#565 - Are We Ready For Pie?!

The episode opens with a playful debate about shyness, where the hosts struggle to define the word and joke about physical reactions, like squealing or rocking on heels. They transition to Joe’s recent family vacation to Turks and Caicos, describing a frustrating 45-minute tarmac wait that made him want to get off the plane immediately. Once at the resort, he enjoyed the beach but avoided deep water, panicking over barracudas and struggling with snorkeling gear, which he admits would have given his wife the “ick.” He rekindled a love for mint mojitos and praised the resort’s brewery. The conversation then veers into cocktail preferences, comparing spritzes like Hugo and Aperol, with mixed opinions on bartender flair. Food takes center stage next: they rank ice cream and gelato flavors, dismissing mint chocolate chip as overrated and praising salted caramel, cherry vanilla, and cookie butter. They also mock pies, with one host disliking cooked fruit, but agree to try cream pies on Patreon. Sponsorships for BetterHelp, Hims, DoorDash, and Little Spoon are woven in. The episode closes with nostalgic movie talk, including scary scenes from Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, and a brief nod to Hannah Montana. Throughout, the tone is humorous and conversational, blending personal stories with lighthearted debates.

late night bites with friends already hard to beat that first too hot bite of fries you couldn't wait for followed by ice cold pepsi now that hits different suddenly the energy kicks back in the night goes longer and the laughs don't stop because pepsi brings out more flavor more fun and more of the moment food deserves pepsi grab a pepsi zero sugar today welcome back to the we were live you can bring us right in from that welcome back to the basement yard hello that's pretty good that was pretty good we said are we putting that in there we should no no no no no do you i mean i could do it again actually i probably can't the lights are on what could that be it's whatever i wanted was that you do when you're shy i guess it was a little you don't act normal when you're shy i guess like you're just like some things just like what do you no all right don't look at me like i'm an idiot i'm taking it in i guess well how would you how would you do shy quiet air yeah just not making a squealing noise you don't got like a well what was this why'd you go rizzler there also what else were you making over there you little piggy that wasn't that that wasn't my noise i'm not necessarily with the pig you squealed but like that's not necessarily a noise i'm making that's my that might be the noise i'm hearing in my head like like leave me alone you know what i mean you are making the noise though yeah but i'm doing it to convey it to you oh you're saying that in your head in real life like ask me to ask me to be shy you want me to just ask you yeah i mean that's what i'm doing be shy in my head it's the squeal is that physically what happens when you're shy though i i'll be honest with you i don't i don't i can't remember being shy ever i think when i'm shy i rock back and forth on my my feet like i go from the tips to the heels a lot like what's the last time you were shy i don't know when i'm shy i really just i'm just like just don't look at me like i don't want to look at me i don't want to be bothered quiet i'm gonna ask a really weird question and and i hope you guys will follow me here sure shy is one of those words welcome back shy is one of those words that like we've used it so much but i struggle being able to accurately define it shy yeah like at the time i was like i don't know what i'm doing i don't know what i'm do you know what i mean but by that by like there are some words that like i we use we know it's like we know what they mean but like if you were to ask me to define it i don't think i could because i think that the word is like what it is it's kind of like shy is the word for that act like you're like yeah but uncomfortable still it's just like i can't define it i know it you know what i mean because it's the word i think that's why it's because like because the definition is the word itself yeah but it's like the definition is the word itself yeah but it's like an uncomfortable unfamiliar so your reservation yeah you're like being more conservative like you close you start closing a little bit yeah yeah i guess i it's just one of those things but like i i can't remember the last time i was shy i think the first time i met becca i was a little shy but after that i can't i feel like you're not a shy guy i'm not a shy guy not a shy guy not a shy guy like i remember feeling a little shy the first time her and i met but like i had to play it up you know what i mean like you haven't been shy since then i find that hard to believe i can't think of when i don't know what probably happens in moments like flat like shy like not like a year of your life yeah i was shy back in 2008 if we're thinking of shy in terms of like like you like i i kind of associate shyness with like there's an un an inability to put yourself out there like i don't recall ever you've never been in a room where it's like i don't really know anyone in here it's kind of like so there's like a shyness there i guess i don't because i guess in that regard i feel more compelled to want to to like instead of being like i don't know anyone here i'm going to kind of go in my shell i feel more of a like all right i guess i should probably meet people open up yeah yeah you know what i mean open wide you know but there's a shyness in the beginning it's kind of like oh i don't know anyone here and you're like ah but then you gotta like yeah maybe yeah can you get in you don't know anybody like hi you know hi and then you're like yo hi i'm frank yeah yeah that's a very like 90s way of putting shy like hi i'm back here

Self-awareness. I don't know, man. I'm not on the same team. The thing that I find a little bit gross is, like, oh, they're touching all my. My garnish is just, like, their hand. And they're, like, expressing it and then just putting their fingers basically in it. Yeah, but there's a certain, like. Yeah. You're making a drink and, like, there's a certain playfulness you need to have to it. When you take it, like, when it's too artistic for me, I'm, like, dude, it's alcohol. You're making poison. Yeah. You are. Like, you are. Like, that's, you know, it's, like, oh, wow, the artistry behind this crystal meth is incredible. I mean, there absolutely is an artistry to making drinks. I agree. That's like saying you don't care about your food and how that's presented. But, like, the person themselves need to have these. So, what about food? Like, you also need to just realize, like, you need to have. Frank wants his dinner. Just fucking throw it on the plate. I don't give a fuck. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I am saying. You know what he would like? Less effort. No, no. How about the bartender stop doing their jobs? See, what you're doing right now is you're fucking putting words in my mouth. If you just for 10 seconds, for once in your life, shut your fucking mouth and listen to me, you'll hear what I'm saying. I am saying they can have. I don't care the artistry behind it, but when they don't have the wherewithal to realize, like, this is ridiculous, I'm making a drink. Why is that ridiculous? I don't even think they're doing anything outrageous. Because there's a certain ridiculousness to it. What are they doing that's ridiculous? Shaking it? But it's just like, you need to, like, when they take the spoon and they, like, swirl it, like, in between their fingers, like, they're. I have never seen a bartender do that. Oh, there are people that do, like, there are TikTok accounts that I've seen. You know what I'm talking about. Maybe not because you exclusively drink at places. I'm just saying, when they get, like, too into it, it just, like, I see it. I'm just like, dude, you know, like, just be playful. Know what you're doing. That's being playful. No, but, like, there's a. Oh, no, by you. Something that you'll enjoy. Yes. Only you. Yes. What I enjoy is crafted by me. Not you. Step outside of yourself, buddy. Step outside of yourself right now. I think the word that I'm looking for, it's, like, it's such a fine. Fine line between, like, being whimsical and being, like, a bit of a dork. This is personally bad take. Personally, it's a bad take, right? I personally feel like I know that there are people. There's a sect of people that feel like bartenders are going over the top. Because, yes, when people are like, can I get a drink? And they start throwing the bottle and catching it and doing this. Yes. Like, to me personally, I'm in. Yeah. This is a bonus. For me. Cool. I mean, if it's a 10-minute show, let's wrap it up here. But, like, if you're doing it and it's kind of like whatever, cool. I have no problem with that. I definitely don't have a problem with shaking my drink. I see the shaking. And you'd like them to be like. You know what? You know what? This is ridiculous. No, no, no, no. That's not what I'm saying. But, like, the idea that they're giving me something and they're like, you should be honored that I'm giving it to you. How could you possibly feel that way? it's on their menu you order it they make it i know i know i know listen i'm aware in this moment that i might be being a little insane but for the sake of the conversation like i think that there's like there's almost like a sir i've been to bars where the bartenders have a certain like arrogance to them and like it's like dude you're just like i i value and respect what you're doing but like don't believe that because you're doing something you're now the most like tortured soul artist in the world i'm so confused i've never seen a bar oh forgive me that i guess i am i am of what places are you going to i'm not saying going now in my life have been to places like that i have never seen i feel like i feel like frankie if he came in literally tomorrow and you asked him the same question he might be on the other side but that's the beauty zoom in tight that's the beauty of this country in this world yes we get the opportunity to one day

compelled to get back and win winning already already winning i don't know he doesn't know anything could happen it's true it's a lot of time um okay well back to me uh oh we're done with you um we saw you can you pull up the the gelato thing i could pull we've had this for like weeks and we never brought it up but i'm so in the mood for gelato cares about gelato dude you don't care about gelato i don't think i've ever had gelato like proper what i've had ice cream because i'm an adult in america you've got a lot of hard takes i know i honestly that one felt pretty charged and i'm okay you've never had gelato in your life i don't think i have you've never had like a like a hazelnut gelato oh my god can i ask a serious question and i know i'm not the only person that that wonders this difference what's the difference between gelato and ice cream um you know for me it's just one of those things that i don't want to know you don't need to know i'm assuming it's something it's one of those things like if i went to a super artsy bar i'd be like what's your bartender that just shook my fucking you know my my vodka tonic for 12 minutes what's your favorite gelato that's what i expect so are these people that have gelato just fucking i'm starting to think that you've never been outside in your life that's what i'm trying i absolutely have your pet i love the outside i just told you i was in the ocean i feel like you're picturing the guy who's the food critic in ratatouille and you're like you can't on ego the guy that's the guy who you and you're like oh my god no no no no no no he's too i believe that's his name uh yo also check the name of that because that that movie the ratatouille being the food is outrageous not the name how could that be no no no i meant like that's the dish that got him ratatouille i if you want that movie is so beautiful i love that it makes i'm not kidding there are there i think it RIP, said that like that is the best movie about simulating the restaurant to like critic experience because like that's what they're all trying to do is like they're all trying to bring a dish that's not elevated elevated to a point that it elicits that response from people right that movie is on my list of what i believe are perfect movies i think that after i watched that movie i wanted to just be friends with a rat for like a little bit i'm gonna ask you a serious question yeah what's the name of the rat rat you don't know the name so that's what a lot of people name is um a lot of people think all right give me his first letter r a lot of people think it's rufus nope that's what's his name from fucking kim yeah that's a naked mole rat his name is um rodolfo good job so like what is it it's not rodolfo i'm aware that's a good guess i'm not gonna tell you what's the second letter no i'm not telling you e what do you get out of that you feel good i think it bothers you that you don't know it doesn't okay so live the rest of your life never knowing r frank i could look it up at any point in my life and get it but don't why not because if if you cared that what game are you playing in your head what do you get out of this i'm shaking my cocktail back here it's you you're worse his name is remy that's right i did know that his name is remy remy not rodolfo rodolfo is someone's name i'm not sure that's i don't think there's any other no there's a rodolfo i don't think good name i don't know if it's a rat's name but um gelato uses more milk less cream also if i brought in a lot of pistachio gelato and gelato ice cream and i put it in front of you you'd be like the difference is astounding i'm gonna go one step further pistachio flavoring is so mid oh i don't think so i think pistachio and like a croissant love that cool without it it goes i'd like it better than like a chocolate stuffed thing i just don't like pistachio i was talking with dylan of all people about this about pistachio pistachio because he i think he called himself pistachio aura and i said like such a mid flavoring yeah so i don't think so i like it but if you walk into a gelato spot if you walk into a gelato spot and you saw all these which like three are you considering you want off okay all right i'm gonna go off of not just the name of the the flavor but just the appeal of the like that is some of those are beautiful um immediately top easiest answer i've ever given in my entire life salted caramel yeah holy shit anything that's salted caramel i'm good it like and and not like i'll be cool around it i'll be shy around salted caramel i'll be like i like i love salted caramel anything it's i think it's probably one of the right below her brown sugar also always good so my three off rip i'm going salted caramel cherry and new york cherry dude i don't know listen i know i know please please please please please please please please please please please please for like just give me a minute of your time you've talked this entire time give me a minute of your time watch i'm shutting up now i'll never talk ever again oh no we're all hurting now what the fuck is taro what is that taro is like a uh berry it's like a root oh right am i am i wrong like taro behind that taro root what about cotton candy with two guns i'm shooting this thing i honestly wouldn't even consider that i don't i like cotton candy cotton candy flavored things is one of those things that like i just i can't ever get behind i think there was a time in my life though that i would not have passed up cotton candy i mean i the kids are there i can tell you that right now like there have been several times where i've gone to the ice cream shop they get cotton candy and they'll get cotton candy and they just won't like it because it's just like the blue let me ask you a question where are you i don't think it's up here no but where are you on like birthday cake flavoring and shit it's gotta be like it can't just be like there's just sprinkles in it it needs to have a bit of that like raw batter taste it's if it's just the colors then don't call it birthday cake call it confetti right like to my understanding like if you're gonna do like cake batter flavored things it needs to taste like you're licking the spoon of cake batter oh i love that i do too bad for you but with the point i was making about cherry i have had a you know how i was with my ice cream i was a briar's nash or vanilla yeah cherry vanilla lately cherry vanilla cherry it's vanilla with like cherry infused and then like giant chunks of cherry i love cherries no what the fuck is unicorn i feel like that's like a birthday cake yeah that's one of those where it's just like the colors are in there chunky monkey cookie butter might come home with me i'm surprised joe doesn't like chocolate therapy was that oh i don't even know what that is i don't know what that is i'm not a big chocolate i'm not gonna get that's a great joke that you made i like that a lot some people like also green tea i'd rather be shot by a horse i've never had green tea flavor like that's one of those things like i love green tea but the flavor of green tea and ice cream i can't imagine liking it i think i've been in a gelato place before and they had a uh one that was earl gray i'm like what is that i mean no it's i know what i've had an earl gray but like a gelato oh why yo also overrated cookies and cream it's overrated wow that is it's overrated cookies and cream anything is overrated you know what i don't feel passionately enough the other way to do anything but defend you here so i'm with you on but that's what i'm saying like the cookies and cream they like to put it up there with like the vanillas or the chocolates or like these heavy hitters cookies and cream is not not that guy i don't it's not cookies it's not uh uh all right give me your mount rushmore of cookie flavors cookie i mean sorry what of ice give me your mount rushmore of ice cream flavors vanilla duh cookie dough it's not your favorite it's about mount rushmore it's about mount rushmore the four that you would put as the representation i would i mean so okay whatever i mean vanilla absolutely i think it's vanilla chocolate strawberry they're the neapolitan and then what there's a fourth one what the hell would you even put there then if you guys want to play these rules oh my goodness that's a great it's like what would be the fourth though is there a fourth it's like the the argument like what's the third major city unfortunately you want to do this unfortunately you want to do this unfortunately the fourth would probably be like mint chocolate chip or some shit i will tell you three guns for that one i would put every gun that exists i think i think the obvious the easiest answer would just be just plain old chocolate chip boring i mean for me my favorite ice cream flavor is cookie dough oh mine mine right now is cherry vanilla if not regular ass vanilla america's top 10 ice cream flavors i thought it'd be bigger nope it ain't just zoom in just zoom in command give us a zoom yeah so we got vanilla chocolate cookies and cream there's no possible way this is overrated chocolate chip cookie dough i guess that makes sense chocolate chip cookie you know what's better you know what's better than cookies and cream oreo it's different is it brother is it different is it is that not is that not it feels different i think cookies and cream was birthed through the anus of oreo it's that's probably fair i just don't think it's it's like one of the heavy hitters is that mocha moose tracks what the fuck is that moose tracks is like there's like chunks of chocolate in or something but isn't tracks poop no that's that's the hooves no no no he means like uh like bear tracks marks you're talking like marks no track don't they say like bear tracks no that's bear scat and moose scat i swore tracks was like shit track is like the the paw prints like oh bear around yeah i don't know where have you heard of tracks being fecal matter joe might be right actually i have no idea so strawberry yo loki as i'm getting older strawberry is good it's making it's making its way up i fully agree fully agree it's making its way up cookie dough is just a flavor i didn't know that oh yeah it's it's basically just like a vanilla with cookie dough jerry's without the chocolate chip buttered pecan being number six that is mind-blowing my guy my guy my guy the south they love their pecan as they specify it down there mint chocolate chip is the biggest fraud in the world i i'm not even kidding you disgusting yeah i've had it and i still can't imagine how people like it i don't get it because there are certain things i could try and be like i get it there's people that like that mint chocolate chip is the like they just clash also like peppermint patties like that sort of thing where you're getting like minty chocolate like this is a very doesn't doesn't make sense i'm with you like i don't know i'm just go back to the gelato thing so my top three i went new york cheesecake i went did you i went new york cheesecake that's a good cherry and salted caramel give me your top three i see you said brown sugar what are the other two on there well i said salted caramel for sure because anything caramel i usually oh man see i don't want to get all the same type of shit though because i would do like cookie butter brown sugar and salted caramel But I'm going to switch it up. Ooh, can I? No, I'm changing the rules here. I was going to say, can I get two? I would order two. Like you get one in one? Of different scoops? Yeah. Like you get two scoops in one cup and you get. My guy, my guy, my guy. Just pick three flavors. Yeah. You can get one of each in the same cup. It doesn't matter. That's Frankie's eighth, my guy. Yeah. I'm going to go salted caramel. Yes. Welcome to the club. I'm actually going to go cookie butter. Yeah. Okay. And then I'm going to go. Maybe I'll go stracciatella. Can I ask? I was going to ask, what is that? It's just like chocolate. But why did not just call it? It's like chocolate, hardened chocolate syrup and like vanilla. Oh, okay. I think that's it. Stracciatella. I actually was on a TikTok account. Ooh, I might get the hazelnut if I'm feeling like a little hoo. I love how hazelnut is just almost chocolate. But there's. That nuttiness to it. I kind of like that. You know what I like? When shit has a little fucking chunk in there and I'm not really expecting it. See, I, I like a chocolate chip. I don't like a chocolate chunk. I feel like I need some, I need some rules in order to this. I can't have big chunks. Give me uniform, uniform chips. Don't just like a fucking cowboy in the wild west. Just fucking throw different size chunks in there. Yeah. There's. Yeah. It's like that scene in casino. Where he has the blueberry muffin and there's like two blueberries in it. And the other guy has one and it's like 15 blueberries. Uniform the chips. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I like a chunk if I'm expecting a chunk, but if I'm not expecting a chunk, what are we doing here? I, I, I don't know if I could go out and speak for you outside of the flavors that we don't understand like taro. Yeah. I don't know what that is. I think I can imagine that you hate the following flavor. I don't like lemon flavored pastries. Okay. I could see you hating lemon. Yeah. I think you're in the same boat. Like I go back and forth with it, but this would be too much for me. I, I can imagine you hate mint brownie because not only have they disrespected mint and chocolate, but then they put it in brownie form, which I think you're a fan of. That's a, yeah, but this is an abomination. It is. Yeah. Okay. It's like when like fucking two hillbillies. The cousins have a kid and it's like, what is this? The perfect lunch combo. That first bite of your favorite sub followed by ice cold Pepsi. Add a couple of friends and now that's next level. Suddenly the laughs get louder. The stories keep flowing and the food tastes better because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a Pepsi zero sugar today. You know, I forgot this was a Patriot, well, not a patron, not at all. I forgot, I forgot, I forgot, I forgot. Also we could do without raspberry, right? I like it. I like raspberries. I think raspberry shit is actually really good. I would throw green tea on the ground. Okay. Okay. Unicorn. I'm throwing on the ground. Uh, blueberry, like not, it doesn't deserve its own flavor. It looks too chunky. It doesn't deserve it. It doesn't deserve its own flavor. Like she looks too chunky. You have not earned a leading role yet. Blueberry. Although they are the leaders in pies, a blueberry pie. It's a fantastic pie. Gone on record. I'll continue to be on this record. I don't like any pie because cooked fruit is disgusting to me. Honestly, you got to come back around on that. They have the best muffins. Have you ever had a cobbler? Uh, no. Fucking cobblers. I just don't like, I just watched some dude on TikTok make a peach cobbler and like, it looked fun for him, but. I'm not in. It's good. Can you do me a favor? Yes, sir. Get like 12 pies one day and let's do a pie tasting. I did this years ago. Pie versus cake. And I hated all the pies. I had a cherry pie. I would have rather eat your ass after a workout. Wow. Wow. But also disrespectful to my ass because I know how much you hate cherries. Yeah. Well, I don't like hate cherries. Like, cherries are fine. I just, Gary V. I don't like cherries. No, it's not the cherry. It's the cherry pie. It was too much cherry. Didn't like it. Get, hit up your people from the bakery. Yeah, get the bakery. And have them make a cherry, a blueberry, an apple, a peach cobbler. Use the crumpety credit card on this, okay? The crumpety. The crumpety. And also, we're going to need a lot of vanilla. We're going to need a lot of vanilla ice cream on top of these. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. A bakery that's called the crumpety. Yeah, unfortunately, it's going to need more than that. It's not just a name. Billion dollars. Hold on. While you think about that, let's get to the rest of these sponsors. I just remembered that is a thing. Listen, we have here DoorDash, okay? DoorDash. You guys know DoorDash. You can go onto their platform and you can order pretty much, you know, anything you need to your apartment. Whether it be, you know, food. Food or something from a convenience store or anything like that. But also, I think a way that people don't think about DoorDash is in the way that you can, like, connect and help with other people as well. You know, we actually, me and Frank a while ago did this thing with DoorDash where for Mother's Day, we sent our moms flowers with DoorDash. So, you can connect with people in that sort of way as well. If it's Mother's Day or whatever it is, you can send flowers to people via DoorDash. And, you know, just for your friends. You want to make your friend feel happy. Or you're thinking about them, send them a little DoorDash. You know, they like ice cream, boom. They want some gelato, we're talking about gelato, send your friend a gelato. She's studying for her fucking quiz. Or your friend is, you know, going through something. Send them a little something. Maybe their favorite snack or something like that. It's a nice way to connect via DoorDash, okay? Don't just buy everything for yourself even though you could use it in that way as well. You want to make yourself happy as well. But you can use DoorDash to connect with the people that you love, sending them flowers or sending them their favorite tree. Or whatever the case is. You can help them out. I've also used DoorDash in the past. You know, Nicole wasn't feeling well before we were living together and I sent her a little care package with some, like, with just a couple of things, you know what I mean? So, it's like that, but go check out DoorDash, go give it a, go give it a check. And, yeah, don't be afraid to connect. You know, DoorDash makes showing up for the people you love easy, all right? Delivered, DoorDash, order now. And lastly here, we have LittleLight. LittleSpoon, okay? LittleSpoon supports babies from the very first feed. It starts with organic infant formula for those first bottles, then moves into baby cereal and baby blends when solids begin, first bites, first spoons, all of it. And, yeah, they have pretty much everything. It's, everything is designed for the stage that the babies are in. It's made with simple ingredients and it's tested for 500 contaminants, including heavy metals, so that you know that your babies and toddlers are not eating those contaminants. But they have a bunch of stuff. They have Beyond Smoothies and Yogo Snap pouches. I know Frank's big on the LittleSpoon. Oh, our kids went through those smoothies quick. They're very good. I'm tasting a little myself. How you doing? Also, it feels good to give them something that I don't have to worry about where it's coming from. Exactly.

Cream pies? Hiss this too many. It's not fair. Coconut cream pie? Hold on. What's better than a cream pie with a little bit of coconut in it? Or a little banana in your cream pie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yo, all jokes aside, banana cream pie? Fuck me up. Custard pie? Blasting that. Yeah. Yo, by the way, I will say, I had a pumpkin pie once and I fingered it. It's an unbelievable feeling on your hands. It's not fair. I wish we could end the episode there. Or cut to more ads. Can you just make up more ads? I guarantee you, you get a fucking pumpkin pie in here, which I guess is considered a cream pie, and you put your finger in it, you tell me that you don't want to blast the thing to hell. You tell me. You know what? A legitimate thing that we can and will do on Patreon. I do like custards, so I guess that makes sense. And I do like, I know I'm going to sound like such a boomer here, but I do like Cool Whip. So if that were the cream and the cream- How is that boomer? That's such a boomer thing, dude. I love Cool Whip. Cool Whip. Cool Whip? Yeah. I can see myself enjoying that. Like, I do like custard. Like, one time we made this, you've never been to Stamati's, but like, they have a dessert called, oh, you've been to Kiklades, right? No, yeah. They have a, it's like what they give you for free at the end. It's called like garlic to burrico. It's kind of like a custard pie under phyllo dough. A garlic booty hole. Yeah, yeah. I love a garlic booty hole. But I can't, I can't get behind a cream pie. Just, I can't get behind a cream pie. Just because. Nah, come on. Dude. Bro, don't get behind a cream pie. Get in the cream pie. Get in, be the cream pie. Be the cream pie. Don't just, don't get behind the cream pie. Get into the cream pie. Live in the cream pie. Yeah, you gotta get in the cream pie, dude. All right, so we are establishing here, Joey wants to be cream pie'd for Patreon. If there's ever a reason to go on Patreon and sign up, it's because you will see Joey get cream pie'd. You will. I mean, you have to too. You have to get it too. You have to get cream pie'd. I'm not saying I'm contributing to that. You're getting a banana cream pie and you're going to fucking like it. Oh, see how he put the banana in there because he's afraid that people aren't going to, why they're going to get it. It's a type of cream pie. You can't just get a cream pie. It's just cream pie. I mean, I've watched old timey movies from like the 90s. Like a cream pie just looks like it's Cool Whip in a fucking, what's it called? A fucking dish, pastry. Yeah, like that's what it is. Yeah, yes. That's what I was looking for. A graham cracker crust. You don't think that, why'd you say that like a parrot? You don't think that an apple pie, like aesthetically you're like, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Aesthetically, even, I've never seen a pie and been like, that looks ugly. Like it all, like the artistry behind the pie. I wish those goddamn bartenders put effort into pies the way they do their fucking vodka tonic. Yeah. You know? I, I'm really into pie. Like blueberry pie looks good looking. It just. Blueberry pie is fantastic. I just don't like cooked fruit. It's a, it's a texture thing for me. Like slimy fruit is not, I, I just can't. I think there's less of that in a blueberry pie. But I've had like, this is going to be the worst version of it. I know, but follow me here. I've had like the McDonald's baked apple pies. Uh huh. It's the cooked, it's the texture of a slimy apple. You like oysters. Yeah, but that's like, I'm, I like oysters cause I know that that's what's good. I don't know what they are. I like apples because they're crunchy and crisp. I don't know what this apple is. No, no, no. But like, I, I know apples to be crunchy and crisp and airy and soft. Not. Just change your mind. If only it were that easy, Joey. Just change. If only. You know what? Oh, I'm, or you're not, you're feeling the blues. Hey, just don't be sad. How about that? I can't just. Totally different. I can't just change my mind on what I think about apples. So because the first time you ate an apple, it was crunchy. You're like, I just couldn't. I just couldn't possibly imagine this apple in any sort of form. Not the first time. How about the first 33 years of my life? I had it and I was like, apples, they be crisp, they be crunchy, they be, they, they be tart. Yeah, it's just another way of doing it. Same with. And also you add a little fucking ice cream on it. Also, I've said this before, Harry Potter ruined me. Like, like this scene of. What? Harry Potter did what to you? Cream pie'd us. Yeah. Um, this scene of, of Ron coughing up the slugs when he gets hit with his spell back in him when he has the broken wand. That's what I imagine having an apple or peach pie is like the, the. But you don't feel that way about literal oysters. No, because I know oysters to be what oysters are. Yes. But they are like that. No, not to me. They're not slimy. Oysters. Oysters. Yeah, but I, I, I, I, I was introduced to them as slimy and I will live. But you're saying it's a texture thing and you don't mind the slime. Because I got into it knowing it's the slime. I did not get into apples knowing that these could also be slimy. They're not really slimy. Bro, look up a picture of someone dumping out apple pie filling. It looks like ooze. We're going to, we're going to turn this guy into a. Inside. What's that? Inside out. I didn't say that. You can't. Did you say inside out? We're going to turn this guy inside out. After Joe said he's getting cream pie on page three. We're going to get some cream pies in here and turn this guy inside out. Oh, by the way, you demonetized the video by doing that. Not me. No, you can say cream pie. It's a food. We sang in the beginning. It's going to be. Neil's not dumb. He knows. He's like, I know what they're saying. I'm into the cream pies, I think. Good for you, man. Good for you. Good for you. I've never had a banana cream, but that sounds really good. I don't. It sounds not awful. You don't. Is that you? You don't like banana shit? I like bananas. I don't like banana flavoring. Me too. I think it's literally might be the worst flavoring. And sometimes peach. Nothing worse than green apple flavoring. Oh, that's fine. That's a crazy taste. Nothing worse. I don't even know what. I guess like licorice is nasty. That's a good one. Yeah, but that's like, you don't even count those. Yeah. Who likes that? My mom. All right, we could count them. My mom. My mom. My mom might like it too, actually. I guess we'll count them all. My mom used to like. Didn't your mom like Good and Plenty? Yes. Oh, what a disgusting candy. Yeah. That's not even candy. She's earned the title of that makes her a disgusting person. Also, they look like pills. Yeah, what do we sell? They don't look like candy. They look like pills, dude. It looks like Dymatap. It looks like, oh, this is a Tylenol. Is there even sugar in this? Can we call it candy? But here's the thing is, I don't, like, not only are they not good, I don't want any to just find them as plenty. Yeah, one is enough. So what of the worst named things because they're not good and I don't want a plenty of them? It does look just like pills. It does, dude. How are they still in production? Just do me a favor. Google who the hell still has good and plenties. What does that mean exactly? Nothing's going to come up. Something will come up. It's just going to come up people like or a store. People like licorice. People okay, this is an order. Okay, who the hell still has good and plenties? And let's say Hershey. Hershey. Yeah, of course I was looking more for like a what kind of monster. Well, what did you do? It's not a magic book. It's not like just magic. Shut up. Yes, it is. It is kind of magic. It is kind of magic. It is kind of magic. It is absolutely. Yeah, you just like anything you want to know. Most things you just type it in. It is like how did the Choco Taco die before good and plenties? I think they're back. How did Choco Tacos? Whoever was not on board with that. You're a bitch. Those things are what? How did how the hell did give me a candy that is gone forever? How the hell did you do that? How the hell did? I can't even think of one. There might not be one. Yes, there definitely is like discontinued candies. Or do you like taffy? Like real like saltwater taffy? Yes. What's not taffy? The of the Laffy variety. Oh, no, I'm thinking of like taffy. Yeah, I do. I like how they package that. I like how they package it because it feels rustic, but it's just mass produced like everything else. But like the paper that it's in. It's like, what is that? Wax paper. No, I know. It just it feels like like it's like deli. Paper. Yeah, it feels. That's what I mean by rustic. You put like bologna on this. It feels handmade. Like, I feel like I'm how I'm supporting a real person by getting this. I love going into a shop also, and they have like a wall of flavors of shit. I'm like, let's go, dude. The next time I need taffy in my life. I'm just just taffy just for me. I mean, I'd be mad. Taffy didn't fucking aren't Hercules candy. Like, didn't they send us stuff because they were fans? That is true. Hercules. I am. We need you again. I am afraid of things in the mail that are food, though. That is fair. Honestly, yeah, I won't accept food from. I won't. I won't. I'm freaked out by it. Does anyone get put down like that anymore? Brother, it's ain't going to be the first. I'm not going to be the. Yeah, I can't eat the buffer fish. There's a place. There's a place in Asbury Park. That's like an old time candy shop. And like, it's like dudes wear little hats. Great question. Is there a bar? Yeah. Nice. You walk in and it's like, oh, a circular bar and then behind that There's another bar, and they're like, what do you want? And they just have, like, soda and milkshakes. You know, I don't know if they got that, so let me back up and manage your expectations. Oh, you meant, like, an actual bar with alcohol? No. Oh, let's go to that place in Manhattan that, like, makes, like, the old-timey Coca-Colas. No, I'm talking about a bar that you sit at. It looks like a bar, but you order, like, milkshakes and shit. Oh, they have one by me. A milkshake bar? Yep. That's fire. Dude, old-time stuff like that is coming back. It's only a matter of time. It could be called the crumpany. What about, wait, so the place that you, dude, that sounds so fire to be, like, imagine, like, after work instead of going to the bar. You go to the bar, and you get a milkshake. It has, I haven't been there in a while. I hope it still has it. But it has, like, you know, the booth, the single booth, single stool with, like, the cushion. Yeah. And you go up and down, and, like, it's a. Like the Jackson, it looks like Jackson Hole, but it has candy. Yeah, and there's a koala of candy you can get from and all that stuff. I think that's so cool. I only want it if the guy has a shirt. He does. With stripes. Like, the stripes, the red and white. Oh, fuck, yeah. Yep, yep, yep. And his name's, like, Elgin Stewart. Yeah. Or, yeah, Elgin. Yeah, his name's, like, Harold. This is Eustace. Yeah, yeah. He has to sing. His name is Eugene. I'm not accepting candy from a place like that unless the person sings it to me. He's got to be a lanky white fuck with a stupid haircut, dude. Did you see that Netflix is coming out with, like, a contest? It's, like, a Willy Wonka contest. They, like, built the candy factory. That's so sick. It's a show. Where it's, like, a real place? Look at, yeah. Look it up. It's, like, I think it's called, like, the Wonka contest or something like that. And you can, like, eat the walls? I haven't watched it because it hasn't come out yet. I am going to say there's Gene Wilder's AI voice, which I'm not pumped about. But, like, yeah, Wonka's the golden ticket. Wait, so people build, like, Wonka factories? I think. I mean, we'll have to wait and see. I saw just the trailer because the trailer came out. That is so fire, dude. I would definitely go there. They had, like, the everlasting gobstopper under the glass. And shit like that. That's sick. Here's the, don't show this, Jax, because we don't want Netflix to fucking punch us in the face. Yeah, we can't really show this, honestly. Honestly, it looks cool. Wait till you see the inside. Whoa. Nah, nah, nah, nah. They got the chocolate river. Dude. Also, there's something about a chocolate bar that I'm just really horny by. I'm right there, brother. You know, like, unraveling a chocolate bar, especially if you can do it neatly, and then you get to the foil, which is the underwear, obviously, and then you take the underwear off, and you're like, here you are. And I love when chocolate. Chocolate is kind of engraved on top, and also I love when it's kind of got, like, here's where the pieces break off. Yes, yes, yes. Fuck with that. And it's, like, perforated. Yeah. Like, it's like, you're going to break it right here, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. And then you break it, and it's like a clean break, and I'm like, fucking, this is like a sexual experience. It also, as a father, like, with young kids, like, it helps with, like, portioning out for the kids. Yeah. Because we've had, like, one year for Father's Day, the kids got me, like, a s'mores kit, and it comes with, like. Like, thing, like, the Hershey bars in it. It's so easy to be, like, half for you, half for you. Pop, pop. Did you know it's also a production thing to stop the bars from cracking and crumbling? It helps. Genius. I mean, win-win. Genius. Chocolate bars? In my old age? Coming back. I'm into chocolate bars. I haven't had a bar. You know what I haven't had in a while? Like a Snickers. Like a. Yeah. Like the. Fun. Like the fucking cigar bar. Like a. Yeah. Like a Milky Way or a Twix. I haven't had one in so long. Go out. Live a little. All right. I just meant, like, I just. It's been a while. I'm not avoiding them. I'm just saying, if Netflix hears this, if they do a season two of that Netflix, uh, Wonka show. And if you guys need someone to show up and just eat, could do that. Be honest with me for one fucking second. Are you doing the Augusta. Like, everyone talked about him. I would do the Augustus Gloop with the river of chocolate. He wouldn't do it. I would not do that. I would do a front flip into that fucking bitch. That's right. And fucking get in there. And also, shoot me up the tube. I don't care if I die in this thing. You want to, like, when I die, bury me inside a chocolate river? Yeah. Shoot me up the fucking. Whatever the fuck happens. Or I'll be like the other one. What's her name? Virginia? Who gets all blue?

Arthur Slugworth is such a good name. Such a good name. And looks like a fucking slug, too. Yeah, he does. Always reminded me of fucking. What's his name? From. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Isn't that him? No. That's not Slugworth? He's in that movie, I think. No, he is not. Really? That's Christopher Lloyd. That is Christopher Lloyd. Dude, when's the last time you watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The first time I watched it. It is an incredible movie. Watch it with your current adult eyes. It's terrifying, dude. It's scary. Well, that guy. With his eyes on, he's like, "And he talks like this!" I was terrified of that scene. Dude, pull up Judge Doom in fucking. Is that his name? Yeah. First of all, name is Judge Doom. What are you doing? Such a good movie. Such a good movie, dude. Yeah. Like, worth watching it again. I actually am going to be getting it soon. Yeah. See that scene? It scared the living daylights out of me. I'll be getting it soon on VHS. Dude, that's terrifying. Yeah. I didn't like that at all. That's not great. I was scared for way less. I miss when kids' movies try to scare kids. Now, they're just not. Like, this was a kids' movie. And it's like, let's just put something absolutely fucking terrifying in here. Yeah. Let's put on. Instead of Blippi just being all nice, let him, like, cut someone's head off. Well, no, no, no, no, no. That doesn't make it. Like, just put something in there that is just so out of left field, it's going to scare the shit out of people. Like, what was the girl in fucking. Oh, man. The woman in. The Exorcist. Yeah. Oh, no. That's not a kids' movie. And Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Remember the fucking. What was it? The bus driver or something like that? I don't know. I trust you. I've never seen that movie. Big Bertha, I think, was her name. Big Bertha. Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Big Bertha. I don't know. Or just put Scary Woman. Okay. I've never seen Pee-wee's Big Adventure. It's like one of those, like, cult classics that's like, "What the fuck?" Yeah, dude. Oh, yeah. This lady. I actually remember this. Does it turn into this in the movie? Yes. Oh, jeez. Yeah. It'll get you. Oh. I just. I love when kids' movies used to be like, "You know what? Something completely out of pocket is going to scare the shit out. Large Marge." That's what I meant. Large Marge. Big Bertha. Close enough. Large Marge. It's very Beetlejuicy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I believe this was made by Tim Burton, so. Oh, then. Yeah. I mean, that looks like a Tim Burton thing, but. Oh, man. Watch. Watch. Scare your kids, Frankie. Watch. Terrify your kids. Terrify your kids, Frankie. I'm going to write that down. They deserve it. But, like, it was better. Like, "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was good because it was kind of also scary. Do we know that there's not scary stuff for that age range right now? I mean, you have, like. I'm sure there is, but. You know, you're not getting "Monster House" anymore. You have, like, "Five Nights at Freddy's," so I guess. You know "Monster House"? You're not getting that stuff no more. What's "Monster House"? It's a movie from, like, 2006. It was, like, an animated, like, scary movie for kids, but it also had some adult jokes in there. 2006? I think so. I. It might have also been Tim Burton. "Monster House"? I don't think it was Tim Burton. It's Tim Burton-esque. Look up who directed "Monster House" right now. 2006! I'm on point! That's crazy. He really is. Is it Timmy B? Steve Buscemi? Oh, that just says that he's the voice actor. This is just for us, by the way. Yeah, it is just for us. Gil Kanan. Yeah. Who? Who's Gil Kanan? Exactly. Oh, he did "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire." Did he? Yeah. Wow. And the. Whoa. Whoa. Good. Cool. Cool. Cool. I mean, I wasn't a big fan of "Frozen Empire." I thought it was aggressively okay. Wow. I didn't see it. Mitchell Musso? From fucking Hannah Montana? I've never seen an episode of "Hannah Montana." What? Come on. Swear to God. I've never seen an episode. You get the linear math right. I knew the songs. I remember Josh was, like, obsessed with the songs. Oh. Josh was obsessed with the songs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like my party, dude. That sounds like a sick party. It was on the TV. I was invited. I just couldn't go. We get to live in our front. Ooh. Every time there is you, there be color. What song is that? The theme song from Hannah Montana. This is Disney Now. Oh, yeah.
