No, you were not you were Fox Kidding

Fox kids Fox kids on Saturdays. Never. I Know that you were Pokemon Yu-Gi-Oh Okay, thank you, but that was different. Yu-Gi-Oh was like fucking I was like in fourth grade Yeah, and you know how old you were in fourth grade not seven nine There you go close enough two years of blues clues. I don't think I was watching blues clues Man SpongeBob was watching like a whole bunch of Tom and Jerry SpongeBob was like 99 We'll get to those things, but I wanted to talk about blues clues. Yeah, he came out

Yeah, no not like he's not like that. He's a straight man. Is he I don't know actually there you go now. You're in trouble now No, I'm yeah, I'm assuming. Oh, but anyway, so Steve from blues clues the guy who's the host blues clues great show Mm-hmm, where you know, you would try to find there was a dog named blue who was this color. Yeah, literally blue Yeah, and Then this guy who like was immaculate at drawing like little houses on that path. Oh, what the fuck? Just I remember he had that chair and he would draw that chair really good I know and then he would first of all He would just draw like a circle and then just make them all connect and I'd be like

He was he was a minimalist before a minimalist was the thing like an art style. He'd be like, hmm Let's see. Let's draw this. He'd put a single line through the middle I'll be like this idiot doesn't know what he's doing and then he would turn it into a fucking landscape Yeah, he was like a like a diet Bob Ross kind of like, you know, I didn't know what was happening And also you're like that is apparently Bob Ross was like a little more spicy than people thought because he was like in the Navy or something He was like a pretty tough guy nice and then apparently he talked the way he did because he heard that it turned women on Or some shit like that. I heard that recently. Well, he was right. It also turns straight men. Yeah. Yeah

I don't know. I don't know if it's turning me on as much as you just like soothing me Yeah, but it's not making me want to fuck. It's making me want to just like yeah, but soothing is step one to the fucking No, I would say the opposite. I would say I don't I don't get soothed when I'm getting there I'm getting like fucking like amped up like I know but you have to be like No, yeah, I think it's just that you just sooth and then you need to ramp up I don't I don't get the soothing. I just think of like, you know, you know, that song that they play at every stadium Oh, they don't play that anymore apparently the guy touched kids Really, I think so. Well, no, no, I was saying no with what I'm talking about. You can't just like

Listen, if you're gonna fist someone fist. Oh fisting. Why are you going right to fisting because fisting is a lot like love Like if you're gonna if you're gonna fist someone, right? You can't just start punching vaginas You got to like sooth like get it warm and there are certain people that are just like they're just like fuck. Yeah, I'm ready No, no one's ready for a fisting. No, I'm not saying a fisting But like certain people are like you don't need to start with the finger or two. You can go four knuckle deep. I Mean you can argue if they're always, you know, you know, you don't need it You don't need to ring the doorbell. You can try to open the door. They don't get ready. They stay ready. That's it But yeah, he was didn't he Steve from Blue Scrooge? Yeah, wasn't the thing like he left to do like meth

No, that's what I thought. So like when we were younger, there was a rumor which rumors used to be way more fun A lot cooler because they would be real like sometimes. No, I know but like they would be an urban Like I just found out that Steve from Blue Scrooge didn't like oh Like basically do enough drugs to get off of this show Well, it was cool because rumors back in the day used to be so obscure and you wouldn't be able to be like easily like yes or no Oh, yeah, like you can't look it up You would have to go to the fucking library and get an almanac and like really figure it out You'd have to boot up and card at 95 and be like let's check this you'd have to harry at the spy back when back when plagiarism was

Easy let me tell you copy and paste Wikipedia. I was there. I was banging it out. Oh my god It was unreal. So the rumor back in the day was the guy He eventually like left the show and was like, oh, I'm leaving my brother's gonna be here Whatever apparently he just went off to college like he was just like oh, I'm gonna get it But I looked it up So I looked it up because when he put out this video that was like I never forgot you guys. Yeah, by the way Hold the strings There was something there was a banjo getting played in my chest. Oh my god, and it was hurting my heart

Yeah, there was an angel playing a harp in my fucking left chest cavity and like listen I I wasn't a big blues clues fan my right chest cavity by the way. I would This is the right. No, this is my left. Wait. Is this the right or left? I don't know. I don't know if they're looking at you It's just stays left or stage right like is it if you're looking at the state. Wait, is this my left? I don't know. This is my left. That's your left. But is it the left side of my chest? I don't know. I Don't know how they define it. Is it the doctor's view or my view? I don't know like like I said stage left stage right It's not I'm not sure not important. We're gonna say but I was I wasn't a big big fan

But I knew like I knew blues clues like blues clues was the thing I have two younger brothers, so it might have been more their speed than mine Yeah, and he came out and just let us have it and by the way, I never thought I always remember as a kid watching it Be like oh this Steve guy. Hey idiot like he'd be like, oh, where's the clue and it's like over his shoulder I'm like right there you fucking moron. Yeah, like look. Yeah, never thought he was a good actor. He turned it up For this video. Oh, yeah, he was like well, I don't think he was acting. I think he really meant it How do you know? Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I just hurt my toe really bad. You're okay. Yeah But like he was like first of all he goes right he hits you right where it hurts at the beginning

He's like we used to go from finding clues to Student loans. I was like god damn it He had to bring that like that way he could have went like you know anywhere else But like he had to hit every single person our age group right where it hurt I didn't even really know what I thought it was like an episode that I was seeing like he was back on the show or something Well, I think they did like a like 25 years or 20 years or something like that Yeah, it was like no he made up this video because it was a 25 year anniversary But I thought I didn't know I didn't know that so I watched the video thinking that it was just an episode of blues clues

And I was like he was talking about student loans like But yeah, no, so he put out a video and he was just kind of like, you know Like we've been through so much and he's wearing a hat because he's bald now Yeah, also so after I watched the thing how do you know? He didn't do meth though because afterwards I looked up You know the reasons why he left or whatever and there was this whole interview he did and he acknowledged the things He's like, yeah, there were so many rumors like there was a rumor that he died There was a rumor that he was like doing drugs and this and that he's like

He's like I just he's like one I was losing my hair and I didn't want to become bald on a children's show and to smart actually I just wanted to like Be a kid or whatever. I think he was 22 years old when he left How much money was this guy making from that show to apparently that was another thing in the article apparently he like Made cake. I mean, I would hope so he was on the biggest kids show for a while Yeah, if he was making any less than a million dollars like a season, I don't know how they would define that Oh, I don't know about that dude. I mean we're talking about two thousand fucking Three bro. He was on the biggest kids show in the world

Maybe you're gonna tell me that his fucking agent wasn't able to finagle away to get him like just Stupid penis loads of money That's what I'm saying like he's got he was probably all right. Let's let's be conservative with it Let's say Let's say he was making Half a mill a season That's for a 22 year old in the fucking 90s Brawl, I would have been doing math. Are you kidding me? I would have been just just smoking the the devil's ice

So there's a website here Steve Burns is his name Steve Burns by the way shitty name Steve Burns net worth Original blue school's host is actually super rich 10 million I mean if he did it for like a couple years He hosted it. He also the popular children show from 1996 to 2002 six years hundred episodes 10 million hundred episodes 10,000 episode

I'm off aren't I don't know. I don't know. I think I'm right. I think I'm right hundred episodes 10 mil 10 10 so $10,000 an episode 10 million I Think it's right No, that's one. Gotcha. Okay hundred thousand dollars an episode boo. That's pretty good. Wow My math is a little off. Sorry Yeah, but yeah, so I guess he just like crushed it dude only six years. Wow, that's crazy That's fucking for that. Yo, he's 47

Where is the time big yikes? That was 25 years ago. That makes sense. He was 20 22 at the time bro. Can you imagine being 22? Well, actually, I could imagine that you remember when you were 22. I do and you only had 10 million dollars I did not have that you are you right 30 million. No, I Wait less. I think I had 500 do you like Seriously, like I know like we always like look at fucking like celebrities at like a young age like a 22 And we're like we scoff at them because they go crazy like a Justin Bieber. Uh-huh, bro Don't you think your life would go the exact same way if not worse if you were that age with that much money?

Yeah, what Everyone like I remember the like people were like, you know Justin Bieber was a little fucking 18 year old prick with a hundred million dollars So, you know, he egged his fucking neighbor's house, bro Do you know what I've done in my life, bro? He pissed in a bucket and had that much money I pissed in way worse my pants and I had not anywhere near the amount of money Justin Bieber got so much shit when he was younger because he went into like the basement part of a restaurant and pissed in a mop bucket If I had his money, I would have stood on a table and pissed in someone's soap dude a hundred percent

There is no shot that I wouldn't have bought of like oh just a building to just pee in Just like bought a building in Manhattan to be like yo, this is my toilet and he got he got in trouble for egging his neighbor's house We used to egg taxis and they pull over and then the guy would get out and yell at us and then we'd egg him That's what we've I watched a kid that I know that I was with that night throw a pumpkin at a call Yeah, that was bad. That was bad and I never hung out with him again. No, we didn't but that happened I remember that I do you remember this we there was a snowstorm It was the snowstorm of 06 because I was it was me you and somebody else We were hanging out and we egged there was like a pile of snow in front of a house

And we were playing on it and the guy came out He was like yo get the fuck off of it and instead of being like, you know what he shoveled this. He's right. We're like This is our fucking territory on his property and we egged it We snowballed his house and then he came out and chased us You don't remember that he chased how many things I've done that I don't remember it being chased by a man, bro. I Probably shouldn't tell this story But there was a person that someone that we knew dated and they broke up and we went to their house and peed on their house Oh, I remember that and like I wasn't there for that. I did not piss it was like chill it like

And we had no money Amongst the ten of us. We had maybe $20,000 are you insane ten of us? Well, how old was that? That was like fucking 13? No, no, 18 at the time 18 at the time, but 18 I Had maybe $800 I'm saying at the time I maybe had like a hundred like $1,200 but it's because I work like a fucking piece of shit the whole summer But what I'm saying is like I know if I was Steve

And and I made that much money from blue schools at 22. I would have done math good for him for not doing it Probably not math, but other things. All right. I'm gonna just rattle off drugs. Give me thumbs up thumbs down You're doing them 22 years old 10 million dollars meth. No weed pills Okay, clonopins I've never ecstasy, but I've never been into drum ketamine. No, what acid? Probably Molly That's yes

How she's we're going back to I don't know. I'm being honest with you. I don't know a lot about drugs pills No, yeah, I mean, it's you know, it's it's and he hit us like right like I watched that and I was like god damn it He's talking through to my fucking what? Heart you said heart with the W. Yeah, my hat Yeah, no, it's kind of interesting. I wonder if he wasn't going bald if he would continue to do it I mean smart move getting out while you were on top, you know what? I mean, he retired Brett farm style, bro Do you remember the show I was like Brett farm did not retire on top

Who was the guy that did the quarterback and your look? Definitely not I mean he retired early not on top of fucking the Broncos John Elway. Oh, oh, that's retiring on top Wait, I'm the chance the bike But for pretty very much so retired at the bottom At the top he's like I want to drive this into the he said to dick pic and then retired put it like that I got worse than that. Oh god. That was funny What were you just talking about? Oh, I was saying this crazy shit on TV back in the day One of my favorite things was like the Maury episodes back then this always stood out to me and in it never

even occurred to me how offensive or like Fucked up this was but Maury used to have an ep like now It's just like oh my god my grandma you fuck my grandma in a chair Like you know I'm saying yeah, yeah, you you kiss the dog and fuck the grandma or something like crazy shit Of course, everyone's pregnant and trying to find out who's the father you get do you guys realize? One this has to be fake and two if it isn't hey You could just go to the doctor's office and like fine. You don't need to sign up for Maury. Yeah, it's it's fake I mean we can yeah like come on. Yeah, but they had a show called

Like girl or boy and they would bring out people like they would just say like is it like a boy or girl? The crowd would vote on if this was a girl or a boy and when they get it wrong the crowd was like I was like did you see and I as a child? I was like this is great. Yeah Well, I mean I looking back on some of the things that we said did laugh at it's kind of like fucked up I recently watched something. Oh, I recently watched mad TV and there was they did a skit with Will Sasso and Bobby Lee and The whole thing in the skit was they're pretending to be gay to get girls But like the big punchline of each of it was like they kiss and the people they're like going to kiss and the audience like

I was like this is fucked up. This is like and like I knew as a kid I was probably one of those people like dude, don't fucking kiss don't kiss that'd be so gay You know But yeah, a lot of those fucking you know, did you ever see so there's a show on vise right now called Dark side of the 90s and they have an episode online. What is that about? That sounds super interesting bro. It's not this it's it's so It spun off a dark side of the ring. You ever heard of dark side of the ring? Yes It's like basically they have dark side of football Like it's like just like fucked up stories from like things that happen and they have one episode on like the

Sleazy TV the Jerry Springer Mori Steve Wilkos of the world and there was one episode There was one episode where I forgot the name of the girl But like she brought out this guy and the whole thing was like his gay friend is hitting on him trying to like have sex with him and Because of the episode in the show he killed the guy What yeah wait who killed who the guy that was getting hit on by his gay friend killed his gay Killed his gay friend because he was coming on to him and then I think Kill I know I don't know if he killed himself, but he definitely killed the guy and it was fucking

Intent it was pretty fucking wild. I could not believe it. What the so like imagine like yo like I'm like yo Joey like I'm gay. You're not like yo, whatever you want. I will fuck you Okay, and he like you get to the point where you're like yo chill I'm gonna kill you and you do it. Yeah, and it's like yo It's a whole fucking story about because of that shit like they're like yo like who's really at fault here Like is it because and that's where like the conversation started like really like the basis of reality TV The guy felt so embarrassed on so embarrassed by his friend coming on to him that he fucking murdered him Did he go to fucking jail?

I'm pretty sure I can't remember if he if it was like a murder suicide or if he went to jail I'm pretty sure he ended up going to prison for first-degree murder But the conversation at the time was like yo like we need to call like Springer Ricky Lake all these people that are doing these Shows to fucking testify because they are pull like pumping this poison into our brains, too, and it's like in Creating this insatiable thirst and hunger for just violence That's what these shows work. Yeah, people would go on the show fight and they would be like um I fucked your grandma, and I'm fucking your grandpa, and it's like I'm gonna kick your ass

And it's like y'all they're just like wild shit that they would fabricate to come up Yeah, which is in fucking insane stuff dude. I remember one I watched an episode of Steve Wilcox and he was yelling at someone and I'm like, okay This is fake and also and he grabs a chair and throws it at the wall and it sticks into the wall That's awesome that I'll like he's like you get off of my stay like cuz he took the guy's chair So get up get off of my stage and threw the chair at the set and it's stuck in the wall That's pretty cool Steve Wilcox. He started as the bodyguard for Springer Springer. Yeah, I did I say Seinfeld before I meant to say Springer I think you said Springer whatever

But like yo you need to watch that fucking show it's like what they also talk about the viper room You ever heard of the viper room? No the place it was like a famous Hollywood club for like just celebrities It was owned by Johnny Depp. I don't know why that was like an obvious, but Johnny Depp Johnny Depp bad There's a lot going on there a little bit. There's a lot of like Amber heard a sign of she's a little bit She like almost severed his like fingers good and then like he was abusive Allegedly, she was abusive allegedly lot going on I'm just keeping my head and hands out of this back to the viper. Yeah But like it's just like yo like you could go and fucking get any drug that you want like any time

Yeah, and it was just it was just fucking wild. You need to watch the show. It's pretty fucking interesting Well recently I forgot how it came up But I think I saw an article or I got an email or something and it was about a like sex club and It's kind of like, you know Soho house I know I don't so it's like you pay a membership. I believe it's like $3,000 a year and you get access to This these places, right? There's one Brooklyn. Is it like What was that guy that did the firefest? Remember you had that card where it was like it's not like that Vinicius or it was like Megan Magnesis like that, but no, it's not like that

It's legit like there's one in Dumbo. It's a giant building. There's a pool on top. They have like events There's like, you know a bar area restaurant like it's like nice. There's one in like London. There's one in Miami So they're all over the world So it's like an exclusive place for people who are willing to pay $3,000 a year to like do it but you and you also like have to apply and like Convince these people that you're somebody and then they'll allow you to go in Yeah, so this is kind of like the same thing where it's kind of like a sex party sex club sort of thing for like the elite Yes, which all these things scare me

So you basically you like pay a membership fee and then you're you get to go whenever you want I think you can bring two people What hey, don't go but also don't bring anyone Go on continue, but I think you have to wear like a mask Or some people well, I've seen eyes wide shut. I know exactly how this fucking ends Drugs and sucking fucking. What was that movie that came out a couple years ago? Lovebirds were like they go to like a weird sex club like opera and it's like they're all wearing like those fucking like Beaks beak masks and shit like that when rich people wear masks like it's evil. It's scary. It's scary. It is. It's evil

I'm like, yo, what's like what is gonna happen in any like James Bond movie? Like if they ever go to like an evil auction, they're all wearing those masks those like fucking like weird masquerade masks Yo, those freak me out. Yeah, they're weird and like tonight and like now I'm getting in my head because tonight I'm going to this restaurant not that place. No, no, no, there's a new restaurant. That's opening up, but it's like this Like experience so it's like what I'm so lost my invite. Oh, okay It's like this experience It's like this experience But it's it's not like a regular restaurant like you sit down and then you like move around to other places

one of the places just looks like a lounge where there's just like chairs and shit and I'm like And like I'm seeing pictures and I literally was like this is the kind of place that like it's like Oh a murder mystery thing But someone actually gets killed in front of you and you got to like figure it out And it's like a game that the rich and how did you hear about this? I Don't want to say But you know I do I think so. How would I know? Oh Oh, there's there's one friend that

Gotcha, what it's Stop saying what you're saying. I know exactly what you're yeah that you first of all need to be careful It's not dude. It's not like that. It's it's just a fucking restaurant I wouldn't trust like that's the one thing when people like tell me to go places I often don't do it because I'm not going by myself. They're coming. I know That's all somehow worse. No, wait, I think you may have failed for the wrong person I don't know if there's someone I could think of that would make this situation less terrifying Yeah, no, you know what I mean like doesn't really matter anytime you see anything like that where it's like yo

Like it's an exclusive right when you hear it for the New York elite anything is exclusive don't go because you're gonna you You gotta be careful. What happens there Joey? Yeah, you might like walk into a room and they're like, oh and now we're auctioning off an incredible like 19-year-old piece We got out of South Carolina and just like a girl in chains walks out You need to be really fucking careful Okay, because then you're an accessory to this shit if you don't tell people and if you tell me I love you I Have to rat you out.

Yeah, but like What meat tastes like why I mean there's like two meats that stand out my mind. They're like, oh, this is wildly different It's lamb and like bison I've never had bison lamb is like I've had a really different than other meats Like it's like but like yo like oh like a fat steak like I don't think I've ever tasted anything I've been like wow that's steak like but like so I mean I'm gonna get crucified for this But like a steak and like hamburger meat are like they're different because they're there's their different quality

They're different quality, but like a high like I've never had like Japanese a five wagyu Yeah, but that just tastes like all that stuff just tastes like steak for the most part It's like the texture is different and it's like yes The flavors are a little more like rich and like whatever, but they're still like very similar taste But like a steak and a lamb chop are like different as fuck. I Don't know. I don't know. I chop is more like It's like I know I know what it is. I know it's it's more like it's more Like that like that. What about speaking of dead animals? Would you ever eat a mouse?

Fucking no, why not? I've been watching a lot of alone. I know we spoke about those are like organic I'm not gonna find a mouse in this city and eat it. Oh, there are no mice in this. Let me just I'm also not gonna eat any mice I don't know. I even said I mean if I you know like by me like a woodland mouse I would know but the reason I bring it up is because I got that fucking mouse Are you kill the mouse in your house fucking got it wait if you're making it seem like you ate it I didn't eat it. I didn't eat it. You kill it with your hands. I so Oh my god, you killed it like that. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. You murdered listen Listen, so the night like two nights before and I want to know how you feel about this

I don't know if we spoke about Beck and I had a long conversation. She made it very clear She would love me less if I didn't try to save the mouse Try to save it. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, so she loves you less What I I feel I did try to save it. It didn't work out. We'll get to that but like The the mouse died in the middle of tortures like you would you care for me less if you heard I was just like an animal murderer Like not hunting. I'm just saying like I just like oh, there's a cat across the street And I'm like come here kitty and I just fucking get it and just strangle it. Would you love me less? For yeah, we'd never talked to you. Oh, really? If you killed a animal in front of me like that

No, I never said in front of you. What if I told you like yeah, I've killed like six cats two dogs a parrot Literally would never I wouldn't let you in my apartment really swear. That's in Franky. That's crazy But like you know me now Franky that is insane. Do you not understand? But why? Have you killed a cat? No, I've never killed a cat. I've never killed a dog killed fish. I've killed a man I've killed a fish too. I've killed but like I'm saying like why are we drawing the line at like domesticated animals because they're like Basic they have a lot of human I will never do this obviously Peta if you're listening Don't throw the paint on me. Peta think about just people hearing you say this But like she was like legit. She was like, yeah, if you don't try to save it like I think I'd love you less

I'll say this Don't really care about the lives of mouse. That's and that's what I said like if we had like a fucking Cat that was like fucking up like we have a cat that like roams through our backyard and show like that We have chipmunks. We have squirrels I don't try to harm those because I I get it like I get those animals But like a mouse not my house not in my house and I use the like the excuse like they track disease They like track disease. They shit everywhere. They don't care. Yeah, they're big poopers. They love pooping Yeah, they love it. So like I'm just not

Sure like how I felt so I woke up one morning And it's quiet. I didn't check the traps Uh, and I I hear I I'm like that, you know Sounds like a mouse could be a squeaky door could be a you know a cricket because it was also like a You know like it could have been a cricket. Mm-hmm. So I'm like could be outside A lot of windows in my house, you know, we get a lot of light not a lot of natural light

I hear it again. I'm like That's the mouse I go to the closet and I got him in the glue trap The glue trap is what got him I have a picture if you want to see I don't well, I'll show you was it a lot. It was alive and it was struggling Becca stop watching now Stop watching now. I mean, I told this story to her but like what did you do? So like I'm like, okay. I have to put my daughter down. I can't hold I picked this thing up with my daughter in my hands

Put her down and I pick up the glue trap And you ate it I did try to like remove it from the trap, but those glue traps. Wait, wait, wait, wait, how You touched it. I didn't touch it. I turned it upside down and like, you know, try to like Shake it off a little bit. Oh, I wouldn't even be able to do that those that glue. I don't know what it is It's gluey That's like what I like, you know in two-frame roger avit when he like steps on the loop. Yes Like that's what I expected. It was it was pretty intense

This thing wasn't coming out. So it was like in its hair So the first thing that went through my mind was like, okay, I need to stab it I didn't You thought about stabbing a mice because I'm like, yo, like I need to put this thing out of its misery quickly And what is the best way to do? I'm like starting to run through my head Like what's the quickest way to let this thing die go next door to your neighbor get his gun Look at the flowers You just put a bullet in the back of its head. Um, no, I didn't do that. That would explode it

That would be quick, but it wouldn't get to it. What'd you do? So I'm like, all right. Do I do I like how do I do it? Do I like stab it like is there I I didn't want to like look up if there was a humane way to kill it because like then I would be put on a registry Um, so I opened my garbage can And uh, just like grunk I spiked the fuck You Spiked a mouse. Listen man on the glue trap to its defense. That is sick I felt really bad after

Um, but like I spiked it into the garbage and this thing was dead Like it was gone Okay, so the only Let this be a fucking lesson to other mice. I'm trying to be optimistic about this Don't fucking come in my house. What's your boy? What's gonna happen to your boy? I should have like hung it up in front of the house. It was like a sign on it. No, I The only thing I can say to help you here Is that you were doing it to put it to put it out?

I was I was trying to be like the most humane way to kill it because like He started with stabbing. I thought I ended with Yes, I did pest control came later that day and like they laid down traps and stuff like that But like the way that they talked about it like it's a lot less humane Like those are kind of fucking terrifying dude. So like I said in my old apartment. By the way, dany Freak Ruthless that mouse he was like, oh, I'll catch it. He was gonna catch it with his hand That's not possible. I was like, Danny, don't touch it. That's not possible

He literally or he was gonna just like hit it with a bro. Like I forgot what he said, but he said something like I remember being very disgusted and being like, please don't touch it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but anyway Before I found that mice before I caught it My neighbor my niland lord came upstairs. He's like, I got these traps. Don't worry about it. These traps apparently He's like they go in He's like the the scent it attracts them they go in they eat this little thing off of the fucking thing in there He's like and then there's a delayed trigger They go back

to their nest And it kills all of them That's fucking ruthless. So put this together the cia Fucking jesus. They're just sitting there with a fucking like little button. Yeah, it's like Well, the one that I got they're like the mice go in they're attracted to it They eat the bait and it spikes their body temperature And like they're instantly like, yo, I need water

So they go looking for water and as they're en route it fucking kills them Like it like spikes their body temperature to the point like there's no coming back And it they just die. My god, you got fevered rats in there. Now I have fevered mice. Yeah That's the thing. Oh my god, but I I did I did feel bad But I instantly thought like when I was like thinking of ways to tell becca about how this happened By the way, we haven't told miles miles don't watch this. He doesn't watch it. No uh It was like his pet or something. Well, he was like all about when we were laying down the traps

He was all about like we need to catch the mouse But like having to look at this thing. Oh, no, it's devastating like that hurt. I will say legitimately That did kind of fucking hurt dude. I told you when I caught the mouse and in the glue trap I saw it and it was moving and I felt so bad. I just shut the door and didn't use that bathroom for four days That's somehow worse than what I did. Um, Frankie you spiked. Yeah, but it was just like, oh, I'm just like dead You know what? I mean like I thought it was on like a roller coaster or something and then it was just fucking gone Lights were off. I'm hoping that one of your neighbors was just looking at you and your front yard was fucking Bad bro. I'm telling you I spiked this thing like like a fucking pro

Like randy johnson throwing a fastball. I took this thing out But then I was thinking of the ways to like tell becca So she woke up and I just played the clip from good fellas where it was uh We're fucking Robert De Niro calls about a spoiler for a 30 year old movie where he calls about uh, what's his name Being made, uh, joe patchy's character and the guy's like, yeah, well, we had a problem and um, he's gone Yeah, uh, we tried to do everything we could but we couldn't and he's gone and I was like, yeah, that's exactly what fucking happens He starts slamming the phone you mother

Yeah, he gets upset. He's like They fucking got him. Yeah, that's exactly It's a they whack him And then really I was like, oh man He doesn't care. Yeah, he doesn't he's not big But I didn't know like if this was gonna make you look at me differently. So I I figured I might as well tell tell the world I'll say this I know we got to catch mice. We got to dispose of them whatever

um They make great mouse traps now, which I had bought um, and they didn't The mouse just kind of disappeared a different mouse just kind of disappeared in my last apartment like teleports them No, no, no. So like this trap it's like they go in to this thing And then you put food at the end and when they walk in It closes so they can't get out, but it has like air things for them Yeah, I I tried you can put them on the street and open it and let them run out

But I was like, this bitch is gonna run back to my room. That's the thing is Becca was like, why don't we do that? And you have to and I'm like, I looked it up You need to bring it like miles away in order for it not to find its way back home I was like if you think I'm getting this mouse getting in a car driving miles to a wooded area Letting it go and then go I was like you have you think I have way much more time on my hands Yeah, I certainly do not I honestly think that the way that I did it was the most humane way spiking it spiking it

because like Trap like our Becca's sister was like, oh, they have electric traps. I'm like, what is that? And like it literally looks like I'm like a pad and they walk on it and it Fucking just zaps. I'm dead. I'm like, that's kind of worse. I mean that's instantaneous It's instantaneous, but like they feel this the zap for a sec Uh, it's better than feeling I'm stuck. My face is stuck to that. That that was bad that I felt bad for the glue traps I wouldn't recommend I did for people listening up to date. I did try the humane traps the ones that just capture them and like

Didn't work they didn't give a fuck about them I didn't think that far ahead because I bought those traps and I was like, oh, I'll just let it go But then I was like in the event that this thing gets caught in this trap I don't want to touch it. That's the thing is like I don't want to then bring it somewhere I'm making like It wouldn't it wouldn't do it really. Oh god mice. Do you want to see the picture? No, no Not of the post spike pre spike. I don't want to you have a post spike picture. No, I didn't do a post spike That's what I'm saying. Oh, okay. That would be a little you then I'd be like, hey Frank. Oh, yeah, not humane

Yeah, that would have been a little mean. Yeah. No, I I can't I can't do these things, but I I know all about being trapped You do Are you like horny for that stuff? No, there are people that get so horny for being trapped Who what are you talking about? I don't there's definitely people out there that are like, yo like tell me I can't leave Tell me I can't come and I'm trapped here. Oh, well the coming thing is a different that's weird. That's like edging Is that what it's called edging like yeah, I just bought an edger for my lawn very different Yeah, different things very different. You're edging your lawn. Yeah, so oh my god

Next time you call you'll be like, oh, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm edging right now I'm gonna be actually edging nice the lawn not the cum not the jizz not the cum. I get it No, I was talking about the fact that I was uh trapped on the highway because of the flooding Oh, yes, the flooding in new york was insane last week and it was just I went to arizona From humble brag joe. This is like stating like a mansion. Whatever. It's cool. It was a bachelor party. There was 20 people there relax

Was it a mansion? Yes, okay um So I had a great time there as well guys Not only did I not go didn't get invited reality though. I wasn't gonna go. We know we have a child. Yeah, we have two children too um, so anyway fucking uh I had a fancy draft the the day of the storm

I didn't even know there was a storm which is weird because usually I know when there's like bad weather coming You can go outside and do the No, are you just like hear it on the news or you can smell when it's gonna rain, right? Yeah, but you couldn't that day. Okay, and my fancy draft was at eight o'clock In rockville center, which is like 50 was like took me 50 minutes to get there Which by the way getting out there with great weather Still sucks still sucks So I get out there and it's raining like but it's just raining and I'm like, all right, whatever

and Then people when I'm there talking about like flash floods and I'm like I've never experienced really like a crazy amount of flash floods to the point where I can't get home What is it? What makes a flood a flash flood? It's quick. Oh, so like Like like that's why they call it flashing because it's like it's over in an instant. Yes. Okay. I got flash in the pan. Gotcha Whatever that means that's that's basically what that means, right? So then we do the draft whatever and I'm leaving and it's raining fucking insanely hard. Yeah, but there's no flooding Where I am on the highway and then I'm driving

Literally 25 miles an hour on the highway. I'm driving 25 miles an hour and I'm just like This is this rain is crazy. Like I can't see shit I was like, I'm just gonna drive mad slow home like I'll get home whatever time because I thought the draft was gonna be Way longer than it was I left there at like 10 o'clock So then after like 20 minutes of driving I Get to this point where like there's a lot of traffic and we're moving very slow

Like maybe six miles an hour or something, but we're moving then I see on the other side of the highway There's just one car ahead and then all I see is headlights like all the way back on the highway And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? I'm like, they're not moving at all As I get closer The one car that's ahead is up to its headlights Fucking water. What kind of car was it? It was like a like a compact car like a sedan Yeah, like whatever kind of car like a it could have been a Honda But it was like a car like that up to its headlights in fucking water and I'm like that sucks

I was like, but I'm getting home because we're moving but I had to drive through What looked like maybe two and a half feet of water So I drove through that and I was like good Then there was like no traffic and I was just driving then I'm like I Come up to another fucking flooding now We're talking about like a hundred yards and it's like three and a half feet deep And you can see random cars are just

Flooded in it like try to make it through just didn't their car shut off. They're fucked And now we're just sitting here and there's water rushing in from the street Just like coming down and just pushing into the highway and I'm like it was literally like a titanic Like I'm like, yo That's seen where the water is coming down the stairs than a titanic. I remember that. Yeah, that's seen And I'm like, what the fuck is going on and now I'm just like dude, I'm gonna be here for matt long So I just sat there for like 45 minutes and my car was just like in park That bro. Thank god. You have the truck. Could you imagine if you had your old car?

I would have left it on the highway. There was no way I was getting home. Just give it up Because that's what ultimately what people ended up doing But as I'm stopped here, there's a guy next to me in a pickup truck It's got a a fucking t-rex decal on the back window. This guy's making it. I'm like, I already know this guy is four foot nine With the thinnest dick. I already know that might be long thin spaghetti pee pee. So he So at a certain point and this is someone else and this is when I knew this guy Maybe didn't even have a dick because he opened the door small guy Sticks his head out

Does this and then goes into his car comes out with a flashlight A flashlight to on the highway. That's lit up With a flashlight And then it's on the it's on the mode that just does this Like a strobe light. Oh, he's signaling that he has a light. Yeah, who you call him a coast guard? SOS, what is that going to do? But literally like that is bringing sand to the beach. Yeah, and I was pissed about the flooding and I was just stuck in my car Mind you, I have to get up for a flight. It's at 7 a.m at JFK

I would have to leave my apartment at 4 30. All my shit is here and He so he he eventually and this is what like honestly made it bearable He like made it up somehow and tried to drive through the the big flood He got flooded. That was nice and I was like good for that fucking ass I like I often make fun of people that have like those like pickup trucks that are on like fucking like 10 foot stilts you know what I mean, but like They're laughing at us in that situation because he probably

And it's a he let's be honest would have made it through a fucking flood like that, but like yo Brooklyn was underwater. Yeah the Bronx underwater like I've never Subway system was just like I mean the subway system the last couple years is like this is not the first time this has happened Unfortunately, like dude some of those subway stations. It's like the stairs to walk down or like it's like fucking 15 steps And it's up to like there's only three steps and then it starts water. It's literally like being on a titanic Yeah, I I've seen like quite a bit. I feel like the subway system. Everyone's like, oh my god. Look at the subway Hey, that makes sense. Like yes, the tunnels on the island under water Shocker, you know what I mean? Like that's not the part that fucking surprises me

But like when I was Broadway the highway I was looking and it's like there's no highway even parts like Philly Dude Philly was underwater like Literally like the highway was like below ground level the water Yeah, that was just it was like 12 feet and then you saw you saw the guy He was like a food delivery guy that was like trekking through with the food and shit like that Well, how do you feel about that because I I almost like Like

I get that like people are stuck home and like they're gonna order but like The fucking don't you know what I mean? Like let this person go home Yeah, not not there and they're like, yo, but they're open the job the restaurants open. They should be doing their job It's like, hey man, I if I was at that place and I saw that that order came in I'm peeing in it Yes, I'm peeing in your food. I if also if I order in like a really if I order in like regular rain I usually tip well anyway, like I usually tip like five bucks or something, but um Well, I'll do it like a percentages, but I'll never order something and not tip five dollars like regardless of what it is but

Uh, if it's like raining like hard like it's a storm then I'll tip like more but like in a storm like that where it's just fucking like I don't know record rainfall like bro Yeah, the rain the rain the rain was bad the rain was bad I've seen people do that and like fucking like snow too Like I feel like it's worse to order in rain than snow Because like snow you can move. You know what I mean like it's gotta go mad slow No, I'm saying like you could move the snow

Like you can be like you could shovel a fucking area and like it's no longer there. Can't do that with water Big ol big ol fat issue. Yeah, and yeah like bro. I've never and you know, it was crazy down by me jersey No rain Dude, no rain In like south jersey. I know there was like rain in north jersey, but like by us Dude in in order to even code them in order to get off the highway I had to just like send it through this like deep puddle and hope for the best because like where I was wasn't deep In my it was like maybe like a couple inches deep

And then I saw there was two cars that were flooded and I had to drive through them and that part was deep But then it was just like a ramp bro. You got every penny out of that car. Oh my god. You have no idea That is fun. I literally just went And just drove through this thing and did it like like hit yeah like in the movies and it come over your fucking Yo, what it was fucking crazy, dude. And then like so I get through And long story short. I had to drive over like this fucking Middle divider thing and like on grass and then drive across all the lanes of northern boulevard You were off-roading in new york city. Yes, and then

Long story short. I finally get home and I have to just grab my bag and then get in the uber To the fucking airport. It took you that long Yeah, dude, and I slept I slept two hours. I slept two hours Grab my bag go to the airport on the way to the airport now It's like it has hasn't been raining for like three hours. So the water I think died down

But on the way to the airport, there's just abandoned cars on the highway Like you had to drive in and out of like the middle lane left the walking dead There was a car that was like completely burnt. Just it was on fire and there's no car It's a shell. It's a it's just the shell how steel parts How do you that's how you know you and your car suck if you catch fire in a flood? I don't know, but there was like Mercedes. There was like nice cars that were just abandoned Damn, I would have been out if I was a looter. I would have been out and our flight didn't even get delayed They were just like yep

And then we landed in Arizona and I can't sleep on planes So we landed in Arizona and then we had to drive two hours to Sedona and I was like The fucking traveling that I just did like in all that time like and I was running on like no sleep I was like if I don't get a fucking beverage that is alcoholic in my body. I'm going to what was the first bevy that you got What was the first cock? I don't even know. I don't remember But I remember being in the back because we got a sprinter van. There was like 12 of us in it

And I was like And pete was in the front and he's like hey We were thinking about stopping at this like national forest in the way there and I was like pete If I don't like get a beer and to sit in front of like by the pool right now I'm going to kill myself in front of all of you and ruin your life Like I like I like I need to like I was so At my wit's end. I was like dude. I need to go to sleep and I that's bro. I would have been so I was mad. I mean to be honest now

You know how it feels when I fucking drive back to jersey sometimes because I'll be honest There are times where I drive back to jersey great weather three hours of traffic And if the traffic is what's bothering you or the weather like I'm sure it was it was a it was a fucking Cableclade of both. I didn't mind the drive to Sedona. Oh, and that was another thing I totally forgot about this on the way and you're gonna think I'm making this up We're driving to Sedona and then all of a sudden geos phone goes off and there's a flash flood warning in the desert And it right and then we were driving and I'm like look at that I'm like that's rain and then 10 minutes later. We were in fucking rain

How do you flood in a desert? Isn't that why it's a desert because it doesn't flood? I don't know. I hate you It was it was biblical. God Is upset with you because he sees that you haven't been paying me enough. My prayers are working out And I was just like bro, are you kidding me? We can't escape these fucking flooding. Did your mom's house get flooded? Uh, Keith was like pushing the water. I didn't get like flooded There was water that was come like about to come into the basement But he like got rid of it got blessed if we had the old system we would have been Oh, yeah, thank god you guys fucking redid that. Yeah, that would have been bad

There was one time actually when I was younger It snowed and then Uh, it rained And then it was like freezing. So it created just a sheet of ice over all the drains and then it poured And the water was like coming into my basement We were all out there. It was me shan and keith my dad and like We were all out there and

I remember the water being so cold and so deep that I gotta lift my foot up. Here we go. Um, it was like Chachane it was like it was like all it was like right below my knee It was like that deep and the water was so cold that sucks too because you're at the bottom of a hill Yeah, and the my Leg was just red like beat red. That's how cold it was and I was out there with a sledgehammer trying to break the ice So it's clear to the drains Fucking crazy that sucks. It's terrible. It's something Listen, I'm not gonna say. I mean, I'm I'm very obviously

Happy where I am in life and like the fact of like my home my family over the last couple years I have been like There have been like hundreds of reasons just thrown in my face like you should leave new york like get out of a major fucking city because Bro new york like I don't think we've ever seen new york get hit with rain like that I mean like I know a couple years ago. They were the hurricanes, but like it was worse in jersey than it was in new york but like That was I think the worst like flooding wise I think I've ever seen in new york and people were just like fucking swimming in it

Living the dream people were dying bro. People have like basement apartments in fucking brooklyn Wait, people were dying. Yeah, like 12 people died How of the flooding whatever that mean? I don't really know what that means. How do you I drowning? I guess I don't I don't know yikes But I heard that like 12 people died joe biden was just over here My mom texted me she goes, what's going on? I'm like, what are you talking about? She's like, I can't get to fucking dimmer a story of Boulevard And she was like, is there something happening? I was like, I don't think I know I felt the traffic was like oh joe biden

I'd be more hyped to see the fucking Joanna games and chip show up But keep joe biden bro if I saw those frosted tips walking through my door I'm screaming if I see joe biden's old ass. We're like, hey man. We're gonna tell me you're sorry. Oh This sucks. My fellow americans. My fellow americans. It's like bro. This sucks. Any any like yeah, it sucks Any so like dude after a national track like whatever fucking happened my house is ruined. I don't need to see the president I need to see a contractor. I'm one

I'm one of those people that like where they're like, we're gonna have people come talk to you and apologize and tell you How rough it is. I'm one of those people that just like I don't want to fucking hear it. I know stay the fuck if they're like, oh and uh uh President biden is out and speaking and giving his condolences to the families. I don't need that I need fucking response. You know, and I know there are probably people watching this that are like, yeah And that's why we don't like the leftist because they like to sit in their shit Like I just kind of want people to be like, you know what?

This sucks. Here's fucking what we're going to do like joe biden If you come knock on my door, if you don't have a giant check I don't want to see you. Yeah, dude. Like I don't have a house. I don't care that you're here Yeah, oh are any politicians like also Like they they make there's like videos of like politicians like oh, well, they went to this Assessing that that's what they say or like they went to an ice cream shop It's like I'd be the owner of the ice cream shop just been like, dude. Are you gonna buy a rocky road or are we just gonna take picks?

Well, I'm sure I'm sure there are people like they probably get like an uptick in business where it's like Oh, I ate here last week and the president was here like oh my god, like cool, but like when it's like, oh, uh Senator Cruz is out assessing the damage in texas. It's like, hey We know the damage does he gotta take measure on him? You don't need to assess it I hate that so much because it's so clearly like talking to the people rallying Hey guy get a hammer and some nails. We will come back better than before Yeah, I get it. How how tell me how we're going to do that Not only that but like dude if you're just gonna show up and assess or you're gonna go

Oh, I'm trying to you know, I'm just gonna talk to the people No talking it's all it's all whether it's biden whether it's fucking Cruz out a couple years ago in texas when you fucking It's it's all just just figuring out a way to just think about this Get your own political gain and you're you're just you're literally just milking it How crazy do you have to be to be like? Oh, there's a national tragedy and then you're a politician like I'm gonna go out show fans. I should go there and just talk to them I get listen I gotta I gotta step back a little bit because I think like

9 11 that was different because 9 11 there was a sense of camaraderie You know what? I mean like people like the coming together was heartwarming But like in a situation like this where it's like your basement floods because of a storm that kind of prevented maybe through Echo not like environmental change. I'm not gonna get to that but like when they're like out there and they're like, yeah That really sucks. You lost your records. Oh, it's like I get that just like I don't need you here because no one's seeing that and going like good for you Like if you are one of those people that's like a politician got out to talk to people after a flood and you're like

I'm gonna vote for them Reassess your priorities. It's like I don't have a house, but I met the president. Yeah It's like who fucking care. I met the mayor What does that do? I don't care. I don't care these people that are like, yo like, oh my god De Blasio came to the cold stone that I work at Cool What did he order? Yeah, I don't give a fuck if he got mashed up fucking Snickers I just want what is that?

Majo Biden's coming back mashed mashed up Snickers. Yeah Yeah, I it is so like exhausting like fuck. I don't care what side of the political spectrum you're on Like demand more change than seeing someone go out with a hammer and being like we're gonna rebuild this. It's like, I know we will But like I guess that's like part of the job to be like when things like this happen You have to show up and like say something but like at the same time It's like bro I would be pumped and I don't care what side of the again political spectrum you're on just talk Frankie I would be pumped if like joe biden showed up

Or ted cruise showed up in fucking overalls with like a smock. Remember smocks Smocks are cool. If you have a smock as a politician Wait, isn't that for painting? Yeah, and they're like and like one part of the overall is like down and they're like We're gonna paint this fence and like they're just out there like painting hammering in nails Then you got me a little bit. I gotta admit joe biden's a thousand. He can't paint. Yeah, joe biden swings a hammer He's killing someone himself possibly

Yeah, but uh, I don't want to see you out there being like we're gonna do I want to see you out there like here's how you do I don't know is it's just a funny thing to think about but It was it was a long fucking week for me not me.
