The episode blends satire and serious commentary on cultural propaganda, internet dangers, and consumer behavior. It opens with a fictional narrative about the "Alemonati," a shadowy organization that has long promoted lemon over lime, suggesting a deep-rooted influence on media and industry. This is framed as a metaphor for broader cultural power dynamics. The narrative shifts to a real-life incident where the hosts confront spoiled milk—symbolizing the risks of poor food handling and the absurdity of online culture. They then analyze a controversial video featuring RFK Jr. and Kid Rock, where elements like whole milk in a hot tub and blue jeans are interpreted as ideological signals, merging health, patriotism, and right-wing symbolism. The discussion expands into a critical examination of sugary breakfast cereals, revealing high sugar content and unhealthy consumption patterns. Participants share personal experiences with internet predators during adolescence, highlighting the dangers of early online interactions and underscoring the need for vigilance. The episode ends with practical sponsor recommendations, including tools for building websites, booking doctors, and supporting content through Patreon. Throughout, the tone balances humor and caution, urging listeners to be critical of cultural narratives and prioritize personal safety and health in both digital and physical environments.
For decades, a shadowy organization called the Alemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows.
Look around, Lemon Forward sodas, even Lemon Forward songs.
We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them, and squeezed out the truth.
That's lemon propaganda right there.
But now, 7UP is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda.
Join the 7 uprising. Flip the sip.
Welcome back to the bas-
Welcome back to the basement yard.
Frank's wearing the merch, look at that. Show it off.
Oh, I got a little dandry.
It's not for sale, but. It's not. It was.
It was.
It was, but it's not.
So, eat your heart out, bitches.
And Frank is actually drinking.
Countin' that.
That's to the generals.
But I am one of the bitches, if you're saying bitches.
No, because it's our shirt.
Oh, so you're saying just the. You have one of these shirts.
Or you don't.
I don't.
Why? Can I ask? I never asked. Can I ask?
Sure.
Why?
What's the question?
Like, we went on tour.
Yep.
And we had, in our second tour, we had a lot of city-specific merch.
Yeah.
You famously took none of them.
No.
I. You took all of them.
Famously took every single thing.
I took, like, two, and then I realized,
I'm gonna have a stack of these shirts.
As a memory.
But I don't really have space for it.
I don't have a lot of storage in my apartment.
You're gonna get to, like, when you purchase your first, like,
"I'm going to live in this home,"
you're gonna get there and have nothing.
I'll be fine.
I mean, like, I know you'll be okay, because. No, I have things.
Oh, but, like, you have things, like. I remember one of the most jarring parts
about going from an apartment to a house
was, like, you get into the house and you're just like,
"Oh, I have nothing."
Like, you basically furnished two rooms.
Yeah.
Your living room, your bedroom.
Well, even that, my living room now is much smaller
than I plan on, like, a house living room to be.
Damn, that's crazy.
This kid's gonna fucking. Yo, please, like, whenever you go looking for houses,
send me the listing so I can see two.
That'd be so sick, dude.
It's not gonna be for a while.
I think it's probably a lot closer than you realize.
Probably, like, three years.
Probably.
Um. Someone here is in trouble.
What'd you do?
How do you know it's me?
What if it's you?
It's certainly not me.
It's not him.
I would've yelled at him already for it.
It's never really him, is it?
Someone said. So we did the Pastrion episode
on patreon.com/thebasementyard
where we tried pastries from. That I brought.
That you brought.
Thank you so much.
But. Ant forgot to get rid of the milk
and left it out.
Oh, my God.
Ew!
So I. I can see it curdled from here.
Oh, my God, that's disgusting.
It's like a lava lamp of shit.
I told Ant he needs to open it and just take a sniff.
Why do I have to do that?
Are you gonna sniff it?
All right, if you sniff it first, I'll sniff it.
No, you sniff it first, and then I'll sniff it second,
and then you have to sniff it third.
Come on, solidarity. We're boys.
Yeah, but you're big prank boy.
You gotta sniff it first.
I am. That's why I'm pranking you.
You do it, and let me see your reaction.
Yeah, yeah, and then we'll do it.
For sure.
No, you. You're the one that's in trouble.
I am promising to do it.
Well, then you have to do it first,
'cause you got in trouble, 'cause you were a bad boy.
No, if he brings it over there,
I know he's gonna gag, and it's gonna. I know. That's the best part of it.
We'll go in order. It's perfect.
Oh, yeah, that's right. That's a good idea.
How did I get roped into this?
You got roped in. Look, look, look, look, look.
I used to. I used to. That's a lasso, which is rope.
Which is made of rope.
I. This is, like, my nightmare.
When I was younger, I had this thing with milk
where I had to smell every. I mean, still to this day, if I were to drink milk. You know the reason why that's full?
It's because I opened it on the episode,
and I smelled it, and I didn't really enjoy the smell,
so I was like, "I'm not drinking that."
And that's when it was good.
That's when it was, like, fresh.
Yeah, so now I'm like. So now we're in a bit of Trubby.
Yeah.
I just think that as Ant was the one that left it out,
you're the one that's in trouble,
so you should be the one to crack it, sniff it.
Yeah, but you brought it over there.
That's true, I did.
It'll go Frankie, then Joe, and then I'll do it.
But what guarantees that you're gonna do it?
Something tells me you're gonna be a little sneaky,
little. I'm not gonna say it,
because somehow you got roped into me
owing you money if I say the word.
How do I know you're not gonna back down
and not actually oblige and take a whiff?
Well, if he smells it,
I'll probably get beat up if I don't smell it.
I mean. So then if he doesn't, you're not gonna?
No, I didn't say that either.
I think that we should. I feel like I can see in your face
that you're kind of gagging already.
A little.
It's in my tummy.
Like, he's like, "Yo!"
It's in my tummy a little.
I mean, I'm not gonna talk about his. Tummy?
Dude, you're 30.
Stomach?
I'm not 30.
I was at Disney enough.
He could still use tummy.
That's fair.
I. I won't. Like, I won't specify what it was,
but we filmed something the other day,
and I legitimately gagged. Yeah. during someone explaining something.
Right.
And, like, I was surprised,
'cause I have a pretty good stomach.
I don't throw up, ever.
I'm like. I can see things that are kind of gross,
or, like, smell things that are kind of gross,
and I'm just like, "That's gross."
In that moment,
it legitimately made me gag,
and I was like. That was crazy.
There's your line.
That's my line, I guess.
Let's see if this does the trick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got it.
Oh, it's. It's tight.
Oh, my God.
It's so gross.
It's tight, brother.
Honestly, watching you do this is, like,
kind of worse for me.
It's not gonna blow up, right?
People get a. Could you imagine it exploded in my face?
I'm not kidding.
I'd fucking leave.
I'm not. I wouldn't record.
It'd be a short episode.
I, uh. It would be a short episode.
Give it a stink.
Give it a stink.
Stink it.
I don't think that's the word.
Smell the milk.
Definitely the milk.
Smell the cap.
Okay, here we go.
Looks like water.
You ready?
How am I doing this first
when you were the one that. No, it's gonna be punished.
You love it.
You relish in it, Frank.
Give it a stink.
Now I'm not doing it.
Now I'm literally not doing it.
Oh, no, we're all upset now.
Now you're upset.
Now the. Look at what you took from them.
From the people.
You're edging.
They'll get over it.
I'm not edging.
Stop that.
You are edging.
You're edging.
Stop that.
I don't like it.
Here we go.
This has already gone on long enough.
I think you like it.
What's going on?
I really don't.
I promise you that.
Third time's a charm, I think.
That's bad.
Third time's a charm?
All right, I'll third time it up.
Frank, you like it.
You like it.
I mean, I definitely don't, but that's. Don't.
Don't.
Don't.
That's. Oh, my god.
Touching this is so disgusting.
Yo, what would you do if I had put a firecracker in there and it exploded?
Hey, man.
That'd be the last time you're on this.
You two giggles.
Why me?
Yeah, you're giggly.
That's true.
Giggly puff over there.
That's great.
I'm going to use that.
Yeah.
Oh, my fucking god.
Two.
I did two.
You did two.
No.
Not how it works.
I did two.
You did two.
You did two.
Can I say something?
This is so sharp.
It like. It is.
It's like a. Cut through my fucking nasal cavity.
What do you think would work better, smelling salts or that, to wake you up?
Smelling salts.
Okay.
All right.
But also, I would prefer that, because this one's going to make me projectile vomit out
of my sleep.
Oh, it's actually coming. It'd be funnier if I didn't do it now, right?
It would, but if you don't do it, you're in bigger trouble.
Wow.
It looks way more like cheese than I thought.
Just think of it as like it's burrata in there.
How much for you to take a sip?
Joey said he'll pay you.
No, I can't.
I can't do that.
10,000.
I will literally pay you to not take a sip.
Okay.
No, I won't.
Come on.
Just give it a whiff.
Sure.
Give it a big one.
Don't spill it.
I'm not going to spill it.
Whoa.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Dude.
Run it back.
Dude, it smelled way more like ass than cheese.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean. It smells like a raw foot.
Whoa.
It smells like if someone dragged their foot through human shit.
Well, that was really surprising.
One more.
I can't.
Hit it back.
Hit it back.
Hit it back.
Hit it back.
No, no, no.
Run it back.
No, no, no.
Don't.
Look at him.
He's going to explode.
Thank you.
Oh, god.
Hold on.
I think the descriptions weren't as. No.
To me, it was so sharp.
It hit me like, whoa.
It was sharp.
It was so gross that I felt like I couldn't gag.
Is that weird?
Yes.
Okay.
I think that it's nasty, dude.
Now that I'm thinking about it, my stomach hurts.
That was one of my fears when I was younger.
Like, oh, you know what just happened to me recently?
Oh, we were on a shoot recently, and I had milk, and there was ice in it.
You know when milk gets really cold, and there's little shards of ice?
Yeah.
Like, the first time that I. Like, you put it down your throat?
Drank it?
Yeah.
The first time that I ever had milk that had an ice chunk in it, I thought it was chunky.
That's bad.
It just came out of me.
That's bad.
I didn't throw up, but milk was coming out of my mouth.
I am more afraid of raw chicken than I am raw milk.
I mean, raw milk, first of all.
Not getting into that.
Like, spoiled milk.
Spoiled milk.
Like, it's so easy to look at or be around spoiled milk and just go, "Oh, that's spoiled.
I'm not gonna drink this."
But, like, you can see, like, a piece of seared chicken and then bite into it, and then it's
just. Raw?. a worm in there.
Yeah.
That is. Like, I saw once. It was a picture that was, like. It's years old at this point, from, like, E-bomb's World.
But it was, like, someone took a bite of, like, a chicken sandwich, and it was just,
in the middle, just a basically cock-a-doodle-doo chicken.
Like, that shit gets me to the point where, like. And then I took a food safety class when I worked for Target, and it just terrified me
more.
Yeah, dude.
Like, that shit is fucking crazy.
I love that, like, every ten years, you get a picture. Of, like, someone goes to McDonald's, and instead of getting a burger, there's just, like, a chicken's head.
And you're like, how did this happen?
I remember that from, like, funnyjunk.com.
Yeah.
Like, those.
You're dropping crazy.
It's just for us.
E-bombs and funny junk.
It's just for us.
It's just for the boys.
It's so funny.
Just for the boys.
Dating yourself a bit, for sure.
Yeah.
I mean, listen.
Did you guys have funny junk?
No shot.
No shot they had funny junk.
Probably.
Probably.
I mean, but he was, like, when we were looking at it, he was, like, five years old, so.
Yeah.
Like, funny junk.
The last time I went to that website.
See if it's still a website.
Don't look that up.
Funny junk.
There's definitely offensive stuff on there.
I mean, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't.
I'll do it on my phone.
Show it on the screen.
Yeah.
Do it on your phone.
But, like, it was, like, the E-bombs world before E-bombs world.
There was all those websites, and they had, like, offensive things on them.
I feel like you could have been, like, a.
A curator?
No, like, um.
What's the word?
Editor?
Like a QAnon troll.
Fuck you.
You know, like, if you had, like, a different.
Like, set of friends.
Like, I feel like you could have.
Because you were really into E-bombs world.
I'm really trying to wait until you finish before I get angry about this.
But, like.
Because this feels like a backhanded compliment.
No, no, no.
Like, you would be perfect as, like, a 4chan.
Yeah.
Moderator.
Yes.
Fuck you.
That's what I mean.
That sucks as a thing to say to me.
But, like, I think, like, you know how you're, like.
You like E-bombs world.
I like E-bombs.
And you love Spencers.
Like, you know what I mean?
Well, yeah, Joey.
When I was 17 years old.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, it could have led to that path.
But I'm glad it didn't.
Yeah.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm saying there was a path.
Is there money in that stuff?
Like, being, like, a moderator on, like, a big Reddit thread or a 4chan thread or something
like that.
8chan.
I don't even know which ones there are.
There's a bunch of chans.
The only one I remember is because of the documentary they made about QAnon.
Yeah.
And it was, like, a person from, like, Thailand or something like that.
Yeah.
I mean, I have no idea whether they make money or not.
I'm just terrified.
I feel like if we didn't go down this route, if you're saying that I would be, like, a
moderator or something like that, which I'm not.
More of, like, what I mean is, like, a troll in a way of, like, you would almost, like,
a hacker in a way.
Like, you'd be, like, a troller.
The only people that I, like.
Like, you're, like, pranks.
I mean, I love pranks.
I do.
I love them so much.
I feel like I would have gone the route of, like, Jamie Kennedy, like, having a prank
show.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
What I'm picturing is, you know that, like, meme of the face that's, like, like, the sideways
face?
Yeah.
And it just, like, pops up randomly?
Like, I feel like you could have went down that route.
You know what I'm saying?
Again, this feels like it's an insult.
No, no, no.
I'm saying, like, you like pranks.
I do like pranks.
You liked, like, E-Bomb's world.
You frequented chat rooms.
Let's not forget that you almost.
As a 13-year-old looking for companionship, Joey.
Bad place to look, buddy.
That was fair.
That's true.
Jesus.
Don't sit here.
Pointed at me like you didn't do the exact same thing.
Whoa.
Probably not as much as you.
I did do it a couple times.
I mean, who, who, how are we to measure the, you know, time spent in a chat room?
I mean, it's just, we both did it.
Yeah.
You know?
I remember I used to, like, because you remember on AIM when you'd go to a chat room, like,
you'd make one for you and your boys.
Yeah.
And it'd be, like, chat room 1-860-434-9333.
I would just take all that away, and I'd just put one, and I'd go in there.
It was bad.
And you're like, yo, this is the first chat room?
Well, like, it was, like, a specific.
It was a specific one, and then you'd go in there, and it was just not healthy.
Like, it was, like, it was a petri dish of predators.
Bro, it's so weird with the internet, like, oh, God.
Yeah, not good.
I feel like if I.
Why did we do that when we were younger?
If I, because we were dumb, and the internet was new, and no one was policing it as they
are now.
Yeah, but, like, what's the, what's the reason why when these things pop up, people are like,
I'm going to put my penis on it?
You know?
Like, it's like.
That's a good point.
You get chat roulette, and it's like, well, of course.
Like, you know, it's, it's made.
Because I'm going to put my penis on it, though.
Like, why is that going through people's minds?
Because they're sick freaks.
That's insane, dude.
They are sick freaks.
Did you, when chat roulette first dropped, did you, like, really get after it on there?
No, I went on it a couple times, but, like, I was not showing my penis on there.
Let's make that abundantly clear.
I would hope not.
I was going on, like, at the time, we were, like, maybe, what, like, 18 or 19 when it
came out?
Yeah, maybe a little younger, maybe.
Look up when chat roulette came out.
But, like, we'd go on there and be like, you hope to see, like, a group of girls, and then,
like.
Yeah, that ain't happening.
It didn't.
It didn't.
That was, that, that was quickly ruined by the creeps and pervs on the internet.
Yeah.
It was released November 2009, but I don't know if it turned into what it was in a couple
years, you know what I mean?
I mean, it was definitely 2010, 2011, so.
So, yeah, around that time.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's a tough year.
You ever see the clip of someone, like, it's, like, Kermit the Frog, and it's Kermit the
Frog, and it's not really Kermit the Frog, but it's someone pretending.
It's someone pretending to be Kermit the Frog with, like, a doll.
And it's like, hey, um, how you doing?
And they're just like, oh my god, Kermit, hey, how are you?
And he's like, yeah, fuck, think about this.
And he holds up, like, a green cucumber.
He looks like his dick.
And they're like, Kermit!
And he's like, yep, no, what do you think?
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
Just ruining our childhood one thing at a time.
We were probably victims of predators at some point.
For sure.
I know I was.
I mean, I know I was, too.
I definitely know I was.
I tell the infamous story.
I tell the infamous story about Tiffany Diamond.
And mine was, hey, it's me, 1-2-3-0-3.
Yeah, that one was.
See, that one was a little different.
You know, there was a woman with large breasts sending probably 14, 13-year-old me messages
on MySpace, and I'm like, she loves me.
Yeah, I mean, Tiffany Diamond, you should have, that immediately should have rang a
bell.
Like, oh, this is great.
12, though.
Yeah, but, like, you're not a complete idiot at 12.
I saw giant boobs, and I was like, I think that she thinks she's a giant.
She thinks I'm hot.
I was 12.
She asked for ASL, and you, and what did you say?
I don't really remember.
You didn't give 12.
I didn't give any information.
It's just my mom saw it.
Yeah.
She wasn't happy.
No.
Because she saw the news.
Yeah.
And then I was like, that doesn't happen.
And then it was happening.
It was happening.
At the time.
Had, was, was gonna happen.
Yeah, dude.
You know, like, it was a thing.
She never got anything out of me, don't worry.
Yeah, like, all these people, like, I never, like, sent anything of me, you know?
Like, I never, like, told them my real name or, like, how to find me or anything.
Like, that.
Because that would have been a problem.
What was the deal with the, like, was it a guy?
I don't know what it was.
I, I, I, I had no idea.
At this point, like, it could have been anything.
Anyone.
And you've never heard this story, right?
I don't believe so.
We, we would, for, like, on, on AOL Instant Messenger, better known as AIM.
Did you have a screen name?
I don't remember.
Oh, bro.
You're a liar.
Wait, you don't have a. Yo, that's crazy to me that there's people that have and had screen names.
No, I definitely did.
I just, I literally, I just don't remember.
I don't remember.
He's a liar.
That means it was, like, my cock is huge.
My balls are bigger.
Yeah, pounding Prisco 129.
Might have been 10.
Yeah.
Might have been 10.
What does that mean?
When I was 10 years old, it was, I was probably. When I was, when I was 10 years old, I probably had the biggest balls on the planet, dude.
What?
That's not where I was going with that.
I know, I'm saying, like, that's what people said, like. The Illuminati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows.
Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music.
That hit song named after the color of. Not a coincidence.
Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years.
Think about it.
But now, 7-Up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda.
Now lime comes first.
7-Up, flip the sip.
It was like, ew.
Oh, oh.
You know.
That's what I'm saying, like. Oh, Aunt Pri?
Oh, see, this sucks, dude.
That sucks.
Why not just give them your social?
Be creative.
Which is what?
Aunt Pri?
Or was it Cool War at the time?
Cool War?
Cool War?
First of all. What's cool about war?
And what wars have been cooler than others?
The Cold War.
The Cold One.
But that was a. It was the coldest of ones.
But what was. What's Cool War?
The one right before that, maybe?
No, no, no.
Before. You made the screen name.
What is it about?
Oh, because my full name on Xbox was Cool War Monger.
Well, there's a war starting outside, if you can't get a village ring.
Yeah, we're rumbling.
Yeah.
You're Cool War Monger.
Who the fuck are you?
Yeah, I don't know what you. I don't know.
It must have been one of those auto-generated ones that, like, Xbox would give you when
you would first sign in.
Like, hey, why don't you be, like, Tomato Rocks 18?
You know?
Tomato Rocks.
That's pretty accurate.
I like that, actually.
But it was. I went into a chat room, and those chat rooms were all, like, ASL, ASL, ASL, which stands
for?
Is that, like, a disease?
That's ALS.
That's ALS.
I mean, he's on to something.
He's not far from it.
Oh, man.
But, yeah, everyone was going in to see if anyone had ALS.
Age, sex, location.
Yeah.
So, you say your age slash your sex slash where you at.
Yeah.
So, I'm in there.
I'm fucking 13 M-N-Y.
You know what I mean?
13 years old, male, from New York.
Got it.
So, but then, like, someone. If they, like, saw you. If anyone wanted to talk with you, they'd message you on the side, and I got a message
from, hey, it's me, 12303, and they were, like, trying to court me and, like, ask for
me to, like, send pictures and, like. Of your butt?
I don't remember what they were specifically asking pictures for at this point.
Maybe in other times I've talked about this, I remember, but I do remember very specifically
they asked me to, like, hey, finger yourself.
Forgot about that.
And my response. my response to them was where,
you know,
but,
Let this be very clear, because this is not a Patreon episode, which I just realized.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Internet predators are a really serious and fucking dangerous thing.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, dude.
So, like, it can happen to anyone, even when you think it's not happening.
So, be very fucking alert.
Stay off the internet.
It happened to your favorite podcaster, dude.
Yeah, dude.
I was. Oh, man.
But it was so, like, it was that person.
Like, anytime they would sign on, they would message me.
That's disgusting.
Like, hey, did you do it yet?
Like, I'm sure. It was something sexual.
Just following up.
Got it.
Just making sure.
It was. Circling back.
It was gross.
Circling around.
Yeah, disgusting.
Disgusting.
Yeah, really gross.
And I was. We don't suggest anyone do any sort of thing.
Yeah, I mean, especially, like, I'm not going to start naming names, but there are, like,
certain places now where predators are known to hang out and target people and, like, online.
Oh.
I'm not going to start dropping names of places or games or something.
But there's. It's a very serious thing.
Like, I don't want to be making light of something.
Like, it was funny that it happened to me because, like, it was, like, at the beginning
of when this stuff started happening.
And as a kid, I didn't know.
But, like, now we have the tools to know this shit.
Yeah.
And protect our fucking loved ones against it.
So, like, very serious.
Especially fucking. People are sick fucks out there.
They really are sick fucks.
We started with spoiled milk, and here we are.
Yeah, now we're at spoiled. No.
I guess there's no way to make that work.
Speaking of milk, though, did you see the RFK Jr. and Kid Rock video?
Oh.
My.
God.
I gotta say, for. Kid Rock, who has thrown out some anti-gay slurs before, that is quite a gay video.
Dude.
That's. We're not going to get into the politics of it all because that's not what this show is.
I'm down to do that, too.
I mean. Full screen this bitch.
Oh, sure.
The only thing I'm going to need you guys to do is just tell me what to do.
Tell me when to pause, because I'm not going to know.
Yes, of course.
Of course.
Full screen it.
Yeah.
Well, hold on.
Before we even start. Let me tee it up a little bit.
Let's just say one thing.
What's with the jeans?
I mean, we're. RFK doesn't take the jeans off.
We'll get into that as the video goes, as someone that has seen this.
So, for those of you guys that aren't from America and don't know, luckily, who these
people are, RFK Jr., Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. is, like, the Secretary of Health or
something like that.
Guy's in great shape.
I'm not going to take that away from him.
But has said and done some questionable things and made suggestions about ways of being healthy.
Kid Rock, not a shining example of American male health.
Let me just say that.
I have never looked at Kid Rock and just gone, I wonder what his fucking workout routine
is.
But outside of. I bet his lungs are clear.
Yeah.
I mean, he looks like he survived on cocaine, cigarettes, and Jack Daniels for the last
25 years.
But they posted this as, like, a, like, motivational get-up-and-get-moving workout thing.
I honestly don't even know what it's. What is it?
Because it's, like, the whole milk part was just so weird.
Can you just play it and we'll just, like, kind of. I don't want to play the whole thing through.
So, you have RFK Jr. on the left, Kid Rock on the right.
Just play it.
Just play it.
Okay.
Let's start.
We'll just start.
It's a minute and a half long.
Secretary Kennedy and Kid Rock's. Rock Out Workout.
Pause it, please.
Let's start with this.
We're never getting through this.
No, we're not.
It's okay, baby.
We got a show here.
They got me with the image of the eagle, the bear, and the great white shark.
Really?
I love those things.
Those animals.
Okay?
Those are cool animals.
You're too easy, dude.
But calling it the Rock Out Workout. I just don't get what the point of this is.
Just play it.
Just play it.
I got you.
I got you.
And it's like he's cheering.
He's like cheering them on.
Like, let's go work out.
And then he's taking his shirt off, which no one has ever asked him to do.
And then he's serving food?
Okay.
Throw it.
Wait.
Wait.
Hold on.
Go back.
Did he take his shirt off and have another shirt under it?
What?
No.
I don't think so.
Who are you talking about?
Kid Rock.
No.
It looks like he was wearing another. Yeah.
Oh, it was like a sweater and he had a little shirt underneath?
Yeah.
Okay.
Now he's just doing. Zero resistance workouts.
Also, bad form.
You're going to hurt your neck there, my friend.
But yeah, it's like a workout video.
Can we just like skip to the. Here we go.
Now we're talking.
Oh, and then also. This is great.
We have the assault bike in the sauna.
And then also at a certain point, he jumps into the cold plunge fully in jeans.
Yeah.
Let's pause here.
Oh.
Let's pause here.
Well, now we know it's the cold plunge because the ice came in.
The ice came in on the screen.
Why isn't he. Why is he wearing jeans?
I know you have not watched Arrested Development, but there's a character on that show that's
a never nude.
And he wears jean cutoffs everywhere all the time and like is afraid to be nude.
And people are saying that RFK Jr. might be a never nude.
I mean, I just. It's very confusing that he's doing this.
But then at one point during this video, they're in a hot tub together.
And then it says whole milk in like. Drippy white.
I mean, you don't need to spoil it.
We'll get there.
We could skip to it.
Go ahead.
Well, first he jumps into the pool with more jeans and then. Yeah.
He also got out of the cold plunge.
Yeah.
And now it's like whole milk and they drank whole milk.
With the drippy. Like what?
Like what is. Like what is that whole thing about?
Like what is it about?
I think like there are people that are saying that like we have moved away from whole milk
as a healthy. Drink?
Not you.
I love whole milk.
You love whole milk.
I'll tell you this.
This does more damage to my whole milk appreciation than anything else.
So maybe it's working.
This is like. You know what it is.
There it is.
Not that.
Take another whiff.
Oh my God.
Please stop.
That milk.
That was like the closest thing we'll get to like a hyper right wing heated rivalry.
Like, guys.
That's what that is.
Guys.
Just. Just kiss.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on.
Just kiss.
No one's gonna. Like, we'll be like accepting.
I promise.
I mean, you might have said some things that maybe people will give you a little flack
for a little bit.
Like. Me?
No, not you.
Kid Rock.
Oh, Kid Rock.
Yeah, he has, Frank.
But like, guys, if you want a kiss, like, well, I'll accept you.
I think you will too.
Ant?
Questionable.
I just feel like it's like a weird video.
I just don't know what it means.
Like, it's like, let's. We're gonna work out and then we're gonna drink whole milk in a hot tub.
What?
Well. Like, what are we doing?
Is that not. I'm not. I assume the idea of that is to get up and work out.
Be more active.
Is it?
I'm gonna ask you a question.
You watch that.
Does that make you excited to work out?
No.
I'm confused.
What if I told you that. It wasn't in this video.
We don't want to get in trouble and owe money to Kid Rock.
What if I told you that the whole thing was underscored by the song Ba Wittaba?
Yeah, I did hear that.
That doesn't. If anything, that just makes it more confusing for me.
And it's just like. It's so funny.
The edit is so funny to me because it's just like the typical, like, America thing.
It's like, eagles, bears, the flag, whole milk.
Like, what?
What are we attaching to?
I am just as confused by that as I am the several pairs of blue jeans that he works out in.
I think that was one pair of jeans that was wet, then in the sauna,
and then back to wet again.
To be fair, don't you kind of resonate with that a little bit?
Fuck you 100%.
Yeah, you were in there in full jeans.
Did you see that point, by the way?
I did.
Yeah, you know you saw it.
You're in full jeans in the sauna.
That was a $10.
I've never once worked out in jeans.
However, I think now, for experimenting, maybe we have to give it a shot.
Maybe we need to go. Wearing wet jeans, no shot.
I mean, they were working out legs.
Like, they were also doing. I wouldn't call any of that a workout.
They were doing some back and shoulders in there.
You know, the blue jeans of it all. Sitting in a car at one point?
Like, what is this video?
The blue jeans of it all is the most confusing.
Because this is the type of, like, propaganda that does work for a very select group of people in this country.
Blue jeans?
Like, the whole, like, holding up a flag in front of a statue of Lady Liberty in your home.
Was that who that was?
That was the statue. Statue of Liberty.
Oh, was it?
Yeah.
My God.
Like, and then working out in blue. Like, like, work out in my blue jeans.
Like, that does work for people.
I don't know if I've ever had wet jeans on.
Ooh, that's a good. I know I have because, like, I have put on, like. Not jeans, I guess.
They're kind of like work pants over, like, sweatpants to go in the snow.
Okay.
So, like, those get wet.
Why not wear snow pants?
Oh, because I don't own any.
You don't have snow pants?
No.
Why?
Because I don't.
It snows every year, though.
Yeah, not enough to justify wearing pants one day a year.
Just one pair of pants?
I don't care enough for snow pants.
Like, it makes sense because you go skiing and snowboarding.
Yeah.
That makes sense, to have snow pants.
It makes zero sense for me to have snow pants.
I wouldn't say zero.
Zero.
Zero.
Okay.
- Never had a full drink spilt in your lap wearing jeans?
- I've had.
it goes right through i have i think yeah i have my head wet penis all the way through i have i
have been caught whoa in like the rain in jeans and like the thighs get very wet that's like the
most uncomfortable feeling like i've got caught in the rain in jeans and i'm like yeah it's so
uncomfortable i can't imagine being completely wet what are you talking about that was like a
very specific like had a pina colada just poured right through your jeans or something just a
cocktail or beer just went it just went right through do you have like it landed on top but
you felt it in the back you know what i mean you someone spilled a drink on your penis and
you felt it in your ass actually i can relate to that like it was like you're like sitting in it
yeah yeah it went right right through the whole thing yeah i think i've had that experience as
well you gotta buy better jeans then that's such a i mean no no he's right jeans are denim is very
porous and absorbent so i i i feel your pain i have felt it i'm currently feeling it thinking
back on it well i appreciate you feeling it whoa see what he did i mean i feel like you set him up
for that
to be fair i is there a reality where we film a rebuttal one you and i film a like
rock out workout basement yard edition and it's us at the gym you could be in jeans i could be kid
rock you want to be kid rock i don't want to be but if someone has to be i'll take that bullet
doing push it i'll take that bullet and then we when we jump in the car and we're like oh my god
to the hot tub what are we drinking whole milk brother oh what do you think we're just gonna
remake it well i think we should do our version of it right so that's what we wouldn't drink you
guys would do like chocolate milk why would we drink that i don't know because it's the opposite
of them trying to be healthy milk right isn't this the thing i don't know i don't even know
what you're saying see how confusing it is i mean it's a very confusing drink kool-aid like a a
fruit punch or something now i haven't had fruit punch in a long time i do have a thing of kool-aid
at my house when was that what you have kool-aid yeah oh shit you want it no no all right but i
mean it makes sense you have children what am i gonna do with it i mean we haven't we haven't
opened it yet when was the last time you had a hawaiian punch oh too long brother which i've
never been to hawaii something tells me that's not hawaiian like
you
know punch like real hawaiian punch is probably not that color i don't think that's like dr pepper
should only be working on peppers like no but like dr pepper has it's like it's spicy because
it's cinnamon in there but like hawaiian punch is just in the name like i'm sure if you went to
hawaii and you were like where's the hawaiian punch they'd hit you yeah i'm not gonna do that
because i think we're all under the assumption that it's just not it's
not actually like hawaiian yeah i know i it's been a while i will tell you this
here you go rank these and it could be any flavor you want whatever the best flavor is
of these three drinks uh-huh kool-aid yeah hawaiian punch capri sun high c go
what was it again oh kool-aid's number one cool kool-aid's number one yeah and what's your like
flavor the coolers the cooler the jammers oh
the one yeah the one that came in the plastic bottle yeah and it looks like a spaceship looks
like a spaceship or that too it does um uh hawaiian punch is not made in hawaii no yeah
i mean you're the one just just um i'll put kool-aid first probably capri sun second capri
sun is up there i don't like when they try to put kool-aid in the pouches like the pouch
pouch game was a capri sun game yeah that's it respect respect that they established that
um then high c okay hawaiian punch what was the other one was that the last one hawaiian punch
kool-aid high c and capri sun yeah yeah i put hawaiian punch last really it's good but like
it also like i i don't know if this is true or not but i feel like it can't get cold
wow that's an astute observation like i don't i've never had that and be like oh this is cold
like it's never cold i don't think i've ever had cold versions of any of those can you look that
up actually because i wonder if that's an actual thing because i've like tested that before and be
like i don't know if that's an actual thing because i've like tested that before and be like
i don't know if i can get this cold because i don't put it in my because it comes in in a
fucking 30 gallon jug and you have to keep it in the fridge for four weeks you want to get even
remotely you want me to look up if the liquid drink hawaiian punch can get cold yes okay
just because i'm just making sure do your job i have a theory that it can't the question i would
write here is can hawaiian punch get cold yeah okay i think it's an i think it's a great question
and i don't like the judgment he's using i'm just i'm just clarifying i will tell
you this i if it is a top search sorry to interrupt right there is it um but yes hawaiian punch get
gets cold when refrigerated or placed over ice i don't believe you don't drink any of that shit
with ice but if you drink it out of it if other people are asking that there's something there
you drink it out of either a cardboard box or a reflective plastic pouch wait a minute it does say
the high sugar content acts as an anti-freeze meaning it requires lower temperatures than water
to reach freezing states so technically i fucking knew it the threshold of being cold is lower bro
i'm pretty sure that if you put hawaiian punch in the freezer it wouldn't freeze like vodka
well i think i think if your freezer is set to 32 it might not but if your freezer is set to like
minus two like most are then yeah it'll probably freeze i don't know dude i'd i'd give you like
i'll say 40 i've theory it's yeah that's a that's such a fucking great point to also piggyback off
that i've never had a warm yoohoo every yoohoo i have had oh i've had it really i mean they're on
the floor that was a stupid way of saying what i wanted to say that was a very stupid way of saying
that i meant like how hold on how are you drinking your yoohoo what am i that's very dumb that was i
don't know what context my at my mom's house she would buy drinks like that that come in like
cases or whatever and she would have them on the floor near the back door and i would just drink
them like that they're on the floor as if that was like oh okay my point is like they're not
stored cold but like cans i remember our friend always had oh the cans are freezing that was
basically like yeah beer for an eight-year-old yeah because like you'd crack it and like
like real quick we have
sponsors but not yoohoo not one of them not one of them but we are going to bring that
right back up um we have squarespace okay squarespace is a platform where you're going to

hmm
so what were we saying i was talking about yoohoo and how much i've drank uh of that i in high
school i would get it every single morning i mean i i four years of yoohoo you know what kind of
damage i've done to my body from like eighth until 10th grade every morning my breakfast was
a can of coca-cola and a blt like it we were not wait you have coca-cola for breakfast yeah
yoohoo what has more sugar a can of yoohoo or
can of coca-cola couldn't tell you probably coca-cola i would say coca-cola but it might not
the margin might be slimmer i feel like they're both bad they're both like equally like coca-cola
is like like 35 milligrams where yoohoo might be in like low 20s low to mid 20s
no i think i know like a can of coca-cola coca-cola is 39 grams of sugar holy moly yoohoo is 33
holy moly again so who's fucking who's fucking
who yeah you know do you did you know that yoohoo has no milk in it yeah yeah they can't call it
chocolate milk it's like chocolatey drink chocolate drink yeah it's weird that tripped me
out i'm okay with it i mean i'm not i'm not looking to have it to like supplement my milk intake you
know what i you know what i did once i put a it was a glass bottle of yoohoo too and i would put
it in a bowl and then i put cereal in it oh yeah duh yeah like i think of like cocoa pebbles or
cocoa puffs or something yeah i was not a big chocolatey cereal kid but i could see why that
would but you could also just do regular milk bro what i would do to a cocoa pebble right now
a fruity pebble bro you get a fruity pebble in front of me i'll tell you something i mean i'm
down for some fruity pebbles and can you make it happen a multiple cereal taste test episode
door dash right now don't do this a half gallon of whole milk
can't we can't get more milk and a bowl and some fruity pebbles so we can have some
fucking fruity pebbles i want to put my tongue through an apple jack oh yeah yeah yeah i mean
i don't know i'm not gonna touch that one you know though you want to do it too not through
an apple jack yeah i love uh call me a sadist is that the one that loves pain masochist that's it
i think sadists like like evil or something like that
but like i used to love putting
a crunch berry between my tongue and the roof of my mouth and crushing it
and then it would just shred the top of my mouth like a cheese grater i know you're gonna make
fun of me but let me get it out first the the honeycomb i know you would suck through it all
the time what did i just say what did i just say hello call my therapist i fucking knew it
i like sucking it and making it crush oh making it flat real like flat like those videos of like
people putting things into like vacuums and then they like cut all the oxygen out and then just
i have no idea what you've just seen those what is he talking about i thought you were talking
about the hydraulic machine that like crushes stuff what do you think is by serving size
the most unhealthy like sugary cereal i imagine it's gotta be fruity no fruit loops i unfortunately
i'm pretty sure it's frosted flakes get no way no way dude no
i've convinced myself no for worse or better that frosted flakes is like healthy adjacent
dude it's so good it's it's flakes it's corn flakes it's corn flakes but it's like
it ain't fucking frosted but it ain't but it ain't the other ones dude like it's got to be
fruit loops cinnamon toast crunch has to be worse than frosted flakes because you're getting you're
getting a thing of fruit loops that is just every color that is not natural i saw this thing that
was a one of the cheesecakes it's their most like calorically dense cheesecakes from the
cheesecake factory up against other stuff it's like a reese's pieces cheesecake or whatever
it's 1500 calories for a slice what that's bad but it's a cheesecake i'm gonna eat it
yeah i mean it's probably delicious i imagine that it's got to be fruit loops
at the top it's so tough because i think like fruity pebbles but
yeah why don't you look this up this is very easy i know i am i'm trying here just pull up like the
nutrition facts on like the heavy hitters we got cereal crunch time um honey crunch with nuts does
anybody know that cole's honey crunch with nuts anybody if you think i am going into a grocery
store and i'm picking out honey crunches with nuts i hope you take a gun and shoot me in the face
well it's saying that by weight that's 42 percent sugar
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
and frosted flakes is 41 percent sugar no like the bag i mean he's saying by weight though a corn
a corn flake is like papyrus so of course it's going to be heavier because of the amount of
sugar that's caked i'll tell you what my favorite bowl of frosted flakes is when you get to the end
and they just dump a bunch of that fucking dust in there oh yeah oh my god i'm not looking for by
weight what the amount of sugar is how is this hard how are you not just looking at frosted
flakes because i'm trying to get a bunch of cereals at one let's just get the one how much sugar is in
is there more sugar in a coca-cola i mean to his defense he needs to find like of comparable
serving sizes so like if a serving size for this one is a third of a cup and that one it's a half
a cup like they're all it's cereal it should be the same no different they you can quantify what
a serving size is like yourself it doesn't need okay so i got a bunch of cereals uh serving size
of 30 grams and their sugar content this guy's going by grams where the fuck i believe it's a
bowl i believe it's we're in a good old you didn't see that rfk kid rock video we want it in
fahrenheit from what it looks like here frosted mini weeks at mini weeks frosted mini wheats and
captain crunch are the highest yeah at 15.7 grams of sugar whoa frosted mini wheats i again
convinced myself that those are healthy too i like when i get a double oh or or when you get
one that is just covered just the house is painted with this shit yeah blizzard i'm talking
like four coats of paint on this bastard oh my god i love it and then you get one that's like
nothing on it yeah you're like this idiot why do i feel like i'm from kansas or kentucky i'm eating
hay what am i a horse get the fuck out of here dorothy wait that one has a lot of sugar in it
yep captain crunch and frosted mini wheats very high top two they're tied they're tied
captain crunch i captain crunch i get i mean there's nothing real about that and no i i would
get it if it was oops all berries which is the superior version frank those are all cut died
anyway i know but i'm saying like captain crunch like captain crunch without crunch berries is just
those little yellow puffs yeah but those are dyed right yeah yeah yeah like a piece of corn
what else we got what the hell is the frosted flakes before i cut my own head off at the neck
i i am a little disappointed with frosted flakes i really thought tony the tiger was
saying they're great in terms of what how they were for you frosted flakes is 10.3 grams of sugar per
that's my god but what's the serving size 30 grams which is what a third so it's a third of
the serving size of sugar is essentially what it's saying but and if it's serving size you're
putting like close to a cup and a half in this fucking bowl baby no i'm not you're going to
frank whatever the biggest bowl in my house is yeah it's getting filled to the brim
and then refilled i love how we have somehow the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top
and lime in the shadows
their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music that hit song named after the color of
lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years
think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes
first seven up flip the sip and by we i mean me but you're in this with me now baby convinced
ourself that
sugary cereal is still in a way healthy oh i yeah i that ship has sailed i know i know so frosted
flakes is 10.3 grams of sugar per but fruity pebbles is 10 whoa hold on hold on but fruity
pebbles is basically no no we're now i'm on a diet now now i'm on a diet fruity pebbles i'm on a diet
yeah if anything fruity pebbles the thing with is better for you than frosted flakes the thing
though is actually it's probably not
just because they're so small i can get rid of the half a bag like that yeah but it's going by
serving size it all it all equates like yeah they're saying a serving size a serving size of
frosted flakes might be a hundred frosted flakes where a serving size of fruity pebbles might be
500 because sure sure sure but i i definitely think i could eat the bag of fruity pebbles in
two sittings and the frosted flakes might take me through i love fruity pebbles for the first
minute and a half that i have that bowl there after that it becomes you guys are crazy i like
a little soggy cereal no i'm sorry it basically becomes like toilet water like i'm it it like
sops up and becomes like a frank if that's what toilet water tastes like give me a swirly yeah
okay flush it and let it drain it you want to but you want to head in there right it's crazy
um cinnamon toast crunch 9.7 literally a diet literally i'm on a diet that's crazy because

Shut up.
I'm going to get very angry.
YouTube.
two you know what this you earn a bitch here write that down you two bitch
um can you just tell me yeah i guess just reveal it now all right wait wait
let me do it okay and then you tell me how many horses there are how many horses i are in the
stable okay sure how many two two i thought i was i was thinking like five but i don't know
how i clearly that's not how they came i don't know why would we both say two yeah we both said
two had we come up with that same time the lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top
you
and lime in the shadows their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything even our music
that hit song named after the color of lemons not a coincidence big lemon has been pulling
strings in the industry for years think about it but now seven up is fighting back with their
new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the sip think about everything yeah
i'm gonna do it again all right but then but then count down from three and we'll say it at the same
time okay yeah three two one zero yeah zero i guess okay all right now we have to tell them
it's just the amount of words you say after when you ask the question
yo i fucking hate
that's why when you were like so do it again do it again do it again do it again like
how many horses three yeah you had to count that
god good job that's what he was like how many horses were in the stable my hands are underneath
i'm like i hate that so much yeah i just don't i because you know why because i fixate on one
thing there yeah and i think like there's something in that thing like the hand things
that i'm not getting i always think that when
he brings up one of those that it's like it can't be the obvious one so i'm trying to think of
everything i'm glad you think that because i don't so that's why you get it and i do not i fail it
was fun from this side of the club for sure yeah you pointing at me and saying that i'm stupid i'm
not kidding take another whiff of that milk right now i feel like pledge do it i feel like that do
you think that's like a very offensive thing someone said like could say to you that you're
stupid yeah yeah yeah but like obviously he didn't he obviously didn't do it he didn't do it
obviously didn't say it in a serious manner no no yeah i'm not i don't think you're stupid well in
that moment maybe i'm kidding i would say that like it's so tough because like if some random
listener said like this guy's an actual fucking idiot yeah i wouldn't care but like if someone
knows the real person that i am and yeah it says like you're stupid you're just stupid or like
you're not smart that i would you know me i'm not stupid i'm not stupid i'm not stupid i'm not
i would go into a fucking well that's what i mean i feel like that that's like would that would
offend you more than like other offensive things for some reason yes yeah because i think like that
is a level of like like you need to really not know me to think that i'm flat out stupid you
know what i mean like he's defending why he's not stupid i don't need to defend why i'm not stupid i
know and the people that know me like that's the point that i'm making is like the people that know
so like if someone were to say it like if joey were to say like seriously like i just think
you're dumb i'd be like what the like you know me you know i'm not
you know what i mean yeah i agree i think it's tough because like so much of this podcast is
us like assuming or not even assuming confidently stating we know something and then being proven
wrong yeah not me lately i've been on a roll that was the last episode and having twice
it's two more than the one before that that's right baby
well anything up from zero but like it's now become like a thing like we do it as a joke
you know which thing like the like these guys know nothing where it'll be like oh the queen
and it's like who you know and now it's become like a whole pod uh podca a whole podcast like
sub genre of like people just not knowing like guys just not knowing things and people think
that's like a bit that we do yeah i mean i definitely like know a good bit
but i definitely uh say things confidently that i'm not sure about
i also don't tout myself as the smartest person in the room today like
rank the three of us in order of intelligence oh yeah that's really i honestly would say we're
all on equal levels here i really would like media trained i would say say what you want
about the next thing that's coming out of my mouth well yeah i hadn't known you and then as i've been
getting to know you more i'm like he's a smart kid oh so at first you thought i was a no i just
didn't know you but like as i've gotten to know you i could be like wow he's he's like you're very
well spoken you know a lot about a good amount of stuff like but but like i didn't know you so i
couldn't have said that you know what i mean uh-huh are you you smart that's for other people
to decide i think yeah how are your grades growing up very good i don't think that's i don't think
that's the standard no no no i'm just because i know people that had great grades
that are just fucking idiots it's fair i think i think to be smart you need to be well
like you need to be well versed in like not well versed but like able to hold conversation and
stuff and also a part of being smart is knowing when to say like i don't know and we that's a
part that i think we need to work
as it left your mouth you're like well that's not
what we do at all yeah but like they're getting they're not getting like the real versions of us
you know you gotta be able to be like no i i would i think there are things that you guys are
like know more about than i do as there are things that i know more about than you do and
stuff like that but like i think in terms of like our capacity for intelligence i would say all of
us are pretty close like i wouldn't i don't think i'm smarter or dumber than either any of you guys
what have i done why did i bring that up now there are other people that we know
that i have full-on called idiots all right yeah you know
that was so funny oh my god dude that got me good
well you have to know when to say i don't know that's important which we don't know but like
intelligence is also important
like your like desire to also like your capacity for learning like and willingness to learn like
people that are just like i know what i know and i'm not learning anything else i don't care about
other perspectives i think that is a form of an idiot a form of an idiot yeah form of stupidity
