Welcome back to the. Welcome back to the basement yard.
Oh, sorry, are you on the phone?
Give me a sec.
All right.
No, what are you wearing?
All right.
All right, he's looking at me weird.
I love you too, mom. Bye.
I love you too, mom. Bye.
That was obviously a joke.
Wow, look at the green boy over there.
Yeah, who are you, Hunter S. Thompson? What are you doing here?
Yeah, should I be offended by that reference?
I don't even know who it is.
Are you the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
What's that?
Oh, the poster.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was based off of Hunter S. Thompson.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, you know what actually is that offensive?
Wasn't he like an author?
I don't know.
A lot of author talk recently.
Probably, yeah, too much author talk.
No, well, this is the basement yard. This is not author talk time.
Yeah, no.
Trust me.
You're greened up today, though, Beau.
Green?
We're green, green, green, green, green.
I just called him Beau.
What was that?
Where are you? Where are you green?
Oh, well, he's doing the less is more Brooklyn look.
You know, the like, you know, quiet luxury.
How much was that shirt?
800 bucks?
No.
It's just a T.
From who?
From Prada?
An Australian company.
From Givenchy?
From fucking. Givenchy.
Yeah, that's one.
Yeah.
The glasses might be overkill with the green, but I saw them over there, so.
The world is green?
What does that mean?
Because you know how people say. Do you know how people say, like, when you see something through rose-tinted glasses,
that means that, like, you see it as, like, a good, like, wholesome, hearty thing like that?
Well, I think rose-tinted glasses is more of, like, you're a bias or something.
Or, like, you're choosing to be overly optimistic.
Yeah, like, you're choosing to. Like, kind of almost like a naivete.
Yes.
Like, you're seeing things, and there's, like, there's nothing else.
There's no depth or, like. But a green one.
Yeah, what is it. What would it be if you're seeing the world through a greeny-tinty glasses?
I'll be honest with you.
I don't know.
I also thought you were wearing a Kangol.
What's that?
Ooh, yeah.
That did look like a Kangol at first.
How can I explain what a Kangol is to a. Kangol was like a. Like a paper boy.
No, well, that's. A Kangol is meant to be worn backwards.
Yeah, never mind.
That's like a newsy hat.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like you're, like, an old-time. Type in Kangol.
How do you spell that?
K?
Yep.
Angol.
Nah, you fucked that up again.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's Kangol.
That's an animal?
It's a Kangol, like an a-hole.
I see it.
I see it.
You said. Yeah, right.
So, like, that.
Oh, I guess they do them forward and backward.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Big, big in the mid-2000s.
I mean, boy, oh, boy.
Anyone that was anyone wore a Kangol.
Look, see it right there.
Al Pacino's wearing a Kangol.
I would wear one on a golf course.
I would wear one on a. Oh, that's not Al Pacino.
That's. Al Parchino?
That's not Al Parchino.
Is that RDJ?
No, that. Isn't that a. What's his name?
This is RDJ right here.
Yeah, that is.
But isn't that. What's his name?
Adam Brody?
Adrian?
Adrian Brody.
Adam Brody is another actor.
Damn it.
Oh, I know Adam Brody.
There's three pictures of Samuel L. Jackson.
He was a big Kangol guy.
Yeah, he still is.
And he's the only one that could pull it off.
If I could be a school of Samuel L. Jackson, I'll take it.
Brother, you and me both.
Yeah.
He's one of the people that, like, people use as an example when it's just like,
he didn't get his break in a movie until 50.
Start chasing your dreams now.
Yeah.
You know, it's like him and Oprah.
Steve Buscemi.
Steve Buscemi?
Well, he was a. FDT firefighter.
Yep.
Oh, nope.
FDNY firefighter.
Sure.
He fought fires in the police department.
I mean, they put out fires in other ways.
That is true.
You know, that is true.
Crime fight.
Wait, did your dad know Steve Buscemi?
The Shemmy?
No, my dad did not know Steve Buscemi.
He didn't know?
He didn't hang with the Shem?
There's a lot of firehouses that there are.
But, like, I feel like if you. You know he was a fireman right here, right?
Your dad?
Yeah, like that one right there.
That's the one he was at.
Really?
Yeah.
What a fucking luxury.
He must have had to put in some time elsewhere.
I mean, we didn't live here.
Oh, I forgot where right here was.
I thought you were referencing. Astoria?
Astoria.
No, no, no.
I meant, like, the one over here.
Like, down the block?
Yeah.
Like, that was his firehouse.
Has he been here?
And did you say, like, look around, Dad.
Does this look familiar?
And did he say, like, no?
No, but I did mention, like, the year that. Did I tell the story about when I was running the marathon?
And he's like, oh, it goes right by. The firehouse.
I was like, yeah.
And he's like, one year. You know how they have some people in wheelchairs?
They do the marathon.
Okay.
Something happened with one of them.
I forget what it was.
Either they fell or something was going on,
and then they, like. They, like, took him into the firehouse
and, like, fixed it for him,
and then they, like, finished the race.
Oh, that's so sweet.
The news came back the next day
and, like, interviewed everybody.
That's so sweet, but also knowing your father. He probably told that story 8 million times.
Oh, you have no idea.
Like, I am pretty sure. Probably.
Like, that is. That generation can't do something nice for someone
and not let the world know about it.
You know?
Well, what are you gonna do?
They like to pat themselves on the back.
My dad often and. And. And. And aggressively. tells me how. Reminds me how good of a dad he is.
That's good.
You know, just like,
well, Frank, that's what you gotta do.
You gotta be a good dad like me.
And I'm like, all right, dad.
And I'm the best dad.
You know?
He loves to remind people how good of a dad he is.
You know?
Here's a reminder for people.
It's actually new.
Yeah.
See?
He fucked up that.
It's fine.
He fucked it up.
No, do it again.
Do it again.
Here's some new information for everyone out there.
We have booked more shows on our tour.
I backed up.
Legitimately, that sounded like a bird.
I tried screaming like an old-timey kid screamed.
You know what I mean?
No.
Like, I don't want to do it.
I'm going to ruin my voice.
I need this.
These are my, this is my bread and butter.
When was the last time you tried to yell as loud as you possibly could?
I know that the roar was like roaring, but like a yell, like a yelp.
I could lower your mic.
You want to try?
No, I want you to try.
Should I turn around and do it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
As loud as you can and like scream.
Like a man or a woman?
You know what?
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
That's, that's, that's crazy.
Well, I just, it depends on the octave.
How about this?
I'm going to go high.
Go as high as you can go.
Do I have to lower it or are you screaming to the wall?
I'm going to yell this way.
Okay.
All right.
We're fine.
I'm going to go for it.
All right.
That's hard and high.
I feel like this is going to feel good.
That's hard and loud.
I think you need this.
I feel like that was really good.
Yo, I feel good.
Do you feel good?
I feel like I just released.
Well, normally you would do that into a pillow.
Like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
You agree?
I agree, I agree.
I remember when I'm like playing.
No, no, no.
They got you screaming in a pillow, bitch.
No, no.
They got you screaming face down in a pillow.
Hey.
What he's referencing is we got more show dates for you.
We have more show dates.
It is extending into 2027.
We have some shows here.
And you guessed it.
Because we have fucked this up before, there is another little note at the top from Greg
saying, as always, please don't fuck this up.
Love, Greg.
He put a love.
He didn't write boldly go.
No, he did not.
He did not write salutations.
Like he is the Riddler or a fedora.
Yeah, exactly.
He just put as always.
As all.
And by the way, always is.
Is uppercase, which.
What does that mean?
Grammatically incorrect, which he's Greg.
He went to school for like English literature, didn't he?
Well, maybe he's been hanging around with us too much.
Oh, yeah.
Or me.
Yeah.
Just me, I think.
Yeah.
So for the.
For the next batch of shows right here, pre-sale tickets go on sale Monday, November 9th.
So if you are seeing this early on Patreon or if you are seeing this for the first time
on YouTube publicly, Monday, November 9th at 12 p.m.
Eastern noon at thebasemanyard.com.
That's the pre-sale for those batches of shows.
And the pre-sale code is always basement, always will be.
And I know that people are used to be like, why is this?
We agree.
We don't know.
We don't know.
We don't know what pre-sale means either.
We are not at the level yet to be able to tell companies like your ticket situation is odd.
So.
Also, the window closes.
The window closes Thursday, November 12th.
But that just means that the general sale will start after that.
So you just won't need a code.
But if you go to thebasemanyard.com Monday, November 9th at noon, you will see tickets
available for the following shows.
Chicago.
You guys.
You guys sold out.
Two shows very quickly.
So they were like, do you want to do a third?
And we were like, we love the Chicago theater.
Fuck it.
The city is so nice.
We shall.
We shall do it.
Price.
Yes.
So we do a Chicago.
Hey, is this one of the shows where we're going to do a Fenway?
No, that's Fenway.
Yeah.
Austin, Chicago.
We're going to do a Wrigley dog.
Yeah, probably do a Wrigley.
Hopefully, probably.
Oh, hopefully, probably March 14th.
We were going to be doing a Wrigley dog.
We were going to be doing a Chicago theater.
So that whole weekend, we're going to be at the Chicago theater.
Whoa, is that?
Yes, it is.
Patrick's Day?
Yeah, it's the following Wednesday.
I think Zach said he thinks that the parade is that Saturday, which. Yeah, which would be the day of our show.
That's cool.
So, March 14th. All. Can we fucking do the dates?
All right, all right, all right.
Dude, we have to get through all this.
March 14th. They're here, they're here, they're here for the episode.
I'm aware of that, but we have to get through this.
March 14th.
3-14, Pi Day.
Just wanted to throw that out there, too.
Didn't even think about that.
We should eat. No, we shouldn't.
Fuck pie.
No, I'm not even going to make that joke.
You can do that in the pillow later.
So, three nights at the Chicago Theater.
This new one, March 14th.
We just added that.
Then, we are going to be in Cleveland, Ohio on April 8th.
At the Key Bank Theater.
We've never been to Cleveland.
We did the Columbus, Ohio show last year.
I've never been to Cleveland.
Cleveland, it's the first time the boys are going to be there.
So, pop out.
Show up, show out.
Smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy.
You know what I'm saying?
It's going to be a good time.
And then, immediately after that. Doot, doot, doot.
Double doot, doot, doot.
We're coming back to Nashville, Tennessee on April 9th, baby.
The next day.
Yeah, at the Pinnacle.
Yes.
Which is not where we did last time.
No.
This is a new one, if I'm not mistaken.
It's a new place.
Baseball season starts at the end of March.
So, that means when we are in Boston on May 15th,
we're returning to the MGM Music Hall at Fenway.
I got to be careful what I say there.
Because. It was a good crowd.
They were a good crowd, but it's prime baseball season.
Right.
So, I got to just be really careful because I don't want to upset people.
You're going to be fine.
I won't.
So, again, April 8th, Cleveland.
April 9th, Nashville.
And then, May 15th, we're going to be in Boston.
And then, May 20th, we're going to be in Seattle, Washington.
Seattle, why?
At the Paramount this time.
At the Paramount.
And then, May 21st, so the next day, we're going to be in Portland.
Okay?
Portland, Oregon.
We're going to be there.
Then, May 23rd.
Who?
Denver.
Oh!
We're coming back to Denver.
Haven't been there.
The last time we went to Denver, a girl passed out in her chair.
And we almost did, too, because it was 900 degrees in that venue.
It's hot as shit.
But it's a different venue this time.
It's a different venue this time.
This time, it's the Belco Theater.
Yes.
I say that when the R is before the E.
Yes.
And then, after that, June 5th, June 6th.
I wish I could speak French, but I can't.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada, we are coming to the Théâtre Saint-Denis on June 5th and June 6th.
Haven't been.
I just want to say, also, Montreal have been a very big supporter.
So, I know we never came there.
Two shows right off the bat.
Okay?
June 5th and 6th, we'll see you there.
Montreal.
We also, earlier in 2027, are going to be doing a Providence, Rhode Island show.
Do we have a date for that?
We can't announce that, Frank.
You just said that.
Yeah, but I meant to say, we can't.
Oh, are we saying that?
Oh, never mind.
We are saying that.
Keep that in.
Don't do that.
It was written down.
It says, and I quote,
We'll also be doing a show in Providence, Rhode Island, earlier in 2027.
But the exact date and ticket sale info will also be released at a later date.
That is true.
That is true.
But that's going to be part of a different thing and whatever.
We'll be in Providence, Rhode Island, my bad.
I'm the fucking dog.
I'm the fucking dumb bitch.
I can't read.
We've never gotten this right in one shot.
I mean, it's only right that we fuck up something.
And then also, New York, June 12th, there will be a separate announcement.
Yes.
But we will be ending this tour.
And I know last time, we were like, we're kind of done for a while.
But truly, this will be, you know, we're going to go out with a bang here.
But June 12th, New York, we'll separate that announcement because it's going to be, you know, something real special for that.
But that's it.
So just to kind of go through, we have March 14th.
We added our third show in Chicago.
Chicago.
We have April 8th in Cleveland, Ohio.
Nashville, Tennessee on April 9th.
Yeah.
May 15th will be in Boston.
May 20th in Seattle.
May 21st in Portland, Oregon.
May 23rd in Denver.
June 5th and 6th in Montreal.
And June 12th in New York.
And there will be a Providence, Rhode Island show at some point, which will be announced separately as well.
But, just out of those.
There you go.
And again, the pre-sale tickets go on sale Monday, November 9th, 2026 at 12 p.m. Eastern.
So Eastern here, adjust wherever you may be in the world, in the country, if you're coming to hang out, at TheBasementYard.com.
Monday, November 9th, pre-sale code BASEMENT.
Okay?
And the pre-sale window closes on Thursday, November 12th at midnight.
And that's when general sale on Friday, November 13th.
At noon, at TheBasementYard.com.
Get your tickets.
After, for general sale, no pre-sale code.
No code or anything required.
But, you guys have been so wildly supportive that there may or may not be tickets available at that point.
I don't even know.
But, we're excited.
A couple new cities here.
Cleveland, we've never been to.
You know, Portland, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
So, yeah.
We're excited.
So, we love edging the New York crowd.
We're edging them, yeah, for sure.
Well, we're New Yorkers, you know.
Gotta do it big.
How are, because I know where it is.
Yeah.
Do you know where it is?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do we want to say where it is?
No, we can't.
Oh, you're edging even more, aren't you?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, God.
I completely take that out.
Also, I wanted to talk about this because-
No, I don't want to talk about anything else.
This is a 50 minute episode.
I'm gone.
Nope, nope, nope.
I recently, I got a pa- What?
I don't care.
You have to care.
Unfortunately, you got to continue to care.
Okay, no, seriously, what?
I care.
Thank you, Oliver Twist.
Yeah, you-
No, I don't care.
No, I had a neighbor open one of my packages by accident, and it could not have been this-
The thing that I bought is the one thing in the last five years even that I wouldn't want
a neighbor to open, and I just got unlucky.
Wait, but why did they- Well, first of all, crime, you could literally report them and
they will get arrested.
Oh, my God.
It's insane.
I mean, you could, dude.
But it's not like that serious.
It was an accident, Frank.
Do you like-
It wasn't like bank documents or anything.
I mean, you're saying it's the one thing over the last five years, and you told me the other
day that you bought-
Mm-hmm.
I'm not gonna-
You just start doing that before you have an idea.
So look, they left me a note, and it said, "Sorry, this was in my mailbox, and I accidentally
opened it."
Oh, so it's not their fault.
It's your fault.
I didn't put it in the mailbox.
It's the delivery driver's fault.
Right.
So, recently, I bought a book, and this book is the one that my neighbor accidentally opened,
and it's a book called Bad Men: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and
Assault.
Joey.
And that's the book that they-
That they accidentally opened, and I was just like, "Oh."
It was recommended to me, and I thought it sounded interesting, but that's a weird thing
for your neighbor to open.
Brother.
Isn't that bad?
Also a weird thing to bring up on this show.
Why?
I don't know.
You're not making yourself look like-
What do you mean?
It's not how to-
I know that.
I know that, but like-
It's like the psychology behind why men are that way, so I'm like, "Oh, that's interesting.
Let's get educated on this topic," but it's a weird thing for your neighbor to open.
To open?
What's the neighbor?
I don't know, because that's the other thing, too.
I would feel better if I knew them-
If you knew the neighbor?
Or if they left their apartment number or something.
It just said neighbor, so I was like, "They're hiding."
You don't know who it was.
Because they were just like, "I want to make sure that this person doesn't know who I am."
Basically, that's what it feels like, and I just feel weird now.
We were going to joke and say like, "Oh, what was it?
Kinky, kinky, kinky sex toy."
Fuzzy handcuffs.
Fuzzy handcuffs, or cake to sit on and fart.
No, it was-
This here is a fart cake.
No, but yeah, it was a book about that.
That is a bad look.
That's the cover, too.
It just says, "Bad men," and I'm like, "I'm hoping it's a good thing."
If anything-
I'm educating myself.
Yes, very good for you.
That's a responsible thing to do, and especially in a very interesting time
where women need more allies and support.
I hope the person who opened that put two and two together, and just be like,
"Okay, this is someone who is trying to do that."
Yeah, and it's not a how-to.
Yeah, and they're not opening it and just like,
"Have you ever seen those people that they get fake book covers,
and they read the joke book covers, and it's like,
'How to poop on your partner and make it fun,' or something like that?"
Yeah, yeah.
But, oh, yeah.
I don't know if I've ever-
It's a tough one.
I don't know if I've ever had a neighbor open up a package
and be worried about the contents.
I ordered Hannibal.
Hannibal Holocaust, you know, the banned movie, whatever.
What was that again?
It sounds familiar.
It's like the people go to the woods, and the tribe beats them up.
Isn't that called The Green Inferno?
Yeah, that's the remake of it.
Either way, I bought that movie because it's banned.
I wanted to see it.
How'd you buy it?
eBay.
Just someone else had it.
Are you admitting to a crime?
No, no, no, it was fine.
But the thing is, when the package got here-
It's like, because, so it's banned because apparently, allegedly, there was, at the
the time people believe that it was real footage of like real cannibals but i think
since then they've come out and said like it's not real oh but it's been in a bunch of states
either way i ordered it and a starfox game came instead oh i'm not i'm not upset about that so i
got the starfox game i don't know what some child got but wait what happened wait was it your name
maybe someone just got you oh no then they they emailed well then i just bought it again oh wait
a second wait a second you fully got somebody else's package delivered to you and you didn't
report it no i think what he just got got like they're like yeah it's this and they just sent
like whatever oh yeah i wasn't sending it back i thought you meant like you ordered it but like
these like you got like little timmy's package and you opened it saw it was starfox and you're
like i'm just gonna keep this what i like to imagine is the person had two envelopes and he
just swapped the things by accident so timmy are you more likely than i just got scammed maybe i
got it eventually but then it was broken i couldn't watch it was it worth it no
no
you
there's nothing wrong with it um which starfox game was it was it the remake oh i don't know
what the do you mean you don't know i didn't have what i think it was on like it was on like
playstation 2 i didn't i didn't play it i don't know starfox didn't come out for playstation
because it's a nintendo property and also playstation 2 how old were you when you bought
this no no this was recent i'm saying the game was old oh maybe it's gamecube actually oh well
i mean so it was a starfox adventures for the gamecube couldn't i couldn't was there
dinosaurs on the cover with starfox this is my fault yeah
was there dinosaurs i know which one i know what you hear um yeah i mean i i that's i'm sure you're
fine i'm sure yeah yeah yeah it was just like oh good this is you know someone that is trying to
help i'm not too friendly with my neighbors my my neighbor who lives like immediately next door to
me i knocked on his door once because i needed to borrow ice such a fucking neighborly thing to need
yeah but my ice machine was like fucked up so i knocked on his door i was like can i have some
ice please and he kind of like answered the door very frantically and was like it was all this so
this is why it was weird right so he opened up his fridge and we have i guess a different fridge
setup like it looked like a smaller fridge and he opened it and what you went into his apartment he
he opened the door and told me to come in oh you stand right at the front you don't like they come
in yes they do he said he said come in come in is like an entrance
through the doorway it's not like take a look at my living room what do you mean bro he said come in
i took four steps in i'm in the kitchen i feel like so when when someone when you answer the
door and you say come in that is an invite to literally come in far enough so then the door
could close behind them they stay right there they don't walk in and they look at whoa you know i
mean i didn't go and take a dump in his bathroom i walked in a couple steps odd that that is your
way of what i'm just saying that's an intimate room
would require me opening something i just like walked in and i was in a space no you're wrong
here i didn't have not done you're wrong come in is literally step in so they could close the door
your back is basically on the door but but like if i show up to your house you're like come on in
different you and i have known each other for 30 years but if you but if you but if someone showed
up to your door and you said come in what do you expect them to do step in and stand right there
so they're not the difference of them coming in then why why even come in so i could shut the
door and i'm not heating
the rest of the world or like cooling it down like the temperature if it's raining out or
something like that you come in you stand right basically with the door on your back i i mean i
wasn't that far into the apartment you said i walked into his kitchen i want i mean his kitchen
was at the front i think uh you went too far in joey he also went into his fridge and instead of
like i was like i don't need a lot like i had like a shaker and i was like just yeah just whatever
and he was and he just handed me a full bag of ice and he was like yeah yeah
here here so i had to walk over and grab the bag of ice and i was like oh i only need a few he's like

a detective and look around like for as much information as you could get well i am interested
in what other people's apartments look like and it was a completely different setup than mine
but i like walked in that means poor no it doesn't yeah i walked in and i was like
because when you walk into my apartment there's like a little tiny like hallway but with his
you're kind of like in the kitchen already yeah um and even when i was touring the building i saw
some other units the other ones weren't like that either so there's like a bunch of different setups
for these for these uh apartments so i i was interested in being like going on here but i
walked in couple steps nothing crazy and i just felt like he was ushering me out he's like take
the ice and get the fuck out yeah i guess i gotta hold back i guess why would he answer under such
like intense pretenses if he just didn't like it i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
like if you're that like worked up just don't answer the door i was so shy to knock on his door
too i was like since before or after he saw the book oh no this was this was well before the book
just happened i haven't even read the book yet be honest what are your least favorite i'm gonna give
you a couple i'm not even gonna ask for a ranking i'm gonna give you a couple different ways of
knocking on a door or like trying to get the attention of the people inside and you let me
know which is your least favorite or give me a ranking if i'm on the inside
give me like a do you like it or not but if i'm on the inside no you're the you're the knocker okay
um just one of these yeah it's great you like that one yeah do you ever do this way
this yeah no oh i do that you would um a knocker love that i don't know what it sounds like from
the inside though it also doesn't feel like it needs to be longer i want to slam it like i want
like because like
it's just right here and it's just like a dink dink yeah like i want it like a little longer
so i can really like you know let this throw it let this thing fly um the the like peephole that
has the built-in doorbell that just sounds like a bell on a spring yeah i i kind of like some of
those where's like yeah yeah you know geo has one of those yeah i don't like that it's not loud
enough it does it like this way and it punches you back yeah yeah it's not it's never loud enough
i've never
had one because it's like
um i mean the obvious one the traditional doorbell you know like a a bing bong bing bong or a bing
dong yeah uh are you into like i like a male slot you know what i mean i like when i like
when the male just falls on the ground are you into like a fun doorbell sound what do you mean
like you you press it and it's like it's a little wane or something not that fun but like it'll be
like no this ain't church i don't need it what is that sound by the way the church is that a church
thing well the church does do that i know but that was also we had a clock in our living room
what it what it actually means is like if you hear that bell look at the bell goes off at 11
during for mass like it's the beginning of mass but if it goes off at 12 it means that
either the pope or one of the cardinals like have passed away oh there's like messaging behind when
bells go off i don't know i just made that up why would you do that i just it felt like i could get
away with it and then i felt bad in the middle of it i was like this sounds too good well because
it was the death of a cardinal or a pope oh yeah i mean they're old they go they do smoke though
in italy they do the white smoke they do black smoke red smoke i think the thing might go off
just like every hour do you think if they finally have a gay pope they'll do like pink smoke a go
a go you ever see those sprays that
you throw into the fire and it's like rainbow i mean brother we grew up watching are you afraid
of the dark i've done it with handfuls of sand and i have just affected the quality of the fire
i i bought uh stuff like that when i had a fireplace yeah i had a fireplace in one of my
apartments so i went on amazon and i bought this thing that like it's just like a powder and you
throw it in there and it's like not that cool it only works for like a few seconds yeah it's like
oh look green green and it's gone it burns quick well yeah because you're burning you're throwing
a chemical in a fire i will that's probably not good to breathe in
yeah i imagine not and i imagine it's supposed to be done with certain types of fire like natural
fires because like there are natural like wood burning fireplaces and then like we have a gas
one so like i imagine you shouldn't do it in the gas one probably probably not right i love a good
fireplace dude i love fireplaces i love turning it on and then you just feel the heat and you
look at it and you just like you see it's like there the you're talking about the existence of
fire yeah yeah it is like hypnotizing it my uncle's got a great
fireplace what what made it better than anyone else's because it's cozy and it's like it's like
in the
wall there's a lot of wood and you can just sit like on a rug and like the christmas tree is
usually right there and i just sit there and i look at it and i'm like what have i become even
what have i become you know i'm so here what song is that i know my song what song is that
i'm saying mine is everyone's everyone's favorite like i'm sad about life song i'm going to put this
song on i was thinking creep oh no it's creep did they say what have i become no no no but i
know that's my thought of like who am i actually who who could i be i mean i think in that song

Through her, brother, Bubba Ray Dudley, sit-down power-bombed, bag-of-bones Mae Young, and fabulous Moolah, through a table, and, like, they sent this woman to fucking hell and back in a power bomb.

This is a website or an app that lets you search and compare high-quality and in-network doctors.

I didn't know how to do that.
You know, that was not something that was passed on to me.
So I knew I had insurance.
I don't know who took it.
So ZocDoc was where I would go.
You go on their website.
You put in the doctor you want to see, whether it be a primary care physician or a dermatologist or whatever you need.
You put that type of doctor, then you put your insurance,
and it will show you in-network doctors in your area and their patient review.
So you know that, okay, these people have had a good experience with this type of doctor,
so I'm going to go to this specific one.
And they show you their next available appointments.

am i kind of like on something there i i don't i don't know but i don't think so
you know you know the song like we were meant to live for so much more
we were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves yeah we i remember i thought it
was without some time or something and you you recently on an episode told me that's what it
means without some time in seventh grade i was listening to that in the shower i guess and i
walked out my dad goes you all right yeah he heard you well that's the worst because he probably
thought you were cranking debt soldier boy
if you get what i'm saying don't think that maybe he thought he was cranking some tears and yeah
yeah real i mean the i think the sad song for when we were growing up was the reason by who
mistake brother yeah i mean it starts off as sad as you could get i'm not a perfect person
yeah also the simple plan song hey dad look at me what song is that
uh what's that song called think back and talk to me did i grow up according to plan yeah i know

perfect that song sucks it sounds like is that what i won bingham too no you you won two i'm not
paralyzed
speaking of fingers that's
finger oh yeah i see finger 11 finger blasting finger 11 blasty what can you do me a favor look
up the saddest song like the sad songs of the mid-2000s didn't we do a uh you that was you and
danny because i once pitched oh wow that was so long i once pitched us songs to cry to and you
said like no did i seven sad songs about when you're feeling hella moody by cosmopolitan oh
how to save a life good one
vindicated by dashboard confessional such a good song it reminds me of spider-man
what which song is that i think it was like it was in the promo for some spider no the first
spider-man movie the promo was and they said that a hero could save us yeah but the uh the
james blunt goodbye my lover rips me apart see people talk about like jojo's songs as being
sad but it's more like a banger she has more of a confidence to yeah like it's too little too late
like too little too like it's sad but like
frankie help me gears of war 2 the trailer oh yeah tears uh um mad world by gary jules
i don't like that song it's creepy it's creepy perfect for that game but that's that's also a
cover the original is i think tears

whatever the amount is
100 million
100 million
i just like it's so like or like 2010s coded yeah where i'm just like it's not that good
it's just like it's it's like a it's beep beep boop boop like it sounds like a robot
i got it hallelujah oh that's a that's a good sad song
i heard there was a secret girl in heaven that david played to please the lord but you don't
really care for music
you don't really care for music
do you what's the name of the guy that sings that it's something like this the fourth the fifth the
minor falls in the major layer it's broken i'm confused isn't there like an infinite amount of
verses to that song i think actually i mean it's like it's it's i think it's named written by
someone named rufus which is as whiny of a white guy name as you could get i just i just do a
hallelujah shrek soundtrack i just did that one yeah it's a banger honestly it is but like it is
as sad as it could get is it rufus leonard cohen that's it i mean it's not rufus if not rufus i mean
it could be leonard rufus for the shrek the one from shrek the one from shrek you see his sideburns
brother my god here and white than that yeah he's getting the side swiped no offense rufus you see
what you're working with here yeah this is crazy you know you you understand nah the song from
fucking what's it called mad sad toy story i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
but that's what's her name uh sarah that's sarah mclaughlin yeah she made a whole like if there is
anyone that has made more white sad lady who's made more white people cry sarah mclaughlin's up
there um diana princess diana well that's you know like everyone everyone cried princess diana
oh no they took die that's what they remember they were like princess die die i remember that
was a big thing but i like i don't remember much about i was too young a lot of people we're talking
about the crown and stuff now people would like they got a lot of comments on that there's like
the conspiracy theory that like she was yeah she was taken she was in minecraft taken from us
yeah you know i don't really know too much to be honest with you but
I have a science question.
Who is that?
There's no easy way to transition from finger blasty, finger 11,
fireflies, and Princess Diana's death.
Yeah.
My science question.
Before you say it, better or worse than the last one?
Listen up, fucking Arlie Ermey, GI douchebag.
Oh, my God.
You're completely dressed like you're from Vietnam.
Oh, you're talking to me?
Yeah.
Oh, I thought you were addressing somebody.
No.
Arlie Ermey, he was the, like, when they needed a military guy in a movie.
You know who I'm talking about.
Guess what, private?
You know, that guy.
Oh, yes.
From fucking Full Metal Jacket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's Arlie Ermey.
R.I.P.
He's gone.
Oh.
He was also in Toy Story 2.
He did the voice of the toy soldiers.
Are you going to get to this question?
I guess not.
It's better because I think this is a legitimately good one.
Okay.
I don't know if they're still used.

But a USB stick.
USB drive?
Thumb drive?
A lot of people refer to them as?
Yeah.
Did you ask if a USB is still being used?
Also, you said USB stick.
I mean, like, air dropping and Bluetooths and all that is way more prevalent now than that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You talking about like a flash drive?
Yeah.
Okay.
Flash drive.
Let's say it holds a terabyte of data.
We're talking about external hard drives.
Okay.
Let's say it.
Let's say.
Let's say it's 10 megabytes.
That's nothing.
A terabyte.
Just whatever.
All right.
Let's say.
Is it different?
A flash drive.
Yeah.
Let's say 500 gigs.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't have it.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Okay.
Whatever the amount of a dedicated WAM it has.
You know that reference.
WAM?
It feels like you've never used one.
I know WAM.
Do you know what a computer is?
Yeah.
So say you have a flash drive.
Okay.
You take this flash drive and you weigh it.
You weigh it on a scale.
Okay.
Whatever it weighs.
Put it into a computer.
Fill it up to the brim with as much data as you can.
Yeah.
So it has no free space left.
Yeah.
Take it out.
Yeah.
Weigh it.
Yeah.
Do those weight.
Are those weights the same?
Before I answer your question, are you serious?
Seriously.
I'm being serious.
Are you being serious?
Stick to it now.
No.
Why?
Frank, why would it weigh something different?
Because you're putting something in there.
I'm asking a question.
Please don't talk to me.
Please don't talk to me like I'm a fucking idiot.
I'm talking.
This is a fucking.
This is a safe space.
You're being brave?
I'm being so brave.
Then I'll.
I'm exposing myself here.
I'm retracting.
Let me expose myself to you so you can make me feel better.
Use different words.
That computer.
Yes.
Do you think.
I'm not saying it's going to add like 10 pounds, but is there any.
Is there a measurable difference if you put data on a flash drive and then.
But what makes you think that data weighs anything?
Well, because.
It is something.
But things are weightless.
Does Wi-Fi weigh something?
I'm sure there is a measurable.
Wi-Fi is a wavelength.
You're sure?
Yeah.
There is a way to measure it.
Maybe and not an atomic weight, but they measure it by hertz.
But OK, but would that have an atomic weight?
I'm sure it will.
This hurts.
But you just said not an atomic weight.
I'm sure it will.
It will?
Like, eventually, I'm going to have a stroke.
I liked I liked your question.
So a Google Drive, you know, 10 gigs of storage.
There's zero on it.
I just got to say something.
I don't like how giggly you are.
It's coming.
It's taking it's taking a lot of maturity in me to not take it as disrespect.
I'm not.
No, it's you're very brave.
I'll fucking.
How about this?
You're very brave.
I will get to the remaining ads so you guys can.
We'll we'll download for a second.
OK.
We'll add some weight to our brains for a second.
There we go.
And then we'll get back to that.

It makes showing up for the people you love very easy.
But yeah, enjoy.
But OK, I understand if this might be a silly question.
I don't think that it is a question that is outrageous.
Does I think like you guys, you sit.
Mr. Laffey McGiggles over there, Colonel Giggles being like, fuck you.
First of all, second of all, yeah, I if the answer is like this is supposed to be clear,
I think it is a good thought provoking question.
But but like so when you when you have like you're thinking this, right?
The he's making me laugh.
But like, OK, so Google, for instance, right?
Your Google Drive.
Yes, we have a Google Drive that has like terrible.
Bites of stuff on there.
Where would that weight live?
Google Drive is different because that is like an external like that, like like Google Drive is its own like place.
Like it's kind of a website service.
But where is it in my computer?
No, because you're downloading it to like you're basically accessing an online server cache or server that is holding it for you that you have access to.
I'm talking about you have your own.
You have your own physical thumb drive.
Like this is the this is the thing, the thing that you're putting the data on.
It's not like on a server or a service that is holding it for you that you can access.
You physically put a thumb drive into a computer, fill it up with as much information is there.
I'm not saying it's going to be like you put it in there and it's half a pound.
You take it out.
It's two pounds.
But is there a measurable difference now that it is holding its capacity in data?
I am inclined to say no, though.
OK.
So the ones and zeros.
Right.
That's what all information on the Internet is made up of is already on the USB.
It's just not configured in the way the data is presenting.
Does that make sense?
See, like this is this is this is why I don't answer, though.
But maybe it is an answer.
But also, I'm more inclined to laugh at your dumb ass reaction because you're Colonel Giggles.
But also, if you're you're talking about like so the actual physical thing that you're holding.
Yes.
Right.
Yes.
That has a weight, obviously, because there is a physical aspect.
Yes, it is matter.
We're talking about data, which is kind of like.
But if you put if you put data into something, does that change it to a measurable degree?
It could be point one.
And like, say you wipe off all like, you know, like oil residue from your hands and stuff like that.
Like, yeah, I'm not going.
Oh, well, because that is a thing.
It's like contact.
I wouldn't say that's why it would change.
We're asking if data has a way.
I'm asking if data has a weight.
inside
some capacity is this something i have to put into google i don't know is it no you're like
you're talking about this like you're talking about this like it's a question that people have
not considered i think that i am doing the brave thing here if i'm nothing else right now i'm a
hero but what i like the question but but like if you so like uh you know
wi-fi right like the what'd you call them radio waves or something yes
why would you not be able to feel that at all because it is so unbelievably sent like not like
it is so like you can't see it but it's there you know what i mean like it is not like you're
it won't transfer or be a measurable effect on your body but you believe that it's like
there and when you're like physically touching it i mean it is but like it but like you think
it has a weight is my point like you're like i mean in essence if it is a
physical thing in some capacity like but how would it move like the way it does if it's a
physical thing though like the wavelengths you know what i mean yeah i didn't i don't know
we've reached the edge of the universe i'll type it in does i don't think that's a crazy
data have a weight and this is this show we we go ha ha he he and all the giggles but like
a full usb drive does not weigh more than an empty one we have an answer yeah also that is
provided by ai so i'm not gonna believe it we go to bbc go to the bbc whoa go to the
okay what are you looking up here at those watches on the side huh
this is this is a work computer this is santa claus studios isn't me um that didn't give much
um i'm not going to read it yeah i'm not going to read it either
why your usb set gets lighter when it's full let's click on that oh so i guess listen to
let's let's see first if there's an answer then then there is a measurable difference
um oh and actually wait you'd intuitively assume that a full usb stick would be heavier than an
empty one as there's more on it paradoxically however the opposite is true the more data you
have in your speed the lighter it becomes but how interesting so wait hold on we're also
i don't know so what is that oh frank frank you're onto something here a single electron of mass
we're going to the one two three we're going to the i didn't say that it's like but this
is what he said i said measurable okay you can still see that the weight difference is
practically zero in terms so this is too many numbers but it's saying it gets lighter actually
i don't know why that so the question that i asked go back is is there
is there a measure no no no you go back we'll see a different one is there a measurable difference
in the weight and although it is not apparent by and it is close enough to being zero that
they might just say no there is a measurable difference they get lighter so right and wrong
yeah right and wrong i posed the question so you said does it get heavier yeah like it's
the opposite yeah we laughed because obviously it gets lighter that's why yeah that's why we're
laughing i'm not kidding i could throw this with confidence and hit him he's a professional rage
baiter negligible who's to say yes in the grand scheme of things it is negligible but when you get
into discussing the weight of an atom it is a measurable difference it's a weight wow yeah they
need a charge it's like how batteries weigh more when they're charged is that true there's a charge
in them electrons weigh i never this never crosses my mind honestly it's the same thing i think it's
the same thing i think it's the same thing i think it's the same thing i think it's the same thing
have a weight okay because i the idea of like wi-fi and even a telephone call just makes no
sense well does light have a weight light yeah oh now we're getting too far you should have asked
ndt all this stuff yeah i should have you guys got you text give him a call no
oh wavelengths don't have a weight yeah it's traditional weight like i guess they're not
they're not measured like this i suppose oh wait go back up yeah sure it says they carry energy and
they can contribute to an effective weight under specific conditions i don't know if that means
they have weight but that's like how they act different when you're looking at them and not
the whole thing they're very weird i don't know so what have we learned as you guys sit there and
giggle mcgee about about good old i said i was inclined to say no about good old frank turns out
i'm on to something well they don't get heavier you know that that was not specifically like maybe
that was the way it was framed
but i kept repeating is there a measurable difference yeah i guess there is i never i
never considered the fact that like electrons or whatever would change the weight of something
i thought that zeros and ones in the binary code just weigh the same
you say you were saying like i don't even know what that means like you were a fucking supercomputer
yeah like well with zero and ones and i'm like you've lost me i didn't know they weigh differently
i know what what that is i don't know it's binary code but i don't know that i don't know what that
is well sure it's like the matrix honestly well i know i mean i i assumed but i there's like a zero
and one literally it's a combination of zeros and ones that will mean anything it can mean a letter
it can mean a number it's it's i'll tell you what's not computing what that what what you're
saying are words i know and i know that's probably the answer i just can't i think what we have found
here is that i am not as stupid as ant thinks i am
i said it was a good question i said that i said it was a brave question
if it was brave definitely and we learned something today i am brave i believe i i i believe that i am
i'm not sure you can measure that difference on any scale but technically i mean technically there
is a scale that is measured no they're just doing it like math wise like electron weighs this much
so technically it's how the fuck can they weigh an electron it's a great question i'm sure there's
it's a great question a way to use it science bro how did we get to the point where we've gotten
that in
like we got so small that we could see an atom and an electron and then we like do we how can
we do that i've been like reposting the videos from the hot ones game night episode with neil
degrasse tyson to the point where like now my algorithm will just randomly show me him talking
science not upset about it very cool with it but like apparently we just took a picture of like the
space in between something and it's like that was never a thing what are you talking about there's
like space in between
stuff like oh there was a tiktok that he made of steven spielberg asking him a question and he's
like what's the space in between yo look that shit up it's called like space talk with neil degrasse
tyson because he's he's plugging his book as if this guy needs to be more rich so very specific
yeah you're talking about his whole thing like that wasn't very specific we're not gonna find
this clip you're talking about it's like him talking with steven spielberg we probably won't
be able to play that neil degrasse tyson's taking that down you think so he's coming for us where's
your boy
i'll fight him you know what's crazy about what's crazy about you said is we figured out how to see
those atoms and then split them and then big boom yeah why and collide them yeah i don't understand
how people have figured out anything like y'all brother me and you both it's insane and i don't
understand how like there are examples of people having gotten this information before the invention
of pencils they like figured this out in like you know 4 bc and they're and like now we're just like
yeah they were right
there's so many things like who thought of the telephone
what happened to my voice it's like someone doesn't want me to talk about
but like the telephone someone was like oh wouldn't that be cool
and then you figured it out well ali gb was the one that figured it out
ali gb yeah alexander graham bell oh not sasha barricone yeah deep cut ali not that deep new
movie coming out ali g wait dude wasn't it not alexander graham bell uh-oh i think he might have
done like he was like that home one he was like uh he was credited but there was actually someone
else oh he stole let me guess let me guess ali gb stole it from you know
he was the first patent thief several others invented developed similar earlier voice
i heard i like heard that one time i don't know if it's true or not but gb gets a look at the
guardian actually yeah did not invent the telephone oh there was a ruling
stealing italian ideas your dad's gonna be hype they always do your dad's gonna be pumped yo do
you know
that the italians stole the bones of santa claus what where and what so santa claus
was it the italians i believe it was the italians the guy who was like this is saint nick
died and then his bones were stolen by italians they were just taking shit huh i'm serious
everything is somewhere stole santa claus's bones type that in everyone everything is stolen from
something italians sailors
stole the mortal remains of saint nicholas oh it's just it's the italian pirates the italians they
stole santa claus's bones what are the italian pirates the great heist of santa claus i told you
what they were stealing bones damn and they're the ones
Wow, that's crazy.
Yeah, they stole his bones.
What would an Italian pirate sound like?
Careful.
It's his people, yeah.
He can say whatever he wants.
Oh, true, I forgot about that.
The Italians, what would they sound like?
I don't know.
A sailor?
No, an Italian pirate.
An Italian pirate?
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know.
I can't really think of an Italian word at the moment.
You can do it.
Instead of barrels of rum, it was just barrels of espresso.
That sounds lovely.
Not for you, in your heart.
Your heart?
Not for you, in your heart, Mr. Decaf.
What do you think would happen if you had a barrel of espresso?
Your heart would pop?
Yes.
I mean, not just me, just anybody.
You're not allowed to have that much caffeine.
I've seen pure caffeine.
I saw a video of a tea.
They make tea resin, and they burn off some of the caffeine,
and it crystallizes at the top of the building,
like in the room, at the top of the room on the ceiling.
And it's like, it looks like cocaine.
Can you, like, go over and, like, lick it?
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, I'm jacked up.
Yeah, I'm sure you can.
You can buy, like, caffeine pills.
Have you ever been in a salt room?
Yes, brother.
Have you?
Yes.
Where?
I didn't lick the room.
What did you say?
What?
What did you say?
You licked the room?
I licked the wall.
You licked the wall?
Yes.
Why?
If you put me in a room and say this wall is made entirely of salt,
do you think I'm not going to lick it?
I would hope.
Well, your hope is out the window.
You licked the wall?
Yeah.
Where were you?
There's a spa.
You licked the wall of a public spa?
Why don't you just drink out of the toilet while you're at it?
Why don't you just drink out of the toilet?
It was a nice spa, and it was an area that I don't think probably was licked before.
Think?
Probably.
That's your issue, buddy.
I don't think it has probably done that.
First of all, there's a really nice spa that I'm shocked you haven't been to.
It's wonderful.
I know why you haven't been to it.
It's in Jersey.
And they have a room that is like several floors.
It's called Sojo.
It's a spa up in North Jersey.
It's right outside the city.
And it's like several floors.
It's like one floor is all different types of hot tubs.
So it'll be like one is a Japanese wood one.
One is carbonated water.
One is this.
Carbonated water?
Yes.
Does that feel weird?
Yes.
Bubbles all on your balls?
Bro, your skin starts to turn cherry red because it's opening up the blood vessels and capillaries
and shit like that.
Whoa.
It's cool, dude.
It's worth going.
And there's one floor of this place.
So you start at like, let's say it's like the sixth floor, and you work your way all
the way up to the roof.
And it's like sixth floor is all the hot tubs.
Seventh floor is all saunas and cold rooms.
So it's like one room is like it's an ice room.
It's zero degrees in there.
One room is it's a charcoal sauna.
One room is a red clay sauna, white clay sauna.
One was a salt room.
Is it like hot?
Yeah.
It's like hot.
Well, the salt room, I think, was just like not as intense as like a sauna.
It was meant to just be like it's you're just in the salt room because people believe that
that's salt.
What does salt do?
I don't know.
But like, that's why salt lamps are a thing.
They give off like a calming aura or something and like radio waves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, crystals.
Halo therapy.
Salt particles for respiratory skin and relaxation benefits.
I mean, did it dehydrate you?
He's not he's not eating the wall.
I hope you did you eat it.
I just went a little this just to make sure it was salt.
Did you get your teeth in there?
No, just a little lick.
I showed you exactly what I did.
And it was a little like this.
Yeah.
I have a picture of it on my Instagram.
Oh, I like recently.
Oh, that's not what I was picturing.
I was picturing something that looked like a like a cave with.
What's that called?
Stalactites.
Stalactites.
No, no stalactites there.
It was like salt bricks.
Got it.
OK.
And it was very cool.
And I.
Yeah.
Look, I wouldn't like the wall of a spa.
Oh, there's me.
That's an interesting pose.
Yeah.
And there's my tongue out.
Did you have your wiener out, too?
Um, short naked.
I might have had underwear on.
I think I had underwear on.
OK.
I was there with Becca.
Did you do like is it your underwear or they give you an underwear?
That's a good question.
I don't remember.
I haven't gone.
Oh, no, I'm due to go back to this incredible spa.
You got to figure out what underwear you wear.
Now I got to go figure out what they do, what the underwear situation is at this incredible spa.
Got to do it.
Calm down.
Who said I'm going with you?
Oh, that was a triple thing.
No, I'm.
Hey, babe, I'm going to I'm going to go to this sauna.
I'm going to go to this the spa with the bros.
The five level sauna.
That's fine.
You should go.
Both of you.
It's actually really nice.
You see the spa that has that room where you're in a jacuzzi and then it's like it looks there's a screen and it's raining.
I want to go to that one.
Oh, yeah.
So bad.
Like in Sweden or.
Yeah, it's somewhere in Europe.
I looked.
I mean, why?
Why again?
Why again?
Why?
You want to go?
Yeah, let's go.
The place Sojo has.
I was doing a free plug for this place now.
I mean, if you want to send me some stuff, that'd be sweet.
Or send me there.
That would be very sweet.
If you want to send me a whole salt room.
They have like an infinity pool that's like heated on the roof.
And then they have like a hot sand.
Hot sand.
Yeah, dude.
I would do this in like.
Not what I expect.
Guys.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, you know, it's no, that's cool.
I want to get rained on.
Yeah, I like being in the torrential downpour.
Yes.
I love being out.
Why don't we have a rain spa in New York or New Jersey?
I'm sure there probably is one.
You have that.
Also, now you'll go with us.
Now I have to look it up.
No, I mean.
Look it up.
We'll talk about them, get free plug, and then we'll also get free gushers.
Where did that come from?
I mean, we talk about brands all the time.
Oh, yeah.
Gushers.
It's not as cool as that one.
Damn.
Well, no, no, no, no.
Brands.
Brands?
Brands?
I don't know.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
Well, that's all we have for today, folks.
Just to remind you.
