Yeah, it was you know But hey, I mean some of my funniest moments.

Yep, and as I hit next I'll see the others Yeah, but yeah, let's talk about this one. This is the first one. This is a 2005 yeah, 2004 this is 15 16 years ago two things right off the bat

I just want to talk about you're wearing a witch hat and those boots wouldn't fit you now I'm wearing Tim's baby New Yorker. Yeah, I remember those. That's the first pair of jeans I've ever like I owned like kid jeans like, you know cute kid jeans But like as like a pretty kid jeans, you know cute kid jeans like kids and jeans like gosh-kosh Yeah, and they're like all like crumpled near like the legs and arms. This was your first like carpenter pant There aren't no arms on jeans Yeah, no, there's my like those are the one did it have one of those straps where you could like hold a hammer in there I'm sure I'm sure I did I'm sure I did but these were like I remember this was like

Do you remember back in the day? You would buy one outfit and you would try to make it you'd wear that one outfit like once every two weeks two weeks What are you like six days? Yeah, you're going that frequent But my outfit was those jeans and those Timberland boots, which I didn't ever tie. Yeah. Yeah, though. I mean listen And that's also how I dress I don't think I wore jeans until I was like 14 years old You there was a point in time where people don't realize I was compared to you a fucking giant Yeah, yeah, it was a small Fucking boy yeah, I was a little tiny man like look at like look at the size of your head compared to my fist

Yeah, you could have knocked my block off That's why you always kept me around because you knew I could physically kill you probably until now. I'm fat I Like you got better looking and I think from there it just went downhill for me I think it went uphill for a while did it and then there was a slide a big slide Do you remember where these pictures were this was this was Jamie's basement Yeah, the girl who I was in love with you were hard in love with from like kindergarten to 5th grade Why the fuck did I say that little past that Joey? I think it was like seventh grade

I mean, I would pass all hell the king. Let me tell you you were past notes, too I would pass I was the intermediary like I would you the note would be written by you giving me to give to somebody else That's all baby. I was just a fucking passenger. Yeah, but then in middle school. You were slamming notes to I was slamming But like not just little notes because that that's what we used to do back there I used to write romantic novels. I used to write letters and pretend my name was Chester. Yeah. Oh god I'll never get over that. But yeah, I remember this day specifically because and I remember those pants for some reason

This is my private square like they're they know just to like leave him alone Stop did you learn that in college? I Did nice

All right next picture Okay, all right, you remember that time you remember this I do remember Frankie hit me up And he's like yo, I'm gonna be on TV. Do you want to come I thought I was gonna be on TV Right, and I actively chose to wear suspenders for the occasion. Yeah, so this is back This was might have been like rd. Frank This one. Yeah, this was this was yeah. Yeah, it was which would explain the suspenders suspenders Yeah, and the glosses. Yeah, I mean look at you. You I mean you got the hair flip so close to still being a douche Right, I don't look terrible there. You look good. I mean you're make me look tiny though because yo, you're you're a small boy

I don't think you realize Like you're you look big and masculine and hot, but next to me it shrinks you down, right? You know, yeah But did we went to so a friend of mine from college She's like do you want to be on this game show? It's not you're like you'll go Well, you might get selected and you can win like shit and I was like that was actually when I learned how they do the TV stuff Oh, yeah, I didn't do you remember all right, so it was called best time ever with Neil Patrick here It was a live show too very live First of all canceled. Yeah, it's gone after like four episodes. Yeah. Yeah, they got out Baldwin and Nicole Schwarz

We were you sure sure. Yeah, sure. She and Nicole ball Alec Baldwin was the host Yeah, no, he was like the guest host. He was like the guest announcer or whatever it was NPH was the guy NPH was up there Do you remember like this might be mean he was like kind of mean in between takes I don't remember that they would go to like commercial break and it would stop and he'd be like all right He didn't have a deep voice like that, but like he would like bark orders at people. I get it's a very hectic hectic area, but One of the reasons that I like this show put me off to like Hollywood and like so much Do you remember when we were in that room and they were like everyone say something like interesting about yourself, dude

That was the best time at all. Let me just tell from my point of view because it's so funny So they they take the people that are possibly going to be picked to be put on the show and they put them in a room You beforehand you get there like an like two hours before showtime and filming Astoria So it was easy for us, right? so we we went and They put all the guests so me and all the other people that were came coming with the people who are actually gonna be on the show On one side and then all the people who are possibly gonna be on the show on the other side And then they were going up and down the rows and being like stand up and say something about yourself

Mind you they only put the most like bubbly and In on TV and that's why when you watch the prizes, right? You get someone up there and they're like This person's a psycho. Yeah, so Everyone knows that going into this. I assume it seemed like it was like everyone's 20th time I'll tell you this everyone knew it but us exactly But the person that wanted to get picked and win money and it was it was so funny because they'd be like alright Tell us something about yourself and a woman would stand up. She's like hi. Yeah Agatha I speak three languages and my husband is a male man

And and then like all the people around know that they're being filmed and taped the whole time so they're like Like it was fucking insane me and Frankie kept looking at each other like what the fuck we are in the wrong place Yeah, we're like fuck. I don't even remember what my interesting fact was I can tell you this okay I know that there was a Legitimate trend of people saying they speak certain languages and then you stood up and The first thing you said was hi. I'm Frank I only speak English He said something like I don't speak seven languages and then you said something else

I don't know what the fact was but it was just like Whatever the fuck it was, but it was these people were just like hi. Yeah, it's like it's a stay-at-home wife I have four lovely boys. Yeah, like they are the light of my life would drive me Like just like fucking grow and this is I remember saying to myself like damn like that was visible and someone said like yo That's what every fucking waking minute is in Hollywood like if you live in Los Angeles You'll be like alright at a restaurant like yeah, can I get the? Caesar salad. Oh you want the Caesar salad? Well, let me tell you there's no real Caesar on it, buddy Pat like just like just want to take a shit on that person's face

It was exotic and then at the taping. I remember they had like a like a fucking role of The pictures of people that were gonna get picked for the yeah, and mine was the one right before they got picked Oh, and the trivia I would have swept this shit because it was like name the four Members of the Beatles and the person up there was like oh, oh my oh my god Michael Oh Steven yeah, like they had no fucking clue all right before we go any further We do have to get to the ads the friends of the show I'm doing it after the fact as I forgot to do it, but anyway here we go
