you're wearing a rainforest cafe shirt uh sort of it says picky boys cafe it was a whole uh enjoy the lawsuit yeah moron what are you doing they're coming after you for that one my friend get this guy did they well i guess they they're like on the way out the rainforest cafe so they're probably i mean he's keeping them fucking yeah you're single-handedly if anything yeah they should thank me yeah when we were in vegas i passed by one in the in the tax in the uber and i was just i sent the picture to him and he's like i would go with you a hundred times over a hundred you know like i'm just down i just is it like it's it's just it's just like a fridays right like a tgi fridays yeah but like way cooler because of the leaves fake leaves yeah and because every like 30 minutes they play thunder and lightning and water sounds yep do they yeah yeah that's the idea of the rainforest part of it that makes sense and it's just like cheap looking i'd rather go to a chuck of cheese brother well this is a horrible battle why i'd rather go to hell than both one of them probably is like hell i'll let you figure out which one uh yeah it's been a it's been a it's been a day why it was i mean you know why it was uh ruby's first day of school yeah i did wait i got text this morning from you and greg it was also yeah it was greg's daughter's first day of of school but yeah this was like her first first yeah and uh it was a tough day for daddy yeah you uh were out there just just letting it go crying was she crying no no i held it together until i got in the car because the car on the way there i went home wow which way a little bit of both got it uh it it started i woke up i went you know i went to uh the gym and then it started the second i got home from the the gym because i was just thinking like oh fuck you know happened today and then uh i set up i don't know if you guys have seen this but like a lot of people have been doing this thing where like kids will go to their first day of school and parents will set up their like action figures and they're like waving by to send them off all right you know what fucking i don't want to talk about this never mind yeah yeah yeah so oh okay it's gonna be it's gonna be one of those it's gonna be one of those i can't imagine so like so i didn't do all that but i set them up to have breakfast with her oh fuck you and it was like toys that were like the first toys she's ever played with fuck you yeah it was it was uh it was a tough one so it was like oh did we're all here so you go to school and i did like the ones that they're here to be to help you be brave uh-huh and it was like spider-man and batman and mike wazowski and some of her dolls and superheroes are that mike wazowski yeah as sully was there yeah uh the bluey family was there the healers as they're called so she had breakfast she had excited bro she was pumped yeah she was pumped i i've been like dreading it for a while um but she's been ready for a while like she's been so ready to go to school like she's like i want to make friends i want to learn i want to meet my teacher she's been ready but we haven't yeah yeah yeah you know becca and i were not ready you're so worried about the kids crying and you don't think about well bro the way that i think about it and i'm going to try to get through this sentence as best as i can is she is the most pure innocent kind-hearted little kid yeah and like the idea fucking god damn it four minutes in we got this the idea of sending her into the world and like the world possibly not being kind to her uh-huh is fucking terrifying to me yeah because like i think as you as a parent like they're yours so like you you you literally and figuratively hold them close oh that's a bad it's gonna it's gonna fucking and like you protect them but like like you there's a little bit of letting go that you have to do right not cool with that yeah it must be really hard nah dude and last night it fucking god we were on the way back from my brother's uh because we went for the rehearsal dinner and uh we're in the car and we're like ruby are you so excited she's like yeah you know i want to learn blah blah blah and then she goes i'm sad about mave i'm like why are you sad about mave and she's like who's mave gonna play with when i'm gone dude fucking god jesus no i'm not like in that moment what'd you say i i kept quiet i kept quiet like dad hold on just give me a minute i let mommy handle that one yeah she was like mave won't know what to play who's she gonna play with and i was like fuck yeah just like the of like in that moment she just thought about like her sister yeah and like is she gonna be okay like she knew she was gonna be okay right and she was just like this is like my best friend like is she it's so nice to like with children when you can get to a point where there's examples of this yeah just take it out shoot it um not the children the heart i don't know if the camera was on yeah let's put the camera on that one a camera on that one but when you have moments where you're like oh i'm doing a good job because my daughter is in this moment that's like about her but she's thinking about someone i mean just like that's like such a that's not a child's mentality you know what i mean like that's like that's a or a level of emotional maturity you don't expect or at least i don't expect from a four and a half year old yeah you know like in that moment and like she didn't say this because for whatever reason but like she wasn't like she didn't i wonder like is she thinking about like me and becca and miles and stuff like that like is she worried about how we're gonna be but like her first thought to just be like this is my sister we play together every day yeah what is she gonna do yeah that's nice is fucking dude so you dropped her off well we got it you know like we got her ready you got it she was so fucking excited dude like she she wore a special like she wore the dress she wanted she she had a bow she had a bow we got a problem on our hands she had those signs that's like first day of school oh i loved it and i'm a big fan of those signs like children now when they go to school is like first of all they were just like send us to school yeah i got sent goosebumps fucking lunchbox and it was like get out of my hair get the fuck out of there walk there yeah yeah yeah um oh my god we've become our parents now we're that's our version of i've walked 20 miles uphill to get to school yeah disgusting yeah but they have the signs now that say like here's my name here's my teacher's name here's what i want to be when i grow up so so it was said you know my name is ruby it's my first day of pre-k yeah i am four years old and then it said uh i love school yeah she had never been to school and then it said i want to be popular when i grow up it says i want to be blank when i grow up and she wrote popular it's amazing and i i think she did that because she loves uh like she loves the song popular from the wicked movie ah so like i wonder if she sees like a pink princess like ariana grande and was like i want to be that right she always says like i want to be a princess or something like that so i just want to be popular dude dropping her off i gotta say kudos to the school because like the moment you walk in they're like we're taking the kid like they're like fucking rip the band-aid off they don't like because i'm sure there is a science to like i'm getting through this pretty good i'm actually pretty surprised there's a science to like if you let them wallow in it if you let the family sit in it a little bit it gets harder and so it's like rip the band-aid take them in let them let them go and do their thing they're probably doing that for you guys too i imagine yeah but you know mave mave was a little upset but it was because there was like a playground outside and she wanted to go on the playground and we didn't know um miles was surprisingly like emotional uh-huh and then and then becca was good she held it together daddy daddy's voice we knew that was happening daddy's voice was cracking yeah i sat like i sat with her and i just like i i i hugged her and i you know i said you know basically just you know go enjoy yourself be brave make you know do what you know a combination of stuff like that and i knew i think in that moment i knew i had to hold it together because i think if she was going to do it she was going to do it she was going to do it she saw me upset she'd get upset yeah yeah so then when we got to the car it was good night a grenade of emotion i was firing him off yeah you know to the point where i'm driving and becca's like you good are you okay maybe i should drive full over like bro the idea of like you like the love for a child is unlike anything in the world i actually heard i'm gonna give credit where credit is due sal uh volcano from uh from impractical jokers yeah so he put it the best way i've ever heard it put about having kids he's like yo you have kids at 35 let's say what do you think it feels like you just out of nowhere 35 years of living you just feel a new emotion that you've never felt before yeah you've never felt before and it's so fucking intense and like the love for children and you guys will see it if and when you have children and then the idea of like you need to because that's part of life right is like you need to let them go a little bit i think that's why it's so hard for certain parents to like sometimes you have you meet people and they have very over overbearing parents and it's probably because of exactly what you're saying like it's a necessary part to you have to allow your kid to make mistakes and whatever like that's just a part of it you have to let them do things that are wrong and it's so hard because you're like you feel like i know all the answers bingo but you don't because the world changes and by the time that they're teenagers it's like you know the answers back then yeah but imagine your parents trying to be like over your shoulder it's also to me though like a heartbreaking realization that you have to allow the world to kind of harden your children yeah like that is sad because like you think of like the hurt that you've gone through in your life whether it be as an adult as a kid you know because when you're a kid it's little things you know someone takes your fucking juice box or some shit like but like the fact that you need to experience that to become tougher or or or better on the parents yeah is misery because like that's hard like as a parent your your natural instinct is you want to help you want to heal you want to fix so like the fact that you kind of have to just yeah that sucks yeah that sucks i imagine that's very difficult i don't like it call it what you want whether it be selfish or what i am completely fine with like the idea of like i get i get helicopter parents now and i really don't try to be one and i don't think i am one but like i get it is that they like always hovering yeah they're always they're always hovering they fall they run over you know like you know the kids fall i give it a beat see if they're good you good you know if not i you know but like i get it yeah i get it entirely yeah it's tough because it's like you feel like this is the right thing like i should be there for my kid but then it's also like the argument of if you try to fix every single one of their problems you're kind of you're doing them a disservice you're hindering their ability to self-cope and you know figure things out for themselves which ultimately they will need later you know obviously and then like because i you know although miles is not my biological son like i don't remember having this visible visceral of a reaction when he went to daycare it could be because he's not my biological son it could be also though because like my mentality might get a little political here is the world is he's a boy not always kind to women yeah and like this is this porcelain doll of a daughter that i have yeah and like i'm going to put her into the world that like may or may not be kind to her specifically to women by other bro i'm not even kidding becca and i were talking about it before i came in today like if we were talking about it before i came in today like if we were to find out a boy's bullying her i was like yo i'm gonna be one of those parents i'm gonna go down into the school and i'm gonna raise hell oh of course like like i'll be whatever the male version of a karen is a gary i'll be here comes gary i'll go in as gary and i'll fucking raise hell and just be like yo i'm not fucking dealing with this yeah that that is not that's not where you want to fuck around at all yeah i mean that that's that's very tough but i think there is a at least i guess as fathers like if you have a daughter i'd be way more protective of like a daughter than a son because the son is kind of like you know obviously you want you don't want your son to be bullied like that's not you know yeah yeah yeah i know absolutely i just think there's more of an innocence i guess i feel like it's hard to explain and and this might be like maybe a little too intensive of a of a mentality to take but like the approach that i kind of bring to it is just like you want to teach a boy to be a good man and you want to teach a girl how to spot bad ones if that makes any sense like you're basically you're teaching a boy to to be not bad evil yeah you know and a girl to spot that and like what are you doing you're teaching a boy to be a good man and you want to teach a girl how to spot bad ones if that makes any sense like you're basically you're teaching a boy to to be not of those is scarier because like you could teach a like to this is it's not coming out the way that i'm envisioning in my head right now but like it's easier to spot like the only way you could spot the bad versions of it if you're exposed to it you know what i mean like you can teach there's just more risk with girls at least the way that i think about it you know what i mean like in terms of like the world being kinder to them like it's just more risky because you can only control so much yeah and i also like you know i think that men probably get away with more shit than than women do also so i mean it's very important to you know raise good men because there are dudes like dudes can abuse the system not saying that women can't either but they have less of an opportunity than men do like men are in a lot of important positions in the world so like if you raise a bad dude or if they just become a bad dude or whatever the case is like that is a giant uh that could be a giant um like a negative thing to happen to like a bunch of people i also think like and this might be just like too much of a like black and white way of thinking about it but like what happened i love that we've got to this she's going to pre-k yeah where they're coloring all day yes but i get it i get kindergarten's gonna be tough yeah yeah first grade's gonna be tough like she's getting in there all right let's sit down at the board meeting but like i think like statistically like women are more likely to be victimized by men than the opposite you know what i mean like yeah i mean that that feels right i don't know the statistics so if someone wants to go crazy with the stats whatever but like that feels right in my head i'm i'm i'm it just feels like more of a like innocence yeah and and it and it it was fucking heartbreaking and i don't i didn't know i held it together she didn't see me upset i was on the way here she's only doing two half days right now uh-huh she did great she was happy so they had a great day i was like how what do you guys do she's like daddy i don't remember i'm like okay but tough morning stop asking me dude like basically yeah don't even you're not cool enough to know i'm very popular by the way i've gotten my wish she oh my god it's and i i'm not worried about mave i know i will be worried and it'll be emotional with mave too but like if someone like if someone were to take something from ruby feel bad for the teacher probably if someone let's use this as an example if someone were to take something from ruby ruby would let them take it not tell anyone but be upset about it yeah if someone were to take something from mave mave would walk over take it throw them to the ground yeah and then stomp away happily about it right you know so like and it just depends curb that see i think that's the biggest thing too like it really depends like how your child is too because like my nephew mikey is such a sweetheart so the idea of like but he's like a bigger dude so you're not really like worried but uh a bigger dude about a five year old but like compared to kids i know i know it's just a funny way to harder to bully like a bigger kid but like the idea of like someone doing something he's just like oh that makes me upset you know and it's like fucking punch this dude's lights out obviously you're not teaching your kids yeah no no you know a part of you is like dude stand up for yourself but like that's not how you know like in the house it's like this is your sister you're not gonna push your sister you're your mom be like that made me upset you know yeah it's it's uh tough day for frank it was tough it was tough oh and immediately put on like sentimental music when i got in the car oh you wanted to oh i wanted to sit in it i wanted to sit in it dude i love crying and then crying like hard cry yeah if i'm going like if i'm a little emotional and like something's getting me a little bit i'm like let's fucking take this to the moon and cry yeah but see hard crying driving is tough though because you can't really let loose oh i do it driving hell yeah that's dangerous dude that's like driving that's not i'm not even gonna say it that's dangerous dude drunk i think i think that's right oh i was like what um i no i do it like because music music sometimes i can like get in my head and like just make myself cry from like certain things what intensity of cry can you get in a car i can no i haven't cried like that in a while when i'm talking about like crying though it's like tears like actual tears coming down like strong tears coming down like yeah what the hell was that driving holding on to the oh i i was like he was just like i thought he was like tears yeah coming down i thought it was some anime thing because i know how much you're into it i was like i cry tears senpai um yeah no i can get myself going i've done it in the car a bunch of times on planes pretty much every time i've told you guys that planes i i don't think i've cried maybe once or twice on planes long flights like if the flight is over five hours there's a chance that at some point i i get welled up just for no reason i don't know it's weird no not me i'll do it just to like do it the airports like when i'm like waiting to get on a flight and i see like if i'm coming home and i like extra miss the kids and becca and i see like a mom with the kids or something like that i have to look down i can't look at it i can't i can't because it's it's just like you know yeah it's just like right there in front of you dude you know what i've noticed that's made me that makes me cry so much is people when they're so happy that they cry kills me so happy that they cry like when like a you know they're waiting at the airport with a sign and they finally show up and fucking they just like embrace each other yeah or it's like surprising people with something and they get so happy that it's weird like there's like an age bracket of like crying that gets me emotional like old bastards old people crying that gets me crazy that gets me going because there's power behind those tears old people just sitting alone boom oh i think there's old people no because i don't like them oh see like old people once they start being old at you i'm like all right once they start like you know like back in my day you kids you kids exactly but like if i i saw a video once of a girl driving by somewhere and there was a old guy sitting on like a bench with his dog next to him and i was like i'm gonna lose my mind right now really yeah i don't know old people with dogs gets me especially when the dogs are also old old men talking about how much they love their wife that passed hell yeah ruins me hell yeah fucking old bastards those make me cry like crazy yeah the one where it was just you ever see the fucking this is my kryptonite there was a video of a soldier coming home to his daughter to his daughter who's like three or something and she she sees him and she's in class and she starts running over to him she goes oh daddy yes video fucking murdered me yeah no i've seen the ones where she's like daddy i missed you nah yeah dude every time i come home from one of the shows mave gives me the biggest huss and she goes you came home what the hell she knows what she's doing she knows what she's doing dude it gets me every single time any of those soldier coming home ones get me if there's little kids involved turn me into sashimi and eat me on a tuesday 14 14 yeah dude those are those are fucked up i saw another one where it was like there was a it was like a football a football one of the captains walked out and they were like shaking hands with the captains but then the guy took his helmet off and he and it was his dad yeah no the soldier we know we've already spoken about this a million times the soldiers one gets me but you're right when it's like old sad old people yeah that gets me where it's just like we were together 70 years she's loving my life loving my life forever you know and then like that gets me because

don't know if it was a casting director i don't know it probably was a casting director but uh no yeah no no i haven't seen that i don't like if it i we spoke about it recently on an episode where it's just like old people finding out they're like grandson or granddaughter is named after them and it's just like nah man i see i like crying though that's my mom just had my my new niece is named after her oh god your mom must have fucking lost it yeah and then you know she would have turned into a show too i'd be like nance calm down nance used to get after it every new year she would cry her eyes out oh every new year's yeah she put on a show yesterday at my brother's rehearsal dinner i mean i imagine she was like and i'm like mom and she'd be like what like in a split second you know

um you know there's a lot of people out there that still there's this stigma around therapy or they feel like they're not doing well i don't have anything traumatic going on in my life i like to say that it's kind of like going to the gym for your brain you know it's nice to have someone who's unbiased you can kind of put all your stuff on and just talk about what you're feeling um you know for me personally sometimes i go into sessions i don't even know what i'm going to talk about but eventually you get to a point and you know just kind of keep talking and it's it's nice and it helps you kind of organize your life and thoughts and and whatnot especially if you have traumatic things going on or things that you struggle with it's very helpful for you to kind of organize your life and thoughts for that as well but uh the best part about better help is um you know it's it's more affordable than in-person therapy that is very expensive for people and sometimes that prices people out

It's her prophecy. If you're going to have that hat, you're going to yell. No. It's going to happen. Well, here's the thing. Karen has become such a big, like, thing that, like, white women, you need to protect yourself. It's a disease. It is a disease. Yeah. God damn it. Being a Karen is a disease. You know the haircut, dude. You know the haircut and you know the way. You know the self-entitlement. You know the delusions of grandeur. Yeah. Like, you know these things, so why do you contribute to it? I don't know. But there was a woman who fucking basically took a baseball from a child at a Phillies game. Just play the video. Yeah, I got you. And then we'll kind of talk about it. We'll get into the rules of. So, it's a little, it replays, like, a little bit, but the whole thing's here. Okay. If you just give it a second. Yeah, so see her haircut, you know what I'm saying? Like, not good. Everyone's just kind of like. Oh, I've got to say this. The dad looks a little afraid here. But, but, oh. The scanning. She went marching off. Dude, not a good look for the dad. I will say that. If someone taps on you at a game. And you, yeah. Yeah, that's a little. That's not a great look for him. The, the being scared here or whatever that was. Yeah, I don't know. I'm very confused by that. Here's what happens, right? So, a ball gets hit into the stands. Now, when a ball usually gets hit into a stands at a baseball game, everyone's scrambling for this ball. They want the ball. Rules are, there's no rules. Okay? You don't hit anybody, but everyone's grabbing for this thing. It's kind of like a fumble. Okay? It's pretty much like whoever gets palm on ball first. It's their, they've basically got it. Yeah, but you've got to pull it to you. Yeah. If you've got the ball like this, and you catch it like that, and there's a bunch of hands around, and someone pulls it out of your hand, it's their ball. No. It's their ball. That I disagree with. That I, that I disagree with. If you, as soon as ball and palm make contact. No way. Because it hits that hand, it could fall out. But, okay, so make, like, you need a, what do they say in football? You need a football move? Once, once you get the closing, and it's like in your hand, once you've wrapped your fucking sausage fingers around it, it's yours. I don't, I don't agree. I think that if like, you, if the ball's being hit in the air, right? And everyone's jumping up for the ball, and you get it in your hand like this, and you're still in this motion. If you have it, if you're like, yeah, if you can celebrate with it. Then it's your ball. But if it's like, in that motion, and people are going for it, and you lose it, you lost it. The best version of this that I've ever seen. Did you ever see when, when Barry Bonds hit the 756 home run? Yeah. It was a dude from Queens who caught it and just went, Like a fucking, like, thundercat. Yeah. You can't rob anyone once they have it. That's why if you grab it, you're supposed to pull it in. Yeah, you're supposed to, and it's, it, there is a respect of just like, all right, this, you give up at that point. It's like, all right, they got it. But, if it, A lot of times what happens is, it'll land in a spot where no one caught it, so it's on the ground. And everyone's making a mad dash for it. And sometimes a bunch of hands get on it, but it's whoever pulls it out of there that gets it. Yeah. That's kind of what happened here. Well, no, in the video, which it wasn't in this video, but I saw the, like, the OG OG. It, she's on the, like, the aisle above where the ball lands. So it hits, and it rolls down onto a new level. Yeah. And then at that point, the dad scoops it up. Uncontested, by the way. It looked like she was going for it, too. Can you, I think I, I think I have it here. Yeah, pull it up, because like, they, they were like both there. It was below her. It was like the seat below. So look, she's in the aisle and it goes below. Yeah. And he snags it and it goes under the seats and he got it and look, takes it excited, gives it to his kid, gives it to his kid. And then, oh, and she's like, Hey, that was my ball, bro. It's a fucking baseball. Also, bro, here's another rule that I have for you people out there, if you're at a baseball game and you catch a foul ball, give it to a child. Yes, dude. Give it to a fucking child. Dude. Unless it's like a, like a worth something. Oh, no foul ball is worth anything. Well, that was a home run. Yeah. That was, if it was like a, like a valuable home run, like, like when judge hit it or like Jeter's 3000 or Bonds. Shit like that. Dude, give it to a child, give it to a child. You know how pumped they're going to be? That's going to be like, that might be the moment. They're just like, yo, I want to become a baseball player when I become older and like you're etched in their memory is like, this person did this kind thing for me. Like that video is everything that I feel is fucking wrong with the world right now. Like this woman felt a sense of like fucking like it's mine because it landed in front of me and someone else like, fuck you. Yeah, bro. Dude, this woman sacrificed the body. You got to dive down there. You want it, you want it, put the body on the line, dive over. Have we, I'm sure the internet and I'm not going to ask this for like, I don't want to ask this question because I'm sure this woman is probably getting bullied, but she's getting her fucking, yeah, she's getting torched, whatever, but just, just, just, just like you're this and she's clearly like in her mid to late fifties, you would say maybe early sixties. I don't know. She's, she's, I think that's a dye job, dude. I think she has white hair. She's seen some stuff. Give the ball to the kid. Yeah. That to me is insane. Like it'd be one thing if you're going to walk over to like, you know, 27 year old dudes and be like, what the fuck? But like, there's a, it's in a child's glove. Yeah. It literally, so he goes over to his son, puts it in his son's glove. He's like hugging him. Like I got you a ball. Isn't this so cool? He's a Phillies fan. The Phillies hit the home run. And then this woman, he handled that well. I will say that I probably would have done the same thing. He, he eventually gave her the ball. He was like, here, take the ball. And he went like this. He's like, get the fuck out of here. Like, stop screaming at me and my kids. Jokes on what were you going to say? I feel like you wouldn't give the ball up. Not that, but it'd be funnier if I'm like this ball and threw it back. Launch it back. No, because then everyone loses. Yeah, cut the baby in half. But then everyone, but then everyone loses. I'm fine with that. I would be like, no, because I would rather, I'd rather my kid win. yeah but if you hand it back well he wound up winning because there's more of the story but i'm saying in that moment you handing it back you are losing i'd rather all right if i have to lose everyone i think there's a level of high like he took the high road she looks like a maniac a little bit there have been people that have like put this into ai and made her into like gollum from lord of the rings where she's like you know yeah i that was so dumb pretty poor pretty poor gollum impression i'm sorry about that it wasn't

son's glove then you maniac oh put her in the position that she needs to rip it from the kid's hand yeah like take it from you know this woman has the idea of like it was mine i'm gonna i don't care you're making me be the bad guy take it from your son i'll do it like no one agrees with you i gotta say something if this was my family first of all this woman's getting a verbal argument out of me she's because he gave it up pretty quick yeah she's getting a what you dumb dumb ass what would you realize i almost went dumb bitch you dumb bitch what would you do though if first of all if i'm in that situation and that woman comes storming up to me and she's using foul language look out all bets are off i'm gonna be the biggest little bitch in the world yeah i'm gonna be fucking i'm saying some crazy shit but she if like what would you do realistically like really put yourself there don't be like i'd flip out like really if if you're at a baseball game and that happens you get a ball you give it to to miles and your fucking daughters are there too yo it's miles's but like what do you do you'd be like yo just get out of here go the fuck away go away at a certain point if this woman is super intense i'm gonna look at becca and be like we're gonna have to you're gonna have to start swinging because i'm not you know just like if this woman starts like pushing and shit that's when i step back and i let you know yeah old freehold becca will come through and she'll be like squaring up with people and shit and i'll be in the back like get her ass bitch yeah she's old enough she knows the golden rule of finders keepers dude this woman sucks so bad i think like you're like here's the thing i'm not gonna lie to you i'm not gonna lie to you this is the thing is even though you got the ball you took it from a child yeah like how could you like if i'm how can you enjoy that if i'm her i would i would almost like have a moment like if i'm mad enough that i'm gonna walk over there and be like you took that from me blah blah blah and then he takes it out of the kid's glove and gives it to me there's no way i'm walking away with that because now i look like a maniac like you don't have a come to jesus moment of like oh shit i just took this from a kid and now everyone has seen that like give it to the kid but you're an asshole like i feel like if you want to do that like fine but bro you walk away with the ball is so i feel like there's a certain because i i love watching videos of like karen's getting owned you know what i'm talking about where you know like the one that i love is settle down oh my god calm down and the or like the one where like you know white women like old karens will like yell something at like a person of color and then turn around and fall on their face you ever see the video of the dude who like pulls up again of like next to those girls and and he's like screaming and she goes you're bald and he goes he just doesn't have anything to say he's like freezing no the one that i love and i actually think it might be fake because it kind of looks a little staged where like the girl it's like an old woman and she's like that's my bag i'm first in line he's like congrats you're first in line at chili's oh yeah and she's like i don't like your attitude yeah i love that i pray for someone to be a smart ass to me in public i really don't wish for that so do you give you said you would give the ball back if you're with your son little what were you walrus walrus your son little walrus you catch a home run ball of of a team that he's a fan of yeah like the only way i could see it being like no fuck that it's the kid's ball yeah i mean i think that like it would be tough i would i would probably like try to put in perspective for her being like you're gonna take the ball and you're gonna take the ball and you're gonna take the ball from the kid like what are you doing she probably she probably said like well you took the ball from uh an old woman but i would get that i'd be like okay if you think i'm an asshole that's that's one thing like fine like i don't care but like you're literally gonna take this ball from him like even if you caught the ball you should give it to him like that's what we do out here yeah i think we catch balls and we give them to children at this point in my life it would need to be a really cool ball for me to not give it to a kid judge's home run like his record ball yeah just so we're all on the same page here this woman is wrong had that been judge's home run record breaking home run ball i will throw a foot i will throw a high kick to anyone who's around for that ball can i ask you a question because this is a popular topic of conversation in the world of sports are you are you selling that ball are you danny makes fun of me forever for this you may have been there as well who's making fun of me too are you giving it for free are you selling it are you holding on to it because like this is a like a lot of people have like differing opinions people like there are some people that are like yo it's aaron judge's ball he worked for it he could take it scott free i'm pretty sure at one point in time that was my mentality me too now at one point i said to danny and danny was like you're a fucking idiot because he was i was like uh i think it was here's three thousandth hit and i was like i would give it to him like it's his ball like it's his whole career it's like this ball like i'm gonna hold on to it because i'm greedy and i need money but i feel like i change my tune as you learn more about like like if they want that ball they're gonna get it yeah they're gonna get that ball i mean here's the thing is if aaron judge were to hit like let's use that as an example aaron judge broke the single season american league home run record a couple years ago let's say the ball is worth three minutes and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna get it let's say the ball is worth three million dollars if aaron i'm more if the the yankees organization yeah was like we want the ball i would first of all have a high ask what's your ask i'm i'm getting season tickets for a number of years okay several years you also have to go to the games though i don't have to but at least i get it sure like i could go to the game like that's worth it to you you know how much yankee season tickets are no i know there are a couple hundred thousand yeah depending on where you are legend suite access like i'm gonna be like yo you're the yankees blank check but that's never been what people have gotten i know because they're just like no and then the people end up selling it on the like the at auction basically for millions of dollars on end and there have also been instances where people just give it to the athlete yeah and the athlete won't do it like maybe sometimes they'll be like here's a signed jersey and a signed bat and whatever yeah i think the the the honest moral high moral person in me says give it to them they earned it the realistic person in me though the american yeah says hold that shit sell it for five million at auction baby yeah like i'm like it's tough it would be tough to i think because we're in a we're paid well i'm more inclined to just give it to them yes but like for for an athlete to expect someone who's sitting in in the bleachers who caught this home run to not change their life with it i mean i would encourage that if i'm judged to be like bro you're gonna get three million dollars for that ball bro i mean it's just gonna be a baseball you know i'm taking no matter what position i'm in i'm taking three million dollars no i know i'm saying i'm in a very blessed position i'm very very well aware of that i'm in a very blessed position i'm very very well aware of that i'm not in that blessed of a position well i'm taking that three million dollars baby i'm not saying that i would absolutely blah blah blah it would also would have to be an athlete that i'm like if it was a team that i'm not a fan of you'd have to kill me for the ball oh like if it were like you caught like fucking if it was like a jets touchdown i'd be like i'm keeping this fucking ball forever why would you have it how are they handed it's more like how can they yeah no like they score a touchdown and they oh fuck you i see I see what you did there, bitch. What? You slimy fucking bitch. what what what the joke is they can't score a touchdown that's the joke that's the joke uh no if it let's say if it were a home run hit by anyone who's let me be very clear i'm keeping it if i went to like a yankees red sock game or a yankees bro if i went to a yankees astros game and i caught like a historic astro home run i am going to be the dumbest little slimy worm for this ball i'd be like oh yeah fold your whole team and admit you're cheaters you fucks admit it admit it you slimy bastards yeah like i am gonna be such a little prick about it yeah same with the red socks red socks i'll just be like you want it give me season tickets and then they give it to me and i'll be like oh i lost it in the river you know i just i can't i i think the realistic thing to do is to ask for them especially if it's like a big one like who's gonna really want like the hundredth career home run of fucking jose altuve yeah like if it's if it's a record-breaking home run it's like bro you hold on to that pull up the video of barry bond's historic home run and the guy that the guy it was a dude from queens that caught it i think he's in a mets jersey and he just throws i watched it live dude and i was just like yo that guy's probably at the time i was just like he's probably gonna make like a million dollars yeah if he had held on to that ball until today forget it five million ten million probably i don't know if we're gonna be able to like see the crowd though no you can you can see it right there in this one yeah look all right i got you mlb please we love you don't strike us look at that they definitely will yep and then watch this the guy throws his arm up right in the air that's a crazy home run to catch too 756 oh and i guess they're not gonna show this is what i imagine we're gonna show the crowd okay now for no reason whatever um but yeah catching that ball you're like your life's changed you're a millionaire now yeah but i'm sure i'm sure uncle sam comes in knocking cares still a millionaire you saw someone won the 1.8 bills yeah did they one person two two one in texas one in missouri wow dude i bought a couple tickets did you you bought a couple tickets no i was gonna but then i forgot that that mentality is so stupid to me what not buying lotto tickets in that situation i don't buy lotto tickets unless it's over a billion dollars what kind of rule is that i just it gets me excited you're like maybe yeah because and then all of my tiktok like fucking feed was just like here's what to do if you win the mega million powerball yeah one sign the back of the card take pictures with it photocop like if it's over a bill i'll play under a bill i'll be i won't you have more chances under the bill i can't even imagine what you would be like after like winning that like i feel like you would be so scared dude yeah you would be like yo i'm not going outside someone knocked on my door it's like his mailman no seriously i don't think i wouldn't tell a single soul i've thought about this because i used to be like yeah i tell my friends and family no one will know if you hit the the jackpot right you you immediately go into hiding i wonder how it is like i don't know about you have to give like where you want the money to end up and stuff like that i don't know about hiding but i am like for several months going to remain low like not hiding but like i really if i were to tell people because i really don't think i would it would take a while so because they were they were saying like this with the 1.8 billion it was like after original after basically all the taxes and all the fees it would be like 400 million dollars and then like the next year hold on what'd you say 1.8 and it would be 400 million if you take lump if you take lump half of it immediately gone yeah and then and then there's more income tax and stuff like that and then lump is another like 40 gone or maybe that was when it was 1.1 i i think 1.8 to 400 makes no sense i think it's around seven let's say so like lump some i mean look it up you can find it well whatever let's call it 500 let's call 500 million you're you will never work a day in your life if you chose not to of course as generational wealth forever i mean untaxed if you put it in the market you're getting 50 to 60 million dollars untaxed a year crazy i really really really don't think i would tell a soul for a very long time because i would be afraid but what would you but what so what would you do with it i mean i'm higher in security for what what the fuck you mean for what you're now you're in you're a almost a billion you just said no one knows i know so yeah i guess the security i guess the security will be i go to frank's house there's guards with guns i'm like what's this about nothing there would be signs like i said yeah what was it it's a 800 lump sum yeah you saw you saw 400 because it was two winners it's split all right so so basically after taxes it will probably be around 600 i thought the taxes was i think yeah i think that's what they walk away with i think that's everything taxes is the 50 800 million dollars crazy to just wake up to just you know in to go like this and you're a new person is crazy i'm i i would have to like i we've all the other times the jackpots have been this high we've talked about this i'm i'm sitting down and having a couple drinks in quiet you would need to hire a lot of people to do that yeah i think that's people to tell you what to do with your money that's too much money well they say they say that you the first thing you should do is contact a lawyer and uh like a basically like a money yeah financial advisor yeah and then our our financial advisor would be very happy but like even that like what do you do as a financial advisor when you get that much money uh you diversify i know but i'm saying like i imagine like that's an intense amount of money to have in your control sure i mean i i think you do like a mix of things i think it's a slow deployment of the funds like obviously you could put some in the market you're not gonna put all of it in the market though like i would be you would buy real estate you would buy that's that's all nice that first month i'm partying dude first month i'm going crazy but like well so what does that look like though to you for him twisted teeth fountain shoved fucking funneled into his ass i'll be honest it'll probably look about the same until i really realize i have all this and then it'll be oh man those parlays that you'll be throwing no i can't i can't i can't you would i mean there would be no reason to gamble if you have 800 yeah like you gambled to like you're trying to get that i was gonna say you're also a lot of people that are like gambling addicts say they didn't gamble to win they gambled for the feeling of yeah that's true you know so like they're still gonna gamble it's just the amount they're gambling with is changing yeah i dude i would go live in like europe somewhere or some shit you know i would go live in you just completely up and dip yeah thanks man i mean no i would still do this i would still do this what about the people that earn a living fucking no no no i mean obviously like that but i'm saying like you know i know what you would do yeah i would just kind of like we would record one day a week 10 episodes 10 episodes and then you'd come in for that one day fly from fucking europe on your private jet and then you'd go right back and live in a villa and fucking on the amalfi coast not there but somewhere for sure oh it was the the adors no that'd be nice the adors or or españa where they don't even eat dinner until like midnight you never heard that i have but i didn't say that it's like all that they always make fun of the people that like study abroad where they come back and they're just like 8 30 what that's so we don't even eat dinner until like midnight dude i hate that by the way i hate that idea where it's like top us fuck tapas well i don't like eating super late the absolute latest and i'll only do this if it's a really nice restaurant 10 o'clock absolute latest 10 30 i'm like nah interesting i haven't even thought about that like what's the latest i mean obviously like the best depending on where you're going if i'm going to a really nice restaurant i'll probably will favor like 8 30 9 yo so i just thought of one of the things i would do if i was if i won the jackpot it should be good richie rich style i'm putting a restaurant in my crib and it may not be a mcdonald's but like i'm putting a restaurant in my crib dude okay and like it could be no it won't be a functional right it'll just be for me right one table one table you know you don't need the full menu just what i want why not just get a chef yeah that's a good point you could get like a team of chefs that's a good point i like cooking though you ever see really rich people's houses and they have like a chef's kitchen that's so far dude there's like a kitchen and then a chef's kitchen i i like cooking but you know what at that much money i'm just gonna be a little like what do you want for dinner be like yo i would i don't think i drive joey a chef is a fucking sick one i don't think i would survive because i would be like every night tomahawks every night tomahawk every night tomahawks and fucking oysters and tommy tuesday tommy thursday dude tommy tomorrow tommy tomorrow yeah it's a tommy weekend yeah it's tommy time tommy today tommy time what's like the one thing that you would be like i'm gonna indulge a little bit oh i know all of it joey this joey's sign would be he'd show up with like a fucking like platinum daytona no uh i probably uh like really nice real estate not i i honestly have no interest in like not that i have no interest like i get from a investing perspective like real estate but like a sick house like i would love that i mean you're gonna have a sick house as it is bitch i meant like if you have 800 million dollars and being like i can just get like or yeah but like at what point is that just like Like, too much. You know what I mean? A house? Yeah, like, what are you going to get? Like, a house with, like, 20 bedrooms? For what reason? No, I wouldn't. See, yeah, I don't like that. I actually think that's mad creepy. Just, like, parts of your house that, like, there are people that are like, yo, I've only been in that part of the house once since I bought the house, and I've lived here for 15 years. Yeah, that's strange. I would rather, like, property and, like, a decent-sized house that's, like, homey and, like, you know, in-laws and your family and stuff. Like, everyone has their own rooms, which now that sounds like a lot of bedrooms. But something like that. But then, like, the outdoor space. Like, the entertaining spaces are large. Dude, my backyard. Like, the living rooms and the backyards. My backyard would be fire. Lazy River. Lazy River. Lazy River. Yeah. You know, you could throw in some fucking, you know, a bar. See, if I had 800 million, though, I would be doing dumb shit. Like, I would do, like, I would have, like I said, the entertaining spaces, if my house, I think, would be big because I like being around people and hosting and stuff like that. So, those things. But also, I would be, like, we're hiring whoever's the best, like, sushi chef in New York City to come and do it here. Oh, my God. And also hiring, like, a famous singer or something. Like, come sing a song. Yeah, like Taylor Swift is going to sing my daughter's birthday. Exactly. Yeah. Shit like that. That might be, too. That might still be out of budget after a while. It might be, yeah. If you had Taylor Swift. One a year. One a year. One a year. Not Taylor Swift. $800 million, dude. First of all, Taylor Swift's not picking up the fucking phone, dude. For $800 million, well, I wouldn't offer everything. I'd give her my fortune. If I said Taylor Swift, come and for $2 million, just sing, do a little concert, hang with the kids. I bet she would do it. $2 million? $2 million is a lot. $2 million is a lot of money. For a fucking dinner? And not only is it a lot, but it's so low lift. Like, she's probably making $3 to $5 million for her shows, and those are $3 million. Those are three hours of singing and dancing nonstop. Yeah. I'd be like, yo, come at your leisure, do some songs, and have food and drinks. Yeah. You know? $2 million? Bring Travis. We'll throw the pigskin around. I gotta admit, I'm kind of upset that no billionaires are fans of The Basement Yard because they'd just be like, yo, name the price, come do a show in my backyard. Would you do it? Honestly. That would be terrifying. Why? To go in someone's backyard and be responsible for a dinner party? Dude, if someone. Hit us up. Let me make something very clear. Shut the fuck up. Obviously, the answer is yes. Okay, thank you. Yeah. If someone hit us up and was just like, listen, I'm a billionaire. My kids love your show. Hello, I'm a billionaire. It's their birthday party. Just come and just, like, mingle and emcee the birthday party and have fun. Yeah. First of all, what are you asking for realistically? I wouldn't. I would make them offer. Smart. Let them offer, and then you say too low. What? And then you go up. Say too low no matter what. Or what? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So if they say, like, we'll give you a million dollars, you're like, sorry, that's too low. Let me think about it. All right, two million. Okay. Yeah. You know, and then you walk away with two million dollars. It's mad exciting. I mean, one million, because we'd split it 50-50. He's mad excited. You're not coming, bitch. We're emceeing this. Sorry. Can't do nothing. I can't do nothing. He's like, I produce this show. Who's going to produce? I wish you could just get money from people and the government doesn't take it, dude. I'm so sick. Me too. There is a way now. Yeah. Apparently. Streamers. Yeah. They just released this new tax thing where streamers tips and donations up to 25K tax-free. Up to 25K, though. That's fucking nothing. 25K is definitely not. I know. It's a lot. It's a lot. The first 25,000 being free. But I'm saying, like, you think of, like, Kai and the other streamers. They're too big for it to even count. That's a different tax code all in general. $25,000 tax-free is gigantic. That's a lot of money. No, I agree. But it starts there. So, like, after that. If they were to say, like, no tips or gifts that you receive from streaming is taxed, I'm going home and I'm streaming tonight. It's fair, but they got to get money at some point. But why? Like, why does a government need a piece of everything? The idea is that they're, you know, building the infrastructure. But they're not, dude. They are and aren't. They're not doing enough, I will say. But they are the ones who, like, they fix the potholes. I wish it would be like this. You can choose where to put your taxes. Yeah, but then. Because if it was just like you could. But, like, it's only, like, a certain amount. Like, once you do a certain amount in this place, then you have to pick another option. So, like, say it's like you can either give it to the government and they'll divvy it up. Or you can give it to the school system. Or you can give it to the, you know, public works. You know, sewage, electrical, all that. Well. Just some place. Places probably just need less money than others. Also, if you really want it, like, Florida. Like, no income tax. Yeah. Yeah, but that's, yes, they have no income tax. But they have other taxes where your money goes to. I just debunked this with someone that I know. In New York, you have every tax. Yeah, every. Oh, no, no, no. I know. City, state, federal. And you're talking to someone that works in one state and lives in another. So, guess who gets double butt fucked? Ugh. That was an intense way to put that. Yeah, that was very intense. But I get it. I think it calls for dramatics, though. It does. Yeah. But, like, you know. Yeah. It's tough. But someone, but then they would, if there wasn't that, then you'd be responsible to be, like, collecting money to be, like, we gotta fix this road. Or just go fix it yourself. You can fix the highway? No, no, no. I can't, and I won't. Was it you who told me if you do the Adopt-A-Highway, you're, like, responsible for that? Not me. That can't be true. Yeah, you're, like, you have to, I think. I think you sponsor it, so I'm sure they're, like, looking for, like, you need to contribute to some, in some capacity, but, like, I don't think if you adopt it, you owe them, like, you're responsible for everything. No, I meant, like, to keep it clean or something. Then why would I ever adopt a highway? Why would I ever be, like, yeah, sure, let me take this part of the highway. I don't know. I remember, like, hearing something about the Adopt-A-Highway, and I was, like, that is a significant catch. Also, I've spoken. I've spoken openly about this. Having roads or bridges or tunnels named after me, I would never want, because then people hate you and curse your name without even knowing it's you. Like, yes, people love George Washington, but how many people have cursed him because of the bridge? I'm not cursing him. I think the bridge should go down. Yeah, but you should be, like, fuck the George Washington. You're right, which is. Which part? About the, if you adopt a highway through a volunteer program, you're responsible for agreed-upon maintenance, such as litter cleanup and sometimes landscaping. Yeah, see? Then why ever adopt a highway? I have no idea. Never in a million years will I ever do that, no. I have no idea, like, what the point of that is, to be honest. The big infrastructure stuff, the government will still do, but for the little things, yeah, you are responsible. Yo, we should, we should see if they'll name 48th Street Park after us. It's named after someone. Yeah, it's like Paul Raymonda or some shit. Who the fuck is that idiot? I couldn't tell you. Exactly. But it sounds like he's making a donation every year to keep it clean. No, he's probably long dead. I mean, I wouldn't know. It would still be in a foundation. It wasn't Paul Raymonda when we were younger. I know, it was just the park, and then it was Paul Raymonda, so what if it was, it's the Joe and Frank Park. How much are you willing to put up for that? Nothing. They should just give it to us. Right. You would need last night. That's the issue. They should just give it to us because it's what I am deserved, which, like, that white woman would deserve, that baseball. Exactly. That's how you tie it back in. Full circle. Versus full circle. Yeah, getting a plaque at a park, that would be nice. Maybe if you make a big enough donation, they'll put a plaque. You either need to be really, like, give a lot of money or die. In order to be named after a park? Yeah. Yeah? I imagine, look, look it up in New York, in New York City, how to get a park named after you. This might be a cool thing to do. The Joe and Frank, the Joe, the Joe Santagato Frank Alvarez Park of Fun. No, not good. We're going to work on the name, and also. I think Park of, or Fun Park. Right. You putting up zero dollars is, like, a little blemish on this idea that you have. I feel like you and I can both put up zero dollars, though, and we can get it done. For what? And then what? So we're putting our names on the park and not doing anything? Yeah. Not our job. You have to donate money or the land. All right, how much money? I have to donate the land. Like, if you own the land, you could subsidize a substantial piece of land. How much to get a plaque at this park? How much to get? I'm just thinking, like, we could, say it's a couple hundred bucks, I'm doing it. It's 100% not a couple hundred bucks. Why not? Because everyone would do it. But you. You need to be someone. They need to accept your 100 dollars. I don't think that's true. People are going to want. It's a donation. They'd be like, oh my god, like, this was their park. And people would go and they'd be like, look, this is their park. It's tough to find an exact number. Yeah. But for a plaque on a park bench, $10,000. $10,000. Park bench? Why? So some fucking kids can come and drink 40s on me? No thanks. Actually, it sounds pretty cool. What would you like? Where do you want it to be? On the entrance of the park. Let's see. Frank Alvarez Park. Frank Alvarez Joe Santagato Park of Fun. Right. You know? This is where they go. Subtext. Subtext. They didn't contribute, but they contributed with the amount of fun they had at this park during their life. That is some delusion you're living in right now. I don't think it's a delusion. I think that it's something that I thought of, and now I want it. You're in it for recognition. And they owe it to me. Right. I've thought of it, so now it's owed to me. You're in it for the recognition, but you would like the park to not. I would like to do no work, have no responsibility, and be given exactly what I'm asking for. Got it. I don't think that's a big ask. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking here. To get a bench or a tree named after you, it's in between $5,000 and $10,000, or sometimes more. So the whole entire park, I can't imagine it's quite a bit. I mean, but this is a small park in Astoria. If you could rename that park. The Joe Santagato and Frank Alvarez Park of Fun. And that costs $10,000. Would you put $5,000 towards that? I think there is. That's a yes or no. I think. Sure. Can I get my name on there? You know what? It's never going to happen, so sure. Yeah, I would. I mean, maybe. He said. My name on there? No. Sorry. We grew up going to this park. You were never at that park with us. Then I'll pay $5,001. Get your name off it. Wow. Could happen. You're a little snake. You're a slimy snake today. You want to play that game? Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Play that game with Joey. Go ahead. I got my. Look who I got in my corner, bitch. $5,001. Yeah. That's the problem. Just do me a favor. Just do me a favor. If they ever offer to name that park after you, just be like, it's us. Who? The park department? The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. They're not going to come to me and say, hey, man. How do you know, dude? We have fans everywhere. We're very kind and lucky. But, like, what if they did? No. Very kind. I'd rather be named 48th Street Park and not Paul Raymundo, whoever that is. He's probably a nice gentleman. Who donated a bunch of money. But, regardless. I mean, he probably donated the money in the 70s, so he paid, like, $40 to get his name on the flag. Fucking way to go. It's not tent racks anymore, Paul. Come on, Paul. Give us the park. Give us the park. What? Huh? Give us the park, Paul. Yeah. All right. Well, there you have it, folks. That's all we have for this week's episode. Frank, where can they find you? All over the socials.
