ant Prisco
Concerns, but you're like, you're. Do you have like a. Like a thing with your hand? Like your fingers and hands?
Frank Alvarez
I have openly spoken about. I hate my dainty fingers.
Ant Prisco
No, no, I meant like a.
Frank Alvarez
If I can dress them up with rings.
Ant Prisco
Oh.
Frank Alvarez
I am a very tactile person. Absolutely.
Ant Prisco
Which is. But. But I feel like you're. I don't know, there's something with your fingers.
Frank Alvarez
You're throwing up gang signs now. You gotta be crazy. You gotta be careful. But you're.
Ant Prisco
You're. You're like this, you know? Yeah. And then also we've talked about how you point is kind of like Voldemort, where you're like. You do that.
Frank Alvarez
Well, I think a lot of it is my dainty fingers. So, like, what I can do to combat the daintiness is add some weight rings, you know?
Ant Prisco
But they're dainty because of use. It's not because they're dainty. Like, use what? Like the way that you use them.
Frank Alvarez
I think the way. But like, the. Like, I can't point like this anymore if I got a ring on. Now I. Now it's like this.
Ant Prisco
Okay. So you need. You need.
Frank Alvarez
You know, and when I have my pinky rings on, if you notice, I do things more like this.
Ant Prisco
Do you?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Oh, God. It's because it's sick. It's because it's sick.
Ant Prisco
Do you put your finger.
Frank Alvarez
Try this on. Try the ring on.
Ant Prisco
Do you put your finger. You put your fingers up?
Guest/Producer Ant
I don't think so.
Frank Alvarez
I'm gonna toss it.
Guest/Producer Ant
That one.
Frank Alvarez
Maybe. He goes, I don't think so. I'm gonna toss it.
Ant Prisco
Yep, got it.
Frank Alvarez
We've established that you have small fingies.
Ant Prisco
Whoa, dude.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, well, 19 pound fingers. Whoa.
Guest/Producer Ant
That's on your pinky.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, that's on my bro.
Ant Prisco
This fits easily on my thumb. That's crazy.
Frank Alvarez
Small fingies.
Ant Prisco
This feels holy. It feels like Priesty.
Frank Alvarez
It might be Priesty. I Love it. I love so much you pipe. I'm not piping.
Ant Prisco
It fits on every finger. Well, nope. It only fits on this finger. Oh, like, my thumb fits.
Frank Alvarez
It can fit on all your fingers.
Ant Prisco
Oh, yeah.
Frank Alvarez
But, like, I could probably fit this.
Ant Prisco
Around my leg.
Frank Alvarez
Now. Now. Talk about my dainty fingers. Come on, dude.
Ant Prisco
You're not very dainty. I guess it's like, bro, this is. Bro, this is a thick.
Frank Alvarez
What's up?
Ant Prisco
You got thick fingers.
Frank Alvarez
Hell, yeah.
Ant Prisco
How'd you put the accent? Hell, yeah. Ready?
Frank Alvarez
Oh, hit your other right. You like that, right?
Ant Prisco
You're ranged.
Frank Alvarez
I do feel like. I just. I like powerful. I feel powerful when I'm wearing it. I really, really do. And feels good.
Ant Prisco
Are you gonna get into rings?
Guest/Producer Ant
No.
Ant Prisco
Oh, you wear a ring?
Guest/Producer Ant
I have an aura ring.
Frank Alvarez
I thought about getting one of those just for general health helping.
Ant Prisco
Health helping. And you would wear it. Which one?
Frank Alvarez
I probably wear it here. I have no ring right now. For my. My index, I have rings for these two right here.
Guest/Producer Ant
Right.
Ant Prisco
Thanks for showing us. You could have just told us. We know we have little fingers, but. Okay, so no rings for you.
Frank Alvarez
Maybe you're not a ring guy.
Ant Prisco
I've experimented.
Frank Alvarez
I got your ring.
Ant Prisco
You did get me a ring.
Frank Alvarez
I got your ring. A pinky ring.
Ant Prisco
A pinky ring.
Frank Alvarez
Throw that on there. You know, it was crazy. I asked about your size, and I was told that your ring was, like, the size basically, of a child's finger.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I don't have huge, like, they're not, like, big fingers. I think my hands are normal, but my fingers.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, my God. You have such big hands.
Ant Prisco
No, my hands aren't like big hands, but they're not like hands.
Frank Alvarez
Remember when, like, hands had to do with dicks back in the day?
Ant Prisco
Do I. I still think that. Yeah. Where it's like, you ever have someone, like, when you're growing up and a girl's like, let me see your hand, Then I'm like, oh, God.
Frank Alvarez
That was. I learned from Becca that that was, like, a thing that girls did to flirt the hands. Yeah.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I assumed anytime that I was touching skin with a girl, I was like, oh, my God, we're having sex.
Frank Alvarez
It was the closest thing at the time.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, it was. You know, sometimes it was better because you didn't have anything to compare it to.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, when you had no clue.
Ant Prisco
When I had no sex.
Frank Alvarez
When you hadn't drank from the. You know, from the.
Ant Prisco
The.
Frank Alvarez
The. The.
Ant Prisco
When I haven't had sex yet. That's what I was gonna say.
Guest/Producer Ant
We were having a conversation freshman year of high school once and it just the topic of what, like something like that. Like what gesture like equals the size of a penis or how big do you think it is? And this girl went like this.
Frank Alvarez
What?
Guest/Producer Ant
Aren't they normally here to here?
Ant Prisco
She thought elbow to wrist.
Guest/Producer Ant
She thought elbow to wrist was like. That's how you judge the size of a man.
Ant Prisco
I don't think that's all of our dicks together.
Frank Alvarez
Well, you know, forget about the hammer.
Guest/Producer Ant
We all looked at each other like.
Frank Alvarez
I, I mean, I don't even know how. I mean, I. I don't know what this per. I'm not going to speak about this person's sexual history.
Guest/Producer Ant
Well, they didn't know like, they didn't know like. Yeah, like it was freshman year. Like it was just an assumption. Like that's what they thought.
Frank Alvarez
But where do you even get that assumption from?
Ant Prisco
I. I think there's a confusion. I mean I thought it was like it was from.
Frank Alvarez
It was like the tip. Yeah. It was like at one point they said it was like when you hold your hand normal, it's like pinky the thumb. Yeah. You know, or, or you know, I don't know.
Ant Prisco
I don't know.
Frank Alvarez
I remember. I remember being like middle school and someone said that and I'd be like.
Ant Prisco
Really go home and like stretch my hand. Really. You know, I've never like, you know.
Frank Alvarez
It was such like those. They were all. Though I mean foot size was another one that was like, you know, that was. That was a big one. Yeah, but there were all these little like cool, not cool.
Ant Prisco
I wouldn't call them cool.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, I wouldn't. I recon everything was about like figuring.
Ant Prisco
Out what your penis size was via weird ways. Can you.
Frank Alvarez
Do you know of any other ones.
Guest/Producer Ant
I didn't keep tabs here to here.
Ant Prisco
Is such a crazy thing to even think I'll go on record. That girl's an idiot.
Guest/Producer Ant
That's fine.
Frank Alvarez
Imagine how old were you freshman year, high school? 14. 14 years old, bro.
Ant Prisco
What are we doing?
Frank Alvarez
I mean. Yeah, I don't think, you know, we were.
Guest/Producer Ant
We were appalled a little.
Ant Prisco
That was Catholic school also. This is ridiculous.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, I. I don't want to speak more about this because self conscious.
Guest/Producer Ant
Also from that one.
Ant Prisco
See. And when I was in sixth or seventh grade, I remember a girl being like, you're a virgin and like laughing at me and I was like, oh my God, like, am I a.
Frank Alvarez
You had to go out there.
Ant Prisco
Am I a loser?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. You had to figure it Out.
Ant Prisco
And then looking back, I was like, like the. You people in sixth grade.
Frank Alvarez
There were people that I knew that were actively having sex in sixth grade.
Ant Prisco
Me too.
Frank Alvarez
Which is like in the Stairway. So disgusting.
Ant Prisco
Which is disgusting is such an intense.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I didn't think you were gonna say that.
Ant Prisco
I thought you're gonna say like, crazy.
Frank Alvarez
I mean. Yes, crazy too. But like, I knew like, just like looking back in like hindsight and just being like, oh my God.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Like what the fuck was happening?
Ant Prisco
People were having sex in, in the Stairway in my middle school.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, dude. It was a thing in our middle school that was like, people would hook up at like the back staircase.
Ant Prisco
I like made out with my girlfriend at the time once.
Guest/Producer Ant
Hell yeah.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, she made out very.
Frank Alvarez
Hell yeah.
Ant Prisco
I remember back then also, I was still so afraid of being good at making out. And then me and her made out and she, she like, she was just in fast forward. It felt like I was like, it should felt. And I was like, damn, have I been doing this thing wrong the whole time?
Frank Alvarez
What is that?
Ant Prisco
But like, you know, you're making out with someone and your mouth opens. Yeah, but. And hers was just opening and closing very quickly at a speed that I wasn't prepared for. So I was kind of like a step behind. So I was like, I probably fucked that up. Oh yeah.
Frank Alvarez
I remember when, when I was in middle school. Because that was like the stressor back then. It was just like, make it. Are you a good kisser?
Ant Prisco
Yeah. You know, and if I'm not, everyone's going to.
Frank Alvarez
Everyone's going to know it. No one's going to kiss you because of it.
Ant Prisco
Right. Ever again.
Frank Alvarez
Ever.
Ant Prisco
I will die alone after this.
Frank Alvarez
If you're a bad kisser at that age, it's going to follow you until you're like a member of the workforce.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
You know, on your resume it'll be like, wow, graduated magna cum laude and oh boy. Heard you were a bad kisser.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, you're a fucking dweeb.
Frank Alvarez
But I remember I had like a seventh grade girlfriend and there was like pressure. It was also like, you got a girlfriend and then you had to like kiss and then you had to like kiss in front of your boys and your like their friends. And I remember I went for like a kiss once and I went for a tap kiss.
Ant Prisco
Oh, no.
Frank Alvarez
She went for a makeout kiss.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
And. Or, or vice versa, whatever it was. I went for makeout, she went for tap. And it was just like a.
Ant Prisco
It was a consuming.
Frank Alvarez
It was an all consuming and it was like, you never come back.
Ant Prisco
It looked like a cobra eating a mice. A mouse is what I wanted to say.
Frank Alvarez
It was just like. Yeah, it was like, exactly that. It was like, yeah, you know, the way that, like, anacondas consume.
Ant Prisco
Bro, do you remember when you were younger and, like, same thing, like, you had a girlfriend and then it was such a big deal, and everyone knew that, like, oh, they're gonna kiss. And like, no one kissed back then, so it was a big deal if there was a couple. And it's like, oh, my God. It was almost like a fight. It was like, yo, they're gonna meet up after school and they're gonna kiss each other. And I feel like you would kiss and everyone would go, oh, well, I.
Frank Alvarez
I remember at the time, like, kissing my, like, going, like, down the block, kissing my. Then girlfriend and walking back and everyone's at the corner, like, did it happen? Did it happen? Like. Like celebrating it? And it was just like, you know, it's like, yeah, so what? You know, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now. Like, that's what they. That's what boyfriend girlfriends do.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. You guys will learn one day.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Just an insane time to live in.
Ant Prisco
Such a funny time to look back on.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. And it's even weirder now that I have children.
Ant Prisco
Oh, well, yeah, they're gonna have to go through that.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. And it's, like, weird.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
You know, Very, very weird.
Ant Prisco
Kissing is so strange. Isn't it weird that we kiss each other on the lips, in the mouth?
Frank Alvarez
I get, like, other places.
Ant Prisco
Dude, you're freaking.
Frank Alvarez
What are you doing?
Ant Prisco
Once it gets close to the holidays.
Frank Alvarez
I feel like you're just like, what's in that cup? You sure it's just Diet Coke or is it Diet Coke and a horny goat weed?
Guest/Producer Ant
I thought you were going there. I just tried to jump in front.
Ant Prisco
Of it, but no, I was going very normal. Like, kissing on, like, just from a. Just think about kissing on the lips. Like, does any other animal do that? They kiss each other on the mouth.
Frank Alvarez
That's a great question.
Ant Prisco
Like, why are you kissing each other on the mouth?
Frank Alvarez
I don't know. That's a really, really good question. To show, like, affection. Because that's what we do. It. It's to show affection.
Ant Prisco
And I like it. I like kissing on the mouth.
Frank Alvarez
But, like, how I. Do you think more people kiss on the lips or on the cheek?
Ant Prisco
Cheek.
Frank Alvarez
What do you mean, you think? Cheek? Of course. When's the last time you kiss someone on the cheek? All the time when's the last time you kiss someone on the lips?
Ant Prisco
All the time, too, but less people.
Frank Alvarez
I'm not saying there's one. I'm not saying.
Ant Prisco
But I'm saying in my lifetime, how many people you kissed on the lips and cheek are, like, it's astronomically.
Frank Alvarez
I'm not saying, like, the quantity of people. I'm saying the amount of individual kisses.
Ant Prisco
Oh, it's like wheels or doors.
Frank Alvarez
Wheels or doors. Are there more mouth kisses or are there more cheek kisses?
Ant Prisco
Because in an average lifetime.
Frank Alvarez
In an average lifetime.
Ant Prisco
Oh, definitely lip. That's definitely.
Frank Alvarez
But that's a. That's a. I don't know.
Guest/Producer Ant
No, but what about. What about, like, newborns? You kiss them on the cheeks. We're talking about quantity of kisses. Right.
Frank Alvarez
It could also be cheeks slash foreheads, because that's a big one, too.
Guest/Producer Ant
We're talking about quantity of kisses.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. The number of times you either kiss a lip or kiss a cheek, lip.
Frank Alvarez
Or elsewhere on the head. Because people do, like, top of the head, forehead, cheeks.
Ant Prisco
I think it's lip. In the span of a lifetime, I think a person kisses someone on the lips more than they kiss any other.
Frank Alvarez
The average person, though.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. Because, like, if you are in a relationship, that's a lot of lips.
Frank Alvarez
Sure. That's a lot of lift. But you think about all the cheat kisses you had before that relationship.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, I just.
Frank Alvarez
And then, like, within that relationship ground, though, within that relationship, there are cheat kisses, too.
Ant Prisco
That's true.
Guest/Producer Ant
Oh, man.
Ant Prisco
That's what I'm saying. Like in a lifetime, though, like, if you get to live 75, 80 years, it's a lot of lip.
Frank Alvarez
It's also a lot of cheek. Because then you have kids, you kiss them on the cheek. You have grandkids.
Ant Prisco
Not if you're Tom Brady.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, we'll take Tom Brady out of his lip. He's an outlier.
Ant Prisco
He's a lip.
Frank Alvarez
He's a.
Ant Prisco
He's.
Frank Alvarez
Everyone he knows has kissed him on the lip.
Ant Prisco
You think it's cheek?
Guest/Producer Ant
I don't know. It probably lips, but Tom Brady's definitely on the lip side.
Ant Prisco
He's.
Guest/Producer Ant
You can't.
Frank Alvarez
He's on the lip. I mean, he's probably never kissed someone on the cheek.
Ant Prisco
He's the goat of lip kissing.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, he's the goat of a couple things.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
You know, I'm gonna go lip, though.
Frank Alvarez
I. I'm more.
Ant Prisco
Think about this. When you're in a young relationship, how many times you kiss? Because when you're younger and you have a girlfriend, it's like, we're just gonna kiss 24 7.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. But when you're. Let's say. All right, let's say you're 15 and you have a partner.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
You're going to kiss. But the ability to Sometimes to kiss is not always readily available. But how many times do you see your family? There are friends that people kiss their friends on the cheek, you know, and this. And I'm not just talking on the cheek. I'm talking.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
You kiss your mom on the cheek.
Frank Alvarez
Of course.
Ant Prisco
Like, when you see your mom.
Frank Alvarez
Absolutely. Yeah.
Ant Prisco
I don't know if I do that.
Guest/Producer Ant
My brothers.
Ant Prisco
I kiss my mom goodbye, but I'm more into hugging.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, it's a. It's a. It works in tandem, brother. It's a not always double.
Guest/Producer Ant
Double.
Ant Prisco
You know what it is?
Frank Alvarez
My mom's like, oh, you double it up. You're a very Italian family.
Guest/Producer Ant
You're double arm kiss.
Ant Prisco
Oh, Italy. Those are cheek people. They're kissing.
Frank Alvarez
I'm not. I'm saying the average person, whether they're Italian.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Or they're anything else.
Ant Prisco
I don't know if we're throwing the Italians in there. That. That really bumps up the cheek because they love the mah. Mah. That's two. And they do it everywhere. Yeah, that's tough. I didn't know we were including Italians.
Frank Alvarez
I think this is a very good argument. Very good argument.
Ant Prisco
This is a good debate. I like it a lot.
Frank Alvarez
Now, if you're horny, like ant.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Are they kissing above the chin or below the chin more?
Ant Prisco
Let's not get.
Frank Alvarez
Let's get this guy.
Ant Prisco
There's guys over there. There's a lonely male epidemic. Frank, no one's kissing the belt anymore.
Guest/Producer Ant
It actually says here that chimpanzees, bonobos, wolves, polar bears, albatrosses. I didn't know that was plural. And even insects kiss on the lips.
Frank Alvarez
That's so cute.
Ant Prisco
You're telling me that praying mantis smooch.
Guest/Producer Ant
I don't know which ones, but, dude.
Frank Alvarez
If I saw a praying mantis go up to its partner and just be like, I would be so pumped.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, that'd be crazy.
Ant Prisco
Wait, which other. Also wolves. I've never seen a wolf kiss.
Frank Alvarez
And they don't. They don't have, like, lips. They have mouth. So what are they doing? They're just going up there, just like.
Ant Prisco
They gotta, like, side kiss, I imagine. Or like, they smush noses. That's cute.
Frank Alvarez
Smush noses. And they give one of these, you.
Guest/Producer Ant
Know, like, beak touching.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, we're One of the few animals on the planet that have, like, usable lips.
Guest/Producer Ant
Dude, if a parrot landed on me and went, that's. I'm counting. I'm counting.
Frank Alvarez
That's what they would do. They'd go.
Ant Prisco
What you ever think about if you had a parrot, what would it say? Like, what do you say a lot of that?
Frank Alvarez
It would say, I basically have one with my daughter Maeve, and we have seen some of the stuff that she.
Ant Prisco
Has said, apparently, is what you're saying.
Frank Alvarez
You are my fucking daddy.
Ant Prisco
That's great.
Frank Alvarez
I'm like, I'm trying to tone it back now because it's getting bad.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, yeah. I'm still going, lip, I think, dude.
Frank Alvarez
Ruby, the other day, like, she. She goes, daddy, you are dramatic. And Becca started dying laughing. I was like, where'd you get that dramatic? But I think.
Ant Prisco
What do you think you're gonna be?
Frank Alvarez
I would. That's so tough because I kiss Becca a lot.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
And a lot of it is on the lips.
Ant Prisco
Are we the way you said that? But it was like you were talking to your boys when you're, like, 12. Like, I kiss her a lot, and a lot of it is on the list.
Frank Alvarez
But, like, like, oh, I've been like, before Becca. Like, I'm a very effect. I come from a very affectionate family. I am a very affectionate person. Like, most of my friends that I see get a kiss on the cheek, you know?
Ant Prisco
Yeah. I've never seen you kiss the boys.
Frank Alvarez
Well, when you put it like that, I'm not.
Ant Prisco
Hey, look at this. Yeah, but when we see each other, you don't kiss me.
Frank Alvarez
No, but I have.
Ant Prisco
I mean, it doesn't stand out. We dap and, like, hug.
Guest/Producer Ant
He says your kisses aren't memorable. Crazy.
Ant Prisco
That is.
Frank Alvarez
That is bananas. He's trying to kiss bait me. He's trying to be like, your kisses don't even mean much to me. Yeah, they don't even. I don't even feel. I don't remember trying to kiss.
Ant Prisco
Baby.
Frank Alvarez
He's trying to kiss babe, me. You see that? Crazy.
Ant Prisco
I don't even know you're horny over there.
Frank Alvarez
I don't even know if you're a good kisser. You know? That's what he's saying.
Guest/Producer Ant
I can't even remember the last time you kissed me.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Like, people say you're not a great kisser.
Ant Prisco
Do you kiss your mom on the cheek? Hello.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
I don't even know if I do.
Frank Alvarez
I kiss my.
Ant Prisco
My.
Frank Alvarez
You know how my dad is. My dad's still throwing out heavy cheek kisses.
Ant Prisco
Your dad would. His tongue if he. If you let him. All right, let's be.
Frank Alvarez
Let's take it back.
Ant Prisco
I think. I don't. Because my mom is, like, like, very short, so she's, like, here.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, but do you kiss her on the. Like, on the mat? On the head? I almost said mouth on the head. It's fine.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. Sometimes, like, I don't. I don't really. I don't know if I. Like, I definitely don't kiss, like, my brother's hello. Keith would literally. I would end up in a tornado like the Tasmanian Devil.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, you would.
Ant Prisco
I don't think I kiss Shannon hello. Like, we hug. We're huggers.
Frank Alvarez
Okay, that's fine.
Ant Prisco
Why did that sound like a slur?
Frank Alvarez
We're huggers. That dirty.
Ant Prisco
Hugging a hugger, like, instead of a kisser this year sounds way nicer than hugger. Yeah, you're a hugger. It's like, whoa, dude.
Frank Alvarez
I think I. I think there. I'm not saying that I am. Like, it's cheek or. Or mouth for me, but it is a really good argument to have that, like, you also got to think of the average family. Like, not everyone is as affectionate as my family. Not everyone is as affectionate to your family. Like.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
So, like, there are people also, as you were, as you always tell aunt and I, we're in the middle of a male loneliness epidemic. So, like, you think of all those people that have never kissed.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
They're not kissing on anything.
Ant Prisco
You want to hear something weird? I have heard through Vines of the Grape or Great Grape. Grape, that some people who are in long relationships, when they have sex, they don't kiss. That's so weird. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
That doesn't feel.
Ant Prisco
Those got to be cheek people. That's weird. And also, are we counting when you do that thing when you see your aunt and you guys, your cheeks touch.
Frank Alvarez
I just said that. Yeah, I just said that. That's a cheeky kiss. Yeah.
Guest/Producer Ant
You count that?
Ant Prisco
You count that you're not kissing?
Guest/Producer Ant
I mean, that's as close.
Frank Alvarez
The sentiment is as close to kissing on the cheek as I'm. You thought I was just saying, like, you know, on the purses.
Ant Prisco
I mean, if I'm kissing.
Frank Alvarez
No, this is. I'm counting this as a cheek kiss.
Guest/Producer Ant
Cheek to cheek.
Frank Alvarez
Cheek to cheek.
Guest/Producer Ant
You gotta count that.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, I wish I could.
Ant Prisco
Don't you wish you could just dap people up? There's some people that, like. I wish I could just dap up my, like, Aunts and uncles.
Frank Alvarez
I like hugging because I'll never know if I'll hug that person again.
Ant Prisco
It's like, it's nice and sweet, but.
Frank Alvarez
It'S also, I mean, I'm not saying they're gonna die, but, like, I just may never see them again.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. Why?
Frank Alvarez
Like, people go their own route in life and they move away or they have. Like, you just don't get to see people for years or.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I, I just, you know, I'm not big on the, on the. I'm down to do it to a small group once we start. You know, if I'm walking into Christmas day and there's 30 people there, I'm like, here we go.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, I say hi to every single person.
Ant Prisco
Of course I have to, too, but, like, I got a hug and kiss, everyone. This is crazy.
Guest/Producer Ant
Now.
Ant Prisco
I wish I could just be like, yo, to like, my aunt and just dap her up. Really? Yeah. Make it quick.
Frank Alvarez
I, I, I like, I like, I like it. A nice embrace.
Ant Prisco
I'm more of, as much as I like to Irish goodbye. I feel like I'm actually. No, that's not true. I guess it's different with friends. I don't care if we say hi to each other. Really? No, I'm sorry. I care if we say hi to each other. I do not care if you say bye. Like, I, you can leave. I don't. It doesn't matter. But I would like you to acknowledge when we see each other, but just go do your thing. But with family, it's more of like, a high. Oh, no, it's. It's less about a high and more about a buy. You know who has the same reason.
Frank Alvarez
You know who has that same mentality? The Undertaker. I'm dead serious. I saw an interview.
Ant Prisco
Really?
Frank Alvarez
I think it was Bill Simmons and John Cena. No, I think it was Bill Simmons and John Cena or John Cena and someone. I don't remember exactly who it was, but he's like. Was talking about. He was like, the. I never drank alcohol. The first drink I ever had was with the Undertaker.
Ant Prisco
That's a good first.
Frank Alvarez
That's a great first drink.
Ant Prisco
Mine was with a. I was in a. Was a Heineken in a backyard and it sucked.
Frank Alvarez
Mine was like. Are we talking, like, accidental took a sip, you didn't know what it was? Or like, I'm going to have an alcoholic drink.
Ant Prisco
I think, I think you that you're purposeful.
Frank Alvarez
I think it was with my sister. Maybe not. Maybe earlier.
Ant Prisco
Maybe Slammer.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, it is all right. It might have been with you. I don't remember. Nonetheless, he was like the undertaker. Gave me words of advice and it was like, never say goodbye. And he's like, that stuck with me like, like big Irish goodbye guy. Just never say goodbye to someone.
Ant Prisco
Why?
Frank Alvarez
I don't know.
Ant Prisco
I'm trying to find the profoundness in that.
Frank Alvarez
I'm not the undertaker.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, a lot of people say, like, don't say goodbye. Say like, see you later, because goodbye is final.

I'll talk to everyone at a certain point, like if we lock eyes, like, oh, hey, and I'll come over and, you know. But the circuit, I love.
Frank Alvarez
I. I like the circuit when it's. I mean, depending on who it is, if it's close friends and family, I'll do the circuit. But if I'm somewhere where I'm not crazy about some of the people there, I'll sit back a little bit, you know.

Ant Prisco
I know I got to clear my throat.
Frank Alvarez
God damn.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
You know, right? Is that one of the most famous, Like, I feel like that song is up there with, like, Ave Maria as one of the most famous songs ever made. You know what I'm saying? Ave Maria.
Ant Prisco
Well, I just asked. I think I asked you guys this too, but I asked Twitter, and I was like, what do you think is the best song of all time? And for me, bro, I think it's Landslide.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, that's up there. Absolutely. That song, it get. I mean, it's so good. Do you want me to just talk and like a human being here, or you want me to be technical about it? Like, how are we describing what the.
Ant Prisco
Best song is, in your opinion?
Frank Alvarez
Personally, I would go either Bohemian Rhapsody. You know, I'm a little. You know, I'm a bitch for that song Landslides up there. I also love Sympathy for the Devil from the Rolling Stones. Oh, that's a great song. See what other people said, I mean, there's. There. You could make an argument for any song that's like a classic, you know?
Ant Prisco
I, like, listened to Landslide the other day, and I was like, dude, this song is so good.
Frank Alvarez
Dude, the song and specifically the version from Shrek of Hallelujah is such a banger.
Ant Prisco
Someone said Unwritten. That is, like, probably the most recent song that I think is like.
Frank Alvarez
I think. But someone is saying that just because they're. They want to keep in line with the basement yard stuff. Like, we could sit here and say, like, since you've been gone.
Guest/Producer Ant
No, no.
Ant Prisco
I think that the world loves unwritten.
Frank Alvarez
I think the world loves unwritten, too. I don't know if I'd put it in top 10 songs of all time. We also got to take songs that are, like, old ones, you know? Like, I'm sure there's someone that's going to argue like, a C. Jaunty. What is it? Like a C. Shanty? Yeah, Shanty. Shant. C. What are they called again, guys? Help me out.
Guest/Producer Ant
Sea Shanty.
Frank Alvarez
There it is.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
They'll be like, oh, really? The greatest song ever is, you know, There once was a ship that put to sea was a billion a couple.
Ant Prisco
Of said Iris by The Google Dolls. It's a good song, too.
Frank Alvarez
How does that one go again?
Ant Prisco
Oh, you know what song I really like?
Frank Alvarez
Never going to answer me.
Ant Prisco
Okay, wait, what?
Frank Alvarez
I said, how did that song go again? And then he just went and I.
Ant Prisco
Don't want the world. Okay, all right, that's good. You know what song that I, I, I really like? Champagne Supernova by Oasis. That's a great song.
Frank Alvarez
You know which song is so intensely. Slept on Drops of Jupiter by Train.
Ant Prisco
That is such a good answer, too. That sounds phenomenal.
Frank Alvarez
Like, and like the words, because I don't know what they mean, but also, like, just the, it's like a matchy backing, like the way he sings it, like a, you know, like in Jupiter, in.
Ant Prisco
That's a great song. That's a good point. Oh, yo, you know what? Low key, I mean, I don't know how low key it is, but God Bless a Broken Road by the Rascal Flats.
Frank Alvarez
What a great song is that. Life is a Highway.
Ant Prisco
Same band, different song.
Guest/Producer Ant
Okay, what about the, the Gambler?
Frank Alvarez
Oh. Oh, you know, I, I think I know. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up. Hold on, hold on. I got it, I got it, I got it.
Ant Prisco
No one's talking.
Frank Alvarez
You gotta, you gotta know when to hold them.
Ant Prisco
Know when to photo.
Frank Alvarez
Know when to walk away. Know when to run.
Ant Prisco
It's mad good.
Frank Alvarez
You gotta count your money.
Ant Prisco
Hey.
Frank Alvarez
And he's sitting at the table. All right. I mean.
Ant Prisco
Oh, you know what I did when I, when I thought of this and I tweeted that landslide? I was like, you know what? I'm gonna watch this. And I watched the landslide scene from Jack Frost.
Frank Alvarez
Good. Don't do that.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I did.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, but don't do that, though.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin has some absolute bangerangs on there.
Ant Prisco
Someone said, Layla.
Frank Alvarez
Layla. I mean, that's a great song. Layla's a great song, but I kind of like the, like, the, like the piano part. The piano part of it more than I do the actual song.
Ant Prisco
But, like, that's. My dad used to play that.
Guest/Producer Ant
They're saying, imagine John Lennon, but those are paraded.
Frank Alvarez
No, it's a good song, but those are people that are just like, I, they're, they're like. You better say it's imagined by John Lennon. If not, like, you're a piece of.
Ant Prisco
I think it's just like an overrated song. Like, I think that it's a great song, and I understand that it probably, at that time, it was, like, way more impactful for that time than it was for me. I listen to that song and I'm like, this is a good song. It's not the best song ever.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, it is also, like, it is now being tied to one of the most, like, secondhand embarrassing moments of the last, like, decade, where those celebrities sang that during the pandemic as they're sitting in their multimillion dollar mansion and they just open up with, hey, imagine there's no heaven coming from Gal Gadot of all people. You know, it's just Going to California by Led Zeppelin is one that not a lot of people know of. Wish you were here by Pink Floyd.
Ant Prisco
Someone said truly, madly, deeply. Remember that song?
Frank Alvarez
No. What's that one?
Ant Prisco
I don't know. If you don't know it by name, I don't really know how to say. Oh, it's a. It's a. I wanna stand with you.
Frank Alvarez
Unbelievable, dude. Until the sky falls down on me.
Guest/Producer Ant
I see respect here by Aretha Franklin.
Frank Alvarez
Aria speeds Tea. It's a.
Ant Prisco
It's a hard song to do for karaoke if you're hammered.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, we know one per. Ange is like, oh, my gosh.
Ant Prisco
Yo, this girl. It was like the first time we were hanging out with our friend's girlfriend at the time, is his wife now, but. And she got drunk and that we were doing, like, karaoke and she was like, give me the. And she does. She did.
Frank Alvarez
Respect.
Ant Prisco
But she was hammered. I was like, I love this, yo.
Frank Alvarez
She crushed that. So, so nice.
Ant Prisco
So good.
Frank Alvarez
I'm gonna remind you of a song you probably haven't thought about in 20 years, but you know what song is still a banger? Remember the song S E X by Life Jennings?
Ant Prisco
Nothing you just said makes sense.
Frank Alvarez
S E X. Take a deep breath.
Ant Prisco
Life Jennings.
Frank Alvarez
You've never. You don't remember that song? That's a. That's a really, really good song.
Ant Prisco
Someone said, Hotel California.
Frank Alvarez
That's a great song banger.
Guest/Producer Ant
They're saying whatever it takes.
Frank Alvarez
But who sings that?
Guest/Producer Ant
Whatever it takes.
Ant Prisco
What? I'll do whatever it takes.
Frank Alvarez
I don't think you say no.
Ant Prisco
I think that's what it is. So it's a fast car.
Frank Alvarez
It's also a fast car. I mean, fast cars are. Is a well known one. I'm just thinking that they're talking about a car. I know it's not. But like, you got a fast car. It's like, okay. And I know there's more meaning behind it. Never been my favorite song.
Ant Prisco
Someone said, Mr. Brightside, I'm gonna block Her.
Frank Alvarez
There are certain songs that I think people confuse popularity with being a great song.
Ant Prisco
Scenes from an Italian restaurant, Bottle of red.
Frank Alvarez
Look, don't get me started on that song.
Ant Prisco
A Bottle of White.
Frank Alvarez
I have been obsessed with that song lately.
Ant Prisco
It's a good song.
Frank Alvarez
Things are okay with me these days. Got a new job, got a new office. I got a new life. I got a new wife, and the family is fine. Oh, lost touch long ago you lost weight I did not know.
Ant Prisco
God damn it. So good.
Frank Alvarez
Look, you see this? This is that. We hid it Hope.
Ant Prisco
Hopelessly devoted to you but now there's.
Frank Alvarez
Nowhere to hide Would you push my love aside? I can't. I. I'm. I'm still a little horsey. Raspy. Hopelessly Devoted is so crazy. Defying Gravity is up. There is a knocker of a song.
Ant Prisco
I said this the other day, too. I think the melody. There's. There's melodies in Landslide that I'm like, there's no way someone can hear that and not like it. There has to be something scientific about that melody. That's so good. And I feel the same way about a certain melody. In For Good?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. I haven't heard it yet.
Ant Prisco
But you've never heard For Good.
Frank Alvarez
I haven't seen the second part.
Ant Prisco
You've never, like, heard the song?
Frank Alvarez
No. You've never heard For Good? No.
Ant Prisco
Are you insane? You've really never heard that song before?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, No, I haven't yet.
Ant Prisco
Oh, it's beautiful, dude. Sure.
Frank Alvarez
I'm sure it is.
Ant Prisco
Oh, my God. You gotta hear. You gotta. Oh, come on.
Frank Alvarez
I'm sure it is.
Ant Prisco
I mean, people argue. That's better than Defying Gravity.
Frank Alvarez
Really?
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Okay, we'll see. I mean, we could go on and on and on. I mean, my music taste is gonna bring out, you know, like, hey Jude is one of the greatest songs of all time.
Ant Prisco
Frank. I saw a video recently, and I was like, this could be. This is, like, the greatest maybe moment ever. But it was. That's dramatic. But, like, Paul McCartney was doing a concert, and he's doing hey Jude and he's playing the piano, and it's just a sea of people.
Frank Alvarez
People.
Ant Prisco
And he just goes, nah. And then he stands up and the crowd is. Na, na, na. That's gotta. Yeah. So loud.
Frank Alvarez
That's gotta be better than that. That's gotta be bananas, that feeling. I mean, there's also gotta be something crazy. I mean, Paul McCartney obviously is a music legend and, like, has a ton of songs, but, like, the idea of creating something and then it lasts that long crazy. And it's, like, still selling out stadiums 60 years after it came out. It's Wild Is Bananas. And then he'll throw in, like, one of his modern songs. People like, yeah, get the hey Jude, you know, like, yeah, that's just nuts.
Ant Prisco
I wonder, what does that. Like, what's the reason my songs, like, Staying Power, it's so hard to appeal to a completely different generation. And you've done it. Not even the one below you, but.
Frank Alvarez
Like, I think that they're like, at least I could. I. Like, there are certain sounds and music genres that are so specifically tied to when they came out that they don't have the legs to last forever. I mean, like, a lot of people talk about, like, hair metal of, like, the 80s, like that, you know, like White Snake and Guns N Roses. Like, they've made songs at last. But a lot of their stuff is, like, it stays right where it is. And you see that now a lot with, like, modern hip hop. People feel that way, you know, even hip hop from when we were kids, you know, like, the sound of, like, you know, like, disturbing the piece. Like that Atlanta sound or even, like, out west, like, the Hyphae sound. Like, people feel like it's so representative of that time that it doesn't have legs, you know? I mean, yo, like, have you ever heard, like, OG Rap? It's all about this saying and, like.
Ant Prisco
It'S like Slick Rick and.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Like, it's so. Like, it's tied to a time, so it's not going to last forever, but, like, the stuff that is just like. You could play this anytime and it still works. Yeah, you know, hey Jude's like that. I think a lot of, like, classic rock is like that. Like, it just. It wrote, like, the standard for that genre.
Ant Prisco
I mean, I don't know. I think a lot of classic rock is, like, not going to make it.
Frank Alvarez
To Gen Z. I mean, I think it's already made it 50 years. If you can last 50 years.
Ant Prisco
Oh. I mean, what's the oldest song?
Frank Alvarez
It's got to be, like, a Gregorian chant.
Guest/Producer Ant
It's the. Like the Tiptoe through the windows. Like that era.
Ant Prisco
No, some like that.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, there. I mean, there's hymns that come before that.
Ant Prisco
No, I meant like, like a. Like the oldest, like, popular song that we all like.
Guest/Producer Ant
Oh.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, ask, you know, a brittle boy over here.
Ant Prisco
Gregorian chant.
Frank Alvarez
There's songs from, like.
Ant Prisco
I used to have an electric piano that one of the settings on it was Gregorian. And you could just play and it would sound like, yeah, it was very weird.
Frank Alvarez
I mean, I, I remember I would listen to the Pandora station, like Queen radio and they would mix in like Glenn Miller Band.
Ant Prisco
Like, like, I don't even. Who's Glenn Miller? I know Steve Miller Band.
Frank Alvarez
Well, Steve, Glenn Miller Band is like an older, like, you know, like the, they did music during like World War II where it was like. But like they had music at that time, you know, and that's probably like the 30s or 40s.
Guest/Producer Ant
Do you know what the number one song of all time is? Like the number one like on metrics. It's the best selling single ever. Do you know what that is?
Ant Prisco
Would we know?
Guest/Producer Ant
I think so.
Frank Alvarez
Give us an era or give me a genre.
Guest/Producer Ant
Christmas songs.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, then it's got to be Jingle Bells or White Christmas. There's like 10 Christmas songs.
Guest/Producer Ant
It's White Christmas, Bing Crosby. It's number one best selling single ever.
Frank Alvarez
Dreaming. I mean, that's kind of staying power.
Ant Prisco
That's wild. What is. Does it have like the numbers?
Guest/Producer Ant
Is the best selling single ever. 50 million copies. It might be a different. It might be a different, like, like he had to sell 50 million.
Ant Prisco
Like.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like also streaming now, making one.
Ant Prisco
Song and it does 50 million.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, dude. I mean, damn.
Ant Prisco
Bing, bing, bang, boom.
Frank Alvarez
There. There are other songs that like, like. Do you know what the greatest. This is what I meant to say. Do you know what? Like, I. I'm pretty sure that, you know the best selling album of all time.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. Eagles greatest hits. Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
That's so like crazy. Eagles are great, but that's very random to me.
Ant Prisco
It is too, because it's like the Eagles, of course they're a big band, but they don't feel like the biggest band in the world. It's bigger than fucking the Beatles.
Frank Alvarez
Well, I think this second one was for a while it was Michael Jackson. I think it was Thriller.
Ant Prisco
They're bigger than Michael Jackson. Jackson.
Guest/Producer Ant
I think Michael Jackson retook the top.
Ant Prisco
Okay, so.
Guest/Producer Ant
But it's, it's those two I'm seeing.
Ant Prisco
Like, it's, it's pretty much Eagles Greatest Hits was like the top selling album.
Frank Alvarez
Which is such a strange. Like, again, I love the, the Eagles great album. I, I mean it's, it's just like that's a cop out. Like it's a greatest hits. It's a greatest hits album. Like a straight like hits album was Thriller because every song in there became a hit. But yeah, weird, weird, weird, bro.
Ant Prisco
I came in a mat like even 50 cent, like coming out with Get Rich. Or die trying. And then, bro, you're selling, like, literally an overnight success.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
You literally come out. Put one out, mount. It's like you're rich forever, basically.
Frank Alvarez
But then he's. But then he also put out, you know, St. Valentine's Day massacre, or what was it called? The Massacre Massacre. The Massacre. I think it came out around Valentine's Day.
Ant Prisco
For Mercy, Too.
Frank Alvarez
Beg for Mercy, which. You know how I feel about that unit album, bro. That was. That was back for me.
Ant Prisco
That was so good.
Frank Alvarez
You know how I feel about that album. Top to bottom, all hits.
Ant Prisco
Was it you who had the poster?
Frank Alvarez
I don't think I had the poster, but I did have a printout of the lyrics to every single song.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, that was my favorite part about getting physical.
Frank Alvarez
When you open it and it had.
Ant Prisco
The lyrics in it, I was like, oh, I can. Now I know the word.
Frank Alvarez
There are some. I have some old vinyls that have that, too. It'll be like, you know, Steve Miller Band. Yeah. And it'll be like, the Joker, you know.
Ant Prisco
Yo, Jet Airliner. That is one of my. Like, that's up there for me.
Frank Alvarez
Jet Airliner's a good one.
Ant Prisco
That song, it's so nostalgic for me. It reminds me, like, of being like.
Frank Alvarez
I think there's another one on there called, oh, well, Take the Money and Run. Swing Town. Swing Town's a banger, too.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
That whole album is crazy. Yeah.
Guest/Producer Ant
Swimming Pools by Kendrick Lamar reminds me of Minecraft.
Ant Prisco
Of what?
Guest/Producer Ant
Minecraft.
Frank Alvarez
Why?
Guest/Producer Ant
I said, just listen to that song on Replete while playing Minecraft. So now every time I hear it, I think about Minecraft, and then you.
Frank Alvarez
Got to go yearn for the mines.
Ant Prisco
What's. What song reminds you of, like, your parents?
Frank Alvarez
I have one for each of them. Obviously. Landslide is my mom. Oh, that's the easy one.
Ant Prisco
Why?
Frank Alvarez
That's, like, my mom's song.
Ant Prisco
Like, she loves that song.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, my God. There's also another one if we're gonna just go away from Landslide, called Vaheva La.
Ant Prisco
Is that. Oh, I'm thinking of the Jewish.
Frank Alvarez
No, no, it's like a. It's. I'm pretty sure it's Loggins and Messina.
Ant Prisco
What is it? Nahiva Hala. That was not.
Frank Alvarez
It's really good. And then my dad. It's. It's a Spanish song from the Gypsy Kings.
Ant Prisco
Okay.
Frank Alvarez
You know.
Ant Prisco
You know what song reminds me of your dad? I'm dead serious.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, boy.
Ant Prisco
Party like a rock star.
Frank Alvarez
Because he probably, like, pulled up in his car blasting it.
Ant Prisco
No, I have a Very, like, vivid memory of him picking me up at my house in a giant car.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, yeah.
Ant Prisco
And we drove to pick you up because you were somewhere. I don't even know where. And then we went to McDonald's, and then we went to Connecticut for the first time. And he. And you were blasting party like a rock star. So it reminds me of your dad because he was like, I have a.
Frank Alvarez
Bunch of songs trying to hold your hand.
Ant Prisco
And the whole dad experience right there.
Frank Alvarez
Hotel California reminds me of your dad.
Ant Prisco
That's a good one.
Frank Alvarez
I would say.
Ant Prisco
That's my dad's favorite song.
Frank Alvarez
Landslide also reminds me of your mom. But then, like, my dad, there's, like, random ones that, like, my dad is, like, obsessed with. You know, like, my dad. Once, I remember it was like, Christmas Eve, and we were driving and this was like, later in life. It was like 2009. And the song we are Young by Fun came on.
Ant Prisco
Your dad loved it.
Frank Alvarez
And I remember looking over at my dad and, like, my sister and brothers were in the back. I was in the front seat, favorite child. And I look over at my dad, and we were, like, singing the song. And I look over and he's hysterically crying. So, like, to this day, that kind of ties it.
Ant Prisco
Tonight we are young. And he's like.
Frank Alvarez
But like, my dad, like, there's, like, two songs that my dad loves from the ones from the Gypsy Kings and one's from Jorge Saladon.
Ant Prisco
Okay.
Frank Alvarez
Caminando por la calle from the Gypsy Kings.
Ant Prisco
Okay.
Frank Alvarez
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's actually a banger. And then Estavita by Jorge Celadon. It's just like, Gabonita. Like, how beautiful is this life? Yeah, you know, that's it.
Ant Prisco
What about you?
Guest/Producer Ant
I was thinking about it while you guys are talking. I think for my mom, it might be Carry on, my wayward son.
Frank Alvarez
Banger.
Ant Prisco
Kansas.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, it might be Kansas.
Frank Alvarez
Bang. I could see your mom tearing the dance floor up to that.
Guest/Producer Ant
And then my dad, it's like, Anything by Pitbull, probably.
Frank Alvarez
That sucks.
Ant Prisco
Pitbull reminds you of your dad?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, probably Pitbull. Listen, your dad, I've met him. He's a nice guy. I just want to say this. That sucks.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah. Yeah.
Ant Prisco
It's not great. Anything by Pitbull.
Frank Alvarez
Anything. Anything by Pitbull.
Ant Prisco
By the way, just hearing.
Frank Alvarez
Just, like, the idea that your dad gets in the car, puts the music on, and it's Mr. 305. And he's just, like, on a leisurely drive to work. The pit bull screaming at You.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Isn't that Pitbull?
Ant Prisco
I don't even know what you're saying.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, whatever.
Guest/Producer Ant
Mr. Worldwide, you know?
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, that is Mr. Worldwide for Mr. Yellow.
Ant Prisco
Is your dad worldwide?
Guest/Producer Ant
I don't think so.
Ant Prisco
Wouldn't say.
Frank Alvarez
I wouldn't say he's worldwide.
Ant Prisco
He's pretty. Just. All right.
Frank Alvarez
Interesting. Very interesting.
Ant Prisco
My dad's not worldwide either.
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah, it happens.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Do you have any songs that remind you. Your siblings?
Ant Prisco
Any songs that remind me of my siblings?
Frank Alvarez
My brother, while you're thinking. My brothers is Ambition by Wale.
Ant Prisco
God, that reminds me of him, too.
Frank Alvarez
They were so obsessed with that song.
Ant Prisco
Loved Wale.
Frank Alvarez
They were like, obsessed. Like, it was like, borderline weird. And then my sister. That's a tough one. Like, anything from, like, Greece, because we loved that stuff growing up. She. She loved Usher.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. I mean, your family reminds me of that incest song. Well, it's not.
Frank Alvarez
Stop.
Ant Prisco
No way. The song isn't about incest. You guys make it about incest.
Frank Alvarez
No, no, it is about having sex in a car. But yes, when you like the song and your siblings and parents like it. It is. It is. Then weird.
Ant Prisco
Well, when you're. When you're on opposite sides of the room and yelling it at each other.
Frank Alvarez
To be fair, I'm not yelling it at my sister when I'm singing that song. I'm yelling it at the other. The other people that are not related to me by blood.
Ant Prisco
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
I don't know.
Ant Prisco
I don't think there's songs like all like those, like Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessional. Those reminded me of, like, Shannon Thomas.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. Like Check Yes, Juliet.
Ant Prisco
Yeah, well, that was, like, later, but I was a little older. They remind me of.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah.
Ant Prisco
Banana Pancakes, Jack Johnson. Oh, that reminds me of my brother Thomas. He was really into that.
Frank Alvarez
The Remedy and you're gonna Love Me by the Backwoods is Keith.
Ant Prisco
Oh, wow. Those are good choices. Keith loves those.
Frank Alvarez
I know.
Guest/Producer Ant
Those are big songs in the semi charm.
Ant Prisco
Semi charmed life. Keith knows every single word, so that may be for him, but. Yeah, it's funny, man. I love music.
Frank Alvarez
I got songs that remind me of everyone. Like, everyone has a song, you know, what's aunt song?
Guest/Producer Ant
Yeah.
Frank Alvarez
Give me some time. I'll come up with a good one.
Ant Prisco
It's definitely like a flow rider song or something.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, well, yeah, it would probably be something like that. Or it would be like, you know, like around the World by. Because you love that song by Daft Punk.
Guest/Producer Ant
I'd rather that. I mean, that's not as. That's not great.
Ant Prisco
Is that around the World.
Guest/Producer Ant
But flow Ride is not great either. We'll. We'll spend some more time together.
Ant Prisco
I mean, now you're a pitbull for me.
Frank Alvarez
I could see you being a Margaritaville guy.
Ant Prisco
Oh, my God, you're a buffeter.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, you're a. Okay, that sounded like a slur. I could see you just being, like a Simon, you know, like watching the sun break.
Ant Prisco
If you like Pina colada.
Frank Alvarez
Oh, that's a good. That's a great song. Actually, I have been on a yacht rock kick. Thank you, Zach. I appreciate that. Yeah, there's some. There's some, you know, banger on, baby Comeback.
Ant Prisco
Oh, that's a good one.
Frank Alvarez
Only a Fool Believes by the Doobie Brothers.
Ant Prisco
What's that other Doobie Brothers song? That's so good. It's like their song. What is that song down there? Or is that what songs?
Frank Alvarez
I mean, just gonna have to look up Doobie Brothers songs.
Guest/Producer Ant
Oh, he's doing that. What about Beach Boys?
Ant Prisco
Listen to the music. Listen to the music in China Grove, yo. They still like selling shit.
Frank Alvarez
Good for them. They can pull push tickets, huh?
Ant Prisco
Nine million monthly listeners.
Frank Alvarez
Good for them. I'm one of them, let me tell you. Throwing that bitch on. Yeah. You know Kokomo. No, Coco, that's too. Oh, like, the Beach Boys were too, like. That's two back there, bro.
Ant Prisco
Wouldn't it be nice? Nuts.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah, That's a good song.

Frank Alvarez
Apparently, that's your Spotify age group.
Ant Prisco
Yeah. That song is so good.
Frank Alvarez
Yeah. I can't remember any other ones off Top Man.

Date: December 22, 2025
Hosts: Joe Santagato, Frank Alvarez
Guest/Producer: Ant Prisco (Featured throughout)
This episode of The Basement Yard is a quintessential showcase of the podcast’s blend of humor, nostalgia, and relatable banter among lifelong friends. The main conversation spirals from playful debates about hygiene mishaps, thoughtful gift-giving, and infamous urban legends, to a surprisingly philosophical and funny analysis of whether people kiss more lips or cheeks in their lifetime. Along the way, the trio delves into pop culture, personal stories about growing up, and a spirited ranking of the "greatest songs of all time."
This episode showcases what makes The Basement Yard a fan favorite: heartfelt and hilarious reminiscence, clever pop-culture debates, and a uniquely honest look at everyday intimacy (from greetings to the philosophy of kissing). If you’re looking for an entry point into their world—or wondering about the true ratio of lip-to-cheek kisses in your own life—this might be the definitive episode to start.
