Welcome back to the Welcome back to the basement yard. How's it going? Francis? I'm doing well. Ah Co. Francis Co. Don't don't do don't don't do that. I don't like that. I'm very I like my name, so I want you to make sure it's fucking proper. Francisco? Yeah. Does anyone call you that? I don't think anyone calls you that. Oh. Uh no. My my mom like w you know, the typical like when my mom was mad at me. She would say Francisco. She'd be like, Francisco.

I think I've heard your mom call you that. My mom also called me Cisco for a while, which you know in nineteen ninety nine I was pumped. Yeah,'cause you loved the thong song. Hold on. You loved it. Loved the thong song. Don't say that pointing fingers. The world loved the thong song. I didn't know what a thong was at that time, so I just liked it because it was a catchy tune. Frank, we knew what a thong was. You think in second grade we knew what a thong was?

Was that second grade? Yeah, nineteen ninety nine, the thong song. Probably. I don't think I knew what a thong song knew Lita. And we knew Lita had her thumb. thong hanging. Well Lita wasn't really popular until like two thousand one, Joey. At the time in nineteen ninety nine, if she was even there, she was with S.A. Rios, who was who she broke into the WWE, WWF at the time with.

Right. And then she joined in with the Hardy boys. Did I tell you? I didn't tell you, but I I recently watched The T S C match from WrestleMania seventeen. And Lita pops out, I totally forgot that she shows And I was like, Look at her, she's got her thong out. Oh yeah. Bro, that's all it took. Uh just a little piece of underwear. A little but the Dong Song was a it was an American it's an American state.

Yes. You know, he was in Cisco blew up. He was in movies. Remember there were other songs on that album too. I don't remember that. Yeah, people gonna make me unleash the dragon. You know, I don't really wanna unleash the dragon. He loved dragons, Cisco. I think he liked Cisco more than a lot of people. No. Oh sorry, Cisco. I mean oh Yeah, he might be watching. Is Cisco still around?

Of course he's around. Is his hair still silver? It's not. Can we pick up a blonde? I love how we're looking at the TV as if Anne thinks we're not asking him subtly. It's just anytime Frankie has a question or says anything or like goes like this He's asking you. I know, but also it's only like when we're looking up stuff. Like I just want to see a a l recent image of Cisco. Yeah, Cisco systems, by the way, Wi Fi, you fucking ruined an American staple.

Uh hip hop artist Sisko. Have you never heard of Sisko? I'm having trouble You've never heard of the Thong song? I've heard of that. I didn't know who sang it. You didn't know who so who'd you think sang it? God? N no, also not that. How'd you get there? Hip hop Cisco. You spell Cisco like an idiot. First of all, also, that's not Cisco. Yeah, who the fuck is this guy? Is that Clay Thompson in the first picture? I don't know who that is.

Type in the S I S Q O right I think so, yeah. I think there's a Q in there. Yep, yeah, yeah. Cisco giving me a thousand tries while they're gonna be a little bit more. Is that actually wait, if that's actually Cisco What the type in thong song Cisco twenty twenty five. If that's Cisco today. Why are you typing in love and hip hop? There he is. That's Cisco.

Oh, that's a Maybe he's off the map. Oh there he is. This is twenty-five. Wait, teams up with the New York Philharmonic guy? He didn't That can't be real. That can't be real. I don't even know what is that the philharmonic. It's like a like a group of like uh

Harmonica? No, but the but like they're like legit musicians. Like you've never heard of like the Philharmonic? They do like Oh, dude, you ever hear Cisco hit those notes? She's a legit musician. I know. WHA Hãy subscribe cho kênh La La School Để không bỏ lỡ những video hấp dẫn That's a great Is that Maya?

Is that Cisco? Frank, this is also an audio show. I think we should ditch the Cisco show. All right, all right, all right. I mean uh wherever Cisco may be, I hope In a good place. He's doing well and I hope he is surrounded by dong donk dongs. Right. You know? You loved you loved that though.

Who didn't? Don't sleep on Cisco. I'm not sleeping on Cisco. Don't sleep on Cisco. No, I'm saying like everyone liked the thong song. It was a very popular song. I feel like you liked it a little bit more. Like you were like, yo, I love thongs. Well, I think I I felt cool because I watched the like making remember when MTV was about music? And it used to do like the making of the video. Mm-hmm. And it was just like a twenty five minute video of Women in Tongs.

Of like we're we're making something groundbreaking here and it's like Cisco playing like the drums on a butt on the beach. Yeah. What's better than that? And uh and then at the end they'd be like the worldwide debut of the thong song video. And that shit came out and rocked my world as a little seven year old, let me tell you. Wow. Wow. I can't believe we were seven years old that came out. I felt like I was older.

Uh maybe maybe maybe because you were like reading Playboys at that age. I wasn't reading Playboys at seven, was I? There was the one in like that alleyway behind your house. Oh seven? I'm pretty sure we were seven years old when we were looking at that. First of all, no one's reading that. I was looking and analyzing. Mm-hmm. Okay, I just wanted to see a boob.

Then yeah, you probably did at that time. Weird. The things that you do, you know. That was a weird time. And then we've obviously told these stories before, but for people who don't know, new new viewers or whatever the case may be. There was a Playboy stuffed into the crack of an old garage at the top of my block that I would go and and ri I don't know how it got there. I think my neighbor put it there.

But we would go and be like, Oh and then we look at boobs and we shove it back into the crack. We we were very c we didn't want to take it. It was a communal playboy. It literally anyone else wanted to go and get their

There was an urban legend. Oh, there's a Playboy in the crack of the old uh garage at the top of the block and you can go get it. Like it was like being able to play with fossils of dinosaurs. And then around the block there was a the the payphone that I would call one eight hundred like

Boobs piss. Boobs piss. And then they would be like, Too many too many numbers, but you know what I mean. But it'd be like oh welcome to one eight hundred boobs and and you just heard a like a woman saying something we call we called one of those once on an episode where it was like one in hundred like should we call a hundred of them have we yeah and it's just like oh you wanna fucking do it y'all give me your credit card

And it's like, whoa, dude. 1-800 piss girl. That's how people in the eighties and early nineties used to get off. Phone sex? It was like they had like chat rooms for fucking phone calls. I'm sure that still exists. Is it like a big industry, like a phone sex operator?

I don't know. Bro, you used to spend a million hours a night with your girlfriends on the phone. You get it. We weren't doing fucking like we weren't talking I was talking about like, oh man, my fucking this chapter Catcher in the Rye really sucks. You think we were going you think we were doing like oh so like what are you wearing? And I'd be like Frank Scooby Doo boxers? Frank.

I don't know. I know that you've done No, I will tell you that like when I well yeah, when I got older. Yeah. But like when I was like at that age where it would be like we stay on the phone all night, it was not that. It was just like Let's just sleep and keep the phone there. Uh dunno. I think you'll lie. Why why would I have to lie about that? I don't know. When did you get a cell phone?

I was I could I was at least fifteen. I can tell you when that whole like stay up all night on the phone thing was, and I it was after I'd had the phone for a couple of years at that point. Phone sex No, I uh if we d I'll I'm I'm being very honest. You've never sex on the phone with words? Of course I have, of course I have That's all I'm saying. But I'm saying at the time that's not what the it was just for like

Uh comfort of just like you wanna you know, I just wanna know someone's there on the phone and like if I roll over and it's like you can hear someone is you know they're there. Breathing and snoring and stuff. And is looking at us like we're psychotic right now. You've never stayed up all night on the phone with your girlfriend? No, I have, I have. I just don't believe he didn't ask for like

Like a kiss or something? Oh of course I'd be like, give me a good night kiss. Yeah, and then he'd be like, That's not a good one, give me another one, something like that. Or dial three if you like me or some shit I don't I mean it's honestly it's not impossible, but I don't think that

You uh did you I know I'm acting like you're eleven, but like did you do that thing ever where you have your boy call another girl but on a three way but you're quiet to find out if she likes you? No. Bro, I th thir three way called He's twenty four years old. You think they were doing that at that time? Three way calls is a little bit more. How old are you? Twenty eight. Twenty four, exactly. Yeah, you're right. It's too far away.

go up the block and look at a porno in a cracked garage. Back as a child I probably shouldn't l l label it that way. But like the atrocities of the world were so out of our mindset. We didn't you know had a sight out of mind. We didn't care about all the way in Manhattan. All the way across the river. Yeah. But in Queens. But in Queens, all we cared about, baby?

Just a nice thing. Hell yeah. Is is Baba Lou who drives the ice cream truck coming around'cause I'm I want some ice cream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean listen, I don't know what was in that great white shark popsicle, but it was delicious. So I'll take a hundred of them. Yeah. No?

Okay. That sounded like a little crazy, right?'Cause we always talk about how we went into the ice cream truck Yeah, we and then you were like, Yo, I don't know what was in that great white popsicle but I I had a hundred. I mean Emory members great white shark popsicles. Those were w you like the crackest stuff. They were delicious. They were lemon.

You were you were they were actually. Those are much better than the the the Ninja Turtle ones that you love so FUCKY Oh no the Tweety Bird Also fuck you Wait, which one's gray? Bug Money Delicious, I still get it No, that one's the wackest one. No, no, no. They're all the same flavor, I think. The people that hate the episodes where we're screaming are a little upset at us.

Yeah, fuck you guys. We're talking about ice cream. We love you. No. I I th the the Ninja Turtles, they've butchered my boys. Old Ninja Turtles were huge. Can so many Explain how hard it could possibly be to put the gumball eyes in the right place. It's not it's not because a person is doing it, it's a machine. I know, but like what uh we don't care anymore.

I think yeah, probably. I think that they probably don't care anymore. I hate when I open it up and it's like, Oh, we got an eye here and an eye here. What is this? I mean, honestly, I am fully on board with just replacing those gumballs. They're not gum. I don't know what they are. It's dust. So just take them out entirely and just put something in there, you know, a blueberry flavored eyeball or something. Yeah, yeah. Or like the eyes in a in a rabbit, a chocolate bunny.

Those eyes are good. Oh, I thought you were an actual rabbit. Not an actual rabbit. And you went chocolate buddy. Question though. No. Do you remember back in the day where it was like uh your keychain, it was good luck to have a rabbit's foot? Yeah. That wasn't a rabbit's foot. Uh right?

I think it might have been, brother. A real rabbit's foot? I think it might have been. And also why is that good luck? That was so popular. I had one that was red. I had yeah, I had one too. Well yours is probably fake because rabbits are not red. I ha I remember they could diet.

Well i I mean maybe I mean Frank transition that originated from folklore, with some theory suggesting it might be linked to hand of glory, a severed hand of an hanged criminal which was believed to bring luck in European tradition. So this is what we were walking around with on our keys? Yeah. Type in a rabbit's foot keychain. We had these back in the day and uh it was like a cool thing to have in your keychain and my sister had a bunch it looked like that, dude. That was hanging off my keys.

Where were they just oh man. No, some of them look like they might have been.

The conviction. No no no. Some of them look like they were real, maybe, I don't know. Possibly. But yeah, see I had like a red one or a pink one. I had one of those, I had one of those too. Or I mean at some point, I don't remember exactly when I think I won one at a fair. Yeah, well fair listen, the amount of stuff that I had from fairs, they were giving out goldfish, rabbits feet.

Xboxes. They give out uh It was a low when the when the when the carnival or the fair or festival, whatever you guys called it, feast some places called it. rolled into town and that was a lawless section of the t community at that point in time. My mom hated that because me and Keith would come home with some animal and she'd be like, I'm what am I doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Came home with a with a hermit crab.

That sucks, dude. Named it Miss Crabtree, and Keith wanted it to like run around and like open the thing and then it it just ran away. How fast could it have been gotten away? Yo, honestly, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe my mom just fucking tossed it. I was gonna say these things. Have you seen a hermit crab how fast they move? They're pretty slow, bro. Like I owned one. Okay. Then you should know that it was probably bullshit from the start. Well, Mrs. Crabtree Frank, I was a child.

Top speed four inches per second. That's what Joe measures in. First of all, that's very fast. Four inches per second? One. Two. Three. Whoa, dude, four inches is not a good one. I think four inches is like Probably, right? I something like that. Yeah. Yeah, no. Huh. Yeah, no, your mom probably got rid of that thing and crushed it in the back alleyway or something. I didn't even tell you. I had a dream about you.

Yeah, no, it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't bad either. Oh. You were just in it. Okay. Nothing crazy. Okay. Uh we were in a car. So that means you're thinking about me. I think so. Okay. Well let me tell the story. Okay. But we were in a car and I was in the back seat.

I don't remember if there was anyone driving, but you were sitting in the passenger seat. Okay. And then I was just going I was trying to talk. But I couldn't. Oh no. Like I was like I m what I'm trying to talk. Oh, what were you trying to say? I was trying to get your attention so that you'd shake me and I'd wake up. Okay. So I was going

Frank! I hate that part. But you wouldn't hear me. Oh no. Because eventually I'd get it out, but it would be so low. So then the next time I try to yell, but it would be like No no You never fucked up uh now if I am a dream expert, um are you? I I right now it sounds like it. I think this this sounds like there might be something that you want to talk to me about, but you may not feel What's up?

Oh, uh well of that I don't know. But uh that sounds like a good explanation. Has there been something on your mind? Do you want to air it we'll air it out right here in front of just me and you and whoever's watching? Yeah. What is it? I don't know. I hate that when it's just like or like the one it's like you throw a punch and it's like Bro, I Or like you eventually throw it and it's like oh this is so s it's not gonna hurt anybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the worst feeling.

Uh huh. Well if you want to talk to me, brother, you're I'm all ears. I don't really have it. Oh you got nothing out. Right. Okay Speaking of dreams, I saw this thing, and by I I mean ant. And it's a collection of twenty-four different By the way, I couldn't even have told you twenty four different ways to sleep. Yeah, I didn't. And uh I mean I think we know what yours is, Joey. Your Joey's sleeping in ten. Uh I do not sleep. Can I guess how you sleep and you guess how I sleep? Alright.

I'm gonna guess that you sleep. I already see mine and I know you're not gonna get it. I think this one's a thumb. I would say twenty two. That's how you sleep. No, no, honestly. No close. I'm a twenty one. Definitely a twenty one. What? It looks like you're in the middle of throwing a curveball. No no no that's what I do. I bring I bring my my leg all the w one leg all the way up, one down, I like to stretch it out so there's like a real difference between my legs.

I like that too. And then I I pull one arm under the pillow and I bring it close to me, and the other one stays like right here or right here. Alright here you know, something something in this area. Gotcha. Who is who in God's name is ten, if not you? I don't know. That is that is like a crazy way to sleep. Um I I think'cause I've watched you sleep a lot lately, I would say that you're probably What?

I'm kidding. Um I would say knowing you, you're probably I don't hate uh three. I don't hate it. I three. Not all the time. I see a done three. I see a three. I see a three. I also see a seventeen. I was gonna say 17. I told ya. The only thing is Ten is you've been through and seen some stuff. Seventeen I do, but I would th I I think mostly I'm like a six. Like a two

Two is pretty standard. That's I I would imagine. Do you have what's your what's your like fall asleep side? Because everyone has one side that they saw asleep. I s I sleep on my right side. Okay. Or on my back. Oh no. I always wake up on my back. So like thirteen? What is wrong with you? No, I don't wake up with my hands on my side. But I'll tell you this, when I go on trips

And I usually share a room with Espo. He fucking sleeps like that. Like he's in a coffin. Yeah, he does. He always doesn't move. And he's like, I think I'll go to sleep now. Yeah, he always And I'm up. I don't know who sleeps like five except for toddlers. That looks like you got

When you sleep, do you have an arm underneath the pillow? Yes. At all times? Yeah. Doesn't your arm fall asleep? No. Your arm never falls asleep. Sometimes it does, but not always. How do you how do you get the blood back in your arm if it falls asleep?

You just shake it. I shake it and I watch I look at it. You can look at it. Bro, look at it. You can feel it. Looking at your hand when it's asleep, my brain is just like, I know it's my hand, but I can't feel that it's there, so whose hand is this? You like it? I love it. A little bit. When my arms I hang it off of the bed. So that it's like I could feel the blood just like lubing up. Uh uh like l coming back to life. Jesus, you're horny. No, it's like f it's like filling up my arm.

And I was like, Oh, and now I can move And now you can what throw an old timey punch? What the hell was that? No, I'm just like getting the whole movement back I could sock it to you right now. It is weird to feel like I can't make a fist. I love whenever seriously, like whenever my hand falls asleep, I look at it and I'm just like, What is this? You know what I mean? Like I know it's my hand, but I guess just the way that my brain works. It just it can't compute that it's my

You ever try to hurt yourself? Well that's not what I w I know what you're talking about. But like I I've had like my hands asleep and I bite my hand. Oh, I would just do a pinch. I don't bite it. I'm not a bite. I do a little bite. I remember wouldn't you be f afraid? No. I remember when when we were kids Uh, we'd be at the lake house. Uh bringing up Espo. His brother, he would I don't know how'cause oh, I remember how. He would always sit

Crisscross applesauce style and play video games and he would sit for so long that his le one of his legs would fall asleep. And I vividly remember this kid standing up. And taking one of his legs and hitting the wall as hard as he could because his foot just had no feeling in it. It was the craziest thing. That is weird. Yeah, it was pretty nuts. But

Yeah what did you call it? Sixteen's kinda crazy, putting the pillow over your face. I have done that too. I know I have done that too. I do that only but like it needs to be a pillow sandwich. And it needs to be cold pillow sandwich. I need to be the meat in this pillow. Right. You know? I only do that if like it's very sunny in the room. I also do you sleep with a sleep mask? No.

I might wanna start doing that. Give it a shot. I mean I'm sure there are companies now that are gonna see this and be like, We need we need Joe, we need him for sleep. Would you do it? Yeah, but like I don't I don't I'm I I'm I don't feel a specific way about it. Do you wear pajamas? Pajamas? Sometimes. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. What are your pajamas? Um

It d it really depends. Like I have like pajama pants. So you wear like Star Wars pants? See you know this is a usually what you're doing. This is a very leading presumptuous question. No, I'm I'm asking. No, I don't have any Star Wars. So what do they look like? I do have a pair of Ninja Turtles ones. I do have a pair of Why are you getting angry at me if this is what you

Because the the way that you just assumed that I had to Well I asked you a question and you're like, It depends. So I'm trying to get you to do that. I have like the classic pajama pants. It's like the plaid Plaid. White family on Christmas. Is that what you're doing? We have like pajamas, like sets for the jet like a shirts that's a little bit more than a fucking you know like Archie Bunker. Yeah. You know, with like a button up

You know, I don't like that's too much for me. But I have pajama pants. I also sleep. I don't know. Do you do this? How many pills are you sleeping? And I'm not meaning like on your head two. Okay. How? Uh So they're stacked, but it doesn't hurt your neck, brother? Uh yeah, but so that's the thing. Like I f well, if I'm like sleeping on my back Yeah like Nash Ratha. They're kind of stacked that way. But then eventually I just have like a

Uh one of them is just by itself and I'm laying on that when I wake up. Okay, so I sleep with a pillow here and then I I do a perpendicular pillow that I that I kind of like put my leg over and I grab something. Put your leg around it. Oh yeah. Do you and Becca sleep Yeah. Opposite ways. Yeah, pretty much. I mean I I'll she is like like pull that pull that image up one more time. It's right there. She is a full on like she will sleep like I'm trying to find it sh like eight.

She is out. Jesus. She is out, brother. She like face down. Out cold when she sleeps. Okay. I am a little more like I I like to like I have like my whole setup. You like a little you have a little I used to sleep with like a ton of pillows. I used to have a body pillow. Loved that. I have a like a king size pillow that kind of has taken that place. Pillows come in sizes? Yeah, of course I do. What's a king sized pillow? A longer pillow?

Oh, it's like this? Yeah, because king size beds you need longer. So like a standard pillow is like this, a king size is like you know. You would put that between your legs. I put it between my legs and like it like so like I have something to like wrap around. You know?You're a cuddly little guy.Oh yeah.But like I fought like Beck and I will fall asleep holding each other, but then like once we're asleep

It's you know, time to sleep. We turn around and we do our thing, you know? Right. Then it's a pillow's turn. I love all these people that are just like like oh me and my couple, we cuddle all night and it's like n shut the fuck No, you don't. Too hot. Not only too hot, but just like you sleep well as an individual.

Maybe, you know. Like I understand like I'll roll over and like I'll put my arm on Becca and like you know, like something like that, but like the people that hold each other and fall asleep. I don't think anyone really does that besides those old people in Titanic who ended up dying. You know who those people were? No. Those were the Macy's people. Everything seemed to turn out fine for them. Well no, they die. Yeah, but they're

Yeah, but they were they were like you heard have you heard about this? So that movie in the movie. In the movie th Titanic. Those were that movie that moment in the movie where it's like the old man is lying on the bed with his wife and they're crying as the water's filling up, heartbreaking. Can we talk about that though for a second? Get out. Get up. Give it a shot. Try. Get out. That's water is pouring into this room. You don't try? Yeah. Like I know it's like a noble thing.

Noble. You're not the captain. Dude, I know. Well, then that was crazy. But yeah, so that moment in the movie, it was the co owners of Macy's. Wow. Him and his wife I'd uh uh uh died on the ship when it sank in nineteen twelve. So that's what that was. Damn, AC. If only they had seen what happens to their store. Right. There's a big one. There's I think that was the one and then it built out from there. Wasn't that the original Macy's? The one in New York Is that the big ass one? I believe so.

It's it's a massive one. Did they see when was the what was the first if it's the first one? Did they ever see did they ever see the parade? Bro, if they never saw their own parade, that's crazy. The Macy's Day Parade? Thanksgiving Day Parade. I mean they just sponsor it. It's not like their parade. No dude, it's their parade. W so those are their th they blow those up? I don't know if they're blowing them up, but like they

It's their parade. Like this is your studio and I am my own individual. You don't own me, pitch. But it like City Field isn't like cities fields like thing. They're that's an interchangeable thing. That's like a sponsor. You know what I mean? I'm just different though. I'm I'm very well versed in parades. I'm Are ya?

Yeah. I would like to be in the fucking parade. What do we got? Absolutely not, dude. You don't want to be in the parade? You want to wake up at two AM and start walking Two AM? Bro, they start prepping that shit in the wee hours of the morn. We're not If you're gonna be in the parade, how are you gonna be in the parade? Perform? I just wanna wave. You gotta do that stuff. Like you need to get there early, dude. No, not 2 a.m. Yes. No. Do you think I'm an idiot? Yes. Frank, look at me. In sync.

that's performing at the Macy's Day Thanksgiving parade isn't up at two AM Rehearsing with the people blowing up the balloons. They might be. Honestly, they might they might be as insane. They might be. It doesn't even make sense to do that. Why? Because the parade isn't until eleven. No, the parade starts at eight AM, Joey.

Santa doesn't come until twelve. Yeah, he comes at the end because he's the big attraction. Exactly. But they have to do the whole thing. I know people. Point's insane. Even if it's 8 a.m. You better stop. Six hours. You better cut it out. Because now you're wrong. I know people No, I know people that have done Do you know parade people? Yes, I know people because you could volunteer 8 30 AM. Okay.

I know first of all, crazy that's what they use to promote it. What the hell is even that? Terrifying. Is that from Outlanders? I I it might be. Yeah. I don't even know what that is. Don't tell'em. Um I Don't tell him he really wants to know. I know people so you can volunteer to be a person that holds the balloons. That's so different than a performer.

If anything, that's w those people would need to be there later than the performers. If i wait, volunteers are holding the balloons? Yeah. Yo, that's crazy. That's a big responsibility. Bro, and it they're big balloons. Bro, what if you just as A crew let go of it? Just let it go. It's crazy. They're driven by trucks. Trucks are driven by members of the union, but like the people that are walking, you can you can sign up to do it. Oh we're I'm

Yeah, you are. The the strings are probably bullshit. Mm I don't think those people are holding them down. That says to they're towed by trucks. That makes way more sense. So I think it's like trucks and then there are people that are literally holding a string and they're waving.

Yeah, yeah. But I think that's more for show than anything. It's not like you could like let it go. Maybe I don't know the inner workings of the balloon management at the Thanksgiving day. Really?'Cause you seem to know the itinerary. I mean Yeah. So I know people that have done it and they're like, Oh, it's three A. M. I have to be on the west side of uh fucking uh

Central Park'cause they're blowing up all the balloons now. Yeah. Him and Justin Timberlake are over there. He's warming up his vocals. He's holding the string. I think that you are vastly misguided.

And that's the joke. First of all, you've been in Hooters way more times than I have. I just I'm well, first of all, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Hooters. Hooters. Oh no, I'm not. You you love Hooters. I first of all love is a strong word. You're one of those guys who walks in too. You're like, give me the atomic one. Yep. Yeah, I was. Absolutely I was. I mean hot sauce is hot sauce, bitch.

If anyone has ever gotten anything other than chicken wings at Hooters Crazy, right? Shrimp. What? I I yeah I don't think I've ever gotten anything other than chicken wine.

Like forget about even burgers, like it's crazy to me. Who goes to Hooters and is just like let me get a burger? Yeah, no, you gotta get the wings. Um well uh right now it doesn't look like you're gonna be able to get anything because I wanted to check in because apparently they filed. Are you okay? I'm good. What does what does I just realized. That the O's are owl eyes.

Oh, I was gonna say they look like boobs. Oh well maybe that too, but also they're the eyes of the owl. Right. No, that I knew the Hooter's mascot. Yeah, it was not the women being objectified for your money. It's an owl, brother. No no no.

That's of course what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, we know that. Do you remember when we were younger it was like, Oh no, it's fine now like this was progression back in the day. It was like, No, it's fine. We don't uh the gr you don't even need big tits to work here anymore. Yeah.

As long as you're willing to wear the underwear that's riding in your ass, we don't care how big your tits are. Also, I think at a time didn't they And this is funny that I know this, but like I think that they like it was the the the the women that worked there wore short shorts. Yeah. And then they added like leggings to it.

Oh I like brown leggings? Well like yeah they were like nude uh like nude colored leggings or something like that. I'm sure we have at the time. You think in two thousand and eight they were that progressive where they were just like, you know what, ladies? Put some leggings. Hooters is gonna throw your bone here. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to speak ill of the establishment Hooters. We don't know It's because you love it so No, no. You love Hooters. I'm just saying.

We are so far one for one with Successfully reviving a popular restaurant changing. One for one for taking credit for sure. I mean, if it's the American way, that's the way I'm gonna do it. That's taking credit for something you talk about once on a podcast.

What does bankruptcy really mean? It means they start liquidating their assets and figuring out ways to stop losing as much money as they are spending. I know, but that doesn't mean that like they're going away. I know. So there's different types. There's different like filing there's different chapters.

I believe. I remember looking this up when I was looking up like Chapter eleven. Chapter eleven is just like we are not like going away completely, but like we're gonna start restructuring pay all our bills. Well bro, look at Red Lobster. They're doing well. They're kind of a success story thanks to us. Not their new CEO. Not that.

Yeah, not the progressive news CEO that's like trying to find ways to like so chapter seven, discharge in chapter seven, releases debt debtors from their personal debts, whatever. What's eleven? Why do they not have the most coolest type? Eleven. Oh, it's a repayment plan. So a seven is is like wait, yeah, I yeah, I don't know.

Whatever dude. Bankruptcy. Yeah. So do we do we commit to helping Hooters or like you'd love that. Let's go get atomic wings. No it's not even spicy. Listen, my time at Hooters is long gone. I haven't been to one since like twenty sixteen. That's not that long ago. I mean maybe honestly probably before that. Maybe like twenty Now that we left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Twenty fourteen. Those two years are massive for me. Um, I think the last time that I went I was with you.

I've only been to Hooters like twice. Uh, I've been uh several times and I think I've told this because my fraternity used to do an event at Hooters. Right. It was all you can eat wings and it was like you thinking of rushing? Come hang out with a bunch of guys Eating wings, eating at Hooters.

Where we were supposed to get married, they had built into the walls, they had beer tabs. Hmm. That sounds pretty cool too.

Where they're just like sharks are big puppies, watch this and there's a great ride and they like put their hand on its nose and flips it upside down and like scratches its belly and shit like that. Apparently it is real. Yeah, but Yeah, but I don't I don't I would love to see

I'm I'm riding a wave right now, so Okay. Do I quit while I'm ahead? I don't know what you're saying. For a San Agato Studios video. Here we go. We get someone like like a Tai Chi master in here to do those moves on us. Because I also know someone I'd be so embarrassed. I also know someone that was um went to school for massage therapy and they were just like, Oh yeah, no, like there are parts of your body that if I touch you'll like shit your pain.

I I'm not kidding. This is what this person told me. I've not asked them to ex like go for it. I'm I'm I'm open to that being real. I would need to experience that. Fill my pants. Fill your shitty pants. I would that would be unbelievable. And you've been wearing bigger, more looser pants now, so you could probably fill a lot of crap. A lot more crap. A lot more crap. Not only that, but I would argue that's cooler. Then like a card trip.

Well yeah,'cause one of this make it's being done to your body. Bro. This is a great thing. Get like an ex Navy SEAL and just have'em be like, come up to the crowd, I need a I need a uh volunteer and just make them shit their pants. That would be so awesome. Can you imagine that? I think it's possible and I'll go one step probable.

If we had a guy in here who was like, if I touch a part of your neck, you will shit your pants. Are you letting him touch it? Not me, not me. No, no, no. Really? I don't need to What if I got you pants? I I don't care what you get me. It's not first of all, there's no shower in here. Okay, but all those questions are answered. You can get me whatever you want. What it would do to my like confidence. To shit your pants? Yeah, brother. I don't think I'd come back from that. Why?

Sure, an adult man shitting his pants on the internet is is is we don't have to post it. I'll just talk about it. Worse. Would you would you let him make you shit your pants? Sure. But he would have to teach me how to do it. Uh you can't good magician never reveal their secrets. That's right. Yeah, no. I think that's the thing, cause you love talking about how often you almost crap yourself.

No, you talk about me doing that all the time. Because offline you talk about it. You're not going to be talking about it. No, I don't. Yes, you do. How often does he talk about almost crapping his face? Frank, you're a manipulator?

And you s you tell lies on the show and you create narratives and then people just believe them because you create narratives and you make it up in your own gaslighter. Get to Panga on my side. Topanga, you hear Jimmy's talking about us? You hear how he's talking about us? Oh, is that whoa. Is that Tabanga now? I believe she's had like a WWE event recently. Look at that shirt.

I'm sorry. That's a sick shirt. I like that shirt. That is. That's the redhead? Wow, that doesn't look like how who I remember at all. I honestly don't even remember her from the show if I hadn't looked up this article. Yeah, she was always with the uh the brother and the roommate and then her and it was like this weird love triangle kinda.

Do we have to go back and watch all of Boy Meets World? No. Oh. We don't. All right. We don't have to do that. Honestly. What episode stands out? When you think about Boy Meets World, what Hm. Ask me again after you tell your answer and then I'm gonna drink this water because there's something caught in my throat.

Two answers. One, there was a Halloween episode that scared the shit out of me. And I remember scene in that specifically where the lights go off and the lights turn on and the guy's got a pencil through his head and then he slides down the wall and he goes, I'll always remember he was this tall and I was

Terror. Yeah, the hollow anytime like a show is like like kids shows did a Halloween episode, that's when they were like, We're gonna scare the shit out of the kids that are watching this. Crazy I think Keenan and Kell did one that fucking petrified me as a child. I was scared of everything. I recently rewatched Oh man, I I I tweeted about this, but I recently was like it was up one morning and it was just Miles and I up, and I was like, yo, you want to like watch Are You Afraid of the Dark?

And he was like, In the morning? In the morning. And he was like, Yeah, it's too crazy. Because I I I loaded this I loaded it up. I was just like, dude, this show, like as a kid, it scared the shit out of me. Like it was really terrifying. There was one episode in particular, Tale of the Ghastly Grinner. I've spoken about it. And I was like, yo, you wanna watch it? He's like, Yeah, I was like, it might scare you. He's like, I'm good, dude, I'm fine.

I was like, let's put it on. And a bitch like you, Kiki. And we watched it. And boy, oh boy, did it make me look like a Little baby because it was not scary at all. Really? But come on, you could see why as a little kid I was terrified of this. Yeah, I didn't fuck with that at all. You know what I'm saying? And he was just like, You found you found this scary? Damn. Yeah, he hit me hard.

Dang you gotta show him like insidious or something. Now I was thinking now next I'm gonna have to show him something crazy. But Becca might be a little upset about that one. What? What's the scariest movie you've ever seen? The strangest. Is that the moment they knock on the doors? Yeah. Where it's just like, why us? It was like you were home. Terrifying. That's why? That's what they say. Well that's why you're barricading all those doors.

Yeah, I don't like home invasions. I don't like that at all. Who does? I don't like haunted shit though. That's like I can m get past that the strangers concept. Once you're getting into like haunting like I don't know why. See, on the opposite. I m things that are real freak me out way more than things that are like supernatural. Yeah, but like uh I uh I agree, but I I just feel differently about like

haunting and like religious shit.'Cause I'm like, oh I don't I don't know. I mean, yeah, I mean you all you were also raised more religious than I was, so like I can understand. Becca's like that though. But that's not why it's like there's there's Accounts of exorcisms. Like there's people who do them. Yeah. And it's like, what is that? Like, what's going on with this person?

That they think there's a demon. Becca's like you in that regard. Like a like a a a sci fi or like a like a like a a horror movie about like just like a person that's scary. You're okay with the moment it's like supernatural or like religious. Or like demonic. She's just like

I I'll watch them. The only thing that gets me out of movies is jump scares. I hate that You do you've said this before. You do the whole like who's texting me right now? I do that all the time. Or I get something in my eye for like ten minutes. Fuck No, Joe I love I love horror movies. Love'em. You like being scared? I do. Almost I like it. Like someone going like and you're like, one of my favorite TikToks is like that it's like a compilation of people scaring other people. Like they're like

There's like this kid that like scares his grandmother and he just like runs up to her and he's like and she like fucking like freaks out. I'm terrified of scaring old people. I feel like you could Yeah. They're they're one step in Yeah, dude. They're one one foot in, one foot out. You know what I'm saying? I feel like when you scare someone like that feeling in your chest, your heart has to like do something. When I was when I was a kid, my sister scared me one so bad that I started crying.

Yeah, dude, are you kidding me? I used to cry all the time for stuff. Yeah. Not being scared, that was uh the least of it. I've cried for numerous reasons, dude. Love a good s I love a good scene. Ninety percent of the time it was girls. Yeah, we know that. You cried about girls too. What up, bitch? I didn't. Remember when you you cried. No, it wasn't a real cry. I know.

Like when you're a kid, like everyone gives stuff out to each other in in class. She gave me this thing and Frankie was just standing next to me. Or I had like a bunch and I was just like going through and one of them said, Kelsey, it's like

From your best friend Kelsey. And then he went, What? And I looked at him. He looked at me like I stabbed him and he was like I thought I was your best friend. Listen, we've got to be like, You are. She wrote that. I didn't write that and he was like Two weeks, bro. Two weeks. You being the best friend? I thought I thought it was about Kelsey. Like he liked Kelsey as well. Listen. No! We've established that I am a dominant Leo.

And one of my traits is that I am loyal. I'm rider fucking die from that. That's not loyalty. That is loyalty, bitch. How is that loyal?'Cause you were being disloyal. You I wasn't being disloyal. Your best friend cheated on me. You best friend cheated. She said I was her best friend. Yeah. That doesn't mean she's like, Why would she say that? Why would she insume that that that that relationship is there? Can I be honest with you? Yeah. I have no idea.

She moved away and this might have been the basement yard with Kelsey and Joe. But it isn't now. I won, bitch! Bro, do you remember Do you remember when Kelsey moved away? It was she uh could have I remember the next year. It was basically she went to Japan, dude. She moved fifteen minutes away. And I remember the next year at the end of the school year she came back.

In a sailing crash. But yeah, so that but you probably weren't happy about that either. No bitch. I mean I don't remember. Now I got rid of you. Nah, I I had a one at that point in time. I had one. So she can come back as many times as she wants. She can come back right now. Get her on the episode.

It ain't gonna fucking matter. I wonder what she's doing. I don't care. Hope no one finds her. Even though there's it's a very random name. A thousand million Kelsey's in the world. Uh but yeah. Her last name was Kelsey. It was Travis. Oh I guess. It wasn't Travis. Should we end the episode on that incredibly Over the roaring laughter. Alright guys, we gotta get out of here now.
