live your story with coach learn more at coach.com welcome back to the welcome back to the basement yard frank how's it going bud he's upset and you upset i couldn't be more upset we're all upset because youtube is uh being a little bit a little you know homophobic say it say it well just be careful you're pointing at me you saw that point shit yes no no no damn you actually did it and this this counts in advance in addition to so for those of you guys that don't know if you're seeing this you're probably a little confused you're probably doing the old timey like cleaning of the eyes thing that they did back in the old cartoons this is attached to an episode that we previously recorded yes we're wearing different outfits joe is also what you don't see he's wearing a butt plug why because we have to revisit the conversation of heated rivalry that's not why i'm wait hold on i'm not wearing it wearing it like you have one we have to we have to no they also technically don't know we're wearing different clothes yet that's not why i'm wearing it that's not why i'm wearing it that's true we had to record the the beginning of this episode again because we put out an episode talking about heated rivalry and we watched the first and well i watched two episodes and they watched the first episode so we all were getting an idea of the show and we started reviewing it because that's what people wanted and we put it out on youtube for our patrons a week ahead uh and it just kept getting age restricted yes why because youtube was just like hold on they were twirling their mustache i imagine big youtube yeah has a has a twirly mustache mm-hmm and they were just like what are they talking about we got to make sure they don't pander this to to the youngest to their defense it was a pretty graphically discussed episode yeah i mean they were probably right i i will take full blame uh i think that i didn't hold back on the review you you you you are the hollander in this situation no the blame if the blame is no no if the oh okay yeah yeah yeah oh right i have to take the blame um but yeah so we're long shaft of the blame right be careful um but we we have to re-discuss it so we can put it in this episode uh but we don't want to throw out the episode completely so we're just going to redo our review of heated rivalry because last time it got a little too hot a little too heated uh and uh so we we're going to just be careful by the way hot the way that we hot in the language that we used we didn't get like hot and bothered or at least i didn't over here i think i can confirm you didn't he seemed to get a little hot to get a little h and b yeah h and b and then they were doing this and then they were doing yeah and then so you guys will never be able to cross reference this because now this is basement yard lost me oh so now frank's gonna so now joey was sweating yeah and he opened his chest midway through the conversation opened my chest like his shirt you like zipped your quarter zip down you know how's that catamaran he just got off of no no no all right well but he was just like he was doing this like an old-timey racist southern woman you know what i'm talking about you know what i'm talking about yeah like that's what you were doing so no there's no way to there is no way yeah to cross-reference what we're saying it's fine but we watched the first episode of heated rivalry and now uh you know time has passed i watched a lot more of it and now i know what happens in this first season okay yeah so i have an idea i'm not gonna spoil the entire thing don't worry i mean we're definitely gonna spoil the first episode and probably the second one um but like we're gonna spoil a little bit of that but we also need to talk about it in a way that we are uh allowing our video overlords to accept you know we gotta we gotta you know we gotta get around this so they don't unalive us you know what i'm saying yeah yeah we need to make it work we need to make it work we need to make it work we need to make it work we need to make it work we need to make it work we need to make sure that we're using the right terminology so big youtube yeah doesn't take the as you were saying the long shaft of blame and giving it to you again right you know and just you're walking on thin ice yeah i think if anything first of all skating on ice hockey um now we're here now we're here now we're here let's just let's just go for it heated rivalry i knew going in that this show was g a g a y and it gets really off to a a good start immediately well so people told us to watch the show which we so many people we openly were just like hold on a sec like take a step back right you know like we get that the internet is like fully shipping us but we were like wow are we proud of frank or what and i just pointed um another one yeah oh cursing but i'm probably proud of you for knowing that that that terminology i that's old that's a that's a term as old as time don't ruin it yeah but they were just like you guys have to watch this and we were both like before we recorded that patreon episode we were just like why did they why like they really are like really driving this home but joey after that episode he came to aunt nine he was like okay he popped his collar on his you know vineyard vines quarter zip yep and vineyard vines and uh he was like let's watch it give the people what they want yeah give a nice review initial reviews yes yes uh how do i how do we how do we make sure we we we kind of i want to say i thought that there would be more of a warm-up before we got to you thought that they had to make the call to the bullpen before they just started pitching well okay i i thought we would slap shot of something first i mean before you get a slap shot you need a wrist shot i think is what you're referencing i know hockey no that's not that's not how that would happen too much references now it's it's not going to be a review okay we're not going to know what we're talking what i meant because i'm confused by what you're what i meant was i thought we would see hockey first to some extent before like a kiss well i did see it before like a kiss um yeah well you need a wine and dine aunt he's a little like you need to you need to take him out for and then he'll order the lobster yeah there's a lot of sexual tension between the two main characters and they're i in my eyes they kind of like signify sydney crosby and alexander ovechkin now imagine those two dudes were getting in love in the nhl in 2008 like they had like blackberries in this show yes i think we what we said in our initial review as people that grew up in that time that was the we were we were 16 years old when the show when the first episode is set because i understand that there are some time jumps what a tough time to to be to be gay in hockey yeah i mean anywhere anywhere let's make that abundantly clear but professional sports definitely in professional sports because i don't think at that point in time there had been any openly gay athletes i'm not sure i think michael sam was the first but that wasn't until like 2010 2011 wow i thought it was after that but i don't know regardless we understand what it was like because back then you know we've openly said like you know you use hand lotion your friends call you gay yeah you know you you you you you like girls you know you're a romantic that was gay too back apparently that's coming back as gay don't get me started because simp when people are like you like your girlfriend you like your wife you're a simp yeah i'm like what am i supposed to do i don't get me started on it you know how i feel about it my brain melts down when i try to figure that out god i hate that but it it really did like you know you're seeing like the first episode you're like all right it's like about an hour long maybe like 50 minutes long and you're like maybe at the end they'll do like a little like wink and nod to like this is going to be romantic yeah they like they they got in there like 12 minutes in oh they're lusting they're there and they're like lusted and busted can we say that no i don't think i'm careful judges take that out i think we're okay no that's fine i think lb a little lb a little lb yeah yeah and like the camera shots are like like it's like a shot like zooming in on like a load of laundry you know what i'm saying like not a literal load of laundry like a load of laundry yeah oh well sorry balls can we say that now oh oh you're talking about a full bag a full bag yeah yeah yeah yeah a full bag a dumpster bag of laundry yeah exactly you know let's be careful here and like the like they're like panting like there's that scene where they're like they get to the the gym and they're like working out next to each other and it's like oh you know and like they're just working out yeah yeah and it's have you ever done that by the way like do you go to the gym and if someone's on the treadmill next to you you're like i'm racing this guy absolutely not really yeah no no way i mean i usually lose but like if someone gets on the treadmill next to me i'm like i'm not getting off until they get off it depends how many treadmills were around if it's just me and them no it's whoever's right next to me i just i just meant like i'll do it to a woman too if she's there i'm just like i'm not getting off until she i don't my own zone. First of all, I hate cardio. So my only mentality doing cardio. i've told you guys this is like how much until this is done right yeah i need to get off here as quickly as i can that's why i'm trying to create a competition so maybe i'd stop focusing on that i'm like how fast is she going i'm gonna go quicker and then i just burn out and i'm on the floor but that happened to those guys and they were on the floor across from each other then they got some crotch shots going they got crotch shots i think weren't they like sitting like open-legged like a praying mantis yeah yeah yeah they were like almost scissoring from across the room and then he was just like we can't say that they were doing arts and crafts it's true yeah they were they were doing arts and crazzers they were they were doing arts and crafts playing rock paper scissors rock paper scissors scissors from across the room and he's just like there was tension was building though he's like take my water yeah and it was just like whoa and then he starts drinking it and he's just like more yeah and that's when you know you're like this is this episode i mean we knew what it was can you imagine being like um like a a america is known for the people in the south is where like the open racists and homophobes are okay okay that's where like the open ones are they're sprinkled everywhere but you find them most the phobes and could you imagine being like a 70 year old just racist piece of shit because racism and homophobic tendencies tend to go hand in hand just like well i like how i'm gonna watch this hate a robbery is about two the two men playing a game yeah you know play and and then you find out they're watching that they're playing a game all right yeah the game of love the game of love i will say this and i said it before i will continue to say it again from what i saw from the episode i thought it was well acted i thought that are those both those kids first like job you know that's a really good question i don't think maybe not their first job but like their first big i i think the dude that did uh that played ilia the russian i think he played like was in other stuff but nothing on the the scale of the scale of this in terms of people talking about it yeah but i thought it was well acted i thought the story from what i saw was well done you know typical romance i could tell you that first of all when i watched the first episode i was like damn they're getting after it but then like i watched the second episode um also i said this when we recorded it the first time this is a real thing but i really i really thought those episodes were 30 minutes so like it felt like they were flying by but they were an hour long and i was like time all right time flies when you're having a good time it's got its hooks in me i will say that oh yeah it's got something else in you maybe don't no but it's it's got its hooks in me for sure um but then as the story progresses you're like oh okay this is like a you can kind of see where it's going in the first two episodes but when you watch the rest of it you're like this is it's got its hooks in you it's a it's a feel good i mean i'm gonna be a typical lefty and say like you know i love a good love story you know like i of course like there are certain things i can and can't connect to but i thought it was well done from what i saw you know i i know that people have said like continue watching i haven't yet but it gets to a point where like it continues the story and and it is very much in the zeitgeist people are talking about it and i think people are talking about it because it goes from zero to 60 in like five seconds dude and also like the the way the the russian dude is he's he's the dom like he's dom and uh what's his name hollander russianly and he and the way that he sort of like flirts at times like the text messages that he sends are hilarious yeah because they text each other under a pseudonym jane and lily jane and lily and people like i think if they took all of five seconds to see that and figure it out they'd put it together well that was another thing it's like you're getting a text from jane and it's like oh we play boston tonight are you hard it's like they're gonna know who that is come on yeah but like in between the sexual messaging it's just like like very in-depth stuff about hockey you know what i mean good luck in the playoffs i'm joking yeah exactly just like we're getting excited we're getting excited a little bit but yeah it's like stuff like that like those hilarious but yeah go ahead i think it'd be remiss to not bring up the fact that how like bad shane hollander is at kind of like yeah flirting and hiding it a little bit because i i think that the story that i saw is that there is a sense of being able to be myself but i do need to restrict it to no that's not what he means i mean when like other people people are like oh yo your boy's on tv talking about the russians oh he's not my boy he's like a middle schooler we're not in love and kissing yeah it's like bro be a little more cool here well maybe that's part of the layering of the story that he is not allowed to be at an emotional maturity level to deal with something like that because society at that time didn't allow people to be open enough to deal with that on their own oh i like fucking ebert ropert i don't even know who that is i know the name but i don't know who that is did you say you ate something ebert ropert oh i'm like ebert and ropert you thought that he said something it was like whoa that's like i ate ropert i don't what is it what is it that you want to you want to you don't know who ebert i think it's two people actually i think it's like roger ebert and and mike ropert but mike feels wrong but they were like uh famous movie reviewing duo that would like they no i think they're just they were very good at breaking down symbolism and allegories and film that's why i know those names the drake song two thumbs up ebert and ropert i was likening myself to the skills of ebert and ropert and saying that i was able to break it down because as you're sitting there and googling and ogling and making a you know oh my god these guys are uh baking a cake together yeah they were they looked like a pisces at one time they oh did they no but they took turns i mean you you did watch so like during the initial review you were open that you watched more episodes than we did yes and then since then you have continued to watch yeah so it's got its hooks i mean yeah good i mean i'm not what am i gonna say don't watch no no i'm just saying i'm not waiting for you guys to watch every episode and review together i'm saying i'm i'm off to the races here it's got its hooks in me what am i gonna do no one is yeah i got the bug i got the hockey bug oh okay i was gonna say what i got the bug you know you gotta be careful they people thought it was an illness at one point in time games yes oh that's not what i meant and then i believe in the dsm3 maybe earlier versions it was diagnosed when you start talking about acronyms i get diagnosed diagnostic statistic manual it's like the like say it again two times fast diagnostic statistic manual diagnostic statistic manual it is we're on the dsm5 it's pretty good but in previous iterations i never told you i think i've i've told you this story i had a class in college abnormal psychology and we just went through like mental illnesses and understanding blah blah it was a very interesting class and we took a test and one of the tests was what was pre what what social norm now was once diagnosed as a mental illness and i knew our teacher was gay so i went to her and i was like listen i know the answer or i think i know it but i don't want to write this down you think i'm a piece of shit and she's like what do you think it is i was like i don't want to say it and she's like what is that i was like okay she goes yes okay and i was like all right but it was categorized oh you like got up in the middle of a test yeah because i'd finished i'd finished and i and i went to hand it in yeah and five and um and five uh but it was it was diagnosed as a mental illness when you said the bug i thought you were like doing no no i meant like you know you i'm hooked but uh i will say that this doesn't happen often even though people think i look like everyone in the world but there's a guy in the show that i actually pink panther is here coach and spotify are teaming up to bring music and style together and they want you to be

niche i don't know but if you've ever seen the tiktoks where people take like like they'll take like timothy chalamet's face and it'd be like this is what tiktok looks like and he'll be like this is what tiktok looks like and he'll be like this is what tiktok looks like and he'll be like this is what tiktok looks and I was like well I saw that and I thought it was like a joke or something but then I saw the dude on and you were fully like yeah well I saw him like I think maybe it was at the Golden Globes or something but he was on like a carpet and they were taking photos of him and I was like oh I was like that kind of looks like a handsome squid version of me i i don't know if this will be a spoiler does he bake cakes at a certain point a lot of batter oh all right well i don't know what you guys are saying no no answer mine first then we'll unpack what are you asking about piggyback if he's if if he if he is also baking cakes with their jane and lily he's he's in love he there's a love story with him good get into spoilers i'm saying like past episode one here i think we are way past that's what i'm saying i'm just just freaking yeah i don't even know who he's referencing that arc is very interesting okay the dude's name is kip i believe but he's got an interesting arc okay second to last episode something happens oh my god something something oh wait so you finished it well yeah okay well yeah okay i mean yeah uh but yeah when you go how if you were to do the cisco roper are you giving it how many what is there what is the four thumbs up was like really good i honestly all jokes aside like i do think the show started out super hot and there's a lot of gay scenes i don't want youtube but like there's a there like right off the bat you're kind of like lustful lust let's get after it like that but then it it more it slows up but i think that's the natural like way that would go anyway most tv shows you know first of all they used to be called pilots because this was the show that was getting the show off the ground they would have to show that so they would have to end with uh with with some you know like punch metaphorically to get people to be like i need to come back i need to come back for episode two three four whatever as we are talking about this it's because it starts at fucking a hundred yeah like a hundred dude and like no issue with that but any show that starts that aggressively like you're just going to be like whoa i was not expecting that at first what is the show there was a show recently that was like on netflix and it's like and everyone record their reaction to watching it because the opening scene is like this guy and this woman laying in bed and he's just hogging like he's just i don't i remember you know what i'm talking i remember the trend i don't remember the show i don't i mean i remember when people would record to the documentary that came out where it was like the mom was cyberbullying her own daughter well yeah no that i watched i don't remember this was like all of them this was my event like during covid or maybe a little after that it was a while ago but like people would record themselves watching like oh watch the beginning uh of this i think it was i think it was a either a tv show or like a series or something like that but the opening scene so i'm like i have to see this because everyone's always like oh my god but it's a dude laying there he's hogging and i was like yo i don't know no warm-up no warm-up it's like title screen right there that's how the show uh the boys is that show goes like and not even just like one episode every episode of that show goes from zero to a hundred yeah instantly quick and like you might if you've not seen that show it's on prime video you might think like oh how like i'm talking like exploding wangs you see how we see what i did there that wasn't what i wanted to say yeah like that quick yeah and it was like so like any show that is like that it's going to be a little bit of whiplash i think it's going to be a little bit of whiplash i think it's going to i think that you know i saw like some of the people saying like you know of course because people that don't know our show are going to see the clips of us talking about it and just be like you know this is i think it's an important level again let me be lefty frank for a sec i think it's important to have queer representation in tv and film i think that from what i have seen it's a well-done show i don't i don't talk to the president of the gays so i don't know how the gay community feels about it is that by the way i was ellen degeneres for a while oh she's definitely she was she she was taken from her post um i i don't know who would be in that role right now i don't know andy cohen is is is in conversation he's at least on the board of directors i was thinking andy dick when you said that i was like what andy dick has got some other stuff going on that needs to figure out before wouldn't know but you didn't see that clip that went viral of like someone found him on the street like od'ing oh god yeah yeah jesus um no i did not see that yes sir any idea on who the president of like the gays is would it be lady gaga wouldn't it technically be like jonathan bailey right now he's like that's a good one that you know what though he might not be he might not have newly elected he just got this newly elected i don't even think of an elected president yet i think like a og yeah like you need like someone that is like consistently like that's why i said lady gaga i think that she has probably earned her right on the mount rushmore sure you know who i really like who's the dude oh god what is he in what was the show with steve carell morning show no uh four seasons something like that okay yes do you know that show yes the black dude coleman domingo bro that guy he might be the current president he could be bro that guy's style is unbelievable dude i remember the first time i saw him in euphoria becca and i were watching the episode where it was just him and rue and i was like yo this guy is good that that show by the way mad underrated euphoria loves that show or four seasons four seasons you know i started the other show you're talking about euphoria i think euphoria is appropriately right yeah yeah it's a very public but like four seasons i feel like went under the radar like that shit was fire uh i didn't you know you want to know something it's filming like at the jersey shore like it was oh there's new yeah they're doing a new season i didn't so we i think beck and i watched like the first two episodes it's good and we just never picked it back up i liked it i love the cast so much yeah i mean you can't go wrong with will forte tina fey steve carell coleman domingo like forte's in that i forgot um but yeah just just kind of bringing it back full circle in in terms of heated rivalry like they they they didn't leave anything for the imagination i think you know that that they they definitely like you know like you ever heard of like don't show what's the what's the what's the term like don't show them the cat let them know there's a cat there schrodinger's cat no no no schrodinger's has something different don't show hole no i've heard that one that's also different and you take the ant could take the shaft of blame after if this one also gets yeah also they didn't follow that rule a lot of butt a lot of dude round round butts i i'm not gonna i wasn't gonna say it really round no i don't i don't i didn't russian dude like impressive dude i don't know i don't i don't i i didn't russian dude like impressively round i'm like wow that's round dude dude i i didn't see anything about the butts that you see they'd be like talking about the dudes the russian dude's butts are right there i mean they're in good shape because they're athletes i i didn't see anything that doesn't mean that you're not being like bro jesus like the guy's got a bbl basically bbl a lot of i guess i you weren't looking in the right place i guess i was not yeah slow blinking over there because i mean i wasn't gonna i was holding my breath while i was round really round it is were that's the only that's what i thought the whole time interesting yeah but yeah i mean definitely i think if if you want to see a good love story start off aggressive go watch the show yeah uh definitely like you know it gets hooks in you dude i'm telling you if you continue watching it you're gonna be like that was a good show yeah was there any more hockey yeah oh nice there's like there's like uh you know because the first episode i don't think it's gonna be a good show i don't think it's gonna be a good show i don't think it's gonna be a good show i don't think it's gonna be a good show i don't think it's gonna be a good show i don't think it's gonna be a good show right but they do the sneaky thing where they actually don't play hockey they kind of just film on the ice that what do you what what what is that you know what i mean no nope they film on the ice like they're just like what are you gonna show a whole hockey game yeah that's what he wants he's watching it because he's he's that guy that's just like i like some hockey let's go watch this i don't think there was a puck until 45 minutes yeah slap shot well now i'm watching heated rivalry for the hockey i want to see i want to see how good they are just a little bit of both that's it you know that's it right i wanted a little more hockey you know like what are you that's like going to the job for that yeah you know i'm here i'm just here for the hog i'm not here for the russian round but just you know just say the quiet part out loud my friend it's okay you can watch it oh that's so funny you know yeah so well watching it for the hockey is great um but yeah a lot of stuff there uh but apparently there's like a lot of books too so like yeah it's based on a series of books and like i think we looked it up during our initial review the first i think the first one is called heated rivalry and there's like game changer game changers the long shot the long shot that's the one crazy common risks common goal common goal that's a good one that one feels like a like a like a dp so we were so close so close so close i was just using letters i'm letting you know now but doesn't that sound like that though common uh i i think the common goal would be in reference to reaching a oak it's like i'm saying really yeah say it really fast say it really fast oh that's not like like like you know gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boy's soul first of all you know you know don't do this already in the beginning you both were wrong about what i was saying and then that was completely not what i was i'm not jumping in that Well you've seen that episode. I don't know what you're talking about. You've never seen sunny? Oh, you know that you know that episode of sunny where they do the play where they do the the night man I saw it. Okay.

You gotta pay a troll toad to get in Yeah, I can recite that whole episode. I think line for line. It's a great episode. Honestly one of the best ever on television Yeah, well But yeah, yeah I don't know how when we send it off to past selves how the vibes of the episode are if it continues this yeah Well, listen, we yeah, I don't know We don't we apologize for the because we're obviously in different stuff you know like and and It wasn't our fault.

We love you. We appreciate you and Thank you Hmm and speaking of holes I have something for you boys holes. Oh Okay, so this has been bouncing around tick-tock. I'm curious. How would you count the number of holes on this salt shaker? What would be your method? Kim Kim, let's just start with Like what's the first hole you're looking at? I'm I'm looking not at a first hole. I'm looking at a series of holes Right, and then how would you count those? Which one I'm doing the circle around the middle hole, so I would go with Those six like this here. Yeah, okay, you count those first I would segment it that way because it's easier for my eyes to do that Interesting personally, so like I would do that I so I see that that's That's six then one in the middle and then the five dots around the six dots around the end So seven thirteen, right thirteen holes, so you'd count it this six in the circle Yeah, one in the middle and then the outer ring. Yes. Oh, that is very interesting It's easier for my eyes to break it up like that yeah, cuz like I break it up in them I take the middle part of it break it up and Then I can count the outside and inside easier personally. Why what are you guys doing? I feel like if we added one more ring of circles you're not counting this I Mean to be but that's not that's you're asking me how I would count this one, okay? I would only really count this if I was in a very awkward like socially awkward situation I'd be like let me just count these things cuz I don't want to look up I think I would start in the upper left Like there and just kind of like get the ones that are near there and then kind of go What's like to the right near? there isn't you go one one to the one across mid and then maybe that one in the middle and then like maybe I would Continue that way. I don't know. I'm also thinking of it. I would also count it by line. So one five eight 12 13 honestly what you said I'm like I feel like I would do the opposite where I would count the out out in so I would go one two three four five and Then count the inner ring and then the one in the middle yeah I just in my head the way that it works is to break it up into different sections, you know, and in just Looking at that shape that seems like the easiest way to do that to look at it as three different shapes, bro I'm staring at this and I'm like There's holes appearing and disappearing. Yeah, like I'm like, it's like a fucking is tripping me out I think I would do just lines. So I would go one two, three four five Six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen just lines that makes sense Yeah, I think I would do just lines so I would go one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen just lines that makes sense I I honestly don't think I would be good at counting this usually if I have to do something like this I do it more than once cuz I'm not very like I love I'll Randomly being like the other day. I was in the steam room and I was like, let me count the tiles in here and Like oh you got a little bit of the you got you got the you know what I mean? You got a little bit going on a smidge. I would say at least a smidge. I like to count stuff Counting is cool because it's something I know I'm good at Counting. Yeah, how high? Pretty I counted the tiles. Yeah, but I did it I did it by using mathematic equations, so I was just like I'm not gonna sit here and count every single tile But I'll count across I'll count down and I know no area of that wall and then I'll look over and do that one Sometimes I'll get into this mood where I'll just start counting my steps like I'll be walking on the sidewalk and I'm like one two Yeah, I'll get up to over a hundred and I'm like, what am I doing, dude? What I used to do is when I used to walk home from the train when I lived in Astoria I would at a random point on the walk. I would say a number guessing How many steps it would be from where I was to my house out loud out loud So I'd be like on like dip Mars and like stuff Steinway yeah and I'd go like 1,406 and then I would walk and count every step and then I'd give myself one time to adjust and then just play a little game of myself did you ever like nail it yes one time really like like nailed it like you nailed it like I was like Hollander dude like yeah well Hollander he was the nail he received yeah he received the nailing yeah from the hammer yeah right exactly um but I was like a couple blocks away and I was like you know like 684 and then I was like two blocks away and I was like I can adjust but no I'm gonna stick with 684 and it was 684 did you start like these were your normal steps but then you no no no I and like I kept the same stride and pace you know I I did my best you know there was no like puddles I was jumping over that's funny I just love doing stuff like that I count stuff you count stuff sometimes sometimes I'll count uh do you know how many uh stairs you you have in your house exactly no well I live in an apartment okay well what about uh yeah that you don't count so then he does know how many he has zero so let's say your top floor do you know how many the exact number of stairs it is from your middle floor to your top floor I feel like it's important to know I don't know that in my mom's house that I grew up in I think it's because like you ever carrying something and it's blocking your vision I know my steps oh I do this oh I just I stop and I wipe my foot so like I go down and I like I kick my foot around yeah just to see like another step am I on the ground I could also tell by the um like the texture of the ground if it's wood if it's a tile or something I also am so bad at that that if I if something is impeding my vision I've because my mom's house is like two steps and then like a little landing and then the stairs go up like that so coming down those steps and getting to the landing and you're just anticipating another step and I just go boom like that we're just like because I'm like thinking there's another step and I just like hit the hit the deck or some shit but I've done that so many times in my life Joey's childhood house also had famously one of his staircases was missing a step so like it was like it was a hole like on several accounts like several occasions we had told people like careful of the sixth step and they'd say why like because there isn't one and it was just a hole into the floor you know it happens things fall apart at times and they last a long time which is an issue but was it a six now stairs to the basement yeah if it was you know the middle floor or something that'd be that'd be tougher to explain yeah no one we were only we were going into the basement I'm sure we were the ones that caused it to break in the first place I'm certain of it I mean my mom would do laundry in the basement like that's where the laundry machine yeah but your mom has steps like a little pixie you know what I mean like she walks like she basically floats on air she floats down the stairs we were running down those steps yeah dude feels like a keith through this like leg through the stair kind of thing I actually don't remember how the stairs were like the stairs were like the stairs were like the stairs were like the stairs were like the stairs yeah I don't know how that happened but I mean that's a that's a very safe bet could have been do you remember when we tried to put me down the stairs in the sterilite like storage bin oh yeah that was like a so many times I've done that yeah yeah or a hamper you ride it down the stairs in the hamper if don't do it kids and if it goes well if it goes the way you want it to go you slide right down you but you actually hit the floor and topple over and that's probably what you don't want mmm no I imagine you would want that because your momentum brings you if you hit the floor and stop you come to a complete stop that's what I mean and you just flip over but the flip over is better because your momentum is continuing and it can die down a little but if you just hit and you don't move I actually think that one time we did do something like that and my foot went right through the closet that's right there because it had like those slats yeah and I just like kicked it open god my parents whatever god bless them for raising all of us in that house see my steps had like the metal track on the the yeah you know what I'm talking about on the tread yeah so like if I went down those I was I wasn't I wasn't gonna be in good shape yeah you'd be roughed up and be a little roughed up but you know everyone takes a nice good roughing just like holland hollander yeah and we'll probably continue taking it my my grandma's old house had a boxing bag hanging from the ceiling in the basement and I was like oh my god I'm gonna be in good shape I'm gonna be in good shape in the basement like a heavy bag and we would swing from it you'd swing from the heavy bag I mean as a kid what else are you gonna do punch it yeah that's stupid it hurt my hand yeah I imagine that's the thing to do just swing from it though that's cool what's in those by the way sand gotta be yeah what else would you put in there water I mean you pop it I think of the scene of the Avengers where he where Chris Evans Captain America hits it and then sand just bursts everywhere because he's so strong he is so strong bro speaking of Chris Evans I just watched a show uh defending Jacob did you see that you were telling me about that I didn't watch it is it good uh dude embarrassed to say this but me and Nicole watched the entire series in one sitting why is that embarrassing because it's fucking like seven hours I am a big proponent of smoke it if you got them you know what I'm saying like if they're if they're giving it to you all at once just do it seven hours of television straight is bananas but it's one of those like mystery things and you're like I gotta fucking know so I couldn't stop watching I love a good mystery I love mysteries I watched weapons and I was like oh what's going on I love detective shit like I wish I could be a detective or sometimes I watch shows where detectives are like figuring stuff out and I'm like oh I love that like the first 48 or something like that well I just I also all her fault is another one and it's like what's the guy uh Pena Pena Pena Michael Pena he's like a detective and he's like figuring stuff out and he's like oh okay piece this together blah blah blah he's interviewing people and I'm like I would love this that's why I really enjoyed re-watching Dexter and that's why I like the new uh Knives Out Wake Up Dead Man uh because he does it in such a Daniel Craig does it in such a bombastic you know coming through Benoit Blanc and he doing it like that I love it that's what he does dude that's what he does bombastic well that's what he does he comes in his lock mouth good sir I wish I talked like that do you ever wish you were a detective? I wish I talked like that do you ever wish you were a detective? like give me your top five accents you wish you had i wish i had a some sort of like uk accent yeah just any any of them there's a hundred million but like i one of them would be all right so give me your top five as i asked before okay take it easy should i count that that was really no that was not really sad no that was not no no no no no no no no no we said it was okay like i said before you fucking idiot we said it would be verbal bitches not not but i was that was a bitching yeah a little bit throwing that sass around for yeah yeah yeah that was crazy dude i you who's side are you on who's side is he supposed to be on mine because we're getting the money together oh so he is splitting it might be on frankie so i well i know meaning like you're also getting ten dollars and i'm also getting ten dollars whoa now it's twenty dollars back to joe's side if i get two bucks per i'm not playing i'm giving you ten bucks per no you're making him spend 20 he's not gonna do that for me all right doing any of this so top five accents you would most want to have um i would say that one you just said european i said uk you said uk british okay british accent what kind of british are we talking like high in brit are we so yeah like tom hardy in uh or peaky blinders okay uh yeah i love that accent i think that's awesome so you want to be a blinder a peaky fucking fucking fuck fucking hell yeah yeah i would love that okay um i think also the people that are watching this in england are just like that's a very specific like they know exactly which one it is yeah yeah yeah because like i said there's so many of them like i think you go like a ten mile an hour and you're like oh my god i'm gonna i was north and it's completely different uh i would like that um i think like having a spanish accent would be cool but like what spanish are we talking or are you talking you know which one spain like a spania but we don't eat even it didn't until midnight i'm talking about like uh dominican i'm trying to think of an actor that would have javier bardem antonio banderas who's the guy that voiced um death in puss in boots come on frankie oh puss in boots is actually a good accent wagner mora that that's oh he just won he just won yeah apparently that movie's incredible the secret agent yeah yeah yeah i would love that yeah that's a good one i like i like that accent i like that i'll take that um i want like a scouse accent that's fun which one's that that's like uh you know patty the baddie or owen cooper i think is he's i think he is patty the baddie he's in the ufc you've never seen him in the ufc i've never seen him in the ufc i've never seen him in the ufc i've never seen him he don't get knocked out patty pemblit yeah okay i didn't know his nickname was the baddie yeah dude um no offense come fuck him off dude um but yeah like an accent like that i think is so fucking funny who who was the like scottish like sounding scottish i mean you know yeah it's hilarious well i mean careful you don't want to offend patty the baddie he might take your hattie off yeah uh i mean a fucking rear naked scottish would be cool like a david tennant alan cummings real italian would be cool too okay i think that's such a like a nice sounding language i mean the language it's but but it's a little dramatic for me if you had the the accent but not the language doesn't that kind of take away from it like to be clear i'd rather speak these languages than just have the accent obviously gotcha okay but i know part of you wants like a southern accent a little bit no i'm talking no not at all what about boston certainly not certainly not what about like delaware water gap like philly yeah i will say the baltimore accent is is stavros that bit he does is so fucking funny yeah i i feel like the the the baltimore accent is so funny like i i wasn't really uh aware of it until you know the last like five years really like i knew they had an accent but i never like really like mayor of easttown was the first one to like put it on tv and stuff like that right that was a good show speaking of detectives you know another and see i'm all over this but like the the like delaware water gap you know like we're going for a hoagie yeah go birds it's it's also like what are you like how did this come there yeah like it's very specific it is it is it is it makes no sense yeah it's like only you have it so strange it is it is crazy to think about accents because like we live in the same place but it's so like people say that a lot about new york bro you ever hear the memphis accent oh my god no i don't think i've heard of memphis so like when you say human but they say herman herman and music music yeah like you ever seen like glorillo uh get interviewed and shit she she she says i thought she was from st louis nah i think she's from or maybe i'm mixing people up i'm pretty sure it was well it was like chingy right there well i don't think it's st louis i'm pretty sure it's glorillo because she did she did an interview with um with speedy where she was like she bearded for spirit like she can't i don't know who the way she is he's an interviewer for complex um that dude's hilarious too but it's like she is she from i don't know who speedy is he's an interviewer for complex um that dude's hilarious memphis i don't i think that justin triplick is that ain't what i'm talking about yeah because he talks like this that doesn't sound like that sounds exactly like yes glorillo memphis tennessee yeah yeah so they so they say like herman like it's a human so i'm like that i would need to hear it before i can ever make any judgments about it i'll tell you which ones i definitely would want i've openly said i don't like the boston one i think that i don't like it it's just it's hilarious to me though yeah but also it just feels like i don't want it i don't know how i know you're gonna say you know what you say it's gonna feel as dumb is that what you're gonna say no no no that's not what i was gonna say okay but also i would hate the like valley california the vocal fry i hate that you know like here like that like that yeah i'm surprised australian is not in there oh that's a good one i like that one too australian just feels like it's a cool club but i can't be in you know what i mean i can't do like it seems like they're in it and they're like oh good eye you know yeah fuck right yeah fuck fucking fucking cut like yeah i love how i like yeah they're just cool yeah that's that's a good one i'd like to i i i don't really the only two accents i could say i really don't like are those two i just mentioned boston and and uh you know like that valley so so cal like back end you know but i also like i said before i i dated a brazilian girl in high school and i hated that accent yeah you do you know because it was like hispanic and also russian yeah so it'd be like it's still dubai you know yeah it's just like yeah you know i just wish i could speak anything other than english i mean you can you got you you can sit down and you know pop on one of those speaking apps what are they called i feel like i'm lingos one of them i feel like i'm surprised like when i was in spain i was able to understand like a decent amount like okay so i it's like i have something like some people have absolutely nothing in just english but like when you are in spain everyone knows like five languages and i'm just like i'm an american loser always think about this my grandfather spoke seven languages he was polylingual so sick which what the fuck are we doing like i can barely speak english yeah you know seven is probably four too many if you had to pick two more for me yeah um you know my spanish is so broken that i'm not even going to be able to say that i speak it yeah spanish has to be in there i think it would have to be spanish and then yeah what would you pick after that if you know spanish you kind of know italian pink panther is here coach and spotify are teaming up to bring music and style together and they want

that's the hispanics yeah that's the hispanic you know how he hates them right right hey by the way uh aunt's dad and if you're still watching this he said he hated me because i was hispanic yeah he did say that and i was so fucking sad it was and that's you know i've never been identified and attacked because of my nationality and heritage it's not really some something i want in the workplace either it's just something that like i feel like i i can't well you know you can't go you work your whole life establishing the basis for your self-worth and in a minute that can crumble and you know and a part i mean it's jeopardizing everything that we're kind of trying to stand for here we're very forward-facing with our personalities i think a lot of people like this show like us like the studio because the people that you see are the people that you get we're trying to keep it light and silly and unfortunately there's a person that comes in and does stuff like that and we're trying to keep it and is now mocking me do you see how he's mocking you he's mocking me like a mocking bird completely undercutting your ability to feel real emotions you're mocking me like a mocking bird and which reminds me of tequila mocking bird which which also tequila tequila what tequila mocking bird oh tequila tequila yeah oh what well tequila mocking bird and tequila tequila two things i thought you said say the n-word i thought you said to say that i'll say that i thought you said tequila mocking bird i know to kill i know to kill a mocking bird i didn't know i was waiting for the what tequila mocking bird is oh i don't know what that is but what the fuck is that hold on wait a sec business idea i already bought this so you know we almost got out of the episode with you doing that it was close a tequila brand called tequila mocking bird just don't even what is that uh it's a it's a little violin i saved for when frankie was you know complaining about something oh so you're saying frank complains so much that you're like i gotta get a toy yeah but then it turned it was just useful here yeah i complain about something a lot i don't let them turn us against each other here i don't point at me i'm not my hands down don't you worry yeah i didn't say you complain a lot i said if you've ever complained like in the future that's how you said i don't know if you said that brother no no no you said when you complained well you know saying that's inevitable just play it off here it's actually a beautiful instrument i wish i really wish that just reminds me of the godfather by the way it just sounds it also sounded like the godfather meets titanic i think it's just a violin that's why yeah see how rude that was do you see how rude that was you don't gotta you gotta tell me i'll get in touch with with the powers that be with your father yeah wait till your father gets the word of this yeah that's been on my desk for like two months i've been waiting for a moment this is gonna be the second worst day of your dad's life dude the first one is when they were like getting rid of christopher columbus day or whatever yeah he's probably upset about i imagine he was not happy about that i imagine how much more can they take how much what the hell yeah we don't have it it's just a day you know oh man um well i think that's all we have for today what a fun episode yeah that really was a fun episode hey great job all around boys i will say that the best thing to come out of this episode is the fact that we had the idea of the pastry on because i am ready to eat i am so proud of you i'm so for pastry on i'm so excited to eat pastries there's nothing better in this world a few things are better just do me a favor if we do get these cup of whole milk you could get your almond milk or whatever you fucking drink in brooklyn you probably i would just like i need when something is that decadent and rich i need a cup of whole milk it's also going to dry me out so i will need some wet okay that's the way you put it yeah i will need something wet to wet me up you need something to to fucking wet your throat yeah at the end of the full circle moment baby circle heated rivalry start with wet throats and on them there you go whoa all right well i am not looking i want to make sure i say this openly yeah make sure you tell the person that does our graphics to pick the one that's going to be the best one for you and the one for this one very carefully i wonder who's gonna be who i i mean i hope that neither of us are i think it's maybe just us in hockey stances well one of us has to be the russian the other one has to be the okay but we don't need to be like fucking like oh yeah you know yeah i don't think it's gonna be two guys you never know because we you guys have had to give some notes in the past we would we yeah this feels like one that we're gonna have to go back and forth with manu about yeah i'm imagining just the hockey face-off thing hockey face-off is good i don't know if you two have to be stacked yeah i want to make sure i say that on the record yeah frank's kids are gonna see this photo we can't we can't do that yeah um that's so funny um all right where can they find you frank uh the frank alvarez all over social media make sure you check out the patreon patreon.com slash the basement yard where we will have
