The host reflects on how emotionally moving internet content—particularly "hope core" videos about pets, children, and moments of simple human connection—deeply resonates with them, often evoking tears and profound feelings of empathy. These moments highlight the internet’s potential as a space for community, kindness, and shared joy. In contrast, the host critiques the overwhelming negativity and digital overload in online spaces, advocating for a return to low-effort, joyful, and unstructured activities like barefoot walking, jumping in puddles, or playing in the dirt. These actions are seen as essential for emotional balance and reconnection with nature and childhood wonder. The conversation culminates in a playful proposal for a "BY Joy Core" movement, emphasizing messy, spontaneous outdoor fun as a counter to digital anxiety. The host also touches on sponsorships for home security and website building, linking practical life choices to personal well-being. Ultimately, the message is that emotional health requires intentional release—through crying, laughter, or simple acts of play—especially in a world where digital life often feels emotionally drained. The core idea is that joy, wonder, and messiness are not just nice distractions; they are vital for mental and emotional resilience.
Welcome back to the basement yard. I was gonna, I'm starting to run out of ideas of what to do at the start of this. Should I just I feel like that's the what our show is. I mean people always ask like oh how do you guys prep. I'm like we definitely start to show without knowing where we're going to go. Yeah I mean I think like you need to just like get the jitters out. You need to get the jitters. I don't know if the jitters are what I'm getting now. You're going to say jizz. I'm like you're going to start you're going to get the jizz out. What would you do if you got the jizz out? If like I like legit was now I can't even I can't even say that I wouldn't do that. Do what? Jerk off right now on the show. Like why are you crying? What are you doing? My dog's here. He's already causing a speech. Oh look at here he goes. Beat me up. He's fucking little rat. Come up here buddy. He's crying because he was this. Say something to say go. Okay what if he just started talking. That would be pretty cool right there. That would be pretty cool. No that would be pretty cool. What would be the first question you'd ask him? Do you love me? 1000%. Obviously yeah you're honestly okay so it's funny that this actually happened just now because this is a real thing I wanted to talk about. Yesterday I cried for the first time in a while. So hard sobbing tears coming down my face because I saw a video of something with a dog. You got to stop with these dog videos. I'm going to make a video. You need to go see the horror movie. What I need is like I don't even know. I need to I need to find a medicine that will make this thing live forever because I'm not going to be the same this thing. He doesn't even view it as a person. I definitely do. So this is the thing that made me cry. I saw this video yesterday and it's a video of this couple and their dog and they're sitting on a bench and there's a sign next to them and it says it's our dogs last day. Give us some advice and him a treat. We brought lots and it's like the sad music and they're sitting there and the dog is like whatever and then people are coming over and sitting with them and like they have other dogs that come and they're just like hanging out and I'm like oh and then at the end of it it's like the dog they killed I mean they I don't say they killed the dog they had to put the dog down right and I'm like oh my god and I just started like welling up. I'm like this is so fucked up and so sad. The next video that I swipe to and I I'm going to try and get through this without crying again because every time I read it it fucking kills me. I mean we'd probably do pretty good if you started crying on the show Joey. This says to all other. I can't even fuck every thing on it. All right like you want me to read it? It says to all the other doggies in heaven please be kind to my baby Jesus Christ and it's a little dog and it says he doesn't like being away from his mom and is scared of other dogs. So then he should probably not go to doggy heaven he should go to like regular heaven. Don't oh that would be nice and then the comments are pictures of other people putting pictures of their dog and this one it's this one is another dog and it says my girl arrived on Wednesday she loved little dogs she's got him and I was like fuck that bitch bro like she knows I'm reading Charlie is her name and then this one my big boy's got him he always looked after his little pug bro if you grow in the comments it's all oh that's sweet it's a sense of community see that's what social media and the internet should be is like a big hug instead it's a big I agree it's a big this bro the thing that's the internet what the thing that made me like start crying or whatever in this first video is like look at this these are random people coming and they're like sitting down and with their dogs like this is so sweet that's acts of kind I'm gonna tell you this what is it called on tiktok I think it's called like hope core it's like hope core videos yes hope core videos get me every single time fucking and they have that same song over it that gets me every time when I made it's called the thousand years oh you know what else I saw because I was also that was like hope core all this whole shit all core it was just all videos that were gonna make me cry I saw a video and it was a guy and he's doing something with his daughter they're like mixing something like they're about to bake or some shit and then the girl out of nowhere just goes daddy you're my best friend yeah and the dad's like those fuck me up and I was like I'm not gonna survive children at all dude you are not you are not I was putting ruby to sleep yesterday oh god and it's first of all the little parts of life are the most beautiful with kids because like you don't realize like you were like oh I love yeah but then you hear it from them like unprompted you'd be like oh do you love daddy yes I love daddy oh that's nice that means something but also I ask you like give it to me yeah real I'm putting her to sleep and she's like can you scratch my back and sing me a song of course absolutely my god this is your daughter you ask me to of course I do whatever yeah and then she and I go all right you know I say my my my my like bedtime words to her and whatever and she goes no please stay for 20-50 minutes that's what she thinks of like when she thinks of things in like big numbers terms she goes 2050 and I'm like you want me to stay and she goes yeah and I go why and she goes well it's because I love you so much yeah I'm sleeping in the room I'm not kidding I would have stayed there until now the year 25 the year 2050 yeah that's not that long that's only 27 years Joey it's a long time I definitely didn't add right it's 25 bad man but like dude hope core hope core because like need more of that that's what the internet should be it should be the community said because the internet here we go negative you ready it's negative you ready fucking internet the internet has just become just a fucking dirty diaper of a place a dirty diaper like you you see that you know it's there and you see that it's a diaper and then you're like oh it's sagging I know what's making it sag shouldn't piss yeah I think we're focusing on the diaper too much I feel like you have like you do you deal did you deal with a big dirty diaper today or so every day every day every day every day every day there's a blowout bastard's up to blow out up the punch is saying like the internet was supposed to be a communal place that is representative I genuinely believe genuinely believe that normal people within our society are kind-hearted most people yeah are kind-hearted are vying and looking for a sense of belonging and acceptance and community so when the internet does that why did I go with manoscalk yeah I don't know what the internet does the day is you hear what I'm saying I follow some pages that do that I get so fucking frothed up dude there's one page that's a crazy way to describe we're back to comment yeah I guess there's one page that does the whole like this streamer had no views yeah and they're like I donated a dollar and then they were like oh thank you so much and then they get thousands of views I fucking love it yeah yeah I love that shit so how long did you cry a good 15 that's it that's it well I was going through like I'm talking about a real 15 by the way I was laughing because I'm like I'm crazy I'm crazy I'm not and I liked it because I hadn't cried in a while so I was like yeah no I Frank I was bursting out laughing like laughing crying laughing my ass off and crying like you fucking bitch no no no close videotaping me like I'm a fucking psychopath like and I'm like yeah it's great I've been she was crying like anyone who's watching those kinds of things you're gonna cry well I think it's also good to reset your emotional balance you gotta get it out and as it was coming at like as I was crying because then I was crying and I like that's what made made it so funny to me because I'm crying and then I can still feel that I have still I still have more crying I cry in your throat you love feeling cry in my throat yeah like you know when you start crying you're like I got more because it's all packed in right here and you feel it you're like there it is it's right there I could if I like shoved my fingers down my throat I touched the cry exactly because it's so palpable I want to just just scream I just want to go oh well a good and cry a good cry scales okay the scales of our emotions every now and then you need to reset them you need to rebalance recalibrate your emotional stability just gotta let it out so it's good to find a little hope and love and joy on the internet because you don't know where to bro you don't know you got to find it sometimes it's interesting and I know this is probably very obvious but I'm going to say it anyway happiness is interesting no I was going to say that when you especially like a day like today it's a fall day nice and breezy it's kind of cool the sun is out there's some clouds in the sky it looks like the toy story fucking bedroom or whatever the fuck and you're walking around and you're like this is better than anything but we spend our time online and online a lot of it is just negative and it's like go if we just and I know a lot of people say it is like a diss it's like you'll go touch grass but you'll really think about that dude I am not kidding it's nice to be outside I spent the last two days just kind of getting stuff done around the house not on my phone and at one point I just sat in the yard yeah and I just sat there and I looked up at the sky and I saw the moon and I was like one's the last time I did this you know my sister
Mr. said to me this morning because I went to my mom's and she said that she's like the other day I just laid on the grass and just like was just watching. Yo, yo, one of my favorite things, Becca taught me this. One of my favorite things, she saw study once and it makes sense. She's like, there is a, whether it be correlation or what, but a link between like a feeling of serotonin. Like not serotonin. No serotonin. Don't put me in a way. Don't put me in whatever. And getting your hands dirty. Like in the grass, like planted. Or in meatballs. Like meatballs. Oh, my God. A swish in meatballs. But I fucking grab ground beef and I see your hand through its fingers. Yes, I'm pooping through your fingers. There's nothing better than that. Dude. There's nothing better. There's no nice. Just get none of the meatballs in your head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what you need to do soon? You know what I do with the kids every now and then? Like meatballs. We get, we get, we cook down, we cook fresh tomatoes, put them in a bowl, swish in, swish in, swish in, swish in, swish in. You know what I like? Avocado. But I don't like to.

You know what I mean? Oh, you like to ground like that. Yeah. Who's that guy? He's like a, he does like the meat. He's a meat guy on, I want to keep it back up, back up. What site? He's a, on TikTok. But he like, he grabs up, I'm going to use this happy Thursday here. He like grabs the pepper mill and he like spins it in his fingers and then he just fucking catches it. Hey, crank that shit. Oh, is that the guy who's like, oh, he's got a toothpick in his mouth? He's got, and he's just like, today we're making the wagoo of every bird. Wait, does he talk? Yeah. Well, how else would he? Well, I think there's a guy that I've seen on TikTok and he like always has a tank top in a, in a tooth thing. No, no, no, no. It's another guy. He's got, this guy's got meat. He's got meat. He's got meat. They all got him. They all got him. But like, he's like, today we're cooking the wagoo of every, of like like three different types of brisket. And it's like cheap, middle, a five. Yeah, yeah. And he fucking spins it and he's just like, oh, listen, I'm going to help you. I'm going to, this is what Dr. Frankie's got to order for you. I got a prescription for you, okay? RX, more of what I'm going to give you. Don't. Go home tonight. Whoever's watching this, today, tonight, or in the next couple days when you have the availability. Stay home. Put music on. And cook a meal that requires you to get your hands over. Fresh pasta. Let's make this easier. Fresh sauce. Get your hands in a bowl of meat. And just get it a little worse, even better. Go collect dirt. Put your hands in the dirt. I don't mind. A bowl of dirt. I don't mind. And put a little water in there and just mix around. You know what I don't mind? A worm. I don't mind a worm. You like worms? If I'm touching the earth, I don't like it. What else? What else are you getting at? I don't know. I had like a bag of like miracle growing, there's like a worm in there. What the fuck are you doing here? But if I'm in the earth, I'm touching the earth. I don't mind a worm. Or a roly poly. I love a roly poly. I used to kill them, but I don't do anymore. Good for you. But I used to be like. I just think like there is. I know we're saying the most obvious thing in the world. That's what I was going to say. We're trying to like hijack it. It's like it's our idea now. No, I know. And I was like, that's how you know we're fucked. Because I'm over here being like, oh, it's so nice to go outside. That's how fucked we are. Think about in 10 years. What I just said will probably be like profound. I can almost end up saying go outside. It will not be profound. I can almost guarantee that. I just think like there is an listen. This is coming from a person that like loves to unwind. What playing video games and like just kind of like puzzle. Becky and I started a puzzle recently. What kind of puzzle? It's like a 2000 piece puzzle. Oh, jig. Yeah. What other puzzles are there? 3D. What is that? What's a 3D puzzle? Like you build it up. I haven't even heard of that. Really? They're really hard. I don't know. Like a puzzle I figured it could be like. I don't see. I don't know. Look what do you think I'm doing? But a puzzle is kind of like a general-- No, but like it's so-- Wait, wait, wait. I had to set up like a table in my room. That's so worse. I know, I know. It sucks. But like just like something where you can just kind of like aimlessly do nothing. And tap out. And tap out. And like if you want to go outside and you want to just walk in the park, collect a pine cone. Go find a pine cone. Go find a pine cone. Can you eat pine cones? I don't know. 8 coins you can. But you got to boil the tannic acids out. The tannins. Oh. Okay. Yeah. But-- Remember we used to decorate pine cones? We did. I did them with the kids the other day. We got them the cane stones. They brought them home. They painted them. Paint them. Paint them. But like see, like this is, we are so inundated with just like entertainment. Your phone and over here and streaming and fucking Apple music. Just do something that is so low lift. Let the wind hit you. Let the wind hit your fucking ass, dude. Yo. What's the-- I'm not saying that. I'm being dead serious. I'm not up listen. Don't threaten indecent exposure. I'm not going to tell people to do that. But what was the last time the wind hit your ass, though? Recently. We got an outdoor shower. Yeah. You have an outdoor shower? Oh, yeah, babe. And you got out there and you dumped it? And I was in that shower. That's fine. Is it surrounded? Yeah, it is. Nice. Well, you step out. You got your-- I step out. I got my-- my towel on. Well, where are you guys? I thought you were going to be just like holding your shit. No, I step out. I got my towel on. And I just-- Yeah. The breeze. Yeah. Well, why did you use the shower outside? First fun is the outside. I got it. How the fuck do you mean? Just for fun? Because I like to see the sky when I wash my fucking balls. Wasn't that be nice, though? That would be nice, though. That was the last time you looked and saw the clouds while washing your cock. Do you have a window? No, I don't have a window. Oh, you say do have a window. You do have a window. How do you know if I have a window? I've been to your bathroom. While you're in it. And your shower. I'm showered in your bathroom. So I was like, I can get out of here. I've seen a cloud. It's nice. Do me a favor. I like an outdoor shower. You know what I would do if I was you? Don't point. If it rained, I would go into my backyard and roll around in the mud like a pig. Listen. It poured. It poured yesterday. Guess what we said to the kids? Go play it up. I'm off door open. Get the fuck back there. Yeah. And Maven Ruby were sitting there walking back and forth. Just singing? I love being in the rain. I love the rain. Dude. I love being in the rain because because a lot of R&B music videos I've watched. You best believe any time I get in the rain, I find a puddle and I kick like Usher. I like to be out in the rain because it just, it makes me feel like Usher. It makes me feel like the song on written. Release your inhibition. I'm like, I'm just out here and I don't even care. I'm so wet. You know what I'm going to do with my blood. You know what? I'm taking this. We're taking with the basement yard is starting a fucking movement. We're taking back the world. No, we're not. No, we're not doing it. We already know. What we're saying is obvious. Just make a mess. Go somewhere and just make a fucking mess. That's what I'm talking about. This is what we're calling this all. We're saying make meatballs. Yeah. Make a mess. You need to make a mess. Or now that the fall is coming. Make a messy giant thing of leaves and jump in it. A messy fall. You have to coin everything. We're not going in this. Well, we did it. You make a giant triangle of leaves and you jump in it and you get a couple ants on you. You get a couple bug bites. Whatever. Listen. You know how I feel about leaves about life. I hold on to a child like imagine. A child like imagination, sense of wonder, playfulness. You know that. You know that about me. And I'm not just talking to megazords. I'm talking just like in the way I go about. I like pranking people. Making hodys. Yeah. It's fun for me. Yeah. Let's bring that back. Let's reestablish. Let's reestablish a sense of just joy and wonder. Hope core. Frank, we're going to call-- You're proposing a conversation that we are 18 minutes into. Yeah. We're already deep in the pool, baby. I know. But like I'm establishing. We're gathering up. The basement you are. Are fans. And our supporters are so fucking incredibly supportive and they get behind us with the movement. Get behind us with this movement. It's going to be called the BY Joy Core. You know what I think about? You know that scene in what's it called? Fucking Shawshank Redemption. Where he's outside and he just escaped prison and it's raining. No, I got a better scene. What is it? If it's a fucking Marvel movie. No, you're going to like this one. The remake of the longest yard where they're practicing and-- Oh! And they're just having fun. And it's CCR playing. Have one of new. Have you ever seen Lorraine? And they're like boom, boom, boom. Grown men playing in a puddle. What's better than that? That's weird coming out of my mouth. No, no, no, no. But you get what I mean. They could play in puddles. But when they make puddles, that's when it's a problem. Now I'm confused. The kids come.
(laughing) - Yeah, no, that's great. - Oh my God, I wanna go jump in a puddle right now. - Listen. - I saw a dog yesterday, I went for a walk and there was a dog walking over it and there was a puddle 'cause it rained. And he was drinking out of the puddle. - And you liked that filthy little fucker. - And I was like, that's disgusting. - That's a filthy fucker. - I think it's it, yeah. - Yeah. - I kinda like when dogs don't listen and they just jump into mud and shit and the owners are like, hey, hey, hey. - But Joey, in their nature. - Are you gonna explain the nature of a dog to me now? - I'm gonna be like, in there, like this happens with kids all the time when the kids see a puddle. - They wanna jump in it. - Oh, because there's a beauty in that you see water and it's just like, you just wanna jump in a puddle. Watch your fucking splash out. - You preach into the choir. - Dude. - Messy fall. That's all I'm saying. I know you've gotten on me for having a coin turn. - I'm not saying messy fall. I'm saying just in general, I think for all of the seasons, like even in the winter, even in the sun, in the spring. - Yeah, but the sun is tough, the sun is tough. - No. - Sun is tough. - 'Cause you know, get out there and slip in slide. You can't get messy in the winter because the ground is fucking rock solid. - Dude, it's talking, it's making snow angels. - Yeah, but you don't get messy. - You don't get messy. - It still counts. You get snow everywhere. - Yeah, but I don't consider snow everywhere to be a mess 'cause it cleans itself. - It's a metaphor. I don't know if it's a metaphor. - I don't think so, but I like it. - But you know what I mean. - Oh, well, see, you see what happens? You're rebalancing your emotional well-being. - Crying? - Crying, brought out what is going to be the movement that sweeps the nation. We are gonna be at the forefront. - We are gonna be at the forefront of it. - Wait, are it? - We're not gonna be at the forefront. It's very nice. I like, I definitely want to jump in a puddle at some point this year. That's going on my bucket list. - I don't like how it ruins my shoes. - What? - Water, rain? - Like jumping to a puddle and rain. - Let me tell you something. - But like you don't need something. - I won't ruin 'em. - Guess what? - Throw 'em in the dry. - Or, guess what, brother? Rough, rough. Let the fucking doggies out. - I'm talking Baja, man. - I don't agree. - We let the dogs out. - You should. - I don't agree 'cause I think there's something fun about letting your shoes just get wet. - Let me ask you a serious question. - Me? - You guys spent a lot of time outdoors in the summer. - Yeah. - You live in New York City, so there's not many times that you get to do this. When's the last time you were on grass, good grass, barefoot? - I do that a lot when I go to my mom's. She has a little bit of grass. - Just go and let the doggies bark on the lawn. - Are you one of those people that don't let, like they don't like their feet out? - I'll have my feet out, but I don't want to like ruin my shoes. - Leave your shoes inside. (laughing) This is not that complicated. - You're saying jump into mud and puddles and-- - Okay, but do it barefoot with mud and puddles. - Well, you have shoes, certain shoes that are like, "Oh, these are beat up so I can just wear them wherever." - These are my puddle jumping shoes? - I mean, they could be-- - That's literally called galoshes. You can literally buy galoshes. - Galosh, I thought that was a soup. - Yeah, gulosh. - No, that's gulosh, galoshes. - What's the Russian prison? - Gulog. - We're getting close now. - Okay. - A galosh, galoshes are-- - Wait, now you said gulosh again. - You said gulosh. - Galoshes. That's multiple guloshes. - No, that's gulosh. - Gulosh. - So what's gulosh plural? - If you four seconds of your time, I'll get there. - He said it. - I think you're saying it. - Say it again. - Galoshes. - That was better, I think. - Gulosh is soup. - Wait, now he said gulosh. Oh, okay. - It's a stew? Is it a stew or a stew? - Whatever, I don't know 'cause I've never had it because I'm not Russian. - First of all, I've had it. My mom made it. - And is-- - All right. - Yeah. - Thanks. (laughing) - It's got like meat and-- - Gulog. - Yeah. - Russian prison. - Call it duty, right? - Galoshes are rain boots. - Oh. - I don't know if I have a-- - You don't need 'em. - Yeah. - Don't put your dogs in the fucking, fucking earth. Release your little feet, ease, feel the grass in your toes. You can do it in your front yard. You can do it in your back yard. Cut me off. (laughing) - Come on. - Come on. - Cut me off. - Cut me off. - Cut me off, cut me off. - Cut my-- - This is where I need to step in. - And take over. - I mean, once you said something, I was like, oh, we're getting somewhere. I didn't know where I was gonna end. - It was going really good. And if you rhymed at the end, I feel like we would've gotten a plaza. - All right, all right. - Yeah, that fell off a cliff, I will say. - Let-- - Don't try, don't try in the yard. You're already burning and crashed. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - You can't drive a car crash. - You can drive a car crash if there's still a little bit of life left in it. - There is it. - And there is it. - There is it. - I'm just saying, just go and just step outside. I know you don't have grass. It's not that hard. - What? - That's what we'll grind with the yard. (laughing) - I'm so-- - What? - Let's-- - Let's write-- - Why are we hikhing up this song? - You know what? - You know what? - Let's, you and I, let's write the messy fall anthem. - Okay. - Natasha Bettingfield. This is getting out of it. - She will allow us-- - You know this is gonna happen. - She will allow us the creative freedom to write our own song, loosely based off of unwritten. But it's about walking barefoot on grass in the fall when the soft grass is out, still in the dirt is soft. - Yeah. - Okay. - We do have sponsors for this song today. - I wonder who one of them is. - Yeah, I wonder who it could be. We have Happy Thursday here, folks, okay? Happy Thursday, how you doing, right here, right on the desk. But they are bubble-free, so they're non-carbonated, spiked refreshers, and they taste amazing. Which one is this? This is strawberry. This one is delicious, actually. I've had that one, raspberry dragon fruit, and what's that one? - Pineapple star fruit. These are not, I mean, that is not a common flavor that you have anywhere, so they have that. They also have mango, passion fruit, two things that if I see them in a drink, I am getting it, okay? But they're smooth, they're easy, 4.4% alcohol, naturally flavored. And like I said, non-carbonated, so they taste really good and they go down easy. It's not gonna make you all bloated or whatever, you know what I mean? So no fuss, no fizz, delicious. So to find out more and to find a happy Thursday near you, visit drinkhappythursday.com/basement. That is drinkhappythursday.com/basement, okay? Celebrate responsibly, non-carbonated, naturally flavored with other natural flavors. 21+ contains alcohol, so yeah, can't have it unless you're 21+ because these are alcoholic, but they are delicious, non-carbonated, happy Thursdays, so enjoy that. And we also have better-help, better-help, this podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp, which is online therapy. You can get in contact with the therapist in just under 48 hours, so it's a quick turnaround. They make the onboarding process very easy. It's also very easy to switch from therapist to therapist until you find the right fit for you. Someone who meshes with you that you vibe with, that's a very important part of therapy, can be very awkward if you kind of feel like this person doesn't understand you, so it's very helpful, but yeah, there's a lot of people that signed up with BetterHelp that have reached out and said that it's helped them, and the biggest thing about it, in my opinion, is that they make it more affordable than in-person therapy, which is very expensive, even with the right insurance, but even a lot of therapists don't take insurances, so it's very expensive, but BetterHelp is more affordable, and you can save 10% off your first month at BetterHelp.com/Basemear, so that is BetterHelp spelled B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com/Basemear to get 10% off of that first month, so get to it folks.

We miss you. Yeah. All right, fellas. It's that time of the week again. Oh, Jacob. Uh, all right. Dude, that's awesome. Yeah, it's great. He's the one who always makes the, like, the singing one. Yeah. That's incredible. Yeah. He's a man. That sounds like, that sounds like something. Magic is what it sounds like. It does sound like magic. So does that mean I have a theme song? I guess technically we don't even have a question. I'm supposed to have a question. Yeah. Well, if we play it. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. If we play it question, you need to have that question. I'm kidding. I have it. So it's a little more of a scenario, but let's say this, you're in a pitch black field, 40 meters away from a gunman. Yeah. Can we go American feet 120, 120 feet away from a gunman and change and change. He can't see you. He can't hear you. And he's going to fire. It's got to be an American because he's got a gun. It's fair. Um, he can't see you and he's going to fire off one bullet at a time. You get a million dollars for each bullet. He shoots. How many? He's me and him out there. Just me and you. Can I lay down me and you? Oh, you're the gunman? I guess it's me. No. Yeah. Just lay down. You could only stand. You can't crouch or lay down. Oh, can I turn sideways? No, you got to face him. You got to face him head off. Okay. Fine. You got to be face to face. Yeah. Can I? I have to be within. I have to be exactly 120 feet away from him. You could get closer. You could get closer, but just not further. Why would I do that? Well, it depends where he's standing. Maybe I'll get behind him. You can't see him. I imagine it. You've got to set up within like 180 degrees straight line. I mean, I'm letting them fire off a couple. Really? Really? How much do you get per million? I'd let him shoot one. There's no. Do I have to stand in the exact same spot every single time? Let's say you can move around after each round or you can stay there. Oh. Am I also not able to hear? Because if he shoots in a direction, kind of big. I'm going to go stand over there now. You can. I mean, I don't think you're going to be able. It's 120 feet. Like a shot. It's going to sound like a shot. You're not going to hear it. Like whizz by and be like. Oh, it was over there. Yeah, that's fair. If you heard it whizz by, I think it's better to stay in that spot probably. Um, it would be hard to. Well, no, I think that the rule of like, if you, I mean, there's an unlimited amount, unlimited. There's an unlimited amount of. Why the face? You don't know that? Because I don't know if you said unlimited or unlimited, unlimited, unlimited. There's an unlimited amount of places that he could shoot. But in theory, on the second one, it would be minus one. So unlimited minus one. Well, he could still shoot in the same area. He could still shoot in the same area. Yeah. But you are banking on the possibility that like if I shoot here, my next shot will not be there again. It'll be anywhere else. Yeah. I mean, that's just so you know what I just said contributed nothing. Yeah, to any part of it. You like doing that. I think I was like, if I can't see, you look, I mean, it's pitch black. So you know, I think that if I survived one shot and I felt like that wasn't even near me, it would be hard not to let one more go. I'm not going over three shots. Well, a million dollars. That's right. Sure. You could. I get shot and survive. I get that mill. No, you get that mill. Oh, you do? Yeah, sure. And you could keep going. I guess if it's not fatal, if you really want, I don't want to imagine once you get shot once you're done. Yeah, I stop my toe and I'll be down. So I don't know. I'd probably let one go. I think I'll do the clip. I don't know if I know how far 120 feet is. Should we look it up like a range? No, no, no, I mean, I'm saying like right now, like how far is that wall? I would say that's maybe like 25 feet. Oh, really? Oh, that's far. You think that's 20. Oh, how wide we go. It's a field. Let's say it's a football field. He's in the center. Oh, football field. Let's say he's in the center. He's at half field. Why am I saying that? What midfield? Because I think that's, that's close to 100 to 120 each side, Brent. Football field is 120 yards. Yeah. So across. Well, if you include the end zones, no, no, no, he means. Oh, across like 52 yards. Yeah. Yeah. So he's got 26 yards on either side. Oh, God. I mean, that's pretty big, dude. Definitely let him shoot 120 feet. So what? That's what how many of 40? So he's on the 60 yard line. Regardless of. Yeah. We don't. It doesn't have to be on a football field. But like, yes, that range. I think I think I'm, I'd probably shoot twice. I'm like, okay, I'm getting out of here. Like two. I think I think he would also have to get me in the face for it to be alive. I've been like, then like other parts of your body that if he shoots you, that you will die instantly. Not if we have EMS on site. Nope. Get you. What's the stuff? You ever see movies where like they take like tampons? Oh, no, no, no, it's like a black powder and they shove it in there and they like kind of hold it in that. It's like, all right, get hold it. And I'm like, uh, what's the word that coagulates it? No, I don't know what movies you're watching. Do we have more movies? You tell me when they put gunpowder in it. Does that help? Quarter rises it. I know that's like with hot. Yeah, they light it on fire. Oh, they're doing. You're not supposed to do that though. Rambo did that once. Well, yeah, Rambo did it. It's got to work. It's got to work. I think because I'm not a gambling man, especially with my life. Right. I think I'm letting two shots off two million dollars gambling with your life. I know, but like that's like I would definitely do one. Yeah, I would definitely do one because it's just that's a million dollars. And the chances of me getting hit are so very slim, so slim. I think after two, I would be like, I already have two. Like I'm good. Like, I don't need more than that. I already know your answer. Yeah, he just said he's going to let the full clip go 16. 16. That's how much a handgun is six. I thought it was nine. We don't know guns. There you go. I thought a clip was 16. I mean, if you're doing like a fucking dirty Harry, it's like six shots. Yeah, I mean, I would, I would imagine we would go with standard like, it doesn't matter how many shots it is. They get a real load. No, no, yeah, but I'm just saying one. What about like a 75 mac. Magnum. Oh, that would do me. That'd be it. Yeah. Any of the bullets would be it. Yeah, but that's a big one. Yeah, three Joey. Just empty the clip on me. That's my answer on you. I think that's really yeah. Yeah, it's fine. It's a cool story, too. Like dude, he had he had nine bullets couldn't get me once. No, I said a cool story for the grave. No, the obit. No, if you can tell God, if I make it, no, he probably make fun of me. That's true. God. If I got up there, it's like, I mean, I'll be able to say there might be some other reasons you might not even get to talk to the the corporeal form. Wow. It could be true. I'm right there with you, but I'll be up there. You think so? Heaven. Yeah. Bro, you went to church until eighth grade. He knows me. So did I. Yeah, Joey. There's things that happened while you were going to church that I think would have disqualified you. What did I do? There were things that you did that I'm going to hell. Yeah, you're talking about like premarital. Sure. That's why I have sex before eighth grade. I didn't say then. He knows that I'm he knows that I'm doing it. I'm saying now. Yeah. You're doing sex, dude. Yeah. That's bad. You've done sex before. He forgives that world. I mean, you have to apologize. Sure. I'll say, Hey, Mary. Probably two. Did you do your confession or not confession? What's that called? Confirmation? Yeah. Confirmation. What's your confirmation name? James. And did you, like, when you, you know, you go, uh, I don't know if that's communion or confirmation where you have to go. And then it's like, you do confession and they, they gave you homework and they're like, say 10 Hail Mary's or something like that. That's confession. Yeah. I know. But I don't know which one that is a part of it. Have you done that? Yeah. And what did they, do you know, do you remember how many prayers you had to do? I think I did two, two all fathers and one Hail Mary, which is such a funny thing. There was one. It's called the act of contrition. No one knows it. It's a long one. And I don't know it. It's not one of the popular ones. You know the our father probably our father, who we, we've established that. That's not who does art in heaven. Halloween be thy name. You know, that's not a day. That would be thy name. My kingdom come. It's thy kingdom come. Thy kingdom come because you don't have a kingdom. I mean, technically, you have a house. I have a home and a family. That's my kingdom. Okay. Okay. So my kingdom come. My will, thy will be done. I will be done. Yeah. On earth as it is in heaven. Yep. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us. Yep.
- Yeah, and deliver us to temptation, but not from evil or something like that? - Why would we go to temptation? - Or do removies from temptation. - Deliver us from temptation. - Wait, what is it? - No, you got me. - I honestly, I'm shocked I got here. The only reason why you know this is probably 'cause you were in my house, right? - No, you guys weren't doing a lot of Hail Mary. The only reason I know Catholic Grace is because of you. - Well, yeah, yeah. - But how do you know our father then? - I went to Sunday school for a couple years. - Did you? - Yeah. - Not many. - Were we in the same class? - Yeah, we had to. - Yeah, really? - You did not many. - I don't remember that. - You were the poster boy dude at Sunday school. - No, my Sunday school teacher, hey. - No, they love you. - She heard me say, "Fuck at Alex's house." - Well, she was upset with you, but you apologized. I didn't, why would I apologize? - You apologized? - Well, I didn't even know that she was talking about me. I got the class and she was like, "Some people in here have a party mouth." - Yeah, Joey, people love, you were the poster child for a Sunday school. - Frank, you weren't even there. - I was there for like two or three years. - I hate it. - Four or three years. - I'm just letting you know, listen, church. - No, you're listening. - Now you're speaking directly to the church. - I'm speaking directly to the church. - The Catholic church. - Oh, any church. - Oh. - No, actually it's the Catholic one. I was speaking to it. I should probably not talk to them. - You're gonna talk to all the other churches? I probably shouldn't. - Why shouldn't you talk to them? - Well, it's, I just, I'm not qualified. I don't wanna, I don't wanna, - You're not qualified to talk to the church. - I don't wanna insult anybody. - It feels like you're about to. - Please, please, please stop, please. - No. School on a Sunday morning is nuts. - Well, the idea. - I understand it's the Lord's Day. I understand. - But everyone's getting on a church anyway. - I understand who the Lord's Day, you gotta understand. You gotta know that that's like you're sitting, you're sitting yourself up for failure. - Well, Sunday, 8 a.m. Be there. - What time was Sunday school? - It was like 10 to like 12. - Yeah, yeah. But I would much rather be in Sunday school than church back then. I was like, church sucks. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. - Why were we talking to that? - I don't know, we're on catacombs. - Oh, how did we get to Catholicism from an shooting a gun into a room at us? - It was something about God. You were meeting your maker and stuff like that. - Oh yeah, no, I wouldn't be or something. But you would let us in. You would give us, you would give us, put a good word in for it. - Oh, you'd be like, you'd be like the promoters at like the team clubs. - I would be like, go, he's with me. He's with me. - Say my promo code at the door. - Say my promo code Joe Spotlight. Joe Spotlight, this spotlight entertainment Joe. - Yeah. I would probably let off two shots. Get that two million that I'm out of there. - Yeah, I think. - We should film this video though, with like a paintball gun. - Oh, okay. - I was gonna say, uh. - Well, none of us have a gun. But I think we should film that video. I think that'd be cool. - What would we use? - I haven't been shot with a paintball gun in a while. - A BB gun. - A BB gun? - A BB gun. - I haven't even like seen a BB gun. - And since like 2000. - I've seen BB guns. - So where? - We would all be in a pitch black. - Well, as long as you get, you know, we should get. - We should get the Orbeez guns. - What is that? - Oh, I know what Orbeez are, but like. - They're, they look like. - But they hurt. - Guns. - But to hurt. - You want it to hurt? - Yeah. - Oh, all right. I guess we'll do paintball. - This is scary. - This is scary. - Some fear. - Yeah. - You need some fear. - You're gonna wear a helmet, a face mask and shit. - Yeah. - And cover your little polynos. - Don't talk about my polynos. - Okay. - What is the, but if it's a, see, here's the thing. If it's a real gun, that's different than a paintball gun. - Well, if it's a paintball gun, you can shoot me in the fucking face. - Yeah, okay, so we'll do. Each shot is $100, like, whatever. - But even that room, brother. - Okay, but if you, if you get shot, like if you were like, oh, like you, three shots, and now you're like, I have 300 bucks, like I'm chilling. But if you eventually get shot before you cash out, then you owe the gunman that money. - Oh, so wait a minute, hold on, hold on, hold on. So let's say I get, I'm in the room and someone lets off six shots, 600 bucks. On the seventh shot, if I get hit, I owe them 700 bucks. - Yeah. - I'm not doing that. - Well, this is the dilemma. - Ever, like nothing? - You were about to sacrifice your life for two shots. - Two billion dollars. - Yeah, I guess so. But I don't want to pay someone. - Pay me. - Yeah, I mean, that's why you got to be strategic. - I'll get a thousand, get out of there. How do I tap out, just tap out. - Tap out, tap out, tap out, tap out. - If it's a people, if it's a people's, I'm staying in that room for a while. - Who's shooting? - I think if you get shot in the face, that's double. - Who's shooting? - I think that whoever wants to shoot. - I'm a good shot. Although I'll be blindfolded if it doesn't matter. - I don't know, I don't know. - I'll do it. - You do what? - Whichever. - I think we should do this video. I think that would be cool. Okay, we can set it up. - Yeah. - This is gonna be hysterical because who are you gonna get in that room? - We should just do a metal baby. - I feel like that's worse. - Yeah, exactly. - You gotta be careful with metal baby. - You're into BDS, you gotta march and shoot. - I'm not saying, I want to be a little massive, I want to be here. - He wants to be here. - He has to turn it up. - Yeah. - How about we chain up our wrists and then slap some duck tape on our tits? - What if we use an actual gun? - Yeah. - That's what I can see, Sam. - No, that's too much. - What if you would throw a list? - That's what you would say. - Yeah. And then you would say, like, the loser has to eat this fire cheese ball. Or we'd tape those squeaky chickens to your feet. And you have to run around. - That'd be funny. - Oh no. - So they're gonna get there. - So they have to hold it in their mouth. They have to hold it in their house, or if they get hit, it's your. (screaming) - I meant more as a worst. (laughing) - I'm not kidding. - I'm not kidding. - What the heck? - That's the worst contribution I've ever had to the show ever. - Are you talking about like the. - Like the horrible chicken? - The yellow chicken? - Yeah. If you tape them to your feet and when they run around, the gunmen can hear them and then they stop. It's like, why would you run? - Yeah, why would you move it all? - Let's say you have to move every time. - No, that would make it too easy for the gunmen. - Too easy, it's blindfolded. - Yeah. - But if you hear a general direction of where they are, - But there's six of them. - Then you just. - Six one, what? - Someone's getting hit. - There's six of us in there. - Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm not doing this. I'm fine. We'll workshop it, but we'll do it. - I think, figure it out. - Realistically, if we were to do something like that, like a paintball in a room or something like that, 10 shots. - That's what you said, 1,000. - I think I'm sticking around for 10. - Am I gonna clap though? - Eh, yeah. - Where does the money come from? Also the gunmen? - Yeah. - Oh, maybe Joe just shoots. - Maybe I just shoot? - Yeah. - Yeah, but I might get paid that way. - Oh, I have to pay the people, like if I'm the gunman, like it's like I owe you, if they get out, yeah? - Oh, then why? - I mean, you don't have to be the gunman. - He's setting himself up to be the gunman. - We just pay him. - We just pay him. - He just wants to shoot us. - No, I just take it off. - Yes. - What's up? - What's up? - I said he went paintball. Like right after high school. And it was a lot of fun. I love paintball so much. - I like it too. Didn't we just have the conversation about me mum? - Oh, we were in like somewhere talking about it. They're like, there's just a place out in Long Island that has like a fucking plane. - Yeah, that's just sick. - Yeah, that would be fucking dope. - That would be really, really cool. - I was really good at paintball. Here we go. - I'm serious, I was really, really good. There was that paintball place in Long Island city, the indoor one, the speedball one. - Yeah. - And like I would go often with my brothers. And like, 'cause it was like, if you only showed up with like two or three kids, they'd just put you with another party. And we got put with a group of like semi pro players. - And then you killed all of them, and then you went to the White House, and you just stayed built up monument of you in front of the whole thing and put your picture on the wall. And you were only eight years old, and everyone else was like 32. Paintball legend was said way. - You see what I got to put up with? You see, I can't even tell a story without him fucking jumping down my throat. - I used to go to the big game, they called it. And it was at Deer Park, and there was helicopters and tanks. And it was like a hundred V100. - The big game. - You wanna hear a story? - Oh, this is a good one. - Okay. We went once at the lake. We went, we did like the kids versus the parents. We were like 12 at the time. And it was like me, my brothers, the Espos, Pat, and we played like six, so it was literally like, I think it was like eight on seven or something like that. But like, there were two girls at the lake. I don't wanna say who they are, 'cause I don't wanna give them away. Like, you know who they are, okay? I'm an Irish family. - I, yep. - Yep. - I couldn't stand them at the time. Irish people playing Painful is a dangerous game 'cause they bruised like peaches. Dude, I couldn't stand them at the time. Not both of them, one of them I couldn't stand at the time, 'cause she was just annoying and mean and rude. So I said that day, I was a 12 year old. I said I was like, yo, if this person is on the other team, like, I'm going to shoot them. Like, I'm going to, like, I'm going to get them. Well, that's the, I know, but like, it was like, I'm going to go out of my way to find this person. And I didn't. And we played like five games and on the last game, they were just like, all right, how many ball, you guys have like 20 minutes left to just play until you're done. But if you run out of bullets, put your hands in the air with your gun and just say I'm out and let them walk across. - Feel like I know where this is going. I'm behind a fucking log or a bunker or something.
And I see them walk and buy with it was the two of them and then one of our friends moms and I see them walk and buy and I look at my buddy Brian and I go Now or never And I fucking Where they out of yeah I was but shot an innocent civilian Tactically that's what's happened. This person's dad was on the other team also and found out He ran up to me. Yep. He got as close as you could get and he shot me right on the inner thigh Hell yeah Like I I don't bruise or wealth very easily That was like the worst of the worst that I've ever gotten in my entire it just missed my bollino. Did he say something cool? Fuck you probably, you know, I'm back Something like that big mistake. Yeah, yeah, you're toast. You're toast. You're toast is a good one. That's a year's daddy Right now feels like a different kind of video Here's daddy. Here's this wealth on your thigh. Jesus take it easy. You did that.

So enjoy that folks all right and before we end here I do want to talk about something You actually brought up before this and that is that there's been stories that people They've found that there's like alien DNA and people that have claimed to be abducted Does that I mean and this is like we've heard the stories that people get abducted and then they get probed and You know for whatever reason we don't know if it's for sport or if it's for research purposes. I have no idea I mean, but that's a common thing It's like one of the well-known things about like alien abductions is like they're probing yeah Which those you guys I don't know what that is it most of the time it's sticking things, but yeah, yeah, yeah, but finding DNA What is that I mean that's good? I know There's traces of what is that you how do you know it's alien DNA? I guess it's like I guess it's just like they can't they can't tell I'm I mean DNA is You can tell if it's like from a an animal a human or something So like if they're just like what is this DNA this person was abducted? The animal The alien is it feels like something happens seems like something is going on I mean we actually spoke to someone on OPL that claim to have been abducted and The way that they talked about it. I found to be a little fascinating actually because it's They were like it feels so real to me, but in a logical mind you're kind of like that couldn't have happened But it feels so real to them. I here's a thing I have had not recently, but like in my lifetime I have had dreams where I've been like whoa like that felt real, but when you wake up you're like that was a dream Or or was it you know like I've had that happen. I have yeah I've had that happen and like you're still unsure. I mean no, I know it was a dream now But like what depended for the hindsight now like of course there wasn't a face in my wall looking at me and laughing while Spitting a blue ooze, but like that was it. Yeah, man that that episode of are you afraid of the dark fucked me up? You were a child. I was a child. Yeah What I'm saying though is that like it takes me a couple minutes, but like I could imagine that there are people that have had dreams That have been so intense to the point where it's like they can't make the distinction whatsoever Yeah, I mean that happens to me sometimes but I think that's just me being like paranoid like sometimes I'll have a dream Of like this is a stupid example. I can't think of an example of some ahead But if I if I had a dream that like my leg got caught off or something right I would sometimes I wake up and I like just check my legs You know even though I wake up and I'm in my bed. I'm like obviously that was not real, but I check But like you got demons, right? I have demons like so one of a sleep paralysis demons. I don't know That's not my experience with sleep paralysis. I do have that sometimes. There are people that have there It's it's a well-documented phenomena that people experience sleep paralysis. Is that happening? No, thank God I get sleep paralysis. I never I have I consider myself quite lucky and I'm gonna knock on as much wood as I can I Have never experienced sleep paralysis and I consider myself very lucky. That would be three times You have but do you have like a figure that you see? Yeah, I was an old woman. Oh, oh fuck that. Yeah, I get I get Wait, hold on you are so what I was I was laying down on my back and I was just like my eyes Opened but I couldn't move right and then like this old woman was just like floating right here on top of me and then like what she looked like She was it was very scary and I couldn't Yeah, it makes sense and I couldn't Move so like slowly. I was just like Bitch Get out. It's the only thing that you could think of as this old sleep woman demon is Hovering over you is to insult her. Yeah, let's see. Oh, she flying or she was kind of leaning over I don't I don't I that part I don't know but it felt like she was floating she looked like did you watch the the what movies are those not the conjuring the other ones the Insidious movies she looked like that woman valic. I think is the name of that. No. No. She was old like older valics Like a none thing. She was just like like an old scary woman. Oh my god I just like the only thing I get out was like Was it feel like when you come out of that because that's not my experience with it you like finally It doesn't it's not all at once But like I can move my arm and then like then as soon as you get one body part out like everything comes out your brain turns on got it That's crazy for me. I I never see anything, but it feels like I'm awake, but my eyes aren't open like I can't see my room, but but My mind is awake and I can't see anything because my eyes are closed and I can't move So then I start panicking and I feel like I can't breathe so I'm trying to like Regulate my breathing and then I'm trying to like move my leg like so hard and it feels like I'm moving it like a Like a tiny bit and then eventually when I come out of it I come out of it all at once I'm like oh god. Thank you. I I can say like I said I consider myself very lucky that I ever experienced that I I I have During my life experience two thing one more frequently This is gonna make sense to nobody and it's so stupid sounding, but like it's a very weird one is like I feel like I'm this happened to me Like a couple days ago. I feel like I'm moving at the speed of light like I feel I'm not getting in your sleep It like as I'm laying there like if I like blink or roll over or something it feels like it's happening
at literal superhuman speed. Like super speed. Super speed like you rolling over? Like, whether I, like if I were to like do this or like blink or roll over or something, if I'm not, it's like, it feels like to me. Like it is happening like the flash. What the hell? Very weird. The other one, which is so weird. And I remember I used to get this as a kid and it like very randomly happens. This is gonna make no sense. But it's called the sharp rounds. I call it, it's not called that. I call it the sharp round. It's just about, it's not called that. I call it the sharp rounds. We're like, there's this feeling and I can't, it's not like I'm touching anything. I'm not moving. It's just this feeling of like things around but sharp at the same time. And like if I were to like rub my hand around like a pillow, it's a rounded pillow, but it feels like it's cutting my hand. It's so weird, but this is happening in your dreams. In my sleep as I'm trying to fall asleep. I'm very, I consider myself very lucky. I fall asleep very easily. The sharp round. And I remember as a kid and I, and like very, very randomly, rarely happens. I don't know the rhyme or reason. What's the last time you had the sharp rounds? Within the last like month. And but like before that, years. But is that like in a dream you're walking around and touching something? No, no, no, no, like I am, I know I'm actively trying to like fall asleep. You have to like pretend you're sleeping in order to fall asleep. Yeah, you're like in twilight. Yeah, yeah, and like there's just this feeling of just like there's round thing. Like your pillow? Whether it be the pillow or just like I can feel that there's something over there that's round but sharp. It's not so crazy. So you don't actually have to touch it. No, but like then I think about touching it. And I'm like that's a sharp round, hence the name. It's so weird. What I was thinking was maybe like you don't realize that you're hands asleep and you're touching something. But like it's also it is but isn't a tactile thing. Like I can imagine touching something and it is that but then I could also just think about it. You never looked up this. I've never looked at, I've never, I've also never shared this with anyone outside of Becca before. Oh, I had to sharp rounds last night. (laughing) I feel honored. Thank you. And now all of the. Well, that's interesting. I don't know if I have anything like that. When I do have sleep paralysis though and I get out of it, my body is so tired. It's almost like what I imagine anesthesia is like where I'm so tired and I know that once I fall back asleep it's gonna happen again. Let me wake up and then I like can feel myself like, and I'm like I just, it's gonna happen again. I have to fall back asleep and I get it again. I'm gonna tell you some, not with anesthesia is like. Literally anesthesia is just like, like it's the blink of an eye. Well, I just imagine like you know the feeling of like you're getting tired and you're going. I mean, that's what it feels like. Bro, at least my experience with anesthesia was not like, oh, I'm getting sleepy. I'm getting sleepy. It's literally like here, there, there. Like it's, and I know everyone is different. Let me make that very clear. But it was like, I hate that 'cause I know what's gonna happen again. I had another one where I was facing the wall and just like this shadow was coming up the wall very slowly and I was like, it just didn't feel right. You watched a lot of goosebumps at work. I'm a big horror guy, but that one I came out of like, who know? Like that one I was like, oh, that one was bad. Like that actually, like I had to get out of that one like, now what happens to me a lot because I'm blind, I have to take my contacts out and then I go to the bathroom and sometimes I'll walk out into my room and certain things look like other shit. Like it looks like a person standing there if it's like a plant or like a jacket hanging or whatever and like, sometimes it like really freaks me out. Like I'm like, oh Jay, and like it just gets me 'cause I'm just seeing like shapes, like it's dark. I can't see you like, but what do you think would be there? I don't know. Like sometimes it looks like someone bending over like grabbing something or like, yeah. It's different when you have, like you guys, well you're in a house, you're in an apartment but like you have one way in and out of your apartment. I have, I'm not thinking about that though. Oh, I am. In the middle of the night. Well, once you have a house you will because you have front door, back door window. Well, then that's when I'll like probably be like, oh, this really could be something. That's when you get, simply say. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But yeah, all this stemming from the possibility that aliens are coming in people. Yeah, that's a tough one. That's insane. I would, like now that that information came out. I'm not telling anyone I got abducted. I mean, well people were saying when they get abducted that they do get probed. They're like, it was a real thing. And the guy that we had talked to on other people's lives said that he vividly remembers being like on a ship, like a door opening up and him being and like seeing people around. Can I ask you a serious question? If you could opt into being abducted, probing is in there. You're gonna have to. Yeah. Are you doing it? No. Do they give me a goodie bag? Like yes, here's some merch on your way. Yeah, calling your butt. Yeah, you get the fur. Here's some alien cream pie. Yeah, no. That's the fucking goodie bag. You get cream pieed by an alien. It would be interesting to know that it's like a real thing. I pulled up the article. Like getting beamed up. I would like, I would like to not be beamed up. What? If I would like, if I were to be abducted, I would like the technology to be kind of close enough to what we have here on earth. Because if I got beamed up, I'd be like, "Yo, that was so cool I need to have that happen again." Like I'd like it to just be like they guide me onto a ship. You'd be begging for it. And I'd be like, "Yo, be me daddy!" Probe me again. What's this in the article? I don't know how true any of this is, but so this person, Dr. Max Rempel, just went to the people who claimed who had got abducted, sampled their DNA, and out of that, at least 11 families had large chunks of DNA that didn't belong to either parent or their immediate family when they came back, from the deduction. See? It's interesting. It's possible. Do you think that eventually, that means that they can, like, their child will have more of that DNA? Ooh, that would be cool. And now eventually, we'll all be aliens, but we're all aliens. We're all aliens. It's like sleeper cells. You remember that? The idea that like they can like maybe like activate it and like, what movie was that? Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, where like ego goes and like puts his seed in different planets and then he can just be like, "Got it!" And they fucking start. Like, what if the aliens are doing that? So then when the time comes, they can just be like, "Yo, by the way, we've been inseminating for a lack of better terms, people on your planet for the last 500 years." And it's DNA that follows down maybe. So like, they can activate like a sleeper cell, alien supporters. Or maybe they're just like, you know, the sailors of the intergalactic world and they're just stopping at fucking any port and banish. Yeah, yeah, like they're just like stopping at like, "Wait, what? What did you say?" And like, you said bangin' a fish. And like bangin' a fish? No, sailors. They never had like portin' a storm, baby. Like sailors, they would show up to places and like, they would have sex with women, 'cause they're like, "I heard the song Brandy by looking glass." Oh, I thought you were saying we were the fish. No one is having sex with fish. Why are you bringing a fish? 'Cause you said sailor. Yeah, I thought to the aliens coming in our butts, we were the fish. All right, no one's the fish. And also, let's talk about human beings. Like a sailor. So the idea is like a sailor back in the day would get to like New York, for instance. And they would go out to the bars and stuff and they would hook up with girls, but then they'd just leave, but they wouldn't use protection. It's like, I'm never gonna see this woman again, 'cause it was back in the day. So we're the girls. We are the girls. We are the girls. And they would show up to Brandy. Brandy, you're a fine girl. What a good wife you would be, but my life, my love and my lady is the sea. They gotta get out of there, maybe. You know, like so they're just showing up. And they're like, we'll probably couple of these bastards and get the hell out of here. They'll never see us. Or what if it's like, that's kind of funny to think about. What if it's like the equivalent of like, fucking like people on like stag parties. You know, we're like, there's like, "Oh, we're gonna go for like, we're going to Vegas for a stag party." And it's like the aliens are just like, "Yo, we're going to Earth for bachelor party." What's a stag party? I don't know, I've heard of it. Don't care. Bachelor party is what I meant. Stag party? Yeah, I don't know. But you know what I mean? And for King Sion's bachelor party, we're going to Earth, way to see what they got down there. And they show up and they landed like Alabama. And it's just a racist old white man. I mean, it's such a crazy thing, man. And I honestly sympathize with those people because imagine something like that happening and feeling like no one's believing that this happened. Like that would be so tough. That would be-- - That would be something that you know is real. And you're like, I know that it's unusual, but I know it's real. That would be very isolating. And I-- - That would be terrifying. - In that regard, I am sympathetic to people that that has happened to because I can imagine the feeling of isolation and loneliness. But I don't know. I think a part of me just doesn't want to think it happened because it's scary. - Yeah, I don't want to-- - Accidentally-- - What if they're listening right now? What if the aliens are just like, "Yo, we picked up." - They're going to get you. That's what they're going to get you. - If they're fucking, if they're going for anybody. - They want you, Joey. - I don't know about that. - You think so? - I don't know. - Tell me more. - About what? - Me. - You're probable. - That's not what I wanted. - That is what it was. - I don't want it. I didn't want that. - If Alien would choose anybody to probe, I think they choose you. - Why? - You're very desirable to probe. - Well, see, yeah.
Bro, but why though? Where do you think you rank out of us three to probe just in out of 10? I think I'm probable But what level is probable because technically all of them are probable a technical technical Frank and no Frank Seven and a half out of ten six and a half nine and a half Nine two debts nine and a half that's like the program seven and a half and you're Please probe me dad. Yeah I think Yeah, I'm not probable Before you're way higher than I really wonder have you guys ever seen like a UFO or something like that? I don't I think so back at like recently like look through like an old video and she's like there's a UFO in the back Well, how old was the video four years ago? Oh, that's not I thought I'm not like an old video I'm like oh, maybe it was a camera. You you guys had a UFO problem right or something what the drones last Feels like there was decades ago, dude that does and like I was freaking out because of the drones. I do yeah I mean that was an interesting thing bro. I also one night was laughing so hard because There were people saying that there was a Bro, and maybe this is true, but it's just funny to like I don't know someone's like there's a mother ship off the coast of New Jersey Oh, yeah, the drones are coming from the mother ship. Yeah, and I was laughing so hard at that one at that like if you're just Speculating that to me that's hysterical and if that's real even funny Mother ship. Yeah, yeah, it is it is kind of like mother ship. That's my approach with all these like scary things is like I have to find something to laugh at about them because if not, I will be terrified and I will crumble Imagine like, yeah, there's there's a ship the size of Puerto Rico. Like who cares? Imagine like Independence Day. Yeah, bro. I think about that a lot. I do too whenever I see clouds that like look like a line I'm like imagine the Coming out. I do that anytime. I said this. I do that any time I go over like a bridge I like look out in the horizon and like imagine I see something just like Coming over the horizon and I'm just like a big monster or a ship either or yeah, you know, I like to imagine I would like to imagine nothing. I do imagine a lot. I do too, but I would like not to Okay Well, that's the paranoia It's against me. It's a vicious circle. If you're the one that saw it, it'd be very unfortunate that it's like Oh, this had to happen here like why is it so close like I would much rather see it on TV somewhere else I would like to think that I'd be able to drive away from it That ain't happening. Did you hear what I said? You would like to like to think. Yeah, yeah, you need everyone Else to drive away traffic you get stuck on a car now you have to run. I don't think you can run it I will say I think that the idea of like You know like Godzilla like there's something very deep in the water. That's like a big monster or whatever I kind of enjoy it. You lose Frankie. You lose Frankie It was like a giant squid, but it was fucking mass. You lose me. I'm not contributing to this conversation That would be so cool. That is I'm not kidding. I am not I'm I really don't think I'm like afraid of much like much like actual like actual stuff You're afraid of a lot. No like actual things like I'm not afraid of like snakes or bugs or you know Like it's it's theories that I'm afraid of you can do that all day. Yeah, but That the ocean like the idea like we saw those videos a giant squid Where it's just like a giant something under the ocean that wouldn't really scare me that much because like I'm not going out on the open ocean anyway Fly over it Yeah, it's a squid. I mean, what if it but what if it's a big one dude? Yeah, if a cracking let's say can is so big It could reach a plane. It's over anyway. Yeah, I mean they're not gonna rule pull it out of the sky They might something that big also is kind of like they probably can't even see that what are we doing? I'd like to think so big or probably can't even see the plane oh Man it will never get the delta I will say I'm not trying to you know shit all over a spirit because they've had a rough go But those are bright yellow planes the crack and would see those they would see the bright yellow ones all right We got to stop talking about planes we're about to start flying soon I think we're safe from the cracking I think it's more likely maybe it'll throw a boat. What about a megalodon? That's cool Big fucking shark. That's a big shark. Listen When it comes to stuff under the water because guess what you look out you see the ocean you don't see underneath But you know it has to go in you're protected by the land Yeah, but why does that bother you because what if if it like like walk like Cloverfield monster a shark? Or a Cloverfield monster. Oh, yeah, that's not good. I mean we have that. I mean we shoot some rockets at it or something and then what what happened in the Cloverfield monster? I don't remember how that will be ended. It wasn't great. I can split that movie's incredible. No, I'm saying I'm saying 100 years old saying how it ended Did they kill it? Is it feels like not a yes or no? There's a little sting at the end where there's a little voice now it goes Okay, so they love Cloverfield so don't even get me started on my Cloverfield. I know you love that I love Cloverfield and then all the adjacent stuff most of the adjacent stuff Cloverfield paradox big disappointment 10 Cloverfield Lane Is that John Goodman? Yeah, that was a good one. That's a goodie. Yeah. Oh, I would like a bunker one day. That'd be fun I mean you're your big billionaire Joe. You'll have one. I think you're getting invited to one.
