Welcome back to the bass. Welcome back to the bass manyard, Francis. Yes, oh Francis today. I don't like it. I don't like your name. Take it back. It's definitely not my name. It's a white's name. How are you? I'm good. Your tongue's a little pointy, isn't it? Anyone who's like not watching has no idea what you're doing.

Yeah, I was just, he was making his tongue very pointy. And I was doing my finger drumming, which I very clearly told Joey, one of the skills he doesn't know that I have. I'm a very good finger drummer. Can I say this? Yeah. You have a fantastic neck for annoying me very quickly.

And like because of that, when you started doing that before we started recording, immediately I was fired up inside. And I wanted to yell, but then I was like, this sounds really cool. It's not bad, right? Listen, listen, I don't know if they could hear it, but it's like. It's not bad, right?

Listen, listen, listen, I don't know if they could hear it, but it's like. It's not bad, right? Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I don't know if they could hear it, but it's like. It's not bad, right? Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I don't know if they could hear it, but it's like. It's not bad, right? I Like what is this? I don't even know I mean it's tough because that you got to give me a beat I'm not the beats making beats are never my strong point. I hate when people tell me that by the way That's one of my big pet peeves who many people tell you making beats was not as strong No, but someone's like you'll give me a beat. I'm like why am I why am I being I don't want to give you a beat?

I've never been a good beat giver. I mean, either. Like, I'm not gonna just sit here or I'm gonna beatbox all of a sudden. The fuck is this? Bro, I can't tell you. There was a point in my life. I tried so hard to beatbox. I had to take care of you.

And you just didn't work. Wow, wow, dude. Seriously, and you know what it was? I forgot the name of the guy, but there was a song that came out in like 2006 and he, he sang and did the beat at the exact same time Do you remember that no it was called if your mother only knew oh? Yes, I do remember that

Clearly you made a lot of headway there and you had progress on being a good beat boxer Anyway, I don't want to talk too long because you know me and Frank here just gonna fucking go on tangents or whatever Yeah, we did but we do have an announcement today as you can see from the thumbnail. From the thumbnail and the fucking what's it called? The title of this episode we do have news about and we've been holding. I don't know how to deliver this news. Right. Without sounding like it's good. It's good news. It's good news. It's different news than I mean we don't really ever announce news. We don't have any news. So the news is it's just the news you watch noosh

Yeah, Joe and Joe's a big Fox news guy. I just realized you call news news because it's new Didn't even think I'll now swear on my life news. I never would have you know what I mean like it's new information No, there's got to be there's got to be something. No, there's gotta be another reason for it Why is it called the news because it's like then it's the news stories who knew? Maybe that why because no one knew it's right. That's what I'm saying. Then when they call it the nose No one knows yet. It's new, but it's new, but then once you know you knew No, yes, that's not how that works So it might be physically breaking if something is new and then you know it

It's no longer new, but then you knew it you don't then knew it no because you know you know I know it But also I had know I have never knew it. I knew it Joey You know it in the future in the future you will know it no no No, if you tell me something that's brand new right now, I know it. No, you don't. Yes, I do. No, then you then know it.

Now I know it. And guess what? Now I knew it. I knew that. Look, watch, you can't say that yet. It's a beat. Watch, tell me something new. I know it.

I knew it. Got it? I don't know why it's called. There's definitely a logical reason why it's called the news. I know, I know, I know. I don't know because I feel like who says it? I don't know, we'll say it. So yeah, anyway, we do have news. That's not old news.

No, no, no. Which you don't know it now. You will know. Now you will news it. And no, no, no. It's Which you don't know and now you will, now you will news it. And no, no, no. It's new that you know and then you'll knew it, exactly. But for the first time, ever, we're taking the podcast on the road. Ah!

I'm not I I'm probably not This is all possible because of you guys and none of this would have been possible and we heard that you guys wanted it we wanted to make sure it was something we were physically and

something we were physically and Entertainmently if that's a word hey, it isn't so there's that able to do look is this a rag no Merch all right, which I don't even know that's out yet, but God bless guys you gotta come guys You gotta come to the live shows like I said Jersey We gotta come to the live shows, like I said, Jersey, Massachusetts, and fucking Connecticut. We're doing these three shows, but like I said, there's gonna be a lot more shows that we do throughout the year. And realistically, if you come to these shows,

it gives us the opportunity to say, we can do more places. Right. And do other stuff. So if those, I know that not everyone lives in the Northeast metropolitan area, but, hey man, don't say that, you're not a weatherman. I'm okay. Don't say that. The Northeast metropolitan. But if these shows do well, there's more coming to you.

Yeah, there's more coming. So if you want Joe to come for you and Anya and Tooja, no stop, okay? Jesus, what sip? I don't know. What? It's nice. Why did I say that like Ruby? It's nice? Yeah, you're talking like a baby now dude. It is crazy. Yeah, I am Excited yep nervous. Yeah, do you think that thing is gonna happen where people where they say before they go on stage? They just have to just suddenly shit

You just put that in my head and I didn't need that. No, you got it. Yeah, the fucking big IBS over here is gonna get you. Okay, again, making that up. I just did a line of shit paying off the table. I snored it, dude. Yeah, I think that's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm really excited about this. I haven't, I did a show what happened what happened what are you doing? What is going to happen past that? Hey I did a live show that Frankie was on actually in 2016 at Caroline's which was was like a cool experience but I felt like at the moment I I was like I need more time to figure out like blah blah blah and at that point I was doing the podcast by myself.

But now it feels like- How'd that go bitch? But now it feels like the perfect time. And also, I wanna just point this out. This is like the craziest shit. Me and Frankie were just talking about this yesterday. But like Spotify wrapped just came out recently. Our listeners are up 314% for this year.

Our streams are up 3714% for this year. Our streams are up 378%, 200,000% a two, 200% followers. We were on the top charts 43 weeks out of the year last year and we picked that number four. Insane, insane growth and. It's because of you guys and because of mainly me, but also No, it we we joke around because of Frank and all of his shirts

It is my shirts and my minor league baseball hats It's the fact that he looks like just a guy in the Bronx right now, right? Don't you do I was did you see they edited that article where they talked about us? And they said that I look like Jason Momoa. I saw you added it. I didn't edit anything. I sure you prove it was me. Yeah. And that was another thing too. Business insider put out an article that was like these are the top 15 rising stars of the podcast whatever like this. I don't know. Some shit would Spotify and we were number eight and there was like big names on this list and like it's crazy. Like we're we've never been on TV. We've we not getting, that's not true, remember our pop charts clip, one good morning America.

Okay, but like we've never like, you know, I have this mainstream success and it's like, it's insane that, you know, we are able to make that list, have the growth that we have, and now we're gonna be doing these live shows, and we're really excited, these are the first three, and we're gonna try and make it like an experience, we're not gonna go up there and just do this

and talk to each other, We want there to be crowd work and like talk to you guys and get everyone involved. And there's gonna be more information on that as well, but the crowd is going to be involved in the show. Every show is going to be different. So we're fucking super excited. And experience that will be tailored to the people that are there and the place that we are.

Like it'll be one of a kind. Like there's no way that it'll be a replication of any or duplication. What is a replication? Is that a brand new? Is that? Oh, it's good. Yeah, it's pretty good.

But yeah, again, the basementyard.com to get your tickets, pre-sale will guarantee you have the best chance to get the tickets before they sell out. We hope they sell out. The code is basement, okay?

We dreamed of this when we were fucking kids. We did. Jokes aside, I'll be serious Frank for a sec. We dreamed of this as children. Yeah. And it's now coming true. And I joke aside, I owe a big part of that. If not, mostly all of it to you.

Yeah, well, when I get to the bottom of this thing, that's your luck. That's your luck. I asked you if you wanted food, and you said, no, I ate this morning. Kind of shit. I did eat, but it was in breakfast. That sounds way more like it.

What was I doing? see what I do. Not what I meant at all. Fuck. I didn't. It wasn't breakfast. Oh, you just munch it on fucking box all morning. Munch it on box. Yeah.

I just ran out of breath. No, it was like a dessert. Oh, from the day before and it was on the tape on the fucking. It was there. It was out yet. And I was like, because I didn't want to see it. I saw it. So I was like, well now.

But yeah, it's going to be just like a big hangout. That's kind of how we sort of view it. We're not using it as like an episode of the podcast or anything. We're calling it the Basement Art Experience because we want it to be me and Frank up there on stage

interacting with the crowd and making you guys feel like a part of it. And we're just doing a thing. We don't even know how the fuck the shows are gonna go to be transparent. The soldier in transparency still having, it's all idea. This is not an exaggeration.

DG? DG? DG? Afro DG-A-C. DG-A-C. Why'd I say that? I don't know. I imagine if you had this, and oysters, and chocolate covered strawberries. This isn't an Afro DG.

Oh, alright. Well, it's alcohol. Everything gets the blood flow. I know what you know oysters have been like, yo, fucking, I'm about to go fuck pussy. Bro, who made that up? I don't know. You know it was some like old-timey fucking like 1700s pilgrim I'm sure finally had an oyster got a dick hard for the first time in like two years and he was just like

This uh this uh this saltwater booger snot. Yeah, this is the stuff right here. Usually when I eat oysters I'm like I'm gonna go home and take a slippery dump ill What is fucking wrong with you would that no I hate that I loved it no I can see the love in your eyes I I haven't had oysters in a while because there was like someone last year in Connecticut like three people like I like braining amoeba disorders from it you know when it anyway so did you get it I don't know did you you want to hear something funny about that I think nothing nothing funny about it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no And I was on my way to the gym and I just looked at my DMs and I saw a girl had DMed me and said, Hey, hope that's distilled water because if it's regular water, you could get a brain eating amoeba.

People have died from that. Yeah. I pull over, stop my car and convince myself that I am now dying. Oh, wait, you were checking your DMs driving? I was at a red light, yeah. Yeah, okay. But I was like, so then I, I, There he is, there's, there's, there's a, you know. This was so long ago, but I was like, yo, I'm gonna die.

Hyper-conjury act, yo, over here. Crazy, and then like my brother-in-law, he's the only person that like made me feel better because I wrote in my family group chat, I was like, farewell family. Like I'm done, like I swear to God. You run your way out. I literally thought I was like, farewell family. Like I'm done. I swear to God. You run your way out.

I literally thought I was gonna, I mean I do that all the time. There's tons of times where I think I'm dead. Yeah. But like I did this and then Shannon was like, then says he's done that with regular water for like years. Yeah, I used to do it. Like that makes me feel it.

I used to do it with like, you know, hose water. And I'm okay. You went outside to fill up your netty pot? No, I've never used a netty pot. I've never used it. Shut the fuck up. Netty pots work by the your nettie pot? No, I've never used a nettie pot. I've never used a shut the fuck up. Nettie pots work by the way. I'm sure they do. Never use one.

I have drank from the hose as a kid multiple times, dude. Yeah, but that's not putting it in your nostril. You're right. It's just putting it in your mouth and in your body. I think that's better than putting it in your hair. What's the difference? The difference is people drink tap water. And hose water is not tap water. It's different. It tastes delicious though. I'll tell you that. Wait, is it not tap water?

I don't think it's the same. I think that they're like the filtration for the hose water is not the same as a filtration for the Water. Why did you just turn into a fucking Lilo and stitch? The fuck was that? That's what I know No, I think I think like most Like the plumbing for like a house includes a form of a filtration system. And it's not the same for like the pipes that are routed for the hose.

OK, we do have sponsors before Frankie talks about any more filtration systems. Over that already. We do have better help here, better help. This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. BetterHelp is online counseling and therapy. If you want to jump into therapy, which I think that you should, you can do so with better help.

on their site, fill out a brief questionnaire, and you get matched with a licensed therapist and you could switch at any time for no additional charge. But yeah, I feel like I've benefited from therapy for being in it for as many years as I have. And I think that everyone should be in it, even if you don't have anything that's like super traumatic or anything, you know, I think it's important for everyone to have someone to talk to just lay all your shit on, honestly.

I got into an accident. It wasn't my fault. There was a nice Jewish man who ran into the back of my car. He ran right into his back. He met. And he immediately was apologetic and he was like, stupid mistake and I was like, it's all good. He gave me all this information.

Didn't give me his insurance, but I don't, I don't need the car. You don't need it. You call your insurance to give him his name and information and they pull it up. No, I know. I'm saying, I'm just like, you know, that was like the one thing you should ask for in that situation, but I was like, you were freaking out. I know. I wasn't freaking out. I just, I rolled down my window and I was like, I'll be honest with you, dude.

I don't know what to do here. I'm scared. Oh, he could have thought like, first you give me a hundred bucks cash. I'm not a fucking moron. Well, apparently you are if you didn't ask for his insurance. But anyway, I was in the Uber on the way over here, and it was a woman, and we were talking, just having a friendly conversation, and then she crushed someone's mirror. Like what's the crush? I was looking down at my phone at the time, so I didn't see it, but it's, it like, it was like,

I just went yeah, you didn't report it I didn't run your a bystander, but no one was bad as the person that hit the car I don't know this is all hearsay to be honest. Yeah, this didn't happen. This is all comedy, but also I Didn't run running is like people were there be like, oh what the fuck and you ran away? I didn't run no one is like, people were there, I'd be like, oh, what the fuck, and you ran away. I didn't run, no one was around. I just kinda went about my business. Joey, that's not reporting. You witnessed a crime.

You ever hit a side mirror? No. Really? Yeah, no. I did. You skinny, it was a skinny street, and I was in a u-hole, I was moving, and I hit a car. Still doesn't matter.

You witnessed a crime. Yeah. You refused to report. Technically, I didn't see it. I was looking down on my matter. You witness a crime. Yeah. You refused to report. Technically, I didn't see it. I was looking down on my phone. I heard a crime. What is that? What is that? You can witness with more than one thing. But I didn't witness with my eyes. How could I possibly? All right, Joey. So if close your eyes, if I fucking shoot someone in the corner and you hear the gun go off and them scream, how am I supposed to know anything and shoot themselves and throw the gun at you? Because you see me with the gun go off and then scream. How am I supposed to know anything? Shoot themselves and throw the gun at you.

Because you see me with the gun beforehand. I go, Joey, I have the gun. Watch this, close your eyes, bang! And I shoot Keith. Frank, if I don't, if I don't, Jesus. Sorry. No, but like, Greg, is that better? I didn't see, bro, I didn't see.

I haven't seen my eyes. You can see with your ears though, Joey. Wrong. There's different senses. Observe seen my eyes see with your ears though Joey wrong. There's different senses Observe is not just observing with your sight. It's observation using any of the senses that I heard Joey it's what it is you observed it no You observe using your your senses No, an observation Joey if someone's cooking fucking but how many senses because I didn't see I only heard I didn't taste that couch that counts

I didn't taste or touch the crime doesn't matter. You don't need to taste the crime it counts Everyone I do what do I do now now you call the cops and you let turn yourself in I can't yeah, it was a good ride We got live shows in January we can I've chosen January. We can't. Yeah. Yeah, I was discussing. Oh, we do have more ads to run through here. The first one being prize picks. We got prize picks. Ladies and gentlemen, prize picks. A lot of fun. You can play it on the weekends when there's football. That's when I like to play. But you can play it for any sports. Okay. They have F1. They have NBA. They have NHL. They have pretty much anything.

But with the basketball season here, you can now pick combo projections across football and basketball, by the way. Didn't even explain what the game is, but with prize picks, you're battling against not other people, not professionals, but the prize picks projections. So you're just gonna say more or less than the projection.

So when it comes to the sports, someone like LeBron James, you know, is he gonna have more or less than 22 and a half points? Something like that. Usually I like to root for more, just because I like a nice scoring, high scoring game. But that's what I do. But with basketball season here, you can now pick combo projections across football and basketball from the specials league. And for example, you can do LeBron James and Travis Kelsey at a 10 and a half combo of You can now pick combo projections across football and basketball from the specials league. For example, you can do LeBron James and Travis Kelsey at a 10 and a half combo of three

points made and receptions. That's a lot of fun. You have two sports, one sort of prize picks thing there, and you can win up to 25 times your money. I've won some pretty good money on prize picks. It's a lot of fun. All of my friends for some reason now are getting into it when I've been talking about it for a while, but a lot of my friends just started playing price picks. They love it, but it's great. And they also have a reboot policy so that your entry stay and play, even if

one of your players gets injured because that's a lot that's happened to me so many times. You have someone's receptions more than this reception. They get injured and you're like, now I'm out, the game's over in the first quarter. But they have a reboot policy. So if your person gets injured, for basketball and football games, you have a player who acts as a game in the first half,

doesn't return the second, the player is rebooted. But it's the price picks is the only daily fantasy sports platform with an injury insurance policy. So it's a lot of fun It's easy to understand. It's just more or less Just more or less and you can win up to 25 times your money.

Oh, oh no a month like oh, I was paying 2300 a month you have a family still a lot of money. I know I'm saying still a lot of money. Hey was bitch. I know that's why I said what But no I

But I was in the car I was in a taxi because I think this is before Uber But I was like doing YouTube for a little bit and I had like a little buzz and I was like oh my god And then MTV asked me to be an extra in the show and I was like I'm a fucking star and then we I was on my way there And it was filming at some bar and like the low-reside, got two blocks from it, boom, got into a car accident. Not a good omen for like my career, because of that one.

Whatever happened, I got out. But like, did you make it big because of that show? Yes. The show didn't even come out. That's tough. Who is there anyone else notable in the show? Not that I can remember at all. I don't remember anyone's face or anything. I remember I walked with this guy, one of the guys and some

girl to the train, but I don't remember who they were, but they were also extras. So I don't know. But I was like, you know, at this, it was like a bar, and we were shooting this scene where like, it was three dudes sitting around this girl, who was like having a drink and roll like trying to like get at her. Oh shit so you had to like turn the rison. Frankie, you are fucking 31 years old. I'm so fucked.

You don't get to say that because... Cuz! Just so you know. This fucking champagne is flowing baby! This is what you're gonna drink every episode. We- well... What's gonna happen? Are livers deteriorate?

So what? Had fun though? That's right. If it's not fun. I can't drink champagne at the shows. One, get way too drunk. Scared of being drunk on stage. Two hiccups.

Hiccups I have to end the show here. You'll get right the adrenaline will come through. That doesn't help hiccups. And I can get the hiccups out of you. How? Scaring people doesn't do that. I know. There's a way. There's a way that like Becca taught me that I've used

and has worked almost every single time. How do you do it? So you breathe in, hold, breathe in, hold with with your, through your mouth, and you keep going, literally until you can anymore, you hold for six seconds, and then you slowly breathe out, and your fucking hiccups are gone. Start drinking it, I'll get you, get hiccups, and we'll try it.

You think I'm gonna go in my way to do this to prove that you're wrong? Yes, I do. I'm not gonna do that. The hiccups thing is, I get bad hiccups. Yeah. Am I doing? You hear me?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. Yeah. This is crazy. I am happy. Oh man, we have to save these bottles. DOOSH!

DOOSH! In the Patreon episode, if you guys have watched a Patreon, you understand. There was a thing we were trying to figure out, who's the bigger douche? One of them was saving fucking liquor bottles. DOOSH! You douche, douche! You're the bigger douche! But, but, we can sign it, and it could be like announcing our first live show.

And then we can auction it off. Auction it off. Auction. We can sell it at a premium. When I went to Danny's show at Grammarcy, which was hilarious, if you have the chance to go see Danny, go see Danny, someone asked me to sign their shirt. Yeah.

And I was like, what's this gonna do? Dude, I don't know. When I went to Danny's show. autographs are weird. When I went to Danny's show at Caroline's, someone came up to me and they were like, do you mind signing my sweatshirt? And I was like, I've never,

I've never, no one's ever asked me for my autograph. That's such like an 80s thing. Like in the 80s, people were going up the celebrities and they were like, sign this napkin as if it was gonna be something. Wasn't then, ain't now. Right, you know, I learned that because I just watched the show get

gotty, the three part documentary on Netflix. You watch it. Yeah. I was like a fucking rock star. Yeah, murderer. Oh, sometimes, you know, well, you got a murder, right? No, no, no, no, no. But yeah, people were like going up to him in the street and like asking for his autograph and shit, which like, that's how that's a wild concept. What'd be cool? I guess it, it's like, I get it.

I guess it! What was that? No, I guess I like, I get it. Like I get getting people's autographs, but like bro, I'm not gonna be this like person that people talk about in history. You never know, we're just getting started. I know, but like.

What if we play this sphere in Las Vegas Can you imagine play this fear? Yeah, I just said that like I'm Bama They did I know I know that's that place is fucking nuts, dude I want to do radio city one day Yeah, is that our is that our like that's what I want to do radio city I. Or M.S.G. I want to do the beacon. Beacon M.S.G. or Radio City. Those are three biggies. First of all, M.S.G. is such a wild jump

from both of those. Like it's insane. I think it's like beacon, and not beacon. Yeah, beacon. And then Radio City is not double, but like close. And then M.S.G. is like triple. Oh, like Radio City is not double but like close and then I miss she's like triple Oh Radio City. So like chill. Yeah, right we'll get there maybe but Radio City would be fucking dope That was Radio City. Yeah, where the rockets go. You care about them the rockets. Yeah I saw them at the Thanksgiving Day parade and I'm like I

Got it. I thought you had great dancers. You'd be pumped, because you're all about ankles. That is true. Do you always have ankles? I like a leg too. I do like an ankle guy. I like ankles and I like legs.

And the rock cats, they have great legs. Both of those, normally. Everyone's got some ankles that, well, not everyone, people who have been in shark attacks. I would say it's a requirement to have ankles to be a rock cat. It is, it have like two black girls up there and like everyone's like. See? See? There's not such a thing as racism. We got two black ones up in. But basically I said, that's the one.

That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. And then now they have like two black girls up there.

And like everyone's like. See? See? There's not such a thing as racism. We got to black ones up in but basically I That's that's what it is they have one they have to I should say and But I think back in the day it was like everyone had to be a certain height and a certain weight like it was like crazy Oh, yeah, it was probably very not cool like yeah, we get we get almost with a hundred percent There was a girl who was like 110 pounds like listen fed bitch

You need to lose some fucking way to cut down a rock 10 or 20. Yeah, it's fucking poor one 110 pounds It's like well I listen fatty. I brought this up before we had a teacher that was a former rocket Home yes, who? a teacher that was a former rocket. Whom? Yes. Who? Are- Who's we, me, you? Yes. Who are elementary school librarian Miss Martinez? Get the f-

That bitch wasn't a f- in rocket. I'm letting you know, bro. Miss Martinez? Why does she so mean? That's kinda probably- it was probably beat into her. She was probably a rocket in the, you know, 70s, dude.

You know how bad it was back then, probably? She had big glasses and wore a long skirt. And a bellowing scream, dude. She had a bellowing scream. She was not very happy, but we did learn the Dewey Decimal System from her. And we read the same, like, 10 books that everyone in the 90s read.

You know what I like? You know what book? I love. I don't really love it. I've never read it, but I like the cover. The one with the fish with the... The very colorful fish,

or the rainbow fish or something like that? Yeah, I think the scales. Yeah, but it's got a holographic one. Yeah. I was like, oh. That? Fucking the very hungry caterpillar we used to read all the time. That's my shit. It's got holes in every page.

Yeah. Stellaluna. What's that? You remember Stellaluna? Is that with the moon? No, it's with the... Good night moon, it's nothing. Good night moon you remember Stella Luna? Is that with the moon? No, it's with good night moon Good night moon. Stella Luna's the one with the bat the bat. I don't like bats at all You definitely you definitely know what this is. I don't like I'm about to fucking reopen Stella Luna. That sounded weird. You're gonna reopen me When was I open first?

You're gonna reopen me. When was I open first? Yes! Told you dude. What? You'll hold on, give me your phone. I seem to look at this and get some- Told you dude, is that bat? Wow. Stella Luna.

And then what about the very stinky cheeseman? You don't remember that one? No. The stinky cheeseman? No. Those are good books though. How hard can it possibly be to write a kid's book? You think we remember that one? No. The sticky cheeseman? No. Those are good books though. How hard can it possibly be to write a kid's book?

You think we could do that? Literally not at all. Literally zero percent. I think we could write a kid's book and it's fine. I've read books. I don't remember that. You don't remember the sticky cheeseman? I read all of the books that my nephews have and my niece have

and I'm like, I could do this. I read Ruby loves reading the same books over and over that I've memorized some of them. Like I've almost memorized Fox and Sox. I've 100% Fox and Sox, so the big fact Cox. Definitely not, definitely not the word. Definitely, absolutely not. She has a 12 days of Bluey's Christmas.

Memorize that. Bluey. Bluey,orize that. Bluey. Bluey. Who's that again? It's the little blue dog. Oh, Australian dog. Yes. Her sister Bingo.

The Australian's just pumping out kids stuff, dude. Bluey, the Wiggles, Talitubbies. What's Wiggles? You know, you don't have the Wiggles? No. The Wiggles. We were just like five middle-aged men that were dressed up and they would like dance for kids.

That sounds like the telly tells you. Basically, but they were just not in big giant costumes. And they were Australian. So they'd be like, our nor. Dude, do the our nor, that hasn't been done. That joke hasn't been done ever. Do that joke. Do the R-nar.

Is this a cover? It's like, would I be able to rip this off or is it, oh no, it is the bottle. Why do you need to be like such a like little bitch? Like, why do you just let it be? I don't when I find myself in times of trouble mother Mary comes to me speaking with wisdom let it be damn kind of hit that I don't know where to I didn't know you're gonna start from the like bridge or whatever. Where do you think I was going? I didn't. I like. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, oh, let it be. Whispers of wisdom, let it be. Sign off.

Let's go to karaoke now. Let's go right now. Yeah, just go there. Go to Korea town and be like, y y'all set us up in a room There it is there is the racism it's not racism. That's where the karaoke spots are where is Korea? Why is it that korea town koreans love fucking karaoke watch this kattery okay is a Japanese word Joey Are you fucking kidding hey idiot? I just said korea I know but like you said Japanese I know like Asia It's and who even knows if it's like,

but why do they, why do they love it? It's a Japanese. I mean, I love it. A form of entertainment in which recordings of music, but not the words are popular, of popular songs play so that people can sing. They invented that? Japan, dude.

Japan invented that. Pokemon. karaoke. karaoke. sushi. Probably. Pretty sure, Yeah, macha T For Harbor they well Joey I'm just saying they didn't no no, I'm not blaming. I'm not mad if anyone's to blame I'm not mad. You should be no. I'm just saying I'm just saying I wouldn't know what it was if they didn't

Technically what they did was create it put a spot. They put it on the map. They did put it off the map. Exactly Do you think the people haunt do you think the people that do the boat tours in Pearl Harbor thankful for the Japanese for having a job? I mean so fucked up because I mean mean, the Arizona's down there. The USS Arizona, whatever the fuck it's called. Yeah, one of the ships. The ships is down there, and like people take both tours. And it's probably expensive.

It's poor holder for God's sake. I heard it. So you think they're like, yo, that's amazing. The museum is like on top of it, and the floor is see-through. And you think the people over there, like, yo, think of the Japanese bone, is thing? I don't think anyone's thanking them for that. I think those people would have found,

and dofully, they would have been doodly employed elsewhere if it was not for the Japanese. You said doodly. Boy. I just saw myself in the reflection, and I was like, you're gonna kiss yourself? No, but. That was a wet one though.

That sucks. You can see my lip prints. You don't lip prints are as unique as fingerprints and iris prints. Iris prints? What is iris prints? You could take like a fingerprint of your iris. It's, I think it's actually even statistically

more unique than a fingerprint. Oh, is that why I go to the airport? I have clear so I go and I scan my eyes. Probably, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same with lips, ears, cheeks. Lips are unique? I believe the lip prints are unique, yeah.

So why don't I get arrested and kiss anything? Well, don't do that. Well, no, you get arrested and then you gotta... Because the fingerprints are just like an easy thing. I know, but why is they put some stuff in my lips and I kiss the paper? It easy way. I never would if they put some stuff in my lips and I kissed the paper. It's you. I'm fucked up.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm having good. Oh, I'm fucked up. I'm being good. Well, I didn't bring my sleeping bag, but I did Uber here. Oh, my car's in the shop. Maybe they'll get hit on,
