So stay tuned till the end. Huge big announcement. Too much. Too big. Too big. Too big. All right. Welcome back to the big. Welcome back to the basement yard. How's it going, Frank? I don't know why I did that. Like I'm a fucking like like I'm Mozart or some shit conductor. Dude, doesn't that look so like satisfying?

Can I say something about conductors of a of a of a question of a music? Yeah, yeah. Train conductors of a music. Oh, no, actually train conductors to. Is it hard? Train conducting. I think the thing about train conductors. First of all, I don't think any train conductors listen to this. So we're safe. What about these conductors? Those that's it. You could do it. I mean, train conductor. I could do this. Look. And then watch watch watch. You know, I'm sure there's more to it. I'm sure there's a breakup here. There's a horn. I'll tell you this. I have never been in a situation where I can honk a horn like that. When that day comes, I will be a very happy young man. Yeah. If I'm young, when that happens, I got to say you're really projecting fall. And I'm enjoying that. Fulls here, baby. I mean, is it? Oh, I thought there was like a solstice. I mean, it's like the end like the the unofficial like how they say the unofficial start of the summers of Memorial Day, when it's still like a month later. The unofficial start to the fall is Labor Day. I that labor has been done.

Dade, it's done. I when I'm looking at your hat and your shirt, I'm just like I'm getting a cool breeze. Yeah. I'm getting pumpkins. Ooh. I went out for a by cry the other morning. The morning where I fell. Right. You know, let's make sure we we don't forget that I am a victim and I am injured and I deserve all this. Let's see your cuts. Mmm. Look at those scabs, dude. But I was out there and it was like 62 and I was like, oh yeah. Now we're going. Now we're we're moving somewhere. But this conducting, oh, oh, I would get so fucking into it, dude. I probably sweat my ass off because it's like a lot of like jerking. Well, like I just want to like if there's like a big part of it, if there's like a big part of it where there's just like a symbol crash, they're just like over here and they're just like bang. Like they just fucking, it is a little bit of one of these things, you know, because you got to be able to do this and then you're over here too at the same time while they're going. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I think I think it's all and this is me having no previous knowledge.

Of course not. I think it's all like you have to it's like one, two, three. Like it's it's on account. So like sometimes they're lifting. I love the lift. Do you know, or this they're shaking and it's like, me get up. Oh, but I like I like when they get a little soft with it. They're like, I need a stick. What are those called? A wand, a conductor's needle. A staff. There's there's definitely word for it. Or going to be pissed. I think it's going to be a like what you said. It's not a staff. It's not a staff. It's lighter. A needle, a stick, a ton. Oh, good for you. Is it a button conducting baton? Wow. Can we do a little exercise? Sure. Can you try to conduct Frankie's voice? I'll try to follow you. That's a great great great job. Are you going to sing a song? I mean, I will follow you. Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. He's my fiiiiiiiii. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah. One, one, one, one, one, two, three, four. Hey, Roon, Roon. Roon, Roon, Roon.

Roon. That's exactly what I think would be a great performance. Great. Here we go, here we go. You ready? We're like, yes. Oh, I'm in my heart. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh And like it's gotta be a good song like Star Cameras for that I just love that like they like the whole body's in what was that movie that that Bradley Cooper did where he just wore a fake nose And he's like I'm a different person now Mmm, I don't know that he was a my show my show it might have been my show Yeah, but he was like a very famous

Yeah, I don't know do you know any? John Williams I mean like the people that do the composing for music like for movies are those conductors? I when they do like live shows they conduct the fuck out of it. Yeah, they must so like John Williams Michael You know jichino jichino Whoever drove the polar Express Tom Hank I mean technically was he a conductor was he just kind of like ah He was like everyone in that movie apparently bro that movie sucks I know you have a special place for I don't like it. Oh, okay. No, no I mean I think that when you watch it you're like This is a weird even like a middle ground of when we had technology that was good and bad Well, I think what it's kind of sometimes referred to is like the uncanny valley where like you look at it and you're like this I know it's CGI, but it just feels wrong, you know what I mean like they just can't I have the counting movements Oh, oh, oh this guy's getting quick with it. That's a long baton bro. Oh, they got to see it

I love I love the like tracking. I love that you could just like Fucking look at how he's fucking holding it up there. Oh, he's in that bitch I'll be honest for you I didn't realize that it was like a screen effect until like maybe a second or a half I thought it was a ribbon. Yeah, you know, honestly, he's like oh and the face too like That guy would be a good wizard, bro He's he's out here like cast and spells on a bitch. I'm telling you right now Those are two thing and a sword fighter. I think with no training whatsoever. I'd be very good at Sword fighting. Yeah, like fencing. No, that's different like pirate sword fighting or like you know like a long like a long sword or straight straight broad sword Which is the one that they use in like game of thrones? I just call them swords. There's different types brother. I mean I just but oh man And we got it we got to get our shit down pack because the new Harry Potter shows coming out I know you're watching that you're watching that bastard, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude I watched the trailer so like now my feed is just all old scenes. I love it and I'll tell you right now

Dumbledore my guy had a fucking going on dude Which is like the bone the bone you talking about the bone again. Oh, yeah, I'm not talking about I'm talking about you know like I didn't know you're talking about the new one that they have oh, I mean it's John let's go We know let's go Santa Claus though like the same double door. I mean we got to see we got to see how he pulls through But like the gambe on bro. I watched the scene where like they're placing him under arrest and he's just like you want me to come Quietly, he's like no and he slaps in the fucking Phoenix takes him away and he's like a sassy fuck, isn't he dude? He is like I know that like afterward Jackie Rowling was just like oh He's gay by the way, right you watch those movies. There's little things in there to see a little bit of his like He's got some sugar. He's got some he's got some. Is he the one with the one with the anal beads on it? Yeah, whoa, that's the elder one whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, is that the one are you not first in I don't remember if that was his wand or not as all the elder one is his wand Technically, but then who gets it from him

God, it's kind of shit, dude. You know, it's crazy. I feel like this those movies are the only ones that I consistently watch like year over year Nothing else you watch home alone That's a fact. Well, yeah, that's a good one Yeah, that's true holiday movies are the ones like Halloween movies We've already started ripping those hoax. Really? Has been on for other. Oh, it has been on and we're here at our yearly check-in I just want to make sure I say it again. I believe that bet midler as What's her name Sanderson in that movie when when a Fred Sanderson is one of the best acting performances I've ever seen in my entire life such a funny Take it's a perfect movie nearly. I mean, it's it's bet midler so yeah, and like it's just so good But it's like Halloween movies and Christmas movies are the ones that like I've probably when you think about them Watch the most because you just rewatch the Yeah, home alone home alone too. There's just so good. It also home alone like kind of just like I'm not in the Christmas mood until I watch that like that's the thing that gets me over the edge

Do you wait or do you like you play around and you're like you're not like I'm gonna wait until the day after Thanksgiving You're like yo fucking November 19th throwing on before it's in stores, which now it's getting closer That's like you getting earlier earlier like I've already ripped a couple Yeah, there are stores that set them. I mean, I remember when I worked You know in big box retail and it was like you got in like the end of August is when you started Getting the shipments of all like the holiday stuff and then the minute they get the opportunity to put it out It's like honestly like like a week before Halloween. They're like put that pitch out there You'll see like the lights and everything. It's exciting. Well, this is like the time of the year where there is holidays You know, I mean, it's like it the rest is kind of like spread out and then you have like yo fucking Halloween fucking Thanksgiving That's fucking Christmas. Oh, it's I mean if you think of it from October to February that bitch is packed whole shit. That's true like We got Halloween Thanksgiving Christmas if you celebrate quanza we have quanza. There's there's Hanukkah

There's New Year's there's presidents days in there somewhere. Well, that's not some people celebrate quite it What do they do they thank George Washington? For and then it kind of ends around Valentine's day. Yeah. Yeah. What were you raising your hand about did this summer kind of suck? Speak for yourself. Don't why it's just like the weather was ass. I feel like it kind of like zoomed by this one Time flies when you're having fun though. There's a lot of rain. I can't speak for you agree with that really a lot of rain It's a lot of rain was there there what I I Remember a lot of rain, but I could only speak for myself. We we went nuts We had so much fun this summer like so maybe it's just your summer bitch. Yeah, maybe you had to like go out of your way for yourself more Probably treat you. Why was the last time you treated yourself? Just something I've never been to a spa. I want to go there you go. Is that interest you? No What what are we doing? It just feels like you said treat yourself feels like something I'd be treated nice there I think yeah, you I mean, but like the treating of yourself doesn't necessarily means like someone is gonna treat you nice

It just means like you do something for yourself a little bit like this one's for me. Yeah, you don't go to a spa if you don't like the spa Well, I would I would like to get treated nice Yeah, but you're treating yourself nice is the point that I'm making one is the last time you treated yourself to something Wouldn't I be treating myself to a spa day? What are you? Why are you arguing? I don't know if I don't like it. I never you've never been So you want to go and like you know get a massage and maybe sit in like a soaking tub cool get your feet like rubbed Yeah, I'm not I'm not ticklish I heard that's a problem for some people They just look like you know I'm not ticklish I'm trying out okay, so maybe you know you want to go to a spa? I thought you were not you're gonna be treating him Yeah, I know you don't know you treat yourself. We're not doing shit for you. He's right. He's right I was about to get a spa day, but you don't want that he's trying to teach you something you Sometimes have to put yourself first Don't wait for the universe to do it for you you do it for yourself first But sometimes you need to just give yourself a little like you know, yeah, just once in a while

You know what this one's this one's for me. This one. You know what? I'm gonna take myself to dinner. Oh I'm gonna oh I like that. I'm just gonna get that you know like I'll do more a little more a little more a little more like the shoulders have to be in there Yeah, but like playful I can Should I go how often do you treat yourself to dinner both either? Oh not often never I would say yeah I like groups. I know I wouldn't I don't know that I would enjoy going like going to dinner on by myself But I would I would go to like a spa by myself or what somebody yeah, yeah, okay No, damn it. Yeah It's not it's not you got to treat yourself a little bit dude, and that's okay. No one's sitting there and telling you to go go into yourself Unless you For you and less that's a form of it so then that that bears that begs the next question treat your soul Yeah, when's the last time you last time you treated yourself? A couple weeks ago I was out in LA for something and and I I took myself out to dinner and I was like

You know and I just got a nice dinner to myself. I had a state what your favorite thing to do by yourself Second favorite thing we all know the first thing What is that he's he's talking about? Gooning cranking it got you got you got you I would say if I have a loan time. I love Sitting down and playing video games That's a good answer. I really really really do like okay It is so it is the one thing in my life that I really genuinely believe that like I can do and not get sick of Okay, you know, and I'm talking like an activity like I don't mean like spending time with like people You know what I mean like I'm just saying like it's the one thing no, it's the only thing I Rejoin like I can legitimately sit down with a video game or several video game and just play and it'll be like Yeah, like sometimes I'll pop this on and then I'll go to this and then I'll oh I haven't played this in a while So like let's say you were like you said you were in LA So let's say you were in LA and but there was a system there with like any games

You'd be like I'm just gonna rip this whole afternoon like 12 hours if I had the time Yeah, so I mean yeah if I had the time I could see myself doing that You know and then I'm gonna take myself out to get food or if I'm really feeling it I'll just order food and I'm just be like I'm gaming here. Oh Yeah, what's the thing you got like a domino? It's just like yeah, I'm gonna fucking be a busy. I mean I have I've engaged in piece of shit eating Regularly baby. Don't you worry. Yeah, I cinnamon sticks Are you cinnamon sticks over cheesy bread? No cheesy bread whoa Cheesy bread over the sin of sticks. No, I can't do that. Bro that cheesy bread. I don't know what the fuck it is It is like crack cocaine It is really good, but the cinnamon sticks dude domino thought they were getting to free plug here Yeah, they hate now bitch cinnamon sticks. The cinnamon sticks are good, but there's just something to put wait Did they get rid of them and now they have like balls? I mean I saw that someone has like cinnamon balls. Yeah, it's like I think that's Taco Bell

Taco Bell got balls of shit all the time dude. You ever have the cinnest snacks from Sonic I've never had Sonic in my life. I've had Sonic once and boy oh boy I never thought anyone would make me hate a hotdog. They so hot I thought it was just like ham like everything's ham no brother It's like it's like it's the ideas. It's like an old-timey drive-through. So it's like a burger joint and you could get a hotdog Oh, that's where they have the roller blades. Yes, yeah wars were thought over those things Wait what what if you were to just like sit down and like treat yourself to something like what would you do? Great, like buy yourself And it's not they're gooning in the corner all right. Although he may be You know I actually I am a person who enjoys Company and like groups, but I do think that like there are times I've been finding myself that like I just a nice Walk I just Just go for a walk. I love how I said sit down and play a video game and he's like being active

No, but like I don't like walking when it's hot though or when it's like freezing but that that like I guess I'm just in the mood because of your head. Yeah, but like that kind of weather and just going for a walk like oh What if like would you go out of your way for a walk or would you like just walk around where you live? So like let's say like drive to a walk. Yes Like would you like go to like if like say like 30 minutes from you there was like a pretty like hiking trail or like the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens I think that's a good example. It's kind of like greenery and stuff Would you go to a walk or would you just walk for the walk really depends where I'm at my mental state because I could probably do that or I would like Sometimes like I guess this is how I kind of judge it because there's been times in my life where I feel like I'm really going through it And then I'll just go on like a fucking 10 mile walk or something like just just rip it How long's that taking you four hours all day? I mean, I don't know a while But I've done that I've done it in the freezing cold to I don't know there's just something about walking it's like it's not like

It's not like exert it's not you're not like exerting yourself. You're kind of like walking. I mean you're all you are eventually Yeah, after 10 miles you're you walking you walking in the rain you throw in like a poncho or something on no But I love running in the rain I'm dramatic got it because you're listening to fucking define gravity in your head and you're like stepping in a puddle Exactly, I'm stepping in puddles as the fucking symbols are crashing. No one can see me cry I know well now I do but Running in the rain is awesome like being in the rain is fun because it's like being in the rain is really nice when you're young You like being in the rain is about to be deep But when you're young you're about you like being in the rain and then you're like taught that like oh You're not supposed to get wet not being the rain in umbrella shit But then when you just surrender to the rain you're like I'm just wet There's something nice, but I'm feeling it. You know what I mean? I mean the kids will anytime it rains Ruby and Maeve will grab An umbrella and their rain boots and go in the backyard It takes all of a minute and a half for the umbrellas to be on the ground and then they're just walking and singing and like

Scream singing at the top of their lungs in the backyard. They crush it There's something about to do the rain. I think there's something in the rain that makes people feel alive Do you remember the video of Drew Barrymore? Oh, yeah, she's like crying in the rain, but I get it Like it was funny to watch, but I get it. It depends on the type of rain if it's like a piss poor like Like no, I want it like I call it back and I call it 90s rain We're like it rains like you can look out and draw if you took a still photo like a fat like a fat drop Yeah, yeah, sometimes you get fat drop Bro, and it sounds they last time we recorded with the last week we recorded I drove home from here and it was 90s rain to the point where like it sounded like this on my windshield Like it was fucking heavy. Yeah, I was like this is good rain. I don't like sideways rain. I like when it's straight down You say you're only good with straight straight right? You're only going straight rain. You know how the gay Ray I only like when it's like coming down, but like when it's like in your face

You're like, uh, come on. Well, is it not always technically in your face if you're running in the rain? It's a good technically. I mean yeah Every time it sideways rains my door leaks so I don't like sideways rain I feel like you at this point fix it It doesn't sideways rain that often. That's a problem for a different day. There's other problems at the front of the line Got you like taking yourself to a spa. No, that's that's back If you all right, so we we will pose the same question to you if you were to have like a by yourself Enjoying the time want to like just unwind and be and what are you doing? I like the video games thing play Mario Kart Yeah, you do that and possibly want to do that. I just it's my it's my I like it. Yeah, I sit and then I check my phone No one text me then I go back to playing Mario Kart and then I love how like you like drink a snack. Oh You've gone through all that stuff. Oh, so that's a good So if you're doing this if you're doing whatever version of it What are you eating and what snacks do you have?

Trick so it's sampled there. Yeah, it's nice. Maybe order from a diner like my diner It sounds like you need to be a little more a little bit more experimental I don't I'm not trying to say that this doesn't make you happy. I'm sure I'm sure no I'll do it. This sounds boring as fuck. Well, I just think it is like a very achievable thing like maybe you could you know See how you would react to doing some other stuff like you're going for a walk But that's also because like I don't really like doing a ton of stuff by myself. I like company me too Yeah, I love how I'm like I'd be alone I play video games and he's like I like company But we said if we were alone no, I know that's why it's like hard for me to think of something and it's like But even like something like video games I don't like playing if I can't be like on Xbox with people really Oh, I love I could I literally you guys are like storyline Not video gamers. Yes. I don't like I was into that like there was a time where like I would play like a sassin's creed

And it's like no one fucking dog But I it's like those are that doesn't really happen anymore I think I mean, it's just about fine in the right game I'm sure if you popped on like fucking FIFA you can just lose yourself and FIFA for an hour I'm losing myself and FIFA current what you're losing your mind. I'm a yep. Yep. You're probably losing your mind Have you seen the new call duty gameplay? No, might be back Might be back also Grand The Thottos coming out so I Was never a huge GTA guy. I like Grand Theft Auto But I also haven't played in forever, but this it's getting to the point where I'm just like what the fuck like they're putting like real life Cassinoes in it you know like gamble with like your real money I also don't know if this is real, but I saw online that you have like a girlfriend that you have to text and make sure that you're like treating her Nice and I'm like I have one so I was so I asked this question in our group chat like At what point does that become Your life like what what point does that become cheating? So like if I were to be playing Grand Theft Auto because I think they said that like that part of the game that you're referencing

You have to like romance and date you're in game. I got a flirt I got a partner. Yeah, so like at what point does it become like this is a problem because I don't know if Grand Theft Auto 6 has this mechanic as a Recording it's not been out and I haven't seen an answer on it, but like What if you can like full on just have fucking gangbang sex in the game I don't know I started I would start slower I yeah, I don't know. I mean I would imagine it's not At that point I would you get into the AI of it all I would say that starts to get blurry right? Yeah, I would say it's like this is weird like if like I think if you have to use your boy like if you have to like pick like choose and be like Take her to dinner or sit on the couch or do whatever like those like that's fine But if you have to like put on the microphone be like hey, babe. It's me again. Then it's like I this is crazy She's like babe hold on she's coming back in the room

Are you calling me So That song is about cheating you told me that I oh you never put that together you told me that until later in my life Yeah, I didn't either until I was in the next room. Sometimes I wish you was you wrote completely fucked I just I feel like it's getting to a point with this game. We're like it is an it is an optional part of the game to do the whole romance thing so like I Can imagine there will be Relationships that as a result of that are like they suffer because it's just like you know the whoever it is It'll be like what you're not gonna take me out for her. It would never treat me this way Yeah exactly, but just like in the game like you're out and you're you're going on full dates and then you're like shooting up a Whenever fall comes back around it always feels like a fresh start this year I've been layering in some styles from the new lulum and fall drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the Entire day and not just one part of it Lulumman's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces

So I can just wake up throw on a matching set at a jacket or a fleece and head out knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lulumman.com You get station in GTA 4 you also had a girlfriend that you could take on bowling dates And we convinced our friend that if you go on a hundred dates you get an achievement and then there's a sex cut scene Complete lie. He did you guys are you guys are fucking horny little bastard. He did a hundred bowling scenes Then he went what the what yeah, we went. Oh, yeah I mean, it's almost worse that he told you guys. I did it like if he had just done it and not said anything And be like they were fuck your way also the payoff is a grand theft auto sex scene Yeah, I took it right there. Yeah, a 2008 You know fucking sex scene in a video. It's so long or just a full human woman experience could have been Will suffice that. I don't think we were there yet or man However, that is true. That's fine too or or any other right just cover it all

I'm just saying I think that like It's going to be interesting that stories that will come out because there's always these people that were like with Grandsiptole coming out. They're just like oh You know honey. I'm not no more dates for the next couple months because I'm gonna be playing the game But there will be a version of that where it's just like They're basically like having a full-on relationship in a game. That's yeah, that's that's tough You think eventually or like I don't see it's unrealistic that they'll be able to call you from the game to your phone And it'd be like voice lines that I think we're crossing a line or crossing a line I don't see that being super unrealistic. I don't think that's unrealistic either I think that if anything the future of video gaming is is that like incorporating your actual life into the game Interacting with you back when you really think about where everything is going to like With AI and everything it's like now interacting with your I'm like I don't like it. Yeah, like there's an app where it's like the grand theft autos six app And it's like your girl can call you and like tell you to come and you know Let's go and rob a bank together. It would be kind of like Pokemon go where it affects your in-game character exactly

What they like and like that in like where you could like talk into a microphone And it'll like determine what's going on in the game, you know It's not worked well, but like they had like Pokemon games like that where you could be like Pikachu jump and Pikachu will fucking jump and shit like that I'll tell you this If it gets to the Pokemon level where they're just like where I can like talk with fucking charizard Then I'm kind of in but doesn't charizard or not speak English. I mean put that you could understand you That's true and you could understand them, but everyone else sounds like jar You know, we fire You know, we fire if there were like glasses that you could wear and then there was like actually you could Pokemon battle and like they appear like on the street You know what I'm saying? I mean we're in a park and like we look in saints everyone else. Well, so like a kind of battle that kind of already exists would Pokemon go So like you can turn on like it's like I don't know what the toggle is called, but like Basically if they're if we're sitting here and we find that there's a Pokemon in this room and you turn it on You have to like with your phone look around and you'll see the Pikachu like hop up on the desk. AR

Is it AR? Yeah, so like it kind of AR augmented reality. Oh, so it kind of already exists like that And there are games like on the meta on the meta quest where like you could put it on and your it'll scan your room And your room will like look like someone is like an alien is like taking the roof off your house And you have to like shoot like that. I don't know if I like that. How do we not have a Yu-Gi-Oh dual thing yet When we put a card down and a hologram comes up. I could play pot of greed. Yeah, what happened to holograms That was so like awesome like in Star Wars where like do you could send a message? I'm letting you know right now if you guys we are at a really cool part of the conversation I'm so happy we're talking about this about hologram I'm just saying like it turns like video games are like that where I can I but it would also not be good for my Marriage you know Because like if Becca is like walking up the stairs and I go it's time to And she'll walk up.

That was a good snap that was a double good snap that was a pretty good snap can you how many fingers can you snap with I did something recently Like I I I bought a bag Yeah, oh like a purse oh oh like a man purse What are you doing like the like the ones that go around like like a pretty pack that you kind of put around your like your father no it's it's like a bag oh like a handbag kind of good for you a Merce good it's like a technically it's a tote bag a how short are the the hoops though that's what really makes the big difference I think there's both Can we see this back oh you don't want to pull it up as you want to show your friend I'm gonna get you for now You gotta get you that we just see how it has to be held um you can Strap okay like across you could oh it's like a bag

I'm confused as to what Like you're teeing this you're you're keying this up because there's something about the bag that we need to know about it It's just because no it's like a purse. I think that yeah Cool. I think that I'm making I'm I'm breaking down Not me. I don't know you what I'm but I'm like for me and breaking down This is this is your norms exactly what my fucking what what those people were screaming about into the airwaves first Harry styles wears a dress now you're buying a pair No, I'm buying a purse now you're buying a purse but I was thinking about it because I had like I've had laptop bags I and like they're nice but like I can only put my laptop in this So now so what's the idea with this purse now are you gonna be I can put my laptop in it But I could also have a bunch of other stuff in it. Oh So like I So so like you'll throw your keys in there Yeah, you'll throw your wallet in there Maybe not wall it always stays on my body phone That also stays on my body but keys so just keys in your laptop headphones

Which maybe a moisturizer which fit. Oh, okay. So all right now I now I'm like an extra charger Just always be prepared for whatever may come And this is what purses are what's going on? What's the size the size is like I don't have it yet. Ah, but I ordered it But it's like well, what was that did they show like a picture of it on a person yeah and What was what's the question give us a good general? I would say that it's probably like That's not a purse. I mean brother. Bro, it's big. He's getting there. Don't you say my purse not a person? Yeah, honestly, I don't like the way that you're talking about his purse first of all that's my purse Well, I'll be honest with you. I was like I think that I was like yo, I want to I want to get a purse Was that so like what was the off-signing like that? You all want to get a purse and I bought something and then I was like I there was too big I'm like this is too crazy too much of a purse It was just like a giant bag that I'm like I could literally probably fit Did you have to kind of like find a middle ground between like what is not enough of a person? What is too much of a purse?

I definitely wanted it to hold up that hold up that basement on tote bag I went right there behind you so we could show off the new merch and we could talk about it Actually, no that one's not coming out until holiday Not that yeah, it's a different tote. I cleaned up for reasons But the second one I have a feeling you bought the second right. Yeah, that's not that's no I did not buy the the money that's five thousand dollars Joey. I'll be honest with you if I saw you out with that On ironically I might hit you what I'm not doing this come on. Oh, oh, that is insane a money bag crystal clutch This is more I mean that's also a clutch That's a clutch. Yeah, it's not a purse, but you see I'm talking about the purse. I'm picture in purse Size tiny purse. Yeah, no, no, it's not it's not a handbag There the people that wear purses are listening to this right now and they're about to scream because there's definitely a word for the size at which it's a tote It's a tote it's a leather tote can we look up male leather tote bags? Well, we don't know if he bought that one. Well, I mean, I'm not saying we just need to get an idea to like

male leather We're putting purse put. Oh, did you get that second? You told me purse. I just said tote Now we're getting somewhere it looks more like this. So you see the first picture that brown one? Nope Oh, that was the first one, but I know which one you're talking about. Yeah, this one. It looks kind of similar. That's just a purse. Yeah Yeah, I mean this one has like a strap is that a purse What is it then? I mean, it's not a problem saying it's it's so we have an idea of what we're talking about. It's kind of a handbag Yeah, but this one has a strap so at what point do you stop? Are you gonna have like different ones like you'll have a black leather one? You'll have a brown leather one. You'll I just got black leather or leather. I'm trying it out Actually, don't know if it's real leather and I have no idea. I'm serious. I'm sure you got the real leather. It's all right It wasn't that crazy. How much do you think I spent on it? Um 200 bucks. It was a little bit more than that two 70 No, it was like three some three 40, but like some of them like there's there's like thousands dollars of so this is honestly

You have just made my job so much easier when it comes to your birthday in the holidays getting me person now I can just get you like a Louis Vuitton bag. No, I don't want that. I can get you like a coach bag. No I want point to you just go to full on the glasses. I actually I Go full on clutches. No, I'm not doing that. Um, whoo that dog one though. I don't know. I here's the thing if I saw someone with this I would be mad. Yeah, outside of like Paris, Hilton. I can't see anyone you know using this. How much is this? $3,000? $3,000. What do you put in there? Oh, it has a little dog collar. Why you I don't care. That better be the collar is not the part of it that's annoying It's the dog No, I don't even know if I can pull off a bag, but I'm like, you know what? I want something that could put my laptop in with a couple of other things I love when he does it or my shoulder and get a little cool. I love when he does this I love yeah, I love when he does this. They're going to be like a fucking gay slash feminist icon Joe Santa God. Oh, he absolutely can't you and Harry styles, baby. All right. Let's chill. There are a couple different

Couple different parallels. We both did shows at the MSG. Don't ask how many we both did them though. Technically. We both did shows at MSG. We did the same places. We did the same places. Yeah, we uh You know, you're now wearing bags. I You're not wearing back. Well, I haven't worn it yet But I'll come here with the bag. Yeah I actually I went for a run and I ran over the Williamsburg Bridge Have you seen the videos of Harry Styles going to soundcheck? No, he's been walk. I think he lives in Brooklyn Or maybe Zoe Krabitz doesn't book it, but he's been walking over the Williamsburg bridge to go to the soundtrack Soundcheck. What is it matter where Zoe Krabitz lives? I'm just saying like he's walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan He said Zoe Krabitz lives and he I'm assuming together there together. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that context clue This would help a little yeah, I don't know why I assumed he knew that but Um, so he's been walking over I don't know if he's been doing it, but he was walking over to go to soundcheck Well, I saw it when he hosted SNL he hoped he walked every day right so uh I

I ran over the bridge like not too long ago like last week and in the middle of the bridge there's like paparazzi waiting Oh for him. Yeah And I'm like that's insane probably taking a different route now. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I imagine it's he just just go through it Like all right, so let's do let's do something here just as an experiment Google um things that Harry Styles does And I want to see he's gonna pop up. Yeah, I don't know But if there is a list I imagine there are people that keep tabs on him He's a what do you what are you expecting to pop up? I'm just I want to see if there are parallels between your life And his life to the point where we could say Joe Santa goto Harry Styles You we can make a safe assumption here that no you act like google is this magic wand I'm like I but I'll tell you what and also the vagueness look at things Harry Styles does I'll tell you this He likes cold water swimming. Oh, no, you don't like that. Where are you getting that meditation?

He's not a Joey's not there yet. I it's a matter of time. I have done it learning languages and skills He does like that you do like that. Yeah, let me answer for you. Okay Clubbing an electronic music. No, he does not I don't think that's all I got only in Europe Proud of me to oh, oh he runs marathons Well, no, I mean warmer. He he runs marathons. I don't know that we classify. He's like a legit runner And we're getting warmer now. We're both we're three hour marathon. We're both not Harry style. That's insane It's fast shit. You also Wearing Women's clothing at a certain point. Do you think that you will Make the transition into wearing dresses and stuff like that and I'm not saying that in a judge my play. I am legitimately asking I don't know maybe if I get invited Whenever fall comes back around it always feels like a fresh start This year I've been layering in some styles from the new lululemon fall drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it

Maybe then I you know, that's where I would that's the pipeline. Yeah Okay, his birthday is in February Oh, he's the Pisces I mean, what am I doing? I don't know what What bird what tell me when his birthday is the first? Oh, well, that ain't you That's probably not why what I said that it's on that's a different sign even you don't even know Joey's birthday. What's my birthday? See 20 Fifth wow you got it damn it that that fuck fuck what time Oh god, I'll give you a hint there's only two digits because one doubles I don't want it one of mine crack in a safe. I mean, I just give you a 722 no

646 46 see frankly that I do that one Set me up on the second question his first word was cat Joe here. How do you actually getting this information? I'm texting him I just first word. I think we're seeing some possible parallels between you and Harry Styles and that's okay. Oh, no, I'm not saying I was gonna say oh no Yeah, you're like slowly becoming one of the biggest stars in the world. I don't even sing you could sing For you I think I tried to stop a laugh and it just said where did you go the throat? Do you think if I purse it up? A lot that you guys may be infected With the purse. Oh, that's how they said that the the Harry Styles wearing dresses. It was gonna go right That's what they were everyone was just like this is an attack on masculine names like this is one person wearing a dress. Yeah

I mean, I kind of have my laptop bag. I put stuff in I don't I don't think so but Look what happened with everything else The watch is really um Yeah, I just feel like it makes the most sense to have a something with you want all your shit with you Yeah, I'm cutting your ass a little bit.

We saw you there It happened when it was supposed to happen exactly this faithful day in this faithful day Yes, yes, there's an exciting announcement. There is an exciting announcement. I don't know

We have a new show Called hot ones game night and I am thrilled that we have secured the best host in the game He's in the room right now. Thank you very likeable guy. Yep Congratulations Oh Let's go Sorry, I know that there's more to announce before I ask my my series of questions. Yeah Good news begets more good news Because appearing on the show will be frank here you go Clash damage first episode is it the pilot we don't know but frank will be there first of all I want to say thank you for using the word begets on here because that has never been done before ever in the tire Exist I didn't even hear that well open your ears. I was I was listening to all the compliments at first I was like wow this is going really well. Yeah, this one really what anything because you know You said best in the game hosting it great in terms of guests. Where do I rank?

The best one that hot ones game night has ever had that's for sure Obviously technically not wrong. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. Congratulations. Thank you And I'm really excited the game is a lot of fun. Yeah, so like me and Greg are also like exactly executive producers on it And basically I'll be sitting down with a celebrity guest every single week playing a board game There'll be questions. There'll be hot wings. I will be tortured. It will be a fun time And we've recorded some episodes and they're just a ton of fun. Yeah, yeah, they they were they were a lot of fun the game was a lot of fun The aftermath might have been something they might have left something to be desired there But I enjoyed it. I mean, I'm also like a I like like hot stuff and stuff like that So I'm like yeah, I was fucking pumped and shit like I'm sure and your guys's position though that that goes away pretty quickly It's tough. I don't know how you do it. Well you eat that many hot wings in your life Well, it's interesting to talk to you because I feel like this is a unique experience

You're like the only other person on the world that I can talk about you know hosting the show where a prerequisite is that you have to eat Extremely spicy wings you shot a few episodes. I am curious. How is that experience been for you? Like I feel like I'm a hot one right now Um, throw a throw a big gets in there again. I feel like I wasn't really paying attention to that part because once this idea started forming I was like this just sounds like such a fun idea and then once I arrived on set for the first taping I was like oh shit. I have to Yeah, why did I say yes to this? Yeah, and then After the first episode I was like, I don't know how You do it and I was also like We're never gonna like shoot two in a day, right? Like cuz I'm dying over here like I think that uh You know, it's it's an honor to be able to work with you know the the first week fees company and do this show But definitely doesn't come for free. What there is a price you pay for doing cat. What was harder for I guess either of you

Is it the wings or the milk and or dairy that comes as a result? Well, I always tell guests, you know like when they're really crushing milk I'm always like hey, I know that this sounds insane given the circumstances right now But a milk problem is actually much worse than a hot sauce problem really? Oh, I learned that problem first episode So the game works. Yeah, you've been using things out. Are you are you not a whole milk guy? No, I mean, it's just the volume and the chemistry experiment that's going on your stomach when you combine those kinds of forces So I always tell people like, you know, maybe a glass of milk over hot ones But when they keep refilling it, I'm always like that's gonna be a problem later But I can't talk them out of it when they're just trying to That was me. We did ring pong. This is our first experience ever eating those wings. Yeah The amount of milk I drank was more than I've ever had since like 1999 but it was also done out of like necessity if I had not drank that much milk. I would have

died honestly because of that that those were hot those were very good and I know for it you pay for it later brother, but here is I think kind of If there is a glass glass of milk half full take on this, okay It's that the more you do it the easier it gets. It's kind of cart it's kind of like cardio You know like the more you do it the easier it gets the more comfortable you become in the uncomfortable I've started to look at each shoot is kind of a weekly ritual that I work my way up towards And then that makes the whole experience kind of easier for me But that's through many many years in this game. Yeah, you know like you'll learn these lessons and how You take those going forward. You'll learn those all firsthand, but just in doing baby I cannot imagine the reps because I've done years of cardio and it is not gotten a single I'll tell you that right now and I love how to fucking like in-shape people and just like It's like cardio. It's like I hate that Maybe there will be an episode that afterwards. I don't go to the bathroom to cry a little bit

Maybe that will be the case also. I just get this thing where like five hours later. There's just like a fireball Sin right here. Yeah, I'm trying to eat cramps or tough. Yeah, you might need to invest in a A bidet of some sort that helped me quite a bit. I've been really purchase. Yeah, but great product did I pay me to say that but great product Yeah, he's like Also, Tom's now is like candy, dude. I don't know what they did. Yeah, I mean at the office There's like chalk ones. We gotta get the candy Cuz the candy ones are good. We got people under the tongue plug. I'm your guy. Hey Let's get the candy ones in there. Um, no, but those are Yeah, so that's kind of like my thing as that my guess was like I'm gonna have a thumb Beforehand and then afterwards. I'm gonna Just get right before and what I imagine it OD would be and then also You Have a thumb cry a ton. Yeah, yeah, exactly But I did hear that there is Possibly some adverse effects from just like taking thumbs which is just like more bloating

But like I'm down to bloat. Yeah, you know any portness storm. Yeah, exactly Yeah, have you had to become like the like Expert of science in terms of eating certain things like understanding the biology of what's going on in your stomach to be totally honest with you I don't overthink this you know, I always like kind of the way that I compartmentalize is I'm like You know what Ray Lewis played 17 years in the NFL, you know like yeah, you know He stacked those games and did a lot of years, you know can be doing can doing hot ones be more of a Physical lifelong liability than playing linebacker in the NFL. I tell myself no, you know Like maybe that's just an idiot talking himself into something But I'm always like if he can do that I can do this but I really don't overthink the prep or even the postgame like I kind of just eat light before Rip the show and then go home turn on the air conditioning put on some basketball shorts It's becoming like a Pavlovian way a kind of

Reward moment of my week that I actually really enjoy. Yeah, you're like I'm gonna go home put on some loose shorts Yeah, yeah, sit in front of the AC Just let it. I'm not on email. I'm not picking up any calls like it's become kind of a Really lovely part of my week that I look forward to any any Have you experimented with ice bats if that helps at all? It's like the external temperature just kind of cool things down I've only done like a couple cold plunges in in my life But now the now the wheels are turning you're welcome. That one's free by the way Next one I will ask you to pay off side down. Thanks Frank head in there first. I think there are worse parts that you might want to throw in there first And you're you just did the math on that so if I'm giving you some tips You know we talked about the milk The other thing is when you're eating these wings, you know, you're gonna have sauce on your fingers Be very careful around the eyes Thoroughly wash your hands after every shoot because you won't think about it You'll go to take a piss and then you have a problem that's worse than the milk problem, you know And I don't want you to learn that lesson the hard way. I actually got I don't know what it was

But something under my fingernail And then like when I have my hand down like this. It's like pressing against my nail and it just feels like I have a wound or something like Pepper under my finger. Sometimes I'll take a shower like that night or whatever my whole body will be hot Yeah, and I'm like what's going on with my fingers like there was it was days after like three days after And I'm like I'm showering. I'm doing whatever. I'm trying to get it out But there's something lodged on my nail you'll be forever changed I wash my hands like a fucking surgeon surgeon the times I've done it like I'm in there And I'm like putting like the arms up like that and stuff like that and walking out like this It's uh, you got to be thorough because I when I was younger I had like Cooked with a spicy pepper and like didn't wash thoroughly and and it hurt like medically I thought I had a problem, but it was just learn every spice problem. Yeah, you see you you figure it out It wasn't anything real dangerous or scary. I tried to melt down spicy candy once and I pepper sprayed the whole house Well, I we did we did a video where we cooked and I I just saw a thing of pepper on the counter

And I just used it, but I guess the pepper that it was was remember the red pepper when we did the the cooking video It like everyone in there could not bring gas I guess that yeah, it was it was pretty dangerous, but oh god Well, it was fun. Yeah, it's alright. I'll be fine. We'll see you'll be a fine I'll be a fine. You're just like nervous thinking about it. I'd be like six months down the line, but I don't know if I could do it Fuck well a lot of good news Be getting good news. There's another big get But unfortunately, I have some bad news. So as part of the initiation into the great fraternity of spice We did bring some wings over here Greg's got quite the pepynist step walking with you. Yeah, you're smirking smiley bastard You have a preference do you want the flatter the drum? What is this? I'm trying to think about which one looks not as sauce, but they both look even I have I have a feeling that this is just like a good hee hee ha ha like they're not actually like hot

And it's just like we got you. No, I don't think that Greg's Yeah, I know why do why do I have one because you're because what do you mean? Why do you have one and now you'd be sitting there giggle McGee also you guys are in this together Yeah, go go you got one now. Oh, you really didn't expect that yeah go go get away go go get away. Yeah, you're welcome. We're all doing this now Now you gotta be All right, I think we just got a rip dip. Yeah, congratulations. Thank you. When is the first episode coming out September 30th That was a good one September 30th the first episode on the first week feast YouTube channel Uh, we'll be coming out. So look forward to that. No idea what time but we'll figure it out along the way But definitely go check it out. Uh, these are definitely hot because I sniffed it and it punched me in the back of the fucking you It smells good. Honestly, cheers cheers. Here we go, baby cheers to you and thanks. Let's go and let us know how our technique is as well So I like the technique for both of you. It's just very uh shoot first ask questions later. Oh my god

Why do why do we have oh No You can't breathe too much. There's a few breathe and you kick something back like into your science or something good night Bro boy, I did love how quick you're learning, you know, I love how you're picking all these things up I'm trying to like eat while breathing holy shit I'm trying to eat while breathing out Because there was a time where I Was breathing in as I did thank you god in heaven um What is my oh here is um Oh, man, my hands are shaking. All right. I want to let I want to sing like limp biscuit Glasses are fogging up a little bit Okay, don't do it. Come on. This isn't right. Okay. We're not gonna make people throw up here. I'm not you want milk What help help I want help if milk is help I need it. I think I'm Oh far I'm gonna try and do it. Do you personally try to be like I'm not drinking any milk So what I always do is kind of mirror what the guest does that way they don't feel like they're being

Silly or something you know what I mean. I'm always I'm always trying to let them know that no matter what you're going through no matter How crazy you think you're acting right now? Wait crazier things have already happened in this show So if you're gonna reach for milk, that's okay. I'm reaching to I'm always kind of giving whatever energy They're giving to the show. I'm always trying to like return it and equal an opposite measure I'm always meeting them halfway. Do you find that most people are trying to be like I'm not gonna have anything I'm just gonna what I have found You guys are talking I'm the time your life that's he's a host do he is understanding the rhythm of all I got this look lock in You don't just lock in Look at this I got this Um, but I think the guests who walk in with humility end up doing the best It's the ones that I think walk in with the kind of a cockiness or swagger about how they're going to do that always backfires every time Okay, and also one of my very serious questions is

I feel like you're regarded as one of the best interviews interviewers that we have in this day and age uh What advice do you have for me for that approach as far as that goes? You know what I would say like just whatever you're naturally curious about other people will be curious about So kind of let your own impulse and your own instincts let that drive How you construct an interview, you know, like don't try don't try hard. Yeah, you know what I mean just Marinate in the life of somebody else try to understand them Do a little armchair psychology and then whatever you're naturally curious about like let that shape the interview And then hope for the best man hope for the best. Yeah, you how the fuck are you having a normal conversation right now? You know, I think that he's right in that when you do it and you're just like a little bit more comfortable in the whatever I'm definitely in pain it really feels like a like a scorpion bit my lips like I have like two lines Like a vampire like fang to me right here

And it's just like a space and I'm gonna pay for that you're very confused, but what I'm saying aren't you? Who's fucking no you're drinking an energy drink to try and Did you do? We got you done it. It's so crazy. Dude, we got the right host You know, it's like you're learning all of the lessons and you're either even learning the rhythm of it You know like the way you ate it fast you got it down and then you were on your feet like a cat You know like ready to feel the question ready to react to the rhythm of the show If there's a pussy over here, it's this guy right here. I'll tell you right now Well, this is a mistake and this is a great compliment that I'm getting at the moment. Yeah, sweet guys I have big shoes that not feel I guess, but fucking god. I have a big Something something I can't think right now. There's a lot of stuff firing in my mouth God, I will say this is delicious milk. This is a whole milk. He loves whole milk. Oh, I love It's the right kind of milk for this situation If they came over here with skim milk, I was gonna throw it in their face Does anyone ever ask for almond milk and then you got to break it to them? Yeah, no, I mean no

We'll give it to them. So I don't I mean here's the thing like yes You can try to explain to an a-list celebrity like actually whole milk Yeah, but like the thing that I've noticed is like as the show's evolved and guests have gotten more high profile over the years The kinds of dietary requests are like the riders just get weirder and weirder and weirder Then you have these like nut-based milks and you know what I mean. So As that's happened, we always just try to be like the most comfortable least comfortable interview show So whatever kind of requests guests have about the lifelines that appear around them will always just satisfy them But like yeah, you're right whole milk is the way to go But it's actually rare that a guest is just going with whole milk But that that tells me that they know ball when they know ball. I know ball Sean Evans. I know fucking ball Isn't it true that like almond milk and those milks don't really help? No, you need a fat Yeah, yeah to cut the to cut the heat But you got a no ball like deep in the house. Anyone ever asked for like

Just like fucking Butter to rub on their mouth or like breast milk or something you know I'm trying to think like I remember like Gordon Ramsay brought in his own Mary Poppins bag of the spray right spice anodote yet he had That was actually who did that that was Mark rober who brought in like he tried to like he tried to fight Spice with science I remember like Gordon though he would have like donuts at one point He brought a milk fire extinguishers. So it was a fire extinguisher and he could blast milk out of it from across the studio But he had like on every wing something new but here's another thing that you learn Okay, is that nothing really totally helps like you kind of just have to You kind of just have to surrender to the experience of it all and just try to survive You know people are always like oh what's gonna bring me back to normal like when we're in the middle of the interview And sometimes I'm like you just got to kind of ride it out Yeah, I one thing too that I was very like aware of is not having chaps lips

Because I feel like if I have chaps lips and I eat a hot wing like I'm just gonna You'll feel it you'll feel it. It's gonna be bad. Does anyone ever swung on you afterwards like yeah like fucking square up You sent up a bitch Marsella Hernandez actually like semi-recently You know, he was just going through it in like a spice K-hole on the bomb You know like fighting night terrors, but like wide awake And then I'm hitting him with what I'm sure for him was just this insufferable game where I'm giving him You know like just a stranger than fiction news stories and having him decide if that actually came from Florida or somewhere else And I don't think he's hearing a word that I'm saying you know like as he's trapped in his own hell And I just keep rattling these news stories off and then he got up I would think to take a lap around the room and he just kind of squared me up and we did And he just sent a hook, you know that like I was able to I was able to kind of fake Um, but it like looked like a really well executed stunt punch in a movie. Oh, I will say this

He isn't movies now. Yes. He is and and thank God you got a voice like silk because if you were out there and you sounded like Fucking Gilbert Godfried or someone RIP I guess or like a long island Yeah, if you sounded like a long island medium. Yeah, she's like let me ask you something Let me let me let me talk to you about this that would Yeah, it's ten times worse, but you are very well spoken and it begets me Did I use it right also been begotten from both of them you've been begotten from the front and the back Yeah, exactly everything has been getting you I've got over here now getting it over here. Uh, it's really just a Nevermind. Yeah, I'm not gonna say that it's a it's a god. Well, I mean boy oh boy. Well, thank you so much for initiating us We appreciate you taking the time to come on the show and make this announcement Uh again Thank you for the advice and the kind words as well.
