#564 - The Funniest Things We've Done For Attention!
84m 20s
In this episode of "The Basement Yard," hosts Joe and Frank navigate a sweltering studio while engaging in comedic banter. They begin by complaining about the heat and joking about sweating, which leads to a discussion about eating hot dogs, with Frank recounting eating four at his nephew's birthday party. The conversation shifts to video games when they examine a viral Captain America skin from Marvel Rivals, which features exaggerated male anatomy, prompting a debate about sexualized character designs, jiggle physics, and similar controversies in games like Mortal Kombat. They also share nostalgic memories of old phones, including Nextel walkie-talkie features, Sidekicks, and the anxiety of expensive data usage. The hosts then dive into a segment about embarrassing middle school behaviors, such as pretending to be injured for attention, lying about one's name (like "Dragon"), and cyber-bullying oneself on Formspring. Throughout, they incorporate sponsor reads for SquareSpace, Hungry Root, Angry Orchard, and Naturium, while promoting their Patreon, live tour, and merchandise. The episode ends with lighthearted farewells, despite the oppressive heat and playful bickering.

You said you had a hot dog in context Yes, I wait what I wasn't in like a legit one It was my my 13-year-old nephew was there and we were there for his little birthday get together and I was like Well, let's do a context and he was like Why I was like because I need this right and we both had four You couldn't beat a 13-year-old. I opted not to honestly. I was gonna let him have the last one because there's only like two more left I was gonna let him have it to win but he didn't want it so we both left having only had four You tied with a 13-year-old. That's crazy As like the hot dog guy I don't know if anything he's the embarrassing one for having lost to a 33-year-old Why is that embarrassing? He's only 13. He didn't lose. He tied. Yeah If you're not first your last baby, you know that. You're last. I know I know I fully agree. Wow. Okay, it is it is the burden I must bear now. Did you put anything on it or these balls?

It sounded like I do think that the the heat is making us all just a little silly today I think silly is I think we're all a little bit angry at each other. I think we should restart. Okay, all right And we'll we'll just be on like a good graces right now. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna refresh refresh. All right. All right No, no, no, don't say anything Don't say a word because you you're gonna do this whole preamble that we don't need. Let's just go from here. Okay Anyway, we should probably talk about Captain America's big fat dick. Oh Ha It's way there because I got I saw a picture of this before the show started and I don't I have questions and I know you guys have the answers to we do have answers So this is from the hit game Marvel rivals. Yes, which this is a video game. Yes, this is okay This is a skin of Captain America for the summer That is the most insane. Yeah, dude. Yeah brother that literally looks like someone put their foot In there and here's the thing looks like a shoe. It looks I'm not kidding. It it looks like he crapped his pants in the front Like if there was a human that like had some sort of irreversible condition where they shit out of their p-hole That's what it would look like that just looks like if I shoved my knee in it Like and and also this is a before and after because I'm assuming they dialed it back a bit. Yes still a massive mass I mean, hey man. That's America's cock and balls. That doesn't even look like what's his name Captain America? I mean, it's not it's not so it's not meant to Why is he wearing a bikini? So that it's like the summer thing. He's like a lifeguard, right? Is that the the skin? Yeah, I think it's like I think America's a lifeguard what happened? What happened to save in the world? We're watching a pull now. I mean, hey man. Sometimes the pool needs savings. Sometimes the world needs a savings So they're also saying that Marvel rivals sneakily did this they sneakily reduce the size of this you added a 10-foot long wiener to the video game and you wouldn't know if
you made it a five-foot long, you think we wouldn't know? - Listen, that looks like that there is someone with just standing in his pants. Like Ant-Man is in there and he's growing. - Dude, you're gonna put this guy in a video game that children are playing and you have literally, this guy's dick looks like a crocodile's mouth. - Well, yeah, I don't wanna comment on that in regard to that, but it certainly, this game is also though, 'cause you, I can almost guarantee you've not played this game. - No, it has some questionable like design choices, like there are kind of very sexual, I don't wanna say sexual, to scantle. There's a scantle to them. - Scantily clad, some of them are scantily clad, some of the female characters, they got big, some of them. - And there's jiggle physics? - There are jiggle physics, not a term that I'm familiar with. - Well, you can imagine. - So you've played video games, correct? - You understand that those games are, you know, made with code and all that, there is code in those games to make body parts jiggle. - Boobs and butts? - Boobs and butts, dude. - And this is a game where they're fighting. - Yeah, so it's gonna be a lot of jiggling. - A lot of jumping, too. - A lot of jumping, a lot of flying. - A lot of getting hit, you know, like hit back and stuff like that. - You know? - You've actually got boobs flying all over the place. - I played the game when it first came out for like a week and then I stopped 'cause I was, you guessed it, dog shit at it. - Nice. - But like, they have some other like squirrel girl was a big one that was in there. - Squirrel girl. - Squirrel girl. - I don't know how that is, but. - She's a, she's, like a squirrel. - She's strong and she could like, hang out with squirrels. - Can she fly, like a flying squirrel? - You know, that's a really good question. I don't know if squirrel girl can fly. - But what's her, what's her like? - Strong. Talk to squirrels. - She can talk to squirrels? - I believe that's her thing, right? - That's her power? - I think so. - She's not one of those like super popular ones, but she's, but why are we bringing 'em up? - Because she was one that like, people like, the fans of the game were like, goon and over. - Oh, 'cause she had a, 'cause she was scantily clad. - I mean, this is the thing that video games do sometimes and I think people are starting to kind of not like, you know, when they do it. - It's not an anime thing. - To like, I don't know how to offend the anime fans 'cause they'll, - Be careful. - Oh, you're an anime fan? I'll think like, I'm asking. - What was question? - If an anime they like, do that sometimes. Like sometimes the women are like, she's got the huge boobs and she's got tiny little ways and she's in school, the fuck? - Very big. Well, usually the ones that are younger, they're actually 3,000 years old. They kind of get away with that kind of thing. - Wait, what does that mean? - Oh, where they look like school girls, but it's like, they're an ancient deity from 3,000. - Yeah, no one really vibes with that too much, but that's what they, let's tell you guys. - Well, I can tell you like, I know for sure that like in video games, there have been characters that have been depicted like overtly sexual. Like female characters, 'cause let's be honest, it's mostly the females. I mean, outside of Captain America's big ol' wagon. - I mean, that is a crazy thing. - That is a crazy piece. - Yeah. But like. - That's not all anime, by the way. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna do that. - I don't wanna say that either, I don't, but, I mean, I'm asking a question. Joey would love Jeff the Land Shark. You know he'd play with Jeff the Land Shark. - I wouldn't play with, I had all the people in the world. I'm gonna play with a shark. He's like a little dog shark thing. It's kind of good. But, like this happened years ago with Mortal Kombat. There was a Mortal Kombat, I think it was Mortal Kombat 9. We're like one of the alternative skins like for Molina was just basically her with like tape over her tits. - Right. - And people are just like, this is guiding too far. This is gone too far. - It's, it's too much at a certain point. I feel like you can't just be, you know, we gotta play the video game at the end of the day. We can't be distracted by Jiggle. What was it? Jiggle? - Jiggle physics too, I'm sure I remember it somewhere. - Jiggle physics. - Jiggle physics. - I think people, like apparently that's gonna be a big thing in the new Grand Theft Auto game too, that like Jiggle physics are being added to it. And it's taking place in the game universe by city, but what we know as South Beach, Miami. So like, apparently the game is being modeled to have Jiggle physics. So people are like, if you could go to a fucking Miami beach or by city beach, it's gonna be crazy. - There's just gonna be a lot of butts. - I imagine. Miami was the first place that I ever went where I was like, wow, thong bikinis. That was the first time I liked because I was just up here, you know, with regular bikinis. I mean, I was a young man having seen Lida do a swan-ton bomb off of the ladder, so I had seen a thong before. Well, yeah, but she was wearing pants. Yeah, but I do like when pant and then it's like the thong is up there and you're like, whoa, this is underwear. Like when you're a young, that's like the coolest thing ever. You're like, I can see a little underwear string. I'm into this. - Dude early 2000s had like low rise jeans. - Yep. - And thongs basically pulled up to the shoulder blades. - Yeah. - And it was like getting out of hand. - Yeah, it was like Borat as a young man. I was not opposed to it. - No, I liked it. - As a now man. - Yeah, no, it's cool. - Yeah, but like, have you ever worn a thong? - Great question. - What's up? - What do you, great question to you? - I don't think so. I can't, I don't think I have. Ah, no, I haven't. - I don't think I've ever worn like women's underwear. I don't think I've worn women's underwear. I think, ah, no, I don't, I can't recall that. - So you're doing that and fumbling over your words? I know the answer. - No, I'm trying to honestly remember if and when I have. - What you're trying to do is black it out. It sounds like. Let me tell you something very clearly. If I have worn women's underwear and I recall it, I'm telling the story, brother. - You think I, I'm not fucking getting that out there. - Are you above a thong? - I don't think I am, I don't think I've been gifted by the gods to work a thong. - What do you need? - You got a good butt. - Captain America. - No, you don't need a huge hog. You can't wear a thong. - Brother, you put on a thong with a small, like you're, it's like etch a sketch. You could see it. - I don't know how that's like etch a sketch. - Well, I had an extra etch. - I just got you, I just got you, I just got you. - Yeah, what about a speedo? I don't think I have the confidence for a speedo. - Do you? - I would do it like ironically. - You need to go back to Europe like three or four more times to be like fully speedoed in. - I'd speedo in Europe. I haven't, I was at the gym at my building. It like faces the pool. And there was a dude out there in a speedo and I was like, I forgot. - I don't think it's for me, but I have the utmost respect for men that could pull off a speedo. - I think I could. I just don't, it's just not, it's tough. - It's just like, it is so, but it's also like, it's the hair. You know like you wear like the shorts, you can like wear that around. I would feel weird walking around on the, you know like if you go to the boardwalk or something. - I will say this, I know I gotta speedo. - I imagine it is quite freeing. - Oh yeah, I probably could run real fast enough. - Dude, I'm telling you right now, I think I would probably be able to like, wrestle an alligator in a speedo. - What does a speedo have to do with that? - It's just the confidence it would instill in me. - Oh. - I don't, I don't have it to either of them. - Do you think it would make you confident to wear a speedo? - I need a certain amount of confidence to wear a speedo. And then putting the speedo on would give me extra confidence. - How do we get to that confidence level? - Pay for me to get a wiener injection. (laughing) - A wiener injection. - Oh, so you would rather it be a big mess in there. - I mean, mess is not the word I would use. - A bigger mess is what I mean. - You still didn't specify the word that I said isn't the one I would use. Mess is the problem there. - To dude, wait, I think you were there. There was one time I was in the water in Miami. And then this dude came up behind us. And we were at like a certain depth in the water that it's kind of like near your waistline but a little lower or whatever. So when a wave comes, you're talking about probably him. But this guy's talking to us about something whatever. And then a wave passed and he was wearing a bright yellow speedo and I'm not kidding. It looked like this dude had a cat in there. - I'm sure. - It was insane. - I was like dude, brother. I'm telling you right now. - Brother, you're hiding a swordfish. I'm not even saying like, I'm not even saying that like everyone that wears Speedo's looks like Captain America and Marvel Marvel's. You know what I'm saying? But they carry themselves with B.D. - Four. - Sure. - Yeah, if you're walking around a Speedo, you can't be like, oh no, I'm wearing a Speedo. - But where are that shit? - And like, you also like, I know this isn't the place to do this, like the beach. But like, I close my eyes and I think of a man in a Speedo. They've got a bunch of rings on. They've got a big gold chain on. - I'm not thinking of that. - They've got those like glasses, the sunglasses that have like the bar at the top that like Tony Stark wears. - What? I don't even picture this at all. - Really? What do you picture? Close your eyes. - I don't picture anything really. - Close your eyes. - Close my eyes. - Imagine a man in a Speedo. - Got it. - Yeah. - Why are you touching yourself? - I'm just, that's for our audio only listener. - Oh yeah, we're all dying, laughing. - I think that, uh, what? - You keep making like gate jokes at my experience. - Where did it mean to me today? - Me! - You're being kind of me. - We're joking around. - No, 'cause everyone's laughing. - Because you keep making the same joke at me. - That you got dogged out? - Are you there to go again? - I don't like how all this is being said with my face all the time. - What? - Well, I'm doing it this way. - Oh, yeah. - When you said cat, they're referring to his bush. - No, no, but seriously, oh no. He wasn't, no, it was just a, it was just a large, - He's got time.
Small animal. He's got a tabby cat or shabby cat. Which one is it? What's a tabby cat? I think it's a type. It's like a tab Siamese. No, no, no, no a tab a tabby American tabby speaking of cats. Do you like those hairless cats? Only when they're kittens when they grow up they look evil, dude I don't know if I've ever even seen a kid. Oh, as a kitten. They look cute because they're smaller But then when they get bigger, it's like this is too big to have no fur or hair anywhere. I feel like all right Not now. Why are they hairless? Like that's my question. I think it's these don't look cute as a baby. It's like Mewtwo What a problem. What are the coolest looking Pokemon? This one looks kind of cute. They really they're really they're too not sassy for me. Yeah, they're very wrinkled I don't know man. That one's kind of cool though. The one with the blue eyes This that one is blue eyes too.

I Want I will show up my butt minus the blonde hair minus a blonde hair So minus the thing that makes him Johnny Bravo. Yeah. Oh, mama like that. Also this guy big creep. Oh, yeah Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one is not held up as well That one health has probably held up the worst. Yeah, I think any any other like heart like or like fictional characters in our family could resemble we we joked around and called Keith Harry Potter when we were younger Yeah, he looks like Harry Potter. That's an easy one. Edna Flintstone Before you go anywhere go back to Edna was it

Also, I Your mom reminds me of my high school Italian teacher. I Don't know the reference. Well, I'm just saying like when I saw your mom she's a teacher She she like reminded me of her and I was like, oh is that I've only met your mom twice Imagine and I I can't I can't like pinpoint Who she reminds me of but she wrote it's like one of those things where it's like it's on the tip of your tongue like people She does look like someone Famous but I can't for the life of me. Yeah, I'm not exactly who it is. And that's not a bad thing I don't know. I mean, I I asked my Italian teacher. I don't want fucking Johnny Bravo to beat me up You actually Italian teacher to prom. Yeah, really? Yeah, how'd that go? Uh, I didn't go with her Doesn't mean she said no, she had just gotten married, although I don't think that's why she said But she was like no and I was like joke. I mean, I was joking But if she would have said yeah, oh, well now I got to figure out. Yeah, there's not really a chance that no no no Also fired. I mean also Yeah, she said no, I think that she may have been at the prom though I was like I used to do that where the teachers would go and they would shrap around and just make sure no, you know Nothing crazy with business. I had a teacher once come up and separate me and a girl from dancing One time I had this girl This girl this is the first time I've ever heard this term But I was dating this girl and her grandfather died and I felt really bad, but she lived all of me in Jersey So I asked my mom like can I take the car and go visit her and whatever and it was kind of late at night I think I remember who this is and she was like she was like no, and I'm like why her her grandfather just died Like I just want to let go there and like kind of comfort. She's like no. I know what this is about. This is hanky Panky I mean be honest Joey it wasn't beyond your grandpa died Have you not seen wedding crashers? It's a movie.

Okay, and you're coming to see me because my grandfather died. Okay. Yeah Hey, sorry that your grandpa died. Do you want to like fuck right now?

Your mom is wrong correct for for not believing you correct, but if hank if if your Panky was gonna get hanky. Yeah, would you have denied it? No, so your mom was right Wrong you might not have been going with the purpose of panky and your hanky, but you definitely were welcoming a hanky That those are different things. I don't think so. I was saying that I was going there to be comforting and you said to your mom No, no, what I said was what the fuck is that? I'm person your mom Field actually was mad at her that night because I was like, why are you assuming that I'm lying and I'm trying to That's fair. It like whatever, but Hanky-panky I truly had no idea what she meant by that. I don't think I don't think there's something to call Sex that would turn me off more than hanky-panky.

What are those? - Oh yeah, what's that? - Can you zoom in on the page? Because some of us, some of us are older than others. Baking the potato, buttering a biscuit. I've heard that. - I've heard that one. - Buttering a biscuit, I've heard. Putting the bread in the oven, but that's like a pregnancy one. - Yeah, it's a bun in the oven. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's still like insinuated. - Getting one's kettle mended?

Don't like that at all. - White, wait, refreshment. - Yeah. - Bam in the ham. - That's a cake. - That's a good one. - That's a really good one. - What do you say? We slip into the bedroom and bam, bam in the ham. Bam, bam in the ham. - What does that mean? - Ham, I'm pretty sure is in reference to a vagina. - A vagina. - It's in fresh ham. Like give them the fresh ham. Isn't that a butt? Ham? Is it? I'm gonna give you a ham. Like when someone, give them the fresh ham. It's like they pants them, right? - Oh, I've never heard of that one. - I've never heard of that one. - Who was a ham in a movie? What movie was that? - Sandlot. - Toy story. - Hey, I mean, that's the, yes, that is. - The great ham, Bino. - Planting the parsnips. - Yeah. - Also taking that. - I like that one a lot. - Yeah. Feel free to use that one. - You know what I'm saying? - I mean parsnips are not like, I don't wanna, parsnips are pretty big. - Are they parsnips are a larger carrot? - Whatever. - All right. - Sending out for sushi, disgusting. - Yeah. - Tossing a hot dog down the hallway. That one I heard is like, it's a disc. - It's a disc at someone where-- - So you got such a cavernous vagina. - Yeah, so it's like tossing a hot dog down the hallway. - Yeah. - Yeah, so that one seems mean. - Also your corn ground? - Excuse me. - That's a butt one for sure. - For sure. - The butts. - Corn is butt? - Yeah, I've always heard corn is like a butt thing. - No. - Like he's corning. - Huh? - Oh, I got it. It sounds so gross. I'm not the only one that has heard that before. - A corning? This one. Groping for trout in a peculiar river. - What planet? - What that means? - I don't know if any of the food related ones that I've heard so far, like if any of them were used, it would be a conversation. - We're not going to do what you want to do. We are going to talk about why you use that phraseology. - You ever see the videos of them trying to catch fish or catch fish in the river? They shoved their hand in the hole. - Yeah. - That's called noodling. I like that. Speaking of noodle, bringing an al dente noodle to the spaghetti house. (laughing) I guess the vagina is the spaghetti house. - Yeah. - Of which I love spaghetti and you love a house. - So I'm not opposed to that one. - Also, al dente noodles are the best way to cook them. - I would say that an al dente wiener, if I were to be into wieners, would not be the way that you would want one. - How would you want one? - I imagine that wieners are considered best when they are fully erect. - Oh, raw. - So it would be an undercooked or just raw. - Or just yeah, an uncooked wiener. - It's fair. - Doing squat thrusts in the cucumber patch. - That one's kind of looking good. - That is quite divisible. - Also, wait, squat thrust. - Yeah. - Isn't that like the air squats? What's a squat thrust? - It's like a, oh, so like you go down, oh, a hump, okay, I got you. - And now for the, what the fuck version? We have bedroom rodeo, I think that's like. - I think that's a fair one, basket making. - Doesn't make any sense to me at all. - I don't know, I mean, basket making. - Yeah, I can't imagine also what would, why, you're not making anything there. - No. - Outside of, maybe a child. - Doing the devil's dance? - I can guarantee you that was said at some hardcore church down south version. - My CCD teacher probably said that to me. - Yeah, hot yoga. - You doing the devil's dance? - Hot yoga is a, you need to be careful with that one, because-- - Exercise class. - Yeah, because if someone were to, if Becca were to ask me, you wanna do some hot yoga? I'd say, fucking ill, no, but if she meant, if she meant engage in sex, that would say yes. - If she, if she, you know, yeah, if she said that, but she really meant groping for trout in a peculiar river, then you'd be like, yeah. - It's just too long. - Yeah, it's just, why parallel parking? - Parallel parking, I guess 'cause you're both. - Parallel. - Go forward and back. - I don't, I-- - You've made it more confused. - Yeah, I don't, I don't particularly enjoy parallel parking. - Rolling in the hay, I like that one. - I've heard that one before. - Hey, we're gonna go roll in in the hay. - Although having sex in hay sounds miserable. - That sounds like a farmer thing, like that, that's it. - Oh, we met in the hay house and we roll, we had it rolling in the hay. - I mean, if I lived on a barn, I would definitely like get in the barn and go crazy sometimes. - Brother, hay is sharp, it is sharp, sharp. - Yeah, that's gonna fucking, ooh, that might end up in places you might not want it to be. - Wedding the willy? - Okay. - I don't like that one. - Matrimonial polka. - Maybe if I hated sex, I would like that one. - Poka, bumping up at least, I've heard. - We've heard that one. - Yeah, that one's a good one. Chesterfield Rugby? - What the fuck is that, Chesterfield Rugby? - That just, that sounds. - Who's calling it this? - Dancing the goat's jig. - What? - That sounds like doing the devil's dam. - And that's pretty much the same as that. - Because goats aren't they like symbolism. - Black goat, yeah. - For the devil? - Yeah. - For like, for that stuff. Two person push-ups? - Going heels to Jesus. That's fucking hysterical. - Heels to Jesus. - Jesus is up. Get those heels up. - Have you ever heard of one that you haven't seen on here? I've heard of wearing ankles as earrings. - No, but that sounds like going to heels to Jesus. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Putting the wand in the chamber of secrets. - Well, that one, honestly. - Oh, no, I mean, I hate that one. - You ever gonna? - This one just says, "Seeing a man about a dog." What the fuck is that? - This has gotta be picked out of like, they're just like, oh, what are you doing tonight? I'm just going to see a man about a dog. - I mean, I mean, I imagine someone said that in the context of like- - I'm sure that it's been, like I could see that one honestly more than Chesterfield Rugby. - Like we're out and you're like leaving a place. I'm like, you're gonna go see a man about a dog. - Yeah, I could see that being one for like, you know. - I could see that being one for sure. - And then lastly here, we have taking old one eye to the optometrist, old one eye in reference to the wiener. - Two. - Pean has one opening, most of them. - But. - I got jumping bones once. - Jumping bones, I've heard, knocking boots, I've heard. Oh, heck, he's up there. - Thank you, thank you, sucks. Tapping ass. - Pro clapping cheeks is so fun. - Clapping cheeks, that's one that I love a lot. - So amorous, Congress. Why the fuck is that in classics? - You literally could convince me that is a branch of government. - Yes. Jumping bones, I've heard, knocking boots, I've heard. Funny business. But see, funny business was not just sex. It was just like everything of, like, it was anything. - It was horse and a round. - It was anything, like, you know. You and your friend, what are you guys doing down there? No funny business. - Yeah, did they mean something? - I mean, you know, now that you say that, maybe your parents thought we were hooking up. - No, Frank, they did not. - So then why would they say it? 'Cause it probably doesn't mean that. - I'm using urologic against you. - I'm not. - There's not much. - What? (laughing) - I'm not. Wait, I actually just remembered something that I wanted to talk about. - Love? - Love when Joe remembers something. - I feel like, it's gonna take a while though. I feel like. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - We need something. - What do you need, what do you need? - No, no, no, no. I mean, like, I want to do it, but I think it's gonna be a funny conversation because it's such a Frank thing. And I just remember that. - We got time, time, time. - No, I know, I know, I know. I'm just debating whether to wait until after the ads and then to do it. - Just do the ads early. - You got it. (cheering) - That was a good idea from me.

All right, I'm sweating. But I wanted to bring this up because I'm like, I saw this TikTok, and I'm like, this is the most frank thing in the world. But I, hold on, I saved the TikTok. So I have to just, I have to pull that up. Because the original one is also hilarious. But it was a girl talking about when she was in junior high. These are some things that she did. Are you fanning your wiener? No, under my shirt. So this girl posted a TikTok, and it says things I did in junior high to get attention. And then the first one, she said that she put her fit bit on her ankle so that people would think she had an ankle monitor. And I'm like, yo, that's hilarious. So I was laughing at the video already. Then I went to the comments. Some of these are so good. I've never had a fit bit. I cannot imagine I would have done that. No, but these things in general are-- I know. So I like how he started by Frankie would love this. You know what I'm like? No, because I know what he's referencing. I was in middle school, like one of those kids is like, my uncle worked for Nintendo. But he gasses it up to a point where it was like great. No, but some of these are so funny. So I screenshot some of them, and this one says, I wore colored contacts and would tell people, my eye color would change with my mood. Damn, that's-- Oh my god, you remember mood rings? Do I? They were big when we were in school. I would wear it. Like, you had one? Well, I would put someone's on. And I'd be like, oh, it's red, because you're in love. Yeah, or something, I don't know what red would mean. I remember my middle school girlfriend had one, and I would like look at that shit. I'm sorry, I have a question. Yeah. Color contacts. When I was in high school, I walked up to-- this guy walked up to me and was talking me. I'm like, yo, dude, your eyes are so blue. Like, random compliment. The first time I'm talking to this guy, turns out he had fake contacts the entire time. When do you tell somebody? Immediately. I think it's an immediate thing. I think if you wear contacts that change the color of your eyes as an adult, that's a little crazy. It was in high school, but like, how do you not tell me, like, right there what I'm talking about? If I had no plan to talk to you ever again in my life, I would let you think it. It turns out he-- Oh, OK, that's fair. I would tell someone that I'm going to have to see it again, but I'm not going to tell a random person. He was dating one of my pretty good friends. I talked to him about that. I will tell you that I fully in middle school said this out loud and planned on getting the contacts that made your eyes all white except for the black dot. Like Ray Mysterio? Exactly. [LAUGHTER] Exactly why I wanted it. I used to want those two. Because you'd come out and just look sick. And I'd be like, yo, that would be cool to have. For the other ones like Limp Bizkit, we're trying to turn it all black. Oh, the guitarist, the bassist for Limp Bizkit. Speaking of Limp, this one says, I would Limp around for no reason. Maybe someone would ask if I'm OK. I'm sure I did-- I don't think I-- I definitely, if I had an excuse to Limp, I would take it. If there was an ace bandage in my house, I was wearing it. And it was-- Oh, I got hurt catching a touchdown for the championship. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, well, my elbow hurts because I hit a walk off grand slam to win the World Series. Oh, and we won money. Did that ever work? Sure it did. You get attention. Yeah, like you know what I mean. There's no end goal. Oh, I thought the goal was like, I kiss someone's-- No, because that would be way too far. Yeah, I just wanted attention. Yeah, whoever would think that far. You'd definitely why you're doing it. I wasn't always like, oh my god, I'm so hurt. I'm trying to get some ass right now. I just wanted some pity. Well, you should be. But the pity would be, you're so cute. I could take care of you and kiss you and touch your butt. I mean, I thought of it more as like, not that I'm hurt, but I'm fine. Well, that thing is like, you would prove like, oh, I'm tough. I've been fine. I'm tough. Like, I've brought this up before. But I remember years ago, I found like, remember how you could save logs of conversations on aim? I found one where I was talking to a girl. I was just like, you know, like telling you I like you is the scariest thing. And I'm not scared of anything. I've been bungee jumping and steered a rabbit raccoon in the face. Yeah, it sucks. You wrote that? Yeah. Yeah, dude. And that's just what we remember. That's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This one says, I never did anything outward. But alone, I'd act like my crush could see me through hidden cameras in my house. I also act like factory boys calling me up on stage for my favorite song to dance with them. Oh, I would do the whole like laying down in the shower thing. I would like, I was doing like waking up like, yeah, or like, you know, like I was in like the burn music video. Yeah, you're like kicking the water like I'm shaking the water and, you know, have you ever pretended like your crush could see you through hidden cameras in your house? Ooh, that's a good one. No, I don't think so. That's a good one. That is a good one. Oh, I'll like, if I throw something and it goes into the trash man, I'll toss like a to nothing. Oh, what? I'm like, oh, you saw that? Like, yeah, like, I mean, I was never a big, like, Kobe Bryant fan, but like, I wouldn't hit Kobe, you know, on anything, like I just be like, oh, Kobe. Oh my god, do you see the video of the little kid going, I'm not Kobe, I'm Steph Curry. No, God, I was adorable. Loved it. People, times are changing. People probably do the Kobe thing and don't even realize where it came from. Probably some people. This one says, I wrote about myself on the bathroom wall and cried about finding it. That's a bad, that's a good one. It's like Sarah's a slut. It's like, who the fuck is that? I got accused of that. Of what? Of, like, something like that. Of writing something about someone else? Or writing something about me? I was in college and in, like, the school newspaper, someone wrote, Frankie Alvarez, you're so cute. XOXO, your secret admirer. And my buddy, Sly, sent it to me and he was like, yo, this is you. I'm like, I swear to God, it's not. He's like, I'm not going to believe it's not you. So someone was flirting with you via the school paper? Yeah, that's how old we are, dude. Good Lord. They put it in, like, the, like, what was the place on the, like, the newspaper back of the day where it would post, like, you know, like, that's how you'd find jobs. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, the movies that were coming out that week, the movie times. That used to be a thing on Craigslist. It would be misconnections. And it was like, I saw a girl on the whatever. Me and Greg, when we first started OPL, we were trying to reach out to people. And we would go through misconnections. And sometimes you read some crazy shit, like someone being like, we, you were in line at Starbucks and you farted. And like, you said, excuse me. But I like, I love the smell of your farts. Like, legitimately, that was one of them. Oh. Like, who knows if they're actually, like, legit and real? I mean, but here's why I would think that they are because they're posting that anonymously and they get nothing from it being-- That's fair. Like, they get no attention. Like, it's not like it's like, Joe Sanding got a wrote that. Yeah, this is a good one. I went on vacation to Disney World and met a girl at the pool and told her my name was Dragon. That's fire, dude. That is so sick. Told her my name was Dragon. I think I didn't really go on many vacations when I was younger, but that feels like an easy one. Like, if I was on vacation, I'd probably lie about everything. I went on a vacation and I lied about my age, my job, all that. You're just, wasn't, weren't you on a vacation when you, when you were lying about sleep talking? Yeah. Yes, I was. Yes. So what if I like her? Yeah, it's exactly such a good story. Don't cover your face with your face. I was-- it was around middle school time. I went to see my family. I have family in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Oh, yeah. And my cousin took me to a party. And there was a girl there that was cute. I thought she was cute. And I told her I was a 19-year-old actor that drone.
and escalade from New York City. - Frank, you drove an escalade from New York to Jacksonville, Florida. That would cost thousands of dollars. - What are you saying? That's the funniest part. My idea of immense success at 15 was being a 19 year old actor driving an escalade. - That's amazing. How old were you actually? - I must have been 15, 14. - That's great. - Around that time. This is a good one too. - I said, I had to ask FM. Do you remember that? Like, you remember form spring? - Yes. - Where you can just ask questions. - Economously. - Yeah. - People would ask you questions, you just answer them. So I had to ask FM and post a link to my Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, so people could ask me questions anonymously. I would ask myself questions about my crush and Loki's cyber bully myself and answer them defending myself with witty complex. You know what? That's amazing. - I feel like that's something that probably happens a lot still. - A hundred, first of all, I had a form spring and of course I was asking myself questions. - Oh, really? - Yeah, about like my crush, so that she would see it. - Oh, really? - Yeah. - Oh, you sleep a little bit. - Like I would sleep a little bit. - See, and then he, I'm glad you admit that because if you were to ask, that would have been me, but no, I would have been the one that wrote a letter and be like, it's facts. This is a tear because I was crying thinking about how beautifully you look. - Right, yeah. - The diabolical and middle school in other ways. - I would definitely haven't cyber bullied myself and like, you had witty complex to a cyber bully. I don't think I cyber bullied myself, but like, people do that with like burner accounts and shit like that. - Yeah. - I do not have the time or the care to have a burner account. - Bro, the form spring days were, it's crazy. - There was another one that was on my collar, oh, also, I would be in other girls's form springs asking mad questions. - Yic-yac. - You remember? - Oh, yes. - That was like a college campus one. They had it on my campus and it would just be like, oh, R.A. Frank is so hot. And I'd be like, who the fuck? - And you would do it? - No, no, I would be, but I'd try to like figure out. I'd be like, ha, ha, who are you? (laughing) - Oh, under a burner? - Yeah. - Ha, ha, ha, right. We should meet up. - Uh-huh, let's meet up and talk about how he is. (laughing) - Who is this? - At the dining hall. - That is some pure diabolical shit. - I've done that though where I've gone until like other girls is like, ask FM's or whatever. And I'd be like, do you have a crush on someone in your class? - Oh. - I mean, I was notorious in middle school, Furby and like, you know, not seeing the girl and not talking to her, getting the screen name, talking to her online, and then it's like, let's play 21 questions. Yeah, you know, and it's like question one, what's your favorite color? Question two, what is your favorite song? Question three, how far have you gone? - How far have you gone was such a question? - Such a ridiculous question. - How far have you been looking back? - You know. - Or what do you think about me? You know, is it like that? How do you feel about Greek and Colombian men? - If you were to say like, you prefer Greek or Colombian or criminals, who would you say? - Criminals. - Yeah. But yeah, there was so many good ones. - I remember in high school, it was like to like, try to get people to like you is like that you partied. Like I remember in high school just being like, yo, we'd get so fucked up. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? - It was a big one. Or even in like the early years of college, where it would be like, yeah, you guys party? Not like us, we get so fucked up dude. - Yeah. - We drink so many beers. Like someone's gonna see that and be like, ooh. - Yeah, when you thought it was just like so cool to be drunk and you're like, you have one drink and you're like, I'm not a fucking feminist. - Yes, like honestly, I'm fucking like already, like this is the most drunk I've ever been. - I'm already feeling it. - Like, that was not attractive in any capacity. - This feels like a frank one. It says, I used to wake up and tell myself, I'm not gonna talk today. Just for attention, always failed. (laughing) - Yes, I'm not talking. How's that? - There were, I remember, I did this a lot as I was younger and honestly sometimes I do it now. Like I just, I go as long as I can in the morning without talking. - Yeah, you said that. But also in my middle school, they had a day where it was like, don't speak day. And it was like, it was, you'd sign up for it and it was like a, you'd get a laminated card and it was in support of marginalized communities, men and women of color, people in the LGBTQIA plus community, like to support them, you opt not to speak today. And my school was like, the school, baccalaureate was like super progressive and they like really honored it. So I would sign up for it every year. So I'd have one day where I didn't have to do any work. I would just, I'd be like, oh, so they would just be like, you don't have to talk. - Yeah. - You didn't have to do work that day. You didn't have to do group projects. You basically had a free day and you just didn't talk. - That's kind of cool. - The tea, Frankie comes in with the land here and every teacher goes, yes, thank God. - No, I wasn't, I wasn't getting in trouble for talking. I was just getting in trouble for existing. It's kind of a bad ass honestly. I got in the wild. - Yeah, I got in a lot of trouble. - I got in a lot of trouble at school. - We had detention, I was there for sure. This person said, I would trace drawings and pretend I drew them. (laughing) - That's a pretty good one too. - That's a good one. - I would do something like that. I don't think I ever, I can't remember anything that I did like that, but there was a lot of like, trying to get attention via pity. - I, like, if I get a black eye, I'd be thrilled. I'd be so thrilled. 'Cause I'm like, oh my god, look like a, you know, whatever. And also I could lie. Well, that's why when we were younger, like, down to a fight with eight guys, we would do like, those like, jackass-type stunts. And I was like, I hope my girlfriend's coming around to see us do this where I get kicked in the balls, 'cause I'd be so in pain and I, ugh, but I'm okay. - You know, like, there was like a machismo. - Yeah, there was like a machismo. - Look at me get hurt. - And look at me get hurt, but I'm fucking, I'm good. And like, oh. - It's so dumb when you think it's cool. - It is so dumb, dude. - Like, when you're a young, you're such an idiot. - It's funny because if I had listened to what like the older people said was stupid, like, it was stupid. - Yeah. Like, it was not like, it was like, no, actually, that was pretty sick. - Also, do you remember how fucking much you thought that a brand new pair of sneakers would make you just infinitely faster? - Well, that was like, like Mike did a whole number on us as kids. - It was like kind of later, I feel. - Like Mike came out to, I think like 2003. - Really? - 2004 maybe, look it up. - I remember, I remember there was this kid on my blog, this kid Omar, and he was like, I could definitely beat you in a race, and I had just gotten a new pair of shoes, and I remember saying to him, like, in these shoes a no shot. - Really? - Yeah, like, I remember vividly being like, not in these shoes. - I mean, I think though, like, that has been proven. Like, certain shoes are made for running, so they're lighter, they're bouncier. Like, they are going to help you. - I'm wearing basketball sneakers. It's not like running sneakers. - Yeah, but like, there is a difference, 2002. - Wow, so we were not a 10 years old when I came out. - Fifth grade? - Wow. - Actually, it was fourth grade, going into fifth grade. - Oh, that's right, yeah. - We were like, like, I remember to play kick, whenever we were playing kickball, I would specifically wear my boots, my Timberland boots, 'cause I convinced myself that kicking a kickball with Timberland boots made it go farther. I mean, maybe they're heavy. - Like, the logic's there. - I mean, I know, but as a 10-year-old or a 12-year-old, it shouldn't have been there. - Yeah. - It's better than flip flops. Break a toe. - Did you ever do any of that stuff? I was trying to think this entire time. I'm sure I did. Nothing really comes to mind. - Did you guys have, like, screen names that you were big on that? - Or no. - I don't really. - I don't really. - I don't think they were just after AIMs, like, popular. - Like, AIM was only popular for that long. - AIMs, I remember it dying down around 2009. - So, you were, like, 11 at that point, 12? - Did you have BBM? - I had a sidekick slide, so probably. - Well, that's not-- - That's not-- - But I'm talking about, like, blackberries. - Like the phone. - No. - No? - I don't think that was-- - That was, like, the biggest thing. - I don't think I had a black car. - That was even older, bro. - Yeah, and the next cell was 100% older. - I had, like, Samsung phones. Before the iPhones were cool, kind of. - Oh my God, Samsung's. - I had, we had AIM, and then we had, I had next cells. - I remember sprint, 'cause sprint bought out next cell. So, like, they incorporated that into their phones. - I never had a phone that did that. I was furious with my parents. - The reason that the next cell was cool is because you would press up on the volume button, and it would play your ringtone. - Yeah. - And I made my own ringtones, and it was just the full song. - Right. - So, I would just sit there and play the song that I wanted to play. - Everyone would do that. They would play the song. - Yep. - In my white tea. - Yep. - Yeah. - And then also the talk, it was like a walkie-talkie. You could just hit your friends like, and then you'd say everybody, and you think it was bleep bleep, and then your phone would just play someone's voice. - That's dangerous. - Yeah, that happened to me in school, like once or twice. And they'd be like, "Yo, what's up, penis-licker?" And I'd be like, "I'm sorry, Mr. A." - Yeah. - Damn, that's such a stupid feature now that I'm thinking about it. Like, I could literally just hit you at any point.
Well, I think it would go, I think at a certain point it would go off like a call is incoming It was it was called PTT push to talk. Yeah, and it would say PTT Frank because you had to have a separate number for PTT Oh, so like I would need like your PTT number in order to do that But you can't stop me from talking. I think I Fuck I can't really remember now, but I think they put it in so like it would be like incoming PTT And you'd have to answer it. Do you remember people used to like customize their shit like my sister had a case That like lit up. Yeah, bro, they had like see through red ones. Yes, I remember the one that they had that I had It was the first one that had a camera on it.
