In short

The hosts riff about being sick and using NyQuil/DayQuil, sleep problems, home security (Simply Safe panic button, guns, strobe-light deterrence), strobe/epilepsy concerns (Pokemon Porygon incident), food that may trigger nightmares (especially certain cheeses), and a viral Coldplay concert clip where two audience members appear to react to being filmed together.

Guests

No guests. The episode is just the hosts (including Frank and another co-host).

Guest backgrounds

Not applicable.

Key claims

  • NyQuil can help with sleep but mainly “steps on” the head; staying asleep is the real issue.
  • Simply Safe panic buttons can be tested (they discuss test mode) and are meant to alert authorities.
  • Certain foods may worsen nightmares; the discussion cites a “study” claiming cheese (and other foods like hot sauce, chocolate, spicy curry) can contribute.
  • Coldplay’s camera moment may have legal/PR implications, though they doubt a lawsuit would succeed.

Notable examples

  • A Coldplay concert “caught in 4K” clip: Chris Martin appears to notice; the couple ducks out quickly; internet sleuths speculate an affair.
  • Pokemon Porygon strobe episode allegedly caused seizures in Japan.
  • Pre-bed “sandwich” debate: tomato/mayo/lettuce sandwich counts as a sandwich.

0:00Welcome back to the basement yard. Welcome back to the basement yard. There's Frank cheesing like a third grader on photo day. I'm trying to do like the Mr. Beast like smile and appear happy. But like there's nothing going on. The eyes are dead. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you're saying. Just like can you smile? Because you smile. Yeah, but like your eyes smile with you. You smile. You got to smile. No eyes. Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. No, you're still smiling though. You actually just did like a like you raise your eyebrow. Well, now it's difficult. I'm very sick, so for the people who are listening who are like, yo, you sound like shit, I am a little sick.

0:41I'm a little under the web, and I drank a bunch of DayQuil today, so that's probably why. Had some NyQuil last night. That puts you down like a dead fucking old dog. Slept really well. Had weird dreams. Dead old dog? Yeah. Yeah. Weird dreams. Your dreams at a baseline are weird. For the most part. I sleep pretty well. Are your NyQuil dreams just like, they're deep, dude. I guess that's where the idea of fever dream comes from, huh? Maybe. When people say, like, oh, that was a fever dream, like, it's just so fucking crazy. I don't think I had a fever. I'm just, like, congested. But I did have a very full cap of the NyQuil, the green flavor.

1:26Oh, green NyQuil. Which is actually not the worst in the world. I've had other – isn't there, like, a purple, like, a dark purple one that just like puts you on your inch probably i'd rather that one this green one didn't taste bad it was kind of like like a toothpaste oil type of thing i've had an orange one the day quill is orange that is dog shit yeah i i dog shit it's not if it comes in remember those orange like prescription bottles yeah if it comes in that chances are it's not going to taste yummy well it doesn't like the actual liquid is that i know but they have certain bottles that are like the bottle color is orange oh i haven't had that oh so you're you're high as a kite right now not high i mean it's just a little day quill well isn't that what people use to make like lean or scissor i'm not familiar with the recipe or is that a robitussin what's the difference i'm not quite sure i'm sure there's very different things i can't imagine mixing like cough syrup into and out like a drink and like drinking it uh i will say this i don't condone people drinking lean uh at all but it looks delicious i mean i mean it looks delicious it does look delicious it's like cough syrup sprite and like jolly ranchers in there which honestly you kind of got me on board with that's what i'm saying like it doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world although i didn't have any of that i don't know i don't want to like you know what though i took the regular amount that you're supposed to take.

2:55You know what though? I got a business idea for you. Actually for us, we're going to go on this at the ground floor, 50, 50, and you could be in 30%. Oh yeah. I'll take 30%. Something tells me I'm not going to be in. Well, you need to help. We're going to be in this together. You should start a line because now pre-mixed cocktails is the big thing. You go to a liquor store and there's pre, you know, pre-made, pre-canned, made rum and cokes or mojitos or margaritas let's start a line but it's like day quill night quill cough syrup so it's just like a nice like little fun way that you can like get your medicine in i think you're describing what the product is it's a liquid yeah yeah but like make it into like a more because those liquids could be a little tough to drink like some people like they taste like dog shit i mean i'd rather it be over in like a quick shot than like enjoy a whole drink i mean if you could listen it's the year of our lord 2025 people are becoming more and more creative with uh their their cocktail skills wait you want to make it an alcoholic drink no no no no it would be non-alcoholic but it would be like nyquil branded spritz yeah you know this is a horrendous ideas really imagine taking that stuff that tastes so bad and just like spreading it out over the course of buggo but like you can mix it with like a you know like a sprite if sprite would be on board sprite if you're listening which i have a feeling you might be i feel like your idea is falling apart at the seams here i don't think so i think this is a great idea uh i think it's one of my stronger ideas i know that you think that um but like it's it's all the craze right now let it go do you like on the bottle does it say only take like three times a day or something like that it says well you know it's funny actually this morning i it was like basically torture what i did i because i took nyquil last night and then i woke up and i felt like a lot better than i did the day before i also got an iv yesterday no big deal um just my thing now um Um, and I woke up and as I was getting ready, I was like, all right, I'm going to take some day quill.

5:14So I put it, I like filled up a cap and I drank it, but I kept it in my mouth cause I thought, Oh, how often are you supposed to take this shit? So then I went on my phone and I was Googling while it was still in my mouth and it's fucking disgusting. Yeah. And I was just like looking it up, but apparently you can take it like, like, uh, you could take like two ounces or whatever the fuck it is for uh every four to six hours so i was like oh i'm chilling you should do an experiment all right more ideas this is it's just as good as my old idea might honestly be even better an experiment take a bunch not a bunch take a standard dosage of nyquil by the way don't do this anyone that's listening and then also chase sit down with like a red bull and see what kicks in first see what kicks in i mean i think that defeats the purpose of the entire thing you think they'll just negate each other like i mean i think that it probably shouldn't do that and i'm not yeah you shouldn't i i yeah i'm no cardiologist what's the what do you want to get out of this just see what happens you don't run experiments in your life just to see like what's going to happen not with my health oh yeah me neither i like i like taking the extra strength nyquil and just seeing how long i could wake stay up and it feels like you're melting into your i can beat nyquil like i for sure can beat nyquil like without a doubt it's just when you give in to the sleep it's hard like it doesn't really put me to sleep as much as it like it steps on my head when i'm really Yeah.

6:51Like it puts you to like. I sleep. Really? Yeah. It's nice. I might need to start. I probably shouldn't. Nope. You haven't had a good idea since we started this episode. Here's what I should do. No. Start taking it. I mean, they've made like Z-Quil, which is basically just a sleep aid. It's not like they don't have like any like. They have that too. Chemicals or medicines in it and stuff like that. I know people that take it and they conk hard. I mean, I think Mikey is one of the people that like. Yeah. He said he's taking it. I'm not a big like you know supplement person like that neither am I I don't I don't really do any of that I rarely take even Advil and Tylenol if I have a headache for a day I'll just like let it rot for the most part yeah ever since I learned that like most headaches can be cured just by drinking a ton of water I've stopped but like there was a time where like I would take like every other day I would take Advil yeah I'm only quilling because we have a show tomorrow yeah so i'm like i gotta like speed this i mean i'm not i'm not like i it it takes a lot for me i could fall asleep anywhere almost any time but my issue is staying asleep so like nyquil and like z quill and uh like gummies of uh what melatonin they're not gonna do much for me because i can fall asleep it's a staying asleep that's a problem i mean i think all that stuff is supposed to help you i know what's supposed to do i'm telling you what it doesn't do you're you're yeah i just don't know i just can't i just how many times do you wake up every night i mean it's not like i wake up i'm but like i i toss and turn and while i'm tossing i'm turning i'm aware that i am awake awake you know like it's not like i'm like is it a long time though that it takes you a long time to go back to sleep not particularly but like i i can't tell you the last time also i have kids but that even with the kids sleeping through the night i can't tell you the last time i had like a full night of sleep and woken up in the morning be like holy shit it's the morning wow yeah that's bad yeah not great yeah that's really that's not great and like it's crazy because like when we'll be on tour the idea is like oh like get a great night of sleep doesn't happen for me how often are you waking up do you think at least three times but like again it's not like a i'm awake it's like a i roll over but my but i know that i'm rolling over like i'm consciously doing it it's not like it's awake yeah yeah but it's not like i'm not like fully awake though like that's the thing there's like a there's like a twilight in the in between yeah and you know that sucks the burden i must bear i feel like people i i toss and turn it's i have a an app that tells me when i'm like moving or like i'm snoring or something like that it'll like tell me so i can track all that stuff so like i can hear on that thing like movement like it'll say movement and i can hear myself moving but i don't remember that really yeah like i don't remember moving at all oh i remember i sleep and i just like don't move like definitely move i remember i'm also like i'll hear something in the house and i'll be like what who is that who goes there basically i do you have a weapon i mean i i got these right here these bad boys right uh i do You have a panic button.

10:09What? I have a panic button. What's that? I mean, I know what it is. Well, there you go. Then you answered your own question. Well, I know that your house isn't what I'm thinking it is. No, I don't have a panic room. Because what I'm thinking of is a bank. No. So I have a button that if I press it, it immediately alerts the authorities that there is panic about. Panic? Is this something you bought? Yeah. Life alert? How does it work? It's literally, it looks like, it's like Life Alert. Sure, my grandmother used to have Life Alert. So you have Life Alert. But it's not Life Alert. It's through a sponsor of the show.

10:44Oh. Simply Safe. Yeah, what's up? They have a panic button? Hell yeah, they do. So what does it look like? It literally looks like a little remote, and there's one button on it. And it's red. And it's a red button. And it's hidden somewhere in my room. Uh-huh. So, shall I need to panic? panic i will did you have you ever pressed it no does it have a glass case it does not have a glass case is it just out and about it's hidden no i mean like um like the kids can find it and they can press it right that's but let's hope that doesn't happen got it um but like my grandmother had life alert and she used to press that shit regularly and they would just pull up no i've told this story my grandmother had it but it was on one of those like beaded chains you know like the metal beaded chains that you like you know like put on the sides of the clasp and she would regularly clean it she would press it a lot so she would press it and and and there was a box like wait why is she cleaning a necklace it was like a plastic button on a necklace and she would get food or something out i don't know she she didn't know what she was doing you expect me to know i don't know i don't know but she would clean it and then there was a box in our in our dining room and it was like a when she would press it they would call through the box it was like lined in with the phone they're like yeah you good yeah literally we there was one time where she did it and i was so annoyed because she was upstairs i was in the living room and i just hear and it always sounds like whoever is calling is like mid transportation to our house like it's like no windows down like are you kidding me we're on our way yeah and she was upstairs and i was like yaya you pressed it again and she was like what she couldn't hear me so i was frustrated so i'm yelling over to this box i'm like she's fine she's completely fine and they were just like okay it's kind of like the boy who cried wolf though because what if your grandma was up there and she she really like i think yeah i think that they knew my grandmother though and they knew that it was she was pressing the thing that for those situations like just respond to every single situation do you think you could accidentally press this button oh yeah yeah yeah you should test it out probably should right yeah see if it works see the response time i should just like i mean i'm sure i think there are like legal things behind like falsely calling the authorities lie yep oh i'm i don't like that i don't like lying i'm not like oh i thought i'm not gonna I'm sure there's a test mode.

13:25Maybe I'll test mode it out. How would you test other than knowing that they got the call? Well, like simply say, this is a pure fucking. Oh, if you call them and be like, yo, I'm about to hit the button. You could put, no, you could put your system in test mode. So like you can test like if you let the alarm go off, what it sounds like. I got like an extra loud, it's like 105 decibel alarm. Just in case anyone breaks into his house, the entire family goes deaf. I mean, that's a huge deterrent, a loud alarm. I'd rather be death than alive. Or death and alive. Death. Death and alive. Yes. And they know exactly which room it's coming from now.

14:01And where you are. That's fine. If someone does break in, I'd rather them come straight to my room than to anyone else's fucking room. Yeah. That's a fair point. But I'll put it in test mode and see what happens. We're going to figure this out. We're going to myth-buck this thing. We have no idea. Right now, I don't have a weapon, but I have several lined up for me. anybody know what that means anyone i have several lined up for me yeah like i mean i just need to get my my registration and i have been told that i will be gifted several guns oh my god dude making the transition to conservative is very interesting well no hold on i'm not going like full fucking ar-16 there it is you know the transition is nearly complete i have weapons lined up for me.

14:52I have been told. Are they cool or are they like old hunting? Those are pretty cool ones. Yeah? Those are pretty cool ones. Don't! I think one of them is a shotgun. That's insane. I mean, I'm just trying to scare a burglar. I'm not trying to like. I mean, what scares a burglar more than a fucking get out? Yeah, but if you had to shoot that thing, it's like. I can see how we're talking about redoing the entire living room. I'll be the one at the top of the stairs that like I hear a burglar downstairs and I just cock it and go, you got a minute to get out. You got a minute to get out. And the guy's like, fuck you.

15:27And Frank puts a, he's like, I'm giving you a warning shot. Takes out his fucking roof. That would be something. What? A shotgun? Yeah. Dude. Imagine shotgunning a person. Disgusting. Yeah. I wouldn't be pumped about that. I wouldn't feel good about it. Brand new house. I would be the one that like in these movies where I'm like holding the gun to them. And I was like, come on, leave. Don't you make me. Don't make me do it. Which would scare me more, honestly. What? If he's freaking out like that. Yeah, if you, like, break into someone's house and they have a gun out and they're crying, I'd be like, oh, my God, I'm so dead.

16:02Oh, my God, I just realized. I have, like, a really high-powered flashlight that has a strobe effect on it. Yeah. I got to keep that with it, right? Absolutely. Because I got to do the tape and I got to have it strobing. So if I find it, like, wait, what the fuck is happening? Yo, honestly, we're starting to dip into the toes of, like, conservative world right now. So, like, maybe we're, like, the show is going to, we're going to be, like, I know how much you want to become, like, conservative podcast of the year. I love how you're trying to flip this on me. It was a good attempt, but. No, I stand by.

16:42You want to be a cop. I've always stood by. What are you doing down there? That's a cool way to hold it. Get out of my fucking kitchen. I want to like is everyone's rooms on the second floor? I don't want to talk about the layout of your home actually. I will say when you just said high powered flashlight and then the strobe effect I'm like that might be the most effective like way to like deter someone because if I'm getting hit with a giant strobe I'm my entire I'm useless. Dude I can't see. Do you remember as kids going to like school dances and they had a strobe and it was just like what the fuck where the fuck am I?

17:16Yeah because it's like your hands here and then it's there yeah and you're you're and like the reason why i loved the strobe when i was younger is because i looked like such a good dancer in a strobe dude i looked like such a good dancer because like i can like move a little but in a strobe i'm fucking like michael jackson you know what i mean dude it's like i remember when strobe effects would come on at like our elementary school dances which by the way we also are not sensitive to strobing effects which is very we're very lucky because there are people that are very very sensitive yeah they got that leps yeah well the epilepsy not the leprosy i don't know if they're sensitive to yeah they got the epilets just like yeah boiling it down to the leps but like i remember like i felt like i was eight years old and i was like fucking hat away like i was at like a a rave in fucking Manhattan just like what is love love baby don't hurt man it's like fucking bing bing bing bing bing bing bing oh wow I feel like I'm there yeah I love a good strobe man oh what I wish I know we could do them at our shows do we do them at our shows now that I think about it do we do sometimes there's strobe when we walk out they do strobe but like it doesn't hit as hard as like an actual strobe what is the difference between like the strobing effect is it like a specific light like a strobe light is very unique i think it's just the intensity of the like obviously it's like on and off type of thing but i think it's the intensity of the light let's get a strobe in here dude and like the speed obviously let's get a strobe in here and just what are we gonna do with a strobe dance like we're in a 90s like euro pop fucking music video i mean i don't know how long i would last in a strobe i like i think you should only probably strobe for like 10 seconds anything more than that is crazy let's make a deal you buy a strobe light for the studio i'll put together the best dance playlist you've ever heard in your entire life frank we both know this isn't gonna happen i know like i'm not i'm not buying a strobe a boy could dream you know your dream is for a strobe light my dream is for honestly honestly right now it's a little bit of a strobe light you remember the there was the pokemon episode that got banned because of the strobe light no you didn't hear about this there was a strobe light in pokemon yeah so the very first season there was the episode that had the pokemon porygon in it remember porygon yeah yeah the like bunch of shapes yeah yeah yeah um it the episode itself had a strobing effect i think it was like when like porygon and pikachu like use their moves at the same time uh and several hundred kids across japan had uh like epileptic seizures seizures or maybe seizures yes as a result and they pulled the episode forever and it's like a lost piece of content we wouldn't be able to pull it up because of like it causes epilepsy but whatever you're imagining it's eight times worse it's so intensely bad yeah you've seen it yeah i've seen it you could see clips of it i mean we could pull it up for us we would never put it on you know god forbid but like it was like that intense that like since then i and unless i'm mistaken i don't think the pokemon porygon has appeared in an episode since oh i don't that's too deep for me it's a deeper cut i could be i don't work for the company but like that's crazy you know have you seen it yeah i've seen it is it like pull it up try to pull it up why'd you say it's so bad it is because the color mix is like very intense and like obviously Honestly, like, yo, you're – Yeah.

20:52Bro, and it's on a 90s CRT TV, like, that are smaller, and, like, kids are sitting this fucking close to it, you know, because they're watching Pokemon to begin with. Yeah. So it was – I never saw the actual episode, but, like, afterward I've seen, like, the clips of it and stuff like that. Yeah. I can show you. It's so intense, but, I mean, we won't pop it up, I guess. because I feel like I've seen some shows where uh it'll say like there might be some strobe in this or whatever like yeah so they still do it but they just have to warn people that it's a thing it's only it's only 10 seconds like 12 seconds but just just watch this oh yep gonna have to lower that for sure oh yeah that's not great it's just like yeah this whole like this is yeah it's It's the whole screen.

21:44Yeah, and it's – and I'm not a math scientist. I mean, I'm definitely not a math scientist. All right. I'm not a color scientist, but, like, I know that there are colors that are more triggering for people, like, in terms of, like, you know, with epilepsy. That seems like it is a cocktail of not good stuff. Yeah, that'll do it, I think. Yeah, it's just a full screen of flashing colors. Like, there's no, like, subject matter. Yeah, there's nothing there except what is there. so you had nightmares i did have nightmares well not that i had nightmares i just had deep deep deep sleep dreams did you hear the report did you have any cheese yesterday cheese yeah did you have any cheese yesterday what am i doctor cheese yesterday uh i don't think so well there's a i just saw this the other day that strains that it popped up there's reportedly a new study that shows that certain types of cheese can give you like intense nightmares cheese cheese baby i mean greg we know any cheese gives greg nightmares i don't know i mean wait like specific cheese like yeah i'm pulling them up now so there are some that are more like you're more prone to nightmares more prone i think brie was one of them like just like the creamier cheeses that i've never had a cheesy nightmare in my life i don't really i don't have a lot of nightmares when's the like my last nightmare i mean i've had like weird stuff i just told you i had that dream where i was like balding and had pimples in my fucking bald spots and shit i don't know if i would call that a nightmare a nightmare is like i wake up and i'm I'm like, holy fuck.

When I have a nightmare, that's mostly what it is. But like your face is like that? No, no, no. Like I'll be like, I'll look in the mirror and I'll see like, you know. A face? Like exorcist face. Yeah. Oh. That's a spooky one. Yeah, I don't like that. That was like the ultimate like jump scare, like back in like the days of like funnyjunk.com. you know the medicine cabinet medicine oh like they'd close it and it was there like fine oh and they close it like oh my god right behind me well the one that was very famous was the one that was like the drive through like the hills of like the netherlands and then the zombie like popped up or hated that so that was a tough one made me fucking yelp the maze game the maze game was a big one i remember that they had all of those back then i didn't like that fucking at all but if if i were to tell you that cheese can if this study is legit would you stop eating cheese no what are you insane i just want to make sure i know i know tell me so much worse things in the world and i would still eat the cheese nightmares it's all right when you give up what's the first cheese you'd be willing to give up like it's like you're cool with cheeses i don't even like really i think i don't think i've had a cheese i don't like oh that's not true cottage cottage cheese is not horrific but like for me it is i mean i wouldn't eat just like i wouldn't just raw dog some cottage cheese people do that no i know but like i i wouldn't do that uh i don't even know i don't know cheese that well like i know cheese but like not like you're not like boys with cheese yeah i mean the last thing i'm giving up is that fucking parmesan parmese mozzarella mozzies yo american cheese i'm good bro technically it's not even cheese but i like american cheese i don't like it it's the perfect i learned from that movie the menu it's the perfect cheese for a burger because it doesn't split it stays gooey yeah i'm cool on american cheese i don't need it i mean we probably you're you're better than i am we probably shouldn't be having i don't need swiss cheese either i'm good

25:47i'm pretty good with swiss cheese

25:53you're right over there hurt a little are you at least impressed that i got up that high for that long i almost felt like impressed that i could hear that because you know how like you get to a certain age where you probably can't hear that anymore that decibel yeah they have those things those tests where it's like only under 30 can hear this pin you know it's crazy because i'm like that I don't even really believe in but I know that it's real uh so all right you're not giving up any type of cheese you'll give up American and Swiss I mean if if someone told me every time you eat cheese you're gonna have a nightmare it would not affect my life at all if someone said you have to give up five cheeses but but you'll never have a nightmare ever again you'll take the nightmares no I'm sure there's five cheeses that I haven't even had I'm I'm all right I'm not saying like you know some like no i'm not giving up five cheeses you're not giving up five cheeses i probably know seven you know more than seven cheeses joe you could probably go ten bro you just named two four you just american cheese swiss cheese i could give up brie i guess you said mozzarella you said uh parmesan so there's five right there baby you know at least five more cheeses cheddar bang does jack add anything yeah jack but like jack cheddar is you know i think jack is its own thing i thought jack was like it's just cheddar cheese with shit in it i mean different type all right i love that cheese jack is good guy good good guy good cheese what's nacho cheese fake right but we'll put it in there i could give that up yeah that i'm fine with giving up too but i do love my pretzel bites oh i'm a whore for some pretzel bites that cheese is so nasty that like i'm good yeah not pumped about that i'm good on that oh i can't do it it's fucking disgusting i love i love cheeses i'm cool with cheeses i don't think it's ever given me nightmares though this might be bullshit is there other food that gives you nightmares can we look that up real quick um yes i have uh oh you have i have some here uh cheese is number one it's crazy It says avoid four cheese pizza right before bed.

28:03That's like. Well, four cheese pizza. Does anyone even sell that anymore? I think so. Probably. I've seen like microwavable cheeses that are like that. I mean, listen, I think it's probably a good idea to avoid a meal like that right before bed, period. Like a heavy, heavy meal like that. That's probably true. Number two, it says hot sauce. Hot sauce. Interesting. Peppies? Peppers? Interesting. Why? Why? It's more difficult for the digestive system to process, and it just messes up your body at night. Your body's doing too much. These are causing nightmares, though? Apparently. I can't even tell you when I've ever had hot sauce before bed.

28:42Who the fuck is having hot sauce and going to sleep? Yeah. Who's having four cheese pizza and going to sleep? Yeah. I mean, that I feel like is... I don't know. It's probably happened. People are drunk or high into it, but... For sure. Number three is chocolate. I actually have heard that before. Huh? That chocolate causes nightmares. Another thing I'm not really having before bed. Yeah, no. Well, I don't think it's, like, right before, like, you take a bite of chocolate and take a sleep now. I'm saying within a clocked hour before bed. Well, I mean, I guess that makes sense. Like, people have, like, chocolate as, like, a dessert or something.

29:15Why will, like, hotels put chocolate on your pillow? What the fuck is that? It's never good chocolate either. It's like dog shit chocolate. It's like a dark chocolate mint fucking bullshit. Also the chocolate they give you on planes Disgusting It's disgusting shit He's not wrong Although on the flight home from San Francisco The flight attendant had Very warm chocolate chip cookies My god Really? I might need a They were fantastic Another one is spicy curry Spicy curry So it sounds like anything that could just be gumming up the works Cheeses Hot sauces So spicy stuff I guess Yeah Anything that doesn't seem to be the easiest to digest It just makes your body do too much And the lack The worse sleep makes you have Just rattle them off What do you got?

30:06I got pasta Ice cream Milk Bread Chips So every fucking thing in the world? Jesus It's like everything That's crazy because I have I have been known to have a pre-bed sandwich And Wait what? Like after dinner? Yeah so you have dinner yeah then you get into bed not right away we eat dinner like because we have kids we eat dinner at like five or six okay oh and then i'm not going to bed till like 10 30 so like there's four hours in there that daddy gets hungry for a little snacky poop yeah so what kind of sandwich typically you're gonna hate me for it you know you know what sandwiches i like typically i'm going lettuce tomato mayo oh i was asking if they were just like like what kind of like oh like I wasn't having like a fucking Reuben, if that's what you're asking.

30:56Yeah, I don't know. No, like a meat sandwich? No, no. Mostly just like lettuce, tomato, mayo. You know, even just tomato, mayo, but also a pre-bed bowl of cereal. Wait, hold on. You will eat a sandwich that's bread with mayonnaise and tomato and that's it? Yeah. That's insane. That's delicious. Right before bed. Right before bed. I mean, I'm not disputing the taste. it's just like calling that a sandwich is bananas by definition it's in between two pieces of bread it's a sandwich i know by definition frank here he is ladies and gentlemen he's back i mean what do you mean i'm back you're saying calling that a sandwich it's a sandwich it's tomatoes how is it not a sandwich it's tomatoes okay so who cares what's on the inside it's a sandwich me that's what i'm disputing you're a you're a sandwich fraud you're a sandwich truther now you're on sandwich QAnon?

31:48Reddit chans? What are they called? I feel like you know what they're called. Reddit chans. What are they called? Forums? Reddits? There you go. That's it. I don't know. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's crazy. Call that a sandwich. Would you eat that sandwich? No. Why not? Two to one, you're wrong. That's just how it works. This is democracy, Frank. Honestly, he is right. Can you have a sandwich without meat? Yeah. Grilled cheese. Yeah. The veggie sandwich is a veggie sandwich. That's true, too. Well, then I'm back on his side. It's a sandwich then. Yeah. Two, one, democracy. I'm not like disputing the integrity of the sandwich.

32:29Yeah. You're just saying that. I'm like people who call it a sandwich. That's like. It's like a baseball player that is just like really bad. Like technically they're a baseball player, but like are they? You know what I mean? it's more of like if you if if you play what's the lowest uh form of professional baseball like is it double or little league i guess no no like it's triple what i'm saying if like in the minors there's like there's like uh frank it's triple a double a and a single a so single a is the lowest to my understanding yes okay so i would say that it's similar to someone who plays single a baseball being like i'm a professional baseball player like i get it you're a professional baseball player but we all know what we're talking about when we're saying professional baseball player you know what i mean that's kind of how i'm sure yeah okay yeah it's a sandwich but like it ain't a sandwich it's not what we have come to know is a sandwich but it's a sandwich baby and it's a delicious one at that right there i get it you're gonna tell me you've never had just a ugly fat bitch of a tomato and just like that alone is is just a nice beefy part of like your your food no and you squinting your eyes and saying it that way doesn't make it beefier uh it's a tomato at the end of the day at the end of the day that's not even a song but we have some sponsors uh before we continue here we have zoc doc which i am probably going to use if i don't get better in the next few days.

34:02But ZocDoc is a website and an app. It's a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in-network doctors and click instantly to book appointments. Okay. And all these doctors are patient reviewed. So they're going to get a score out of five. So, you know, who's having a good experience with these doctors and who isn't. And this is the site that I was using when I came off of my mother's insurance and I had to be an adult, unfortunately, I was like, I don't know how to find a doctor, honestly. So I plug in my insurance into ZocDoc. Then it shows me doctors in my area, the next available appointments, which is usually within 48 hours, if not the same day, depending on what time you like do this.

34:46But yeah, so that's what ZocDoc does. And I think that it's an awesome tool, especially, you know, for people that have insurance and they don't know who takes them or whatever, You don't want to get to the doctor's office and find out they don't take your insurance and now you have to come out of pocket. That would be, you know, not great. But check out ZocDoc. Stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to ZocDoc.com slash basement to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.

40:57I'm gay as shit. That's Nathan Lane. If liking Coldplay makes you gay, where's the dick? I love Coldplay, dude. I like Coldplay. You're a way bigger Coldplay fan than I am. Yeah, and they have this thing where it's like you put on these sunglasses and shit and it looks like there's hearts around. Well, you went to a concert several years ago. I'm sure their concerts now are different. Yeah. You go back to a Coldplay concert? Have I gone back? Will you go back? Oh, yeah, I absolutely would. You'd go back if they invited us? Coldplay? Mr. Play. Mr. Cold. Hey, Cold, play. Have us there. But at this concert, they had a camera that they put up on these two audience members.

41:44And it was a guy wholesomely holding his presumed wife in front of him. and they were kind of singing the song and then they both noticed that they were on the big screen and they both were just like oh my god and just ducked yeah you didn't see this ant dude it's it's and chris martin either either said like either like something like they're embarrassed or that's someone having an affair and that's someone having an affair unfortunately we live in this time and the internet was like we're gonna find out who exactly who these people are he's the ceo of a company she's like the head of like hr or something like that something like that which and i think they're both married to other people they the like the speed at which they ducked out of frame if they didn't do that we wouldn't even be talking about wouldn't even be a conversation but no one has the werewolf all in that moment well first of all don't cheat on your fucking spouse pieces of shit also we don't know we don't know what the hell's going on there Fair.

42:49We don't know. But I think the reaction was very telling. Also, this is all alleged. I don't know for sure that it's those people. No. There have been people that have immediately gone on. The internet sleuths have gone on. And they've been like, yo, this is this person. And they found a ton of stuff already. This is as of recording. Some more information might come out afterward. And we hope everyone's okay. Wait, what? Like, no one gets, like, there's no other bad things that come out. You know what I mean? Like what? What are you talking about? I don't know. just want to make sure it doesn't get there i don't know what you're saying put it out there i just it's wild all they had to do was just not react because like he like ducks out quick dude yeah and she starts laughing and turns around and starts laughing no i mean in the video that i saw she looks like she just turned around and then it like panned over to someone else and the other woman sitting there like oh fuck that's an insane thing to happen at a Coldplay concert nonetheless yeah now I'm gonna ask you a very serious question and this is I need you to put on your law hat law law hello in a way is Coldplay or their production team now open and now don't do the whole like what's right and wrong is cold play in their production team now open to like a lawsuit if this fucking dude's wife leaves him and he decides he wants to sue them no do you think he has grounds to stand on i don't think so why would he should we should we show the people who haven't seen it i'm sure by this time i'm sure by this time people have seen it i actually feel bad about like contributing to these horrible oh then we don't even have this horrible moment yeah we don't need to we don't need to show it we don't need to show we can just talk about it i just watched it quick for myself and it's pretty damn it's pretty bad yeah that's what i'm saying but like serious question do you think they've opened themselves up to litigation i don't think so i think that like i assume i mean i don't know if you're going to an event and there's like a screen and cameras there has to be something in like this is being recorded you might be yeah yeah so like what are you gonna do i mean yeah i mean that's that's that's just an insane thing to happen like and they didn't like target those people like maybe there would be something if they kept going back i've seen though that happened at the padres game we were at remember it was like a they like it was like a dance cam and it was a woman dancing and they went back to her like five minutes later yeah yeah um they did that and these people obviously didn't want to be on camera and they kept going back to them like maybe something then sure yeah but even then i'm like you're in this you're in the place you can they look like they were enjoying the shit out of some cold play and then they weren't yeah that night went south quick yeah and honestly there there may be some like actual repercussions that happen as far as their company goes i mean that's illegal isn't it i don't know about illegal but like it's definitely not cool that like the head of HR is having probably an undocumented affair with the CEO.

46:08Yeah. The power dynamic there alone is a no-no. The board of directors might have a thing to say. Yeah. The board's going to have a problem. I mean, they'll probably, I imagine, he'll leave his position, probably remain on the board. Now we're speculating about that. I mean, CEO, I mean, I don't know. No, yeah. He's going to have to. Do we know that I don't want to start naming the company, but like, I don't, I don't know what the fuck it is. The double whammy stuff. It's not like it's like Microsoft, you know? No. That would have been crazy. It's not like a fit. He's not a famous CEO. Maybe I don't fucking know.

46:43I'm not tapped in like that, but like it's a, it's, it's fucked. If Greg was here, he would have known he loves CEOs, dude. He's so frothed up by CEOs. But yeah, that's a toughie, man. I mean, I imagine this is not the first time that like, I'm not saying for them as individuals, but like the first time a camera at a game has like spotted something happening that shouldn't be happening. You know, it's hard to figure out what's real and what's not. Cause now they like set that shit up and it's like fake breakups and shit like that. But yeah. Yikes. I've seen a couple of times like on a cam when a guy has an arm around the girl and then they're on and it's like, Oh, I've seen that.

Read the full transcript

47:25Like in person I've seen that a couple of times. It's like, Oh, that was weird that is crazy like just i just i don't know it's weird to do that in front of like it's just so many people anybody can see you what part of the of the did they do that at like a like a dance cam or something at the show you went to i don't really remember it was it was a long time ago but it's like you're at a concert so obviously like there are times and when you're a band like that in a stadium they film the crowd so like they'll show some people singing songs and whatever Like, it's going to happen. The only thing is, like, they may have been so far away that they didn't expect that.

48:02Well, if you see, the video that went viral was of just a phone recording. So, like, it's not like it's the official video from the show. It's like someone was recording and it popped up. Maybe, like, their friend was on it or something. And then it switched to them. And everyone was just like, oh, shit. And Chris Martin was just like, what's going on here, folks? That line makes it like so much worse. Probably a trillion times worse. I mean, them ducking out of frame is like what got everyone talking. When you're called out by musician superstar Chris Martin for possibly having an affair, it's tough.

48:42The whole, the board is going crazy today, dude. Crazy. Do we know where this happened? I think I saw it was in like Boston or something. Oh, it was Boston. I saw it. I remember. It was Boston. I remember. Oh, so the board this morning is just like, this is a wicked pisser. Yeah. You know? What the fuck? You know? They're, like, fucking fuming right now as they're all drinking, you know, Dunkachinos. That's tough, dude. Well, it's safe to say that they're going to be single people, I think. I mean, I wish all of them as individuals, well, I don't know. That's all you can do. I mean, we don't know the exact situation.

49:24in a perfect world they actually were secretly not married to different people and it's i don't know in a perfect world no one got hurt yeah that's i think what we're saying how do we navigate these waters these muddy waters right here yeah no in a perfect world nobody gets hurt nobody and nobody gets hype put your hands up your hands up yeah nobody's gonna get hoi nobody's gonna get height um also in some news there's a there's a new dating app for disney adults yes you hopping on that what no is that something you think that you would have eventually got to if absolutely not there is i will say this there is one person in this room that would have been on that fucking app so goddamn hard okay let me let's do process of elimination all right i like disney yeah but not me right you're a disney guy but not you no so i think then by definition you'd hop on it's you yeah yeah it's you do you think that you would connect with someone via disney like that i don't think so it's a little intense it is intense i will be honest what would you have called the app so i know there is a name i know the name but it's not like disney date no what would you what What would you call it?

50:47I don't know. I have a good one. Okay. Mouseketeers. That is somehow worse than the entire idea of the app. What? I think that's very on brand. These people love their Mickey or Minnie ears. You know? Is the name like Disney-ish? No. Oh. Oh, so it's just kind of like... It's okay. Once you hear it, you're like, oh, that's actually kind of clever. But like... You got to think like... What if it was park hoppers? Fairly close, honestly. Park lovers. The park isn't the word, but there's something to do with going to an amusement park. Park hoppers. Line skippers. Line hoppers! No, no, no, no, no.

51:27But you're like... Line? You're right there, Joey. Line. You're flicking the rim and everything. Is it line? No. Oh, wait. It has to do with getting on a ride. And the word ride is in it. So there you go. I guess I gave it away. The word ride is in it? Yeah. Damn, that's sexual, dude. Ride hopper? Oh! Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Hop ride. Think about it. It's a dating app. Right. So use your... Wild ride. No, because not all the... That might be over-promising and under-delivering. You know, not all these rides might be wild. You know? Like a ride. A ride. Ride companion or something? No. Ride is the second word, but you're kind of on the right track.

52:10Hot ride. no magic ride no that's a good answer that is a good one but not all the rides might be magic mouse ride no it's called single riders that's actually pretty clever because like when you go on it when when you go online for like a roller coaster they're like any single riders here yeah i thought that's pretty clever single riders why was the clue hopper given uh because like that's the type of ticket park hopper yeah I guess that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Single writers? On July 8th, there was a guy on TikTok who is claiming to be developing a dating app for Disney adults. He explained it will be opening up the app for beta later this year and encourage viewers to share their ideas.

52:52Yo, honestly, that's a new level of single. When you've got to, like, create an app so that people... Yeah, like, you need to... And listen, I get you want to, like, help... Like, you have a very niche thing that you want to help find. Like, farmers only. You know, like... Yeah. That makes sense. because farmers aren't going to meet each other because they're busy farming dude what do you mean they're gonna they don't have any time they've got eating america they've got to check on their yield yeah and the farmer lifestyle is very specific yeah it is not only very specific but to my understanding time consuming and like yeah you don't have a lot of like free time you're working 24 7 basically i can't be going out on dates like this we're either together and we're in this fucking cow shit together or not.

53:34When do farmers date? It's gotta be like, I just met someone from downtown when I was picking up you know, some new manure and like, we decided that we were fancying each other. Yeah. And then we went and we picked corn together. We went to bingo night. Well, no, they can't go to bingo night. They have no time. They have time at night. Do they? The horses gotta...

54:32I mean, they're not working 24 cents. Bro, farmers work, man. I know, but they have some time off. I imagine by the time that their work day is done, they're exhausted. That's the life. Can I ask you a serious question? I am not built for farming. That's not the question I was going to ask. What are you going to say? Thanks for the clarification. How, like, is there any reality where you would have been on this Disney app? No, dude. That's not something that I need to connect over, nor is it important to me in the slightest. Is there anything about you as an individual that would require its own dating app?

55:13That's like if I joined a dating app for Marvel or something? Sure, yeah. I don't think so. I don't have any hard stances on stuff. Yeah, you don't. Where I'm like, I need it to be... You do like things hard, though. Like you're into things and you get into them hard. Like you're real into golf right now. Yeah, but I like pick stuff up and I like getting interested in stuff and I learn a lot about it. But like it doesn't become like, you know, my personality forever. No, no, no. That's not what I'm saying. Yeah. But like when you get into things, like you get into them. Like you start researching.

55:53You start doing this. You start doing that. Like, you know, it's a bit of a sprint. I'm the same way, honestly. I'm not talking down upon it. Yeah, but I don't know if any of those things would, like, be like, oh, if there was a dating app for this, then I'd definitely hop on that. Have you ever, like, dated, like, a Disney super fan? Never. Neither have I. Never. I've had ex-girlfriends who've had family members that were, like, really into it. Really? Yeah. Like, multiple times. I mean, our friend is a Disney guy. We know a Disney guy. Yeah. And he's, like, into it. multiple times a year. Yeah.

56:31Multiple times a year. Knows the ins and outs. Like, had a child and immediately started talking about when is the appropriate time to bring that child. I was convinced that baby was going to be named, like, Minnie or something like that. Leia. Yeah. You know. Leia's a pretty name, though. I like the name Leia. It's pretty nice. Leia is a great name. Have you ever dated a, like, a hardcore Disney fan? No. No, I haven't. It's just you, yeah. It's just, yeah, I would be the one. I imagine this dating app is just going to become people exchanging like those pins, like those collectors pins and stuff like that.

57:04And it's just going to be girls like, I'm into Disney. And guys just being like, all right, name any Disney movie that has ever been made ever. Where, pop quiz, where is Walt Disney's anti-Semitic head? Where is it? Fort Knox? No, there's a longstanding rumor that it's frozen under Pirates of the Caribbean. That'd be a hell of a place. It seems more like an app where two people who are alone but really want to go to Disney can meet up and enjoy the time together. Yeah. That's sweet. Yeah. A soft part of me, I love love. I want someone to find their person. However they choose to do that, that's on them.

57:45But this does just seem like a crazy, such a niche thing to have an app for. What's the user base going to be in the United States? 1 ,000 people? I think you're underestimating like hardcore Disney heads bro you're underestimating really I don't even know if this is actually I didn't know it was like just a guy who's like making it but like I think that if there was an app that existed for real I think we'd be surprised it'd be more than that the weirdest sex is probably happening oh my god the weirdest stuff people talking like goofy We're talking like cosplaying, dressing up, role playing. And there are people that do cosplay sex, furries.

58:30There's furry sex, too. That's a thing they do. Yeah, they do it. I think what makes the Disney thing stranger is that it is predominantly aimed at kids. Yep. I think a lot of Mickey ears will be on. Oh, man. You're going to hear like, oh, boy. I had to get it in. You understand. I totally get it. This is the appropriate time to bring it up. I know. That's your Mickey Mouse impression Yeah say something like in the Mickey Mouse voice No that like That was a laugh Something like Well you gotta give me something to say Like during sex Yeah something during sex Here's Mickey Mouse During sex Oh fuck Let's get to the rest of these sponsors real quick We have Square Square.

I mean, you gave me a scene, and as a committer to the bit, I felt the need to... To commit. I mean, how many... If people use this app, how many Mickey ears or Minnie ears are going to be worn during sex? Yeah. You said that, right? Yeah. Have you done that? Not yet. There's still time.

1:02:54Yet? There is still time. There's still... You have a lifetime. I mean, technically, there's still time for all of us to do it. That's true. We can all do it together. I'd throw them on. I don't have any I don't have any either I would have to go out of my way to get them Well you can come upon ears the next time I feel like I'd be way more of a goofy hat guy The one that has the ears and the teeth Is the teeth and stuff like that That I'm Kind of sounds pretty sick I One time I went to Disney and I bought that hat And I wore it I'd wear the hell out of that hat Disney got good hats? They got good hats How good?

1:03:27Good Alright I'm gonna have to get some Disney hats how is that i would like how are you satisfied by that answer how good good all right because if they were not good he would honestly i'm not even kidding good hats and you said how good he said good and you went all right well because he's setting he's setting a realistic expectation you know like if you were to ask me like they got good hats i'd be like oh they got and then they might just be middle of the road he's being strategic he's setting a middle middle ground expectation so i'm either there's no disappointment because it's just like oh he said they were just good you want a goofy hat i wouldn't hate a goofy hat yeah i wouldn't hate a goofy hat mickey ears i guess i'd get them there's got to be other cool hats though right what other characters got hats donald duck has a specific hat he does have a hat what's donald's hat it's just a little sailor hat kind of oh i don't want to wear a sailor hat oh they have i think they have a donald duck it's like similar to the goofy one where the bill is like just like a yellow yeah but that's just a yellow brim like i want like i think what's cool about the goofy is it has the teeth in the ears I just think at a certain amount of accessories It starts to look weird Oh yeah I agree with that Oh you mean me No anyone Besides children Yeah kids go nuts Enjoy all the accessories you want Are you going to bring your kids to Disney We were looking into it last year Decided not to just because of the age of Really Maeve And it's more realistic this year So I'm going to need both of your help Because What's that mean Well, just like planning and stuff.

1:04:57I remember when I was looking into this year, Ant was like telling me like the ins and outs and stuff like that. I don't really know too much about Disney. I'm more of a Universal kind of girl. I feel like Universal is more straightforward than Disney. Disney is like you need to plan. Yeah, you got to – if you're going with kids, I assume – like I know nothing about that. That you would have to do like the breakfasts and stuff. We need to have one breakfast with a character. My sister and her kids did that, and they said it was really cute, but it was a couple bucks. Yeah, dude. A couple dollars.

1:05:27They're going to take it from you for sure. Oh, yeah. I'm fully expecting that. I think they have pancakes that are shaped like Mickey Mouse. And I just want to say this about pancakes. Big fan. But when they're shaped like stuff that isn't pancakes, they're a lot better. It is a waffle you're talking about? Yep. And you are right. It tastes much better. I mean, I've never had a bad waffle, period. So I imagine that they only get better when they're shaped like something else. Are Eggos waffles? They are. But like, are they? Eggo's the brand. They have waffles. They have French toast sticks. They have pancakes.

1:06:01They're small waffles. I used to love those, dude. Dude, I would eat 12 of them. I'm going to tell you something, and I don't know. This might be a hot take. Eggo as a brand hasn't missed a consistently good brand. I had an Eggo waffle not long ago. Still as good as I remember. Yeah. Like, you know, it doesn't really taste like a waffle. like a belgian waffle yes joey you're not getting a belgian quality fresh waffle out of a frozen box no i know i'm just saying like it just it's it's but they have they have thick and fluffy ones that are they've got some power they got some full full full diapers i have french toast sticks that's a good one hell yeah i used to like those a lot the ones the mini ones are super fire the mini waffles oh my god love that are those the ones that come in like the four pack yeah yeah yeah i'm all about those loved those damn i'm kind of feeling waffles right now i don't if i had to pick between waffles and pancakes i think i would go pancakes though ah i gotta go waffle because you get you get texture with a waffle yeah it's all sponge with I like pancakes, but you get a little crunch with a good waffle, and on the inside it's fluffy.

1:07:24Well, if you get lucky, you get a waffle that's a little burnt. Oh. Like the sides are burnt. And also, I've never, and maybe this is just, I just haven't done it, but, like, I've had savory waffles. You know, like a chicken and waffles situation. Yeah. I've never had, like, a savory pancake. You know, actually, there was this diner I went to in Long Island somewhere, and like it was very interesting because you would uh order pancakes but on the side of the page they had all of these what looked like sides and you could choose whatever you wanted and they would put it inside the pancake yeah dude so like like literally anything dude they will put it in the pancakes one of one of the best uh breakfasts i've ever had was at a place in la years ago and it was like straw fresh strawberry and nutella stuffed in a waffle the way that you said stuff was so aggressive stuffed in a waffle just like this thing was like you cut into it and it's like yeah you know you know what's going on you know which you know what's coming was it fat it was fatter wait like fat it was a winston churchill of a fucking waffle baby no no i don't i mean like it was actually thick what yeah dude oh that's insane because what they do is that not a crepe at that point it is by do you know what a crepe is flat

1:09:08it is because they they put they do batter and then they put the shit in it and then they do fresh batter on top and they cook it like that that's crazy so good it's just like god it was so good dude i think i got like it was pretty boring but i was able to get you know what they did for me at this place did for me it's what they do for everyone uh It was ham. Did it do it for you? It did it to me, yeah. Ham, bacon, and syrup. Inside? Yeah. Which I love. Kind of like a McGriddle. Yes. I'm into that. When things are injected with syrup, oh my God. Do you just make a fucking bad face? No, no, no.

1:09:49Cut your head off? No, no, no. You might want to cut his head off. No, I agree, I agree. I got the hot takes flowing. I'm going to let this flow now. I mean, definitely not a hot take to have syrup injected with bacon. No, I'm about to hot take it. Oh. You ready to take my hot?

1:10:06What's your hot take? If this is about McGriddle's not being good, I'll come over there and hit you in the face. No, I was going to say that the McGriddle is the single best item McDonald's has. How is that a hot take? There's no way. There are people that would vehemently disagree. There are people that think that Filet-O-Fish is edible. Ew. You know? People would say Big Mac. People would say Quarter Pounder. People would say Third Pounder. The McGriddle is the goat. Double Quarter Pounder with cheese. There are people that would say the Chicken McNuggets. There are people that would say Snack Wraps.

1:10:42There are people that would say Snack Wraps. There are people that would say that. They just brought them back. People lose their goddamn mind for fucking Snack Wraps. I used to like the Snack Wrap. I haven't had it ever. It's not bad. People would say not go out of your way for it. People would say McRib is the best. I'm saying that the McGriddle Bacon, Egg, and Cheese is quite possibly the pinnacle of fast food. Probs. And I'm not even a big McDonald's guy, but it's up there. It's so good. Actually, the actual goat of fast food, I think is the McDonald's fries. Like that is like the best. And I know you don't like that.

1:11:16If I had that shotgun I was talking about earlier, your head would have been on the fucking elevator doors right now. Dude, it's like the best fast food item. No, it's not. Like pound for pound, number one. No, it is not. It is absolutely not. So what's the best fast food item ever? Crunchwrap Supreme might be up there. Crunchwrap Supreme? Oh yeah. A Crunchwrap Supreme? Are you nuts? The Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich? Nah, dude, that's not better than the McDonald's fries. The Whopper? No, I don't think so. Whopper, way better. I don't, I don't think that there's, like I think pound for pound the McDonald's fries are like Burger King chicken fries that's a good answer and you know what no it's that's a really good answer it's so it's not they've stood this the fucking sands of time that's not it is it I think that's right I mean I don't know what it is I I it's strange that this came up because uh recently World Atlas did a release of the top 10 most unhealthy fast food chains in the U.S.

1:12:23Okay. That's fine. But that's not what I'm saying. That what you're saying is that, say it again, pound for pound, I think that McDonald's fries are like the fast food item. Like they're the guy. If there was a players association, they'd be president. You know what? I'll say this. That's the Babe Ruth. but there's argument to be made that there have been other better contributions. Okay. They're the first mega star. Fair. Yeah. Babe Ruth. Okay. Absolutely. Yeah. I agree with that. But like, you can make arguments, of course, like some people like LeBron, they like Jordan. But if Paul Skeens, which is the Crunchwrap Supreme pitched to Babe Ruth.

1:13:09Nah, it's closer than that. Also, there are different things. that is true talking about a side versus like a thing i would say

1:13:20personally yeah they're not even my favorite fast food fry that's just a personal yeah i mean sure i mean that's you though like you got to think about the world and like the impact that the mcdonald's fries have yeah i agree it's it's probably on the mount rushmore of fast food items it has to be like it absolutely if i'm being unbiased i agree i think you're right Like, think about the fucking red box with the fucking M in it. Yeah, it's iconic. It's everything. I think I just saw that, like, Indonesia or somewhere is releasing a, like, it's like a 10-inch fry box for, like, shareable fries with your boys.

1:13:58That's fire. It's kind of sick. What would be on the Mount Rushmore? Shareable, by the way. Yeah, get the fuck out of here. Two large fries. My personal fast food Mount Rushmore. Yeah. The Whopper. Okay. I just think it's the— We're thinking of icons here. Not your favorites. I know, I know. And are we throwing in – oh, man, wait a sec, because Five Guys might be on the – No way. Five Guys too new. Too late to the game. You're right, you're right, you're right. The Whoppers up there. For me personally, I think it is the best fast food burger. I really, truly do.

1:14:32Crunchwrap Supreme. I think it is just – it is so thinking outside the bun. You know, like they really lived moss with that. They snapped with that. They lived moss with that. Okay. um oh man this is tough i do think in terms of i think the mcflurry is up there too whoa i think the mcflurry is up there because the the other most popular dessert would be like a like a frosty but i just feel like a frosty is like just like the cool underground brother of a mcflurry do we what it like can something like the happy meal be up there because i feel like that may be more iconic that's an incredible point and if it is if we're counting that it's got to be for me yeah right happy meals and specifically mcdonald's happy meal i don't know burger king has had some banger happy meals too they have happy meals yeah kids meals they call like king jr meals or something like that oh i don't even know what about i'm just looking through like the subways uh no no subways cookies no no no subway did have a good they had a good cookie but Subway has been...

1:15:38Subway's not great. They've been removed because of some stuff, okay? Even if we're, like, thinking about Subway, like, nothing iconic. Fair. What about White Castle's chicken rings? I like them. You're not going to get me to put them on. Although, White Castle... Is the Crave Case iconic? I did ask. The Crave Case is kind of iconic, and I think White Castle was, like, the first fast food chain. Really? I'm pretty sure it predates all other ones. You can cross-reference that. More than McDonald's? I believe, because McDonald's was like the 50s. I think White Castle was like the 40s. You're saying White Castle was the first fast food?

1:16:13Yeah, it is White Castle. Wow. 1921. What? It really was in Oak Castle then. 104 years. I think if we're going to count, we can't count Happy Meal because that's packaging. Okay. Because the contents of it are what make it, you know, McDonald's. but I'm going Whopper. I'm going McFlurry. I'm going cheesy, not cheesy gordita crunch, Crunchwrap Supreme, but cheesy gordita crunch. There's an argument to be made there. And I guess I got to give a fry option, right? Well, didn't you? You need a chicken up there probably. You don't need a chicken. Oh, Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich. Here's the bed.

1:16:57I've made it. It's done. Isn't Popeye's biscuit more iconic? Oh, if we're going by icon status You've been totally talking about that I was just going by what is the best It's hard for me to pick things more than like The iconic things are like The fries at McDonald's The Whopper The Big Mac

1:17:25I don't think anyone's gonna argue with you that McDonald's is like the... Yeah, they're iconic. They're the biggest. They might not be the biggest by store count. I think actually Subway is, or there was like a Chinese brand that recently overtook them. But it is just like, when people see the Golden Arches, it hits like, it's now like it does something to them. The Golden Arches. That's what they're called. I know, but I'm just thinking of like iconic. Like when you think of fast food, think of those things. You think, you're going icons of the game and I completely get and respect that. If you're asking me my personal what I think are the peak of they are iconic and they, like, capture what it is to be fast food, which is just, like, kind of playful, a little out there, but also delicious.

1:18:15Crunchwrap Supreme is so – how do you argue against that?

1:18:21I don't know. Chicken fries are way more playful because they're chicken and they're fries. Chicken fries are just good. They're not iconic, though. Yeah, I wouldn't call them iconic. They're great. Big Mac's definitely number one, right? Big Mac and Whopper are like icons. Yes, I agree. And the Crave Case isn't? But we can't go packaging. Now we're going packaging because it's just Crave Case and Happy Meal up there. It's a different mountain. It is a different mountain. It is a different mountain. Who else has iconic packaging like those two places? I can name them, but for the general audience.

1:18:57I don't know. a happy meal is like that is a that is it's so perfect the box is like the arches are the handle oh my god it's so it is peak peak peak design whoever figured that out should be a multi-billionaire and i hope they are it's ronald mcdonald ronald deserves what he's whoever designed that mascot needs to be shot in the head yeah how is that what we came up with here for mcdonald's kids kids used to love clowns. I thought they hated clowns. Now they hate them, but like back in the day, clowns were like cool, like legit parts of society. Like, you'd be like, what are you doing for the birthday?

1:19:37We got a clown coming. I know. That's so weird. We'll be there. That's so weird. They've also, I will say in terms of mascots, I don't think McDonald's is very, they're horrible at that. They're not good at it. They had a, they had a clown in white face. they had a giant purple thing grimace yeah well he's he took over coming back he honestly might be moving further i mean ronald mcdonald has a foundation that's cool they don't promote him i think they may have parted ways because i haven't when's the last time you seen ronald mcdonald bro they don't talk about the guy they had a burglar they i was gonna say they had a a thief.

1:20:20Yeah. A food thief. They had a mayor. Was Mayor McCheese McDonald's? I believe so. They had a little bird. Remember her name was like Tweety or not Tweety, like something like that. She was like a little bird. You know what I'm talking about? You're getting real deep into the McDonald's lore. Yeah, you're now. I know my McDonald's lore, folks. Yeah, you're in it, aren't you? The king is great. King is great, but he's also a little naughty. He's a little like. I like the king. He's a rascal. He is. Then you had the. He's a rascal? He is a rascal. Then you had the Taco Bell Chihuahua. Icon. Yo quiero Taco Bell.

1:20:57Massive, dude. Massive. Who else? In the 90s and the early 2000s. Oh my god. Who else? I mean, Wendy. She was never a mascot. Never personified. Yeah, she was never a mascot. It was just Dave Thomas' fucking granddaughter or some shit like that. I don't know. I'm talking like you could see them, people dressed up as them. If I saw someone dressed up as Wendy at a Wendy's, I'd be like, is that Pippi Longstock? Yeah, this is stupid. Have you ever done trivia? Yeah. Because Matt is deep in it. That's just Dave Thomas's, who are you talking about? I know things. Who is that? Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy's.

1:21:33You remember that old guy? He'd be like, I'm Dave Thomas. He was an old white guy. No. You guys don't remember Dave Thomas in the commercials? I know Rob Thomas. We all know Rob and should know Rob Thomas. Love Rob Thomas. You know? Cause you're just like the ocean Unmodern movies Just the same as the emotion That I brought you You got the kind of lovin' That can be so smooth, yeah Give me your heart and make it real Or I'll forget about it Cook em, cook em, cook Cook em, cook em, cook em Damn, kinda crushed that Shout out to Santana, man And Matchbox 20 Yeah, it's a great band Any other well-known mascots for fast food chains?

1:22:17I mean, Colonel Sanders. Colonel Sanders is a big one. Jared, he's a big one. Icon. Chucky. Chuckie Cheese. I love my boy. Love my boy, Chuck. Other than that, yeah. It's like giving me Chester Cheeto. I mean, technically, but it's not fast food. Yeah, that's just mascots. Yeah, that's not fast food, though. That's not fast food. The Pringle head. You know. The Pringlehead guy. Kool-Aid man. Kool-Aid man. But now we're getting past fast food. There's an argument to be made. Maybe we one day. What was the most unhealthy one again? So I didn't say. So 10 was Chick-fil-A. Sounds about right. Most of it's just fried chicken.

1:23:03Yeah. You know. Nine Little Caesars. I've had it once. Never having that again. I've never had it. Won't ever. I might have it again. Really? I don't know. That's pizza, right? Sometimes it's pizza, but like, do you ever have cravings of like, you want pizza, but it's like, I want dog shit pizza. Like, I want whack pizza. You never get that? I kind of do sometimes. Every now and then. Domino's and Papa John's, like the fast foods. You're like, yo, I want some whack pizza. Every now and then I get a craving for Domino's just because I need an excuse to also get cheesy bread. Yeah. Number eight, Smashburger.

1:23:40Never had it. Love Smashburger. Very good. So these are the most unhealthy. Yes. Getting to number one. Number eight, McDonald's. In top ten, but not on the podium. That's pretty surprising. Shocking, honestly. You know? Seven, Quiznos. Never been to a Quiznos. Never seen the sign. Had it once, and it was just like sandwiches. What did they sell? It was like hot sandwiches. Like Subway? Like I got like a French dip from them or something like that. Yo, getting a fast food French dip. You're really rolling the dice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and those dice came up not in my favor, let me tell you. I remember a commercial for them was like the meatball sub or something.

1:24:18I remember it was those little, like, internet monsters. They were like, the Quiznos subs! That's pretty good. You remember them, right? They were like little rats with giant Steve Buscemi eyes. Oh, okay. I'm thinking of something different now. You don't remember these things at all? I don't need to see them. All right. Number seven we have here was Quiznos. Oh, there's no number six. Whoa. Oh, maybe there's ties. Oh, there was tie at eight. I'd love to see how they figured that out. Number five, KFC. That makes sense. I used to get the double down from them. Me and Keith used to go. You don't remember this chicken.

1:24:55You don't remember these little monsters? No. You don't remember that commercial? Yeah. It was like a viral thing at the time. We get the double down. It's two pieces of fried chicken with a sauce, cheese, and bacon between them. and like that's the whole sandwich. Yeah, the buns were chicken. I'm sure they were good. Fantastic. Number four, Dairy Queen. I think I've only had like Dairy Queen ice cream. I don't think I've had like Dairy Queen food. They sell food? Do they? It's the normal stuff, burgers, fries. Do they? I think so. That's crazy. I'll look that up. Dairy Queen menu. I've only ever had like the blizzards.

1:25:33But that makes sense because those are so calorically dense. Yeah. I mean, I've had a blizzard before. Yeah, dude. Every single time they go like this when they get to. Burgers, sandwiches. That's bananas. Sides, salads, snacks, pretzels, chicken baskets. So they have a good amount. Chicken baskets. Number three, Taco Bell. This one hurts because I'm a big Taco Bell fan. Taco Bell's good, man. I just don't know how it would be the most unhealthy, though. Wasn't there a thing that came out years ago that didn't have good meat? Or maybe they had great meat? I thought it was that they had the best meat.

1:26:09Oh, maybe that was it? That it was like their meat was the goodest meat. That's the goodest meat. I think their lettuce was causing some problems, if I remember correctly. Oh, there was like E. coli. That was a big E. coli breakout in like 2006 or some shit. That's not like Taco Bell's fault. Well, I mean, E. coli gets into stuff sometimes. It's true. Yeah, but to my understanding, that happens mostly when they're not taken care of well. who knows uh number two could have told you this sonic sonic i've never been to a sonic i've had sonic once and it was if you could believe it the worst hot dog i've ever had in my entire life you got a fast food hot dog oh hell yeah i did what uh i guess when is a hot dog a slow food um sometimes people take pride in their hot dogs yeah what's so what do they sell at sonic Hot dogs, shakes, burgers.

1:27:11They have these things called Cinnasnacks. It's like little dough filled with cinnamon, and wars can be started over those things. That sounds delicious. Yeah. Well, they have the ones, are those the ones, the Blizzard, right? That you hold them upside down? That's Dairy Queen. Oh, which one is Sonic, then? It's the, they have shakes as well, but not as popular as Blizzard's. What's the, what's the, the upside down is Dairy Queen. When you order it, they hand it to you and go like this. But there's like an iconic name for one of the Sonic drinks. And I can't remember. But they had those commercials where it was like those two guys in the car just like talking and like sipping on their drinks and stuff like that.

1:27:44Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's the rollerblading place. Yes. Where they think they're in the fucking 50s and people like roll. But I don't remember the last time I've seen a Sonic with a proper rollerblader. No, they all have them. They still have them? Yeah. That's so fucking crazy. You're very up to date on your Sonic knowledge. We used to go to Sonic a few times. Really? Yep. Always for the Sinesnacks. I know that when the Sonic movie like Sonic the Hedgehog came out they did like a deal where they had chili cheese dogs which I would have been on board for but they burnt me once yeah the most unhealthy reportedly the most unhealthy is Wendy's I love how you started reportedly because I don't believe it I don't believe that that is bananas to me that doesn't seem right Wendy's I thought, you know, you get a Baconator and a Frosty and some fries.

1:28:37I'm chilling. Is that bad? I think they taste the fakest. I really think they do. I don't agree with that at all. The Baconators? Like just the burger, yeah. That's crazy. I don't see that. And they're square. It's unnatural. I mean, being round is also unnatural, brother. I mean, White Castle's square. We're saying White Castle. Yeah, White Castle is like eating a shoe. We're saying that's natural. You're crazy. I haven't had White Castle in a while. But I remember it was delicious going in. First of all, what's a wilder you? Because I know they've been in your house. White Castle? Yep. I haven't had White Castle in at least 15 years.

1:29:14Roll the fucking tape. No, no, no. The frozen ones I've had, I haven't had them in a long time, I'm saying. But you had those. Almost most of the time I've had frozen White Castle burgers. They were at a hospital. What do you think? But what do you think they're doing over there at White Castle? you think they don't show up to the building frozen i'm not sure it's probably the same one but the bun was also frozen like the whole thing comes frozen what does that mean you haven't had white castle you're eating white castle but the bun the part of the experience is the soft of the bun what i'm gonna have white castle soon i'm saying there's a different experience from having a fresh bunned white castle burger yeah and having a frozen bunned white castle burger but you're having white castle you're you you're making it seem like i'm not having white castle but i think you could possibly with there are different things that go into when you have to free something and package it and sell it retail okay there's different like shelf preservatives and stuff like that you might not have that in the ones that are sold and cooked at the restaurant okay i can't with confidence say yes or no but you've had white castle is my point yes but not within in the last 15 years.

1:30:30You haven't been in the White Castle building. You brought the castle to your castle. I legitimately can't remember the last time I had. And you know me. I have a pretty good memory. I might have to break that and go to a White Castle soon. The only time I remember being in a White Castle was like, I was walking home from the movies with Keith. And like, we had just saw Dumb and Dumber 2. And we were walking home. Why'd you walk that way? I don't know. I was like, I think we were like lost. So there was one White Castle in Astoria. On 21st, right? It was on 21st Street and like, what is that? 34th Avenue Broadway?

1:31:11Because it was right next to Long Island City High School. Yeah. The movie theater is on 38th Street and 34th Avenue or something like that. Something like that, yeah. You would have to walk. Very out of the way. Out of the way is such an understatement. And also, not a great place to be walking. Not at all. Ever. Let alone the night. I remember that. And I remember being like, I was too young. I didn't know where I was. Too young. Dumb and Dumber 2 came out in like 2015, Joey. No. Which Dumb and Dumber 2 are you talking about? The prequel or the like legit sequel? I was a, like I was not in high school.

1:31:50I don't think. I don't know what movie you saw. because the original like it's called like dumb and dumber yeah dumb and dumber that was like a straight to dvd movie in like the early 2000s and then dumb and dumber 2 came out like 2015 it was yeah okay that makes sense 2003 you were not walking home from the movies i was with keith okay you might have been walking home from the movies at that age When did the second one come out? Like 2015? 2014. 14? Oh, so it definitely wasn't that. It was probably Dumb and Dumber. Yeah. I don't think that came out in the movies. Bro, I was young. Regardless, I actually think the last time I was in a physical White Castle was when I saw Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

1:32:42I saw it at midnight with two of my friends, and we went and had a crape case. you guys just split a crave case i don't think you realize i think if we put a crave case here you and i can finish it maybe how many is that 30 30 oh yeah you guys will be fine it's a lot of bread joey might have trouble with the bread why just me i feel like that's the most dense part of it i think you you and i understand that i can eat more than you sure but actually now I'm thinking about it, there's no way you two can do it. 15 each is crazy, dude. I'll put money, you both can't do it. Is there one near here? The three of us could.

1:33:20Is there one near here? If you think I'm going to eat 10 fucking White Castle burgers. I think between the three of us we could do it. Easily. Yeah, probably. Easily. All right, that's all I wanted to know. Yeah, we could case it up. Three of us could do anything. Well, there you have it, folks.
