Welcome back to the Basement Yard.
I'm kind of excited for this episode because
the wildest shit happened two days ago.
Well, not the wildest shit. I don't want to hype you up,
but some crazy shit happened.
A UFO flew over Los Angeles
and people got on a video and it looks sick.
It looks awesome.
Jenna Marlowe's boyfriend Julian
posted it on YouTube.
If you want to watch the video, it's called
Massive Blue UFO Over Los Angeles.
Dude, this shit is crazy.
It's like
it's like a
thing of light, right? It looks like a
star, like a big star and it's kind of moving
across the sky and there's a couple of people
who are like, what is
what is that?
There's always one guy in these videos that's always asking
the same question over again.
What is that?
But what is it?
Dude, I don't fucking know. Shut up.
But anyway,
so it's moving across the sky and then all of a sudden
it starts emitting this blue
light and like these
these like
force fields it looks like.
Dude, I can't even explain it
because I don't even know what it is. I've never seen shit like this.
You know what I mean? I'm not prepared.
But it's like
shooting out these blue
circles of light and it looks
insane.
It's wild. You gotta watch it.
I don't know if this is way cooler to me
than it is to you, but
this is wild shit happening in front of our faces.
But anyway, so he posted this on YouTube.
It's got 5.4 million views
and obviously other people in L.A.
saw it so they recorded it and they threw it up
on Twitter and social media.
And then the government goes
ah
no, no, no, we were
shooting missiles. It's missile practice. It's not an alien.
What? You're fucking lying.
Dude, are you kidding me?
I've played every Call of Duty that's ever come out.
Zero missiles look like that.
I know what missiles look like, dude.
I play the game, okay?
I've seen Saving Private Ryan.
I've seen Fury. I know what missiles look like.
They don't look like that.
Not at all. Why are you lying to us?
I don't understand.
What's the point of that?
Why don't they want us to
know aliens? Like, I don't think aliens have ever hurt us.
You know what I mean?
I've never like, there's never been like a
crazy attack.
You know, like a city burn to the ground
because aliens were shooting at it.
Like some Star Wars shit.
That's never happened. So why are we keeping this a secret?
Why are you keeping the aliens to yourself?
I want to hang out with an alien.
I mean, I think it's a UFO.
I really do. I think it's aliens.
If you're one of those people that's like, dude,
aliens don't exist, you're a fucking idiot.
Dude, do you know how big the galaxy
and the universe is? You think
we're the only things that are living?
Wow.
You're an idiot. Come on.
The redneck guys were telling the truth.
You know those redneck guys that like,
they have like a crazy story.
You ever see the history channel where it's like a redneck?
It's always a redneck guy who's got like a
mustache and like a mullet.
And you're like, dude, why is this guy even on TV?
Then he goes, uh, he goes,
yeah, I want that. I went out there.
You know, my horses were making a lot of noise.
It was a ruckus.
And I went out there and I seen a
spaceship.
And I just seen this right a lot.
And I went over to it and they sucked me up
into the ship.
And then before I knew it, I was on a table
and there were eight aliens around me,
all naked. And then one of them
put their hand in my ass and they were
all studying me and touching me.
It's like, dude, what?
Aliens came and put a finger
in your ass?
I always felt like that. Like, dude, why you?
Why would they come to like
the middle of Nebraska
and take this guy
and put a, why the finger in the ass also?
Why, like the probing
thing? I don't get that at all.
I think they're just putting a finger in people's ass
just to like mess with them. That's what I think.
I think aliens are hilarious
and they're like, they're studying us, but they're also like,
hey, let's just put a finger in this guy's ass
and maybe he'll think we're, that's part of the
process, but it's not. Like, they're just
fingering dudes for no reason. It's wild.
But dude, the redneck guys are telling the truth.
The aliens are here. You know what I mean?
And they're probing, which is terrifying.
Okay? So what's happening is that
aliens are coming here.
All right? They're gonna get here.
They obviously don't care that we know
that we're, they're here anymore. You remember when UFO
sightings were quick? They were like five seconds
max and the thing would disappear?
This thing's like two and a half minutes
or three minutes that you see him.
Now they don't even care. They're like, dude, fuck it.
We're here. I don't care. I'm not gonna hide.
All right? We're, we're here.
You know what's gonna happen now? They're gonna probe
everyone.
Hide your fucking assholes
because the aliens are probing us.
All right? I'm duct taping my ass every
day from here on out. Wake up in the
morning, brush my teeth, get the duct
tape, duct tape my ass.
Nothing's going in this ass.
Not at all.
Um, so yeah.
What the fuck's wrong with me, man?
I really don't know.
Um, but yeah, the government, yeah,
it's a missile. I'm sure it is.
You fucking idiots. Like, how dumb do they
think we are?
Oh, man. And the election.
Oh, God. Jeb Bush.
Speaking of Jeb Bush, um,
I saw this thing on Twitter.
Dude, first of all, your name's Jeb, right?
I mean, that's obviously not his real name.
I looked up his real name. His name is, uh, John
Ellis Bush. So that's the
Jeb.
Which is just a dumb nickname. I'm sorry, man.
Jeb, that's terrible.
Anyway, uh, so Huffington Post
reporters, they asked him
if he would be willing to kill the child
who eventually grew up to orchestrate the
Holocaust, which is fucking
Hitler, if you couldn't figure that out.
Alright? And he goes, hell
yeah, I would. You gotta step up, man.
What?
First of all,
why are we asking this guy
those questions?
Why, like,
why are we asking him that?
Like, hey, Jeb, forget
about unemployment, gun control,
uh, fuck
Mary kill,
Oprah, Barba Walters,
and Rihanna, go.
Right?
I'm surprised he answered that question, first of
all, because there's no right answer
to that question. Cause if you say
you're gonna kill baby Hitler, then you're
like, oh what? You killed babies
and this guy's pro-abortion
and you know, it's like a whole other thing.
You know what I mean? But if you say
oh no, I wouldn't do that,
then you're like, what? You want the holocaust
to happen? You hate Jews and
it's a trap, trap question,
and you fell for it, Jeb.
Next time you don't fucking answer, Jeb.
Don't be stupid.
Jeb.
I don't know what it is, but this year,
this election, I guess it's because social media,
I don't know if
it's just progression, and this is how things
are gonna be now, or if it's just
dumb, I don't know.
But, uh, it's just weird to see
all these politicians on social media.
Like you saw, like there's been
back and forth between
Donald Trump. I'm not even gonna call
him a politician. He's just a rich guy
who like, got bored and was like, hey
I'm gonna try doing
this now, you know?
That's like me, if I'm like, oh I'm gonna
be a painter now, and I just like, bought
a bunch of paint, and we're just like, oh
it's the same thing.
Dude, you bought a campaign cause you're rich.
And that's it.
That's all you did.
Like, I can buy the paint. That doesn't mean I'm a painter.
You could buy a campaign. It doesn't mean
you're a politician, or a candidate
for that matter. Anyway.
But on social media, you see the back and forth
with all these people. And it's like, dude
what the f- like, you know what I mean?
It's like Jeb and Hillary were like going
back and forth. I think it was them
too. I don't really know anything about politics.
I know that this looks ridiculous
uh, if you're not
from this country, and you're like, what are all these politicians
going back and forth on social media for?
It's like, dude, you're not running for class
president. It's the president of the
United States.
Can you f- can you f- get off twitter
and stop with the sub-tweets and hashtags?
Jesus. Go pass
a bill.
And these are the people that we have sign our
babies. I never got that shit either.
Or anyone for that matter, especially politicians.
Eh, sign my baby.
Dude, it's a baby.
Dude, oh my god.
If you work for Child Services
it's- that's an easy
target. Oh, ma'am
you let f- Obama sign your baby?
Thank you. We'll take that baby.
Why are you letting anyone
sign your baby?
Like
what is the thought process there?
If anything, let the guy
sign your stupid f- head
and leave the baby alone. Maybe the baby
doesn't even like Obama.
You know? Give him a chance.
Let the baby read up on his
policies. And let him make a decision.
Okay? Just because
you like Obama doesn't mean your baby likes
Obama. So get the f-ing signature
off and write it across your
dumb head. Okay?
Or anyone, really. Hey
sign my forehead.
Why?
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Dude, I don't know how people sign up
to be president. Like
in my mind, that would be
one of the last things I would do.
Like, why would you ever
dream of running for president?
I feel like everyone wants that job
until they get it. And they're like, oh god
this f-ing
sucks. It's 24-7
you're the president, right?
Everyone's out to kill you. You know?
There's a bunch of people who want you dead.
You know, half of the country doesn't want
you in there to begin with.
They don't like you as the president.
Everything you do is wrong to someone.
And you can never stop being a president.
You know what I mean?
You can go into work, and you're a cashier.
But that's only for
until 5 o'clock.
After 5 o'clock, you're not a cashier.
You're just
regular Joe, you know? Obama
does not check out.
He lives in the goddamn
White House. He's under
watched always. He's never
not the president. He's always the president.
That sucks.
You can't have like a conversation.
And then he went to the bulls game.
Right?
And people were like, dude, what's this guy doing at the bulls game?
Shouldn't you be like
working and like
passing law? I'm like
contradicting myself from what I said earlier.
But I was just being funny.
But seriously, when people get upset at Obama
because he's doing like regular shit, like I remember he posted
like someone posted a picture of him like playing basketball
outside the White House. It's like, oh, what is this guy doing?
Yeah, dude, who's
signing up to be president? Don't be, don't, don't do that.
You know?
Don't be, just be like a senator or something.
Or whatever. Or like go to
Canada and do, uh,
what's that guy, Rob Ford? He like does a bunch
of crack in whatever office he
holds. Like do something like that.
Something like, you know, you get some leeway.
President though, you can't do a goddamn thing.
You do Saturday Night Live,
that's fun. But other than that
sucks.
I wouldn't even be class president of like
high school. I got to organize the prom now.
Like, dude, fuck you.
Organize your own prom. Whatever, man.
I don't know. Also, it's
crazy that, uh,
this morning in New York City,
Penn Station, which is, if you don't know,
it's like right next to MSG,
it's tons of people
coming in and out of there,
um, every morning.
This morning, a gunman
shot
three people, I believe. He killed one and then
hurt the other two.
Uh,
and just,
what's going on, man? So yeah, the guy
shot three people. One died.
Two of them, other ones got
shot in like the leg and the neck.
But Jesus Christ, in Penn Station,
you know how many people could have got hurt then?
It's packed in the mornings, man.
Packed and happened during rush hour.
Apparently the guys were
uh, from the methadone clinic.
It's like
it's like drug rehab.
Dude, why do these people have guns?
Why do they, how do they get guns?
How do they do that?
Oh my God.
I don't know how it is.
You know, I don't really know. But I know that
in some places in the country, you can go to Walmart
and be like, let me get that gun right there. Looks pretty sick.
And they give you a gun.
That's wrong, no?
I mean, I don't know anything about gun control.
I don't know. I really don't know anything.
Don't go crazy in the comments.
I do know
that
you shouldn't be able to buy a gun in the same place
that you buy
a fucking pair of jeans for four bucks.
I know that.
Okay? That's all I know.
We have the right to bear arms.
I know we have the right to bear arms.
But if we haven't exercised that right
correctly yet,
then maybe we should, you know, think about
something.
You know, a little change. I don't know. I don't know what the answer is.
I know that what's happening now
doesn't work.
I forgot who, but someone was like
with these school shootings, right?
Which are terrible.
But some fucking politician goes
hey, you know what
could stop school shootings if we arm the teachers?
What?
Are you fucking crazy?
You want to give guns to these teachers?
Dude,
no fucking way.
You know how many of my teachers would have shot me dead?
Three
off the top of my head. I'm not even thinking hard.
Three I would have known would have
shot me.
Three would have shot me.
Not to mention that
there was a story that came out the other day
that a kid like beat the shit out of his teacher.
These kids are insane.
Animals.
Punch an old teacher in the face.
You're crazy.
Now imagine that teacher had a gun.
The kid punches you in the face.
The guy shoots the kid.
Because his life is in danger or whatever.
And
now we're in a whole new thing.
Now a kid gets shot in school.
Now school is not safe.
The streets aren't safe. School is not safe.
Where the fuck is safe?
Now where?
Arm the teachers. That's probably the worst idea ever.
Dude, not to mention
a teacher is not...
So what does that mean?
That teachers need
shooting practice?
That's part of the job description now?
Yeah, here's your textbook.
And, you know,
make sure you get five hours in a week
at the gun range.
So you know if a student acts out
or if a guy runs in here with a gun
you could just shoot him through the chest.
Dude, what a dumbest idea.
Whoever said that? God.
You are never...
I hope you never ever
get to make a decision ever.
Anything. I don't even care.
I hope someone gets to pick out what you wear every day.
I don't even want to make that decision.
Arm the teachers.
That guy should be punched right in the neck.
Punch him in the neck
and just be through with it.
But seriously, dude, if we...
We have the right to bear arms. Yes, I know.
Do not kill me.
But what I'm saying is
the wrong people are getting guns.
I don't know how,
but I know the answer isn't,
give everyone guns and have gun fights.
If the wrong people have guns
they're gonna shoot people.
Giving other people guns
isn't gonna
help that.
People are gonna die. You know what we should do?
We should eliminate guns altogether
and give everyone swords.
That's what we should do. That's the answer.
I should run for president, man.
Everyone get rid of every gun
ever.
No guns at all.
No one has guns. Everyone has a sword.
And you just
get good. If you want to be a cop
you gotta be like a master swordsman.
You know what I mean?
You gotta be like Zorro.
So like Zorro would be a cop
and you're gonna pick a fight with Zorro
with a sword? Dude, you're not gonna win.
He's Zorro, but that's what should happen.
Everyone should get swords and if you want to kill someone
you gotta earn it.
It's gonna be a fight to the death
and it's gonna be fair.
That's the answer. Sword fighting.
But yeah, I don't know. Let's talk
about something else, man. I don't know.
I've recently become obsessed with Snapchat
because of these like filters
they got. God, what a good idea.
Snapchat was getting old. You're like oh I could
just take pictures and draw on them. Like this is fun
but not really.
It's starting to fall off and all of a sudden they throw
these filters at you that you could like
turn yourself into a werewolf.
You're throwing up rainbows.
You're a skeleton.
It's wild. Dude, if you don't have
Snapchat, get it. Alright?
Cause you're missing out.
It's the funniest thing in the world.
I spend like two hours a day
just staring at myself
with these filters and just laughing.
I swear, I'm not even kidding.
With these filters I just look, there's like
eight of them. Like eight new ones every day.
And I'm like a skeleton one day.
I'm laughing my ass off at it.
It's so funny. If you have a Snapchat
you know
you know what I'm talking about. If you don't have a Snapchat
download that shit. Also
if you want to follow me on Snapchat
it's my name. It's Joe Sanagato
so you can follow me on that.
What a plug. What a
fucking plug that was, huh?
I hate myself man.
I hate people who do that.
I do it so much too. I just
it's part of the game. It's part of it.
I have to.
You gotta follow me.
It's a weird thing.
That's the complete opposite
of what our parents taught us when we were younger.
Don't talk to strangers. Dude, I'm talking
to strangers every fucking day
on this computer. Every day.
I don't know who they are.
I'm looking at strangers on Snapchat.
They're looking at me. It's the fucking
weirdest thing when you back up and think about it.
And now I'm begging people to follow me.
What?
Who am I?
Dude, follow me.
And not just follow me here.
Follow me in four of the places too.
Follow me on fucking Instagram.
Stare at my pictures.
Follow me on Twitter.
Listen to what I have to say.
Follow me on fucking SoundCloud.
Listen to what I have to say also.
Dude, what am I doing?
This is such a weird thing.
I like doing it though.
I like talking to people. I like
when people
agree with my opinions.
I like when they disagree with them as well
as long as they have a good argument.
Because I hate people who are just like
Dude, no, you're gay.
I'm like, what?
Why?
I like when people have an argument.
You know what I mean? I'm like, hey, you know,
I don't know. Blue is the best color ever.
And someone goes, no, it's red
because blah blah blah. But there's other people who are
just like, no, you're gay.
Like what?
You're a fag.
My favorite color is blue?
My favorite color is black though.
I don't know, like
I don't like telling people that because they think I'm mad emo
if I tell them that. It's like, oh, my favorite color is black.
They're like, all right, fucking sicko.
Relax. Because I remember growing up
all the emo kids, their favorite color was black.
That was such a weird phase
that people went through. You remember MySpace?
People listening to this like, oh shit, why do you have to bring this up?
But you remember on MySpace when everyone
had like a phase
where they were like
that emo, they were into like
screamo music or whatever.
Or maybe you were like one of those people
that dressed really hardcore but you like
really liked Fallout Boy for some reason
or like Avril Lavigne.
Like you had like eyeliner
and like fishnet like gloves
for like cut off gloves that are
fishnet. Like why the hell are you wearing that?
Or like chains all over your pants.
It's like
what? And you were like, was that called
scene? It was like a
scene phase or something?
And like you would dye your hair bleach blonde
and just
I don't know. I don't know if you're going to get this
or you can relate, but I remember
a certain pose that these girls had.
I mean it was always like the camera
in the mirror with the flash
and you didn't see like anything except like
you know, half of their leg.
But I remember these emo girls
used to post pictures like
with, I'm trying to explain this.
They're palm facing up
like flexing all their fingers.
Like they're holding something, but they're not really holding something.
Like what the hell was that?
I don't know what that was.
Oh man, it was so weird.
I went through like a ghetto phase. I was never like a
scene kid.
Like my
my oldest brother and my sister
they liked
like that punk rock music
which I liked too because they played it all the time.
But I was super ghetto
in like middle school. I wore big
ass shirts that like
would not fit me now if I
would put them on. Like nothing
with a letter or a picture on them.
It was always just like plain shirts.
I had one pair of Jordans that like I
loved. Like I was on a basketball team
and I asked my dad to buy me Jordans.
They're like, they were $150 at the time.
He's like
you want these basketball
sneakers? And I'm like, yeah. So he gets
them for me, right?
The first game after I get them
I'm not wearing them
at the game. And he's like, why aren't you wearing
the new shoes that I just bought you for $150?
And I was like, oh, I don't want to mess them up.
He fucking looked
at me like he wanted to
punch me in the face, which he should
have, but he didn't. He was
like, they're basketball sneakers.
I'm like, dad, you don't get
it because you're not
cool.
But yeah.
I used to just wear him to school
and try not to crease him.
Dude, I was, oh god.
I cared about those sneakers more than I cared about my own
well-being.
I was like, dude, fuck it. I don't have to eat for three days.
But as long as these are clean.
How dumb is that?
Looking back.
Looking back, that's so fucking dumb.
Oh man.
But yeah, the emo kids, man, they were scary people.
I remember
I'm just talking.
I'm just generalizing. It's so funny.
These kids like
you would walk by them and they'd like bark at
you and shit.
No, but I really think there was like
at least one in every school.
There was one like emo kid
or scene, whatever the fuck you want to call him.
But they would like bark at you
or like they'd make weird noises
and you're like, dude, what is wrong with this kid?
You know?
Bark at you.
Oh my god, I'm losing it.
I was never like a bully either.
I don't want people to think that
that I was like bullying kids in the
stuff and people in lockers.
Not that I could anyway. I was tiny.
Like, I'm 5'10".
I weigh 175 pounds.
But
when I was younger, dude, I was tiny.
I was short and skinny as hell.
I was not bullying anyone even if I wanted to.
But I was not about that shit.
But it was just funny that
these are people that you notice in the halls.
Like those weird kids.
I remember in middle school there was this
one kid who
if you
talked badly about Star Wars
he would
freak out. I'm dead serious.
Like freak out.
Like he'd try to fight you.
Like scream and his face would turn red.
If you just want to talk about, yeah,
fuck Jar Jar Banks, he'd be like
what?
He would freak out and try to kill you.
Middle school was great.
It was very diverse. I live in Queens
so it's very diverse. You see everything.
You know, there's Indian people, Asian people,
there's
Black people, Spanish people,
a bunch of white people.
It's great.
Actually, you know, the only thing I wasn't exposed to
growing up was Jews.
Jewish people. Never saw, I don't know
any Jews. The only Jewish
people that I know
is that a bad thing to say Jews, by the way?
I don't know if that's derogatory if it is. I'm sorry, but
I just, I'm not trying to offend anyone.
But they are Jewish. But anyway,
so when I worked
at Elite Daily, that's when I met
my first Jewish people.
Because I don't know any Jewish people.
Those are the only ones
that I knew. There was a bunch of Jews
that worked there. But yeah, there was none
in my growing up, none in
my elementary school or middle school
or high school, because I went to a Catholic high school.
That would be very weird if there was a Jewish kid
in Catholic high school.
Oh, man.
But yeah,
speaking of high school, I missed my high school reunion.
It was a couple days ago.
It was on Saturday, I believe.
Yeah, I missed it.
I didn't miss it on purpose.
I just, like, didn't really know
it was happening.
So I didn't go.
And then some kid that
I'm still friends with hit me up and he's like,
Oh, you're too Hollywood for whatever.
And I was like, come on.
But he was kidding. But uh,
yeah, I didn't go there. I didn't really have
a ton of real friends
in high school. I don't want to make it seem like I was a loner.
I was on the football team
and I had a bunch of friends, but I just
didn't really hang out with them that much.
I don't think I went to any
parties in high school besides
a few my senior year.
I never
did any of that shit.
But, like, I was cool with them in school.
They all lived in different neighborhoods.
I wasn't, like, driving.
So I couldn't, like, really get there.
And I wasn't going to ask my mom to drive me
because she would have laughed in my face.
And I wasn't about to get on the bus
so I could drink Keystone Lights
in the park.
Keith, are you coming down the stairs?
All right, I'm here and shit.
There's ghosts in here, man.
The aliens are here. I thought I heard someone
coming down the stairs. Fucking aliens are here.
Oh god, we're dead. I'm dying.
I'm gonna die.
Um, anyway.
So that's all.
That's all I got. That's all I got for you guys, alright?
