#529 - Announcing The Word Of The Year!

Coach and Spotify are launching a collaborative initiative called the Tabby Tour, combining live music events with personalized experiences, including custom Spotify playlists tailored to individual listening habits. This effort invites fans to engage with music and personal style in a meaningful way. The episode also includes a humorous, personal conversation between hosts about common health quirks—such as styes, tonsil stones, and eye discomfort—shared with advice on remedies like hot compresses and tea bags. A central cultural theme explores internet memes, particularly the rise of "6-7" as the 2025 dictionary.com word of the year, symbolizing viral, meaningless, yet deeply shared online expressions. The hosts reflect on how language and culture evolve, with examples from past years like “selfie” or “hallucinate” reflecting societal trends. The conversation is enriched by lighthearted anecdotes, such as a fan being targeted with a “horns down” gesture at a baseball game, showing the emotional depth of fan culture. The episode promotes several brand partnerships, including Prize Picks for sports betting, FitBod for fitness, Rocket Money for financial management, and BetterHelp for mental health support. Ultimately, the show blends humor, personal stories, and cultural commentary to engage listeners, while encouraging community through Patreon access and audience participation.

was talking like that you're right you did but also there were other things that were happening with your voice you were like you were like yo like don't be a fucking hoe on the internet that's my joe senegato in 2013 impression like yo if you're a slut you can be a fucking Fucking Walmart put pants on also goes give hand jobs. I Wasn't much better I was worse. I'm just glad at the time. There was I was way more like Queens that I am now You were definitely and it comes out every now and no it does it does that clip of when you said like? You were like, oh so like yeah Yeah, I don't know man the Queens the well that wasn't necessarily the Queens in you That was also the like, you know going to school in like Corona of you probably Yeah, I mean that was so funny. So wait, so like your knees I know like the I was it sounded like my throat, but I used to get really bad a sore throats Oh and You know when that's happening and you could see like my tonsils were so big but now that that stopped happening to me Do you ever have you ever had to get him like milked? It's a great Dude, that's a great question. I think it's a really good question. Yeah, it's a great question. Like when do tonsils get milked suppressed? wait, are you I Am dealing with two different types of stupidity One at a time. Hey, do you think that people go to the doctors and they milk your tonsils? I mean they go in and I'm sure they squeeze stuff out of it Like they get rid of tonsil stones if they're too big for being stones in your mouth Oh, if you if they like get too large, they just take them out They don't milk and how do they take them out? They cut them out. I Think they're milking people's tonsils I mean, I imagine they go in and they have to like get stuff out of them and that includes I've seen videos on Fucking on the internet of like people like going in with like that like that thing that has like a wire That's like a circle on the end of it and they go in and they press it and then stones just pop out and they're fucking Hideous and they're stupid Fucking weird ass Fix your throat. No, you don't get milked at the doctor's Dude, you don't get milked. You just get them taken out. Well, cuz it Okay, so I did I don't do that. But I have there are parts of the body that need milking Yep Neat is crazy. No, but like I know I know people that have had like from like Breastfeeding they've had blocked ducts and they need to like work it out Yeah, like then, you know, of course and or like it reminds me. That's the only one let's get that out I mean nothing else needs to be milked. I'm 20% sure that you could milk the prostate Yeah, but it doesn't need to be milked. I mean sometimes it does I think I mean you need some milk You need to milk your dogs on your birthday. It does Milk dogs anal glands. That's true. So they call that expressing them expressing that not suppressing expressing So yeah, I'm sure there are other parts of the body that must be expressed. I sound like a fucking priest express be with you Express the milk Yeah, and also with you did we want to know what a tassels? Yeah, what is it? It's a bacteria dead cells calcium and phosphate and food debris all in one. So it's a combo food calcium Detritus is that one of those? What was the other D in there? No one said detritus. What was the D word? I Dead cells. I don't know what you heard detritus. I mean, I just You're that sounds like a cool Greek God, I will say that detritus is a thing Is it? Yeah, it's a thing. I don't remember exactly Exactly what detritus is it does sound like a really really cool like a Greek a Greek bully or Greek God Who's like in cool with like, you know, like he's on the river Styx and he goes to Hades and he's like, it's me And he talks like that Are you okay there's something going on it's a waste or debris of any kind detritus That's pretty good. Technically. It is detritus. But what you said was wrong. Let's get that out. Oh just now I mean technically it is detritus. That was right. Yeah, technically a tonsil goes that you created. Oh the the Greek character. Yes, I mean But if they're gonna name it after something Waste and like like bad stuff Would they not name it after the person that that kind of brings people on the ship on the river Styx to the underworld and it's like they're named after him because he's transporting dead stuff waste we don't need to Do all that but we're going to see Haiti. I am detritus, but they'd be Greek so they'd be like egg in there That's it it's all I got all right. Well, that was beautiful. I never had tonsil stones Yeah, not had kidney stones knock on fucking wood. I hear those are bad, dude. I Sometimes though when I have tonsil stones if I if this happened to me the other day I was talking and it just flew out of my mouth. Oh That's a little grow fuck it. I Don't like that like fuck that I saw a video once of someone cutting open a bladder to get rid of kidney stones and it, I'm not even kidding, looked like just a hand holding rocks. You're talking about gallstones? No, the ones that you piss out. Isn't that in the kidney? Wherever they cut it out of. The kidney stone? Maybe. I don't remember where they cut it out, but look up a picture. He doesn't need to point this out. I want Joey to see this. I'm not a squeamish kind of guy. I'm not a squeamish kind of guy either, but Josh, don't put this in. I feel like you're trying to squeam me, though. I don't want to squeam you at all, babe. What's your order, sir? I'm pre-squeam. Oh, look up giant kidney stones in the body. Come on. Oh. Oh, boy. I don't know if it's going to. Oh, boy. I don't know if this is what you wanted. Oh, dude, this sucks. No. Oh, and they look evil. What is that? Oh, those are the rocks. Oh, my God. This looks like a brain. Look how big they could get. No, no. I mean, I've seen bigger than that, dude. Half an inch? Dude, I've seen bigger. And I don't think that's an inch, brother. I think that's a centimeter. Yeah, it might be. Because there's ten ticks. A one-inch stone is not making it through your piss hole, brother. You're going to have to get that blasted. Not an inch. How do they blast them? Do they just like punch you in the kidney for like an hour? You know that's not what they do. I'm asking. I think that it's like a like sound. Yeah, like, I don't know. It's like a whale. Yeah, like they have a whale scream in your back. They do sonar and fucking blow it up. That'd be pretty cool. Honestly, that would be awesome. I would like go out of my way to get one so I can have a whale scream at me. Do you think that's loud as hell? I can imagine if they could hear it from like miles away. Right. But like sound travels differently through water. I don't even know if that's true. No, I think the laws of nature allow that to be true. But like, does sound travel further in water? Probably not. Oh, that's a great question that we're not going to look up. No, no, no. Because think about this. If we're both in a pool and we scream slow. Yeah, but we are humans. We are not whales. They are. They are. That's not evolution. Evolutionarily, basically conditioned in order to do that. I'm saying when but that's more about hearing. I'm saying sound waves. They travel. And discover custom playlists on Spotify, but just for you, based on who you are and how you listen, live your story with Coach. Learn more at coach.com. Less in water. They must sound waves travel faster in water up to four point three times faster. Oh, but further. I mean, I think further further all depends on watching it there, buddy. I think it all depends on the strength. Of the of the sound. So like, we probably can't scream even at our highest. We can't scream like whales. Anything like a whale. Yeah, I could try, though. It does also travel further. No way. Because of the density, man. That's pretty cool. That's cool. Did you know penises look bigger underwater? Okay. Say what? One more time. Penises look bigger underwater. What website are you on? I learned that from Snooki. I mean, listen, all due respect to Snooki. I don't know if that is where I would ask for her expertise. She is a woman. I mean, she also spent a lot of time at the Jersey Shore, but you can't see in the ocean. They spent a lot of times in hot tubs, too. So is it maybe it's different in a hot tub? I can imagine that the hot tubs they were spending time in had murky water because it was mostly vodka and tanner. I like watch that show for the first time last year, which has been at us for. Yes, sure. What an insane, like capturing a time and like pocket of human existence. Yeah. Like it is. Bro, do me a favor. The world stopped when that came out. Bro, watch that show. And first of all, because we were 17, 18, 19 when that show was at its peak in popularity. So we were the ones that were going out to clubs and shit like that. I wasn't a big clubber and I don't think you were either, but we went out to clubs. Yeah, I really didn't. Yeah. And like, not only did we like, at least I can speak for myself here. Did I know people that were basically just miniature versions of Pauly, Vinny and Mike? Yeah, everybody. But like, there's just like a like, it's hard to explain. Like, that's such a moment in time. And it's just like, holy fuck. Yeah. It's just crazy. Yeah. It's just a crazy thing where it's just like, that was us. You've lost. It's just funny now. Why? What are you talking about? Actually, I don't, I don't want to know. You don't care? I feel like you're going down one of those holes where it's like, there might not be a point. I'll be honest with you. I feel like what I just said was offensive. Little of what I say ever has a point at the start. I find points on the way. That's why I'm trying to say, because I'm like, if we explain this even further, we might not get to a point. Yeah. It's like, it's like, you know, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like a rosebush. Okay. Oh, we're back down another one. Go ahead. I'm a beautiful, like you see it and you're just like, wow. And then the stalks grow and then just points pop up. They don't ever plan on where the points are going to be. The thorns, you mean? The thorns. Yeah. They eventually just pop up and you're just like, wow, that's a real good one. That's a good point of a good thorn? Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Speaking of good points, well, that's not a good segue. Frank's holding out on us. He was like, oh, we have a, what is it? The dictionary word of the year or something? Yes. So dictionary.com, which is a thing, which is why, like, don't get me started on dictionary.com. I can go on for hours about them. Can you? No. They announced their word of the year. So just to give you some examples, we've had some previous word of the year. Like selfie. Selfie. Riz, I think was on there. It's usually shit like that. Hold on. I'm pulling up dictionary.com. Yay. So like, oh, 2024 dictionary.com word of the year was demure. Very demure. Very mindful. Yeah. 2023 was hallucinate. What happened? What? What happened there? Was that not in the, oh, it's not. I thought it was like a new word. No, no, no. Like it's, it's just picking like the word of the year. Hallucinate. Word of the year means like they pick a word that's. They feel is like the word of the year. I thought they were going to fuck is hallucinate. I don't know. For 2023. What happened last year? That was two years ago. You were hallucinating. 2022 woman. Should be the word of the year every year. Why was it woman? I don't know. Okay. I mean, I really don't know. I don't remember. 2021 allyship. I see a link. Sure. I see a link on how we got from one to the other. 2020 pandemic. Well, a little on the nose. Too much. 2019. Existential. This goes back to 2010. Do you want, like, want me to keep going? Did you say eggs? Existential. And then, oh yeah, let's just go back. I want to hear them. 2018 misinformation. Okay. That's a good one. That's a good one. 20, 20. Listen, if you're in America, you remember 2016 to 2020. Yeah. You probably remember 2020 very well too. These words tend to follow a trend here. 2017. 2017 was complicit. Okay. 2017. 2016 was xenophobia. Yo, that being the word in an election year is hilarious. Which it is crazy. 2015 was identity. Was that when we started doing all that? Sexual identity. Maybe. Yeah. That was kind of like the awakening. No, I mean like the pronouns and all that stuff. Like, I feel like. I feel like that was later. I feel like that was like 2017. Like people started putting them in emails and stuff. Dude, 2015 was 10 years. I know. It fucks me up. 2014 exposure. Sounds about right. That's the peak of like YouTube. Oh, okay. 2013 privacy. Funny that. Privacy and then exposure. Oh, 2017 complicit. I think that was the year of like the rise of the Me Too movement. Got it. Yeah. So that makes sense. 2012 bluster. What does that even mean? I don't know. I'll be honest. I also don't know what 2011 means. Ter-vig. Ter-giver-sate? Ter-giver-sate? Ter-giver-sate? Ter-giver-sate. T-E-R-G-I-V-E-R-S-A-T-E? I also don't know what bluster means. Can we get a ruling on those? And then 2010 was change. Was that Obama or something? Oh, no. That was Hope. Hope was. But that was. He was president at that point in time. Okay. But 2025. Any idea? After you've heard some for previous years, other publications do like their word of the year. I'm sure we'll get one from like Merriam-Webster or Oxford because that's what they need to do now. in order to be relevant. Uh, But any idea, possible, possibility on what the 2025 word of the year is? I'm going to say. What is it? Is it political? No. Oh, damn it. That's immediately where my mind went. I'll say, I don't even remember what happened this year, to be honest. Fuck. Is it cool? I don't know how to answer, is it cool? I mean, that's subjective. Everything is cool to somebody. Well, I only have all of the words in the dictionary to pick from right now. Like, every. I mean. Do you think it properly represents the year? A part of the year. I don't know if it represents the whole year, but definitely a part of it. Vaccine. I don't even know. I mean, that would have been 21. Fuck. Great. Now the episode is demonetized. Shit, great. Did you ever look up tergiversate? I was honestly trying to remember the word you said without ruining. No, no. So I got tergiversate. It's making conflicting or evasive statements equivocate. We don't need that. We don't even need that. I don't even need that shit. We don't even need that word. I don't even need that. That's a crazy word. Like, we don't need that shit. Absolutely not. And bluster? Bluster. I mean, it just sounds like a really cool kid living down the block that has, like, a lazy eye. Bluster is. It does, though. Oh, that's a good old bluster. Yeah, that's bluster. Hey, guys, want to come over? I have Hot Pockets. Talk in a loud, aggressive, or indignant way with little effect. With a little effect. Okay, cool. Yeah. All right, so this word for this year is going to be. I have no idea, dude. Ant, what do you think? Give us some. What do you think? It's going to be the dictionary.com word of the year. I thought this was, like, inducting a word, so now I don't even know. Yeah, I thought so, too. I mean, they do. That does happen. It's not. I mean, I don't know. I imagine that if dictionary.com is, like, that's the word of the year, they're going to induct it. But I don't know how this would get inducted into dictionary.com. Like, where they would put this in the dictionary. With, like, Brat? Well, I would know where they would put that. I mean, but Brat was last year. Brat was, like, Brat's summer was, like, 2024. Was it? I don't know. I don't see it. I just. I mean, if you live like me, you're always Brat. Well, okay. What's something like Sabrina Carpenter-y? Juno. I mean, no. I don't know. I don't even. All right, what is it? The dictionary.com word of the year. No, it's not. Six, seven. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Yes, it absolutely is. That's not a word. That's why I said I don't even know where they would put this. It's six, seven. Six, seven. The meme that has captured the internet's attention in late 2025 has been named the word of the year by dictionary.com. Over the years, plenty of internet slang terms have started being used in everyday life. A number of these have been born out of TikTok and Twitch, including Riz, Skivity, Brain Rot, and Ratioed. We're dying. Six, seven, bro. Even though they're used in everyday life, not all these terms are going to make it into the dictionary. A few have been, though, recognized for their cultural impact and how quickly they've become widespread. Six, seven, which was born from, rapper Skrilla and his song, I just love the way you're like, it's like I'm listening to the news, report it, you know? And his song, which, it's crazy that he stole that from us. There's another double-digit. Has become the latest of those being awarded word of the year. Wow. Those are numbers. Most other two-digit numbers had no meaningful trend over the period, implying that there is something special about six, seven. The speed at which a new word can rocket around the world as a rising generation enters the global conversation. I hate when, like, they take something fun and do that. No other two numbers was significantly. I could think of two. No other two numbers? 9-11? Oh, not what I meant. I thought that's where you were going. What numbers did you think? 69? I mean, 69's been around since the fucking, like. 69, 9-11. What else? 420. 420. 420. Yeah. But this raised the question, what does 6-7 actually mean? Oh, God, we can't go down this road. Like, there is no meaning. We, as the basement yard, Joey, not only are we. We have a responsibility as the sexiest podcast on the planet to, in the year of our Lord, 2025, figure out, for our fans, for the people at large, what 6-7 exactly means. There is no meaning. I mean, there has to be. No. So, it's just. It's just. It's just. Yeah. Nothing? There has to be a meaning. It has to stem from something. What did Skrilla say? The hardest thing to explain about 6-7 to my parents was how it means nothing. It's, like, an impossible thing to explain. So, like, is it, like, the idea of, like, if someone asks you, like, oh, like, how do you feel right now? On a scale of 1 to 10, you're, like, ah, like, 6-7. Yeah, like, you could do it like that. I know I could do it like that because those are numbers in a numerical sense. Well, that's, like, that's. Yeah. So, is the meaning of 6-7 that it's just, like, like, I don't know, like, a little. Like, it's become a meme within a meme, to my understanding. Okay, that doesn't mean anything. I didn't realize that. That's what I'm saying, though. Where it's, like, it started as a meme, like, I, from what I know, there was, like, this kid, and, like, he did it at a game, like, a basketball game, and he, like, did this thing with his hands and said 6-7, and then everyone was, like, making fun of this kid, and then it just became, like, a meme. So, if they would ask, like, other kids, like, you know, or they'd be interviewing athletes, and they'd be like, yeah, at half, I had, like, 6-7 points. Like, it just became, like, a meme. Okay, but. And now it's just kind of meaningless. But all memes. If we go back to the earliest existence of memes, which a lot of them stemmed from Rage Comics. What? You don't remember those Rage Comics? What is that? Where, like, where so many of those, like, you know, like, faces came from, the, like, you know, stuff like that. They were, like. Oh, yeah. Early 2010s. Which the earliest onset of memes. Talk like a human. There's something hysterical about, like, someone eventually is going to do, like, like, teach people just sociology class in, like, 2058. 100%. And it should be like, so here is where we saw the earliest onset of the memes. Yeah, like, ugh. Mis- You know, mis-labeled memes. Didn't Keith use that? Didn't he call them memes? He called it, like, meme. He's like, yeah, I saw this meme. I was like, let me stop you there. He's just got to cut it out. But, like, all of the memes, they mean something, but they are just, like. Like, masking it as, like, it means something. It means this, but it also means, like, it's just another way of saying it. Like, when you see the meme of, like. Give me a popular meme. I mean, yo, dude, I'll be honest with you. A lot of the memes that I like are, like, so meaningless. I went down this rabbit hole one time, and. Because, you know, once you, like, like a video, it's, like, it's just sent to you all the time. But it was just the sound of pipes. What? Bro, it was just the sound of pipes. Like, things. Hitting pipes? Just pipes. But, like, pipes have. They have to. They don't make sounds. Like, if you threw a pipe. So, something hitting a pipe. Or, yeah, just, like, throwing a pipe. But it was, like, a bunch of pipes crashing into each other, basically. And it would just be, like, a regular video, and then all of a sudden you would hear that, and then slowly, like, fade into a picture of one pipe. And it killed me. Why is that so. Exactly. But that's. But that literally was, like. It just made me laugh so hard. But I think if you think of, like, memes, like, you think of, like, the baby that's, like. You know what baby I'm talking about. Or you think of, like, Sad Brian. You remember that one? Where it was, like. These are, like, throwbacks. Okay, but I'm using. More than ten years. Yeah, like, this is insane. All right. But I'm using those as an example. Or, like, the guy that's, like, typing at the computer, like, you know what I'm talking about? Oh, like, this is fine? Yeah. Or, like. No, no, no. Like, the old man with the, like, full beard, and he's, like. Okay. You know? Or the one of Scarlett Johansson from that movie Marriage Story, where she's, like. Yeah. Where it's, like, how your email is finding me. Have you been on a computer in, like, ten years? Or. I'm saying memes, they gave a feeling to something that otherwise doesn't have a definition. Like, there is a meaning. It's just. It's something that we have not been able to put a word to. So people put an image to it. But there's comedy in zero meaning. In the same way that, like, the pipes thing, like, would make me laugh. I would send it to Pete all the time. It'd just be pipes. Or the, like, the Italian brain rot craze. I never. I don't understand that shit. But see, that I don't think is a meme. That I don't think. What you're explaining is not a meme. It's just a stupid thing that someone does. Like, a meme. If we could actually seriously look up the definition of a meme, I feel like it is. We shouldn't. We shouldn't. I should. We should not. I feel like it's, like. What's gonna. What's. Who. Like, what do you. Because I'm trying to explain that this is not a meme. It's just a thing that someone says. Like, if we're thinking about a meme, a meme is representative of a feeling, a thought, an emotion. Why are you trying to, like, put parameters on memes? Yes, I am, because I am someone of high status. It is a. It's just like an internet inside joke, kind of. That's pretty much it. An element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another. I don't even know what that means. I think I'm wrong. I think it's just like an inside joke. I don't know. Dude, the pipes, though. That's such a stupid. It's so dumb. I literally. I'm just going to type one thing into Instagram and just try to see. I guess memes existed before the internet. Like, do you remember when you and I would just be like. I don't know if. This is such a deep cut. I don't even know if you're going to remember this, but we'd be like, yeah, all right, I'm going to go to this store. Yeah, yeah. But listen, this is the pipes. So that's the pipe sound, right? So there'd be a regular video playing. Just a regular, regular video. And then you'd hear that, and then just a picture of, like, not even the background cropped out. Just that. Look at this picture. It's just that. Like, it's just the stupidest thing. Exactly. Exactly. That's why it's funny to me. Because, like, who the fuck thought of that? But also, like, come on. You know, like. It'd be like a scene from Spider-Man. Not even a funny scene. Just talking. All of a sudden, you'd hear the pipes, and then the pipe would slowly fade in. And I'm like, who keeps making these? And it just. It would kill me. It had me in a chokehold. For, like, a summer, dude. That's so stupid. Crashing pipes. That's like, remember when we would just be like, all right. Like, when someone would talk to us, and we'd be like, all right, cool, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You know, just, like, shit like that. It's just, I get the idea of, like, something is so stupid, but I guess I always. I viewed memes as something else. Like, it's not. To me, memes meant something more, okay? When I was a kid, memes meant something. They meant something. They stood for something. They stood for. They stood for an emotion. Something that you couldn't put words to. So what came to the rescue? A picture of a kid in a backwards brown hat and a big puffer jacket, and he looked like a big douchebag. It's crazy. He's talking about the original, like, very long ago memes. But. There's some good old school memes. Should we look at them? Should we look at old school memes? No, we shouldn't. But we should. No, we should do. We should get to these ads because we do have some ads on this episode, and the first one being Prize Picks, okay? This episode is brought to you by Prize Picks. But, listen, Prize Picks, it's a lot of fun. It's easy to understand. All you're doing is competing against these Prize Picks projections, which is a mouthful there. But basically, if you're watching sports, let's say you're watching football and you're watching the Chiefs. Is Travis Kelsey going to have more or less than four and a half catches? Something like that. You would say more or less. And you do that a couple times with different players. Is Josh Allen going to have more or less than 205 passing yards in this game? You can pick that one, too. Uh, and you kind of put those together and you can win a bunch of money doing that. And it's a lot of fun. So it's very simple. It's a fun experience for everybody.

FitBod, they're going to help you get in shape. And it's awesome because it creates a personalized workout routine for you based on your goals, based on your experience, and based on your available equipment. So if you don't have access to a gym, you don't need it. You don't need that. If you have a couple of dumbbells, that's great. So they can create a workout routine around that. Even if you don't have dumbbells, they will create something that is body weight that you can just use your own body to create a workout routine based on your fitness goals. Like, not everyone's fitness goals are the same. Some people want to get stronger or they want to lose weight or they, you know, want to lean out or whatever. Whatever you want to do, they will create a workout plan for that. And the workouts adapt to your growth. So each workout is more challenging than the last, I should say. It affects your muscle recovery so you know you don't experience burnout or anything like that. So they're along for the ride.

We should. I think we should. Come up with a bigger meme than 6-7. Please stop. I think if we can capture lightning in a bottle here on the basement yard. You're thinking about it too much. We can become. Hot dogs. We can have a bigger meme than 6-7. I think hot dogs were bigger than 6-7. No, they weren't. I actually did have a hot dog the other day. Oh, I had a couple. I went to the World Series game, Game 6. Jay's lost. Yep. Traitor. Also, was able to go. Shout out to SeatGeek. Last year, they sent us to the World Series. Yeah, SeatGeek always with the hookup. With the hookup. Hook me up, SeatGeek. We went to the Yankees last year, and they hooked it up. So this year, I went in Toronto to go to a game. Yep. Just want to say, just want to say, the game we went to last year was the only one the Yankees won. It might be us. It is us. Yeah. You know? They did lose when I went to see the Jays, but it is what it is. But yeah, no. Fucking awesome experience being able to do that. They hooked it up in the last second, too, for me to go there. I took a plane. I was there for like 18 hours. So you had a dog in you? So I had a dog in me. I was at the game. I was like, you know what? I'm here. They're giving me this cool experience. I'm going to experience it the way you should. With a dog. Dog down your throat. I'm going to. Okay. You're going crazy with the down the throat thing. I hate it like a normal person. Okay. I mean, it did. There technically was. I had a dog down your throat. It was chewed up. I don't care how the dog got there. Fine. But yeah, I did get a hot dog. But I also, I ordered a, because we were having beers. Ooh. All right. So I was like, yeah, we're having some beers at the baseball game and whatever. And then I was like, I'm going to switch it up. You know, I'm going to get something. Nasty. Something filthy. Yeah. Or I don't know. Something cool. I don't know. What do you get? So I see this thing. Halloween drink? No. What is it? Halloween. I forgot about that story. That's a year ago. There was something on the menu. It was called like a manganata or something like that. Ooh. Like, and just perked up. But I was like, oh, what is this? What is this drink? Like, is it like a, because there was like rum in it or something and some other shit. So I was like, is this like a margarita? And the guy's like, yeah, kind of. It's like a, like a frozen margarita, something like that. I was like, okay, cool. I'll do one of those. Bro, this thing shows up. It, it fucking. Bro, it's this big. Yeah. It's like red and yellow overflowing in the cup. Giant straw and a line, right? Ordered it from a dude. A girl who works there was, comes over to us and goes like this, manganata? Oh. No one orders this. You were such a fucking pussy to her in that moment. Bro, she literally was like, manganata? And I was like, that's me. And we were dying, dude. Also, sweetest thing I've ever had in my life. Had two sips and I was like, I don't know if I can have the rest of this. Like, I imagine it was like a mango strawberry type. It was, yeah, like now looking back. Or was the red just like grenadine? No, because you know how like mangoes also have that red in it? It was kind of like that. Let me be very clear about something. I have never had a mango outside of the skin on the outside that Has any amount of red in it. Like near the center. It's like kind of red a little bit by the pit. My brother in arms. Wait, am I thinking of a different thing? You have not had a mango. You're thinking a peach. It is a peach. Okay, yeah, I am. I am thinking of a peach. But it looked like that. Like, you know, it looked like peach colors. The lime is confusing. I mean, no, that makes sense. I'm sure there was tequila in there. Tequila lime is a pairing of time, as old as time. Yeah, spaghetti meatball. Spaghetti meatball, macaroni cheese. Lime and tuna fish. Does Toronto have a Toronto dog? Like, do they put poutine on it or something? No, but they were selling poutine, and I saw a bunch of people getting it. Oh, fuck you, by the way. It's poutine. I didn't get it. Whoa, that's crazy. That's sometimes kids. Poutine. I heard it's poutine. Oh, shit, too. If I say it another, will he appear? Did he say poutine three times? He pops up. I heard, I think Mikey was the one that told me that he was just like, it's not poutine, it's poutine? It's poutine. Really? We'd have to ask him. I'm pretty sure. Because I mean, if you completely grab that at thin air, that'd be interesting. I'm going to be honest with you. If I am misremembering that, I'm concerned about my mental well-being. Same. Because I can remember having a conversation with him and him telling me that. And if this is a creation of my delusion, we have a serious problem. We have a problem in our hands. But I will say that the game was like an awesome experience, especially in Toronto. They give a fuck, dude. Everyone on the street was wearing a jersey. Like, it was just, like, a cool. It must be cool, and I don't know if you, like, have thought about this, but, like, it must be cool to live in a city where there is one MLB team, one NFL team, one NHL team, one NBA team. Yeah, like, I mean. Because, like, here. There's two for everything. It's Yankees-Mets, and then it's Nets-Knicks, and then, you know, like, the only sport, I don't know if it's yet considered a major sport by most people, but, like, the only, like, sport that has one team is the Liberty, the WNBA. Everyone else has two or three. And New York is also one of those cities that a lot of people move to, so you don't get, like, the entire. I mean, other than, honestly, I feel like Knicks fans are, like, everyone's a Knicks fan. Like, I don't think there's a lot of Nets fans in New York. I think there's more Nets fans than you realize. There's. I mean, I think, percentage-wise, like, way more New Yorkers are Nets fans than there are Nets fans. Sure, but, well, they've also. Like, the Nets. Like, the Nets were in Jersey for 30 years. Well, that's why it kind of feels like that. Like, everything else feels sort of, like, split. But that one feels like whatever. But the. But, yeah, like, being in a city like that where everyone, like, cares about this so much, everyone's fucking, you know. Yeah, that's got to be pretty cool. Like, I don't remember where. If, like. I can't really remember, like, us being on tour and, like, any of the, like, cities, like, had their team and they were, like, ride or die for that team. Well, when we were in Austin, we went to that. University of Texas game. I'm not talking college because who fucking, like. Dude. They give a fuck. Dude, you want to hear something funny? I think they care more about the college team. When we were in Austin, I got Becca a Longhorns hat. Yeah. Because last year, anytime we went somewhere, I got her a hat from that place, you know. And we were out yesterday at a child's birthday party. And her and I, like, the kids were, like, playing and we were sitting there. We were sitting near the window. And someone walks up to the window. And I think they're going to point to me, you know. Yeah. Because I'm the sexiest podcaster in the world. Right, exactly. And looks at Becca. Well, first, he walked by and then doubled back. Knocks on the window and goes. Horns down? Horns down to her. And she was, like. Because she didn't know what the fuck. And I was just like, you don't realize what you just. You just did. And she's like, I don't get it. And I was like, they did horns down. I was like, people get, like, shot and in fights for shit like that. They threw all horns down at a woman. Dude, didn't, like, didn't Vince Young get into a fight because someone did horns down to him or something like that? I mean, I imagine. They love Vince Young, too. Well, he's, like, a big, like, in the Austin area. He's big over there. Bro, he gave him a natty. They fucking. He's God. Well, have they won since? Texas? I don't know. All I know is that game was, like, fucking unbelievable. I mean, I remember that game. It was them, USC, and it was Vince Young versus Reggie Bush. Crazy. 2006, I want to say. But, yeah, dude, he doubled back. That's so funny. To tell my poor wife. 2005, okay. Horns down. To tell my poor wife, who knows nothing about. And, like, I'm not saying, like, I know much. Yeah. But, like, I knew that what he was doing was, like. Fuck you. Fuck you, basically. It was just, like, a crazy interaction. It was just a crazy interaction. That's how much they care, dude. It was awesome. But. Have you been to stadiums that, like, you remember, like, their signature food or drink was, like, bananas? I don't indulge at games like that. I usually just go for, like, the chicken tenders and fries. I did get a hot dog because I was like, yo, I'm in this bitch, and it's the World Series. Gotta dog it. You know what I mean? Dog me up. Got a manganata in there. I don't know if I'll go back for the manganata. I will say, last time. Last time we went to a baseball game together. Not the last time we went together, but there was a game we went to, I think, last year or the year before, and you, in your seat, ordered a spicy Marg at a Yankee game. And I was like, this just feels wrong. I mean, you know. It just felt weird. Like. That's like. Joe would shake ass for a spicy Marg. I would. No one is hornier for a spicy Marg than this dude over here. I like a spicy Marg. Loves it. That's why I ordered that. I thought it was a spicy Marg, but it wasn't. It was a big tropical drink, and, you know, the girl was rightfully. Rightfully confused, and, you know, it was a good experience and a good memory, and I won't forget it. And thank you again to Siki, because that was really fucking cool that you were, you know, able to get me tickets to the World Series again. Yeah, that is. Yeah. Now you gotta go next year when it's no one versus no one because of the lockout. That's an Inside Baseball reference. Literally Inside Baseball reference. Like, it could not be more actual Inside Baseball. Inside of the baseball. Yeah. So, well, good for you. I'm glad you had a good time. Yeah. I was getting. My wife was getting yelled at for wearing a Longhorns hat. Dude, that is so funny. Horns down. Literally. He was just like. Yeah. Good God. Yeah, no, that's not. It was, like, violent. It was violent. But we do have some more sponsors. Let's just jump into these before we get into the more conversations here. We have Rocket Money. Okay? Rocket Money.

Oh, ant question. Ant question. He has a question and an ant from him. Ant question. - Question. - Hey. - And question. - Oh. let's see it now bitch that is a new update that's a new update we need to write like a full version of it so it could be like there needs a ballad version of it just like question got a question that he's gonna you're ruining it question you're still going you hit it on the back end a little bit there i know well like see this is the thing if you leave me alone i have to reel you in you'll run around the yard for an hour i will we won't even be able to talk on this you'll track mud into the house i've been described by my wife as a chocolate lab that just runs on hardwood and i think that they just you're not going and i just i think that's accurate that's a great uh damn it i got you um so here's the question would you rather fight 100 blood-lusted 95 year olds or 100 blood-lusty young men or 100 blood-lusty women bloodlusted three-year-olds let's get this out of the way first blood lusted meaning yeah zombie they want to suck our blood or they're just they just want to kill they want to suck our blood so much like through a straw or something they want to kill they want to kill oh so the blood lust is just in like a sense of like they need to murder yes nice they'll do anything to get you i mean which one would i rather fight that's the question i'm gonna say three-year-olds bro i'm like an unlimited amount of three-year-olds how much space do i have do i have the earth because they're definitely not getting me it's like an empty field empty field crushing them and what do i have at my disposal is it anything i can find like if i dig up a rock if you can dig up a rock sure but from base it's a fisticuffs here's the this is what's tough i didn't even consider weapons here's what's tough a hundred year old seems like it'd be the easier one because like i can tire out a hundred year old so quickly or 95 year old is that what you said 95 i don't know if those five years tomato tomato at that point i mean they're already tired yeah i have to sneeze okay which one did you pick i realize you're trying to sneeze all right sorry um see i could tire out a 95 year old 195 year olds by just jogging in a circle for five seconds you know how difficult it is to tire out a five-year-old or something i'm not worried about tiring out the three-year-old or three-year-old dude you should be worried about that really i bet i bet a swift kick to the head would they're bloodlusted i'm not saying i would do that but i'm saying they are bloodlusted i think i think i'm gonna go with the three-year-olds because the 95 year olds have lived enough of life to have a sense of like strategy like they might be able to say like yo if we band together and work a certain way we can get this done the three-year-olds it's anarchy yeah yeah they don't know what the hell they're doing they don't even know that they're a part of a community they may just like be stopping and talking to each other at one point and they might be picking dandelions and stuff like unless they're given like a rage virus of some sort yeah bloodlusted oh yeah they are bloodlusted forget don't forget about the bloodlust i will say i think just from a pure weight standpoint like a 95 year old is going to weigh more than a three-year-old so like that's true you know eventually the 95 year olds all they have to do is like fall on top of me and like eventually i'm it's a wrap but also the three-year-olds like you're gonna like listen i can outrun a three-year-old yeah i do it every other day if not every day but you have to move quicker like i can just briskly walk in the same direction for 10 minutes and i will out like i will get half these 95 year olds and listen i'm not saying they're like freak like still in great shape like rita moreno although i don't know if she's 95 yet and dick van dyke but like if i just walk and tire them out like i don't care how bloodlusted they are they're gonna be like crawling and then i'm just gonna stomp them out with my giant feet well i have a question imagine like these two scenarios in terms of zombies like would you like a charging three-year-old zombie i feel like is scarier than a charging 95-year-old you're bugging no no like an old zombie i'm kind of with you that's not as like i feel like they could be the same they could be bigger than me i know but like a little one coming at you oh from a fear standpoint i feel like it's like scary like they're harder to also i have like played like played with my like two all three of them are basically three years old at one point so like i have experience playing with three three-year-olds yeah they can hurt you like it's not just like because they're so small like i've been kicked in the balls that's because you're you're like playing nice though like if you like if it was like yo me or you but also like yo you would be surprised how quick kids are three-year-olds are dense yeah yeah you know like i i my nephew at three years old you know it i feel like it would be punching like a bowling ball or something like that i'd probably hurt my hand looking for the i wouldn't average weight of a three-year-old average weight of a three-year-old was like 40 pounds 26 to 38 pounds okay 26 pounds never mind bring them on no i i think i think you are like also if i get cornered you'd rather the three-year-olds dude if you get cornered this it seems like strategy i'm taking the 95-year-olds i rip their arms out of their socket because they're falling off anyways i would throw up and i would just you know like you might catch one that had some military experience though it doesn't matter how old yeah but i don't care like one of those they can fight no 95 bro they're 95. i'm sorry like even in the best shape at 95 like they're not beating a 33 year old frankie dude i don't think yeah but a three-year-old won't even know what to do i feel like it would run at me and then what's it gonna do scratch and claw go for your eyes maybe go for your eyes how are they getting to my eyes bro they're gonna like they don't even need to like here's the thing i wear long sleeves okay i'm gonna say like it's not necessarily a zombie thing but like if a three-year-old runs at you and just grabs your leg and holds on to it like then another one and then another one and then another one i can just back up you have more of a chance of them dog piling you than the 95 year olds without a doubt if i threw my shoe as hard as i possibly can at a 95 year old i mean what do you think any of these hold on the three-year-olds going down watch this watch this you want to see how i'm getting away from 95 year old thank you yeah i mean a 90 95 year olds can probably like yeah they're blood luster the average we can't go off of like they're blood lusted yeah oh they're lusting they're lusting for blood we have to go off of the average 95 year old we can't go off of like 95 year olds that are like running marathons and like that i mean bro the average 95 year old in europe's probably like not that bad we didn't specify where they are we're saying average of the earth the average 95 year old is about 166 pounds that's heavy dude that's a heavy purse heavy that's big man that's like super lightweight i yeah i know but it's it's it's less than 25 that's like a pomeranian did you catch pomeranians are like five pounds oh man i would i would i'm not taking the pomeranians i would take both of these over the pomeranians i'm dead because they're fast they're very fast they're very fast they're faster than both the 90 you make a good point that the children could can a three-year-old run like run yeah dude but can they they'd fall still no they could i mean like it depends on the like they wouldn't be able to run down a street without falling i mean yeah they can maeve does it all the time every now and then she trips but like for the most part she runs and like runs a blood also children get tired quickly yeah not nearly you can just grow running running though running like i know you get tired like oh children have way more energy than a 95 year old dude blood lusted it's so much blood lusting for it and they love it i don't know if this is a hot take i think you might be toast either way i don't know if you can do it i don't know either uh because even like doing enough damage 100 times without you're going to get tired without getting dog piled or something it's like you are the gorilla but i have a better chance of catching my breath with the 95 year olds because i think i said three-year-olds originally but i'm i'm reverting now i think i might go 95 year olds because think about it if it takes just walking in a quick like three miles per hour in a direction in order to catch your breath that's way easier like with kids dude kids will not let up i'm telling you i play fight with and play wrestle kids all the time yeah the 95 year olds can strategize though what if they all lock arms and like that's what i'm saying come at you that's a problem that's something that's a problem that's something you're right that is the strategy is big can i could i like well how much money again or is it just it's just we're not doing it for money yeah yeah okay yeah what if i like will cut off like three of my fingers in order to give all the 95 year olds dementia what does that even mean what does that mean wouldn't that be worse just like it just like i i get it like a bit of a like an advantage oh you're saying trade yeah like i'll trade three fingers they they all have dementia pink panther is here coach and spotify are teaming up to bring music and style together and they want you to be part of it grab your friends and head to

does yeah because like in the middle of trying to fight me they'd just like break out into singing somewhere over the rainbow that would be a great song that would be terrifying that would be terrifying that is a really good i would think that it's over yeah i think something's happening something's wrong if they just stop they're just like somewhere over the rainbow i would probably just walk towards them i'm like well it's over now i don't want to be way up high and then they snap back into it yeah bloodlusted bloodlust i forgot about the bloodlust yeah you can't forget about that i think it's a toughie that is a toughie i don't know if there's a right answer i there's definitely i'm with you in that 95 year olds probably move slower so you can kind of like back up and catch your breath a little more but they they will have the ability to strategize because they have 95 years of experience bro think about this though like if they surround you it's kind of like you're toast if they surround me i just drone better style lower the shoulder and run as hard as i can in one direction but wouldn't you rather run into three people and then you're like oh my god i'm three year olds yeah that's a good point i can probably clear a couple of them i feel like they dive at your legs and you go down if you fall it's over no i'm jumping yeah anywhere if you fall on either of them you're you're yours yeah you can't go down you can't go down you can't go down because of a couple things mainly the bloodlust well the bloodlusting is huge i think if but like think about this two 95 year olds fall on your back you ain't getting up you need like six babies on your back and that's only how much like like not even 200 pounds i could get up i mean speak for yourself i i can get up with 260 pound 95 year olds on my back is is there an argument to them being harder to hit because smaller target harder to hit with your fists sure because you have to strike down which takes way more energy uppercuts fellas uppercuts but even that's way harder and there it goes funny bone was it hysterical uh i feel like i feel like it's harder like uppercutting a three-year-old because you have to like you have to like scoop it yeah it's all kicks for three-year-olds i think it's all kicks wait take way more energy because your legs are heavier technically am i bloodlusted because they're coming at me i mean that's your choice i would be bloodlusted i don't know well i don't think you can have i mean i guess technically if one side is bloodlusted the other side would be in defense i would be defensively bloodlusted you'd be defensive lusted yeah what if you had a bat oh my god dude oh a vampire bat i don't know why that was so funny to this day because you didn't say it correctly i said it very correctly vampire bat i'm not i'm not doing this fake pronouncing wordscape with you what but the bloodlusted is crazy the bloodlust is a good point now how many if it was a million dollars per person how many do you think you can get through and they came one at a time like royal rumble style like they came two minutes after the next there was a it was like hell in a hell no like royal rumble style right i had the match right oh i was thinking like elimination chamber sure i mean yeah but like that's only six royal rumble gets up to 30. yeah yeah yeah um no weapons no weapons damn eventually you get tired sure but like if it's one-on-one and you're tired do you have a better chance i mean we're over here arguing this the number has to be all of them no if you send me a one-on-one with a three-year-old i'll be out there all day you'd be kicking field goals yeah dude you'd be surprised i'd be floored you'd be surprised one child can't like yeah i'm not saying one and also they're not human children they're vampire children these are bloodlusted vampire bloodlusted children because we would never let's make this very clear we're pacifists we don't want to harm anybody oh who would we do that to but bloodlust you put me in a corner you're bloodlusting i'm defending myself what's that animal there's an animal that if you put if you put them in a corner they like kill you to get out of it i think it's any animal now that i think about it like a honey badger or something no but there's like there's one animal that's like fuck is it a mink that like if you put them in a corner and like it's like mud around them they'll die before they go through the mud or something like that oh that is a weird one i don't know i know rats will eat through you yeah that was like a japanese torture thing yeah oh yeah remember that it was just like they put a can on you and they weigh it down with a rat inside or they light the can on fire and the cat the cat the rat digs through your that's gonna be the worst way to go i mean the bamboo sounds way also bad what's the bamboo where they like lay you because bamboo is one of the fastest growing things on the planet and they'll like lay you over a bed of like young bamboo shoots and like they'll lay you there and like tied up and basically the bamboo shoots will grow through your body i have never heard that yeah that's a bad one i've heard that i've gone through many a rabbit hole of like medieval torture like the worst ways to go i mean they just use that big cranking one where they pull your arms and legs that sounds bad that one's bad that sounds you got any good ones there was one where they would put you in a boat like they put you in a boat and then another boat on top of you like upside a boat yeah boats like little rowboats and they would like shove honey and milk down your throat until you're like expanded and then cover you in honey and then like bugs and snakes and rats would come in and eat you that doesn't even make sense wait i'm very confused about you put a boat they'd feed me until i was stuffed and then they would just put me in a boat what was the point of the boats i think it's just like a dark place that like bugs like to go and they would just eat you let me be very clear i'm not dying from bugs on a boat oh man you might be dying from bugs on a boat he will i mean i don't know i mean someone will because they'll jump off i will uh i saw the ones that i've seen that are terrible or like they tie people to like posts and it's like high tide rolls in yeah oh and like it like just rolls in and it just rolls in and it's just goes above their mouth at high tide vlad i think vlad the impaler would put you like sit you on a stake and like the stake was like really really wide but your body would just slowly go down it anyway from your butt yeah from your butt and then you would just like your innards would just right up sometimes sometimes it would the dollar they would make them with the is the longer that you would have to it would take you to go down on it so you technically want a pointy that's a really bad one you're telling me if i put my butt yeah on a dull steak yeah that my butt would just accept it eventually it would and then it would split my fucking body in half yeah my body doesn't know to stop i mean it can't it's fighting gravity gravity always wins i think they would like tie weights to your ankles so you would uh people are sick there's other ones that are i don't think this is like for like death but it is a form of torture that always got my skin crawling was when they would put bamboo shoots under the fingernails and they would hammer them in you love bamboo you do like i don't like it i mean i don't mind it i think watching pandas eat bamboo is very cute that's as far as i go yeah there's some crazy like torture stuff the drop on the head you know that i i can understand why that drives someone crazy but like i tend to believe that i am stronger than that you aren't i i bet it would be less than seven minutes of dropping on your head i mean we're not gonna do it we're not gonna be those youtubers we could we're not gonna be those youtubers like all right we tried out seven medieval testing torture techniques you know i i uh i waterboarded my board i said poet i waterboarded myself once on purpose you ever do it i think i have yo it's it's tough how i did it in the shower like a rag over your face yeah dump water on it yeah you cannot breathe like you can't take you can't suck in anything look up other crazy to torture techniques let's be that why are you let's be then let's be those podcasters you know what i don't get this thing the stocks that's just a public shaming yeah it's like just you know it's just like look at this dumb ass with his bare red ass out in the middle of the fucking town square red ass yeah because they would like hit them with stuff oh they would spank them i think they would right i think that yeah it's just like uh you were probably on a different website no i'm serious i think it was like they would like put them in the stocks and they would have to like hit them and their legs would give out do you see what the pirates would do walk the plank walk the plank but then they would also like tie you and pull you underneath the boat all the way to the other side of the like barnacles oh that's it would it would like your body would be scraped along the bottom side that is miserable so you're drowning and being scraped that's that's wait how would they do that though how would they get the rope on the other side i like that question how would they because i know they had a way of doing it but in my head it's old so it's stupid i don't know rope yeah but like what are they going to be like like someone swim under and grab this rope for me so we can torture this guy if you throw the rope in front of the boat and the boat goes over it don't you have it on both sides now that's a big rope though and they had big ships you definitely need rope that big i don't know i don't know that's a crazy one what other ones you got and i know you're a sick freak and you love this shit you horny little fuck you want me to look them up yeah that's a little walking the plank is i mean that's just more like i mean that's much better than any of the ones that we've talked about i'll be honest with you walking the plank you know how i feel about the ocean but there's a small part of me that's like i could survive i mean i just gotta float and hope for the best which the best is probably not coming especially back then oh the one that i saw that was crazy was like they put people in like a metal horse and they light a fire underneath it a metal horse screaming bull yeah the bull bull the screaming bull the pair of oh i know this one the pair of anguish what's the pair of anguish so they would put this in uh mouths of people that sometimes butts but mostly mouths of people that were like speaking wrong or like behind your back and they would just slowly open it like a vice like this yeah and it would just like essentially stop you from being able to talk and also be painful okay you would just break your jaw yeah it would like slowly expand your jaw like oh that's not cool but like there's no barnacles i mean that's fucking horrible is that the bull one yeah this is your screaming bull yeah that one's crazy that is like that is unbelievably nightmarish the guy who um created it for like the emperor or whatever they tossed him in there and did it to him not cool you heard of that one right no it's a they build a metal brass big brass bowl and they would put someone in it and then they would light a fire underneath and it would cook them and their screams would come out of like little tiny holes in the bull's nose and it sounded like a bull screaming humans are disgusting that one is fucked up i don't like it you heard it here first rat torture not into that at all that's the thing we talked about no the tongue tear they used to do that back in like ancient egypt right they'd be like you stole give me your tongue thumb screw i have a feeling i'm gonna hate that they would just tie your thumbs together like this screw it in it's just like uncomfortable sometimes they would put it behind their back like that and yeah that sucks but bro how do you know all this a lot of rabbit holes he's a freak the iron maiden actually wasn't real do you know that like they never really i don't know what it is to begin with the thing from uh the the the thing from uh matilda oh the the chokie the chokie yeah oh it'd be like spikes on yeah they never really used that i think was more for fear i mean why not that's a cool looking fucking thing the heretic fork's a good one so that what they would do is they would tie i love i was talking about this like oh god this is such a cool move so they would tie like a kind of like a pitchfork like a mini pitchfork underneath here yeah so you can't like you always had to look up i think it was like a prayer thing or like a religious thing and every time you'd like your neck got tired and try to look down it would pierce you not good i saw that like there's like allegedly some military training that does that where they like put pins in their collars yeah and like to like keep the person's posture they have to be like that and if they go forward it'll fucking poke them i could be making it up but i think it's big in the japanese military like perfect posture and stuff like that i love how you're not sure but you're willing to say that i'm not sure who it is but i'm pretty sure it's these because i'm pretty sure it's the japanese i'm about 72 sure 72 it's not bad uh sorry for the history lesson my bad yeah i got excited i mean yeah you don't like history you strike me as a history guy you got to know where you were to
